the good, the bad, and the ugly

the good:
oscar party
movies
betsey johnson earrings for $5
dinner with besties

the bad:
not saving enough $$
bills
wanting to buy cute stuff and not being able to
sick people

the ugly:
there isnt really any ugly in my life right now.

as you can see, my weekend breaks even, not good, not bad, just a few days that amount to nothing either positive or negative.
___________________________________________

i really want to go to bonnaroo but i dont know if its gonna happen.
this makes me very :(

...

today has been one of those days when i have like 432 things on my mind but tbh, there is only one thing thats been bugging me for a while.
i dont know. i feel like im in a transitional period right now. i know what i want to do, i just cant quite make all the right decisions at this moment. im like right on the edge with a million things dangling in front of me and i cant decide if i should just jump off and go for it all or take a step back and think a little harder so i dont fall too hard and end up getting hurt.

i dont know why i make things so complicated all the time. i need a hobbies other than reading and thinking.

blah blah blah

ugh. so i need to find cute luggage for the cruise. i already have that one cutie suitcase thing from urban outfitters that i bought like two million years ago, but i want something else too bc that is just not big enough for 5 days of clothes and shoes.

also, i ate spaghetti today and now i feel sick. im beginning to wonder if maybe im becoming allergic to noodles. that would suck.
i also want an energy drink really really bad but im trying not to spend any money and plus if i stop on my way to work to get one i will end up being late. ugh.

also, im really sick of a very specific person that i work with, like if i could hit this person with a car and not get caught, i probably would, thats how annoying the situation has become. whatever.
ive just decided that im going to get my energy my drinks b4 work. they can suck it.

:)

im a loser

so since ive been obsessed with dying my hair ashlee simpson red for the past, i dont know how long, i finally decided to just copy and paste her hair on my head via ms.paint and here are the results...






i did one from new years, bc in winter im like hella white, and then one from like summer bc in summer i get a little more tan, and to be honest, i look pretty fucking fierce in both (minus the chipmunk face im rockin in the new years pic, but whatev.)
so im doing it...eventually. and by eventually i mean in like 4 months when i can actually save up some money that i wont need for vacations.

but yeah...opinions please.

srsly.

STFU. i met anderson cooper tonight.

my life is now officially complete.

i need another job.

im trying to save for the cruise in may but i also really want to go to bonnaroo which is less than a month after i'll be getting done with the cruise. its approx. $700 for the cruise, thats including my budgeted $200 for incidentals (alcohol, cool stuff, gifts). then bonnaroo will be another $275 for the tickets and camping passes, not including the gas to get up there($150-ish) or money for food/fun($?).

basically, if i want to do both of these i need to pick a corner on canal st. and pick up some business or get another job. obvi, id prefer another job i just dont know what else to do. im thinking of maybe getting a cheesy mall job, i think thats so demeaning though. i always feel like malls are for 15 year olds. i def. cant do fast food bc im just entirely too snobby to ever work in a greasy little fast food chain. and i cant really find a good office job with hours that would work with the hotel. uuuuugh.

WHY CANT MONEY JUST FALL OUT OF THE SKY?!?!

hey mama

this made me cry sfm.
the grammys this year were pretty good. i didnt get to see all of the performances or awards bc i was at work for some of it, but i got home as kanye came on. im glad amy won, pissed the foo fighters beat bruce, but glad that mark ronson won for best producer.

anyway, im off to bed now bc tomorrow me and lele are going to the jewelry show.


peace & love

sometimes i get really bent out of shape over stupid things that shouldnt hurt my feelings.
i havent decided if this is or isnt one of those situations yet.
i just know im hurt and pissed, but in all likely hood will be over it by tomorrow.
i am sure, though, that im really lucky to have such good friends.
seriously... i dont know what id do without them.


so heres to you, my lovelies.
i know i can always count on you no matter how big or small my problem or celebration is.

i got to see obama today. i got to see obama today.
i didnt make it into the auditorium speech because they were already at capacity by the time i got there (i literally spent about 25 minutes trying to find a parking place). but because there was so much overflow from people who didnt make inside, he did a mini speech outside tulane, in the courtyard, and just those ten or so minutes really were inspiring. i really feel like he has what it takes to turn the country around. he has a lot of great ideas and im just completely blown away by his sincerity and passion for people, its something you dont see often & especially not in politics.



on the more superficial front, i really really really wanna dye my hair a bitchin red color. unfortunately, im too scared bc 1) my hair is like super healthy and awesome right now 2) i dont think i really have the right skin tone 3)i dont want to pay the money i know it would cost to strip and dye my hair. so i am basically stuck being jealous of this talentless twit because she has the hair ive always wanted.






i hope the plans for tomorrow night go through. we havent had a decent gno in forever & im really in the mood to get drunk and be stupid. although i think if the crazy fun night im looking forward to doesnt work out, maybe we can have a classy evening with wine and champagne, make our summer plans, and discuss politics & boys & all the little things that matter to us right now.

stfu

the motherfuckin' writers strike is over!

all i know is my people better have gotten what they asked for. they showed everyone who really drives hollywood & i hope they get what they deserve. plus, i cant wait for my shows to come back! ugly betty & desperate housewives please!

ps. i get this news from ontd. the best celeb gossip place arrroooound.

leave the bourbon on the shelf

mardi gras was rather tame this year both personally and work-wise.
i didnt really have any drunken nights, seeing as i worked 6am-2pm for the weekend and my only day off was monday. i still had fun though. we went to most every parade and rosey & lauren rode so we got lots of cool things that i still have no idea what to do with. im not looking forward to the nba weekend because everyone is saying is basically gonna be hell and i know theyre going to make me work all the days bc i always get stuck working on days id really rather not, but whatever, i suppose everyone feels likes that.

in the past few days i keep hearing about everyone wanting to take a cruise & to be quite honest, i really hope it happens. ive been wanting to take a cruise for a long time and we've been doing the same summer vacation together for years now, so a change will be nice. i know as long as we're all together it will be a guaranteed good time. so im looking forward to that and hoping that it all works out and that everyone is able to go.

i was telling lele today about this goofy little story thing i have going in my head & she said that it sounds like it could really develop into something more so i think im going to try to organize it all into a short story sometime soon. i always say stuff like that and i work for a little while then i just forget or lose focus. thats something im trying to work on though.

omg. how could i forget to mention....OBAMA is coming here tomorrow. hes giving a speech at tulane in the morning, so if im not a walking zombie by the time i get off tomorrow, im really going to try to go. i know they say you should never discuss politics and things like that, but im just so excited. i really love everything this guy stands for and is promising and id just really like to see him in action for myself instead of watching every cnn ballot bowl or debate. ideally, i think he and hilary should be a single ticket no matter who wins the actual nomination. they both have really good ideas and plans (even if i do lean a little more towards obama's side of things) and im just really excited about this election. i really feel like this could be a great time for change in the country and in things in general.

oh, i bought across the universe today. im so excited. i love that movie, way more than i should. i also picked up the killers new cd last week & let me just tell you... it is bangin'. its probably my favorite so far, because its so upbeat and fun and dance-y & they have the most wonderful cover of "romeo & juliet" on it. i love that song way too much, i know, but its so pretty i cant help it. its just flawless to me, and i think they did really good job or redoing the song but without losing all the magic and sincerity that makes it so great.


omgomg. aaaaand they announced the line up for bonnaroo this year and i want to go so bad. fuck coachella. tenessee is a hell of a lot closer and way less expensive than l.a. im hoping i can save up the money for this aaand the cruise, but honestly, theyre less than a month apart so who knows. it is a nice idea though. i do wish i had more friends who were into the kind of music i like though, as open minded as my lovely people are, they just wouldnt spend $500 on a music festival for a band they kinda recognize, ya know? eh whatev... a girl a can dream. i know i'll always have lele in my back pocket.


shiiiit man. i love the killers. for reals. <3
