dear internet, HARK! A POST! that's what you do with these things, right? love, rachel
LOL, so it's been two months since my last post (which was hardly a post to begin with when I am only asking people to write anonymous porn) so I thought I would do a little update-y thing.
Two weeks ago, today, I was in New York City with some of my best (and new!) frans (sarcasticpixie,sablier_bloque,farewells,itsthedetails, and jraec89) watching the Jonas band's band Ocean Grove Band (how many times can I say band?) rock my face off at The Gramercy theater. Sigh, sigh, sigh, can we go back to that?
Though, I dnw that weather back. I flew in on Thursday to a small cyclone sweeping its way across the city. There was seriously a time there when Lillian and I couldn't cross the street because the wind was pushing us back so much. My Jeans were completely soaked and I then apparently committed a New York faux pas by eating at Chipotle (I'D NEVER BEEN! IT WAS WONDERFUL. SHUT UP REBEKAH). Thankfully, that was the only day of rain but it was cold as balls for the next few days and so so windy.
Friday was nothing but fun fun fun fun. All the assorted ladies trickled into the city over the afternoon and sablier_bloque and I spent a bit of time wandering around Times Square and visiting the Empire State building (twice) then had lunch at Pret A Manger, which is like French for eating or something idk, I got a B in FR101.
After collecting the ladies from various parts of the city we all headed over to The Museum of Sex and had a grand ole time looking at vintage porn, gay porn, het porn, animal porn! all the porn in all the land! ohmygodsomuchporn! TURTLE PENIS! information about porn! cartoon porn! and there was some discussion about how we like porn and which types of porn (two guys, one girl, yes? anyone?) then there was some sampling of the ~aphrodisiacs at the Oral Fix bar.
creep-illy taken
in the gift shop!
Both Suzie and I were having trouble with our cell phones and keeping battery so there was a scramble to find outlets and in suzie's case, a whole new charger. Then it was off to the venue to shop around for somewhere to eat dinner.
Who knew trying to fit 6 people together somewhere would be so hard? (itsthedetails joined us after she got off of work at dinner.) We tried three or four places before settling on The Globe which was this really fabulous Irish pub place that was practically empty when we rolled in. The server was one of the best. ever. and they didn't card, so drinks for everyone! oh my god, so many drinks. I started off with a Guinness which was really more than enough for this light weight.
There was much pregaming and much fandom talk and more drinks and an overall FANTASTIC time.
candid glamour shot.
SHOWTIME!
we'd timed it (okay, maybe we just kept drinking) to miss most of the opening acts and Suzie continued her campaign to be completely sloshed by the time John Lloyd Taylor hit the stage. And then she had an emotional reaction. You should ask her about it. And the OGB put on a very very good show! I'm still impressed by those dudes.
let's not even talk about this bitch in the green jumpsuit that's in front of me. worst girl everrrrr.
And none for Jack because he was obscured by his drums.
And then after the show they did a meet and greet, the first pic with Rebekah and I was taken with someone else's camera phone and is lost to the internet and all that's left is this blurry pic.
This pic took a whole nother 30 plus minutes to get, dammit.
And John Lloyd Taylor totally knows who Suzie is and thinks she's adorable. He also remembered me! but that is not as important.
And then Suzie and I stalked JLT after the show while Jess and Lillian stalked Ryan. You should ask Suzie about that too. *nods*
AND THEN SIGH SIGH SIGH, THREE OF MY AMIGOS WERE GONE~
Saturday consisted of my arms t-rexin so hard I'm surprised they didn't fall off. But. It paid off. Even though I think maybe I'm too old for this? idk, it was the first time I've done anything like that.
And also this happened. We call it the AllSaints Oreo.
can you see Lillian? can you?? And then I became internet famous. (kinda. i can't help it though, he was so prettyyyyyyyyy (look! lillian again!!))
BLAM. (nick smelled so good oh my lord)
My poor little shipper heart was sad that Nick and Joe were staying at separate hotels but what can you do? (even though Nick was only in town for a day and they totally had dinner with the family Saturday night anyways)
And then we wandered around Times Square again and went to Applebee's and there were CUPCAKES!!!! at Butter and then it was over :(((((((
BAH and then I left on Sunday, woe.
School has been school and I'm still terrible at it. Work has been alright overall but people still irritate me, both customers and coworkers. I really need/want a job that is not retail. Really.
My best friends continue to ignore me so I don't really go out, I just sit in my room and putter about on the internet when I'm not at work or at school. The irony is that I am a communications major and I totally fucking suck at it. and, er, there we have it?
