for the sake of friends, music, and funnnn, we mobbed out to NYC. we're adventerous like that ;)
and because julius mauro is amazing and has so many miles wracked up, jewels and i not only flew for FREEEE but we also flew FIRST CLASS for free!! hahaha... did you know they give you hotel mini bar sized liquor bottles just cause you are there? they just keep handing them to you! and HELLO! CRANIUM!!!!!
jewels made us take a picture even though we were just off the plane and hadnt slept the night before... we were basically BROKE ASS CHICKS - so i flicked the camera off.
meghan was commonly seen in this position, documenting the best of the best. seriously... you just wait til this writing hits the internet.
so, day one consisted of settling into james' apartment, and seeing Nightmare Of You for FREE at some bar at midnight... wow! more free stuff!!!
however, the drinks weren't free so meghan pregamed and was tanked by the time we got to the cab. well, before that. on the walk there she ran into a tree branch and said "oh excuse me!" to it. this is one of fifteen thousand reasons discovered this weekend that meghan haffey is fucking M-A-ZING!!!!!
this is haffey's crotch. . i saw it a lotttt this weekend, but this moment, she was so fucking manly it was amazing.
during the show, meghan and jewels needed many cigarette breaks. well, meghan took one or two.. jewels was seeking out a new friend, but you wouldnt know it from her moves on meghan.
"this is SO new york!!" meghan says..
so what my friends love each otehr???
after the show, we went into a mart cause we thought it was a good idea. we hadn't eaten much that day... except when meghan and jewels split a sandwich. MEGHAN SACRIFICED HER FACE PLANTING ON THE CEMENT FOR THiS SANDWICH!!!! anyway, here's the market where the men were creepy and overcharged our drunkasses i am sure!
"jewels! jewels!! waaait... take my picture like this!!" and honestly, we have no fucking clue whyyyy ....
not sober.
meghan made us take a picture in front of the elevator. yeah. i dont know.
day two: we mobbed around the city being tourists, seeing cast members of arrested development, and searching for cowboy boots.
first subway experience for meghan and jewels.
AH AHHHHHHHH moments unlimited...
so here was jewels NYC highlight. construction. i am not even kidding.. i hadnt seen her smile so huge and squiggle around with excitement the entire trip... til the sparks from the construction workers.
day three: BAMBOOOOOZLE!!!!!!
we took a bus to the beeeautiful north end of jersey. seriously... i think every part of that area is the closest thing to hell. it all seemed like BFE everywhere we went.
justin made us walk around the ENTIRE giants stadium to find the van like 500 ft from where we started. we had a buncha bags and it was hot. justin drove us to drink before noon.
but then we mobbed in and it was nothing but sunshine and smiling faces!
this kid really liked halifax.
LOOK HOW MANY KIDS BOUGHT HTL STUFF?!?! we didnt even cry when they played. thats some sorta whimpy rumor. i dont even get it. i mean, we're proud... but we're strong, sober, adults here, man.
after the longest day of my life.. where farrrr too few pictures were taking... we went to the hotel with our friends and then to the after party for mikafux's birthday and some free drinks. mike was puking when we got there, but our cab driver was amazing!! (not justin, conor, and my driver though... she.. was.. insane.) anyway, here's what drinking for 14 hours looks like:
ps.. theyre basically each other's halves. i am so glad they met. alex was the most adorable thing on the planet about my crazy woman. BFF FF FF FFFFF.
here's where meghan took jewels' camera and tried to take pictures outside of the party, waiting for our cab. if you get motion sickness easily, dont look!!
day four: sucked 80% of the time. no showers. hardly sleep. some good friends. some weak friends. hot. hung over. sober. goodbyes. awkwardness. "friends" hooking up with moms. 7 dollar beers. new jersey. cold. taxis. hotels from hell. hunger. not real food. no good food. FREE WINE & WATER. texting sessions out of this world.
i dunno who took this cause i was in the bathroom. peeing NOT in a port-a-potty and thinking about jack's mannequin. honestly.
after the show.. we said by to our HTL/ohio family.
most adorable drunk colin.
AND LASTBUTNOTLEAST... the cutest picture in the world, that fullllly sums us up - especially on our trip! meghan and i do not like clothes. all our shit is around the hotel room. it was hot and airconditionless. we were sunburned. we were texting our new best friends, who were in the same van and house while we were both a bed apart. jewels was uncomfortable and wanted us to put clothes on. theres some PB on the desk. just an amazing picture.... lemme count the ways....
