BIRTHDAY MANIA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEE! (Yesterday)

Sorry guys, I really really REALLy wanted to post yesterday but I got sooooo busy. (Which is usually never a problem cause I generally don't have plans or a life of any kind)

But now I shall tell you all about it! So the night before, I had lacrosse until 9 o'clock, and then decided I HAD to make cupcakes to bring to school when I got home. Not only did I need to make cupcakes, I, for some reason, thought they needed to showcase my fine superior chef skills and so I decided I would make apple pie cupcakes from scratch. About 10 minutes in to this I think I realized that maybe the whole thing was a bad idea. When 11:07 finally rolled around I just gave up. So the next day I brought these "cupcakes" to school that were the most hideous things I've ever seen. They had like an apple mixture in the middle of them but it really looked more like stuff you would find on the ground in the woods after it rained. Plus I decided to just skip making the frosting all together. I was really embarrassed of them. 

ANYWAY, then I got up early on my birthday morning so I could straighten my hair, which worked out alright. Then I went and looked at the fantabulous Facebook birthday post Natalie wrote me and smiled a lot. I then proceeded to take a selfie and wish myself a happy birthday on Instagram. Don't judge. (It got 44 likes, just so you all know. I was pretty proud.)

And I was so popular at school. All these people were like, "Happy birthday Jackie!" and I was like, "THANKS!" 

Holy macaroni it's windy outside and I'm 99% sure a tree is about to fall on my house and kill me. 

After school Abigail and I decided we would go see that new movie "Mama". It was kinda weird seeing a movie at 5:00 on a Tuesday, cause there were only four people in the theatre, including us, but it was fun. Also, for any of you wondering about the movie, I didn't like it that much. It was just a bunch of things jumping out at you, and it had a terrible, terrible ending. I personally think that I should star in horor movies because I just feel like I would be supes good at that. 

While we waited for my parents to pick us up from the movie theatre I used my quarters to ride the Kermit car in the arcade. Money well spent, if I do say so myself. 

My parents didn't want to eat at the restaurant I chose for my birthday dinner, so they just dropped Abi and I off, and went somewhere else to eat. I don't really understand how anyone could pass up an opportunity to eat at Chuck-a-Rama. It's an ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET, what else do you want?

We ate about this  x9

And then I went home and read all your wonderful Facebook posts that made me feel all warm and sparkly.

NOW IM AN OLD LADY AND I'M PROBABLY GONNA DIE SOON.

Nahhh just kidding. But other people might, as soon as I get my permit. 

Bieber Fever

It's no real secret that I'm deeply in love with Justin Bieber. And really, I don't think people understand exactly how much I love him. They probably have an idea, but I like, LOVE him. A lot. Hardcore Belieber. 

Anyway,

On Saturday, January 5th, 2013, I saw him live in concert in Salt Lake City, Utah. 

Just take a minute to process that.

WE WERE IN THE SAME ROOM TOGETHER. 

It was the best day of my whole life. 

So during the day, I was with my BFF Natalie. Natalie used to live here and she moved away, but we have biannual visits. I don't know if biannual means two times a year, but I hope it does, cause that's what I meant. (I promised Natalie I would blog about her, but I won't go into much detail right now because she is getting her own separate post.) So anyway, we were at her hotel and she helped me get all ready. I had to look perf. We are getting married you know. So I bought my Wal-Mart acrylic nails, slapped those on. And then I attempted to put on fake eyelashes for the first time in my whole life. The first one turned out pretty good, but the second one was just a mess. I got lash glue all over the actual lashes an then they all clumped together and dried and I couldn't get them apart. Plus, I glued it to high up on my eye so one of my eyes had an eyelash with like 4 large lash clumps glued to the middle of the eyelid. Scrapped those and just went with my own real eyelashes.

And the shirt I had was just prime time. Natalie had given it to me for Christmas.

And it's so warm

Then I left to go meet Abi (you all know Abi from my Fatday Friday Post). Natalie didn't go because we didn't know she would be here when we got tickets. Plus she's not in love with him like Abi and I are. 

The concert was at Energy Solutions Arena, so we drove down the canyon having a pre concert jam sesh to JB. Well actually, we didn't drive, our moms drove, but same thing.

More pictures, 'cause we're cute

Anyway, when we got to the concert, we ran as fast as we could inside, cause we were already a few minutes late. But it was okay cause all we were missing was the opening act. (No offense to Carly Rae Jepsen. I enjoy a mean 'Call Me Maybe' as much as the next person).

But after she was done, we waited like 50 minutes before Justin came on. Later we found out that he was late because he had spent the day with a little girl with Leukemia at Primary Children's Hospital since she couldn't use her tickets because she got sick again.  He's such an angel.

Basically, then he came out, I cried, he sang, I cried, he spoke, I cried. I did a lot of crying. Happy crying though, don't you worry. I also did a lot of jumping and dancing and rocking out.
The show was so cool, they did a lot of really amazing stuff with videos and fireworks and all that jazz.

We had amazing seats thanks to my Aunt Linda! She's not actually my aunt, but she's a really close family friend so I just say she's my aunt. Anyway, she works for Larry H. Miller, which owns the Energy Solutions and the Jazz and stuff, so she always gets me tickets to things there. For my birthday she surprised me with the tickets. We were sitting on the left side in the lower bowl, 11 rows up from the floor.

And then they played One Less Lonely Girl. For those of you that aren't Beliebers or just don't know what goes on at a Justin concert, his crew goes out and picks one girl from the audience to go up on stage, get a crown of flowers put on her head and be serenaded by Justin. I tweeted him and his crew 42 times where I was sitting to be the OLLG, because Justin said in an interview that that was what we should do if we wanted to be the OLLG. Sadly, it wasn't me, but it was my old baby sitter and current lacrosse teammate Caitlin's best friend that she went with. Lucky Duck 

(So actually, I didn't really know her at all, but I knew someone who did know her, and through Jackie-rationalization, that means I knew her.)

ahhhhhhh



It was such an amazing night. I would give anything to relive it. But you can all mark my words, one day he will love me. That's a promise, and I never break my promises.
