Monster Ball 2011

Just in time for Jamie's birthday, the Monster Ball came to Atlantic City. Somehow, someway Jamie found it in her heart to permit to attend with her. I'm glad she did because the seats were awesome and the night was top notch! The wind tried to blow us off the top of the car garage, but that didn't stop us from singing and dancing our hearts out. Not even the stupid people behind me telling me to sit down spoiled things. I still don't understand who goes to pop shows and expects to sit down, though. That's just stupid. It's dance music. You're supposed to dance! It's not a new trend. Point is, I LOVE THE GAGA!

RIP Chilly Willy xxoo

No matter how much time passes, some people will always live in your heart.

Jenell & the Yet-less

The Brownies had a CD release party and I was honored to be asked to be one of their openers. I hadn't played live in over a year so it was a little nerve racking. Nevertheless, it was fun. I really do miss it.

Here's a little taste from the show. This is a song by me called "Little Bit Closer". Little sloppy, but pretty good considering how long it'd been since I'd played.

PATCO in the winter time

Here we go again.

Back to school. Boo.

Oh snow is me!

Snow, snow, snow. Too much snow!

Birthday Weekend: DAY THREEEEE

As luck would have it, my friends had their monthly amateur wrestling match on my birthday weekend! We'd never gone and it was pretty fun despite how frickin bitter cold it was in that place! Being in a warehouse in the beginning of January with no heat isn't fun. Luckily we were amused!

Then Jamie and I went back to my place and I opened gifts. I got so many great gifts from her and others so I'm going to share some of them! I used to think I was great at giving gifts, but my friends are so good at it! I'm so spoiled!

Birthday Weekend: DAY TWOOO

Before going out for some real karaoke fun, Jamie and I went and got some sweet manicures. It was snowing and the streets weren't exactly safe, but we made it and I got my nails "minxed"! I don't think the girl that did them had done them very often nor did she do them correctly, but they looked cool regardless. Then we went to one of our favorite places in Philly for karaoke, the Elephant and the Castle. Some friends I hadn't seen in QUITE sometime came out and there was great joy and great sadness all mixed together! There was also singing. Oh yes. But did I win the gift certificate at the end of the night? NOOO!! Whatever!

Watch this... if you dare. It's not really all that great, honestly.

My 27th Birthday Weekend!

I don't know if I should say that I've had 27 birthday weekends, but I've definitely had 27 birthdays now. That's pretty crazy. I don't feel much different than when I was 17. Except I have noticed it's getting harder and harder for me to get up with any amount of grace after sitting indian style on the floor for awhile.

Although I may have decrepit knee joints, I have great friends and the start to the celebrations were quite awesome. There was some hiccups in the beginning. Iron Moto rolled my sushi "wrong", the hibachi chef had a battle of wills with me (I WON!), and they lied about karaoke. After that mess, we went to a better location for partying and lots of dancing was had. At least by me and Steve. Another thing I had a lot of was drinks. I would say I probably shouldn't have had that many, but at least I didn't puke in the car or anywhere else inappropriate.
