As it all comes to an end..

So, as we all know today is officially the last and final day of 2007. As I think back to all that has happened in 2007, a good way to start of the new year would help if I reminisced on all of the things that happened over the past 364 days. Let's divide this by seasons, shall we?

It's safe to say that nothing exciting happened in January, but I didn't know that February would be a month that would change my life.

February. On February 18th, 2007 the Jonas Brothers had an on-line chat. A few of my best Jonas friends decided to start a chat with just a few of us and that was the day that I met Sara. I never knew that meeting this girl would change my life, but it did. Sara-Rose Fadda is now my best friend that I have and I love her to death. I thank the Jonas Brothers so much for having this chat because if this had never happened, God only knows if I Sara and I would have ever been introduced to each other.

Spring;


March. This month started off great. On March 10th, my mother and I went to New York City early that morning. This was a great day. Mom and I walked around the city, went to China town, Canal Street, Little Italy, and more. The night concluded with my mom and I going to Rockefeller Center to go ice skating. This was so much fun to do and it was an amazing thing to experience. This also was an evening that changed my life because Sara and her mother, Andrea, came into the city to meet up with my mother and I. The first time we ever met face to face, was at Rockefeller Center when we were on the phone. Sara and Andrea were also at Rockefeller Center while trying to find us and as I directed them over to one of the designer stores, we were right in front of each other without even noticing it. I looked down from the store name only to see Sara standing in front of me. What did I do? I screamed. We then went to T.G.I Friday's which would always and forever be our restaurant, and "Move Along" by the All American Rejects would always and forever be our song. March 11th was also a life changing day for me. On this day, my mother and I would be going to "Carnival For A Cure" to see the Jonas Brothers, and to donate to the Diabetes's Research Institution. This was also the day that I met face to face with some of my best friends Nicolette, Amanda, Amanda, and Allyson. Although I now do not talk to the Amanda's as much as I wish, Nicolette is one of my dearest friends and Allyson is my best of all best friends, along with Sara. Sara acts as though she is my twin and little sister, while Allyson is my big sister. This day was amazing and the evening concluded with a FABULOUS dinner at Le Mela in Little Italy and amazing Italian Ice Cream. The month of March concluded with our school's accelerated science trip to Florida. This trip was so fun and was full of so many memories and insiders. Shall I list a few?
"WHO IS STEVEN!?" *SLAM*.
"Call this number; _ _ _ - _ _ _ - _ _ _" *hang up.* "Why did you hang up!?" "I don't know! I was scared!"
Nicholas H. standing in the middle of the hall in boxers.
"I am NOT a freak show".
Seeing Mr. Coleman without a shirt on.
& Many more.


All in all, March was an amazing month that I will never forget.

April wasn't anything special. Nothing exciting happened. =)

May. For my birthday the past two years, I have gone to East Rutherford, New Jersey for the infamous "Bamboozle". This event is hard core to the extreme, and I love nothing more than going to this event. Also, it was another Jonas concert. This year, both of my parents and I went down for this event and stayed at Sara's house for the weekend. This was an amazing trip and I will never forget it. Another exciting thing? For my birthday on May 9th I received the most amazing phone ever. The Sidekick Three. This phone is my baby. Thank you, parents. =) At the end of May, our class went on the Boston trip. This was also another memorable school trip that will never be forgotten.

Summer;


June. June was an AMAZING month, no questions asked. I ended school and started off my vacation two days later with a trip to Hershey Park, Pennsylvania. This would always and forever be a trip that would never leave my mind. We drove down on the 23rd and nothing exciting happened except for the fact that the Jonas Brothers and myself stayed in the same hotel. Amazing? I know, but the 24th was when the memories all came into place. June 24th, 2007, my parents and I drove to Hershey Park. We met Sara and her mother in the parking lot and proceeded into the park. We waited a few minutes for the park to open where we then met up with Katie. On this day I saw some of my great friends Devon and Carolanne. A little while later Sara, Katie and I met up with Nicolette and Ally and for the rest of the day we would be the Fabulous Five. During our time at Hershey Park, although we did not go around much of the park or ride many rides, this was the best day ever. We were the merch girls that everyone envied. How do I know? People were taking stalker pictures of us, people would kill to be in our positions, and we got a private meet and greet with our boys, the Jonas Brothers. I am so thankful for this day, you have no idea how much. At the end of the day Katie, Sara and I parted ways with Nicolette and Ally, but we would be seeing them the next day. Katie, Sara, Andrea, my parents and myself all headed back to our hotel and we had a lovely evening. The 25th started out as a not-so-good day. What happened? Mine and Sara's glasses both broke. This meant that neither of us could see because we are blind and we would be attending another Jonas Brothers concert that evening. What did this mean? Shit. My dad took Sara and I to a near by mall where thankfully they had an exact replica of my glasses. We bought them of course for another $145.00 which makes me ecstatic, but my daddy? Not so much. We went back to the hotel where I said goodbye to my parents and left with Andrea, Sara and Katie, for I would be spending the next week at Sara's house in Yonkers. While Katie, Sara and I got ready at Sara's house, Andrea went out and brought home a new pair of glasses for Sara. This evening we attended the first Prom themed Jonas Brothers concert for their summer "party tour". We, again, were V.I.P and rocked it out in our dresses. This evening, Nicolette and Ally joined Katie, Sara and myself for an evening at Sara's. The week at Sara's was amazing and was full of so many memories that I will never forget. I love you so much, Sar! (She hates that nickname, btw. So sorry dear). =)

July was a very boring month.

August was amazing. On the 5th my dad and I drove up to Lake George to visit my Uncle . We went out to ear near the lake with my Aunt and Uncle and then spent the night at his house. On the 6th we left Lake George and drove to New York City where we met up with Sara and Andrea right outside of TRL. Sadly we could not get into TRL to see Boys Like Girls, but instead we went to South Street Seaport where we met up with Ally, Nicolette and the Amanda's. Ally, Sara and I sang karaoke for all of South Street Seaport to hear. We sang the whole "It's About Time" CD, the first album from the Jonas Brothers. What was funny is that they would be arriving in about an hour. After the boys came, met people and left, I met CJ and we would forever have our insider of our accents. I love my NEW York and he loves his York. That kid is AWEsome, no doubt. What was hilarious was that they boys walked by while we were karaoke-ing their CD. After Seaport Sara, Andrea, my father and I went back into Times Square, went to Toys R' Us and rode the ferris wheel. We then ate at T.G.I Friday's and while we were eating a little boy pushed his face against the window and scared the living day lights out of all us, which was followed by us all cracking up. We then went to the Virgin Mega Store around 10pm and hung out in the cafe with Meagan, Morgan, Dana, Brooke and Ashley. We danced like freaks to waste time and at midnight we bought the Jonas Brothers CD that was released on the 7th while the boys also bought their own CD. On the 7th my father and I met up with Devon and her mother in Times Square in front of the Hard Rock and we then spent the day together being crazy. That night was the Jonas Brothers CD release party and it had been one year since I attended their first one. On August 15th my mother and I went to another Jonas Brothers concert which was also Joseph's birthday. That day I hung out with Krystle, Paula and Krista and I also met some of my great friends now, Avery, Sarah and Amber. This was a great night. =)

Fall;


September. Nothing exciting happened in September whatsoever. I went back to school, how boring. =P This month was spent getting used to the school I would be in for the next four years; Olympia High School.

October. The most exciting thing was probably Halloween. I was Tinker Bell and I spent the evening making my best friend, Brian, into Brianna. It was very fun and amusing, if you ask me. We went trick-or-treat with about 24 kids, which was definitely way to many. Half way through the night Stephanie's heels were hurting her so I kindly offered that she wear my flats while I wear her heels. While walking through the next lawn, I was being my normal clumsy self and tripped over bricks that I did not see. I badly cut my right foot and shin and was bleeding. None of my friends stopped to see if I was okay, FYI. Just Brian. Thanks, Bry! I now have scars and will always remember Halloween '07.

November. On the 18th my mother and I went to see Cute Is What We Aim For, Plain White T's, Gym Class Heroes and Fall Out Boy. This was an amazing show and Pete Wentz and I will be getting married soon. (I will keep you posted.) The rest of November was uneventful except for the very interesting Thanksgiving I had at my Uncle Mark's. My cousin Shannon and I like making dancing videos then like putting them on her huge TV to show the rest of the family.

Winter;


December. On December 16th I went to the Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus concert. I was second row and I rocked out with my friends Amanda, Nicolette and Joyce. The concert was amazing and Hannah/Miley was surprisingly amazing. The end of this month was amazing. From December 20th-24th I was with my best friend Sara, once again. On the 22nd Sara and I got picked up by Dom who took us to Push Play's CD release party. We walked up to the doors and waited with Ally, Sherri, Desiree, Sarah, Katie and Taylor to be let in early for sound check by Sue. We went in, watched Sound check and ate as people came around with ordurves (Yes, I spelled that incorrectly). The show started and they were amazing. D-Rock is the man, CJ is a duck, Steve is the cutest person ever, and Nick is adorable. Afterwards we stayed for the after party where we danced crazily. After everyone left the venue Ally, Sara and I were hanging out with Izzy and Eluedy in the venue and got to hang for a few minutes with the boys. Andrea picked us up around 1am and we went back, slept, etc. This was a great trip and I'm thankful I got to go on it.

All in all, 2007 was an amazing year that was filled with old friends, new friends, memories, insiders, vacations, parties, fights, drama, tears, laughs, everything and anything. I'm glad for everything that happened.

Bring on 2008 because I'm ready for it. It might not be like 2006, or 2007, but let's see what it's got and you never know, it might just be better ;]

Peace out 2007 <3.
I'll miss ya <3.

Until 2008..

Like it or love or leave it.

Like it or love it or LEAVE IT
You decide, you decide;
Don't waste my time.


I guess everyone reaches points in their life when they don't know who their true friends are. After going through times that test your friendship, that test to see if you're really supposed to be together, you'd think that you wouldn't have to have second thoughts. When you have a group of close friends, eight or nine in my case, you think you're golden. I mean, wouldn't you rather have a few close friends than a bunch of regular friends? I would. At times like these though, you have no choice but to second guess things. Is it right to stay together? What would it be like if we weren't together?

Tonight I'm not so happy with one of my friends. Why you may ask? Well, let's call my friend "Bob". I asked Bob if we were still going to get together one day. He replied saying that he did not know and asked what the plans were again. I ran the plans by him once more only to then be told that Bob wanted to hang out with "Dave". This means that Bob decided to figure out his options for that evening and in the end he would choose which plans he liked better. Obviously, these plans weren't mine. If you were really my "best friend" Bob, you wouldn't tell me you'd be with me and then ditch for your "lover".

Honestly, I want to move. Not just because of my friends, of course, just because I would love to live somewhere else. In New Jersey near the beach, in Long Island, White Plains, just not here. I need a change. I don't live close enough to the city. I need to leave NEAR the city; New York City. I'm talking half hour, one hour, or a little over an hour. Not SIX hours.

If only, if only..

Until next time.

Run baby run, don't ever look back.

December 28, 2007.



That is today's date. Exactly one year ago, I saw my boys. That's what I know them as, my boys, you might know them as the "Jonas Brothers". It's weird to think how much can change over a year. On December 28, 2006 I drove to the Shoppingtown mall in Syracuse. It wasn't even the good mall, either. It was a dump compared to the Carousel mall. Anyways, I drove to the Shoppingtown mall to see my boys. Sure, a lot of people where there but I guess 50 people would look like 150 if you were crowded around a stage. So, when it was time for the show the boys had two opening acts. Who were they, you may ask? The first performers were the Syracuse dance team. The ages of these girls ranged from 7-11, with two or three 13 year olds. What were they wearing? They were in vibrant rainbow jumpsuits with plastic shoulder straps. Hot, huh? Next, was Nuttin' But Strings. Now they, they were good. Anyways, my point is that in one year, one little year, they have gone from playing at dumpy malls with dancing teenies in rainbow jumpsuits as their opening act, to playing a 54 state sold out arena tour as one of the hottest teen sensations opening for the even hotter teen sensation, Miley Cyrus, more commonly known as Hannah Montana. Like I said, weird how things change, huh?

For sticking around for two years, hanging onto these boys by a thread, it may seem right now that I have gotten the short end of the stick. Sure, there have been one or two lucky moments throughout these two years, but seriously, is that all I deserve? This might sound selfish but please, don't take this the wrong way. I am so proud of these boys for accomplishing their dreams and achieving their goals. But, for supporting them, promoting them and most importantly loving them, for two years, a 'hello' is simply all I would ask for in return. Just to know that you see me and know I'm still here, still supporting, still promoting, still loving.. Maybe you'd give me a hug and thank me for all I've done, but in return I would say, "No, thank YOU for all you've done. For inspiring me, for changing my life, for bringing me together with some of the best friends I have. For being yourselves and staying grounded, for loving your fans and doing everything you can to please them. For being you."

My best friend Ally who became a fan a little after I did reunited with the boys today. They saw her and two of my other good friends and greeted them with hugs. MJ recognized them and commented, "There's perks of being around for a while". I am so happy for the day she had and so happy that this happened to her. For being a fan almost as long as I have, she deserved a reward.

I can't help but read the comment that MJ made repeatedly. "There's perks of being around for a while". My best friend experienced one of hers, will I get to experience mine?

"A dream is a wish your heart makes.."


As of now, I'm not so sure if my heart is shattering, or just wishing really, really hard.

Until next time..

No xo's.
No heart.

Check Yes, Juliet.

Run, baby, run
Don’t ever look back
They’ll tear us apart if you give them the chance
Don’t sell your heart
Don’t say we’re not meant to be
Run, baby, run
Forever we’ll be
You and me


Hello all! Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I actually don't know why I am saying hello to "all" or hoping "everyone" has a Merry Christmas because as far as I know, Ally is my only reader. (Love ya Al!) Anywho, I had a good Christmas. My number one present was to go to NYC to stay with Sara and then go to Push Play's CD release & after party on the 22nd. I stayed with Sara from the 20th until the 24th and I had a great time. =)

On the 20th my plane left around 3 and I got there around 4. I met up with Andrea and Sara and straight from there we went to the Friendly's that we ate at over the summer. This evening started out with a never ending flushing toilet and ended with a nice sleep in Sara's comfy bed with her next to me.

On the 21st, Andrea and I left the house around 11 to go pick up Sara from school. Sara got out at 11:15 and her along with her two friends, Danielle and Julia, joined us on our trip to the Westchester Mall. This mall is indeed my absolute favorite and I'm in love every time I am there. After the Westchester, Sara, Julia and I went to Cross County (where I didn't get shot!!) so Sara could get a shirt for the release party the next day. After, Andrea picked us up with Danielle and took us back to Sara's to get ready to go out again. That night we spent seven hours outside at Midland and just walking around with Sara's friends. A few notes from the night:

1. I now have a new BFF, Nicholas.
2. AJ has nice hair.
3. Kenny (the bald one) doesn't scare me anymore.
4. Karl's 'man hugs' scare me.
5. Matt is the cutest 6th grader in the history of the world.
6. Tony is hot and I don't care who knows =).


On the 22nd Sara and I slept until noon or a little earlier/later and then got ready for the night. Dom picked us up around 4 or so and we then enjoyed a very entertaining ride into Manhattan to Irving Plaza to see Push Play. While Dom was talking to friends in line, Sara and I went in front of the door where we met up with Sarah & some friends. We then waited about five minutes for Ally, Sherri & Des to get there. Since we were VIP for the evening, we waited for Sue to come to the door to let us in for sound check. While waiting for this to happen, Ally had a very intriguing conversation with one of the fan's mother's.

Mom; "Hey, what are you guys doing standing in front of the door?"
Ally; "We're on the sound check list."
Mom; "Oh, then won't they come outside to get you? You know, in the line?"
Ally; "No, we get in before you."
Mom; "Yeah, mhm, okay."
Ally; "WE'RE FRIENDS WITH THE BAND."
Ally; "Gosh, I was trying to say it nicely."


Love ya, Ally! =) The night was then very unexpected due to the fact that so many people came. After talking online with Matt for a while, I finally got to meet him and he is the cutest boy, ever! Too bad the poor kid was getting mauled by fans. The release was great, the boys set was great, everything was great. The after party was crazy and a lot of people also were included in that, which was also unexpected. After everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, left the venue it was only me, Sara, Ally, Izzy, Eludy, the boys, Matt, Sue, friends, family, and the workers. We got to talk to CJ, Steve and Nick while D-rock on the other hand magically disappeared (miss ya D!). We hung with them and Matt, blah blah blah, went home, Ally & I snuggled and held hands that night, the end.

The 23rd was spent going to church with Sara, then to the cafe with her and a few friends, then bumming it the rest of the day. That night Sara and I acted like we were drunk lying in bed, snuggled, held hands, acted mental, and fell asleep eventually.

The 24th was the day I departed from my love, Sara, and returned home to my family. I was stuck in JFK alone for about three hours, exhausted and with a head ache. As soon as I got back to my airport and met up with my parents, we drove straight to my Grandma's house for Christmas Eve with the family. Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Francy, Uncle Don, Uncle Craig, Aunt Nancy, Ryan, Jordan and even Jason were there. This was the first time I had seen Jason in about five years and I love him, end of story.

On the 25th all of the same people were there, minus Uncle Don and Aunt Francy, plus Uncle Mark, Aunt Phyllis, Shannon and Michael. I got lovely presents, money, gift cards, ect.

Now, as for the title of my blog and the song lyrics at the top, my second favorite present (first being the NYC trip) were concert tickets. Tickets to see whom, you may ask?

Cobra Starship.
Metro Station.
We The Kings.
The Cab.


I know you're jealous, please don't hate me.

Title of blog; Check Yes, Juliet.
Song and lyrics by; We The Kings.

Until next time..

I'm gonna start all over..

Hello everyone! =)

So, I know that I promised you an update five days ago and that promise obviously didn't follow through so I apologize. Instead, you gave me a few days to re-do my whole blog! I rearranged everything, gave the blog a new title, got a new layout, and put a song on my page. Isn't it pretty!? I think it is and I am very happy with my accomplishment ;).

For a while now I have been an active reader of double G's blog. I then came to realize how I wanted to blog regularly because it's just so nice to organize all of your thoughts into words. Now, I know that my blog will definitely come NO WHERE near as interesting as double G's blog because honestly, life is never that exciting unless you're touring on the road. Now that we're talking about touring on the road, I have to say how much I wish I could do that. It just seems so fun, you know? To travel the country and be on your toes 24/7, how exhilarating! Me, being a person who loves to be on their toes, would love it oh so much. Not to mention that I also love traveling a lot, a lot, a lot! While at the Hannah Montana; Best of Both Worlds concert and watching jump, dance and move all around the stage and the catwalk, I came to realize that I would love to do that. With how much energy I have and I bet you $100 that I would be great at that. If only that could happen; my life would be complete. I would love to tour the country with my best friends and dance around and perform every night. Well, a person can dream, can't they?

And now that we're on the topic of the Hannah Montana concert, I must say that it was incredible. Sure, I don't want to see my boys playing for a sold out arena. The boys that I knew two years ago who didn't even have more than 15 people at a club show, now playing sold out arena's. Don't get me wrong here, I'm so so proud and happy for them and how far they've come in the past two years but it just takes time to adjust to everything, you know? It's like someone who goes out and buys a new puppy, just a few weeks old, to be your new pet. The puppy won't immediately open up to your home after being with its fellow dogs for the previous months of his life. That puppy just needs time to adjust and get used to its new home just like I, and many others, need some time to adjust to the boys new fame. Back to the concert, it was fantastic. Before the show I hung out with my Geneva friends Avery, Sarah and Amber(in the picture with the tour bus). It was so great seeing them because I hadn't seen them since September! We got into all kinds of mischief backstage and had lots of fun. During the concert, I watched from second row seats with some of my best friends, Nicolette, Amanda and Joyce. The boys were great, but I've seen them several times in the past. Seeing Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus was a new and good person to see perform. She had so much energy on the stage, her outfits were all so adorable, and her singing was actually great!




So, what's coming up for me? I know you've all been wondering. Well, on Thursday afternoon my 3:00 flight leaves to transport me to JFK in NYC to arrive at 4:00 to be picked up by my best friend, Sara and her mother. I will be staying with my best friend Sara at her house in Yonkers on the 20th, 21st, 22nd, and the 23rd. During my stay we will go to NYC to see Rockefeller center and the big Christmas tree at night. That is one of the things that I'm looking forward to most =). On the 22nd we will be attending Push Play's CD release party where I, "York", will be re-united with CJ. At this party I will be seeing my other best of all best friends, Allyson. I love her so and miss her dearly! I will also be seeing a bunch of my good friends, all whom I have not seen since summer! Afterwards we will be dancing up a storm at the after party. All in all, this will be an amazing day, no doubt. I'm not sure what is planned for the rest of the trip, but I will be departing from Sara and her family on the 24th of December, Christmas Eve. I will then be celebrating Christmas Eve with my family and my grandma's house, followed by Christmas day at either my Uncle's, or my, house.

I do not believe I have anything else to tell you, so until next time..

♥.

I feel so untouched and I want you so much..

Hello all! It has been quite a while, that is certain.


Thought I would just let you know that I will be updating tonight.


See you soon ;]

♥.
