i'm home!!!! and freakin' exhausted. more later, since i have to unpack and get ready for going back to work tomorrow. boo. it's always a bummer to go back to the office after an awesome vacation. i'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight, though.

also, johnny knoxville was on our flight back home! i saw him at the baggage claim. that's the first time i've ever had a celebrity sighting at the airport.

street scene was pretty awesome i have to say! the flaming lips did a cover of bohemian rhapsody!! that was definitely the shining moment right there. oh, so good! and wayne coyne pulled the same "coming out in a bubble" antics he did at coachella last year. and once again, i was so close i could've touched the bubble! haha. the white stripes, garbage, and death cab did not disappoint, and surprisingly (although maybe not cuz unlike jen, i do enjoy some "flavor" from time to time. haha), i really liked the black eyed peas.

also, it was a little weird watching dashboard confessional. they went on before the flaming lips, so i went over to start claiming a good spot, and it just felt strange having once known so many of those songs by heart (yes, i admit it) and now barely remembering the choruses. it's been that long. one thing i did notice, though, is that he definitely pepped up a lot of those songs. i was listening and watching, and i remember thinking to myself, this does not sound the same. it was missing all that angst...he wasn't even singing with his eyes closed! haha, i guess i'm not the only one who's outgrown this stuff. it had it's time and it's place, but now i'm happy to say that, for the most part, i'm pretty angst-free. wow, and that statement in itself is pretty weird to say...

but anyway, i should get off to finish up my packing. yay! boston and nyc, here i come!

so i guess i've pretty much given up on the recaps. i think i've just been having too much fun to care too much about stopping for a moment to write about it. does anyone even read this anymore? anyone? bueller? haha. i figure the "inner circle" knows what's going on anyway.

let me just say that i had a GREAT time at my birthday party thanks to my AWESOME friends!! those kids can really make a girl feel special. awwww.

also, in the past two weeks or so since the last post, i've gone to see billy corgan at the henry fonda (which was really good...i CAN'T WAIT til the pumpkins come back!!!), royksopp and basement jaxx at the hollywood bowl (another great outside summer show at the bowl), and just last night i FINALLY saw a proper beck show. oh, beck! i heart you. it was fucking awesome! everything i dreamed of and more. haha. it was a lot of fun, with some crazy stage antics going on and a really fucking great acoustic version of "debra." oh, so good!! and our seats were actually pretty good, so jen and i had a great view of our beloved beck. yay!

and coming up next week is street scene! i'm excited about the bands i'll be seeing although i wish the timing on this thing was a little different. i'll pretty much get back from that to immediately leave again for my boston/ny trip. i'm excited about both trips although i feel weird about being gone from home for three weekends in a row. oh well, i'm sure i'll be over it by the time i'm shopping at h&m with my birthday gift certificate!! yesss!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

yes, i am officially old. but hey, yet another excuse to party. yay!!

thanks to all you guys who have sent happy birthday wishes my way!! it has been a lovely day indeed. and i'm excited for birthday bowling tonight! haha...by the time this is over, i think i will have accomplished a full week of birthday celebrating, a la joe style. last weekend's events weren't officially for my birthday, but it kind of all runs into each other. tubing on sunday was a LOT of fun (despite the joe incident), and i didn't totally bite it in the rapids like i did last year (although i still had a few problems at the end getting out). but still, good times! and then monday was another beer pong bbq! with fireworks! how can you go wrong?!!! tonight is bowling, and then saturday is the big birthday bash! woo-hoo! lots of good stuff. it's the big 2-5, ya know? gotta do it BIG! =)

so last weekend turned out to be really good, despite the bullshit leading up to it (you all know what i mean). it started out with a short week at work and a last minute trip to san diego...which turned out to be great! no sake prom for me, but i have to say san diego wasn't a bad runner-up prize at all. the only thing of course, was that i missed my friends. but i got to see everyone when i got back on sunday and we all went to the hollywood bowl for a picnic and a show. and THAT was soooo much fun! it wasn't the same seeing arcade fire from so far away, but it was still good in it's own way. honestly, most of the actual show is kind of a blur, cuz i ended up getting a *little* tipsy. haha, just a little, though. ;) and anyway, i was mostly enjoying the company.

so now this work week is almost over as well, and i have yet another long weekend to enjoy! yay! good ol' fourth of july. not only providing a paid day off of work and an excuse to drink and celebrate, but also kicking off my birthday week! yep, i'm turning the big 2-5 (or as i've taken to calling it, my quarter-life crisis). haha. anyway, i did squat shit for my birthday last year, so this year i'm kinda making a big deal out of it. i hope it's good!

ladies and gentlemen, this moment needs to be documented. last night i achieved a new, all-time highest bowling score: 164!!! AND i also got a turkey! three strikes in a row, baby! i've never done that before! i'm so proud of myself. i acknowledge that this is probably a total fluke, but whatever. i'll bask in the moment! =)

also, thanks to the witnesses of this fine, fine event (lo, jenopoulos, adam, and tinna) for all the props!
