Hey everyone. Most of my posts are open for anyone to read. The ones that are Friends-Only are just for that...Friends. Please don't be offended if you add me and I don't add you back. I only really add people that I either a) know in person or b) have talked to online for a long time.
Thank you for understanding!
CHEERS! |

I was half-expecting my 4th of July to be nothing special. Until the last minute, we didn't even have plans. We decided to join a few friends at a party in Virginia at our friend, Dirk's house. It turned out to be probably one of (if not THE) best 4th of July holidays I've ever had. There were so many random things going on at once that you didn't even need to be on anything to feel like you were slightly drunk. Between that and the F'N AWESOME time I had on Friday night, this was one of the better weekends I've had in ages.
( Far too many pictures of pool, fire, beer, bagpipes, and DAMN good friends under the cut. ) |

I actually feel good today. I know that sounds so generic..."good". That's just the best word to describe it. :)
I have some good stuff coming up soon, too:
Tonight: Xpose. I haven't gone in a week and I feel gross
Thursday, July 2nd: I'm going to AVAM for their Flicks from the Hill series. You get to chill out on Federal Hill outdoors and watch a movie. Tomorrow is Raiders of the Lost Ark!! I think that will be so badass to see on the big screen.
Friday, July 3rd: Timm and I both have off, so we're taking a drive to Lancaster, PA to hit up Angry, Young & Poor. They've been having some wicked sales online and I want to check the stuff out in person.
Saturday, July 4th: I think plans are 90% solidified and it looks like we're going to a party at Dirk's. :) I'm sure it'll be amusing and Bevan's planning on lighting himself on fire (again) so there's always that. LOL
Sunday, July 5th-Tuesday, July 7th: Not sure yet.
Wednesday, July 8th: I'm considering going to the outdoor movie series in Fells Point to watch Dark Knight.
Thursday, July 9th-Saturday, July 11th: JERSEY, BABY! I'm so excited, as it looks like I'm probably going to get to see a bunch of people I haven't seen in years. Plus, I miss my momma and it'll be good to spend some quality time with her.
Wow, thrilling entry, eh? ;) |

This weekend left every bone in my body exhausted and worn out. Strangely, I didn't actually do much, but I just can't seem to feel rested. I thought I was coming down with something yesterday, but I feel much better today, so who knows.
*WARNING: There are a lot of pictures of MEAT under the cut. If you're a sensitive vegetarian, do NOT click the cut. If you do, then you're not allowed to whine. ;) *

First off, thank you to everyone for your well-wishes. I'll be fine, but I just don't want to respond to comments just yet. <3
I'm not really an artistic person. I never really have been. I have always wanted to do SOMETHING even semi-artistic, though. After seeing a few live performances and watching WAY too many videos on YouTube, I'm wondering if I have the balls to pursue something that has piqued my interest....
Burlesque.
Trixie Little, a local burlesque gal used to do "Burlesque Boot Camp" around here every year. Well, not only did I miss this year's boot camp, but she moved away to NYC, so it's not happening ever again. I might look into taking classes somewhere, anywhere. Who knows? It could just be fun taking the classes, or maybe I can get to perform in front of people again like I've always enjoyed in the past. |

I haven't been talking about it too much, but plans for our Las Vegas/Los Angeles trip are coming along PERFECTLY!!!
We're flying into Vegas on Wednesday, October 14th. We will then be checking in to our hotel at Treasure Island. On Thursday night (a.k.a. my birthday), we're seeing Cirque du Soleil's O as an anniversary gift from my mom.
On the 16th, we will begin our 4-hour drive over to Los Angeles. I'm SO happy about this, but we'll be staying in the Grafton on Sunset again - the same hotel we were at last November that was full of random rockers and Wu Tang. ;)
While we're in LA, we're going to do a lot of the same stuff we did last time. We're also DEFINITELY going to see Steel Panther at the Key Club, which I'm thrilled about. :D
So yeah! The trip is coming together!! |

I left work at 5:30 pm on Friday and promptly began to run. I don't think I slowed down until I completely collapsed into bed last night. I was busy and surrounded by friends nearly the whole time. I really needed a weekend like this to raise my spirits a bit. This weekend should prove to be more of the same, I hope, and I couldn't be more excited.
This weekend also proved that I can be out in the sun all day, SLATHERED in SPF 50 with several re-applications, and I will STILL get sunburned. DOH!

Some days, it's really easy to dig yourself into a hole thinking about anything negative in your life. Lately, I feel like that's what I've been doing, and I HATE it. To counteract the funk, I'm forcing myself to focus on some good things in life at the moment.
( We're going to be positive. Positive, positive, positive! ) |

There's a quote that I've been repeating over and over in my head again like a mantra.
"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
....god I love that quote. It's so appropriate right now, too.
( Because I feel like it ) |

This weekend was just....awesome. I hate to use such a cliche word for it, but that's what it was. I know I sound like a broken record, but weekends like this remind me how much happier I am on a Monday when my weekend has been NON-STOP, packed with activities.
I had a very Baltimore-centric weekend, and I fell in love with this city all over again. It was wonderful.
( As usual, wordy description and a ton of pictures under the cut. ) |

I had mentioned that I wanted this weekend to be busy from eyes-open til eyes-shut each day. Yesterday did NOT disappoint. I went to bed kind of early, around 11. I was exhausted, and my skin smelled like salt water.
Yesterday was a good day. Today will hopefully be just as good. |

I was in bed early last night. Combine that with Timm snoring loudly all night (the fans we have on dry him out) and here I am, awake before 7 am on a Saturday. I'm sure I'll nap later on today.
I think I'm going to take this quiet time to go to the diner and sit with a few cups of coffee, my book, and myself. I don't get to do that often, but I SO love when I can.
Today, I don't have plans until 4 pm, so I have to think of something. Plus, I know I'm going to dinner at 6:30, but I hope I can find something to do after that that isn't necessarily club-related. Hmm. :)
(Oh, and did I mention that I'm going back to Jersey for a mini-stay in the beginning of July? I'll be there from July 9-11. I'm strangely excited about this as I've been missing my mom something fierce lately. It took a handful of years, but I can truly say that she's one of my best friends now, and I can't wait to see her! Jersey people - let's meet up!!!!) |

Uh oh....
It's coming on full-force again....
The itch for more tattoos.
I'm actually thinking of getting more stars. I was thinking about getting a splatter of little black stars on my wrist, but that idea was nixed by my tattoo artist. Now I'm wondering if I have the balls to get a few little small guys on my shoulder, where a t-shirt with SHORT sleeves could still cover it up. Hmm...
Decisions decisions. |

This weekend proved to be kind of...well, boring for the most part. I think my problem is that I commonly will have a weekend that is OMG-PACKED-FULL!! of activities, and then the next weekend will have maybe one thing going on. All of my life, I've been the kind of gal who has problems just sitting still and relaxing, so I get VERY ancey and jumpy when I'm not running around all weekend.
( The 80s Prom was a blast, though! ) |
