heather and i drove up to saint cloud for the readygoes show at the red carpet. now, from previous experiences we knew that it was sure to be a raging ridiculous drunk fest. little did i expect how raging i would get. holy cow. we arrived early and waited for other friends to show up. soon enough derek, gremlin, steven and bailey strolled over. brittany and lydia came in minutes after. the readygoes boys were spotted crossing the road and heading backstage.
i caught up with bailey for a few mintes, as we have not spoken in months and months. wished brittany a very happy birthday. ordered some drinkables for myself to store up for the night. said hello to laura as she walked by, also said happy birthday and promised her drinks.
in came the captain morgan girls. oh. no.
these girls paraded around putting stickers on everyone. every girl had to find their male counterpart number and go to the treasure chest to get a prize. now. i love captain. i was in trouble. not only was there a very nice drink special on captain coke, but there was a photobooth, spray on tattoos, and craziness ensuing. bailey found my match man, took a picture, and i received some kanye west style glasses. usually i think anybody wearing these on a normal day are complete tools, but since EVERYONE had them by the end of the night, we all sort of made them the "cool thing." even shackle was wearing them onstage at the show.
here is when it gets fuzzy.
i do remember me and lydia making up at the bar. i really appreciated her approaching me. i know that i can be stubborn and bitchy when i am upset. i also know, though, that there are other sides to things. and as prideful as i am, i am always willing to forgive if people show effort or understand my side of things. all i need is the other party listening to me, understanding my perspective of things, and i can be okay. i will always try to see other people's perspectives, and i will always make amends (if possible) if those actions are taken. right or wrong, it is how i operate, and i was very relieved to have talked things out a bit with lyds. i hate drama and the heavy weight of having "enemies," regardless if i do not always do the best things to prevent the two. anyway. that was that.
so, after that i remember VERY little. everything moves like shades in my memory. i remember watching the guys on stage, but i do not remember the songs they played or what i was doing (apparently i was dancing and bumping into my girls a lot, sorry!). i remember george letting me play his bass during one song. i remember grabbing mo's shoulder while he played. i remember trying to grab shackle while he was singing into the crowd. yikes. heather thinks i was drugged. ha. i did not drink THAT much, but i always remember what happens even when i do drink a lot. weird. i know i barged into the backstage greenroom a million times and bugged the guys. i know i took a million pictures with everyone (where i am in the same pose over and over). i remember talking to some people and scolding others. i remember falling once. i have the scrapes to prove that. i remember being carried around (not because i was drunk, but because derek was bringing me back to heather: "is this yours?"). i remember standing outside of the show when everything was done for about an hour, when everyone would not decide on what to do. i just wanted to sleep. some of the girls went to perkins. i eventually just went to my car, grabbed the pillows, and started walking toward the cheap hotel (even though i had no idea of where it was). luckily, that kicked started everyone into motion. readygoes and brittany followed me. i bought a two bed hotel room, where upon the desk clerk asked me if i was "drunk or high?" i looked at her with a fury of a thousand annoyed suns and said "no. i am tired." it was 3:30 AM. c'mon. so we trudged up to the room. i let heather and lyds know where we were, and they arrived later. shackle crashed my the door, patrick in front of the tv, brittany in the corner, tyler on the floor, mo in the tub (for tub's sake), george sprawled out sideways on one bed (what a bed hog), and me, heather, and lydia in the bed.
in the morning readygoes minus mo went home, but shackle left me some money on the bed stand (i sort of felt like a prostitute haha). so all of us woke and departed. heather and mo rode with me because we were going to head over to murphy's parent's bbq which started at noon. good lord. on the way home heather and mo filled me in on my night. i dropped heather off, and mo and i rode up to murphy's. what a good day. i was really tired and hung from the night before, but hanging out all day on murphy's porch with dan, amy, glo, murphy and mo was the best sunday a girl could have. we just drank margs, smoked, and laughed laughed laughed all day. later on we all watched a movie (that i will not name on here because it was bootlegged and i do not want murphy to get in trouble haha).i am SO excited for amy to have her baby (probably this week?). her and dan will make the cutest, most bad ass human being on the planet. i am awaiting the midnight text to go to the hospital. haha. yayayay!
now my voice is gone. i am coughing from allergies/sleep deprivation/cigarette surplus. but i am very happy.wednesday is another readygoes show, friday is ari herstand's cd release party at the varsity with this world fair. that show will be interesting, to say the least.
that is all for now. must nap a bit.
