The little bit of random...

Dear Rachael,


I have a confession. Today I went to Mcdonald's and had an ice cream cone. The guy overfilled it to the point where it was basically like having two ice cream cones. Also, they fixed the ice cream machine and it's no longer hard and gross, but the good ice cream again. I felt guilty at first just getting Mcdonald's ice cream without you, but then when I realized I was pretty much eating two cones without you, I felt super guilty. When are we hanging out so I can eat Mcdonald's ice cream without a guilty conscience? Also when are we seeing Abduction at the fancy movie theatre?


With Love,
Kira

Day 103!

MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK DAY 2!


This was the meet and greet. Heather, Dan and I purposely wore our large geek glasses to get into MCS character. We also made lame faces because...well I don't know why, but it was requested by Heather and it seems in the second photo Justin was the only one that followed us on that.

The guy in the back with the maroon shirt on, he's Paul. We met him at the show, super cool dude. Also if you are ever in need of attention, you should go to American Apparel and buy the tights I am wearing here. I can't tell you how many people stop, stare or ask if those are tattoos. How random of a tattoo that would be.

Hey look at that, I sorta figured out my camera.

For the most part at a show I like to be in the crowd, not as if I can see better, because being just under 5'1 I can never see over anyone. However, I don't like being up against the barricade because sometimes shows get intense and bruised ribcages have happened before. Somewhere in the back or middle is where I like to be. I like the whole experience of the show. The heat, the loud music, moving with the crowd, being pushed from the crazy mosh pit and sticking to the floor from usually a spilt beer. I love that stuff. However this show, both days, I stood up on the balcony to see better. I greatly regret it. I missed out on all the fun. Look at that awesome crowd.




















Aren't they amazing?

Day 102!

MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK DAY 1!

I bought special VIP tickets to see the amazing Motion City Soundtrack at Irving plaza. My vip tickets gave me early entry for two days, a meet and great with the band and a bunch of cool stuff like drum sticks. Well worth the price, which really wasn't all that expensive.

Sorry for the poor quality on this photo. I couldn't bring my nice camera into the venue, nor do I know the features on my basic point and shoot camera to try to get a better shot.

There are some songs I call my favorites and some songs I call my obsessions. This song is one of my many obsessions.

I would absolutely love some help right now!

I have an absurd homework assignment where I have to get people to call/text a number and leave a message. We had examples like, call this number and win a prize, or call this number and tell me why you're mad. I came up with the idea of pretending to plaster New York City with my friend's number, for people to prank him. If you have a moment and want to help me out, call or text this 917-409-8310  (it's just a google voice number not my real number, or Dave's lol). I would greatly appreciate the help.

"And they sing, help me, help me won't you?"

Day 101!

This basically sums up why I haven't posted in some time....

If anyone has time they don't need, pass it on to me, I am desperate. Seven classes, two part-time jobs and an internship. What was I thinking? lol.

Here's one of the many things taking up my time. It's not even close to finish, and it's due this week. Let's hope someone gives me some of their unused time to get this done  ; )

If you can't tell that's David Bowie. During his awesome Ziggy Stardust days.

I'm currently at school, on my break, and I decided to look at my blog. My goodness is it a mess! Nothing is centered, my captions aren't under the photos as they should be, it's terrible. Does this look that way to anyone else, or is it just the computers at my school? If not, I'm going to assume since I use a Mac and I'm checking the blog from a PC that it makes some sort of difference.

 I don't have a photo for this post about my blog mayhem. So instead, I have photos from the weekend!

I went geocacheing with Dan and Chris. It was soo cool. If you don't know what geocacheing is, check it out. Geocaching. It's not too hard to explain, but it's easier just to check out the site. Here is the first geocache we found. It's hidden in between all that wood. There were a total of three of them that we went to. I found this one!

Here is the third geocache, Chris found this one. Dan found the second one, I forgot to take a photo of that one though. Out of all the geocaches, this third one was the best. There were a lot of old toys in there, like old Hot Wheels cars/trucks and a Mickey Mouse Weeble Wobble! lol. I actually took the Weeble Wobble in exchange for a white Juicebox bracelet. I say it was a good deal.

Day 100!

Whoa! I got to my 100th post before the end of the summer! Goal completed. Sorta. Now if I could only get to the 365th post.

Calm before the storm...

The morning of Hurricane Irene I went to my backyard and it was the creepiest thing. Not a sound, not a single sound from an animal. There were no crickets, birds, or squirrels about and it was creepy. Since animals have better instincts than us and can tell when there is danger on the way, Hurricane Irene being it, it scared me a bit to know they were gone, taking cover. Luckily where I was, there wasn't much damage from the hurricane, especially in comparison to other parts of the east coast.

However Jersey did get hit hard, no doubt. Lots of beach erosion, fallen trees, crushed houses, cars, my mom's garden, and flooded streets and homes.

I didn't take this picture, I took it from NJ News 12's website. The wave might not look so big, but then compare it to the pier. Huge!

If anyone else experienced the hurricane, they also experienced that ridiculous madness it caused at grocery stores. I will admit, my family was a part of the madness. Stocking up on nonperishables, cases and cases of water, freezing bottles, making ice, buying way too many flashlights, with extra batteries of course and bringing in all the yard furniture, is what my family did to prepare for the storm. My precautions were much different. Backed up my computer, made sure my iPod was fully charge, stocked up on clif bars and showered the night before, just in case we lacked hot water, or just water. Neither of our precautions were exactly needed. lol. Which was good or course, because now we have an unlimited supply of batteries so we can continuously make shadow puppets with the flashlights. Plus we don't need to step into BJ's for at least two weeks with all the water we have! It's a win, win.



"And it's just what I need. To get me through the storm tonight. Whoa, I don't have to be afraid of the wind. And that's good to know. 'Cause I've heard it all before. But I'm walking on water now."
