i read like 2 chapters and i returned it.
i skipped towards the back. but i just wasnt feeling it.

sometimes ditching school does pay off!!! :D
(and by ditching i mean leaving after lab!)
one day, after lab, i decided screw this I'm heading home.....as always i log on to instagram and i see a picture of the lovely Claire Sinclair on my feed of her wearing a new corset and then saying to email a certain address to win tickets to her show!
i mean, what else did i have to lose? (besides my identity had it been a false account which luckily it wasn't)
so i email the email address, i think i went by a few days without checking my email (i don't even know how to turn the notifications on on my phone so you know) i had forgot and BOOOM!!!! low and behold....
I
W O N
T I C K E T S !!!!!!!
all i said in the email was that i REALLY wanted to go. that i had been begging ANYONE and EVERYONE to go with me to no avail! that if i had to id go by myself (which lets face it....hell yea i would have!)
all i said in the email was that i REALLY wanted to go. that i had been begging ANYONE and EVERYONE to go with me to no avail! that if i had to id go by myself (which lets face it....hell yea i would have!)
i won tickets...i won tickets...i won tickets!!!!
so i picked a date, hoped and prayed that it wasn't a scam and took my butt over to see the show!!!
(insert emojis with hearts as eyes!!!)
i looooooved it!!!
not only did i win tickets but i got tickets HELLA UPFRONT!!!!
talk about a win win!
this has been the year of winning for me! first with Kelly then with Rachel and now with pin-up!
I'm not sure where i first heard of this to be honest....but i have been wanting to see this show for forever so i was really happy when i won! (Obviously!)
the show is based upon a 12 month calendar and the ladies act up what goes on month by month.
its a swing kind of show.
i loved every minute of it.
Claire doesn't come out on all the months but the ones she does come out in are worth it!!!
i loved October's costume.
of course she was always wearing pasties....i just loved that they were spider shaped!!! haha
she came down from the stage and gave some dude in front of me a shirt and she told him she'd sign it for him after the show. she also said we'd all get to meet and greet her and the cast after the show.
that guy ended up leaving but i met her.
and got her autograph so hooray for me!!!
only dude in the show (besides the band) what a lucky guy! ;)
the girl to my right (or left...idk depends on how you look at it) was the singer for the entire show....what a voice!
a "funny pose" picture!
this is me telling her she is a total babe!!!
and her being all "why thank you!!!!" haha
i looove her!!!!
this is the year of Vegas!!! and i love that!
and if i go back anytime soon, i will definitely try to catch her again!
just an fyi....follow her on ig for a chance to win because along with me, several other people won too!!!
and also, if you stay at The Stratosphere you can get 2 for the price of 1 tickets!
win win win!!!
im so happy i won!!!
:D
last night i noticed our wifi (thingy located in my room) wasn't working buuuuut i left it alone because my sister is the one with the magic touch.
apparently no one fixed it because it was still blinking orange today in the morning.
while my sister was getting ready for work in the restroom i yell out: "what's wrong with the wi-fi!?"
to which she replies: "who slept with a white guy!?"
i love our selective hearing.
someone was telling me about that game Telephone where basically in a large group, you whisper something in someones ear and it travels from ear to ear and you see what you end up with at the end.
i think my and my sis could do that just the two of us yelling down the hallway.
i have further proof as my co-worker just said she was having a cholo party and i could have sworn she said she's having trouble farting! (someone else heard she was having trouble parking!)
this is her sitting like 5 feet away from me!
haha!
happy tuesday! <3
im starting to think, how have i not messed up my numbers. im sure i have!
meep!
back from vegas!
what an amazingly awesome weekend!
i smiling from ear to ear!
lets get this started!
132.
my mom got this chess/checkers/idk thing from her friend.
my mom and tess were having a very intense game as you can tell.
haha.
133.
eeeekk!!
my new bag! i love it!
got it at my sisters forever 21.
im currently at a phase in my life where i HATE big purses so i use the small makeup bag that my sister gave me (which she HATES that i use it for that!) but because i usually carry like 5 different books with me its kind of a hassle (either way, in my big bag phase, i never used one that big!) so i got this bag to throw all my stuff in there and not hassle with anything!
heck it even went with me to vegas!
i cant wait to add pins and what not! :D
TOTES MAGOTES!!!
134.
my brother got a belated birthday gift ($$$) so he decided to spoil me with a donut!!! <3
135.
hahahahhahahahaha.
last week California reached 100 degrees and my room was an oven.
so of course i slept in the living room. my mom, when leaving to work, woke me up and told me to go to bed.
as i walk in to my room, this is what i walk in to.
mind you i was hella asleep still but i was like waaaitt!!! i HAD to take a picture.
i found this so funny!!!!
136.
100 degree weather in vegas is better than 100 degree weather in california.
specially if there is a pool involved!!!!
love meeting new people! (:
137.
see what i mean about the weather?
even Chester who LOVES to sleep under the covers shaped to your body wasnt having it.
isnt he the cutest thing EVER!????
138.
drunk reading is the best.
okay i wasnt drunk, i was buzzed!
ordering this book based solely on this (okay and a lot of the inside!) is even awesome-er!!!!
i cant wait to get it!!!
even sweeter!?
getting it on amazon for $0.01 (tooo bad shipping was $3.99 but still!!! its a steal!!!)
in other news...i was thisclosetogettingmydisneylandpassthisfriday buuuuuut i just read that disney bumped there ish up to $96 AND cancelled their so cal annual pass (parking also went up!) so basically im (pardon my french!) fucked! they said something along the lines that you can still renew your pass but mine expired in Oct so i might be screwed. dear disneyland, SUCK IT!!!!!!!! -love one less person that was willing to spend stupid amounts of $$$ at yo park. but lets keep it real; i was going to call tomorrow to follow up on that haha! i dont even care that they bumped it up to $96. im mad about the pass.
o well thanks for making the decision hella easy for me disney!!!
you da best!

(my nails were lime green, hot pink and then nekiid by the time i finished this book.)
published: 1996
isbn: 0-385-48680-4
read from 4/22 - 5/11 - 2014
bah!!
i saw this book as i was leaving the library checking out another book.
the only reason i thought to grab this book was because i saw that it was the library's "lets discuss this..." of the month. (or whatever they call it!)
...i didnt make it to that group conversation.
i do know that its a movie.
a movie i never really cared to see and i never thought i would...but i did!, and right as i was at like the 15th page of the book. why? because i wanted to try out my theory.
movies before books dont break your heart as much. and i think that theory stands to be true.
i saw the movie and i liked it.
it was kind of straight to the point although it did have its missing parts but i feel that the book went on for a looong while!
as soon as i started reading it i was hooked but it got to parts that i dragged to read.
kay kay enough!
this is a true story about a young man name Charles McCandless whose desire was to leave to Alaska as soon as he graduated college without telling anyone.
he up and donates all of his money ($24,000) to a charity that is involved with feeding the less fortunate.
he packs all he needs into his Datsun (i think thats what it was) and takes off.
when you start reading the book, the author straight up says something along the lines "this is the story of a young man that dies 2 weeks in to his trip in to Alaska" (i say along the lines because i can't quote it...i returned the book already! sad face!)
Apparently though, he traveled quite a lot before hitting Alaska.
From California to Oregon to one of the M states (horrible memory i tell ya!) he was all over the place before he landed at Alaska.
Along the way he meets several people that try to convince him to stay but he's set on his ways and it doesnt matter the weather or time, theres nothing stopping him from getting there.
i dont really want to talk about each character individually but i will say that i believe, compared to the book, the movie did a really good job capturing its essence. in the book the author talks a lot about his life experiences as well as several other young men that like McCandless up and traveled with no regard for anything else other than the nature they surrounded themselves with.
what i find amazing is that, technically, he could have survived had he been smarter about it. i say smarter in the sense that he should have learned about where exactly he was going.
while he considered where he ended up the deep heavy heart of Alaska, he was actually far from it.
he was in a very remote area. accessible to a lot of hunters who usually head that way to hunt during winter.
several miles from him were several cabins that he could have gotten to even in the state that he was in towards his end. there was a cable car that could have helped him get to the other side of the river had he gone just a few more miles.
but i guess that's just it no? its all so simple that it looks like its not.
over all, i thought it was a good book.
i am leaving a lot of detail out but you can just watch the movie.
theres no need to read the book (never thought i'd say that) because for the most the movie covers it.
but just to cover the basics, his parents were influenced by money and he didnt like it.
Chris found out that his father had another family (of 6 kids!) and that he fathered another child while with his mother (even thought they werent legally married and she had been the other woman!) im guessing that's what drove him to be the way he was. his parents were abusive towards each other and he wasnt having that. he got along well with his sister but he was always a person to be by themselves.
in the book, at the end, his parents fly out to where he died in the bus. i really liked that part.
kind of like closure. i wish they would have put that in the movie.
its just crazy how all these people whose life he touched all gather to try to get something together to remember him by.
one thing you do get in the movie that's more thoroughly explained in the book is that he was not mentally unstable. he wasnt demented or crazy or anything.
of all the people the author talks about in the book, Chris (Alex Supertramp) seems to be one of the most stable. he just, i dont know. wanted to be alone.
and just to cover it, he does die. but i didnt say how.
the book of course goes into more detail than the movie. still the same death but it was later discovered how so more in depth.
overall, watch the movie.
woot woot!
(by far, i feel this is one of my weirdest reviews....is that what i call em? naaah but you get me!)
are these real!? where can i buy them.
i WILL get a fashion sense if i can grab these!!!!

Pandora? how so?
back when i first heard about it (and it was still cool) i first heard We Are Scientist's It's a Hit and i instantly fell in love with them.
i got an email that they were going to be in town and for $20 i wasn't going to pass that up!
I'm glad i didn't because holy shoes ....
THEY.ARE.AHHHMAAAZIIING!
i am definitely catching them again.
it is amazing how good they are live.
and just when you thought "okay their sets done." Boom!!! out they come out again and play a trillion more songs!!!
(okay maybe not a trillion but def a good amount!)
the opening band Paws was pretty cool!
as always, here are a couple of (read: A LOT!) of pictures.
i ain't even mad!
these guys are total babes!
i don't know why i wanted a picture of the drum set i just did.
when i snapped the picture the bassist walked in front of it and little leslie was laughing at me.
my phone was faster though!
ha! in yo face!
this shot!!! ^^^ i looove it!
the singer of Paws (dude with the red beanie) jumped in to play guitar while the singer jumped in to the crowd to party with us!
wooohoooo!!!
this is the night i fell in love!
eek!
look at him!
what a babe!
it was keith's birthday (well May 10th) but they came out with a cake at 1130.
i guess they werent planning to play for that long but they did.
we all sang happy birthday to him! (:
apparently May 10th was also the 20th year anniversary of Weezer's blue album so of course they had to sing a couple of their songs.
this is the whole gang ( We Are Scientist & Paws) singing the chorus to "sweater" by Weezer!
man that was awesome!
the crowd went wild!!!
when we thought they were over (the 2nd time) they ended up coming back out again!
this time i caught them on the side of the stage!
these guys are amazing!!!
I'm definitely seeing them again!
and you should definitely catch them yourself!!!
i have 2 videos that ill post on here as soon as i can!
(and by that i mean as soon as i learn how to)
go catch their album With Love and Squalor over on Spotify (or YouTube as linked)
that one is my favorite!!!
I'm actually about to go buy it over on Amazon.
or maybe i need to make an Amoeba's run!
eeek! (:
thanks for reading!
