A collection of small thoughts
Not like you'd notice, not like there's anything that can be done. Nope not a thing. This isn't depressing, at least it shouldn't be, just words with feelings, just ideas going mentioned. I wish in my heart of hearts I knew what it was I am supposed to do. Who I'm meant to be, where I'm supposed to go. Some small clue that says this way or that. I'm exhausted, and need this nothingness to end. Not sure if I can take much more. But I know I have no choice in the matter. Good thing making the best of things is my specialty.
Christmas has come and gone, I'm glad everyone so far has throughly enjoyed their gifts. I'm fond of bringing smiles to faces and giving to those that has blessed me with so much. You honestly have no idea just how bright you all have made my days and nights. Love, friendship, happiness, life. Always remember at the end of the day all we have are our memories and connections. The stories we live are the things we can give, and including someone in your life, welcoming them to be a part of the most valued possession you have is truely the most beautiful thing on this Earth. I'm excited to finish giving out gifts and sending my love in yet another form.
I've had the pleasure this week to spend much needed time with my family members. I love them all dearly and although I see them on a regular basis I wish I spent even more time with each member. Shockingly I got to visit my Great Aunt who at this point is the closest thing I have to a grandmother. She's amazing, and as I have for the past 20 whatever years of my life, I continue to strive to be just as great of a person as she.
I wish more people appreciated the things they have, wheter its physical or mental. Not everyone is as blessed as others and it's a shame that there are some who just keep wanting, needing, begging, seeking, asking. Be happy with the current, the now. When you're always looking for better there is never a best.
Other things going on in my life that have totalled to my current state. Hmm let's see, Autumn has truely been the biggest test of character for me. Test of morals, test of intergrity, test of my true ideals and wants. If I had to relive September 22th through December 21st, I don't know what I would do. I'd want to say I'd do it all again exactly the same, but in hinesight probably not. Lots of highs and lows, tears and smiles. C'est la vie. I just hope the start of Winter is a death of the negativity and struggles. If not for me personally then for the others around me who need it just as much. I pray almost everynight that the burdens on my friends and families hearts are taken away. Everyone deserves to breathe easy every now and then.
On a totally unrelated matter, I've been thinking a lot about love and relationships this week. I think its the feeling of the season. Sharing with love ones makes one think about having a significant other to share with. I found myself breaking tradition momentarily and instead of watching A Christmas Story all of Christmas Eve night, I put in Love Actually and watched a completely different take on Christmas. So many different ways a relationship can form and grow or end. So much love in people, it's a beautiful thing and maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to have one of my own.
I think the biggest worldwind has been losing my job. I'm glad I wasn't fired, and maybe this is the opportunity I needed to figure out what I want in life and exactly how to go out and get it. However I did like a lot of things about my work, it was also horrific timing and I wish I knew sooner and could plan something. Thankfully there's a small cushion for my bills and I'm able to get some kind of payment, nothing near what I've been making but help nonetheless. Hopefully I find something new soon, and in the meantime can make some cash on the side either from freelancing or payments on debts. You know me I'll figure it out.
I spent a week cleaning my room and assisting on cleaning the house. All of my clothes are finally in my bedroom and I have about five laundry baskets too many. Going through my belongings yet again to donate some things away. Eventually I dwindle down and everything will have a place. Eventually...
My life hasn't been all bads, don't think that. I got things for Christmas I really really wanted, and some of the raddest books ever that make me just want to go out and paint like no other. I also have spent a good amount of time with the best of the best friends a girl could ask for. I saw Adrienne who I only get to see once a year. I hung out with Ebony whom I never spend time with. I went to some shows with Christine & Alexa, always good company as are Fiona & Erica. Shared some smiles and drinks with Josh all weekend, probably my favorite drinking partner next to Sara. Jeff has been home and I couldn't be more excited, I don't think anyone understands the realtionship I have with that boy other than him. I finally got to see Devin who I've missed immensely. He's one of the only people to understand what I'm going through right now. Being home means I actually get to see my parents who are legit my favorite people in the world. I could watch TV in bed with my mom all day and my dad can make any movie better. Even extended the olive branch in attempts to salvage some fallen friendships. I hope the social portion of December continues and improves throughout 09.
Sometime tomorrow I'm going to post a far shorter blog about my favorite things of 08! And not so favorite. Hopefully this will start some good conversations...
With each passing day, I wonder a little less. Not cause I've lost hope or interest; because I know what it is to play the hand that's dealt. You can't always get the winning hand but as long as you keep playing, odds are in your favor...

I'm amazed
I'm also amazed that some people I consider great friends have completely disappeared from my life without any notice. I'm definitely use to it by now but it still stings to know someone you'd do anything for would straight up ignore you, unwarranted. Everything happens for a reason...
Speaking of which, I've been dealt a bum hand these past few weeks and it seems that things aren't getting better. Actually worst. I don't know personally how much more bad news I can take, nor do I honestly want to find out. Too bad these things are out of my control. All I can do is pray each night that everything will be alright, in hopes that one of these days I won't awake with the remnants of my nightly tears.
I'm in no way shape or form complaining or nonchalant asking anyone for anything. I just ask that everyone pauses for a minute and realizes how good things are. Even with things in my life being as bad as they are, I'm still grateful that I am able to do the things I do and I have the people that I have in my life. Things can always be worse and tomorrow isn't promised to anyone. So I strive to appreciate each day for what it is, a new day full of opportunity and endless bounds for me to make the most of.

True on so many levels
I've been holding back long enough
I've been hurting to tell you some things
it's not the falling of the temperature
that's making all our bones run cold
it's the breeze you make
the presence felt when you're around me
and it feels like I'm at an all-time low
Monday, December 15
Who knows?
Where do we go
You cannot know
You will not know
When you just have to fight to be alone

Not quite right
No need for sorrow, I'm fine, seriously. It's just that from time to time, the small things will get to me. Every once in a while something will occur and I'll think about how much I miss that lady. She and I were very much alike and in the later years of her long life we started to bond.
I just ask all of you lovely people in my life to bear with me, especially if I seem distant. There's probably just something else on my mind. Give me a second to gather myself and we'll be good. No big like I said, I'm not depressed or harboring this intense feelings somewhere. Simply put I miss the grey-eyed red-haired lady I spent so many of my youthful summers with. Haha she makes me want to have a child just so I can see what genes he/she would inherit inside and out. If you think I'm blunt and straight-forward you should've seen my grandma she'd make even me gasp.

Not a good look
Tuesday, November 25
Hi I'm Monique
One thing I'll never get is why people care so much about what other people are doing? Why does it matter where I am, who I'm with, or how I got there? Does my existence threaten you? I wish one of you would just explain it to me cause I'm all kinds of lost. If I'm hanging out somewhere I'm obviously doing me, you should do the same. I guess I should just be glad that I'm confident enough in my own train wreck of a life to not need to feed my ego off of someone else's misfortunes. I mean in all honesty half the time I don't even notice people. That's what we call being in your element.
One request I do have is, if you're going to talk shit about me, use the facts. There's so much accessible information that could probably damage my reputation (or lack there of) that no one needs to assume anything or try to draw conclusions.
I also don't get how someone can judge who deserves what. I personally say the more the merrier, legit. Also isn't it the band's call who they put on their guest list or who they bring inside? If you don't work for the band, management or their label you don't get a say. I mean feel free to tell anyone and everyone who will listen, not to associate with me. But when I've done nothing to prove your words true, I doubt they will be more than just useless banter. Give it up!
I miss Vegas, at least those kids had a legit reason to hate me.
The stars give really good advice sometimes
I'm one of the most positive, genuine people I know so maybe I can motivate myself by motivating others. I mean things are already looking up this week, no impromptu car troubles and I'm off Thursday & Friday. Yay happiness!
Monday, November 24
I rarely ever do this
I saw my favorite band twice and I couldn't be happier. There's something about The Academy Is... that makes everything right. I guess that's what happens when you're a megafan. Every time I looked up at that stage my smile would be bigger and what's better than sharing such an experience with some of your closest friends. Philadelphia was so freakin empty it was a little disheartening because I think TAI has paid enough dues that they shouldn't still be the band in my pocket.
Entered Electric Factory way later than I intended but I think that happens everytime I frequent that venue, did get free parking which is always a win. First person I see when entering the door is Andrew. Haven't seen him since August which is hella long when I would see him multiple times a month. Was not expecting him to leap over the merch table, haha. Love that kid. Got to chat it up for a bit, visited Erica & Fiona upstairs. Talked about Hey Monday since I missed them, one day I'll check em out live. Danced around and got stares because obviously people don't dance to music in 2008. Christine and I just never got the message. The rest of that night is a blur, sick ass light show and breath taking preformance. After the show hung out in the rain talked about the dying population of red heads then watched some people til they creeped me out too much. Massive wave of sleepiness hit me and I sped my orange baby back south.
Friday was rediculous after much waiting, a little nap I finally made it to Fells Point to celebrate Sara being legal. Lots of free shots and drinks, good times all around. Met some fun people and decided we need to explore Baltimore more and find other fun bars to spend our weekends in. Still can't believe she's legit now. Come on Christine!!
Saturday I went shopping, fell in love with these jeans and even more so because I needed a smaller size. Yay starvation! I need to get back in the flow of working out, my brain needs the clarity. Sunday went to see my babies play acoustic and it reminded me of 05. They looked so happy and I was glad that fans came and new faces stayed around. I have a feeling 09 will be a good year for them. Fingers crossed.
Monday!!! AKA Day two of the bogus journey. Didn't see My Favorite Highway but enjoyed the longer than ever drive to DC. According to William, they were really good and look at that they are now signed to a major label. Well shit! Anywho finally get there head over to Will Call so I can get my tickets. As I'm about to go inside I hear "MONIQUE!!!!!!" not really sure where it comes from I see sketch ass bro all kinds of bundled up, squint and realize it's Andrew. Big hugs and then I get stoked cause I remember 930 does all the merch which means major hangs. Good times dancing around. There was some sketchy stalker-like activity going on. I wish I could go places and enjoy a show without being lurked out in the corners, seriously? My life not that glorious trust me, neither is my friends. Alexa and Christine were somewhere, I watched TAI's set. Almost melted when William pulled out the acoustic and played A NEW SONG!!! egads. Show ended talked to some kids, one girl was a bit too sassy with me. Waiting for D to count and hung with Dyana for a bit. Chilled downstairs to get warmed, missed William by 2 secs then went outside to join my froze friends. So glad I didn't work that show. Fun times after the show, glad that Michelle got her car back. Didn't get to see one of my favorite people to see on tour but did get some awesome looks. Thank you fans for the amazing cupcakes, didn't mean to get a chocolate one but it was still delicious. Lots of stories being told as we caught up on the last 3 months of our lives. Finally said goodbye, eventually got home then had to deal with car issues. Not fun, especially when people aren't cooperating. Glad that nothing was wrong and everything got taken care of, not glad for literally getting minutes of sleep.
Tuesday I was absolutely miserable at work, could barely stay awake and as soon as I got home I passed out for a little more than 12 hours. Much needed rest.
Woke up dumb early on Wednesday due to sleeping the previous day away, Alexa was also awake since she slept almost as much as I did Tuesday night. She kept me company most of the morning. Hilarious twitter conversations once Christine & Zack woke up. Then wham! I realized it was the 19th. November 19th. Wednesday November 19 2008. Well shit, never thought it would exist in the flesh. Put my game face on, prepared myself for a loooong day and headed to work. Work flew by, hopped in my car slid over to Sonar. Saw a couple familar faces but had business to take care of so didn't leave the car. Did however donate my badass parking spot to Frenchy French then headed up 83. Phone finally started working again, apparently towers were down all over Baltimore so I just needed to get out of that area.
I got to Chameleon Club so freaking late, sorry again Alexa. I did however finally get to see DGD and they were nuts. Next time they come to Baltimore, I'll def be there. Next up was Senses Fail so I was in heaven. 2nd favorite band, uh yes please! Played a good variety of songs and I heard basically everything I wanted to hear. Headed out to the car to get dan's gift, waited around for what seemed like forever. Chatted to the three I wanted to see before I left. Haha even got a request that I didn't get a chance to fulfill, sorry bro. Might've been for the better since we're not 100% sure if I'd get slapped in the face or not. Wanted to stay and catch up at the bar but decided to go back to my own city.
Fastest trip home ever. Left at 10:40 arrived at 11:45. For the record, Lancaster to Baltimore should take an hour 40. Haha reminded me of driving to Pittsburgh, oh man Pittsburgh... Anywho get there and there's still a good amount of kids around. See some familar faces who are surprised to see me, I explained I stopped by to say hey to everyone on my way home. They asked if I saw a friend I didn't even think they knew I knew then remembered DC did happen. The more people I ran into the more I wish I went to the show. It's not often these kids are legit in my city. Maybe it'll become a regular stop on future tours. HTL filled me in on all kinds of things that I had no recollection on. Note to self, what happens in Vegas is better when you can remember. Haha Kyle also filled me in on a few other things. That was a good night afterall. Ran into Christine and Zack as I traveled around Saratoga street. Ended up inside Sonar where I saw even more people. Definitely my favorite kids to hang out with, hands down. Many many many shots were taken. I think we stopped making toasts and just kinda looked all around raised glasses and drank. Throughout the night more people ended up showing up and more shots were taken. I would've been better off with a glass of vodka at one point.
"It's funny cause it's true" I just kept thinking that, watching the nonsense take place. I really wish more people were that honest in my life. Reason number a million why I love that kid. Just when I thought I had everything figured out another turn of events would come about. I legitamently felt bad for not going to the show, apparently no one else cared cause I showed up eventually. Guess that's friendship. I mean it's not like I deserved to be at that show anyway... 4am bus calls mean very little sleep for Monique, but I wouldn't trade that night in for the world. Spring needs to get here ASAP, starting to miss them already. Maybe I'll plop in for one more Sassynight before it ends.
Heavily considered going to NJ on Thursday but instead found myself at Recher. ETID are so freaking good, better than what I was expecting and The Bronx are always a treat. The weekend was full of hang outs with friends and intimate parties. Wasn't feeling quite like myself so didn't want to be out and about full party mode. It was quite uplifting to see my friend and his new room. It's like we're grown ups or something. Haha. Miss that kid more and more each tour. Ended the weekend with a bra fitting, Tim Gunn would be proud. Not stoked to buy all new bras, but I'm sure the fellas will be more than thrilled to know the size, me not so much.
All in all it's been a silly month full of surprises and smiles. A little heartache and a lot of eye-opening. Wonder what else is left in these cards. I do know that I need to get on the ball cause if what I was told Wednesday is true, I don't have much time left!

I have to have this!!
Man I could go to a show and take dumb candid shots and then just hand them out. That's better than waiting til you get home to post it on the myspace. Ahhhhh decided, I must own this printer. I wish I wasn't such an electronics addict.
Sidenote I bought The Price is Right for Wii last night, can't wait to "Come on down!" after work. =) One more reason to have a Wii Party!

Definitely not off on Veteran's Day
Saturday I didn't leave my house and it was such a great day, I need more of those. It would've been even better if I replaced the cleaning and laundry with reading and movies, but it was good nonetheless. Ideally I want a day where everything I do is for my mental wellness. granted cleaning clears my head but I don't want any physical labor or stresses. Just chill, calm, relaxation.
Just thinking about it makes me smile.
I'm excited for Wednesday, it's the first day on my calendar in a while that I plan to do nothing aside from going to work. The more I think about it the more I may cancel plans on Saturday & Sunday to get more cleaning done. Maybe even play a video game or sleep. It's a bummer cause those were two days I actually wanted to do what I planned, but c'est la vie! I will always cut from myself before others. One day...
I wish people weren't so selfish sometimes, if you say you're a friend then why can't people depend on you? Dumb dumb dumb. I hope to never treat my friends the way I've seen them treated. Even if it kills me!

Not a second to waste
Then your are the time
I'm patiently waiting
When you're out of line
And I'll be the question
If you'll be the answer
...
I'd sing you a song
But I'm feeling quite off
In my heart
It's occupied
And now's not the time
The time

I think we have an emergency
yup, still holds true
bleh
So much built up passion and anger, not good for the heart. I already don't sleep I don't need to harbor any resentment, I'd cut you if I could. I am however very thankful for everyone that gave up their time/money/sleep/ect ect to insure that I enjoyed my birthday. It brings me to tears just thinking of your generosity. Love, love love. I feel it.
With that being said, dear assholes that I call some of my best friends. I had a birthday a week ago, thanks for not calling/texting or sending me the message just to say happy birthday. With that being said I also made it to Vegas and made it back safely. I know you were so concerned... It think it's really awesome how you couldn't drive an extra 10 minutes just to grace me with your presence. No worries, just give me some bullshit excuse; I'll smile and say "its whatever" and we'll go back to being the best of bests. Cause its what I do...
THANKS!

You're killing me, I'm killing myself
From the moment I saw you
I was hypnotized
Couldn't wait to get you alone
So I could walk with you
So I could talk with you, oh

Ra Ra Birthday
However, I know that this isn't going to fly with some of you so I've made yet another wishlist. I'm not a fan of making these, so I hope you appreciate it...
First and foremost, a link to everything I've posted in my blog that I wanted, the Christmas wishlist from last year is an excellent start as it's still up to date and very relevant.
Just as a heads up as far as sizes go I wear a Large in shirts unless its layerable and goes on the bottom then get me an XL so it will actually show. Good rule of thumb you know what I look like, hold it up and see if everything is going to fit where it's supposed to. For shoes I wear a 10 in womens, a 9 in mens, and an 8 in Chucks. If buying Chucks make sure it says 8 on the bottom, and not 6. I trust all of you to make good choices, you know my style. NO SKULLS! Please and Thank you!

A Celebration of Me!
Party at my house October 25th!
Basement party with beer pong/flip cup on the deck for those who enjoy drinking games. Dance party will be taking place in the main room with music provided by my Zune, various MP3 players and some mix CDs. Feel free to bring some sounds, but I assure you if it sucks, it'll get cut off. You can wear your costume if you'd like but it's not a Halloween party its a Birthday Extravaganza. I also have another floor of my house available to hang, just most people never see it. There may be some Wii or Scene It action, not sure if my mom is cooking so feel free to call her up and ask.
Yes 60+, my house rolls deep and gets a little crazy. Bring a friend or whatever, but no one I'm not fond of or they will be asked to leave. No drama and no worries let's just some kids going dumb! New as of this year, if you plan to sleep in my basement clear the shit with me first. I can't have kids disrespecting my domain. Thanks!
I'm lazy so below is the invite list. If you talk to any of these people let them know please. Help me out and just spread the word to the masses.
