Party Party Party!!!!

Queer party:

As part of the American Pavilion we throw parties here and there. Our first major party was hosted by John Cameron Mitchell, the director of Rabbit Hole, obviously he's gay hence our "queer party." Well I have never been to a "real" party before so I didn't know what to expect.  It wasn't to bad, the music was just as normal as any party I've been too. The only real difference is everyone was drinking except me of course. the guys at the bar were making fun of me cuz I was buying oj. A few of my friends teased me for a while but then they said I had strong will power since temptation was all around me. well good for me. 


Later a few drag queens showed up, they were really nice. one was nice enough to spill his entire beer all over me. the cast of "We need to talk about Kevin" showed up so I got a pic with Ezra the kid that plays Kevin he's actually really nice and down to earth. John C. Riley wasn't so nice,you really can't blame him when peeps are always chasing him.  Plus one stupid girl knocked his wife over cuz she was chasing him with a camera! Honesty peeps respect. Well towards the end when everyone was getting wasted I wanted to go home but we couldn't until we cleaned up the beach and the pavilion next to us. So I started picking up stuff off the beach and this gay guy came up to me. 


Gay guy: I really like your shirt. (I was wearing a really nice blue blouse.) 
Me: Thanks it matches my eyes 
Gay guy:wait let me see (looks deep into my eyes) yes wow it does it looks good on you and your colors Omg. 
Me:what about them?
GG: I can read peoples colors and yours show that you are a good person. I can see that you are not a fake person because I hate fake people and there are so many fake people around here. So thank you for being a real good real person. 
Me: awe thanks that made my night ;) 
Lol after that we finished cleaning up and left we had to take a cab since it was 3 in the morning. Then I went to bed. Thank goodness



Day something: A great morning not. 

Well my day started at 10 am when my room mentor woke me up to tell me I forgot to check in. We are suppose to check in between 6am and 9am, this check in system is just to make sure you are still alive. So basically after my mentor woke me up I got up and ran out the door. The thing with these doors are you have two keys. One for in inside lock one for the outside lock. There is a lock box outside to keep the outside key so that all 5 roommates have access to the key. If you lose a key it's like 120 euros. For those that don't know the currency rate for a euro its almost 1.50 American dollars for one euro. So yeah American money isn't worth anything here. 
Any who I ran barefoot to check in then went back to bed. I couldn't fall back asleep so I just got up and hit the town. I caught a movie then went to work. It wasn't busy and there wasn't anything to do, and since I'm adhd I walked around like a crazy person. Lol so my day wasn't the best but hey I am in freaken cannes France. 



Another day another what?

Work is work 6 hours of nothing takes a lot out of you lol. I was bored and didn't have any tables to attend so I went into the storage room and organized everything. My boss walked in when I was finishing up and was very impressed with my hard work. To show his appreciation he gave me a sticker. So appreciated.

Later I decided to go out with some friends that night, we tired to catch a movie but since it was opening night they didn't let anyone in with out a ticket. So we decided to go out to eat, one of the girls needed it she was such a b on an empty stomach. We went to this fancy resturant called Caffe Roma slightly pricey but way good. After that I wanted to go home so me and the b girl caught a cab and went home. After that I crashed. 





Producers party. 

Well I volunteer to work the producers party. I thought it be fun and a good chance to get rid of my cards and such. Well since we weren't throwing the party networking wasn't aloud, oh well. My job was to watch other the crates of beer and keep the back organized. I was next to some trees and none of the pavilions have bathrooms so I had to physically push producers who were drunk and trying to pee on the trees away. Not exactly how I wanted to meet some of them lol. 
The party finished at 8 in the morning I started to fall asleep so they sent me home.
I only slept for a few hours.     


Later I went to the pavilion to check my email and see if I could go find where frtd was being advertised...YEAH I was so tired when I got there I hit the student lounge and fell asleep. Our lounge is next to this one building that tourists can hang out. Apparently one tourists saw me sleeping on the couch and took my picture wtf.



Day for the doctor:

During the producers party I discovered this rash form on my legs. I joked that its because my legs aren't used to being covered (yes that means I was wearing pants) the next morning it hurt to walk and I had to work another party.
The morning after that it was hard to walk and my knee hurt really bad. It hurts to bend it but I just assumed it was from standing all day and perhaps I slept on it wrong. Any who, I told my mentor that I wanted someone who speaks French to go to the pharmacy with me. They told me to go to the pavilion and wait for her. 
The lady took me to go see the firemen because they have more medical training than the pharmacy peeps. They told us to go to the hospital, so we took a cab to the hospital. 


It's really chilled and relaxed here I didnt have to wait long before they set me on a table. The doctor came in and we talked about what it might be, she thought maybe it was an allergy to my PANTS!!! 
BTW they made me take my shoes off to make sure the rash wasn't going further down. I was slightly embarrassed cuz I've been running around for the last two weeks so my feet are broken up, sorry about that. Well she then had two different doctors come in and look at my legs. None of them had any idea of what it might be. Since my knee hurts they did an x-ray and took a few blood samples, so now France has my blood gag. This wasn't exactly how I wanted to spend my last Friday in Cannes. I got frustrated when they were taking my blood cuz the doctor kept asking me about if I had any diseases, now I have to wait to see if they can find something. Personally its just a rash give me some cream and send me to bed. Finally when my blood results came in they took me to a room and 3 new doctors came to examine me. This gave a grand total of 6 doctors to check out this rash. Wtf. 
They said my blood was normal and that they didnt know what was wrong with me they recommend coming in on Monday to see the skin doctor, Naw it took them 6 hours to tell me nothing ill pass.  

After I went back to the hotel and got food and took some of my roommates pills and passed out. 


I'm done working at the American Pavilion, today is my day off, I'm going to try to catch some movies today and tomorrow. We also have our closing party tomorrow. I'm sad to see this be over but I'm so ready to go see Rome and London! Also I miss America, and I'm dying for some FREAKEN DR. PEPPER! Yeah!!!!


Love,
