Incase You Didn’t Know May 6th Is My Birthday!!!!!!

Last week, I went on a thrift store hunt with my co-worker which was a lot of fun. I love The Garment District in Cambridge because they always have a pretty great choice of gently or even brand new things at great prices(If you know what you are looking for). After thrifting we decided to go to Border Cafe in Harvard Sq for Margaritas(4 each actually). The night didn’t stop there because soon after we were at Club Cafe in the South End of Boston. What a fun night!

Thursday, I met up with friends for Carolyn & Georgina. We kept it simple and fun by going to Cheesecake Factory. I love it when you can sit with people and just chit-chat about absolutely nothing or something really intelligent for hours without realizing it. That’s important I think. A lot of people don’t have those types of relationships in their lives but it keeps you sane. You realize what’s important.

Sunday night, I reunited with an old friend of mine. Vanessa and I hadn’t seen each other in about 3 years maybe but we clicked right away like the last time we saw each other was the day before. That’s also important to me in friendships, sometimes things drift you apart but then you melt back together again. It’s wonderful being able to have that type of relationship in life. We went to Providence, to this really unique venue Lupos Heartbreak Hotel to see Bassnectar. What an amazing show!!! I’ll be honest, I really hadn’t heard his music until that night, I tried to listen online but ya know how that goes. It was great. We were over dressed but that’s ok. He’s on tour now with Thriftworks and Griz. Griz is awesome, he “plays” the saxophone during certain numbers. I highly recommend seeing this show if you can.

My poor friend Danielle misses me immensely. I feel bad, one of the longest friendships that I’ve had. We’ve really have never fought except twice. Once we didn’t talk for 2 weeks and the other time was like 3 days. It’s the one of the few friendships that we’ve seen each other grow and change almost at the same time, like we are the same age and grew up next door to each other. It’s crazy. Love you and don’t worry, when my damn schedule stays the same for longer than 2 hours we will definitely hangout!

That brings me to Wednesday night. Georgina, invited me to StyleFixx Boston, which is a premier shopping event that is held in Boston, New York, Miami, etc. The focus from what I could tell was to giving notice to local brands  that are trying to showcase their items to you in a one stop kind of arena.I made Tyler come with me cause any opportunity to get your name out there is a good opportunity. I met Elissa, a fashion blogger from Boston, absolutely adorable.

Some of the booths that we checked out was Rodan and Fields(the Proactiv founders) skincare booth. I had a posture screening and found out that I will possibly develop a hunch!!! NOOOOO! While scoping out what exactly to do next, Tyler says “Hey, isn’t that your girl?” “Who?” I replied and then I realized he was pointing out Cambridge native former Baywatch Babe TRACI BINGHAM!!!! The first time I saw her was at Style Boston’s Party last year. Sometimes I run into her at 29 Newbury, whether she truly remembers me or not, she’s super sweet and always has a conversation. Her friend Devon is nice to, great sense of style the times that I’ve seen him.

Overall, things are good can’t complain. I wish I didn’t fail the Public Speaking class but then you realize it’s just a FIRST WORLD PROBLEM and you just move on. May 6th is my birthday……can’t wait for that!

I’m Not Mad

Through the many years of my life I’ve become friends with many people. I truly value all my friendships as I’ve stated before. Friendship means a lot to me because there aren’t many people in the world that you are able to feel a level of comfort. Whether you’ve become friends with people on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter, they are people who you share a common interest with. That being said, we’ll move on to the real topic at hand.

I will leave the person unmentioned…..we will call her Person X.

Person X and i have been friends for about 8 years. We met years ago on myspace.com in this group called “Spoiled Bitches”….thanks to another friend, who I’m actually still friends with. SC is awesome by the way. SC and Person X actually didn’t get along and that should have been a red flag to steer clears years ago but who would have thought. Person X and I remained friends talked almost daily, we used Skype, text,etc. We were friends.

When person X invited me to stay in their home multiple times, I never saw that as a problem. We knew each other. I knew about the guys she would sleep with that she met on YouTube, the relationships she had been in and whatever else in life was going on. So finally I decided, Why the fuck not!. I wanted to get away and go on vacation, so I figured why not check out the area she lived in. I bought my plane ticket and was ready to go.

“Will you do my hair? i want red ombre!” “i cant wait for you to come down.omgz! Lolz! We’re gonna get drunk everyday and go on the beach! I cant wait” These were the text that I was receiving from this person. 10:04pm, I received a text “Actually, I don’t know if you should come down. I don’t know you. I’m sorry it’s just not a good idea. Sorry” My heart kind of sank but more for the fact that like really if you felt this way now, you felt that way to begin with and why my taste time.

This Is My Advice To Person X
This Is My Advice To Person X

I tried to contact the Sour Apple Bitter Bitch the other day to see if maybe she wanted to talk and to my surprised she didn’t respond. That’s honestly okay because it shows me what kind of person she really is. To suddenly end even a friendship that is online for the most part and end it out of the blue, that’s alright.Thinking back on it if anyone were to pull a stunt like that it should have been me because she was downright crazy sometimes. No use to cry over spilled milk though unless you aren’t the one to clean it up.

So now my birthday vacation in May has turned into me desperately seeking a new destination which was found. A vacation buddy which, I am accepting applications for a vacation buddy. Just a short paragraph on “Why You Would Make The Best Vacation Buddy For Dre” Regardless it will be an adventure and without unexpected drama, it would not be “Just another day in the life of Dre”

Fashionhaus Hotel This is actually where I’m going to stay in Miami. Unless I find a really cute place on airbnb.com.

Lords This was actually the first choice. When traveling, especially alone I prefer the comforts of staying somewhere that is LGBT friendly. I
