Most Memorable Moments of 2007
January – First hugs of the year from some pretty cool people; Met Morgan, Brandi, and Ana on the 12th; 12th-14th = some of the best and worst few days of my life; Hanging out for at least 6 hours straight from the 13th-14th (till 4 a.m.) with Morgan, Brandi, Ana, Lisa, Chris, Larry, and the cool kid; Getting stared at by that kid; SO-M interview; "Mamamameagan!" with a hug from behind.
February – Jordan Pruitt CD Release Party with Chris K, Chris F, and Larry; Elk facts and the twilight zone in Kentucky with Chris; Virginia for Jonas with some of my favorite people; Getting stuck at the airport with Becky on the way home; Met Dana.
March – Compliments and funny moments with that kid; Lots of concerts; Good times and definitely some bad times.
April – Florida for Jonas; Not too much else.
May – Bamboozle; Not too much else.
June – Amazing Jonas shows; Texas for Jonas; Fun moments at the hotel in San Antonio; Silly string fights and evil stares; Started talking to Nicole; Made a decision.
July – Compliments from a different kid; Road trips; Press conference; Tons of Jonas concerts; Got to see Nicole for 2 seconds; The phone call.
August – CD release week with the best friends; Gramercy Park Hotel; Met Joey.
September – Nothing too memorable.
October – Again, nothing too memorable.
November – Birthday; North Carolina; Saw the boys in NC (it had been a while).
December – Spent an INCREDIBLE week with Nicole; More Hannah/Miley/Jonas shows; Saw the boys in Philly and Newark; Some memorable moments; Had some good times and bad; Met Perez Hilton; Jingle Ball; and more.
2007 was a rollercoaster year. I had my ups and my downs, but I learned who my true friends are, who I could trust, and who I should never talk to again. It was an amazing year with some bad moments, but overall, I wouldn't change a thing.
2008 will be the year that changes my life. I can feel it. Everything seems to be falling into place. I know I'm going to have some amazing times. Nothing can be much worse than the bad times I had in 2007.
Here's to the memories.
Here's to the good times and the bad.
Here's to you, 2007.
2008, HERE WE COME!
And congrats to Jonas going platinum! Such a change from one year ago!! From 'Mother May I?' in a hotel courtyard to 'Rockin New Year's Eve', they've come so far and I am so proud!
That's all for 2007.

Celery Salt
I wanted to write some sort of clever blog.
I'd be able to do that if I actually felt clever.
But I don't.
Tomorrow it's time for me to fly (no pun intended. Well, maybe it was) to Georgia! I'll be there till Wednesday to hang out with my best friends and see those famous kids. I think their name is los hermanos de Jonas? Something like that.
Of course, when Jose Pagina is going to be here along with Morgan, I'll be in Massachusetts. PLAN BETTER, PAGINA! I'm hoping I'll be able to see them at some point while they're here. I think them being up here and me not seeing them would just flat out suck.
I don't know what to say now.
So I'll leave you with some advice from someone's mother.
Life is full of uppies and downies. You might run into some spiders or maybe even some cockroaches, but at the end of the day, you're either going to reach the top of the tree or keep climbing.
I hope to keep climbing for a while. I hate those damn spiders. Haven't met any cockroaches yet.

Why Do I Feel This Way?
I haven't felt happy at all lately. If I do feel happy, it only lasts a few hours at most, then something happens to make me feel upset all over again.
I feel like my friends are changing way too much. I'm not saying they're changing as people (although some are), but I'm saying I'm losing some friends I never thought I'd lose, and getting some back I never thought I'd get back.
2007 was supposed to be a big year. It has been, I've met some awesome people and I'm having some amazing opportunities arise. But feeling like your only friends are your best friends is a sucky feeling. It makes even the happiest moments feel like nothing.
Lately I've been feeling extremely left out. Like I do so much for other people and get nothing in return, not even a thank you. People think the things they do for me is payment enough. I'm not a selfish person, but it'd be nice to have someone help me out sometimes. At least I know how to take care of myself. That's something a lot of people I know can't say.
I miss the way my friends used to act. I miss talking to my friends all the time. It's not like they're any busier than they have been in the past when we used to talk a lot.
I'm sick of people telling other people what I say and then twisting my words around and taking it out of context. I'm tired of not knowing who I can trust. I'm over people thinking they know everything. Reality check: YOU DON'T KNOW A THING!
Sometimes I feel like not going on the internet (including AIM) for a month. So much changes in the two days I sometimes go without it. Seeing it after a month would be pretty interesting. And then I'd know who my true friends were. Texting would still be there. So would phone calls. If they really wanted to talk to me, they could.
Some people think I've changed. Well, I have. As you grow up, you have to change. You can't sit around waiting for things to change for you. You have to change in order to get what you want sometimes. I'm not going to go around following a band for the rest of my life. It's not what I want to do with my life. And if I do anything requiring me to do that, it's going to be with a steady income that I can life on comfortably. I don't mean having enough money for food and some clothes. I mean being able to buy what I want, when I want.
Just because I stick up for myself and my friends when people say something and just because I know the truth, people think I'm a bitch. I can guarantee you something. If you are a bitch to me or treat me or my friends like crap, you get the same treatment. Remember in elementary school, teachers would say "treat others how you want to be treated"? Remember how none of us listened? Well, it's time to start listening, because it's true. If you want people to treat you well, treat them well.
I've lost respect for so many people. Those people who say "I hate when people talk behind other people's backs" but they do that themselves. Those people who think they own the world and can pick their favorites. You can't get through life by doing that. The day is going to come when someone needs something. Someone's life could be on the line. Just because they're not one of your favorites, does that mean you won't save them?
Things have changed. About two weeks ago, I heard from someone I hadn't really spoken to since March. We still don't talk much, but I still talk to that person more than I talk to some of my friends I've been talking to this entire time.
I like where my life is heading. I have a future. I can't say that for others.
I can't really trust anyone anymore. Even the people who think I can trust them, I can't trust. The only people who I can trust with anything, and I mean ANYTHING, are Morgan, Nicole, and Joey. If they told anyone anything I said, they'd tell each other. They wouldn't go around telling people. I could share with them my deepest secrets, but I know they wouldn't go around blabbing. Even if we suddenly stopped being friends, I know they'd still keep things to themselves. I know for a fact some of my old friends aren't like that.
Does it suck knowing I won't see some people ever again? Of course. People take that the wrong way though and think I'm being selfish. For example, the Jonas Brothers. They've changed my life and the lives of others. But there are those people who understand what I mean. Like Nicole, for example. Here's some stuff she said on AIM.
Nicole: the fact is they're a band.
Nicole: but they're people who came into our lives
Nicole: and formed a personal relationship with each of us
Nicole: and because of that we cant let go
Nicole: and that was their first mistake
Nicole: we were spoiled from the start
Nicole: they wanted to present themselves as friends, people just like us, in the beginning
Nicole: you can't just rip that away
Nicole: and suddenly say "well you had your chance you can never see them again"
Nicole: it's like any other.
Nicole: its like if you and i were friends for a really long time
Nicole: and then one day
Nicole: randomly
Nicole: someone said
Nicole: "nicole and meagan you can never talk to each other again. you had your chance to be friends. you can stand in the same room but you're not allowed to speak."
Nicole: its not very fair and its pretty much emotional abuse
We have come to terms with the fact that it's over and done, but to see them one last time and tell them how proud we are would be amazing. We don't ask for much and we don't use people. We just want them to know we're proud and we still love them.
There is so much more I could say, but I can't comprehend everything that is running through my head. But that stuff I've said has been with me for a while and I needed to get it off my chest.
Hate me for it if you want, but it's how I feel.
Lately I've been feeling depressed, annoyed, angry, stressed, and now to top it all off, I'm catching a cold.
Don't get me wrong, I know I'm one of the luckiest people in the world, and I'm so grateful for everything that has happened and is happening to me.
I just wish all this drama would end.
I need it to be later in this month, and December/January. The stuff planned should cheer me up quite a bit.
That's all.

WOW!
First off, I never update this thing anymore...pretty sad.
Second, congrats to Jonas on debuting at #5 on the charts!!!
At their show last night, I kept having flashbacks to last year. It's amazing how far they've come. When they announced that they would be debuting at #5, I literally wanted to cry. I'm so proud of them and they deserve it so much. They've worked so hard.
I think it's safe to say that Joe will be having a good 18th birthday today : ) Happy birthday Joe!
Well, I'm off to attempt to find tickets for tomorrow's show....

Hello, Blogspot...It's been a long time
I haven't posted in quite a while, so I figured I'd post a little something.
I'm at an amazing point in my life right now, and knowing who my real friends are is a great feeling.
The Tools will basically pone your life, so if you haven't added us yet, you should get on that:
http://www.myspace.com/thetoolspace
In about 6 days, Becky and I reunite and will be together until the 9th or 10th. I'm so excited! We're gonna work on our music and what not and get some up on the MySpace.
Also, Lisa is moving here soon! I'm really excited about that, too! We're gonna go see Rooney on the 18th of August in Maryland and I may be interviewing them, so I'm kind of freaking out. Rooney owns my heart, haha!
I get to see Morgan and spend a while with her too! I'm psyched for her to come up here!
CD release will be amazing. The CD is awesome, both the songs, and the whole CDVU+ thing. And Amelia will be there who I haven't seen since December. YAY!
On a low note, some of my "friends" are proving to not really be such great friends. But on a brighter note, some of my friends are proving to be amazing friends and I am so blessed to have them!!
Well, just a boring little update on my life.
I'm gonna go eat some of my almost 25 year old sister's Tinkerbell birthday cake!!

10 MORE Things I Hate (or Love) About You
Stolen from Ryan...I posted this already on my MySpace, but wanted to write about more people so I'm posting it again!
You chose 10 people, and tell how you feel about them. if youre easily offended, dont read this. remember not to assume it is you.
1. we used to hang out a lot and we always had so much fun. i really miss hanging out with you and i feel like i barely know what's going on in your life anymore. i hope we can start hanging out again. you are an awesome person!!
2. you are an amazing guesser! haha...but seriously you are an amazing person and an amazing friend. i miss you all the time since i barely ever see you...i hope i see you soon and we can get to know each other better!!
3. cheesecake and toilets are some of our favorite things, and you are one of my favorite people. i love our phone conversations and whenever we hang out we have a blast. so many laughs and random moments. i can't wait for more!!
4. there always seems to be stupid people and creepy lizard things, but we still remain friends and i love it, haha!! you are amazing and i hope to get to know you more!!
5. whenever i'd see you, we'd talk a lot. now we barely talk and that sucks. i hope we can get back to that place and become friends, but right now that seems impossible for a few reasons...but i still love you to death
6. you call me schmexy even though i'm not. you are amazing even though you can't admit it. and theres not much else to say except that i love you and you are such a good friend! make sure theres room for me to crash in your new apartment in jersey! hahah
7. dunkin donuts and pacts always remind me of how lucky i am to have you in my life. you are amazing and i love you to death!!
8. i knew you were capable of a lot of bad stuff, but i had no idea just how bad. you were extremely lucky and took it all for granted, saying things no one should ever say. i hope you get your karma soon.
9. you barely know my name, but you always make me laugh. you're an awesome person and i hope i can get to know you better!!

Words can't describe
It's almost been a year since my life changed. June 15th, 2006. Just a few more weeks until I see how much of a difference a year can make. I've met so many amazing people.
We got the letters we wrote to ourselves last year in the mail a few days ago. It was pretty funny, actually. Seeing what people wrote to me and what I wrote to myself. It kind of made me realize that a year really changes everything.
To all the people who have changed my life this past year, thank you::
Becky, Ivy, Morgan, Ashley, Lissa, Mandy, Chris, Lisa, Dana, Emilee, Shari, Rachel, Kat, Steph, Amelia, Joyce, Alyson, Alison, Bri, Nicolette, Taylor, Amanda, Becca, Barbie, Krystle, Ana, Ariel, Jana, Aubrey, Brandi, Krista, Michelle, Cyndal, Danielle, Desiree, Shari, Gabby, Lauren, Jessica, Amy, Larry, Kelley, Mighty Mouse Manda, Sarah, Allison, Paula, Kevin, Joe, Nick, John, Garbo, Phil, George, Tim, and countless others, you know who you are. Thank you for everything. For showing me what life is all about. I'm so blessed to have met you all this past year! And to all of my friends who I've known longer than those listed before, you know who you are as well. I love you guys! Thank you so much for sticking with me!
This summer is truly going to be amazing. Los Angeles with my best friend, traveling across the country with some of my other best friends, seeing three kids who have more talent than anyone I've met in my entire life, and so much more. I cannot wait to see what's in store.
June 17th is probably when reality is really going to set in that it's been almost a year (by then, a year and two days).
For those who don't know what happened on June 15th, let me fill you in. I had two tickets to the Aly & AJ concert at the Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre. I won a contest on 98.5 KRZ to go meet Aly & AJ, so I wasn't sure if I really was dying to go to the concert. I decided I'd go, and when I was walking down the street, I met Kevin and then Nick. I had heard about the Jonas Brothers the summer before, maybe even earlier, but this was the first I would be seeing them. Little did I know at the time that seeing them was the best thing that could have happened to me. That day was the start of lots of travel, many concerts, meeting some amazing people who are now some of my best friends, and realizing what life is all about. I don't know where I'd be today if I decided not to go to that concert. I'm pretty glad I did. I'd rather not find out where I'd be if I hadn't gone.
Then:::
Now:::
Anyways, life is amazing right now. Today I couldn't stop smiling.
I've gotta say, I'm pretty excited for the next year. Maybe I'll write my own letter to myself.
Well, just an update on my life for ya. : )

We got the letters we wrote to ourselves last year in the mail a few days ago. It was pretty funny, actually. Seeing what people wrote to me and what I wrote to myself. It kind of made me realize that a year really changes everything.

Becky, Ivy, Morgan, Ashley, Lissa, Mandy, Chris, Lisa, Dana, Emilee, Shari, Rachel, Kat, Steph, Amelia, Joyce, Alyson, Alison, Bri, Nicolette, Taylor, Amanda, Becca, Barbie, Krystle, Ana, Ariel, Jana, Aubrey, Brandi, Krista, Michelle, Cyndal, Danielle, Desiree, Shari, Gabby, Lauren, Jessica, Amy, Larry, Kelley, Mighty Mouse Manda, Sarah, Allison, Paula, Kevin, Joe, Nick, John, Garbo, Phil, George, Tim, and countless others, you know who you are. Thank you for everything. For showing me what life is all about. I'm so blessed to have met you all this past year! And to all of my friends who I've known longer than those listed before, you know who you are as well. I love you guys! Thank you so much for sticking with me!

It’s the friends you can call up at four a.m. that matter
Or, the friends that you can talk to for three hours.
The friends that will LISTEN to you talk about things you've been needing to talk about.
The friends who understand and don't judge.
The friends you can have conversations with that are made up of more than just "haha" and "blah blah".
Today was honestly something I've needed. I didn't realize how much it was all weighing me down until I finally let it out.
I feel like a new person and I haven't felt this free in a long time.
So, to that person who listened, understood, and was an amazing friend, thank you.
And to all of my other friends who have always been there for me, sticking with me through everything (you know who you are), thank you as well.
Tomorrow, I think I'll have to listen to "Innocence" by Avril Lavigne. "Waking up I see that everything is okay, the first time in my life and now it's so great. Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed, I think about the little things that make life great. I wouldn't change a thing about it, this is the best feeling."
This summer will truly be amazing.
To all of my friends I haven't seen in a while and to all those who I see pretty often but still not often enough - I cannot wait to see you and share this summer with you!
Well, I'm beat.
"How many minutes? How many miles? How much time till I see you again?"

Insanity
I realized that this summer is going to be just that...insane. I couldn't be more excited!! Getting to travel the country to see three awesome guys with all of my best friends? I'm so blessed to be able to do this!!
I should know soon which ones I'm going to and which ones I'm not, so those will be posted on here and on my MySpace.
Anyways, I'm really missing all my faves. : (
Sunday I get to see Mandy, Dana, Emilee, and Shari...I'm so excited! Then doing something with Mandy after and maybe Dana, Emilee, and Shari as well.
I'm pretty excited that this school year is almost over. I can't believe I'm going to be a junior! SO WEIRD!
It's also almost been a year since I met those three kids. The year has gone so fast and it has been the best year of my life! That day truly did change my life and my outlook on everything is so different. I'm a much more happy and positive person. I am still amazed at how far those three have come since that day! I'm so blessed to have met such amazing people. I've had so many great experiences that I wouldn't trade for anything.
And to all of my friends...I MISS YOU GUYS! We're going to dominate this summer! Can't wait to share it with you guys!

"hold on tight, it's a roller coaster ride, say goodbye, cause you won't be back again, up and down you're all around, say goodbye and goodnight"

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Today - well, actually last night - I realized how much everything and everyone is changing.
Well not everything and not everyone, but a lot of things and people are changing.
Some people are changing for the better, but some people are changing for the worse. That really bums me out. People I never expected to change and never wanted to change are the ones changing. It's not a good feeling. Feeling like your friends are starting to hang out with the wrong crowd, trusting the wrong people. Definitely not something to smile about.
On a brighter note, I've become a lot closer with a lot of people. I've even become closer with some of my best friends who I was already insanely close with. I'm pretty happy with the people in my life at the moment. I hope they don't all change.
Last night, as Paula knows, something happened. Something that could potentially be amazing. Whether or not it'll actually happen, I don't know, but I'm hoping it will.
Anyways, in the midst of everything changing, I've realized that for the first time in a while, I'm truly happy again. It's been a while since I've felt like this.
So to all my friends (you know who you are), thank you. I love you all.
Yeah, I'm pretty lucky to have such amazing friends..
Sappy sappy sappy as always :) You know you love it ;)

The World Has Turned Emo
Today I've realized something.
The whole world has turned emo. Everyone seems sad or seems to hate their life.
I've got news for you...people have it worse. You're not alone when you think you're the only person upset. Everyone has bad days, bad weeks, even bad months. Trust me, April was a pretty bad month for me. Now things are looking up.
Church last Sunday was amazing. I think it was exactly what I needed to hear. I'm pretty happy that I was able to go. I wish I could go back again this Sunday, but a ride would be needed for that. :( Bummer...I'd love to see my faves and hang out in tunnels. Good times.
Another thing I've realized? I have the most amazing friends in the world. Becky, Morgan, Ashley, Ivy, Chris, Lisa, Krista, Krystle, and many more. I couldn't live without them.
Sappy, sappy, sappy. I know, I'm a sappy person.
Anyways...quit all the emo business. Life's good...Even if it takes a while for you to realize, you'll realize it.
Love them ^^^ I steal pictures from Dana :)
P-O-N-E-D
P.S. I have a question...Are you really a ninja?

Bamboozle Woozle
Bamboozle 2007 was the most insane and chaotic experience of my life.
Saturday May 5th (Day 1) - Becky and I decided to go early. We got there at about 11:00 a.m., parked, and walked towards the huge mob of people waiting to get in, passing about 100 already drunk and high people on the way. Once doors were finally open, we cut a few thousand people refusing to wait an hour or two just to get in to the parking lot of the stadium. Then we went to the main stage to wait for Phil. People were wasted so we decided to go to Phil's merch where we talked to Kat for a minute or two. Then we went back and watched Phil while some more drunk people in front of us made us a little worried. My feet were already hurting really bad by this point and Becky and I were out of place anyway in the mob of hardcore emo kids. So we said, "Let's go shopping!" We went to Palisades (WOOHOO). That was fun. Becky had some soup, we went into the fun little asian store and got our mothers some gifts. We also went to get our hair done by the amazing Shyesha who remembered me. She met Diggy from Run's House earlier that day which was a pretty funny story. We love her. Then Chris IM'ed me so we decided to go see him at his hotel because he was there by himself. Got ourselves some snazzy Koonalicious shirts as seen in my previous blog. Then we went to a diner (a requirement in Jersey). After partying at the diner for a bit and arguing about who was paying (I won again), we went to Subway to get some stuff ;) that was interesting. Then we went to Wal-Mart and had some fun there. Got some new sunglasses, some food, etc. Then Krista called so we sped off to Giant's Stadium to pick her up. Problem was we couldn't find her. Some guy from the band Just Surrender said that if he saw her, he'd tell her we were looking for her. That was pretty funny. Finally we found her and went back to the hotel where we amazed her with our randomness. Then we slept because we had to get up early the next day.
Sunday May 6th (Day 2) - Woke up early for church. Went there and it was amazing as always. Had some interesting conversations with people such as Aunty Crunch (I believe that's what she said) although her real name was Florence (I think). Then we went off to Bamboozle. Spent the day rocking out with some cool kids like Becky, Krystle (who became known as Dishwasher), Paula, Aubrey, etc. It was pretty fun. Fast forward to Jonas time. We were, of course, all at the wrong stage (there were two stages attached to each other) so we all had to shove over. I dominated and got Becky and I back in the front row. Juliette Lewis was playing on the other stage. She was pretty funny. "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my", her crowd-surfing, etc. Then she got off stage and it was Jonas time. Amazing show as always. It was funny hearing "Move On" because I heard it back in November acoustically. I knew some of the words already so that was interesting. After Jonas, we went and chilled near merch talking to people and what not. Then Becky got a huge birthday hug from John Taylor and I got a normal hug. We talked to him for a bit and then he took a random picture of us which I'm pretty interested to see. Then we left and finally found the car in the parking lot which was already on, keys in the ignition, lights on and everything. We all are 100% positive we weren't stupid enough to do something like that. Becky doesn't drive with her lights on in the morning anyways. There was a AAA service there who opened the car for us. It was pretty creepy. Anyways, that was the end of that.
Met The Spill Canvas...woo!
Bummers of the weekend:
Not seeing the boys at all outside of the performance
Not seeing Amelia :( That was an even bigger bummer (Sorry, boys)
So yeah it did pone, however. Extremely fun weekend.
That's all for now.

Jump on the Bandwagon
So, I've decided to jump on the bandwagon and start a blog.
Not a MySpace blog.
Not a LiveJournal.
Nope. A Blogspot...Or is it blogger? Whatever it is, it's a blog. A cool one.
It seems I've already lost my mind. Nothing new there.
Anyways, this first post is basically to say that I'll be posting here with updates on my life (I'm sure you're totally interested) and my latest adventures with my best friends.
Don't know a thing about me? Wow, why are you here then?
Well, just incase, all the info about me can be found at www.myspace.com/xomegglezxo.
Yes, I jumped on the MySpace bandwagon a long time ago.
Wouldn't it be a lot cooler if we could jump on the band bus? Not the bandwagon? Would it be called the bandbus or the band bus? I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. If not, I apologize. You'll have to forgive my randomness.
P-O-N-E-D...
If you're ever in Budd Lake, NJ, go to the Wal-Mart there and go into the aisle with the frozen pizzas. See if it still has "poned" written on it from the inside. You may have to open it and breathe on the door or something.
I think I'll go to Boston.
How I'm going to get there, I'm not quite sure.
Miss this day...
Basically my favorite people ever.
