i. cannot. take. this. heat. anymore....and im in front of the fan with my hair up in shorts and a cut up shirt.
please let it raiiiinnn!!!!
any who, looong weekend! and im sooooo thankful for that! i did a 12.5 hr shift yesterday and i was beat by the time i got home...but i didnt go to sleep til almost 1 am. i slept great!
i had a dream that i was wearing a cut up turtleneck and i felt like i was suffocating so i was trying real hard to take it off in my dream but every time i'd try to tug it, it would get tighter. finally i said screw it and i yanked it off. normal random dream right?
apparently it translated to real life because i woke up without a shirt. lol. i knew i was doing it to myself while i was dreaming it (makes sense?) but i didnt care because it was so effin hot! gah!
anyone live somewhere where its currently raining and cold? want to foster me for a week. i miss rain!! ill be quiet and i wont eat (your food anyways.) haha
lets get to it while i slowly meeelt!

yesterday after work, well actually, back it up. at work, while scanning i came up with the perfect happy birthday banner to make for my sister but i needed fringe scissors. i looked it up on amazon and they were $10. they actually went up. so i thought let me go to Michael's!
boom! i got a 40% off coupon so i got these for $8 and change! woohooo!
now i just need tape to create my masterpiece! (diy coming soon! well after October cus i dont want her to see.) i cant wait!!!

i love my keys!....erm accessories.
i dont know about you but im not a huge fan of key chains. i mean i am but i HATE when people have 1 key and 3458738475 random key chains. but these 4! (:
my wagaware charm: i LOVE dogs!!! love love looove em if you didnt already know. i found this organization that helps dogs. i actually found them on instagram and the other day they had a post where they had found a lot of puppies in a mill all mistreated and hurt and ugh! so they were selling their tag with all the proceeds heading to the mill to foster the puppies and clean them and nurture them back to a healthy state.
for every tag you purchase, they donate %50 of the sales to help out dogs. they cost $16 and change with taxes included and shipping is free.
i could have put it on my dogs collar but shes currently protesting it so i thought id wear it proudly on my key chain. support if you can! (:
my Disneyland key chain: i love Disneyland but their stuff is ridiculously over priced. but when i saw this key chain I HAD TOO!!!! it comes with a mickey key however, that thing friggin fell off like two days later so i just attached it higher. (see what i mean? i dont mind paying but if you're going to over charge then make sure your product is top notch!) either way i love it! best $8 ive ever spent!!!! i love seeing it on my key chain.
my coachella kandi: (i hate that its spelled like that!) i got that at Coachella 13 when i gave some group of girls 2 waters and a gatorade, they were soooo dehydrated! they paid me $5 and then another girl of the group did that peace love unity thing and gave it to me! i was sooo happy!!!! since then, its been on my keys and i think it forever will be.
wendys: cant beat a free jr frosty! got it for a dollar and it just keeps on giving! lol

did you guys ever pass around notes in high school shaped all sorts of different ways?
i did!!! i went to go eat burgers with my brother last night (curse you Gilmore Girls) and i dont know why i got the sudden urge to see if i still remembered how to fold one. low and behold, i still got it.
then i left it on the table while we ate and my brother noticed something.
take a look and see if you spot it!*

the lady that lives with us is out on vacation so im "house sitting" meaning id rather be in solitude in her place than in the mess that is my house at the moment.
so nice to watch tv in peace. sleep in peace. have weird dreams (see above lol) in peace!!!

i went to jacks and asked for no pickles no onions because i hate them.
apparently that makes me a meat lover!

Thursday nights are Carino's night with the usual crew: monique, ollie, esme, tony, the 49's dude, i and this particular Thurs, karen.
cant be $.25 c wings, $2 basket of fries and $5 margaritas.
this Thursday was special though. i have never seen a group of people head scratch over how to split the bill as i hard as i did that night. and that poor waiter. on man! funny funny night!

do you believe in signs? im starting to think i do. the number 317 has been poppin up everywhere for me.
and as we all know, the Simpsons marathons on FXX has been on for about a month now.
the one and only time i tune in i catch the episode where RHCP comes out. what are the chances!?
i dont expect you to understand what this means and its okay i guess. we need a little mystery between us ;) but seriously, these 2 things; make it happen or let it go.

read in like an hour!
red nail polish!
i waited, it arrived and i've read it!
i actually went through it at work.
i love that a lot of the pictures (at least to me) remind me of an Ikea catalog with the blurry people in a beautiful organized place.
i loved a lot of the ideas in the book and i've tabbed several myself that i would love to try in my soon to move in to room but if im being honest, i wish they had more diy's, more detailed ones.
its a lot of photography in this book and while a lot of ideas are very easy to grasp i wouldve love to see more in depth stuff.
either way, i love it and i cant wait to get started on those few that i did like and blog about em here!
i love these galls and their blog! theres nothing these ladies wont put out that i wont want to have for myself! (hurry up Emma and release a cook book!!!! or an e course!)

| i have no idea who these people are, i just wanted a picture of the FYF sign that i didnt think to get til i was running out of the gate trying to find J. |
aaaahhh!!!
the weekend came and went and it was great!
FYF, you were okay and then i saw The Strokes and you were AMAZAZING!
here are a few pictures...for some reason i wasnt in to taking a million pictures like i always am.
first and foremost, THE ONLY REASON i went to FYF!
THE STROKES!!!!
{{i should also note that i bought this shirt for $25 and then proceeded to tear it up at 130am!}}
im pretty sure you've caught on by now that they are my favorite band!!!!
Little Dragons
they were the first band we caught Saturday at The Lawn stage.
we found the poop!!!!
on the map we had, there was an emoji picture of a poop, a cat and a ghost.
i thought the ghost would probably be a 'snapchat vendor hey hang out with us in our booth' kind of thing so i didnt bother about the poop or cat.
then while making line for my beer, we saw this girl had taken a picture of the poop so when we found out it was an actual thing, we set off to find it but to be honest we found it on accident because we had forgotten about it.
i think this was the Phoenix set on Saturday. we didn't stay long. J wasn't feeling em and i heard the one song i really love plus i'd already seen em at coachella so we left.
we ended Saturday night in the Arena and we caught the middle of DJ Harvey.
man, it was awesome! it was a huge dance party. there was a flamingo (fake of course) bobbin around, people were dancing, i was in heaven and Jonathan looked bored out of his mind. haha.
Saturday, man little dragon didnt play til 6. reason they were the first ones we caught was because the line to get in was INSANE!!! we waited at least almost 3 hrs just to get in. it was a mess. luckily Sunday was a different story.
// good thing about my sister having her car finally: designated pick up and drop offs!!!
#winning! //
we found the cat right away on Sunday. they moved its spot because it was right at the entrance this time! wooohoo!

| meeting place in case and for when we got separated. (spoiler: we didnt because homeboy HAD to go get a hot dog out on the street)  J getting choked by Josh Barnett. apparently he's an MMA fighter or something like that. i dont know. it was pretty cool to see J have a total fan girl moment. HA!   i forgot who we caught Sunday in the beginning other than Balance & Composure but afterwards we got food. J got tacos that according to him were sent from heaven and i got a sandwich that according to him was boring. i sort of agree, i could have made a better one but i didn't want ANYTHING fried! i was over it! i kept talking about Donut Friend being there and he finally caved (for every "bad thing" he ate, i had to hear him complain about how it was bad for his body!) he got the bacon 182 and he scarfed it down before i even had the chance to take a picture. i got the white stripes something, i almost walked away but came back for it and it has been the best life decision i have EVER made!!! so delicious! i still have a $15 donut friend gift-card so im going back! how good was it? i gave jonathan a bite aaaand he ate almost 1/2 of it! .-. haha  |
after we stuffed our faces. dude passed out at the charging station for a good hour i believe, i caught two acts in the process of him sleeping. luckily he found a chair (that i didnt understand why he decided to take with him til we go to the charging station) and i ended up stealing from him so i was good.
the picture above was when settled at the trees waiting for i forgot what band. i snapped it, sent it to scnapchat world then said my goodbyes to J. i was getting close as heck to The Strokes. they didnt play until 10:30.
i left at 6pm. it was already too late! :'(
sun setting for blood orange.
i had no idea who that was but man! they (he? im not sure if its just the dude or the band) were amazing!!! peeeerfect! (look em up on spotify! you wont regret it!)
during blood orange this small opening happened and although i was pretty close it got me a lot closer. then they went off and crowd got ready for Haim. i got pushed soooo up front that i was stuck with my hands in the air for a good couple of minutes.
then i remembered the amazing time i had dancing to the red hot chili peppers at coachella in the back and i left. but i was also bribed with beer so you know; priorities.
THIS is the only picture i took of The Strokes. yep. just the one. and this video that technically i didnt record.
after leaving j, i went by myself, met up with another friend and his friend. he bought me a couple of beers, i got a good buzz and i ended up meeting with Z. haha. he took this video and im the one that cut it short because i just wanted to have fun.
usually when i go to a concert, no matter how bad i want to go to said concert, im always ready to call it a night. yep, thats me. they started playing and from the very moment they started i was in heaven. i sang, i jumped, i danced, i yelled, i screamed. ugh! it was utter HEAVEN!!!!
i wasnt even looking at the stage the whole time. i was singing to everyone around me. this was by far the best i have ever been too!!!!
they started with Barely Legal (everyone went nuts!) and ended with Last Night (z left then) and they came back once more with New York City Cops. (set list here) their set to me flew by! i knew when they were over before their encore but i felt it fly super fast!
i cant even explain how happy i am. its now Wednesday and i still have a huge smile on my face!!!
out here for our festivals, CSC security always patrols so while the strokes were playing, one of em came up to me and asked if i was okay and i said yes then i told him to get me to the front. all he said was follow me! ahhh!!! being security has its perks because everyone got out of the way for him. i hooked my finger on some random dudes pants loop that was already following him and we made it pretty near once again but loops dude lost him so Z and i just went back. still very close.
my (concert) life is complete. i will DEFINITELY catch them again (and yes im still beating myself up about missing them in Vegas!!!)
goodbye FYF, til next time! :* you were fun!!!
thanks for reliving FYF with me!
i just liked how this looked.
on the way to see the Chandelier Tree, i stumbled upon some street art and knowing me by now, you know i had to stop and take some pictures.
hop on over and take a look see! (:
ha! even the fire hydrants are decorated.
this was right in front of the tree.
unless you're in to Scientology, don't bother.
I LOVE THIIIS!!!!
i saw it on the way up so on the way back i knew i had to get a picture of it!
i love how i caught the lights too. reminds me of that one Ashton Kutcher // Amanda Peet movie, A Lot Like Love.
fun leslie fact #45: i have NEVER seen the wizard of oz.
i do however, really badly, want to see Wicked!
those lights! <3
