[X] Finish pics
[X] Take bubble bath
[ ] Go to sleep.

So tonight I did some stuff. Stuff that I will post about tomorrow/later today, whatever. I PROMISE. I already resized and upped all of the pictures and videos for it. Just have to type it up. I've been very neglectful lately of my poor LJ friends. Sorry guys.

In other news, life has been pretty damn interesting lately. To say the least, the VERY least, quite the whirlwind actually. In that whirlwind a plethora of crappy things have happened, One of which, being the fact that I can't sleep. Pretty much ever, I can drink a half a bottle of Nyquil and just lay there staring at the wall driving myself bat shit. I've always had problems with sleeping and definitely have always had completely bogus sleeping patterns but I could at least fall asleep if I made myself, but now, not so much, I literally have to exhaust myself so much so that I physically can't stay awake anymore. Second of which is the fact that I can't fucking eat, I very rarely get hungry and when I finally do get hungry, if I don't eat something almost immediately, the hunger goes away, so I forget about it and just go without eating for a whole day and then the next day probably wouldn't be any better. And when I DO eat, I can take about 3 bites of something, NO MATTER HOW AMAZING IT TASTES, before I'm uncomfortably full. You could see how this would anger a fat girl.

More later. I'm going to go lay down.

Today, I turned my sister into an alien.

She was requested to model for a promo poster for a club called "TorTure" in Ireland, they wanted something exciting... This is what they are going to get. Now for the actual shoot.

More later.

You've got red on you.

So, I gave up on cooking, and I'm going to order pizza and hot wings for everyone. We have about 30 or 40 people coming so I figure that's easier than trying to make something EVERYONE likes, because EVERYONE likes pizza, and I don't care, I put to much into shit like this so, I've decided to take it calmly. I'm still not pack but the first wave of arrive-eee's get here in about 20 minutes we are still putting the finishing touches on the house. But, I'm okay with that. The only thing that is bothering me is that I haven't gotten enough sleep, Oh, well, I'll sleep next week I suppose.

Have fun kiddos. I'll try to make another post before I leave but if I don't, I will officially see you AFTER

The 10th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos!!!!

So people start getting here today for the gathering, most of them come in tomorrow though. I don't actually know if I updated about this before but we have people coming in from basically all over the world mainly the united states but we have a few head flappers (aka Canadians) in attendance as well, nine of them to be exact. I'm planning a big party with food, entertainment, and swimming. I thought it would be a lot more simple, but with everyone coming in at different times and us getting them taxied from the airport to my house and with all my own personal preparations for the gathering it has become quite stressful, I cleaned my house top to bottom, there a still a few things left to do though with it, but I'm sitting here drawing a blank on what to make for food, I haven't gone shopping yet and I'm just BLANK. I don't do parties that often but I DO do them, and I don't think I've ever had this big of a brain fart when it comes to one before. I'm still not packed nor have I even started to think about what I'm going to pack, ugh. I need to get going, seriously.

I'm dying it tomorrow so it won't be like this long but I thought it deserved a showing.

Also a huge THANK YOU!!! to Mandee and Maggie for sitting through and performing the bleaching process for over 3 hours.

I just got some "maybe" very good news for the gathering!!! I'm really excited everyone wish me luck!! Keep your fingers crossed!! I don't want to say what it is because I don't want to jinx it but I promise whichever way it goes I will let you know what it is/was Monday night!!

BTW - I just bought a car pass. Which will no matter what make things a lot easier.

Good morning LJ!! I'd like you to meet Cliff.

I'm so disrespectful...I can't believe how blind I've been, I just wanted to formally apologize to all of you whom I have forced to look at me. I am sincerely regretful of my behavior and have turned a new leaf because of sir Cliff here. I am going to proceed to JC Penny's to purchase my new, more appropriate attire. By "my friend" I'm going to assume he is speaking of Mandee, and until she reforms her ways I suppose I will not be in contact with her either.

God Damn it. Lolz.

This post is brought to you by

If you don't want to hear me bitching, just don't read it. And if you don't want any spoilers, definitively don't read this.

We (Mandee, Atom, Ryan and I) went to the midnight showing of Half Blood Prince last night and all I can say is, I know for a fact that I bitch or have bitched about every Harry Potter movie so far and I'm sure I will with the next ones as well, BUT this one pissed me off more than any other yet. It seems that they are leaving more and more out of every movie, this one they left so many things out, and if you are a person that hasn't read the books, like Ryan, you have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on at the end of the movie, we left the movie and granted I laughed my ass off through the whole thing and I can appreciate how good it looked, it just didn't tell anyone what the point was, but Ryan had a million question like he has every time we go see one, but they left out really really main points of the book and added shit that didn't need to be there.

HERE'S WHERE THE SPOILING BEGINS, TURN BACK NOW.

My beefs...

- Where the fuck was Fenrir Greyback? Yes I'm fully aware that he made a few small irrelevant appearances but what was the point of even showing him if you weren't going to explain how important he really is and how terrifying he was supposed to be.

- The cabinet wasn't supposed to work until the very end, they never once showed Malfoy trying to fix it, or the struggles he was having in doing so. The cabinet just well, worked. Although yes it did kill one of the birds but if you haven't read the book, once again like Ryan, he was left asking "So, who killed the bird and bit the apple??" and didn't understand what the point of it was at all. Even AFTER the death eaters showed up at Hogwarts through it.

- For 6 movies now we were lead to believe that Harry was a brave, courageous, albeit rebellious teen that would NEVER no matter what, let anything bad happen to anyone that he cared for, above all DUMBLEDORE which is why in the fucking book, at the end when Snape kills Dumbledore, he paralyzes him and makes him invisible so the death eaters can't get to him and he can't move to try and stop it, but we are made to believe in this movie that Harry merely sat there and obeyed when he was told not to interfere as Dumbledore was murdered. Never would have happened. Period.

- They didn't explain how Dumbledore knew where the locket Horcrux was, other than the fact that they very very briefly showed a PICTURE of the cave in the memory of him going to visit Tom Riddle for the first time. They can't expect people to follow this shit. They didn't show why he put it there and why there was a significance of the cave to him. So that leaves you not understanding what type of things they should be looking for in finding these fucking horcruxes.

- They didn't explain the blackened hand of Dumbledore at all. Was everyone just supposed to ignore it? Because if that's the case then they shouldn't have even added it at all. If they would have taken 5 fucking minutes to explain it, all the next part would not have had to be here.

- Other than explaining what Horcruxes were (sort of), and that the diary from the Chamber of Secrets was one of them, they didn't say anything else about them really, they never mentioned the Gaunt family or where the ring came from, they just showed Tom Riddle fiddling with it, and later showed Dumbledore shoving it in his drawer. Really? Just nothing? How do you expect to have a coherent movie under these conditions? They didn't explain why those specific items where made into Horcruxes, it's just really really stupid. And setting up for the next movie, Nagini isn't going to make sense to people as a horcrux because yes, she has made appearances in the movies, but she's not as big of a piece as she should be so you don't really see the connection but then they are just going to throw the shit at people like hey, we didn't work up to this but fuck it, BAM!! They didn't show the fucking locket in the last one because well, that one was hella fucked up too, but they didn't show them cleaning out the Black house, so the locket had never made an appearance and Kreacher was never seen taking it, so basically they are just going to what now? Figure it out?

- Felix Felicis is fucking GOLD, not CLEAR. It's just a small point but it's something that they could have done and it wouldn't have added any extra time to the movie but it would have been more enjoyable because of the fact that it was what it was supposed to be.

- Another small point but they didn't really show how terrible Ron was at quidditch so it didn't make sense for Harry to give him the potion. Yeah he was nervous and a bit sloppy but not bad enough for Harry to waste the potion on, and of course he really didn't, but it still didn't make any sense. WEASLEY IS OUR FUCKING KING!!! HELLO??

- The ending was soooo unceremonious. Other than the fact that they came in and killed Dumbledore and burned Hagrid's house down, they really didn't do anything, they just came and left. WHAT?? The ending could have been absolutely amazing and they just didn't put any of it in.

It seems that every single movie they have made has literally removed my favorite parts of each book, and if it's my favorite parts I'm sure there are many fans out there that feel the same way. They're are many more things that bothered me a lot, but I'm kind of just over it, I don't feel like complaining anymore. I'll watch it again and appreciate the fact that the movie exists like I feel about the other ones, but fucking ARGH man, what are they fucking getting at? I thought for a long time that they weren't making the movies for fans but making them for people that just happen to go see the movies but this one really went against that, who the hell DID they make this movie for?

Okay, I complain about Myspace, A LOT. It seems like an endless array of stupidity and a multitude of idiots trying to put on a show. I get more and more messages every day from the weirdest people on the planet saying the strangest things to me, it gets really annoying, I've seen so much drama come from it, and my, what people call, "internet fame", which I DON'T actually have. I'm sort of known in a small circle, that mainly come in the form of juggalos. The majority of my drama tends to come from them as well. Anyway, I pretty much hate myspace and the only reason that I keep it is because SOMETIMES I get jobs out of it. Although occasionally, and this is very rare, I get something out of it that literally makes my day, and today was that day.

I plan on messaging Ms. Emily back but I'm actually speechless at the moment. Things like this are amazing to me, I'm just a normal person, and to be told that you have actually made an impact on someone that you've never met is a great feeling, one I've never gotten anywhere else really. And I didn't want to give away her information so I cut everything off, but just to give you a little insight on this girl, she's actually very beautiful and you would look at her and think that she could easily be her own, lets say "inspiration" she doesn't actually need me, but for her to reach out to me in this way really brings me a great amount of joy. So all I can say really is thank you, thank you very very much.

Now there isn't really a point in this next part but I'm going to continue ranting about how stupid Myspace is, lol. The majority of messages that I get are along these lines...

WTF? Why would you ever messages someone something like that? It just blows my mind. That is just a recent weird message and I didn't feel like going through anymore to show other stupid ones but it's a constant flow basically.

You know what else is starting to really, really bother me? The fact of the INSANE amount of people that have added me over time that all of a sudden are selling leg warmers and dread falls. Especially the ones asking me to promote for them. Are you kidding me? I'm sorry to break it to you but I will NEVER EVER, EVER promote for anyone in that industry beside my best friend. It doesn't make sense to me, especially when most of these people know Mandee and know damn well that she sells dread falls and then they actually have the audacity to invite me to "model" or beg me to promote for them or join their sites or whatever. It's never going to happen people, STOP ASKING. For one, I've said this before and I suppose I will just have to keep saying it, I'M NOT MANDEE, do you EVER see me wearing dread falls or leg warmers??? NO, I've worn dread falls ONE TIME in my whole life and it was years ago and Mandee talked me into it. Oh wait, I lied, I've worn them twice but I've still only wore leg warmers once and that same time I wore dread falls because I was dressed up as Mandee for Halloween a few years ago as a joke. But either way, I will not wear them, it's not my style, it's Mandee's style, it doesn't appeal to me on anyone but her. Especially on me, I'm not about to jack her style like so many others.

This is a mish mash of weird ranting/loving and I don't even know where I was going with it but ugh, sometimes you just have to spill your brain out.

I'm so fucking sick of other people inconveniencing my god damn life, I'm beginning to HATE some of my friends and dislike most of the rest of them, I go out of my way to help people all the fucking time, and people can attest to that. I seriously am the person that EVERY SINGLE ONE of my friends goes to when they need help, and in the case of a good majority of my friends that is THE ONLY time I hear from them, yeah, when they need something. If you are going to bail on me because your girl friend told you to, I don't give a fuck, don't try to pretend like you don't know why I won't talk to you anymore. If you only call me when you are depressed because your girlfriend is fucking someone else, don't pretend that you don't understand why I don't get excited when you come around. If you come to me and ask me to help you out in a fucked up situation and I let you LIVE in my house, don't pretend 4 months later that it's a sin for me to ask you to help out with bills. When you've been a roommate of mine for a year and a friend of mine for years and years, and I ask you to stop TRASHING my fucking house and you get pissed AT ME, and throw a little fucking childish fit, that is NOT okay with me.

Okay I'm going to rant big so if you don't want to listen turn back now.

Okay, my roommate Nolan has been a friend of mine for a long time, and although we weren't really close until about 5 years ago, I considered him one of my closest friends. Well we ended up getting our house and he lives in our basement which is finished so there is carpet and real walls and what not so it's not like he is just living in a crummy basement. Anyway, he moved in last September and brought his cat with him, you might remember Isis from previous posts, so not a second after he moved in his cat started pissing and shitting all over my house, well after many times of me asking nicely if he would kindly try and remedy the situation, I had to FORCE him to get her fixed, because I know that with many cats if they aren't fixed by a certain age they start "marking their territory" so months and months later he finally got her fixed. Well it never stopped, and then after me complaining more and more I finally had a full on conversation about his part in this living situation and not only did he never do anything about the cat but he has full on DESTROYED my basement carpet along with his cat and just doesn't give a shit. He cooks all the time and has done dishes maybe a total of 5 times in a fucking year and NEVER picks up after himself, has never cleaned a litter box, never takes out trash, never does anything basically. So in the conversation we had I told him that he needed to get rid of Isis because she had caused irreversible damage to my house, and told him that we weren't his parents and he needed to clean up after himself because we had been doing it for an entire year and we are sick of it. In that conversation he basically argued with me telling me that he in fact DID clean up after himself and that he didn't know that Isis was still pissing and shitting in my house, so basically I had to call him out on lies many times in the conversation because I'm sorry but when your cat is pissing on my carpet/walls/bathroom right fucking in front of you, you CAN NOT tell me you didn't know. Well long story short basically 4 days later the cat was still in my house and still shitting everywhere and he was at work so I texted him "I don't think you understand how serious I am about Isis, being gone, I've asked you nicely and you choose to ignore it, so if you don't do something with her you can go as well and if you are wondering why there are 2 full industrial sized trash bags at the bottom of the stairs, those are all of my clothes that where in the laundry room that she has completely ruined by repeatedly pissing on them, BTW she shit in my fucking bathtub again so you can go ahead and clean that up when you get home KTHX" So he comes home about 3 hours later without ever responding to me and storms in the house and runs downstairs, obviously pissed off, so then moments later he comes back upstairs and says very, very rudely "Isis is going to my sister's on Tuesday, and I'm moving out!!" so to that I reply, "Umm, Okay" and then he starts to storm BACK downstairs, but says "BECAUSE..." and just kept walking, So I don't really like shit like that, don't start a sentence with that much emphasis directed AT me and just not finish. So I followed him downstairs and said "BECAUSE....Why?" so basically he tells me that I'm a mega bitch (not in those words exactly but might have well been) for telling him that he had to get rid of his cat and that he couldn't believe the audacity I had to tell him he needed to leave if he didn't get rid of her. We fought for a while but it doesn't seem to go anywhere with him, everything is everyone else's fault and I'm just so mean and what not.

Well, I don't believe I'm mean, I don't think that I should ever have to come home when 2 other people besides Ryan and I, one that pays rent and one that doesn't, at all, and have to come home and immediately clean a completely and I do mean completely DESTROYED house, the trash was piled up to the ceiling and overflowing onto my floors, there was trash all over my living room and on my couches the sink was filled completely with dishes as was the stove and counters, the house smelled like cat ass and dirty old meat, seriously when we walked in the house after our 2 week vacation the stench seriously PUNCHED me in the face, and when they were asked why it was like that BOTH of them pretended not to notice and not to smell it. Neither of which helped clean it either. And when Ryan went downstairs to clean the horribly over nastied litter boxes he noticed that cat shit was just LITTERED all over our laundry room floor, which is IN THE BASEMENT, where Nolan lives. And he just "never noticed". Right. Anyway, when taking out the trash, we noticed that in our carport and scattered throughout the yard were TONS of "shotgunned" beer cans just thrown about. Remanence of a party that Nolan tried very adimately to pretend never happened.

So basically I've been on bad terms with him for a while now, and he told us a couple of weeks ago that he was moving out, but agreed to be better and clean up after himself while he was still here and still to this day has not. Well yesterday he came up to me and asked me if he could have a bbq with his friends, well I was already pissed off because no one plans a bbq/party the day of at 5pm when people would be arriving at around 7 so, he had in fact already invited people here and asked me basically MOMENTS before they would be arriving if I minded. Well, I got into another argument with him and told him that if he was having people over he HAD to clean up after it because I'm sick of doing it every single time he has people over, and he basically threw a fit and tried to tell me that he HAD been cleaning up after himself, and he was saying this as there was a sink full of dishes from his spaghetti dinner from 2 nights before all over my kitchen and MY stale bread sitting on the counter that he had left open the night before after using half of the loaf for garlic bread. But there is NO telling him that he is lying because he turns into a 5 year old being chastised by his mother. But anyway so he said he would clean up after the party right? Well I wake up this morning and take out the trash and what do I find in my carport/yard, beer cans, cigarette packs, trash, my fucking ziploc containers with nasty meat juice, JUST LAYING IN MY FUCKING YARD.

THIS IS NOT MY FUCKING JOB, I AM NOT YOUR FUCKING MOTHER AND I AM NOT A MAID, IF YOU WANT MAID SERVICE YOU WILL FUCKING PAY FOR IT.

Now when he leaves not only do I have to replace all the carpeting/flooring in my basement, I have to re-grout my bathroom floor, replace one of the bathroom walls, and get a new bathtub fixture, because the ammonia concentration in cat piss has completely RUSTED my bathtub fixtures.

I am just so fucking pissed off. I can't even see straight, I have my own REAL LIFE issues to deal with, I don't need two fucking children to care for on top of that. I would think that they being my friends would respect me and my home but alas neither one of them do. If you don't want to respect me/appreciate the things I do for you, then GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FUCKING HOUSE!!!

There is even more to the story than this but these are the main parts, and I basically just wanted to get this out so I'm not really asking for advise, but yeah, I just wanted to rant. Thanks for listening.

UPDATE

Porter showed back up at about 4am last night, I couldn't sleep at all so I just kept going out every hour or so and yelling for her, at a little after 4 I went out and yelled and she didn't come but I left the back door open whilst I was getting myself a glass of kool-aid and heard a meow from the back porch, looked out and sure enough it was my bitch cat. Ran out picked her up and squeezed her and kissed her head a thousand times, feed her, gave her water and then took her into the bedroom laid down and finally was able to get some sleep.

Thank you all so much for you words of encouragement, they helped a lot!!

My cat is missing.

This is actually the second time this has happened, the first time while I was on vacation she was gone for over 24 hours and finally came back, so I'm trying to keep an open mind. But she's a fairly prissy cat and the thought of her being outside all alone at night when she normally sleeps in bed with me nightly, worries me greatly. I can't stop thinking about what she could possibly be doing and all I can think of are terrible, bad things, like how scared she must be, or how hungry or thirsty she is, or that some horrible person might have taken her.

The first time this happened it was because my roommate let her out and this time was the same thing, the strange thing is, is that I normally let her out every day and there has never been a problem but for some reason when he lets her out she stays gone forever, but the worst part about it is he is still completely denying the fact that it was him, he lied the first time and he's doing it again, I mean seriously if you told me you let her out this morning at least I would know that you SAW HER this morning. I woke up at around 10am and she was already gone, hasn't been back all day and here I sit at midnight after driving all around my neighborhood screaming her name like an insane mother, crying my eyes out thinking of everything but positive things.

I'm going to go out one more time and scream my head off, hope she comes back, and then go try and sleep.

"If Hell Had Water" - Part 2

2009-06-16T18:09:58Z

When you last saw us we had just eaten a big meal at a all you can eat mexican buffet right? Well I suppose that's where we will start off.

May 24th 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyle was ready to go, and in good spirits I see.

We were a little more apprehensive.

Okay, Okay, Ryan wasn't really upset, He just wanted to taze Nick.

Nick wasn't having it.

Okay, so we dropped Nick off at the airport had my terrible run in with the rental car place and then headed for the restaurant.

In the window at the buffet. Lolz.

Our food. It filled up more than one table. WTF

Then we were on our way.

RUBEN!!

Ryan was out of control.

I had made these really really awesome mix CD's that I was really excited to listen to on the drives from Arizona to Vegas to LA and back, well we got going on the highway and I put one in, yeah, they didn't work. I accidentally forgot to convert the MP3 files for them to work in a regular stereo. And remember how I said that Adrianna's car was older and a little less reliable, yeah she didn't have an antenna for her car so the radio didn't work either, lots of talking ensued.

We made a pit stop at the Hoover Dam. No, he's not peeing.

At night it's a little less impressive and I only go one pic of it but Mandee's came out pretty good, mine just kind of looks like dots of lights below me.

We hung out for about 20 minutes and then headed on our way again.

Vegas - By the time we got to Vegas it was already night time and I was in a pretty terrible mood but I still wanted to go to the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign, so we made a pit stop before we found our hotel and retired for the night. We ended up staying at a Motel 6 right off of the strip but we got a really good deal on it because it wasn't actually on the strip but technically it was. The next morning we got up and ate breakfast and wandered the strip, I was still in a horrible mood and everything seemed very disjointed and Mandee was in a bad mood because of her car, but she was in fact doing a very very good job coping with the problem and she still is. It was just a crappy situation that had basically just happened so it was kind of looming in the background casting an ominous shadow on the fun time we should have been having. On top of all that we all have different levels of sickness, I'm stuck with a lingering cold, Ryan was still full on sick when we left for the vacation and Mandee was starting to get over her cold and Kyle was just starting to get sick, well I suppose because of lack of sleep and crappy food and being in the cold ass river and stress we all started getting resick, Mandee worse of all, I think she has a sinus infection now. The fact that I woke up with a huge stye on my left eye wasn't making me any happier either, Which just adds to the crappiness.

May 24th 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It makes me pretty happy that St Louis is represented in Las Vegas even when we aren't there!!

Lol, yeah, it's what you're thinking.

Our hotel room.

My bed.

A bit closer. Lolz

Nighty Night.

We spent the day in Vegas walking around, seeing the sites. We walked up and down the strip basically all day and evening. We attempted to go and see as many of the casino shows as we could but hey there are a lot of them so we ended up seeing the Volcano at the Mirage, the Sirens of TI, the Bellagio Dancing Fountain, we went on The Roller Coaster at New York New York hotel, and went to Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. It was a pretty damn good run for only being there for one day. Being there made me miss living there, it's so crazy, everything about the city is HUGE and BRIGHT and as Mandee put it, excessive. Every single thing about Las Vegas is excessive, but it's hard to find a more exciting and beautiful place to be. After our excursion we went to a place that had $7 steak and shrimp dinners and $9 all you can eat prime rib, Adrianna and I got the steak and shrimp and when we finished we waited for another hour or so for Ryan to finish his 3rd prime rib, yeah, he's kind of crazy. Then we stayed the night again in our little crappy hotel room and got up the next day we got up, went to a store I like called Cash for Chaos, got rushed out, and left headed for LA.

Remember that stye that I mentioned...Here begins my not being able to wear makeup or contacts for the rest of the vacation. :(

You can kind of even see it in this pic.

I was driving the whole time but in Adrianna's car, I pulled down the visor because it was insanely sunny and this is what I found... A pic of Ryan from when he was about 15 or 16 tacked to the inside of the visor. Awww.

BOOBS!!! on the way to the Shark Reef.

Inside.

Buddha Man

FLASHBACK!! 3 years ago.

Giant puffer fish, okay so I know the pic doesn't look like he's very big but I promise he was bigger than my head.

Lion fish, I think they are one of the coolest of the common fish.

Somehow I pissed them off when I was taking pics and they all turned and puffed out at me.

Sting ray.
Me: "Hey Ryan, are you going to touch it?"
Ryan: "NO"
Me: "Why?"
Ryan: "If I was a sting ray, I wouldn't want people poking me."

Jelly fish, Ryan's favorite.

LOLZ FISH HAT!!

I wanted to buy it really bad, but I just couldn't justify paying $30 for it.

Potty break.

When you first walk into Shark Reef they make you take a picture and when you get to the end they super impose you into a Sharky backdrop then they proceed to try and get you to buy it. Well I cheated.

See what I mean about beautiful?

New York New York, and it's roller coaster.

T.I. or Treasure Island. While we were watching the show.

Obviously Kyle was unimpressed.

Holy $1 Strawberry Daiquiri tongue.

Walking.

For those of you that like that wind blown look...I got you covered.

Walgreens on Las Vegas Blvd. It's has multiple levels and escalators. WTF?

Mandee likes to give Kyle evil looks, I have quite a few documented. I promise though, she actually likes him.

Venetian. We didn't go on a gondola ride :(

Mirage Volcano erupting, from across the street.

Huge Sephora and Madam Tussaud's Wax museum that I didn't get to go to. :(

Harrah's

We stopped and all got gigantic strawberry margaritas, they were quite good but didn't really do their job. On me anyway.

Ryan stopped to go through his, as Mandee put it, "Lady Of The Night" trading cards.

The Flamingo

I guess he found one, and she's only $25!!

Oh Ryan, I love your hat!!

Still going.

Then we decided to make a stop by the place Ryan and I got married and go on the Big Shot at the Stratosphere so we all went back to the car and then headed for the other end of the strip. Once we got to the stratosphere they had all the rides shut down because it had been too windy through the day and most of the evening so we didn't get to rid on them but the place we got married was a little ways down the street so we hoofed it.

Random mini billboard on the sidewalk.

Do/Don't smoke shark cigarettes?

IDK.

OG's strip club, classiest in town I assure you. lol

Downtown Vegas sign, this means that you are officially entering the ghetto of Vegas.

Kyle and Mandee take a break and complain of the long walk in a carriage, I can only assume they wanted horses to appear to take them the rest of the way. lol.

Finally made it!!

The coolest part about this was that the actually guy that married us was there when we went and came out, Ryan was insanely excited to tell him that we were still married. He even took a pic with us.

FLASHBACK!!! 3 years ago.

Lol, they had "specials" posted outside.

Kyle, probably bitching about something, lol at the fact that he's carrying my purse, he is very helpful and carried it quite a bit through out the trip.

Then him and Adrianna decided to get married. So they had to pick out the special they wanted, Kyle said fuck it, lets go for the expensive one.

Aww the happy couple.

The only thing I regret about getting married the way we did is the fact that Mandee wasn't there, but I'm glad that she was with me this time.

Across the street.

Lmao. What?

One of the weirdest things I think I have ever stumbled upon.

Terrifying.

Starting to get tired now.

HAHAHAHA.

I am only posting this picture for the fact that every time I've showed it to someone they have yawned, I'm looking to cause an epidemic.

We stopped at this terrifyingly crusty taco place, we decided NOT to brave it.

Adrianna and Kyle decided that it didn't look to bad so they went in and ate while we played at an abandoned pool at a NOT abandoned, but close to it, hotel across the street.

We headed back to our hotel because we were pretty tired and done for the day but we were still hungry so we headed out again on foot to go to a 24 hour food court a little past MGM.

WTF?

Huge PSP for the win.

I didn't get any pics from the food court but I ended up not eating there either because all they had open was Del Taco which made me want to kill myself at that moment or subway and they didn't have $5 footlongs which usually wouldn't bother me but I couldn't justify spending $9 on a 6" sandwich.

On the way back.

Excalibur.

Hooker magazines, they have these little clusters of newspaper dispensers all over the place and ever single one is for escort services.

The view across the street from our hotel.

Our modest little Motel 6 sign.

Nighty Night.

When PMS and stress take full control of my brain.

[Whatever, I suppose I'll live]

"If Hell Had Water" - Part 1

2009-06-09T21:08:19Z

[This post was actually started while I was still in LA on this vacation from hell. But just to save me trouble I'm going to leave it unchanged.]

[I also want to add that some of the pictures in here have been taken from Mandee's post, and I only put in the ones that I saw as detrimental the the outcome of the post because of the sheer size of this post to begin with. Thanks Mand.]

[I suggest that you not have any programs running when you open any of these links for the mass will take your computer out. Sorry. I really should have split the posts up by day but that would take entirely too long. I also suggest that you click the link and walk away for a while, maybe make a slow cooked meal.]

So the vacation is almost over, so much has happened. There have been many ups and even more downs, but the fact of the matter is that this is in fact a VACATION and I'm trying really hard to enjoy it. But as of right now it seems like I've spent $1400 to have some cool pictures. I suppose when you go on a vacation with more than just you and your significant other it can be quite tedious, trying to make sure everyone is happy and what not. But for some reason this time it seems like my stress level is completely out of hand. I have been freaking out pretty much the whole time. I suppose I will start from the beginning.

Arizona - we arrived and immediately we were greeted by our friends one of them being AFChris, which we weren't expecting to be there at all but it was definitely a fantastic surprise seeing him, when he came running through the door of Adrianna's condo, I screamed with excitement as he almost tackled Ryan to the ground, breaking a water balloon on the ground half in the house half out, that I can only assume was meant for Ryan's body. So we basically hung out with our friends the first night, we ended up going to this weirdo little bar in Mesa called Uncle Monkey's and most of us got inebriated and Adrianna got kicked out for stealing cups and shot glasses for her new house so we retired and went back to her place, drew all over and tortured our friend Nick while he was trying to pass out.

May 20th 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My journey begins with our first meal of the vacation, Burger King breakfast at 5:30 in the morning at the St. Louis Airport.

Not our plane but a plane just the same, waiting in the smoking area for our plane to start boarding.

Our planes wing, and the edge of the world.

Ryan rocks out on planes, he gives no fucks.

Kyle does Kyle things, like reading about corals.

The boys decided that my tray was to be used to hold all discarded items. :(

What was Ryan rocking out to you wonder?

My reading materials. In case we have to deal with a water landing, while flying across the desert.

Bored. I don't really have a problem with flying but there always comes a point on the journey that I'm bored as hell.

Almost there!!

Just landed, Ryan calling Adrianna to come and get us.

IS THAT AFCHRIS???

OMG IT IS!!

They were left completely unsupervised the night before we got there, this is what they look like when they woke up. LOLZ

I like how in this pic, Nick looks as big as they do.

DAVE!! and Zach, Zach made us steaks the first day we were there, it was pretty awesome.

*CUDDLES*

Hanging out in the garage, we did this quite a bit.

Mandee is kind of insane.

Dave took a nap, they gave him a black phallus like item to play with.

We all wanted to go swimming so, we did. Insert PT in a Pool.

The Arizona sun is terrible for pale skinned people. True story.

A little chicken anyone?

We got a taker.

And just to defend Ryan, I had been standing with him on my shoulders for at least 5 minutes before Nick got up to challenge us. So of course we were much easier to knock over. :(

We went back to the condo to get ready to go out. Chris was stylin.

Adrianna's style is out of control, much like the rest of her.

I never really get full body shots because I'm the one with the camera but lolz at this one.

<3

Mandee climbing the mountain that is Chris.

Adrianna, for those of you that don't know she is Ryan's sister aka my sister in law.

That fucking lizard. It made lots of appearances over the weekend.

Me and my gorg face bff!! <3

Lmao, DAVE, he was just as great as I had anticipated.

My little Nicky, we went out of our way the whole weekend to get him in trouble/torture him. He takes it like a champ.

On the way to Uncle Monkey's, Yeah A's quite the gangster.

Nick made a mess of the beer.

He was forced to take drastic measures.

BEERZ!!

PT in a bar.

Fucking Lush.

Ryan even drank, which is a very rare site, although in pictures you wouldn't think so because every time other people are drinking I always get pics of Ryan holding empty beer bottles or holding peoples drinks for them, but usually he never partakes, but this time, HE DID!

Chris is seriously the happiest, or as I like to call him the JOLLIEST mother fucker on the planet.

Shitfaced siblings. Out of control.

Oh, yeah Chris is quite gangster as well.

So the drunkies decided to do a little karaoke.

I'm warning you, it is unadvisable for you to watch these videos. They are completely and 100% terrible.

Wow.

Below this line begins the "Torture of Nick"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A lot more things were done to him but for some reason (I think because I joined in) I didn't take anymore pics of it, but Mandee got a bunch.

/end torture...for now

</font>

Got up the next day basically hung out and later that night went to see Tech N9ne at a venue in Mesa. He had an amazing fan base there, the place was extremely packed and I bought some Tech N9ne sweat pants that will not fit me. EVER. Tech N9ne put on a great show as usual, he is seriously one of the best performers out there. He always seems to give 100% and I firmly believe that he should be much much more famous than he is, and when he gets what he deserves I will be very proud to say that I am a fan from "back in the day" which I can already say because I would put money on it that Mandee, Ryan and I have seen Tech N9ne live more than any other people on the planet, we've been going to his shows for a while now and we actual travel to see a local underground rapper. He's kind of FANTASTIC.

May 21st 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adrianna's fat ass cat. Pics don't quite do her justice, she's really excessively fat.

I walked on the scene to find Ryan chilling in the garage with lipstick on his face.

I was about to get mad but I looked over and found the culprit.

Adrianna's bong was broken so I asked Dave the go to guy to make us one out of tin foil.

Kyle, back in the dreads again.

Yeah, the tin foil bong idea? Didn't work.

This does though, Kyle demonstrates.

Almost ready for Tech.

CHICAGO RYAN!! I dub him "The Gentleman Juggalo" because that is exactly what he is, he is seriously one of the nicest people you will ever meet, oh and he will be at the gathering so if you happen to spot him run up and say hi!! -sorry ryan, I had to-

The first appearance of Triplesix!!

Goons in full affect.

Adrianna takes pole dancing classes and was always talking about how awesome she was, so we asked for a demonstration. This is what we got.

lolz.

Cutest kid ever at the Tech show, I seriously hate kids but this one was too adorable to just pass up.

Chris with his dopleganger that hated him.

Mandee racial profiling. Lolz inside joke.

LUVZ!!

ZOE!! She was definitely the shit, and I look forward to hanging out with her in a couple months at the GOTJ!

Yeah, out of control.

Jolly right!?

They all decided to boob rape A's friend Dani.

We ended the night at this little 24 hour taco place called Filiberto's, it was quite fantastic, we made 3 more stops here before we returned home.

Anticipating my enchiladas.

Back at the house.

Definitely bashing her flaps.

My Tech N9ne pants that are definitely way to small.

Ringmaster Monkey 836.

The next day was Lotus, but first we got tricked into going on a float trip down the Salt River in Phoenix. We were told that it was going to be about 3 hours maybe 4 tops and that it was ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS TO DO....EVER!! So after waking up way to early, having a anxiety attack, we reluctantly got ready and headed for the river. Got there, and there were about 14 of us in the group and we all rented inner tubes and got on a bus that was meant to drop us off at our starting point to let us float to another point for him to come back and get us, before leaving the bus we were warned about 12 times by signs and the driver that the last bus to pick up floaters was leaving at 6:30 pm. Well at the time it was around 12 noon so this wasn't a big deal to us. Well all that changed. It was fairly warm outside but not hot by any means, even though we were in the desert, but I was happy about that and I was also happy with the fact that it was not sunny. AT ALL. It was actually really really cloudy, but I wasn't going to complain because I tend to crisp in the suns rays so I prefer the shade and or night. Well because of the fact that it wasn't sunny the water was really fucking cold. Well after being in for a few minutes we all adapted and it wasn't quite as cold. We floated for a while and time just seemed like it was standing still but we were still just floating away, it got to a point that I was freezing, I mean literally. My hands were blue and I couldn't stop shaking and we were actually becoming scared that we missed the "exit", but finally we came to the end and found out that it was already after 6 o'clock. We had spent 6 HOURS on the freezing river. UGH.

Anyway, we all trekked back to Adrianna's to get ready for Lotus. At the venue for some reason they were being insanely hard on everyone but they weren't really messing with us so I was basically just ignoring them other than the fact that they weren't allowing cameras so I had to "crotch" mine, which consists of me putting my camera in my underware and walking like tard through security. But whatever, I got it in, and all was good. UNTIL, they decided to kick my friend Kyle out. They kicked him out right before Dark Lotus, and I couldn't let him stand out there all alone so I went and told Ryan what had happened and that I was going to go sit with him since I had seen Lotus a million times and he offered to come with me but I didn't want to ruin his time so I said no and he went back into the show and I went outside. So even though it was my choice it pretty much sucks that I missed the show, Mandee and I actually talked security into letting us back in for the very last Lotus song and we literally ran from teh front door to the pit area and thoroughly rocked out for it. Which almost made up for missing the rest of the show. Well after the show we decided to go get some food but Mandee had to park a million miles away in a parking garage because there was no parking in the area of the venue so she left us there on the curb and Zoelette and her friends gave her a ride to her car and while we were waiting maybe about 7 minutes later I get a phone call from Zoe saying that Mandee had just wrecked her car. Well, I immediately started freaking out. My first thought was WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE?? Which I believe I actually said, and she wasn't driving so she had thought they were in a different area then they were so she told me to make a right out of the venue and cross the bridge. The bridge was about a mile long and I was on foot so I took off my shoes and ran. Yeah, a shoeless fat girl, holding up her pants running full speed across a bridge in the middle of Arizona. Well I got to the other side of the bridge and didn't see any sign of Mandee so I called Zoe back and asked her where they were and she said that they were on the corner with the police by this time so I looked around and there was nothing. Just an empty intersection. So I asked her what was around her so she looked around and said "OH SHIT" so I said "What?" and she said, "We're right behind the venue" so after running the mile or so to the intersection across the bridge I had to run back. So she said that she would send her friend to come get me, so I decided to run anyway and meet her friend, well I was all the back at the other side by the time she got there to get me, but not complaining because any less distance I had to run is good with me. She took me around the corner and I saw the scene and even though I saw Mandee standing there fine, my heart still sank seeing her in the position. So before the car even stopped completely I jumped out and ran over to assess the situation and make sure she was okay. When I finally realized that she was completely okay I started to relax. We got a tow truck and rode to drop her car off to get fixed.

May 22nd 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The day of all bad days, so I didn't really take too many pics but some of the ones I do have are quite epic.

On our way to the river to go on our float trip from hell.

The site where lives are ruined.

We went back to the condo before the show to get ready and LEE was there!!

Inside before we got kicked out.

After we got kicked out.

After Mandee and I talked our way back in.

AMB lolz.

Mandee's poor bleeding car.

After we got back to the condo I was hungry so we went to get some Whataburger, which is pretty good by the way.

I was inspecting the car and saw this and thought it was quite strange, I have been told since that it is to hook a car seat to, but still it's weird to me.

Waiting at the drive through window.

Dave was trying to scam extra change out of the completely stupid woman doing drive through, "Yeah, I need change for this fifty, 3 twenties will work fine" I couldn't not laugh.

With the day from hell finally over, we start the last day/night of our time in Arizona before we all head in our different directions.
</font>

The next day was Hatchet Attacks. We ended up getting there way after it started actually it was over half way over, but we stood around and watched Twiztid then everyone decided that I was to be a human coat rack so everyone could go into the pit or as we call it "going all the way" so I ended up with a practically 90lb purse with a very very very expensive crew jersey draped over the top, so I wasn't able to watch the show like I would have normally, I ended up sitting down and pouting at the top of the venue while all of my friends (other than Kyle, I suppose he felt like he owed it to me from Lotus) were enjoying the show from a front row seat. After the show ended we headed back to Adrianna's and then fun actually began. All of my juggalo friends are absolutely fantastic. They went from being people that we see at shows a few times a year to people that I entrust my personal feelings with and talk to on a daily basis. They are some of the funniest and greatest people I've ever met. So they basically turned my crappy time around and we partied and had a great time until I was woken up by AFChris telling me that he was leaving for the airport. It was a very sad moment. It was all ending, but we (Ryan, Mandee, Kyle and I) still had 7 more days to go.

May 23rd 2009

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adrianna having a morning cocktail.

Kyle is unamused.

Before they left I decided to make Nicky a morning cocktail as well, this entailed me mixing every kind of alcohol in the house into one cup, and believe me it was a really really nasty smelling/looking/sounding drink.

Hatchet attacks venue.

Chicago Ryan!!

What cha doin Ryan?

Eating $10 nachos? NO WAI!!

Down with the clown til we dead in the ground. We've been doing this for so long, and I have so many great memories and I'm excessively happy every single time we get to see ICP together, especially in places other than STL.

Dave being a creeper.

One of my favorite pictures from the whole vacation. Chris I'm sorry to ruin your plans but I think THIS is the way you achieve nirvana.

Or maybe this.

Or this.

My Ryans.

Kyle with his $7 water. Hope it's good Kyle, I hope it's good.

Group shot.

This is the last picture I got to take at the show because I had everyones stuff in my bag and couldnt' get to my camera.

Me with everyone shit.

During the show. When it wasn't dangerous for me to be a little closer.

Aftermath.

Forward to the condo after the show, and also forward into complete drunken stupor. At least for most. I believe I was pretty sober.

After doing this dance we noticed that Nick had spilled beer EVERYWHERE. Adrianna wasn't pleased.

Okay, maybe she's too drunk to REALLY be pissed.

But she still likes to bitch.

Ryan finds it fascinating.

<3

Ryan and Dave decided that they wanted to go to the gas station to pick up some essentials upon their return we had a rice krispies treat party.

SO CLOSE!!

More torture of Nick, it's nothing that you can really see but I assure you, he was tortured non stop from the beginning of the weekend to the very very end.

Later on, we decided to go swimming in the middle of the night. More Nick torture insued.

Afterwards I talked Chris into walking back to the condo from the pool wearing my swim suit. Lolz galore.

After we got back I decided that my clothes just wouldn't suffice so I stole one of Chris' shirts. A 4x tall tee. Fits great.

I took these pictures just to show the funniness of Ryan sitting next to Chris. Ryan is a really really tall big guy and next to Chris he look miniature. Made me giggle.

Dave in his preferred sleeping condition.

Ryan's tattoo that got fucked up from his ass ramming into rocks on the fucked up float trip from hell.

We got up the next day and got our things re packed and headed to the Hertz rental place for Mandee to pick up her rental that she was given from her insurance because of her crappy car accident. After she successfully picked up her car I dropped our friend Dave off at the Airport and headed to the rental car place myself to get a car to drive from Arizona to Vegas and then to LA and back. I reserved a car through Fox Rentals, and well lets just say, FOX FUCKING SUCKS, and I was not able to rent a car because they were not being helpful at all and I was miss informed before ever actually getting there to pick up the car and apparently they only except payment in rupies. After freaking out about how we were going to finish our vacation Adrianna volunteered her car for the trip, even though it is sort of old and less than fully reliable, but shit, in this situation we will take what we can get. So we stopped by an all you can eat mexican buffet and engorged ourselves and then made off for Las Vegas.

TO BE CONTINUED...

[this took WAY WAY WAY to long to do, so if you read it or hell, just looked at the pics, comment and let me know what you think!! ;)]
