Why yes, yes I would! In fact I'm drinking Lindemans Pinot Noir ($4.99 on sale, thank you very much!)
Ok, it's my turn to whine. I know that it isn't necessary for me to spew out apologies for my cry-babyness, but I am sorry ahead of time that this post might seem like a BIG FAT DOWNER. I know deep down that my bloggy besties will "get it"...on some level or another, and for that...I love ya.
First things first:
I did
NOT get Jimmy Kimmel Tix. Please cue Lykke Li's "
Possibility." I knew it was like a 1 in a Twizillion chance, but I really got my hopes up. I seriously feel like I could cry. I wanted it sooo bad. I went to check my account status like I have done every 5 min for the past 4 days...only to see it still said "2 tickets pending" then a big fat
"SOLD OUT" next to it. They did say to check back for cancellations, which you better believe I'll do!
If it was just that (lack of JK tix) I might be ok, but it's the culmination of things. As some of you know, I'm a hotel Concierge. I have been for the past 10 years. Last year our whole desk was outsourced. Basically it means another company
(very popular 3rd party hotel/flight booking agency) bought the rights to our desk. Although I was able to technically remain a Concierge & transition with them...my pay is quite a bit less. My hourly dropped a couple of dollars, but I kept my chin up with the promise of good commission - this soooo isn't the case. I make quite a bit less, & it's all about selling and a lot less about being a Concierge. As soon as I realized this, I started looking for another job. At first I thought I could be picky...but with the severe demand for jobs nowadays, I wasn't hearing back from anyone. It's been a year now and I still haven't found another job. I know, boo-hoo...at least I have a job...BUT I'm barely scraping by. I am now applying for jobs I'm less interested in, solely for the fact that they pay more.
On top of this, I need a new lap top. As I speak, my screen is floppy and now my keyboard seems to all of a sudden have a thorn up it's ass. My parents and s/o were gracious enough to give me some $$$ to put towards a new lap top for my b-day, but I had to be realistic and put it in my savings account...since that has slowly been drained. Now that I'm passionate about this blog, I fear this "thing" taking a big shit on my head.
Going back to Twi-stuff for a bit...I SOOO want to go to the Twi Convention in LA. Like...bad.
To see these 2.....er.....3 peeps on one stage answering questions would, in my opinion, be mind-blowing.
New Eclipse Banner (isn't it a poster?)[source]...But have you seen the ticket prices?!? IF & only IF they release much cheaper tix for Sat evening (when the Twifecta will be there) I'd consider going. Heck, it's only a 2 hour drive North, and I could just drive home the same night..
Speaking of Los Angeles, have I mentioned that
100 Monkeys are playing at The Roxy on May 28th? Yup! But, ES & I aren't' going. It's an all ages show (no offense,) and we figure they're bound to play the Viper Room (21 & up) sometime in June, what with Jackson in town for Eclipse promotions....If we didn't see them, it wouldn't be the end of the world since we have seen them 4 times... but UGH...the shows are sooooooo fun!
Lastly....I really really really really really wanna go to:
FOORRRRRKKKKKKSSSSSSSSS!"Forks...
or bust!"
-J
I want to go to Forks like a fat kid wants cake. It's become so much less about going to the place that inspired SM while writing Twilight, and more about wanting to meet all of YOU. Each and everyone of you is so important to me. On top of that, I want to party like a rock star with my bloggy besties! Can you blame me?
I'm not sure if this is LKW or JJ...maybe it's texaskatherinejk bitches *muah*
My Forks Motel room is reserved...did that A LONG TIME AGO. Basically because I'm not an idiot and I know hotels sell out...BUT, no flight. I can't afford it right now, and that DAMN Mother F*cker of a conscience wont justify me putting it on my credit card. F*ck you conscience! Speaking of Forks...if you like the shirt above and want to donate to a needy cause
(us going to Forks) visit my
Cafe Press Store! Or click the pic on the right hand side of our blog.
Wrapping this up...I do have a
whole lot to be thankful for...and I think since I'm in a pissy mood
(and it's NOT Thanksgiving) I'll save it for another post.
XOXO J
