Abandoned Asylum, Marianas Trench, Summer.

Hello,

21 days and I am moving back to Kingston for Summer. I can't wait.
I saw Marianas Trench on the 28th with Lexie and it was INCREDIBLE!
I'd say we were in a pretty good spot as you can see, sure being squished and having random girls breasts pressed against your back and other peoples sweat all over you and being shoved around while trying to take decent pictures was frustrating, but I managed. 
After the concert, Lexie and I went back to my house for a bit and charged our phones because we were going back out.
Around midnight, AJ, Lexie, Mike and I went to Rockwood Asylum. I didn't really take many pictures, but here are the ones I did take;



 AJ got some as well;
All of those pictures were taken from cell phones.
There were a few security lights in the building but for the most part we were using flashlight apps on our phones for light. It was beyond scary and we were in this abandoned asylum for about 4 hours, we didn't get out until just after 4 in the morning!
I wish I brought my camera with me, but at the same time, I'm glad I didn't.
If you don't know about Rockwood asylum, you should read this;


--->           Rockwood Insane Asylum was constructed as Upper Canada’s first institution for the criminally insane. Although construction was not completed until 1870 patients began to be admitted as early as 1862 into conditions considered uninhabitable. The male patients were admitted into the main building as it was being built the female patients were housed in what had been the stable under horrific conditions. The facility was run by Dr John Litchfield who relied on large amounts of alcohol by day and sedatives at night to control the patients. The patients were subjected to inhumane treatments including bloodletting, enemas,blistering and leaching.
Dr Litchfield believed that the criminally inane were no more dangerous than the normal insane and made a proposal to the government to open the facility to non-criminal patients. The government accepted this and the facility was opened to these patients in 1868. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on your point of view) Litchfield died shortly afterwards and his successor did not agree with Litchfield’s views. The criminally insane patients were moved back to the Kingston Penitentiary from where they had come from originally in 1877.
Legends and Paranormal Activity
Apparitions of former patients, phantom screams, cries, bangs and other unexplained noises, shadow figures, disembodied voices, feelings of intense sadness and of being watched, mysterious mists and light anomalies and door opening and closing on their own.           <---

So that's where I went after a Marianas Trench concert. 
I have recently (as of yesterday) become obsessed with a new show. Skins. I watched all of season 1 yesterday and I'm 2 episodes away from finishing season 2 today. 
I am into way to many shows...
1. Being Human
2. Bones
3. The Lying Game
4. Vampire Diaries
5. Degrassi
6. The Walking Dead
7. Lost Girl
8. Teen Wolf
9. True Blood
10. American Horror Story
11. Twisted
12. Skins
13. AND I plan on watching Orphan Black.
That's pretty bad...Oh well.
I am so excited for Summer, though I need a job. I hope I have a good 4 months off school with family and friends, beaches and camping and so on. 
Anyways, I haven't written much, I started this with tons to say and now I'm half asleep and just want Timmie Ho Ho's. I'm going to get a coffee and when I get back I'll probably do one of my final assignments.
Life Starts Now, am I ready?
