George Michael!

                My day yesterday? Work, slow day, like always. Go home, really bad traffic even for the trams, so stuck on trams in center of Wrocław for a while. Get home, make a nice egg, pickle, and soup sort of meal. Stay at home and work on character and story stuff for my fun, because my legs hurt and I can’t overuse them lest I desire to have pain walking to work and what not. Ah, finish up laundry, yes yes! Could’ve done it all the night before, but two issues: time and hanging space. No joke, my apartment looked ridiculous by the time I was done hanging stuff up. Hmm, what else. Oh yes, miss two calls the one day my battery decides to die and I forget to charge it until later. Otherwise, that phone is dead quiet.

                Yup. Simple day, I’d say. :D I was thinking to myself about it yesterday, and I was like, huh, I could’ve done a lot more while in Wrocław… But honestly… I feel I did as much as I could and wanted to, and don’t really regret not being more involved. You see, I was actually living here. Which is the experience I needed. To live here and know what it’s like to take care of yourself and all of that fun stuff. Ya know, since I want to know where I’ll be more comfortable living. And considering I had a blast just living here without knowing too many people outside of family, I think if I were to settle down permanently, I’d be the happiest person in the world, essentially. So this in itself is amazing. Of course, I’m reflecting upon all of this now because this essentially was my last Friday in Wrocław, weird enough. Next weekend I’ll be in Gdynia or Bydgoszcz, however my aunt and cousin decide to plan it. I’ll go to one place and the people not in that place will come visit. Which will be wonderful, really. My main goal is to see as much family as possible, essentially. I don’t care where; the people are more important than the place. Although, not gonna lie, seeing where my cousin Gabrysia lives with her family would be awesome.

                Ohhhh, there’s the arguing couple again! They were arguing again last night. No, this isn’t a nightly occurence, but it’s not a rarity either. I honestly do worry for them. Whoever they are…

                Well well well. I woke up quite early this morning without an alarm. Dang you natural body instincts. Ah well. I spent all of my morning drawing and doing character stuff. I managed to get quite a bit of stuff done drawing wise, which I'm quite happy with. :) I didn't leave the apartment until about 1, when Agata came to pick me up. Hania was asleep in the back of the car, and we went to Magnolia again, for some quick groceries and to get Hania's picture done. The latter part was not successful. 

                Besides that, we chilled at home, really. The kids played a lot, I talked with my parents on Skype, and even better, I finally got to talk to Stephen on Skype! I so needed that! Definitely have missed talking to him... Now, that's all we did until ohhh... 15 before 20:00, whenever we left for the stadium! For the George Michael concert!

                 It. Was. Epic. Really. The stadium is gorgeous. I love how one side of the stadium, the seats are set up to spell out Wrocław and Śląsk, I think. Just. Super cool. Great green seats. Great set up. All of it. It took us forever since... they had no clue where our seats were... Ya see... We sort of were VIPs. (When in the world did I ever think that would happen to me?) Yes, we got the nice little rooms in the stadium that are set up for all sorts of people to chill in and get drunk and have food. It was really nice. Pretty interior, barriered off seating area for us. 

                George Michael has a gorgeous natural singing voice, may I say, and I was incredibly disappointed for the few songs they decided to autotune. >( Super sad whenever they did that a few times. Because his voice really didn't need it. But I think they were going for the effect. The symphony did a beautiful job. I freaked out every time I saw some instruments, like the trombones or flutes, on the screens. They really did sound wonderful. 

                So where we were sitting, some of the people that we were hanging out with were speaking really loud, so the people in front of the barriers, who actually paid for their seats... well... they got really upset, and sort of had a mini verbal argument go down. Not that I blame them. The people I was with were just chatting away as if at some cocktail party. Which.. they sort of were, but still! It's a concert. And his voice was gorgeous.

                Most of the men stayed inside of the room, while all of the women came out and listened. It was really funny, cause at one point, one of them women was like, "But he's so pretty!" Yup yup. Fan girls even then. Oh! The entire concert was announced in English, of course, as that is his language, but I was sort of surprised there was no translator. Oh well! Ah, I got a ton of video of him, and some pictures of the stadium all lit up! Really, what a wonderful evening. I was in absolute awe and joy the entire time.

                Oh yes, everyone definitely did get at least a little tipsy, if not straight up drunk, I might add. The people in front of us called them drunks once... Ahaha. Yaaay! When I say drunk, I mean, after the concert was over, two of the men got into a mini fight, which neither of their wives could figure out what had happened to upset them... I mean, they pulled each other down to the ground, too. I really wasn't surprised or thrown back, though. I dunno why. Usually people here know how to handle their alcohol, but I also know that people do drink a lot... ... Which means those kind of events are always possible. 

                 Ah, at the end of the concert, when they were sending everyone out, they threw up tooooons of confetti up in the air! It was really pretty whenever it was floating through the air, high up. I felt bad for the clean up crew, for sure. Oh, and George got out of there immediately. He's likely back in London by now, no joke, getting off his private jet. 

                 So yeah, I was just... I was very happy with the evening. Such a nice, awesome, in the literal sense of the word, evening. I got to talk a bit with Agata's and Michał's friends; not too much, but that didn't bother me. I was more than happy just being there. Such an experience I will definitely never forget! 

                I drove home with their neighbors, though. Got home around 00:30. Ala and I had a nice conversation in the car just talking about my thoughts on Poland and America and the world, and what drags me around the world and everything. Typical, fun stuff. Again, I was called ambitious. So now, I'm just chilling and talking to friends while I get the chance. :) 

                So yeah, I was at the official opening of the stadium. And I just feel great. Gonna leave it at that.
