My tire blew out on the freeway. Thankfully my car kept going and I didn't spin out or anything.
I put a blonde streak in my hair. Just one streak. Travis Hawley of Night Riots has a blonde streak and I really liked the look of it. I think his is natural like a birthmark. I have some hair at the base of my skull that is lighter than the rest of my hair and the skin underneath it is slightly red like a birthmark, interesting how that happens. Anyways I like that hair too, but I wanted that look in the front. The top of my hair is pulled back a little, so the blonde is a little hidden when all of my hair is down. I like it a lot. My mom was joking that I like going to concerts so much that I dye my hair according to who I'm going to see because I am actually going to see Night Riots in October.
Speaking of concerts, I went to Bite of Las Vegas. I had Dole Whip OUTSIDE of Disneyland!! Who knew?! And Shake Shack, which actually has really good burgers, they have like a special sauce, but I wouldn't waste your time on the fries, unless maybe mine just got cold fast. Then like a good student, I read one page for a class because I have ADD when I'm supposed to be reading, but other things are going on around me. I saw Rachel Platten and Neon Trees, who are both soooo good live. Rachel Platten taught us the words to Gin and Juice, she was so adorable.
I finished Last Man Standing in time, before they took off of Netflix, but the thing that sucks is that they still have one more season that I haven't seen, and Netflix never got it. Also started listening to Gilmore Guys, which is a podcast on Spotify and itunes. They just go through each episode of Gilmore Girls and kind of critique them. They're pretty funny, especially if you've already seen Gilmore Girls, if you haven't I recommend watching along with them or watching it all first because they don't explain anything.
Update:
This is being posted about a month later after all of this has happened, sorry it's school season and this is probably the worst semester yet.
You've probably heard about what happened in Las Vegas and I have no words. It being my hometown I felt like I couldn't just post without acknowledging it. You always hear about it happening in other places and the feelings go away after a while, there is nothing to remind you, but when it happens in your city it's different. It's on all of the news channels, radio stations (some didn't play music at all, but just did updates), everyone has a connection or knows someone that does to the tragedy, my facebook timeline is filled with it because most of my friends are in or from Vegas, on the way to school I pass memorials and "pray for Vegas" signs, it's not something that you can forget. It really hits home, especially when you think I used to work at concerts, what if it happened then? My cousin even called to see if I was ok because they remembered that I used to have that job. I've heard so many people say that they went Saturday and were going to go Sunday, but then decided not to, and can't even fathom what went through their minds, that it could have been them. I feel like I'm just rambling, but this kind of stuff just drains you emotionally. I kept getting facebook messages from people out of state seeing if my family and I were ok, I kept getting notifications when someone would mark themselves as safe. I heard that he was there during Life is Beautiful, which would have been, I don't want to say worse, but I knew so many people that went to that festival.
Enough rambling, but to the good part, even though it feels wrong to say that, but the one good thing that comes out of this is unity. Las Vegas is amazing when they come together to get things done. People were lined up at the blood bank at 3:30 in the morning and they are filled now, they won't need any more blood for a few days. So many people wanted to help that if they couldn't donate blood then they would bring food and water for those who were standing in line for 8 hours to give blood. The city commissioner created a gofundme and it's already past $9 million. When the Paris tragedy happened, Las Vegas's own Eiffel Tower's lights went dark, so when this happened Paris reciprocated and their tower's lights went dark. Israel's city hall was lit up to look like the American flag. It's amazing what happens when people come together in light of a tragedy.
It's been a very emotional week, but we're VegasStrong.
