Woah. Can I just take a minute to say how overwhelmed I am by the positive response to my anxiety post? I was so touched by each comment and email and I’m so thankful that that post resonated with so many people – I was so nervous to publish it! Thank you for making it worth it 
——————————————–
Okay, on Monday, two major announcements were made that rocked my world.
The first announcement came via radio on the ride to work: Theresa Caputo, THE LONG ISLAND MEDIUM, will be doing a reading in Richmond, Virginia!!

I nearly drove off the rode when I heard the DJ mention giving away tickets. I think it’s a sign from the spirits that I even heard this announcement, because I normally listen to my mixed CDs on the ride to work because I don’t enjoy talk-radio.
I am so obsessed with Theresa and her show, and have no doubts about her skills (judge if you must), but I don’t know if I’m willing to cough up $120 for a ticket. I’m hoping to channel the spirits at the Landmark Theatre and have them convince someone to give this desperate blogger a ticket or two. A girl can dream, right?
The second MAJOR announcement came to me via email from my brother.

I have been a Fall Out Boy fan for a decade, but they’ve been on “hiatus” for quite some time. I loved them before they were cool, and I know that for a fact because the first time I saw them in “concert” it was at the rec center in my neighborhood. There were maybe 100 people there.
When my friend, Meghan, tweeted me the night before, I was so excited, but skeptical to get my hopes up. I mean, I’ve been waiting for this announcement for a few years now.
As soon as I got this email from my brother, I flipped out, calling him saying OHMYGODDD!!! We’re so going!
He agreed.
Later that day, I called him, and when he answered, I couldn’t help but sing “Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman. Maybe he won’t find out what IIIII know: you were the last good thing about this part of town.”
He was not impressed.
Here’s the thing: tickets for BOTH events go on sale THIS FRIDAY. I’m not one to joke about serious things (yes I am) but I might have to take a Xanax or two to keep myself in check. I mean, I cannot (cannot!) let these tickets sell out without getting my hands on a pair.
Let’s chat – Anyone a fan of either Theresa Caputo or Fall Out Boy?
I love Theresa! I almost think that I would pay $120 to see her! Now I wonder, if it costs that much for a large group reading, how much does she charge for private readings??
I love the Long Island Medium, she is totally worth the price, but if you do go can we get a double reading, I’ll tell my relatives to talk to you! hahaha
I have never watched the Long Island Medium BUT I do love Fall Out Boy. I went and saw them back in like 2004 or something (gosh I feel old). Fall Out Boy makes me super happy and just makes me think of HS!
I lived in Toronto for about 4 months back in 2006 and it was there that I heard the magic of Fall Out Boy! Hum Hallelujah was my fave. They weren’t as big over here in Ireland but I really hope they come here for a gig because I REALLY want to go. Slightly worried about who I can drag with me though…
Ah, if only I was in Ireland!
I like a couple of Fall Out Boys’ songs but not a huge fan.
and i LOVE Theresa and her show and her family. I think she is so awesome.
Omg. I just played that song and I’m getting those weird memory flashbacks. Weeirrrd. But kind of hilarious.
I’m so jealous and honestly, I think that is totally worth it to go see her. I mean expensive…yes…but worth it? I think so.
I pretty much had the same reaction when I saw that FOB was back on facebook. Day. Made.
I love Fall Out Boy too! Do you like the new song?!
New reader here and I love your blog and sense of humor !
Welcome!! Thanks for the compliment!
I love both of these things. I went through a huge FOB stage…and I’m currently in a huge LIM stage. Huge fan. (Also…I abbrev the names because I feel like that makes me an even bigger more devoted fan. Right!?
I, too, was at that concert at the rec center when they came to our neighborhood! Their songs own my mixed CDs. I am WAY excited!!!
Oh my gosh, wasn’t that the BEST?! Are you going to buy tickets to the show at the 9:30 Club?!
My boyfriend and I (barely) snagged tickets to Fall Out Boy today! They sold out in something like 7 minutes! Hope you got your hands on a pair!
Lucky you!! We didn’t! I am so beyond upset. It’s embarrassing.
