YES!

July 20-27: Chiiiggy

SO EXCITED!

Still haven't come up with an exact move date. It looks like I will most likely be living by myself in a studio, (which is kind of scary, but something I'd rather do). I'm lookin at mid-late August, just all depends on how the visit goes.

EDC REcap:

Just got back from the Electric Daisy Carnival today around 2:30. Hands down one of the greatest shows I've ever been to. 5 different stages, 4 different rides, painting, GLOWSTICKS, mimes, people walkin on stilts, and so many beautiful people everywhere you turn. 

 

When we arrived we first stopped at the Aurora Mall, and grabbed some Chik-Fil-a. I took pictures of everything, documented literally everything we saw or did. We had a couple hours to kill before the show, so we just hung out around the mall. The guys went to Tilt while Jenna and I changed into our outfits. Upon meeting up with them, I took a picture of Jake playin DDR. Little did I know, this would be the last picture I would ever take on my camera. 5pm rolls around and we decided to be on our way. We were not even 10mins away when I noticed that my camera was not in my purse. I started freaking out. I looked everywhere in Nic's car before I told them, "We have to go back." Well of course, on our way there we got lost, taking us over an hr & 1/2 to get there. When we finally arrived, my camera was in fact, no where in site. I walked into Tilt, thinking it fell out of my purse and it was laying on the floor somewhere. Nope. I asked the guys workin at Tilt if anyone turned in a camera, or saw one, and if they found one to give me a call. I did the same at Customer Service. I got so upset walking out of that mall. I started to cry, sitting on the curb next to Nic's car, burying my face in my lap. That was the worst feeling in the world. I had lost a huge part of my life because of some asshole that stole it. We all got back in the car and Nic & Jenna were scrambling around, looking everywhere in his car. I finally just said, "Let's just go you guys." 

8pm

We had arrived. Jeremy, Jake, Cameron, & Justin were waiting for us by the entrance. We walked up to talk to them and Jeremy looked at me and said, "I'm sorry about your camera Kramer." I wanted to cry all over again and said, "You don't understand dude, that camera's my life," flailing my arms up. "Yeah, but you can always get a new one, its replacable. All of this kramer," waving his arms wide open, "this isn't, so don't worry about it, and just have fun." I told him he was right, and from that moment on, I didn't even think about it. Luckily, Nic has the same camera I do, and let me bring it in the show to take pictures.  When we first arrived, the sky was BEAUTIFUL. It rained a little bit around 6, but didn't rain the whole rest of the night, just kinda cold and windy.

Numero uno shortly before this.

When we first walked into the bassPOD I immedietley started thinking of Jeff. I kept thinking I was seeing him everywhere, and I wished he was there so bad. He would've LOVED IT!

This guy gave me the first light show I've ever experienced, and it was amazing.  

Numero dos shortly before this ride. My mind was telling me I was scared shitless, but I didn't feel it at all. We stood in this line for over an hour, taking turns stayin, and dancing. It was cold and windy, and we all just stood there rubbin and huggin on eachother. At one point Jeremy said, "I just need to dance dude," and went back in one of the stages. When we finally got up to get on the ride, some dude puked everywhere getting off, and that got me a little scared. That was the last thing I wanted to do. When we got on it started to rock us back and forth, and then stall us in the middle of the air, followed by spinning us upside down front and backwards.  All I could hear was Jeremy sreaming, "LOOK GUYS I'M STALLING, LOOK!" I couldn't look. I couldn't even  move. I felt like my body was paralyzed. It was the biggest rush of my life.  All of a sudden I heard something drop under me, and Jake screamed, "What was that? Thats your phone! Step on it!" I tried, but failed miserably. We rocked back in the air and Jake and I literally watched it float right in front of us. Again, I couldn't move. Jake started to grab for it screaming, "OH SHIT! OH SHIT!" and by the time I tried it was too late. BAM CRASHED TO THE GROUND. When we got off the ride all I could find was the top half of it. This girl waiting in line asked me what I was looking for and I told her what happened and she said, "Oh shit! That sucks girl! I say you look for it for like 15mins and if you don't find it, fuck it and GO DANCE!" I thought to myself for a second, thinking, 'That girls got the right idea' and as soon as I went back to the kineticFIELD, I forgot all about it, and danced till the show was over. 

 

 

Jeremy was determined to drive back right after the show. That kinda freaked me out a little bit, but we made it. When I got in Nic's car after the show, I instantly got cold and tired. We started to drive and my stomache started to hurt really bad. I sat up, and realized I had drank 4 bottles of water, and only peed once. I had the worst pain I have ever experienced in my entire life. I called Jeremy and said, "Dude I need to go like NOW, pull over somewhere, or on the side of the road I don't care."

After we stopped and I went pee, (which was the longest piss I've ever taken, by the way) I was out within 10mins of getting in the car, and slept for 5hours. 

This was probably the most amazing night of my life. My mind was completely blown for 8hrs straight. I was floatin on a totally different level guaranteed. I can't even fully describe how amazing this was. 

So many beautiful, friendly, and loving people. 

So much new music I've been introduced to that I've been looking for. 

L.A. next year.

2 days of heaven, nonstop.

It's Electric

Im so excited for this! It's probably going to be one of the greatest shows I ever go to.

Pictures, and a blog following when I get back. =)

Dancin to the beat of my own drum

I feel like I'm on a roller coaster. There's always somethin goin on, and theres always people to hang with. It's awesome. I feel so much better about my life, and all the people in it. 

I          finally          just 

                           let 

                                                   go. 

Life is too short. 

 

I'm helping my friend Thom work on his senior art project for school this weekend. I don't want to go into details just yet, but it's going to be one of the  greatest things he's ever done. I'm really excited to take pictures for him and be apart of it.
