Day 82 - Timiquana, THRASH AND BURN

This morning Jenn and I began the day by going to Timiquana to lay out and swim for a while. Of course it started to rain right when we got there, though. We swam and used the rest of her roll of underwater film. Other wise it was pretty uneventful.

Tonight was Thrash and Burn, and I had been looking forward to it for months, seriously. It was amazing. It started at 3, but Evan and I didn't get there until around 8. MyChildren MyBride had JUST played when we got there, but that was alright. Right when I got there I saw Colton, Kevin, Chris, and Stamps. Eddy and Brandon were supposed to come up there as well but they didn't. Oh well. Evan and I watched all these crazy bands. Emmure played, and Emmure just reminds me of Wyatt so I never really listen to them. But I stayed to watch. The second the started to play a pit broke out, and immediately this really big guy fell to the ground, and his head was gushing blood. Evan and I were stumped. I have no clue what happened. But the guy was draged over right next to where I was standing, and he was unconscious. They had to carry him out, leaving behind an immense amount of blood. I still don't know what happened to him. I will hopefully find out from Colton. Emmure was pretty good, though. After the guy was carried out someone kept messing with my hair. I was standing in the pit, and right behind me there was a nother level so I was eye level with people's feet. I kept giving this girl a dirty look, thinking that she was messing with my hair. But then I saw a Ked's Classic running away. Kevin. I untied his shoe. Being as scrawny as he is, he squeezed through the bars and stood with Evan and I for a bit, warning me of the pool of blood I was standing in. Yech.

We went to the other stage and watched some crazy metal band that had all these 40 year old guys with hair to their waists. And their drummer was 13 years old. So that was impressive. There were no other horribly eventful things that happened though. It was an amazing show. I have never seen or listened to DevilDriver before, and I saw them today. Epic. Seriously. I have already downloaded all of their CDs. It was so good.

After the show Evan dropped me off at Murray hill where I met up with Jenn and we went to Kickbacks to ring in her birthday. Usually, you get to Kickback's and it takes about 10 minutes for anyone to realize that you are waiting for service. But about 2 minutes after we sat down, the waiter from last night brought Jenn a little thing of Chocolate syrup with a straw. It was hilarious, but she was embarrassed. We rang in her birthday with chocolate milk and our favorite waiter. It was good times.

Matthew Hastings of MCMB replied to one of my tweets I sent him on Twitter. I about peed myself.

Tomorrow is her birthday. I am excited.

Day 51 - JSO, PVB, Fourth

This morning Jenn and I woke up and went straight to JSO. By this point I had a huge bruise on my neck and one on my arm that is obvious finger marks. We talked to a police officer and he wrote up a report for me. We couldn’t figure out how to spell Asshole’s last name, but eventually we found him. Unsurprisingly, he already has a mug shot. And he is laughing in it. We got the report written up and I have to go this week to file it, if I decide to file it.

We left downtown and came back home and got bathing suits and showers and whatnot then went to Tropical Smoothie for lunch. It was delicious. We went to Ponte Vedra and spent the day floating in the pool with AJ, Drew and Petal. Granny was back at Marsha’s house and it was nice to see her home and well. Finally out of the hospital!

Told my mom about what happened last night, thinking that would be a good idea since I need her help to file the report. She flipped, of course. And basically I am not allowed to see a lot of people anymore. I am alright with that, though. And she gave me a curfew, on Fourth of July. So that sucked. We talked about it and decided in the end that it wouldn’t be a good idea to file the report. Justin Jarrell, Asshole, is crazy. If he has no problem strangling a girl and giving her huge bruises when he is completely sober, I don’t want to know what he would do if I got him arrested. Since it would technically be a minor battery charge, it wouldn’t put him in jail, just ass something to his record. I would rather forget about the whole ordeal and move on.

Tonight Jenn and I went to 5 Points to watch the fireworks. We saw her friend Mike and he hung out with us for the night. Everyone was standing along the river at Memorial Park in front of the statue, then the fireworks started. Way over to the left. Everyone felt pretty stupid that we all were in the wrong spot. The fireworks were cool, but they are always the same. We left there and followed Mike to this party at his friend’s house. It was the coolest house I have ever been to. Apparently one of the guys that lives there’s mom owns an antique store, and the house was full of cool stuff. It was just like Jenn’s room, but in house form.

From there we went to Heather and Ollie’s loft downtown. Heather just got a kitten and it was the cutest thing ever. I usually don’t like cats, but my weekend was full of cats. Last night, Jenn and I spent quite some time chasing Joe’s cat, Titties, around his house. I think I liked that cat so much simply because his name was Titties. Heather’s cat was so tiny and adorable. Jenn and I spent the entire time that we were there playing with those blow toys. I have no idea how to describe it, but there are pictures. Obviously. I dont know why the majority of these are B&W. For some reason it makes me feel like it is New Years Eve.

Day 19 - Babysitting, Bikes, Rooftop Party

Today was another Liam and Kate day. I took Liam and Camp to the pool and let them go off on their own for a bit. I was able to enjoy some time to myself, read some Augusten Burroughs, and drown out the terrible Timiquana music with Ghostland Observatory and With Faith or Flames. Julia was up there and we hung out of a little bit. She is going to be a debutante this summer, so that is exciting. I also encountered some of the rudest girls ever today. That is nothing new for Timiquana, but these girls today were a different breed. One soaked my book my shaking her hair off and when I said something, she just looked at me, laid down, and closed her eyes. Bitch. Liam and Camp had been swimming for a long time, and I kept telling Liam to tell me when they were getting lunch since I was starving, and finally I was just going to go order ahead of them, our number gets called. Turns out Liam completely ignored me and went ahead and ordered his lunch. No surprise. So I just planned on getting my lunch then leaving. I waited for about 30 minutes for my lunch until I decided to just leave. I stopped to see if it was just sitting there, but turns out someone just came in and took it. Jerks. So I had to wait for the woman to make me a whole new order. I hate the people at Timiquana sometimes.

This afternoon was pretty boring, didn’t do much of anything. Jenn and I went on a bike ride this evening, and that was nice. It gave us time to just talk and not have our phones buzzing every 30 seconds. We need to do that more often.

Later we went to Kickbacks for dinner then to a birthday party for one of the guys that she works with. On the way to the party we stopped at Walgreens to get some jellybeans, and there was this woman checking put in front of us with the worst hair I have ever seen. She was leaving and the cashier handed her a bag stuffed with candy and said, “Oh wait. Here’s your candy.” Then handed her some beach toys and said “and your toys.” And Jenn and I thought it was the funniest thing ever. Typing this now, I have no idea why, but at the time, it was hilarious. From there we headed to the party. It was on the roof of the new lofts in 5 Pts and it had an amazing view. I felt mega lame at the party since a good amount of the kids that were there were just graduating high school. I met some cool people, and saw some random people from high school. Eric Branholm and David Meyers were both there. When I first got there I thought I recognized David but decided it probably wasn’t him, but turns out it was. It was funny seeing him and Eric there, and it was nice to catch up. I sound so queer for saying that, but its true. At one point last night I went downstairs to use the restroom, but turns out two of the people from the party were having sex in the only bathroom that was available. David and I both got a good laugh out of that one and listened in for a while. They were there for a while so I had to pee on the roof. Great fun. Tonight was really good. Just hung out, talked, drank. It was nice to do that instead of TSI or the Pearl, where you cant really talk and people are swarming. It was a nice change of pace.

Tomorrow is another day of Liam and Camp. Can’t wait… Oh and I have the most hilarious sunburn from today. One side of my body is a tomato, the other is white as a sheet.

This is my life. I am such a pushover.

Day 17 - Bikes, Kickbacks, Colton, Jenn

Last night right after I posted Jenn came over and we hung out for a while and figured out who some people in her phonebook are. That was great fun. This morning my mom and I rode our bikes to the Brick for breakfast, and we sat next to the weird group of people. This girl was wearing a red beret with a bill on it, a white shirt with some sort of image on it with rhinestones, and a red short skirt. It was not very Ortega-ish, to say he least. And they were talking and I was listening of course, and she was saying how recently he got really drunk “at this place downtown. Like TSI? TIS? I don’t know.” She was talking about different forms of transportation when you are drunk, and how when she is drunk, she gets a tow tuck to take her and her car home, and its free. The guys that she was with were both like, “No I don’t think they do that” and she was dead set on it. It was hilarious. And then one of the guys kept saying how he knows one of the guys in Lynyrd Skynyrd and how “Lynryd comes into the store all the time.” No one’s name in that band is actually Lynryd, first off. Yet again they were like, “No, I don’t think you’re right.” It was funny to hear each person at the table do the same thing.

After a nap and a Target run, my mom and Jenn and I went to Timiquana and laid out for a bit. Jenn and I were swimming at one point and talking about apparently strippers at the Dollhouse make around $1000 a night. I don’t think that’s right, and I said, “Well its only $5 for them to get naked.” And Jenn said “Also its like $30 for a 3 minute lap dance.” And then we remembered that we were surrounded by children and there was this mother right next to us and it was very awkward. We just… swam away…

Tonight Jenn and I went to Kickbacks with Colton and Ben. That was fun, since I haven’t hung out with Colton in a really long time. It was nice to catch up and everything. I forgot how hilarious Colton can be. After Kickbacks we were sitting at their house, and it was 11:11 and everyone was like “make a wish!” None of us did, then Ben made us say what we would wish for if we wished on 11:11. Jenn and I both chose not to answer, since our wishes are probably similar. And Colton was like, “I just wish I could always be doing something sweet.” Which is such a Colton thing to say. He went on and described what his perfect life would be, where even flying wouldn’t top the sweetness of his day to day life. After he finished, both Jenn and I wished we had written it down. It was amazing.



I silently stressed about something for the past 2 days, and I think everything was resolved tonight, which I am excited about. Oh and I bought more wine. Woo!

Jenn is sitting next to me in my bed right now, stealing my music from my hard drive. I am falling asleep. There is a beer teetering dangerously on my dresser. Ironically, it is a beer from Colton’s, and it is sitting on top of my Pray for Jax painting. Funny.
