Taylor Swift

The song is all I can relate with lately.


"
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

[Chorus:]

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

[Repeat Chorus]

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see."

So, we are leaving in about an hour from Vegas, and it was a fucking AWESOME trip. I took some pictures, but I'll upload them later (probably when we all get back to California tonight.) This is pretty much what happened this weekend (I will update this post with pictures later, when I have them!):

Friday, Dec28th 2007 (PATS BIRTHDAY):
I was supposed to fly out at 1215pm from Madison, but we got delayed until 115. It wasn't really that bad. I flew into Minneapolis and found out Ian (pronounced Yan) was taking the same plane as me to Vegas. I'd never met him before, but I knew him from World of Warcraft (he is Ragtimer), and he was going to the same place as me. It was pretty funny that we happened to have the same flight.
We got into Vegas at about 6 and then we went out to eat at Firefly, but we ate at their "sister" restaurant called Dragonfly since Firefly was full of people already and we were going to be bringing in about 50+. They still let us order the Firefly food though, and thats a good thing because it was fucking awesome food. They would bring out a lot of little plates of food. The plates would just have a couple bites of food on them, but we got a lot. Pat ordered rounds for everyone and he even got a small cake at the end of the night for his birthday.

Saturday, Dec 29th 2007:
We went out to Mizuno's at night on this day. Mizuno's is a Japanese hibachi restaruant and was really fucking awesome. Our chef was kind of dull and didn't do many tricks, so I was halfway disappointed. Lots of pictures to come.
After Mizuno's we went to "O," which is a Cirque Du Soliel (Sp?) show. Pat gave up his ticket so one of his other friends could go see the show, since Pat had already seen the show. Everyone was pretty bummed he didn't go, but he was just being the nice guy he is. "O" is a water show where the actors would do amazing stunts in the water, like: jumping into the water from really high places, appear from under the water even though you didn't see them go in, etc.

Sunday, Dec 30th 2007:
In the morning on this day we went to the mall, Spice Market at Planet Hollywood, and the Fashion Show Mall.
Spice Market is a buffet in Planet Hollywood hotel and casino, with really kickass food. They have different sections you can go to like American, Mid-Eastern, Mexican, Dessert, Asian and Seafood. Pictures of food to come.
I needed a pair of heels to wear with my dress for the next day, and some of the other people just wanted to shop for clothes, so we went to the Fashion Show Mall. On the way to the Fashion Show Mall we picked up Joe's (Tzingtao) winnings from the night before ($169) Picture to come! Once we got to the mall, Tim (Garrot), helped me pick out some really cute heels from Macy's. We even got a good deal on them, they were only 29 dollars. :P
At night on that day, everyone else went to the club (Tao) and I stayed back with Nooner and Jack. We went to eat at a buffet in Caeser's Palace at 9pm and then we got back to the hotel and I passed out on my bed. :P

Monday, Dec 31st 2007:
In the morning at 9am I went to the spa in our hotel. Going to the spa was my Christmas present from Patrick and it was really fun. I got a hot stone full body massage first (they take hot stones and massage your body with them, then they take their hands and go back over the spot they just used hot stones on). After that I got a hydrating facial, a manicure, and a pedicure. I got back to the hotel room at 1pm.
At 2pm we were supposed to start "Around the World" (drinking all the different drinks each room was supposed to make), but since so many people still felt like shit from drinking at the club the night before, we waited until 4pm to start. I fell asleep for a while after that and at 1015 I woke up and changed into my dress and heels. We took group pictures (soon to come).
After that some of us went down the street to eat at a Cafe and we got back in time for the New Year. We all went out on my room's balcony and counted down until the New Year, we went watched the hotels light fireworks off their roofs. The fireworks went on for quite a long time and the air was full of smoke and color. I stayed up and talked to Ian while everyone else went out gambling or back to their rooms. We both finally passed out on separate sides of the couch.

Tuesday, January 1st 2008:
We woke up, packed, and are now waiting for our bus to get here. It was supposed to be here at 10am, but because of some miscommunication the driver didn't think he had to be here until 2pm. It's time to leave the room, and get onto the bus.
Slide show of the trip (sorry there are 3, I can't seem to get rid of the others...)
