[01 Dec 2009|10:52pm] |
I still have to update about the days since Thanksgiving.
First, a couple videos. Dom finally sent me the videos he took from Thanksgiving. I hope they don’t somehow find this online and kill me for posting them… ( Read more... )
Friday – I forget? Oh yeah. I just stayed in for the day… probably recovering from Thanksgiving, haha. Then Carol, Ariana, and Justin stopped by that night.
Saturday – I forget what I did during the day, but at night was fun. First, it was Jo’s birthday and she and Jack asked us if we wanted to go to Uno’s with her for dinner. Jen, Mike, Justin and I had already planned on hanging out together that night, but instead on going to a restaurant we were planning on going, we said we would join Jo. We assumed it would be Jack, Rory, Jo and a bunch of Jo’s friends.
That didn’t quite work out though. First Jo didn’t give us a straight answer about what was going on. She said “around 7 or 8” and so we basically just waited around ‘til 7 or so and then seeing where Jo was then. She had gone to the movies and was now hanging out with her friends in Porchester. ??? Thanks. Then she was just like, “Well you guys go to Uno’s and I’ll stop by later.” We were like WTF? Because we thought this was going to be a birthday thing for her. Now she just wanted us to go there by ourselves? We didn’t get it and we weren’t gonna around all night for her. She constantly does this, btw. She always tells us she wants to hang out with us, but never does because her friends control her. And like tonight, she invited us to do something and then bailed out.
So we decided just to go with the four of us. We went to Pizza & Brew. Yay for their paninis! I’m obsessed. Mike, Just and I got them again as usual, and Jen got something else. Also, Johnny was there (we missed him last time) and had time to sit and talk with us for a few minutes.
Then when we were done, after speaking with Jo again and making sure she was actually at Uno’s, we decided we would meet her there and perhaps get dessert there or something. First, we stopped in the galleria ‘cause Michael had to get something. We looked at the Christmas decorations in Sears and contemplated whether we should get the Charlie Brown light-up characters, the penguin orgy, or the Christmas zebra… LOL. We didn’t get any.
Then we went to meet Jo at Uno’s around 9 or so, right across from the galleria. First, she said they were at the back table… and she wasn’t… we walked through the whole restaurant, lol. But we found her eventually on the OTHER side.
I was surprised to see that NONE of her friends were there. It was all Jack and Rory’s friends… it was odd. But whatevs. The five of us got our own table. Jo ordered something to eat since she hadn’t had any dinner yet. Justin ordered a dessert and the rest of us ordered drinks. We hung out for about an hour and then headed to my house to hang out for a little bit more.
Great night!
I’ll write about the rest of the week tomorrow or next time. G’night!

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I know I sure did.
I didn’t really sleep at all the night before (what else is new?) so instead of waking up early to watch the parade, I slept in ‘til about 11:30. I mean, I recorded both parades and could watch them at anytime anyway, so I didn’t have to get up. Plus, I mainly just like to see the Broadway performances and just fast forward through the rest, I can’t sit through them for the entire time. So I watch them and then had to get ready to go to my aunt’s house.
Me and my sister have our little tradition of watching the movie Pieces of April on Thanksgiving, but we didn’t have time for that since we both didn’t get up as early as we usually do. I ended up watching it the next day without her. (Btw, I had no idea that John Gallagher Jr. played the brother! haha, he so great in it). So I just watched the parades. Also, why the hell wasn’t March of the Wooden Soldiers on this year? That’s a crime.
We went to my Aunt Linda’s and it was pretty much the same people as last year: me, my dad, sister, aunt Linda, Johnny, Dom and Tara, Charlie, Gail, and two additional guests: Steve and Ellie. My mom had to work. =(

I'm actually surprised at how much I talked about in this.
Have you ever been in a situation where you were reading a friend's entry about things that are going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute... since when are they working there? Since when are they dating him/her? Since when does she have a cat? Since when..." And then you wonder how you could have missed all the seemingly standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like information you should already know? It happens to all of us. If you've ever been in that situation concerning an entry in my journal, this is for you.
Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.
( Read more... )
Feel free to comment and be sure to do this yourself in your journal! Also, if anyone is interested in hearing more about something that I mentioned, ask away. =)

I hate my sister so much. She treats our family like shit, uses people in our family, and only cares about herself and her friends. What she did tonight was just an example of how she acts everyday. She makes me sick.
I’ve always wish for a different sibling. Even when I was a kid, I wanted someone else as my sibling instead of her. I am jealous that Mike and Justin are close brothers, Aimee and Christina are close sisters, Donna/Bea, Amanda/Krysta, Dawn/Tommy, Sam/Ant, etc. I am jealous that I don’t have a sibling to talk to and hang out with. I am jealous every time I see them these other pairs doing things together and even just talking nicely to each other like a comment to each other on facebook or something. Why am I stuck with the bitchiest, most conceited sister? Can I trade her for a different brother or sister?

Today I gave Sienna Miller a dollar and she thanked me in her adorable accent. And Jonny Lee Miller looks damn fine without any clothes on, if I do say so.
More coming soon.

I should really update more than once a week. Even though life’s so boring for me right now, the days and weeks go by so quickly.
I had an interview on Wednesday and I’m keeping my fingers crossed. It would be a really good job for me.
Jon came over tonight to try to help us with the Xbox. We (he) did pretty well with it, but then we had to stop because we didn’t have the right screw driver. A certain one and size is needed for some screws. We had to stop everything over a stupid little screw driver, haha. So my dad is going to buy one tomorrow and Jon will hopefully have time tomorrow night to come by again and perhaps we could get it done. I really hope we’re able to fix it. I mean, it’s worth a try before having to give a couple hundred dollars for Microsoft to fix it or for a new one. I just want to play it. And I really want that Band Hero game – it has a bunch of songs me and Jen are familiar with – T-Swift, Spice Girls, Maroon 5 – we need to play it! And I’d also love the Rock Band Beatles game.
I have to talk about Riding in Cars with Boys. I just finished the book and I have a few things to say about it. ( Read more... )

Yesterday was fun. First, I stayed up all night Friday. Don’t ask me how or why I do this all the time, I don’t know. But at least I was up early to run some errands. Got those things out of the way.
I had to run to the hardware store to pick up some supplies. My Xbox 360 broke and I am going to attempt to fix it myself (with the help of Jon and his brother). If not, we are going to have to fork over the money to send it back to Microsoft for a new one. I don’t care at this point. I just want it fixed asap and my sister (who is the reason it broke in the first place) and my dad aren’t any help at all, so I have to do everything by myself. And if we do have to pay to send it to Microsoft ($140 plus shipping), I’m definitely not paying it. The main reason I’m mad is because when my sister’s webcam broke, she and my dad went through all this trouble day after day to get it fixed. And now they don’t give a shit about this or even make a slight effort to help me. So thanks.
Other than that, yesterday was awesome because Mike was home for the weekend. Mike, Justin, Jen and I all went to Pizza and Brew for dinner. I can’t believe how much Mike and Justin love Glee! They were playing it in the car to and from the restaurant and at times throughout the rest of the night, haha. Jen needs to get into it now. She would love it too.
The restaurant was a lot of fun. We talked about just about everything. We had a lot to catch up on and a lot of gossip to cover, lol.
We all went back to my house after. Jen told them about the games on sporcle.com (go check it out!) so I got my laptop to show them and we actually ended up playing games on there for literally the rest of the night. We tried beating some games together and then we decided to split up into to two teams (me and Mike vs. Jen and Justin) and see who could get more answers. Then we created are own, haha. And I baked cookies for everyone. Good times.

| The Understudy - Thursday November 5, 2009 opening night |
[06 Nov 2009|06:36pm] |
Thursday night I got to attend the opening night of The Understudy, one of Roundabout’s off-broadway shows playing right now. It stars Justin Kirk, Julie White, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar (most well-known for playing Zack Morris on Saved By the Bell, I must’ve heard that about 100 times last night haha).
In short: I loved it! This review will be pretty short since it was a short play and how many times can I say that I loved it?

| Bye Bye Birdie - Wednesday October 28, 2009 eve |
[30 Oct 2009|09:51pm] |
So yeah… I saw Bye Bye Birdie Wednesday night. I have no idea why after all the bad reviews and all the negative comments I’ve heard about it why I still wanted to see this. It’s mostly, I admit, because of John Stamos and Gina Gershon. And I guess that why other people are still flocking to see it. But I can honestly say that I had a good time.
I failed at taking pictures before the show (of the marquee and other photos outside the theater) due to the line of people blocking them, but I’ll try to remember to take them the next time I’m by the theater.

Tomorrow night I’ll be seeing Bye Bye Birdie. Someone wrote on BWW that they had a free ticket so I emailed him to see if it was legit and well, it was! At first I was a little sketch about it, but it all worked out fine. He was a very nice man. He and his wife decided to see something else that night and they live in Maine, so they wanted to give away their ticket for free. He mailed me the ticket last Wednesday and it got here on Saturday. I was so grateful for how generous they were for doing this. I can’t thank them enough. Plus, Birdie seems to be selling pretty well and I'm not sure if hiptix would be available and even if it was, this is a much better seat. I am so happy and can't believe what a kind act they did. =)
Despite all the horrible things I’ve heard about this production, I’m still actually pretty excited to see it. At least now with lower expectations, I shouldn’t be disappointed. I will just try to have fun.
I remember my music teacher in middle school made us watch the movie (I can’t remember if it was the original or the remake, probably the original), but I don’t remember if I liked it or not. I guess I liked it, I just don’t remember anything about it. I still recognize the songs and am familiar with the story, but it’ll still be nice to see something new, or um.. partly new.
I’ll admit that I’m mostly excited to see John Stamos and Gina Gershon, who seem to be getting the worst reviews of all, but oh well. Come on, it’s Uncle Jessie and (to me…) Corky from Bound! At the Tonys, when John Stamos came out to present, a bunch of people around me all went, “Ohhh Uncle Jessie!” like in unison, lmao.

Very busy weekend!
Saturday my aunt from Virginia came up. I slept in ‘til about 11:30. That’s the latest I’ve slept ‘til in forever. I didn’t feel like getting ready at all so I just went online for awhile. Annette arrived at around 12 I think. I heard the doorbell ring. Supposedly she called upstairs to me, but I didn’t hear anything at all so I didn’t answer and she just assumed I was sleeping. I finally went downstairs around 1 and she wasn’t there. She apparently took my grandma out to lunch (and I think Jack went with them too). I wasn’t really in the mood to see anybody and go out and about just yet, but afterwards I kinda regret not going with them because they went to Pizza and Brew, lol. And got to see Johnny too. Damn. Oh well.
My parents and sister were gone all morning for a college visit. So I had the house to myself. =)
I just caught up on some DVRed shows and relaxed until Annette and my grandma got back. And soon after my parents and sister got back too. And soon after THAT, other people came over. Nan, Dawn, Phil and all the kids. The kids are so cute. I try not to favor any of them over the others, but… Alyssa is just the cutest, funniest thing! She didn’t want to leave, she wanted to stay with me and Jen, haha.
They only stayed for about an hour maybe. We spent the rest of the night with Annette… watching TV, playing a game online together, got pizza for dinner and put on the Brady Bunch movie. Actually the sequel, A Very Brady Sequel, lol. Loves it.
Gary, Cheryl, and Jaclyn came by too for awhile. After everyone left, my sister and I watched Changeling because she hadn’t seen it yet. I got it again from the library and burned it so I can keep it.
Sunday was the party for my Grandma’s 85th birthday. It was at some restaurant near where Dawn and Tommy live… AKA in the middle of nowhere. Seriously. The restaurant wasn’t even that good. It was tiny, we were the only people there, the food was just ok, the service was bad. W.T.F?
It was really fun though, the party itself. I was happy to see everyone again. We love reminiscing with Nan about that night at Next to Normal. She tells everyone how depressing it is, lol. And I love playing with all the kids, they’re so cute. The room where the party was overlooked the water, which was gorgeous. Jason told the kids that it was “Crystal Lake” (from Friday the 13th) so Christopher and Nicholas spent a lot of time trying to spot Jason Vorhees (sp?), haha.
We were home around 5:30 I think. A little later Carol came over to do my mom’s hair, so we chatted with her for a bit. Then Jack and Rory came by. They meant to only stop in, but ended up staying a couple hours for most of the Yanks game.
I’d say it was a great weekend! =D

Broadway-related dream #1)
Last night I had a dream that I saw In the Heights with a bunch of people. The only people I remember being there with me was Jen, my mom, Aunt Linda, Bea, and Franny, lmao. ( Read more... )

These last few days have been really boring. The weather was cold and wet all weekend so that sucked. Saturday I just went to the store with my mom early and then stayed in pretty much the entire day. I didn’t want to go to the football when it was that cold. And our team got killed anyway, lol. Tony stopped by before that and said that he and Aimee were gonna give us all a call soon to hang out. I don’t know when that’s gonna actually happen, but yeah. I literally haven’t seen Aimee in a year. Wow. I miss her so damn much. We used to hang out with Tony and Aimee every single Saturday. We would go out to dinner and then come back to my house to just hang out and watch a movie. Those were the days.
Sunday was the breast cancer walk, but it was raining all morning. I don’t think it was cancelled, but no one went.
Nicky brought Christopher over my house that afternoon. He was actually really good. We had a lot of fun. My sister got a webcam for her computer (my dad still buys her anything and everything…) so we had some fun with that talking to each other while she was upstairs in her room and I was on my laptop. But the mic on her camera is dumb so the sound doesn’t work all the time.
Then around 6:30/7, everybody else came over for cake for my birthday. Donna and Nicholas, Gary, Cheryl, Jaclyn, and Rosa. It was fun. After everyone left, Rosa and Nicky stayed and it was a lot of fun talking with Rosa. She’s funny.
My mom was dumb and invited Bea. Of course she didn’t come (I’m really curious about the excuse was this time…), but if she hates me why would you invite her? My mom doesn’t know this. Like I said though, thankfully she didn’t come.
Nothing big planned for this week. Maybe I could go to the city to see another show, hopefully soon. I was going to this Sunday, but my family is having a party for my Grandma’s birthday. So hopefully another day sometime soon.

Little lamb, little lamb,
My birthday is here at last.
Little lamb, little lamb,
A birthday goes by so fast…
So yeah, today was my birthday. It was sweet and simple and that’s all I could ask for. I didn’t want it to be a big deal or anything.
My mom took me to lunch this afternoon. We went to Pizza&Brew. I wanted to make sure Johnny was working there today or else my mom said she wanted to try this new restaurant that just opened. But Johnny was indeed working so we went to P&B. I haven’t seen him in so long.
I don’t think I’ve ever been there for lunch, only dinner. We each got a different panini and they each came with soup and salad. So good! Plus, if it’s someone birthday they get their meal for free and a piece cake too. I told them not to sing for me, but Johnny made them. Johnny told me that his conversation with the waiter before they brought out the cake went as follows:
J: “Go sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to her.”
Waiter: “No, she doesn’t want us to sing.”
J: “Just sing.”
Waiter: “No, her mother told us not to.”
J: “Pfft tell her momma to come talk to me.”
LMAO. So they put a candle in the cake and sang. Cute. =P
We continued talking to Johnny for a lil’ bit after we were done. This old couple was walking out and the old man wished me a happy birthday, haha aww. And then we left. I need to see him more often!
The rest of the day was pretty normal. Gary, Cheryl and Jackie stopped by. Cheryl asked me about Hamlet – I guess she saw my pictures either on facebook or whatever. She said wanted to see it and loves Jude Law, haha. I had no idea, I would’ve gotten her a ticket to come with us. And I talked to Donna, Jason, Nicholas, and Christopher on the phone a little later. They are too funny! And lil’ Christopher is so cute.. after he wished me a happy birthday he was like, “When are you having your birthday” (I guess he meant celebrating) and I said, “This weekend.”
Him: “Am I invited?”
Me: “Yeah!”
Him :to the others not on the phone: “She said we’re invited!”
Haha, I love them.
So today was pretty good day. =)

I’ve been very busy pretty much this whole week. Let’s see…
On Monday I went to Target to pick up a couple things. Stopped in Barnes and Noble as well to check out the Wicked table. They didn’t have as many things as they did last year. I wasn’t too impressed with anything to be honest. Last year, my mom picked me out a few things because my birthday is in Oct… I got a calendar, mug, puzzle… haha. But this year I don’t really want anything. I wanted to look through the pop-up book, but there wasn’t one opened. I wouldn’t have bought it anyway, I just wanted to look through it. They also had a Wizard of Oz table which much more stuff. Nicholas would love it, haha.
Ran into Tara (Carol’s daughter) while we were there. She seemed a bit um… distressed. Which is understandable since her husband just left her for a 20 year-old Spanish chick. They have a 3-year-old daughter and now have to figure out what they’re going to do with their house, car and everything else. Fucking asshole. My mom and I feel so sorry for her.
Tuesday I don’t remember. I called back an employer who called me about a job to set up an interview. So on Wednesday I went to Staples to get one of those leather folders/portfolios that you take on job interviews. All the ones they had there weren’t exactly what I wanted and they were too expensive. They were anywhere from $25-50. Luckily, the woman working there told us to check another aisle and I found one that was perfect. I was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Plus, it was only $10.99. SWEET!
Thursday I wasn’t feeling well at all, but I’m glad I felt fine on Friday.
Friday was my interview. It’s a law firm in the city. I think it would be perfect for me because 1) It’s in the city and it’s always been my dream to work in the city, 2) The work is good, 3) It’s seems like a really great place to work… not only is it very prestigious but they’re also really family-friendly and stuff, and 4) The money will be nice. I’m not exactly sure how it went because they didn’t really ask me questions. I spoke to two different women separately and they just talked about the job. I prepared so well too. I didn’t talk that much honestly, I just asked a couple questions when they gave me a chance. I hope that doesn’t hurt me in the end because they didn’t really get to know me. All they know is basically what’s on my resume. One of the women said that they received about 800 (!) resumes, mostly due to so many people being out of a job. So I was really honored that I was one of the one chosen. The only thing is that I have no experience yet. The other woman told me that they’re not sure yet whether they want someone with experience already or if they’re willing to train someone. But I really hope it’s the latter and that it’s me. I don’t want to get my hopes up too high though, ya know. But it would be really, really good for me to get this job.
I still have more to write about, but I’ll do it another time. Jackie will be coming over soon and we’re having other company over as well.

| No use crying over spilled milk... |
[05 Oct 2009|11:52pm] |

I just spilled a glass of milk on my bed. LOL. I’ve spilled drinks on it before because I’m a clutz and idiot, but never this much. I tried drying it, but it was just too much. After a few min. it started smelling up my room. EW! So I changed my sheets. Now maybe I can finally lay down and get to sleep at a decent time, yay. =P
