but i didn't have to because i was there.
But lets start at the begginning

They let us in a little early because it was pissing it down and when i went in the guy drew a line accross my ticket, i figured maybe they weren't using it or something but it turned out to be so the person who let you in to the main bit could see quickly if you were allowed to be there, i got sent up to the balcony to a seat that was 4 rows from the back!
Anyway, the support act was, well she seemed to think she was a hell of alot better then she actually was and half way through the set she seemed to think she was Tori Amos (except she couldn't hold the notes)
While she was singing i suddenly remembered the ticket i couldn't sell, this one didn't have a line across it, would it work? i told myself i was being stupid for even considering that but after the support had finished i thought what the hell and.... it worked!
It wasn't untill i got to the second from the front row that the realisation about what i'd managed to do actually hit me. I tried to laugh but i was so overwhelmed i couldn't make a sound and my legs were shaking so hard i could barely stand up!
I forced myself to calm down and noticed the guy infront of me had a really cool shirt on, he said he'd got it from Sweden 'hold on a minute' i thought 'isn't Almareallymatters ment to be here with a guy from Sweden?' i asked him if it was him and it was! then i saw coming towards me someone a little bit taller then i was with short curly dark hair carrying half a cup of wine and it was Alma!
I don't know how i thought she'd look but it wasn't really how she was but it was definately her, she is excatly like in her journals as in the SAME!
I can't really remember most of what we said to each other at first, i think it was mainly about how we didn't look how we imagined each other but she turned to me and said "your journal entries do my head in" great, i thought here's me thinking we'd be able to get through the entire night without having to talk about that. But she didn't make a bid deal about it, she gave me a hug and said "this is from Wildy" and gave me another and said "this is from SarahG" it choked me up actually, it always does when i think that someone may actually care.
Then Morrissey came on.
I won't bother telling you what the set was like as basically, THERE ARE NO WORDS but i will tell you that i kept looking up and suddenly realising it was actually Morrissey on stage so close to me, i was so happy and tears were streaming down my face and i have never been able to cry properly no matter how upset i've been, but i could do it then and it was a release i needed so badly, it was amazing.
I almost got to touch him but i couldn't reach, i have never been so pissed off at being short!
I did get part of his shirt though (thanks Alma xxxx) yes i did it's in my wallet forever and no matter how many people tell me to i will niether sell it on e-bay or use it to make a Moz clone!
I've never felt so happy as i did that night.
And even now in the final hour of my life i'm falling in love with him all over again.

Oh, I'm so so happy for you!

You know, your journals sometimes make me cry, but this one made me well up for a different reason! I really hope Morrissey does come on this site, because I want him to know how happy he makes fans. I'm overjoyed you got to the front and got some shirt, it couldn't have happened to anyone more worthy! Next time you're feeling down just close your eyes and remember that feeling, that's what I do.

Aw, yes, that hug was from me! She should have given you 2, though, so here's another one :)

*hug*

Take care,
Love and *hugs*,

    Oh! That is brilliant! Fabulous! Stupendous!

    I'm so pleased for you. (And a little jealous too!)

    So, you may not have touched his hand but it sounds like you got close enough to touch his 'aura'. Or something like that. And hell, you got a piece of shirt. That is the sort of thing that Morrissey fans die for (well...maybe no one's died for it yet. But it may happen someday!)

    That is so funny that you met alma and her 'blind date'...what are the chances? It must be strange to meet these people that you've talked to and yet not really known.

    I read a lot of people saying it was a great gig on the main page, so you picked the right one! He's so beautiful, isn't he?

    Anyway, more hugs from me and a reminder: you must NEVER forget a moment of it (not that you would).

      For some reason though, I thought Alma was blonde.... hmm....
      well, I'm sure we all look different than the ideas we have of each other.....

      I'm glad to hear you had a good time and I'm totally jealous (anxiously waiting for US dates).....
      I also didn't have the balls to go to a concert alone at your age.... and missed out on many an excellent show for no reason, so you rock! :)

        You got a piece of his shirt?! I’m so happy for you, Angel. I’ve been going to Morrissey shows for 11 years, and have never got even within stretching distance of one! Hope it brings you some luck and happiness.

        See you next Saturday!
