Happy December!!! 18 days until I am in Chicago!!! So many exclamation points!!!
Thanksgiving was splendid. Ate, drank, watched the parade, dog show and Cowboys game.
I’m not much of a football girl, but the Cowboys’ games are entertaining with Legal Eagle and always bring up good conversations.
Football announcer: …especially with this being such a tough time for them (Seattle’s team).
Me: Tough time? What happened?
LE: They suck.
Me: Oh, so like no one died? It’s only a tough time if someone is dying or dead.
LE: Yeah, or if like your whole team gets…
Me: …the flu?
LE: (makes a face that lets me know this is not acceptable).
Me: …herpes?
LE: Hmm…yeah.
But even better than this rivoting conversation was one that we had a bit ago when we were watching the AMAs and Kayne West was talking.
He was accepting an award and then said how he wants to be like The Beatles and Elvis, blah blah.
LE: Oh my god. He can’t even say that. He’s so stupid!
Me: Yeah, and it’s not even comparable because he’s a rapper and they weren’t.
LE: Oh, oh! And most of the old rockers played instruments. What’s he play….the sunglasses?
I just about died when LE said this and I’ve been laughing ever since. He’s always wearing those stupid sunglasses. I hate them so.
And LE and I watched a show that I got from one of my jobs, some Australian show, but in an episode the character says something about being racist towards redheads. It’s beyond funny, considering LE’s explanation of redheads not too long ago.
And finally, Barbar has a new name. It’s Super Tramp. Long story, LE said Barbar was like Tramp in Lady and the Tramp, so now we call him Super Tramp. He quite likes it and has all this attitude now. I don’t know what I am going to do with him…absolute trouble!

Day 59 - Not Quite What I Like About You
A few days ago, Legal Eagle and I went to apply for jobs at the mall.
LE: We’re like Kath & Kim, not What I Like About You.
So, instead of being all WILAY, I’m now like Kath & Kim. And while the show is hilarious, it’s not one that I would model my life after.
Also, a while ago, LE and I saw these two old women at the grocery store and they were stylin’ and all over the place.
We had the same thought: That’s going to be us many years from now.
^ Best image I could find to represent them.
Thanksgiving (or Shrimpsgiving as I learned at Whole Foods) is tomorrow! I even have a mini assorted cheesecake that I can’t wait to eat!
A few days ago, my cat jumped up really high behind me and kind of punched/swatted me in the back of the head. I am not short.
And then today while I was sitting and on the phone with my mom talking about dogs, he grabbed me around the waist and was maybe trying to wrestle or something.
I have to take the crummy bus to the mall to do an interview. While I LOVE the mall as much as Kath & Kim, I am not at my most excited.
So to get at my most excited, I am transplanting my brain to those days when I was in school. I will think of this interview as my last class before Turkey Break and once it is done, I get to have a wonderful little holiday!
So close!!!!

Day 58 - Things To Get Used To...
Yesterday Legal Eagle and I were watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta. It was the finale and they were showing previews of the reunion show to come next week throughout the episode. And then came the end of this episode.
Me: (sitting patiently as the episode ends). What?! No previews?
LE: They already showed them.
Me: Yeah, but I thought that they would show some more, like a different preview with different clips.
LE: Don’t be a preview hog.
^ Great Show!
LE and I decided right then and there that whomever I date seriously in the future will have to put up with a few things about me and TV.
1. My love for previews. It’s okay to talk through an episode (if I’m talking), but so very not okay to talk through previews. I’m pretty sure I’ve “shh’ed” LE a few times.
Although when I told LE that it’s okay to talk through episodes she said:
“Really? I doubt you’d let anyone talk through an episode of Rock of Love.”
2. My love for reunion shows. As if the show itself isn’t good enough, reunion shows are like icing on cake.
LE confirmed: “Your boyfriend will just have to understand why you have to come over to my place to watch reunion shows.”
3. Just because I’ve seen the episode twice, doesn’t mean I can’t or shouldn’t watch it a third time. I might have missed something or someone might have rudely talked through it.
4. Just because I say, “Oh god, I’m never going to watch that reality show. I have zero interest in it,” does not mean I can’t watch it.
Example: I Want to Work for Diddy. Said I had no interest in it, but I watched it to the bitter end. Although on the final episode I thought for a second that they were stretching it out to another week and I reacted with:
“Oh god no! I can’t watch this next week too!”
Some things you just have to watch and stick with them. Oh and did I mention that I have watched Real Chance of Love….a spin-off of I Love NY…which is a spin-off of Flavor of Love.
5. Spin-offs should be appreciated. It brings back the best cast members. Who doesn’t love that??
I know that this can be asking a lot, but not really. I mean, it’s all about TV, so who doesn’t love that?!
Now, if we were to go into the things about my cat that any future boyfriend would have to put up with, the list is a bit longer:
1. When my cat is lovey and purring, he love bites.
2. He owns everywhere and I have no control over him.
3. He likes to get under the blankets.
4. He likes to wake you with his wet nose.
5. He likes to sleep on my side.
6. He’s an awesome jumper (bad for some reasons obviously).
7. He throws up every now and then.
8. He’s possessive and growls if you are a “threat.”
9. Did I mention I have really zero control over him…he’s actually in charge of me.
10. Saturday mornings are Barbar wildcat mornings…he runs as fast as possible from room to room…usually running across your face.
11. He likes to hang out in cabinets.
12. He also likes to drop stuff in drinks and toasters.
13. He eats plastic bags and cardboard and probably some other stuff that I don’t know about.
14. You have to play fetch with him whenever he wants to (even if that means fetch at 3 a.m.).
15. He steals : toys, feathers, berets, sweaters, Q-tips, etc.
Hmmm…maybe I should just wait a very long time until I introduce anyone to my cat.
Me: (sitting patiently as the episode ends). What?! No previews?
LE: They already showed them.
Me: Yeah, but I thought that they would show some more, like a different preview with different clips.
LE: Don’t be a preview hog.

Day 57 - Oh How The Plot Thickens...
Busy Weekend!
First, Legal Eagle and I went to Long Beach to protest the same-sex marriage ban. It was super fun and cool and made me feel really good, which is always nice.
^ Me protesting.
^ LE protesting. Is this LE’s first appearance on here? So much for anonymity…
^ The Protest
Now, Sunday was also a busy day. I had a writer’s meeting for LA2DAY. It went super well and I’m looking forward to doing more with them. Also, beforehand I had lunch with The Doc. He’s baaaaack…..
Cutting to the chase, he’s living in a house with a roommate and I met him there. Little did I know, his dad was there helping his gardener decide something about sprinklers. Yes, his dad. The convo went something like this.
Me: Hi.
Doc: Hey, how are you?
Me: Good, you?
Doc: Good, I actually just got back from work a bit ago. (He was in scrubs). I just need to change and take care of somethings and then we can grab lunch. My dad is in the back with my gardener, so I just need to talk to him really quickly.
Me: (in head) Scrubs? Interesting look. Wait…did he just say dad? Dad? Dad…his dad? Maybe he said Dan. His Dan? That can’t be right. Dad? Should I run away? Am I going to have to meet him? I should’ve ironed my shirt. At least I have my cute sailor jeans on. Dad? What does one say to a dad? How is he going to introduce me? How do I want to be introduced? Dad…seriously? How can you tell if you are going to pass out? Ok, a dad…I can handle this. Wait, he’s still talking, I should be listening.
So, I met the dad. And was introduced, again, as “friend.” Which is cool, I mean, haven’t seen him in a while, so I’ll have to figure all that out.
But lunch was good. His place is nice and he has a tangerine tree and some other stuff, but for some reason the minute I heard tangerine tree I got completely stuck on it and don’t remember what he said the other stuff was.
Now I’m in the mood for a list! A pro-con, good-bad sort of thing, now that I’m discovering more about The (reappearing) Doc.
Pro - Has a garden and gardener. Seems like it should be a “pro.”
Pro - Tangerines are one fruit I like.
Con - Has a gardener. I would like it better if he did all the work. Just seems better.
Pro - Has really good, modern-style artwork.
Con - None of it is up. Also, has a football helmet lamp. (Feel free to barf).
Pro - Dresses nicely. Has organized closet (yes, I snooped like a madwoman).
Con -(I have not confirmed if these belong to him or his roommate, although 99% sure it’s him) Crocs!There were crocs in the entryway. Crocs are my most hated shoes ever, worse than Uggs. They can’t be that comfortable and even if they are, they are heinous! It’s not like they also give you money, then I would consider wearing them.
Pro - Asked me how LE was. It’s a nice thing.
Con - Also asked me what I see myself doing in a year. A year? Whoa…hopefully not homeless?
Pro - Has copy of Men’s Vogue. Good I think, although are they shutting down? But, not a bad choice of magazine.
Con - Couldn’t remember that it was In Style that I freelance for. Asked if it was People (as if) and also couldn’t remember that I grew up in Chicago, not Iowa. Either he has a bad memory or he isn’t paying attention to what I say. It felt a little inconsiderate.
Pro - Made me laugh.
Con - Told me about a girl he dated in high school who now has a column for Vogue. My reply : Oh, that’s nice. (probably rolled eyes). And no, I did not get her name because I know better and knew that I would have come home and Googled her and read every stupid column she’s written.
Pro - Disliked the movie W. as well.
Con - I think he still expects me to be into watching sports (ie. Cubs, Bears, etc.) Um…well I don’t expect you to be into watching Top Model and going to fashion shows and reading Glamour.
Pro - Paid for lunch. Always nice.
Con - Weird money convo:
Doc: So how does freelancing work? Do they just call you and ask you to write certain things?
Me: Some of it works that way, but most of it is pitching ideas and then getting them accepted.
Doc: Oh, so you don’t really know if they’ll be getting picked?
Me: That’s the fun of it.
Doc: That’s rough, but you’re like okay money-wise or what?
Me: (long pause) Yeah, I’m okay.
Pro - Only called me Sweetie once when I was leaving. Although, then of course my thought is, “What? I lost my Sweetie status?”
Pro - Told me I looked cute.
Con - Told me specifically, “God, you look so cute, dude.” Yes, dude. And not like on Kath & Kim when Kim’s husband calls her dude all the time.
Con - Was using his phone a lot, like texting maybe? Don’t think he ever has been on it this much or at all, but he was this time and that’s just rude.
Pro - Doesn’t have anything scary in his medicine cabinet (yeah, I really snooped).
Con - Oh! I forgot! Monogrammed towels. Yes, there were monogrammed towels, hopefully a gift from his mom. I was going to ask about them (probably make fun of them), but since we haven’t seen each other for a bit, I decided to go easy. But what makes them really special is that they are his initials and then a I (like “the first” LE and I decided). So does this mean I know what he will be naming his son???
Pro - Kind of showed me that doesn't have it all together.
Con - Appears to have it all together and his life all planned out - remember monogrammed towels?
Pro - Close with his family and has a whole lot of pictures up, making snooping much easier.
Con - Has a whole lot of pictures up making the place feel old, he said he did it because it feels homier.
That was fun. I’m sure there is more to come. Now I really must get some work done.

Day 56 - Not My Size
Ah, the reason Bride Brain called. (And no, she never returned the message I left, but did email me and Legal Eagle).
Well, it was about our pretty, pretty bridesmaid dresses. She was calling to see if I wanted extra length. Yes, I did, we’ve had this conversation. But no, I don’t want to pay $30 dollars for it.
We’ve also found out that she bought dresses that are too big. She’s intended for them to be too big. Mine is too big by 2 sizes and LE’s is too big by 4 sizes. Yes, 4 sizes.
^ This is what I suspect we will look like. Fab!
We’re both pretty insulted and pissed about this whole thing. I mean, had she bought my size, I might not need to spend money on alterations. That would be nice.
Oh and I now know what a heart attack feels like as I had one when she told me the total price of the ugly dress, with shipping, tax and extra length of course.
And then I was reminded that this dress has a corset back! There is a ton going on in front and we get a corset back! Ew.
But now I will try to find some good in this wedding. Here it is:
- There is a mini-bride. I know, right?! Greatest thing ever.
- Bride Brain’s brother will probably sing. Awkward. Also, this reminds me of at our pre-grad dinner when all the families got together and we all introduced ourselves and the brother said he sang or something and my dad says, “Sing us something,” (probably tipsy), but the brother didn’t because he was shy or something (isn’t very good perhaps?). But it was the greatest moment ever and in my head I was laughing so hard.
- It will be a religious ceremony. Why is this great? Well, put LE and me in a religious setting and we can’t hold it together.
- Flasks. We will take our flasks all classy style.
- Being the black sheep. I think this will be fun. I will just have to be careful about rolling my eyes at the other bridesmaids.
This is really hard to come up with stuff, so I’m going to stop it now. But maybe I can muster together a long enough list to keep me entertained at this wedding. LE and I already have some games planned, like who can go longer without talking. I’m pretty sure I’ll win because LE feels compelled to fill in awkward silences.
I don’t.

Day 55 cont. - More Randomness!
Bride Brain called my phone this morning!
She did not leave a message, so LE and I will be calling back this afternoon.
So now I am hurridly making up details on my fake boyfriend and writing them down.
This is great…ugh.
Update on everything to come!

Day 55 - Random, Random, Random
Stupid psychic I went to see back in August has been right about a few things except the things I want her to be right about.
Case in point: The Doc got in touch with me. Yes, out-of-the-blue, I hear from him and am not sure what I will be doing with this. Half rolling my eyes, half kind of curious and intrigued.
But just like the psychic said, I heard from him again.
^Ahhh…my psychic!
Well, I’m about ready for her to be right about the job situation. Oh and maybe she could take back the whole unlucky in love thing too.
Oh! Did I tell you all that Bride Brain got her engagement photos done? Yes she did! And in some of them they are wearing Bears’ jerseys. Yes they are!
So Legal Eagle and I contemplated what exactly you use engagement photos for. Here are our thoughts:
- Your save-the-date (which we have not gotten, so I am NOT saving the date).
- To put up around your house
- Collages
- Pictures to display at the reception
- Future Christmas gifts for all your friends
- Practice your mustache drawing (as well as devil horns and black teeth)
- To prove you are getting married
- Use as thank-you cards
- In case you get amnesia before the wedding, you will have proof of who you are marrying
That’s about it. Some seem like really good ideas, others just seem like a waste of money.
My desk creaks. I’m not sure why (actually I think I put a screw in incorrectly), but I really must fix it because it is driving me crazy!

Day 54 - Lacking Motivation
A conversation between Legal Eagle and me:
LE: I had a weird dream last night where I had all these kids.
Me: Ew.
LE: Yeah and they were all different races. Like one was a redhead and one was blonde…
Me: Um, a redhead is not a different race.
LE: It is to me.
Oh, some things that come out of her mouth are too priceless.
I have not been wanting to do anything at all lately. I’ve somehow managed to continue being productive, but I haven’t really been like, “Yeah, I’m so going to do stuff today!”
And then today, we have no hot water. So I am still in my pajamas, feeling like I do on days when I am sick. And even better, our management company won’t answer their phone. They told me 5 hours ago that they were taking care of it. Oh I have them on the phone now! Now they tell me the guy who is working on it just left briefly to get “a part” and it will be fixed soon. Yes, soon…like tomorrow?
Also, I hate Linksys (the wireless router we have). They made me throw our phone the other day. Ugh.
But in lovely news, Barbar was my lap cat for a while today. He just chilled on my lap while I worked. Then we played fetch on my bed.
Oh, that reminds me, we need to book them boarding over Xmas!

Day 53 - Little Weird Things
There is a guy outside my window (not directly, but on the landing nearby) who just carried a bike up the stairs and is now making noises typically made by cars. It’s hard to describe, but I hope he doesn’t pass out because I am not a good enough person to give him mouth-to-mouth.
Now I really am volunteering this Sunday. Should be interesting. But at least it is in Santa Monica, so maybe Legal Eagle and I can grab a bite or a drink up there afterward. Yes, I need there to be something in it for me in order to volunteer.
I killed mine and LE’s tree Barkley, but now I am bringing him back to life. Note: I have killed him once before this and brought him back to life, so here we go again.
LE and I made some amazing twice-baked stuffed potatoes yesterday. I could have lived in it.
I am going back to Chicago in officially less than two months. So weird. And so cold. But so pretty exciting.
I haven’t bought any new clothes in forever! (My forever may be a lot shorter than others, but that makes no difference). I haven’t even bought a cheapo Target dress.
I should really go wash a dish or two, but all I want to do is take a nap.
I see the stray cats less and less lately. It’s very sad and I’m not sure what to make of it. However, I see annoying Scurvy Cat everyday. He is here, outside our door, meowing without fail.
I love and hate the show Stylista and it’s on tonight! I soooo can’t wait! It drives me crazy!

Day 52 - Looking For The Good
There has been so much yucky-ness going on that I am desperately trying to look forward to something good or at least think of good things that are going on.
Well, Barbar has lost a little hair above his eye. Legal Eagle Googled this symptom and it says that it does happen to cats. It’s not like it looks diseased or anything. But something for me to keep an eye on.
LE and I also went to Long Beach this weekend to check things out and see where we might like to live. I am so ready to move there. There were some high school (?) aged kids there on a scavenger hunt and I was way way jealous! It looked pretty fun.
Well, the weather is nice.
I will be going home to Chicago for Xmas. It will be mighty cold and probably snowy and I have no idea what I’ll wear, but I think it will be kind of nice for me to be back in Chicago for a little bit. Who would’ve thought?
LE and I also carved a pumpkin this weekend.
^ It almost makes 80 degrees California feel like fall.
My mom then asked if this was Jack Nicholson. Love it!
So what else is good out here? Thanksgiving is soon, which means good food and cheesecake.
Oh, my life is so not WILAY right now. Maybe this is just a slow point and things will be on the up again. But I totally cannot even think about seeing where I am at in my WILAY progress right now because it would not be good.
So, here’s hoping!

Day 51 - Crimesville Part 2
Been away from a bit because I was dealing with still living in Crimesville.
Legal Eagle’s car was broken into and then there was this door ordeal, but everything is relatively settled now. Except that the apartment management company has not returned any of our calls.
But we are carrying on.
Nothing too exciting, but LE and I are going to drive around Long Beach to get a feel for different areas.
And we might volunteer on Sunday for Planned Parenthood. Yes, me, volunteering. Oh, my horoscope said I should do something unselfish…maybe this is it?
Well, lately our cats have been getting into so much trouble. Mostly they are finding ways to jump on and in everything in the apartment. Even Schatzi is doing it!
I need to find some good pictures to put up.
Oh, maybe I’ll start my food diary next week? Or in the middle of this week? I’ll start it on a day when I eat really healthy stuff, that way I feel awesome!

Day 50 - Oh Marky Mark!
I’m currently transcribing an interview with Mark Wahlberg and it is highly disappointing and disturbing.
While I wouldn’t consider myself a huge fan of his, I think he’s OK…until now.
He is super religious! (This is where my oldest sister says, “Yeah, you didn’t know that?”)
I did not. And this isn’t necessarily the problem I have with him. It’s fine for him to be and I guess I get it since he had all those issues when he was younger and whatnot. That’s how people reform, God…whatever.
But, in his interview he says that people who don’t believe in God are the ones that he’s most worried about and who need saving. Please don’t worry about me Marky Mark. I’m OK. (But feel free to give me a few bucks and maybe I’ll visit a church).
He also says that Jesus spent his time with prostitutes and tax collectors because they needed help. Maybe Jesus was just hanging with the cool kids.
Good luck explaining Boogie Nights to God, Marky Mark.
Also, he complains about being known as Marky Mark. It really makes me mad when celebrities deny where they came from.
When I was in NY, my family and I saw a taping of the Today Show with Will Smith and during a commercial break, he broke out into The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air song. It made me an instant Will Smith fan (and I didn’t even like him before that).
And Will Smith’s show was nothing to be proud of, remember those hats?
^ Not exactly cool.
So Marky Mark, you may want to forget, but we never will!
^ Ha.

Day 49 - Another Food Diary?
So NY Magazine has a food diary section where the have people (celebrities, musicians, chefs, artists, etc.) write about what they eat in a week.
I sent a jokey one to my sister quite some time back because I was inspired to write one after reading a woman who was oh-so concerned about overfishing.
I think I will write another on here.
I’m not sure if I will post daily or wait until my week is over, but I’m sure it will be funny! So stay tuned…
In other interesting news, my sisters may be trying out Crazy Blind Date, which has made Legal Eagle want to give it another try. Great…this should be interesting.
And in other news, saw Religulous this weekend and it was funny! So funny!

Day 48 - No News...
Georgie just stopped by.
He commented on our Halloween decorations and how he liked them (our door and window are covered in webs and whatnot).
I think he also tried to peek in my room a little to see what it looks like or to look for the cats.
I’ve missed him.
And I wish I could dress him in little suits and sweater vests.
I need a new hobby.

Day 47 - Frustrating...
I was looking at a website that I wrote an article on Fall TV and noticed that they have an interview with Seth Rogen up, however they spell his name Rogan. This is very frustrating for me because how can a magazine typo their biggest article? And how can the writer who wrote it have typo-ed the person he interviewed?
So, this has all made me realize that I need to reorganize myself or more so, my freelancing.
And maybe it’s time to think a little bigger.
I do remember before I moved out here, my oldest sister said I should look into freelancing. My first thought was:
Freelancing? Please, I don’t want to do that bullshit. I deserve to be on a staff.
Well, funny how life works.
In nice news, I got a check from a magazine that I did a piece on that I had already forgotten about. Yay!
But now I must think about what I can really write about and want to write about: they say write what you know and Legal Eagle has mentioned two things to me that I know:
LE: You watch more TV than anyone I’ve ever met.
True.
LE: I’ve never seen anyone with more lipglosses than you.
True.
So, I know TV and lipgloss. There must be a career somewhere in there!
^ First image to come up when I Google TV and lip gloss. It’s Juicy Couture lip gloss. It’s ugly.
And finally, in totally awesome news - remember Gossip Girl and her husband. Well LE found out he isn’t her husband, but he’s her gay friend! Love it! So now he will be known as Gossip Girl’s Gay or G3. This makes them both even more amazing. I can barely handle it!

Day 46 - Ladies Who Lunch
Yesterday was a lovely little day!
Legal Eagle ditched work and we went to the Wild Women of Wine Country luncheon and fashion show benefiting breast cancer.
It seemed very much like a thing that trophy wives or women who don’t have to work would do.
The people watching was great and overall, it was so random and something I’ve never done that it was perfect.
Oh and I got to finally bust out my perfect garden party dress!!!!
^All the pink was a perfect accessory!
But it did make me realize that this dress can be worn anywhere because it’s soooo much fun! And I need more fun stuff like it…just a thought!
Not much other news that I can think of…

Day 45 - The Night Of Big Baby, Backwards Cap Guy, My Twin And Oh, The Lady Who Fell
Last night, in an attempt to explore Long Beach and scout out areas to find potential dates for Bride Brain’s wedding, Legal Eagle and I went out for a mild night in Long Beach after her class. It was quite an odd night.
First, Big Baby. LE and I went to a dueling pianos bar and were lucky enough to find seats. Unfortunately some major goober guys found seats near us shortly after. One, who proceeded to attempt to chat up LE (although too drunk to do so?), looked like a big baby. It took me a while to figure out what he reminded me of, but his head is giant and baby-like and when he danced it all clicked. It looked like when LE and I worked at a kiddie daycare and the kids would dance. His limbs were so little and baby-like! He was awkward the rest of the night, but gave us many things to laugh at.
Next, Backwards Cap Guy (BCG). I went to the bar at one point to get a couple of more drinks for us. BCG was hanging out there and noticed me waiting for a while for drinks, so he grabbed a bartender and ordered and paid for mine and LE’s drinks. He had a slacker surfer look to him, who doesn’t in California. He was friendly and not overly creepy or anything. However, he had major douche bag friends. Here is how I know:
LE and I arrive and end up hanging out by a group of people. We both look at them and then at each other with a look that says we think they are douche bags. I probably rolled my eyes. BCG arrived later and he knew these people. Too bad. Oh, and the best part, when he first talked to me, he opened with the line:
Hi Cutie.
Vomit, but it does show me that there just may be some potential in Long Beach. (And he slightly redeemed himself later when he said he liked this place because it was dark and he didn’t have to see the people in the crowd — note, I was in the light, so he was not referring to me).
Now! My Twin! Who knew I had one! Well, when LE and I arrived there was this wasted girl dancing with a glass of wine in hand. She soon comes over to me and LE and says:
Oh My God! When I saw you over there I thought, I didn’t know my twin was here!
She then continues:
I was looking in like a mirror image.
OK, yes, we both have bangs and maybe some similar facial characteristics. But twin? She had too much wine. Later, LE found her singing and being an overall hot mess in the bathroom. Someone needs to control my twin.
Finally, a girl fell down by the bar because she was wasted and later a girl fell down by our seats because she was wasted. Neither girl was LE or me for the record. Hot messes all around!

Day 44 - And My Boyfriend Is...
A Surfer!
Legal Eagle wrote our little email to Bride Brain about our boyfriends and whatnot. Apparently they are both surfers who live near the beach and like a block away from each other!
^ Are you my boyfriend?
And when I thought LE was taking it too far making them both surfers, she responded oh-so-wisely:
Well, come on, everyone out here is a surfer.
So, we didn’t give them names or anything, but apparently we have been dating them for a while, oh and Mom and Dad, you already met them both and adore them. Yeah, we’ve even brought our parents into this!
I’m just happy to have all this documented in email because I have the worst time sticking to lies and remembering stories.
In fabulous other news, my review of Californication is one of the top stories on Buzzine. Go me!
California is quite hot right now, 80s or so, but I here Chicago is quite chilly. Let’s just hope it doesn’t snow there anytime soon!!

Day 43 - Attack Of The Bride Brain
OK, the wedding stuff is now out of control.
We got a response to all of our questions from Bride Brain and it was mighty long.
First, she told us she is going to get us a bigger size than what is measured so that we can just get it altered, to which Legal Eagle said:
Why not just buy us what size we measured and then we don’t have to pay for alterations?
LE and me: 1 BB: 0
The dresses, we were informed after we made sure to ask, will cost about $160. Ouch. And we were naive enough to think she was treating since she is ordering and wouldn’t let us get them out here. Oh, and since I’m tall, I get to pay extra for extra length.
LE and me: 1 BB: 1
And we were informed that the shoes will be 1 or 2 inches, no more. I have two pairs of small heeled shoes and only because they are awesome. And I know they are going to be those cliched bridal party shoes. If this is the case, can’t we just wear flip-flops?
LE and me:1 BB:2
Now, the rehearsal is on a Friday, wedding on Saturday, brunch and gift opening on Sunday. We plan on having to fly back on Sunday (although we might stick around and nurse our hangovers, order room service and laugh about all the awkward moments from the previous night), but BB won’t know and we are NOT going to a gift opening.
LE and me: 2 BB:2
She caught on to the boyfriend thing LE mentioned and has now asked about them. As Gary from WILAY would say, “Oh my damn.” But LE is very focused and going to take this on full steam ahead, so looks like I am on board.
This is a toss up as it could go well and we could get boyfriends, or horribly and get lost in our lies.
LE and me: 2 BB:2
She told us we might want to look at staying at the hotel that her and her hubby-to-be will stay the night of the wedding…ew!
LE and me: 2 BB:2 my mind:forever tortured
^Bride Brain
So LE had a brilliant idea that tonight, after working out, we will eat, crack open a bottle of wine and reply with all the news about our boyfriends. Again, “Oh my damn.”
Oh, but here is an awesome conversation LE and I had about our “boyfriends.”
LE: You’re gonna be like, “Oh, this is Juniper.”
Me: Juniper? Why would my fake boyfriend be named Juniper?
LE: You’ll be Molly and Juniper.
Me: (beginning to laugh).
LE: Mine will be like, “Babe I can’t find my name for seating.” And I’ll be like, “It’s under JoJo. You’re sitting next to Juniper.”
Me: JoJo? (more laughing)
LE: Yeah, JoJo and Juniper.
Me: They sound like a partnership of some sort.
LE: Hmm…let’s just hope they’re not that type of partnership.
Now I really can’t wait to meet JoJo and Juniper!

Day 42 - And The Plot Thickens
Legal Eagle and I got measured for Bride Brain’s wedding. It cost us $10 each for some lady to tell us we apparently aren’t the size we thought we were. Overall, awesome time…
But before we got measured, LE emailed BB saying we would and here is what she implied:
That we will and already do have boyfriends who we plan to bring to the wedding.
Currently, there aren’t even any options.
So now we have to find guys who will not only go to a wedding in Iowa, but will go along with whatever lies we will be telling BB about our dates if she ever asks about them. I’m going to need to find a very understanding guy. Very.
But while I was stressing over LE making all this up, she did redeem herself.
During the drive this morning, I was telling her how I am not going to tell BB what my “boyfriend” is like just to play it safe, she says:
Oh my God! This is totally something Holly would do!
And you know what, it is.
^ Holly is a totally good schemer. And this episode is not often shown, but quite good when Holly finds out about Henry’s ex. And of course Holly schemes to find and meet her.
In other sad weekend news, my old cat Collie passed away. (Old man winter). Same day as Paul Newman, both had amazing blue eyes.
^Best cat ever.
But before we got measured, LE emailed BB saying we would and here is what she implied:

Day 41 - Doom's Day
Legal Eagle and I are going to get measured for our bridesmaid dresses for Bride Brain’s big day. We are not pleased about this at all seeing as though she had originally told us we needed them by January and then a couple of weeks ago she asked if we could do this soon. Then, just this week, she asked us to have it done by October 3rd.
I am not at my goal weight of: Rachel Zoe.
^Scary! Sorry!
Needless to say, wedding stuff is troublesome. There is way too much to do especially since we are out-of-state. Not to mention, expensive! But on the upside, I think we could have quite a good time being the rebels of the wedding.
Pretty sure all the other bridesmaids are married/engaged/soon to be engaged/or seriously dating. And I’m pretty sure they all LOVE weddings! (Other than LE obviously). So it might be kind of fun when they realize how not into all of this we are. Not that I plan on ruining her day or anything, but I don’t plan on “ooh”-ing or “aah”-ing either.
Plus, have I mentioned that we will have to ride on a a trolley. Now, I’m not sure how I feel about this, but would normally be like, “Awesome, trolley!” But I can’t imagine I will enjoy it much with the company that will be there.
LE and I plan to make the best of it. And hopefully with her help, I’ll have some fun. Well, all I know for sure is that we are strapping flasks to our legs. That is a necessity!

Day 40 - I Know My Neighbors
This can be a good thing if your neighbors are totally awesome or you want to date one or they’re rich.
My neighbors are not and I went a really long time not having to deal with any of them other than Nosy Neighbor.
However, the tides have changed now that I work from home mostly. The first situation began with Georgie. He is a little neighbor boy who looks like he is straight from the ’50s.
Me: So Georgie came by my window today while I was reading.
Legal Eagle: Is his name really Georgie?
Me: Oh no, that’s just what I call him because he looks old-fashioned and it was the first old-fashioned name I could think of. I don’t know his real name.
LE: OK.
Me: So Schatzi was in the window and Georgie came by and was like “Hi.” And then he just hung out trying to play with Schatzi through the window while I am lying on my bed reading.
LE: Weird.
And stuff like this has continued. He has come by my window many times after school and given me a hello, but just the other day he crossed the line. He tried to sell me school fundraiser items (like jewelry or chocolate as he put it). He thinks we are such good friends that I will buy that sucker crap! I didn’t buy because as he asked I was thinking about my credit card bill.
Well, needless to say this relationship needs to be adjusted.
However, he is not my only friendly neighbor.
There are these older women down a few apartments who occasionally sit outside and gossip. We’ll call them the Gossip Girls. One has often complimented me and LE, saying we always look so nice. Now, I would LOVE to be friends with them and put on my best smoker’s accent and have my coffee black and wear some house slippers while chatting with them in the middle of the day, but alas, they are not the friends I have.
One GG has a husband. He’s perfectly nice and all, but has become very chatty. We’ll call him GGH (Gossip Girl Hubby).
Yesterday as my window is wide open for the cats to enjoy, however my desk is in sight of my window:
GGH: Well, you’re on the computer about as much as we are.
Me: (wondering why there is a man at my window) Oh yeah, work of course (making it clear I don’t surf for porn).
GGH: I thought we were the only ones. We’ve got four computers and two printers and who knows what else.
Me: (really wondering why two people would need four computers) Oh, yeah, I know (staring at my one computer and zero printers).
And then today:
GGH: Hi neighbor.
Me: Hey. How are you?
GGH: Good. So you have high speed internet?
Me: Yeah (not having any idea if I have high speed, but assuming mine is at least medium to high speed).
GGH: Through Time Warner.
Me: Yeah! (realizing we do use Time Warner, but also realizing we might have DSL?)
GGH: Yeah, us too. We tried to get dial-up and DSL, but it was too slow.
Me: I know. (No I don’t).
GGH: Take it easy.
Me: You too.
Now, I can play this situation a number of ways. I can start closing/semi-closing my blinds, thus depriving my cats of doing whatever it is they do at the window. Or I can totally take this on and even have like a persona for each neighbor that I snap into. This could be fun. And who knows, being chatty with GGH might lead me to hanging out with the GGs!

Day 39 - Oh, That's Right...
My middle sister asked me a couple of days ago what I blogged about (she is even more technologically reluctant than me at times, so I don’t hold it against her for not reading this everyday or for not emailing).
All I answered was, anything. You know, conversations that are funny and whatnot. And then after further discussion I realized that my blog did have a premise!
How could I have been so forgetful. This is all about What I Like About You-ifying my life!!!!
So I think it is high time for some updates.
Well, I’m still as adorable as ever. So that is going great!
As far as career and stuff, I want to believe it is going in a good direction. I’m busy and working a lot. And while much of it is still “pro-bono,” In Style has picked up and I am getting a fair amount of work there.
Oh and with the addition of my super cute desk and chair, my room and stuff is getting a little better than it was. Still want to move to Long Beach though, but alas the money thing hasn’t quite taken off.
And then there are guys, or lack thereof. Unfortunately Legal Eagle and I have been consumed with a number of things and haven’t had much time to just go out for a simple night. But I’d rather do that in Long Beach too.
Hmm...ah yes, organization. I was going to try to get super organized. It is going in the right direction. But I do need to get my print-outs of clips organized. However, my files are going quite well.
One that I have completely passed over was wanting a “hang-out” place. This is rather difficult. Well, there isn’t much here and part of me would hate to find somewhere I absolutely loved only to move to Long Beach. So until the hopefully sooner rather than later move, Starbucks is good.
Zany situations is going awesome! It’s pretty standard that something odd happens around here every now and then.
What I need is to be really computer-saavy and figure out how to make an awesome WILAY chart or graph and be able to track my progress. Although this may be taking things too far.

Day 38 - Cats Ahoy!
This afternoon as I was sitting down to lunch finally, I saw Scurvy Cat sitting outside waiting for lunch as well. I fully intended to not feed him as I didn’t have the energy, but something inside me melted as he meowed.
Maybe it’s because I miss our other stray cats who have gone missing or maybe I feel bad because one half of his body is missing fur and his tail is crooked, but I fed him and we (kind of) ate lunch together.
More cat news:
Last night Legal Eagle and Barbar were two of a kind. Barbar had crazy eyes and was acting like LE on Airheads.
^ Tried to find a pic of a cat chasing a person, but couldn’t. Instead, these eyes are what Barbar’s looked like.
Needless to say, I then found out LE had had a double cappuccino that night during her class and never in my life have I met someone who is so obviously affected by sugar and caffeine. It is ridiculous and mostly entertaining.
But they were like two wild cats chasing each other. I got run over a few times by Barbar, but I think he enjoyed having a play buddy since sometimes Schatzi can be a little too calm for him.
I think the game LE said they were playing was “Make the cats run.” Sounds about right.
And of course this did not tire little Barbar out as he chewed through a plastic bag to get to LE’s bird feathers (from her mom’s bird back home) and carry them around and play with them on my bed.
I then had to take them and hide them under my pillow. And while he nosed around, I fake threw them, which he fell for and eventually left me alone.
I will never ever have a son. This cat is my only one. Daughters would never act like this!
Tonight should be just as interesting…

Day 37 - Just A Bunch Of Little Things...
This weekend was Joel McHale and it was great! He even made a little fun of us when we yelled and cheered for him mentioning Vegas. All in all, a success.
But beforehand, Legal Eagle and I took the bus to the event and cabbed home, but on our way there, we got to stand near Pink/Belly shirt Girl! She is my favorite hooker in our town. Plus we got to hear her speak and it was magical.
It can only be compared to a honey-glazed ashtray.
But more importantly, here is a conversation LE and I had yesterday afternoon:
Me: I need a nanny.
LE: For Barbar?
Me: No, for me. Then they could put me to bed and stuff.
LE: Oh. Did you know you can adopt adults? Like I could adopt you.
Me: Want to? Wait, can someone younger adopt someone older? (as LE is slightly younger than me)
LE: Yeah, I think so.
Me: Cool.
So, maybe LE will adopt me sometime and then she can hire me a nanny. A girl can dream…
In other news, I got Season 1 and part of the upcoming season of Californication from Buzzine, who I edit for. LE and I are now huge fans. I’m quite impressed.
And in other other news, I hate transcribing interviews and for some reason people keep sending me more. Yuck!
OK, back to work-ish!

Day 36 - Was She Right??
I’m working a lot right now - editing, writing, covering events and all that good stuff.
Which made me wonder:
It’s almost the end of Sept/beginning of Oct. And the psychic told me that I would have my career turned around for the best around this time. Could she possibly be right??
^Oh my awesome psychic!
I mean, she has been wrong on a few levels:
- My parents did not try to drag me back to Chicago
- The Doc is not back in the picture whatsoever
- I have not come into a mysterious sum of money (or did I when I had my meltdown?)
- I have not taken a trip nor will I likely take one soon
But she has been right about:
- LE did pass her Baby Bar
and that’s about it.
Well, maybe she will get one thing right about each of us. Then I won’t have to consider myself unlucky in love!
I’m covering the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party tomorrow and this feels completely amazing (plus I’m pretty sure no one else I went to high school and college with gets to do anything this cool) (except LE because she’s met people from The Hills including Ste-phen!)
And now back to work because I have quite a bit due and not quite a bit of time to do it.
Joel McHale in 3 days!

Day 35 - Back At It!
I’ve become oddly motivated today about the weirdest possible thing.
I actually want to put together a grocery shopping list today (LE and I are going tonight) and I want t think of new yummy things to eat and I want to buy more fruits and veggies.
I almost think I could eat completely healthy food if I didn’t often crave things like Big Macs and onion rings.
It’s like when Val was cleaning out all of their junk food and Holly saves the Oreos. Then Val asks about them and Holly tells her they are breakfast, lunch and dinner (there are 3 rows)
^ She’s so logical.
Speaking of Big Macs, here is a convo with LE about Big Macs.
Me: I used to really be able to eat, like tons and never be full.
LE: Yeah, me too.
Me: I used to eat 2 Big Macs when I was a kid.
LE: What?! 2 Big Macs! (eyes widen) That’s four patties.
Me: Yeah and I wouldn’t even be full.
LE: 2 Big Macs?! That is…(laughs).
Me: Well I didn’t eat french fries.
LE: (completely serious) Oh, well then that makes sense.
Great, now I really want some french fries.
In other news, I really really still love my desk.
And in more other news, LE and I are going to see Joel McHale’s stand-up show. I might die. This is probably going to be in my Top 10 Things Ever!
I will give a completely detailed recap of Saturday night after we go. Something to look forward to…….
Oh, but in completely sad news, Amy Poehler is leaving SNL and life will never be the same. “Riiick!”

Day 34 - Now I Can Focus
I bought a desk and chair yesterday after Legal Eagle said to me: You need a desk.
I was reluctant because, well, it’s money. But I love it! And I feel so much more motivated to work on things and get them done.
Plus they are super cute: black desk and bright turquoise chair (to match the black, white and blue colors of my room).
And now it’s like I have my own office at home (although it’s right next to my bed). But I am kind of like when Val worked at home!
However, I am more like in Season 2 when Val worked at her little apartment and Holly had nowhere to eat breakfast. Don’t worry, Legal Eagle has room to eat breakfast.
But I’m so not Val working at home in her super fabulous loft. Oh well, gives me something to work towards.
FYI: the place where I usually get my WILAY pictures to post has changed, so until I can find another supplier, it may be a little while until there are some good ones back up.
And now switching topics: I have been eating onion bagels lately, but they leave me starving by like 10. Granted, I am only eating half a bagel. Maybe I have a tapeworm…ew.
But needless to say, I’m hungry as I type and must figure out some sort of snack to have before lunch and some sort of yummy lunch to have for lunch. God, I’m talking a lot about food.

Day 33 - What I've Always Wanted
Business cards!!!!!!!!!!
I will be getting some soon from Buzzine as I am now a contributing editor there! All very exciting and really, business cards are all I want out of life.
On another note: instead of having WILAY days, last Friday I had a very Becky Bloomwood day (Shopaholic).
Dealt with major money issues in the morning after having a major meltdown. And then carried on to go to a press conference for Stand Up 2 Cancer in the afternoon. But unlike her press conferences, this one did not have champagne, but did have lunch for us.
So maybe I’m not so WILAY right now as the money thing is getting in the way, but being a little bit Shopaholic isn’t too bad either.
But I did do a very WILAY thing today. I rearranged my bed and computer area, so my room is looking slightly different today and I’m quite fond of it.
It is much like the episode where Holly feng shuis Val’s place (the first episode). However, I cannot find a picture of this, so instead, here is a creepy picture of Gary.
Yikes!

Day 32 - First Comes Praise...
Then comes money???
As I have continued my freelancing, things are getting better. And I have had a few editors tell me how impressed they are with what I have done and with my clips.
This is a good sign and is slowly putting me in a better mood.
But what is putting me in a really good mood is that my mom finally sent me some pictures from their trip out here.
How adorable are we?! And who knew that wetsuits could be so flattering.
I think that picture makes this blog enough for today. Plus there really isn’t much going on here.
Except tomorrow I am covering the Stand Up 2 Cancer event! Should be interesting…

Except tomorrow I am covering the Stand Up 2 Cancer event! Should be interesting…

Day 31 - Shopaholic Style
I finished the final (I think?) Shopaholic today. And I am feeling major withdrawal already.
And then last night I also saw a trailer for the film and I almost cried. It is soooooooo beyond wrong! The main issue is she has red hair and in the final book she hates this woman with red hair and there is this whole red hair issue, so it just doesn’t make sense for her to have red hair.
This may take me a while to get over.
So, I had to kill a little bug today. With a magazine, which luckily LE and I haven’t tossed the magazines we are getting rid of so I didn’t have to use a good one, which reminded me of an incident when my sisters were here.
Middle sister: You have a bug in here.
Me: Where? Oh no! Get me a magazine.
Middle sister: OK.
Me: Wait, not a good one though.
Middle sister: What?! Did you say not a good one??
Me: (going to the magazines) Hmm…we can use People, not Glamour though.
Middle sister: (laughs)
I’m pretty sure she ended up getting rid of the bug without it resulting in death or the use of any magazines.
There was also an incident this weekend at my apartment laundry room. LE was trying to wash her comforter and a certain Nosy Neighbor was saying LE was going to break the machine, blah blah. So he stopped it from washing and caused us a huge ordeal. He acts like he is in charge here. Long story short, we sopped up the water with a towel which we then threw into the washer to clean and forgot about until the next day.
Well, NN then “confronted” me on this issue.
NN: Hey, sorry about yesterday. I didn’t mean to…
Me: (cutting him off) Yeah, OK, it’s fine.
NN: Oh, did you guys leave a towel in there?
Me: (realizing he might think he is better than us and doesn’t leave his towels in overnight) No.
NN: Oh, well there was a towel left in that same washer yesterday.
Me: Well it’s not ours. (beginning to walk away)
NN: OK, well I hung it on the face.
Me: (still walking away) OK, whatever.
I then had to spend the rest of the day on lookout, planning when I could go grab our towel so that NN wouldn’t see me.
All in all, I’m feeling very Shopaholic as she lies about everything just to save herself a little trouble. Plus I’m pretty sure she would understand saving the good magazines.
Oh yeah, and I just took a quick quiz on the Shopaholic website and I am a Becky Bloomwood in the making. Things I can be proud of…

Day 30 - A Bit To Catch Me Up
Yesterday morning Legal Eagle and I were getting ready to go to the gym and here is how it went:
Me ready and waiting in the livingroom.
LE: (some muffled talking in her room)
Me: What?
LE: (more muffled talking)
Me: What? Are you talking to me? (as I proceed to walk to LE’s room)
Upon entering LE’s room, I do not see her, but do see her closet door closed and Barbar (my cat) laying on her floor near her closet.
Me: What are you doing?
LE: Can you help me out of here?
Yes, LE was locked in her closet by my cat.
And I know LE will want to kill me for posting this, but it is like right out of a WILAY episode! Plus it has given me nonstop laughter every time I think about it.
On another note, I had a dream a couple of nights ago that I was trying to get a job and I had to go through all these obstacles and chase down the person I was interviewing with and all sorts of craziness. Like I needed to dream this, could it all be more obvious.
But it’s kind of like when Holly dreams about being in Gilligan’s Island.
^ I’ve been waiting for a reason to use this picture.
And finally, on a completely different note: LE and I have an old roomie (who I will refer to as Bride Brain or BB) who has put us in her wedding.
Note: we rarely talk and we dislike her groom of choice. Also, she emailed us yesterday about getting our measurements in and all sorts of stuff about her new house, blah blah and did not once ask anything about us. LE and I are not pleased.
I am not happy with this wedding. And I don’t have a date yet. What’s a girl to do?!

Day 29 - Call Me Gidget...Or Gadget
So my parents have come and gone! And oh what a trip it was!
The absolute craziest thing we did was take a surfing lesson!
^ Me (Gigdet/Gadget) and my mom (Moon Doggie/Kitty)…I’ll have to get the before picture because it is way cute!
The nicknames are a long story, but I think these are the names we settled on.
Surfing was insane and exhausting and I only stood on my board like a few times, but my mom was a master at it. She even got a minor surfing injury, which I was a little jealous of.
My parents also fell in love with Wahoo’s fish tacos and I couldn’t drag them away from Huntington Beach.
Plus mine and LE’s cats were somewhat nice to my parents and hung out a little with them. So overall, everyone had a lovely time.
I would write more, but I am hungry for lunch and have to get my apartment back in order. Until tomorrow…

Day 28 - A Year Later...
Legal Eagle and I have now been out in California for just over a year (our year mark was Sunday and we celebrated with pizza and champagne).
And what perfect timing because now my parents are on their way to visit…finally!
In one year I have managed to have about a million jobs.
In one year I have managed to interview a good handful of celebrities.
It has certainly been quite a year. From chicken pox/shingles to trips to Vegas, I cannot believe all that has gone on here.
But I am soooo ready for Season Two!
^Val and Holly in Season Two!
I mean, Season Two is when Vince comes along, which he is way better than Henry. I still don’t understand the Henry/Holly relationship.
Plus they move into the loft in Season Two. Everything just gets a little better and a little more settled in Season Two, so I am so beyond ready for my turn!
But with my parents here for a few days, the blogging will once again be put on pause, but I’m sure with my return, there will be much to say!

Day 27 - Unlucky In Love
That is what the psychic told me. Many times over.
Legal Eagle and I went to our Tarot card reading this weekend and it was great, other than the unlucky in love thing.
But I am looking forward to the end of September because she said things will do a 180 for me, for the best.
So according to her my career will actually get going at some point and I am going in the right direction, blah blah.
Although, she did seem to allude to The Doc and that he isn’t out of the picture yet. Although he is quite out of the picture. And she may have said something about me not giving him enough of a chance, whatever. And she also alluded to the fact that I find him completely unreliable. Bingo!
All in all, it was fun and I’ll take bits and pieces of it as accurate. The only freaky thing was that she hit on a few things about me that were eerily true. It wasn’t so much of a prediction as either she read me really really well or something psychic-y….
^Our psychic did not look like this, but I wish she had!
Also, got my hair cut this weekend and am really in love with it. Cute bangs and good layers. And no longer scraggly.
Oh! I just realized that this means that I did accomplish getting a hairstyle that I love! I am so on my WILAY way!

Day 26 - Maybe It's A Bit Like Love...
I’m exhausted and probably driving myself a little crazy over this whole job thing. I know that I have spent way too much time in front of my computer, checking for jobs or looking at my email, waiting for someone to respond.
So, I need some space. Not that I will stop looking by any means, but I will chill out a little. After all, all of my other internships came when I wasn’t really expecting them or necessarily looking for them.
- CosmoGIRL! came along while I was waiting to hear from Seventeen and randomly called them one day to see if they were filling internships.
- Newcity came while my oldest sister and I were sitting in a Chinese restaurant and she picked up one of their issues and I had never ever heard of them before.
- In Style came along while I had a job and would occasionally check editorial websites to see what was out there, but was not at all looking for an internship of all things.
I suppose they say you find love when you finally stop looking for it, but what I want more than that is a dream job, so I’m going to lighten up on myself and my email checking and job obsessing. I’ll do some temping and whatnot to pay the bills and of course I’ll keep freelancing.
Honestly, I should just be taking a bit from WILAY. Val found her dream bakery when she wasn’t even expecting it.
^ See how happy she looks…well, you know…
Plus now I can get reacquainted with Shopaholic who has been having such a hard time in Shopaholic and Sister.
Oh and better yet, Legal Eagle wants to go to a psychic! I have been dying to go. Really, I would go to a psychic everyday if I could. But she mentioned it this morning and now I am bursting with excitement and have to find a really good one.
And I have to find us a hairdresser soon! I have decided to get bangs again and am also excited about that.
Time for boring dishes…reality can be such a drag.

Day 25 - In Need Of A Cute, Little Title Here
Can’t think of one thing in particular to blog about, so today will be a bunch of random, little things.
Last Friday I did make it to Blockbuster and have come to realize that I should not be allowed to go to Blockbuster alone, as I came out with 5 movies (I really wanted 6, but held back).
However, I have watched 3 of them already…2 to go!
And the reviews go as follows:
^ Word Wars - A-, good, but the people followed in it become pretty depressing. Wordplay, which is the crossword puzzle version of this film is much more recommended.
^ McLibel - B+, It’s interesting and I knew nothing about it, but goes a little slow for me and not enough juicy stuff.
^ Breakfast at Tiffany’s - A, Would have been an A+, but they have turned it into a color version and Blockbuster did not have the black and white…why would they do that? Don’t you just love milk in a martini glass…
I have a new show that I am so hooked on: Flipping Out (with Jeff Lewis). I love having new reality shows to love and gorge on.
^ He’s totally creepy looking!
But, he is so honest about being shallow and unemotional and needy. I love it. He’s way psycho, but so fascinating. I cannot get enough of this show and since I’ve never watched it, there is plenty for me to catch. This could be dangerous.
And another thing I am excited about: yet another blog!
But this time it’s a little, fashion blog: Falling for Fashion
Plus my party dress is featured on it today.
Now I must go spend the rest of my day like Carrie Bradshaw, sitting and contemplating and being fabulous in my little apartment. Oh wait…there are dishes to do, cat litter to be changed and jobs to be found. Until tomorrow…

Day 24 - My Perfect Little Weekend
Legal Eagle and I have decided to do just about nothing all weekend.
After hosting my sisters here and then being hosted in Texas, it is time for some nothingness.
Well, we do have a few plans, but they boil down to this:
- Olympic watching tonight with some yummy Chinese food (and no, we actually did not plan on having Chinese because the Olympics are in China, we just really love Pick Up Stix).
- LE’s open house at her new school on Saturday. While this does count as doing something, it will be in Long Beach (hopefully our future home) and I can goof off and explore because I won’t be going to school there (but no worries, I will try my best not to embarrass LE).
- Of course, the Dallas Cowboys have a pre-season game Saturday night, so of course LE and I will have to catch this (side note: I am not a football fan, but do enjoy the Cowboys, partly because I have no choice and partly because I get to eat yummy food and drink beer).
- Maybe watch some old movies. Have to go to Blockbuster and am thinking I just might pick up a bunch of Audrey Hepburn movies.
All in all, a whole lot of nothing going on and I am so excited for it.
And since I am going to have my perfect little weekend, here is a treat for everyone else:
^ Oldest sister, Greg Behrendt and me!
He sure is bizarre looking!
Hope everyone has a lovely little weekend!

Day 23 - Me Time
I’m back and 24!!!
And all I want right now is a little “me time.” I feel very much in the need of a day or 2 of just vegging out with nothing to do. But with our apartment being fairly close to a disaster zone and my life being equally as close, I think I will have to wait until the weekend to truly have a little “me time” and catch up with my magazines and Shopaholic.
But I think there are a few things that will get me to the weekend:
- My birthday party girl dress which I will post a picture of as soon as I take one. Maybe I’ll try it on just for kicks.
- Some WILAY episodes since it has been forever since I’ve gotten to see one.
- Knowing that my many mosquito bites from Texas will have to go away eventually.
- Coming home and remembering all the cutesy little things I got for my birthday.
- Oh, my parents impending arrival of course. Will be so nice!
In other news, talked to Oldest Sister today who informed me that she figured out why I like WILAY. Said she finally noticed Holly’s short skirts and it all makes sense because I am also quite fond of wearing short shorts or skirts for that matter.
^ So not the reason I like the show, but I can appreciate and relate to her taste in clothing.
If I were in school I would totally be shopping for school supplies. Not sure why I thought about this, but it actually seems like it would be fun. Man, I really want an office job, so I can buy a ton of cutesy office supplies. Then I would be known as The Girl with the Cutesy Office Supplies (if you read Shopaholic, this may sound familiar).
And I could go back-to-school clothes shopping! I would get scarves and boots and a bunch of clothes in brown and yellow and green. And of course a load of little jackets!
On a final and completely different note:
I saw the layout of Brad and Angelina’s kids and poor Maddox! He only gets one picture (of the 19 pages) and it’s a profile…although there is another, but he has Shiloh sitting on him so you only see him legs and arms. At first I wondered if he was going through an awkward stage, but he isn’t, he is just left out.

Day 22 - Another Year Wiser??
I am one day away from my 24th birthday and as I was sitting eating my bagel with goat cheese (a gift from my parents, yes, I got goat cheese for my birthday) I thought that this year I just may feel a bit wiser, as they say you should.
But just because I am wiser this year, doesn’t mean I won’t continue to do things like get my shoe stuck in cake.
^ Very good episode and unusual because they are outside for most of it.
But back to what I have become wiser about:
- While public transportation is great, sometimes you just must break down and call a cab.
- It is possible to truly love a piece of clothing, a bag or a pair of shoes (especially when they are birthday gifts).
^ Like when Holly loved her cashmere sweater.
- Bread should be eaten rustic style.
- People come as advertised (as Greg Behrendt told us). This is not only wise, but applies to The Doc, who I had a convo with that went something like this:
A couple days ago:
Doc: What are you up to tonight?
Me: Sisters are in town.
Doc: Oh, just wanted to see if you wanted to go out tonight.
Me: Can’t, but maybe Monday or Tuesday?
Doc: Should work next week. Maybe Sunday, we’ll talk then.
(first, Sunday wasn’t an option as my sisters were still in town).
Then last night:
Doc: What’re you up to tonight? Wanna get together? Happy early birthday by the way.
Me: Thanks, can’t tonight and going out of town soon.
(side note: I really was busy last night as I was helping Legal Eagle at work because her boss needs some things organized and we didn’t get home until close to 9 and he hadn’t booked me for Tuesday whatsoever).
Doc: Oh, thought we were getting together tonight.
Me: Didn’t know you were gonna be free. I’ll be back on the 5th.
Doc: OK, we should get together soon.
And now I have come to realize that he is completely as advertised and will probably never make a plan in advance when it comes to me. And as LE asked:
If you were really into him, you would be going out, wouldn’t you?
And I would have. So, sorry Doc, I’m just don't know if I'm that into you or into going out at the last minute. (Plus the boys in Long Beach are oh-so-cute, but that isn’t the only reason I want to move there).
^ When Holly went to Florida for Vince, now that is being into someone.
OK, back to things I am wiser about:
- Vegas is fun, but you can only survive there for a couple of days.
- I now know when there is something I really want, like a job. As I just got yet another rejection, I’ve come to realize that almost all of these places I have applied to are not places I see myself working. So now it’s a matter of finding a place I see myself. Oh yeah, and that whole timing thing.
- Don’t try to light your gas stove with newspaper that you light on fire. Don’t worry, there were no injuries whatsoever.
- Cats shouldn’t eat string.
- I’m really quite funny, like, I can make myself laugh just about all the time.
OK, so that’s a pretty rough, but accurate list. Plus I don’t feel like writing much more and I have a million things to do before going off to Galveston for a few.
Happy Birthday to me! Sorry, the blog will be temporarily stalled during my trip, but I will report back with all the fun and adventures!

- Bread should be eaten rustic style.
- People come as advertised (as Greg Behrendt told us). This is not only wise, but applies to The Doc, who I had a convo with that went something like this:
A couple days ago:
Doc: What are you up to tonight?
Me: Sisters are in town.
Doc: Oh, just wanted to see if you wanted to go out tonight.
Me: Can’t, but maybe Monday or Tuesday?
Doc: Should work next week. Maybe Sunday, we’ll talk then.
(first, Sunday wasn’t an option as my sisters were still in town).
Then last night:
Doc: What’re you up to tonight? Wanna get together? Happy early birthday by the way.
Me: Thanks, can’t tonight and going out of town soon.
(side note: I really was busy last night as I was helping Legal Eagle at work because her boss needs some things organized and we didn’t get home until close to 9 and he hadn’t booked me for Tuesday whatsoever).
Doc: Oh, thought we were getting together tonight.
Me: Didn’t know you were gonna be free. I’ll be back on the 5th.
Doc: OK, we should get together soon.
And now I have come to realize that he is completely as advertised and will probably never make a plan in advance when it comes to me. And as LE asked:
If you were really into him, you would be going out, wouldn’t you?
And I would have. So, sorry Doc, I’m just don't know if I'm that into you or into going out at the last minute. (Plus the boys in Long Beach are oh-so-cute, but that isn’t the only reason I want to move there).
^ When Holly went to Florida for Vince, now that is being into someone.
OK, back to things I am wiser about:
- Vegas is fun, but you can only survive there for a couple of days.
- I now know when there is something I really want, like a job. As I just got yet another rejection, I’ve come to realize that almost all of these places I have applied to are not places I see myself working. So now it’s a matter of finding a place I see myself. Oh yeah, and that whole timing thing.
- Don’t try to light your gas stove with newspaper that you light on fire. Don’t worry, there were no injuries whatsoever.
- Cats shouldn’t eat string.
- I’m really quite funny, like, I can make myself laugh just about all the time.
OK, so that’s a pretty rough, but accurate list. Plus I don’t feel like writing much more and I have a million things to do before going off to Galveston for a few.
Happy Birthday to me! Sorry, the blog will be temporarily stalled during my trip, but I will report back with all the fun and adventures!

Day 21 - It's Been A While...
It has been far too long since I last visited this blog due to my sisters’ visits. But there was much fun with my girlies and Martini all week.
I got to see some of my most favorite people: Chelsea Handler and Greg Behrendt.
Both were more than I could ever ask for. I even got a picture with Greg (which my sister has on her camera) and got to tell him how obsessed I used to be with his old talk show. Embarrassing, but I’m sure he was flattered.
Once Martini arrived, we took him to a dog beach.
Middle sister: Isn’t Long Beach creepy?
Me: No.
a few minutes pass…
Me: It’s Schlong Beach that’s creepy.
Middle Sister: (laughs)
a few minutes pass….
Me: (laughs)
Middle Sister: What?
Me: Ha…Schlong Beach…
And we also got Sprinkles Cupcakes!
Me: I want the red velvet one now.
Legal Eagle: I want a bite of Molly’s red velvet one.
Oldest sister: I want the vanilla one.
LE: I want a bite of (oldest sister’s) vanilla one.
Middle sister: I want the peanut butter one.
LE: I want a bite of (middle sister’s) peanut butter one.
Middle sister: Do you want the lemon one?
LE: Yeah.
As you can tell, the cupcakes were quite enjoyable and LE and I still have some sitting in our fridge as well as some sweet cookies from my parents for my upcoming birthday.
Speaking of which, I got some wonderful gifts from everyone and more are to come apparently. But I also got something not so great.
^ not my actual mailing
But I got a letter from AARP yesterday…also an early birthday gift??
So I am preparing to turn 24 in 2 days. I’m feeling rather ready as I stare at my cute, new birthday gift shoes. (I will at some point put pictures up, but am also rather lazy today).
But in honor of my birthday:
^ Gary’s birthday party
^ Tina’s birthday party.
I could not find pictures from the episode where Holly gets $2000 from her grandmother and then kind of loses it and then spends her birthday at The Plaza, but that’s a really great episode.
OK, time to flip the laundry, but hopefully I will blog some more today and fill in some blanks from the last crazy week.

Day 20 - Shoe Heaven
Went to DSW (a former place of employment) today and felt very calm. I really enjoy being around shoes.
But it made me realize that when I start to make more/some money, I am going to spend it on shoes instead of clothes. Shoes are just too much fun.
Although I will still spend some on clothes of course, but I’ll be more balanced about it.
Time with oldest sister has been fun.
Except that we had to have our apartment sprayed and had to empty the kitchen and bathroom and vacate for hours today and board the kitties. But now we are back home.
Off to the movie screening tonight! Fun fun!

Day 19 - He's A Close Talker
Had an incredible night last night.
Covered an event and it went wonderfully.
Oldest sister arrives today.
Must go get ready, grocery shop and finish any last minute cleaning.
I will try to blog during her and middle sister’s stay, but I make no promises.
Time for the fun to begin!

Day 18 - Have I Drifted?
I’m feeling a little unfocused on my WILAY goals. While they are somewhat hard to keep track of and make sure that I am doing them, I feel like I need to keep their progress a little better.
So, I’m going to quickly review the progress.
OK, there was some stuff about hair and makeup on there. I have not gotten my hair cut yet because I can’t decide on what I’m going to do. I really kind of want bangs again, but then I always think about how I won’t be able to just pull them back. I will further process this and make a decision post-birthday.
Clothing change has started. I did take some things out of my closet to get rid of. I might need to do a second cleaning out to really see what I never wear and never will wear.
Hmmm…fabulous job….let’s not talk about this one.
Unfortunately LE and I still live at our apartment, but we are determined. At least it’s cleaner than it usually is and I cleared the drains in the bathroom somewhat.
Oh, my plethora of boys, definitely need to refocus on that one. Feeling slightly disorganized.
One that is going quite well is the zany situations. From pretending to be a couple with LE to the upcoming fun with my sisters, I’m sure this will only get better and better. I must say I’ve been quite successful with this one.
Now, how organized have I gotten? Not that much. I did go through some of my clips and print stuff off, but I haven’t really gotten things together. As soon as my sisters leave, I will dedicate a day to organizing all this. I swear!
Oh and then there is the pesky not wanting to think about money issue. Well, we won’t talk about this one right now either.
I guess technically, I’m still in Season One, where Val’s hair is highlighted all wrong and over-curled and Holly’s clothes are a little boring and they are both just coming into their own.
^ From Season One.
It’ll be just a matter of time before I’m at Season Four.
^ Season Four, where they look so much better.
Although I truly believe that Season Three was the best for both of them. But I couldn’t yet find a picture with both of them. I will soon and post it so everyone else can see the HUGE difference!

Day 17 - Cheer Up Buttercup
I have been in a major funk. And it’s time for it to end.
So, while I have been dwelling over all the annoying, sucky things going on, I’ve decided to focus on the fun and exciting things that are coming up.
Now here is my list of upcoming fun!
- I get to cover a wonderful event with huge names and while I completely think I’ll be a bit of a mess, it’ll be a huge accomplishment and I think I need to start thinking of it that way.
- My sisters are coming! Finally, I get to have some family visit me out here! While it’s been stressful getting ready and making sure all pieces are in place, I can’t wait to see them and know it will be an absolute blast.
- Martini is coming! My middle sister has the best dog ever and he is making a trip out to California (possibly to become a movie star).
- Movie screening Monday. It’s a small movie, but I get to take LE and my oldest sister to it, so I feel pretty cool. Very excited that I get to take my sister to a fancy, private, advance screening with comfy comfy seating.
- Chelsea Handler Show!! Finally I get to go to a taping. I’m so excited to see her in person and I hope she has a super great guest on the show.
- Possible studio tour. Oldest sister and I might go on a tour. And while this is totally lame in a way, I foresee a million laughs along the way. Plus we’ll probably get yelled at or in trouble or kicked off the lot.
- My hero - Greg Behrendt (He’s Just Not That Into You). LE and both sisters and I are going to his show next week. I am sooooo excited. And I can tell him I was probably the only person in the world who watch his short-lived talk show everyday.
- My bowling gift card. Finally going to use it with my visitors. Nice to get something for free!
- I do have an interview with a company that publishes a couple of magazines. Unsure about it as of now, but it’ll be interesting to hear what the job would entail and if it’s what I want to do that could easily sway me.
- My birthday is in about 2 weeks. While I do not like to make a huge deal out of my birthday and get rather overwhelmed once it gets here, I think I will be OK this year. I’m just going to let people fawn over me and do whatever they want and take it easy. Ha.
- I will soon have had a Sprinkles cupcake.
- I’m working my way through all the Shopaholic books and love them and can totally relate to Becky, although it’ll be sad when I’m done with them.
- My sister’s calendar for California. My oldest sister and I figured out how to make and share a calendar on Gmail, so we can add things and stay organized, but we can both use it and we are having so much fun with it.
- Griffith Observatory. Oldest sister and I are going to go and she’s going to say, “What are you rebelling against?” To which I will respond, “What have you got?” And then we’ll drive off a cliff.
- Doggie beach with Martini. Have I mentioned how fabulous and gorgeous he is???
OK, that’s about all I can think about for now. But now I am super excited and feeling better.
^ So not how I will be greeting my sisters at the airport. Sorry girls!!

Day 16 - Changing Standards
I’ve come to realize that my life would be a lot easier if I could only be happy with changing my standards.
As I have been job hunting today (I’m so boring, this is all I do and all I write about), but I have passed countless openings in work that I would never want to do. Some of them are even along the lines of writing, etc. but it would be for business and technology magazines. The thought of working on that sort of stuff is enough to make me punch myself in the head (ala Joey from The Real World).
But if only I could be OK with working some boring job, then I could have things all sorted out. Too bad I’m not more like a robot and able to reprogram myself to like business. (Although I have no qualifications for writing about business).
Then all this got me thinking about other things I would reprogram. Like my clothing standards. I feel like I have talked to my sisters about this, but how much easier would it be if I liked to wear Tweety Bird shirts and tapered jeans. I would save loads of money!
I could reprogram the kind of guys I like and then just date everyone because I wouldn’t care. Everyone would be so much more fascinating!
Maybe I could even reprogram the things that people do that annoy me. Like I would no longer find winking to be insanely creepy and maybe I would even reprogram myself to like grocery shopping and talking on the phone…well, let’s not go crazy here.
But there are definitely some things I would not reprogram:
- My love for reality TV
- The fact that alcohol can solve my problems
- My ability to always get lost
- My insane people-watching skills
- The fact that at “almost” 24 years old, I can still be entertained by any shows on ABC Family or the Disney channel
- My ability to always be entertained by WILAY
Speaking of which, the other day I saw an episode I had never ever seen (I swear!). And I know my oldest sister is thinking I’m a liar and how is that possible. But it is! It was when Holly and Vince first start to like each other, well she does at least. And he stays over because they were putting together a grill. And I had never seen that one!
^ see, there’s the grill.
But it was super good and I feel like now I have accomplished a goal of seeing every episode. Unless there is some mystery episode I haven’t seen, which would be amazing. Cross my fingers!
