Reactor Malfunction

I've always been the weird one when it comes to music I like and thus, have always wanted to go to a Juno Reactor concert. Clearly, no one knows who that is so I'll just explain them by saying that they did the Matrix trilogy soundtracks. Last time I tried to go to their concert in the US, it got cancelled because no one knows them there and they have no fan following. So I was ridiculously excited about the fact that they were playing here in London while I was here.

I had convinced Mamta didi to come with me cuz she's into the same music and was figuring out how to meet up for the concert since I had class late that night. I looked it up finally and realized that the "concert" started at 10 p.m. and ended at...... 7 a.m.!! I would be ready to be there until 2 a.m. but obviously, Juno Reactor wouldn't come on stage until at leastttt 1 a.m., probably later. Then there's the fact that even if it was a normally timed concert, only weird druggy people like this type of music. So the fact was, that if I went to this concert, it would just be a lot of drugged out people and I would wait and wait until Juno Reactor came out.

What's weird is that I decided that I didn't want to go at all. I don't think I could handle druggies and wouldn't appreciate the music when I was surrounded by people I didn't feel comfortable around. But what makes me feel like crap is I really love their music and I realize that I'll never be able to see them live, by my OWN decision. I don't know why I find this to be a big deal but somehow I do. Mamta didi just finds it hilarious that we both are such losers and can't handle late nights. Makes sense for her since she's almost 20 years older than me, but what is wrong with me?!?
