like a virginal nun i must get back in the habit

Sigh. Where to begin? Life got crazy with normal crazy things, then it got crazier with not so normal crazy things and now it seems to be just normal crazy again, so I really need to buckle down and dedicate some time to ye olde bloge, because I really did enjoy this when I was writing consistently.

The first thing I want to mention is that the new Wii game Boom Blox is off the fucking chain. It’s old school addicting and not since Katamari Damacy have I counted down the hours until I get home so that I can play more. I even play by myself which shows you how much fun it is! It’s sort of like jenga in a video game, but way more fun and exciting and I guess it was created with the help of Steven Speilburg so that’s a nice stamp of success.

My second shout out is to the Gillette Breeze. I’m not one to talk about products (am I?) but this razor is the shit. It takes off where that nasty, cakey Intuition razor (remember the Jewel song in the commercial?) left off.

I had to try it because ultimately I want my life to be as simple as possible and the fact that you don’t have to slap on soap or shaving cream on made me want to try it. So this razor is surrounding by this weird gel and the point is the hair slides off like butter! It’s heaven!

In other news, saw Sex and the City and cried like 14 times (like chest heaving cries), we almost lost my grandpa, I’m trying to convince Nicki to let me bring home a third kitten and my bestest work friend is going on maternity leave soon so I’m super bummed.

We are spending the weekend in San Diego with Jayna and Paul so I’m excited because I’m always up for laying on the beach like a sloth doing nothing. Also in top news Jayna is graduating on Friday with her AA degree!! WHOOP WHOOP! I am proud of her!

xo.

Click on the above link to see my fundraising effort to get money for school! Thanks party people! The minimum donation is $10 and on top of that my birthday is coming up in March so you can just tell me its for that (DAVID YOU CHEAPSKATE!).

It goes like this…my goal is $500. Your donations are considered “pledges.” If I don’t raise $500 by the specified date then I don’t get anything :( and you all get your money back.

I just don’t wanna have to drop out of school like I did in undergrad. That sucked big time!

Besos!

i am not dead.

i have been having a rough month or so.

i am happy to have been around family a lot lately.

i still find joy in school and work.

i am thrilled that it’s cold enough at night to put the little heater on in the room.

i just purchased lubriderm’s new “intense skin repair” lotion and it has been keeping my skin moist and amazing for 24 hours just like it said it would.

i like when things and people do/say what they say thing will.

i had a fantastic day after thanksgiving thanksgiving dinner with my mom and bev today. screw black angus thanksgiving dinner. next year my mom and i are doing it all ourselves if need be, just so we don’t have to eat bad food with a jillion other families.

i like staying up late lounging in jams watching dvd’s and doing whatever i feel like.

i like max laying here keeping me warm.

Last fall in Jena, LA the day after two Black high school students sat beneath the “white tree” on their campus, nooses were hung from the tree. When the superintendent dismissed the nooses as a “prank,” more Black students sat under the tree in protest. The District Attorney then came to the school accompanied by the town’s police and demanded that the students end their protest, telling them, “I can be your best friend or your worst enemy… I can take away your lives with a stroke of my pen.”
 
A series of white-on-black incidents of violence followed, and the DA did nothing. But when a white student was beaten up in a schoolyard fight, the DA responded by charging six black students with attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

The noose-hanging incident and the DA’s visit to the school set the stage for everything that followed. Racial tension escalated over the next couple of months, and on November 30, the main academic building of Jena High School was burned down in an unsolved fire. Later the same weekend, a black student was beaten up by white students at a party. The next day, black students at a convenience store were threatened by a young white man with a shotgun. They wrestled the gun from him and ran away. While no charges were filed against the white man, the students were later arrested for the theft of the gun.

That Monday at school, a white student, who had been a vocal supporter of the students who hung the nooses, taunted the black student who was beaten up at the off-campus party and allegedly called several black students “nigger.” After lunch, he was knocked down, punched and kicked by black students. He was taken to the hospital, but was released and was well enough to go to a social event that evening.

For those of you who don’t know, the Jena 6 are Six Black Jena High students, Robert Bailey (17), Theo Shaw (17), Carwin Jones (18), Bryant Purvis (17), Mychal Bell (16) and an unidentified minor, were expelled from school, arrested and charged with second-degree attempted murder. The first trial ended in June, and Mychal Bell, who has been in prison since December, was convicted of aggravated battery and conspiracy to commit aggravated battery (both felonies) by an all-white jury in a trial where his public defender called no witnesses. During his trial, Mychal’s parents were ordered not to speak to the media and the court prohibited protests from taking place near the courtroom or where the judge could see them.

There are white-supremisist groups that are now posting the address and phone numbers of these kid’s homes on their websites, “in case anyone wants to deliver justice.” These families are now under constant attack. These kids and their families need our help please follow the link below to demand that Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco get involved to make sure that justice is served and that DA Reed Walters drop the charges against all six young men.

across the universe obsession will not die.

So just when my obsession was dying down, I peeped the arclight website after nicki and i were evacuated the other night to see if we were going to be offered any specials…when what do i see!! A promo saying that on Friday September 21st, the cast of the movie was going to introduce the movie and have a sing along. Now, the sing along I could do without (there was practically one during the god damned movie anyways thanks to some theatre fags behind us (and I can say that so don’t get your fucking panties in a bunch), BUT the cast…UGklanv;onio;rgnoiwgh DAMMIT!

This means I missed Jim Sturgess in all his glory! He stars as Jude and as you will see in the trailer below he is quite the dreamboat! I may just be saying this because we have the same haircut and look like we could potentially be related (in a weird British way) therefore it is some sort of “self-obsessed-we-look-alike-and-you-find-people-that-look-like-you-attractive” thing. Who knows, anyways, not the point. He hasn’t been in anything really, this seems to be his first big thing. The kid doesn’t even have an official fan site yet! It’s so on! By tomorrow www.emilyhatesyou.com will be www.theofficialjimsturgessfansite.com.

SIIIIIIIIIKE.

The point is people - if you like the Beatles a lot and can semi-tolerate musicals I think you’ll be into it. I was surprised at how well their renditions of Beatles songs were and was actually really glad they were different because it made it more interesting. Okay, I’m boring myself. I’m not cut out for movie reviews. I just liked the movie okay? FUCK!

If you go see it please take me okay? Nicki liked it, but not enough to see it again.

Ok, i’m going to keep this as short as possible. Look, I’m just as confused as all of you. But unlike some of you, I see Britney’s decline as a personal attack on my dedication as a fan. I mean, I totally put myself out there when it was NOT cool or cute for someone like me to like this little pop tart. But you see Britney, I’ve had my eye on you since you were a wee lass. I’m not gonna lie and say we go as far back as the Mickey Mouse Club, cuz I’ totally be fronting, but “Hit Me Baby One More Time” hit mtv when I was in college and I was totally rooting for you…especially when you hit the cover of Rolling Stone all half nakie and stuff! How naughty!

So here it was, your first performance on the vma’s 8 years ago. You shared the stage with your bf at the time (no one cared about him yet, cuz it was all about you girl). Sigh…the memories…

So this was Britney’s first solo performance when everyone started to say “oh-la-la” and I was like “SEEEEEE!!!” But it wasn’t just that she was super cute, her stage presence and dancing ability blew me away. She was the dancer I always wished I had been. I was the classically trained ballerina who always wanted to shake it and here she was doing exactly that. She was young, talented and had so much ahead of her…

But I’m not gonna lie. I alway said Christina had the voice that would make her have lasting power, but if Britney could reel it in somehow and keep the dancing new and amazing she could hang in there too. You think I didn’t notice she has the voice of a 9 year old child? duh…

exhibit c: 2001 vma’s (and my personal fav)

So a year has passed and it’s getting harder and harder to explain why I’m hanging onto my love for Brit. She hasn’t come out with ANYTHING lately and with singles like, “Email me your heart,” I’m having a really rough time defending my little bundle of talent over here. Oh and did I mention her and Justin are on the rocks? Jesus…throw me a bone here Brit.

Then she did. She threw me “Slave 4 U.” Omg did she! People who never gave her the time of day before were like…”well shit, I could dance to this song.” I rejoiced. Then it happened. 2001 vmas. Performance of a fucking LIFETIME people. No joke.
Now don’t get me wrong, she’s still a total moron. But what do you expect from a girl who never graduated from high school (by choice) and is from the south…well I’M SORRY but its true. Plus my gays on the inside are giving me the low down and not only is she NOT the virgin she’s claiming to be (DUH!) but she is doing ecstasy with her dancers and getting horrible fairy’s tattoo’d on her hip. GAH! ok, so she’s acting out, no biggie…

she’s still got the moves don’t she???

the infamous kiss.

the singing again is almost unbearable, but at least she is actually singing and hey, she looks amazing! this is also during christina’s “xtina” phase that we will not speak of except to say that many a boob job and piercings were involved. this was her way of rebelling so ok, we got it. you’ve got black hair, you are so dark and goth….luckily she’s back to us today, married, blonde and knocked up!

so i know you have all seen it, but in case you haven’t or you need to review, please, someone help me out. i have heard all the possible reasons for why this could be, so don’t bore me. I know them all. From late nights, to enough xanax to kill a horse, to sarah silverman (god bless her!) to britney seeing herself on screen and freaking out cuz she thought she looked fat.

IT JUST DOESN’T ADD UP!!

This is beyond child star gone ary. This is like total psychotic breakdown. I’m not trying to sound like that psycho gay boy on the “leave britney aloooooooooone” videos, cuz i’m totally intrigued by all of this, but at the same time I do feel bad on like a human level.

I mean just look at her face. She looks so confused and lost. She does not know the choreography to save her life. She looks like me in a way too advanced commercial dance class. I’ve had that look - she’s thinking, “I want to die because I used to be as good as all of these young bitches (back up dancers) and now i’m shitty.” GAH! I feel her pain…BUT WAIT! Pull it together dude, you’re Britney Spears! There is no excuse for this. You writhed around half naked with snakes at the VMAs! All I did was perform for half time shows at high school basketball games!! Omg. Did you know she had acrylics missing too!! Look at her dead eyes. Is there really no one home? Did having babies ruin her? I mean, I have never been pro-having babies but I didn’t realize it could do THIS to you!! Was it K-fed (and no i don’t mean my old upstairs neighbor)? Was it a controlling mother? Was it too many drugs?? What the fuck dude. Seriously. I want to just sit with her for 10 minutes and I’ll be done. I can stop wondering and move on.

For those of you who aren’t dancers or performers of some sort, let me break it down for you…

Performing isn’t something you forget. You either have it or you don’t. Also - you don’t forget how to do it, it’s like riding a bike - once you’ve got it you never forget. Which is why I cannot comprehend how she can go from sexy snake hip poppin and lockin fly girl to this shitty shell of a girl with dead eyes. I feel really bad that no one can help her. Its one of those things where wealthy people end up surrounding themselves with people who don’t really care about them, but only care about the $$$.

I miss my old britney. Yeah i was embarassed to own a britney watch from japan, but I still wore it proudly in 2000 cuz look at what she did on stage, she was amazing. She was a born performer and although she was a god damned idiot in interviews, it was almost charming. She was my little alcohol fetal baby syndrome britney (yes i am convinced mama spears drank while preggos with her - look at how far apart those alien eyes are! still beautiful with enough make up though!).

Okay. This has been building up for awhile folks. And you know how I am about my pop culture. Britney was the pinochle of my pop culture castle and now its all crumbled and no one can come over. Boo hoo for me. Maybe you shouldn’t even watch this after all…
