There was a time when I thought you were a friend to me

News Flash!!

I've decided to go back to my old journal ONESILVERBULLET.

I'm tired of this name. My other one's way cooler anyways.

Check your friends list and add me back if you weren't already on mine. ♥

My lame attempt to update

Mon, 11 Oct 2004 06:50:55 GMT

We'll start with the string of My Chem shows.

San Diego was fun. Almost drove to TJ. Missed My Chem and Letter Kills but found Jerry and hung out in the production office. Watched SOTY from up above. I feel sorry for every kid that was down in the crowd. They looked funny. Went to Denny's and talked. Take notes kids: don't try to order California rolls in Japan because everyone will think you're dumb. "Where's my burrito?"

The Loft show. Sold out like whoa. Chrissy broke her foot just hours before the show. Saw all the girls from down south (Natalie, Shelly and Kaci). Katie, Sar and Lloby were there too. Talked to Rick and Kim. That was nice, hadn't seen them in a long ass time. Matt: "Did you ladies bring your dancing shoes?" Gerard's car crash makeup. Insane crowd. Stood in the back. After the show talked to Ray about what we mentioned in Jersey. Steph's stealthy hand-off. Got Slurpees. Went back to the "secret place" with Ray and Eric. Behind a bus is not so secret when there are cops circling the building. SO close. Promised to get them more by the Wiltern show. Jerry and Damien being gangstas.

Late night "goodness" run with the Chad and his hardcore bro. "Dude, I love this breakdown..." I tried so hard not to laugh. Good times.

TWINS BIRTHDAY!! Went to eat and Steph attempted to eat an octopus (I'll post pictures later). Got picked up by Headuh and headed to LA. Got to sit and stand in the handicap section since Chrissy was injured. It ruled. We rocked out like whoa. Went outside for Lost Prophets and ran into Ray. Proceeded to the bus where we "dry cleaned" Bob's clothes. They now smell better than any dry cleaning service could do. Tons of porn. We almost burned the bus down, for reals. The trash was smoking. Whoops. Talked about Mikey and Senses Fail. Met Bob who is totally cool (and now has really really ridiculously good smelling clothes). Laughed and pondered the meaning of the words "smear" and "schmear" while Ray talked to his manager for like an hour. So funny for me. Isn't it amazing how similar the Funeral March and the Star Wars theme song are? Try humming them. Hard, huh? Chrissy stuck her arm out the window and pretended to be Britney Spears. Went to Denny's and as we're leaving the bathroom these girls go "Do you know if that's the lead singer from My Chemical Romance eating over there?" We investigated and yes it was Gerard, Bob and two other dudes. Weird looks. Scary for me. Went back to the bus and gave Jerry his shirt and said bye to Ray. I miss that group. As weird as it is, it somehow works. Jersey in January is where it will be. Ray promised to take us to the Land of Make Believe (even though it's gay and sucks) and Midgetville (ask Chrissy how he knows where it is).

The next couple days were kind of a blur. Lots of Katie and Sar time at the HUB. Hung out with the twins nephew Cameron. Went on a walk with Brandon to the CSUCI morgue and went coyote hunting. Went shopping at Halloween stores. Cemetery background, dripping blood and the D&D cd... I mean... what? Lots of band practices. Puking in the parking lot.

Went to moms house to watch the kids for a day. On the way up stopped in SB and had dinner with Nicki and saw her new puppy. Sooooo cute for me. Still in Solvang and it's really boring for me. But I heart my Jake so it's all good. Watches a few movies. Saved was funny.

Tomorrow the sis and I are going to SB because she wants to go shopping. Nicki and Twins are coming too. Paaaaaarty.

HEAD AUTOMATICA, ATREYU AND THE USED ON WEDNESDAY. Ventura Theater. Mike Wood, I expect to see you and Danny there okay? If not I might have to have an emo moment when Atreyu plays and that would be embarassing.

♥

I suck at updating.

Hawaii was fun but kinda boring.

Lasertag rules.

Brandon + alcohol + sharp corner = cut to forehead (pictures coming soon).

MCR and Letter Kills soon.

Yay.

Sat, 04 Sep 2004 04:32:42 GMT

Thank jesus for Chrissy. I probably never would have finished recapping the Jersey trip if she hadn't done it. Therefore I'm stealing her entry. I'll make my own comments here and there in bold. Copy and paste rules.

The rest is a bit of a blur, but I recall waking up to ed's phonecall and he was downstairs!!! He is just precious though. Said our byes to him and nate. Joe called to say bye and so we went to his house for his goodbye. Tried to break into an abandoned house but no use. Went back to nates for another goodbye and free shirts cds and capri sun, it saved us. Denis was at warped tour, ass.

At at our togos one last time.

Some old guy thought I was a hooker or something cause he kept talking to me asking how old I was and saying "when can I see you again". I kept replying never cause ew.

Drove around new jersey one last time. It was too sad. Saw a cool church

Off the freeway, er interstate? We saw this overhang.. Laura said " why is there a weird spider on the right?" In my defense I said that before we were this close to it. From far away it TOTALLY looks like a spider!

haha.. it is the state of new jersey in a 4 leaf clover. It's okay lolo I see the spider too..

and found one last cemetery. At this one Laura and steph found one of those crosses they put on the graves in the trash and a neon sign that said "funeral" we took both [one man's trash another's treasure].

Across the street...

Back on the road.

Pennsylvania AGAIN..

Stopped at a cracker barrel finally just because we had to know what they were! We played a set of giant checkers pieces. Bought some candy and mad libs [a road trip must-have] They were so hilarious.

The heavens were opening up.. so beautiful. Chrissy, you've been listening to too much jesus music.

If you saw this sign you would have done what we did too...

So we pull off the interstate only to drive 15 minutes out of the way and find out "the land of make believe" is some lame water park for young children that we probably wouldn't even fit in the tubes. Whatever. Stupid sign.

Just plain weird...

A truck we drove past...

Ate at gio's bbq. There was a semi cute boy no wait he wasn't cute there are NO cute boys that work or live or go near the interstate.

We stopped at Dubois to sleep at a best western. I climbed a wall of joy cause we were pooped.

Woke up early in the am to head out. Next stop, Illinois

for the movielife fans, we drove the 94 west... eat your hearts out.

Can we stop? Please?

Nope, more driving..

Ate and found another cemetery.

Back on the road.

Stopped in des moines to sleep. Ate cup o noodles and watched the food network.

Left yet again for Nebraska.

Which sucked and consisted of rain and lightning. But we passed omaha where conor lives haha. I played a bright eyes song in honor and steph and Laura puked during the 6 and 1/2 minute song "Waste of paint" but I loved every second of their torture. That was pure torture.

Another minor pit stop.

The boring rolling hills...

Next stop Wyoming.

We stopped for gas in the scariest hick town. It took 10 minutes to find a gas pump which looked like it had been the same one for 50 years.
At least there was a cooooool statue.

A huge Mary.

My cute pjs haha.

It said you could sacrifice things, so we did...

me.

Wyoming was big

We missed nate

If you look closely it's a real cowboy with tighter jeans than a scene boy in sevens!

Alright you got me guys... Payback for writing on my toe.

Steph wasn't liking those too much..

Dang you for hiding. No embarassing picture. You're no match for my lightning speed reflexes.

More lame driving pictures :]

We stopped in the town matthew sheapard was from. The aura and vibe was disturbing. Just being there I wanted to cry and run for my life. What a horrible city. Word. Creepy vibes like no other.

Drove past the rockies in the dark and on our way to Laura's final resting place.

Enter Utah.

Over 2 and a half weeks and Six thousand miles later.

Since we arrived in utah at like 4-6 am we slept. The next day was fun filled. Sonic for lunch. Saw coheed and kill radio posters on the side of the road by lolo's. Explored her new casa and area.

Saw the SLC capitol.

Passed the temple where we are gonna blow a trumpet and climb to the top of the statue. haha. The mormons will shit themselves.

Went to the mall and bought a hot shirt. I [bone] texas. Yes. Asked the worker of zumiez for the nearest cemetery.

NOOO. Oh well at least both mine and lauras died together? In different states...

Beautiful scenery.

The name says it all.

Very creepy, no?

Love is dead. How emo ♥

Statues!

Ironic, a dead squirrel in a cemetery.

yes.

Sunshine and rainbows.

Apparently my grandma is buried in that cemetery. Next time you girls come back we need to go hunt for her.

Then we went to burlington, completely tired. Bought night gowns. We look like princesses, minus Steph. She got a leopard set making her look like hugh heffner. :]

I passed out and the girls organized pictures and hung out. Woke up the next morning to pack and say our goodbyes. Went to sonic and the airport. Dad drove us and dropped us at the curb side. Weird, I am getting bit teary typing this. As we grabbed out luggage out of the back Steph me and Laura kinda just stood there. For a long time. We just hugged. And said bye. And cried. And laughed for being so stupid and crying. But I couldn't help it the tears wouldn't stop. So we walked into the automatic doors and it felt like a scene from a movie. I cried all the way to the terminal. The workers and other airport partons thought I was insane. Who cares. Steph and I sat for 4 hours in the airport as our flight was delayed. Thinking about laura, finally going home to friends and family, the end of our road trip, the ultimate end of summer. Everything culminated into one end. It was the saddest moment I have had this year.

Chrissy, that last paragraph was so sad for me. We gotta go back asap.

Thu, 02 Sep 2004 23:09:06 GMT

Here's where I let everyone in on the plan for my return to CA. This is what we have so far:

Thursday, September 9th - Get to twins house at night

Friday, September 10th - Senses Fail instore in Riverside then Brandon's b-day at night (or whenever it starts, someone tell me)

Saturday, September 11th - My cousin's having a bridal shower in Solvang so I might go to that and then go see the Vandals and the Matches at the HOB in Anaheim, maybe. I'm thinking we should hookah after the show if we do go.

Monday, September 13th - Tuesday, September 21st - I'll be in Hawaii for my cousin's wedding.

Wednesday, September 22nd - Anti-Flag and Denis's lovers... errr... I mean Midtown at Henry Fonda.

Thursday, Septmeber 23rd - Siouxsie (I guess playing songs from the Banshees and the Creatures) at Hollywood HOB
Friday, September 24th - Anberlin at the Glasshouse
Saturday, September 25th - Ministry at the Hollywood HOB
Wednesday, September 29th - MCR and Letter Kills at SOMA
Friday, October 1st - STYX at the Ventura Theater or H20 and Madball at Chain

Sunday, October 3rd - TWINS BIRTHDAY and MCR and Letter Kills at the Wiltern

Wednesday, October 6th - Senses Fail at the Glasshouse

Everything bold is for sure. Everything else is just a maybe at this point so if you want to go or are going to any of those that aren't bolded let me know. Also, comment if there's anything I forgot or should add. A trip to Disneyland definitely needs to go somewhere in there too.

♥

Continuing with the story...

Sat, 21 Aug 2004 04:32:18 GMT

The next day we decided to switch things up a little bit and get a hotel and a change of scenery from Doc's back yard.

Lookin out the window at a... junkyard...

Despite the scenery, this place was sooooo nice. It even had a pool and hot tub. We took a quick dip before everyone came over.

Once again, Joe brought over beer and bros and the card playing ensued...

Nate cheats, poor Joe...

But so does Joe, poor Brian...

The highlight of the night was when Steph and I played cards for fun and ended up beating all of them. We're just awesome like that.

Remember Jayme? He came too...

Then he passed out...

And Nate rocked out...

Chrissy, Nate and I went for a walk up to the smoking floor. That carpet up there was mighty comfortable so we rested for a bit. The only people left in the room were Jayme and Steph. Fun with sharpies and the mormon bible...

Enough of that partying nonsense. Went to sleep around 7 or so and finally woke up about 10 minutes before we were supposed to check out. Got our shit together and out of there and decided to go swimming again. Eventually went back to Nate's and hung out in the upstairs bedroom. Now let me take a minute to tell you some things about this bedroom. So apparently when RO were on tour they took a picture of a shirtless Joe on a motorcycle. That picture is framed above the bed. A tad bit frightening yes. But not as scary as what we would soon find... So Nate was telling us how Doc has quite a collection of porn. We hadn't seen any so the whole thing was like an urban legend. Well someone got the idea to open the top drawer of the bedside table and this is what we found...

Then we put in a tape... bad idea. Needless to say we are all scarred for life. "Yeah, take it bitch." Oh and did I mention that it was gay porn? No more on that topic.

Strange that all the lights look like boobs...

Sooooo... we needed a break and went looking for food (is it just me or does that seems to be a common theme here?). Before we struck gold we ended up by the awesome Jewish cemetery we had visited a few nights before...

Look closely. It says "Endowed Weiner."

Finally our hunger got the best of us and we went to one of the best place ever: Fresh Taco. Chinese and Mexican food all in one place!! Awesome to the max. As we were finishing Nate calls and proposes the idea of getting more special goodness and going to a movie. Almost all the bros work at this one theater so we just walked in and sat down. Saw "The Village." It was alright I guess. Not what I was expecting. Adrien Brody was fabulous though. Nate left with the biggest bag of popcorn you've ever seen. Too bad no one got a picture of that. However, on the way home we snapped one of the best signs ever...

The lack of sleep the previous night took it's toll and we went to bed early. We heard there was some kind of "party" after we passed out but those things are just silly and unfortunately we had to leave the next morning. And that is where I'll pick up next time.

On a side note: since when are Ryan and Ty in LAO? How did I miss that one?

Tue, 17 Aug 2004 07:17:52 GMT

Twins, correct me if I mix anything up. The whole Jersey week is sort of a blur to me but I'm gonna try my best...

So I left off as we were driving back to Jersey. We got in kinda late and the boys were at the recording studio so we dropped by for a visit. Found Nate and Denis doing vocals for the Laundrymat song (yeah, they say laundrymat even though it's really laundromat, whatever Denis). Played with Nate's action figure and Steph made faces at Denis while he was trying to sing. "YOU mixed emotion..." "You MIXED emotion..." "You mixed EMOtion..." Good times. Steph had the best comeback ever... Denis was making fun of us because we were giggling over something ridiculous I'm sure and he said something mean in a deep voice from the vocal box thingy and Steph said "Wow Denis, that's the first time you've sounded like a man." So great because he didn't hear but everyone else did!! Sucker. So we got bored of that recording crap and went to the Edison Diner to eat. WAY nicer than the one we almost ate at in NY, by far.

The next day we went to the mall...

Then Mike came by and we followed him and his sweet ride to some record store they are doing an instore at sometime soon. Chrissy bought a Sid Vicious action figure. Best purchase of the entire trip. It's so hot. Next on the agenda was food. Went over to the Rutgers campus and got some bomb Japanese food followed by this weird drink thing that had chewy balls at the bottom. No joke. Mike and Steph heart those, Chrissy hates them and I thought the drink itself was super good but the balls got old after a while. Anyways... we jumped in Mike's car and he took us on a tour of the campus, or shall I say campuses. We drove around for at least an hour just looking at all the buildings and listening to the Bled. Saw some deer. Went back to Mike's for a lil bit and played with the dogs. One was pure evil and wouldn't stop barking but the other was sooooo cute. Said hi and bye to his mom yet again and then headed our seperate ways. Went back to Nate's house and I think this was the night of the attack of the bros. There were soooo many of them and they were all drunk and playing cards. What weirdos.

The next day consisted of sleeping and crashing Post Break Tragedy practice (The other band Nate's in besides Runaway Orange for those of you following this extensive cast of characters). Chrissy ate Spaghetti-O's...

I cut Nate's hair right before Steph went psycho with the scissors...

Met Jeff aka El Hefe... he's cool...

Met Jayme that night. He's cool too. Walked to the grocery store to find him food but got sidetracked by the rides and Chrissy fantasizing over Mr. Shelton...

Had a jam session with Jayme where we sang RO and the Used at the top of our lungs along to his acoustic guitar playing skills. Then everyone went back to Nate's and we went on an herbal remedies run. Let me tell you, it's NOTHING like the stuff we have out here but it was good times nonetheless. Then Sean and Lou did some gymnastics moves. "Crabwalk!" "Which way?! Ahhhhh!!!"

Then I beat up Chrissy before we went to bed...

The next morning us girls went and got chinese food which was awesome then went to yet another cemetery. Apparently this one is one of the oldest on the east coast or something like that (and highly infested with mosquitos, I think we all suffered major blood loss after walking around for a half hour).

"Look and see as you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now so you must be
Prepare for death & follow me"
Creepy, no?

This hole you put me in wasn't deep enough and I'm climbing out right now...

Then it was back to Nate's for Runaway Orange practice!!! Minus Ed who was on vacation so that was a bummer. All the twins decided they needed to form a hardcore band while Nate was taking a break...

And then it was back to the other place for yet another Post Break practice. I think we sat outside for the entirity of this one. Met a cool kid named Sauce though. We were like "WHOA!! We have a Sauce too!!" Heart you Mike Wood!! Anyways, Nate knew of this cool Jewish cemetery so he, Jeff, Sauce, twins and I embraced our creepiness and went for a late night stroll. The boys eventually ran off and left us by ourselves and attempted to scare us. Didn't work. Sean and two of his friends found us and we walked around some more. There were bats everywhere.

Chrissy and Sauce attempting to light the jesus candle in the wind. Aren't they precious?! They look like they're five...

Twins got locked up...

Sean pretended to be Spider Man...

Then we went to some high school and set off fireworks. They were loud as fuck. Once we got back to Nate's he and Sean... well... see for yourselves...

And I think that's a good place to stop for now. Hotel party pictures tomorrow!!

Back to the story...

Mon, 16 Aug 2004 05:52:22 GMT

So the next horrible states we had to drive through were Ohio, West Virgina and Pennsylvania. PA was insanely pretty but they charge you up the ass to drive on the roads. Boooo.

Ohio

West Virgina, duh...

Do you want to go to Pittsburgh or California... hmmm...

We made it to Jersey at like 2 am where we were greeted by the wonderful Ed. He's a doll and waited up for us to get there and took us to Doc's where we attempted to wake up Nate but he could only make some weird mumbling noises. The next afternoon we left for Syracuse. Traffic, boredom and rain like whoa. But we finally got there just in time to have missed all the sucky opening bands. Watched some of Senses Fail but went outside because it was like 10 billion degrees in that place and we've all seen them way too many times anyways. Watched all of My Chem (how the cool Jersey kids say it) and sweated our asses off. I think air conditioning was against their religion or something.

Found Mike after the show. The wind almost killed us all and made the boys go on a frantic search to find the weed that had blown away. One of the funniest things I have ever seen. Chrissy's hardcore scream and Gerards praise. Buddy dropping the cigarettes, bastard. Decided to go get food since they had a 3 am bus call. Since we don't have real diners out on this coast we tried to find one because we thought it would be cool. Yeah... the second we stepped inside Mike was like "You guys don't really want to eat here do you?" It was the most ghetto thing I have ever seen. We probably all would have died from food poisoning or some shit like that. Scary. Found an IHOP like a half hour away from the venue. Talked about music, the switch to Vagrant, money and Mike's lightning fast eating skills. Went back to the venue to drop Mike off. Ray was playing basketball by himself but then the fad caught on and others joined. Matt almost killed himself and Frank was a ho (maybe that was before we went to eat but it was still funny). Said our goodbyes and headed to Connecticut. Drove all fucking night and got there at like 8 am. No Doz is our friend. Drove around Yale then found some cool cemeteries in Hamden.

FINALLY got a hotel at 2 pm. Showered then fell asleep at like 7 and slept all fucking night. I don't remember what we did that day besides meeting up with Nick and hanging out at Pete's house before the show. Met some cool people at the show. Britt being the best one, duh! Met Mike's mom and watched SF from the stage because once again the venue didn't believe in air conditioning. Jerry kicked us off stage right after My Chem went on. He's still cool though =) The pictures for this one didn't turn out so good...

Talked to Mike's mom for a while after the show while she was waiting for him. She rules. Got pizza then went back to the hotel.

The next morning we went to the other cemetery we found and saw a bunch of creepy statues.

Went to Nick's house and hung out for a while. Laughed for about 20 minutes straight over "Bo Boo Opps!" The person meant to write "Boo Boo Oops" but apparently they didn't pass kindergarten... Made Nick some signs to hang up on his wall. Grover Dill died R.I.P. Then it was back to Jersey for us.

There are sooooo many pictures from the days we were there. I'll spare you the bordeom right now. Check back tomorrow my loves!!!

ps - My nose ring fell out AGAIN. I give up.

Sun, 15 Aug 2004 02:39:06 GMT

So I left off as we were heading out of New Mexico. The next state we hit was Texas. Chrissy and I were asleep for the most of this one but we woke up to Steph saying something like "Holy shit you guys, wake up and look at this fucking cross."

You see that little black thing at the foot of the cross that slightly resembles a human? Yeah, that's Steph...

And of course the fetus...

Chrissy thought this one looked tasty...

And we couldn't leave without cracking all kinds of jokes at these...

Then we drove some more...

And eventually made it to Oklahoma where we were reunited with our love Kasey. The car ride to Kansas basically consisted of sleeping followed by random bits of insanity...

These are my personal favorites... ever...

The next day (in perfect Laura, Steph, Chrissy and Kasey fashion) we went to another cemetery...

Isn't this hysterically ironic?!

This made Chrissy sad. Don't worry, Matt's not THAT old...

Then Kasey and Chrissy got married in front of the mausoleum. How romantic...

We decided to make Gordy faces and pretend to be gargoyles...

Next stop was the OKC Bombing Memorial...

For our last night in town we decided to go out with a bang and went to Keat's house and good times were had by all... well that's if you exclude Chrissy getting shot in the face with a super soaker...

The next morning it came time to say goodbye which always sucks but we had to make it to Tennessee in time to check out Graceland (which was pretty fucking cool)... I slept while the girls debated if Kyle is indeed jesus and drew on my foot, bastards...

And did I mention Steph hit an animal while driving to Kasey's from Keat's?

Memphis? Maybe...

We got a hotel that night in some city that ruled. Steak n Shake was fun. But the hairdryer in our room was gross and I spat out the window to show my disapproval...

So the theme of the trip seemed to be things related to jesus. Everywhere we looked was some weird holy thing. Kinda ironic because the two cd's that were our soundtracks were Letter Kill's The Bridge (jesus band) and My Chemical Romance's Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge (soooo not a jesus band).

Awesome.

Sat, 14 Aug 2004 08:18:04 GMT

Alright children. The suspense is over. Here are some of the pictures from our trip. These are only from the first 2 days. I'll post more tomorrow. Just for reference the pictures with the dates on the bottom are from Steph's camera and the others are from mine.

ARIZONA

At first it was fucking hot. 117 degrees.

And then the clouds started growing darker...

And then we found ourselves in the middle of a big fucking lightning storm...

Pretty cool, huh? So then we drove all night long and ended up in

NEW MEXICO

Steph ate Jesus...

And I did a cool trick with my windshield wipers...

We saw a sign for Billy the Kid's grave so we made the 30 minute drive off the highway to go check it out. Pretty fucking cool.

There were only about 20 other people buried in the same cemetery...

Then we went to the Billy the Kid Museum and saw a bunch of cool shit...

Notice how the numbers go up to 31... ???

An 8 legged cow...

Billy's jail cell that he escaped from...

The two necessities of life, booze and ciggarettes...

These were fake but funny...

And last, the actual town of Fort Sumner, New Mexico...

That's it for now. Check back later for more including the biggest fucking cross ever, a fetus, a cemetery, a memorial and the infamous bible page joint.

Mon, 02 Aug 2004 17:45:20 GMT

So I'm sitting here in Hamden Connecticut at the library. Good times. We were dying without internet access for 9 days or however long it's been.

I won't keep you guys in suspense but I'll just give a brief run down of the events that have taken place so far.

Oklahoma - Went to Warped Tour. Got alot of "Holy shit!" and "What the fuck are you guys doing here?!" remarks. Anti-Flag stole the show. GOOOOO!! #2 being a stripper. Saw a bunch of bands that reminded us of home. The Matches, AOF, the Erks, Kill Radio... KR was AMAZING. I miss their live shows. Hung out at Keat's place. Bible joint. Stoney eyes. Don't even ask. Steph hit a bunny. Oh yeah, and we saw Billy the Kid's grave in New Mexico. Pictures will come when I get home to Utah.

Tennessee - Went to Graceland. Saw Elvis's grave. Looked for the restaurant Barry told us about but couldn't find it. Stayed at a nice hotel. Woke up and drove through a bunch of states that I can't even remember right now. It's all a big blur.

Jersey - Got to Ed's at like 2 am. Old school RO poster that makes them look like NSYNC. Went to Doc's and slept.

New York - Got to Syracuse like a half hour before the Senses Fail/MCR show started. Way too fucking hot. The bands were good, the crowd were pussies. Found Mikey after and went to a diner that was so ghetto we didn't stay. IHOP rules. Talked about alot of shit. Good times. Went back to the venue. Asa. Weed blowing away in the wind. Drunken basketball. "I'm a HO." Mike making Chrissy do her hardcore scream for Gerard. "That's pretty good for a girl." Precious.

Connecticut - Drove all night after the Syracuse show. Dead tired. Found like 4 cemeteries all within a 5 mile radius. Took tons of pictures. Got a hotel. Slept for like 15 hours. Grover Dill show. They're awesome. Funeral For A Friend was... amazing. I adore them. Mike let us stand on stage for Senses Fail. Fun times. It wasn't as hot. Let me tell you, I've never been so hot and sweaty in my entire life. The humidity over here is almost unbearrable. Ugh, anyways the highlight of the night was Matt Davies grabbing Gerards butt. MCR was good. Met Mike's mom. She's too cute. We wanted to kidnapp her and take her home because she's so damn precious. I know I'm forgetting alot.

ANYWAYS, were still in Connecticut and gonna head back to Jersey as soon as we're done here and we say goodbye to all the kids. Weird NJ places here we come!!

Mon, 19 Jul 2004 11:18:19 GMT

And the countdown begins. 5 days? I think. We HAVE to hang out before then. And yes this applies to each and every one of you.

♥

Mon, 12 Jul 2004 21:40:39 GMT

Isn't this precious?

I ♥ you Em!

This one's good too:

Let's play a game...

Mon, 05 Jul 2004 05:18:02 GMT

Can you find Em, Chrissy and Steph?

Thu, 01 Jul 2004 07:45:29 GMT

I'm gonna take the easy way out of this and just post links to the pictures that are in demand right now.

Here are the ones from the photo shoot at the Cobalt.
And these are from last night.

I never realised what potty mouths we are until we had to converse with those jesus boys.

Thu, 24 Jun 2004 06:56:02 GMT

Wisdom teeth are out. I feel like hell. Fuckers didn't even give me vicodin, only some stupid prescription form of motrin. So pops gave me morphine... hell yeah.

But don't fret all my fellow pill poppers. We're calling the dentist tomorrow and demanding pain killers. Good times.

Oh yeah, Bryce from the Rocket Summer is like a male cheerleader on speed but how I ♥ him so. And no Tim, Brightlife did NOT "need" to break up.

Sun, 20 Jun 2004 08:40:39 GMT

Sat, 19 Jun 2004 10:15:44 GMT

Once upon a time there were 4 girls named Laura, Emily, Steph and Chrissy. They decided to drive up to Oakland for the day to see one of their favoritest bands, the Matches. It would turn out to be HELLA fun. They left Thousand Oaks at 4:30 am. Drove for a long ass time. Talked about how "happy cheese doesn't come from California cows" and sang their hearts out to Dashboard Confessional. Emily and Laura rocked out to Celine Dion not once but TWICE! Thank god for NorCal radio stations.

So, once they arrived in the murder capitol of the world they thought it would be fitting to visit the oh so lovely Mountain View Cemetery.

They found one of the "houses" that had been broken into and saw that the coffin had a window!

The girls left the cemetery and made a visit to the Creamatory down the street. Can we say creepy? They were the only ones in there and there were Jesus phrases EVERYWHERE.

By this time the show was about to start so they made their way over to Imusicast. One problem- they hadn't slept in a really long time. Caught a little bit of the acoustic performance then bought tickets but decided to not go in yet. Despite the hot sun they attempted to take a little nap. Well this worked for Emily and Chrissy but Steph and Laura decided to go in and catch some of the opening bands (meaning they sat on the couch and listened and made fun of people). Emily and Chrissy woke up then the girls hung out by the bathrooms and discussed pink eye and interrupted a water balloon war. We rule.

Finally, the Matches played.

Emily and Chrissy hardcore danced. Beat people up. Watched the kids get real low to the floor in some parts of the songs. The girls were scared but were totally the most awesomest people there.

Alas, the show had to come to an end. Waited for the boys for what seemed like forever. They disappeared on us. They'll hear about that next time we see them. Fuckers.

Since no one in that god forsaken town knew of anything fun to do, the 4 tired and sweaty girls piled back into the car to start the long drive home. Very uneventful, but I hear Steph and Chrissy sang along to the whole Avril cd while Laura and Emily were sleeping. Can we say fired?

All in all it was a wonderful trip and the only cool people in Oakland are dead (or weren't home).

The End.

Oh yeah, we saw Piebald the other night. Amazing live band. I wanted to put the singer in my pocket and take him home with me ♥

PS- I'll update about AOF, Oakland and Celine Dion later. Too tired right now.

It's late and I'm tired. Too much fun tonight with Emily, Alexis, Heather and twins. I'm far too lazy to post pictures so instead I'll provide you with a link since Em will not be happy if I don't post them. But here's a small summary of the night. Went to a hookah bar somewhere near Anaheim. Drove around for about 45 minutes before we actually found the damn place. I gave Em and Chrissy haircuts in the parking lot. Luigi or Johnny or whatever his name was is a weirdo. Alexis- I noticed you aren't in any of the pictures. Were you hiding or just didn't want the girl's hair on you? Fun times at Denny's. Emily's evil. Onions are the worst but crabs are cool. Photoshoot like whoa. Walked into the green paint. The end ♥

**PICTURES LIKE WHOA**

I found this highly amusing: *Story of the Year get their asses kicked*

Godsmack is just as terrible as Creed. They need to break up too.

ps- Michael Buffer has the most annoying voice EVER.

Fuck yeah. Creed broke up.
