And her review of it as I suspected is epic in all her angry 
Leland saw The Lovely Bones
January 28th, 2010Jared Leto your talent….
January 15th, 2010….continues to amaze me. Seriously.
I just hate the fact that you’re not that good live. And i’m not saying the music or your voice, because you guys sound EXACTLY like your albums, but for some reason you are just more focused on having the crowd singing your songs. And I dont mean like just the popular parts of popular songs or just the popular songs in general, but the 3 times I saw you guys (all Free!) you were trying to get the crowd to sing like ALL your songs. And especially all the parts of songs I wanted to see you sing.
So it’s not like I said that your sound is horrible live, it’s just that you seem to be more distracting with boosting your ego then giving the crowd their money’s worth.
I of course have seen you 3 times and luckily didn’t have to pay for any of them, one of which I was snuck into and was probably my favorite show of ya’lls because we ended up doing what me & my friends call the “Congo Line with Jared Leto”.
No shit.
We did a fucking congo line with Jared Leto.
True Story.
Anyways after the last show I saw you guys live, I kinda forgot about you and to be honest was hoping you’d go back into movies, because I was a fan of your acting first, but then of course I second guessed myself when you guys released From Yesterday, cuz omg are you delicious in that fucking video. Then after that I didn’t hear anything from you guys.
Then this fucking video comes into my life because of @kimvi and no lie this song has been on fucking repeat the last few days, it’s ridiculous.
First of all I heard about this song & video from my friend Courtney a few weeks ago, cuz she had asked me if I heard it and just pretty much down played the whole song, saying how his hair is fucking weird in the video and they’re riding bikes. Yea the way she described it sounded like he had gone off the deep end, but let me tell you….
…I watched it and just the first few seconds sounds of epicness.
Needless to say I caught myself almost crying during the part with the horse running and just the ending where everyone was singing together.
It’s a very uplifting sounding song, with the chanting with everyone at the beginning and end, the guy getting hit by a car but then getting back up. It’s almost like a theme song for being the kings & queens of our own destiny once the darkness has set in on our lives.
It’s really hard to explain, but it’s fucking deep and I get it.
Touche Leto, I applaud you once again.
One request though, if I buy a ticket, being the first time purchasing a ticket to see you, would you please fucking sing this song yourself, except of course the chanting parts, i’ll understand that.
thanks <3

Into the night Desperate and broken The sound of a fight Father has spoken.
We were the kings and queens of promise We were the victims of ourselves Maybe the children of a lesser god Between heaven and hell, Heaven and hell.
Into your eyes Hopeless and taken We stole our new lives Through blood and pain In defense of our dreams In defense of our dreams
We were the kings and queens of promise We were the victims of ourselves Maybe the children of a lesser god Between heaven and hell, Heaven and hell.
The age of man is over The darkness comes and all These lessons that we've learned here Have only just begun
We were the kings and queens of promise We were the victims of ourselves Maybe the children of a lesser god Between heaven and hell.
We are the kings We are the queens We are the kings We are the queens
Into your eyes....hopeless & taken.

I made a wallpaper.
January 14th, 2010Well a Twitter wallpaper and it’s only cuz my friend Nikki (@dcdazzlesme) asked me too, but I think it turned out pretty good, it’s for the movie Remember Me.
It probably looks plain as hell, but there’s a repeating pattern because that’s where your twitter page goes over it at. If you wanna test it out on your twitter page, just right click on the link below and choose ’save target as..’.

The Lovely Bones
January 14th, 2010
This past Saturday, Katie & me were at the mall picking up some stuff for a few gifts she’s making for someone special in her life (please dont ask) when as we were walking across one of the intersections in the mall I noticed 2 or 3 girls with ‘The Lovely Bones’ tshirts on.
Totally ignoring what Katie was talking about, I picked up my speed and walked straight up to one lady since the other lady we walked by looked at me, snarled and pretty much jumped in front of a couple to talk to them. I went up to this other lady and before she could say anything I said, “yes i would like whatever it is you have.”
Which made her laugh and she was like ‘you would like tickets?’ and I pointed at her shirt and was like “To that….yes I would.” She then proceeded to give us instructions on how to obtain free tickets to see The Lovely Bones before it came out.
Yea so tonight was the free screening of The Lovely Bones (even though we showed up Monday for it, since she told us that, but that was totally wrong) and with as much hype as this movie is getting we decided to go almost 2 hours ahead of time in case there was a line. Which of course when we got there we felt dumb for doing so because we were like 6th in line when we showed up (which ended up being an hour before the movie started instead of the 2 we had planned on).
I pretty much was nervous as hell up until we got into the actual theater because we seemed to be the only people in line that DIDN’T have a ticket. The lady we talked to in the mall told us we were gonna be on a list, but we got in with no problems, thank god.
The people running it had a mini fight with the girl next to us because she was saving a seat for someone that went to the bathroom, but of course the 2 people arguing were too dumb to realize what the other one meant *shakes head*
After they teased us with walking in with a shitload of shirts………..for like a Q&A they usually do before a screening………they walk right back out.
No Q&A.
No Free Lovely Bones Shirts.
>:o
Whatever I got over it since this screening actually had a preview, which turned out to be Shuttle Island, one of Leo’s new movies. And that was the only trailer, which I made the comment, “Yea that’s all you really need.”
Movie started after that, so I put my game face on and tried to remember how the book went. I read the book like 2 or 3 years ago, before they had announced they were making it a movie, so I knew the main plot to it, but some of the details of the book I just couldn’t remember.
Needless to say, it didn’t even fucking matter, because the movie is good………..like really good.
The Lovely Bones is about a 14 year old girl, Susie Salmon who gets murdered on her way home from school. The book is told from her POV and the movie beautifully portrays Susie being stuck between Heaven & Earth as she tries to somehow help her family cope with her murder & catch her murderer.
One of my major pet peeves with movies is having to pay to see a movie that is getting SO MUCH FUCKING HYPE. It always feels like I’m jumping on a bandwagon, so when I get wind of a free screening for a movie that is getting huge hype I jump on it.
With Lovely Bones I actually really wanted to see it because I read the book, but the hype it’s been getting had been turning me off from it. I’m really glad we got lucky enough to attend this free screening, because I definately would of waited til I earned free tix through my movie watcher card to see it. Then I would of been pissed at myself for waiting so long to see it, haha.
I’m not gonna lie to you I was a little critical towards Mark Walhberg (don’t get me wrong I LOVE Marky Mark) because he replaced Ryan Gosling who was the original actor casted as the dad. In the beginning of the movie Mark comes off as a little hokey/trying to hard, but once the emotional aspect of the movie kicks in, he’s on his A game.
Rachel Weiss, I’m not too fond of, but thankfully didn’t really had to pay her too much mind
Saoirse Ronan I knew would be excellent in this as soon as I heard she was casted as Susie and she really was. She brought Susie’s struggle with dealing with her life being over to the screen beautifully…..think Patrick Swayze in Ghost (R.I.P.), but better…………wait is that even possible?
There were a handful of times where it seriously was hard for me not to cry, but I’m not the type to wanna bawl like a baby in a room full of strangers, so I fought the tears back and just watched the movie.
I really loved how Peter Jackson pulled off the whole ‘caught in the middle’ between Earth & Heaven with Susie. Some of the scenery, shit ALL OF IT is just breath taking, I had to catch myself a few times day dreaming of having photo shoots in some of the places. Just sucks since they don’t actually exist, haha.
It’s just a really good movie and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you see it, if you’re looking for a good teary jerker movie to watch, then go see it.
I WILL be seeing it again………..maybe even 3 times, we’ll see.
GO SEE IT!
Side Note: OMG I saw the Remember Me poster on my way to the theater to see Lovely Bones tonight and it just made the night even better. Seeing the poster in person made it real I guess? Cuz it’s weird you see a movie’s poster online, it’s just a picture, right? Well it is until you see it in a display case with ‘coming soon’ under it. Man the first half of this year is gonna be awesome with movies
P.S. – Sorry for the randomness & jumping around of things in this blog, I was doing 3 or 4 different things as I wrote this and that always results in half ass/sucky written blogs, haha.

The birth of my Bamboo
January 13th, 2010*waves*
Bamboo? Right? lol
What you dont know is that I had a really fucking awesome Christmas this year. My family gave me $450 worth of gift cards for BEST BUY……..yea me the dvd addict, that’s ALL I NEED RIGHT?!
Well believe it or not i’ve only spent $250 of it so far since Christmas and $200 went towards my Bamboo. What is a Bamboo you ask? Well its this….
It’s like a huge touch pad you can use as a mouse with your finger or a pen and well it makes DRAWING ON YOUR COMPUTER FUCKING AWESOMELY EASY. I just bought it last week, so I thought since I was bored instead of staring at my computer refreshing twitter WISHING someone would talk to me, that I’d try tracing an rpattz picture.
You’re probably wondering how the FUCK you trace a picture on your computer.
It’s simple really, open up any kinda of photo editing software, for me that’s photoshop. Choose the picture you wanna trace and open it up in that program, then of course you create a new layer and just start tracing lines and stuff on top of the picture.
It’s really not that important but it is pretty hard if you dont know what the fuck you’re doing.
ANYWAYS, here’s the picture I traced and how it turned out!
OMG DOESN’T IT LOOK GOOD?!
Normally I don’t give myself any credit but I’m sorry when I actually do something really good, I can’t help but beam with a huge smile on my face, like right now. Which if you know me is very fucking rare =)
I think the MAIN reason why I’m so proud of it, is whenever I have traced pictures in the past I used Adobe Illustrator not Photoshop because the ‘pen tool’ which is what I would use in Illustrator never worked the same way for me in photoshop like it did in illustrator.
So when I went to trace/draw this picture I ended up just using the brush tool instead.
O_o
At first it really was looking like shit, but omg i’m so proud of it now! =D
I think I might blow it up a bit and print it out/frame it or maybe put it on a tshirt?!
I dunno, I’m just so happy with how it turned out and now I’m kinda overwhelmed with what I could probably do with this Bamboo after seeing how good this turned out! =D
Goodbye 2009
December 31st, 2009I will miss you.
You were definately a very fun, very adventurous, a very OMG year and a year of alot of 1st times. The only way I can think of to give you an idea is to show you with a few pictures.
January
Went to Orange Bowl Fan Fest in Miami to see The All-American Rejects.
Found out that The All-American Rejects were playing in Miami at the Orange Bowl Fan Fest, so me, Leilani & Jennifer drove our ass down there to hang with Nadia, take pictures and watch the boys own the crowd’s faces with how awesome they are live.
Celine Dion played at my work O_o
Then towards the end of the month it got really busy at work, because the Super Bowl was gonna be in Tampa this year and all these celebrities would be in town trying to have shows for all the people coming from all over to Tampa for the Super Bowl. Which means where I worked had a week full of back to back shows, Dane Cook, Lightning games, random concerts and more importantly TO ME Celine Dion. I actually spent $140 on tickets to go see Celine Dion live for the very first time. It was the greatest $140 I spent on a show like ever, literally I cried when she appeared on the stage. She didn’t even say anything and I was bawling like a retard. And then lost my shit when she encored to ‘My Heart Will Go On’.
Yea that shit got real <3
Febuary
Me & Mom after a funeral in New Jersey.
My parents & I attended my dad’s Aunt’s funeral; my dad had flew up there a few days before us to be with his aunt before she passed away and then when she did my mom & I flew up there for the funeral. I think me & my mom were up there maybe a complete day, I can’t really remember, but despite the circumstances it was fun! I got to see snow fall while we were driving around and I can’t remember the last time I saw that!
A community I inspired was born.
I had become a regular on ONTD’s comments for any posts that had to deal with Twilight or Robert Pattinson. Spamming those posts with funny pics of rpattz or Twilight and through the months I became friends with several of the same posters that would also spam the same posts, so instead of having to wait for a rpattz or twilight posts on ONTD my friend Emily created the community, spammerpattz. A community for all the spammers that love rpattz and spam pics of him.
March
Trip to see How To Be in Alabama, we went & visited the King.
I saw a movie trailer for the movie ‘How To Be’ the year before staring Robert Pattinson and wanted to see it. Well it’s a very low budget film and ONLY because rpattz was so popular at the moment they got enough money to start screening it across the US at film festivals. The closest one to us was in Florence, AL so me, Leilani & Katie decided to drive up to Corinth, MS to visit my family and then the next day on our way back home drive over to Florence for the screening of How To Be.
Which ended up being an adventure all on it’s own because we trusted Leilani’s phone’s gps and when her phone said “your destination is to your left” we all turned to the left to see a huge field with one cow staring back at us. That was DEFINATELY NOT the University of North Alabama which is where the film festival was.
Oh did I mention that we had no idea where we were, besides out in the boonies. We barely had ANY connection on our phones which is what Leilani needed for her gps to work AND we only had like 20 minutes before the movie started to get there.
With the grace of God we got there right when the movie was supposed to start (had a run around cuz Leilani was too much of a chicken shit to actually ask someone where exactly the movie was being showed) but once we got to the door we found out that to view it was free! AND that they hadn’t even started the movie yet (ended up starting maybe 20 mins after we got there), plus there was barely anyone there! Movie was heart breaking, hilarious and cute, we all were glad we made the trip up to see it & as soon as it was over we were on the road home – 12 hours!
Went to see Val Emmich in GA & SC
Later in the month we confinced Erin to go with me & Leilani to GA & SC to see our favorite solo artist, Val Emmich! Erin was also awesome enough to let us take her car instead of wasting money on a rental! Was the first time I seen Val play live in 2 years, so an emotional experience it really was for me. It was Erin’s first time seeing him live altogether and needless to say we had her hooked after that trip
April
Went to see How To Be in Orlando
Leilani, Katie, Jennifer, Erin & me all drove to Orlando to see How To Be, because of wrong directions and near death situations we missed the whole money but the last 20 minutes. Will Call was closed already so me & Katie couldnt pick up our tickets and everyone else was gonna buy theirs there, but the lady let us in anyways! We did however get to see the Q&A with the cast after the movie was played which was hilarious. Didn’t get to talk to the cast because they were being hogged by a ton of twimoms, but we didn’t let it bother us because we were going to one of the other FL screenings, so we knew we had another chance to talk to them
Went to Tallahasse screening of How To Be. Met the cast
Very next day, Erin, Leilani, Katie & me drove 4 hours to Tallahassee to see the screening of How To Be and this time around since there wasn’t that many people that stayed after to talk to the director and cast, we actually got to! Again we were pushing it with time and got there right before they were to start showing the movie, stayed afterwards for the Q&A again, which didnt last long at all and someone ended up asking a pretty stupid question about Robert Pattinson, but can’t remember what it was. Just remember thinking ‘omg are you serious?’ haha.
Talked to the director & cast and confirmed to myself that I need to at least date a british man before I die, because the director said my name and I fell in love. Seriously I have never heard my name sound so magicial in all my life.
May
Drove 40 hrs (2476 miles) in 3 days.
May 1st began our 2,476 mile/40 hour road trip to Richmond, VA so Leilani could get some paperwork that would of took WEEKS to get, but only took 30 minutes since we drove up there. Then the SAME DAY drove to Corinth, MS to visit my family for a few hours, before the next afternoon driving to Birmingham, AL to see The All-American Rejects play live. Then right after the show drive back home to Tampa, FL to get a few hours of sleep before driving to Miami, FL (the same day) to see Little Ashes at the Gay & Lesbian Film Festival.
We didn’t think we’d make it or if we did we’d be deader then shit, but surprisingly the challenge is what made it fun as hell and the inside jokes that it created made it memorable and wiped our memories of how tired we actually were driving all that way, haha.
I got blamed for leaking the New Moon script.
Not even days after we got back home from that trip, my friend on twitter (who will remain nameless since I don’t throw people under buses unless they piss me off & deserve it) sent all her followers the New Moon script. So I downloaded it and saw that it was jumbled up like one huge paragraph, so I copy & pasted it into word & took 2 hours to reformat it so you can at least read it. Saved it & uploaded it to megaupload or something and then tweeted that one back to my friend so she could read it. Called it a night and logged off.
Next afternoon at work, I notice that I have a TON of replies on twitter telling me my link doesnt work, which I had no idea what they were talking about.
SideNote: I’d had twitter for 2 years but still didnt understand how it worked, I just tweeted what I was thinking or doing and sometimes someone would respond to it, I didnt know there was a search or anything where u can find tweets that were about specific things.
I’m all like ‘wtf’ on my way home from work cuz I just keep getting more and more replies as the hours went on at work. When I get home and check my mail I have a TON of emails about someone adding me on twitter, so I logged into twitter. I went from I dunno how many followers, maybe 60 to almost 350. Then upon reading my replies realized they were talking about the script link I sent my friend.
Long story short, I found out someone retweeted my link and then some sites got wind of it and posted articles about the leaked script and linking MY TWITTER PROFILE O_o
Articles about me leaking the New Moon Script:
Went to EyeCon in Orlando. Met Kellan Lutz & Jackson Rathbone.
Then that very weekend, Leilani, Katie & Me decided to go to this Twilight Convention, EyeCon that was happening in Orlando. The main reason why we went was because Leilani LOVES Jackson Rathbone and he was gonna be there; and Katie LOVES Peter Facinelli & Kellan Lutz and they were both going to be there. So I just went for the experience and to take pictures while the other 2 wanted to meet them or just see them in person.
Going to EyeCon opened our eyes to how the Twilight fans really are and that what you read in the news or hear is in fact true, especially about the TwiMoms, omg, haha. Leilani ended up buying me a photo opp for Jackson Rathbone (even though I really didnt want one) so I at least got a pic with him & Katie bought us a Kellan Lutz one, so me & Leilani decided to take it together and ask him if we could do the ‘too much rock for one hand’ pose which he smiled and said ‘hell yeah! I love that pose!’
June
Went to Harlem to sign the wall at the Apollo for MJ.
I couldn’t think of anything to do ’special’ for my birthday this year, so my first official thought was to go to LA for a few days since we hadn’t been since spring 2008; but then I found out that rpattz was filming in NYC and upon thinking about it realized that we hadn’t been to NYC in over 2 years! So we all decided to go to NYC for a weekend & some change. Drove up to Philly to do the Rocky Balboa challenge, which I totally owned, Leilani & Katie didn’t however, haha. Then dropped off our rental in Newark & then took the train into the city.
Katie & Leilani surprised me and booked us a hotel room at the fucking Waldorf-Astoria O_o which is just crazy expensive but omg I’m one of very few people that can say they’ve stayed there. Well not few, but for people with our kind of limited means, it’s pretty few i’m sure, haha. They even gave us champagne because it was my birthday trip!
On one of our days we were watching the news and saw tons of people outside of the Apollo signing this wall in honor of Michael Jackson since he had passed away just a few days before we left on this trip, so we ended up going to Harlem (scared shitless) to check it out and so we could at least say ‘we were there when..’ when we’re older, you know? Katie & Leilani ended up getting a boyfriend on our way out of Harlem, hahahahaha, too funny.
Watching the filming of 'Remember Me'.
Also a main goal of the trip was to catch some of the filming of ‘Remember Me’ but being as this would be our first time EVER trying to watch a filming of something we really had no idea what the fuck we were doing. Thankfully we met some really cool people on twitter that helped us figure shit out and where/what time things were and was actually able to see the DAZZLE in person 2 different times on our trip. Got close enough to touch, but each time was overwhelmed with my eyes trying to convince my brain that he was in fact standing in front of me and not looking at a picture.
Hearing his laugh was pretty much fixed that problem for me.
July
Went to the Titanic exhibit for my birthday.
We were still in NYC the first few days of July, but once we got back it was time to celebrate the actual date of my birth, so we went to the Titanic exhibit like we usually do. Went to Disney World to get my free birthday admission ticket even though we weren’t going, then headed back to Tampa to go eat dinner at Tias
Applied for a passport & got it few weeks later.
Few weeks later my dad had me and my mom apply for passports in case anything happened to my brother, who was stationed in Japan, so we’d already have the passports and could just fly over there. They tell you it takes 4-8 weeks to process but I got mine in a little under 2 weeks, which surprised the shit out of me, but who cares……just think of the possibilites of where I can go NOW O_o
August
Got in a car accident on the way to see Bobby Long. Missed his set, but met the man <3
Jennifer had finally been given a ship date for basic training at the end of September so me & Leilani thought we’d take her to Corinth, MS since that’s my favorite place ever, not only because it’s where all my family is, but also because it just holds such magicial emotions & love for me in the atmosphere. The day before we left for that trip though was the first Bobby Long show in the Tampa area, so after we picked up the car rental for our trip, we went and picked up Angelina, Jennifer, Katie & Leilani and went on our way to the Bobby show.
Ended up hitting a car on our way, which turned out to be a judge! He hardly had any damage done to his car and to be honest I was just grateful that no one was hurt AND that it was a rental i was driving and not my car, haha.
The police department ended up doing a circus act on trying to figure out which one would be covering it, troopers or actual police, before giving me 2 tickets and letting us go on our way.
Missed Bobby’s set, but got in free to actually meet the man, who was incredibly sweet and concerned for us since we got in an accident on our way to see him. We then found out that he liked the venue so much that he was coming back that thursday to play again, which thankfully we were driving back from Mississippi that day, so we’d finally get to see him live!
Took Jennifer to Corinth, MS to meet my favorite place & people on earth.
Made it to Corinth, MS with no problems, had a BLAST like we always do. Rode my uncle’s four wheeler, which was the first time Jennifer had ever done that, so I swear we almost died a few times. Went walking through the woods, drove around town getting lost. Got some good ass Corinth snow cones and ate at Don Julios. We also took Jennifer to Graceland, which she liked Elvis, but after we went she REALLY LIKED Elvis
September
Went to Forks Highschool in Forks, WA.
After the fun we had on my birthday trip in NYC, we decided that for Katie’s & Leilani’s birthday we would go on a trip as well. Katie decided that for her birthday (9/11) that she wanted to go to Vancouver and hopefully maybe see them filming Eclipse a little bit. So we planned a trip where we’d fly into Seattle (it was cheaper then vancouver) stay in Forks for the nite, then the next day drive up to Vancouver and stay there for 9 days.
Boy we had no idea what we were in for.
Flew into Seattle, meant with rain just like the books said and Forks was exactly the same way, but I had no idea I would fall in love with their nature’s beauty, omg. Katie got sick so once we got to the hotel in Forks she went to sleep and Leilani & I went to La Push to look around and was met with a breath taking sunset. Who knew something so beautiful would greet us in the land of the Failcob.
Taylor Lautner leaving set for the day.
Speaking of Failcob….
After Forks we drove up to Vancouver, which that very night we got lucky and Bobby Long was in town, so we got to see him perform live again and got a glimpse of rpattz & kstew at the end of it too O_o
The rest of the time in Vancouver was spent getting lost, trying to figure out the Canadian ways, looking for Eclipse sets and staying away from the crazy Twilight fans, haha.
Oh and dissing Taylor Lautner and not even knowing it was him, haha. That was priceless oh and then seeing him again the next day (the above picture) leaving the set of Jacob’s house.
October
Went back to Corinth to get Leilani a puppy named Lo.
When we went to Mississippi back in August to show Jennifer it’s magic, we were introduced to my aunt’s dog, Lo. Which Leilani immediately fell in love with and jokingly asked my aunt a few times that she wanted Lo. My aunt would of course joke back and say ‘take her with you’ haha.
Well little did we know my aunt wasn’t joking at all, so in October we went back to Mississippi just to pick up Lo and bring her back to FL so Leilani could keep her
I’ve never drove across country with a dog before, except with my parents when we’d be moving, but even then it was organized. This trip back home we didn’t know if she was gonna be crazy running around the car peeing on everything and just being distracting while we tried to drive back home.
Boy were we surprised, aside for a few times were she just had to lick our faces, she was a very good dog in the car. She mainly sleeped the entire time and only peed in the car ONCE out of the whole 13 hour drive!
Scored free tickets to see KISS for the first time!
So KISS had a show in Tampa and me, Angelina & myself actually scored free tickets to! I’ve never seen them and really didnt have much of a desire to see them but since we got free tickets we went and omg had such a blast! I didn’t realize I knew that many KISS songs, haha!
November
Welcome back Bobby Long <3
Bobby Long blessed the Dunedin Brewery with his talent once more. Best believe me, Angelina & Leilani were there. I dont see us ever messing a Bobby Long performance in our neck of the woods unless we’re just not in town, haha.
His show was amazing as always, but the fans were the worst at this show. Yelling at him to play certain songs and then just yelling out loud about how they didnt like a song he was playing. It was all fucking horrible and just completely rude, to be honest, but he still put on a good show & we got to talk to him for a little bit afterwards
Went to LA for the New Moon Premiere.
Katie, Leilani and me last year when we saw Twilight all agreed that no matter what we would be going to the New Moon premiere that following year. Well for a few months before the actual premiere we didn’t know if we we’d be able to afford to go, especially after spending 10 days in Vancouver, but with my skills at finding cheap deals on hotels, rental cars & flights I was able to find a way for us to go
Boy was I glad we did go, because it really was an experience that we all treasured. Not only that but we made some friends and made fun of all the drama going on with the Twilight Fans. We slept for 3 days in the street, in line just so we can get a glimpse of the stars of New Moon and it was our first premiere and I’d do it again in a heart beat!
December
Went to Orlando & Miami to see AAR.
The All-American Rejects were co-headling with Taking Back Sunday a tour that came to FL. So me, Angelina, Leilani, Katie & Erin went to see them at the House of Blues in Orlando. Needless to say Katie got TRASHED and wanted to motorboat Tyson real bad, so much so that she was yelling it every 2 seconds and crying when we were trying to leave, haha.
Then the next day me & Katie drove to Miami to see them perform as well and then went to the meet & greet afterwards at a shop down the street where Katie drank some more, haha. The drive home wasn’t quiet, let me tell you, haha.
Went to Ft. Jackson for Jennifer's Army graduation.
That very next weekend Leilani & Me drove up to Ft. Jackson, SC to see Jennifer’s graduation from the Army boot camp. First day was Family Day so we got to hang out with her and her family. We ended up playing basketball, Wii, did some shopping and then went and had dinner later that night. The next day was her graduation which right before it was to start someone pulled the fire alarm so we had to leave so they can check the building, haha.
After graduation we went and had lunch with her & her family at Ryan’s before me & Leilani headed back home to FL. Which before we left SC we decided to go try and find The Notebook house that Ryan Gosling’s character rebuilt in the movie
Which was an adventure all by itself, since we didn’t get to the address til after dark, so I THINK I saw it, but I’ll never know until we go another time to see it
So as you can see I tried to go somewhere every month of 2009 and surprisingly we pulled it off, even though after Vancouver we didn’t think we’d be able to afford to go anywhere after that, lol.
Another reason 2009 was so great was I became friends & actually met alot of awesome people because of Twitter: @lafemmeluna @jebs @kimvi @_beccaspage_ @nattycakes @_bitca_ @quartzlyn @caseymariex @raineradaire @pickyourpoison @cantidiamore @enthropologie @dcdazzlesme @ttlindsay @shanzer22 @lauramaniscalco @madiemma @krystle_ewe @dreamsofedward @atr81 @hiscoldtouch @annechantal @robisthedevil @pokerstarlight @candykizzes24@linzkittie @yankeegirl51680 @gabby1017 @robpattznews
The names in bold I actually met, but I hope that changes and I get to meet more of these amazing people!
So 2009 was probably the most adventurous year I’ve had since 2005, even if most of it had to deal with Robert Pattinson events. I seriously wouldnt change this ‘Year of Rpattz’ for anything, because it brought new friends into my life as well as amazing new experiences!
I just hope 2010 is half as amazing as 2009 turned out to be =D
FINALLY! VINNIE <3
December 24th, 2009
I miss these billboards *sigh*
But I miss seeing HIM period.
Well, as of yesterday that wait/missing ended, because I saw Vinnie!
I don’t know what it is but this whole fucking season I have hardly seen Vinnie at work. I think I’ve seen him a total of maybe 2 or 3 times, but it was always from afar or him leaving….pretty much he didn’t see me.
Yesterday at work we were really busy, which is odd for a hockey game setup because it’s pretty much our ‘default’ event at work, but we were kinda behind because the crew from the night before didn’t get the majority of the stuff done, so we had to finish it.
Also it being the last game before Christmas we had to worry about the santa hat give away we had to put out for the game. I of course decided to wear my awesome santa hat, since I knew people would be wearing them, which ended up not being true. I didn’t see someone wearing a santa hat until like 30 mintues before it was time for me to leave!
If I had a dollar for everytime someone said ‘nice hat’ or asked me where I got it or asked FOR IT altogether, I would be a rich girl, no bullshit, but then again I knew that would happen, because even though I got this from Spencer’s years ago, I have still til this day never seen anyone with one…..EVER.
Which to be honest I thought they would give me hell for wearing the hat, because of how long it was, it could get in the way of working and could be a hazard towards me..? I dunno I could see them saying that, lol. Plus that day I didn’t have any clean work shirts, so I ended up wearing my Vinnie shirt.
I think should be a rule/suggestion towards staff, to either wear your work shirts or Lightning shirts on game days, to show support and stuff. But then again I guess that’s just me being the fan that I am *shrugs*
Anyways, I don’t know what I was walking back from, but I was walking towards our office and I had just unwrapped my santa hat from around my neck (i’d wrap it around my neck like a scarf if it got in my way while I was working) to let it hang behind me, when I looked up to see someone walking towards me.
O_O
Now all day I would get a ping of nervousness, but would immediately squash it because of how I really haven’t seen Vinnie at all so far this season (which started at the beginning of October). So like any other time I shrugged the nervousness off, just telling myself it was just some other hockey player.
As we got closer to passing each other, I finally looked up at him, since I could tell he was on his phone from my side view. I was not expecting what I saw when I looked up at the guy.
Not only was it Vinnie in all his glory yumminess, but on top of that his hair was………..are their really words to describe it? It was pretty much sex hair, it was sticking up ALL OVER THE PLACE, but then on top of that it was wet or at least look like it, I didn’t really get enough time to commit to memory because within those seconds of looking, he looked up at me, still on the phone and 4 things happened….haha ‘4′ that’s his number
1. He did this double take thing, like he was looking at me just to be polite and give me a nod hello like he would with anyone passing him in the hall.
2. Realizing it was me, he then smiled the biggest and cutest smile I have seen from him in a long time.
3. He ‘finger’ waved at me. You know instead of waving with your hand, you wave your individual fingers at the person? Yea, he did that – still smiling.
4. I died.
I was just overwhelmed, first I was seeing Vinnie for the first time in months, he was SMILING at me AND he fucking did that cute as finger wave that he’s done to me a few other times.
Just OMG, his finger waves are like he’s casting some sorta magical dazzle spell on you, but I fall victim to EVERYTIME.
In fact if he didn’t stop finger waving at me, I would of never heard him ask me, “How are you?”….yes I would of still been staring at his fingers like they were the most talented things in the world.
I practically whispered ‘Goooood’ because I realized I hadn’t breathed the whole time and immediately asked him how he was, which he said ‘good’ as well and that was it.
He was on the phone and I didn’t wanna bother him so I let him walk on by, but seriously, omg.
I know this really isn’t anything at all and believe me half the time I don’t think he likes me at all, but then he constantly does cute shit like that and I cant help but just *sigh*
I mean seriously, an EXTREMELY good looking talented man, goes out of his way to smile, wave AND ask me how i’m doing? That has to mean he at least likes me right? And I don’t mean like he ‘liiiiiiiikes me’ but that he likes seeing me or whatever.
I’d rather have that then nothing at all, because I have seen the looks he’s given other people and I would assume with how he was looking that he didn’t like that person AT ALL, haha.
ANYWAYS as soon as he passed me and was completely out of my sight I immdiately did a silent screen. Opened mouth and all as I walked back to our office. Entered the office and then wrote this on our dry erase board….
….the same dry erase board I drew Jurassic Park’s logo on and some asshole erased a few months back *shakes head*
Co-workers just rolled their eyes at me, cuz they are always making fun of how I am around Vinnie, lol.
Jennifer ended up showing up an hour or so after that to visit everyone and give cookies. She kinda got cockblocked by some of our co-workers since they were talking to her when Vinnie left, but she at least got to ask how he was and wished him a Merry Christmas
Definately the best part of the day was seeing him and maybe walking into going to the game, but we lost 5-2…..ugh Smith, but whatever, was still an awesome day because of Vinnie
where the fuck have I been?
December 24th, 2009Busy, bored, lazy?
Yea pretty much, haha.
I have so much stuff I need to blog about but lately I have just been completely lazy, too bored to WANT to blog about stuff or actually busy with work, haha. To show you what I mean here’s a recap of what’s been going on since the last time I blogged….
- saw AAR in Orlando & Miami
- went into work the monday after the Miami show, even though I wasnt supposed to (2 hrs of sleep)
- worked to set up for a hockey game that wednesday
- left that night for SC for Jennifer’s graduation
- went looking for The Notebook house on our way back home that friday
- worked to set up for Jingle Ball that sunday
- whole weeks work of setting up for the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament
- go with Leilani to see Brothers
- Jennifer came home the 18th
- FINALLY going Christmas shopping (8 & 1/2 hours & $350+ spent)
- seeing Avatar
- hung out with Jen
- take Jen to see New Moon
- employee ice skating party
- worked set up for hockey game
- went to hockey game with Jennifer
And of course in the middle of all that was other random shit like trying to catch up on sleep, dealing with drama and trying NOT to break my Christmas Rule which is on Dec 1st i cant buy myself anything, which I broke this year, haha.
Either way I have tons of pictures I need to edit and all that jazz, but who knows when that’ll happen.
Anyways the real reason why I came on here was to wish everyone a safe & Happy Holidays!
My present to you, an oldie but goodie for us AAR fans
Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas!
Uneventful Eventful Day
December 3rd, 2009Today was one of those – UGH WHY AM I AT WORK STILL – days because there was barely anything to do until about 2pm, because there were meetings and press conferences to break down and set for other meetings.
Speaking of press conference, there was a press conference for the Lingerie Bowl which is girls playing football in pretty much swimsuits *gag*
The funny thing about this press conference was there was more MALE EMPLOYEES at it then there was press. Seriously there were like 3 people sitting in the 24 chairs we set up for the damn thing, lol.
Not to mention there’s like fucking 15 different quarterbacks on their team! [theres only 10 players on their team]
They did some ‘plays’ for the press which just looked nasty/dirty with them bending over and shit in those bikinis and their throwing is crap, but some of them can catch kinda good *shakes head*
After the press conference we of course went to break it down and on my way out to the field I heard my name being called, which I thought it was coming from the field so I started walking faster but then heard it again and realized it was behind me & not in front of me. So I turned and saw that Courtney was behind me waving.
I can’t even tell you the last time I saw Courtney, so I was immediately nervous, but when she got up to me the nervousness was gone completely. It was like old times and I really loved that.
She was late for work, but ended up standing there talking to me for a few good minutes about Miley Cyrus’ show last night, The Next Big Thing, AAR and her going to school next month, which I’m happy for her
It was also cute because she was blushing & her hands were shaking the whole time while talking to me, like she was really nervous to talk to me. So I pointed it out and asked her if she wanted to give me a hug, cuz I dunno it looked like she really wanted to.
I then let her go cuz she was crazy late for work, but hopefully I can hang out with her soon, but we’ll see.
All I know is……
…..i really miss shit like this.
So talking to her was probably a highlight for me for today, because seriously it was like no time has passed between us seeing each other in person…which has been like MONTHS. It was like old times and it sucks because when it comes to wanting to be Courtney’s friend I have Leilani & Katie not wanting that, so I’m completely alone with that, but it’s whatever, I’m friends with alot of people online that they dont like, what’s one more person gonna do? LOL
Besides I think Leilani would be her friend again & Katie if they just talked to her and got all their issues worked out *shrugs*
Onto other things, I want to do this on Friday….
….but I have no one to go with me.
It’s for The All-American Rejects show in Ft Walton Beach, FL on Friday, then they’re in Orlando, FL…Saturday (going) and then they’re in Miami, FL on Sunday (need someone to go with).
I hate that Leilani wont be able to go to 2 out of the 3 shows, but I almost feel like I need to start doing things with other friends? I dunno, like branch out, because I know I won’t be able to guilt trip Leilani into doing alot of the normal shit we used to do. She just has too much on her plate now and I’d feel really bad, I just love her for trying her hardest to want me to go to those shows regardless if she could go or not.
Because going to AAR shows is a me & her ‘thing’. Seriously since 2003 we have been to 60+ AAR shows and this would be the FIRST shows I went to without her, so it’s really hard to wrap my mind around going, especially when I have no one to go with.
Like I could take Katie but she doesn’t wanna get in the crowd 
So I dunno i probably will only go to the Orlando show which is the one Leilani is able to go to *shrugs*
Moving on….
Just took me almost an HOUR to find a watchable pilot episode for the show Glee and its alright, I’m guessing the 2nd episode will be the one that sells me on this show, otherwise I really don’t see me watching it like everyone seems to be doing :-/
Oh random fact I am OBSESSED with this song for WHATEVER reason….
i dunno what it is, but it’s on repeat thanks to my brother Travis, lol.
<3
P.S. – WTF? = The Plan is Flawless
Miley just being Miley?
December 1st, 2009
She USED 2 B so cute!
Which means what in particular?
Cause after what I saw today at work I would not want to do anything remotely like Miley. Especially if I had kids that were idolizing her, we would be burning the merch of hers I had bought them right about now.
Let me back up….
Today at work Miley Cyrus’ tour stopped for a show, so all day today I was setting up for it, which is pretty typical on event day. Kinda a calm day even though we were constantly working all day…in fact the Jonas Brothers show was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more stressful then hers today.
Didn’t appreciate the snottiness of one of her crew members……..even when I was BEING NICE and offering her to go ahead of me so she didn’t have to wait for me while I pushed a cart.
*rolls eyes*
Anyways after we finish he crazy chair set…….which I feel bad for the people that got seats in the ‘pit area’, its hard to explain but they’ll be facing the band the whole night, while Miley sings there too but can also walk on this little walk way to this bigger stage behind their seats. Meaning they’d have to turn fully around in their seats to see her.
Like i was saying, after we finished that me & Angelina went looking for a supervisor to find something to do or were we looking for tape? I can’t remember, but anyways leaving the shop we almost ran right into Miley Cyrus…….who was talking on a cellphone, toting TWO PURSES.
O_o
That’s not even the worse thing, my short lived giggle at her ‘natural’ snarl was cut short because of the pretty much NOT THERE skirt she was wearing!
Seriously I went from about to barf in my mouth to complete and utter shock.
This 17 year old (she’s 17 now right?) girl is a role model to little girls EVERYWHERE………and I mean LITTLE GIRLS.
Yea, yeah Britney Spears did the same thing too, and I also had this very same opinion about it as well.
What is it with Disney producing whores? I mean seriously….
You know I’ve had a ’shes a skank’ opinion about Miley since she broke up with Nick Jonas, because that’s when she started dressing more trashy and hanging out with that Mandy girl, but I was gonna keep my mind open for if I saw her today or whatever.
Her walking with that skirt on, her nose in the air like she was too good to even look at anyone, her vibe was just all freaking bad. And it threw me into complete & utter shock…….not only because of what she was wearing but how right I was about how she might possibly be!
I’m sure you’re thinking I’m overracting, but obviously I’m not because when she FINALLY appeared for her soundcheck (made her fans wait a little over an hour listening to her band play ‘party in the usa’ over and OVER – without vocals/lyrics) she was wearing shorts!
So obviously she KNOWS how trashy she dresses & that’s just disgusting, i’m sorry.
Then the whole soundcheck I felt bad for her fans because she did maybe a whole ONE song, then took one picture with people and the peaced the hell out. I mean wtf?!
Another thing that pissed me off was the whole time she was on stage for her soundcheck she was interacting with her band/crew, i wanna say she said maybe 4 things to the crowd, it was like she was ignoring them, wtf.
*shakes head*
In conclusion the lesson for the day was that Miley Cyrus in my book is now a confirmed whore…….I’m sorry, but there’s just no coming back from that.
Yea I totally want my future kids idolizing someone like her *shakes head*
Miley I really did use to believe that you really did have the best of both worlds, but your 15 minutes of fame are slowly ticking down, you better come up with a better plan because dressing trashy didn’t work out for Paris Hilton either.
