Help Me Find My Way- Rooney

I'm asking everyone around me

How to live my life

I know the answers I keep hearing

But I listen close each time

I'm waiting for something

To click but it don't come

I wish I didn't have to choose

Then there's no one to blame

Help me find my way

'Cause I've been lost since you've been gone

Like the rose you left behind

'Cause I can see the ground

Help me find my way

Help me find my way

There's only so much I'm prepared for

You can't expect me to fly

I've been trying my best to finish

Where you left off

Who am I supposed to trust?

Every smile speaks

I'll have to teach myself

How to live and to learn

Help me find my way

'Cause I've been lost since you've been gone

Like the rose you left behind

'Cause I can see the ground

Help me find my way

Help me find my way

Help me find my way

'Cause I've been lost since you've been gone

Help me find my way

'Cause I've been lost since you've been gone

Like the rose you left behind

'Cause I can see the ground

I need you everyday to tell me what to say

Help me find a way

Just help me find my way

LIES-McFly

Better run for cover

You're a hurricane full of lies

And the way you're heading

No one's getting out alive

So do us all a favor

Would you find somebody else to blame

'Cause your words are like bullets and I'm the way your weapons aim

I guess I could fill a book with things that I don't know about you baby

You're not misunderstood but you got

You got to go

(Lies) Living in a fantasy

(Lies) Don't even know reality

(Lies) When you start talking I start walking

Don't even wanna know the truth

(Lies) The devil has his eye on you girl

(Lies) When you start talking I start walking

(Lies) LiesLiesLies

Yeah, Yeah

So don't forget your seatbelt

Don't you think of picking up the phone

Better say your prayers 'cause you're never gonna make it home

Did you miss the stop sign

That last decision was your last

'Cause you can't come back once you're lying in the broken glass

And I hope you get to hear me say, "Who gets the last laugh now"

(Lies) Living in a fantasy

(Lies) Don't even know reality

No more excuses

No more running

Only God can save you now (God can save you now)

'Cause I know the truth

Time is running out

And I'm just one drink away

And I'm back in Wonderland like it was yesterday

And I hope you get to hear me say,

"Who gets the last"...

"Who gets the last"...

"Who gets the last laugh now"

*I'm done too.*

"Life's a Climb, but the view is great...."

I think that's enough cheese...

Well since last I wrote, I believe I was packing for my fun-filled weekend in NYC and beyond.

Saturday day morning I got up at the "CRACK-ASS of dawn", and blasted boy bands of the past and present with some Taylor Swift thrown in... As we went throughsnow and rin to finally get to Wyckoff, NJ at about11-noonish?

I don't really remember...

But some of you may be wondering why the hell we went to Wyckoff, NJ...

But no one really cares about this blog except the people who would know, so I'm not even gonna say why.

We drove through town, getting lost a bit before we finally past their old church that their father used to preach the good word to the people of Wyckoff, NJ...

...Then we kinda went by their old house....

... And then we kinda drove by it again...
...And again...
...And maybe a couple more times =D.

And really as much as we creeped ourselves out, we had fun thinking about how they used to play in that front yard, and go to that church where apparently "Nothing's too hard for God?!?!"

Haha.

...But we behaved ourselves and ended up taking a quick stop at the town's pretty much happenin' part called "Boulder Run"...
It was basically Shop City in Wyckoff, and we took a gander going in a couple stores, our favorite being the "Stop, Shop, Drop & Roll" [haha Caity]... Where we got a magazine of New Jersey's best and some much needed peach jelly before going into a Starbuck's for a potty run...[If you only knew WHY I found this picture to be so hilarious....]

Then we hit the road and tried to locate our next stop: Jones Beach.

This location was really just for shits and giggles.

A chance to see the ocean, and relax before having to go into the hectic streets of nyc.

And we may have gotten lost and almost killed going there and back but it was definitely worth it to see this:

It was cold, but gorgeous and I'm so glad we got to go there.

Like I said though, we went to have a little breath of ocean air before having to get back in the car and head into NYC.
So I think that's right after a car almost hit us and we got a little lost before having Paige [Ash's GPS that we later re-named to I can't remember what...] Get us to the city.

We even got to go over the Brooklyn Bridge [!!!]...

Just to await TONS of traffic and try and find out hotel.

Down the street of our hotel was this HUGE pillow fight too, that we had to go through... TWICE.... As we were hit with pillows and then getting yelled at by cops right before we FINALLYYYYYYYYY found our hotel.

Whew =D.

We made it up to the room and it was FABULOUS!!!!

We had out own kitchenette...

Comfy big bed, desk a bathroom that was actually big and clean...

And our view....We just mostly relaxed and called our parents before we finally decided to get out and head to Times Square.
We took the subway down there, which was new for the other half of our group.... And got out right down the street right down the street from our first stop: MADAME TUSSAUD'S...

Inside we had to wait a bit before we got to go through and see all the statues....

Like...
Oprah,
Johnny Depp,
Tyra Banks,
Carrie Underwood,
and Leonardo DiCaprio before going past Obama and a few others before we got to see these 3 random ones....

haha =P
Of course there were pics taken =D.

[Whispering Sweet-Nothings in Kevin Jonas' ear]

After JB we just contunued to The Beatles, The Spice Girls, NSYNC and Britney before we got to finish up with Zac Efron....

And "SchMilerz" Cyrus. =DAfter we left, it had already gotten dark but the night was still young.

We ended up going to have a look around Planet Hollywood, where we walked in and tuned the corner to see.... JB'S HANDPRINTS hanging on the wall...Eep!

So we obviously took pics and the only other thrill in my life was seeing the Prom outfits that Kristen Stewart and [*sigh*] Robert Pattinson wore in "Twilight".

[J.S. R-Pattz's junk was in them pants =P]

So anyways, we left and didn't really have any other aim [except the Disney Store which sadly was closed ;(...] except for Pinkberry.

So we took the subway and walked in a pretty creepy area of town [rat included... ewww I didn't look lol]... to finally make it to the BEST FroYo [ew] I'd ever had.

We got some samples and took the rest back to the loooong trip home. [Thank God for ice packs...]

There we really just kind of relaxed and got some room service before decided designated shower times to go through before Caity's friend came the next morn.

And I had a pretty good night sleep before waking up to a very loud and scary Goodnight & Goodbye.

Niceeee...

Then I took my shower and got ready just about the time Caity's friend Kevin called saying that he got an earlier train...

Oh boy.

We all were actually pretty good by the time he got there and Al & Ash went to go get him.

Now I was a little nervous about meeting this kid bc I usually am like "eh" when meeting new people, and I'd seen him in a movie, but once he stepped in the room and introduced himself...

No worries.

He talked with Caity as we got everything together, and then we all went down to check out and put our stuff in the car so we could have a fun filled day...

So we left and decided to hit up the Seaport first.

It was Gorgeous, and after we got to see the view for a bit we went inside...

And I got to show off my Grandpa!!!! BAM!
[He's so popular...]

Anywaysssss...

After that we tried to find a place to catch a ferry to the Sature of Liberty...
Butttttttt after seeing the long ass line... This was about as close as we got...

Well....

Since we didn't really go, we kinda took the subway down tothe Macy's area, where they were having a FlowerFest, and a Petacular Fair.

So went inside for a bit and they had really awesome displays...

...Before we made our way outside and near a stage where Push Play was about to perform!!!

So I got really excited and since we were there, Ashley offered to stay behind with me so that I could see them. And the other decided to go off after some of the girls were recognizing Kevin... whgoops....

So me & Ashley stayed and had a good time... Takin vids... Wathing CJ watch us... accidently making fun of CJ b/c of this picture... ...And Nick saw us =X [whgoopssssss]...

After they played, we got "in-line" for a meet & greet and that's where things got...

Eh.

we had a guy take our pics for us and he was gonna take it at the same time which I didn't know, so I backed away and then CJ told us to lean in and grabbed Ashley's arm... to get this picture:

Pretty fierce not gonna lie.

Thennn I wanted to get a pic with just C.J. and so I asked him and he said "You know, you are really killin' us with these individual pictures..."

And all I got out was a disappointed and confused "Oh...?"

And then he signed a bag before saying "OK go ahead but make it quick quick quick quick...."

So I ended up getting this:

...What a tool.

Anyways on our way out, I didn't really hear it but Ash said that when she thank'd Derek, he answered with a very snarky "uh huh".

So we know we're gonna end up seeing them again at Bamboozle and we're gonna do a couple of things right back to them. Only somewhat maturally.... Lol.

Anyways, we left to go to the B.K. Lounge to meet Caity, Al & Kevin ["Where's the B.K. Lounge?!"... "OHHHHHHHHHHH"]

So there they were... Along with an Aaron Carter look-a-like, and we took the subway to get to Times Square again.

Once there we kinda decided that we would eat at Planet Hollywood.

And there not only did Kevin get recognized... But we got to meet another celeb... well kinda...

The guy who recognized him actually did a few dating shows and a True Life for MTV!

So that was pretty awesome... And then right after that, we ate some delicious food, and Kevin recognized once again before we got to go back out.

About then we decided to be on out way to Rockafellar center, before Caity had to stop to go to the bathroom real quick.

The rest of us waited outside where we established that we should be facebook friends, tempted to take pics with Spongebob, and one of the best moments of the weekend was when a gay guy recognized Kevin and I think he pretty much made his life.

Hahaha. Soooooo funny.

Just about the time Ash had to be the awkward one to get a pic with Kevin [lol], and then we kind of realized that we'd been waiting for Caity for a good almost half hour...

We all got kind of worried and only got one text from Caity saying that she wanted to go home after...

So we went in and found her sitting down lookin kind of off before she said that she just kinda had a panic attack.

So we were all worried and freakin out about her, and tried to get her to calm down and it took a while, but she was fine after a while... Thank God.

We decided to finally get back out and as we stood there for a little bit, we asked somone if they could take a group pic of us.

So there were are...

The FIERCEst group in the whole damn city that weekend.

JUST.
SAYIN'.

Lol. So we crossed the street [almost got hit], and Kevin got us a cab to take us back to the parking garage... And we got out.

We kept Caity good, were entertained the entire way... and made it home finally at about 11pm.

So all in all....

An AMAZING trip.

Kevin was great company,
we got to do SOOOOOO much...
Had a lot of laughs for all of out stupid moments...
["Are we goin' into the STOP SHOP DROP & ROLL?" -Caity]
["We had to get up at the CRACK ASS OF DAWN..."- Ashley]
["They were PICKET-FENCIN' outside of the hotel"- Al]
["Where the hell is the B.K. Lounge?!?!"- Me]
... And a favorite vacation destination that we will have to repeat soon.

I loved every minute of it. And I guess that's it.

Soooo...

yeah...

...

Tootles!

-♥PoCa [really wants some Pinkberry]

P.S. Just a couple of updates:

1) Apparently the day we left we found out that JB is going to be at Bamboozle with Honor Society!!! Which is both good and bad.... blahhhh...

2) And we found out that, that night... Zac Efron flew in to the city that night... Miley was there the next day...

And a week [and a day] later which is today... Kevin Jonas was in his hometown at THE Starbucks we were at.

F MY LIFE.

=)

"Whoa... Slow Your Roll..."

Ok so...

I know I haven't written in a while, and when i did I wasn't exactly in the best mood in the world, but I will say that things have gotten better.

Two weekends ago... [I think?]...

Unique and Chris came for a visit.

It was kind of last minute considering she texted me at like 7pm Thursday and said she was coming Friday around 3, and staying the whole weekend.

Uh... Okayyyyy...?

So I cleaned and she came at about 3/4 that Friday afternoon.

We went right to the mall b/c Chris had a hole in his boot and needed to buy new ones. Me and Unique walked around with and without him, and just kind of caught up. [And talked about Twilight bc she's a Twilight fan too =D)

Then we went to shoppingtown for a sec before getting taco bell and heading back to the house.

We watched TV, and movies.... we're always movie people...

Then i had to get ready about 9 to be picked up by Brina for the Twilight DVD Release Party.

She got me about 10:30, and we headed out to Shoppingtown with about a gajillion [yup a gajillion... ] other fans.

And some of there were about as crazy as JB fans.

We had to stand in a line to get in the store to shop, enter contests and do some trivia... and we just mingled and signed a guestbook.

When we got to go in, I didn't actually buy anything Twilight and just got a fierce hat.

Then it really was a loooooooong wait til we had to get in line for the DVD, but we kept ourselves busy dancing with the Edward Cullen background, smellin' the pickled-scented box, and stealing lots of tootsie rolls... or at least I did.

After a while, we FINALLY got to get in line for the DVD.
Watched another girl who's pretty much my gothic-soul twin... danced and flirted with the Edward cut-out....

Then when it was time to go up to the register for the dvd...

I kind of ACCIDENTILY [and I stress the word ACCIDENTILY] commited a crime...

Here's how it went down...

Brina was getting her dvd and my A.D.D. Self decided to play with the mood rings, and as I'm trying to show Brina, it was my turn to get the DVD, so I did, and was so jazzed!!

I got in the car, we jammed the soundtrack like it was our jobs... I tip-toe into the house, and go upstairs to the bathroom to wash my hands and go to take off my ring...

My ring?

It was then I didn't really remember wearing a ring, and BAM! There was my ring going from blue to purple/yellow...

Whoopsie.

Yeah that's how rebellious I am... lol.

I still wear that ring actually, it's kind of a good luck charm.

Anyways, so I watched the movie til about 4 am... and it wasn't really smart considering I was getting up at 8/9 ish to be picked up by Caity and Ally to get Kelly Clarkson tickets for the Fair [!!!!!!].

Caity texted me saying they were gonna go pick them up at the ticketmaster at Macy's... which USED to have a ticketron... Only... they had it when it used to be Kaufmann's.

Since they didn't anymore I realized that you would have to get them at the fair... And it would probably have the entire town there so I offered to go and save us a spot.

So my dad dropped me off and offered his jacket bc it was a little cold, but in the sun I was fine, so I refused.

I waited about an hour or so and when the line started moving, I had to go in the shade where I pretty much froze to a slow death.

It was horrible.

I was getting closer and closer and Caity & Al still hadn't shown, and my dad was off eating and I only had enough for maybe 2 tickets. [Of course]

But they made it like literally as I was going in and to say it was worth it...

Would be an understatement.

I got 7th ROW FOR KELLY CLARKSON!!!!

And I was beyond jazzed and I seriously can't wait for her!

After our excitement, we went to Fayetteville-Manlius area to shop at Target while Caity had a voice lesson, and the Red Robin after for lunch and prank. [I put a Nick J sticker up on Caity's car while she thought I was in the bathroom. Madd ninja.]

So then also while we were there I knew I was neglecting my sister and her boo... and I asked them if they wanted to go to the zoo... b/c Unique is a zoo freak apparently and an old friend works there.

So we were gonna meet them and they ended up getting there before we did and started going through without us...?

Um okay...

I even Finally caught up with her and that's where things got "Awkwarddd..."

I still hadn't gotten through with Caity and Al, and when I saw Unique & Chris, they had already gone through.

And she said that they were gonna go because they were meeting my parents...

Um what?!

Because they were gonna eat at Dinosaur BBQ... and then see a movie.

Uhhhhhh what?!?!

I said that I would meet them at the restaurant after I went through the zoo.

I figured it would be fine considering I already ate so I saw no point in going to eat right then...

And Unique I think was a little bit pissed?

For the few seconds after, I was good til my mom called...

She yelled at me for not spending time with them, which... Ok given.

But I got really pissed bc the DVD party and getting Kelly Clarkson tickets was already on the agenda...

I didn't even know she was coming til Thursday night...

And she had plans of her own which she didn't even do so it wasn't my problem.

But nah, I got bitched at.

I already felt bad, and then my mom calls me again to tell me that she was waiting for a table at Dinosaur BBQ and they wouldn't seat them until I was there....

WTF?!?!

So now they would be able to blame me if I didn't get there quickly.

I tried to, but really tried not to rush Caity & Ash.

And then I got dropped off at the restaurant and finally caught up with everyone.

We ate, and I got comments from the damn waitress....?!?!

"Oh you finally showed up huh?" [wtf?]
"You gonna finish them fries" [bc duh... I already ate]

"What the Crap?!"

So after the restaurant we had a quick minute at home, and then we went to see Bedtime Stories... which was Hilariousssss...

Then I was kinda wiped out from last night and that morning... So when Chris & Unique were gonna ehad to another old friend's Amanda's I decided to stay in.

I told Caity I was free and she sent back "so your free?"
...
I was...

And she came back with "3D Movie? My treat!"

And I figured I could go bc they weren't there and they probably wouldn't be til a bit later.

But my mom was NOT having it and said that I was to stay up til they returned and visit.

So I watched Twilight and then some tv before I got so effing tired of waiting up that I went to bed b/c it was about to be midnight...

What a waste of a good 3d movie opportunity...

So I fell asleep actually trying to wait and see just how late they got home.

And Unique told me the next morning that they didn't get in til 1:30... [Ummm where's their lecture mom?]

Anyways....

That last day they were there, we just chilled at home and watched the S.U. Game.

they left not too long after and through everything wierd between me and Unique, when she hugged me to leave she said she didn't wanna go and that she was gonna kidnap me.

She still loves me :)

lol.

So after they left, I was still wiped out, but I figured since I had nothing else better to I would invite Caity, Al, Ash and Brina over for a viewing of Twilight.

We actually went out to get some delicious Shamrock Shakes, and watched the movie...
Which became a little awkward/annoying with Brina laughing at every little thing Caity asked/comemnted on [which was understandable bc she hadn't seen it before or heard about the series]...

So it didn't go as smooth as we'd hoped.

Lol.

Anyways...
I know that was an unnecasary detail of that weekend, but I was supposed to blog about it before... and I just snuck it in.

Since then and the last blog...

I haven't been completely house arrested, and pictures have returned to my wall... Just a little different than just JB...

New York is happening!!! I am actually packing in between whatever the hell else my mom is making me do before I go... lol.
And I'll probably blog about it all when i get back [hopefully], on Sunday =D

Unique informed me when she was here that she was having her official baby shower on May 3rd... which happens to be the Same day I am going to Bamboozle!

Of course.

So there I go again... unintentionally snubbing her again.... Dang!

Jonas also premiers the night before Bamboozle! So I still say there should be a party!
Lol.

Don't really know what happened to Ryan Cabrera, but whatevs...

Waarped Tour? Kayla?

And I am super super SUPERRRRR excited to say that I AM going to see the Jonas Brothers this summer.

Me, Caity & Ashley [No Ally ;*(], are going to take the complicated 7 hour journey to Columbus, OH , on August 26th...

So we can be just under completely dead from exhaustion, to go back the 7 hours [sleep required somewhere in there] to see Kelly Clarkson the very next day.

Oh boy... Should be fun.

Anywayssss... That's all I know for now.

That and Wet Seal is have a store in Carousel so I wanna try and work there.
BAM!

I guess that's it.

I have to get today finished so I can enjoy this weekend.

Til whenevs...

Peace Out.
