Bush is Back!

Unless you just stumbled on this blog by chance or live on the planet Mars, you know that I traveled to Los Angeles to see Bush’s first show together in 8 years at the Epicenter Festival. I won a pair of tickets on Twitter and the rest is history. What you may not know, however, is that I was able to watch the entire set from on the stage!

The story is one you hear of in fairy tales, most definitely not in real, day-to-day life and I still can’t believe how all the pieces fell perfectly into place. But they did. And it all began with one of my many silly fangirl dreams. I was at Bush’s first show with my Twitter buddy, Christine, and Gavin decided to have us watch it from the stage! There were a lot of other ridiculous dream-like details such as having to run backstage and change into “stage outfits,” but I left those out when I decided to post about the dream on Twitter and address it to Gavin himself. I went about my business as usual, when I randomly checked Twitter during a work meeting. I was almost knocked off my chair when I saw that Gavin had replied to my tweet with a simple, “duly noted.” Shortly after, he announced a contest and the grand prize was watching their set at Epicenter from…wait for it…ONSTAGE.

Musings

Yes, everyone, I am back!

I can’t lie and say that I am happy to be back though – I had such a great time in Southern California, I really wish my time there didn’t go so quickly. I always have a hard time when I need to come home from California trips, I can definitely see myself living there pretty happily. Unfortunately, it is not in the cards so I am satisfied to have plenty of friends (and family) allowing frequent visits to be easy and enjoyable.

The first thing that made this particular trip enjoyable was my sudden and random attainment of a pair of Muse tickets. Those of you that know me well, know that I have been aching to see them live for ages. Sure, I saw them open for U2 in Tampa last year, but it only served as a tease. Unfortunately, the band never makes its way near Florida – not that that has stopped me in the past from trying to secure tickets in other cities such as Boston or New York. However, the tickets always sold out immediately, leaving me to think that it was just not in the cards for me to see Muse headlining their own show.
So you can imagine my surprise when a friend from The Knot voiced via Twitter that she could no longer go to a Muse show in Anaheim the day I arrived in Los Angeles. In fact, she just so happened to tweet about it the same day that I found out they would be playing a show while I was there (they were actually playing several). I channeled my inner John Locke and took it to be destiny. They were meant to be mine!

Terribull’s Last Day

Hello Meli Dolls,

Today is my last day as Meli’s guest blogger… it’s been a treat to get to post  to her fantastic site and be a part of her blog.  Hopefully I will be lucky enough to get to guest blog for Meli again in the future when she goes on another adventure.

On to the good stuff…

So, how many of you watched Dexter? The premier was AMAZING… I am full of questions and already counting the moments until I get to see more… What road do you think that Dexter’s Dark Passenger will take?

Tonight is Glee… my other favorite, it’s the Britney Spears episode featuring six of her hit songs, I cant wait to see Heather Morris shine as a more than a supporting character in this one.

Well loves, off to get the day started…  I’m my own shameless promotion, my blog is still a work in progress, but I hope to keep in touch with you all there (eventually).

xoxo Terribull

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hello Meli Lovers!

This weekend has been full of naps and Jersey Shore episodes (a favorite guilty pleasure.)

Friday night was super relaxed, I cooked a yummy Chicken meal for friends and just hung out at home.  Saturday I made pancakes and watched The Rivalry (now I understand) with the Booo and spent most of they day being lazy. Saturday night was “party” night, headed out to South Tampa for some bar-crawling at Cheap and the Kennedy. I had a lot of fun dancing and spending time with awesome people.

I sort of gave up drinking… I still had 1 beer while out last night, but I am going to try a cleanse so to speak to see if nodrinky drinks allow me to see better results in my fitness goals

As for today… its a lazy Sunday… I slept in and may end up at the pool, I reeeeeeally need to clean the apartment and prepare for Dexter! I am so excited for Season 5 of my Dexter Morgan love affair.

XOXO Terribull

Happy Friday

Hi Meli Loves!

Happy Friday to all of you… the hair cut last night was a success (as it always is).  The fabulous Alisha gave me a cleaned up version of my ‘do.  I am very happy with the result, here is a shaky camera phone photo so you all may see…

Pretty “Stroup-erific” I think, I love it.

It’s a pretty quiet Friday so far. My shoes hurt my feet and its not even 8:30am and I am already thinking about sleeping in tomorrow…

I am excited for the weekend, maybe some board game family fun night time tonight with silly party time to be had Saturday night (censored pictures to follow of course!)

So Meli fans, what are your weekend plans?

xoxo, Terribull
