"Staying Up, Waiting By The Phone"

Friday, I was up at 8, went to breakfast. Decided I didn't feel like going to class, so I didn't haha. Chatted with Monique & Alexa for most of the day. Talked to Steph for about a half hour or so. Me & Mo established what bands me, Mandy, her and Alexa are like haha. Here's what we came up with:

• Monique is Gym Class Heroes
• Christine is Panic! At The Disco
• Alexa is Rooney
• Mandy is Monty Are I

• Monique + Christine = SLAP! (shush, you don't know)
• Mandy + Christine = My Chemical Romance
• Alexa + Christine = Plain White T's
• Monique + Mandy = Linkin Park
• Monique + Alexa = Lost Prophets or Story Of The Year
• Alexa + Mandy = Halifax
• Monique + Alexa + Christine + Mandy = Just Surrender
• Monique + Alexa + Christine = The Audition

There's probably more, because me & Mo discussed this detail for 2 hours. I guess that says something about us lol. It was a good time coming up with all the combinations. Each combination represents who we are lol. I'm sugary, with no cred, and cynical, but dancy! Mo has edge, and cred, a bit of hip hop a bit of indie and a bit of pop, plus you can dance. I could keep going but just ask us in person lol. Mandy was the hardest for some reason lol.

Anyway, lunch there was nothing I wanted to eat sadly but I managed to grab somethings. By lunch time I talked to: Josh, Jeff, Joe, and Jason. Impressive, huh? Lol. I've got a thing for J's, sue me haah.

I write up a short paper for Econ, that I can't afford to print. That'd be 25 cents for those counting. I'm BROKE. So I call my daddy who forgot about me basically, and he comes to get me, he doesn't give me advance warning that he'd be there soon so I had to rush and pack my shit. But I'd be back at school on Saturday anyway so it was okay, to help set up for Brand New & for the show.

So I get home and there's no food. Rents go out and stick me with my bro. I'm craving DQ but as I said before I'm severely poor at the moment, and my paycheck wasn't in the mail where it belonged. new issue of AP was and over half the bands in the Glamour Kills ad me & Mo had met this year lol. 2007 has been epic.

So rents ditch me and I'm chilling out watching the television. Kathy Griffin owns my soul. Jeff IMs me and he's all hey come over! Bring people and I'm all I say I'll be over later after the rents are home. So I chat with Steph and she tells me the events of the night. And I talk to Mo. Then i decide I have to work early & should probably not go out. So I text everyone and let them know I'm gonna chill at home for the night, and I wake up periodically to check up on my girls. I make sure Alexa keeps an eye out for Steph because she's got her eye out on someone else. Mo's been drinking alot so I make sure she's good too.

Oh, Steph calls me later and gives the phone to Jeff. He's all: "Where are you?" I'm like I gotta get some rest we'll hang out tomorrow. He's like call me, tomorrow, okay? call me, or text me. He really wanted to see me and it made me happy so that added a point to my day :)

I end up really falling asleep and waking up around 4am. I wake up and freak out because I was keeping track of my friends. I have 9 text messages, mostly from Mo. So I call her back at4am, because I feel bad because she's lonely, and I missed her, and she's all ready in bed and I leave a voice mail, I can't remember what I sad anymore but according to Mo it was the right things. I have trouble getting back to bed, so I go downstairs and grab a hot pocket. I left Peter at school so when I woke up I had trouble getting back to sleep without him :(.

"Brand New Fashion of Waking Up With Pants On at 4:00 in the Afternoon"

Today, I was kind of productive.

Woke up, didn't feel like going to class. Ran to the spot and grabbed a Hot Pocket. Got back, and chatted with Mo some more. Finally went to class, media's good. Talked about MySpace & lurking haha. LURK A LITTLE HARDER. Mo's having some issues with work... :(

So it's psych time, still think I'm probably bipolar haha. Class is over & I head to math class. I got a B on my exam and I was sooo happy because I might actually pass the class, which is an unexpected twist haha. Text Joe because he's not in class, and he's really happy for me because I got a B :), and he ask me to grab his test for him. Also chat with Zack through texting, and make plans for a dinner date. Today in math I even understood every thing we did which made the day better def.

So after class go to visit Joe, who's still soo cute haha. Chatted in there for 10 or 15 minutes, and he did well on his test too, and got his MIA tickets, so yay for that. Joe's a good time, and even though I don't like him, I wanna hang out with him more. I always have fun when I'm with him.

So then back to my room and call up Monique because there's alot I needed to share with her. Including my big big birthday plans. SLEEEEEEEEPOVER! Invite only, kids. It'll be epic, haha. And if the D's are all in town, dramaaaaa hahahahaha.

So 5:30 it's nap time, mmm nap. End up sleeping later than I thought and missed dinner and watching Disturbia downstairs! :( Oh well, end up rolling back over and sleeping until 11.

11, Dom rolls in, being all cute and Dom-y & tipsy haha. He walks to the spot with me & the other Christine. I spend the last of my money on nachos and cheese. So I get back to my room and chat with Mo until 1:15 as we discussed the different scenarios that could have occurred this weekend, new profile songs, doing this this and this, bamboozle, my birthday, and analogies, and my reputation...

Christine Ohhh: i need someone i wanna kiss lol.
o1shortyo1: NO YOU DONT
Christine Ohhh: hahahahaha
o1shortyo1: your rep is already tarnished by 10/27
o1shortyo1: you just chill for a min
Christine Ohhh: HAHAHAHAHAH
o1shortyo1: i told gb
o1shortyo1: and he goes NOOOooo
o1shortyo1: christine
o1shortyo1: really
Christine Ohhh: hahahahaahahahaha
o1shortyo1: nooo not her
o1shortyo1: shes not like that
o1shortyo1: i said I KNOW
Christine Ohhh: awwwww, i'm glad he thinks so highly of me...
o1shortyo1: and we both shook our heads
Christine Ohhh: well... did lol
o1shortyo1: everyone did

Golly, I didn't know people think/thought so highly of me lol. So now I'll keep that in mind before I hook up with boys at parties lol. Except I cannot be held accountable for anything I do my birthday party weekend, SLEEEEEEEEPOVER!!! hahaha. love it!

So then I worked on the site for a while, post a few bulletins, leave a few comments, and talk to a few people. Bed again at 4. So excited to go home tomorrow. Sick of school this week.

"October Air Reminds Me Of"

Wednesday was the first day in over a year when I could walk outside in the autumn air and not automatically feel overly depressed. Cold weather brings back the most unpleasant feelings usually, so I guess I've grown up, and moved on, and that feels so good.

Today, I woke up, registered for classes, got 3 out of 5 of the classes I want, but filled up my schedule anyway, the way I want it.

Go to class, we watch a really depressing movie about dust storms. Get out of class and I see Jason, so I stop and talk to him and he tells me about his Thanksgiving and how his senile grandmother ran into things and that they had lasagna for dinner instead of turkey haahaha. We end up eating lunch together & I tell him all about my weekend. His friends meet up with him during lunch, but most of them aren't half bad. Lunch on the other hand... ahaha

So get back to my room around 12:45, and I can't remember if I took a nap. Econ was good. I got a C+ on my Econ Exam, which is better than most, and my econ teacher made it a point to say that I'm always paying attention in front of the whole class. No econ next week at all, so who's tryna hang Monday & Wednesday afternoon!?

Ran into Caitlin, and I love that damn girl, because we chatted about how I'm always soo excited for my friends that we don't realize that our friends don't get as excited for us when we're excited lol.

So back from Econ, and Ms. Mo calls me up and we chat for an hour or so before I met up with Tiffanie and Jen for dinner. So dinner was yummy today, steak & potatoes. I love Tiff & her roommate. Chatted about me & Tiff's emo bangs & my weekend haha. MMM, icecream with sprinkles & caramel! Oh yea I'm pretty sure I'm bipolar, and Jen confirmed it lol. I'll look into it lol.

So back to my room and take a nap I think.... Probably talked to Mo, about her and her D's (hahahhahaa) and I got a pretty legit email. (Mind your business).

So after my nap, woke up just in time to go watch Project Runway! Project fucking Runway! Had a bit of an ordeal with the TV, but it all worked out. New ep of PR has MALE FUCKING MODELS! They were beautiful and added a point to my day. Speaking of beautiful... eh, nevermind lol.

So uh, back from PR and talking to Mo of course. Ate too much food for too late at night. I love vitamin water. Visited Dom :D. Got alot of work done. Talked to Alexa until 4AM while watching Nip/Tuck, about our sweeeet ass house and having dance parties in our basement lol, plus 888 and various other Alexa & Christine ridiculousness lol.

Made it to bed by 4, it was a very good day. More probably happened but... I'm done writing about it lol.

Day Overall: 8

"Relax, Stand Back and Watch It Happen"

Woke up today, hopped in the shower. Check my MySpace and I have a message back from Delicious, which already adds a point to my day.

Sent a text to Mo, saying "Mo, we have a problem." So I get online and explain the sitch.

Mo: i would've just said alexa you know how we roll; hush
Me: thts why we're different lol
Mo: haha
Me: and alexa would have taken my expliation over yours
Me: while mandy will take that just fine lol
Mo: hahaha yup

So for people keeping tabs (which I know you are), everything is so good, that's out of the way, and it's still hoes before bros lol. We're working on our famous townhouse now lol.

So fix that, then breakfast time, mmmm, food. Chat with Mo while I make my new myspace layout, it's obnoxiously cute & it's what me & my dream boyfriend would be like in layout form plus holiday themed lol. Oh & like I said before, if we're not friends on myspace, you probably shouldn't be lurking me.

Walked to class with Caitlin, I love her. Media class I get my seat which means it's gonna be a good day. Psych class is okay, talk to Lou online, post a bulletin or two. Dreading math as always, it sucks as always, Greg & Joe hit on Michelle through AIM lol. Answered a questioned right though, yay me!

So walked back to my room with Joe, and took a nap after a bit of texting with Zack, and chatting with Lando. Woke up to an IM window and made sure shit was straight. Then it's dinner time, not as good as yesterday but hey not bad and saw Tiffanie. :D

Back to my room and chat with Mo for a bit, crawl back into bed. Wake up again. Realize I fell asleep and txt Mo. Chat until 12, then remember I wanted late night haha.

So me & Mo are like... the same band but like different CDs. Now because of that we are looking for different types of boys:

Me: none of these boys fit my needs lol.
Mo: different cds
Me: same band different cds hahaa
Mo: yup
Mo: those 3 are all tracks on my disk
Me: i think i'm looking for like the limited edition dvd
Me: sure are lol.
Mo: haha with behind the scnes footage
Me: autographed lol

So my dream boy doesn't exist yet, well in my world, so I'm working on it lol. I found like the hard to find first CD by the band, but it's just not good enough lol.

So finally get off the computer after emailing some people about schedule tomorrow. Grab some vitamin water (someone remind me I don't like fruit punch), and some chicken soup! Warmed up some chicken soup, while I hopped in the shower, came out and ate and watched Nip/Tuck, that is until I see Dom in the hallway being his cute Dom self.

So he gives me one of his awesome hugs, and I hng around his room for a good while like old times. It takes 5 of us to try to play WoW hahaha, not so much, we succeed in beating up birds & dancing lol.

Oh and girl across from Dom who I can't remember mentions Jason, and I'm like OMG He's SOOO cute! She's like he always talks about how awesome he thinks you are and really wants to go to a show with me, and I'm like OHH!! Well then... haha. So we had this discussion in Matt's room, so Matt, Dom, and Nick go on a venture to find Jason, he's asleep sadly lol.

So around 2am, I come back to my room and finish watching Nip/Tuck. Start chatting with Alexa about silly things, like how we should write books, how every one in the world sucks, how infamous our 5 bedroom townhouse would be and...

Me: we're the same person
Me: but you listen to too must indie
Me: and i listen to too much pop punk lol

Then I watch ANTM, and Alexa told me how MTV has their shows online and just made college alittle bit better haha. Thanks again girl!

"Nothing You Say Today Is Gonna Bring Me Down"

Hello!

I'm going to bed early tonight because I can. Going to send out some messages tomorrow & post some bulletins but tonight, it's bed time after homework.

I woke up this morning at 10 smiling, random text message from Mo, "Why is it that whenever someone imitates Lassey, Timmy is always stuck in the well?" HAHAHAHA. wow. So get on AIM and talk to Mo. I took a shower, mmmm shower. Get dressed in my "My Friends Are Stars" shirt, and black hoodies. Go to Environmental Science which is boring as always. At 11:11, I couldn't think of a wish at all because everything is perfect, can't be that selfish haha.

Go to SEB where no one is basically, and have a quick meeting. Sign up to help set up for the Brand New show, yay for a free ticket haha. So, Adam walks in and is like "OMG CHRISTINE DID YOU HEAR WHO DIED!?" and I'm like... "Yea, it's really sad, me & Mo were going to go to that show. He goes "It's so funny!" I was like "OMG ADAM, THAT'S TERRIBLE."

So Caitlin shows up late, and I tell her about my weekend as we walked to the Dining Hall. Cheese Steak for lunch, mmmmmm! Makes up for no cheese steaks still in Philly ahaha. I love Caitlin and we have discussions about the show, the weekend, William & Gabe, and everything else haha. Love her.

Back to my room and add some kids on MySpace before class, I also message Delicious to say hi. Get ready for class then head to Econ. Forgot that Econ was canceled and wasn't upset at all when I walked all the way there, because nothing at all is gonna bring me down, the end.

So back to my room and it's nap time. Up at 6-ish. Nap was glorious. Get a flyer done, and go to dinner, dinner was SOOO good. Roasted chicken, Pot roast, roasted potatoes, pasta, everything was SO good, and I got the last of almost everything because it was 7pm, and then Tiffanie was behind me, and we ate together which is fate because we usually both eat early lol.

So back to my room around 8, write up some blogs. Talk to Steve (boy bff), who I miss alot, and Steph called and I elaborated on the whole sneaking into the Chinese Nsync-like show hahahaaha. 1000 Asians, and us hahahaha. Then Mo called me up so she didn't fall asleep on the way home. Now I'm watching I Love NY, and I'm about to do my homework. Sleep early is so nice lol.

Day Overall: 7

Edit: Before I made it to bed tonight, the last hour was semi-eventful, making phone calls and making sure the kids I like most still like me. I pride myself in my bluntness and honesty. I don't keep secrets, and I don't tell lies. I'm not known to be subtle, but others are. Mind your business, seriously. You know what you need to know.

"Weekend Warriors and Our Best Friends"

SO...

Sunday could have been a 4 and it wouldn't have mattered. It wasn't though! HAHA.

So wake up after an hour of sleep at 5AM. I woke up wide awake in an amazing mood because what's there not to smile about?

Start getting ready, pack shit up, and head out. We have a mini issue trying to find a plastic grocery bag and this time a certain band didn't ruin everything hahahahah.

Walk to the bus station, in line for a bit too long but whatever. We were worried the bus would be packed but it wasn't, and me & Mo even got a seat next to each other this time lol.

Fell asleep on the way home again woke up and remembered how much I love my city, Baltimore is beautiful in the morning.

Mo's daddy picks us up, and drops me off at home. My daddy is all "Are you hear to stay or are you leaving?" I said... "I'm here for the day." So you know I was running on approximently 3 hours of sleep, and I don't know why I thought I'd be able to get some rest. Daddy asked me to do some errands lol.

So grab my bro & take him to the movies, we see Enchanted, which was so ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY AWESOME. (Don't you love alliterations!?) It was so fucking cute and if anyone wants to see it again with me, I'd be more than happy too haha.

So then my mommy picks up my bro and Mo picks me up and we go to the mall to buy Delicious a birthday gift and a small gift for The Audition.

So after searching through the mall, Mo buys D an awesome shirt that says "DO WORK SON" and I buy D two awesome hats. In Hot Topic I see Jesse and say hi, he looks adorable as always and Me, him & Mo chat for a while.

On our way out we see Danny from Chasing Honesty, oh wait, uh... The Autumn Sun, he's growing his hair out and it looks good. Head to Buffalo Wild Wings to see Devin, and say hi to everyone else. I decide that I hate that place, so keep that in mind for any dinner request, kids lol.

So then we go to Target and buy D a card, Mo buys The Audition a 10 pack of sharpies since they don't have any lol, and I buy them a big variety bag of chips since they're stoners lol.

HAHAHA, that reminds me of Saturday night when Dwain asked me and Mo if we smoke and we both said no, and he goes, "Alright Miss I'm Too Good & I'm Too Young" and I was like WOAH!! I have never said I'm too young for anything in my life ever, and Mo's like and I have never said I'm too good for anything.

Anyway, so Mo drops me off at home, my mommy's upset with me because I'm going out again. I get dressed pretty fast & pack my shit up in case I need to get dropped off at school.

So Mo picks me up and we play basically every song that was sung or heard yesterday, minus the songs actually on stage hahahaha. So I call Dwain and I'm like we still good for guest list? He's like yea def. After I get off the phone, I'm like, hm... guess he's manager again haha. So I finish typing my blog on the way up, and we almost die because of a stupid car.

Get up there & park in our usual lot, call up Dwain and he's like yea meet me around back by the buses, I have your passes. So we head over, the line has subsided at this point and we see Dwain, we give him the gifts for the band and he gives us our VIP sticky passes and we come through the back door.

So when we get inside, Nikki & Allie are chilling on the couch so we say hi, Ian shows us how to get to the actual main venue, because we gotta find Alexa & Mandy, and DELICIOUS of course. So we see them cramped up front and it doesn't look very fun, lol.

Head to the back and see Delicious he's all "YOU GUYS CAME!" and we're like of course we did! Why wouldn't we? We start giving gifts, he looooves the shirt, and puts it on immediately, with one of the hats, and puts the card on display on the merch table. He's got an icecream cake that's melting everywhere, so I go hunt down a spoon. No such luck. It was hilarious to hear him scream "SOMEONE GET ME A SPOOOOON!" though aha.

Still manage not to pay any kind of attention during Valencia, but I finally get to see "Space Between" live, which is kinda exciting lol. Valencia still doesn't impress me that much lol.

So we dance around during The Audition and we notice that they boys are using the moves we taught them the night before which was needlesstosay adorable. We stand up front for a song with Alexa & Mandy but I couldn't deal, so we all eventually ended up together lol.

So The Audition has an autograph session, and we go and say hi. One of Valencia's boys BQ (the one who used to be in Capitol Risk) sees me and I get this HUGE smile & a hug and it made me happy lol. He also introduced me to his friend Peter.

So The Audition finishes signing autographs or whatever, and Danny comes out and is talking to Me, Mandy, Alexa & Mo before All Time Low gets off stage and kids notice he's there lol. The Delicious fan club from last night who brought him the cake is talking to Danny and he goes... "Watch out for these girls. They're amazing dancers." Took me a second or two to realize he was talking about me & Mo lol.

So Danny gets caught in the kid cross fire, and I'm not trying to watch BLG again so I head back with BQ & Peter. So we're in the main room with the TV & couches and talking to Shane and his gf plus some of their friends about how BQ & Peter look like brothers, but BQ looks older, because Peter is shorter. Then I'm like yea, the girl I was with today & yesterday is my best friend and she's actually 5 years older than me haha. They're like REALLY!? lol. So good.

So then I go to hang in Valencia's dressing room for a bit, talking to Brendan's gf, and grab a soda. She's all "Who are you here with?" and I explain how I actually know every band on the tour in a way lol. Then she asks me if I was going to Canada the next day to which I said "FUCK NO." lol.

So Rian from ATL walks past and comes in, he's all HEYY! He had already seen me today but I guess it' different when I'm chilling in someones dressing room lol. So he's all, "How are you? Did you see the show? Wait, of course you didn't, you don't even like our CD." I'm like ahahaha, "Yes I did see your set and danced around." It makes me feel good that they care about my opinion ahaha, and I'm like "I don't hate the CD." "Wait you like "Stay Awake" don't you?" "Yes, love it because of 'You Ain't The Only Ones Who Wanna Live It Up!' Basically, I like tracks 6 through 10, the end lol." "You don't like 'Poppin' Champaigne?'" "Ew. No." "Pssh, Whatever." Hahahaha. Love it. Then I tell Rian how I embarrassed myself the night before haha. SO GOOD.

Oh and I got the cutest text message from Jeff Henley that said "miss youuuuuuuuuuu."

So Rian leaves, and me & Brendan's gf are talking about how I grew up listening to All Time Low. Then Brendan's rolls back in and I ask when The Audition's room is. So I head over there. Rooms full with the whole band. I walk in and blonde girl I see bus hopping all the time is all "OMG I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE" and that wouldn't have been that bad if she didn't say it everytime I see her, obviously we know the same people.

I finally find out her name is Jen while sitting next to her in the room. Everyone's chatting and making fun of Jen which is hilarious, they basically find 50 ways to call her slutty lol. They're all snacking on the chips I bought and say thanks. Danny's all "last night was awesome" I'm like, "I know right!?" Me & Tim start some appropraite shit talking haha "What are you doing?" "Sitting here." "Get out of my dressing room." "Fuck You. I'm still here ain't I?!" Then he laughs and is like haha, yea that's true. Sup girl?! hahahaha.

So everyone heads out to go to various locations and Joey puts his arm around me and is all "Hey girl. Did you see me out on stage I was moving" It was so cute, I was like Yea I saw I was like yea, that's my boy!

So I go back out and talk to Nikki & Allie for a while, while watching BLG kinda. Go out and meet back up with Mo, Mandy & Alexa. Me & Mo explain to Mandy why "Thunder" would not be our first song at our reception, and Alexa is overly excited for "The Great Escape" lol.

Oh... I kinda wish I would have bought a House of Blues shirt, if I would have known how awesome that night was gonna be lol.

But yea, after they're done me & Mo go to say bye to Delicious, but I make my way over to Joey while we wait lol. I give him a little back rub while he complains. "Why didn't you get me the shirt you got Delicious?!" "Because his birthday is soon, and we've known him longer." "Tell him to give it to me." "Good luck with that." We say bye to him since we can't stay and hang even though the boys are chilling in Philly for the night. Take some pics with Joey. Joey explains to Mo how he used the dance moves we showed him haha.

Turn around and say bye to Danny, pics together and he's all, next time we're in town we're gonna hang, and do this & this & this. 'This' being three different dance moves hahaa. I'm like hahaha okay, boy, def. Text Dwain tryna say bye but he's doing his job haha.

Say goodbye to Jack who's surrounded by girls, then finally say bye to Delicious. We're like aw, can't wait to see you next time, we're gonna miss you! Took pics, gave hugs. Tells us to be safe. We're walking out and he's telling people "Those are my girls!"

So we go around to the back and security is being retarded and yelling at kids, I'm not tryna talk to All Time Low, so we go around the fence to say bye to Alexa & Mandy. They're with JD I believe and he's like "Thanks so much for hanging out." "Thank you for letting us hang out!" So Mandy and Alexa head to their car, and we head to our car. Mandy & Alexa are supposed to go grab cheese steaks with The Audition (or as their dressing room said "The Audizzle" lol).

So ride home is good, not as tired as we usually are coming home. Get home at exactly 1, and post the blog for Saturday. Then get online & talk to Mo. Her combination of telling me D texted her back right away when she told him we got home alright, and finding out the initial set list for Bamboozle added the last point to the day and made it another ten.

I don't even know what could top this weekend, seriously. I'm glad I had my first ten day and my second, and I couldn't have wished for a better weekend, and I'm glad it was with Mo. Trust me on this absolutely nothing could get me down for at least a week, not when you've got good friends all over the country.

Day Overall: 10!!!
Weekend Overall: 10!!!

"Getting Drunk, Acting Stupid With My Best Friends"

So it's 1AM? And I'm grinding all up on assorted members of Boys Like Girls & The Audition in a private room at The Showboat Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. What'd you do last night?

Okay, now that I've got your attention, let me start from the beginning. So I woke up at 9AM, or so. Got on AIM as always, and Josh Davis IMed me, I have absolutely no opposition to cute boys with talent talking to me so we chatted it up for a while, hopped in the shower. Then Mo came with he daddy to pick me up.

So get to the bus terminal, grab some fooooood, I havent' had KFC in a while... Get on the bus, me & Mo were behind each other, and I fell asleep basically the whole ride. Hop of the bus and trek for a while to HOJO!! That's Howard Johnson for you kids who don't know lol. Hotel's not bad at all besides thier internet being very iffy. hang out for a while, watch the first half of Superman, then head out to the show.

So we get down the boardwalk and into Showboat. We wander around the hotel for a while & Mo feels old compared to the kids going to the show, hell, I even felt old. Lounge singer was awesome though ahhaa. Was playing "Mandy" and Mandy, when you or Alexa read this (to you), I was gonna call you but then I remembered you hate the show hahaha.

So we find a little sandwich shop and get Nathan's hotdogs! Mmm. :D So head back over to the venue, and I couldn't bring ATL's gift in because it was food, so I called Alex and get him to come out. I felt bad because he probably got trampled by kids trying to get to him sine he had to come out the main door. Alex looked taller, Matt looked hotter... Hand him thier Rice Krispie Treats, then finally head in.

Inside we head straight to the mech tables to see the boy we traveled 300 miles to see! DELICIOUS, kids, DELICIOUS! Ya'll don't know about that AT ALL. We see our boy and he looks excited to see us, and you all know I love when boys are excited to see me lol. He was a having a bad day and we cheered him up a bit.

So we hand around and meet his friend Yvonne, I was iffy about her for the first 2 hours of the show, but I started to warm up to her after that. The Audition was a good time, danced around as always because that's how we do. Kept up the trend of never seeing Valencia play haha. Even though those are some cute boys lol. I had a good time listenign to All Time Low, and even better time when i remembered I don't like the headlining band so I have to have alot of fun during ATL. Got stares as always.

Boys Like Girls is on stage so I'm like Andy, what you kids doing tonight? He's all, goign straight to Philly, I don't even get to gamble. I'm like OHH, that's not fun, WORK ON THAT. ahah. So sing along to the BLG songs I do know, which i almost always. Best part of the set was their "Buy You A Drink" mini-cover & their Frou Frou "Let Go" cover, I'm just saying... Andy (oh, that'd Delicious's real name) was SALTYYYY at BLG, the tour, the situation, the venue, Valencia, and EVERYONE else, that is... except us and I can get down with that haha.

End of the show they're shoving everyone out, D lets us behind the merch table, one of the security guards was very nice to us haha. OH THEN... Some girls goes up to D and she's like "Who's merch do you do?" "Valencia's." "Oh... they didn't show up tonight did they?" "That is THE dumbest question I have ever heard." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You don't even KNOW how hard I laughed, right in the girls face. Then I told Tim from The Auditon the story because he wanted to know why Me & eventually Mo when i told her, were laughing so hard. They were attempting to sign autographs, too bad they don't have sharpies haha. So I'm tossing around my sharpies because that'd how I do. While we steadily watch the crowd disappate. Martin & Alex are both escorted out by security at seperate times, which was intense haha.

So D & Shane from Valencia get into this ridic fight, and I was like woahhhh, I'm just gonna stand over here and not talk. Shane seemed like a douche though, but I don't know him that well to make that conclusion. I did decide the ugly frizzy red head is a bitch though. So we help D finish packing up, and people unloaded some shit. Talked it up with one of the kids who was in Capitol Risk because everyone kept grabbing at the copies of Scene Trash I gave D.

So D finds out he's got an hour to hang so we're like okay cool that's better than nothing. So head outside to the van and we're waiting for D to put his shit away so I go over to talk to Alex, like there's not 20 girls around him. "Mr. Gaskarth, just wanted to say good bye in case I don't see you again tonight." People are looking at me, like bitch who do you think you are? And I'm like psssh, anyway, so I'm like oh but we've got a hotel room tonightif you kids wanna come chill. He's like oh we're sleeping on the bus but we might come hang out, and I'm like cool with me. Just hit me up later.

So Delicious runs over in classic Delicious fashion, and is all IS ALEX SINGING ACOUSTIC!? So then Alex starts walking in the directon of the transportation, and I'm like Who's bus is that? Then Alex opens the door, and I went OHHHHHHHH SHIT! That's All Time Low's bus. I dunno, I jut forgot that they were at bus level lol. It blows my mind that kids know who they are half the time.

So Jack comes out of the bus and gives me the WTF are you doing here look? And I go heyyy you, cool kids come to NJ for shows, how you doing kid? Then he tells me about a show he's gonna be at and asks if I'll be there also. (Can't go dropping shit like that online). I ask him if he got the Rice Krispies and find out Alex didn't bother to tell the band where it came from lol. Delicisous has some fan girls outside, which was quite odd.

So Alex comes out with the acoustic and he says, Jack do you remember how to play Circles, and I revert back to my 14 year old days and go OMG I KNOW ALL THE WORDS. Then go, oh wow... I sucks sometimes lol. Alex starts playing "Circles" then doesn't remember it anymore. But he got like a verse done, so hat already upped the day by a point, I thought I'd never hear the song again period. He stated playing Jasey rae acoustic, which you can hear on a damn CD per stupid bitches request, and D calls us over it's time to EAT!

So we go trecking through the back halls of the Showboat casino with Delicious and a few of his friends, that probably hate me & Mo. So after getting all kinds of lost someone takes us their and we eat some yummy cateered food. Reminds me of Warped Tour, but it's buffet style & you serve yourself. We had an ordeal about being to close to an open door & moving. Andrew's girls didn't want to move with. Whatever. So Andy tries to get them to come over, not so much. They prob hate me because I kept laughing when D called them Chicken Heads and said he hated them lol. Have some great disussion about some classic 90s hip hop, then Andy says it's time to go. "Who takes care of you!?" You do, of course! Hahah.

Girls don't come with, we head up to the Funtain Room to meet up with the rest of Valencia. There's some chaos going on with that so we meet Nikki & Allie. I like them, they're nice and pretty adorable haha. The actual room is 21+ so we send Mo in to check it out while we're in we havea dance party to "I WANT THAT OLD TIME ROCK N ROLL" playing from downstairs.

So after the whole ordeal with Valencia is solved, Andy comes back up and he's like let's go in. So I'm likehey okay lol. Wasn't carded and we head on in. Inside is basically the whole tour sans Valencia. Everyone's sitting arond and I'm like Oh, psssh. So me & Mo do our thing and start dancing. Everyone looks at us at firct then the boys join in. Girls are looking at us like ehh. HAHA, whatever. We can make enemies in any city...

So we're dancing, one of my faorite quotes is from The Audition's manager "Where's your boyfriend?" "I don't have one" "Well you could have about 5 in this room right now." Oh I am soo down for cute talented boys compliementing me haha. So me & Mo are working the whole room basically. I even get Martin from BLG to do his pitiful white boy dancing for a while. Danny's looking adorable and me & Mo have him in a sandwhich, then I'm like yo Danny, tomorrow's show, Philly tomorrow, is your guest list full? Yea, wait wait, no. haha, tell our boy, points to manager Dwain and says tell him one of your names plus one. So I'm like hey okay. So he's sitting there and I'm like hey can we get on the guest list for tomorrow. He goes "What are you gonna do to get it?" And i just smile, Dwain's all, "come on, I haven't seen a sista in a while" I'm like "Where the fuck have you been playing?" He's like "Well I have, but they don't come to our shows." I'm like "Oh well they sure don't" lol. Then Joey grabs me off of Dwain's lap... and puts me on his, he's like Oh Dwain, this is about my band! So I'm like okay, let's try this again. Can we get on the guest list tomorrow. "what are you gonna do for it? Can you teach us not to look stupid on stage." "Yes. Yes. I can do that."

So we get up and I grab him by the waist and show him how to move his hips. After a little schooling he was doing good. I have this theory that band boys have sex the same way they play their instruments...

So I hear, "Hey Hey! I wanna dance with the black girls!" HAHAH LOVE IT! So I'm ginding on somebody or another. Joey & Dwain are sitting down just watching me. (No, I'm not being concieted, they told me they just wanna sit and watch the show, being me...) ahaha. Mo's talking to Bryan from Boys Like Girls and we refresh him memory about a month ago at Rams Head haha. He remembers us, and mentions Michelle, and how he tried to get us upstairs at that show but not so much ahah.

Danny's all "you know these white girls in here can't dance." And he insists on proving that he can dance and the boy sure can. He could prove it to me all he wants haha. I was busy with Dwain & Joey basically fighting over me so Mo took care of Danny haha. Joey calls Dwain out about not being for legit Detroit, like I'm tryna date a thug or something lmao. But it was cute that he was trying to make him look bad haha. ATL was in there too, I did the nod of association/aknowledgement lol. Oh & I called out Tim about sitting around being boring.

So after me & Mo are done bringing some live into this place, they turn the lights on, that means get the fuck out if you didn't know. hahaa. So we all hang around some more, exchange numbers for tomorrow. So we finally head out when they literally tell us to "vamos" lmao. Then Joey & Mo burst into Enriques Inglaias. "BAILAMOS!" Then Alex is leading the pack. There's a random concert with like Asian boys but like Nsync... This entourage of like 30 people are all tryna get in. They wouldn't let us in. So Alex leads us into the back hallways where we sneak into this show. No when I say sneak, I mean like... open side door and go inside literally. I go "I'm not used to me & and everyone I'm with being the minority in a place." It got a few laughs haha. So we sway back & forth to the slow song, security doesn't notice us, or guess they assumed we belonged haha. At this point, I'm like Mo, how the fuck are we going to explain this night to everyone else, because this is all kinds of silly lol.

So Dwain says it's time to leave, after getting all protective when I was texting Delicious haha. I dunno... More wondering through back hallways back to the buses. This time it's accompanied with random wooooos and YEAAAAA! I couldn't help to join in, I got caught up in the drunken fun ahha. Get outside and Dwain's tryna holla, like hardcore & I'm like oh I'm not at that level yet. Which really means it's not that late yet. Dwain's all, is it because I'm white in so many words, and I'm like HA, I've never dated a black boy nor have I kissed one. Then Mo's like OH, we'll have to work on that. So Delicious pops up out of no where like he's great at doing. So then we lose Dwain for a split and me & Joey start dancing outside to no music, and someone who has a bunk on a bus goes, OHH well you can borrow my bunk if you want. Joey's like "promise? I mean I've got a backpack filled with condoms." I'm like WOW! I don't know if I have that much time, nor energy lol. Which reminds me of Dwain telling me earlier that he could keep me up all night. Randomly hop on ATL's bus for a split sec. Watch this dumb blonde get passed around bands. Whatevs. So we lose Delicious again and, find Dwain and since Joey was adement on eating, it was time to consume more food.

So go back to cateering and me & Mo were both sufficiently full, so we just grab some icecream, instead. Dwain gets all kinds of random foods becayse hey free buffet... Everyone kept asking him what he was eating, and each time it was funnier. I can't explain, you had to be there...

Dumb cleaning lady is all HELLLOOO because me & Mo left our plates for a sec so we, well I could get a slushie! :D Sooo everyone was sufficently full. We headed out, getting semi lost. Joey tries to play with the big buffer, and I scream "Stop It" like his mother, which reminds me of earlier in the night when i told Danny it was a bad idea to pee in the hallways. So we hang for a while then hop in The Audition's van, because they said they'd drive us back to our hotel. So we're all yea, we're going to the HOJO!! Tim's like who the fuck is hojo, and Mo's like Howard Johnson, then he's like oh... that makes sense haha. So the lady that works for House of Blues comes up to the van and is like "I know ya'll ain't smoking weed in here?" and they're like "No, but do you want some?" She's like no, I'm okay. Danny chimes in on the other side of the van, not even in it and goes "I'm high!" Then she checks to make sure someone sober is driving.

Some great discussions were had in the van about the most random shit ever while simultaneously listening to the band argue with Dwain, if you weren't keeping up, he is their tour manager. Yea, he quit, but evidently he's done that 6 out of the 8 weeks of tour so it's not that serious. hahaha, well that's what I decided, so I went back to talking nonsense in the back of the van with the rest of the boys lol. So Danny decided to chill with ATL for the night. Never found Delicious, but we'll see him Sunday so it's cool. Um, Dwain refused to get in the van so dunno what happened with that, ahaha. Then we saw the boardwalk because we told the boys the wrong way, I thought they were tempted to go play lol. But, the boys dropped us off at our hotel, well about 2 blocks away but it's better than what the full walk is haha. Get back to the room and it's bed time after watching an ep of Tila. Alarm set for5AM. Mo's phone worked enough or her to set her alarm, it really wasn't trying to work all night basically, and it's usually me with the fucked up phone lol.

This day was no doubt a 10, could have been an 11 if I wanted to pull a Spinal Tap, and I didn't have to look sluttly, or kiss a damn person to have fun haha. Me & Mo go ar being cute and being able to dance, hahaha. Oh and if tonight's a 10 too, I'm gonna be happy for weeks lol.

Day Overall: 10!!!

"So Save Your breath And The Money You Spent Go Work In Retail"

We're not going to talk about Friday much because it was just obnoxious, and I'm in too good of mood to talk about a bad day.

Friday I woke up at 5:19, supposed to be at work at 5:30. Get dressed in 6 minutes. Work by 5:33, go me! ahah. Daddy dropped me off because my mommy thought I was going to hit someone lol.

Work sucks so hard, seven hours. Mo came to visit and I went on a stroller hunt while walking around with her. Tameka does tell me she can cover my shift so that rocks. I get sent on all kinda of errands because I'm the baby lol. Geo visits me at 9:30 and I like seeing his face.

So then off work, Daddy picks me up. Printer works without a problem, thank God. Print the new issue, then head to Office Depot to make copies. Call up Stephani then got gas and drove home. Steph came over & helped me staple. Then we went to Walmart, bought gifts for Paramore.

Get dressed, Mo comes. Get to the show, Michelle had been waiting. End up with two extra tickets to a sold out show. Eat at McDonalds then inside. Interview with The Starting Line goes well. Finally have been in all three green rooms at Rams Head. Walk out & Mo and Eboy are watching The Discovery Channel with The Almost haha. Michelle chills back stage. I ask her to hold my bag until I get to see Paramore.

The how was a good time, more excited to see The Starting Line than Paramore, def. Dance all around with Mo & Ebony and sing obnoxiously with Bridgette & Sara lol.

So after the show I call Michelle, she left of course, and left my bag in TSL's dressing room. Call up their manager, he's not around, no one knows where it is. Sadly my notebook was in it, and I love my little notebook.

So I'm used to seeing Paramore only every other time I actually see them live, but at the time I was just bitter over my notebook lol. I'll catch Paramore next time their in town and we'll chat, it's not that serious lol.

So home around midnight, then bed because we had to leave in the morning and I wanted to get some rest, plus I was cranky & tired from being up at 5AM lol.

Day Overall: 4

THANKSGIVING...

sucks. I could end this blog there.

Woke up. Took a shower. Cooked, cooked some more. More cooking. More cooking. Passed out on the couch. Relatives came, went upstairs to sleep.

Woke up decided not to get out of bed, so chilled on the computer til my stomach was like bitch get the fuck up and eat. Little kids running all around, hate holidays.

More relatives, people telling me how big I am and asking about school like they care. They finally left.

Stephani came over to hang out for a while. Watched silly reality shows on TV. Then I tried to print out the magazine, found out I had a virus on my computer, fucking AWESOME. Yea, supposed to print on Friday after work. Eh.... I hate the holidays. I also hate my computer sometimes. Whatever, gave up trying after almost crying and because I had be be up at 4:30 for work.

"I Don't Miss Last November"

SO Wednesday, I woke up and felt like the only person left in my building, especially when 5PM rolled around. I bitched all day basically, because everyone in the world sucks sometimes, and don't know how to use damn apostrophes. I had two classes, skipped one. Went to Econ because I like that class, there was like no one there. My con teacher likes me and refers to me as "the libertarian" hahah.

Oh yea I forgot to mention at the Local Highrise show, me, Steph, Justin & Bagel sat in Bagel's car listening to John Mayer. This was hilarious because, the second John came on, I stopped talking. Steph kept talking and everyone including me went shhhhhhhh! Then the one song where he hits the consecutive high notes and Justin goes "Christine take this!" And I sing the part, and Steph is looking like... wtf? Guess she doesn't listen to John that much lol.

Anyway back to Wednesday, spent the day talking to Mo and feeling bad for her because work sucks. Ended up not napping waiting on people to send me articles because like I said everyone sucks. Looking through old BR pics made me all nostalgic, and reminded me how attractive James Larson was when he was 16 lol, and besides Alex Gaskarth everyone looks sufficiently awkward when they were younger lol.

Had some lunch, Mo says I eat too fast, but it's because I eat by myself usually, so I'm just trying to consume food & leave.

So daddy came to get me around 5, and I didn't eat dinner. I did pack up two bags, one for the trip & one for home. Wish I had eaten when we stopped at Giant and it took 45 minutes for daddy to get something for mommy. Stopped and got pizza from Dominos. I really wanted McDondalds so that was a downer a bit.

Chill around my house and watch reality TV. Everyone's asleep or gone, so I get my hopes up and think hey maybe we won't cook tonight. Not to much. My mommy wakes up and we cook hal of T-day Dinner. Can't go to print the magazine because my daddy took the car and i had to help cook.

Went to bed semi-early. Still hate Thanksgiving.

Day Overall: 6 (Because it was amazingly nice out)

"Cross Your Fingers, And Hope He Doesn't Wait Up For You"

Tuesday, woke up and ate breakfast because I was trying to get rid of as many meals as possible. So then Media class which wasn't that bad. I'm pretty sure I got my seat which means a good day haha. Did some group work I believe, so I got out early and worked on the new issue a bit before my Psych exam.

Psych exam wasn't too bad, i got two of the three things on the extra credit. I ended up getting exactly the class average so yay for that lol. Math exam... Yea, it was easier than I thought so I probably didn't know what I was doing, but before the how I did get to have a bunch of boys try to help me understand and it was nice getting the attention lol. So the solution to me probably failing my test was buying a pint of icecream. Seemed like an amazing idea. I ate half a pint of icecream, not such a good idea actually... I also consumed 500 calories which is also a bad idea lol.

Oh yea, stupid kids running around the halls at 1am is what happened Monday night, and I don't understand how people can be that immature seriously. Whatever.

I called Mo while she was on the way home because she got stuck in silly traffic. Once I got off the phone with her, I took a nap. Naps are so fucking good. Woke up around 8:30 and got something from The Spot. Watched some videos, miss some kids, looked for a new MySpace layout... not so much, well mostly because I can't think of a new about me yet haha. It'll come to me.

Mo ended up until 1 talking to me and doing silly things instead of going to bed lol. We tried to figure out who Eric was and looked at past AIM convos and I said I like us, and if I was reading convos with two kids, and they were saying this, I'd want to be their friends. I also talked to this one boy...

Him: Supgurll
Me: eating a hot pocket & drinking vitamin water.
Me: sup with you, cutie?
Him: Mm
Me: come visit me!
Him: ---gives away too much info---
Me: of course you are lol
Him: Lol
Me: one day thats gonna work lol.
Him: One day what's gonna work?
Me: i'm gonna say come visit me! and you're gonna say
Me: sure.
Him: Aha
Him: It has beforeee
Me: not true.
Me: you've said
Me: can i come over? and i've said sure.
Him: Isn't that better than demanding and receiving?
Me: no! because i want to see you lol.
Him: Ahah!

In response to this Mo says...
Mo: no! not when your christine oh
Me: that was cheesy
Mo: you rather get when you ask
Mo: didn't mean it cheesy
Mo: like the deadline
Mo: you rather got em when you needed em
Mo: not just oh hey here's this
Mo: or your car
Me: YES!

That's why she's my best friend hah. Well anyway, he didn't come visit me haha. But I do wear my emotions on my sleeve if you haven't noticed yet so if you ever want to know how I'm feeling, shouldn't be too hard to figure it out haha. Finally showed Mo a pic of him. (You don't have any idea so don't even try to guess, see, she hasn't even met him). He actually reminds me of Mo a bit in temperament especially, mostly because he's the opposite of me in almost every way lol. Everything isn't a big deal to him and with me... well you know haha.

Anyway, after helping Mo be sketchy (oh yea Mo I found him a much easier way than what you went through after yu went to bed haha), I got super excited for Saturday and DELICIOUS! Ya'll don't know about that either lol.

Oh yea, I made Britney's day better which added a point to my day. I love when I can make people feel better. :)

Then I was a bit upset at how things are taking toooo long! I mean they're going in the right direction but they're taking far too long haha. Just wanna speed things up by about 3 years? Looking at pictures and going wtf why aren't we best friends with these kids yet?! Whatevs. Remind me & Mo to do six degrees of separation with our friends haha. Mo finally got off the computer around 1:30 after saying she was 2 hours prior haha.

Think I worked on the magazine for a while after that. Stayed up a bit til around 3:30 in case... Ashley left for Thanksgiving break around that time and I hazily said goodnight.

"And It's Short Just Like Your Temper"

I had no motivation of getting up for class again as usual. I think it might have been nice out so it made up for. Science class was boring as always, then I went to SEB. We talked about the Battle of the Bands, and everything. Then I chatted with Caitlin, showed her pics from the SWGT, and this pic, that reminds me of Tony from Summer So Far... hahahhahaha.

So me & Caitlin go to lunch and I hit a plate against a glass covering and chipped the glass. Then I ran away lol. So good. I love Caitlin, lunch was good. can't remember what I did after lunch but I'm pretty sure I didn't take a nap, I also remember studying for about 20 minutes tops, I think I looked for hotels online for Mo.

Econ exam wasn't too bad, pulled out some sweet algebra skills for one answers. I think I ate after the test, can't remember. Back to my room and I call all the bands playing Saturday's show to check for available tickets because... it's my job. Get online and discuss hotels with Monique.

Then I find out info about a tour I'd been waiting to find out about! Trying to work something out for that right now, we'll see how that goes. Then I started doing my Psych homework. Mo stayed up with me a bit while searched this site & their merch. Love it!

Finally finished around 1:30. I didn't mind to much though besides being tired. I really like Psych and the labs are fun. I realized I have a Type A personality. But not THAT intense, but still, it makes me me. I also may have heart disease from it eventually, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it hahaa.

"My Mother Says To Get A Job, But She Don't Like The One She's Got"

I woke up (in my on bed!) and my daddy got us McDondald's breakfast! Then my mommy took me shoe shopping! I sure do love shoes. So I bought a pair of adorable ones. Ask me to see them! They're from Ross. Then we have to rush home because our basement flooded... again ahah. I keep breaking the washer? I dunno. Oh, Steph called me and she informed me of her time Saturday night... silly Stephani, she requires adult supervision at all time, and when I say adult I mean Me or Mo. I mean I do dumb things sometimes, but Steph... ahahaha.

So get home, help clean up water. Help my daddy grade some papers then get to work. Work's not bad because I'm buy myself and comfortable until 6 when my boss & Jen shows up and that stupid Festival of Giving starts... Basically the mall stays open until 9 instead of 7 on a Sunday so that soccer moms and their bratty kids can do extra shopping and get fundraisier money for their kids school. It was all very obnoxious, and I didn't realize I had to work the stupid even until... I was working it haha. It was so hectic and annoying, and put me in a shitty mood.

Didn't get of there until almost 10, had to drive home in the dark & rain while being tired, I was so scared. Made it home okay though. Oh and I wore my new shoes, so they weren't broke in yet because I usually don't stand much at work. Yea, not a good idea. I think I went to bed after, maybe not. I know I didn't talk to Mo, so whatever I did it probably didn't involve my computer.

"I Guess We're Set For Motion With Productivity"

It's amazing how one day can suck so much and just by closing your eyes for a few hours the next day can be so much better. Or maybe thats the just the optimist coming out in my pessimism, who knows haha. This is not to say Saturday was substantially better than Friday, it's just an observation I noticed.

I woke up in my own bed which I haven't been doing alot. My mommy actually woke me up. Went to work. Geo stopped by and visited me during his break & in the morning. I miss him hanging around my house til 2am. So get off work at 12:45 after selling 2000 dollars worth of gift cards. My mommy picks me up and even buys me food! haha.

Because of timing issues I couldn't go visit Mo & make her lunch like I planned, and I ended up not even going to my great aunt's funeral. Get home & consume some food. Make a trip to Stephani's house to pick up my bags I left there Friday night. I hang out for a while & she reads my blog, which as most read was a good time haha.

I get back to my house and start watching an America's Next Top Model marathon like I have every weekend haha. Around six I venture to the mall to say hi to The Hint and buy a pair of new shoes with Monique. I promised my brother I'd bring him home a cinnamon bun.

So the radio is playing awesome 90's music. So I drive to the mall, fast evidently, lol. I say hi to everyone at the food court. We part ways and i start to search for a pair of black flats I like. After about 5 stores, Devin fails to understand the subtle differences in the 10 pairs of flats I had tried on in the last hour haha. So we give up and part ways. I forget my brother's cinnamon bun :(

So I stop by Office Depot and do a tiny reprint of the All Time Low issue. Mailed out two last night, so I have 5 left. if you want one, let me know ASAP. So I go through the DQ drive thru & I only hit the curb once haha. Then since I was in the immediate area I stopped by to tell Stephani I love her haha. Went home, gave mybrohis ice cream then watched a movie or two.

I wasn't allowed to leave until my rents got home so I took a nap. I didn't think my rents would be back before Steph's normal curfew so I wasn't sure if I'd be able to go or not, I didn't know Steph wasn't planning on coming home hah. So I wake up around 2:30, and text Mo & Steph. Stephani is incapable of texting haha, but Mo texts me back and tells me I wasn't missing much.

So I stay up for a while & get some work done for the magazine, Monique keeps me company for an hour online and tells me about the cute boy she met which happens to be a boy in a semi-random band that's always kinda been around lol. So I end up back to bed after watching a few movies on TV around 5:30 or so? Maybe later.

Overall super productive day, even though my fucking paycheck didn't come! And I got to see the Hint & I got to see mo and I missed her and I helpedm y brother, and i didn't get in trouble for leaving, SO it was a good day!

"And I'll Wait For The Winter To Come"

So today...

We learn in Psych this term about when you think something bad will happen, it usually does. Yea, that's me. I'm almost positive I'mbipolar but on a day to day basis. I'm always either very happy or very sad. There's not really an in between for me. My response to "how are you?" is never "fine" or "okay" it's... "super dooper!" or "oh, I'm having a shitty day." Sometimes it's both, ask Lando haha...

But the point of this is, I was pretty much certain the day was going to be absolutely terrible, in addition to the weekend. This started Thursday when I sent the longest text message I've ever sent, to none other than Monique ahaha. In addition to complaints about how much Thursday sucked I started my preliminary complaints about how much Friday was gonna suck.

Here they were: Josh isn't going to send the cover photo, Steph is going to pick me up late, the show is gonna suck, I won't have any plans for the night, everyone's gonna miss their deadline, I have to see a certain boy with his girlfriend. Of course all these things occured like I said they would, but by around 2pm, I had accepted that they were all going to happen and I just got over it.

Skipped the movie in sceience because it was nice out and I wanted to look at the pretty weather instead of being in it. Get up for lunch. There wasn nothing I really wanted. I complained to Mo for a while. I play the Sums for a while and watch TV while I pack. Steph ends up picking me up 3 hours past the initial time and an hour past the time she told me when I called because of her daddy. But I had already anticipated that.

Unfortunetely now I need to make time to go make copies and go to the bank, but it's whatever. So anyway, we stop at Wendy's to Stephani can consume food, then back to her house where she eats and I change. After getting the third degree from Steph's daddy we head to the venue.

Of course it's chaos, like my life. The venue is sketchy as hell but I like it haha. Too bad it's freezing because there's no heat. I like it though, me, Steph & Michelle make the best of it. Lou cut his hair. It's a blonde mohawk... No, seriously. Steph said the best thing in the history of ever but I can't repeat that. Silliness ensues, tons of people not ebing able to find it. Random Taco Bell trip with Mir & the Moon. Sitting in Adam's mom's mini van with The Carbon Kin while they drink cheap vodka hah. The kids working were not very nice to us, but it's whatever, we took myspace pics against the grafitti walls.

End up paying for Josh, Alex, and Steph to get in. Listened to Kevin give his girlfriend terrible directions. Randomo hugs, random whispers, random stories. Stage five clinger & OMG. Mir & The Moon dance party. Spin Spin Spin! Fog machines are pretty sweet. For the record, Kevin is terrified of Baltimore City and black people ahahahahah. I like that Mir played an extra 10 minutes after being the band that didn't want to play at all. Kevin loooooves Mir & the Moon now. I love Kevin and his adorable awkwardness. Adam & Zack were a great time as well. Greg was MIA after their set haha. Oh & Steph might have foudn the boy of her dreams hahahaha. Oh shit, I should tell Geo that story lol....

Oh yea, some crazies showed up. Zack tried to talk to Kevin about it. It kind of worked. Zack got really into video taping haha. I love TCK because they can have fun in absolutely any situation. Oh, Michelle ditched us with Alex & Josh to go to Fletchers. i was texting Alex back and forth for a bit and I got the best text of the day "I love mixed soft serve" hahahahah. SO GOOD!

Oh for any band boys reading, I like bubbles and fog almost as much as confetti & fire! hahaha. Oh yea, Steph has forbidden me from liking Lando anymore hahah. Oh anyother great quote of the night was "You know, I really am a local band slut, just no one knows it. I'm a closet band slut." "Oh hunny, you're not a closet slut. There's no closest." hahahahaha, I love Steph and saying things like that. Although after we counted it up the amount of band boys/boys affiliated with bands I've "talked to" or kissed in the last year, surpasses Steph's. However, the amount of boys Steph has actually hooked up with in bands/affiliated to bands in the last year surpasses me.But because Steph goes for the boys in the biggest bands in Baltimore, my small endevours go unnoticed lol. Bagel did notice how I love drummers hahahah. "I just found out like three days ago. Justin calls me and is like 'dude I think my brother hooked up with Christine'. Wow.

Oh yea, Bagel's lecture at Taco Bell was epic haha. End of the show I was singing Dashboard to everyone. gave our hugs and headed out. Steph almosts gets into this ridic accident. OMG I was so scared haha. It was only 10:30 and people were driving like complete idiots already. Get home around 11 and get all my homework in by 12 like I'm supposed to. We're going to Disney World in December but I'll be back for Armor For Sleep! I'm SO excited :D! So then I went to bed, I was SOOO tired. Texted Mo & Lou.

The day sucked, but after I stopped caring it didn't really matter much anymore.

I have a feeling winter is going to be interesting this year...

Day Overall: 6

"And It's All Downhill from Here"

Basically...

Today sucked so hard. I woke up, went outside. It's pouring, I forgot to put on my big girl socks so my poor feet were sooo cold. I had to sit in the crappiest seat ever in Media class because of that stupid bitch who keeps stealing my seat. We have a silly topic for our group project.

Before psych the stupid vending machines just were NOT trying to cooperate!

Psych we talked about stress and it reminded me how I'm probably gonna drop dead before I'm 30. So then I remembered I left my notebook in my room and had to go all the way back in the cold to go get it and miss 20 minutes of class. Finally put on socks.

Back to class and try to finish up my calc homework, Find out stupid information, and at this point I really need a hug. So calculus, I still don't understand a damn thing. Meeting with the advisor brightens my day a bit, we discuss how it's totally possible for me to be a drumming lead singer haha.

Back to my room, visit Dom. Take a nap. Yummy dinner. Do somethings online for a bit, talk to Mo. More napping. Up at 1:30, interviewed Steve (not bff) for his segment. Editted it. Now I'm gonna take a shower & play the Sims because I forgot that I can actually have fun. Magazine's kind of almost done. Going to breakfast at 7 then back to bed. So really to me, it's not Friday yet.

For the record, I'm gonna call it now and say tomorrow is gonna suck so hard, and I'm gonna be in a terrible mood, and everyone is gonna piss me off.

Day Overall: 4

"My Friends Are A Different Breed. My Friends Are Everything"

For the record...

I love my best friend. I know I say that a lot but I always mean it, because no one believes in me as much as she does. I don't even believe in myself as much as she does. She told me to listen to this song because it reminds her of me. Here are the lyrics and I uploaded it, so everyone could see how amazing my best friend is:



Sometimes I worry that she'll stop liking me, and I don't even know where I'd be without her, and I feel lucky that she even wants to be my friend, some days, because some days I really think I suck ha.

On a completely different note, I'm going to finish the magazine significantly early for the first time... ever haha. Just the idea of that adds a point to my day. New issues gonna be cute and Christmas-y :D! Oh & sup issue FIFTEEN!? My god...

Oh and Project Runway today! Christian is my new gay designer boyfriend, obvi. I love him. Every Wednesday at ten, so pumped.

Um, my day wasn't interesting. I ate lunch & dinner with Tiffanie. Pretty sweet how she made me get presentable before I could go to dinner with her. The ribs were YUMMY. Class was class like. I have a meeting with my adviser tomorrow, yay! :D. We had a fire drill today for which I did my hair before I left my room, and I napped alot. Watched I Love NY, Kid Nation, Project Runway, and Nip/Tuck today. So basically all my favorite shows besides Gossip Girl. Oh there was a scene in last weeks episode that was absolutely amazing, check Steph's myspace, for the clip.

Ordered a book for Mo, talked to the other best friend, random phone call from Alexa, love her. Called the whole staff, love them too. Things are super fabulous, obvi.

Oh and to all my legit friends (you know who you are) that read this. December issue is gonna be kind of a big deal. If you wanna do a write up of the year overall in the Baltimore scene, let me know. I want as many as possible, even band boys.

"I'm Bouncing Off The Walls Again"

So instead of my formal entries I'm gonna sum up why today was awesome :D! I woke up, ate my hot pocket that I didn't eat yesterday. Had some hot chocolate! Talk to my best friend, and the other one too! I get dressed & I look super cute. Get to class and I get my seat! Then I find out that I can make up this one assignment I didn't do! I'm completely caught up with everything I need to do after I finished the flyer I made this morning. New ep of ANTM is great! I actually almost understand what we're doing in Calc. Found out about an amazing tour that will help me out in planning my 18th birthday. I cashed my check & I have MONEY! I devoured my yummy dinner, and I didn't even get realllly sick. I took a super good nap. Mandy came to the show with me & Mo! I like Mandy! I got my two tickets & photo pass without any issues at all. Interview went great, boys super nice and super cute. They talked about the awesome tour that I was already excited for! One boy I interviewed before got cuter and remembered me. Motion City was amazing. I got back to school and they have ham & cheese hot pockets at The Spot! Plus I got 40 blog views today, and did a cool survey. Oh! and i saw Taylor & Britney and finally gave her her camera back :D. Wes texted me to see if I was at the show, and it made me happy that he thought about me. And I'm currently writing this and not too tired to write this blog so I don't have extra work to do tomorrow. I know that tomorrow I can just get work done all day, so I can go to bed now. AND to top it off, I'm in a good enough mood to listen to Armor for Sleep.

I don't ask for much, to understand my work, good friends, not to be stressed out, my passes to be where they belong, and a good show. Little things make me so happy, kids. Why am I always so sad?

Day Overall: 8!

"Motivate Me. I Need To Get Myself Out Of This Bed"

I did not have any kind of motivation to leave my room yesterday. Ended up getting up anyway and dragging myself to class. Class is very class like. Run into cute Jason after class and we talk for a while.

SEB meeting was silly as usual. The gorilla was a problem for me. have an issue with mascots, and anything similar to that. Alot of things in life make me uncomfortable, like the Young Wild Things Tour poster.

Adam was sitting next to a very cute boy named Paul wearing a track jacket and carrying a Peta messenger bag. Found out later from Adam that Paul has a gf haha. It's whatevs.

So then back to my room after I grab a cheese steak. Nap, set my alarm for 2:00. Turned that shit off quick, then 2:19 I open my eyes and have no type of motivation to get up yet again. Then I remember I actually like Econ.

So I did my hair and headed out to class. Class is pretty great. Totally get whats going on and watched two people get yelled at for sleeping in class lol. Back to my room, and I can't really remember what I did. I talked to Mo and had a really good dinner. Oh yea... I mailed a shit load of magazines. I believe the new issue is now sold out :). I need to reprint ATL one more time...

Make plans with Steph to go to NITB. She picks me up. We go to visit Allie at work. I get a Gellati, it's yummy. Get to fletchers, talk to Joe (the door guy), tells me I have cute friends, and that I look cute lol.

Band on stage is loud and 98 rock like. I'm like ehh, and chill in the seats in the back. Lead singer of the band Jeff wants to see is hot so I sit where I can see til Jeff & Timmy get there. Watch the band with them. I don't like them much either, give Jeffy a back massage. After their set, we stand around and talk for a while before we head out. Had a discussion about Timmy's self pleasuring days lol...

Jeff & Timmy give me & Steph a ride to Steph's car. (Oh I was ver proud of myself for getting us to Fletchers without getting lost). So drive back home. heard all about Saturday night from Steph, and get dropped off at school.

Stopped and talked to Caitlin then went to The Spot with her and grabbed some food. Back to my room, and got on the computer for a bit, then bed.

Another boring useless day basically. Oh and I think I've (and when I say I, I mean Mo helped me) decide who I want to play my birthday show.

Oh I'm supposed to plug these two things:

"I'm Boring But Overcompensate"

SUNDAY...

I woke my #2 & #3 up at different times because I got a full night of sleep for the first time in a while on the weekend. Golly, I'm thirsty...

Okay so anyway after I woke up, went to work for the work meeting. Meeting wasn't bad, found someone to cover my thansgiving weekend shift, so yay for that lol. We usually have breakfast for meetings, shit happened, no breakfast.

So then mommy picked me up. (I didn't drive all weekend). Go home and write a blog, strip the bed, and wash the sheets. Trip to Sams Club didn't get what I need because my daddy didn't give me enough money, so that was upsetting. Back home, blogging, folding laundry, ANTM marathon! You get the point...

So I packed my shit up, ate a hot pocket, said bye to my mommy and the SaraBaby picked me up. She was running a half hour late and then we make it to Mo's. Hop in Ebony's car and I'm in the backseat sleeping of course. Stick me in the back seat of a car I'll fall asleep lol, unless you hit the rumble strip hahaha.

So all day I kinda forgot I was seeing Fall Out Boy. I've become so accustom to club shows, that I was very ehhh about the show. Cute was them of course, The T's were great, Tom is still absolutely adorable. Travie is still gorgeous and still says silly things. In between sets were music videos that was hosted by Gabe, and "Williamsburg" played, and TAI. Of course made me miss SWGT.

Then FALL OUT BOY GOT ON STAGE, and then I remember oh right, I LOVE THIS FUCKING BAND. There was pyrotechnics! OMG! Everytime the fire went off I went WOW! :-O! Then I decided I like fire more than confetti. Until the end of the showwww! There was like a tornado of confetti. It was epic. The whole stage setup was great. AND AND AND Saturday was the last song! Soo goood.

Back to school, food, work, bed.

Sorry big shows don't make for good blog entries lol. I loved the show haha. Tuesdays might be a good read.

I've decided that I want to have another random party, but I guess that can wait until my birthday party. I mean my first random house party it amazed me that people actually liked me enough to come to my house and party lol. My 18th birthday needs to be epic, because 18 means I'm a big girl now hahaa. Invite only finally.

"And I Was Packed Against These People Who Were Tossing Up A Strong Vibe"

Finally made it to Saturday lol...

So I ended up sleeping at my own house Saturday night and my dad rushes in at 7:30 like BLAH BLAH BLAH DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?! I pull out my cell phone that I snuggle up with every night an go... 7:30? He's like blah blah don't you have work at 8? I'm like no I have work at 8:45. So at this point he's successfully woken not only but Stephani up, haha. So I get up and hop in the shower and take care of shit i need to do while Steph goes back to bed.

So Steph leaves and I get my daddy to drive me to work so I don't have to drive home before Philly. Work is silllllly. It's the annual Christmas parade, and it made me realize how sick & ridiculous middle aged suburban white American's can be. I'm just saying. I don't know the last time I got sufficiently upset because I couldn't shake around a cheap stainless steel bell... Whatever.

So half way through the parade Geo comes out of the chaos that is Starbucks and dances around with me to the parade. It was cute, kinda miss that kid. He's growing his hair out an it looks great.

So my boss shows up and yells at Danielle and it's silly. By this point it's finally time to go. The crazy new girl, Kristy, is getting on my DAMN nerves, and it takes me forever to be able to close out.

So Mo comes to get me, and she grabs food & such then we head to Longhorn because I left my wallet in Steph's car. Then it's off to Philadelphia. We park like 3 blocks over and stop at BK. I was so hungry haha. Mo has to use the potty so we stop in the mall, since BKs was closed.

So we get to The Troc, and the tiny ass room is PACKED with kids like to the point where you can barely move. So I see Hunter (from We The Kings) across the room so me & Mo head over to that tiny ass corner lol. We see Trevor, their manager first and we're basically like why are you doing merch? He's like we lost our merch boy. So I'm thinking like, he just dropped off the tour or something. No, he's talking about Andelicious (who he calls Jackelicious?) who is currently on the Boys Like Girls tour lol. But they did find a random replacement kid so that's good ol.

So we can make our way to talk to Hunter, and I give him the magazine, like "hey, hey it's you!". He's all "Can I keep it?!" and I'm like hhaha of course. We chat for a while about getting carded and being 21 and all that jazz. We also ask where the Travis is. "Taking a nap" haha.

So we dance around to Mayday Parade, and watch the crazy ass Philly kids be crazy ass Philly kids. So lead singer of Mayday is all "MEET US AT OUR MERCH TABLE AFTER THE SET!!!" which is of course right where we're standing lol... So me & Mo decide to move to a new location. We briefly consider buying the "I Partied with Powerspace" shirt, but we can't go false advertising lol.

So we're chilling there and it happens to be right next to "backstage" and Travis comes out and we're like Hey, he goes, hey, then turns to see who it is and goes "OH MY GOSH" It was SO cute! lol. "I like good greetings like that haha. Like Bryce's "Bryce Face," or Paul's adorable ass smile, or FTSK's points & questions from stage lol.

so we chill and talk to Travis for a while, he's already read the article & review, he likes the article alot and says it's one of the best he's ever read about them, or maybe Hunter said that... I dunno. I can't remember what he said about the review lol. Then we ask if he's seen Danny (mo had to look his name up ahahah). Not so much.

So we finally head half way back to wear we were originally standing and Trevor walks past and after me & him have a cat fight, we ask him to get Danny. So a few minutes later Danny comes out, and he's really excited to see us! And to prove he really remembers us he pulls out his Iphone and scrolls to both Mo & My phone number in his phone, whats up!? haha. He's also read the review and article. Loves the review, and he goes "who wrote the review?" "I did." He's like oh... hahahaha. Yea, if you haven't figured it out. The review was not very nice. He loved the article though.

So he gives us one of the cookies this crazy ass girl made for them and we dance around for a while, after he mentions there's not enough space in the Troc to dance haha. We also talk about Drew and how he's the loner of the band haha. So Danny heads out and we say we'll catch him later.

During Madina Lake they have confetti! And Travis turns to me and goes, I always get so excited about confetti, and I'm like OMG OMG ME TOO! hahaha. It was really cute & silly.

Oh before this I talk to the lead singer of Mayday Parade about how I met him at the Philly Warped Tour haha....

So yea anyway, Trevor comes back out, and he's all, what do you need Danny for anyway? I'll like psssh, we already talked to him, we don't need you anymore haha. So after kids almost attack the lead singers of Madina Lake, they're on stage and me & Mo are dancing to them. Lead singer of Mayday is watching us and smiles. Then I go and dance all up on Trevor, before he goes, Oh! Pssh, you gave us a bad review! Hahahaha. At this point everyone around is looking at us as always like Who do these girls think they are? lol. That's when I go back over the (I'm pretty sure his name is Derek?) and I'm like you look so bored, come dance with us! He can't because he's tired and has to watch merch but says it looks like we're having fun and gives me a high five haha.

So Trevor walked past and I pushed him before me & Mo head out and I wave bye to Derek. Look, he'll remember me next time he's in town lol. As we're walking down the stairs, Trevor tries to push me down the stairs lol. We have a loving relationship lmao.

So we go outside and wander around the block before we decide just to chill out front. So Drew comes out, and I forgot that he' really awkwardly cute lol, but then he goes back in, and Danny comes out and almost hits Monique lol. So him and his friend are smoking and we talk for a bit, then me & mo are talking amongst ourselves before Danny goes "Nice scarf. What is it, the day after labor day?!"( My outfit is all black and a white scarf...) I'm like wow, I just got insulted and me & him weren't even talking. it was just a random insult lol.

This spawned a discussion about how next time they're in town I should wear green and also the scarf was then tied around my ankle... Yeaaa lol. So Danny is telling me how the first and last paragraph are dead on haha, and he read the article twice haha, mostly because he had to not hate me from the review lol.

Then Mo gets on the phone because Alexa calls, and I tell Dann the story about Just Surrender & Cartel, and I was like aww I knew they'd be friends with Just Surrender lol. Then we turn around and ignore Mo because she stopped talking to us to be on the phone with Alexa haha.

I don't even know how long we were outside talking, but there was one point where we're like maybe about to leave and Danny basically asks us not to leave yet haha. Pretty cute. I like that kid lol. We finally head out and he's like there's a 90% chance we'll be at that party. I'll call either way. (We invited them all to Sara's party, per Sara's approval). Walking back to the car a van honks at us. It's Trevor driving the tour van haha.

So we stop at a rest stop on the way home so Mo can eat. Then I get dropped off at home. Ime 'm so excited because my rents actually bought me food! So I ate, took some medicine, and did the dishes. Then I took a nap, phone in hand until Steph called around 11:20? So I decided I guess I had to roll out of bed, and look cute again. So Steph comes over & then Mo comes to pick us up.

So we go to Sara's and it's basicall Pat's party lat weekend plus about 20-25 kids I didn't know, all playing drinking games. (My friends don't play drinking games, besides Steph ahaha). It's good to see some kids, but for the most part it wasn't neessary for me to hang around. Outside I say hi to AD & crew, Ryan from Adelphi, The Hint (!). Inside, going up the pitch black hallway can't see anything at all lol... In the apartment, there's scattered assortments of kids I like, Pat, Devin, Stefon, Marc, etc. etc. etc. I sit next to Jordan, evidently Steph saw Jordan telling Ryan about Mo's party, and by her party I mean me and his activities. I was kinda hoping he just kinda forgot lol...

So I give Jordan a back massage and later I go and flirt with Victor, he's all "You just got here!? Here! *hands me a drink*" "I don't drink, and I thought you didn't either" "Oh... why? Oh yea, so you don't end up like me..." While we're talking inside I was saying how he looks good and he says he likes my face haha... I dunno. I would have upped the fllirting but there was a girl sitting in the chair by where I was standing, and I didn't know if he came with Victor...

We turn shit into a dance party. Chat up with some kids. Jacqueline asks me if I'm hot in my coat... not so much. Then I'm done making my appearance lol. Say bye to the birthday girl and promise her a gift next weekend when I have cash.

Steph & Mo drop me off at home, Steph grabs her car anddrops it off at Mo's and they head back to the party. Steph texts me and lets me know that most of the people at the party that I'd want to talk to had left haha. So I didn't feel like i was missing out on much at all. Really wasn't trying to stay. I'll catch most of these kids next weekend I'm sure lol.

Oh yea, I also got yelled at by my mother. Don't ask, she's still crazy but it's whatever. I watched the end of Ritchie Rich, then fell asleep.

The party was a good time for the hour I was there, if I would have stayed longer I probably wouldn't have had as much fun lol, doing the wave wouldn't have been a cute at 3 am lol. Philly was the highlight of the day, no doubt. Actually, Danny was. I like that kid even though he never called us haha. I'm just upset we didn't take pics. We'll catch them next time they're in town, of course. I also like that WTK's manager remembers & likes us haha. Managers have power lol. Eh, you get the point, it was a good day. Not amazing but one of the best since SWGT! Oh & before you ask why we didn't go to Ottobar, FOB in VA on Sunday! haha...

p.s. - Now, you mght actually wanna read the We the Kings article & review. The review is up on the site now, the article will be up after 11/24 or you can just buy the newest issue.

"You Were The Last Good Thing About This Part Of Town"

FRIDAY was wow, sketchy, basically.

So me & Stephani wake up stupid late, around noon. Therefore, I slept for roughly 11 hours. That's what happens when you combine pills, exhaustion, stress and lack of a computer. haha.

So I decide that, I'm in desperate need of IHOP. I told Steph and she's all about it haha. So we go to her work first to get her paycheck. Not so much... Have to come back after 2.

So we go to IHOP with $19 between us. We're sad and pitiful and try to order the cheapest things lol. Waitress sucks, $2 tip. By this time it's almost 2, head back to Longhorn, and Steph grabs her paycheck.

So we head back to Steph's hang for a while, watch bits & pieces of a few movies, then Steph's grand parents show up. Then my doctor's appointment. Steph being the great best friend she is waits for me while I lay on a few chairs and pee in a cup or so.

Head back to my house around 5, and I apologize to my mommy. Sets a bullshit curfew, so I'll actually still chill at school and other people's house when I can. Then we eat yummy food and I do the dishes.

So then me & Steph go to pick up Allie and we head to her old elementary/middle school for their Christmas fund raiser, we meet up with her friend, red head kid who's name I can't remember, I'm leaning towards Mike or Matt or something. Just checked, his name is Mike. Well anyway, we met up with him, he rolls out of the car with a 12oz cup of Jack Daniels... awesome.

So we get to the school and I've never seen so many adorable wayyyy underaged boys before lol. Kinda like me & Steph's stroll by Eastern Tech. My god, me & Steph are tempted to go back to high school.

So we eat a few snacks then head back to Allie's while Steph & Mike enjoy some rubbing alcohol, aka, Vodka. Mike gets a phone call from one of his friends about a party so Allie's fully against it but me & Steph are always down for a party and we drag Allie along.

So we meet up with Mike's sketchy friend and drive to sketchy ass, legit Hamilton to "pre-game." After being uncertain of which house it is, we go inside to the basement after being escorted downstairs by a cute "i used to live in the city but transferred to Eastern Tech" boy.

So we go downstairs to the basement and the room are seperated by sheets, no, seriously. So we go to the last "room" and on the walls is a Dazed & Confued poster, a Jimmy Hendrix poster, a sweet anti-smoking poster, and to top it all off Marvin Gaye is playing on the Ipod, no, seriously. There's 4 boys, plus Mike all at different levels of ghetto lol.

Me & Allie are thoroughly sketched out by this place, me because there weren't alot of people and I didn't know exactly where I was. Allie on the other just doesn't roll in this kinda scene. She didn't go to school in Dundalk lol. Steph is right at home (she went to 12 years of school in Dundalk), she's flipping through the Ipod and stumbles across a variety of local bands.

Brian, who is the owner of said sketchy house says my first favorite quote of the night. "Dude, I'm not trying to die tonight." All four boys opt not to drive with Mike hahaha. The ghettoist of the 4 decides to drive. So we all hop in the assigned cars to go to this party. We stop t the liquor store first, also, sketchy of course, and Mike tried to spit out the window and it ran all the way down his chin and down the side of his car, HILARIOUS.

So Mike pulls off alittle later, and we start fllowing thinking he knows where he's going. Not so much. The four boys come back out and the cute one that let us in is talking to us and is like oh, we think Mike's weird, and he also doesn't have any idea where he's going. Thy tell us to follow them. Here comes quote number two from Brian. After this discussion, Brian walks past the car alittle after and says... "Butter Biscuits." Me, Steph, and Allie could not contain our laughter after this.

So we finally roll out, find Mike, hit a read light, and after several attempts to talk to Mike, he gives Allie's number to the cute kid, and they pull over for like 20 minutes to wait for us. So after driving all up into the blue light district we end up right by my house then drive past my house and up Pulaski Highway. We end up in Fells Point and we're a few blocks from Fletchers. i felt alot more safe then.

So Mike ditched us and went home, so we parked at the "party" and as we get out of the car these guy driving by are all "HEY WHERE YOU LADIES GOING?" The boys get out o there car and basically claim us which made me feel very safe that they were looking out for us.

So the "party" is above this closed liquor store and it's only the guy that lives there and us hahaha. It's just kinda eerie. Allie is all about leaving, I'm okay with it, Steph's having a good time. I really just wanted to hit on cute kid lol.

So after favorite quote number three "This beer has a sweet after taste. It's scrumptious, it's yummy," thank you, Brian! haha. So we decide to peace finally, because it was a bit entertaining but kinda boring. Plus, they started talking about going to Fletcher's. Revel plagues my life.

So we hop back into the car, I call Mo, because I had called her earlier, and I let her know I'm okay and everything. So we drop Allie back off her house, and me and Steph head back to my house. We discuss why Allie was so uncomfortable and we felt a bit bad haha. Oh on the way to Allie's we talked about each of our types, and how I like preppy boys with scene tendencies, or artsy boy who can play an acoustic.

So me & Steph stop at McDonalds and after bitching about the late night menu, they gave me what I wanted at the price I wanted haha. So we pull up and the boy at the window is leaning over to see me. He's all, hey I see you everywhere. (I'm 90% certain he lives in like REAL Rosedale), so of course he does. So then he asks me or my Facebook or Myspace. I give him my myspace url because he's cute even though he works at McDonalds hahah. He's a light skinned black boy who probably grew up in the county but went to Overlea.

(I'm soo good at stereotyping), mostly because anyone could pick out my stereotype lol. Black girl who's parents probably have a 9 to 5, and lived in the county her whole life hahahaha. I know myself.

So while at McDonald's Steph embarrassed the fuck out of herself trying to order and cute boy laughed at us, but mostly her lol, best part is when, she put her car in park previously, then tried to drive off, SO GOOD lol.

So back to my house and I watch "In Too Deep" and do a homework assignment. Steph heads off to bed, and me about an hour or two later.

To say the least it was a very interesting night, I thought the boys were great though. I didn't see them letting us get hurt at all though. They seemed to really care about whether or not we get hurt haha. I like them, they were sketchy but eh, all my friends are a bit sketchy lol.

"There's Nothing Wrong With Getting Your Party On"

THURSDAY, I got my econ test back. Didn't fail! :D, skipped Environmental Science. Met with my advisor who approved my classes for next semester. Back to my room, took a nap, then dinnnner.

So Steph & Mo come to get meeee, and we go to SOOOONAR. Show's sold out, and in the tiny club stage. So we get inside and are cramped. Run into Michelle :D This creepy ass guy feels me the fuck up when he walks past me.

Me & Mo dance around the The Secret Handshake cramped in a small spot with Michelle & Steph dancing around. Sketchy boy kept touching me, grosssss! Danced all up Cooper (he's still SO hot lol), and sketchy kid got like jealous lol? I dunno lol. Anyway, after TSH, bathroom time with Michelle. Whats her name is on the phone talking about the events of last week. Me & Michelle are talking about how cute we are & boys of course lol.

So back inside, Jonzetta goes on, dance around a bit. Steph is SO excited it's adorable. Towards the end of the set me & Michelle go ot the lounge and sit around for a while, listening to the lounge singer, it was odd lol.

Back to the bathroom then back to the main room. Sometime during this all I talk to Jeff & Geoff. Sketchy guy still around. Steph tries to talk to the lead singer in Jonzetta and he blows her off because he's a big meanie. One of the merch boys is crazy cute, and then Family Force 5 goes on :D!

Their set is AWESOME, and I haven't seen such extreme crowd participation in a while haha. It was pretty intense. Me and Mo were dancing all around. Sketchy guy noticed us dancing and was staring us down, so creeeepy! Me & Mo danced all over Cooper, and I danced all up Jeffrey Hurn, which he proclaimed later that he loved hah. Cute merch boy kept smiling at me & Mo. I told Steph she'd like "Erfquake" most and didn't believe me when I said one of the boys names is SOUL GLOW ACTIVATOR and then later in the set the cute merch boy fed me a twizzler, but then I felt bad because I remembered Jeff's blog about how any boy who buys you a drink is just trying to fuck you, I'm sure being fed red twizzlers is in the same category lol.

So after the show we head outside and talk to those boys in that local band I like for a while. Mr. Hurn comments on y dancing skills and how he loves the scene trash myspace, and we discuss he's silly blog and how I was compelled to listen to it and how everyone is trying to fuck him now because he's Mr. Sensitive lol.

So the show was a whole lot of fun, I wanted to go talk to the merch boy, but Jeff's blog... hahaha.

Get back to Mo's, hop in Steph's car, drive to her house and she has to take care of me because I'm getting very sick. She gives me medicine (which I can't afford to buy at school), makes me soup, and hot chocolate! :D She's such a good best friend haha. Then I broke down and started crying because I missed my mommy since she was still not speaking to me. I almost made Steph cry and I felt bad.

Started getting sleepy eating my soup because cold medicine knocks me out even half the dose lol. Fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow ahah.

"Like The Afternoons We Used To Spend Before You Got Too Cool"

So Wednesday , I can't remember the day much because school is a big blur of nothing for the most part. So Mo came and got me for the show. Can't remember where we stopped first lol, but then we went to Sara's to get my coat :D! YAY coat! Where would I be without Monique? hahaa.

Oh yea! Chipotle. I don't like it there. They move too fast and I couldnt order what I really wanted, and it was just so fast and the food was a bit too spicy and I just didn't like it. Maybe because I don't like Mexican food, the end. I like seeing Devin though. He came with and we all chilled and talked in his car for a good while, and the highlight of the night or MO was the seatbelt attacking me lol, that and the fact that her car is worth... $75 hahahaha.

So then Sara's, then Recher. We're going in and see Bridgette. I like her :D. Then we get inside and the cute security guard at Recher is all guest list right? We're like yea, I don't have three dollars anyway. He's like, I wouldn't charge you anyway. You're not 21 yet are you? Nope haha.

So get inside say hi to Dan from PRP. Go to the bathroom and crazy middle schoolers there, one which is wearing a Hint shirt, an then asked me how I feel about Will, randomly?

Go back out and dance around to Play Radio Play! It as a good time, saw a bunch of stupid girls. So I'm thoroughly annoyed by Meg & Dia in addition to the extensive amount of smoking. So I mopped around the hallway for a while, and talk to Rhi for a while, even made my angry face. Oh sometime during the night we put up posters and another band played before PRP! lol. Oh & we talked to Justin & Bagel.

So during The Spill Canvas we headed out, and went to 711. Highlight of my day was a box of hot chocolate!!! So back to Recher to pass out stickers. I need to pee SO bad, and we walk back in and cute security guard is all like pssh of course you can come back in :D

So then we catch the last song and head back out to pass out stickers. We have barely started and we see the security guard knock this guy the fuck over becase he was trying to walk out with a beer. It could have ended there but then he pushed one. OMG OMG OMG, I've never seen Recher security so pissed. THEY ROCKED THE SHIT OUT OF HIM, and hit him up again a BMW. It was intense, I stepped wayyy out of the way.

So passing out tickers ad dancing to the Rec Room music next door. Random boy danced with us. We got some pics passing out stickers, and we talked to security about the SWEET fight hahaha.

Finished passing out stickers & went back inside. Went to give Dan his stickers, talked to Justin a bit. Then started talking to Dan for a good while about how much his label sucks basically lol. So great, and his nice shoes lol. Then we're all ready to leave and stop to say by to Bryan Dark Line. Not so much lol. We group hugged like 6 times lol? And talked for a while about his birthday and how we used to be friends and how he plays too much Halo. It was interesting to say the least.

So finally leaving cute security guard is all "bye sweetie" and I'm all like hehehe. I need to learn his name lol.

Back to school and almost straight to bed.

"Everyone's a Let Down"

Tuesday was sooo long basically. I worked on the website allllll night, and didn't get enough sleep. I talked to this sketchy guy that i tryna get with me, through facebook. He uses Comic Sans Serif and probably likes The Fray. It'll never work lol. Oh I finally found out what Mo couldn't tell me the whole time lol. Wasn't that serious, and it's kind of been proving wrong over the weeek, so it's completely whatever. Wish I wasn't the cause of some drama, but eh, "drama doesn't follow me if ride on my back."

Makes me wonder who i can trust but I've known how far away to keep certain people, and how much information to diverge. It's called being smart, kids. I can't keep a secret just like I don't tell lies. I don't sugarcoat and people think I'm a bitch. Speak your minds kids, CUT THE BULLSHIT.

This entry is short because I don't remember what I did, besides work on the website for hourssss. I hit 500 blog views on Tuesday.

"It's A Long Way From My House to 309"

"You walk into a room knowing you could have any boy in there." THANK YOU, PAUL!

But we'll get to that in a second. Woke up around 8:30 decided it'd be a good idea to grab breakfast. Woke up smiling :D. Call some relatives, (my great aunt died), and then hop in the shower. Class at 11, found out I failed my E. Science exam, talked to Geoff Blake a bit, and Alexa, of course I talked to Mo, and I think Zack texted me?

After lass was SEB, meeting was silly, I did a silly survey on Myspace and me & Adam bickered, and they had scary V for Vendetta masks that I decided I'd rather not wear haha. So Me & Caitlin peace and grab food. Got a text from Mo forgot that I asked what happened in her bad dream hahaha. On the way to the dining hall I pass out the flyers for the movie, Caitlin not so much haha. Ate lunch with Caitlin and Joe & Joe (roommate) haha. Joe got a haircut, I like it.

Oh yea, on the way to the dining hall Caitlin told me "You flirt like it's your job." Which I do lol, I complimented Jason on his pretty eyes on the way up. I think that's the theme of the day haha, My Flirting.

Take my last two pills at lunch (Adam, I had that awesome pie) then go to see my advisor. He's sick so I get rescheduled to Tuesday. So instead of going back to my dorm I chill in the Engineering building and use my laptop for a while. President of the University walks by and talks about how hard working everyone looks on their laptop.

So then Econ class I had to take a walk half way in so I didn't fall asleep, got a text from my mom reminding me to schedule my doctors appointment so I guess she still cares if I drop dead. Econ Class wasn't terrible, started talking about derivatives, almost freaked out about that haha.

Class is over and I talk to Dom for a while, love seeing him. He's so fucking cute haha, then NAP, such a good nap. Mo calls me at 6:30 because she knows i have a lot of work to do, thanks again! Get up, answer mesages, get online, work on the website, yummy dinner, plans get mixed around, but Sara picks me up around 8:30.

OMG, my roommate is snoring so FUCKING loudly!

Anyway... We talk in the car, get to Fletchers. See Mr. Hurn walking downstairs. Bunches of randomes but mostly bunches of really legit kids, like I told Alexa it would be haha. See. Mr. Lombardi and give him a hug, he grabs me and kisses me a few times and tells me he'd never date me but "I'm his girl." Kisses are sloppy after a while, wow... Hands all over me, he also specfies the events of last weekens haha.

So Things That Fly's set is ridiculous, loved it. Sara didn't find it as funny as I did haha. Paul said "hi Christine" from stage which was adorable and Jeff shouted out to Sara about spilling beer on her yesterday. Mike Lombardi was chilling on the back of the stage screaming silliness.

After there set hugged up on the two of them as always because that's how I roll. Decided I ound my entertainment for the night an hour or so in. Rhi goes "where are you going?" "I dunno, to ruin lives?" another good quote "I have enough boys here to keep me entertained tonight."

Bravo's set was great better than the last time I've saw them def. Hung around in the back a bit and placed myself on Jeff's lap hha. Mandy shows up and I'm like "OH SHIT!" hha. So excited to see her. Stefon shows up, more "OH SHIT!"

So chilling in the back on Paul's lap talking to Mandy, he gets up and goes, "Yet again, you look great tonight. But you know that. You walk into a room knowing you could have any boy in there, and you know that." I LOVE PAUL, because he says things like that to me, or aother great one was "I'm just looking for trouble tonight, and I know you're trouble." HAHA SOO GOOD.

So we go to hang upstairs in the tiny as green room for a while with Rhi. Squeeze myself between Paul & Jeff aha. Go back dowstairs for Oh The Story's set and danc around intensely with Mandy & Cookie. All the while the whole night texting Ms. Mo because serious car issues last night. Danced all up on Paul & Stephon & Alexa. Random shout out from Ed from stage.

So Mo and The Carbon Kin minus Adam who was already there finally show up, in addition to Kevin's gf alittle later. Talk and chat for a while. Me & Adam had matching outfits ahah. Jeff sent me upstairs to find Paul. Hang around for a while before they kick us out from up there haha. At this point everyone who didn't get one's got a copy of the new issue ahah unlike last time which I explained to Sara how it sold outttt. Towards the end of the night, Joe that works at Fletchers is all "how old are you?" "17." "Oh, if you were older I'd let the drinks slide." "I don't drink anyway but thanks!" haha. I like him lol.

So after the show I hop in Mandy's car and head to Jeff's. We didn't even get lost haha. We couldn't find McDonalds though, however. So get to Jeff's, Paul's MIA, and Jeff's on the phone so I chill on Jeff's lap, find out Paul's passed out in his room haha. Everyone else shows up and we all chat and hang out. Laurie told me to kiss Jeff for her, which I did haha. Make a McDonalds run with Mandy, Mo and Steve. Steve is being ridiculous, and I tell him about my life... Took stupid long to get our food. Get back, Paul's still passed out. Dance around for a bit. Got mad at Jeff for yelling at me, then it's time to head out. Kissed Jeff a few more times haha.

So me & Sara head out after saying bye to everyone. Sara's a bit intoxicated and about half way through the drive home, Sara has to pull over and let me drive. Mind you, I've never driven on the highway, but it's 3am and no cars on the road so I was okay. Make it back to my school without hitting anything and wish Sara a good ride home. Text Mo, and she tells me drama occurs involving me but because she's so tired she can't tell me, and when I texted in the morning too busy at work to tell me, so this is o course KILLING ME, but it's not her fault so I'll live.

Today wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be, but it wasn't half bad either. Sara ask me "what today was?" Had to deliberate for a while before I decided that...

"Only Stops Here Twice A Year, He Says You're Pretty and He Adores You"

So I'm a big fan of the fact that every time I see Paul he tells me I look good haha, but saying lol...

But anyway, my day... wasn't as terrible as the previous ones. Was awoken around 7 by my bladder. Awoken around 10 by my father. Then finally got up around 10:30.

Started getting ready about 10:45, got a text from Mo & Jeff Henley & Zack, so that was nice haha. Go downstairs and head to McDonald's, grab some food, pop two pills haha.

So we decide not to go to Brittany's rugby game and go back to Steph's and watch Ten Things I Hate About You then Steph dropped me off at work. Met up with Monique & Devin and go window shopping with them a bit. Around 2:45 I went to cash my check, grabbed some food, and changed for work.

Finally get the November schedule, there's some serious problems with it. Solve a few of them but there's a huge problem with two days... Still working on it. So I spent about 90 minutes working on that. Another new girl, just as annoying as the first, but she's nice.

So I text a few people, and talk to Mo and I decide that sometimes I really just want to be a 17 year old girl. Mo agrees. I change and the she comes to pick me up so we can go to Ottobar. Sara comes too. Car ride's interesting, sharing stories about our weekend and boys haha. Stopped at BK & Wendy's. We also had a discussion about Sam from Local Love Promo... hahaha, wow. Sara made a semi-relevant remark (not about Sam) that I don't really believe, but no point in mentioning it, ya know?

So get to Ottobar and I forgot who was playing then I was like wow, look at all these locals haha. Said hi to everyone, realized I kinda miss some kids faces. Me & Steve Milaka are going to have a long chat tomorrow. First thing I do when I get inside is go behind Arden's merch table and sit on Jeff's lap haha.

Spent a good majority of the night cuddled up with Paul and/or Jeff haha. Everyone kept asking if I was going to the show tomorrow including those two so I asked Laurie if she'd come pick me up and take me to the show tomorrow. Sara also offered, so either way I know I'll get there & home tomorrow.

So Sam from Local Love showed up and prior to that Paul screamed silly things at DY from the balcony while I gave him a back massage haha, Jeff decided it was time to go. So they head out, so there goes my entertainment for the night haha. I love those boys they compliment me haha and put their arms around me lol.

Highlights of the evening include Paul telling to grab Jeff's penis. Jeff telling me to go kiss Paul. Random kids basically screwing on the balcony, the uneatable cake lol, dancing around Sara, K. Fed. Mo was a bit upset with me for questioning the relationship status of someone I've already been done with haha. Not my fault he's still cute lol. It was nice to see Ballroom Breakdown again, haven't seen them in soo long, they looked happy to see me.

So we watch So They Say and dance around a bit. I surpried Mo by buying her the So They Say CD really sketchily. Mo & Sara head out. I chill on my laptop for a while and wait for the last band to be done so we can head out.

Arden together are some skecthy mother fuckers in their BUS, listening to QUEEN? No, seriously. Like if I didn't know Neal & Laurie very well I probably would have been a little scared for my life. SO sketchy lol. Then another good part was how Neal's like "oh we need to take Christine back to school, oh I wasn't planning on going back to school, I'm going over my friends house." So I'm like, wtf, what if Laurie was like nope, can't take her in the bus or something, eh whatever. My phone died on the ride home while texting Mo.. OH FUCK! I left my awesome Breaking Star shirt in the bus...

Get back to my room and I get pissed at my shitty suite mates. Post yesterdays blog. I go visit Dom. I forgot how awesome Dom's hugs are. Then come back and change into my PJs.

OH OH! KEVIN CALLED ME! That added a point to my day definitely. He called to see how I was, what I was up to, what I'm doing tomorrow, and to tell me about how much a certain girl sucks ahah. I am ALL ABOUT random phone calls from gorgeous boys.

Like Mo, I'm excited for tomorrow. I think some things are looking up? Well I don't think it' even possible for things to get much worse so they can only go up from here, know what I mean haha? I need to keep reminding myself that not everything is that fucking serious and I need to chill out, people will live if I don't make one flyer.

Golly it's amazing how relevant people/places can be at one point that are so insignificant now. The beginning of October and the beginning of November feel like months apart. Mo's party feels like it was a month ago... This weekend felt a week long.

"She's Still Preoccupied With 1985"

So woke up today to find that my cell phone was no longer working. Fucking awesome, seriously. Don't ask. Call my daddy from school phone, he's all, we need to talk and blah blah blah. He's like can I call you back and i'm like oh, no, I don't know this number and my cell isn't working & my roommate doesn't have one.

So I'm already have a crappppppy day, so I talk to Mo for a sec then go back to sleep. She's not in a great mood either. Wake up around noon, blog, go to get brunch. Eat fast, take medicine. Get online, finally in the mood to get some work done after watching a dumb amount of I Love NY 2. Hop in the shower.

Called my daddy, he found out his aunt died today so he said call him back around eight. I eat left over pizza around 4, more medicine. More TV while working on the website. Hopefully I'll get it up tomorrow. Who knows. So my friend Jason gets online and makes my day bye being so excited to talk to me.

Around 8, I call my daddy, tells me to call him in the morning. My cell's working again, call up Mo & Steph, making plans or whatever. Ashley (roommate) gives me some Chicken & Brocolli which was SO good and I took my medicine.

Steph comes up to get me and I get dressed, we stop at Mo's to pick her up, notice the silly amount of cars at Pats so after a trip to Walgreens we stop through just to say hi...

WOW! The amount of people at Pat's is silllllly. Walk up and Michael Lombardi is all, "Hey Christine, did I fuck Steph?!" hahahahaha. Like every single person that I've even mentioned in the month of October was there besides all the kids I really like haha. Mo tries to help me out and keeps me outside when I glimpse up to the top of the stairs I see Jordan and i go SHIT! hahaha...

Steph decides to go inside so I can't just chill outside. Bryan from Boy Crazy points at me and taps Jordan and goes "Look!" ...wow. Matt (Bonhot) is there randomly. Say hi to some kids still just kinda confused at the amount of kids there. All kinds of band boys. The entirety of Boy Crazy except Bagel... like, silly. Finally say hi to Jordan right when I'm about to leave. So there was another party we were supposed to go to.

So we head over there, ends up being a costume party and I'm like WOAH, wtf? No one told us. Dance with random guys and I'm like oh well "At least I don't know them." You know when you watch a movie from the 80s and there's these raging costume parties with a bunch of white 20 somethings dancing badly, that look like SO much fun. This was it, without the fun part lol. Will lectures Me, but mostly Steph about not kissing that little boy... But I'm not legal and can kiss who ever I want lol. I then grab a piece of chicken before we head back over to Pat's haha.

So get to Pat's and most of the people were gone, Thank God. Some people are still being freakishly nice to me... Lindsey was there, haven't seen her in a while, me & her hugged, so did me & Rachel. I ended up having a ridiculous conversation with Justin Goodman about whips & chains, no seriously. Then he's all why don't we ever hang out, etc. etc. and he's like call me sometime, and gives me his number...

Thennn later on, Geoff Blake gets there and I'm SO EXCITED! Decided I don't see him enough haha. I was sitting on the couch talking to Geoff and Justin was all over this girl. So the girl was trying to leave and he's all well if you leave it'll just be me & Geoff, so he's like oh Christine I might need you you to sit here... Yea, um... So then everyone decides to go back to bad 80s party...

Kevin calls and decides not to come to the party but him & Mo talk for a while and me & him texted for a while. Zack was MIA. For the record Justin is not wearing pants? Yea... I dunno. Hang upstairs and eat some awesome barbeque chicken and Jeff goes "You're so black." and I was like, "Wow, when was the last time you said that?" Hahahahaha.

So I'm talking to Justin downstairs and I'm like "Hey, I almost fucked your brother last weekend." Justin's like "Oh, That's Awesome. He's fucked a black girl before, then told everyone about." "Oh, that's great." That could have been the end of the convo, but then Justin goes... "Me and Jordan have hooked up with the same girl in the same week before." I don't see why that's relevant... Okay, well I know why but as Mo said the response should have been, "Wow, and I'm not gonna be that girl." HAHAHA.

Yea... so I'm outside with Geoff Blake & Mo talking about local boys and how I have rules about how big of a band a guys in, and I was saying how I've hooked up with "notable" boys but no one knows haha. We also discussed how Mo shouldn't hook up with local band boys at all haha, and I told Geoff about Justin & Jordan and the whole situation ahhaa. I love me some Geoff Blake, I need to call him more often.

So finally said bye to Timmy & Jeffy. Tanya who previously molested my boobies at random party, and I was like, Tanya we can't do this here, we have to go back to Pat's to do this, they don't know us here lol.

OH! Forgot to talk about Will being a sketchy mother fucker like the freak he is and sitting in the bathroom at Pat's in the dark during the party waiting for people to come in and sit on him...

Silliness lol. Oh on the way to the car me & Steph see this guy passed out on a lawn that was NOT the lawn with a beer in his hand, no seriously...

Night was retarded, got back to Steph's, texting Mo for a while, fell asleep. I'm alittle upset that it took me all day to get this blog up because my severe lack of internet access, but whatever. Basically yesterday up until around 8PM sucked. Then it wasn't amazing but better than the shitty day I was having. The end.

"I'm Sorry I Can't Be Perfect"

So uh,

My mother has lost her damn mind basically. Not getting into details but she's crazy. I don't even know what else to say really. She's just fucking lost her mind and I can't handle that right now.

Anyway, yesterday was shitty. Got back to my room around 8 when Mo dropped me off. Didn't go to sleep, instead downloaded some things and watch some things, started my blog. Breakfast was good (I should go eat right now). Finished my blog. Class was boring.

Then I went to the nurse, figured out my insurance didn't cover what I needed. Called my regular doctor to make an appointment they told me it was urgent that I came in, so then I started crying. I think my nurse felt SO bad for me. Not to mention I'd been crying all day but not for any specific reason.

I call Mo and she's like call your parents and that I'll be okay. I call my mommy and she comes and gets me and takes me to the hospital. Just so people don't read this and is like "OMG did you hear christine has __________!?" I'm gonna tell you why I went. I have a UTI. SO I was like mom I think I have a UTI they said it could affect my kidneys so I need to go to the doctor. So my mom thinks I'm sleeping around which is how I got it. Pssssh, nope. I hold my bladder too much when I get caught up doing other things. That will fuck your shit up evidently lol.

So basically my mom was all pissy at me the whole time, and decided she hates Monique which is silly, but whatever. Get back to my house, and get yelled at more. I'm afraid to eat because I don't know if I'm allowed to. Sit around watching Project Runway until Mo comes to get me.

We stop at McDonalds then the bank. Mom calls me some more, I'm crying in McDonalds but not really. Stop back at Mo's so she can find a copy of the ATL issue which is MIA. So we head over to Delaware.

Get to the show and Just Surrender is on stage. Alexa pops up at the end of the show we dance around a bit to Just Surrender and Lando pops up, so it was great seeing him :D. He heads back up for My American Heart and me & Mo chat it up with Dan from JS. He heads out to change and we talk about how old we think MAH hot merch boy is. So MAH is a good time, me & Mo dance around. Not to the point of TAI or even Armor for it was still a good time. Alexa joined in occasionally.

After MAH's set I ask the merch boy ho old he is, 21. Everyone was wrong lol. Alexa & Lando leave, big hug from Lando. I like seeing his face, alot. Head outside to talk to Dan and he's all "These are my girls!" to anyone who walks past lol. We decided Mo's cell phone is gonna be infamous haha. Boys on tour keep delivering messages to Mo to deliver to other boys haha. It's cute. We chat it up for a while members of the band keep popping up. We make a run to Dunkin Donuts. They're closed then we run to McDonalds. Grab some food & head back to the show.

So come back and My American Heart is outside, we chat with some of the boys and Dustin tells us we are the best dancers there :D I'm a big fan of compliments from cute boys haha. We have some intense talking about the size of my parfait and other silly things. Ride home we have to stay awake yet again haha. Back to school & straight to bed. Because of the medicine my pee is highlighter orange, I'm debating wether or not I want to take a pic of it, it's pretty impressive lol.

Day Overall: 4 (only because of the show, without it, it would have been a 1)

p.s. - Best way to sum up the day. Lando asked me "How are you!?" "Super Dooper... no, wait... wait, no, I'm having a really fucking bad day. Super Dooper is my default answer. Um, I'm okay, I guess." Hm, I wanna talk to Lando.

"Don't Forget You Aren't Allowed To Brag About It"

Wow. What a tour. I don't think I could have made a better line up, myself.

The day is so insignificant, I don't even wanna talk about it. But I'll do it quick. Media we had a presentation, my topic was Playboy haha, talked to Michelle & tried to cheer up Mo. OH YEA THEN THAT ISSUE WITH JEFF HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Check the myspace bulletins hahah, and NO it was NOT ME. Jeff did tell me he misses me though ahha. Psych class was ehh, nothing special, studied for the Calc exam. Calc exam sucked, don't think I failed though, so that's very good. Then to the commons for a yummy cheesesteak. Head back to my room, get my shit and head out.

So we stop at Walmart and I buy Mr. Beckett a snazzy scarf. Head over to Target and I buy Gabe some sick glasses. Head to Best Buy and Mo buys Gabriel the FF5 CD and William his favorite movie, that he's not supposed to know Mo knows it's his fave movie. Drive to Philly we had a hard time trying to find music due to certain restrictions haha.

Get to Philly and meet up with our awesome parking guy haha. We've got Platinum status lmao. Mo's told she'd make a good wife haha.

Get inside and see the Island van, bad memories from FOB haha. Get inside and Gabe is being harrassed by little girls as usual and we're watching The Rocket Summer. At the end of Bryce's set we try to talk to Gabe, no not so much. So we look at merch, and Cobra's cute merch boy, Dan is all "Were you guys at Lancaster?" "Yep, and Baltimore & DC." "You guys can DANCE." Jordan next to him, which is TAI merch boy chimes in like "definitely." So we promised we'd come back and dance for them, because kids were chilling behind us looking pissed that we were chatting it up with the merch boys.

So we're hanging out waiting for Gabe to stop being surrounded, not so much, because Bryce gets off stage and there's a meet & greet with him, so it's time to get out of the way and we sped things up by just grabbing Gabe and i'm all up in his ear telling him how we have stuff for him, and need to take our picture, etc. etc. etc. People chilling around looking like excuse me, pssh. I still don't understand why people hang around him like they've got more to say than "OMG YOU'RE SO CUTE! PICTURE"

So we make our way back up the front to dance during Armor, which is a good time. People are looking all around at us. "Hey, I'm not immature, I just like to dance." Hahah. Ben looks adorable on stage rocking a new outfit, he, just like Bryce is SO excited for this show it seems. They're out of Snapple and that's upsetting but we live.

We go over to talk to Armor's merch boy. We're like we came to say hi, and he goes "No you didn't, you came to see him." Him being Bryce. We were just being nice I don't like Armor's merch boy much. I'll get to that later... So then we say hi to Bryce who gives this awesomely excited face when he sees us. It's like a surprise, plus happy, plus excited, plus cute in the blonde Bryce kinda way. His wife is so cute too and we're chatting it up with her. She's like "We saw you guys dancing! You were great!" We're like Oh, we were just warming up. You should see us during The Academy Is..., not that's serious. So Bryce is like "awww, did you dance for me?" We're like "Of course we did! Why wouldn't we?!" His wife is all, "Yea they did I saw them!!"

Bryce is like "Aw, how many more dates?" "This is the last one." Oh golly the face he made made me want to go to any other show possible ahah. Bryce had been MIA lately and we were supposed to knock on the bus last show but not so much, bus was off haha, didn't think he'd remember, yea, he did.

So after Armor Mo's tryna buy herself a shirt. Chat up with the TAI & Cobra merch guys a bit more after she gets cash from ATM and the security guards talk to us quite sketchily hah.

So Armor's having the meet & greet and the line's subsided. So we wait on the other side and talk to the boys who all remembered us, tell Ben we've been searching for him. The whole band remembers us and one is like hey *wave* hey! lol, I guess we weren't paying enough attention to him lol... Tell Ben we have the magazine on us and tell him we'll give it to him after the show.

So TAI gets on stage and we head back up. "Day four and he still looks cute." "Well thank God we didn't come yesterday." He was a SKEEELLLLETONNNNNN as the Butcher says... It was not cute lol. We saw pictures lol. During the set we started saying SKELETONNN too. People were staring lol... Jack popped out and I started dancing with him and he goes "HOLY SHIT! YOU GUYS CAME BACK!?" hahahahaha.

Head up to the the back to dance for the merch kids per their request, cute Dan was MIA haha, but Jordan and his friend were there to watch haha. Head back up front and dance all around. My legs cramping all up but it has to wait an hour this is the last time. It should have been a sign during "Williamsburg" hahaha. Random women complimenting us hardcore. Random boy comes up and jumps around with us. It was cute. Hahaha. So end of the show all kinds of compliments from rents telling us how much fun we were to watch.

Say bye to the merch boys. Jordan is like "Where you guys going next?" (Maybe that was earlier?) We tell him and everyone is standing around looking at us like why are they talking to him while I'm trying to buy my 6th shirt lol. We reach over little kids heads and give high fives, and make formal intros, ya know. Make plans to dance in the parking lot haha.

So head out and see if we can find the buses, which we do. Head back to the car and move it closer to the venue. Head back up and say bye to Jack! I was super excited to say bye to him haha. Bryce is out taking pics and sees us and makes that same super excited surprised face like he didn't see us an hour ago hah. AND THEN he compliments my jacket, yay! We give him some extra stickers/tattoos and hugs and say we'll see him soon.

The venue makes us go around the fence and Gabe is there, eh, we try to find a way around this not so much. So we see merch boys & roadies we've made friends with over the past days. Finally talk to Gabe and i'm like yo boyyy, we got your gifts, BUT you can't have them til we take our picture! So he's not having that and wants his gift so he's like oh we're doing this right now. He's like OH OH WILLIAM IS RIGHT THERE! Gabe there's like 30 people out her, we can't do this haha. He's all, oh watch me, grabs my hand and pulls me through all these girls over to William. So he's like WHERE'S THE CAMERA! and yells at Mo hardcore hahaa. I get my sweet signs ready and everyones soooo excited for my picture because everyone had to fucking notice lol.

So now we're behind William on the other side of the fence, and Gabe comes through, they're all whispering bout Halo and I'm like hhahaha cute. So I give Gabe his sunglasses & Mo gives him his CD. he looks thoroughly happy ahah. Then we ask him to get Ben off the bus. Ryland comes out, offers us some cheese crackers which he stole from Armor lol. Me & Mo are allll about these crackers then ask Ryland to get Ben. "You're not gonna get him." "Yes I am, why wouldn't I?" "The same reason why Gabe didn't..." hahahhaha.

So William's walking onto the bus & he's like oh wanna give me my gift now? So I gave him his scarf & Mo gave him his movie, when he said "I like this movie" she stopped herself from saying I know haha. We got more hugs. I also called William a slacker which he eventually gave into haha. I noticed that we always get hugs... not so much for everyone else. Maybe cuz we know them lol.

So then we're like around the fence talking to one of the boys in Armor who remembers us and he's like "Have you seen this bald guy?" "Oh, you're manager?" *confused face* "Yea, him." I'm like ohh last I saw he was on bus haha. So he goes searching and then random guy pops of TAI bus and Armor's merch boy pops out. "We're like do you know where Ben is?" Then he gives us the third fucking degree like we're fucking groupies even though every one that fucking walks past knows us! So merch boys friend is all "why do I keep seeing you guys around?" "dude go get him" "tell him those black girls from DC needs to see him" "dude, don't say black! But go get him" hahahahahahahahhahaha.

So Ben pops off the bus, turns out everyone was lying to us about Ben's whereabouts all night, but not the kids we know. The randoms who we asked haha. So Ben gets off the bus, and we give him a magazine, and he's like oh oh can we keep in touch!? So I give him my email since he asked and he's like we def. have to keep in touch!! We're like oh you have to initiate that haha! So pictures were taking. I throw my line out about "Oh, heard you're playing Halo" Yea, that shit wasn't caught. Eh it's whatever. Next time you're in town...

So I grab William around his cute little waste to tell him we're leaving. He's all like OMG! It's your birthday to Mo haha. It was cute, he was SO excited. Everyone is all upset that it's our last day and are like oh we'll def be back soon, and we better see you!

So we finally head out because we took care of everything we needed to take care of, even though on the ride home we remembered shit we had to say. hahah. Oh well, next time... We've made friends with fucking everyone basically lol. I would go to this tour every fucking day if I could. I better see those boys wearing the shit I bought them haha, we're gonna be these kids Baltimore friends haha. For the record, next time I'm playing some fucking Halo hahaa.

Stopped at BK gas station, women working is funny & gave me extra food. Ended up crashing at Mo's for a few hours cuz she's tired. When I walked into the bathroom I was like LOLZ!!! Flashbacks lol.

We're going to try to pretend everything's okay... It is I mean, I'm just stressed. I told Zack all that info. I hope Mo can do alright also. We talked for a while during the day and I'm hoping I can help her out because there's not been a day she hasn't helped me out.

Day Overall: 9

CAST OF CHARACTERS PART 2

It's the first of November so...

CAST OF CHARACTERS PART 2
(too lazy to change people's descriptions because they haven't changed much in a month)

Monique (she has a blog too!), age 23, sometimes referred to as Mo, or my big sis--one of the three (or four, i dunno) BFFs. Likes random colors, dance parties, her VCR. Hands down, I like her more than you (plain & simple), and about 90% of my posts will involve her. She's the random road trip partner and we have big big plans.

Stephani, age 18--often referred to as Steph--one of the three (or four, i dunno) BFFs. Likes boys in bands (mostly big bands), shopping, her red Saturn. She's my plus one and runs in the middle between me & Allie, she's my local show partner.

Allie, age 19--one of the three (or four, i dunno) BFFs. She likes, boys in plaid, Hollister, and my sweet driving skills. She's the rational one, and thinks more before she let's me and Steph do dumb shit (even though she does haha). More chill than me & Steph, and sometimes will get me and Steph to stay home than party.

Steve, age 20, sometimes referred to as Zapp--my boy BFF! He likes Diesel jeans, his bass, and his friends. He makes me unbelievably happy and a day involving him will most likely automatically be at least a 7. He gives the best hugs ever, and gives me great advice sometimes too late.

Alexa, age 22--sometimes referred to as Ms. Sunshine, my idol haha! She likes random indie bands, road trips, 4am, Denny's, and saying "legit." We talk wayy too much about foolishness at 4am, we kinda don't like Baltimore, but secretly we do, and we like ourselves enough for everyone even if we're "not important" haha.

Mandy, age 21--she's that black bitch! She likes her camera, road trips, boys in makeup, random hair colors. I love her and she's blacker than me. We have dance parties when we see each other weekly and she's got a temper on her. It's a red head thing, she's fiesty haha!

Michelle, age 24, sometime referred to as Emochelle, but not by me haha. She likes sticky passes & laminates, alcohol, straight hair, and herself (but in a good way). She's been around more often recently, or maybe I have, who knows. But I like seeing her face & the silly as hi she says. She's awesome, and I'm glad I'm her friend because she's fierce to kids she don't like.

Zack, age 23(?), bass player in The Carbon Kin, and I don't think I text anyone besides Mo more. He likes vests, alcohol & puns. He's a cool kid and a little nuts. Never boring though definitely. I'm a big fan of seeing his face and has been around more often, but not enough, which is why he only gets brief mentions.

Maybe next month I'll start using photos. I'm far too lazy right now & have an exam to study for. Oh and don't forget that if you have a gmail account at all you can comment my blog & any blog on blogger.
