My top albums have changed in the last couple of months... so whatthehay I'll make a new journal :]

1. How did you get into 29? (There For Tomorrow)
Theres a long story that goes along with this one! In late 2008, I was going to go to an Anberlin concert, but my ride BAILED on me... Depressed, I went straight to bed, crying all night that I could not see the band that, at the time, was the reason for my BEING! By the next day, the severe depression had subsided, and I was feeling okay, all to be ruined by one phone call. Low and behold, the child who was SUPPOSED to give me a ride to the concert, ended up going, and not taking me. To "make it up to me", my friend bought me a CD for one of the opening bands "There For Tomorrow"
THE END
