You CAN choose your family.

Just for fun last night Sean and I were sitting around talking about our awesome friends. =) We were actually talking about family, and none of our family came up.
That's pretty bad huh? We decided that you really can choose your family.. I haven't been close to anyone in my family besides my mom and grandma for al ong time. Then when mom died, Grandma seemed to kinda back away from me as well a little.. so the only actual family I really know anymore is my own.. Sean and Mikayla. Not that I'm saying that's bad because those two people are my lifeline... they are my world and if they were the only two people I'll ever have, then I'm perfectly fine with that... But, when we were talking about all the awesome people in our life, we pin pointed these as being extra special to us. =)

I'm not gonna go through and give everyone titles or anything.. I'll just say that the people in this post are my new family... they don't need specific names... they are just family.. They mean more to me than they'll ever know.

First and Foremost.. theres Rob. Good ole Rob. hehe I luv my Rob. =) I make it a point to tell him everyday and it's really kind of a joke with us but I do really love my Rob. I know that we can count on Rob for anything and everything. He's the one who started Master Of Fright Productions with us too so he's not only one of our best friends, he's also our business partner. And he busts ass on it. =) I could go on and on about Rob on here, and I'm sure I'll talk more about him in upcoming posts cause he lives with us now so he's always around for our chaos. hehe. I can definitly forsee all of us years from now still on the same page we're on now with each other. He's one of those people that you can't imagine NOT being their friend. He's too sweet for his own good sometimes.. lol And he has great hair. hahahahaha


Donna. I've known Donna a little over a year now. In that year, we've learned most everything about her. She's been there for us, she's given us advice, she's even helped to calm me down at times. In one of our conversations, I learned that Donna and I were both raised by blind people and that those people that were so special to us... knew each other as well... We both have a lot of the same "beliefs" and interests and can talk for hours about nothing. I wouldn't trade Donna for anything... she's our Goth Mommy. =)

Hehe... and since we call her our Goth Mommy... we of course have to have our Goth Father too... Captain Insano, The Dude, haha we have so many names for Steve. He's a super great person as well. Him and Donna discovered each other about amonth or so ago and have been going strong since then and yes... say it with me.. it is the CUTEST thing I've ever ever seen. lol Steve is one of the best guitar players I've ever heard... he can rock the fuck out of a beat and he's entertaining to watch too. heh... I've taken all kinds of pictures of Steve and they all turn out awesome so it's really hard to pick just one.. lol Soooo... I'll pick two. Cause it's my blog... and I can. =) So there.


Now, talking about Steve brings me to Troy. Troy is the singer/ guitar and Steve is the guitarist for Once Fed Lies. Which, by the way, is one of THE best bands in Louisville. You need to come check them out sometime. Anyway......... lol

Troy is one of those people that you know you can count on for anything... literally. If you are upset, or pissed, or sad, or really happy.... he's always there to talk. He's also one of the most caring, giving people I've ever met... Sean and I have always been giving people, but we've never really met anyone that is truley like we are in that aspect until now. I have had some really great conversations with Troy about life, and why we're here, and where we're going and what else is out there with us... and just everything... he's very easy to talk to. I think that he doesn't give himself enough credit a lot of times too..... =) He's also a very talented musician and singer.


And of course... no Troy is complete without an Adrienne. =) Adrienne is Troy's fiance. I'm not real sure how long they've been togehter but they are so damned cute together. hehe Adrienne has a 2 year old little girl too.. but I won't post pics of someone kiddo without asking them first so you just gotta take my word that she's a cutie. hehe I haven't really gotten to spend a whole lot of time with Adrienne but the time I have spent with her has showed me that she's a great person as well. She's too damned much fun wether we're at the bar, front stage dancing.. or in the kitchen making hamburgers and trying to chase kids around at the same time.. haha I don't get along with too many females so I'm always stoked when I find a girly that is like me in many ways. =) Plus, she seems to keep Troy pretty happy too.. so that has to say something for her right? hehe Kind of a crappy picture of me.. but she looks good in it. lol


We've all decided that we are all apart of some sort of outside force... Theres something within us all that pulls us together and keep us that way. It's really exciting to finally find people that care, and cherish our friendships. I know that I can count on all these people no matter what the problem may be. Can't break our force field bitches.... I'll get the Kool-Aide man on yer ass... OH YEAH!

I'm not trying to exclude anyone either... so I have a few people that need an honorable mention. lol

One of the bands we help promote is called MachineGun SkullFuck.... yeah you read that right. lol I love all the guys in it.. but two of the members have really struck something in me. Frogg and Spyder. They are very boisterous, energetic, opinionated guys and they are fucking awesome. I have to admit I was worried about their attitudes at first but their outlook and ways they act are what have made me love them so. And everyone else loves them too. =) Spyder is off to join the Navy soon though, but I plan on writing him and Sean and I are going to try our best to go to his graduation too.... These guys are the shit....



Jeremy and Melissa are two people we've known for some time now too. Sean met Jeremy where he works and Melissa is Jeremy's girlfriend so that's how we met her. We don't get to hang out with them as often as we'd like cause they live across town from us but we still manage to make time for each other. =) I luv both these people though.. I've had many a conversation with them both about issues I'm having, or issues their having.. and I've just really grown to think the world of them. =)


Fender.... I could go on and on about Fender.... I luv him to pieces. He's been one of the main contributing factors to us getting where we are now... he's definitly the one who got Sean moving in the right direction. Fender is aiiradio god.. he's one of the main DJ's and hosts the Aiirtoberfest every year for the station. He's also one of the biggest pervs I've ever met.. lol But I luv it. For his birthday he asked for a pair of my panties.. lol and yes.. that's what the white thing in the picture is. =) But again, like many of the others I've listed... Fender is a great person to talk to. He's also a fucking blast when hes out at the clubs with us.... There is only one Fender. =)

And of course, as everyone knows.. theres Amanda.. she's been my best friend since we were both 8 years old. We have literally been through anything and everything you could imagine. I would never leave her out.. she's my sister and my best friend for life. =) The picture is of her and her Hubby Mark whom I've also known since i was 8.. she was just barely pregnant in this pic... she had the baby this past week though. hehe YAY!



So see... when mom first died I got kinda down thinking that I didn't really have anyone... but I've since realized that I have more than most people could ever dream about. So if you're on this post, then Thank you. At some point in my life you have touched me in an undescribable way.. hehe that sounds a little onri huh? But for real.. I wouldn't be where I am right now without every single person on this page so thanks guys for being who you are. =)
