I know it has been a super long time but so much has been going on that I haven't had much time to write a blog. I have been super busy with my adventure here and have a lot to write so get comfortable.
Ok to start...about the second week of June Ryan and I got asked to leave the apartment. It was too many people (4 people to a one bedroom) and just to loud all the time. We had one week to move. Ryan's mom was coming in from Australia so they were heading to Arizona and Paul was flying in for my Bday and then we were off to Vegas, so a week was really tight. Ryan ended up staying with his mom when she got here so he was out on the Tuesday. It was so upsetting. This was the first time in 4 months that we had to spend 4 days apart. LOL corny I know but it was really weird. I had to sleep by myself haha. Anyways it was okay because Paul flew out on the Wednesday for my Bday.
We had a blast. It was so good to see him. I couldnt stop touching his face lol. He said I talk really funny,k that I have an American accent now with Aussie slangs (all Ryan's fault) plus he thinks I have turned into a hardened bitch. It's true my attitude has changed since living in Hell Aye. He said I used to be so sweet now I'm mean LOL I guess we will see what you all think when I get back. The Thursday we did an LA City Tour. It's a mini van with no roof and they take you all through LA to see famous peoples houses. It was pretty awesome. We saw the houses of Doctor Phil (which was my favourite), Christina Aqguilara, Eddie Murphy, Playboy Mansion, Michael Jackson, Julia Roberts - sometimes her kids are outside selling lemonade. It's cheap lemonade too apparantly, why would the children of a celebrity sell cheap lemonade you ask? Because THEY DON'T KNOW SHE IS FAMOUS!!! I know right! How weird is that. We went by Courney Cox's house, our tour guide said that "she doesn't seem to nice, that when they go by with the tour bus if she is outside she doesn't even wave, that she seems a little mean" just as he said that we here from the front door "THATS RIGHT!" lol she heard him over the speaker too funny.
The next day Paul took me to universal studios. Soo much fun. We booked it through the hostel so we got a shuttle out there and back. It was such a beautiful day out too so it really helped. We went through the house of horrors which was sets and stuff from horror movies. I HATED IT!!! Yes I know I am a horror movie buff and I always watch them, it doesn't mean I like to be in them. They had people jumping out at us and werewolves, frankenstein, crazy people with chainsaws, I screamed the whole way through and Pauly laughed histerically the whole way through. We enjoyed Krustyland from the Simpsons, the best ride in the whole park, we even got to me Bart and Lisa. We did the famous Tram Ride of the Studios which was super cool my favourite part, we got to go through WhoVille!!! I was so excited. I was like " Pauly I always wanted to go to WhoVille" It's really cool how all the buildings are totally fake and how in the movies they look so real. They have one area that looks European city and all they have to do is change the language of the signs. They show how they can flood a town and when they make it rain the put powdered milk in the water so it shows up better on camera.
We also did the Jurassic Park ride which was awesome, now I know where all the dinosaurs are living. We did the Mummy's Tomb. This awesome inside rollercoaster in the dark and then all of a sudden it goes backwards. I screamed the whole way and shut my eyes until I realized opened or closed it still looked the same lol. We got back that day totally bagged and tired from the past two days but thought lets party. I had moved into the hostel for the night because I had to be out of the apartment and we were leaving the next day.
I was so hurting the next day. We drank till all hours of the morning and had to be up by 7am to go to the Greyhound for 9am.
So we get on the Greyhound and head to Vegas! We had to transfer in Downtown LA. Worst Greyhound experience of my life. The bus was late meaning we boarded and left late. Once we got on the bus I asked the bus driver if we were still going to arrive on time "I don't know maam" "Well I am just wondering because we are running 20 minutes late" "SO WHAT I'M LATE. DO YOU WANT TO GET OFF THIS BUS RIGHT NOW AND WAIT FOR ANOTHER ONE! I HAVE NO PROBLEMS REMOVING YOU FROM THIS BUS. I CAN'T FLY THIS BUS" " I know that but your still late, what is your name?" "YOUR THIS CLOSE TO GETTING KICKED OFF SO EITHER BE QUIET OR YOU WILL BE REMOVED" Can you believe that we hadn't even left the station. The woman infront of me was just mortified she took down a bunch of info and was lodging a complaint. Thats not all. There were these two girls laughing on the bus and all of a sudden our Lionel Richie looking bus driver says "EXCUSE I LIKE THAT YOUR HAVING FUN BUT THAT IS TOO MUCH AND YOU ARE DISTRACTING PLEASE STOP LAUGHING" oh it gets better. We had a half hour stop and he starts talking about at 3hundred hours this and that, like we were in the army. "If you are late and you knock on the door i will not open it for you" Well lucky for everyone we all made it back early and on time. As we get back out on the road again he comes on the speaker and says "PLEASE REMEMBER WHEN SPEAKING IT'S TO THE PERSON BESIDE, IF I CAN HEAR YOU, YOU ARE TALKING TOO LOUD" I had enough at this point. I was shaking I was so mad. We finally arrive in Vegas and 10 minutes early for that matter. As I am getting off the bus he wanted to just move something so I wouldnt scratch my leg and as he is moving it he saids "I am going to move this so you don't hurt your knee I don't want you talking bad about a brother" I started laughing " Oh, don't you worry I am lodging a complaint about you!" He didn't like this too much he started yelling at me across and cussing at me across the parking lot and then had the odasity and unprofessionalism to stand there and talk about me with employees of Greyhound. I was so mortified, I couldn't stop shaking and I was so embarrassed. ONe of the girls on the bus said she couldn't believe the treatment he gave to everyone on the bus and was going to lodge a complaint. I haven't yet but I am hoping for a refund and some sort of credit as I am planning and traveling with them very soon and am second guessing their company.
Anyways!!! We finally get to our resort an hour after we got dropped off at the station. THE FLAMINGO. Our room was awesome, on the 25th floor with floor to ceiling windows that looked out over the resort. The location of the resort was awesome too right in the center of the strip. Ryan and his mom were meeting us out in Vegas. They were staying at Circus Circus. Ryan said they wanted to do dinner with us and then we could go out.
It was so good to see him. I really missed him. You don't really realize how close you are with someone and how much time you spend with them until you spend a few days apart. Well his mom and him wanted to go to The Steakhouse for dinner for my Birthday! My most favourite restaurant. Mmmmmm it was so good. The best prime rib in the world, I can still taste it. I was sucking on the fat just to get every last bit of meat off haha. After dinner we walked back to our resort. His mom taps me on the shoulder and said "it's midnight" and gave me the biggest mom hug in the world. It was so awesome!!!
We got back to the resort and his mom said goodbye and we began to enjoy the bottles of rum and vodka we had in our room. Our buddy Ben - that we had met in Vegas in March (check out Our Arrival - Vegas) - came by and had a few drinks and left around 3 am. Pauly passed out so Ryan and I decided to go next door to O'sheas - my favourite bar. I left my ID in my room so the guy wouldnt serve me so we ended up just going back up to the room and calling it a night.
The next day we decided to spend the day at the pool and just chill. There was the huge lagoon pool with a water slide which is beautiful but infested with under agers and kids and then there is the 21 and over pool which was $15 to get into (for the guys). It was worth every penny. A DJ all day, a party in the pool, big huge flamingo's surround the pool on pillars that shoot little waterfalls into the pool, free drinks, a couch area with a hookah, a bar, hot weather and all the palm trees had misters on them that sprayed out mist all day long to keep you cool. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my birthday. My best buddy and the most important person in my life right now and thats all i needed and to top it off Paul and Ryan are like peas and carrots. They got along so well it was disgusting, it almost scared me lol but it was great. I called my mom, it was my first birthday without her so I got a little teary eyed when I got off the phone but the party and the drinks helped. We danced, we did the crab, the lobster and the dolphin, we drank, sang and just had an all around good time.
Ryan had to leave around 2 to go meet up with his mom. He was so wasted he could barley walk straight LOL plus his shoes were up in the room and he refused to get them and wouldn't take my flip flops. "Babe I will walk in barefeet I will be fine. I will see you tonight" kissed me and stubbled out of the pool area. Well turns out the pavement was so hot his feet blistered and he had to buy some flip flops lol, what a dork. HIs mom didn't even know he was drunk, I have no idea how he pulled that off.
Paul and I ended up passing out in the room till about 11 that night, we were so bagged from the sun and drinking all day. We were barley up to going out but we got ready and started having a few drinks. Ryan got back to our resort at about 230am and we headed out to the bar we always end up at the Piano Bar at New York New York. So much fun. We all dressed up and just sat and drank Red Bull Vodka all night. It helped me as I wasn't feeling well, I had a bit of sun stroke so I was a little nauceous but the drinks helped.
Around 5am this girl comes strolling in and Paul said "watch this, she is working, watch what she does" well he was right she was working "hooked a guy and they left walked into the casino but didnt get passed there because he walked away. So she comes back and she starts chatting up Paul. Oh god I'm thinking how are we going to get her to leave. She was so trying to hustle him and get him to leave and then asks him if I was working Ryan!!! She thought I was a hooker!!! She honestly thought I was trying to work Ryan!!! I may have been dressed sexy but I was definatly dressed nice and did not look like a hooker. How rude LOL!
We got up and left and when we got outside the sun was up and we realized it was like 7am and I am starting to feel better and ready to party. As we are walking out a limo pulls up and I said "awww you showed up. It's my bday did you forget to pick me up" Well apparantly all the hustling I have learned on my adventure paid off because next thing you know we have a free limo ride back to our resort. FUCKING AWESOME! Perfect end to a perfect day.
Ryan left the next day and Paul and I went down to the pool. We didnt stay too long as it was hot and I still wasn't feeling well. We really just slept and hung out all day and I had to leave the next day.
I said goodbye to Paul and Ben drove me to the Greyhound station again. Thank god my ride back was awesome I had no one beside me so I could stretch out and the driver was an angel compared to the last guy.
We still hadn't found an apartment so Ryan booked us back into the Bungalow in a 16 bed dorm LOL a lot of people but way cheaper then the other rooms.
Well Vegas made me broke. Flat broke. I could afford one night at the hostel and nothing more. Not a meal not even a ride back home. Ryan and I talked the next day and decided that I needed to call home and ask my parents if they could buy me a ticket so I could come home. We laid on the bed for awhile. I was bawling my eyes out. We said our goodbyes to each other. It was so sad. I didnt wan't to let go of him. He dragged me off the bed and said I'm taking you for dinner for our last meal. "Okay, lets go to Mr. Pizza. If the owner is in I can talk to him about work I dropped my info off yesterday maybe there is hope"
We get there and the owner wasn't in. So we sat down at the table completely sad and depressed and talked about everything from the when we met up until now. "Remember when I almost had to go home, it was after the rave and I was broke and I almost had to leave?" "Ya" I said "but then your phone rang and the smoke shop was calling you to tell you you got the job and you started the next day! It was your miracle and you got to stay" "Ya it was pretty cool" " I'm still waiting for my miracle, I'm not ready yet to leave" I said. Just then at that exact moment my phone rang. It was the owner of Mr Pizza telling me I got the job and I start that night!! MY MIRACLE!!! Can you believe that.
So I am still here. I am still at the hostel though unfortunatly not with Ryan. He had to get an apartment. Because I don't have much more time in America and I plan on continuing on in a month he really needed to find a place for himself because he is out here till January. His place is awesome, right across the street from his work and it has a pool! So we are planning a pool day this Saturday. I'm not gonna lie, it's really weird not living with him. It sucks coming home to an empty bed or not having someone to talk to about my day or their day :( But I really do believe we need this separation. It's gonna be easier when I leave. So for now here I am in the smallest little room with 5 guys that are a hoot, though I am being moved to the other hostel tomorrow because I am a long termer.
Last but not least the other night an actor came into my work. It's my 10th sighting. He sat down at one of my tables and had dinner. Now here is the thing he is one of those actors that you don't know his name or know off the top of your head what he has been in but when you see him your like "oh that guy" so ya. I can't even tell you his name which sucks but my dad really likes him haha. I will find out one of these days and I will fill in the blanks lol.
Well I hope you enjoyed my update. Please check out my two new photo albums on facebook - Paulywood and Dirty Vegas!!! All the pictures are there.
Take care
