| it's interesting how society has changed |
[Sep. 28th, 2007|12:00 pm] |
I was watching top model the other day and Tyra made the personal decision for the girls to quit smoking. Which I found to be interesting. Now my mother, thought it was great and that if I was not a smoker I would feel the same way... but I don't know. To me it is just interesting how society standards have changed over the years. So I got a wild-hair to search for some vintage cigarette commercials.

| Divorce Filing Party |

If I have a Divorce Filing Party, who would make the trek to Riverside?
I am thinking we could do the university pubcrawl... it's like the anti-bachelorette party... and if I wait until the divorce is finalized- it will be in the midst of Hayley's wedding super planning.
The papers should be arriving today... I am signing them when I get back from Manhattan Beach and overnighting that shit back to Jeffry. Everything should be taken care of by friday! I am so excited! After 8 months of waiting I am finally getting my divorce.
Sooo who is in and what days are best for everybody?
[Unknown LJ tag]
I have been workin with a Personal Trainer for a week. Hayley and I have been exercising quite a bit on top of that. It's really nice to have a diet buddy. I joke about wanting to look like an olsen twin- but in reality.. I just want to be healthy and toned... I figure losing weight this way will make my body look how it is supposed to, as opposed to being a malnourished stick figure like I was when I was vegan.
Anyhow, I am scheduled to go 3 times a week for 3 months and I will probably stick with it for a year. My parents are paying for the first 3 months though, so that's nice. Since I don't have to pay rent- I can afford to invest in myself. |

Whoever is sending my journal entries to my ex-husband please knock it the FUCK off.
It's a journal. I will say how I feel on my journal and vent. Does that mean that you guys need to take screencaps or copy and paste my entries- NO.
That is bullshit. If you don't want to hear rants about my personal life, feel free to let me know and I will gladly remove you from my friends' list.
As matter of fact, I am going to delete some friends. If I delete you, and you still want to be my friend, you can let me know. |

| passport shiznit. |
[Jun. 21st, 2007|05:13 pm] |
So I went today and got my passport photos taken. Which they did not let me smile in. I really look best when I am smiling, so none of the guys that work at customs are going to have crushes on me. bummer :-(
But on another note.
Tomorrow I am going in to get my passport taken care of. i figure it's about time anyhow, because I want to go to england with boonie and careerwise it is just a better situation. I mean who knows when I am going to get a call that would require me to go somewhere as close at Mexico and me having to decline it because I don't have a passport.
Besides I am pretty sure I can write it off as a business expense. |

So early this morning, my cousin Teagan went to her ex-boyfriends house. Because he had been hounding her and telling her that he needs to talk to her. She shows up and he asks if she has slept with anybody since they broke up (6 months ago), she says "yes". He goes into the bedroom, comes out with a gun and tries to shoot himself in the head. But apparently there was some problem with it, and it didn't fire. So Teagan tried to wrestle the gun out of his hand. She doesn't get it away from him and he shots himself in the head in front of her.
I can't even believe this happened. My cousin is 18 fucking years old. The most sensitive, beautiful and sweet girl on the planet and now she has this huge emotional weight to deal with. I can't even imagine seeing something like this- let alone having somebody do it purposely in front of me and to blame me for it.
I thought I knew him and that he was a solid guy. But apparently he was obsessed with my cousin. Very controlling. And on top of the the emotional issues he already had, he could not deal with them breaking up.
Right now I am so thankful that he didn't try to kill her. I mean, in all honesty. She is very lucky. I mean even if he didn't try to on purpose, when she was trying to get the gun away from him- something could have gone awry.
The most bizarre things happen to my family.
But she is dealing with it like a champ and trying to stay positive. I called her just to let her know I was here for her. I was on the brink of tears, just hearing the sadness in her voice. I told her that, she is going to need time to process what happened, but whenever she wants to talk to somebody to call me. |

| standards |
[May. 22nd, 2007|12:06 pm] |
I have been even more obsessed with standards lately than I usually am.
I would be so happy to have a gig at a swanky bar just singing standards and interacting with the crowd. If I had all the money in the world- that's what I would do.
I love singing and I love doing make-up.
But here are a few songs that I have been really into lately with the lyrics under the cut:

So yesterday was quite the day.
I left for LA around 1pm to meet Alex (girl) to do her make-up for her gallery exhibit. (P.s., if anybody has a subscription to Wireimage and wants to snag some for me ;) )
It went really well. I picked up Erica at work at 6 and then we headed to Santa Monica to the gallery. It was a cool show, really well put together. All of the work was displayed beautifully.
After that I drove Erica home and hung out with her and Alex (boy). So I finally met the elusive Alex.
I got home around 2:30am- but I had a redbull on the way to stay up, so I couldn't sleep until almost 6am. So suffice it to say, I feel like a zombie.
It was a good night.
The work that I did with Alex for the show is some of my most fulfilling work. I don't know what it is, but everytime we work together I get shots that are amazing and quickly become my favorites. |

[Apr. 3rd, 2007|12:31 pm] |
I just realized how many friends that I have known for YEARS in San Diego... but have not seen once since I moved here....
I take full responsibility for this.
If anybody wants to hang out, call me. |

So, I just found out that my dads cancer, which has been in remission for years has spread to his bones. And I am completely beside myself. I really don't know what I am going to do. |
