giggly in green

Posted in Sunday, March 30, 2008
I don't know if it's just Erin and I but have you ever noticed how certain clothes/accessories change your entire outlook for the day? For example, the both of us have a collection of cardigans that take any crappy day and make it much less crappy. Same with bracelets or specific earrings that are totally necessary when turning a day around.
Tonight is my friend Thielen's birthday and as I was getting ready I realized all of my jeans were in the dryer and no where near dry. So I'm forced to dress down my green dress with gray leggings, black boots, a light blue/green cardigan, little makeup and my "sexy secretary" glasses. All of a sudden my boring day of cleaning and doing laundry has turned in to a minty explosion of possibilities. Throw on this sweet bracelet from my mom and a funky ring and I'm good to go. 
No one needs to know that my hair totally turned out awful and that's why it's up or that I really planned on wearing jeans and a black top and feel un peu over dressed or despite all of my effort to avoid it, I recently caught my brother's cold that he caught from me who I originally might have gotten from Christine, and I've been all kinds of gross today. No one will have any idea, except for the very who read this. 
And now that Christine and Pete are on their way and my jeans are most likely dry, I don't feel like changing. I think I'm going to run with my thrown together minty concoction. Yeah I've referenced mint twice now... must be a spring thing.

I feel like I'm destined to be a professional intern, at least I'm good at it.

Blame it on the "tapestry"

Posted in Monday, March 24, 2008
I was on facebook tonight and so were a few of my roommates. We were chatting back and forth about how lame we are and how sad life is without our friends around. I'm so thankful for the friends I have but because we've made such strong relationships and have relied so heavily on them it's hard to do anything with out that support system. Have we become completely codependent and if that's true, then how long is it going to take for any of us to adjust to what we no longer have? 
And the ultimate nightmare, are we destined to become the random alumni that hang out during Oktoberfest a little too long and drink at Joe's/Pour Haus/Goat next to first-years and the fourth-year boys supplying them with alcohol in hopes of a hook up? Yikes!

I still feel like I am that first-year out with her new friends and getting in to trouble on the weekends. I miss the adventures we had, like when one of our roommates got pissed and ditched Jodie and I in Iowa City and we had to sleep at this random dude's apartment because we didn't know where our friend lived or like... Saint Patrick's Day(any year), or going to this guy's farm for a crazy party and being so hung-over that when the Amish people glared from their buggies on the ride home you can't help but feel guilty. 

It takes an amazing and talented group of girls to go to Eucharist (church) on a Wednesday night, hit up the town bars and still find time to be in every campus organization possible without being totally lame. Even thoughts of boring things like going to the caf, meal transfers, studying and taking out the recycling make me a little sad. 
I love and miss you girls so much and I hope we can see each other soon!

buttons and piercings

Posted in Friday, March 21, 2008
This old lady told me I was as cute as a button the other day. I don't know how I feel about this because there are a lot of questionable buttons out there. 
If my grandma said this to me I'd have no second thoughts, she has great taste. Like last year for my birthday she found this awesome polka dot mini dress and she's always sending me nail polish, funky scarves, antiques she finds in her garage, random tubes of mascara and money for my student loans that I can't afford to start paying back. My grandma is so kick ass she even asked me when I'm planning on re-piercing my nose because she misses "that cute little sparkle." Yay for amazing grandma's.

Barbie

What is it about bright nail polish that puts me in such a good mood? 
It kind of looks like I went to taste the Skittles rainbow but before I made it there rainbow brite and friends attacked me with a bottle of Barbie's nail polish and I love it. Hot pink nails for everyone!

I dare you not to love this

Posted in Thursday, March 20, 2008
I love Perez Hilton because he's ridiculous. He posted this video recently and I love it. I think every girl dates a guy like this once or twice and because of that, I'm dedicating this to my lovely best friend's ex-boyfriends. 
Enjoy :)

Bright And Sunny

Posted in Thursday, March 20, 2008

So last night I was in a down mood. Then today I slept in awesomely late and I have more energy and optimism than a cup of coffee. Which is going to come in handy because I'm working the Avril Pre-Show tonight and you know I'll need to channel my inner cheerleader for this one.
A lot of people absolutely hate this chick and I can see why. She doesn't really play anything, she married the lead singer of sum41 and she's little miss pop music. That said, her songs are like crack. You know it comes on the radio and you're like "ugh man" ... five seconds later you're bouncing around your car at a red light next to some 16 year old doing the same thing. Oh the shame, oh those damn catchy songs... I can't help but want to find a skater boy and hate on his girlfriend.
So if you'd like to win tickets to this glittery pop explosion or you're in the market for a Semi-Pro poster, I'll be handing out free shit at O'Donovan's tonight.
