Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where troubles melt lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me. )

I know there's no turning back. If we put too much light on this, we'll see through all the cracks. Let's stay in the dark one more night. Don't want to know, I'm okay with the silence. It's the truth I don't want to hear. )

I've been keeping to myself a lot lately and I think the reason for that is so that I don't accidentally kill someone out of pure frustration. I wish I was kidding. Even my poor little Tina has been getting manhandled and she doesn't appreciate it. Not one bit. For example, I was walking her yesterday and I passed by a couple who were arguing. It went something like this:

Girl: "You see your friends every night. Why can't you just come with me to my parents house for dinner? You never come."
Asshole: "Because, babe, tonight is poker night. You know I never miss poker night. I'll see your parents another time."

I may have yanked Tina's leash a bit too hard in order for me to walk away faster from them, and realized I might have yanked too hard when she yelped. I was half expecting the president of PETA to jump out of the bushes and murder me, but I guess it was my lucky day.

I think it's really pathetic that one person has the ability to take over your moods and turn you into a bitter, pessimistic version of yourself that was once bubbly and full of awesomeness. I also hate that it has happened to me and I've done nothing to stop it. Until now. Just the other day, I had some hamburgers on the grill for London and I. I was completely not paying attention to the hamburgers, ended up turning them into very hard hockey pucks and I got so pissed off, I chucked them off the balcony. I may have killed someone, I'm not exactly sure. Kinda hoping I didn't. Needless to say, she ordered us Chinese after that and made me swear to never grill again.

I think I need a vacation. Yup. That's exactly what I need. I'd love to go down to the Bahamas and do nothing but lay out on a beach, but it's really unfortunate that the islands are getting slammed with hurricanes this month and all of next month. Ireland is too far, though the idea of escaping to Ireland is enough to make me feel better. So ..I guess the only other option is New York to see the parentals and my brother. They yelled at me for not visiting them when I was in town for Jessica's wedding, but I really didn't have any time. So looks like I'm heading to New York to get away from the clusterfuck that is my life in Chicago. Yaaay. /sarcasm.

Carry me down, roll it in your arms 'cause I can't remember ever falling this hard. Tell me tonight all that we have been, was it nothin' more than a noise inside my head? Crashing down, crashing down in your avalanche. )

There really are no words to describe my best friend's wedding. They got married in St. Patrick's Cathedral and the groom was sagging his pants enough for the entire church to see what kind of disgusting, dirty boxers he was wearing. Really? My best friend married that? This is the same girl who attended the best private schools and was wearing couture clothes before she could walk. I don't get it. I would blame it on the fact that he treats her like the princess she is, blah blah blah, but I'd be a liar if I did. I caught the guy cheating on her, told her about it, and she ignored it. And let's not mention his questionable behavior with the stripper at his bachelor party, according to Jackson. I don't even want to know what went on there. But besides the fact that he's a total loser and almost ruined his own wedding, it wasn't really that bad. I got through it, even if Jessica threw the damn flowers straight at my head as if it was some kind of sick joke. I didn't enjoy that, not one bit. Okay, well ..maybe I did, since Jackson inevitably caught the garter. How cliche, right? Tell me about it. It was a little awkward knowing WT Bobby was standing there looking at my leg with the garter on it though. Ew, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

With that being said, I'm finally back in Chitown and it is so damn good to be back! From what I can tell, there's a lot of stuff going on but none of it has to do with me. Thank GOD. La Trattoria is still standing after me being gone for the entire weekend and that's a huge relief. Good to know the cooks actually like it enough to not burn it down.

On another note, I didn't know Jack had moved out to New York. He said it was for work or something, who knows, but a little bit of a notice would have been nice. We're exes and all but I'd like to think we're over the whole awkward phase and can be friends now, so I got a little pissed that I had to find out over an IM. I guess that's life though. Seany is out there with his girlfriend, which means London and I have the entire apartment to ourselves! This makes me really happy. I don't know what we're going to do with the spare room but we'll figure it out.

Private;
Spending the weekend with Jackson was ..pretty damn amazing. We didn't fight. Not even once, not even a little bit. There was no bickering, just us. Content. And every time he put his arm around me, I got goosebumps. Hi, my name is Emma McMannis and I may be making a huge mistake. Wonderful.
End Private;

Amanda & Billie -- I miss you hookers. We need to do something.
Rhiana & Nessa -- I HAVE PICTURES!
London -- Seriously need to talk to yooou.
Jackson -- Stop by La Trattoria sometime this week. I'm having one of my chef's make a vegan pizza. It'll probably be gross and taste like cardboard, but it's right up your alley.
Edit: Sadie -- HI BFF! I HAVE A FUNNY STORY ABOUT YOUR DAD AND I.

And on a final note, Kings of Leon have completely stolen my heart. ♥

I'm at the white trash wedding of the year in New York. FML x 100. When I get back to Chicago, I need some serious quality time with the ladies.

London -- Everything okay? I forgot to warm you about the creepy fat guy who lives next door who likes to walk around in his tight boxers. Sooorry.. :/
