wear me like a locket around your throat

*still the former expatiates*

soooooo. i want to do a real review/recap of my amazing weekend in atlantic city, but i'm tired and inarticulate, so let's FOBDFC trail it.

- i retrieved amber from the airport (+10)

- we didn't get lost on the way to AC/the borgata (+10)

- we were stuck waiting to check into the hotel for like six hours, because they needed to put the full amount + $125/day for incidentals on a card and i didn't have enough available balance, so we couldn't check in until kelly arrived (-10)

- spent entirely too long waiting for this to reappear onscreen so i could take a pic of it (-5), but also eeeee his face (+5)


-drank some yummy sangria (+5)

- took the jitney to the boardwalk and back, which was way more entertaining than it should've been (+20)

- brooke and kelly finally made it (+20)

- drinking, mad giggling and wacky hijinks ensued (+10)

- we didn't go to sleep (except for amber) until around 7 a.m. (-5)

- lurked around most of the day on friday, hoping to pawn off gifts on dfc and nft, which was tedious (-5)

- succeeded in giving gift to dfc (+10, would've been more but i didn't talk to him)

- wayyyyy later that night, also succeeded in giving gift to nft (+10, again points docked because i didn't talk to him)

[sidebar: me modeling neal's gift, yes, it is a beerhat which is also a cowboy hat]

- while trying not to stalk dfc, he stalked us (-/+10 so i guess that's breaking even)

- surprise!tirtzah (+10)

- tried all day to upgrade tickets from row z, waited outside the box office for HOURS, and got cockblocked by people who showed up 15 minutes before they released the tix (-100)

- i didn't cry even tho i wanted to (+10)

- wound up sneaking into row J anyway (+50)

- THE FUCKING SHOW (+200)

- B bar after the afterparty was AWESOME, i was wasted in a fun happy way (+25)

- ran into rstar at some point and drunkenly quizzed him about stuff and he was supersweet (+20)

- bought a couple rounds of shots (+10)

- cute english boy bought me a shot (+10)

- sexually harassed @RyanStar on twitter (+10?/-10?)

- late-night fries with bleu cheese dressing (+10)

TOTAL: 835+/-10 depending on if you think skanky twitters at rstar are good or bad.

i'm calling my weekend a win.

picspam later or tomorrow because there's so much pretttyyyyyyy and i wanna. in the meantime, people, where on earth is the dave/ryan?



look how cute they are!!! and please note that ryan is rocking DCTS, and look what dave had been wearing the previous day:


it writes itself, kids. someone make it happen for me! :D

i know i should probably cut this but i don't wanna. neener.

oh hai bbs hai! in case anyone doesn't have twitter/doesn't follow my twitter and was concerned about my, y'know, being alive *waves to lara*, i'm fine! XD i spent a few days with my lovely bff during which we made couscous and cupcakes and bought new underwear and watched rent and hedwig and my so-called life. win all around, i would say.

i have two episodes left of buffy and it's breaking my heart, tbh. also, i tried to resist because i lovelovelove buffy/angel and also i'm stubborn, but spike and buffy kind of kill me all over. the two of them in that house in "touched"? my HEART!

saw idol last night. yawn. i hated almost everyone, and even danny (who i think is absolutely adorable) underwhelmed me and was waaaaaaay overpimped, imo. and wow, what a lot of sucktastic song choices. i miss dfc on my tv every week.

speaking of mr. cook, i have to mock something on his official board for a minute. join me, won't you?

( really? )

pop quiz: why do i find this picture hilarious?


more laterrrrrr.

oh god, pardon my late-night spamming, but surprise!acoustic!dfc + drunkass!21stbirthday!kyle = amazingness.

2:20ish makes me giggle SO MUCH.

omg, perfection. twice.

hunger strike. (dave beaming at andy, ahhhh, so fucking cute!)

permanent. (i LITERALLY cannot even.)

eta: another version that's lesser quality but a tighter shot on him (the focus issues get resolved) ♥♥♥♥, and bar-ba-sol with atrocious audio but lots of arms and hips and some lolz at the end.

la la la, i'm bored and creepily myspace stalking, what up.

kyle says: i have flat dave? LOL IDK WHAT IS GOING ON.


andy says: why do i have flat dave? SIGH, MY LIFE.


neal says: OMG FLAT DAVE YAY!


( more of neal being gay for kyle and flat dave. )

i just saw kyle peek! like two rows behind rihanna! did you guys see him?!

31 icons of david cook + band.



( it's the cost of getting out of here alive. )

here goes nothing. be warned, there is somewhat epic picspam and a zillion youtubes up in this bitch.

( david cook album release ridiculousness rampage recap, part 2. featuring: angry press photogs, yet more neal fuckin' tiemann, EVEN COLDER WEATHER, and, oh yeah...that david cook gentleman we've all heard so much about. )

oh wow, i spent forever putting this together. i'm so exhausted that i can't even think. that being said, i want to say that i feel really lucky to have been able to go to this; not just because i had an absolutely amazing time, but also because it's such a huge moment in his career and i was there, you know? i wish him all the success and happiness in the world, and i hope five or ten or twenty years from now i'll be bragging about how i saw david cook on the night his first album came out in a room with 500 people. ♥

my day, summarized in three images.







*happy sigh*

recap later. or tomorrow. we'll see if i can get my brain functional.

EDIT: AHAHAHA WAIT, I JUST REMEMBERED AND HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE RIGHT NOW THAT THE BAND MADE THEIR ENTRANCE ON STAGE TO "99 PROBLEMS" AND I LOLLED SO MUCH YOU GUYS.
