Diary of an Australian jaunt 10-11-10

Tasman Sea

Yawn. Yawn. It is only 5pm local time, but my brain thinks its 12 am yesterday. How did today go? So far, so good. Got off the plane into a sea of people. Who knew Sydney on a Monday would be SOOO busy... And so many different steps to get into the friggen country. First immigration.. "what is the purpose of your visit?" Then I had to wait for what seemed like an eternity for my bags.. Then the real test,they scan your bags. I had almonds in my bag and fearing that I would be on the next "Locked up Abroad", I mentioned them to the officer.. I had to give them up.. Oh well.. God forbid I have a snack! Did I mention I was sweating up a storm? I only had the same 3 layers as before on.. (sigh) On to the car rental place.... Of course it was on the opposite side of the airport and it was the only place with a huge line.. Did I mention the man in front of me in line was ESL and he had to question everything..?? ugh. The chick behind the counter became my bestey when I told her the purpose of my trip. "REALLY?" the word dedication keeps coming up. ... Finally got to my wee car --- through the pouring rain :( VERY nervous about the driving .. GULP> Ironically found a McDonalds straight away. Confused the crap out of the dude in the drive through. They apparently dont have a sugar free ice coffee down under.. BOO.. Thankfully, I paid extra for the GPS .. So, I could kinda explore. Found Bondhi Beach which looks over Sydney harbour. very very very windy. Finally got on to the M5 (freeway) to Canberra. Quite a drive. Lots of Kangaroo crossings and sheep.. (Sigh.. Meggie and the Thorn Birds) Drove 110 kph.. very weird.. Drove into Canberra .. wonderful hotel.. Damn bed is a bean bag and the toilet has a #1 button and a #2 button. hahahahah Didn't wake from my 6pm nap until morning.. :)

From plane

I am Fabulous. On plane. OK yes, I am literally the last row on the plane, but no one is sitting next to me.. JOY!!! The stewardess made me comfy .. I am right by the lavatory. Life is GOOD. Must be a good sign, (sigh) its 11pm and in an hour or so we are going to have dinner.. WTF? Oh well, I will be enjoying the salmon with mashed potatos and I believe tiramisu for desert. Mental note, thank god for close proximity to crapper. HERE WE GO! plane is moving. Loving Quantus. But have no idea what these people are saying over the intercom. Something about escape routes.. Oh my goodness, I am right by the slide.. yippee.. BTW thank goodness I submitted my marketing paper due on Sunday early. There is NO room for my huge laptop. Eventhough there is no one next to me, the seat in front of me is ridiculously close. I had a wild idea that international flights would come with a wee bit more room. I believe Southwest has more friggen room. I guess taking this big ass bus to Australia costs a few sheckles.. Gotta cram the thing with people. I walked past the first class, the business class, the elite economy (sigh) Oh well,, whatever. ... .. ... .. (elapsed time) .. ... ... 3 hours outside of Sydney. dinner was delish. Yummy.. watched modern family and fell asleep. bad night. bumpy over the date line. hahahahah Cannot handle all these freaks exercising by my exit door. This one dude is doing a full radu workout. Fine.. I get it.... Sitting 14 hours is a bit tough .. but move on. JEESH. I went in t o the potty with 3 hours left on the flight to put my contcts in and apply some eyeliner.. no more then 8 minutes later, there was a friggen line..BOO.. and people were glaring.. 1 time to the damn toilet.. elapsed time...2 hrs from Sydney (Sigh) you would think we went east..this flight is taking so damn long... but in actuality we went pretty direct over Hawaii .. I guess the world is pretty big, eh? the coolest thing on theplane is the flight tracker.. you can see where you are and how much longer to get to where you are going.... (see photo)

Diary of an Australian jaunt 10-09-10

At the airport.. about 9pm.. SHEW .. what an interesting trip so far. I went through the metal detectors that see you naked. It was weird. I felt strangely violated, but in a fun way. I am here (wait for it) 2 hours before the boarding time.. SURPRISE!! Can you imagine I would be early? Oh well.. I was able to switch to an aisle seat -- but I am in the back of the plane.. OH NO! Does that mean something signifigant?!?!? If we explode, am I going to be any less on fire? Whatever?!?!? Trying to take every minute... breathe and enjoy... NO RUSHING!!! I am finally cooling down, I only wore 3 layers... No, Not the trench or the contraption.. just toasty..want to be prepared for everything... on my tombstone it shall say she was ready for everything!

Blame New Jersey Shore, bitches!

A few things have kept us apart, dear reader. I am not trying to be lazy, but it is hard to stay in touch with you when Snookie is DTF, you know? I am beyond excited that in less than 2 weeks, I will be Australia bound. The lovely boys of JET refuse to come to Cali, so this bitch is gonna go to them. Stay tuned .. I will prolly have a few stories to share.. you know about the hot Aussie boys and the whole cheeky experience..

kicking my ass...

Three things

Nic's OLD digs

1. I thought Nic's Australian pad would have been WAY more swanky. As of MY BIRTHDAY (04-24) it will be sold to someone else and Nic will be purchasing a home in Italy.. which leads me to ....................
2. Can someone lend me $750,000? or whatever Australia uses for cash these days?
3. I promise to spill about the last trip.. I just have been up tp HERE with classes...

love you.

BEST....

trip EVER!
Hated the cities of Portland and Seattle ... but LOVED the shows..
Could take or leave Vegas... too many fake BOOOOOOs on skinny chicks..
I will share all the details soon lovers.. AND the pics.. THE PICS! and the SWAG!
did I mention the drumstick and the drum itself.... :)

I don't know anymore.. What I need and what for.. All I know is there must be something more...

New Seventeen Vid.. WOO HOO

My lil birdie came through ....

Leg 1

What is the deal? No California dates for Leg 1 of the 2010 world domination tour?
UGH. FINE.. do it your way....

Seattle , Portland, Vegas .... GET READY FOR MEGGIE!

(DO YOU THINK UTAH CAN HANDLE ME?)

NBC sucks, yet again.....

So, I was promised JET at the 12:05-130 AM Olympic coverage.. Hmm.. As a dedicated JET fan, I kept my ass up and watched these lame ass ice skaters go in circles ..over and over.. and NO JET! BOOOOOOOOO NBC.. Thankfully, a sweet girl in Canada took a wee vid of the opening song.. and I would like to share with you now... Sounds a little muffled, but... its snowing.. and you can see Nic's breath in the air.. brrrrr.. (I can keep you warm, lovey) :)

I heart Jet, STILL!

Yipee!

I AM a Grown Ass Woman. Really!

sweaty girl

I feel the need to revisit an old topic.. I am a grown ass woman who literally falls apart in the presence of one specific MAN. That man is Mr Nic Cester. I tell you this, dear reader, because a week ago I had the pleasure of not only attending a ROCKING JET show in LA, but I had the thrill of meeting the entire band.
I wish that I had taped the encounter, because in all honesty, it is a euphoric blur. I stood before the band with 5 other fans while they did sound check. They were funny and engaging...Because the other band (BOO PAPA ROACH) ran late with their sound check, we were only able to hear a few songs. As soon as they completed the SC, we were ushered upstairs to the VIP area. The band came out .. and this is where things get fuzzy. I do remember asking Nic to sign my boob, which he did.. wink wink.. and I remember sitting next to him and professing my love while I rubbed his leg.... but other then that..I couldn't really be sure.. I do know it was fun.. and a night to remember. (hahahaha)

The good news, is that Chris said they would be returning to Cali in March.... I am already planning my road trip.. and thinking of other things for Nic to sign.. ;)

P.S. The show was AMAZING. They did not disappoint.. I heart JET

Hi, remember me?

I went to a David Sedaris reading.. and before the show started he was signing his book in the lobby.. So, I got in line.. when it was my turn.. I said, David I adore you.. and he said.. "PLEASE .. you are going to give me a BIG head.. I wont be able to get on the plane tomorrow when I have to go first class to Hawaii .. my head simply wont fit in the plane..

I said, hmm.. Do you need a lady friend? and he said ARE YOU A HO? and i said pardon me? and he said ARE YOU A HO? and i said, well I can be what ever you want me to be.. chuckle chuckle.. and then i said, seriously.. I want to be YOU when I grow up.. and he looked at me square in the face .. and he said how OLD are you? and i said .. blah blah blah.. and he said, ah blah blah blah blah.. Nice to meet you NEXT!

I heart david.. tee hee

MY Issues

What are they you ask? Well.. Do you have a day or two?? HA HA .. I kid.. I kids.. The reason that I have not been blogging, dear reader, is that I am a tard.. I hooked up this lil journal type site.. with my ramblings, to the official Jet web site. Whenever I would post, it would be RSS'd to the Jet site. I felt so much pressure. Like I had to be profound or something. UGH. I can't be that like all the time.. So, I removed the feed and feel SOOO much more relaxed and at ease..

in CASE you missed it

(go to niccester.com for video limk)

ugh, 1am? Some of us fans have jobs and can't stay up past 10pm! Jeesh

Jet - MTV Shows

Feel better, my friend.

Aussie Rocker Nic Cester from JET collapsed tonight on stage at Q The Music Club Live At Hard Rock Café as part of the worldwide promotional tour for the band's upcoming CD, SHAKA ROCK. The singer had been unwell all day but insisted on coming to the gig and not letting fans down. JET took to the stage at 8pm GMT and performed "Rip It Up" and She's A Genius" before Nic
passed out. Nic got up on his feet and jokingly told the audience he had Swine Flu before collapsing for a second time. Nic was walked off stage by the band's tour management leaving Cam, Chris
And Mark to soldier on to perform 3 more songs - "Holiday," "Beat On Repeat"
And "Get What You Need."
Nic was rushed to University College Hospital in Euston, London, UK in an ambulance and is being treated for symptoms of gastroenteritis, acute vomiting and dehydration. The singer will be held overnight for monitoring.

Anaheim.. sweet Anaheim.

How could I forget the last show of my trip?
Because the last show was a mere 45 minutes away (LA to Anaheim) I was able to take my time getting there and had a easy Friday morning....
I happen to drive around the Hollywood "mounds" .. Not really the hills, but nice houses just the same. Spied a few celebrity houses right off Sunset.. (No worries, mate.. your secret is safe with me.. Although, may I suggest another color other then that burnt red? kinda harsh) Anywho, made it to Anaheim in time to do a little shopping for the kiddies (mad props to lil Bren and Jiji .. next trip your coming!!!) After that .. stopped for lunch.. I found my hotel .. I was pleasantly surprised. Pretty nice for a Motel6,eh?


Took a hot bath (DEJA VU!) and got ready.. Hot purple shirt and Jeans.. cute sandal heals that ended up doing a number on my poor feeties.. (grrr) I headed to down town Disney a lil early to meet Tania and Kaia for a pre-concert drink. Love my girls.. and loved the opportunity to chat ..

We hung out a bit and then they met up with Bob. Bob just won GOLD at a softball game at the Firefighter Olympics.. YEAH BOB! HAHAH. They left and I met my "friends" Alex and MeShell .. waited in line a bit.. and finally we were let in .. Yeah me.. FRONT OF THE STAGE, again.. we drank.. and danced ... and sang.. and jumped around.. and danced..and drank.. and I loved every second!!!!! Thankfully, I bonded with a HOB photographer and at the end of the show he came through.. ;) (Thanks camera man!!) YEAH SET LIST!

After the show, I waited a few.. but was sad to see that they were closing down the club. No meet and greet with the boys! :( my boob would go home naked?!?!?!? I was so sad. I am sad. I sadly dragged my ass back to the hotel.. and when I got to my room saw the door was open!! Not like open, open.. but not shut. OMG.. (See Tania, I am working it into my daily convo's) Apparently, because the air was left on, when I left, the door didn't close.. I carefully walked in all Magnum PI like, and thankfully nothing was disturbed and no one was in the room. I think because I left the TV on kinda loud, peeps thought someone was in there.. (SHEW) (Jet luck is on my side, babies!) ANyway.. Jet.. (heavy sigh) I LOVE their new stuff.. and want them to come back SO bad. I am already starting my Jet tour fund for the next CALI leg. Let me know if you want my paypal account so you can donate.. Touring AIN'T cheap!!! xoxoxoxoxoxxo

P.S. Mr Nic Cester, you will sign my damn boob... I am determined to make my dream come true.. :)

P.P.S. Sorry about no pics from Anaheim show.. They frisk you outside with metal detectors.. NO CAMERA's. ugh.. whatever

I blinked......

and my Jet excursion is over. I sit here and think where I was a week ago today... A week ago today, I was in LA. The city of angels. (sigh)

The night before I got to LA, I was up LATE at the Vegas show.. but I woke super early (7am wake up call) to get on the road. I was genuinely excited to see Jet again. The new songs were better then I imagined and I wanted MORE.. MORE.. MORE.. When I checked out, I could of sworn the dude next to me was settling up the band's bill. He just seemed to be a part of the whole entourage. (leather jacket.. flip flops.. dirty rock star look) As I was walking away, they were talking about the charges at the "pool".. (Silly Cam was spying on the pretty girls I bet) So, I hit the road... And I was making GOOD time. I was secretly hoping to drive along side the Jet tour bus.. but wasn't so lucky. :( I got to LA at about 2.. checked in to my AWESOME room. (So much better then the LAST Jet trip...I discovered that the star rating IS something to pay attention to.. HAHAHA)
I got all comfy in my room.. and was a lil freaked out about all the mirrors.. (hello, Garden state? I was sure that the bell boys were spying on me and I was scared to get nake') I finally did.. get NAKE' and got in to the tub.. took a nice HOT bath and commenced the gettin' ready routine. I got all rock star'd out.. I wore a white shirt... Jeans and black wedges. I thought I looked super cute. I was hot as all get out because the city was also going through a damn heat wave.. ugh..
I got to the club .. and parked across the street.. (DAMN. this would mean I would have to cross Sunset.. SCARY!)I crossed.. and only once was nearly hit by a speeding car.. (shew) When I got to the line, My OLD friends (wink wink) Meshell and Alex were there.. YEAH .. JET FREAKS.. Just like me! We made chit chat and settled into the line.. (sigh) There I was in line.. at the Key Club.. patiently waiting for the doors to open.. I was so excited when they finally did.. I got my standard Corona.. and made a bee line for the stage. I am so retarded, the club was REALLY dark and I was so determined to get in the front.. I missed two large steps and nearly came crashing on to my face. (I am such an idiot)I did this really goofy running man impression.. hahaha... made it look planned and not happy school bus.. boy she needs a helmet type deal...I did manager to score "MY" spot.. and MiShell and Alex were right next to me.. I was very happy (buzzed)

Loved the opening band, the paper tongues.. (I have their song in my head this second.. and I am starting to go crazy!!UGH) But they were good and I think I might actually get their album, too.. BUT .. Jet came on.. and my friend Christine (AKA Christmas) came up behind me.. ANOTHER Jet freak.. YEAH! We rocked out.. and she snagged me Nic's guitar pic..

After the show, I hung out for a bit wanting to (yet again) have Nic sign my nummy boob.. But my feeties were hurting and I figured I had another night.So, me and my boob went home.. (hahaha back to the hotel) and ZONKED OUT.

P.S. Did you see the "No Stage Diving" sign? DAMN.. I was SO ready for it,too!

P.P.S. Cam and the boys did an interview with SPIN last Saturday .. and they said the LA show was by far one of the best shows they have done. :) Did I mention I was there.. front row center.. ahem.. But it can't be ALL me.. I mean Jet did pretty good, too. ;)

I was LITERALLY...

right next to this chick.. I was RIGHT in front of Nic.. I betcha if you watch real close you can see my crazy BIG ass head bopping up and down....
I shall share the story of my LA trip (hopefully tomorrow..) xoxox

seventeen

Vegas BABY..

Funny how everything works out for the best.. I was originally a little annoyed that the 1st show was at 11pm... Why would a show start so late? What was I going to do with so much free time? Turns out it worked out perfectly. It took for EVER to get Vegas... miles and miles of desert... and the weather was UNBELIEVABLY hot (107!!!) ...

I got to Vegas at 6pm and with the roads all being worked on and with the millions of people aimlessly walking about...It took me an hour to get to my hotel.... grrrrr. (the hotel is literally a mile from the exit)

As I pulled into the HR driveway, I quickly decided that the valet was the way to go... I dragged my wheel-less suitcase, that must have weighed a million pounds, to the registration desk. My irritated attitude quickly changed when the chick behind the counter gave me a free $400 suite upgrade.. YEAH ME! (After seeing Cam's video blog, I think I might have scored a sweeter suite then him!!!)

The bar

The view

The bedroom

The living room



(cam's room)

When I finally got into my room, I crashed into the most amazing bubble bath.. (I am such a loser because I turned on the jets without the tub being completely full and I shot water ALL OVER the place.. you can take the girl out of the trailer, but.. )
HAHAHA.. SO, I was able to relax......... I had a cocktail and got all gussied up ... At about 10pm, I finally headed to the show. Luckily it was at WASTED SPACE which is located INSIDE the Hard Rock. I didn't have to face the 95 degree weather..... (at 11pm!!! UGH)
I went to the club and the bouncer was total flirts ville with me.. I MUST be looking cute.. He even asked to see my ID.. to make sure I was legal.. hahahahaha.. I went in.. got me a Corona and settled in right under Nic's mic stand.. (a favorite place of mine).. Thankfully, there was no opening band and Jet just came out .. They ROCKED the house...




Right before they played their encore, I grabbed Nic's sweat towel right from his hands.. (YES I DID SLEEP WITH IT...and, yes.. I AM 14 YEARS OLD ) I also was able to get Cam's guitar pick to add to the collection. (yeah me)

After the show, the band was in a stairwell .. and I snuck over and got my pic with Chris. He was a little annoyed with me because I couldn't' offer him a cig.. Sorry Mate.. hahaha..

(My head looks gynormous.. and I look crazy.. Just for the record, I don't NORMALLY look like that..
It was late.. I was drunk.. Chris was mad at me)

Nic was way way way way up the stairwell and I would have had to jump over a few roadies.. I figured I had plenty of time to have Nic sign my boob.. so. I decided to wait..

On to LA..

(to be continued)

WOW.

AMAZING 3 shows! SO many stories to tell.. But alas, I slept most of the day away as the 1200+ mile road trip took more out of me then I was prepared for. I shall share a few fav pics .. and will share my novella with you shortly.. xo

I am really trying to be patient...

BUT!
Chris is twittering...
Cam is Video blogging...
Mark is voice mailing..
Where is Nic?
:(

More Cam? LOVING IT!

My baby is 30! Happy Birthday my sweet!

I'll show ya my knickers..

What next?

This lil GEM!



(How come I never realized what a sexy lil bitch Cam is)

First, My Space. Then Facebook.. and Now Chris is twittering?? What Next!?!?!

BUT SERIOUSLY... the chewbakka chick scares the crap out of me.. :(
(lukas Haas is super cute.. wink wink)

Trend setter alert!!

As you know, dear reader, I was lucky enough to be taken to the most amazing eye brow place ever (Mad props to Trecia.) It is, in fact, very exclusive and difficult to even find.. ($20 and the address is yours) The resident Brow Master, Connie, can whip any brow disaster into a work of art. Yesterday, after being taunted by my work mates.. Yet again.. about my UNI-brow, I went to see Connie. I had been there before, so I was well aware of what to expect.
I walked in and was met with a delightful welcome and offers of manicures, pedicures and I believe I heard something about a happy ending.. But before I could get the details .. Connie quickly scooped me up and led me to her table.

Ahhhh her table.
The Master's table.
A place of pure decadence.
A place where I could finally achieve brow nirvana yet again.

I laid down and Connie gave me the once over.. She then quickly leaned in and whispered in my ear..
"This time I do lip for you.. "
WHAT? Was my stash so overgrown that she felt the need to offer the service? UGH!!?!?!
I was mortified. (I agreed sensing that I was truly in need, but I was still mortified.)
Before I could even really digest my manly growth... She placed the hot wax on my "lip"..
I must tell you dear reader, I saw stars. I have yet to actually squeeze a youngin from my coot, but I imagine that the stash removal pain certainly rivals the birth thing.. When she ripped the wax away, I almost fainted!!
OMG.. The Horror.. I was in tears, dear reader.. I have yet to regain complete use of my upper lip.. My Iced coffee ended all over the front of my track jacket this morning.. Woe is me.
Please remind me dear reader,next time.. that I only need nice BROWS.. and that my stash is charming and provides a wee bit of character to my face..

You are Loved and will ALWAYS be missed.

Happy Anniversary my friends.

Happy Birthday Granny.. I <3 and miss u.

The proof is here, dear reader.
You thought I was hearing voices when I told you that Adam was whispering in my ear that he didn't know me-- but he wanted me SO bad.
Then, when I mentioned that he follwed me to the Jiffy Lube and was Serenading me while my engine was being flushed, you questioned my sanity.
How can you possibly explain that on this very night.. I watched ONLY 30 minutes of TV (30 Rock, 9:30 NBC) and Adam made a random..unexpected ..completely out of the blue cameo.. He just happened to sing with his sweet... intoxicating.. inviting voice.. (gulp) I AM BEING STALKED PEOPLE! SEND HELP!

R&R

Khris and Shannon

The first time my brother was deployed to Iraq, he left from his base in Alaska.. so, it wasn't REALLY real. For all intensive purposes, he was still in Alaska. The letters and cards I sent went to the same address as before-- In Meggie-world, everything was the same. He was in a state Governed By Sarah Palin, but what harm could she REALLY do? (As long as you weren't a turkey .. hahaha)

Fast forward to Saturday, May 9th.. Khristopher's 2 weeks of R&R were over .. and he was on his way back to Iraq to rendezvous with his platoon. The problem? It is real now. All too real.
Khris has a different Mama then me, but he is ALL brother (none of this 1/2 shit) I didn't really get to know him until a few years ago.. I finally grew up and realized what a great guy he was -- and how lucky I was to have HIM as a brother...
That is why it is beyond weird.. MY bro, someone I love and admire, is a million miles away fighting a lame ass war which should never have been started... But they ARE there now.. HE is there now.. So, the "what if's" are pointless. We are at war.. and the news of it has been pushed to the back page.. My brother deserves the front page!!

Mr Bush, if one hair on my brother's head is injured, I will hold you personally responsible.

ARMY OF ONE.
MY BROTHER.
KHRISTOPHER DOE
HOLLA!

The darkness is over

Happy Birthday to ma.

Replay on May 7th.. GO!

Hmmm. Not sure if I am feeling it. ..

.........There are those who believe that the rock was actually used by Shaka to test the mettle of his men, by encouraging them to jump to their deaths, but the surfing fraternity definitely don’t believe that Shaka’s Rock measures up to its majestic or noble name, referring to the few reefs and beach breaks as fun, nothing more. The beach is a preferred ski-boat launch site, so come prepared to watch some impressive launchings and beaching as some of the bigger boats set out on deep sea fishing trips.
