"She doesn't get it"

Tonight I went to The Format acoustic show. It was amazing. I decided that I would take The Format acoustic over The Format electric any day. Although the music was amazing, I think my favorite thing about the night was the girl sitting behind us.

Before the show started people are standing up taking pictures of the stage and she starts yelling "Sit down!" and talks about annoying it is when people stand up at concerts. Then when no one listens to her she gets mad and says things like "I'm the shortest one here" and "sorry that I'm jaded". Then she claimed to know each of the band members personally and after the start of almost every song she would say to the boy with her "oh this isn't the song they wrote about me so we're good." Then they started playing On Your Porch and she claimed that the song was written about her Grandpa dying. Then when they played If Work Permits and she said that was the song that was written by her and that the band "didn't give her enough credit." Then she started crying while singing along. Later in the show someone yelled "I love you!" to the lead singer and he talked back to her and the crowd a little bit. All the while, the girl behind us says, "I would yell I love you to him, but he would know it was me and he wouldn't be able to respond because it hurts too much." Apparently our little band here has a past. Then the entire show she was standing on the seat, blocking everyone's view of the show after she complained about people standing up and blocking her view. She told her boyfriend, "they probably see me right now and are mad that I'm not up front with them." The entire night I felt like I was in on something I shouldn't be, like I had my own VH1 Behind The Music. It was awkward, yet quite entertaining. The entire night I was straining my ears to hear what she was going to say next. Whether it be yelling profanities at the top of her lungs toward the band, or bragging about everything she knew about them and all of the songs they wrote about her, she always had me laughing at how ridiculous she was.
