Oh Hey

I was in a movie. Apparently.

I even have like... close ups.

Which are some-what mortifying...
because like. I'm definitely way shyer than I seem.

And like Till Lindemann, I am highly weirded out by people like... staring at me.

So I just got back from the film premier. Hahaha.

And I don't think I've ever blushed so hard in my entire life. Or laughed so hard in an "oh god people are looking at my face, fuck me and my life this is terrible" sort of way.

SO... to see my sweaty mug stealing a guitar pic for my friend, go buy Silverstein's DVD tomorrow. It's called Decade and should be in any music store for less than $20.

Hollywood Undead =/

There's this band called Hollywood Undead. I guess the only reason I heard about them was because Silverstein toured with them a while back and then was Hollywood Undead for Halloween. So I decided to check them out or whatever. I feel like I shouldn't like them at all... since I guess they're not really my style or scene or whatever. Only... I listened to them, and they're kinda catchy and amazing. But I still feel like I shouldn't like them... but is that pretentious of me? My friend suggested I just keep them as a guilty pleasure. I think I maybe agree.

God Knows I Don't Want To Be An Angel

So yesterday I got back to Michigan to find that my parents are "officially" divorced and have been dating other people for a while. Yeah... thanks for telling me.

I went to a Silverstein/Blessthefall/A Static Lullaby/+someone else show tonight at the Majestic. Pretty boss venue. I'm glad I went instead of selling my ticket to buy a Rammstein/Emigrate CD. It was my first time at a venue with no barrier. There was this fun thing under the stage right in front of me that I could stand on and have the stage at my hip level while everyone else was shoulder level with it.

I spent the better part of the show in a seething rage due to the fact that I was repeatedly stepped on and kicked in the head by crowd surfers. I was also just about to cry half the time and definitely attempted to cause as much pain in return as I possibly could. Cos you know I'm friendly and understanding like that when my face has been shoved into an amp so hard that my eyebrow bleeds and swells up. Also, I got kicked in the nose at least twice.

After the show I had a lot of fun talking to the guys in the bands, so it was ok.

Verona Lives Inside Of You

This morning I woke up annoyingly early and took a few naps before finally getting up and getting somewhat ready for the show tonight. I took my time because I knew David wouldn't be at my place for a while.

When he did arrive, we got sparkly; me on purpose, him by accident. I finished getting ready and then we took the subway to queen and then the streetcar to the pizza parlour for some yummy pizza before heading out to the venue. We were a little late so there was no line to get in. They confiscated David's whiskey at the door... Hahahaha, and it took forever for them to take my ticket, but I said hey to Shanye in the meantime.

Anyway, we got in and were seperately rocking out to our mp3 players... And then my battery died and I was sad. I didn't dig the openers so much. We went and talked to Shane and Nicole for a bit and I got one of those badass $40 purple hoodies that I've wanted forrrrever (since I'm obsessed with brass knuckles) and then for $20 because Shane is fucking AWESOME!!!!! I luff it!!! Its all fuzzy and American Apparely.

I talked to Nicole forever about Detroity things and such. She's sooo awesome. Haha, she thought I was 20-something, I was like yeah, I'm 18, but I get that a lot. We talked like all through the opening bands, and I met Kevin's girl Carly who is nice; didn't talk to her much though. I like how everyone always thinks I'm like... 23, I don't even know why. But its helpful when trying to get into clubs.

Silverstein was aweesome, especially since there was noone there so I got pushed up to the barrier straight away and noone crowdsurfed over my head. They played a few new songs, (the first three off their new album), and a ton that I'd never seen live, but had always wanted to. Smile in Your Sleep, Call it Karma, Discovering the Waterfront, um... I can't think of the rest off the top of my head, but it was a great set!

Afterward, I went and got to meet PK's girl Courtney who is here visiting him from Texas. They are totally adorable and she's really nice. I also met Josh's girl who is really fun. I can see why those two are together, haha. They were telling me about their cute dog who threw up today. Yummers? Haha.

Josh said I should come to their show in Burlington, and then I told him I was only 18, so he asked PK if I would be allowed anyway if I paid, and he said no, but they both said I should use a fake ID. Hahahahahaha, they're sooo awesome. I conveiniently have 3 fake IDs. However, I don't want to go all the way to Burlington in case it doesn't work, as that would be a waste of $$$

My poor dear wayfarers got lost somewhere behind the stein merch table, but maybe they'll turn up? I hope so. I adore them! Anyway, some security dude got rid of me, so I thanked Shane for the hoodie and got a hug then David and I headed to the streetcar and then went to Macca's. I got frenchfries and a drink.

I love Silverstein!

8 Mile(s)

Today was the most exhausting day I've had since I was in marching band, or since that horrid time in Costa Rica when I went on a 6 hour hike through a leech infested swamp.

I woke up, got professional looking, then headed to Union Station via the subway. From there I bought a Go bus ticket out to Richmond Hill. I waited around there for a while, then got on the bus and headed out.
The Go station was about 4 miles from the place where I had an interview, unfortunately, I lacked the funds to take busses, so I walked the four miles. I got to the place at the exact time I was supposed to be there... even though I left epic early.
I had a mini interview, then they decided to interview me again after talking to other people. We had a little group interview demonstration thingy, and then I got interviewed again and was told that I was hired, which was exciting.

I have to go back for the next three days for training.

I walked back the 4 miles to the Go station in the dark, only to find out that Go transit doesn't go back to Toronto at night. So a nice bus man drove me to Yonge, and gave me a transfer to get to a bus that would take me to Finch station. Only, he didn't drop me off at the right place, so I had to walk a while to the actual bus stop.

The bus came and it took forever to get to Finch, and then the subway ride took forever as well and was COLD!!! It pretty much sucked and now I feel like death and I so don't want to go anywhere tomorrow, but oh well.

Oh. I sell knives. Woo.

Ah, also, I heard a clip of Silverstein's new single. I don't like it.

My Hair Looks Like Cotton Candy, My Heart Is Made Of Sequins

Today was a pretty lazy sunday. We had a new roommie move in. She's pretty cool and super nice, her name is Shayna and she lives in Melissa's old... closet, for lack of a better word. I put more pink in my hair and now it looks more like I wanted it to originally.

I've got a new TV obsession snce Andrea showed Shayna and I how to work the TV. Its one of those race type reality shows and its SO hilarious. I was like, dying the whole time we were watching it. It was amaaaazing. I can't wait to watch it again next week.

Totally pissed an a half about the Silverstein show in Burlington being 19+ grrrrr... Who the fuck plays 19+ shows, like really??!!? Screwwy.

A bunch of the girls and I sat around laughing earlier, but now its fast approaching bed time, so its mostly quiet.

Also, this is the first update from my new phone since the internet is down as usual.

Maybe Jackson Does The Astro

Yesterday I went shopping in the morning for Mum's present. I went to FYE and got her a gift certificate as well as one from Borders and some yummy smelling shower gel from bath and body works.I also bought Silverstein's two most recent albums while I was at the mall. After that I headed home for a little bit and then I got starving so I headed over to Mum's and chilled with Moo for a bit. She's the cutest ever. Anyway Mum loved her present and the card. She said she only got me a few presents, but as it turns out, she got me a huge bag full. Ace.

So we went to this cute restaurant called Pete's which was right near Goodrich. I had really good pasta and then for dessert I had fried pineapple with rum sauce which was good as hell. Anyway after that I went home and watched three DVDs which my mother got me for Christmas. John Cleese was a total babe when he was younger.

This afternoon I went to the mall with some christmas money and bought a new belt that actually fits, as well as a Cd player and some headphones since mine are broken and my ipod is totally wonky. I also bought some batteries at target.

After that, I went to the tattoo parlour to get my wings shaded some more, but I ended up just hanging out and making people think I worked there which was pretty funny. Some guy got his tongue pierced and he was pretty boss. Anyway I hung out all day there with some awsome strippers who were from Vegas. Brandon and I went and got slurpees after a bit, came back and smoked a blunt, and then was totally tripping while watching Ricki getting her boyfriend's last name tattooed down her spine. Ouch.

Anyway I drove Brandon home and it was snowing like hell. I kept thinking I was about to slide off the road like I did once last year while driving around with Brad. It was crazy, I swerved up onto someone's lawn to avoid a car, slid for a few houses, and then swerved back onto the road to avoid a tree. All with Brad calmly talking on his phone. Craziness.

I might chill with Eric for a while tonight, but I might just go to sleep.

Silently Reflection Turns My World To Stone

Today I woke up at 8 am, feeling positively ghastly, checked my facebook, and promptly went back to sleep until noon. At noon, I woke up still feeling like complete and utter crap. Great. I had a fun conversation with Jeremy though, which was a plus.

I went downstairs to make something to eat and discovered that the oven was entirely full of pots and pans… I didn’t know people actually did that, but now I know where the pots are for next time I want to make soup. I was feeling a little better at around 3 after having had a whole bunch of ice cream and hot chocolate powder to eat, so I rang up my mother and told her that instead of having sushi with her tomorrow for lunch, I thought we should have it tonight for dinner. She agreed, so that was settled.

I’m pretty glad that I brought my sleeping bag with me when I moved instead of packing it up, because I can honestly say that I think if I hadn’t, I might have had frost bite by now as my house lacks central heating, or any heat for that matter. My roommates keep telling me to buy a space heater but I really don’t have the money and with the sleeping bag and sweatshirts that I’m constantly enclosed in when I’m home, only my hands get cold, which I can totally deal with. I’m not entirely sure how this affects my immune system, but I’ll be gone in January, so I’m sure it can’t be all that bad.

Half-way between youtube and television, I remembered just how much I love Michael Jackson’s music. But then again, I love all music. I related this to Libby and she realized how much she also loves Michael Jackson’s music. The best part about his music, is that it’s all so easy to dance to. I also got to thinking how hilarious I look doing a lip curl… and how amusing it is that I actually convinced a security guard that I am Elvis Presley’s (illegitimate) granddaughter because of it, but I could be, who knows; I was adopted, talking of which, my biological mother would now be about 36, interesting.

I went to my parents’ house and we loaded some things into my car and then I headed out to the sushi restaurant with my mother. I stuffed myself with rice and veggies and then took a shivery walk around the corner to the Starbucks to get some hot chocolate and a cappuccino for my mother. I was warm and toasty on the way back. I got my mum and we went to the parking garage and got my car then drove to her apartment.

I helped her load things out of the car and brought them into her apartment for her. Stole some soymilk. And then left. Just before I got home, I stopped into a 7-11 and got a huge disgusting multi-flavor slurpee. It was 40 oz of blue raspberry, cherry, and something orangey. Delicious! Anyway, since the 7-11 is right around the corner from my house , I’ll probably frequent it from now on.

Anyway, I was listening to Metro Station on the way home and came to the conclusion that even though The Killers and Silverstein are my two favourite bands, Shake It is decidedly my favourite song. I can listen to it all day, every day… and sometimes I do.


ps. thanks for reading my blog Rob!!!

A Gold Heart Never Rusts

So... this morning I woke up at 5 am, went back to sleep until 10, and when I finally did wake up, I came to the conclusion that I'm rather ill. Carol called and we had a lovely conversation that lasted forever, which is always fun. She's agreed to come with me to get my back shaded on wednesday.

I read for a while and then decided I wanted sushi. I called mother to see if she wanted to come and get sushi with me, she did, but the sushi place was closed, so we're going for dinner tomorrow night. I read some more and then discovered that the new Killers album came out a few days ago, so I downloaded it.

I burned a copy and since I couldn't get the last two songs, I added two completely unrelated singles. Broken Stars by Silverstein, and Capture by Off The Zodiac, my friend's band. I brought it over to her at her new apartment, which is a pretty boss place. I ate her food, played with her electric chair... haha, and taught her how to use the microwave.

I went home and talked to Libby online, then I had the most amusing audio chat with Brandon of Forever In A Day. Apparently he's super drunk and in the studio recording a christmas song, but misses talking to me... which is interesting, because I was rather under the impression that he was ignoring me, but whatevers. It's possibly because my mother canceled my texting, oh well. It was a very amusing conversation which continued to be amusing after it switched to a normal typing chat.

Anyway, due to the fact that I feel like crap, I'll probably go downstairs and get some rum as it always seems to make me tired, and then go to sleep.

Cracked Ribs

So, this morning, I think I woke up at 3 am or so, maybe. I had to wait until 9 to go to the bank and get money, and then I left at 10. The drive was shorter than it was to Cleveland, but the distance was further... weird! I basically went through all my CD's and listened to Metro Station the whole time. I totally got lost because my GPS told me that the venue was an empty grassy hill. I had to ask some people in a gas station where it was and they directed me right to it. When I got there, I stayed in my car for a while to do my make up, which later got totally spattered and ruined and I probably looked like a total freak, but I'm sure everyone understands.

So anyway, I met some cool girls when I walked out to get in line at about 2. They were all 15 and let me sit with them. After a while, Shane, followed not so closely by Max walked into what we thought was a sports store. One of the girls and I decided to take a bathroom break then. We walked into the sports store thinking, how hard could this be? And discovered that we had just walked into a mall... dammit.

We stalked around for a little while then went to the bathroom. After, we came out and were walking back to the entrance when we saw Shane. We started giggling and whispering and turned around to find some old man right behind us who was decidedly not Shane Told. I was like, "Oh... hi." Haha. I'm such a dork. Anyway... that was fun. We decided to go into a skate shop to look at the snowboards and Max was in there. Apparently he wears glasses. Adorable. Anyway, we talked for a bit, because... I dunno... he knows me and is nice like that. His mom went to the Chicago show and got drunk or something, so that wasn't good. But we got hugs and then headed back into the line.

I was wearing shorts and got pretty cold, so this rather adorable kid gave us a blanket, then we talked for a while and he was pretty interesting. He sped up the long wait very well with stories of how the back of his van is morally dirty and he's never even done anything in it. Gross!

When it was finally time to go in, we got centre left as usual, stage right, that is. This old lady and some girl with glasses who had never been to a hxc show were right behind me. I was like, um... you realize that the crowd is not going to stay spaced like this, right? We convinced them to leave half way through A Skylit Drive, because really, it was only about to get worse. This is the craziest venue I've ever been to! For their last song, they decided it would be a great idea to announce that there should be a crowd surfing contest. Thanks...

I got pushed a little further away during Alesana... okay, I got pushed way far away, which only got worse during Escape The Fate. This adorable kid next to me was like, "Don't worry, I'll get you to your spot." It was so cute! So yeah, thank god for Craig. He decided to stand in the crowd and everyone moved right so that I was way more center than I had been before. Bomb. Ass.

It took a while for Silverstein to set up, but once they did, it was epic. Josh walked across the stage, and I was like, "JOSH! JOSH!!!!" he noticed me and waved. He's so nice, I love him! Anyway, I saw Paul and Billy backstage as well which was cool. They were sooo good though. I love this band. They played Love With Caution, as ever. Which totally rocks, because if they hadn't, I probably would have cried. During the second to last song, I got my hat and backed the fuck up out of there. I went to the back and crowd surfed my way forward. Not the best idea as it wasn't packed very much toward the back and I got dropped. However, I am amazing and naturally landed on my feet. I was like, "AGAIN, AGAIN!" so they lifted me up and launched me forward again. It was so ace.

After that, I went to the merch tables, stopping on my way to talk to Dennis of Alesana. He's nice. I got 2 t-shirts, but the hoodie I wanted was sold out... seeing as they had only started with 2 in the first place... hahaha. Anyway, I met Billy. Which basically rocked. I was like, "Can I have a hug? It would make my decade... like, the whole thing." I'm such a dork, anyway, he did give me a hug... and it was awkward because I didn't really want to let go. I asked him how many tattoos he had, and although he does know that he has them all over, he doesn't count. Which is a fine answer! Then Paul came by and gave me a high five and I told him I like the way he plays, and he signed my shirt and gave me a hug. After that, Josh came by and he totally remembers me!!! Haha, score. He's soooooooooo nice! But I already knew that. He was like, hmmm... I know you but where from? And I was like, Detroit! And he's like, "oh yeah, we talked FOREVER." And I was like, yup. He has lots of tattoos too. More than me, less than Billy. He has a tofu tattoo as well! It's adorable and a half.

After that, I saw the guy from Detroit who helped me crowd surf the first time and had been standing behind me when I first saw this concert a month ago. He and his buddy had been talking to Craig. I forgot he loves Escape The Fate. Good for him! Anyway, after talking to the guitar player from A Skylit Drive for a while, I left and went home. I think I fell asleep for like.... 2 seconds twice while I was driving, so I turned on a light and talked to some friends on the phone.

I'll be in Toronto for the entire weekend. We'll see how that goes...

Flying Shoes

Last night, I went to sleep at about 5 pm. I woke up at 12 am and could. not. sleep.

I did nothing until about 4 at which point I took a shower and got dressed. At 4:30 I went and picked up Corey from his house. We got gasoline and were on the road by about 5. We got there at 8:30 am and the city was empty. We walked around for a few hours. I was totally buggin' because there were already tour busses at the HOB. Fuck yeah.

At about 10 we went to Quiznos and got foodage... talking of which... my sandwich is still in my car somewhere. Fortunately, it's cold enough out that it should be fine until later when I go and get it. It was a yummy sandwich. Two tour busses pulled up behind the venue at about 10:30 or so, I guess and I was super excited. I found some fun little people to hang with because I was getting kind of tired of Corey. He's soooooo annoying.

Mallory and Melanie were their names, I think. Anyway, they were waiting outside of the HOB eatery because if you buy food, you get in first. So, after a while, we joined them. I had a salad. We had this awesome waiter who was like, here... have some free tickets and use this other table's receipt. I was like, okay then! We waited outside for two hours until it was 2:30. But during that time, Mallory stole Corey's hat, put it on my head, and I went running with it. He caught up and got it, and I was like, "But I still have your hoodie!" So then he was chasing me again and like, behind the HOB there are some restaurants and this creeper was like, peering into the window of one of them, and I screamed because Corey was chasing me and the creeper is like, "WOAH!!!! AAAAHHHH!!" it was the funniest moment of my life. I almost peed.

So anyway, we waited in the cold room forever. The lead singer of Alesana walked by which was fun. I had no idea who he was. Shane walked by. I was too shocked to say anything. Craig was walking by signing autographs and stuff, so we went and gave him Sour Patch Kids candy that M&M had gotten him. He gave the three of us hugs, and then stopped by us in line on his way out to tell us to come to his merch table after the show.

Mallory and I heard music, so we went out into the hall and it was fucking stein!!!! They were playing Broken Stars and sounded AMAZING. I screamed and totally freaked out. Haha, like... I kind of leaned against a wall and slid down it and sat there shaking until some lady was like, oh, here, sit on this wall instead. It was amazing and they sounded SOOOOOO effing good. OMG.

So after that, we went back in and waited until 6. We were like... 4th in and were right against the barrier to the left of centre. Perfect!!! So A Skylit Drive was first and they were awesome. Jag is so pretty. After them, Alesana played. They were all wearing the same thing and they looked HOTTT. I um... totally molested Shawn. He was standing on the barrier, and like... yeah... it was right there. After the show, I told him, and he was like, oh, that's not bad. I once got stuck and this girl was trying to get her hand through the zipper in my pants, but I wear girl pants with small zippers, so it didn't fit. Creepy!!!

Escape The Fate was on next. Max Green is so divine. Right when they started playing though, I looked over Max's shoulder and Billy was watching from back stage. Shane was there too. I flipped out and started crying. It was kind of crazy. Like... I was literally sobbing and jumping up and down. I was like, wow, I'm such a spaz; but they're a bit like the Beatles when I'm in concert mode. Otherwise, I'm cool... haha. But watch out if I'm in a pit of sweaty people against a barrier, I can't make any promises since I just kind of throw myself completely into it.

So it took FOREVER and a day for Silverstein to set up. But when they did, they were AMAZING. Ohmygod. Billy dances so crazy, I love it. I need to take head banging lessons from Josh... I don't know how he manages to do that while playing. I would fall over. But yeah... they were epic. There was this adorable guy behind me and I let him put his arms around me, haha. They played a bunch of awesome old songs, but they also played Broken Stars, of course. It was great. I was sooo super excited because they played Love With Caution, and that's totally my song. Epicness!!! It was so fucking mint. Shane did My Heroine acoustic, and then the rest of the band came back and finished it electric.

Gah... it was just so good. So after, Shane was throwing water bottles into the crowd, and I was screaming his name, and he looked right at me and tossed me the last one, and it bounced off of my fucking hand. I was like DAMMIT! Epic fail for me. I left straight after that and went to hang out by the merch tables. I chilled with Stephanie and Amanda. Stephanie taught me how blackberry messenger works. If only I had someone to talk to... haha.

So Max came in from having a smoke and got ambushed by some girls wanting a pic, so I waited until they were done then walked through the little crowd and was like, Hey Max. He was like, ooh! hey! And grabbed me for a hug. We talked for a bit and he totally remembered me. I think it's because of what I asked by accident last time... hahaha. I met some other little Stein fans which was fun. Jag remembered me... well, everyone remembered me pretty much. Apparently I'm amazing.

I was SOOOO pissed though. Silverstein dipped out the door like... 10 seconds after they got off stage and didn't even go by the merch tables. I found out like... 20 minutes later that they were gone and I was sooo mad. But whatever. We left and I got tired of driving, so when we stopped for gas, I parked at the Maccas across the street and slept for 3 hours. It was so punk rock, haha. After that, I finished driving home, managed not to get lost in Detroit for once, and got home at about 7 in the morning. Fun stuff. Tonight, I'm making vegan cookies for Friday so that Billy can have some too and I'm going to bed early!!!

<3

edit: made cookies. ate them all. were amazing.

It's Okay. Be An Ass.

So... last night, I was going to get those 'Stein lyrics done, only I went to the bank to discover that it was a Sunday night and my ATM card didn't work. Classy.

So I called up my mum, and she told me to deliver her cheque to her an hour away near Ann Arbor. I told her that if I did, she had to pay for my gas to go to the Silverstein show, and she agreed, which rocks. So anyway, I drive out there (while messaging people from my blackberry and driving with my knees), and when I get to my mom's friend's house, no one is home, so I have to wait on the freezing cold porch for like... an hour. Which was funnish.

So dinner there was really good. I showed my mom my new tattoo. Squirrley!!! She was like, "Stop getting tattoos!!!!" and I was like, erm... no? Before bed we watched Detroit Rock City online. I love the internet.

Anyway, I went to bed at 2 and woke up at 7:30, then stayed in bed until 8:00, until it got too annoying. So then I got up and had the rest of the soy milk for breakfast and then we left. My mother hates it when I drive with my knees, and especially when I surf the web while driving... so for sure I was doing it.

When we got back, we went to the bank and cashed her cheque. I took out an extra $100 for a tattoo, then went to pay the GED people for my test in cash due to the fact that the cheque wouldn't clear in enough time since the tests are wednesday and thursday. After that, I went to the tattoo parlor and told John what I wanted. I managed to get $60 off the original price. Go me.



Isn't it preetty with all the icky goo still on it? Yum.

After that, I went to the mall with my mum to look for jobs, which went well. There was a super cute manager at Hot Topic, and they're hiring. Squee.

So after that, we went back to my parents' house and I had dinner there and made my cat's collar before coming back home. I'm pretty tired, so I'll probably go to bed pretty soon and wake up super early.

Slung Ink

So... today was kinda boring. I didn't do much.

I woke up and surfed the web for a while before I decided that I really desperately needed another tattoo.

I drove down to Inkslingers and checked out the $25 book. There wasn't really anything catching my eye, but then, on the last page, there was this amazing little squirrel that I absolutely had to have. (Oh, by the way, I finally have pictures of things because I take them with my blackberry.) So anyway as I was standing at the counter waiting, I overheard a phone conversation saying that if you want a tattoo with words that's just handwriting, it's only about $25. Bitch. Yes. Silverstein lyrics here we come.

So anyway, I got this amazing little green squirrel tattooed on my ankle. It's SOOO cute! I love it with a passion. Anyway, I took a picture when it was first done and bloody. And then another a bit later at home when I had cleaned it up and put some goo on it.



And later...



Pretty, no?

So anyway, in a few days, I'm getting "I'm not going to sink" tattooed somewhere from the Silverstein song Love With Caution.

Funsies.



Oh, and also, I'm getting "I must not tell lies" on the back of my right hand in white ink so that it looks like a scar.

It's Not Real Joe

Yeah, yeah, I've been naughty not updating lately. Sorry.

My Chiodos/Silverstein tickets came in the mail the other day. I haven't been home in forever since first I was visiting mum and packing stuff and such, and now I'm babysitting the cats again. I had to stay up all night last night so that I could actually be awake to sign for a cheque. Then I went to sleep and slept until like four or so.

I called Erin to see if she wanted to go trick or treating with me. We were either going to be two general guys, Trace Cyrus and Mason Musso, or something else undecided. We ended up going as a couple from Kentucky. She was a guy with a mullet and a ridiculous fake moustache and I was rather convincingly pregnant. Which I kind of enjoyed.

We first went around Oak Park, and then to Pleasant Ridge to see Mrs. Smith, which is always fun. She was handing out Jolly Ranchers, which rocked because they're totally vegan. SCORE! Anyway, Mr. Smith wasn't there because FHS had a football game, which was super dumb because it was Halloween.

At this one house, this guy was like, "Well I can tell what you are, haha," and looking at my belly. And I was like, "What?" and made it seem like I actually was pregnant, and he was so embarrassed. It was hilarious. We wondered how many people actually thought we were pregnant.

After PR, we went to 7-11 because I wanted a slurpie. Those cravings, ya know? Haha. Anyway, after that, we went to Royal Oak where they were handing out whole big candy bars, which I really couldn't eat anyway. Apparently Erin's cute older brother Bill was somewhere around there... fun stuff.

After we were done in Royal Oak, we went to see KT and Don and stuff in Ferndale. We stayed there for a while. It was pretty funny, because KT was all poking my belly and then after a minute she was like, "Whoa, wait! Please tell me you're not actually pregnant, because that totally feels real!" Then Don came a bit later and was like, "Wait... you're pregnant?" and we all started laughing and he was so confused and finally his friend was like, "Clearly it's fake because they're all laughing."

A while later, Joe finally came. As soon as he walked over, Don goes, "Hey Joe! Jordan's pregnant!" and he's all like, "Whatt??" and he goes, "It's fake.... right? .... .... right? ... it is fake, right?" it was funnier than sin. It wasn't until we were all leaving that KT was like, "It's not real Joe." It was so mint.

After we left, we went back to Erin's and watched Juno while I sorted out my vegan candy from my non-vegan candy and gave Erin the non-vegan pile. Too bad there weren't any blue slushies to go with my Juno-ness....

Potato Much

This morning I woke up at like... 9 maybe... I don't remember. Anyway, I called up Carol, who was asleep, woke her up, and inquired about whether or not we were going to attend set construction today. She didn't know, and called the theater to find out. No answer. We eventually decided to skip set construction, and I would just come over at 2 to pick her up and go to Lansing for the Forever In A Day show. So, I got some gas, watched some tv, and then went and picked her up. Brian was there which is always fun.

We left Carol's house and drove for about an hour and a half. When we arrived, we were way super early, so we went to an internet cafe down the street and got some super yummy vegan chai teas. After that, we went to the venue and sat in my car listening to Silverstein for a while. Then we went in when everyone was getting there.

First Storms In May played, but we missed most of their set because we made a run for cigarettes during the first song and got back half way through the last song, which was really disappointing because they were really good. We lit up while they were getting unset and Four Word Cause was setting up. They were really good too. After them, Farwell played. They rocked too... but best of all was Forever In A Day.

After they played, we left because we were tired and had headaches. On the way home in the car, we finally came up with a band name, The Vendeada. So check us out at http://www.myspace.com/thevendeada okay? We're looking for more band members though, we need a lead guitarist, a rhythm guitarist, a bassist, and a keyboard player. Thanks!

Anyway, we stopped at Wendy's on the way back and got some french fries, which are awesomely totally vegetarian as they are cooked in peanut oil, and I also got a baked potato.

Bon soir

Today I woke up and decided that I want another tattoo. Yeah... I just got one yesterday, but whatever. I like getting tattoos. I like tattoos in general. I like the way they look. I like the way they feel. I like them. I'm probably going to get one of those sleek new batman symbols on my right inner wrist. Maybe my right arm will end up as a sleeve of myself. I already have XIII on my inner forearm.

I woke up at like... 10 this morning and went to my parents' house to drive my mom to the bank. We came back home, and I made sandwiches and then slept on the couch until 3, when I drove my mom to the airport. She's going to Arizona for a friend's birthday. It's 90 degrees there. I am only jealous of the fact that if I had been able to go, I would have gotten to go riding every day I was there. I miss riding every day.

After the airport, I went back home and figured out what time the Forever In A Day concert was, then called up some people to go with me, but no one could. Thanks guys. So I drove out to Waterford, which took about an hour, and then I totally flipped and didn't want to go by myself, so tomorrow, Carol and I are going to their concert in Lansing.

I went to the mall after that. I bought temporary green hair dye, key caps, the movie 'Hocus Pocus', and the Silverstein album 'When Broken Is Easily Fixed' which is actually very impressive, because I don't buy CD's. I think they are a waste of money. Why buy something that you can get online for free? But I love the CD and I'm terribly happy with it.

When I got back to my parents' house, I realized that I had left the cord to my computer at home, so I went back and got it, as well as my friend's folder that she left at my house. I watched Hocus Pocus while eating a ridiculous amount of ramen... three packages.

I'm going to dye my hair after I finish this... but I'm kinda tired, so maybe I'll just put a movie on and go to sleep.
