I remember the last time I performed on stage and how much I miss it. This memory is fresh in my head because I was just talking about it with one of my high school friends on the way to class. My last time really performing on stage was in "Beauty and the Beast," my senior year of high school. The show was sold out, completely full house, and getting to perform to a group that huge is something i'll never forget, and wish I could do again. 
I remember eatting last night; I didn't have breakfast this morning... I'm pretty hungry.
Speaking of performing, I remember the last really good concert I went to. In high school I saw Paul McCartney perform at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Michigan. I sat 2nd row so I was pretty much in the middle of the action, but I could have been in the last row upper bowl, hearing that music live was what made my night, not necessarily my seat. He performed alot of his new music off his most recent album at the time "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard," as well as a lot of his solo music post-Beatles. But what really made the show, obviously, were the classics, The Beatles music. During the show he dedicated at least half of the show to Beatles tunes, all of which were his writing (he didn't perform any Lennon or Harrison songs,) except for when he performed "Something" in memory of the late George Harrison and another song (I forgot which one!) in memory of the late John Lennon. He also dedicated a song to his late wife Linda McCartney. The show was only about 2 hours, but those 2 hours are definitely ones that i'll remember for the rest of my life.

I remember the last good concert I went to too! It was Paramore, just a few months ago....totally different music I guess, but it was really fun. Haha...not really sure what else to say! Ummm I know we aren't supposed to say if we like it or not, but I like it HAHA. I bet it was amazing to see McCartney live. And like you, I'm really hungry too right now. WHat kind of food would I like right now? Three Cheese and a noodle sounds fabulous... I think I am doing this wrong. Did you act in highschool? Who were you in Beauty and the Beast? I know that feeling of performing for tons of people and how awesome it is. I wish I could do it again too. I danced, not acted though. But similar feeling I'm sure.
