My Saturday.... My weekend

Soooo.... if you read my last post, I spoke about how I was seeing Dog Bite Money, on Saturday. I ended up going, yesterday I wasn't feeling it at first... but, I pushed through, made last min. plans w/ my best friend, Audrey! And, she came with me. She was suppose to see this guy she has a thing with, Sean, or, she was going to see her two friends, Rachel and Sarah, who are twins, but.. just for me, she  cancelled with the rest, and went out of her way for me. Which was SO nice!! I was so happy she ended up coming, her and I are so much alike, it's kind of scary. AND she loves Classic Rock music, just as much as I do!! It was funny, when her and I made plans, I was telling her how I LOVE this song, that Dog Bite Money, sings, from the band QUEEN, called "FAT BOTTOM GIRLS" and, i'm like.. do you know that song?? and, she said "YOU MAKE THE ROCK AND WORLD GO ROUND" and, i'm like, well... alrighty. I love it! Her and I can seriously complete each other sentences. I been wanting to bring her, to one of the gigs, for quite sometime. and, I'm so glad she decided to come. I think she is happy she ended up coming as well. And, I asked my parents, who they like out of all my friends, and besides my friend Brian, of course, they like Audrey (out of all my girl/friends) and, I couldn't agree. She is such a good friend.

So, her and I ooVoo'ed basically, while we were getting ready. and, we left my house around 7:32 or so, and went and picked her up. She lives about 15 mins away, in old bristol, which is technically border line of Bristol Boro, and Bristol Township she is technically in the township, though. and, her street looks so different at night! She almost lives, at a dead end, and at the end of her street, there is a little cul de sac, and, I seriously just noticed it. Lol, I've always been at her house, when it was light out. I guess I never went down that far, down her street.

So, we picked her up... and, we drove an hour.. and it was nice, just talking, catching up, her and my dad just meeting each other, and singing. Good times! How my dad drives, it took about 45 mins to an hour to get there. I read the directions to my dad this time. The last time we went to Tom's Bar, my mom read the directions.. and, read the miles wrong, so, we ended up taking longer for that one, and had to end up back tracking. But, it went smoothly this time. We got there about 9 o clock, and it started at 9:30, it was pretty packed. There were NO tables, or seats, we ended up standing. We said Hi to Freddy, and Steve. And, we ended up seeing Figgy's sister there, Donna, and, ended up catching up. Finally got to meet her Nephews.. one was my age, 20, and, he had a beer in his hand, was drinking, and ended up walking around, all over the place. If he wanted to drink, he should have been more discreate, but, it's none of my business. Audrey and I are 20, as well, but we weren't drinking. Technically, at Tom's, we aren't even allowed to be there. On the sign, before entering, it says NO ONE, under the age of 21 is permitted to come inside. Oops.. they didn't card, so, that is their problem. so, we caught up with some people, and was there for about a half hour or so.  and, since it was crowded... we left for about an hour, we drove about 15 mins away, to a pizza place. I forget the name, but, it started with a "P" and, we got 2 cheese steaks, everyone got a half of one, and we got a medium pizza. I liked the cheese steak, it was pretty cheesey! It was with prevlone cheese, and fried green peppers and onions! The pizza was okay, not the greatest. I'm not the kind of person who likes cheese on her pizza.. I like tomatoe pie, but, everyone had about 2 slices of pizza. I had one piece of pizza, then I shared the other half with my mom. I don't like the beginning of the pizza, where the triangle is. Usually there is more cheese down there.... I just like toward the middle, and the crust. Not too much cheese, although, I picked a huge glob  of cheese off of the pizza anyway.

After an hour, of relaxing, eating, and talking some more... we ended up going back to Tom's, by 10:30. It was even more packed, then it was, when we got there! So, we stood. Still no tables, or chairs were avaliable.. by 11:05 I believe, we found seats. and, they ended up singing the Birthday song, by the beatles. Then, I think they started singing, sweet caroline, or something by bon jovi. I think Audrey said they started singing "You give love a bad name" but, i'm NOT too sure. Neither of us were sure.. but, freddy was singing, and Audrey loved the song, and was jamming out, and she actually held the mic with Freddy, and him and her sang. and, it was for about a good 2 mins, and then after they sang, he kissed her forehead, then he walked around for about a min, then he came back near us, and, he gave me a side hug =) I was too stupid, to get a picture of them singing together! =( We were too much in the moment. It was so fun though. They really liked Audrey! I guess they can tell her, and I were close!

Hmm, soo... close to 12, they started singing suspicious minds, by the KING! (Elvis) and, my dad told me to dance with him, i'm not much of a dancer, but Audrey and I danced in our seats and we were like "grinding on each other" lmao! I rubbed my tittayssss all over her ;) ! But, so him and my mom actually ended up dancing, instead. As you see by the picture, below.... and, it was so cute! That is their song, they always dance to that one anyway!! and, after that song, I forget what other one came on, but some guy asked my mom to dance with her and she was like NO! I'M MARRIED! and, then he asked Audrey, she said No, i'm good! (he must have been at least 35 years old) then, he asked me. and, I pointed to my dad and said THAT'S MY DAD! and he went like O_O oh no! no! i'm sorry! and, he walked away.. came back, and said COME DANCE WITH ME BABY! Winked at me, and rubbed my arm.. and i'm like i'm good, and pushed him away. Then he like humped me. =/ Then, he finally found some weird looking tramp, who was about 55, so  they grinded instead. lmao. and, then some dude, who was probably close in our age range, like jerked off to Audrey, and then she was like OMG CAN WE LEAVE NOW! Then, a half hour later.. he came back, and he like humped her. lmao!! and, I tried to explain to her that 1) he was drunk, he had a beer in his hand and, 2) I believe MOST guys get a horny sentation when their drunk. lmao, I know my friend Randy, and Nick does. ANYWAY, that's beside the point. It was just really fucking funny.

 And, since Figgy wasn't there, there was this man there, and he was with his girlfriend, he was really drunk, and he was clapping, singing, and he did ALL the emotions that figgy did! Although, he wasn't "hard" core, looking, and he had no beard. But, he acted just like him! It was funny!

Then, they took a break, and Chris FINALLY came over, and said hello to me. and, he said "I SEE YOU CUT YOUR HAIR, I LIKE IT. YOU LOOK NICE" I was like WHOA! and, I love Chris, he is very down to earth, and he is spectular at remember peoples names! I brought my friend Dana, twice, and he remembered her name from the previous time.. and she was astounded. and, at the end of the night, he actually said to Audrey "It was nice meeting you Audrey, PLEASE COME BACK!!" But, when  he met Audrey, i'm like "This is my friend Audrey!" and, although I can be loud.. I guess he didn't hear me, and he looked at Audrey and was like O_o, what is your name? LOL!! and she was like Audrey. and, he said... Ah...ah..udrey? and, she is like Yes. lol!! So, I guess he just wanted to be sure. But, even though he drinks, he has a good memory! and, at the end when I was saying by to Tim, he is too cute, although My mom, Audrey, and myself, were saying goodbye.. my mom was talking to  Tim, and he was looking at me the whole time.. i'm like, yo buddie.. she is talking to you, not me! lol!! but, he seriously gave me 4 hugs. and, i'm like "Thank you so much for always having us" and, he is like "why are you thanking me!???? Thank YOU for coming! and, being great fans!!!"



So, I had a pretty good night. Except, I thought that it ended at 1AM, and it wasn't until 1:30, but, by the time we got out of there.. it was close to 2AM or, 2:15, because they did a few extra songs, and, we were saying goodbye to everyone in the band, and our friends we met there!! and, We didn't get home until, I believe 3:30ish, after we dropped Audrey off. We were all like sleeping in the car, and we were discussing apartments and stuff, and we were all a little grumpy. hahaha and at 4:30ish, I went to bed at the latest, and, I got up at 9:30AM, had breakfest, cleaned some, and got my shower at 11:45AM this morning, and I was DONE by 1PM, and I cleaned up and everything. I'm seriously on a roll. It is 5 of 2PM right now, and I have my cousin's graduation today. and, We will be a little late, i'm a little nervous, because some people can be asshole's in my family, and I'm so tired! Have you ever been so tired that you do stuff you normally wouldn't do? And, that you don't even sweat. And your too tired you can't en go pee... Well, that is me last night, but even worse right now. I have a feeling I'll be sleeping good, tonight. but, i'll write more.. later.. Hopefully tonight, but if not deff. Tomorrow!! and, keep you all posted on how it all goes.



If you read all of this, god bless your soul! I hope you enjoyed, and I hope you had a good weekend yourself (=

Hypothesis on this Weekend

So, does anyone else sometimes have a pretty productive weekend ahead of them? Where, you have a few events to attend? Yet, your excited and nervous, all in one? Well, that is how I am feeling right now. Very anxious. I don't know why I get like this... I guess, to see how fun (or, how well) everything will turn out in the end. I'll be seeing a lot of people this weekend.  and, when I know I will be seeing a lot of people, I get a little nervous.  I guess, I just don't want to make myself look like an idiot... and, trip.. and break a hip. Because, with my luck... anything is possible.

First off, let me tell you what I have planned for Saturday.. I am not ENTIRELY sure, what is going on for Saturday, yet, it is pretty up in the air right now. Things were being discussed and we (as in, My mom, myself, and my dad... and my uncle [[my dad's brother]] may tag along) may go to dinner, and then go see this band tomorrow night called 'Dog Bite Money' AKA 'DBM' they are a garage band, ranging from 40 years old to 52 years old. They play class rock music. They're pretty awesome! What nice men.

Lead Singer- Fred Geller (Who I call Freddy, but everyone else spells it Freddie)
Guitar- Chris Moran
Bass- Timothy Hoffecker (Who I call Timmy)
Drums- Steve Yosko


They been together for about 10 years now or, 11. I've seen them several times, over the years.. but, July of 2011, I decided to be an idiot, I recorded a LOT of their songs, when they played at the Italian Festival (I'm Italian), with the last name Romano... who would've guessed? ;), and, I made a video for them, on youtube. And, in this video, I said "I would so bang the lead singer he looks just like Steven Tyler!" Yes, I would like to state that isn't a VERY wise decision. I just took that video down, the other day... only took me, about 6 months! Hahaha. HOPEFULLY they forgot, all about it! I do think Freddy is a very handsome man, and, he acts and looks like Steven Tyler, in my opinion. But, after that video... I got a lot of attention, and at their next gig, and, it was at a Carnival at the Limerick fire house. and, I'll never forget it... It was one of the BEST days, of my life! Although, at that point in my life, I was going through some really hard times. But, It was July 15th, 2011. and, around 10:30PM or so, They started to play "Walk this way" By Aerosmith, and, I am a HUGE Aerosmith fan! (As I started in the previous  video from when they played at the Italian Festival) And, freddy likes Aerosmith, too! So, they started playing, walk this way... and, he had a cordless mic (as usual) and, he was walking around and dancing, as he was singing, and I saw him walk down the center of the tables, down the isle, and, I thought he went toward the back of the crowd (well, while I was texting... my twitter... saying OMG YAY DBM IS SINGING AEROSMITH) and, it was the verse where, "I gave her just a little kiss... like this." Freddy came up from behind me, when there was a pause in the music, put his arm on my right shoulder, and kissed my left cheek. and, I was SUPRISED I was like O_O and, I turned BRIGHT RED. As freddy proceeded to go back near the stage.... I looked up, and the guitar player, and Freddy giggled to themselves. I died and gone to heaven. But, from that day forward... I feel like a huge idiot, because Freddy is married, and, I believe he has a son and a daughter, who are close in my age range. and, I've spoken to his wife, at some of these events! I hope she doesn't think i'm some home wrecker, because i'm really now. It was more of a joke, and, I didn't mean anything by it. I wouldn't go through with actually "banging" him, I just think he is like ADORABLE. and, such a great guy!

And, back in November, we were at The Sand Trap, and, I brought my friend Dana with us to come see them, for the second time, and freddy was singing Summer of 69' by Bryan Adams, and I think it was also maybe around 10:30 or so, and, at this verse, freddy grabbed my hand, and we held hands, and he sang this part:

"Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life"

It was so romantic!! haha... although i'm 20, i'm so cheesy, and, i'm such an old soul when it comes to a lot of stuff. I seriously get so excited, over the LITTLEST things!

It's funny, because the Drummer, and the Bass player... didn't start talking to us, until the end of October/Beginning of November.

Tomorrow, January 28th, will be there FIRST show, of the year!

So, as some of you can see, this is why I get a little nervous, when I go to these events.
But, it should be nice... i'm hoping we get a nice warm welcome. All of them there, always hug me, and kiss me! I made a few friends at these events too, which is  always nice. You can NEVER have too many friends! =) Everyone is so laid back up there. It is such a different environment, I love it. One day, I hope to maybe move up there. Only about 45 mins, to an hour away. If I even dare, to strike up a conversation, with people here...  like I do out there, they look at me, like I have 8 heads.. and 17 toes!

And, for Sunday, my older cousin, Michael, he will be having his graduation party. He graduated from Temple, and, I think he took a job... i'm thinking, in Florida, but, I could be wrong! Hopefully i'll find out tomorrow. I think he is going to do something, like accounting. I'm happy for him. It will be at the fire house, near his dad's house... I'm assuming his mom will be there, I haven't seen her since Ashley's graduation party, in July of 2010. and, I believe it's at the fire house that his step brother works at. I could be wrong.. hopefully it'll be fun. I am not entirely sure, if this party is for just the family, or if some of his friends will be there as well. I'm wondering if Hutch will be there! Which is, his "girlfriend" but, for, quite sometime, they took a break.. but they're adorable together. and, she is such a sweetheart. Things happen, and I know for awhile they were not on speaking terms, but I am glad they are again! It would be nice to see her, I believe, the last time I saw her was at the Christmas party, at Uncle Mike's house, in 2009. Ashley will be going... her and I have been texting this week, we don't always agree, so.. hopefully she doesn't shoot me dirty looks and hopefully everything is just hunky dory, the last thing I would ever want to do, is start anything. With her, or anyone really for that matter! I'm not about drama. I hate drama. I just get very urked, when someone trys to tell me what to do, it's my life. I do as I want. and, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I love texting her every single day! but, at the same time.. I don't think we should text a whole lot, so, that way, when we see each other.. it's not awkward, and, we can actually talk about stuff, in person, that way, as well. I am actually thinking of deleting majority of my dad's side of the family, off of facebook. I see them, much more, then I see my mom's side, so, they don't need to see what I am doing all the time. Although, I don't really make many posts on what I am doing, and, I may post a song lyric, or a quote down, maybe twice a week, or something. But, still, My aunt and I actually had a conversation, at the Christmas party about a month ago, and she was saying how she refuses to add like my mom, or anyone (she only adds her nieces, or nephews) FOR that reason, so family don't have to talk over technology, but they can call.... or, write a letter, or just talk in person. So, that way, it is more interesting, and not all boring when we see each other, which, I totally agree. Because, it's ashame, all my cousins at Christmas parties.. or any events, whip out our cellphones, or laptops, and just sit there, quitely, texting our friends, or whatever. And, it's awkward! It's been awkward for years. I am a very sociable, girl, and my cousins aren't. I mean they are, but just among their friends. They don't socialize with family much. A friend, of the family, actually commented me recently, and said "What happeend to your cousins? They're not social-able, and you are. I feel as if they are the rude ones." and, to an extent, I can see where she is coming from. and, I couldn't agree more at times.

So, hopefully this weekend will be a good one. Hopefully it wont be awkward. But, I tend to make things awkward sometimes... I just make some faces sometimes (that I don't mean to make, I just do, without realizing it) and, I think I give off the wrong impression. Like, when I'm just relaxing, and chillin'... people take it the wrong way, and, think i'm tired. but, it happens, I will defiantly keep everyone posted on how it turns out. I actually downloaded the app, for blogger, on my phone. So, If it comes down to it..... and, I have no one to text, and all my cousins whip out their phones, i'll just blog from my phone! I know, I tend to make a LOT of updates, on twitter, when I am out for the weekend like this. I may annoy everyone.. but, I just want to update everyone, in real time. ;)

but, I hope you all have a fantastic weekend as well. I am not sure If I will blog, again, this weekend, since it will be pretty eventful, so, that is why I am just writing a fairly long blog at the moment. To make up for it! If you have any plans.. please leave me a comment! I would love to hear about it!
