Remember when I said I sang with the band on my birthday...those fuckers have a picture of me on their website!!! HOW KICKASS IS THAT? Of course I look horrible, but I'm over it....so for your viewing pleasure....
Hahaha...I love it. Me and Shaun make a great duet....LMAO!! GOOD TIMES.
Speaking of good times, good LORD last night was crazy as hell. Went to Katmandu with a bunch of people (what's that, you want specifics...ok...me, Erika, John, Bern, Des, Eggy, Bill, Dan, and then I met up with Melissa, Jess, and Melinda). Drank our faces off and had a great time, the band was good, but it was so freaking hot outside and the damn Trenton River doesn't cool you down worth shit (inside joke...I know it's the Delaware...John, however, does not). As we are leaving the club we decide to go to Atlantic City at 2 in the morning!!!!!! So, Erika, John, and I go...and get there at 4....we gamble for like 3 hours, then go out on the beach and sleep. It was so great....so chill and fun. Some highlights:
Rocking out hardcore (and I mean HARDCORE) to lostprophets
Tank attacking John in the front yard
John calling Tank many names...some of which include Bruce, Lance, Troy, and Trojan
Me making John a PB &J sandwich and John wearing most of the jelly
John telling the pit boss his life story and pissing him off a bunch
GOOD TIMES.... |

Kelli Marks gets married this weekend. I cannot believe it...this is like so crazy. Me and Ashley are going to be the only true GBH's left. LOL...but I wouldn't have it any other way. Went shopping today and bought some clothes. That was fun...I love to shop, that's for sure. Tyler goes out to his dad's this weekend, and because Kelli's wedding is on Saturday, I am driving him all the way to Pauls. I'm meeting up with Jessi hopefully for dinner on Friday...I wanna see her and her lil pumpkin so much!! I can't believe she had him 2 months ago! AHHH. Crazy how the time goes. I cannot believe Dayna had her baby. I am so happy that lil Cassidy is healthy and all. Well I must get going, don't worry...I'll update about the wedding and how crazy it was!!!!! |

I'm gonna make this entry short and sweet because I don't want to talk about this for long. Today was quite possibly the most emotionally challenging day I have ever lived through (let's make that, last night and today). My friend Joe passed away last Thursday and last night was the viewing and this morning was the funeral. On top of that, a girl I know through Dave, Laura, died on the fourth of July while riding an ATV. Her viewing was also last night and her funeral was this afternoon.
I will miss Joey so much!! That kid was so crazy and so genuine...most people didn't know that. I will love you forever Kenick and I hope you are playing your guitar up in heaven (in fact I KNOW YOU ARE!!)...and don't worry...one day I will get my child support check... |

Okay now before I start to lament on my birthday, everyone should go here and check out birthday pics and pics from The Light in the Piazza because Matt Morrison is hot. Okay... enough about that said...
So Friday night me and Sheri went to Bailey's after Dayna's baby shower. Bernadette and Jenny were there so we started downing pitchers of Miller Lite and counting down the minutes to midnight when I would *officially* turn 22. My sister then showed up and started drinking like a fish, which was funny because she kept telling me that she was not going to drink AT ALL. But it's Erika...so midnight rolls around and Bern and I have a midnight shot (Jager of course) and we dance. Sheri and I then leave to go to Manny Brown's to see Jeff who was there with a friend from his other job.
Right before we left Bailey's however, a guy started hitting on me...and me in all my drunken birthday glory yell at him, YOU CANNOT HIT ON ME BECAUSE YOUR NAME IS PAUL! His name was Paul and that was all I needed to know...
So Saturday DAY I had to work, and it sucked hardcore because we weren't busy at all because it has been beautiful all week. I made 10 bucks...so I took that money and went shopping for a killer outfit for the night. And anyone who knows me, knows that I can make 10 bucks by an AMAZING outfit because I am cheap (or I would rather say frugal).
Connie and I went to Friday's to eat...then we hit up Whiskey Tango where we met up with Katie, John, Tista, Chrissie, and Sonny. My friends did an excellent job in getting me drunk...so much so I became OUTGOING and made the singer of the band by me a shot! So we did our shots, and I told him he should invite me onstage...not thinking that he would...so the band starts playing again and all and my friends and I are dancing, when all of a sudden they start playing the opening chords to Sublime's "Santeria"...which is like my favorite song of ALL time (8th grade memories...you all wouldn't understand lol). I look at Katie and scream, "I NEED TO GO UP THERE FOR THIS SONG" and she's like okay...and at that moment, the lead singer who I had taken the shot with was like "Andrea needs to get up here because it's her birthday!!"...it cracked me up lol...so I ran up there and just like attacked the lead singer and he let me sing with him...he must have been pretty wasted to let me get on a mic HAHA. I was laughing so much though I couldn't even sing most of the words...WATCH OUT BROADWAY!! Now that my fear of singing in front of people has been conquered with alcohol...there is NO stopping me!
It was a great night!! I drunk phone called Holly because Billy Vera's "At This Moment" came on the radio and it made me think of her. And supposedly I also drunk dialed Clay because I got a message from him this afternoon telling me that I did. HAHA good times.
So yes, my birthday was fun...great friends is all a girl like me could ask for, and great friends are what I have...

I went to orientation yesterday at John Jay. I am in love with that college!! I can't believe that I'll be taking classes there in just two months!! Surreal...I'm so glad it's easy to get to, and it's in a beautiful part of the city...two blocks from both Central Park and Lincoln Plaza. I'm gonna enjoy taking those two hour breaks on beautiful days.
So I met up with Shannon and I met her boyfriend Paul...who is straight off the boat Irish and very nice. We walked around for a bit, had some drinks at an Irish pub, then Shannon and I tried to win tickets to see Wicked. Didn't happen...there was like 250 people there trying to win just 25 tickets. LOL...so instead I went and saw The Light in the Piazza...OMG!! What a show! The music was beautiful and the story was so pretty...Kelli O'Hara has one of the best voices I have ever heard, and so does Victoria Clark...and Matt Morrison...sigh....so CUTE!! And he can sing an Italian aira anyday of the week to me!! LOL...and I met all of them because I have become a stage door groupie lol (not really...but you know...) And I got my picture taken with Matt and I cannot wait to get it developed tonight after Dayna's baby shower.
Well I must get going because I have a ton of stuff to do and tomorrow is my birthday and that really has nothing to do with anything, but it always feels good to say that...
Ahhh...I'm gonna be 22.... |

It's been a while...been kinda busy with work and tyler...nothing really has been going on. Finally got something from John Jay...gotta go to orientation next Thursday...which rocks because now I can go to the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels CD signing that night!! HAHA...I love it how pathetic I am. Tyler is with his dad right now...he won't be back until next Sunday (day after my birthday). I'm gonna miss him...but while he is gone I'm gonna catch up on my sleep and hang out with friends. Should be nice. I must go though and clean my room some... |

Just going to start off this entry by expressing my joy for my man Norbert Leo Butz winning the Tony award last night for lead actor in a musical. Alright...
So the past week or so has been hectic to say the least. I don't know what to expect of anyone or anything anymore. Paul is starting some unnessecary drama AGAIN and it's becoming a little too much to handle. But I just get through it day by day and by reminding myself that Paul, along with most of the male species, is an asshole.
I finally sent in all my medical forms for John Jay...that was the reason why I wasn't able to schedule...so I should be going up in a few weeks to do so. Also gonna take a look at some places up there...hoping...
It's so freaking hot out. Just had to bitch about that. Ohhh...my birthday is in 19 days. Can't really say I am counting down to it like I was last year...this year is nothing...22...boooooooooo....
Gotta run to the store... |

These past few days have been some of the worst in a while. Paul is up to his usual dickhead shit, I'm making no money at work, and I still haven't heard from JJay about scheduling next semester. I'm in like super mega bitch mode and I don't really know how to get out of it, and I am making everyone around me suffer because I have been nothing be pissy to everyone. None of that was more evident than yesterday. All I know is that I thank God for friends like Ashley and Holly. Especially Holly because she can make me stop crying and start laughing by quoting the Real World. I love her!! Ashley is just Ashley and she is fabulous and I must get out to see her in Arizona. I will see her at Kelli Marks' wedding though...super excited about that. I cannot wait to see everyone, and I know it's just going to be a beautiful wedding. It's like in a month...OMG...where does the time go...I remember when she first told me she was engaged and said she was getting married in July 2005 and I was like, wow thats a long time from now...where does the time go? Well I have a *day* ahead of me, so I should go get ready and do some laundry or something productive like that. |

It's been a couple of days since I have updated...
Not too much has been going on. Work sucked this past weekend b/c it was Memorial Day and it was beautiful out and hence, no one in their right mind would go to the Olive Garden. And I do NOT blame them at all. I went out with Desiree, Lee, and Jeff on Saturday night. We went to Manny Brown's in Newtown...it was too funny. Funny in one of those ways that you had to be there or you would be utterly confused and possibly scared to know what we were talking about. My mom has been off of work for the past couple days and will be off all week, so Tyler has been bugging her instead of me :) Today was Memorial Day and we went over my aunt and uncles house in the morning to see the parade, then had a BBQ for lunch. For dinner we went over to my cousins house and had another BBQ...two barbeques in one day makes me a very happy fat girl. |

Anytime I plan something that is going to be so GREAT, it always ends up getting ruined!
I was planning on going to New York with Tyler on Wednesday to see Alley of the Stars (basically all of the new and hit Broadway shows perform for free in Shubert Alley...and yes Norbert is going to be there!!). Alas, I cannot go because I have to take my mom to the doctor's because my dad doesn't feel like doing it. Why...why...why...why...
So now this news, added onto the already horrible week I've been having, makes for one pissed off Andrea. Just for once in my life I want something to go as I plan, with nothing interrupting. Sigh...oh and now, my mom and my sister BOTH don't want to go see DRS for my birthday, so I am left alone, once again. Man... |

I'm extremely bored so I decided to update, even though nothing important is going on.
I don't have to go to work today. My mom is getting surgery done on her eye as we talk and so she obviously can't watch Tyler, so I am here. Last night was my dad's birthday, so we all went out to dinner. It was nice.
Let's see...oh...I've decided what I am doing for some of my birthday. On the 22nd I am headed up to NYC to see DRS again and then I'm gonna do TKTS and see another show at night, but I don't know which one. Obviously I want to see like Wicked or Avenue Q, but I don't know what will be available...
I have to go, Tyler is beating me up... |

Alright, enough of the flipping out (even though secretly inside I still am)...
This week was eventful to say the least. Let's see if I can sum it all up (everything, that is, that I have not yet written about)...
Wednesday night we went to Woodys for Mike's birthday. It was actually pretty fun, I mean, what would you expect from a gay bar? LOL. I saw K8 there and I damn near flipped out. I hadn't seen her in so long, and the fact that we both met up in a gay bar was quite funny. We also hit up Tiki Bob's, where drunk dancing and Sidekick stealing ensued. But it was a good time.
Now, without flipping out about Dirty Rotten Scoundrels too much, I shall tell you about the time I had in NYC with Shannon. We ate at the best little Irish pub, just needed to say that. The musical was amazing. I am going again in exactly one month to see it again. It was so good, and the cast was amazing. And needless to say, I met my Norbert and I was happy. I still am, and I will always be, because it isn't everyday you meet someone that has had such an impact on you. With the exception of Anthony Rapp, there is no other single person in the world whose music and voice I live for more. So to see him perform live, shake his hand, get his autograph, snap a few pictures, and have him look up to me and smile, it was beyond me. The fact I couldn't utter a word to him makes no difference. LOL.
OMG, when Shannon and I were walking to our trains after the show, we ran right into the Apprentice finale party!! HAHA, even though we weren't TOO close, I saw enough of Alex to make me smile and lemme tell you, that man is HOT!! I also saw Tana...talk about random.
Last night was fun. Went to Chickies with Dayna, Des, and Jeff. Nothing too eventful going on there...
Picked Tyler up today. GOD I MISS HIM!! He's just getting so damn big and I don't know where the time went or where it is going to go, but I know everything that is going to happen in my life is going to be okay because of that boy. I really have no idea why I thought of that, but it's the truth. I can look at him and realize that everything I do will one day make sense...and right now, I really need someone or something to help me believe that.
Well I must get going b/c I am tired and I have no idea how long my goobie will sleep for, plus we have a ton of stuff to do in the morning... |

Okay, not really that bad...I mean, I was so excited when he came out, I literally screamed his name but no sound came out. The girl in front of me, who was also named Andrea :), was talking with her friend who is part of the ensemble and she was like, "I will go get him for you guys". And then there he was, shooting that big goofy smile off at me. I LOVED IT. He didn't stay too long, but he stayed long enough for me. Then, Sherie Rene Scott came out and that girl is nothing short of beautiful!! I was indeed jealous of her LOL. Incredibly sweet, she almost stole my pen!! LOL. Then Gregory Jbara came and took pictures with all of us and he was the nicest guy I have ever met in my ENTIRE life. Seriously. OMG, then John Lithgow came out and I don't think I realized just what was going on b/c I was still obsessing over the fact that I just MET the man I absolutely ADORE. But anyway...John Lithgow is so tall. Seriously, he was like 6'5" or something.
The show itself was nothing short of amazing. OMG. I loved every minute of it. My Norbie is a theatrical genius and if he does not win the Tony award I shall have to hurt a bunch of random people. The musical just hit on every cylinder and the scenes with Gregory and Joanna were unexpected funny as hell. "Great Big Stuff" exceeded my expectations, so much that I damn near lost my voice from screaming and laughing through it. Same with Oklahoma! and OMG, All About Ruprecht had me and I think Shannon in tears too b/c it was that damn funny.
Wednesday, June 22, going to the matinee show for my birthday. No fooling...so excited. OMG, I cannot wait to see it again. And this time, we won't be in the last row (although the seats we had were great!!!)
I must stop this rant before I flip out...oh wait, I think it is a little too late for that...
Aww man...Norbie...how I love thee... |

I got straight A's this semester...hurrah!! Now it's going to get a bit tougher. Sigh...that's alright though.
This week has been fun so far. I don't have Tyler so I have just been working and hanging out with friends...catching up with people, you know. Monday was by FAR the best night of the week so far (although I have a feeling that tomorrow night will be the best of my LIFE HAHA)...we went to Chickies for karaoke (or however you spell it) and it was too much fun. All I know is that Bernadette was there and that was all that I needed to have a good time. LOL, I miss that girl. But we had a good crowd, although my Big Keezy was not there, he was sick :( Oh well.
I am going to get going right now because I am going to go shopping for tonight. Going out for Mike's birthday...this is going to be insane, we are going to the gay club Woodys...dear lord, help me. Haha, Kate, you would be so proud of me. This should be fun. |

I have to BE strong!!
Work was absolutely, positively HORRIBLE today. I work 13 hours and hated every single one of them. I have to work 12 hours tomorrow too. What was I thinking picking that up? I think some heavy drinking will be in store for me after work tomorrow :) But I deseperately need the money so I am not going to complain TOO much.
Okay...not strong at all...damn it...
I just found out that I got an A in criminology and an A in intro to cj...woohoo...just have to wait and see wait I get in my history class...probably a B...if he really liked my final, I may end up with an A.
Well, it is like 1 in the morning and I really need to sleep b/c I have work at 10. I guess I shall get going...

Oh my god...I feel like so conflicted right now!!! AGHHHHHH!!!
Okay...got that off my chest. So my mom isn't going to NYC with me to see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, even though I wanted to take her and treat her to dinner and a show and stuff. I think Connie is going to try and go. That would be awesome. We can try for lottery tickets and we can STAGE DOOR it afterwards. OMG, I would DIE to see my Norbie!! Absolutely positively DIE to meet him...
Gotta take Tyler to Paul's in the morning. Sigh...I hate that and that is all I am going to say, otherwise this would turn into a huge post about me hating the entire male species. Especially those who like to play games, and you know who you are...
Oh man...this time next week I will be flipping out over DRS and Norbie...I love it!! Plus, I can't wait to see John Lithgow and Sherie Rene Scott...and Oklahoma!!! OMG, I am so excited it's stupid...I'm gonna leave with a quote from my favorite song from DRS "Great Big Stuff"
*rap stars will love me!!...ill have my own posse, aight?!!?* HES TOO CUTE!!!!! |

So the Weezer concert was really good. I love how Rivers just goes up there and sings and like that's it. He just stands there the whole time playing guitar and singing...no hopping around the stage or anything like that. My sister was COMPLETELY wasted and I had to spend a good portion of the show keeping her under control, but I didn't mind...she made me laugh a lot lol. And they performed like all of their old stuff...they played NO songs from Maladroit and only like 4 new ones, the rest were from the Blue album and Pinkerton (and there was 3 from the Green album).
I am going up to New York next Thursday to see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and I am SUPER excited because I just love Norbert Leo Butz and I can't wait to see him perform. This is the first time I am going to a show where the original cast will be performing. I am so excited. I just bought the soundtrack yesterday too and it's just made me that more pumped to go and see the show.
Just wanted to update about the concert since I had been talking about it forever. Gotta go... |

Sorry that was completely random...
I thought I was done with Bucks completely, but alas, I have to take a summer class...sigh. Actually its not that bad...it's a psych class and it's only six weeks long, so it'll be over before I know it.
The Weezer concert is in a week and I am flipping out. I love these guys and I cannot wait to see them live and up close...it's at the Electric Factory so I mean, it's gonna be great.
I still haven't decided if I'm going to go to NYC for my birthday. Initially I wanted to go up, catch the 2:00 showing of RENT, then go out for a night on the town...but I don't know if I am going to have enough money. So I was thinking about just staying around Philly...we shall see. Nothing will beat last year's birthday though, that is for sure.
Well, I must be going... |
