3pm slowly approached and a Forum employee told us we needed to pack up our stuff and form a better line. Carlyn and I took off and got ready thanks to some of our line mates. As the suspense grew, a radio station came by and handed us shiny red bead necklaces. The family ahead of us from Dallas brought their young daughter to Tampa for her first ( Read more... )

It's 10am outside the St. Pete Times Forum. Carlyn and I are queuing up the U2 show tonight. In Boston, they gave you a wristband with a number so you could come back at 5pm and not waste your entire day in line. There are no wristbands to be had, but to be fair, the U2 fans decided to start their own numbering system so no one can cut the line. So ( Read more... )

Well, due to the increased chaos predicted at the St. Pete Times Forum this Wednesday, we decided to extend our stay in Tampa so Carlyn and I can get in the u2.com line about 6am. We are off to Tampa this afternoon and *god willing* we can grab wristbands for tomorrow so we don't have to wait in line the whole entire day ( Read more... )

After a very chilly flight from Manchester, NH to Orlando, FL, I just returned from the pool and the outside temp is slowly reaching 80 degrees. Thank god! My headache is gone. We are off to Sea World for the rest of the day. Bebe, I hope my wee little kittens are treating you well. I am so happy that I'm far away from my job and New Hampshire. It ( Read more... )

I guess it is my turn to feel sick. My throat is swollen and I have a pretty nasty cough coupled with aches and pains. Ah, the joys of working with the public. It's too bad that antibacterial products don't work. Stupid germ-killing nonsense!

In other news ... Carlyn has a boyfriend! Only a few more weeks until Florida ( Read more... )

This has been a very weird week. First, I ended my first week as Terminal Manager. Second, an old friend from high school that I have not spoken to in ten years called me. I can't think of a third. As for the manager part, I'm not sure how to take it. I don't even know what is going on. All I do know is that I need to get the feck out of here. As ( Read more... )

The sun is once again shining in New Hampshire and thankfully, my house was not washed away by the Merrimack River. It rained all weekend, and I was outside under an umbrella/tent for most of it. That might explain why I have a cold.

In other news ... I cannot and do not want to handle the next few months of my life. If anyone would like to ( Read more... )

AH, SAM. I still LOVE him in his ultra-sexy eyeliner. Going to shows of this nature makes me wish that I was a celebrity so I could go VIP because I'm getting sick of being corralled out of the venue the second the lights come on and being told to "move it along." I wasn't expecting anything to happen after the show, in fact, it was such a cold ( Read more... )

Yes! Tonight I am going to see THE BRAVERY one more time in Boston! OMG, woo. I hope it is a good show. Apparently, the U2 show I attended last Monday was one of the best shows the band has ever done, so I doubt THE BRAVERY can top my excitement from the good times outside the Shelter and the gigantic U2 fan party in the waiting line.

J'aime Montreal. Montreal remains a place where I feel comfortable and beautiful. I can wear funky shoes and not be ridiculed for being "eclectic" or "weird." Guys still check me out (I thought those days were over) and I decided that McGill has some very fine gentlemen. So fine, in fact, that I often asked, "Where can I get me one of those?" and I ( Read more... )
