"Take The Cord From The Phone, I Am Dining Alone"

So Saturday I woke up still pissed at Stephani. Text Mo and pick & Steph up among various other tasks. They're chatting it up about Jeff's the night before, I was still angry and really didn't even feel like hearing it.

Stops included McDonalds, Walmart, Sams Club, and Giant. Yay for real grocery stores. I got all kinds of food and spent dumb money, like $100 or so on food, drinks and silverware. So I drop Mo off late, then me & Steph went to the mall and purchased dresses for the night. I got this adorable aqua dress. Hey everyone! Where are all the pictures from my dinner!? I gotta show everyone what they missed, duh.

So we rush back to my house around 3:30 and I start frantically cooking. Steph goes upstairs to shower and change and my mommy helps her get ready because my mommy kept bugging me in the kitchen haha. teph comes down and helps out with the final things. Party gets unofficially moved to 6PM, and everyone trickles in and we put the appetizers out, which everyone enjoys, and I show everyone how awesome shrimp and sweet & sour sauce are. (I'll post the full menu at the end because I don't feel like saying it all several times).

So Mo arrives then leaves again so we can't start without her. Miraculously all the food was cooked in an hour & a half. So she comes back with my surprise! WOOO! Confetti with my name on it, and cute party decorations and table clothes! It was super dooper exciting, everyone got there own little name tags and assigned seating.

Guests In Attendance: Stephani, Monique, Geo, Alexa, Mandy, Jeff, Joe, Jen, Kevin, Zack, Geoff. People missing includes: Laurie, Steve, Michelle, and Devin, and don't forget Timmy. Who has dropped significantly lower on my favorite members of The Hint scale hahahah (even though he was already last).

So after the first course is done, Mo helps me serve the main dish, Geoff getting the most because he was super dooper hungry haha. Then I believe we have drinks at this point, which were super dooper. Monique & Steph got me this awesome cookie cake, which was so exciting because I don't eat cake, I even got my own singing candle! I love my best friends. I did forget to make a wish, so thankfully Mo took another picture so I could make one! :). So then it's dessert time! The whole process to pass out drinks and plates and food was so great haha. 12 people packed around a table thats supposed to sit 8. It was a good time haha.

So we sit around the living room chatting then Kevin and Zack head out. Next to go is Geoff & Jeff, who we were upset that they were leaving until we realized that we were gonna play ImaginIff, and it has a 8 player limit haha. So after they left we played the game which took some time to understand but we got the hang of it. Alexa was having a serious issue with the game ahahah, which was quite entertaining. Stephani got the most unnanimous answers lol, and Mo knows me much better than I know me. The game is awesome and me & Mo are gonna play it with some band lol.

So Jen & Joe head out, then Geo & Steph. So me, Alexa, Mandy & Mo just sit around reading all the cards for a while, LOL @ one that I still can't tell Stephani yet lol. So around midnight everyone heads out and I stay up til about 1:30 vacuuming, cleaning & doing dishes. House was pretty much back to normal by the time I was done, my mommy even complimented me on my cleaning in the morning.

Oh and to the kids that weren't invited or missed it, here's what you missed:

"I'd Still Pick My Friends Over You"

So Saturday I woke up and decided I was hungry. Monique was as well, so I hopped in the car and picked her up and we went to Denny's. Our license plate had been stolen which I didn't know about until my daddy called me to let me know haha oh well.

Hadn't been to Denny's in the morning in quite a while, so I forgot they have a real menu hahhaah. After Denny's we head to the mall because Mo wanted to buy some things, and I sucked for not letting her buy all the stuff she didn't need hahaha. My mommy called me asking me why I wasn't home yet, although I wasn't told to come home. Ugh, whatevers haha.

So stop by the bank then dropped Mo off and went home and gave Jeffrey his food. Hop online and Mo IMs me telling me she's dumb :(.

So my rents weren't home when I got home and I can't really remember what I did, I think I sat around and watching TV and played around the computer for a while. My mommy gets home and starts yelling abut dumb shit so I clean up the entire house in roughly a half hour. Steph gets here, we get prettied, then hop in the car to go to Westminster.

We don't get lost so I'm quite proud of us, I did decide I hate Westminster roads though. They're all dark and winding and the speed limit is dumb high, eww. So the show isn't bad. Decent amount of people. It was nice to see The Hint, kinda missed those boys. Found out about Dropout Year's drama before I could even walk into the door basically. Said hi to Dan, he looks good. Alexa's there and it's always nice to see her. That one band is really hot.

The Hint was amazing on stage, besides the one screw up. Me & Steph started a dance party to the Backstreet Boys. "We wanna dance with the Scene Trash girls" these two adorable girls said to us. Joe gave me a shout out on stage, so that was awkward and cool :D. Just Surrender was great on stage also. Chatted up with Dan who called Monique "moniquey freaky" which deserved a phone call definetely. We also found out that Just Surrender would not be around for our part of their tour which upset me greatly because there was another idea out the window.

Hotspur's set was a good time, and I flirted with Joe & Cooper for a good while chilling behind their table. I feel really comfortable around those boys, I wish they were around more often.

So when the show's over we say our byes and it's so hard to say bye to everyone. I also ask everyone if they have any food allergies so I don't go killing my friends haha. Finally said bye to friends, oh and I gave JS the magazine which was good.

So I'm outside waiting for Steph for about 10 minutes, freeeeezing. A good portion of the night was spent trying to figure out if there was anything going on for the night, and we came up with a big fat nothing. So we get back to my house and I'm laying on the couch falling asleep and Steph wakes me up saying we're going to Jeff's. I'm like, who's gonna be there? She's like The Hint, and Will and Kim. I'm like who the fuck is Kim, and why am I getting up to see her? She's like, oh more people are supposed to be going to. I'm not trying to have it since I had a.) seen said people all night & b.) was going to see the same people the night after. I saw no reason to rise from sleep to go over.

Leaving me with no choice since Steph was crashing at my house I have to get up and I'm cold & quite tired and angry that I had to get up. We have to climb up the snow covered hill and it's freezing out. I'm texting Mo and complaining, then persist to lay on the bed and watch everyone play drinking games. Geoff Blake came back to talk to me, Will offered me a ride home, and Sara said the quote of the day. For the most part I just wanted to sleep. I was quite tired, obviously.

So eventually Steph's like yea time to go home, and I sleep on the car ride home because I wasn't in the mood to talk to her. Get to my house and she's like I'm gonna go back over to Jeff's and sleep at home, and at this point I'm so fucking mad because the reason I woke up and went was because she was sleeping at my house and someone would have to let her in, which unfortunately would be me, so I had no option but to go. But then she decides to sleep at home which means I could have stayed asleep and happy. But whatever, I don't know what I expect sometimes.

So I call Mo and tell her how upset I am when I get home then I eventually crash in a really bad mood. Awesome night, huh?

"The Neighbors Have Complained Damn Near Every Night"

Oh I had a good Friday. I just checked to see what I did. Woke up and my computer was fucked for various reasons, so it spent 3 hours or so trying to fix that. Then I spent another two hours trying to get my hair to look like it used to in this picture, so I washed and conditioned it. Ugh, I was so thoroughly frustrated all day. Eventually it didn't look that bad, but I was still annoyed.

Couldn't figure out what I wanted to wear for the night and eventually figured it all out, while watching Jersey Girl "i was told only married girls show their girl parts to boys"

So eventually gmail went silly and my mommy came home, and Steph came over, and I did the dishes then we headed to the aquarium. We get there without even getting lost at all, I was proud of us and my paying attention skills haha.

So we get up there and it's like $16 for admission, the movie, and the dolphin show, woooo! Get inside and grab some food in the cafeteria and it reminds me of Atlantic City.

So I got a cheeseburger because I had been craving one, and Steph got chicken strips which I shared with her. So we had to rush to the movie. I vaguely remember Mo mentioning something about the movie but didn't remember. It's a 4D movie and shit tickles your legs and water spits out at you and all kinds of shit. I don't know how little kids handle it cuz I was terrified something was gonna grab me the whole time lol.

So then we head out and go see the froggies while waiting for the dolphin show. So dolphin show starts and we sit NOT in the splash zone. We felt super bad for the dolphins in the back that no one plays with hahaha.

We sat behind some annoying ass kids and Steph took some pics & videos for Mo since she couldn't be there because of more wedding stuff lol. So after the dolphin show which was hella cute, we walked through all the exhibits and saw some random scene kids, and these two cute boys.

The one cuter friend was talking about how the animals aren't stuck, they're just dancing, and I agreed. His friend & and Steph both looked at us like we were stupid. I kept telling Steph how cute the boys were but she wasn't trying to stop and talk so we didn't.

Stephani made it through the sharks and I was proud of her. They sensed her fear though haha.

So then we headed out and went to my house because Mo wasn't home yet. I think we might have gotten some food. So the n we go to pick up Mo and go to Devin's apartment.

So we get over there then take a field trip to the liquor store, we stroll on in and I don't get carded (just for walking in), but Steph does haha.

So back to Devin's and he shows me his room and I play a shitty game of water pong (beer pong is unsanitary). Play some Nintendo, cop shows up because evidently we're too loud haha. Whatever, it's just the 4 of us listening to some Audition.

So we sit in Devin's and he tries on his wedding attire, and e look at his positions calendar, which is the greatest thing to me & Steph. We had a few favorites, saw a few hiding places and heard a few... stories hahaha.

We cuddled up with Devin and watch Rob & Big while all talking about shit. It was prettty nice, Monique & Devin were thoroughly intoxicated, ahaha.

So we don't leave until 2 which is Stephani's curfew as we all know, so she was late of course ahah. We dropped Mo off and then she dropped me off and sped on home.

It was a nice night. Most fun I've had without going to a show in a while. Sometimes all I need is good friends (and The Audition ahahhahaha).

Quote of the Day: "Awww, cute Devin thinks we have integrity."

"And I'm Sorry My Conscience Called In Sick Again"

Forgot to mention this before but Delicious left me a birthday comment, woooo!

Anyway, I couldn't remember what I did for a good portion of the day but I did get up and eat cheesecake & vitamin water. Sweeeet breakfast, kids!

I got online and talked to Monique. YNot come inside!? ahahaha. We discussed Jimmity Cricket Human, and my lack of said person, well mine is Monique. Wonder if it's weird that cults fascinate me, and that I like that people wanna get me trashed... I guess that sounds worse than it seems. Oh and I'm actually not allowed to break edge though because I cant repeat the cycle (the cycle of breaking edge at 18).

Ohhh I think I slept after work...

Oh I went to work, James Larson stopped by and asked me to do work in which I am not allowed to do until that Friday. Can't really remember what else occurred at work, my father did pick me up afterwards though, and I sat around my living room with my mother watching the news & eating my left over porkchops.

I believe I took a nap around 7 and was up I guess around midnight. I talked to Mo online, my computer is slowly dying sadly and I attempted to fix it. I also commented BQ & Tony and got awesome comments back.

I posted a really sappy bulletin about wanting to see a certain boy, even though I knew very well that he wouldn't see it...

Mo: lol you're such a girl
Me: hahahaaha i know, and i accepted that long long ago.
Mo: then rubbed off on me
Mo: ew

So Mo crashed around 2:30 and I was up for a good while, trying to savage my dying computer by defraging before I crashed.

"I'm Eighteen and Live a Crazy Life"

So I wrote this whole entry then it got deleted, so I was frustrated, which is why I haven't blogged in so long. So this is gonna be shorter than the original one.

Since I have no car of course, most of my birthday was spent laying around my house. I sold some books on ebay, and chatted with Monique. Monique is super excited it's my birthday. Far more than I was, because as I stated, I was so over it. I did make Mo's hour because as O-Town says... "we fit together."

I had woken up to more texts and calls, more comments, and IMs, but my other best friend was still MIA, and I was sad :(. Eventually I got an awesome singing text message from Stephani who felt super bad that she didn't call at midnight.
Jeffrey Hurn moved up on my favorite members of The Hint ladder, now he's tied with Joe because Joe compared me to orange juice :D.

Myspace pissed me off because I had to change my privacy settings now that I'm 18. Shit's still friends only, lurkers. Monique left me a super cute comment and it's now on my profile page.

I was off work so at 12 I believe I took a nap, my daddy called to wish me a Happy Birthday :D. So I needed to mail some books to the post office, which I was gonna do before Steph got there but she arrived while I was leaving with a blinking happy birthday tiara, and balloons, wooooo!

So she hops in my car and we go to the Post Office, and I mail some shit, it was a fun experience for Steph since it was all automated haha.

Back home while listening to Metro Station in the car, and it's time to go to The Cheesecake Factory where we decided we were going to the aquarium on Friday. So I got the porkchops & our waiter was kinda stuck up. Steph had some gross tasting mango tea that tasted like soap. I swear they just didn't wash the cup ahaha. Bill came to $120 dollars for the 5 of us.

Get back home & we lay around watching Project Runway until Mo finished at the wedding rehearsal or dinner or whatever. So around 10:45 Mo picks us up and we go to the 24 hour Walmart!

Steph might have had more fun than me with the automated lights. We know where to take her for her birthday haaha. We wander in the food section, then books and magazines. Monique is frustrated by Men's magazine, then there's great fun had with the toy section. Me & Steph almost took out a whole aisle playing frisbee haha.

Eventually I buy Imaginiff, and some vitamin water, about 2 hours later I believe. Hop back int he car, Mo drops us off and we part ways. I'm gonna buy Mo a robopanda, but not the scary one.

I felt so drained at the end of the night because I felt like i have so much to do, and it's all dependent on someone or something else and I hate dependency. So then Mo crashed and I felt bad because her away message said she had some issues to work out so I felt o selfish for talking about myself :(.

Overall my birthday wasn't terrible. (You can read the bulletin about it if it's still up). I love Monique for trying so hard to make sure I had a good day, what would I do without that chick?! :)

Quote of the Day: "you apologize to tired stressed out christine that wants a break and to just be 18 for once cause one day she's gonna beat your ass and imma watch. then call a shrink"

"Leaving You To Be Forever Seventeen"

So I get up and get on the interweb around 9. Monique indirectly or I guess directly called me hot and/or good looking so that was exciting but I had to comfort her slightly like the good friend I am. Chat with her until 10, then it's nap time.

My mommy picks me up for work and I'm becoming progressively more upset that my birthday is looming around the corner since I have no plans, making it the worst birthday week.

So off work and realize I need to register to vote tonight thanks to Ms. Mo. Get super upset at my father for coming so late.

Rush home & music print out the form then speed off to the post office with no music playing and no heat. It was that serious. Made it there just in time to see the crazy Post Office cashier and wait in line for about 20 minutes. I made it there at 6:28.

So left the post office and put some heat and music on finally. Then I remember going home. Can't remember... and I was thoroughly bitter with life at this point and I forgot to eat because I was angry at life. I tried to watch One Tree Hill but it confused me because I missed an episode.

So around 10, I'm sooo done with the night even though before I was planning to stay up til 12:30, but seeing as I had no plans for my fucking birthday eve I saw no point in being awake anymore, especially after Mo signed off after being all sketchy...

Me: where are you going?
Mo: lol shhh
Mo: just go with it
Mo: you say ahhhh. i say shhh to you
Mo: they look at us funny. we say just go with it to them
Me: then i say... hi i'm christine.
Me: cuz it'll be before we meet them lol
Mo: ROFLMAFO

So I text Mo around 11 and say I'm done with it and attempt to go to bed, Mo isn't having it and continues to text me. Eventually I dose off anyway because I threw my phone on the other side of the bed.

So around 11:55 it rings and I'm like ugh, I guess I'll answer that. It's Mo. "Hey what are you doing!?" "Laying in my bed." "Aww. Come open your door!" So I arise from my bed to find Monique & Rae at my door with balloons & flowers. I was hoping Steph would be with Mo, but no, not so much. Steph was MIA. But I was excited to have flowers, because no one has ever given me flowers ever! Rae was quite surprised by this ahah.

So at this point my phone had about 9 text messages since it had hit midnight, I wa over my birthday already so didn't care to answer. Mandy called me to make sure I was awake when Mo came over, and Alexa tried.

Rae really liked my house and she also said the quote of the day. They let about a half hour later after I told them about the crazy ass sick lady at work, which I forgot to talk about yesterday but whatever I don't want to relive that again lol.
Mo started looking at my text messages for me because i was up to like 12. Rae was like awww you're so popular! I never knew people actually liked me.

I believe I had ice cream sometime during the day since I didn't have it the day prior and I was still in bed early because I was still jaded and done with the day. Monique was still quite excited for my birthday and felt bad that she had to be all sketchy and that I wasn't having a good birthday. So then I felt bad for making her feel bad...

Day Overall: 5

"And Oh So Tired Of Being Sick"

Sent Mo a message about leap year & she gets all confused. So I have to fill her in about what I was talking about. We discussed a certain boys flaws.

I make some phone calls, and finally shit starts to go somewhere. Chat with Paul from You, Me & Everyone We Know for a bit, and since I'm dumb sick my mommy lets me lay in her warm bed. :D

So around 1:20 I hop in the car and drive to work. Being a bit early I wander a bit with Geo, I think. Get asked if I can cover the night shift but i was sick & not trying to have that.

Work is worky & since I deleted my messages finally because I couldn't send out new messages. So these next few entries are gonna be quite short but eh oh well, whatevs.

After work I sat arund my house being uber sick watching television with my mommy, then Mo came over and brought me homemade soup! WTF has your best friend done for you lately!?

So she abruptly had to depart to meet this cute kid... so I went downstairs & napped on the couch, and watched nothing music really since One Tree Hill wasn't on like it was supposed to.

Eventually I was in bed, but I was supposed to make sure Mo was asleep by midnight unless their was a good reason not to be hahah. So I get a call from her while she's on the way home to tell me about her night, and the quote of the day was said, but since I can no longer remember it, I'll go with...

"So Sick, So Sick Of Being Tired"

Sunday morning I woke up dumb sick (the stress caught up with me), so I hopped int he car and drove to Walmart since the rents left me & my very sick brother to our own devices. Spent $25 in medicine & tissues and other thing. Waited on texting Mo besides a response because I knew she was prob asleep.

Mo felt super sooper bad that I had a bad night, and I would have loved to go to IHOP but I had to take care of my little brother. Watched Sky High in the living room with him and he looked so miserable :( I felt so bad for him.

Today marked the day me & Mo found out we're pitiful (hahaha, no pun intended). We don't date. So Mo calls me after she gets home and tells me all about it. I also get a text from Joey and ask how DE was.

I took a nap for a while and texted Mo. Got online & chatted with Alexa about blogs, for the record I'm 17 not 16, then texted the roommate to figure out when I can move back into the dorms.

I call up Steph and we talk for a while about everyone and their bad situations haha.
"Mo says i need to find a boy all to myself."
"So a boyfriend?"
"Ew, no. A ______... without the girlfriend
"So a boyfriend?
"NO! subtract the commitment."
"You guys are basically dating."
"No, no we're not. When i'm in random state and some cute boy who was previously on stage goes 'where's your boyfriend' and i say oh i don't have one. Then i say oh shit, no... i do have one... that's a problem for me, I'm not a cheater. So no, not a boyfriend. The boy I come home to after said boy with instrument."

Mo gets home and I chat with her about the show. I told her about mine & Steph's discussion on Friday night about a certain boy "she was like poor ______ used to be such a happy person. he used to be like HEYYYYYYYYYY! now he's like... hello."

Oh I wiki-ed date. Me & Mo are pitiful. "is the act of going out on dates whereby one person socializes with a potential lover using a process that involves scheduled, usually exclusive, meetings of two people with mutual interest in one another." I also ruin everything, which is why Mo said the quote of the day.

Monique's gonna filter boys for me since I suck at picking boys for myself. I did some equuations for her like... Monique + BF = Good. Christine + Boyfriend = Bad. Boyfriend > Band Boy. Wooo!

Then OH FUCKING SHIT!!! Best tour ever! You don't even know! March is looking UPPPP! I got sad that Mo won't be at the show Saturday but I'll see her after. So things are in motion to plan my party again, and Mo goes to bed.

Mo: ty
Me: for what?
Mo: farewell
Mo: and ______
Mo: and being a friend
Mo: like golden girls

So I start talking to Alexa to figure shit out. Around 4 I crash, content because things seem to be going right! :D

"Smile Like You Mean It"

So Saturday's blog was originially this, because I was angry:

You know sometimes I wonder if I love band boys because I only see them 4 times a year. That's not why... I love band boys because they're happy. I like happy people.

People who live their dream inspire me, it gives me motivation to persevere. I need to make sure I don't hit my peak anytime soon because I still have a lot of growing to do.

Today I found myself not only craving to see those boys on tour, but the boys that I get to see every weekend, unlike a lot of people I saw tonight, they always have a reason to smile. I missed all my best friends because they're a walking reminder of every good thing in my life.

But seeing as it was an eventful day, I guess I should recap the whole thing. I woke up around 7 and made an itinerary for my day. Post Office, Walmart, Bank #1, Bank #2, Office Depot, Best Buy, Movies.

So I embarked to the Post Office and mailed a few text books, then to Walmart to buy a game for my little brother. Drove up to Loch Raven to deposit 250 in my Savings Account, boy working at the bank was kinda cute. Then I went over to the Giant in Loch Raven to deposit $125 in my Checking Account. BALLLLLIN'!

So head over to Office Depoot and the boy that's working there is flirting with me. He was quite ugly but kept me entertained for an hour so it was okay. Magazines are printed and go off without a hitch. I'm finishing up and get a phone call from Monique.

DELICIOUS IS GOING TO BE ON AP TOUR!

Yes, shit's that serious. It made my week, at least. Then I heard some more great stories about the night prior including kick cop Sam! WOO! Hahaha. Oh her on Friday night, bugging me while the Hint is on. Not to everyone, unless you're Monique or shit is dire there's no reason to bug me while The Hint is playing...

So then quick trip to Best Buy to buy one more thing for my brother then to the movies with Ebony & Monique. I did all this before 10:30 in the morning. Be impressed.

Movie was awesome, scared the shit out of me at times. Mo brought me vitamin water! I bought her argyle socks the day before. Got home from the movie, daddy hitting me up telling me he needs the car. I call Mo so she can fill me in on the rest of the night, and I get the text message from Mo after the phone call that helped spawned something serious hahaha, thank you T-mobile.

My dad pieced around 2, and I was stuck at home with no food. So i ordered Dominos online so I can pay with credit. Thanks, Mo! Spent the day folding & stapling magazines, then day turned to night and it was time to go to that show. I drove to Hamilton for the first time.

Get to the show and stop outside to say hi to Meg. Kyle was outside with her also as well as a few random kids that I vaguely know, def. not on name basis. Spawns this conversation about me...

Kyle: Wow, you're actually here?
Random Girl #1: She's always here.
Random Girl #2: Yea she always gets here really late though.
Random Girl #3: Yea, Halloween she was here for only The Hint.
Random Girl #1: Yea, I remember that...

No, seriously... I can't make that shit up.

So inside I get magazines to who need magazines, talk to who needs to be spoken to. Saravain goes off and i realize I'm bored out of my mind. Decide I wanna go home but didn't feel like hoping in the car and going home and coming back SOOO I go over to Dunkin Donuts and chat with Michael and some other less important people.

Go back inside for the 2nd or 3rd time, ha, I've got money haha. Make Steve listen to Metro Station and we chat for a while about a bunch of things. Eventually just chill at the table as i gave him a back massage.

Me: *As he lets several people in* Gosh, Will, why don't you ever say 'Oh she's cool.'?
Will: Wait, did you pay to get in?
Me: Yes.
Will: hahahaha, That's stupid.

Thanks Will hahaa.

So inside for Larkin Call or Calling or whatever. They're wearing hoodies and matching fitted caps, and DUNKS! How cute!? Dance around to Motion City between sets and one of the kids in Larkin Call was singing behind me, so i turned around and we danced. It was a good time. Til he was tainted. Ali was trying to get with Tony. Meg was on the chair and for the most part, the night sucked. I can't stand Mir with Ben singing. Not because ben is a bad singer, because I know he's quite talented, but because I just like Mir's sound without a singer. Zack & Kevin agreed. Oh after Summer So Far's set, Steve left, but was impressed with thier live show like I said he'd be.

I wish I went to Delaware to see The Hint & Capitol Risk. Someone remind me that's a better option whenever nights like this occur. Called up Geoff when I got home to make sure he told Tony we said hi. Oh! I need to leave BQ a comment! I told Mo I had a bad night, she was having a great time and I was happy for her. She was also smashed in DC haha. "We'l ahng out fdor yuour birtyhjdsauj this week no worreid." So I posted my angry blog soon after that and crashed.

"Guess I'll Hang Out With My Friends And I know We'll End Up At A Show"

So I woke up Friday morning dumb early to get shit done. Start to pro read the magazine, and Mo texts me, because she decides she wants to see Just Surrender. Decided on private basement party! Wooooo!

So start printing the magazine. Get a random party invite from a random number. Then my mommy picks me up for work. Can't remember what I did or what time I got off work. Jeremy from Derby Lane texted me and asked me to be at Phoenix on the first, which might be possible.

I finished selling all my books online on ebay! Which made me enough money to buy all my books back, so that's exciting.

So I text Stephani the itinerary for the day, and Geo & Natalie visit my desk, then Monique shows up, wooooo! So Stephani is supposed to be at the mall early because she had to do some shopping while I'm at work. Geo and I are both quite impatient. So Geo phones up Steph. "Yo bitch! Where the fuck are you? We're gonna go to the bathroom and I'm gonna do you." HILARIOUS.

She finally gets there right when I'm about to get off work, and we all go on a journey around the mall to various places like Torrid & Wet Seal.

So then we head down to Starbucks, and Mr. Lombardi walks up. That is still one adorable kid, he also said the quote of the day. So go him haha. So we head out and go to Walmart, me & Steph and Geo. I cash my paycheck, and Geo peaced, me & Steph went to Office Depot, and I made half my copies before I decided I had to get home because show was soon.

So I get home and dressed and look cute. Can't remember what I wore anymore though ahaha. Hop in the car and we get there. It's cold but I have my ear muffs & big coat so I'm good. Steph, on the other hand, is freaking lol.

So we get inside and there's bunches of people. I get Mo's plus one, so yay for that. Devin complimented my hair :). So inside Burning Rosewood is getting on stage. Say hi to a bunch people that I don't like that much, but they're worth a hi.

Mo & Devin peaced out, so I'm supposed to let he know when The Hint goes on. I texted her to ask for food, and I'm like, "Monique, are you drunk?" "Yup! On the way waitin for pizzas dfdthye be done" Hahahaha, love it. I knew exactly what it said. Dancing around with Steph, security Joe and his new friend decided I need a spotlight on my dancing. They stood behind me for a while.

Monique gets back about two songs in with pizza and it's yummy. Dancing around, The Hint was amazing. Say bye to the boys and other kids worthy of that. People asking why we're leaving so soon but stopping themselves from saying you're not going to revel!?

So me & Steph head out and Joe fresh off stage is like, Where are you going!? When I age by 4 years I'll meet you downstairs. Get home & text Mo for a while before I crash.

Day Overall: 7, I just had a really good time at the show :D. Dancing with best friends, woo!

Welcome to Step One...

"I've Got Nothing To Lose But Myself"

Thursday was supposed to be print day, but the weather did not want to cooperate, sadly. So not so much. Woke up dumb early and looked up some shit. Oh I woke up so early to finish the magazine which I did. Metro Station write up and their review. Hello, new obsession. Pretty sure I listened to Kelsey a dumb amount of times.

Got a phone call from Steph which is how I found out it was raining. Had a hell of a time getting to work with crappy roads, my mommy's car was making all kinds of weird noises, so I was about a half hour late for work.

Work work work workity work. Got a text from Louis, he told me he was proud of me :D. I texted Mo a bit, and the staff. Got some awesome emails.

Off work, and I hang around the house when my daddy picked me up. Woke Mo up by accident talking about Person L, might have taken a nap.

Got online to watch "Make Me A Supermodel" with Mo. Show sucks so hard and I love it haha. Random ass message from Joey! He basically tells me Happy Birthday and that I remind him of Orange Juice.

Mo felt like she should stage an intervention because I'm a workaholic. My brain was freaking out because I was done the magazine. I also had some icecream! That reminds me, I want some of that.

Alexa: who seriously has that much time?
Me: lmao 14 year olds lol
Me: who secretly love pete
Alexa: obviously someone who does not run an ezine or promotions company

Devil Wears Prada made me sad because people that get their dream always seem so unhappy, and I should start dressing nicer, even though I already do. Had alot of breakthroughs this night. Mo said "you need someone you can have to yourself legit." I realized I'm probably in love with someone, I realized I like to take care of people, boys especially.

I like learning about myself. I really like myself, and Monique! I really like her too! :D

Day Overall: 6

Quote of the Day: "Why do I remind you of orange juice?" "No idea. I love orange juice tho."

"Go To Heaven for the Weather, But To Hell To Sell your Soul"

Wednesday morning, I can't really remember what i did. But I do remember waking up and going out to check the mail and seeing my mothers car. I'm like wtf, and go upstairs to my mother's room and ask her what she was doing? She's home sick so i take care of her the best way i can. Steph comes to pick me up to go to work.

Steph hangs around my desk for about an hour & a half haha before going to Longhorn to get her paycheck then back to my desk haha. I chat with Mo and she's sick and I feel bad. We didn't say hit o our best friend, Armor's manager at the show, so we're gonna have to on the Saves The Day tour hahaha Great shows are getting announced left & right, oh and I showed Mo my resume I finally made.

So we head home after wandering the mall a bit and grabbing food (I think). Hang around my house and watch Wife Swap and Supernanny because it was a Gossip Girl repeat. Around 9:30 I figured out that my body was trying to tell me to slow down. Which explains the cold this week.

Me: i'm all hot, and my tummy hurts and my head hurts real real bad
Me: and i feel exhausted :-(

So Stephani took me to McDonalds, because the best friends said I needed food. Came back and watched Project Runway and stumbled across my New Year's Resolution from last year. Goal's accomplished. Taled to Mo online for a while and walked Steph out around midnight. My 11:11 wish came true!

I made a huge mistake because I suck, but it was resolved semi quickly. i did my Audition review, evidently I liked that CD much more than some people did. I think it's a good time, and as Alexa's friend put it, "the new soundtrack to teenage pregnancy." hahahah.

I remember talking to Alexa for a while, and didn't crash til pretty late in the night, but i got a good portion of the magazine done in that time.

Day Overall: 6

"I Know My Friends From High School Are Dropping My Name"

Can't remember how my morning begun but I was up dumb early texting Mo. Like 6AM early. I wrote Mo's body a cute text message :D. My body doesn't like me having more than 6 hours of sleep. I probably worked on the new issue alot.

My mommy came to pick me up for work, it's snowing out, and I confused Mo. I got to work an hour early and wandered around the mall for a while. Lots of texting while doing so. I love Hollister! Well not their clothes, but their playlist is every good tour that has rolled through plus a good portion of my CD collection. When I'm having a bad day I just go in and play about 5 songs and then I'm happy again :)

Work is icky but I was looking forward to Armor so it didn't matter. Got a sweet email from Todd saying I'm on the list for the night, mind you I already bought tickets but whatever. Also get an email about the Pac Sun tour, thank you Mike! You always take care of shit haha. I Grabbed some pizza for lunch then Mo & Rae came to get me, and they grabbed some food. I shared Rae's chicken Terieyaki with her, which was sort of the subject of today's quote of the day haha.

So after that we hop in the car and head to Ottobar. Rae's driving scares me, but only a little so it's okay lol. Walk into Ottobar and it's like here's a shitload of flyers for you haaha. uh, made it inside and it's like damn high school reunion, but mostly the kids I like so it's okay. I get questioned about hte wheareabouts of my Asian friend. She wasn't allowed to come because Ottobar is in a bad neighborhood haha.

So the show's a good time, we get there for the end of fairgreen's set. Summer So Far's live show is impressive and scary. the presence of certain boys was a good time haha. There set is over, Four year Strong is so fun to watch because boys get soooo excited for them. I mean it's just about the cutest thing I've ever seen. So I'm chatting it up with Laurie at this point, but been talking to everyoe a bit. It was good to just be around.

LOL at Mo's reaction, but we run into Ben inside and give him his gifts, big hugs! :D He's happy to see us and it makes me happy haah.

Armor's sets a good time, and boys are silly. Never seen someone kicked out of Ottobar before haha. Lots of dancing and I had a great time. Hearing "Williamsburg" live will never ever get old for the record. They're coming back soon with Saves the Day but shhhh it's a secret. Wooooo! Metro Station.

So we head out and say bye to Ben, then me, Mo, Rae & Alexa go to Denny's and meet up with Alexa's friends. I love Renee, i got two orders of breaded shrimp and they were magnificent! Also drank a whole lot of lemonade. Make it home by 12:30 or so, and in bed soon after. The show took a lot out of me.Oh I did talk to Lou. His dog died :( It made me sad.

"You Won't Be There To Say I'm Not Allowed To"

So after getting bunches of work done, I also got something I'd been waiting for for a few days. It was gloomy out and cold but I just got my coat back from the dry cleaner so yay!

I decided I want a Caleb, but everyone already beat me to it. Get some work done, then my mommy pick me up around 12:15. I decided I want to have a dinner party for close friends for my birthday before my big party in the Spring. So I sent out all the invites because it's a JLGL, I also sent out emails for interview requests.

Believe I got a few visitors at work and me being the nice person I am covered Tameka's shift because she broke her leg, causing me to be at work until 9:45.

The Daily Chorus list is up so I'm super excited and I check all day. Also sent out an email to a certain band thanks to Ms. Mo's help.

I chatted with Amber from security for a while and did silly things all night because I was bored, including dancing, because the shit playing in my head was bumpin' Monday night.

Ran into a kid from my old neighborhood who I gave $5 to so he could buy dinner. Later he walked past me with his food and looked soo happy about having something to eat, so I felt good abut myself.

I get home and my daddy lies to me about buying McDonalds so I was all bitter & hungry. So I was ticked and crashed around midnight.

"Visit You At Baskin Robbins All The Time"

"Good morning, best friend." That was my text to Ms. Mo in the morning.

By the time my rents got home the night previous, I crashed, so my rents didn't get up til late, which of course meant no church wooo! I managed to cut my finger & pop a pimple and make it bleed all in the same weekend.

My mommy asked if I wanted to go get my hair done. Sure, I say. While I wait for my mommy I listen to Sherwood, then we go to the Dundalk to find phone/Zune covers. Too bad we don't have cash lol. Credit cards haha. Mommy & daddy bought McDonalds for us, wooo!

Around 5 I go to pick up Ms. Mo, and I get scared because I forgot to buy gas, but I made it there. Then I grabbed Mo and we listened to All Time Low all night because that was the type of mood i was in.

We went to DQ, and I treated Mo to icecream :D, stopped by Walmart and picked up some things. I get a phone call from Ryan Larson and how I'm missing their show. I also get a phone call from Stephani so we stop by there and watch Batman for a while until I remember there's icecream in the trunk.

So I drive Mo home and it's raining out. Listening to more All Time Low and I tell her which songs are from which CDs.

So I drop Mo off and did a three point turn out in abut 12 points lol. Get home alright without hitting anything, wooo!

Get home & check my MySpace, silly messages, and one from Tony, woo! Chatted with Mo until her computer went all stupid at 10.

It was deadline day so I got to work, and worked for about 5 hours straight and got a whole lot done. I think I crashed around 1 or so?

"We're Falling Apart To Songs About Hips and Hearts"

I wake up in the morning and go to the potty after realizing Mary is chilling next to me. Mo text me telling me she had a weird dream about me. I don't know why I'm always the slutty one, gosh lol.

So I get Steph up and we make a shopping run to the grocery store. Buy some breakfast food and Ms. Terry cooks for us while we watch American Beauty.

Eventually I decide I want to go home, so Steph drives me and I cannot remember what I did when I got home, but I did have a piece of chicken and txt Tyler.

End up not having to go out with my rents so I text Steph and make plans for the night. Mo's having fun at the zoo, go her!

Tyler stops by and gives me tickets, and I get cute to go to the show. Steph picks me up and we get there without getting lost!! Find out that Capitol Risk isn't playing and I was severely upset. That is until a cute boy with long hair sees me and gives me a huge hug. Victor is just as cute as ever, and we cuddle up together on the coach for a while. I like it when boys are happy to see me. He give me his number so we can hang out sometime soon.

Night seems to drag on a bit and I feel bad when PPR calls me out about not being there to see them. I know I suck. I never want our bands to feel unloved. Apathy went on and soon after it's time to go after a big hug goodbye.

We get home and still didn't get lost. I believe we grabbed some food, then Steph dropped me off and I crashed.

"And I Realize I Don't Recognize Anyone But I Don't Mind"

Friday I woke up to a text from Steph Baltimore in dire need of a sound guy, so me being the nice girl I am, helped her call some people and such. This ended up with me & Steph talking half the day away haha.

Random texts and phone calls including Steve, Lando, Pelc, Joe.

AP TOUR DATES ARE ANNOUNCED! A week later something made the tour EVEN better, but I'll get to that.

I call up Stephani because I'm bored out f my mind and needed to get out of my house. Steph couldn't do anything for me til 5 so I called my mommy and requested Popeyes for dinner.

So daddy gets home and I make a Popeyes run and got nervous because the speed limit on Pulaski is 55 at some points. WTF, seriously? I got lost several times but it wasn't too bad, I made it there and back and didn't hit anything, so that's good.

I get home & Steph is chilling in my house waiting for me. We snack on some chicken then head over to her house. We start getting ready for the party and listening to the CDs Steph made.

Brittany and some of her friends show up. I like Mary, she's awesome. Party's going, a few kids show up. Around 10 things are swinging. Fast forward 2 hours and Steph's basement is packed with kids. JAGGERBOMBS! Is being screamed all through the kitchen and it's chaos.

I'm chilling in the den on the phone with Mo and eventually people realize I'm in there and ask if I'm okay, which I was. Steph's daddy comes down to monitor the place soon after.

So more kids show up and drunk ass Mary is excited to meet Monique. Me & Steph show off our Tila Tequila skills haha, and dance around. Monique gets there and meets Mr. Ed.

All of a sudden, basement is packed, Danny was scared when about 10 big black boys roll in hahaha. Britney gets scared that Steph is mad, some silly drama occurs that's not worth talking about.

Eventually there's a sign on the door that is like NO ONE ELSE ALLOWED IN! basically, because evidently Steph's house was the place to be Friday night, people were coming from everywhere, just random ass people.

So around 3:30 after I get Britney changed and tucked in, it's time for everyone t peace, so I kick everyone out and people are trying to question my authority. Bitch please.

Start to clean up which isn't too bad, then a few of us chill in the basement and chat for a while about Tom's phone. "You've got a new message, big boy." Hahahaha.

So eventually we break and spill into our collective beds. I open my eyes and realize that a brunette is in the bed between me & Britney. I thought it was Steph, nope it was Mary haha.

The night was silly and there was a lot of unnecessary drama, and Steph broke some more resolutions but ehh, what's new haha? I hope Brittany had a good birthday party because this was all for her. I had a good time overall though, good way to spend a Friday night.

"Our Time Has Come and We've Got These Big City Dreams"

So I'm up around 9:30 and I can't really remember what I did at all...

I do remember our banner went up on rotation on TDC on Thursday. I think I got some work done online. I did watch the Tyra Banks show according to this bulletin, and wrote two blogs, all by 11AM.

I get some bad news about school that I should really work on this semester. I might have taken a nap afterwards after my mommy got home.

Around 9 I decided I wanted to write my big girl resume, so I hopped to it, harder than I thought, so I stalked down some people with the jobs I want like Mo said and checked out their formats and got jealous.

Watched "Make Me A Supermodel" with Mo, which is a terrible show, and doesn't compare to Top Model but I watch it anyway.

Got some new subscribers! Woo! Which also informs me our order page is screwed up, which I successfully fixed, go me!

Instead of watching The Food Network which I did for far too long I wt upstairs & watched the two eps of One Tree Hill I missed, and it depressed me severely, because everyone that makes it to the top always seems so sad, and I want to grow up to be happy. I need to work on the whole keeping myself happy thing...

But anyway I stayed up a while and finished up my resume before bed. I have a feeling one day someones really going to kill my spirit, because deep down I'm just a wide eyed idealistic teenage girl with big city dreams.

"Pages Of What's For Sale; What's On The Auction Block"

Woke up to another dream on Wednesday, can't remember what it was, but it was 3rd of the week I believe. It was raining that morning with the sun out. It was beautiful.

Get a silly text that I basically blew off because when I'm not working I make plans as I've made it a point to say so often to my co workers.

I got online and discovered that Delicious had our pic with him, me & Mo up and it made me smile. Ended up napping even though I felt I didn't deserve it. Hopped online for a while, selling my books on Ebay, sold one early which was great for about $60.

Waited for the rent to get home and I hopped in the car and drove to the White Marsh post office, which I never knew where it was til that day, made it there without getting lost. I felt like a big girl driving to the Post Office and paying with my Visa card mailing a textbook.

I called up Mo to tell her hat I had accomplished but I woke her up and felt super bad, but she ha to wake up in 15 anyway so it wasn't too bad.

Wife Swap on at 8, love that show. Then Gossip Girl, which I love more, and Project Runway which has the best challenge! Prom dresses, woo! I also wrote a blog.

Mo's home around 1 and had a good time at the show, which is good. After Project Runway went off I watched Nip/Tuck before crashing.

"Don't Wanna Work So Hard Just To Have A Heart Attack"

So I woke up at 9, and I had a bad dream where Steph & Mo died :(. It was really really sad. Texted Mo to tell her.

Then the day brightened up because I found a great new torrent site, woo! I've been looking for a good one since oink closed, so that's really great! I got some CDs I've been meaning to get then updated & charged my Zune, wooo! While downloading I posted two new blogs and got an email about taking over the world, wooo! I love Tim Turner ahaha. I also sold some of my text books online which is great!

Tried to watch 28 Days Later but it freaked me out so off it went haha. So I hopped in the shower, did the dishes and watched this random movie of Lifetime. So my dad's getting on my nerves over the phone while I'm trying to eat, he gets home, mom & dad are about to argue about something dumb, then I hopped in the car and went to work.

Got stuck in stupid traffic so I called Mo, and she told me how much her job sucks. Make it to work about 15 minutes early so I wandered around for a bit and tried to acquire a ticket for Armor for Rae.

Get to work & this crazy guy is being dumb, thank God my boss was there, then me & her talked about why 300 is awesome lol. I got visits from Mandy & some friends from high school I actually liked, but my boss was chilling next to me, so everyone left even though they didn't have to lol.

So from 6:45 to 9:45 I was alone at work, and not much happened. I even wrote a blog, wooo! I didn't even sell a giftcard but I did forget that I have to find a ride to Armor so I begin to work on that.

Off work at 9:45 and hop in the car car and listen to the T's, woooo! Driving behind a student driver, which I didn't mind at all. Mo's trying to figure out who's tour buses are in town. Make it home okay, and texting Mo about how we like different boys and competition wouldn't exist either way, plus I'm a sucker for cute boys and the question "What are you gonna do for it?" is an acceptable one lol.

Get online & make a new weeeeee, evidently I look like a news anchor haha.

Heard about this crappy movie featuring Violet from Jawbreaker:
When people begin exploding from stress, George Washington Winsterhammerman tries to ignore the epidemic and live his usual life, but then he suffers his first symptom.

Which spawned the quote of the day because I'm silly :D

Me & Mo watched part of The Perfect Score together while I ate, and Mo told me how the SATs bored her hahaha. I ended up in bed around 1.

"We'll Hit South Broadway In A Matter Of Minutes"

So I woke up around ten and watched Montel, it was an interesting one about racism. Around 11, I talked to Mo online and hopped in the shower. Around 12:15 Alexa comes over and she didn't even get lost that badly, go her!

So I start using my superb cooking skills to make the Sunny Side Oh Breakfast (haha get it?) while watching Rock Star! Breakfast consisted of Scrambled Eggs with Cheese, Sausage, Bacon, and Chocolate Chip Pancakes, plus alot of orange juice. So we watch all of Rock Star then move onto Eternal Sunshine but I decide I don't want to watch that and move onto American Beuty, which Alexa actually bought for me haha.

So after showing Alexa my All Time Low "The Girl Is a Straight Up Hustler" dance, and discussing all kinds of things including Warped & SWGT it's decided that Alexa is just chilling over heree and when everyone gets off work, we're going out because it's a super nice day. I drop the subscriber magazines in the mail and Alexa is like, You have subscribers!? That's so cool! Haha, it was quite cute.

So after throwing out all kinds of options that are abruptly shot down due to the fact it is Monday and everything in the city basically is closed Monday, we decided on The Harbor, Hooters & The Gallery. So slowly our friends start to trickle in while Alexa guesses all kinds of wrong endings to American Beauty lol.

So I finsh straightening up the house and change into something better than my "I'm Famous in LA" shirt. So we all hop in Alexa's car and go to pick up Mo! On the way there we listened to numerous notable tracks, the best being 2gether, especially me & Steph's meow's during the right parts lol. "I CAN'T BELIEVE I WENT OUT WITH A KLEPTOMANIAC"

So we get to Mo's and che hops in, didn't see our great singalong but she could hear it ahahah. So we're on our way and Mandy puts on "Check Yes Juliet." This, is the most intense sing & dance along ever. The five of us bouncing around in the car, after the fact we realize we should have videotaped it because I def. would have showed the boys the tape.

So Alexa and Mo are arguing with one another about which way to take to get to the Harbor, it's quite an interesting discussion lol, and I decided it would have been better if I drove, and that's saying something lol.

The walk over is great, Mandy, Steph & Alexa decide to link arms. If someone else goes down, I don't want to go down with them, which is why I opted not to link up haha. Alexa almost took me down anyway though ahah, hitting my purse which was of course attached to my arm.

Tons of discussion was had about our band, though we don't know how many there are or who's in who haha. Make it over to the mall, and hit up stores for an hour or so, I also bought a big cookie from Starbucks!

So we head over to the harbor and to Hooters, we took Alexa's Hooters virginity and our waitress sucked, but I got wings and they were marvelous. Mandy isn't allowed to sit on the end anymore because she knocks things over. I spent like $25 but it's okay because I was craving Hooters, I had lunch the next day because of it, and because I prob won't spend nearly that much again until my next paycheck at least.

So we leave Hooters and walk around the harbor taking random pictures because mandy wanted to take pictures and who's to tell Mandy she couldn't lol. We go all the way down the boardwalk taking pics in the randomest places. A few falling into water scenerios, and we walked past some very cute boys with skate boards.

So finally hike back to the car which is on the opposite side of the harbor, make it to the car without anymore crossing the street incidents haha. Drive hoe listening to Rufio and discussing Mandy & Steph's party some more. Drop off Mo and then back to my house where everyone else said their goodbyes.

I don't know how I ended up out of my house for 5 hours, haha. Get inside and on the computer, try to dicipher this complicated boy before I crash pretty early. I was actually exhausted and amazed I made it upstairs to crash. Oh and Alexa... Cooper IMed me.

It was a great day I got to be out in the great weather with my best friends, and I got to go to Hooters, wooo! I wish it would stay 65 for the rest of winter. Warm weather just make days better.

"Why Do You Do What You Do To Me Baby?"

So remember how I decided I wanted breakast food? Well I'm the type of girl when she wants something eventually she'll get it. I woke up, and came downstairs, my mommy goes... "There's still some pancake mix if you want some." "Awesome! Do we have any sausage or bacon?" "Nope." So I'm like fine I'll eat eggs & pancakes. Nope, not so much. no pancakes. So I'm frustrated at the fact there's no eggs, so I get changed and drive to Walmart. I purchase an expanding file folder, bacon, sausage, eggs. I also saw a necessary component for Warped Tour.

So I get home at 11:40 or so, and my dad's all... "We're going to church!" My family is the type that will be like, we're going to church every... 3 months or so, like every season, but only once that season they'll get super spiritual, then next week, ehhh... my mommy goes to the mall instead. Whatever. Needlesstosay, I didn't get to eat my god damn breakfast! I had a hot pocket, whatever.

So I text Mo and I'm like ehh going to church til one, what time are we leaving. Supposed to be noon, change it til 1:30, so we're all good. Church is churchy and such, sermons about forgiving and always doing God's work. So not sucking like me lol. Look I'm nice to people that deserve it, not so much everyone else, that's the part I need to work on lol.

So walking out of church I call Jeff Henley back and something big might happen! So get home. Oh shit I'm supposed to watch The Strangers preview... Mo told me it was dumb scary. My uncle gave me $20 and my mommy gave me the $40 she owed me, wooo, I'm rolling in money!

So at 2 Mo comes to get me, Ebony & Rae are already in the car. So I chat with Rae in the back. I like her :). Armor is playing, I also like Armor, while we drive to Glen Burnie for Mo's dress fitting. Stupid bitch steals Mo's parking spot. Dress fitting is silly and we look through the catalog for a while. Lady working there thinks Mo's crazy with imaginary friends til we ask where she is lol.

We go through every navy & marine dress in David's Bridal, then every size 16 through like 22. It was pretty intensive lol. Finally grab a 20, the only damn one in the store basically, and we have to get it altered, not so much. Mo has to come back on Tuesday. For the record, if I ever actually decide to get married remind me not to go to David's Bridal, because their shit is cut tiny, and my stressed out engaged self esteem can't handle that lol.

So after that we go to Checkers, wooo! I got alot of food and spent a dumb amount of money because I don't pay attention lol. More Armor on the ride home, and I told Mo how Steph will check our list at the door of our house to make sure we still like her lol. I was like I don't really know what Steph's gonna do to not be invited to the house. We came up with some options, like "Ohhhh, Steph, you shouldn't have done that, Oh shit, don't tell Mo." and I'm gonna walk in on the "Don't tell Mo" part and I'm gonna be like OH SHIT DON'T TELL ME EITHER! CUZ I'LL TELL MO! Then run out of the room. Then Steph will get her own personal note on our door telling the dumb bitch not to come in! WOOO! lol.

So I'm cleaning shit up around the house when I get home, and I decide Monday morning I'm making a HUGE breakfast and I don't want to eat alone, so I text all my friends.

So I get a text from Monique, saying "AMERICAN GLADIATORS TONIGHT" then "will you watch it with me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?! pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee". If you know Mo, you now she doesn't get this excited over just anything so of course I said yes.

Get an invite from the other best friend to Brittany's party on Friday night, so that's exciting, Mo's invited too, but it's her number one's birthday, so there was no point of even letting her know lol.

So I finally get upstairs and take a nap, Mo calls at 8:45 to wake me up. She's rushing home to see American Gladiators! I get online & IM Alexa, she's gonna eat breakfast with me, woooo!

So I get a text from the boy I chatted with on Saturday morning, and he's tryna seeeee me. I'm not tryna get out of my comfy ass bed. But I'm always tryna see this kid, so... eh. So me & him are talking back and forth about this while I'm watching American Gladiator with Mo online!

Me: okay so _______ is picking me up and we're going to his damn __________, and then he's bringing me back...
Mo: wtf for
Mo: and the fact that you sound do salty is an issue
Me: he just wants to hang with me for a while and he has to go there anyway...

So around 10 he comes to get me and we go for a ride, finally get to see his little makeshift apartment where I turned down some candy straws because of who they belong to haha. Great chats are had on the way back about how he sucks and is glad I don't pretend he doesn't lol. Oh and he's also a big at hypocrite, and we have plans to save the music scene lol.

Get home and I'm back online talking to Mo:
Mo: wtf
Mo: that's not something to be proud of
Me: hahahaha
Me: should i be proud if i did? lol...
Mo: that's like saying woo i graduated high school without failing

Hahaha, so me & Mo are both staying up to watch the I Love NY 2 Reunion, I watched Steel Magnolia's. We got a new subscriber, wooo! I need to design a sweet subscribers card for this issue, Mo's so smart :D

Had a tummy ache, grabbed some tea then the show is on! Me & Mo watch it together until she goes to lay down and I text her because Tailor Made got KNOCKED the fuck out lol. Good times haha.

Sunday was a cute day I was feeling much much better, and I always feel better when I get to see him. Weekend was nothing particularly special though, but not all of them can be, plus I hadn't really been in the mood to party!

Day Overall: 7

Weekend Overall: 6

Quote of the Day: "I know I'm not funny, thank you for not pretending I am."

"It's All The Same, Nothing Ever Changes"

So I woke up to a text message saying "Oh Lord" from a boy I really like, so that made me uneasy of course. So I rolled out of bed around 11, and said visitors are hear. My uncle and aunt and kids from North Carolina were visiting. Played with the little girl a bit, then grabbed the keys, I had errands to run.

So at stop lights I'm texting said boy and answering his question about stupid people. So make it to the bank, still turn the wrong way on Loch Raven, but made it and put in 100 dollars.

So after the the bank, I head over to Office Depot and make copies of a bunch of issues as rereleases, which feels great. Someone remind me to get all those magazines out o the back of Steph's car.

So after that I finally stop texting him 2 hours later around 1:30 and get a text from Mo while I'm at Walmart. So I finally grab everything I need to get and make it home.

I make myself some lunch because everyone else had already ate, finally stopped watching America's Next Top Model because I had seen the new season already. So I watched a movie with Sandra Bullock on The Country Music Channel, and the channel was so blatantly stereotypical and I loved it hah.

Don't remember what I did, but I'm pretty sure I got some work done before I took a nap because my rents went out. My mommy asked me not to go running around Baltimore, and I didn't, so go me. My little brother came into my room while I was sleeping and he's all like: "Christine, I just raked the leaves." "What?" "I raked the leaves, mommy's gonna give me $5" "Did you hurt yourself?" "No." "Did you wear a coat?" "Yes." "Where .are the leaves?" "In a trash bag" "Okay, goodnight." He's trying to save up a dumb amount of money to buy game systems...

So i was up around 6 or so and my rents get back around 7 with pizza, too bad it was gross and had a bunch of crap all over it, so I didn't eat that, I was upset but got over it, big sis tried to help out but I was okay.

So to top off the greatness off, I lose my room for the night to my cousins, which would have been okay had my mother not said previously that they wouldn't be sleeping there. Whatever, so I sleep in the den, I also remind Mo she's not allowed to have a rewind button.

So I hop in the shower then watch The History of the KKK on the History Channel because History fascinates me. At this point I decided that my day was icky because I hadn't let it since 1, and I just felt listless & restless.

So around 11 Mo finally gets home and I talked to her. Decide not to complain because she had a bad day too. She introduced me to the Suze Orman show. So I end up complaining to Mo anyway, and my personality sucks sometimes and I'm in a rut.

Me: sometimes the whole never satisfied thing is great
Me: except when it makes me sad lol.

Mo made me feel all better, because she's a good best friend :D

Then we had some great discussion about how people perceive us, which is the quote of the day mostly because the only thing I questioned when Mo said it was "Am I really spoiled?" ahahahhaha.

Anyway, decided I wanted breakfast food but didn't want to spend money, which set up things for Sunday & Monday.

Day Overall: 5

Quote of the Day: "spoiled white girl in a black chicks body that goes to shows to suck off white boys"

"Is What We Had To Be: Uninvited Guests"

So Fridayyy I remember waking up early because I actually spoke coherent words to my mommy when she was leaving, so lets go with 8.

Obvi I didn't have anything better to do so I did a myspace survey at 8 in the morning while watching America's Next Top Model of course.

Woke up to a text from Mo since I had fallen asleep the night before early. "Chastity Belt" hahaha, if you only knew... After questioning my status in the friendship I went on to tell Ms. Mo about this ridic dream I had about the inner city and a sketchy apartment. Both dream Christine & Dream Monique suck.

Hop in the shower and text with Zack a bit. Mommy comes to get me to take me to work. Get to work about an hour early because my mommy had a meeting to go to at 1. So I wander around from store to store for a hour while texting Steph, Mo, and Tiffanie. Mo about Steph: "Hell to the no, stay local."

So before work I stop at Hollister who literally has my CD collection in rotation, too bad their clothing is still ugly but it's a good place to stop in when I'm feeling blue, I'm a big fan of hearing my favorite songs lol.

Work isn't too bad, around 3 Allie comes to visit! I miss her, so it was great to see her without her Amy & Allison, haven't seen that in a while haha. I've seen the to of them recently, Allie not so much lol. She is excited for Mayday Parade to come back...

"Thank God you got to go on Armor's bus, because I couldn't have All Time Low's being the first bus you were on," hahahahah, soooo good. Speaking of shows, according to Mo, I'm up to her level in show going, that being approximately 87 this year. Impressive right? haha. That's roughly 22% of the 365 nights in 2007 spent at a show. 40% being in the last 3 months of the year. Yay Statistics!

So off work at 5:45 and my daddy picks me up AND he buys us Burger King! So that was super exciting. Me & Steph call each other at the same time cuz we have ESPN, and then we actually catch each other and as always we're discussing party options. We were supposed to have a movie night but Steph wanted to go out so who am I to burst her bubble.

So I finish my salad in record time, it was amazing btw, remind me next time I'm at BK to buy one! So Stephani arrives and we chat. Party was supposed to be at a certain boys house... however, Steph broke a resolution with said boy on New Years hahaha... Some pastry named boy isn't too bright. Speaking of him... "Oh, but Jordan's gonna be there." "So?" "Won't that be awkward?" "What...? Oh, if it's gonna be awkward for anyone, it's gonna be Jordan because Christine doesn't care."

AP Tour is a good enough reason for Monique to wake up:
Mo: like i'd give up sex to go on this tour
Mo's gonna learn my All Time Low dance, wooo! The boys can never see said dance because they can't know I like them that much... Which is A FUCKING LOT, but shhhh, it's a secret lol. Oh I hear the new FTSK song finally, I'm bad at hearing new music.

So we get a phone call from Monique while she's on the way to get food, and she tells me how much she loves her friends and Stephani tells Mo why she's slutty haha.

Mo gets back home and we chat some more online, and I finish my recap blog while Steph is still texting with baked good. I finish my blog around 11 and decide I'm hungry so we make a sweet McDonalds trip and my mommy says I'm not allowed to spend the night at Steph's.

So Mandy comes over around midnight and I'm trying to eat my Chicken Nuggets, then my mommy & daddy come down and start cleaning shit around me. Steph's burning popcorn, and I'm just trying to eat lol. I'm like uh who cleans at midnight & why? Come to ind out we have visitors coming at 6AM, I ask no more questions and go back to eating my food lol. I give Mandy her gift and she hangs around til 1 or so, while I lurk someone hardcore because of a story Steph told me. Mandy & Steph head out together, my whole house smells like burnt popcorn lol, so my mommy put on candles.

So I blow out a candle and head upstairs and start to doze off before I get a text from Mo saying she's home from her secret gathering which I figured out, so I'm up anyway watching the final episode of ANTM and I get online because Mo is up. In order to do this I have to go downstairs and get my laptop. This saves my house from burning down because I had left a candle on, therefore, Mo saved my house haha.

We have an awesome convo about being the last people on Earth, check out the AIM profile, tell Mo about my lurking and the story behind it. Then at 3 Jerry Maguire came on, wooo! Oh and...

Me: i didn't care i wasn't at said party
Me: i care that i wasn't invited because it was her party

I'm really over it now, thoroughly unimportant now, but that night not so much haha. Fell asleep while watching Jerry Maguire even though I didn't get that far into, it's just one of those movies, like those songs, that remind me of me.

Day Overall: 7

p.s. - I forgot how much I loved the T's before I popped this CD in again, it's brilliant, and the best line in this song being... "I can see the way you talk to him and that's enough to make me hate the kid." I could go on & on about this one line, but you can figure it out.

"It’s Half Off If You Bring A Friend"

So I was up around 9:30 and got on the interweb and Google Chatted with Ms. Mo :). Mo approves of my resolution although she still hasn't read it. Showed her futureme.org which is a site I used a longgg time ago.

This boy I like is feeling good which makes me happy, I had some ice cream with caramel and work on more Scene Trash things like I was supposed to. Hopped in the shower and washed my hair, sent out a bunch of messages then waited on responses. The Hint made my day which is the quote of the day.

Steph called me up around 1, and Monique wrote this about me:

I'M Christine.
I like myself more than you. I dislike a lot of dumb people. I need to relax before I die at 30. My friends are better than you could ever be. I am ____ & ____ and even super duper. Everything I do is for my love of baltimore and scene Trash. When people see me they have an opinion, good or bad but they can't not look. A lot of people think I care what they think.

I love my best friend :D, so around 2 I took a nap until 3:30 then got up to do the dishes.

So Stephani came over and we watched ANTM for a while before going to Pizza Hut! Ended up spending $25 at Pizza Hut for the two of us which is a very impressive task. Back t my house and we had a buffet of food on the table.

Steph thinks me & Mo secretly hate her but not really haha. Which reminds me of Mo, Alexa & Mandy's discussions while Mo was kidnapped, it involved me asking if I was the slutty friend lol.

I told Mo to call me when she got home but my phone fell under my bed so I didn't get the text. I crashed around 2, I suppose.

Day Overall: 6

"My Body Is Tired and Falling Apart At The Seams"

So I woke up around 10:30 and planned to watch America's Next Top Model for the entirety of the day. Got excited that we had frozen dinners while talking to Monique. Here's what I did all day by around 6: "i took a nap and did the dishes and did a band scan and now i'm making flyers."

Get a random message friend request, well not random, but unexpected. Also get a text from Joe. I had called him earlier to get the details on the new CD. :D, he's all is this STCO? Hahah, I like that code name.

Talke dto Mo for a while while watching more Project Runway, decided I was hungry and I call up Steph. I was going to pick up Stephani and we were gonna go to McDonalds, but her daddy said no :(, but she did say I was the greatest best friend ever :D!

Me: and "i'm the greatest best friend ever"
Mo: are you?
Mo: way to go!
Me: according to stephani
Me: i know right!?
Mo: she would know

So I went by myself and ran into this kid that I made out when I was like... 14? maybe 15? Ew, whatever, he was clingy lol. Oh yea I do remember getting McDonalds on New years now.

So back home and I eat all my yummy food :D, I was craving a milkshake intensely lol. I watched Wife Swap with my mommy, then Gossip Girl upstairs, then Project Runway! Then more ANTM haha.

So I chatted with Mo until she went to bed around 2:30, and I stayed up watching ANTM and writing my resolution blog. I also was craving hot weather which I am now currently getting and I'm grateful for that :D

Finally went to bed around 5AM.

"I'd Kill To Fall Asleep"

So New Years began with my mother finally opening the front door for me & Stephani to get into the house.

I wake up at 9:25 or so and say bye to Stephani who's still passed out in my bed. I have to be at work at 9:45 btw. So I don't leave the house until 9:45 and get there around 9:52? Jen's already there and the punch in system is effed up anyway so it's no big deal.

At work we have the sign up saying we can't do giftcards all day because shit was fucked New Years Eve and I'm not trying to deal with that shit again. I go to Starbucks and get a free cup of iced green tea, woo! Mo's texting me & she's making plans about '08, two max, and showerssss.

I go on break early because I obvi didn't have time to eat. Get a call from Stephani when she finally woke up, her & my mommy bonded lol. I visited Mandy & made this little kid stop crying. Woo!

Finish writing my New Years Eve blog at work and change my blogger layout. Finally off work, not too many giftcard issues so that's good :D

So I hop in the car and drive home, my mommy has food for me so I eat then I grab a shower, so then I'm all about sleeping off New Years. No, just kidding. Phone call from my best friend saying basically, hey get up, we're going to the movies.

I'm like ughhhhhh, wtf fine. I am not gonna suffer alone so I call up Stephani and we're both groggy as hell. We're allowed to sleep for about an hour & a half, then we're up and it's time to see JUNO!

Me & Steph get to the movie late again lol, and we meet up with Zackary. Buy our tickets and head inside. Movie is so fucking cute & I wanna see it again. One of my all time favorite quotes: "You should've gone to China, you know, 'cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events." oh & don't forget WOAH DREAM BIG! So good haha.

So we get out of the movie and chat for a while, then it's time to go home and Me & Steph are thoroughly spooked by every noise we hear, thanks alot I AM LEGEND lol.

Get home and my eyes were still literally burning when had to wake up from sleep lol. Instead of going to bed, I uploaded pictures & posted some blogs, and evidently I had McDonalds but I don't remember that lol...

New Years Day wasn't bad at all, though I didn't get to sleep most of the day, but I'll sleep when I'm dead, I get to see all my top friends :D at the same time lol, and it's always nice to see Zack.

Day Overall: 7

Quote of the Day: "Can't I be like a faulty washing machine? Shit's okay for the time it's off but every 2 weeks or so I fuck shit up a little bit."

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION

I'm in a lights off kind of mood, so I guess it's a good time to write this.

For the most part I couldn't come up with a specific resolution, it was in general terms, it was a wholistic view, but three days into 2008, I know exactly what I want to accomplish this year.

I want to be seventeen. Well in 20 days, eighteen. I don't know what made me grow up so fast, but now it's getting to the point where I can't be awake and in my house without wanting to get work done. I'm torn between accomplishing a dream and living in the moment. Every single action I seem to do now is laying a foundation for next week, next month, next year. Don't get me wrong, I'm still spontaneous and me, but I'm calculated, and I don't think it's meant to be that way.
In 2008, I don't want to feel guilty for taking a nap. I don't want to get up at 2AM and write an article. I don't want every moment to be an opportunity to get up further in that ladder.

I'm the type of girl who says never let life happen to you, but I need to understand that I can't control everything. I've got the drive, I've got the ambition, but sometimes it's not about that. Sometimes it's about acting your age, living your life and one in a while just letting things happen to you.

Sorry I couldn't give you some great stories to sum up the year but I did that already, maybe you should check out the new issue of Scene Trash. This entry is just for me to look back a year from now and see if 2007 set up for 2008 and beyond. Things happen for a reason and this entry helps me understand why.

Spring & Summer set up my Autumn and Winter made it okay to go back home. 2007 was a year that built it up. "It" meaning everything, new friend, new opportunities, new places. 2007 was the best year of my life, and I owe most of it to Monique, so thank you so much for that, big sister!

I went to approxemently 83 shows this year. College made it possible to go to 4 shows in a week, 37 in 3 months to be exact, and every day I woke up this Summer with a smile. Warped Tour changed my life, as did my best friends, and as the year winds down it's hard to remember the dark place it started off in, maybe because I don't want to remember, or maybe because it's not important anymore.

CAST OF CHARACTERS PART 4

CAST OF CHARACTERS PART 4
(I only change bios every 2 months, alot of people got CUT)

Monique (she has a blog too!), age 23, sometimes referred to as Mo, or my big sis. She's my best friend, and I like her wayyy more than you. We're like the same band but different CDs, and if you don't get that analogy, that's why we're not friends... We're out of state more than we're in it at this point, and I'd be lost without her. Monique likes, glitter, dance parties, boys with nice shoes, and good grammar skills.

Stephani, age 18--often referred to as Steph. She's my bestie! Likes boys in big local bands, shopping, her red Saturn. She needs adult supervision because sometimes she does silly things when me & Mo aren't around. Me & her just fit together, spend whole weekends together, and we're just kinda dumb sometimes.

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're actually just the same person except she has some indie influences. We stay up late talking about foolishness and how we should be in Chicago and why everyone in this damn town sucks, but us and our friends.

Mandy, age 21, also known as Mandy Sin. She likes her camera, road trips, boys in makeup, random hair colors. She claims several boys in bands at a time, and always has something to throw in to make everyone laugh. She's actually significantly blacker than me and I love her for that, haha.
