Spring is here...wait is that snow?

Hola!

I'm back from spring break and ready for these next 6 weeks to fly by. My break was a nice, relaxing trip home. I got to hang with my favourite person in the world: my sister, Amanda! We spoke in Aussie slang, visited the OG, went to the movies and oh yeah got new tattoos! A lucky number 5 for her wrist and a nice outline of Australia for my arm. These hold more meaning to each of us than you could ever realize. Anyway, after visiting some friends, family, and watching Friends on Nick @ Nite and Kourtney and Kim Take Miami it was time to come back to the city. Unfortunately a small blizzard covered STL and my flight was delayed 13 hours. This essentially led to:

  • waking up at 3am to get to the airport for my 7am flight on time
  • having a nice 5 minute layover in one of my favourite cities: Chicago
  • making it back to New York just in time for my last 2 classes of the day.

Exhilirating, right? Wrong. I'm living off of 2 hours of sleep and I think I'm going to bed in 5 minutes. However, I felt it was necessary to catch up with my life on here.

P.S. I can't wait for the amazing tours that are bound to happen this summer!!

Get Some

It's been awhile since my last post.

I'm finally back in lovely Missouri and I'm trying not to take any of it for granted. So far I've been home for 13 days and I've already had (literally) a few of the best moments of my life. More on that later.

While my sister and I (im)patiently await a new Sick Puppies tour, we are busy finding a rebound band. It turns out, that band is Chevelle. After the awkwardness that was St. Patty's day with Janus, we decided to check out our new friends in Chevelle at the Blue Note in Columbia. First we had to sell the Incubus tickets for the same night that we had already bought...which was a problem in itself.

Me and my sister at our home (concert club).

5/22 eventually arrived and we ended up having an absolutely wretched time in line all day. Luckily, our Aussie merch girl Hayley (Sam's wife) came through for us with VIP passes. During the show, Dean was talking to me through the microphone about his refrigerator that I broke...after the show, we ended up hanging out with the Chevelle guys on the bus. Instead of describing all that happened there, I'll just sum it up to: Peter sang and danced a broadway tune for us because we are sisters; and we ended up walking off the bus with some bananas, Easy Cheese whiz, and monster energy from the bus cupboards. (Thanks Dean).

This is me. I look more than rough. Rough pit. Long night. Don't care. Just call me DEADPAN.

Right now, Amanda and I are painstakingly planning out our summer to go ahead and do a tour (if possible), KV13, and Vegas. Maybe we'll even finally make it to San Bernardino. Who knows?

Also, we saw Janus. So over it. #JS #DS

Sidenote: Although I didn't directly reference it in this, fate played a huge part in this day. If you don't believe in fate then you're an idiot. Seriously. All I'm saying is "Get Some."
