Today when I visited Kyle, a bunch of his friends were there. He was doing WAY better than yesterday! He started his chemo today, and some breathing exercises and he was able to hit the healthy level of breathing that someone his age should be. He said “I feel like I just made the biggest accomplishment of my life” and then laughed. I’m super proud of him already!
He was eating a huge plate of macaroni & cheese and he was pleased to tell me they had a lot of vegan and vegetarian options on the hospital menu for him to choose from. I’m glad he’s sticking to his morals (even under the circumstances!)
He is really comfortable at the hospital, and was even walking to what they call the “teen room” to play video games with his friends, when I left. I’m going to visit him again on Monday. I’ll keep y’all updated, if you want.
P.s. Look at the cold faces on Jeremy and Johnny….ahahah clearly not stoked that a picture is being taken of them.
I’ve been putting this off for a while because my family wanted to keep it kind of secret, but my mom asked me to book a benefit show for my brother today. So everyone is going to have to find out sooner or later.
Hey, remember that time Heather drew up a tattoo for me and I posted it on my blog and got like 100 notes on it? I’m actually getting it tattooed on me right now, finally.
Sometimes, I think about all the fun shows coming up and all the fun shows this year and when I’m at a show that’s wild, where people are having fun and stage-diving and crowd-surfing…I can’t stop myself from thinking about you, and wishing you were there. I think about how much fun you would be having.
i’ve never felt so strongly for someone in my life. every moment i’m with you is like ecstasy. i’m so in love and i just keep falling harder every day. i am so lucky.
I’m having a really really hard time accepting the fact that I’m home and not on tour anymore. I know it was a short tour, but I really had the best time of my life, and I don’t want it to end. I don’t want Jon, Dave, and Rob to go back to school. I want to hang out with them all day every day again. I want to go to shows and meet new people in other states, I want to make new friends. I just feel super lonely now.
You drunkenly told me you were going home, and when I asked if you were driving, I was left with a pair of rolled eyes and a feeling of resentment.
I don’t want to be your mom anymore than you want me to be. But sometimes I swear I’m the only one who worries about you at all.
Ive never had this tone as an option in my voice box. But you have some problems and you’re too busy gulping down 3-month old Four Loko, to realize anything.
I don’t want to be your mom anymore than you want me to be. But sometimes I swear I’m the only one who cares about you at all.
I won’t say I’m sorry anymore, I’m not sorry. I’m not sorry. I’m not sorry.
This is a video of Circle Circle’s set from our show the other night with our new guitarist! I hope you guys like it, it’s still going to take me a while to get used to the way it sounds with an electric instrument involved.
It’s not the whole set, it’s only a couple songs. I didn’t realize I close my eyes so much when I play. I never know where to look so I just look at the inside of my eyelids, I guess.
I just roasted my mom in front of everyone, oops. I just hate when she acts like my tattoos are the only thing interesting about me. Were at her friends friends house, and she goes “Kayla show her your tattoos!” and I was like “Mom, there are more interesting things about me than my tattoos. Can you not make me show them to everyone all the time? You act like thats all I have to talk about….”
I don’t understand why people think straight edge = no fun.
I was just told for the second time this month from someone that, “why would someone straight edge have a party?” to which I responded “straight edge people can have parties too…?” and they said “I just feel like it’s cool if you’re drunk too, but why would you want people drinking around you if you’re edge?”
This person wasn’t aware that I’m straight edge. I said, “Well I’ve gone to parties and it doesn’t bother me. I still have fun…just because someone doesn’t drink doesn’t mean they can’t have fun around drunk people.” and he said “Oh… you’re straight edge?” and I was like “Yep.”
I just drove past a billboard that in huge letters said “We want your wood!” and had an image of a “sexy” lumberjack lady on it. It was an advertisement for some wood chopping company or something.
Sometimes it still shocks me that someone could ever think that is OK, and that things are allowed to be advertised that way.
