One Ticket to Life, Please

Yeah, I can’t believe the weekend I had. It was completely out of this world amazing. I cried like a baby when I came back to the Athens hotel yesterday because I wanted to get right back on a plane to Italy. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna stay there for a few months this summer, or atleast one. I think I’m gonna try to start a singing career there cause it’s a lot easier for an American singer there. The singers there actually kinda suck, so I’m sure I can find something hahaha. But yeah, this was the most amazing weekend of my life. First I traveled to Naples alone. Might not seem like a big deal to you, but I’ve never ever traveled alone and when I got off the plane and saw my cousins I was like “holy shit i did something right on my own!” hahaha. I like couldn’t believe the things that were happening while they were happening, it was so amazing. The first night some of my cousins took me to a local resturant and it was just so fantastic to sit there at a table with family I hadn’t seen for so long and drink wine and laugh. I can’t even begin to describe how much I wanted to cry all the time from happiness. Then Friday Rosa and Pasquale took me to Naples and we went to this cliff thing where we could see the entire city, and then we walked the streets and ate croquettes hahah. Then later I was supposed to go to karaoke with my cousins, but then my cousin Fiore was like yeah we’re gonna go first and then meet everyone there. I was like um okay…and so Fiore and his girlfriend took me out for a drink first and they were like Oh you have to get super dressed up because it’s a nice place and I was like ummm karaoke at a nice place? that’s weird..but okay. So then after drinks we went to the karaoke place, and they’re like oh yeah right in here so I walked in and it was this huge empty room with a curtain and I’m like super confused and all of a sudden the curtain opens and music plays and my ENTIRE family comes out from behind it singing happy birthday. So yeah, I had my first surprise party ever..in Italy. Hahahah. It was absolutely mind blowing. Then Saturday Fiore and his girlfriend took me to Pompeii to just walk around and see the sites and the stores, which was nice, then we had lunch and then I got a tattoo. Benito has the tattoo parlor in the front of my grandmother’s house, so we literally got up from lunch, went into the other room, did it, and then came back out and more family was there to see me haha. It was hysterical having to explain to EVERYONE not to tell my dad. I was like begging my grandmother and she’s like okay, I’ll tell him you slept all day or something and I’m like oh god no don’t tell him that cause then he’ll get mad about that too hahaha. I DIDNT CRY! Benito was like are you ready? And i’m like yeah sure then he took out the needle gun or whatever the hell that this is and i went omg no i’m not ready and i called out for Fiore and made him hold my hand and tell me stories. I gasped a lot but I didn’t cry. Then at night we went to an Italian club..in a castle. No big deal…hahahaha. But yeah, Italian clubs are FUN. But people are crazyyyy. And the drinks are super strong. So yeah….most amazing weekend of my life? I think so!
