MIN MACABRE

What happened last night? I sure as hell don't know... Note to self, must update later today.

It’s been a very, very long time since I updated, I’m very behind. So much has happened and changed since my last entry. I’m no longer touring, a conflict of interests in a sense is the reasoning behind it… however I’ve been able to focus on bettering myself this summer. Summer of 2008 was spent in PBC doing my first true love, riding horses. I got a job as an apprentice to a Grand Prix rider and I got to ride some of the nicest horses I’ve ever seen. I rode 7 days a week and between 6 to 8 horses per-day. I traded in sleeping all day and staying up all night, for waking up at 6am and going to bed at 9pm. I’m no longer sickly pale, but golden tan, and in general I’ve never been happier. Beyond horses, I reconnected with old friends from elementary school and later reignited an old flame. Best summer in a long time.

Fastforward to the end of August, I moved back to Miami, and started class. Life is so much easier and simpler when you know where everything is on campus and you no longer get lost trying to find your classes. I’m so happy with the way everything is now, extremely content. September just began and I know it’s going to be a good month. Two weeks from today I’ll be in pure bliss, two months is was way too long apart…

soooo if you can come and hang out with me at any (or a few?) of these dates, please do and bring me sugar-free Redbull!!!

So sitting here in my dorm, I’m attempting to reflect on these past few days

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED? I have not partied so hard in years, and I means years

Finished up the class last Thursday, drove up to the 561

Went out a job hunt Friday, then chilled with my Linds

Then comes Saturday, and what a Saturday it was

Woke up mid-day, then "studied" for finals (I burned CDs to give to the bands)

Got all dolled up and headed to Revolution

A sold out show, no surprise there

Met up with the girls and waited for the show to start

I first want to make the point that the girls are so good at convincing me to do things I don't really want to do, soooooo they finally get me to get up the nerve to walk on to my boys' bus and ask for some passes so we wouldn't have to watch in the crowd, this is what they said to me "they love you, they won't care if you just walk on the bus" I don't really know why I listened to them, but I did now that truthfully they wouldn't care

so I go to the bus, knock, and luck must've been with me, because their TM was sitting up front writing an e-mail and after giving me a massive hug he asked me how many passes I needed, that's why I love him ;-)

Before the boys played, I hung out on the bus while they were all watching the FOB DVD

The show was amazing as always, a really tight set, no mistakes I saw/heard

Afterwards my new friend Jackie and I go on the bus to wait for the real party to begin

Jackie, Alex, myself, and our friend Patron enjoyed ourselves for a bit before they had to go do the whole talk to fans sign autographs thing

fast-forward about an hour, we all get out shit together, or really just me and four of the boys, we all go over to the nightclub/bar next door, and the perks of being with a band, free drinks all night!!!

Way too many shots later and lots of bootie dancing as well, all but one of the original bar group made our way back to the bus

The night ended with a bang, absolutely amazing ending to a dreamlike night

 

after that I got to my parents house at 5am, finally fell asleep at 8am and woke up at 10, too many drinks mixed with Redbull I’d say... when I did finally get my ass up, my back was killing me and I still have no idea why, I’d say either because of jumping/tackling people, getting low in the club, or falling in the bus, who knows

 

Got back to FIU Sunday afternoon

Today, Monday, my last two finals

And now I'M DONE WITH MY FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE!!!

Dinner with the tripod tonight and shopping at AA

Move back Wednesday for good

Saturday night Culture Room

Sunday J* in Miami

Monday my bfflz in ESTK<3 + my girlie Alexia

Thursday the trip of a lifetime begins

Fly to Boston Thursday, The Cab + WTK, then Breathe Carolina at Paper

Friday jenjen's fashion show

Then Saturday and Sunday...

BAMBOOOOZZZZLE

 

Here are some picks from Saturday...

This has been the most intense insane weekend of my life, the best pre-birthday weekend ever. I dare anyone to try and top it!

Friday West Palm

Saturday drove to O-town, Silverstein pt. 1 and fun times at Downtown Dinsey

Sunday Ft. Lauderdale Silverstein pt. 2 and ultimate fighting practice, I’m covered in bruises

Drove back down to the 305, and got back to LVS at 3am this morning

Tonight Sarizzle and I are heading to Tampa, and tomorrow Silverstein pt. 3

4 days until I’m 19, I’m not as excited as I’d like to be, but that’s ok

I’m living in an alternate universe, where I get to do whatever I want, whenever I want, and I’m loving every second of it…

 

 

where to begin

my break so far has been pretty insane

out until early morning every night

hanging out with friends

driving around Palm Beach County

I really, truely love my life and all the people in it

Christmas morning(this morning) I only had a few presents to open, but they were some good ones including:

and

and

ofcourse, the webcam that allowed me to take the pictures :-)

 

so again, life is wonderful right now and I'm just living it day by day

I stopped really making any plans and found it to be to much easier if I just go with the flow

I think Christmas miracles may do exsist because me and a person that I thought would never be on good terms EVERRRR actually made up today, surprise surprse there

I've become really confused by a lot of people lately as well and why those with significant others always seem to take an interest in me... who knows, I must give off that bad girl vibe haha

also it looks like I have a job this summer and it'll require me to live out of a van with 6 boys for about two months, oh joy! lol it'll be an adventure
