Blink 182 concert

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLMjrtlXeGE

so, i really wanted to go to the Blink 182 concert, i must say i am a fan, and they are one of cj's favorite bands. the tickets were pretty expensive though. They were doing contests for free tickets on the radio station that i listen to, so i facebooked them, and asked if they were doing anymore contests. they said no, but they had extra tickets and that if i picked them up i could have them for free!
so we picked them up, and met our friends at the rose garden to wait in line. we waited for about 4 hours, but we had a good time just hanging out. when we got inside we found our seats, which were pretty good seats actually. (especially for free)
There were 2 bands before Blink, one called Chester French, they were weird but ok. and then Taking Back Sunday. They did pretty good, i havent really listened to them much before the concert, but there was this really fat girl 2 seats away from me, and she was like singing all the words and dancing and screaming the WHOLE time they were playing. it was kinda annoying (and gross)
When Blink came out though, they put on an amazing show. They loved portland, and said even though it was the smallest show of their tour so far, it was their favorite place. They had a HUGE light show thing behind them, it had 6 massive circle plasma screen things, and a ton of lights.
at the end the drummer Travis Barker (ranked one of the best skilled drummers in the world) did a drum solo, while levatating over the stage and crowd. I posted the URL to a video from the concert on youtube, i couldnt figure out how to upload it, but definitely watch it, its so cool!! :) i didnt take it, but it was better quality than all my videos. enjoy.

new dog!

His name is Lucas. I went with CJ's family to the local animal shelter, and we adopted him a few days ago. :) he was taken in a while back as a stray. They think he is a husky mixed with either Australian Shepard or German Shepard. he has a very husky like coat, and a Shepard body type.
He is 9 months old, so he is pretty big, but he still acts like a puppy. He loves to play with tennis balls and frisbees, and he can jump realllllly freaking high.
i like him :)

Renee...

My last blog was dedicated to you.
The one about the Law.

You've come a long way.

I hope things work out for you.

Troop 371

In the past few weeks, i have been to a gold award ceremony that made me relive my own troop memories,
talked to my fellow troop-mates,
and witnessed a few people around me who have needed some help, and some good advice.

i still live by this, do you?


I will do my best:

to be honest and fair,

friendly and helpful,

considerate and caring,

courageous and strong,

responsible for what i say and do,

and to:

respect myself and others,

respect authority,

use resources wisely,

make the world a better place,

and be a sister to every girl scout.

busy busy busy

im trying to see if erin or brandon or cj can bring me, but i dont know how thats looking yet. if i cant make it, ill have to make sure to take a trip down there soon!

Brandon + Hair =

bad news...


JUST KIDDING! haha.
2 days ago i let brandon cut and dye my hair. he asked me what i wanted done, and i said i didnt care, and to do whatever he wanted to with it. I had to get the ends cut off due to split ends and a paint mishap, but it all ended up pretty good.
we cut my hair a little longer than shoulder length, cut my bangs, and added a layer. the bottom layer is bright red, and we highlighted the rest of my hair with the left over dye.

so now, i have shorter, cuter hair with lots of bright red.

unfortunately i have no camera due to the fire way back when, and so i have no pictures, but i might have some tomorrow :)

Not so ugh.

Well yesterday did not go according to plan by any means. Finally after finishing what we needed to in his room we decided to shower and go to olive garden.
well right before i was going to get in the shower Nae called me. We had a long and interesting conversation, and hopefully it all works out.... :D
oh, nae,
heres the link...haha

as for the rest,

And Nae, let me know the plans!

Anyways...I spent a good while on the phone, after i got off I went in the living room, cj thought i had actually taken my shower in that time. lol. But i went and got in the shower, and then we called into olive garden so they would put our name on the waiting list.
well when we got there, there was a line of people who hadnt called...
and we went to the guy and told him we called in, and since technically we called and they had us already on the list we should already be waiting....but he basically told us no, we had to wait, even though we called in, but the line was out the door and around the corner basically. So we ended up just going back to the car, and we went home. On the way home i started crying because nothing had gone right at all the whole day.
Of course cj being the guy he is, he made me feel better and laugh right away, and we went home, picked up 6 cans, and went to red robin. I bought the drinks and onion rings, and he bought the food. I ended up spending more than i hoped to, but eh. no biggie. it wasnt that much. I got a new drink, it was bottomless and all :) it was a pomegranite peach limeaide, CJ got 2 mai tais, so i got to drive to ductch bros after that :)

When we got to dutch bros he made me pick what he got, so i got an almond joy for myself and cj got a double chocolate mocha. it was yummy. :)
when we got home we drank our dutch bros and watched Nick and Norah's infinite Playlist. When we were done with that Brandon texted us.
He was down becuase as he said "singles awareness day was getting to him" so he came over and we played mario party 8 on the wii, and then we went to sharis at like 1am.

we got home and i went to bed at 3, cj got more coffee at sharis and so he couldnt sleep, he ended up staying up till 5. we woke up today at 1:30.

so after everything sucked, I talked to Nae, I had a fun night with cj at red robin and watching the movie, and when brandon hung with us too.
