"itsy bitsy spider...."

it was funny a couple days ago Derek and I had my lil bros Josh and James come to play w/ his neice and nephew Kolton and Shaylee. at one point i started to sing "itsy bitsy spider" and James knows all the hand movements that goes w/ the song and he looked over at shaylee as she "sang" it with me and they just stopped and stared at eachother like "you know my song?!! how do you know my song??" it was cute.

speaking of kids... my best friend of how many years.. I think 16 years, wow time flies. anyways Amers has a bun in the oven! woo.. congrats Amers, its gonna be a crazy and fun ride, but your wish has come true and I am happy for you and Tim!

tell me all the gossip....

so only 10 more days til the SHOW and my birthday, this is probably the first time I've been REALLY excited about my birthday, mostly cuz I don't like all the attention and dreading on getting older. oh well.. that's life.
I'm still trying figure out my outfit for the show, I know I am going to wear my black and white checkered suspenders and belt for sure tho since Gwen has been seen with a black and white checkered belt lately and the boys in the band have been wearing suspenders, I have had them for so long!
Amy and I might get around to making bum flaps, not sure how difficult or how easy they will be to make. They seem pretty simple although I do know how to sew but I have never put a whole thing together like that before.
Hot Topic is also coming out with new No Doubt shirts, I guess both are from the online vote from their survey and i hear the next one is titled "neon" and i think the one i voted on had neon letters but not sure if its the classic logo print, the one Amy voted for made it stores already!
No Doubt has so many exciting things going on for this tour, first there's the Just A Girl video submission, hopefully our video will be up there! Then there's the new merchandise including an individual poster made for each city I hear they are $20 but I am so buying one! They are really doing a lot for the fans for this tour, although I will not be bidding $2,000 minimum to meet them for charity, that's a lot of money plus if we get close enough to the front I hear Gwen signs autographs! so I'm definitely bringing a sharpie!
I watched Gossip Girl the other night, never have I ever seen this show, so i had absolutely no idea what was going on!! but saw the Live Nation commercial for the show before ND's appearance which was cool, the appearance was a big "woo" as Amy would put it ha ha, they didn't show that much of them, I loved Gwen's 80's look tho, she's so pretty! I'm totally gonna be up front in the pit looking at her and being like "wow! I hope I look her when I'm 40!" and looking back at Derek and being like "you better quit checking her out, she' s a married woman!" ha ha
sill can't believe we're gonna be up that close! super fun stuff is about to happen. OH and I also hear it's not gonna be in the triple digits as far as weather goes... It's only gonna be 94 degrees out that day, so it shouldn't be too painful being outside at the show.
the wait is almost over....... =)

No Doubt ticket presale

OK so the No Doubt presales were on sale today, I was so stressed since there was only a 4 ticket limit and 6 of us wanting to go AND the date landed on my birthday (so exciting) so I had to try and get really good seats and all of us together. I was on No Doubt.com since about 1:30 pm today checking out the tips on how to go about buying them from the East coasters since their tickets went on sale around 2 o'clock our time (4 pm venue times) I calmed down a bit when someone said that they gave you the option for pit tickets or reserved seating, its pretty awesome No Doubt reserved the pit for us hardcore fans! which makes them even more awesome for setting that up instead of letting ticket scalpers take up all of those good seats and sections being that you get a "special entrance" (that they will send an email about) and you pick up tickets at will call day of the show.

around 3:30 Derek came by with Taco Bell and I couldn't eat I was so anxious and nervous, he was laughing at me on how tense I seemed and I kept looking at the time on my phone as we were sitting at my dining room table eating. I had set up my dad's laptop so that Krissy can sign in at the same time and that way we had a better chance at getting the Pit section for both transactions, I looked at my phone to look at the time and ran to the computer counting down the minutes, Derek came in when he was done eating and watched and helped us when it turned 4 0'clock!! we both checked off GA Pit section and i typed in my info and we were off!! GA pit section is what we got and so happy and excited about it!! yeah... it was alot of money, yeah... we will probably be tired from standing and jumping in the pit, and yeah.. it will be so freaking hot outside, BUT they have benches and places to sit before the show starts cuz its not like we have to be in the pit the whole time when we get there, AND Derek is paying me back the money for my ticket cuz it's my birthday present, AND we are under the covered area of the venue and not out in the sun in the lawn, this is the first time since we saw them in 2000 on the Return Of Saturn tour, that we will get to be up front.
yeah..
It will most likely be a really awesome birthday cuz how can it not be? when i got my closest family and friends with me at the show too!!! the countdown is on!!

valentines weekend

Friday: Derek, his parents and I got tickets to go see an exhibit at the desert botanical gardens, It was by an artist named Dale Chiluly "The nature of glass" it's all hand blown glass art, we went and picked up Brittany to go with us cuz she thought it would a cool thing to take pictures of, we walked around for about 3 1/2 hours looking at the glass sculptures and different kinds of AZ desert plants and cactus's, i thought it was pretty awesome and a different thing to do.
Afterwards we went to go eat dinner at Black Angus, it was super tasty.
and not to forget I got my valentines day flowers and new vase on Friday also, they are different colored Tulips, they are so pretty! i love them.

Saturday: Our lil Ranger went home with Emily and Kolton, we took care of her for a few extra weeks so Emily could get her backyard set up for her and get all the puppy stuff together, we are glad she took her, we definitely wanted someone we know and who we see often to keep her cuz we all had been attached to her.
For V day - We made reservations at a restaurant Derek wanted to take me and I have never been, The Blue Adobe in Mesa, it is a restaurant of New Mexican cuisine so of course I would like it, I ordered a margarita and it was very good had me a lil buzzed and went well with my dinner, I had a traditional chicken enchilada (the green chili was hot but good) and a shredded beef taco, so good. Derek had lobster tamales and those were tasty too, we couldn't leave without having sopapillas, we went home and did traditional valentines day stuff...

Sunday: watched new movies and been lazy, went running after DC and his mom Brandy cuz they were playing with the dog next door and got excited and started running across the street! now I'm gonna go help Derek make a salad for our dinner.

a trip back in time

so I was looking through old stuff I wrote and shared on the internet.
I cant believe I wrote these two poems when I was only 17 years old!! it's an exact copy of how I wrote it. In these particular poems I was influenced by freestyle and poetry jams and by life of course...(these were written at very difficult and depressed state in my life)

..........................................................

people don't care just because they care.
people don't do things just because they want 2 help.
people give just as much as they can get.
people remember just as much as they 4get.

we're all stuck in places cuz it's not so easy 2 maneuver our way 2 trust.
I've always fallen, so b4 I even try, I'll just give up.
we all fall from high hopes cuz we're dissapointed.
nothing's wrong and nothing's right.
and I'll point my finger at you cuz you're in my sight.
we don't see eye 2 eye cuz you're bigger and better than me.
that's the way it has always is, always has and will always will be.

it would be nice 2 believe in the things that you say.
but its just the same as being betrayed.
I'll just steal cuz I can't conseal the feel 2 be real.
I'll break all of what's been made.
because if I am not selfish then I am fake.

.................................

this morning I woke up, cuz I couldn't get up in the morning 2 face the starting of a new day thats the same as all the rest, and coming from an old night as old as my soul that has grown minute by minute rather than a new age each year, I've lost count of the tracks each time I'd give up everything just 2 see any movement of improvement, 2 where I deprive my life coming so close 2 where it can't be revived, giving my all 2 where I'm worn out of walking in2 the mess I was left 2 clean up,just when I'd think it would be a place of peace but only 2 be pieces still unravelling underneath the unsightly surface w/ each breath Itake coming closer 2 a normal day in my world..
this world- this life is so confusing and I get shit on 4 being confused, excuse me 4making it through and coming out grasping on 2 my existence cuz it slips away 2 where my dreams are only oblivious, excuse me 4 still standing when I could fall apart at any given but taken moment thats robbed from me and forced in2 this trap of hostility and negativity,this tension is so alive in the already hard tormenting ways of my life-our lives-, challenges and obstacles, "always levels 2 overcome",always a new step 2 walk up when the world is on your back, cuz if I was 2 allow it 2 fall it would feel like it was my fault 4 letting it all break when I was supposed 2 know cuz I've been through this and been over this many times b4..
and I dont need your benefits of YOUR doubts cuz I know I am not weak, I didn't give up everything just 2give up more, but still we'd all rather think than not believe cuz the truth is only a memory in a pretence universe, make believe in love,happiness and peace and guilt because they are so hard 2 let go, when 4once will they be real? when will be the moment that grants me of overcoming my patience? cuz I fell and got back up so many times tracing back 2 when I was little and falling and left w/ a scar from my hopes that will remind me that I've been affected me in every possible way because that is my only weakness, the cause from the affect of this infection that made me realize w/ all this I am somebody who strives 2be someone cuz I will not let you fall, and I still wonder will these words from truth will ever be enough-???
