happy girl in happy valley

once upon a time my sister asked santa clause for tickets to go see Celine Dion in concert. Her wish was granted with two tickets in the nose bleeds [hey, i would have even been happy out in the hall] to see Celine!! Much to my excitement, my sister chose me to go. {it only seemed appropriate considering that our rock out music in the car is the great celine} I was extatic. We had this whole night planned out. It was going to be a dream. . .

now we reach the conflict of my fairytale.

one saturday morning i woke up to frustrated sssssssscreams. kristine then proceeded to tell me that our idol, Celineeey had the supposed flu and was postponed to February 22, 2009. i was upset--but only because i had waited this long and i now had to wait a few more months. NOPE there was more behind those screams. my sister then brought my attention to the calendar. February 22 was a freakin SUNDAY. how could she do this? how could celine do this to ME?! my sister and i both were thinking that we might as well go! it's a once in a lifetime riiiight? nope. my parents. ohh bless them. i usually agree and understand my parents decisions but this one did NOT sit well with me. people always tell me "i would have sooo gone." hmmm yeah thanks that doesn't help me out in the least. Sadly, i watched and heard from the people that surprisingly did attend, how magnificent it was. Even though this was her supposed final tour--I vowed that my life would not be complete until i saw her in concert.

I hope and pray that one day she will surprise the world with one last final tour or special performance and I will attend. But until then--I think Celine has finally heard my cry of heartache and desperation and did what she could. . .

i will be there. tuning out all the other annoying people to the back and to the front of me. focusing on celine and imagining me sitting there at her concert. ohhh i'd drive all night! hahah....but really.
