Assumptions: Making an ASS out of You and Me

(copied from my almost-private myspace blog)

So, I just so happened to go to Starbucks this morning after working a night shift.. I ordered a chonga bagel and relaxed on a comfy chair... I ended up falling asleep on that chair, and when I woke up I noticed that there were two five-dollar bills underneath one of the bags I had brought in with me... I didn't have any fives on me--I usually use my debit card for everything. I think someone assumed that I was homeless, or broke and incapable of getting myself home, when really it was just that I had a few hours to waste b(coefore having to go to petco to work.. Now I have ten dollars in cash, and I need to think hard about what I'm going to donate it to.. Obviously I'm chosing something involving creatures who are homeless.. I'm thinking about getting food for an animal shelter.

Why are the birds chirping?

It's not even six a.m. yet! I don't think the sun has even came out either.

What weirdos, the birds.

I can't sleep. I'm pretty sure I know why. I'd share what it is with you, but I don't think you'd approve so we'll skip it.

I've noticed I really like to write when I feel tired but can't sleep. I wrote a song. ha.

I'm hungry, I want some blueberries, and a second job!

fin.

No one reads this thing anymore

Probably because everyone has finally realized that my life is boring, so I can't possibly have anything to blog about that could be considered "NEATO!"

Wrong.

I see a few of my bffs (they don't consider me to be theirs, but they sure as heck are mine!) on Thursday night! I'm stoked!

Then, then, THEN, on Friday, I get to meet Meg and Ryne IRL! Oh, and I'm also seeing Relient K, I suppose.

whooo.

I'm tired. Sleepytime she comes.

Sweetness

I have a new thing that I'm gonna start trying out.

I'm going to be nice to everyone. I've noticed I can kinda be a bitch to the people I don't care too much for, and then to other people I'm over-the-top nice. I decided I want to be nice to everyone, even the people who are being mean to me. This means that I'm also going to attempt to like everyone. I know it's gonna be tough, but I feel like it might be worth it. Wish me luck? Or even better, try it with me!

Realization

I've come to realize that I use myspace bulletins/facebook notes the way most people use their blogs.

So, I decided that I'm going to start using my blog again, instead of bulletins. That way the people that actually want to read what I have to say can still read my thoughts, and the people that don't give a fuck won't have to be bothered anymore!


....I'm gonna post a bulletin just to let people know. Just this one time.

My Other Blogs

I think I update my Flickr and Twitter accounts more than I update my actual blog. I definitely enjoy going to those websites way more than I do going to blogger. Plus Twitter is so dang easy! You can just text updates to it. Hello, brilliant!

I just sneezed. That's what I get for eating peas with loads of pepper when my nose is already going crazy.

This is not what I was going to blog about though. I am blogging about what's going on with me. Currently I'm rewatching The Office. But this past week, a lot (not really a lot) has happened. I got back home from Ohio. and a week at most later the bank calls me and says that I should come in and that my account is now at a negative 600 dollars balance and by the next day it'll be closer to 800. I go in, find out there's nothing that they can do for me. A few days later I go back and talk to someone else who works there and ask what exactly my options were for paying it off. He suggested getting a credit card, but it'd take a few days, so I'd still be getting charged for being at a negative balance. I left, then two days later I decide to put four hundred dollars in my account so that I'm a little bit closer to paying it off.. While I'm there I talk to a different person and asked her if there's a way for some of the fees to be waved because I only spent about a hundred and fifty dollars really. Most of the money I owed was because of fees for buying things when I was over. 35 dollars per transaction while negative and 20+mini- transactions = a big fee. (I didn't know I was over my balance. I forgot I had taken out money on an atm machine at the rk show) She said she'd leave the manager a note and see what they can do and that she'll call me monday. Monday came around and no one called. BUT Tuesday morning the manager calls, I explain the situation and SHE WAVED THE REST OF MY FEES! I love her. I'm opening a credit card (to build my credit) and a savings account so stuff like this doesn't happen again. Yay.

So when I paid that 400 dollars, I had 60 dollars cash on me. I kept that and said I can just live off that until my paycheck in two weeks. Three days in and I spent more than half of it. hahaha. I just have one more week to go, I think I have nearly 20 left..

Tomorrow I work. I think I'm curling my hair again. And going in early too. hahaha

Oh, by the way, I think I'm changing my hair next week.

8 Months

um since I'm blogging, should I blog about the rk stuff?

yes?

okay, so I flew into ohio at 11 am on the 30th. so nina and I had a day to hang out in order to get completely used to each other before going and seeing rk on halloween and nov. 1st together. it was fun. we went goodwill hunting for tennis gear for her. no luck. but it was kinda fun raiding through their stuff and critizing everything quietly. Um. next day I slept in late, and we waited for kara to get to the house. she got there. we left. and showed up at the venue. we weren't too far back in line. Kara went inside before doors opened to set up the merch table. I went in a few minutes later to tell her I had to pee and to ask her if she knew wehre a bathroom was. she didn't. but while I was trying to figure that out. I noticed rk was there. So I just stayed there to think. Then Matt came up and complimented my outfit. Mostly my shoes. He really liked my shoes.. Umm then Ethan came up and was like so you flew out? yep. I did. Walking to Ohio sounded like too much work. Jon waved from a distance.. I waved back then left and found a bathroom at the venues restaurant.

Doors opened. We managed to get to second row (which I consider to be a quite depressing place. It's front or nothing) HOH were all dressed up as Matt Thiessen. Their band name was Matt Thiessen and the Thiessens. Silly. They were good. But I gotta say I enjoyed their set more the next day. I'm not sure if it's cause I coudln't take them seriously with the costumes or if it was because second day I could see perfectly and was in a better mood. Off-topic! I'll get to day two once I'm finished with day one. They finished. This Providence came on as wizards and a teen wolf(?). They were entertaining I guess, but definitely my least favorite on this tour. Next was Ludo. I LOVE TIM THE KEYS GUY. I was watching him most of the TIMe. he was funny, even in his ape suit. Oh, wait, I hadn't mentioned that yet! They were all dressed as apes, except the lead singer who was a banana. I remember one banana joke he made, it was funny "I hope our music is appealing to you" or something along those lines. Ludo was a lot of fun. Next was rk, by that time a bitch ended up being next to me and was slowly trying to push me out of my spot. I had been in the same exact spot the entire time; in between these two girls in front of me. and she was acting like I had just showed up and tried to take her spot. I shouted something like why the hell are you trying to push me out of my spot!? and she was like you're the one pushing me and I've been here the entire time. no and no. gah, bitch. I noticed that she backed up off of me a bit when matt talked about me and then to me while on stage. I should've asked him to get security to escort her out. yeahhhhh right. But she was seriously ruining my night. Ummm their set ended and I believe hoopes through his pick at his head. I'm not sure if he was aiming for that or what. All I know is that I felt something hit my head right when they ended and I knew it had to be a pick so I tried to look on the ground without everyone else noticing and copying me.

I couldn't find the pick, and this other girl noticed me looking and I told her there had to be SOMETHING on the groundcause I could feel something hit my hat. She found it on the ground and looked at me, and I looked at her. and she could tell I wanted it, so she offered it to me even though I know she wanted it too. And I told her I would really appreciate it. She gave it to me. . Awww.

After the show we went by the buses and chilled. yes, chilled our asses off. okay, it wasn't actually that cold out, but whatever. I took my shoes off cause they were beginning to become a part of my feet. Ethan came out. I told nina to show him her drawing for matt. Basically, he freaked out. Which is not surprising, cause it's amazing! We hogged ethan from all the fans (one mom actually tried talking to him to ask when the bands were gonna come out!) and I was like "uhhh he IS in one of the bands!" ahahahahaha MOMS. I took a few pictures with him and I believe that's about it! Then I saw Tyson walking towards his bus, and I was like matttt you've gotta come over here and see what Nina has for you! it's incredible! he said he'd be right out. a minute later he came out, and this is what happened



yeah, he loved it. Who would've guessed!?
Uhhh, everyone except Nina!

then we all chatted like we had with ethan. He asked me what happened to my cute shoes. (why he remembered them, I have no idea.) we took pictures. in one picture he like put his entire head on my head. It was like I turned into a pillow. But I guess that's what happens when you wear comfy hats?

Next day, we leave by 11 and drive out to Columbus, and I cut relient ks faces. I printed them out the night before. I creep out Nina and Kara to the max. Kara drops us off so she can go to the airport to pick up ann. We get to the line. Two people are there. That's it. GOOD! We sit around a lot. I get up to go pee. Ethan strolls by says hi to Nina and leaves. I come back and he's gone. hahaha. I leave for a few walks with my camera. I stay seated for a while. I complain about how I think tyler secretly hates me. Right when I say that, Tyler Matt and Matt walk up. and I get embarrassed and start laughing it off in front of them. Thiessens asks what's going on and I tell him nothing. They look in the window at Chipotle (which is RIGHT next to us) and turn around and leave. I laugh more about the timing on that. Then go on a few more walks. Kara and Ann get there. While in line J. Warner walks by us while on his celly and goes in chipotle. he walks out for a second ann says something like fine ignore us. He walks inside, to ignore us. hahahahaha. He comes out later and talks to us forever. We kept him to ourselves. I told him I was holding a grudge against him from last night. cause he walked right past me and didn't stop to talk. Then he brought up the fact that I was walking the other way, and didnt' stop either. Well, I didn't stop cause he didn't stop, SO THERE. We all talked to him about random stuff. A LOT of random stuff. I told him to be ready for tonight, and not to be creeped out by what happens. and he said he'd try and he'd be keeping an eye out. then I asked him if I could have his setlist cause I've never had one before. He said he'll try and remember to get it for me.. Then he leaves. and Schneck and his anonymous friend go into Chipotle. While he's in there I decided I was hungry. So I bought chips and salsa. I go back outside to eat cause I don't want to be in there when Jon is in there. and eventually Hoopes goes into the music store down the street. I go in there because I wanted to say hi. I got inside, and I coudln't do it. Luckily Ann did and I just went up to her and started talking to him too. Then ann left, and I started talking to hi mabout a ton of stuff. Like the breakup of the new frontiers, the color fred (he started that topic) and how the tour wasn't doing well or something, um we talked about my job, and about coffee and waking up. other stuff that I can't remember too. Then I told him that we have something planned for a part of the show and that he can't scream like a little girl when he sees what it is. He said he can't make any promises. then I left him and went back to line. doors were opening, and we find out that all these peopleon the other side of the door who hadn't been there nearly as long get to cut the line because they're in this local club. bitches.

We end up being front row, far right, which wasn't bad because I kept saying we needed to be on Warners side! I was hyper and excited. I was in an awesome mood. Well, awesome for me, annoying for everyone else. I was obnoxious the entire time. haha you should've heard me scrining (screaming/singing) and bobbing my head and jumping/running in place. hahahahahahahah it was so much fun though. During the addams family, we wore their faces as masks, and bobbed our heads along to the beat. John Warne and Thiessen kept smiling. I remember Warner chuckling a little, I don't remember matt. haha ummm what next? Ann, Nina and I ate skittles and combos in front of Warner. haha. Then I aimed one for Warnes feet. Somehow he saw it, and looked at us, and ANN POINTED AT ME. jerkjerkjerk! I denied it though! After deathbed, John walked off stage without grabbing my setlist. I was sad about that. Then a minute later I see Derrick running on stage, and grabbing Johns setlist. ONLY Johns. It gave me hope, but it also made me nervous. Like John told Derrick to take it just so I couldn't get it. Which would be weird...

I go over to the merch table where kara is once the line went away and was going to buy a shirt. I was about to hand her 20 buckaroos when tyler asks kara what's shes doing. Then he tells her that I'm not paying 20 dollars for a shirt that costs three dollars to make. So I got it for free, like I did with the shirt I got the night before. THANKS TYLER, MAYBE YOU DON'T FULLY HATE ME! Then we asked about Nina and he said yes for her too! :) Then I went to the atm machine. Got out 140. and handed it over to ann. I owed her from warped. I still owe her another 100 which she will get soon. I saw Tim from Ludo walking one way, so I followed him and was like Hi! obviously he said hi back. then I told him he was the most entertaining person on this tour. and he said thanks and I asked if I could get a picture with him. Then Nina got one too. We talked to him for a second, then left. Then as we were leaving. I saw ANOTHER Tim. HOH Tim. I told ann and nina that I had to get a picture with him! He heard me say taht, even though he was with other people at the time. He looked at me and smiled.. Like he was waiting for me to ask again. I said hi and said I like ur bnd. and asked if I could get a picture and then I realized I left my camera at the merch table. I ran over and got it. then got a picture. then nina did. then we talked to them. and somehow I brought up the show from the night before and being from washington. and then saying ann has been to way more than I have. Then we went out to the bus area and waited around. We talked to Jon. I told him I haven't talked to him for a while. Then we talk to ethan. I think what I remember most is him starting to talk about Demon Hunter, and I interrupt him and say "WHAT'S THAT!?" and he replies with "You're too young to know" hahahahahahhaa whatever, Ethan! I'm a grown man, too! We talked about the west coast and seattle and other things. Then he left and we talked to everyones favorite Warner. Favorite part of that conversation would have to be the conversation between him and ann. She calls him beautiful a lot, and she said it when I was there. and then she started to say she doesn't want a picture because she looks like crap and he was like you look beautful. ahahahaha so adorable. I said something sarcastically about the setlist and he appolized for forgetting. Then not even a minute later he pulls it out of his pocket and handed it to me. Definitely made my night! haha. Then I had him sign his face that I cut out. I had ethan and jon sign theirs too. All of them asked where to sign it, I kept my response to same with all of them; "it's your face!".. Next up was Thiessen. We took another picture because that the time I hated the other one I took with him (I actually like it now) he tried to poke my nose twice. Who knows why? all of a sudden he stuck his hand out at my face and tried to poke my nose, both times I ducked away and gave him a confused look. Who knows what's goes on in that bushy head of his. West Coast talk goes on again, and I ask about what's going on after WWS and he said album but there might be a mini west coast tour with those big boring festivals and adding small dates in between those... That'd be awesome. blah blah blah... talking goes on. then he's about to leave and starts walking away. He doesn't get very far and I yell STOP! He stops and looks at me and I should something like "Virtual high five!" and I raise my arm in the air. He raises his, and we pretended to high five each other. Then he wanted us to redo it and add the backwards low high five to it at the end. so we did that too. Then he was gone. oh and before he left, he told ann to shutup. HAHAHAHA. That was funny. Then Matty Hoopes came out with a fuzzy hat on. I don't think I've seen him in one of those so I decided I'd get a picture with him with it on. So I did. Then we talked and I told him he needs to sing more because he has an amazing voice and he said he should be on the newalbum.. YES. Then we hear katy perry or something and he said something about her. hahaha I wonder what he thinks when he hears her. cause I mean she DID date his bff, I'm sure he knew her well too?

this is all I have.
I wasn't even gonna write about this.
But no one is online to talk to, and I wanted to type, so this is what I typed.
You shouldn't have read this. No you shouldn't.

I WILL Be The Holly To His Michael

That is all.

I Found Nemo

Today technically wasn't supposed to be my workday,
but because Andrew was sick and called in for the week, I've gotten to take most of his shifts.. Including today from 8-4.

So, since Andrew was supposed to be here today, and I took his spot; I was put in aquatics for the first time. fun stuff! I learned a bunch about what goes on over there. It's like a completely different environment, being in the back of the store, instead of the front. It's kinda cool. Plus, because I don't have to be at the register 24/7, I can walk around, and go pee whenever I need to. I'm free. I don't feel like restricted. If that makes any sense..

Yesterday was awesome, even though I was at the register most of the time. It was mainly a good day because I was allowed to do more than usual with animals. Before I had clocked on Joe saw me staring at the turtles so he had me hold a few of them.. I was really excited like a little kid would be.. Animals do that to me sometimes.. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to take them out on my own before yesterday.. So today I kept grabbing them out whenever I got bored. Oh, and for about two hours yesterday, I had Sebastian (the conure I have a picture with on myspace) on my shoulder while working at the register and while putting stuff up on the shelves.. Hes great.. Except when he started getting bored/cranky and bit my finger hard. That hurt, and it bled. Now I have bird-bites on both hands. haha

It's Been A Week

I think I should post about something..

Hmm.. Well, work, ugh, I'm a little upset about work. For the past two weeks I haven't been scheduled to work even 20 hours each week. and I was scheduled next week to only work 18 hours, too. I was pretty bummed about that. I was planning on talking to the General Manager, Darrell, about getting more hours. But guess what? He's on vacation. Of course... Just my luck. But yesterday after I had already checked my schedule, Janelle, the Assistant Manager (who reminds me freakishly of Shannon) came up to me and started to say, "would you want to come in next week..." I interuppted and said "Yes. I want hours. I'll take it." Janelle: "Oh, ok, that's great! I'll remember that." then she told me what day she needed me and blah blah blah.

So hopefully now I'll start getting more hours. I need more hours. I'm gonna start saving up so I can get myself a car. Then maybe a phone on my own line, then either a new computer or apartment. haha it's good to have goals.

I've been sick for at least a week now. It's horrible, my throat is always full of nastiness, same with my nose. I thought it'd be over with by now, but nope, it's not! Two days ago, while at work, it became worse than it had been for the entire week. I had like a line of three customers in line, and all of a sudden, I couldn't breathe. like I had to focus on breathing to get anything in. and then I like started crying. Well, it was me,but it wasn't me? I didn't mean to start crying, it just happened. and it wasn't because I was scared or in pain, it was just cause I wasn't breathing. And of course when that was happening, all the people in line were assholes expecting me to continue to work even though they could see I was having a lot of trouble. WHATEVER.

Eventually it went away.. And after that, it wasn't nearly as bad. I wasn't going to ask to go home. I need the hours. Plus working when you feel your worst shows that you're dedicated to your job.. At least I think so.


Um, I'm a little upset with my bank at the moment.
APPARENTLY, I left my ID there over a week ago, and I didn't know where I had lost it. I had waited almost a week for it to show up, and nothing. so I decided to go to the dmv and get a new one for 15 dollars because I need one really soon for something that's NONAYOBUSINESS. and OF COURSE, the day after I pay 15 dollars for a new id, the bank calls home and says I left my id there. Why the fuck did they wait so long to call. Waste of fifteen dollars.


Here's a picture of a rose in my front yard.



FIN

I got caught on blogspot

Gee, thanks for tagging me, Melanie.
You should know by now that there's nothing interesting about me.
No quirks.
nada.

But I'm gonna try to come up with stuff.

Here are the rules:
1. Link back to the person who tagged you.
2. Mention the rules on your blog.
3. Tell 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them.

2. I hiccup daily.

3. I act differently around different people. I have completely different personalities.

4. sometimes I think it's funny to piss people off..

5. A lot of times when I'm bored, I'll pretend to play The Office on piano with my right hand on hard surfaces.. If you've seen Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, then you may just know what I'm talking about.

6. I make music in my head a lot, especially when I'm trying to sleep at night.

guys, if you dont' want to do this, don't do this.

Now I have to go search the internet so i can find all your urlz.

(it took me a little over a day to come up with six quirks of mine. that's why it says I posted this yesterday.. I started working on it yesterday at whatever time this blog says..)

PETCO Is Testing Me

So, as most of you already know; I'm working at PETCO (not Petsmart, Kara).
I like working there. I've been over that already, though. That's not what I'm blogging about.

What I'm gonna write about, this time, is my hours. My hours change around all the time. But normally in a way that makes it so I have very little sleep in between shifts. I'll be scheduled from about 4/5 PM to close (closing is 10/11 PM depending on the day), then they schedule me to work the next morning at 8 or 9 and I get off at 4/5. So I usually end up having little sleep, or, I get home right after work that night, go to sleep instantly, which is impossible for me without the help of some amazing over-the-counter drugs, such as advil pm, nyquil, and stuff like that. But, even those take at least an hour at least to start working, so I still can't fall asleep right when I get home.

There are only two reasons that I can come up with to explain why they give me these awkward, tiring hours, and they are:

1. They're trying to see how reliable I am, and how committed I am to my job.
2. They just have random open spots everyday and need someone to take them, and since I'm the newest employee there, I'm the one who gets these hours.

But you know what? Every single hour counts. I know that I'm lucky to have even been hired there in the first place. I'm just hoping that after I've been working there for a little bit longer, maybe they'll start giving me normal shifts, like most the other employees there already have. Until then though, I will do my best to get enough sleep at night so I can be all energized while I'm there. Boy oh boy, if only a battery could charge me.

....and by the way.
ha, I can't believe I'm writing this. I really can't.
It's stupid posting this on the internet, I know.
There's this silly boy who works at the store. and I think he's adorable.
I'm sure he's at least 24.
Of course, I can never like anyone who's near my age. But I'm fine with that.

Goodbye, Blackie

Today while at work, I guess Blackie (the oldest dog in our house, he was at least 8 years) was having troubles with his arthritis. We've been talking about putting him down for the past week. We were planning on doing all that after Daniel had gone to Korea for the National Guard, but that didn't happen. They decided to put him down today cause it was really bad. He was laying down all day, just whining. He wasn't moving or anything, he was just in pain. So Dan (not Daniel, Dan is Daniels father) took him to the vet and had him put down. I wish I could've had a warning just so I could've spoiled him like crazy before he was put down.

Oh well, I can't change that now.



RIP, Blackie.
You weren't the best dog, but you weren't the worst.


To lighten the mood of this sad, sad, blog,
here's a picture of Brownie from yesterday in the rain

Here Ya Go

Pictures of the puppies.

I'll get better ones soon. I just took these today, inside the house, cause I realized I haven't taken pictures of em for a while.

My camera sucks at photo taking indoors.

Blogging Off, Again.

Hello one and all (and by that I mean hello, Melanie, Jenna and myself, cause we all know we're the only ones who reads this boring blog)

I decided to start blogging again.
I'm not going to be writing everyday or anything like that, but I'm also not going to go months without posting anything. I just thought it'd be fun to keep myself informed on what's going on in my life.

Yes, I really mean that. I like finding out about what's going on in my life by reading my blog.

So here it goes!

Working at Petco is a blast,
I'm surrounded by animals and animal-lovers all day long. It's awesome. My coworkers are all great people. They're funny and really helpful. Speaking of animals, I just spent about five minutes in a circle with Candis, Michael, Katrina and Vesse to say goodbye to one of our pups, Little Missy. We found her a home, and she's leaving as I'm typing this.

We have three puppies left now, Suki (she's Michaels, he just can't take her yet), Brownie (we're keeping him) and Koala (we're also keeping him)

they're adorable. All four of them. I'm gonna miss the ones thatare leaving.

Well, that's all for now! I'm going to go upstairs and rewatch Gossip Girl and Heroes.

WHAT?

I never blogged about Warped.

Holy BOOP, I never blogged about warped..

QUICK SUMMARY TIME STARTS NOW:

so me and ann met up in wawawashington, we drove to boiboiboise, we met up with melanie and lauralee, we checked out our hotel. We went on the rk boards. me and ann left and picked up kara, we went back to the hotel. then explored the area a little, we went to walmart and stuff like that. then it was time to sleep. then the next morning, everyone is awake except me. I start getting ready, find out that Warne is in our hotel. I think they're trying to trick me, so I finish up quick and go down to the lobby. He's really there. They were telling me the truth. It was awkward. So then I went and got my bags out of the room, put em in the car, then we went up to Warner in the laundry mat, and I asked him to hold a sign that said color k, cause I'm all about that self-promotion. Went in line for warped. HOT AS FUCK. Melanie waited in line for me and ann. ann and I went back to the hotel lobby for cool air, (and for me; apples!) Got front row for relient k and a few other bands. Got beer spit on my by a band dude. Ew, no thanks. Waited in line for rk's kia tent signing thing (that I told myself I wasn't gonna go to) and missed most of say anything, but I was quietly singing along while laying down in line. Talked to rk, awkwardness. They made me nervous, as always. But this time was the worst. I gave them riddles and dumbos, they all said, oh, thanks! It was obvious that they didn't get it, but I kept saying to Kara "they dont care". That was not necessarily true, but they did NOT get it. got kicked out of line. Waited outside, got to go back in (all the people I'm with have connections. I'm learning from the best.) Got to talk to them all by ourselves. Matt chewed me out for assuming they didn't care, when they just didn't get it. Got them all to do color k signs. I told matt he's too tall to hug, and he told me that I just hug wrong, which was true, I didn't fully hug him, it seemed kinda weird. Then I had to rehug him "properly" because I think he was trying to prove that if you hug properly then no one is too tall to hug. It was awkward, but nice I guess. Said bye bye bye to the guys guys guys. Walked around, alone. Ran into FREDDO, right after I had given up on looking for him. We nearly ran into each other, and both of us were like "HEY, it's you!" So we talked, about elia, about where he's playing, where I'm going, about color k, and most importantly, about how he wants to tour with Relient K badly. Awww, maybe someday, Fred.. Left, walked around. Went to the rk merch tent, where kara was selling stuff. Laid down there because I felt so sick. Left warped really early because I was terribly sick. I think it's cause I only ate an apple and I didn't have enough water. I missed Fred. I felt bad. Oh and I talked to PJ (he used to be in tcf, he's now in Charlotte Somtimes) and I told him I'd buy his cd later, cause he had to get it out of the van. But since I left, there was no way I was gonna get it. I felt bad. We ended up staying another night at the same hotel. We slept. We woke up WAY too early, and started heading out to WASHINGTONNNN.

NEXT DAY (Geore, Washington)
I slept in the car the entire time.
I got ready in a Walmart bathroom. We got to Warped. It was my day to sell Merch. I called tyler, and he said he'd be there soon to let me in early to help set up the tent. That took him forever. I got in eventually, I tried to set up everything. and then I started selling stuff. It was a blast. honestly I loved it. Watched Freddo on stage. That was fun. Got some ok pictures of him. Went back to the merch tent. Then went and helped John (Blood Water Mission dude) with his BWM stuff at the kia tent. Said hi to the guys for a brief moment. Nearly pissed Thiessen off. Oops. Said bye, went back to the merch stuff. Later, I walked to the mainstage, went on, watched Say Anything from behind them. They were good, no surprise. Ran out of batteries, ran back to the tent to get more for my camera. ran back, managed to catch their last song. Left to the tent again. Then went back for rk. Couldn't get on stage now. Fast walked to the table, told John, he walked me over, and made sure I got on, and told the rk guitar tech I'm with him. I said hi to Bri. then watched rk and tried to get pictures. There was sooo many people. It was insane. Took a video during Who I Am Hates Who I've been. Almost got kicked off stage with everyone else in the middle of the video,but I got to stay on cause I was "with the guitar tech". Then I went back to the merch tent. sold more stuff with ann, kara, tyler and john. then later took it all down. Then got sad, cause there was only one day left. Then we were headed out to Oregon. That's where my Sam-Sam resides.

DAY THREE (Oregon)
We got there. Relient K was first to play. We ran to the stage. I texted Sammie. She showed up like five minutes before they were on. Relient K came on. I made silly hand motions and stuff along to their songs. It was so lame, but it was the most fun I had during any of their shows. Hoopes winked at me when he came out and said "I know you!" that was cool. Show was sooo fun. When it was over me and sammie walked around. I gave her my vip pass to wear. but then we ended up switching. I gave her the bracelet, and I kept the pass that goes around the neck. We talked to rk at the kia tent. I was so sad. It was the last lday. But this time I really got to talk to a fwe of them way more. Except matt. He was in a hurry and he seemed grumpy. I had a nice talk with Warner, about his wife, who I ran into a few times and chatted with. We were talking about how we both like her. Crazy, right? Obviously I like her way more. hahaa I got a picture with each of them. I talked to Ethan, said something stupid. He had a guitar pick, and I asked him why he had a guitar pick. He said I mostly play guitar. I knew that, I just spaced, cause I had just watched him playing drums. ummm... then that was over, and me and sammie walked around by the buses. We walked by the rk bus I guess, and Hoopes and Jon were walking around. Jon starting walking up to us asked and said whats up. That was weird. I didn't completely stop to talk cause I thought it'd be awkward, I just said "nothing, just walking around." then kept going. haha. Then later me and sammie watched fred, this time in the crowd.. I left halfway though, cause I had just watched his set yesterday, and I really wanted to be at the merch tent. I had a lot of fun that day, I really did. I was so sad when it was over. and I was miserable every time I thought about ann and kara being gone. They're so much fun. Warped was great. I miss it.

So, that's all I've got about Warped.

Now I'm gonna talk about what's going on this month.

I got a job at Petco, I love it. Yesterday I held a ferret, and someones puppy. It was tiny, and gray, and so young. It was adorable, like a little dog version of a koala. I wanted to keep it. I dreamed last night that petco fired me. That wasn't good.

My bosses seem to really like me, which is great. I'm actually good at my job for once, I owned the register within a day. I'm getting decent hours, now all I need is a decent pair of shoes that won't kill my feet.

Today is my brother wedding. It should be interesting. I'm mostly looking forward to the after-dinner.

Jesse Lacey Is The Man

The show was amazing.

I took a lot of pictures and videos..

I got to Seattle by 1:30. Sarah and I got to the venue around 2:00 and noticed no one was there. so we parked down the road and went walking. Then we (sorta) got lost. and by the time I got back there it was 4:40. and there was ten people in line ( :( ) AND it seemed as if every single on of them had friends who needed to cut. I was worried I wouldn't get front row. Luckily I got front row to the very left of the stage (whihc is a GREAT spot.) I had enough space to turn around and sit on stage and watch whenever I wanted during the show. So unlike most the kids, I didn't have to stand the entire time. :)

PICTURESSSSSSSSSS














Brian Bonz was amazing. I wasn't surprised. I mean there must be a reason he was chosen to tour with jesse and kevin, right?

Kevin Devine came on early and played with Brian a little. I freaked out on the inside when I saw him. Not gonna lie about it. hahah. Then when it was Kevins time, he played a lot of awesome songs. Including Just Stay :)



I'm so happy he played it. I love that song.

Jesses' set was also fantastic. He even played a new song



and he played a lot of old songs too. :)

(it has been taking me FOREVER to post videos. Its like an hour per video. hahah












The entire show was great. Once Jesse was over, I went to the merch area to meet Kevin. I was worried about going up because I had given all my money to Sarah earlier, so I had nothing to buy. I went up to him and said something like "hi, is it ok that I'm over here? I don't have money to buy anything, I just wanted to get you to sign this and to say hi.." He said it was fine and he appreciated me coming over. or something like that. Then I told him how glad I was he played Just Stay cause I really wanted to see him play that live. Well he said something like that's good because you got to see it then.. So then Sarah and I left the venue, went outside and went to the side of the venue to see if anyone was waiting out by the back door and the van. NO ONE WAS. so I figured Jesse had already left.. so we started walking to the car, and I said something like "I can't believe I didn't meet Jesse.. I really wanted to meet him" then sarah said we could go back and wait just in case. because if he is still there I could meet him.

We turned around and went back and waited by the dumpsters, the van, and the backdoor. Jesse came out about 20 minutes later. but he was busy doing stuff, so I didn't say anything. while waiting we met this other girl (the only other person waiting) and she told me that he was gonna tell her the set times after the show..

So while jesse was loading stuff into the car and whatnot, we just stood there and stared. We didn't want to interupt him. haha. Then, he went back inside. and he stayed there for like 30 minutes. We were both really upset we hadn't said something while he was out, and said next time we're saying something even if he looks busy. So he came back out.. Those thirty minutes felt so long. and he was talking to Brian and Kevin and a few other people because they were planning on hurrying to a movie theater to see the batman movie that starts at 12. me and the girl (her name is myra) went up to him. I asked him to sign my ticket. He did. then I asked him if there was a name for the new song he played. He told me that it isn't exactly a song, but more of an idea, and that it doesn't have a name. Then Myra was explaining to jesse and the guys that parking would be a total bitch and it'd probably be impossible.. after that myra said to jesse that it was great to see him and she'd see him tomorrow (lucky), and she gave him a hug (she kept telling me she didn't want to leave until she got a hug), then I said the show was great and it was nice meeting him and then I hugged him too. Then I left.

Wahoo.

I left so much stuff out.

Like losing sarahs car, and getting sun screen, and driving myra home.

I just don't want to have to type all of it.

anyways, the show was AMAZING.

Two Days

On July 17th, 2008 I will be heading on out to good ol' Seattle to see one of the greatest men ever born. A man who knows that Mics are for singing, NOT swinging. A man that will stay 18 forever. A man who kills me with his voice. A man who I steal lines from constantly (see my blogs' page title). A man that I'd die for in an instant.

Who is this man that I speak so highly of?

JESSE FREAKING LACEY, Duh!



This is one person that I will not hate even if he is in fact, a total ass. I hear that he does not like to sign things, or take pictures, but I'm gonna try to get something out of him anyway. haha if he says no though, I'm not gonna keep asking. That's just tacky, and desperate.

I'm so excited for this. Never in my life did I think I'd get a chance to meet him, and now I will.. AWESOME!


Also, Kevin Devine is gonna be at the show. (It's a Jesse Lacey/Kevin Devine tour) I really like this guy, too. Just not like I like Jesse. haha
I've recently started to fall hard for his music. It is pretty great stuff. My current favorite of his would have to be "Just Stay." And if he doesn't play it at the show, that may be the exact opposite of what I'll be doing.

....Kidding


This show is going to be amazing. I'm sure I'll blog about the show after it happens. So stay tuned, k? :)
