Another weekend...another party

My pledge sis and others never fail to tell me I live the life of a character out of the OC, and I just roll my eyes, but I've started to feel like I am going/having as many parties as they did on the show. First it was the black tie CF gala. Two weeks later it was the Southbay Community Services event at the roof top club of the Ivy hotel. and finally two weeks later it is my dad's retirement party at my house..."Not your typical backyard bbq." So far there have been 55 people RSVP for Saturday and my mom is taking Friday off to set up. We hired a bartender and are having it catered by a Hawaiian food restaurant. I guess the one similarity b/t fact and fiction is that now that we are all adults we go to these events together, which in turn means that I have to get a new outfit b/c I can't wear the same dress from last year (please slap me. I can't believe I said that). The truth is however, after 6 weeks of these things I'm kind of glad my weekends are going to calm down. Life in the OC must have been really hard!!!


*please read into the heavy sarcasm

I wish that plans would work just once.

Being a girl sucks 5 days of each month.

If i had a punching bag... *punch* i try but always seem to fall short

Wifi is down. Hip is bruised. Lets all go get crazy tonight!

My 5 minute rant...

I'm not sure if you saw the VMAs, but I watched for the first time in like three years and I have never been so shocked as I was by what Kanye did to Taylor Swift tonight. He truly fulfilled the typical rapper stereotype by being arrogant, rude, disrespectful, and out of line when he bombarded the stage and stole the mic from Taylor. I know he has said he is the "best rapper ever", but Taylor Swift has more overall talent, tact and grace in her pinkie than he does in his entire body. She's 19 and writers her own songs and plays guitar and piano. What does Kanye do? Rhyme words into an audio phone? wow. I used to tolerate is cockiness b/c I liked some of his songs, but that ended tonight. I give total props to Beyonce for having such class and allowing Taylor to come back onto the stage and give her acceptance speech when Beyonce won her award. I really wish I could have seen Kanye's face, but luckily he had been kicked out. He has released an "apology", but it was so half-ass he might well have not. I'm sure this incident will create quite the raucous for 3 days, and I too will get over, but I wanted to voice my disgust.

If you didn't see what happened here are the clips and a link to his "apology"

Ultimately, today was great b/c my very best pledge sis is in town and in my house for the next week!!!

Days long gone...

High school feels like it was so long ago and so much has happened, but sometimes I'm bombarded by what I don't have anymore. When I get bored in the grocery store I usually flip through the soap mags b/c I only watch one show so many times it's not worth buying it. In each magazine they always bold the names of the actors/characters so you can scan the things you want to. Well there is one actress on GH who's name is "Megan Ward". Since she's on GH and I see it all the time I don't usually stop and think about her name, but sometimes "Ward" brings me back to HS. My best friend's name was Rachel Ward and for 13 years, K-12, she was the only Ward I knew of. If I was an only child Rachel would be the closest thing to a sister for me. We were so different, but there was never a time when we really at odds. Then college crept up and we both kind of went our separate ways. I don't regret anything and I still feel immensely blessed by the life long friends I have made these past 5 years, but she was still my best friend and there are still times when I see "Ward" and I realize how much I miss her.
