July 2001 Dreams

July 10, 2001 – Dave Navarro was living at my house. Not sure why, he wasn’t a relative or anything. We were going to have visitors, friends of my parents, one night, and they were making Dave give up his bed for them. So since he was giving up his bed, he was going to have to share mine with me. Well I was going out that night with Danielle. So I left, and we went someplace, and I kept telling everyone that when I got home I’d be sleeping with Dave Navarro. Then Danielle and I remembered that we had tickets to an Orgy concert. We totally forgot that it was that night. So then we were rushing around to get ready for the show. But we had to go to McDonalds, because I had to work, or pick something up. So I was half dressed for the concert, in my vinyl pants, no shoes, and my hair wasn’t done. I was eating, and I was taking a long time, so Danielle and her brother showed up to get me (even tho I went to McDs with Danielle). They had her mom’s car, but it was red not black, and I had to drive. Then I realized I had no shoes, so I had to go back to my house. Now it’s 7 pm and doors were at 7 so I realized we were going to be late and we weren’t going to be up front. I also kept saying I wasn’t ready yet, that I needed to do my hair and makeup for the show.

possible explanation: was scanning Dave Navarro pics before bed, was talking alot about him, and today I got my street team stuff FINALLY (complete with snap bracelets, the ultimate promo item). orgy, not sure. orgy is always present in my life, but no active thinking about them lately. and danielle and I would NEVER forget about an orgy show.

Possible interpretation: that i’m going to be sleeping with Dave Navarro sometime soon, haha yeah right.

July 25, 2001 – Me, Adrienne, Danielle and my friend on the net Patrick had gotten a book that told us how to see spirits. I guess we had all read it and wanted to try it out to see if we could find any spirits in my house. So we went in the basement and I guess did a seance to conjure up spirits. The book said that the spirits would appear as shadows dancing around the top of the walls. So we’re in the basement in a circle holding hands, doing this seance thing, looking for spirits but we didn’t see any. There were no shadows appearing around the room, so we were disappointed. So we figured there were no spirits in my basement, or we were unable to conjure them up. They wanted to try it again but in my bedroom. I was a little iffy about it because if we did it, I didn’t want to be stuck with spirits haunting my room. But we did it anyway. We were sitting in my room and we did the seance, and were looking for the signs of spirits that it said in the book. Well one must have been there, because suddenly something invisible started pulling my hair. The three of them got scared and were staring at me, and I was scared to death, because some invisible force had my hair in its grasp and it was pulling it and pulling my head to the side. Well then I guess it was decided that I was possessed by an evil spirit, or the spirit that was pulling my hair went in me or something. Either way we knew that what was happening was a sign of evil spirits from the book. So then they were super frightened of me, and I was totally evil cuz of the spirit in me. Well I could jump really high, and I was jumping up and down in my room, but kind of slowly like the picture of astronauts jumping on the moon. I’d jump up to the ceiling and then the floor. Well Adrienne started asking me/evil spirit questions, and trying to figure out if I was really evil or not. Apparently I was, because I had done something to a bird, hit it with the car or something, and Adrienne was like, we’ll that explains the bird thing. Then there were more things I had done that they decided were explained by the fact that I was evil.

Possible explanation: I have no clue. I did almost hit a bird with the car on Sunday.

Possible interpretation: dunno. but at work today I got an order that came to $6.66…it was the 3rd one this week (not all my orders, 2 were Pam’s orders)

July 29, 2001 – I was at a U2 concert and it was in like, a big gym. There was the floor, and then bleacher seats. Me and my friends had tickets, and we were in the bleachers. There were 2 stages, one at each end of the gym floor. So we were sitting there, then I was like, dude I’m gonna go on the floor. So I left them and went onto the floor which looked really packed, but I got up to the front and there was lots of room at the barrier. So I was like, ok then I’m standing at the barrier for U2. So they played a few songs, and then took an intermission. So I left barrier, and went back to my friends and told them I had been up front. I was going to go get something to eat and hoped that my spot was still there after I got back. So I went back up front and got my space, but U2 came out on the other stage to do the rest of the show. So I was like, wtf, i’m in the back now. But the entire time I was walking around I knew that they were going to play on the other stage. So I started walking to the other stage, and it looked even more packed then it did before but when I got up there, there was 10 feet of room between the barrier and where everyone was standing. So I’m like ok then, screw you guys i’m standing at the barrier. So I went up there and stood in front of Bono. Then there was this white trash mullet guy with his wife/girlfriend there and they started talking to Bono. Bono, between singing, was talking to them. Then Bono was like, does anyone have a camera? And I was like, yeah I do, cuz I had a disposable one in my purse. So Bono took my camera and took a picture of white trash guy and the girl.

possible explanation: I had “Gone” by U2 in my head all night.

possible interpretation: i love bono

July something, 2001 – I was at a concert and I guess it was supposed to be Depeche Mode. Well they couldn’t go on or something, so my manager Mark from work was going to fill in for them, like he was an understudy. So a bunch of us from work were there in the bleachers, it was in a gym again, and Mark was doing a good job. He sounded good, and we were happy about that. But he couldn’t dance at all. He was trying to dance and he just looked stupid trying to white boy ghetto dance. So we were sorta laffing at him about that. Then he started “You Don’t Know What It’s Like” by Econoline Crush and everyone knew that song, so people started crowd surfing. But we were on bleachers so you couldn’t really crowd surf to that. But this one girl was being hoisted up by her waist and passed to the person behind them, then picked up again and passed back.

possible explanation: had been downloading Depeche Mode in ottawa…dunno about Mark.

possible interpretation: dunno

July 30, 2001 – me and my friend Adrienne were seat fillers at the Grammy’s. We were sitting in our limo after the show, and we were talking about how alot of people share limos, so we decided we were going to try to get someone to share our limo with us. So we had the door open and were looking for people to ask, and we saw Seal. So we’re like Hey Seal why don’t you come share our limo and he was like ok. He was holding the grammy he had one a few years ago (dunno why he was carrying it around) for “kiss from a rose”. I remember that when he won it he beat out Michael Jackson’s “You Are Not Alone”. So i was like, hey u beat MJ for that grammy. He was like yeah but it was a mistake, because see it says YANA on it, not Kiss from a Rose. I was like, hm thats weird. So anyway, we decide to go visit Snad, who had bought Neverland. So we get there (there was no traveling involved, we just appeared there) and we were walking through a forest to get to the house, like in Blair Witch Project. We were lost, and then Adrienne tripped and fell. She hit her shin on a branch, and was paralyzed. She
couldnt move her legs so she couldnt walk. So Seal was going to stay with her, and I was going to get to the house to call 911. So I get to the house and Snad answers the door, and i’m like my friend fell and is paralized so u need to call 911, and shes like I know she told me I already called. So apparantly Adrienne wasn’t paralized cuz she had
already been there to call 911. So I go inside, and Snad has a sister who looks just like her. And then her mom comes in the room and looks just like Snad too. They were remodling the house, and it was all torn apart. It looked like it had just been built. I was like, why is Snad remolding MJ’s house, I figured she’d leave it EXACTLY the way it was. So Snad took me around the house and we went in the kitchen. It was really really tiny, and everything was stainless steel and shiny. I was like, I can’t believe MJ had this small of a kitchen. And then I remembered that
it was Paul McCartney’s house, and I was like, weird that Paul had such a small kitchen too. Because it was like, closet sized. So then somehow I was holding Seal’s grammy that said YANA and i was like, dude Snad’s gonna want this, cuz it’s really MJ’s grammy even tho Seal won it accidentally. But Snad never saw it, or I hid it or something. But then it like shrank, and was really tiny, and was just like a souvenier from the grammys. So then the maintenence man from my McDs was there and was helping to remodel the house, so I asked him if I could see MJ’s bowling alley in his basement. So he took me in the basement, and it was really small too, and it was just 1 lane, but it had all kinds of crap all over it, because it was being used as storage for Snad’s family until the redid the rest of the house.

possible explanation: um…no idea where Seal came from.

possible interpretation: dunno

well its friday. yay. still dont know what i’m doing this weekend, gotta talk to adr and danielle…maybe go see eric or something.

finally washed the car. my windshield is one giant streak mark… i had to wash it cuz it was streaky and it’s worse now. i can’t get it unstreaky, so i’ll have mom do it or something. cant get the bugs off the front of the car either…grrr

got out of work early today, 12:45 instead of 2, so that gave me time to wash car, and stuff. now its nap time, but i’m talking to christa’s boyfriend on aol.

i went out with Ian last night. walked to his house and he met me half way, it was just like 2 years ago. then we walked to taco bell cuz he wanted food, mcd’s to get free ice cream and back to my house. sat on the porch for a while. it was cool. i hadn’t seen him in over a year. talked about how rockin mcds was when we were working there, with julie tom and nate…old school morning mclineup. good times good times

ive been thinking about tim alot lately too. i fucking wish he’d just come into mcds ONCE this summer, just so i can see him. arg. it’s been too long since i knew what he was doing…*sob* jk but still…id like to see him. it would totally make the rest of my summer. i wonder if he’s still got that bitchass girlfriend…he did last summer, so that would have been like 4 years minus a few months when i was friends with him that they’ve been together….they have matching tattoos BARF.

also trying to download Depeche Mode exciter tour in Ottawa.. it’s the same setlist as toronto but I can’t find the encore….I need 4 songs or something…i need “personal jesus”, “home”, “black celebration” and “never let me down again”… so help me and get me those mp3s 🙂

work was 90 degrees today. and they said the AC was fixed….besides the oppresive heat, it was a good day for once. i got along with stacy all day, and my upbeat personality (hah right) kept her from getting extremely pissed off for once. sherry called in sick, claims she has a dr’s note, if she doesn’t she’ll be fired so let’s hope she doesn’t. so without her there, and with stacy in a good mood things went good. it was just way too hot. the AC better be fixed tomorrow.

i finally got a response regarding some q’s about the townhouses in geneseo. we are not going to have a private parking lot… WONDERFUL! :P….and the rooms we’re being forced to live in due to the fact that the assholes arent going to finish building them ontime are 10×14…there is NO way those are double rooms. they better not be. still so very pissed about that.

 

and joe is the coolest guy I know… ARE U HAPPY NOW!

i dont know if i could be any more pissed off right now. yah i dont have a home in a month. back at school we’re supposed to be moving into the new townhouse complex. ok so we get email today telling us that the 4 person town houses will be finished on time, but the 5 person ones wont… GREAT! THANK YOU GENESEO U FUCKED US OVER AGAIN. So we’re in “alternative housing” in blake hall, which is supposed to be closed this year. If i remember correctly, it’s corridor style, so i’m going to have a nice fun time there until they’re finished. SUPPOSEDLY the 5 room houses will open 1 at a time, the first one holding 30 people a week later, and the next a while after that etc. When we left Geneseo in May they were 2 weeks ahead of schedule, yeah what happened to that?

if it seems like i’m surprised, i’m totally not. I was expecting this because everytime I look at the webcam of the townhouse construction there has been virtually no progress. the houses have been half bricked for 2 months now. you never see any people doing any work….and that’s just how geneseo is. Instead of starting on the town houses last summer, when no one is on campus except orientation groups, no they dont even start to dig and move dirt in the area until october. Yeah, brilliant. Great planning. Lets not start them until winter, so they can get frozen and screwed up because you’re not supposed to do cement stuff in the winter cuz it cracks….but go ahead, wait until winter to start actually building anything. Take a month and a half to push dirt around. They claimed as long as there was no bad snow storm the houses would be done on time, and as far as I remember, it didn’t snow much at all….I should know, I was there all winter. FUCKING IDIOTS I HATE YOU GENESEO. I DONT WANT TO FUCKING LIVE IN BLAKE HALL FOR AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME. I HATE YOU.

now i was going to post this all nice and happy entry because i had an excellent weekend, but then i had to go and find this shit out….i hate geneseo to begin with. this next year was supposed to make up for 3 shitty years, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen any time soon.

but ok i guess i’m gonna talk about this weekend. i’m just so pissed…

ok so friday, it was too hot so after dinner i went to the mall with adrienne. we randomly went into Claires and they were having a big sale. It was 10 things for 5$…all the things eligible were crap of course LOL. But we managed to find 10 things. I got 2 key chains, a bracelet, these window shades for the back seat windows, with lemons on them and they say “fresh” lol, and this lame necklace that says “glam rock” on it, that is now on the new purse I bought there too, cuz it was 5$. hah…

saturday was amanda’s grad party. It was way more fun that it probably should have been LOL that’s not an insult. We went over there around 4:30, hung out with eric and jake all day, and amanda. Had a few beers, played football, and went to the park with their 2 little cousins. haha it was fun. Well Eric was like, what are u guys doing tomorrow (sunday) and we’re like nothing. K-rockathon was sunday in syracuse and Eric and Mary had their tickets, but Joe was on the Econoline Crush guestlist as +3 and none of his friends could go. So we’re like hell yeah we’ll go! haha. So we headed up to Rochester that night after Mary and Karl got back from the Staind show in buffalo.

sunday, joe came up to Rochester and we left for Vernon Downs. things were fine until we got 3 miles from the place, then it was not moving traffic. it wasn’t even crawling traffic, it was “we’re going to sit in this same spot for 15-20 minutes”. We went a mile in an hour and a half. There must have been an accident or something because ambulances and stuff went by a few times, but we never saw anything. Since an hr and a half went by we were getting scared we were going to miss EC so Joe called Dan from the car to find out what time they were on at, and that left us with an hr and a half to get to the place. So we get moving and are 2 miles away then, and then we just parked at some hotel that was 3$ and a 20 min walk to the place (45 min drive in the traffic). It ended up being a real good idea, shorter walk than that.
Get to the racetrack and find where we get our guestlist stuff. We were expecting regular tickets to get in, turned out Joe had gotten guest/photo cloth passes. We’re like dude this rocks LOL. So we went in, and stuff. Lost Eric and Mary in the crowd going up to the front to see Boy Hits Car. We didn’t wanna be up front for them (we being me Joe and Adrienne) so we didnt try to find them. Then turns out EC was on next, and not Boy Hits Car cuz everything got turned around. So Joe me and Adrienne went to walk around, and decided to try out our passes. I asked some security guard where we could go, and he was like, go over there. So we went to the VIP entrance, and went backstage where all the busses and crap was. We spent the rest of the afternoon back there. Didn’t get to actually see EC, cuz the guards wouldnt let us in front of the stage with our passes, so we listened from behind, leaning against Crazy Town’s bus LOL. That’s all I’m going to talk about that. It was mega rad. I felt all important LOL. I got to see the inside of a tour bus FINALLY for like 2 minutes lol. when i make my first million I’m buying myself a tour bus and i’m gonna hire a driver to take me around the country for a few months LOL, its way better than a motor home.

So we left around 5ish i guess, had to walk back to the car and stuff. Got home around 930. Eric and Mary stayed there to see Staind and whoever else. While we were there we got to hear boy hits car and drowning pool, and I think Cold.

*in a james hetfield voice*
“no AC at work – baaaaaad!”
“cold shower – goooood!”

“wacky stripped sunburn – baaaaad!”
“sunblock – gooooood!”

my mom seems to think i was beaten up or raped yesterday….my lip is weird, i bit it, she’s like WHAT HAPPENED TO UR LIP i’m like nothing…and i have this weird sunburn around my neck, where i missed putting on sunscreen. So it’s this circular burn like a necklace where the neckline of my shirt was. She’s like IT LOOKS LIKE U GOT CHOKED!…wtf…it’s SOO a sunburn. She’s like, it looks like strangle markes…hahah

i’m bored cuz its too hot to move so i’m just sitting here. ok well there is this coca-cola commercial…i’m sure you’ve seen it. it’s like 5 teenagers in a subway, and one of them is “narrating” in his head about being crammed in cars together after concerts and stuff…it’s like, a goodbye to teenage ignorance and bliss kinda thing. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT?! lol… well that commercial kinda makes me sad. ok it doesn’t make me sad cuz i’m totally not an emotional person… but it’s like…nostalgia… cuz i’m so old u know. grrr i cant explain it. it totally reminds me of my friends (more recently, past few years, than in high school…screw high school). i’m gonna look at some old video tape years from now and have this commercial on it and be like omg…then it’ll be nostalgia. i tried to find the commercial on an mpeg but no luck. they have every other friggen beer commercial etc but not this one. i need to have it. i love it. it doesnt make me want to drink brown pop, but whatever…

Econoline Crush @ K-rockathon

\ by

econoline crush – k-rockathon – vernon, ny – july 22, 2001

i’m not going to say much about this show.

first: big thank you to Dan from EC and the rest of the band

second: big thank you to Joe – the coolest guy on the planet, and no longer “some kid joe” haha since he didn’t like that title in my previous write ups of EC shows.

third: big thank you to Eric

if it wasn’t for eric we wouldn’t have gone to the show, because he wouldn’t have mentioned that Joe had 3 extra guest passes. the trip to k-rockathon was a spur of the moment thing. Saturday Eric was like, wut u doing tomorrow, nothing, Joe has extra passes, I’m so there! Eric and mary already had tickets, so me and adrienne took 2 of joe’s guest passes.

it took an extra long time to get to Vernon, cuz of the non moving traffic in mile 3 from the racetrack. we didn’t move for 20 minutes at a time. Joe called dan to make sure we weren’t going to miss EC’s set, since that’s the only reason why me Joe and Adrienne were there. We ended up getting there just in time, cuz they switched bands around. so, we get our guest list stuff, and figuring the passes were going to be tickets to get in, we were shocked to find guest/photo access cloth passes. boy hits car was supposed to be on, we lost Eric and Mary in the crowd and since we didnt want to be up front for them we went to walk around, decided to see where we could go with the passes, and ended up in the back stage area where all the busses for all the bands were parked.

one thing *AND IM NOT COMPLAINING* is that it was kinda weird to be backstage at a festival where i couldn’t give a rats ass about any of the other bands. there were tons of band people walking around, and i almost never recognized any of them. We saw drummer from crazy town, various members of their crew, various members of drowning pool as Joe told me, boy hits car and cold…i recognized the singer from Cold…that was it…i cant even imagine what it would be like, for me, to have a pass like that at a festival where i liked the other bands playing LOL. trevor mentioned playing K-rock a few years ago and Orgy was there too, and I’m like omg i’d die…hah…i wouldn’t know where to go and who to talk to. Except that Orgy ppl are bitches sometimes so haha….

ended up not actually seeing EC’s set, because guards said we didn’t have the right kind of pass to be standing in front of the stage, so we listened from behind, leaning against crazy town’s bus.

EC setlist:
sparkle and shine
surefire
you don’t know what it’s like
trash
my salvation
wicked/head like a hole

my salvation sounded different. they might have added some kind of sample, or it could have just been that were were listening from behind. can’t tell. during EC’s set a group of drunk boys came up to us and asked me if could let them on to the bus (crazy town’s bus) and I’m like no sorry. And he’s like is anyone letting anyone on, and I’m like no. And he’s like, that sucks, and I’m like yeah I’m sorry, and he’s like do you know them. And i start laffing and I’m like NO! lol…he thought i was like, someone important or something that i could let them on a tour bus. It was funny. then one of the drunk guys shook our hands.

i think that’s where I’m going to stop talking. I feel kind of weird writing down every minute of what happened during the afternoon. I’m not sure why. if u really want to know, contact me, i can tell u because I’ve written it down for my personal use. I just don’t think it’s right for me to publish everything that happened on my site. It’s nothing bad or incriminating, no “lets get high and have an orgy” or anything like that at all. The guys in EC are really great, and super nice. It was a totally awesome afternoon. i feel bad that Eric and Mary didn’t get to come with us. Joe got them a poster signed by the band.

few comments, and i hope I’m not overstepping my personally set boundaries, but we’ll see:

1. i thought it was really amusing to hear most of the guys talk about how everyone at the festival sounded the same, and that how most of the new bands out now sound the same, and how much they hate it LOL

2. trevor seems to be a big fan of STP. trevor likes Dave Navarro’s new album, Dan doesn’t hah. Dan liked my purse.

3. i asked mark if it was hard to get his pants off, realized that he could take that the wrong way, and justified my question by saying how i have a pair of pants like that (some sort of leather product) and after just being in the audience i can’t get them off. he said yeah, the pants weren’t gonna come off too easily.

why do i keep capitalizing Dan’s name but no one elses…..?

4. talking to trevor about music videos, i said something about how i just download them. then i was like “oops i didn’t say that” and trevor said he didnt care about the whole napster downloading mp3s thing….take from that what you will but don’t quote me. lol

Papa Roach had 3, possibly 4 tour busses. We didn’t see Staind’s bus. Crazy Town had their bus, and a crew bus…. while we were there we got to hear boy hits car, drowning pool, and i think Cold.

ok i think I’m done, so once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH to the guys from EC and everyone else who helped make my day so incredible.

no pictures…i didn’t feel right about it. There is one coming of me and Joe by the bus, mark might be in it cuz he was coming off the bus, gotta finish the roll, have 23 pictures left lol. maybe someone on the EC board took some i can steal, and maybe i’ll scan my pass….

ok here are a few things from trevor hurst’s (econonline crush) online tour diary….

Orlando, FLA – I think that this is the home of boy bands. It is isn’t it? I suppose I should know this, being a card carrying member of the music industry. But I’m not sure, although O-town, that awful tv band might have taken it’s name from the city. Sorry, I was drifting there for a second!
We spent the 4th in Orlando hanging out watching fireworks and waiting to play. The gig was at the House of Blues in Disney City. Do I even need to go into the Disney/rock show rant? Anyway the club was cool, and once inside, you could shut out the mass commercialization of parental guilt and cartoon characters.

St. Petersburg, FLA – I know I’ve got to be quicker getting these things out because there has been some discussion about it on our website. It’s not that I’m not trying. I’m just lazy!!
St. Peterburg was insane because the venue was outdoors. Now in any other climate that might be alright but Florida in July is hot. I’m not talking shorts and t-shirt hot. I’m talking where’s my camel I’m heading for the oasis hot!! Needless to say the show was a puddle. We rocked though. I think mainly due to the fact the crowd was so into it. There was this guy with the best mullet I have seen in years, losing it in he mosh pit. I swear it felt like I was at a Judas Priest concert watching that guy jumping around.

does anyone find those 2 entries as hilarious as i do… i loved the mullet comment.

well carolyn went home today. we had a fun weekend. picked her up saturday night, came back here, hung out for a while with adr and danielle, then went to dennys (surprise). sunday was darien lake and aerosmith. ok i don’t think i would ever pay full price to go to darien lake ever. we paid 12$ with our concert tickets to get into the park for the day. it’s so not worth the 30$ they charge. We went on 6 rides…superman coaster, boomerang coaster, viper coaster twice, mind eraser coaster, and the log ride. it’s not that the lines were all that long, because they went a lot faster than i remember them going in the past, but we were there for 6 hours and went on 6 rides. there was also nothing else i’d want to go on besides the coasters.

aerosmith rocked except for the mullet sporting fire starters….fire is not cool. read the aerosmith review to hear more. were stuck in the parking lot after the show for an hour, like after stp last summer, blah. i just can’t understand that. they need traffic lights in the parking lot.

monday i was supposed to work, went in, punched in and sat in the office for 7 minutes then went home. went back to sleep for a while, before going shopping. then canal fest!! this cANAL fest was probably the best one in my entire life. It was hysterically funny. We went mullet spotting. Last year I said I was going to take pictures of mullets but chickened out. not this year. Carolyn, mainly, and I came up with a story to get pictures with mullets. i had all this dave navarro street team stuff, so we took the cds with us, and she went up to mullets, gave them this story about how we work for dave navarro.net and we’re promoting his cd by giving away free samplers. they could have the cd if they would take a picture with us so we could prove we were advertising and could get free concert tickets. 2 people turned us down, one kid with a mohawk, and the 2 hashbrown guy from work. But it was hysterical. We gave away 6 cds, 1 to a carny freak, and 1 to a normal person. the rest were mullet sporting people. the mullets will do anything for free shit. the 2 mullets we followed around for a while because we thought they’d be scary turned out to be the nicest ones. the first mullet was like, is this picture going to be on the internet? haha nooooo….then his mullet friend was like, well I want one. they’re girlfriends probably wondered why we didn’t want pictures of them LOL.

so after the mullets, we went to sit on the bridge and mullet watch for potential targets. however we came up with a new game…gum watching. we spit our gum out on the bridge and watched people step on it. HAHA…yeah we are so obnoxious and immature, but it was hilarious. u don’t even know. it was so great. we went through 3 pieces, 2 walked away with people 1 got smooshed down and stuck to the pavement. then we got kicked off the bridge… NOT CUZ OF THE GUM THING…cuz the cops came and kicked everyone off the bridge…no more hanging out on bridge cuz it causes trouble or some crap. then went to get amanda, and went to dennys.

hah we rock.

yesterday i got my dave navarro street team stuff….finally…only 2 months after i signed up. whatever. i figured i’d get the usual promo cds, stickers….but this time i got the ultimate promo item ever….snap bracelets! hahah they sent a bunch of cds, stickers, these little ad things, a bunch of buttons, and the snap bracelets. and it’s super rad cuz i’ve been wanting a snap bracelet for a while… i can’t find any of the million i had the FIRST time they were all the rage, and i wasn’t about to buy one cuz they’re all stupid animal fur and shit… i just want plain black. these are flourescent green with black writing on them, but i can cover one with black electrical tape or something (credit that idea to carolyn). anyway, so i gotta go distribute shit this weekend maybe. i have the feeling that i’m supposed to be doing something this weekend but i have no idea what it is, besides aerosmith on sunday. i still have my choke street team stuff too…since all they gave me were postcards, there are only so many places i can put all of the same item…i was supposed to get stickers with that too, but nooo they sent me 3 packages of postcards instead.. and some posters. got 1 package of postcards left, and some posters.

ok back from another lovely trip to see the grandparents and family. all my family is in michigan, and since we don’t go for easter anymore we have to go in the summer. and this time we had to go to show my grandparents my car, since they bought half of it.

the trip was the same as always. my grandparents are getting worse, they’re old and sick sorta. not mentally old but physically. whatever. my grandpa never shuts up, grandma tells me the same 3 stories. same as always. it’s always right before we leave, we’re sitting there because we can’t do anything else, and she’ll tell me these stories.
1. we were visiting when i was a baby, mom had me in a bouncing chair thing, and i bounced right out of it and landed on my head….spectacular. mom said it never happened, that it must have been someone else’s kid who was visiting.
2. how i was left with them as a baby and cried for my mom the whole time, so my grandma walked me back and forth around the living room, but made sure i couldn’t see her face cuz if i did i’d see how ugly it was and see that it wasn’t my mom and cry even more.
3. she sings me the songs she made up about me when i was a baby. i love sara yes i do if you knew her you would too….etc.

this time she told me stories about her wedding dress, and how she should have stayed a “career girl” (she says this every time, the dress thing was new tho) except i couldn’t hear her because my grandpa was going on and on about his big band music and how it’s real music, and music now u can’t even understand what they’re saying. then he asks me if i can understand what they’re saying in the music i listen to, and i proudly say yes, because I do. he does this every time. they are tape recorders. they died years ago, and now its just a shell of skin and bone with a tape recorder inside. it must be. they didn’t bring out the old pictures this time tho, good thing, because we’ve seen them every visit for the past 5 years.

i did however, get a wicked shirt from walmart when my mom and i escaped for a few minutes. it says “i love rockstars” on it in rhinestones lol. it’s so me. also had the strongest mixed drink in my life at my aunt’s house. they are somewhat alcoholics, they made me a white russian. it must have had 2 shots each of vodka and kaluha and a drop of milk. i was drunker than i’ve been since thanksgiving (not drunk, but buzzed, u know…) and off of 1 drink. it was insane. also managed to actually listen to some of my cds on the car radio on the way home. dad didnt change them. first was APC, then the tea party, then inxs, which he actually turned up, he liked the sax, and then u2.

so home now. was waiting on word from heather about if i was gonna be driving up to toronto on tuesday. she was gonna try to get us passes for the much music stone temple pilots concert thing tues night. had to wait in line at much music to get passes. etc etc she followed the rules, 1 pass per person, then saw people had more than 1 so she could have gotten one for me afterall, but then they gave her a hard time when she wanted one for me. so as of now i dont have a pass. she’s trying to get the city tv phone # to call and bitch and get another pass, but we’ll see. if not, no big deal, if so, cool, i’ll have to drive up there and get to see STP again….

proof people in the NRA are extremely intelligent

GUNS IN THE HOME FOUND TO INCREASE RISK OF DEATH.

People who keep guns at home nearly triple their chances of being murdered, usually by friends or relatives, but fail to protect themselves from intruders…
However, Paul Blackman, research coordinator at the National Rifle Association, criticized the study… “These people were highly susceptible to homicide,” he said. “We know that because they were killed.” – Associated Press
