..and a happy new year!

i think blogs are dumb. and justines right. there just for people who think their lifes are actually worth writing about, and i am deffinetly not one of those people, so this will probably be the last thing i write in here. so 2007 is almost over and I have to say this was a pretty sucessful year for myself. I've been through a lot of ups and down but i was never EVER down and out. ha! looking back I cant believe how different I was at the begging of the year. I was obsessed with junk like fall out boy and being 'scene'. wtf. so i could sit here and explain how i was and who i was friends with month by month but that would just be wasting everyones time. so for my liking (an no one elses) i guess ill just talk about the highlights and lowlights of the year. haha. wow im gay.

I'm not sure when this picture was taken but i know it was somewhere around the beggining of the year. that was a fun trip to chicago. i cant believe that was almost a year ago. and boy are things different now. i remember i spent the whole day with miranda. we went into water tower place and took picutres of us eating the most discusting sushi on earth. we also took pictures with some nasty cupcakes and talked like Audrey Kitching all day and acted like we dumped starbucks coffee on someones car. we saw some girl that looked like ryan ross and took a picture of her from far away and then told shane we met ryan ross. i dont know if i ever told him that was a lie, so shane, if your reading this now haha im sorry. it was so cold then too. i remember buying a 20 dollar coat from wet seal. miranda shane and i ended up being on the news too. it was pretty cool. miranda and i got bored though so ha i remember looking for the train station and we ended up running the wrong way down chicago. we finally got to the train and talked about how bad we wanted sidekicks and to meet panic at the disco and listened to the song "don't stop belivein" by journey over and over again because it was on Audrey Kitchings myspace at the time and it remind us of our train ride

haha the day we thought itd be a good idea to dye our hair. we gave shane a hair cut and tried to dye his hair black but that didnt work out too well. justine and i wanted red hair, and obviously that didnt work. we had dye all over our hands so i thought itd look cool if i slapped my self in the face to look like a bloody hand print. well, that didnt turn out how i thought it would and the dye wouldn't come out either ahahaha. if i remember right this is the same day that we made a panic at the disco music video that was really creepy and i lost my white ipod in the snow. haha i could be wrong though.

i can't look at these pictures without smiling. this was one of the funniest days of my life. im pretty sure it was a half day in either janurary or feburary and we all spent the whole day together. bowling, running threw the cemetarys and just having a blast. ha. at one point we were all at justines house watching jerry springer and eating chinesse food. i remember it being like 20 people. tyler and waymond put dresses on but wouldnt let anyone see them in them ha. then we wanted to go tylers house so we had to cut threw the cemetary. we had to go under a fence and brandon was pulling us through it like we were running from the nazi's. i miss him so much. i miss waymond and tyler too. i miss all of them. look at how hard me and justine are laughin in that picture! hah.

haha. my very first set of hair extentions. miranda and sydney put them in for me. little did i know that they would become an addiction that i reccently kicked the habbit of. god they iched so bad when i first put them in. miranda and i thought it would be a good idea not to wash our hair for weeks and just keep putting more and more hairspray in. we also took some pictures with cigarettes and i remember joking around saying our hair would catch on fire from all the hairspray. those were the days when i lived on nothing but monster and rockstar. my stomach would hurt so bad. i remember driving around in julies car listening to buy u a drank over and over again. and sometimes i miss it.

the day i got my first refurrel from school. the only reason im writing about this is because it was probably one of the funniest days ever. im not sure why but i had my camera on in my purse and i was taking a movie of me and brandon making faces. we had a sub that day so we were like whatever. ha. all the sudden she popped up in my movie and started freaking out telling me it was against the law and all this crazy shit. next thing i knew they had me down in 109 tryin to suspend me. i ended up getting I.S.S instead. i sat in there and read the AP magizine with The Academy Is on the cover over and over again. Later that day justine and i went to go and see the last pirates of the caribbean movie, and let me tell you we were sooo confused!

haha oh god. the day we took brandons car and went joy ridin. none of us had our licines yet, the only one with temps was brandon. and we thought itd be a good idea to go ride around town. haha and it was. first brandon let me drive and i was laughing so hard cause i was so nervous. it was the first time i actually drove a car. i was going down the wrong side of the road and wasnt even looking were i was going. we got down to the pier and he let justine drive. holy shit. she floored it and we went straight towards the lake. kaylee and i were FREAKIN out in the back seat. ahahaha. good times.

the night we all got arrested. hands down, the most exciting night of my life. the carnival was in town last may and we were all chillin there being straight hoodlums. it was getting late so Liz decided we should all go stay at this house that she USED to live at. so it was around 12 kids maybe? i cant remember but we all made up stories to tell our parents where we were and then just go chill at this house all night. sounds pretty dull actually. well, it was around 2 or 3 in the morning and a couple of kids were running around outside yelling and screaming when the people across the street decided to call the police. fucking bastards. we were all laying on the floor in the living room when someone goes "fuck the cops are here!" everyone booked for the back door. haha we were almost to the fence too when roy goes "what the fuck are you doing?! get back in this house we cant leave!" i have no idea why i listened but i did and went back in the house. Tyler, Taylor and Paul all jumped the fence though and got free and Alison was lucky and left with some guy and slept in his car. haha. anyways we all went back in the house, girls up stairs boys in the basement. We were laying on the floor and the cops were shining these lights in the house and I remember praying "please dont catch us please dont catch us". but they caught us. They pulled all the girls out and asked us if there was anyone else in the house, haha we all said "no!" sure enough they went back in and got like 5 more kids out of the basement. I was in such deep shit. haha but it was so much fun. The cops we douches and gave us really expensive tickets. some one remind me of how much they were again i forget. All I know is that me and eddie were the only ones who paid it. Everyone else went to court and got it dropped. haha.

the day we all skipped fourth hour and went to the park! damn i was such a bad ass kid this year. haha sooo, i stopped going to school towards the end of freshman year and basically chilled outside, so one day we all went to the park but getting out of school was an obstacle. i dont know if this was the same day butttttt amber and i were at her locker when all the sudden eddie moe and brooke popped there heads out of the orchestra room. haha we were like wtf were u guys doing in there? they told us how they dipped out just in time because theyre class and teacher had just walked by and they were hidding. hahah. we went to the park and just played like we were back in elementry school. it was fun.

oh hahaha. they day we skipped school and went to burger king IN THE RAIN. wtf we were thinking. haha idk. but all i do know is that my weave smelt soooooooo bad. it was discusting. i had fake hair in there too. that barbie hair haha omg remember that shit?! sickkkk. it was raining sooo hard. roy and angiee went to supervalue though and stole a butt load of monsters for us all to drink on the way back to school. it was amazing.

the last day of school freshman year, and the first day of summer. haha i remember. i didn't even go to school that day. wow, no wonder i failed pretty much everything. i ended up going to angiees house with roy and moe and she made us breakfast (my favorite scrambled eggs) and we watched kid shows in spanish. then we walked back up to school to meet up with everyone and me amber linzy and laken all went to there house then out with EVERYONE god there was sooo many people wtih us that day. we walked all over and had just tons of fun. That was the day i lost my favorite ramones shirt though so taht was a bum out.

this had to be thee creepiest day of my whole life. see that old man we're with. yeah, he wanted adopted us and make us his sex slaves. no lie. ask katie and katie cause they were obviously there. haha. you know those geico commericals with the talking gecco? yeah, he plays the voice of that and hes also some big star from like the 50s or 60s. either way, hes the creepiest old british man ive ever met in my life and it was amazing.

this was the 4th of july and i had pink hair. enough said.

haha so this was the day julie and i drove around and did nothing. we got bored and decided to make a video dedicated to one of our (then favorite) bands this providence. little did we know that it would turn out to be hilarous and get 1,434 views on youtube. to this day i cant watch that video without laughing.

one of the many "scene saturdays" in the summer. and haha every saturday would basically consist of this. we'd wake up and me and allison would meet at angiee house. sit around do whatever take myspace pictures. call up eddie moe and roy. theyd come over. we'd watch a million episodes of scarred haha and then maybe call some more people. sometimes we'd go to little ceasars and get pizza cause theyre only 5 bucks! then we'd hop on a bus and take it to the lake we're we'd take some pictures. But some days we'd get as far as burger king, sit in there for like 5 hours and drink those oreo sundae shakes. haha which are delicious! either way, i miss Scene Saturdays!

haha omg. ok so this picture. This was the VERY FIRST magizine that Audrey Kitching was in, and I was soooooo excited. Angiee Allison and I were at the mall when i found it. I'm pretty sure we were back to school shopping or something. and some mexican sold me that ballon hat for like 3 bucks or something.

haha omg. the harry potter midnight magic party! i've never felt like a bigger nerd in my life. julie and i thought itd be fun to go up to barnes and nobles to wait for the realse of the last harry potter book. now i always think im a big time harry potter freak until i got there and saw some of the people. haha there was some kid there dressed up like ron and we kept stalking him. it was pretty fun. we go to make wands and got some glasses and stuff. it was raw. even though i cant remember what happened in the last book i do remember that that was the best party ive ever gone too. haha i remember people kept being all snotty to us because we didnt have reserved copys and shit. haha. whatever.

Family vacation. we went to greenbay wisconsin. We are bears fans. it pretty much explains its selve.

WARPED TOUR 2007. Lucky 13 and my very first warped tour. We saw a whole butt load of bands but the only ones I remember watching were All Time Low and Paramore, I was forced to sit through boys like girls too. and bless the fall, holy shit they fucking suck! But yeah it was amazing. I passed out after Paramore though. haha Justine and I were not ready for it. Tips for next years warped tour. DO NOT wear a skirt, DO NOT pick up every free thing they give you, save your money for water and DONT drink monster all day. haha yes.

The first time see the Sleeping With Giants tour. the academy is was SOOO good. Jack the Camera guy CAME UP TO US! we didn't go up to him, and he said he liked my shirt. haha which means he was checkin out my boobies haha. he wants me. and i was completely obsessed with him at the time. wtf. i know. I remember making fun of The Rocket Summer and i couldn't understand a single word Armor For Sleep sang. I was in front of Mike Carden and i swear to god i felt his sweat hit me in the face at one point.

the night i met the best people in the world. i never clicked with people so fast in my life. the moment i met trisha and cassie i knew that we'd be life long friends. haha i sound so gay but its true. all we did was talk about bands and quote TAI tv. haha FINALLY i found people who understand where im coming from. (i wear that panic hoodie a lot dont i?)

the paramore concert. i cried the whole time. haha i love that band so much. it was an alright preformance though. ive seen them do better. and it really made me sad. i miss the old paramore. the paramore that wore old jeans with holes and random band tees. the paramore most of you have no idea about.

Justine's party. this picture pretty much sums up the only cool people that were there. Me Caitlin Justine and her little brother Austin haha. Seeing as we were the ONLY people who had costumes on and it was a freaking Halloween party! wtf people?! my cousin Lindsey and Ashton has coustumes though, and they are also pretty freaking cool. oh and i must add, i did love being chased down the street and raped by Rachel Shapiro.

Tourzilla. alright, this was a boys like girls concert but im pretty sure we all know by now how much i hate the band boys like girls. abosuletly hate them. and the only reason i attended this dreadful concert was because one of my favorite bands ALL TIME LOW was opening for them. and they always put on an amazing show. we were at the rave ALLL day. we got there at like 10 in the morning and it was FREEZING. the night before we made cupcakes for all time low and because we were celebrating trishas 18th birthday! haha. the cupcakes were nasty though and gave us stomach aches. we met our best friends in the band Maintain Composure for the first time. there a good band check them out. We were sitting in mcdonalds with Hey Chris when Jack and Rian from all time low walked in and i was pretty sure i was going to die. We met up with them again later at the show. I love them there so sweet. haha. We didn't even pay attention to boys like girls but we hid in some bushes trying to spy or haha finddd Marty Doodle. no luck.

Rachel Shapiros party. It was really good to spend time with my good friends from middle school again. even though things werent exactly how they used to be, it was still nice and i had fun eating her food. and of corse being raped.

this was the first half of my birthday party celebration thingy. we went and saw Motion City Soundtrack and Metro Station opened for them. Let me tell you, i have been waiting AGES to see this band. well, a year but still. I first heard them when they were just a local band in California and i was soo excited to know they were coming close to me. haha. It was awesome, see that tall guy? yeah thats Miley Cyrus's brother no lie. but that was an awesome show. and im pretty sure Motion City Soundtrack is the best live band ive ever seen. haha we ended up meeting these two guys. tehy were soooo cool. they gave us party hats and we started a band called the rainbow bunch. haha i really hope i see those two again some day...

the second time seeing the Sleeping With Giants tour. ok, so the only reason I had to go and see this show again was because on October 23 Cobra Starship jumped on the tour and I was pissed i missed them! and before we got tickets they sold out! me trisha and cassie were heartbroken and freaking out. We were gonna go all the way to missioir or something crazy like that just to see it. But their parents got us really expensive tickets and again i forgot how much tehy were but i was soo greatful and i wish i could repay them some how but we all know how broke i am. haha anyways it was an amazing show. I met Gabe Saporta and thats all that really matters since I am in love with him. He was hittin on me, haha well, he put his hat on my head. which means me wants me hahahaha i wish! but yes hands down the best show ive ever seen since it was with my two favorite people in the whole wide world seeing our favorite band in the whole wide world. it was amazing. cassie and i walked right past mike carden and didnt even realize it was him cause he was looking so good, hahahah! we saw the red bus too and a bunch of other cool people. it was a good day. and we got there at like 9 in the morning OH! and were gonna be on the academy is DVD boo and yah!

its decemeber now and over all i think i had a pretty amazing year. ive gained friends and lots friends. learned lessons that im glad i did. ive made it through things that i was certain i was going to die in (mosh pits at warped tour) i saw amazing bands and made tons of memories. im planning on ending this year on a postive note. im going to the city with my two most favorite people ever, trisha and cassie and going out with a bang.

for 2008 im gonna try something new. im gonna start clean with everyone. from this point on i have nothing against anyone, i dont hate anyone or anything (not counting boys like girls) im gonna be open to more stuff and stop being so closed minded. haha and im actually going to start caring a lot more about the important stuff in life and i think you should too. If people don't like me then its on them. I'm not saying im going to go out of my way to make friends with everyone and make everyone happy. im just saying if you hate me thats great for you but I still will not hate you. I'll simply shurg my shoulders, be the bigger person and move on with my life. it honestly makes everything a lot easier.

quote to sum up my year: "always up or down, never down and out" -the academy is
song of the year: "Born For This" - Paramore (everybody live like its the last day you will ever see)
person that rocked my WHOLE year: Audrey Kitching
