My Bonnaroo Romance

Last Summer my sister took me to see the Summer of Love Exhibit at the Whitney Museum which was about Woodstock and the hippie era(obviously). I saw a bunch of pictures of the hippie couples who got to experience woodstock together and I developed a fascination/jealousy for them. Bonnaroo confirmed my admiration/jealousy for them as I saw dozens of couples sitting together under trees or lieing on blankets listening to the music on the stage but in their own little world, whether from being in love or being on acid. Now normally I effin hate couples and PDA but at concerts where hippies rule, love is free and no one judges you I love them and wanted to be one of them. For the first night at Bonnaroo I was alone for longer then I would have liked to been because Annie and her family were exhausted and passed out in the tent and car. So i wandered around a bit it was still fun but lonely. The next day I got split up with Annie as she was off seeing Les Claypool and I was seeing the Racontours (or the "Ra Cunt ers" as I called them for about a day and a half until annie rudly corrected me) So I'm sitting there chillin until this regulation hottie sits in front of me. Well Im a girl who follows her intution and this little tiny voice in my head was screaming "SIT NEXT TO HIM ...NOW!" Plus he had the same fone as me so it had to have been meant to be. I move next to him and in this voice that I tried very hard to make sound confident I asked ""May I sit next to you?" Well....one thing led to another and we hit it off. I found out that he was reading Crime and punishment, a book I had just finished, which bascialy sealed the deal so to speak. Oh and he was an AP kid! The one guy I come on to at Bonnaroo turns out to be an AP kid after all my efforts of avoiding the sick and desperate love hexagons of the ap kind. But he was from the Tennesse Ap kid faction, so its all good. And I liked that he was smart as opposed to my last beaux (circa February 08) who freaked out when I used the word nostalgia. And just like that I became one of those couples at a festival. From an insiders point of view it was quite enjoyable being with someone at bonnaroo, riding the ferris wheel at sunset listening to the music whilst sprawled out on a blanket and having adventures and shenanigans. Lol one of my um idiosyncrasies when it comes to life in general but particularly boys is that I relate everything back to the movie titanic. And we had our titanic moments. For one, like the class differences of Jack and Rose, he was from the VIP section at Bonnaroo and I was from the normal section. At bonnaroo the normal section people aren't allowed in the VIP section but the VIP people are allowed in the normal section, so together we got to see the differences between them or the best of both worlds as Miley Cyrus once said. I snuck into the VIP section with him but we had to climb under a fence when no one was looking which was scary because as he was crawling these two big men come from out of the night and grab his legs. For like 5 seconds we were both in sheer terror that they were gunna pull him away and send him to Bonnaroo jail or something and seperate us, but no it was bonnaroo and everyone was nice and helpful instead they said "here ya go man" as they held up the fence and pushed him under. We had a bunch of Lolz after that as you can imagine. Oh and another time we were like hiding together in this abandoned tent (the medium sized circus kind that is) when all of a sudden this guy comes in on the other side, he didnt realize we were in there well for like 30 seconds this random guys is like messing with his zipper and i thought he was about to jack off but no he starts peeing, Harry and I had to stop ourselves from laughing until his huge fat friend came in and started to pee when all of a sudden in a thick southern accent he goes "LOOK MARK TEHRS PEOPLE IN HERE!" well harry and me ran out after that screaming which added to the dramatic effect. Yea that reminded me of titanic when Jack and rose are running in like the Irish worker section. Oh and taking AP Lang did pay off as I understood the various terms he used.(one of them was syllogism) And he liked the movie Apocalypse Now, thank you Mr. Del Campo and Justin for showing me the cult classic Kids which we discussed and Bosco for telling me about Harry and the Potters which he liked along with Harry Potter as his name was Harry after all. He was also fun when we hung out with annie and did stuff like hoola hoop frolick under the mushroom or dance at the silent disco. Oh yea just to add to the gayness of this post, I didn't go to prom obviously but we had a lil prom slow dance while this slow song was playing.it was nice tho. We met every day at the giant mushroom fountain at 3. (earlier than three would have been clingy and too much later than that would have been a booty call) We had an amazing time while Bonnaroo lasted, we parted yesterday at the car and said our last goodbyes. In the long run it never would have worked, he was from Tennessee where people still think Borat impersonations are funny and I was from New York where people know Mean Girls references are funny, but we will always have Bonnaroo 08.

BONNAROO 2008

Bonnaroo 08 reminded me a lot of my stay in Mali Africa, only with drugs. It was like the village I stayed at in the sense that everyone was friendly. Everyone was eager to help you, be your friend, smoke you up, hit on you, say hi to you, and chill with you. People were so friendly becase they shared a common purpose, they had all traveled to Bonnaroo to see the bands, make friends, do drugs and have sex and I think everyone did a good job of accomplishing these goals.

Drugs
I had an amazing time at Bonnaroo. Just for the record I did not experiment, with any drugs, at all. (thanks to the reverse peer pressure of Jordan) But there were a lot of drugs. Every morning and also through out the day people hustled drugs throughout the acres of the Bonnaroo camp site. The first hour we were there this woman came up to Annie with some "really clean ecstasy" two guys came by with a basket of special brownies, I saw LSD being sold a lot, weed was mostly past along through friends, Doses , which is also LSD, and a lot of mushrooms. I woke up last morning to a guy walking around the campsite yelling: Mushrooms?? Mushrooms anyone??? Our neighbors, these group of just graduated teenage boys from Michegan toting a sign that read "show us your tits" bought every drug offered to them and were basically dead the entire Bonnaroo except for Dan Roy, the Ron Paul guy, who chilled with us a few times and tried very hard to be suave.

The Bands
My favorite shows were MGMT, Teegan and Sara, Electric Touch<3 and the Racontours. I also saw MSKRFT, Rilo Kiley, BB King, Les Claypool,Jakob Dylan and the Battles. All the music was amazing. Electric touch was a pleasant suprise, Annie Harry and me came across them in the Troo music lounge and they did an amazing cover of Come Together. They were all very attractive especialy the guitarist whowas gorgeous and was "having sex with his guitar" as annie said. Speaking of Gorgeous...

Southern/Bonnaroo Boys
I never realized how attractive everyone is outside of New York until Bonnaroo (and every other time I've been out of New York) Maybe its something to do with the fact that New York boys spend all of their time inside or maybe its because I am very turned off by Guidos, but forget all that, The bonnaroo boys were shirtless in shape and hot. Also everyone looked older. All the 17-19 year olds looked like they were in their 20s. Annie and my fav hotties were the guitarist from Electric Touch, the Dj at the kareoke bar, all our neighbors, ehh maybe not Dan Roy, and of course my Bonnaroo Boo Harry.

Perverts
Did you know that everyone over the age of 39 in the south is perverted? I didn't. Basically everyone hit on everyone at Bonnaroo, but from older Southern men with outdated cat calls it was obviously unwanted. Here are some of the cat calls
"WELL HELLOOOO DARLINN!"
*as annie and I aproached the Breast painting station*
" YA GUNNA GO GET YER BOOBIES PAINTED GURLZ!?!?"
*while walking around in a bikini top*
"NOW WHYD YA COVER DEM PRETTY LIL THINGS UP!?!?"
Oh and when Annie and I rode the ferris wheel together the Mexican workrs shouted CHICI MAMACITA AY AY AY! but that goes for any carnival.

Nudity.
There were a few guys who do breast paintings every year at Bonnaroo so every day about 300 girls were topless with painted Bosoms. Lmao one day there was this couple who got the full monty painted. And the Guy had an elephant painted over his uhh private if you can picture that. Other girls just went topless, some where really young. At Bonnaroo it didn't matter no one judged and since all the social barriers were broken there wasn't anything wrong with being naked, it wasn't to attract the opposite sex it was just being yourself.


Fun Stuff
The silent disco was boss. This kid with a shirt that read Barrack N ROll danced with us and we exchanged facebooks. The mushroom fountain was amazing, it was basically a giant phallic symbol that squirted out water and everyone stayed under it to get wet some people were naked. My favorite moment in Bonnaroo which basically epitomized the bonnaroo experience was when a hundred people including annie and me were under the mushroom and everyone was shouting BONNAROO BONNAROO BONNAROO!! and IM ON DRUGS!! It was fun everyone was together having a good time and tripping. I did kareoke a bunch of times and won a lot of free stuff. We also did guitar hero and photo shoots at bonnaroo. One time a few guys from Garnier Fructis had a camera and filmed Harry Annie and me like dancing seductivly and it was hilarious and should be on their website soon. Riding the Ferris wheel was really nice Idk there were a lot of lolz.

meaningful Bonnaroo Convos
*about the "show us your tits" sign*
Me: "So, Dan Roy, has your sign worked so far"
Dan Roy: "Yes!" "We made a border for it with all this stuff and thats the first step!"
Me: "well whats the second step?"
Dan Roy: "Getting babes to flash us"
Me: "oh so no girls have showed you their boobs yet?"
Dan Roy: "nah"

*About Titanic*
Logan: " I don't get why Jack had to die, or one person always has to die in all these love stories"
Me: "well cuz it makes their love more real, since Jack died while his love was strong it is immortalized because it never faded . You know if the titanic didn't sink and they survived one of them would become too clingy or Jack would cheat on Rose, it could never work."
Logan: " OH MY GOD you have no heart! you are a heartless woman!"
Harry (bonnaroo boo): "No she's not, she's a realist."

Ugh I can't believe its over but I had a great time and am definitly going next year if you want to come. Idk if I changed or if I should have changed but that was one of the most fun weekends of my life.

Tila Tequila

Ok p.s why was my baby Tila Tequila on the list of the most hated people in the chieftan. :-( I've been a fan of Tila for a really long time (circa 2006 )when I became her friend on myspace (ew) and listend to her music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzlKFd1QthE (fuckin genius.) Anyway in the article she was criticized for not picking the lesbian who stole everyones heart Dani, and for being superficial and deceitful. Ok Tila Tequila is a girl who has done what a lot of girls in my school could only dream of , become famous for having really slutty myspace pics. What kind of morals and character do you expect Tila to have?Flava Flav didn't pick the more than deserving New York and is on season three of flava of love but he isnt on this list. You can't expect celebrities to be gems. Its like people depending on Miley Cyrus to be innocent, until she was just being Miley and Annie Lebowitz defiled her virginal image , and then freaking out. Or Brittany being deflowered by Justin Timberlake being made public, which I have never believed, or Jessica Simpson making her decision to wait till marrige public. Whether or not their decisions to wait were true, just because they waited and made their virginity public doesnt make them any less of a slut. (except for Miley who is a gem forever in my book) They're entertainers and so is my baby Tila Tequila. Tila is famous because a lot of people idolize her behavior and looks. If you don't like her don't watch her show and don't expect her to be a decent person. Tila is no gem and is proll the biggest slut out there. I'm a prude/"secret slut" and I don't condone her behavior but if you think or expect her to be a good person who is actually looking for love on a reality t.v. show you are kidding yourself.

I actually started this blog forty five minutes ago, but then I looked at my feet and realized I needed a pedicure and drove over to the nail salon. Grace Nails actually, the cheapest most ghetto salon out of all the many salons in Mahopac. Every time I go there to get somthing did a shenaigon always happens involving the asian workers. Last Feb 13 annie marissa and me got our nails done there (for valentines day ya know how we do) and the two guys there got in this fight over a nail file that one guy thought the other stole, the language barrier kind of blocked me from understanding but the one guy kept repeating "RI'm not Rupid!!!" There are only two days left of highschool for me and before Bonnaroo. I have mixed feelings about highschool ending. I'm glad I'm in the middle though, I'm not devestated or overjoyed that it is over. You can't hate highschool, its a necessary evil for shaping character. (Feel free to hate Middleschool though) I prefer people who didn't have it easy breezy beautiful cover girl in mhs and mms. In a town infested with tanning salons pizzarias and nail salons (which I patronize frequently) to be popular is not an accomplishment. Still when I hear friends like annie say that they are so glad that highschool is over and couldn't care less about leaving it .....idk theres a lot to miss, maybe thats just me but I think people will realize that a lot more once they leave. When I visited the Middle school for the first time in 4ev to shoot some pictures for this campaign project in gov I was surprised how much I missed it. Middle school was a horrible time where everyone kinda sucked and was really boring. Everyone was so self conscious and worried about not acting like a kid anymore that no one had their own interests or would act like an idiot. Still an epoch of your life doesnt have to be happy for you to miss it. I wouldn't be the bitch I am today if everyone wasnt such a butch in middleschool. Id proll still be a gem..sigh. Oh well all gems are going to get defiled sooner or later and probaly sooner. The College boys of next year will destroy the pure hearts of the gems of 08, but gem boys are forever!!..until they destroy themselves that is. Tmw I need to do all my pre bonn bonn shopping and its time for a wax! This may sound a lil masochistic but waxes are kinda fun, yes there is the whole pain thing but the situation is just so embarassing that its funny. Last month having a korean lady that I can "rav rex now" was a lil buck. The whole time the situation was going on I was laughing most of it was like a nervous laugh similar to the laugh annie gives when she tells you she can't hang out with you. I feel bad for the ladies who have to do that job, like really. Last thursday Just was with me for an enitre day which was a bit of a mistake because every group of people I hung out with heard me being called a secret slut! Which is fuckin slander!

Pillow talk

Pillow talk as defined on urban dictionary is...
"sweet and inviting talk that really has no point, but its so good. doesnt have to be sexual nor follow anything sexual, cute talk between those rested on pillows. " Pillow talk as defined by Cyndi Stew is what happens to me late at night when I'm hanging out with people and all of a sudden the mood shifts from hyphy buckwild crazy fun to deep and reflective. An amazing conversation then starts which normally lasts until the wee hours of the night. Pillow talk with meh usually happens at sleepovers (on pillows) in cars or the occasionaly on the phone. I love when people are good conversationalists and pillowtalk transforms any old Mccain Like speaker to a barrack obama<3. Pillow talk is my favorite way of bonding with people. Thats all

manic

In a really manic mood right now like too happy but thats alright with meh. ya know meh. texting justin non stop at the moment listening to some bands who are playing at bonnaroo. (6 days!) I'm planning on documenting the trip a lil via the new camera I will be buying shortly. I've never been to a music festival before unless you count (which you definitly will not) the scrubish battle of the bands at like the chance or highschool. Living 4 days in a tent with over a million people will be fun. I'll put the videos I record on facebook to make all the prom goers jealous. I def have to start packing . Id like to take a moment to give congrats to my baby Obama for beating Hilldawg yesterday. Speaking of yesterday award ceremony was good, lots of awkward moments. Giggled with annie and texted people most of the time. pretty random awards (secor property ownership)? but yea congrats to everyone who won an award.
I need to see the sex and the city movie asap possibly with some gems and Justin/Bosco/Marissa but not annie who is to much of an elitist to condesend to see a movie that she doesnt LIKE WITH HER FRIENDS!!!! >:-0 / :,-( well annie and i will bond and have some friendship/dyke moments at bonnaroo. My dad asked me if bonnaroo was a concert about fuckin Bono and i almost got buck wild.
I love this time of year (next to halloween) early summer is my fav everry boring person somehow becums really fun. And Im losing track of days but its good.
I got bad karma today for playing hot or not to the extreme i nthe yearbook, but i made up for it by doing some good deeds. I think I need t go watch the cult classic The Blue Lagoon which I own on dvd. I twas on the other day on tv but watching the Blue lagoon edited is pretty much pointless just like this entry , so im going to post another on one of my favorite things.

Do you have "Gem" potential

Lately, I have grown a new fascination for Gems. Gems are also known as sweethearts. To be a Gem you have to be a nice, sexually naive, innocent person who is all around sweet. Gems usually do not hang out with people or go out and stay out late. Gems mostly do their hw and what they are supposed to. If you make a sexual innuendo around a gem they will most likely be confused, giggle or uncomfortable. The good thing about gems is that since they do not hang out a lot they are not corrupted and exposed to the horrors of what being socialized can bring. I think I used to be a gem (circa 7th) grade until society convinced me that it was better to be a bitch to the people that I care about. Gems, however, are not socially retarded, like the sterotypical AP kid . They may feel awkward in certain situations but its cute because they are innocent and immediatly forgiven. I'm not dropping names (or acid at bonnaroo) but someone on the physics trip was a gem and started my gem collection. Bascially Innocent is the new slut in my book. Gems are in.

My first entry

I deleted my livejournal circa 10th grade (when my puberty was fait accompli ) and I matured past that website but I can tell this website is much more advanced just like facebook is awesome and myspace is white trash so yea this is the intro to my blog, I'm not bothering about my spelling or grammar this is just to reflect on my adventures bitch about stuff,and scheme some shenanigons. Although its inevitable that I will accumulate stalkers(bosco), this blog is mostly for meh. And I will start with my weekend, friday was the physics trip which was buck. My field trip clique consisted of me Justin, Agnes and Will Toch (whose name sounds like "We'll talk" but whatever) oh and four shy smart girls who chilled with us now and then. The rides were sweet Agnes was a gem and I had an awesome time after words Justin &me met up with Bosco Marissa and Brian to see highschool muscial which got old really quickly . We drove around and eventually everyone left and it was only Brian, Justin and me and we went to brians house in south salem. It was pretty late and we went on the dock near his house. Idk why I liked it so much but we had the most awesome conversation ever that lasted an hour or more and then even on the ride home Justin and me continued the conversation and like usually when one person leaves a threesome it sucks but it didn't it was like pillow talk 2.0 and you know how I feel about pillowtalk and good conversationalists. The next day was the lake compounce trip and lets just say going to lake compounce after six flags is like going to the jv mall after you go to the palisades or the mall of america. It was still fun after words Justin Bosco and I hung out and we picked up Kendra who has gem potential but mentions sex too much to qualify. Anyway it was a nice night but lets just say an innocent prank had very damaging repercussions on my "relationship" with Bosc. Well when Bosc refused to give up shotty and stormed off into the night in the KFC parking lot Justin and I thought it would be funny to leave her there. Kendra participated but is too new to get blamed for anything. We came back in five minutes( after calling her from the family health center parking lot and screaming "BITCH POINT FOR ME!") long enough for her to think we'd left for good and like she was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant with her hands covering her face. She was laughing but pretending to be mad. There were a lot of emotions that night and Bosco was mad at me for hours afterwords and I was begging for forgivness, but then the tables turned and I got mad at her and she begged for my forgivness. And I was still mad until the next day when we resolved it via text which is the best way to solve anything. Today I was out for most of the day from doing gavonish car stuff with marissa hanging out with the Va-china kids to the gym with bosco to filming since u been gone at kendras. Thats when I realized I must start blogging again so I could reflect on all my shenanigans. FIN
