Common Ground

Today is Sunday! The lamest day of the week. But that's okay, because I don't have to work; don't have to go anywhere; don't have to care. So I'm sitting here in scrubs with my hair all over the place and it's 3 PM. Gotta love summer!

The week was dull, to say the least. Mon-Wed I worked. Thursday was my first day off in a long time. I slept. And I loved it. I layed around all day, until Matt called me. It appeared as though he was finally out of his mono sleeping coma, and wanted to hang out. So after a lot of arguments, we settled on Superman Returns 3D on Imax. We drove over to McBrides house to see if he wanted to go, and Allie was there. They agreed to go, and so Matt and I went to Meijer to use the coin star. I won with a total of $54.00; toatlly destroying his $30 some. Then off we went, not exactly sure of how to get to celebration. Instead of staying on 96 and getting off on the cedar street exit... we got off at Downtown Lansing. We were just looking for Lansing... well... sort of looking... We were laughing too hard to notice. I had no idea where the hell we were, so I called McBride.

"McBride I think we're a little lost..."
"Where are you guys?"
"Uh... well we're passing the Lugnutz stadium right now...."
"How the hell did you get there?!"

It was really funny, or at least for Matt and I it was. We drove through the bad part of Downtown Lansing (me freaking out the entire way through). Eventually made it back onto the highway. Then.... found ourselves on campus. Since we had missed the movie by... oh... 45 minutes-- we just went out to eat.

Friday was also a lot of fun! It was Common Grounds! I felt really bad that I basically told Brie she couldn't come, so I called her and told her we were going to Meijers to buy her a ticket. It was an interesting trip, my brothers truck hates me, so it doesn't start whenever I get into it. I hate that truck >:(

Anyway, we got the ticket, went to the mall to find Brie something to wear, went back to my house, caked on the black eyelines, and dark eye shadow. After 30 minutes we were ready! And! We looked hot! (Insert peer laughter here). I don't think I've ever had that much eye makeup on, but Brie kept telling me I should wear it like that more often. Jess finally got there, and we were off! We grabbed a taco bell, stopped at Meijers to pick up some water (that we wouldn't even be aloud to take in) and headed to Downtown Lansing! We parked at the theatre that Jess works at, and walked, in the rain, to the East Gate. We got there an hour early, and stood in line. Finally they opened the gates, and people were trying to cram themselves in. They checked everything, and Jess had to take her camera all the way back to her car because it could take video. She was pissed, but told us to go inside and wait for her to get back. So Brie and I went in, and wandered around and made our way to the East Main Stage. Haelstorm came on and we were listening to them. They were pretty good, not to mention their drummer was toatlly gorgeous. Half way through Haelstorm, Jess made it back, and we made our way to where Keith Anderson was playing. I felt really out of place, I was in all black and looked pretty emo, and all around us were hicks. Lets just say I got a lot of unfriendly stares.

Waited around, blah blah. Got hit on by a creepy guy, blah blah. Keith Anderson was late, yatta yatta.

FINALLY! He came out on stage. There was a woman behind us that was going crazy. Or.. I think she was a woman... She whipped out pictures of her and Keith, like.. A LOT of pictures. I swear a couple of those were photoshopped... Back to the story... We stayed for a couple of his songs because we wanted to get to Trapt. He sang my favorite song of his, Every Time I Hear Your Name. LOVE IT! Walked back over to the East Main Stage, and crammed our way into the crowd for Trapt. We were in the middle, and having an absolute blast. Then three guys showed up behind us, and apparently heard me say, "No standards" and kept bumping into us. By the time Trapt was over, people were pushed up next to each other, and everyone was sweating like crazy. Then! SHINEDOWN CAME OUT!!!!! Everyone went CRAZY! The three guys by us, Matt, Pat and Kyle were all over us. There was so much alcohol, and so much pot (WHICH I DIDN'T DO BTW!). It was an awesome night!

Things to Remember:
"We're just skipping over 3rd base and heading straight for home!" -Brie
The Nick May look-a-like
"I wish I was water proof like the ducks..." - Brie
The motorcycle guy flashing us his nipple
"I like your boobs." - Some guy to Jess
"I want to ask you a very personal question..." "Yeah I'll have sex with you!!" -Shinedown to the crowd/me to Shinedown
The creepy indian guy who kept saying he was going to steal my information
A very drunk Kyle groping Brie
Not telling, 25 year old Kyle, that Brie was only 15
Sounding like I had just sucked in helium walking back
The guy that hooted at us, and came around the corner for more
Trying to walk to the car with a horrible buzz

It was a great night.

Bbq Sauce anyone ;)

Ciao.

Dear Hilary,

There are some days that I just do not understand you. The days when you look in the mirror and actually think you look pretty, or the days when you think that cute guy was looking at you. You never look pretty, and he's never looking at you. Nobody looks at you, and they never will. You aren't worth anyone's time; you are nothing but a mistake. The biggest mistake that was put into this family, into this city, into this world. Get over youself-- no one will ever have you.

Just thought you should know.

The side of you that you try to hide

Eh... Nothing exciting.

So I've finally got time to update, and I thought I should eventually.

Life is good. The initial shock of losing my aunt is gone, and it's beginning to sink in. It's easier to handle now.

Work is... good. Busy more than anything. BUT! It is easier to get through the day when Brian pops in and out. Hehe. Infatuation is fun. He's cute; shy, but very cute. Too bad he's like 20 some. Then theres Shameer... absolutely hilarious. I swear he comes into work stoned. NOBODYS EYES ARE THAT RED ALL THE TIME! He makes me laugh, and I think he may have a tiny, itty-bitty crush on me.

Hmm.. Jess is back from Germany! YAY! I GET MY IPOD BACK!

Up North with Brie was fun. We got into a lot of trouble. Muaha.

Well I'm off to Jessica's house. Ciao.
