The month of May has come and gone with such speed that I'm not sure it even happened.
Bamboozle ushered in the month and subsequently, a lot of life goals were achieved. I saw Journey, No Doubt, The Ataris, GWAR, Anti-Flag, Gavin Rossdale & Edna's Goldfish. I got so sunburned I was sick for a week as my skin literally peeled away from my body. I took out one amazingly annoying 14 year old girl with an expertly swung elbow, went on my first ferris wheel & had a general blast with Becky & Falcone & fannypacks. ->
<- Memorial Day weekend found me back in New Jersey for Juan's Super Kwanzaa spectacular. After not drinking for weeks I decided it was a good idea binge; soon I was stealing flowers from outside of Shop Rite and having to figure out how to alleviate the spins when already on the floor. Don't get me wrong, it was one of the best times I've had in a while but the ensuing 2 day hangover nearly sent me to an early grave.
Interspersed was massive amounts of school work, my friends all graduating from Pace, finally meeting Katieboyce's family, a Schmidt family babyshower and I'm sure a plethora of other things that are well documented on my TWITTER page. It's called micro-blogging for a reason, afterall.
I should probably also mention that I turned 23. What a terrible age, but it was definitely the best birthday I've had in a really long time. Odd because it was coupled with bon voyage, but good none the less. Cosmic Diner on the 26th with my Ya Ya sisters followed by birthday cake we didn't even bother to cut, just took forks to was absolutely brilliant and I hate that I'm leaving them for most of the summer. On the 27th (my actual birthday) I had a delicious nap on the LIRR as I made my way out to Long Island to go see some regional theatre with my parents. The show was an absolute trainwreck and making fun of the poor falling tap dancers provided endless entertainment. Saturday, my parents threw me a family party that left me feeling pretty loved. To think, I still have birthday shenanigans with Stacey to look forward to this week.
I leave for Germany on Saturday and I am BUGGING out. I can't believe this is all happening. I have so much to get done still, or at least I feel like I do. My host family got switched last week and I'm now in a 4 person household and they have another host child from Brazil staying with them as well. BRAZIL!! She's bloody Brazilian. Great. She's going to be gorgeous and fluent by the time I arrive and there's not going to be enough Euros in all of Kassel to pay for the therapy I'll be needing.
