this weekend was great. although it was a treacherous drive; (a drive that was supposed to take 5 hours, took a long, nasty 9 hours to get to poughkeepsie) it was fucking worth it and i loved every second of it.

the show on friday got canceled, due to the fact that poughkeepsie was in a state of emergency. oh well... picked up my boys in DSI and it turned out that we had a room reserved at the same hotel as all the bands. so we partied all night. played a game called landmines that branden taught me and my girls... some people joined in. it was fun. (too much) went down the hall to play beer pong in JS' room. warned jack he was in for a rude awakening because he's a sore loser and i'm a sick pong player. was kicking his and his partner's ass and then we were head to head and everytime they threw the ball i would just catch them... jack couldn't handle it and declared me winner. LOL... we faught it out later on.. but it didn't last long (really, it just ended with me giving him the puppy dog face and him not being able to not laugh at me, so i won). hung out with him nearly all night... we had fun. we have fun with each other. nothing serious. just enjoying each other's company. good cuddler, though. i have no idea why i felt as nervous as i did beforehand.

although i felt like death, i was a trooper and still made it out to the show on saturday. i was more nervous walking into it than i was the night before. i literally could have thrown up all over the place. but i kept my composure. the show itself was a kick ass show... loved all the bands that were playing... it just made it for a good fucking night. it was really good seeing him. i never know what to expect or what to think when we're around each other. there was this 17yr old chick who wanted on him and he was like "excuse me, i would so go to jail. oh my god!" and the bitch got pissed off about it. i'm like "oh, ps! I got dibs anyways!" haha, sometimes i have balls... and he loved it. i'm glad that at the end of the night it was only him and i because it was probably one of the best time's i've had with him since this whole thing started. we got to know a little more about each other... we finally had an opportunity just to be real and genuine with each other. OH and! my outfit was KICK ASS... (he approved) hahaha... needless to say, i can't help but like this boy A LOT and i'm more open with him than i have been with any guy in a really long time. it almost scares me. but i'm figuring it out on my own. if it backfires, it backfires... i'm okay with that.

he taught me something this weekend... and for the most part, i've always known this, but never applied it to myself because i always felt over ruled... like nothing ever mattered and i was never, nor would i ever be good enough. but he put things into perspective for me. when he said it, it just made more sense to me.

"You're numero uno. You live for yourself. If you don't live for yourself, there is no point in anything. You live life for the moment, not the past; but for right now. You live for the present and you live for the future."

there was more to this discussion, obviously. but it was personal and it meant a lot to me... he makes me giddy. i can't help it.
