Newly-single Jessica Simpson promptly visited the tanning bed in LA after her Thanksgiving retreat to Texas.
All I have to say is Newlyweds will never be the same. MTV should follow them around on their new search for love. Maybe Jessica can date Ryan Cabrera - I know that's somewhat gross as her sister dated him, but they are somewhat of a sick family. And Nick could date Jessica's best friend/personal assistant CaCee Cobb. After all, he seemed to like ditzy girls from Texas.
Room smells of paint and dirty men who painted it. Bathroom is even worse. TV is green & blue where painters have dropped it and busted the picture tube. Want to punch something but feel that smelly room and crappy tv are likely better than the local jail.
Moving on Friday. Thinking of buying air mattress to sleep on for 1 night until my bed is delivered on Saturday. Also thinking of sleeping in car. BMW leather is comfy and even heated.
Miss my diploma. And him.
The ups and downs of the holidays are extreme, especially when you're away from family and childhood friends. And especially when you work with a snatch face.
May the drama of Wisteria Lane be enough to entertain me tonight and put me to sleep at the same time. Goodnight, all.
I feel obligated to blog, especially since I have witnessed or participated in many blog-worthy events as of late.
First all, the work situation is likely to explode this week, and I am very excited. By excited I mean nervous. Email me for details, they are oh so juicy.
Second, Mister Days in Arlington = not cool. I believe this past Friday night was "MTV Reality Show Rejects Night," as there were many shady, trying-to-look-super-cool folks there. A few highlights from the night include:
-Creepy guy trying to 'grind' on Rita. She acknowledges him, realizes there is nowhere else for her to go to escape, and says:
"Hi.
Okay.
Peace out!"
-A guy named Brendan recognizes our friend Alina from P4 (it's the floor of the parking garage at work where everyone goes to smoke). But Brendan refuses to tell us his last name and says if we can figure it out, he'll take us to lunch. Later in the night, I attempt to get the last name from his friend. Turns out the friend is a douche and in actuality, the name 'Brendan' may be a lie. So whoever he is - 'Brendan' and his friend find us on the dance floor and they're laughing and saying, "Good luck finding out my last name" to which I respond:
"That's okay, you're probably not worth knowing anyway."
'Brendan', being an immature 23-years-of-age fights back with, "Ahh sweet, that's what I've been working for my whole life!"
To his smart ass comment, I say, "Mission accomplished!" and swiftly turn my back.
-Arriving back at Alina and Robin's apartment, we see a lack of (or no) empty parking spots. There are some people walking towards their car, so Rita rolls the window down, and yells to the tall, cubby, fangster (fake gangster) in the group wearing an Adidas warm-up jacket:
"Hey Track Suit.. Track Suit... are you leaving?"
'Track Suit' did not like this! He yelled back, "What'd you call me?" and proceeded to stand in front of Mariel's car staring into the headlights... as we laughed about his new nickname, Robin warned us to be quiet since he might have a gun. That makes me a little nervous as we are moving there in 2 weeks. I was told it was a safe area!
And in final news... I drove home to my parents this weekend to do laundry and figure out what I need for my new apartment. Realized I don't have as much stuff as I thought but this is a good excuse to buy things.
Also realized I cry way too much. My mother thinks this will change with maturity. She says I am tender-hearted and when she gets to the point of crying, watch out because she is mad and she'll rip your head off. (Just an FYI)..
So here's to praying I don't cry at work tomorrow - refer to Snatch Face blog - this person is evil.
Even Season 2 of Laguna Beach. But I'll be fine.. On Wednesday, I will receive the book I just ordered from Amazon entitled something like "Inside the Bubble," sure to include pics of these rich kids having fun and looking perfect. It was $10, what can I say? :)
I must go now, to prepare for the finale of my favorite show. Half-an-hour and commercial free! That never happens! Some predictions for this episode:
1. Jessica whines 2. Jason still pines for LC 3. LC wears big sunglasses and packs her entire wardrobe before moving to LA 4. Stephen forces emotional moments with both Kristen and LC 5. Talan continues to be a pimp 6. Kristen drives off in her new BMW
And at the end, a nice montage of the season. Oh, Laguna Beach editors, how I love thee..
When: Friday, November 11th, around 11:30 p.m. Where: Clarendon Ballroom in Arlington, Va. How: My crazy friend, Alina, began singing to a stranger... who ended up being Ian (see picture). He finished in 3rd place on Survivor Season 10: Palau.
Alina learned that Ian lost "40 pounds on the show and has gained 20 back." He's still skinny and I thought about that today as I ate lunch from Popeyes. But I can imagine being 6'8'' makes it difficult to be anything but thin.
Google tells me Ian was Homecoming King and student body president in college...a very ambitious boy.
Also turns out Ian is younger than me and apparently much richer. I asked him if he got "a sh*tload of money when he finished the show." He simply and confidently replied, "Yes."
This was after he told me he had a house "in LA and .. um..Pennsylvania."
He seemed hesitant about sharing the latter, as if he realized how random it sounded. But when I told him my bf lives in State College, he shared with me that he went to Penn State and asked what the bf's name was.
This made me nervous - insert internal dialogue influenced by tang & tonics: "Why does he want to know Justin's name? Does he think he knows him? Or is he looking to network in the non-profit television market?" I just told Ian where Justin works and the music was so loud that I'm still wondering if he heard me.
Anyone who knows me well knows that I am somewhat obsessed with meeting famous people. I don't seek them out - but when I meet them, I add them to my "list." That's another post.
I think Ian is the first "famous" person I have met since living here. Is that safe to say? Does being on reality tv make you famous?
Maybe not - but it does get you a "sh*tload of money."
So I realize the Real World: Austin is not the best show in the world. But for some reason, I feel compelled to watch it.
Call me dedicated.
Tonight's episode found me asking myself, "Oh God, am I like Nehemiah?" He was the ultimate procrastinator. Like.. getting really drunk, being thrown in jail and therefore, failing to complete the editing assignment that lay before him (and his six roommates).
Similar to Nehemiah, I went to jail last night... No wait. I didn't. BUT today was terribly unproductive for me. My computer was down for the count all day long! Outlook would not open to save my life... not until 6:41 p.m.
That's right. All day, no email.
Do you know what my job consists of? Staring at my email and then completing whatever b*tch task I get. So to not have any access to those b*tch tasks, and for people to care less and still want their requests done NOW ... was very painful.
So now I am going to pop too many Advils in hopes that I oversleep tomorrow to make it a truly inefficient and stoopid week. I hate being me today.
I'm here in State College and driving today, I saw streets lined with yellow trees.. some with red and orange, and it's totally bizarre. I feel like I should take a picture... like I'm living in a postcard that you'd send your friends who live in a land with no trees - to brag to them, "Ha ha.. see how beautiful it is here!" I did bring my digi so tomorrow I'll get one of the trees and post.
Must go now - loud noise outside and it's kind of freaking me out. Sounds like the rapture.. if the rapture was a lawnmower trying to suck up leaves and failing miserably.
And as in limited, I'm thinking, negative dollars. I want to walk into and store where they give me furniture, just because I'm me. And they also throw in some money for the heck of it.
I'm watching a show on the Style network, amazing how many channels I get... but this designer is remaking a couple's room into a LeAnn Rimes-ish room. I'm guessing LeAnn has good taste? I've seen her house on an episode of Cribs and the only thing I remember is the Buddha statue that her and the hubby frequently rub... Yeah.
So the room is coming together but they spent $3000 on it. To me, that's a substantial chunk of money. If I had $3000, I wouldn't spend it on furniture. Maybe because I don't have a house?
But I'd rather go on a swanky vacation or just quit my job. No, I realize three-grand is not that much. But if I had that laying around.... I'd probably just blow it on a purse. (Louis needs a friend!)
So with that said, if anyone has ideas for furniture, I will be buying some in the next month for my new apartment....and nothing LeAnn Rimes-ish, mkay?
