my boyfriend and i are embarking on our journey westward tomorrow! we are moving to oakland, california and we should be there by the end of the month. i have just spent the last four days saying goodbye to practically every person that is dear to me. it has been very sad and i am emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed. i knew it was going to be hard to leave but i didn't know it would be this hard.
i never thought i would miss this place so much. it's really not about the place you are - it's about the people that are with you. i'm going to miss so many people and i appreciate everyone so much for being in my life. i feel so blessed to count so many amazing people that are close to me. i love you all so much, i can't even type because i can't see through my tears.
i never thought this day would come ;-( i am excited for my journey but pieces of my heart are being left behind.
i won't really have regular access to a computer while i am on the road but i'll try to update when i can! until next time loveys!!!
Summer is finally here! What are your plans?
my sister's wedding, vacation with my cousins, lynda's birthday, the drive-in, rhode island beaches, brooklyn friends, snoop dogg concert, quitting my job, going away party at michelle's, moving across the country!
that's all i have...for now!
Who do you tell your secrets to?
i am really bad at keeping secrets! i usually tell my boyfriend or my sisters pretty much everything. i also tell my four best gal pals michelle, lynda, theresa and julie.
but my best friend salvatore knows most of my deepest & darkest ones and luckily he is good about keeping secrets!
Show us whatever it is that makes you happy.
I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHECK IT OUT!!!!!
that is me and lynnieloo before britney's concert at mohegan sun this past sunday!!!!! i can't believe we ACTUALLY made it on the website! okay let me start from the beginning...
after seeing britney in boston, i *knew* that i had to see her again! i had britney fever really bad! so i dipped into my savings and bought a ticket on ebay from someone who couldn't make it to the show. i had to sit by myself but it really wasn't a big deal to me since i got to see britney again! luckily lynda also had tickets to the show so we met up at the casino before the concert started.
BUT i had to walk into the casino by myself...in that outfit! so i just took a deep breath, walked out of my car...and made a beeline for the stairs so i wouldn't have to be in a cramped elevator with anyone! but after that, i had to face the inevitable and walked into the casino.
do you ever get that feeling that people are stopping and staring at you...that people are whispering about you? usually it turns out you were just being paranoid, right? well that was exactly what i was going through while walking through the casino...EXCEPT THAT I WASN'T BEING PARANOID! people would start pointing at me WHEREVER i walked! i could see people turn around and tell their friends to look at me too! what's even weirder is that i actually got used to it after awhile!
i met up with lynda and we walked by the doors to the arena on our way to the sky bar to get a drink. that's when a photographer starts running to catch up to us and asks me if he can take my photo and says that he is the tour photographer! i looked at lynda and told her to hike her shirt up and said sure! we couldn't believe it! and i really couldn't believe when i saw us on the website today! its soooo awesome and cool! i don't even know if britney looks at the website but it's probably the closest i'll come to even being noticed by her so i'll take what i can get!
after that, we went to the sky bar and had a drink before the show. while we were there, all the girls at the bar turned around and asked us about our costumes. we chatted with them for a bit and they ended up helping us get the bartender's attention!
after that, we went into the arena and stood in line to get some snacks. that's when lynda noticed this creepster circling around us, trying to slyly take a picture of me...but more like a picture of my butt zipper since my back was turned to him! lynda said to him, "if you want a picture of her, you can just ASK her!" he quickly walked away after that. i wanted to yell after him TWITTER THIS, BITCH! but (of course) i thought of that five seconds too late.
thats about the same time though that people started coming up to me and telling me how great my outfit was and/or asking to take pictures with me...of course i said yes! it was awesome to see so many people getting into my costume! any doubts that i had (and i had MANY!) about wearing the costume were erased after i saw the appreciation from other brit fans. that was *exactly* why i wanted to wear it in the first place!
i'm sure i must have freaked out the gal that sat next to me because i come sauntering in, by myself, with my costume on and then proceed to immediately eat a hot dog and a melting hershey's bar that i have stashed in my purse (i forgot to eat dinner). then i busted out my camera and binoculars and camera phone! i left during one of the lesser known pussycat doll songs to buy a britney hat & underwear (!!!) and then i had to leave again to go to the bathroom right before britney went on. i was rushing to the bathroom and as these two girls pass me, i hear one of them say my name. i turn around and it is two of my friends, theresa and shelley, who i have not seen in YEARS! we grab each other and started DYING of laughter! they seriously couldn't catch their breath, they were laughing so hard at my get up! it was so fucking awesome to see them! i had to say goodbye quickly though cause i had to pee. then i was pulled out of the bathroom line to get another picture with someone else and i was so afraid that i was going to miss the start of the show but i got back just in time!
the last time i saw britney, i spent a lot of the time trying to get pictures that i didn't pay enough attention to the show. this time around, i still took pictures but i mostly just dance and sang the whole night! it was so much fun! i had an aisle seat and had to actually be asked to get out of the aisle cause i kept slowing traffic down because i was dancing in the aisles and staring off into my binoculars. this one dude gave me a high five every time he got up to get another beer and lots of people in my section complimented me on my costume! i also used the binoculars a lot more this time around and it was sooo cool to see britney up close and see all the details of her costume and the stage! you can really see how much she loves performing - it shines through her smile when she is on stage!
here are some pictures i took from the show!
there were three major differences that were changed since i saw the boston show. the first is that the outfit with the purple bow replaced this other risque costume. the second is that britney is lifted into the air over a ring of fire! i could actually feel the heat from the fire, it was so HOTTTT! and the last change was the sparks that were rained down upon britney at the end of the show. that was the most spectacular thing to see!
i was feeling so guilty before about spending more money to buy another ticket but i don't have that guilt anymore! it was such an amazing show the second time around and i am so glad that i wore my costume! britney fans are the best fans in the whole world!!!!
i realized i forgot to post about my valentine's day and birthday celebration!
