OKAY SO.

ANGUS THONGS WAS MADE INTO A MOVIE, EXCEPT ITS CALLED "ANGUS THONGS AND PERFECT SNOGGING" WHICH IS KIND OF DUMB BUT WHATEVER. I'm tired of caps but pretend the rest of the entry is in caps, okay? The movie is being released in the UK on July 25th but the website says that the US release date is "TBD". TBD?!?!??!?! Fuck you guys.

I went to Gravelly Point with Paul last night and we sat on a blanket and watched planes land. At 9 or 10, after everyone else had left, we saw a random fireworks display coming from Arlington or Alexandria. We think someone proposed to their girlfriend or something. I mean, why would there be fireworks on a Wednesday evening in the ides of July? Weird.

I had to deliver letters to the Senate offices and I walked by Obama's office and said "WOOOO" really loudly. I don't think he was in it though.

Today I had to hand deliver letters to a bunch of places all over DC. This included Dick Cheney's wife and the Independent Womens Forum (an anti feminist group). Oh my God it's like working for Voldemort. It's awesome. In the elevator on the way up to the IWF room, I was like "Wait a minute, this sounds familiar. OMG IT'S THE ANTI FEMINIST ORG! SICK!" and sure enough there were posters of old covers of their magazine. The most notable one was an illustration of a sad girl sitting on her bed with panties strewn all over her room. The caption said "The Daughters of the Sexual Revolutions -- All they wanted was a corsage." ...LOL

It's okay, I licked the envelopes and I'm sick so maybe they'll all catch a cold.

I started my job at IRI today. So far all I've done was work for a total of 2 hours and spent the rest of the day farting around. It's sweet.

There are other interns but they are situated in a different area of the office. I'm in a room with 1 other intern who is kind of quiet and 16. I kind of want to go hang out with the rest of them, but like, I don't know them so I can't just go up and start talking to them for no reason. "HAY GUYZ YOU GUYZ LIKE STUFF? YEAH?! ME TOO!!!!"

10 minutes left!!!!!!!

I am watching The Secret Lives of American Teenagers or whatever on ABC Family (I was watching Mean Girls) and holy christ this show is so predictable and after school special-y. It's like Degrassi only not good. It's only been on for 10 minutes and so far a freshman is pregnant and a douche bag is pressuring a girl to have sex with him. And now they're talking about sex again.

High school for me was even barely about sex. I didn't lose my virginity until I was a Junior.

I don't know where I'm going with this, I'm just bored. Paul is in class, Kailie & Jenni are at work, Tyler is MIA and Baylen is with his family. :[

We have a porch swing and rope lights so my porch kind of looks like Sidewalk Cafe. The porch swing is really sweet, though. It turns into a bed! I slept on it last night because my room is too hot and I felt like I was on a dingy in the middle of the ocean.

This weekend was great and jam packed with FUN.

- Saw M83 on Saturday night with Paul (who got wasted and yelled things but it was cute... sort of).

- Saw Rilo Kiley last night and I was RIGHT IN THE FRONT AND CENTER and Jenny Lewis looked right into my eyes and it was like seeing God... sort of. Everyone around us wasn't stoked, though. Which is retarded because why are you going to insist on being in the front and not letting people through if you're just going to stand there acting bored. The girls behind us yelled at Elena and told her to "stop moving". IT'S A CONCERT.

- Got a pedi and a brazilian with Kailie & Damari yesterday. My vag still kind of hurts.

- I GOT A PALM CENTRO YAYYYYYY. Except it won't connect to the internet, which is dumb. I have to take it to the AT&T store to see what's wrong with it.

Um, I think I just heard a gun shot but I'm not sure. It was a really loud bang. It probably wasn't. But I mean, it IS Richmond.

I have a job interview with Banana Republic tomorrow. The thing is, I have an internship in DC in July so I wouldn't be able to work. Maggie and CeCe say I shouldn't tell them until after I already have the job. Good plan.

HAHA I'm reading all of my entries from 10th grade and man are they retarded. And I'm reminded of shit that happened that I completely forgot about. Like how after me and Baylen broke up, I wasn't as close to the guys and there was some sort of animosity between me and Tyler? I don't remember that at all. And I found the entries about Ted and Barker and theatre and high school. Christ.

Sex and the City was amazing. Good night.

Examples of sexism on major news networks:

Gosh going home is great. I've just spent all week with Jenni & Tyler & TP pretty much. I didn't get to see Kailie as often as I would've liked but WORK CALLS I guess.

Apparently Baylen PUKED ON MY BED on Friday (his 21st bday). Note: I was not in Richmond, I was up here. I don't know who's brilliant idea it was to put a puking drunk boy in my bed while I was gone but apparently there is puke everywhere. Elena said that she would clean my sheets, but Tyler said that puke got on the floor and they wiped it up with a random blouse. I REALLY HOPE THAT BLOUSE WASNT MY BLUE CALVIN KLEIN ONE, THAT SHIT IS EXPENSIVE.

I'm leaving for Richmond at 5. I have to burn some CDs.

Sooooooooooo

VCU School of Business is hiring summer interns and doesn't need student workers anymore SO I HAVE NO JOB :[ I should've seen that coming since they never hired another person to replace Allison and all the other student workers (I was the only one). I'm making my resume and submitting it to Red Salon, though (they have an open receptionist position). HOPEFULLY THAT'LL WORK OUT.

what

But more importantly, I GOT A NEW CAR! It's a 2004 Toyota Solara and its name is Tigerlily :) I've been gone from the internet all weekend just zooming around in my new car. So stoked. I drove up to NoVA and hung out with Kailie, Tyler and Jenni. We were supposed to see Iron Man last night but we got wasted instead.

I've been pretty depressed/having anxiety attacks lately, but right now I feel pretty good.

My parents are coming down this weekend to help me find a car. So I will probably have a car by Sunday. YES. I've been making Evan drive me to work haha :( Ricky still has my bike and he uses it, so I didn't want to make him give it up. He was going to let me use his car but the battery is dead and he hasn't had enough money to buy a new one.

I thought my media graphics final class was yesterday so I showed up and mounted my pieces but IT'S NOT TIL NEXT WEDNESDAY. The 2 people from my class that were there were like "...Why are you doing that now?" and I was like "WUT."

This shitty terrible semester is almost over thank God. I can start afresh with my two Summer school courses (Intro to Advertising and Stat 210). I'm taking mostly all Advertising classes next Fall (and a Lit class). So I will finally feel like I'm actually IN my major.

My GPA has suffered blows. It used to be a 3.6 and now it's a 3.2. WTF IS WRONG WITH ME?

Let's fucking admire my work for once

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:02:49 GMT

Look at this fucking beautiful poster I made for my media graphics final:

We were supposed to make a band gig poster. I chose M83 because they make beautiful music and I wanted to make a beautiful poster. I took that picture of the tree + bench (located in Oregon Hill). This is one of the only times I have ever used my own photography for a design project instead of just using stock photography. The background gradient took forever to line up correctly, too. And if you notice, the bottom is supposed to be sunrise and the top sunset. ANNNNDDDD don't worry, I didn't place all of those stars by hand, I downloaded a handy night sky brush. The type at the top has a nice glow to it (actually a drop shadow but I used to the "vivid light" blend). This has been the only time where the picture in my head is the picture that ends up being the final product.

I am pretty God damn proud of myself. I am amazing.

Patrick Simkins, you better appreciate this.

The car search is on. I'm going to go look at a BMW (for $9000) on Saturday. Hopefully it won't be shitty. Maybe a BMW is too ostentatious. I did go look at a VW Jetta the other day, but it turned out to be a manual. And I'm not trying to learn how to drive stick. It was only $1500, too. Ugh.

I'm trying to see Baby Mama either today or on Sunday.

We went to Strawberry Hill Races and it was way more trouble than it was worth. Of course I dressed up and got really into it. I wore a giant hat. It was great. I'm definitely not going next year though.

New Ladytron CD! AANNNNNND new m83! Hell yeah.
