The Final California Post.

Sunday after waiting In line for about an hour they opened the gates and I walked over to where the Mojave tent was. but there was this yellow tape around it. I was confused. but then my ears picked up. Madonna was doing her sound check. I was surrounded by flamboyantly and demonstrativly gay men.], all screaming and flapping about Madonna. WHen they finally opened the "gates" I was run down. almost trampled. "MADONNNAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It was scary.
SO I squirmed my way to the front of the crowd, and waited. Fineally the first band, One Republic came on. They were kinda blah, but the bassist was left handed and really cute. The next band was Be Your Own Pet. They blew me away, they just had so much energy. Not my style of music by any means, but really fun nonetheless. The Dears, a cool canadian Band played next, and their keyboardist looked like tasha's mom. James Blunt played next. He wasn't that good live. Kinda boring. and all these little girls, and moms who were trying to be hot were screaming. it just annoyed me. I guess that made it worse, he really wasn't all that bad :P
After James Blunt, lots of STUPID people left, and I was SO in the middle of the front for Metric. SHane somehow squished his way up there too, and we have more pictuires of emily haines then anything else ever. SHes just sooooo damn sexy. They played "Succexy", "dead disco", "hustle rose", "On a slow night" (I wanted to call martha so badly), "Poster of a girl", "live it out", and "Monster hospital". *drool*. During dead disco, the bass had some technical difficulties, and It was so funy watching him freak our on stage. (Im so mean). Emily haines is a goddess. wow. They were awesome live. Just awesome. theres nothing more that i can say. SO SO AWESOME!!!!!!!
Wolf Parade, Stellastarr* and The Editors all played next. They were fine. not amazing, but fine. nothing that truely stuck out to me. Except for that crazy girl. SO this girl whos smashed out of her tree, comes up behind me during one of these bands and asks if she can pay me $20 for the front spot. after a little tinkering I say sure, and we switch (just for this band) and then, she passes out on the rail at the front. a security guard wakes her up, and wants to pull her out but she says no... a couple of songs later, she pees herself. yeah. I said it. SHE PEED! so they finally took her out of there, washed off the pee, put newspapers and towels down and then thjings went on as normal. By the time we got to Coheed and Cambria, the tent was PACKED again, so much that I had those clasic rail bruises, from being pushed forward. I got kicked in the head by at least 5 crowd surfers, and it was great :) They put on a really sweet show.
AFter that the whole tent emptied. I went to use the washrooms (GROSS!!!) and wait to see what I could see of tool. I could have waited in the sun all day to get a closer view, but I love metric wayyyy too much for that. SO what does a smart girl like me do? sneak on top of the vip tent. yeah, thats right, I saw tool from the same general place that the camera was filming them from. and they were great too :) I was blown away by how good they were live. after hearing bands that sound good on an album play less well live all day, I was sooooooo impressed with tool. They played all my favourites, Lateralus, Sober, Schism, 46&2, lots more. they were playing till well after 12:30, when they were only supposed to be on till midnight. they played maybe 4 or 5 songs from their new album. and maynard said " so... our new album comes out tomorrow, but you fuckers downloaded it already... *we all sheepishly laugh* but go out and buy the album anyways, cuz I need another huge gold nugget the shape of a piece of popcorn, so when I punch someone there can be the imprint of popcorn in their face." he was really funny. after their final song we all herded back to the campsite, wading through piles of waterbottles (you know I bought 4 each day there?) and met some great guys from Canada. We made a camp, (All other nations accepted, except Toronto!) and when I finally crashed, they looked sad :P
In the morning, Shane and I got rides from some of our campmates back to Indio, and we all went out to lunch together at some place..... I can't remember the name
They dropped us off at the BUs station, and we settled in for a long boring wait. not so!!! We met these three guys, Ben, Brandon and Jason They were awesome. Particularly Jason.... Hes so cute. we spent a buncha hours. hes been busy/distant since, but I dont care, we had an awesome afternoon together. One of the highlights of my whole trip :)

We got back into Vancouver at 4:45 in the morning (the borders were hella not as busy then!) then got some coffee, took two busses and a ferry to get back home where my mother met us and took us out for breakfast, then we went home and got some well needed rest.

And thats the end of my California Trip. I may condense all these posts into one evntually. But not now.

Overall, It was awesome. Shane is a great travelling person, and were I able to do it all over again, I would make sure we didnt walk around that field so many times.

Enough is enough

At least I can know I tried. It has been a hundred days, since we last spoke, in a real conversation. And yes, I have counted. I am sorry for trying to fix it. I know that wasn't what you wanted me to do. And I won't do it again. I had to try. Because it breaks me every time I see you and you turn away. I need you to know I have been making changes, and am continuing to do so. I dont know, and don't care if it helps, with us. I dont know if anything ever will. I hope for the best. But this is a long time. and as far as I know it will never get better. I have cared about you since the moment I saw you, and will continue to do so, even though you loathe me.

a hundred days is a very very long time.

Ways of controlling your emotions

How do you guys keep calm? Sometimes I think I should be on serious medication. I almost put my fist through a wall, or cut up some clothing-covered area of my body today, because I haven't learned positive ways of dealing with my emotions. Maybe I should take up running. That would just be another self-pain thing though, because of the arthritis. Its like cutting but with more permanent damage.

haha. sortof.

Any suggestions?

California Part 3 (Gad, I've been back forever, this is just frustrating)

Ok, so Last time we left it at Friday Morning when we just got to the Campsite. After we walked all the way accross the field to our campspot and set up, Shane and I set off to explore. And by the time we got back, all the other campers for our site had gotten there! We had a newly married couple from Tokyo, Some stoner kids from New Mexico and a bunch of guys from Oregon. We never really saw the people from Tokyo, But the other ones we all partied together. Which brings me to my next point. Friday afternoon! We got pretty damn stoned and I went and slept in the shade tent after a cold shower with all my clothes on. I was still too hot to function. After my nap, We chatted awhile and then went to bed. Saturday morning I woke up SOOOO excited. I went and bought a rediculously expensive breafast, Entirely composed of a lemonade, checked my e-mail, won some headphones :D:D:D Then I went to sit over in the lineup for the show. I went to buy some waterbottles because it was already too hot to function. The doors opened at 11:00 and we all walked... or ran into this HUGE! field with 5 big stages. I ran to the one in the far corner and stood at the front of the audience for Head Automatica. They played Beating Hearts Baby, I Shot William H Macy, At the speed of a Yellow bullet, The razor... and some other ones. I got a lot of really good picures.
Next I went to a diferent outdoor stage and saw the end of the Section Quartet. They played Muse - Time is running out, some Tool, Radiohead, other stuff. thay were amazing. Next was The New Amsterdams - Crap. Then The Walkmen played. Boring, I thought. Next the Duke Spirit - I was kinda ambivilent to them. Their bass player had a broken arm though, and I'm sure I have much more respect. The show must Go On, after all :P They were pretty cool, and the girl singer was pretty good. It just wasn't my style. plus it was too hot to think. The COmmon played. he was awesome. One of the best rappers I've heard in a long time. And I liked his politics. He said some stuff about george bush. I approved :P Then we saw Kanye West, and the only thing good about that was "goldigger" haha. Next Sigur Ros played. They were amazing. But not as amazing as I had expected. I had really high expectations, and they simply were not met. Then Franz Ferdinand played and they were amazing. Just awesome. like I have no words. It was amazing. After Franz, I decided to go back to the tent so I would miss the huge rush of crowds, and plus I wasn't so interested in staying for depeche Mode or Daft Punk. BIG MISTAKE. apparently, Daft Punk was most peoples surprise highlight. I am so dissipointed I missed them. The again, I was so tired, and heat-sick, I probably wouldnt have enjoyed it the same way as others did. But I got to sleep EARLY, and felt awesome (well not as shitty as everyone else) when the sun woke us up super early the next morning.

I felt the need to buy a blended Chai the next morning ($6 american!!!!) but its the only thing someone who doesn't have a cooler at Coachella eats, other then the stale bagel Shane bought. anyways, sunday I got smart, I brought out my sarong, got the guy to dip it in ice water, and wrapped around myself :D

K, I need to go, so I'll make a part 4, all about the bands I saw on SUnday, and the way home.

California Part 2

So we left our heros in The Lair (Otherwise known as the San Bernadino Bus station). hah, we got on the bus there at 9:00, and slept right through Palm Springs. Because the bus driver is the stupidest person EVER he figured that because people were sleeping, he would announce the stations really quitly so nobody would wake up. we need to wake up to get off the bus! so shane and I are waking up just as we pull into the Indio Bus station thank gad, and so we drag ourselves off the bus in that awful half-sleeping daze. It was so hot, even at night we were really REALLY warm. We have walked a couple of blocks before we stopped and realize were in a strange city with NO IDEA where we're going or where we're even staying. We looked around for a dennys and only saw scary dark allys and Bail Bond Shops. At least 4 of them, I swear. so we see the first guy like 15 minutes after we get off the bus, and hes all big and mean looking and scary. SO crazy that I am I go up to him and ask "Excuse me, Do you know if theres a Denny's or any other 24 hour place around here?" he just grunted and pointed:S it was scary. but we walked untill we couldnt walk any more and then we saw the GOLDEN DENNYS SIGN!!!!

We went into this restaurant and sat down with all our stuff, order an omlette and start chatting with the waitresses about coachella. shes really friendly and after awhile shes like well, I'm off in 15 minutes, do you guys want a ride to the festival area?and we were totally stoked and said yeah for sure, so she drove us what would have taken at least and hour with all our stuff. she dropped us off where we asked nearest to the lights. so we sat down there for a bit and saw a security guard in a big open, empty field so we asked if we could camp there. Of course, he said no, even when I was like we just have a little tent and we'll set up in the VERRRRY back.... it was still no. but he told us we could walk to the security tent on the other side and they would tell us where to camp. SO we walked. forever. like at least 50 minutes, int he HOT night with 70 pounds of stuff on my back. SO we met this REALLY crazy security guard woman, and she was swearing her little hispanic head off about her boss. And she said that we could stay on the side of the road. so thats what we did. we walked a little bit further up the road, and then set up Camp. there are pistures. In the morning (and I mean morning, like 5:30) SHane woke me up and after he went to ask for directions we headed off, back the way we came. So we walk, It hot by now, and we walk and we walk and this is all familiar, and my feet are slipping in the sand, and ITS HOT did I mention it was hot? and then we have been going for about an hour and Shane says.... "I think we went the wrong way" So I picked a Lemon off the tree, and smelled it at every break we took (One every 15 minutes or so, it was hot ok?!) and we were all the way back to where we spent the night and we faound the same security lady and we told her what happened and she got a little golf cart to come and pick us up and drive us there! (to the entrance of the campground) it was awesome, sitting, while ground moved below me. I'm so not cut out for the Army. I'd die during basic training. Either that or they'd realize I'm opposed to fighting for your country, and kick me out anyways :P

Update post

Okay so whats new...
Last week I went to "Stick it" with Laura. It was awesome, I had such a good time.
I also went for a walk with chris which turned very... high. :P
Then there was a Party at Jordan Tidey's for his going away to Quebec for the summer... it was alright I suppose. I really miss being good with all my friends. Tasha, Gareth, Dan. But Dan was on his way out, and I asked him if we could talk, and he said not right then, but we could. It may or may not be the "Okay I never want to see you again" talk (That one's getting familiar) But all I can do is cross my fingers its not. A couple of times Gareth and I passed each other. once we actually bumped into each other. It sucks. I wish there was something I could do, but honestly I've done all I believe I can. I can't believe what I did was worse then what Martha did (no offence hun) and he and I have been friends wayy longer.

***Its one of the things I wish on stars for***

Saturday, we had a picnic!!! I brought fruit, and there was sandwiches and drinks and sex in a pan, down at the Bowen Park creek thing. It was awesome, we had a really great time.

On monday Alyssa and Chelsea came up to visit me from victoria, it was really nice, we went to Pirate Chips. I went to a Barbecue on Tuesday for Michelle's birthday
Saw Brady on Wednesday Night. jenn ditched me all day thursday, and I watched the OC season Finale (OMG! I cried) that I won't give away so people don't read inadvertantly when they dont want to! Then I read "A Million little pieces" which really was amazing. I was expecting not to like it very much because EVERYBODY said it was so good. But it was. I didnt cry like everybody else said I would though.

Anyways, Work today, then alleahs party. I hope Jenn's OK.

OKAY FINE!!!! The california post :)

So saturday morning (april 22) I wake up at Laura's house what seems like really early! (7:30, oh no!:P) She and her mom are going to vancouver that day too to see some art things and then go to a play, so we go over on the 8:30 boat together. WHen we get to vancouver we all take a bus downtown and then split up to go our separate ways. I get calls from both Llowyn and Evan and make plans to go to granville island to meet Llowyn, and then go to meet Evan at 3:30. SO after navigateing the bus system, i finally make it to granville island, and llowyn's driving a boat! we hang out for awhile, in fragmented ways (because he's working), but then I have to get back to the station where I have to meet evan. after many busses and a long walk (and a scary experience in a gas station/mob outpost bathroom) I finally make it back, and I'm early! so, listening to my music and waiting in the sun was a nice break, and then along comes evan. we watched a movie, and had excellent conversation. I got to see his mom and his dad, but Llowyn didnt come back before I got picked up by shane (avec mom and dad murphy and aunt angela) we had another short sleep before we left in the morning to go and catch our bus!!!

We left Vancouver at 9:00 AM, got held up at the border for like, 2 hours, Im not even exaggerating. and finally I went and asked the bus driver if we could get out and walk around a bit, cuz I was getting antsy! so we waited and waited.... finally we cross the border, where a scary spanish speaking man asked me why I was going there. We got to seattle late and missed all our connections though. everything was late, so by the time we got to LA we had missed our connection to Anaheim! fortunatly there were some girls that we met on the bus that were in the same predicament. we could buy cigarettes down there! they were GROSS, but we could buy them and didnt even have to use fake ID :) we met some other people on the bus. Kyle from seattle, the sacro kids (who left us in sacramento, but not before we all went dumpster diving for doughnuts somewhere in oregon, behind a winchells:P). so when we got to LA (the next night at like 6:00), we took a Taxi (split 5 ways, so not so bad) to our hotel in anaheim (America's Best Value Astoria Inn and Suites) I would definetly go there again, there was a little hot tub and pool and we had a little balcony. and the coffee and danishes in the morning were included, and the transportation to disneyland was a total of like, $6 each. It was really inexpensive too, like $100US each for 3 nights. Monday night when we got there, we walked to IHOP and on the way there, we saw the fireworks from disneyland :)

Tuesday morning we got up kinda late (8:30) because my phone was on silent still, and so we went to disneyland at probably 9:30. We went on all the rides. seriously, we probably only missed like 5-10 rides in disneyland (Not including Pirates of the carribean, which was closed for renovations). My favourites were Space mountain, Splash mountain, The teacups (Mad hatters tea party), Its a small world and Indiana Jones. By the end of the night I had a MASSIVE headache, but we stayed until the end of the night so we could see the fireworks, and then went straight home (to the hotel:P) and into bed. The next morning, we went straight to California Adventure. there were lots of really cool rides there. Favourites include, the river rapids, soarin' over california, california dreamin' (the rollercoaster:D) and the Hollywood tower of terror, which is an elevator that goes up 13 stories, the doors open, you can see out over the whole park, and then drops stright down. we went for a really nice dinner in the park and then went back home (cuz shane was feeling about as crappy on wednesday as I was on tuesday!) we watched the fireworks from our hotel balcony that night :) and I called Martha cuz I was lonely. Disneyland with Shane is cool and all, but we dont always connect on stuff, and spending that long on the bus with anyone can get trying :P I'm sure he feels the same way. Dont get me wrong though, I dont think theres anyone I could have had the same experience down there with! we did have an awesome time together, and Left each other alone, when the time was right lol.

Thursday morning, we packed up all our stuff and walked over to Disneyland with it (we were exhausted, our stuff was SO HEAVY) and put it all in ONE locker!!! we did a sorta highlights reel that day, and went to all our favourite rides from both parks. we knew we had to leave at 4, so we packed as much into the day as possible :) bought our gifts for people that day too... coulnt get many things, but like, for my parents and a couple people. I found myself a shirt that has a skull and crossbones and says "The beatings will continue untill morale improves" :) its excellent. at 4, after one last ride on the river raft, we took a taxi back to the anaheim bus station and took a 2 hour bus ride to san bernadino, where we had two hours to wait. That is the scariest place I have ever been. No joke. The bathrooms had three stalls, on with no dorr, one with no toilet, and one with no toilet paper and goop all down the walls. I was freaked right the fuck out.

Anyways I just got called into work, so I'll finish the rest of this in another post entitled, CALIFORNIA, THE SECOND GENERATION. Or CALIFORNIA: THE JOURNEY CONTINUES, or CALIFORNIA: THE LEGEND LIVES ON. or some such nonsense.

15 truths - stolen from EVERYONE!!!

1. You try too hard to be something that everyone likes. If you just BE yourself then people feel more comfortable, and comfortable people are happy people, and happy people like you!
2. I am SOOO SOOO SOOO happy we're finally working things out. I never meant to hurt you, and selfishness isn't an excuse.
3. We have spent too much time together. I still like you, but I'm hoping we won't see a lot of each other for a little while
4. What you did really sucked. I mean, I don't (and didn't) want a relationship, or even a friendship neccissarily... but it made me feel like a piece of meat... and thats lame.
5. I miss you. I don't know what it is thats pulling us apart, or why we don't talk about it enstead of just having you ditch me all the time, but I'm tired of it. Lets change some stuff.
6. I love you so much. youre always there for me, even when you dont really wanna be there, and youre one of the few people I know whos never blown me off for something stupid. sometimes I wish I could be more honest with you.
7. I'm glad youre home... I really hope you don't believe everything you've heard, because I know its not complimentary. Please believe in me, I need you to.
8. I hate that I won't see you for so long. I hate that I don't know how I feel for you, and I hate that you live so fucking far away... I wish you knew I thought about you at least a hundred times today. Even more then that I hope and wish on stars that you thought about me too.
9. So many times it feels like you've betrayed me, and still I come crawling back to you. That makes me hate myself, and I can't even blame it on you.
10. youre being selfish and stubborn and carrying a valid point too fucking far. all I want is to experience your friendship again. Nothing more, and I swear I will never hurt you again.
11. I'm surprised I dont regret you. youve been one of those steady background friends and I always thought it would bee too weird. Guess not :P
12. youre such a sweetheart to be around. we've shared little snippets of life. I'm glad to have you as a friend
13. You are without a doubt one of the people I aspire to most impress. For better or worse I want to be my best self around you. if that makes me a fake so be it, but I think I should just be around you more... and get into the habit of trying to make you happy.
14. I dont know what happened... I really don't. I never did anything to you. you dissipeared, and obviously dont want to talk to me... and I just wish I knew why.
15. you are majorly talented, and outwardly you have a huge ego.... thank you for letting me see past that to the real you.
