Hola team. Well as you all may or may not know, I have an undying love for a
Mr. Jason Mraz. I think he is awesomely talented. I only wish I would of listened to Brain when he tried to convince me of his awesomeness sooner. Well Jason finally decided to make a stop in Utah so of course I bought a ticket the moment they went on sale. This is a terribly long story, so I am going to try & shorten it up a bit.
Here goes....

-When I bought said tic they swore up & down in was general admission
-The Jason Mraz website also stated floor seats were general admission
-Fast forward to day of concert....
-I leave work early so Hiba & I can be the first two in the e center so we can
stand so close he can spit/sweat on me when he sings.
-We are in fact the first two people in the e center.
-We get down to the floor & they inform us we are on the second to last
row to the far right.
-Unacceptable!!!
- I go to box office and tell ticket girl to get manager.
-After fighting with first manager girl for like 10 mins, I tell her to
get someone higher up.
-She gets second manager girl
-I realize I know second manager girl because she used to work at Salt Lake County with the ArtTix
-She turns out to be completely useless and incredibly condescending.
-I tell her I worked in ticketing for 5 years and not to feed me crap.
-She remains useless.
-I say "Get me someone who works for Jason Mraz"
-She says "I'm not going to do that"
-I say "Yes, you are. Get me someone that works for Jason Mraz.
-Attractive Jason Mraz tour manager Matt arrives.
-I panic a bit, for he is cute.
-I speak nicely to him & flirt maybe a teeny amount.
-He checks my tics and tells me he will grab me after the show to say a "quick hi" to Jason.
-Awesome show happens.
-I want to have Jason's babies even more now then I did pre-show.
-Matt comes and gets us.
We walk into a room with us and 5 slutty blond girls
-We sit backstage & talk to the band for like 20 mins
-Jason arrives!
-I can't breath/speak
-He makes his way around the room saying hello to everyone
-OMG hes standing in front of me
-He introduces him self and is very polite.
-I stand with my arm around him for like 3 mins because Hiba can't
get the camera to work
-We take pics
-I love him
-We chat about how awesome Obama is.
-I love him more
-He is so excited for the election
-My heart is exploding with love
-He chats with everyone
-He takes funny pics
-Adorable!!
-He signs stuff for everyone including a set list for me
-Slutty Blond girls embarrass them selves numerous times.
-I note he has "Pronoia" written on his arm I touch his arm and ask
him what that means.
-His skin is very soft. He is clearly gay, but fuck it, I love him we
will make it work.
-Slutty blond girl interrupts his explanation of pronoia.
-He answers her then finishes story for us
-The story is lovely just like him.
-Something about the universe bringing you things.
-We hand out for awhile longer like 45 mins then he leaves.
-I love him
-OK maybe that was still long but I don't care I love him!




When he sang this song at this part he put up these Obama pics

"Try to picture the man
To always have an open hand
See him as a giving tree
See him as matter
Matter fact he's not a beast
No not the devil either
Always a good deed doer
And it's laughter that we're makin after all"

PLAYOFFS BITCHES!!!

I got home from Denver at 2:30am last night. I have never been so tired ever. Not in my entire life. I will post more about my trip later but the big news is we are going to the playoffs!!! WAHOOO!!! This pic was in the SL Trib this morning. Please note I'm in it to the right. That's because we rushed the field.

Viva La France!

Does anyone recall my post from Feb 13, 2008? About the beautiful French Speed skater? Well I have a follow up. The Short Track World Cup took place again this weekend, apparently then do like 15 of these all over the world. I don't really understand it, but whatever. So anywoo, he was there! My beautiful Frenchman! I saw him and he saw me then he smiled. But that's not all, after the races ended, he came to me! "I remember you!" he said. He was so sweet we chatted for a minute, and I love him even more now then I did in February. I forgot how completely dreamy he is.I should have gotten his email, but he was so pretty I panicked a little. As he left he said "Maybe I'll see you next year." I hope so.

Ramsey!

So one of my fave besties from high school came back to visit the SLC and I had the great pleasure of attending brunch with her. It was so great to catch up. Afterwords I even got to met the little man in her life Beck. How cute is he!!!

Here is Ramsey & me at her parents house. I spent so much time there in high School! You have no idea. :)
This is little baby Beck. He likes to put bananas in his hair and does not like when people/dinosaurs growl at him.


Remember when I met this dude playing captain Kirk in the new Star Trek movie? His name is Chris Pine. If you forgot here is our pic. Swoon.
How dreamy is he?! I'm pretty sure he should be my new boyfriend. Yum

Casino Night!

Soccer Unites Utah had a great fundraiser this weekend to help raise money for Marcia Williams. It was casino night and it was a blast! My girls and I got all dressed up and headed down the Salt Palace where the place was all decked out. We were best at Blackjack. We even made about $100 dollars. We did however to awful at craps. The night including dinner, a live auction, and all sorts of casino fun. Lots of prizes where givin away too. We traded in all our raffle tics and tried to win some of the geat prizes. We even convinced some of our dudes to toss some tics in for us too. Alas, Hiba and I won nothing. But Mayra did win a few fabulous prizes. She even won a special Twilight movie package at the live auction for $600. After the event we headed over to a suite at the Marriott where we ate, drank and were all around merry. The event was so fun, I only hope they do it next year too!

First Game At The RT/ Good Bye Jessica

Yep when you shorten our new stadiums name, it becomes RT. Which was fitting seeing how damn cold it was Thurs night. Even though the name/parking sucks its actually a really nice stadium.



Plus we got new shirts! They are only funny if you have seen the Javi & Kyle show, if you have not seen it, they the shirts wont amuse you. Sorry.


And in other news, Jess moved to New Jersey. (that's why we are phasing her out in this photo...) This is a pic from her Goodbye party 2 Fridays ago. We had a swell time at Happy Sumo, then some drama, then some more fun at Port 'O Call.

MISS YOU JESS!!

New Phone!

I went out and got a new phone last night the LG "Shine". You might Know it as the the phone from the commerical with Brody Jenner & Lauren Conrad.

Yes this is the whole reason why I wanted this phone. Well that and and fact its just so shiny. Now, let me tell you i am aware that this is not the actual phone that Lauren & Brody use. Every Hills watcher knows that Lauren has a Blackberry & Brody has an IPhone. But if its good enough for them to sell it, Its good enough for me to buy. This may or may not be why I buy Smart Water too.
After the old phone took a swim into my iced tea and seized to function. I was forced to get a new phone. And let me tell you, Its lovely.

Wait a minute sister...

So Hiba & I headed out to the Gavin Degraw/Charlotte Sometimes concert last Saturday, and we had ourselves quite the time. I did how every not enjoy the 19 year old morman couple who choose to grind dance next to me the entire concert. The dude had very unmoisturised elbows and I did not enjoy when they touched me. His elbows were grossly rough. There were also quite a few girls who think Gavin Degraw is the sexiest thing ever, and I did not enjoy them trying to push me out of my second row position just so they could grasp onto and not let go of his hand.



We met the band Charlotte Sometimes and the lead singer was super nice. With talked about "The Hills" with her for like 10 mins. (because its the best show ever...)
Please not how the dude behind me looks like Uncle Jesse from Full House. Awesome.
Then we met Gavin he was nice and well, a bit weird. My convo with him went like this:
(Please note he has a very deep south accent...)
ME-"Hi, could we talk a picture with you?"
GD-"Sure, whats your name?"
ME-"Heidi"
GD "I'm Gavin, nice to meet you."
ME-"Nice to meet you"(while thinking, yeah, no shit you're Gavin)
GD-"Hold me close" (yes you read that right)
ME-Nervous laugh
Then Gavin Degraw grabbed mine and Hiba's ass.
GD-"Thank you"
ME-"Thanks so much drive safely."
GD-"Thank you Baby!"

So whats Deep South for awkward?

Dear Miley, I get it that "You're just being Miley" But if its warm enough to wear shorts then its not cold enough to wear Uggs. Please keep this in mind for the future.
Thanks,
Heidi
Ps Please lose the stupid headband too.

She Bangs.

I have received quite a few texts messages the past few days from people thinking I actually plan on wearing my hair as it is photographed in the last post. And to you all I say, Seriously? You know I have better taste then that. Here are more pics of the new do.







In other news, the last Real game at Rice Eccles stadium was on Saturday, and I must admit, it I was a little sad. While I am excited for the new stadium. I'll miss RES. And since I don't watch football, I'll probably never be back... Please note my parents in the background. Its amazing I turned out as normal as I did.

I got my hair did.

Soccer Unites

Yesterday I spent the day volunteering at a charity golf event for Soccer Unites. It was freezing in the morning, and it got kind of boring being by yourself all day, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. Once the sun came out and the golfers started coming. I even got to talk to my one and only fave basketball player of all time Thurl Bailey. When he got traded from the Jazz I quit watching basketball. Yes, I told him that. He was very nice, and freakishly tall. Riding in a golf cart is a terrifying experience. I took some pics documenting the day with Julia's camera, and here they are:

Today I went to the Dew Tour.

I have absolutly no idea why...

A Story.

Monday night Hibs, Jenny and I were headed down the road when we saw this:

It was attached to the hood of the Grandma car. Well, taking sympathy on the poor creature we decided we should save its certain death.
We pulled over, Jenny hopped out, found herself a wood chip and proceeded to try and
poke it off. When this didn't work, Hiba then got out and attempted to scoop it up. It flew in the air and landed promptly on Jenny's ass. It was like a magnet. This caused Jenny to run screaming up and down the street. Priceless.

Five Funnies For Friday:

Corner of your heart.

Is it that bad to come in second?

I am not someone who thinks there is a lid for every pot. I don't think everyone has a soul mate, true love, or that they will end up with someone. Happily ever after endings aren't real. Very often people end up alone. People say all the time not to settle. But what if this person you are "settling for", is it. What if they are all you get. If they make you happy is that enough? If they make you their number one, does there have to be some cosmic true love connection?


How bad is being second? It might depend on who you ask. The person just picked for Vice President of the country might have very different views on this then the person who took silver in the Olympics or the back up keeper who spends his days on the bench, or the understudy who has to sit back a watch someone else become the star.

People often say second isn't so bad. "Hey, were still ranked second in the west!" or "I'd be happy to be the Vice President!" or "A silver Olympic medal that's great! You're second best in the world!" But can anyone name one person who came in second behind Michael Phelps in the Olympics?

Some seconds do finally at long last end up becoming number one.
Theodore Roosevelt and Harry S Truman started out as Vice President. Anjelina Jolie and Camilla Parker-Bowles got bumped up big time. Sutton Foster started out as an understudy in Thoroughly Modern Millie, but ended up winning the Tony.

But what about when it comes to matters of the heart? When it comes to being second in someones life, suddenly the table turns.
Magazines, friends, eharmony ads, etc. always say "Find a person who is willing to make you their number one! Their everything!" Well what if there isn't someone who wants to make you number one? Is being runner up really so bad in this case? Are you just settling?

Should you just take what you can get and run with it? Should you just learn to be OK with the fact you aren't the immediate go to person but second in line? Is something better then nothing? And what happens to the people who come in third?


Corner of Your Heart
Ingrid Michaelson

There's a corner of your heart for me.
There's a corner of your heart just for me.
I will pack my bags just to stay in the corner of your heart.
Just to stay in the corner of your heart.

There is room beneath your bed for me.
There is room beneath your bed just for me.
I will leave this town just to sleep underneath your bed.
Just to sleep underneath your bed.

There's one minute of your day.
There's one minute of your day.
I will leave this man just to occupy one minute of your day.
Just to occupy one minute of your day.

Just to sleep underneath your bed.

Just to stay in the corner of you heart.

Hair today...

I am considering getting my haircut in this fashion:






*Please note: I am not considering wearing the sweater tube top.*

Standing by a strength of my own

What do you do when your only reason you felt excited to get out of bed has gone away?

All I did this past weekend was sleep. I tried to do other things, I even left the house a few times, but it all felt like a moot point.

I wish there was something to be excited for, but I can't find a thing.
I remember when I used to wake up so ready to conquer the world. I had dreams and I was going to achieve them. Everything was exciting and new. Everything was an inspiration. It was all planned out it was all going to work. But it didn't. Now I just feel stuck with no way to get out. I'm so tired of having no money. I work so hard and still nothing. I feel completely misunderstood by nearly everyone around me. I'm talking and talking but no one hears what I'm trying to say.

The events I used to love doing feel stressful and hard to deal with. Going to the theatre makes me feel nothing but remorse and jealously for not doing what I wanted to do with my life. And now movies and starting to feel the same way. Nearly every time I go to a movie I wish I was in it not watching it. And my family is no help. I can't even shout an insult at a soccer game without my mother telling me how I'm going to ruin my voice and not be able to sing on Broadway. I am 100% aware that I am never going to sing on Broadway. I was never good enough, and I never will be. I've accepted this, why is this so hard for my family to accept?

What makes it worse, is the person I felt most inspired and understood by, the person who made me feel like I could achieve anything, is the person who made me realize how completely alone I am in this world. If I've learned anything this past week, its that everyone can, and probably will let you down. Even those closest to you. There are so many people that are fair weather friends, they love to be there when thing are going well, but if you are upset or sad they have better things to do. You have to look out for number 1. You are the only person you can count on.

Its hard trying to determine who your real friends are. I am very good at letting people in to soon. I always end up hurt. There are many friends who think they have the answer of what you should do. Its easy for them to tell you because they are not in your place. Its always easier to fix someone elses problems before your own. Oddly enough, the people who I felt were most understanding to me this past week. Where people who I don't see everyday. In fact I don't think I've seen either of them in over a year, but both sent me messages of comfort, concern, and complete support without telling me how I should change my life. Or the key to fixing all my problems. But with just a quick email and text I knew they are both there for me 100%
And that meant the world to me.

Saving My Face
KT Tunstall
See the look on my face
From staying too long in one place
But every time I try to leave
I find I keep on stalling

Feel like a big old stone
Standing by a strength of my own
But every time the morning breaks
I know
I’m closer to falling

I’m all out of love
All out of faith
I would give everything
Just for a taste
But everything’s here
All out of place
Losing my memory
Saving my face
Saving my face


I’m listening to what you say
Even though I look the other way
You could never understand
The feeling of what I’m needing

I’m all out of love
All out of faith
I would give everything
Just for a taste
But everything’s here
All out of place
Losing my memory
Saving my face
Saving my face

Leave it all to me
I will do the right thing
Maybe I’ll be everything I need
Leave it all to me
I will do the right thing
Maybe I’ll be everything I need
Leave it all to me
I will do the right thing
Do the right thing *(no 3rd one)


I’m all out of love
All out of faith
I would give everything
Just for a taste
But everything’s here
All out of place
Losing my memory
I’m losing the best of me
