Get a life people

So when I was wandering through the wonderful world of facebook I stumbled across a link for "fanfic" (fan fiction).  It took me back to the days of middle/high school when all the dorky kids would write fanfic about their favorite book, show, movie, or even celebrity (which is totally creepy!).  It just me wonder how much time people really spend devoted to caring on a story, or in some cases creating one.  I guess I get it, I mean I know how I sometimes I feel a lil unsatisfied by the end of a story, like maybe theres more to it, but I'm not going to sit down and write "chapters" about my thoughts.  Allow me to give you some examples; the finale of the oc- Does Kirsten become a stay at home mom? Do Ryan and Taylor get married? and so on.  The Lyndsay Lohan Parent Trap- So they get married, but where are they going to live? Enchanted- It's happily ever after but does that mean that they get married the next day? or does she just move in with them?  are they...."kissing" ;)?  So you catch my drift.  The reality is that I may have to live with those questions because I'm not going to take the time to write a story...or they make a sequel and we all pray that it doesn't suck.  I think the only finite stories are the ones that end with someone  dying.  Could you image in if Jack lived in the Titanic?  there would be "fanfic" up the ying yang... actually, I think some people did write some for that, though I'm not sure how the stories held together.  But who knows, maybe if I procrastinated even more and wrote a few drafts I could write some awesome fanfic too!

NBC, SNL... you make me so, so, so....ANGRY! hah! I'm angry.

If there is any show in world that should just put all of its material on youtube its SNL!  SNL is one of those shows that maybe you forgot about or didn't stay up for and then the next day someone tells you about a funny skit and you're bummed.  Than you get excited and they try to find the bit, but by the time they've search the entire world wide web, the moment has pasted and you're back at your desk working. 

I was online and I saw something about a past show (3/8) which Amy Adams hosted and it said there were some really funny/cute skits in it.  So like any normal person with Internet I went straight to youtube and typed in snl, Amy Adams. nothing except commercials came up.  so then I typed in snl, 2008.  Now I got a clip from the show ellen page hosted, and it wasn't even funny!  So plan B, I went on NBC.com.  They should have it b/c they have episode replay. searching, searching, searching... no episode replay.  pictures and recaps but not video.  (keep in mind I'm also doing this to waste time :)) So finally I get on yahoo and I type in amy adams, snl.  and I get some of the clips.  and they were funny.  the monologue included a Broadway song and B*!ch slapping, there was a ABC family spoof, and a Rodger Clemens play (which would only be funny if you kept up with baseball, steroids, and Clemens).  Anyway, the point is, I feel like NBC should not be such jerks about allowing skits up on youtube. Its not just new ones!  its will farrell, mike myers, etc...they re not there.  In fact, nbc should just give in and create a snl channel on youtube.  Its not like they are loosing money after its aired.  I don't want to wait for a freaking rerun!  

Anyway, I think that being a host is like a symbol of being the real deal.  I mean if you're good, you'll be on oprah (which is a dream), if you're cute you're in a magazine, if you're hot you're on the cover, but if people really like you than thats when you get to host snl.... if on top of all of that you are talented, you get a good monologue and lots of skit time.  I would love to do that.  But I think I would suck b/c I would just start laughing.  well enough ranting and raving, I guess I should move on to some hw. :)

Classic...

I saw this picture online and that it's just so glamorous!  Can you even pick out some of today's biggest actresses? top left; Emily Blunt (DWP), then Amy Adams in the green and Anne Hathaway in white.  then Ellen Page from Juno is in the center and America Fererra on the far right.  You just don't see celebrities like this anymore.  It's so cool, it makes me want to go classic glam.  Makes me think of my lil. I wish I would of known about this issue b/c I would of bought it.  Speaking of retro classic...

If you haven't done so yet, you need to take your friends, moms and/or grandmas to go see Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day.  It takes place in 1939 in London right before WWII and it tells the story of a modest governess, Miss Pettigrew, who ends up working as a ditsy actress', Delysia (Amy Adams), social secretary.  In one day Ms Pettigrew helps Delysia sort out her feelings for 3 different men in her life.  She also realizes that she is lonely and needs to deal with things in her life.  The costumes were awesome and as usual, Amy Adams is precious.  It was really interesting how they dealt with WWII looming in the shadows.  For most of the moving a lot of the characters were non-chalet about it all, but after an air-raid drill scared Delysia she asked Ms Pettigrew, "We're going to war aren't we :'(?"  Anyways, you should see it b/c its precious...

VICTORIOUS!

I am victorious!  I have only had 2 radio request go through in my whole life and the first one was saved and used the next night b/c they played my call-in and then the music.  That was back in middle school and the song was "pretty fly for a white guy".  So since I hadn't heard it yet I called 933 and requested 4 minutes and they said they would put it on their list.... 60 minutes later the DJ says, "alright, lets start spring break off right" and then.....It came on!  seriously, how many years have I been calling radio stations.  I guess I'll have to wait another 8 years to get a song on the radio. :).......VICTORY IS MINE!!!

*light bulb*

So as of this moment you can hear the finished version of the Madonna/jt/timba song, 4 minutes , on youtube, and as I was listening to it I was saying to myself, "self.  JT is in like 4 of her songs for this album and what usually happens when an artist collaborates on multiple songs with another artist?.... THEY TOUR TOGETHER!!!!"  :0!  O-M-G.  so if that happens I will go. I don't even care if its $200 for nose-bleeders and in LA.  I'll pay the money and as of right now I want to get of people thinking about going if that happens b/c my sister will either be preggers or have a new born so she can't go and I think it would take a lot of work to get my mom to go.  I mean that's like 2 big headliners in one concert... what a deal, even if it is $200.  God knows there would be a lot of gay dudes.  they would be there to stare at Justin (you should have seen the concert) and also be there to worship their queen.  anyway, go listen to song and dance around b/c its Thursday (actually Friday for some of us)... get into the grove and express yourself!

So Cloe...

So I baught it and we watched it... well some did, but let me just reiterate how much I love Enchanted.  Towards the end there is a scene at a ball, and call me cheesy (CHEESY!), but ballroom dancing is so incredibly romantic.  Especially the waltz. It's a very formal dance, but there's this special feeling that comes with it that makes it so beautiful.  You can see what I mean in this scene because when the song starts Robert and Giselle are doing the basic steps and then they just break out and spin and end up close to the point where they were going to kiss.....  If you haven't seen the movie, but want to see what I mean go on youtube and search for "enchanted, so close", or just come over anytime this week b/c it will be on 24/7

Be prepared to be Enchanted.

I get out of class at 1:45 and I'm hoping to be to target by 2:15 to buy Enchanted.  If you haven't seen it... you need to.  I think I could watch it more than once this week and be fine with that.

MUSICAL FUSION

 

So it is official, the Queen of Pop, Crown Prince (future King) of Pop, and the Grand Vizier of Pop have all come together.  I would call Justin Timberlake the King, but Michel Jackson is still alive...though crazy.  A grand vizier is like really powerful advisor to the head of state (ottoman history).  The song is called "4 minutes to save the world" and while I'm totally biased x3, I like it.  It is what could get her back on channel 933, b/c while she has not gone away, US pop radio has not been bumping her jams.  and we all know Timbaland is a musical wizard.  If we are talking in terms of royalty I would compare madonna to Queen Elizabeth I b/c she was a badass, sassy, ballbuster for her time.  Anyway, the count down begins 'til april 29...46 days! (but keep your eyes/ears open cuz the single comes out in a few weeks)

Laws to live by...

So there can be sooooo many rules when you live in a house, I think that by simplifying them would make them more meaningful.

Housekeeping requirements would be:

- do your dishes

- don't leave all your crap in the common rooms

- and most importantly.... REMOVE YOUR HAIR BALLS FROM THE SHOWER! I just want to gag when I go to get in the shower and see those things chilling in the tub.

Now more importantly than housekeeping there are things that must be done to create a good house dynamic

- Respect each other.  It doesn't matter how old you are, we are all adults and should treat/be treated like adults. (IE- no high horses allowed)

- Be courteous to each other.  people might be going to bed early, studying, or devoing and that means we shouldn't be running and screaming through the entire house

- Give lots of hugs.  In my opinion hugging can only brighten a person's day.

- Laugh and loosen up.  I personally think that laughter is the best medicine... and drinking orange juice.  Life is too ridiculous to get all out of whack over every little thing that doesn;t go your way.  I know there are days when crying is all we can do, but give me a few minutes and I'll find something to make you smile/laugh.

*These are not responses to current housing policies, it's just how think about what the atmosphere in a house, where large or small, should be.

red party cups

In another lifetime this a particular crib would be littered with those iconic college cups.  But we are not that type of group, so even if we had stacks of red party-cups they would be filled with non-alcoholic beverages and neatly disposed of in the trash can at the end of the day.  Thats all I can say as of right now.  I know God will provide.

please pray

Please pray for me this coming week.  Do I stay comfortable (actually get more comfortable), or do I need a change of scenery?  Pray that my flesh is removed from this big and emotional decision (its actually mostly emotional b/c Im hormonal).  I know of girls that changed their scenery and subsequently gained more love and respect for it all, but I also know girls who changed their scenery and disappeared.  I don't want to be that second girl.  So Pleaseeeeeee Pray.

From "Eastlake" to "The Lakes"

My sister is constantly complains about being too far away from her family so whenever she gets a chance she points out new housing developements in the area.  Well she finally found one that makes my mom drool like she did over our current residence.  These houses are less than a mile away from my sisters house and they are pretty darn bomb. To put it simply the slogan is, "The Lakes, Above Rancho Sante Fe"....RANCHO SANTA Fing FE!!!  the home home sd newpsies. The one my mom likes is 5400 sq ft (1200 more than mine), 3 or 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bath.  It's got a 4 car garage, but its around to the side of the house so you can't see it.  The back yards are huge and you could do the craziest things back there.  There are also some interior courtyards, which are really cool.  Oh and it has a "prep kitchen" for entertaining and catering needs..... thats a bug assumption that we will have catered events. It's actually kind of funny because I think that our kitchen and great room are bigger than this one.  I told my mom that if we moved up there (which wouldnt happen for awhile) I would have to get a new car b/c my lil hooptie sentra just won't do.  I just don't know how I feel about leaving the 619.... I mean do they have REAL mexican food up there.  Because a girl from chula viiiiista can't live w/o some good greasy mexican food.  I think I'd feel like a monkey that had lived with the fishes all her life, suddenly thrown into a community of monkeys and have to train herself to be a monkey and not a fish.  I need some BC plates to feel at home!!!  My mom said she could easily move and I know my dad wants to b/c he thinks the drug wars are creeping to close to our hood.  Just to be crazy I would buy a pair of chonklas, baggy sweatpants, and wifebeats....gotta bring a lil southbay culture to north county. Now this may happen in the future, but I probably will be out of the house by then (my parents hope I will), because the market is down and my mom is going to have to get an even fattier contract than she did last time.

Dying to get on the field

Honestly I don't know what has gotten into me.  I guess it's the talk of spring training and the beginning of softball leagues, but I really want to get out there and play some ball.  I know it's super cheesy but I can't wait to play in the church league with my dad and aunts.  we are actually a pretty good team.  I think we lost twice last year.  I think I'm going to go get some knee pads for this year b/c I want to get a little dirtier.  I really wish that I could put together a co-ed team to play in the ARC league made up of girls from adx and guys from ago.  Whenever I'm over in the ps4/stormhall area of campus I can hear the clang of bats and the chatter of players. It makes me very nostalgic.  I ended up on the Bonita Valley website and they have pictures of t-ball and roockie games and they were so cute I almost started to cry.  Its almost as if they are too big for all their equipment.  I really hope we play in the SigEp phil next semester and maybe we wil get lucky and get a few more ballers.  We were pretty good, but we had one horrible inning in each game.  We also got stuck with doofer coaches who had to barrow gloves from their roommates and played a combined 2 seasons.  It would be cool if we could set it up that my dad come out once and run a short practice.  I think 40 years of playing/coaching ball makes him more qualified to get us ready.  Anywho.... I can't wait to get on the field again and walk off dirty and sweaty.

No passport needed

So I have to admit that I totally love the JAs.  They are totally united and tight-knit, but they are so easy to hang out with.  I know Im a senior and almost all of them are freshmen, but its fun to change it up and hang out with the young girls.  I feel like this is very different then some other classes that are super cliquey and selective of who they hang out.  I'm happy that I have 1 more year with these girls cause they are so rad for being so young.
