It's the time when we look back at the memories we've made this past year, whether it's the adventures or the mistakes, and we wipe that clean and start over. Smiles.
2012 was pretty good for me, unexpected but pretty good. I always say unexpected is a good thing. If everything was predictable, we'd lead boring lives and that's not fun. So I hope 2012 was good for you guys too. Here are my favorite moments.
I know the posts from Veronica's visit are kind of sporadic and I apologize for that. There's just stuff happening in between that I have to blog about so yeah. So about two weeks ago we went to Warped Tour in Pomona. It was my third year in a row going so it's sort of become a tradition. I've gone with the Andy man every year and we have welcomed a Veronica into our two-person club. Smiles.

This is Alfie Scully of We Are The Ocean. Aren't we cute?
I didn't get as sore as I have gotten in previous years from pushing and hitting people because most of the bands we watched this year didn't require that from where we were standing. But my shoulders are basically black. My arms and my forehead were the only parts of my body that got tan. However, I still had one of the best times I've had at Warped ever because I was with my shenanigan buddies.
My middle school and high school dreams came true since we saw The Used, Yellowcard, Taking Back Sunday, and All Time Low. I was super pissed that we missed You Me At Six since they let us in late. It didn't make shit of sense because doors opened at 11:30am but their set time was at 11:10am. But what can you do?
So in last year's Warped Tour post, I told you all about this little band Andy and I literally stumbled upon called It Boys! and we ended up loving them. We saw them again this year and that was fun. But anyway, the same thing happened this year. We saw this UK band We Are The Ocean and I fell in love, not only with their music, but some of the band members as well. They were at the entrance telling people to watch them and we ended up seeing them. They were great and meeting them was fun, plus they're not hard to look at. Very handsome men. Smiles.
It was such a great time. It won't be the same next year without Andy since he'll be gone on his mission, but we'll definitely be there in his honor. I really want to go back and relive this day, it was amazing.
I've been really bad at posting lately. I'm just glad that Inspiration Wednesday exists.
So without further ado, today's Inspiration comes from what I've been thinking about for weeks now, and that is music festivals. Particularly, Coachella, Outside Lands, and Warped Tour.
First off, I am super jealous of the people who went to Coachella last weekend and those who are there right now for this weekend (um Tupac). I can't wait until I get a chance to go. A couple of days ago, the line up for Outside Lands went up and I want to go so bad. Hopefully I can save up enough money to go in August. Such a good line up.
So Warped Tour. Yes, I am going again for the third year in a row with Andy and Veronica. I'm so excited. Even though Warped Tour isn't really a festival, I still put it in that category since it has a whole bunch of bands. I love it because I find new bands to listen to.
So I went on Polyvore and came up with different outfits to wear this year at Warped.
I'm so excited for summer time. It's getting a little warmer here. Smiles.
Yesterday I went to Warped Tour in Pomona with Andy. And I was beastly.
I'm absolutely exhausted and still a little (okay, a lot) sore since I got a sunburn from being out in the sun all day and people fell on top of me and I was elbowing bodies everywhere and you know what goes on at Warped. I didn't get as sunburned as Andy though. I felt so bad, for him and myself. But In-N-Out never tasted so good afterward. Smiles.
When I develop the pictures from my film camera I will post them.
I have two words. Simple. Plan. They were my favorite part of the day. Especially their lead singer, Pierre Bouvier. So sexy. I loved all of the bands we saw, even August Burns Red, which is definitely not my type of music. We found a new band that I actually enjoyed by accident called It Boys and I was really happy. Thank you Simple Plan, 3OH!3, It Boys, August Burns Red, Every Avenue, Less Than Jake, and Set Your Goals for a great day.

Here I go again about this woman named Alexa Chung.
I've blogged about her before and her amazing style. You don't hear about her a lot but when you do, it's all about her wonderful fashion sense.
Reading about Glastonbury 2011 yesterday, all I saw was Alexa Chung and her outfits. She and I somewhat share the same style because I would wear all the outfits she wore. And they are all a favorite. I can't pick one. She is perfection.
I want to go to a music festival so badly. I mean I went to Warped Tour last year and I'm going again tomorrow, which is why I thought of posting about Glastonbury, but Warped Tour is just not the same. But I know I'll enjoy it a great deal. Ever since middle school, I have wanted to see Simple Plan live (yes, I just admitted that). It's like a childhood dream come true and I can't wait. Smiles.
