MMMBop.


today is the 7 year anniversary of the morning that me and kraw got to sit in hanson's minivan at the marriot. it was a glorious morning, though we got there so early that the sun was not yet out from behind the clouds. we went into the lobby and got some starbucks coffee. adorned in my "jesus is my homeboy shirt," and sweats, we eagerly sat in the lobby staring at the check out counters. the minutes were ticking by, soon an hour had passed, no hanson. about to give up, a man with a shaved head holding a giant box walked into the lobby. kraw and i looked at each other, could it be? isaac hanson? well we soon found out. we chased this young man out of the lobby and down the front of the marriot screaming "are you isaac?!?" he angrily replied, "yes." i asked if he could sign my shirt and he seemed annoyed but willing. all of a sudden, kraw noticed zac in the back of the van and started crying hysterically. i moved over so that she could talk to him, and suddenly, my world stopped. taylor hanson opened up the van door. i sat there in shock, not knowing how to respond, then suddenly blurted out: OH MY GOD! YOU'RE TAYLOR HANSON! He laughed and said yes, and then kraw climbed in and i basically sat on taylor's lap. i asked him if we could take a picture and he laughed at me. then zac grabbed kraw's boob by accident and said "don't get me arrested." lisa also gave zac a card with her number on it. sadly he never called. taylor was a sweetheart, asking if we bought the album and thanking us a million times for stalking them. their tour manager was yelling that they were going to miss their flight, but i basically told him to fuck off and stop ruining my life dream. we were 16. this is the only photographic evidence we have.

dont watch if you have epilepsy


my friend jared showed me the new kanye album coming home from the beach, and as much as i don't like kanye as an individual, the album is pretty good. i'm dying though because the video has an epilepsy disclaimer on it. that is beyond fabulous.

you may be a lover but you aint no dancer.




i'm currently awaiting the arrival of kristen rose. these are my fave fridays. panera is a great hangover cure, though i'm not sure how three glasses of wine got me so messed up. in other news, i realized how much i love making playlists. my dream job would be to make mix cd's for a store. how awesome would it be to just be able to put together playlists that thousands of people are going to hear? i love looking up bands and putting together mix tapes. i find it therapeutic, and i love how music never fails to speak when words sometimes do. so i'm sitting in my room, with the red shades drawn and loving the light coming through, and making a mix which i'll share right here:

take me the way i am.


I want to change the world
Instead I sleep
I want to believe in more than you and me
But all that I know is I'm breathing
All I can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing now


this is the last official week of school. i finished one paper due thursday today, and started studying hardcore for my policy test. i'm not too nervous about it, maybe i should be. after studying all day, i'm going out for some sangria with ms. samantha. i think i'm just happy because this isn't as complicated as other areas of my life right now. school has that false sense of security, because as long as you do what is expected of you, you get the results. oh well.

cinco de fail.

so every cinco de mayo i think i'm going to have an awesome time. i love mexican food and i love margaritas, so why not, right? this year, i was especially excited because i knew i was going to be in the city for school and brother jimmy's has $3 margs on thursdays. but of course, i am one of those really nerdy kids who has the worst allergies in the world and walks around with their inhaler (hot). one marg deep, and i didn't think it was possible for my eyes or nose to be any itchier. sadly, i took the 945 home. maybe when kristen's home this weekend we can have a reenactment. while i was taking my nose spray (double hot), i noticed that there was a warning label attached stating, "for the nose." please tell me, where else would you stick that?? this came on on the ride home though and made me smile:
