Diane = Great

I haven't seen Diane in what seems like forever... but we hung out tonight, is the point... and had buckets of fun.

Basically all we did was go to the Cheesecake Factory, but what an adventure!! I'm not going to recap the whole evening, but I'll discuss some of the highlights. Apparently if you go to wikipedia and search for "list of idioms" you'll find a huge, huge and great list of idioms which I'm excited to check out after I finish writing this. One of which, and one I thoroughly enjoy, is "[something] is like nailing jelly to a wall." So, for example, "Trying to get my dad and my mom to be civil is like nailing jelly to a wall." Now if that isn't great I really don't know what is.

I can't believe how much fun I have with Diane... if you don't know her, you seriously need to reconsider your life, because I'll say this right now: you're missing out. You know how some people say "you're not missing much" about some things? Well it doesn't apply to Diane... it's quite the opposite in her case. I like how this entry is turning out to a Diane Shrine & Tribute.

Anyway I'll move on... so I believe I posted (maybe on myspace and not my blog, but posted nevertheless) the nutrigrain commercial I love so much, and encouraged many of you to check it out as well. Well, low and behold, earlier this week a man by the name of James Leary comes walking into SpeedReels (where I work) to have his reel edited. Didn't know him from Adam... but what's one of the things he pulls out to edit into his reel? Yeah, the nutrigrain commercial... he's the lead guy, and I instantly become one of those star-struck idiots telling how much I LOVE the commercial blah blah blah.

Anyway... it was just funny and I thought I'd share. I wanted to tell Jordan since he was the one to initially showed it to me and would most appreciate it... but yeah that didn't happen. The point is, I met the guy... it was exciting, and now, back by popular demand... THE NUTRIGRAIN COMMERCIAL!!!

Part-ay!

Our party this past Saturday was a success... but I'm a little disappointed in some of my friends.

Yes, it's true... people can't be blamed for things that are out of their hands, like... having promised a friend to go to a concert with them that night or, USC's football game on the same day. But let's be reasonable... everyone had PLENTY of notice for this event, and the SC football game was at like 2:30 or something ridiculously early, leaving ample time to make it to the party on time, or at least relatively early... and yet that still didn't happen.

And this kind of excuse for people not showing up/coming extremely late didn't just happen to a few people here and there... it pretty much happened across the board. And I thought, at first... no problem. Whatever. And then it hit me... I was PISSED OFF. I'm still pissed. I'm so, so, so mad at everyone that I don't really want to talk to or see most of my friends right now. Is that wrong? I don't care.

Besides most of my friends being dicks this weekend... the party was fun, and I enjoyed the rest of the weekend as well. This week, however, has been another story. It has basically felt like 10 Monday's in a row already, and Thursday hasn't even started yet. I would say I'm going to stop bitching now, but you're not getting off that easy. I have things to say and you're going to read them, by God.

I was putting up some pictures on myspace from the party this weekend... and I realized how horribly, really truly horribly non-photogenic I am. There's no fucking way any of those pictures were going up without some MAJOR retouching all over my stupid face. What the fuck? I blame my parents. Why, you ask? Because instead of putting their foot down when I was young and getting me on acutane (esp since it would've been REALLY cheap through military insurance), they let those jerk doctors put me on pills and topical cremes that never ever worked... and if anything made my face a hideous medical disaster.

I stayed late at work yesterday for a client that HAD to get her reel edited, and my boss said I could come in late this morning to compensate... and instead of getting extra sleep, I've stayed up all night and it's now 6am. WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with me? Anyone? Crazy... I'm seriously crazy or mentally unstable or have syphilis or something. Anyway, I have a bunch of new music since the last time I wrote, which was ages ago... so I'll have to start writing a bunch of new entries just to share my new musical finds with ya'll.
