the miseducation of...

Sorry for the lack of updates its been a crazy time since everyone's come home. Everyone is still trying to gather themselves.

this song.


Yesterday Anna and I had lunch in Silver lake at Flore yumm..


and the best coffee ever at Intelligentsia



The rest of Memorial day was spent being lazy around Maggie's pool.

Lately i've been obsessed with the movie Pirate Radio rent it! The soundtrack is phenomenal!



-Ali

Shit

I did it again. It's been forrrrrrever.

BY THE WAY. If you have not seen Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs...see it. It is the cutest, funniest movie I have seen in a long time.



It's a scratch and sniff poster!

Btw Congratulations to Smitty!! Today is her graduation from SVA! I love you!

-Selena(Eugene)

By the time you read this...

By the time you read this I will have thought of you at least 10 times.

4 days till Danielle comes home!

I'm completley obsessed with the following:

-N.V. Perricone tinted moisturizer (Light)

-Huge face watches

-Drake and Weezy

-Modal fabrics

-60's/ 70's night gowns as dresses

-Platforms



This summer is going to be out of control. Everyone is home. Everything is falling into place! I just have the most amazing feeling about this summer.


Currently watching Eternal Sunshine and not giving a shit. I don't get it. I hear a bunch of whining and Jim Carey being a pussy.

over, under, inbetween. im there .

Insight comes at the hours least condusive to being productive.

If you want something done you better figure out how to do it for yourself because you are all you've got at the end of the day.

I've never been good at patience, I've always pushed myself into everything and anything I've ever done. And it was always worth it.

I don't regret its a waste of time
"To regret ones own experiences is to arrest ones own development. To deny ones own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of ones own life. Its no less than a denial of the soul"- Oscar Wilde

So what I'm saying is do everything balls to the wall.

yeahhh whooooo

Soooooo

1:30-10:30 shift today! WHAAAAAAT?!


Yup that's right. Bitches.


-Selena(Eugene)

ramble on...like zepplin but not

I have just finished my 7th day of work in a row..without break. Working my ass off I suppose shows character right? Or something like that.

My social life has suffered.
Krys visited me at work, saw Zach on his bday for like a millisecond I was so tired, stopped by cosmic bowling with Steve, Emma, Krys, and emma's friend Brit. Saw Nate for a heart beat at his friend Blake's place. Worked out with Nat... Another day of work if you're counting that makes 8 straight days in a row.

If my work ethic doesn't show dedication than I have no idea what the fuck you call this.

2 weeks exactly till Danielle comes home and the fucking ruckus starts. Explosive doesn't even begin to explain the coming months.

Tomorrow (after work of course) I plan on locking myself up in my room and making an inspiration board and blasting music so that the only thoughts that can seep through the wall of noise are creative and positive ones.

Off to sleep for a few hours!

-Ali

as sanity slips...

jaci finds and sends me stupid shit online and it makes me not want to go american psycho on everyone.



what do you do when you graduate college? i remember thinking i would never get into college...i didn't give a shit about high school. time didnt seem to be a big deal but here i am four years later about to do whatever the hell it is im supposed to do. i think everyones biggest fear is failing. but how are you supposed to succeed if you're too scared to begin? here's to the start of a new chapter, hopefully it goes a little more smooth than the past 22 years.

l'chaim.

we are a generation of dreamers.

-smit NYC

ALRIGHT

since i don't have time to breathe until monday, i haven't had time to update. how do i feel, you ask? watch my favorite scenes from American Psycho; hands down one of the best movies ever made.


Hip to be Square...how i feel minus actually killing people.




The Bar Scene. If Patrcik Bateman (Christian Bale) can be badass, it inspires me.



so as i sell the rest of my soul to college, i leave you with those two videos. im not crazy, nor do i want to kill people...just think im going a little psycho. american psycho. shwinggg

Crimson and Clover

Last night Emma, Krysten and I went to Hollywood Park for opening day and then for a Joan Jett concert!
We met up with a bunch of friends and ended up being backstage with wristbands. While backstage met up with more friends. Took pictures with Joan and then... I ENDED UP ON STAGE drinking jack and coke while Joan Jett and The Black Hearts are playing!!! Shut the fuck up right now.

I am so fucking lucky. Honestly I'm still in bliss. Emma and I danced our asses off on the side of the stage and just had soo much fun! Krysten was peeing herself pretty much and got it all on film!

I'm so blessed to have the friends that I do and to have met the people I've met recently! Life is looking up world!

MTV...remember when edition.

Let's take a trip to a time before Rihanna and Justin Beiber (who smit refuses to believe is real) there was an amazing channel by the name of MTV.

Shows included:
The Real World
TRL
Diary
Making The Video
Cribs
Singled Out


Programming mostly consisted of various DJ's and one Carson Daily spinning your favorite music videos.

I miss those days.

I still remember watching The Spice Girls on TRL and Britney Spears' making the video for "Oops I Did It Again"

Bring it back MTV.

so i was just in class for a decade and now i have class at 9 am.
havent updated legit in about a few weeks.

Mideval filth therapy for the teenagers

I am a slacker. So much and so little has been up I feel like I've got so much to share!

Last week was my moms birthday and I made her an amazing cake from my friend Michael he's from tennessee so its a southern cake called 'Humming Bird' its like a spice cake but not really its amazing I made everything from the batter to the icing from scratch! Like a grown up!
(P.s this cake is covered in pecans and I had no idea nuts cost so much!)

My family has a tradition of waking eachother up early and singing happy birthday with a pastry so I woke her up at 12 am and played a Drifters song and gave her all her gifts and cake! I bought her some cds and a shirt made of yummy fabric.

During the day we went shopping and got coffee then grabbed lunch at the Nordstrom Cafe. I bought new red lipstick and liner from M.A.C
And a necklace from FreePeople. At night our family got together and ate so much chinese food (not even kidding trays and trays and trays of catering trays)

I've also been shopping way too much even after getting raped by taxes.
Recent Purchases:
- Heeled booties
- 4 inch platforms
- necklace
- lipsticks
- Bra
I can't even stop it.

Yesterday Jen and I went for a hike at Runyon Cyn with our dogs. THAT SHIT IS ALL UP HILL

I fucking died. Died. My dog pretty much died. My thighs and legs and ass burn today.
I went for my run and it hurts like ass. That fucking hill is bullshit its so intense... Still going to keep doing it once a week though ahahahah.

Today I drove to Culver City to visit my old internship and my Aunt, I love the new building its beautiful!!! I got fitted and had my specs done I might be working with them on a clothing line just helping out. I think I might start working there as a real employee not just an intern actually if everything goes well! Ahhh send good vibes!
After the fitting we went to lunch at Ford's filling station apparently its owned by Harrison Ford's son, all I know is it was tasty.

PS in about a month my life is going to be so happy and full! Danielle is coming home!

PPS. Who watches Glee? Who watched last nights episode!? Sooooo GOOD!

And I need to make a comment on ali's post about those stupid stupid stupid girls that call themselves women who publicly talk about having these affairs with MARRIED men and then expect an apology from the guy because he didn't leave his wife for them. Disgusting. I was watching the news one night and one of Tiger Woods' mistresses came on and was fucking CRYING cause he broke her heart...are you kidding me? K, done.

OH and by the way

When I have illicit extra marital affairs with anywhere from 5 to 20 young men I hope that Vanity Fair will also publish a 10 page article glamorizing the situation and a glossy spread of all the men involved posing half naked.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
AND with Princess Grace Kelly on the cover?! COME ON! The classiest of ladies on the cover the trashiest of idiots to ever get implants and have sex with a rich idiot on the inside. Give me a break.

Don't call me for a comment ill never crack.

P.S. I don't believe in sex addiction, we all like sex grow up.

-Ali

My rant is done

white lie does not equal black truth.

Such a fantastic weekend. Saturday Krysten and I Slept over at Emmas and watched some movies with CJ and BooBoo. Sunday we woke up late got coffee at Coffee Bean in Tolouca Lake by Em's then took Laurel to the Fairfax Flea market and shopped around for a few hours I bought a really cute dress for 5 dollars! Krysten bought a Joan Jett shirt and Emma bought soo much stuff ahah among those "stuffs" was a bunch of plates and a pitcher from -How Random- Kathy Griffin... Oh LA you never cease to surprise.

We walked Down Melrose, stopped at Urban bought some stuff there. Then headed to Beverly Hills for a hot minute. THEN we went to little tokyo and I took Em and Krys to my favorite ramen place.... Its fantastic such good ramen and excellent sashimi. Krysten got me to try this Japanese dessert made with sweet rice and red beans it was crazy, I don't think I like that, however the peanut butter filled Mocchi wasn't bad though.

Later that day I met up with some friends for hookah. Success!!!

Honestly best day in months, for the past several months I have been an anxious stress ball and all day Sunday and Saturday night (after sushi) I was so mellow and relaxed, I've needed this.

How was your weekend?

-Ali

Score!

So today is my first day at work where I get a 2:30-11 shift instead of 3:00-11:30. YUP that's right I'm movin on up. score. Slowly but surely.

OH and yesterday one of my co-workers got a free bottle of beer to sample and was super excited for it. She asked me to hold it in my locker for her which of course I said yes. So when our shift was over I took it out and it fell out of my hand and smashed into pieces on the floor! I felt so bad. I would do something like that.


Okay I have to start getting readyyyyyyy.

-Selena(Eugene)

take a breath

UGH the next 4 weeks i am not going to have any friends and will probably not know what breathing real air is like...only the circulated air in my apartment...good thing last night i went out to the beer garden is Astoria with my friends and it was SO NEEDED. never have actually gone to the beer garden before...even after living in astoria for 2 years. DUMB.

we hung out at the apartment for a while and did a power half hour (ran out of beer) with miller high life...the champagne of beer. okay listen, if you need to tell everyone your beer is AS classy and delicious as champagne, there is a 99% chance that it is nothing like champagne at all. and it's not. anyways. this morning we drove into the city.

i have to say, its an amazing view. and especially in the spring, the city is FULL of this...my all time favorite...

pink flowers lining 5th avenue. fancy fancy.

BOSTON next weekend to accompany Piera to the FORMAL...i think i am the man.

excitement

is anyone as excited as i am for this? any takers? the whole world should be holding their hands up in the sky right now.

on another note. 5 weeks until no more school. 7 weeks until i am a GRADUATE of college. i never thought that day would even be in my near future...it seemed SO far away. 4 years goes by very VERY fast.

excited to go home and be with the people that i love and the ones that love me back. i've had enough of the east coast, i'm a true west coast girl and am VERY VERY excited to start a new chapter in my life.

my city! LA

how does it feel for anyone else finishing college?

i promise im done with these kinds of posts...fun stuff later. like needs, wants, obsessions again. promise!

alright, australia....

this is a commercial about texting/talking on the phone while driving. apparently australia is trying to scare their people by saying that "everytime youre on your phone while driving, gingers get fresh" cool.



this is getting really annoying. gingers didnt do anything to you. besides the creepy looking ones. part of me is starting to feel like this kid though:



except he is a bit confused. hes saying that it hurts his feelings because kids call him "fat and ginger". well, kid, you are both. there is also no reason why he thinks ginger is slander. i love how angry he is.

I honestly don't know what to say

I'm super bored right now. It's 1:23 a.m. THERE IS NOTHING TO DO.

That is all.

-Selena(Eugene)

P.S. work is lame

You are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me.

My cake ball pop whatever things came out super tasty, the aesthetics could use some work they just look like truffles not like easter eggs.

On another note, Smit is right we all grew up with things pretty easy compared to so many who have nothing, really we are all pretty fortunate. We all have voices that can be heard so why not lend them to those with none? I do some charity work here and there but I would love to get involved with an organization like the Flying Elephants (check them out just google it). But its also as easy as finding your local animal rescue and dropping off old towels and blankets.

I think I'm going to try and do a lot of travel this year the sound of escape is calling to me. Santa Cruz, San Fran, Portland, Tahoe, Reno, Vegas, Hawaii, Mexico... Bring it on.



Can't wait till June when smit and I go on our road trip to Oregon to bring Selenie home!!!

cycle of good

before i even wright this i know that people will make fun of me. i really don't care.

so as some of you may or may not know, i have been tv-less since christmas and just can't seem to get one that works. seriously. so resorting to hulu.com seems to be the logical thing to do...i have watched all of Always Sunny, Family Guy, on to the home design shows and just watched the final episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

WHY DOES THIS SHOW MAKE ME CRY EVERY TIME.

it is always during the introduction of the family and the final reveal of the house that makes my eyes full of water and it cannot be controlled! it has to do with seeing people that deserve the amazing gifts they receive and you just know it is not for selfish reasons, they really do deserve it.

my mind then started to wander, and i remembered in high school piera and i were involved with a group of girls from other private schools in the area who did some stuff to help the community. for example, have a garage sale so we could afford to have underprivileged kids give their family gifts under the christmas tree...and we actually helped the kids pick out the gifts and wrap them. money was not just being sent to some organization. it was really hands on.

while being in college these past 4 years, nothing that i have done has been for the greater good of a community, or to help another person or family out. i have been very blessed in my life and it's time to return the favor. we are all girls with really big hearts and one of the main goals of The Paper Dolls LA was to show the world that 20-somethings are worth their weight in gold. we are not just self-centerd ego-driven brats. we care. and i think it's time we start to show that. even if there might be some drama along the way.

everyone should do something that helps your community. for example, i got CPR certified last year and even though that did not directly or instantaneously have an effect on someone i know that i can help someone when the time is right. it is a great feeling. maybe you can donate food, blood, or clothes to goodwill.

doing good doesn't mean making a spectacle of yourself and showing everyone how giving and caring you are, it's about helping others which in turn will make you a better person.

yes, H.A.B.L. which means Hard Ass Bitch Life. why? because i just cannot let go of Hard Ass Bitch Month. not all of the missions were completed...and i might want to shoot this. in a range. not on a street. or directed at someone.

well piera, maggie, selena, and smit all knew each other from school and i have been running in the same social circle with them since we were 15 we just never hung out or even really tried. this all changed summer of '09 and magic happened we all click, became inseparable, unicorns were birthed in pure daylight and angels sang.

now we take over the world.

Ask me anything

a final goodbye (almost)

hard ass bitch month is coming to a close. it was hard to fulfill all of our duties being on opposite coasts but ali and i tried our hardest during this time. i am NOT giving up until i fire a gun and ride a motorcycle (something that jaci and i have been trying to think of since the start, didnt happen). i have also learned that i have a lot of black clothing and my favorite rule was having people question my stability. the most important thing about hard ass bitch month is though, that we really wanted to challenge ourselves, make our comfort zone a little bigger, expand our boundaries. mission one: i would call it a success. mission two: that has yet to be determined...but hard ass bitch month will officially end when i say it does. bitch.

and the hardest of the hard, the badest of the bad, the bitchiest of the bitchiest...Mr. Clint Eastwood.



"In this world there are two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns and those who dig, you dig."

that is one Hard Ass Bitch.

It's just a phase

I've noticed about myself that I get into these "phases". I get really into something and then it just goes away. It's nothing that's life changing. For example I can't stop listening to rap! wtf? Before that I couldn't stop listening to paramore....Does this happen to everyone?

Those types of music are so different that I don't really understand how I can go from listening to one type to the next in a second.

Btw I have a new food love. They're called Yumm Bowls and they're from Cafe Yumm. I think they're only in Oregon. If anyone ever visits Oregon you have to stop and have an orignal Yumm Bowl. They're AMAZING

for the lucky?

A teary convo with Smit earlier this evening made me wonder if true, heartbreaking, universal, mind shattering, rule breaking love is for the lucky? Are we karmically bound to the people we are meant for? Is it like Hedwig's song about the angry gods? Who are all the people inbetween? Which reminds me of the quote that I live by and why I don't date carelessly the way most girls my age do

"Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of your time"

east vs west (burger edition)

i love food. i just need to accept this and my life will be easier.

as mentioned on the official Paper Dolls Twitter (follow us!), there is a place not too far from my apartment called Blue 9 Burger. word on the street was that it was equal to, or BETTER than In-N-Out, which is pretty much blasphemous. i had to try for myself...


the burger:
the bun was not toasted like it is at In-N-Out and was a little...flat? can i say that? anyway, Blue 9 has a "special sauce" also but i couldn't figure out what it was...mayo mustard hotsauce combo? wasn't bad. kinda greasy. really cant complain, got my belly full.


the fries:
major source of contravercy on the In-N-Out front...50% hate them, 50% love them. i personally love them, you have to ask for them crispy. anyway, Blue 9's fries were seasoned. really good actually. better? i donno. i'll just say different.

Blue 9 is on 3rd ave between 12th and 13th. some more words are spreading that there's another In-N-Out wannabe on E 23rd st...ill be checking that out too.

if that wasnt enough, a few hours later i decided to really be a dumb, fat american and get more treats. 16 handles. it's the Menchie's of the east coast. better? no. but...just as good.



funny how i really look for any sort of way to compare the east and west coast.

(west coast always wins)

Abbot Kinney

Today Emma and I had our first spring beach adventure!

First off Emma had never driven Topanga Canyon to the beach before so I made her do it, honestly its my favorite way to get to the beach from where I live, its a pretty peaceful drive and really scenic. Right now the cyn is especially green because of the early season rain we got this year. I love Topanga its such a little hippie canyon, I appreciate little things like that about Los Angeles all the quirkiness that only people who live here know about.

We took PCH to Lincoln Blvd and down to Venice and walked the boardwalk. I wore my giant black super big rimmed sun hat out today I looked like a hippie. Every 30 seconds I had someone making a comment on it. I haven't been to Venice in years I actually really enjoyed myself. Emma and I got some gelato and poked arounf the little shops and the vendors. Its so lively there the energy is great the vendors are all so happy (or stoned) and colorful. So many marajuana clinics, junk shops, souveniers, cafes, psychics, street art, and local celebs aka the gold man and the worlds best wino ( jingle bells jingle bells help me get drunk today _ that's his one song its hilarious) We got there early in the day so we missed most of the tourist traffic by the time we were leaving.

The drive home was nice listened to some new music and mellowed out. Stopped by a friends house and now I'm going to make spaghetti and meatballs!

What music are you listening to right now? I'm just got back into this band by the name of 'Mumford & Sons'

-Ali

an honest question

why are you always so concerned Mr. Cage?

-Ali and Smit

ps-but really, why? its annoying.

Blasphemous.

Finally saw Alice in Wonderland, it was pretty cute I enjoyed it, almost as much as I enjoyed watching Nate hate it ahaha! Payback sucks chump! This was my revenge for that infamous night he made me watch Law Abiding Citizen.

Later the same night I went out to a very late sushi dinner with my coworkers in Tarzana at Revolving sushi. Yum. It was kind of a going away dinner for Jen A and Helene but mostly just an excuse to eat sushi together.

HAB month sidenote: watched 'The September Issue' and Anna Wintour is the ultimate HAB.

Random Sidenote: All decent men should dress, look, act, and generally BE James Bond. I fell back in love with 007's this weekend. Why? Come on you're a moron if you don't know why.

NO WORK tomorrow what to do? Drag myself to see Scouts movie? Paint at the studio with Aunt Deb? Sleep in? I don't know but it must be something creative! I've not done anything inspiring in months!

Who saw the new United States of Tara? What about Nurse Jackie? Thoughts?

a ginger's worst enemy: the sun

the past two days have been amazing. spent them in central park with some friends in the amazing weather that NYC has given us...let's see how long it lasts haha.

the first day i went with jaci and jackie, we spent 6 hours just laying in the park, making friends, loving on pups, laughing at the homeless man that slept the entire time we were there, hated the high school kids, and fell in love with a couple that was so in love. there was an amazing jazz/blues band that was playing in the mall, they were so good jaci and i stopped in our tracks when they started to sing. the bass player was also mad hot. mmm. there's so much random talent in the city...minus a saxophone player that just got in everyones business.


jaci and a kiwi. she cut it open with a steak knife. yeah.

Happy St.Patrick's day everyone!

Just got home from my friend Chrystian's kickback I went with my friend Steven, we had fun pretty mellow night. Now its almost 1:30 and I'm fully awake and completley bored however I'm also unreasonably lazy and cannot be convinced to leave my bed. Because of the affore mentioned laziness I fuly plan on falling alseep in the green slip dress I wore all day and throwing my hair in a bun. Yes world, that's the way I'm going to call it a night.

I love Selena Shilton
a) cause she thinks I actually know how to opperate a twitter (I don't)
b) because when I call her at 12:30 to talk for an hour she's game and will always make me smile.
c) she is the only one who can quote me directly and accuratley. Making me remember the shit I say (at least we know someone hears me )

Love you.

I'm talking on the phone with Ali right now and we're getting super excited about our chicken coup. We have gone over the many recipes we will be able to create with our infinite amount of eggs. Here are some pictures of what we're going to make






God I'm so excited.

Apres Moi Le Deluge.

That's perhaps one of my favorite quotes. If you know who said it first I'll give you jelly beans. Here's a hint French revolution.

Woke up late utilized my 30% post consumer recycled french press and freshly ground bag of coffee. Needless to say I was heavily caffinated most of the day it seems 3 cups of very strong coffee really gets a girl going.

Worked, after that Rachel and I picked up Emma and got some really tasty grub at a so cal legendary spot: Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles on Gower off Sunset. I'm not going to tell you just how tasty it was cause I'd be gloating and you'd be sad and probably bitter.

I spent 16 american dollars on the recently released Peter Gabriel album by the name of ' Scratch My Back' its a compliation of songs written by both older musicians and younger influential artists. Recorded in a pretty simple broken down manner...well simple for Peter Gabriel: Gabriel's voice fronting an orchestra. Its fantastic. The album features songs written by musicians such as Paul Simon, Lou Reed, Bon Iver, The Arcade Fire, Radio Head, and Regina Spektor.

Now I'm home, pretty early night lounging with my dog and listening to the old Regina Spektor album pretty peaceful right now I'd like to get to sleep but that's just wishful thinking.

P.s. So cal was really hot today. I hate you heat and I would appreciate it if the sun could avoid my skin at all costs. Thanks,

Ali

Three.More.Months.!!

So close! I can't believe that in three months Ali and Smit will be flying up to good ol' Oregon to take me back HOME!

I do love this place and plan on visiting as often as I can. I've met some great people who have really changed my life for the better. But it is time to go back to where I feel I belong. LA.

One thing I will miss is the lack of traffic and not so lack of trees. It truly is so beautiful up here.

I still haven't found the plug in for my camera but my roommate somehow managed to get some pictures up. So here they are!!

this time baby...

i really need to kick myself in the face.

was home in LA for a week and it was so amazing. needed time to breathe and see the people i love.

highlights:
kill bill (ali made me watch it, so good)

70 miles round trip to sonic. SO WORTH IT
-adventure to find vodka soon followed

if they really want to OFFICIALLY be america's drive-in then they really need to have more of them, and not just po-dunk towns. its insane.

tried to go to a gun range but we don't know people who know guns...
-riding a motorcycle and shooting a gun will have to be postponed until further notice

i dub this hard ass

hung out with emma a few times...she will be the new Doll really soon!
slept on a cozy mattress
drove mah carrr
celebrated my bday at my families fav restaurant Mastro's in Beverly Hills
caught up on tv

this list could really go ON and ON but I will skip to the most important part:

at emma's house, we watched "RuPaul's Drag Race" where there was a girl (a real one teaching the not so real ones) how to pole dance. she did something so magical i must learn how to do it myself. clap my ass. no shame. if you know how to do this, 3 girls would like to learn. all the how to's (yes that happened) said we need to get in our underwear and im just not down, neither is ali.

real disturbing. real gross. but at the same time why dont i have an ass to clap like this? (i cant believe people make videos of themselves clapping their asses and put it online)



i need to learn.

REMEMBER: IT'S STILL HARD ASS BITCH MONTH...DON'T GET ALL SOFT ON US!

well no one told me about her..

I AM THE BIGGEST POST SLACKER


EVER.

For this I appologize. The past week I spent all my free time with Emma or Danielle...or both at the same time! Selena even came home for a hot second I got to see her, I've missed that dirty slut. Met up with Maggie for a quick lunch. Hung out with Jason and Travis. Drove to Monrovia for a slushee from Sonic (drunk slushee). Bought a french press (best investment ever). Worked. Educated D on the glory that is Kill Bill. Set off fire works. Tried to tag key word tried....and mostly just enjoyed having Danielle home and someone to ballsack with.

Today I redid my room, finally hung the antlers I bought and dressed them with rosaries over an antique mirror. Went for a walk with Moz and Heidy stopped by Nats new house. Today was beautiful if you live in the LA area you know how gorgeous it was.

Now I'm going to watch Factory Girl till I crash.

P.s. How dumb is daylight savings? Lame.

Sweet baby Jesus

It has been way too long since I've updated. SORRY!!

Just got back from visiting family and friends in LA and it was a lot of fun. I took a ton of pictures but I can't find my cord that connects to camera and computer so it might take a while for me to post the pictures. As much as I love living in Eugene I really am considering moving back home. I miss my friends so much and seeing them again made me realize a lot.


My dad offered me a job that would start in June and I could make a lot of money. I think I'm going to take it. It will be great to go some place new and try something different. Btw a congrats is in oreder to Ali because she has a new career in delivering PUPPIES! Best phone conversation ever.

Me: Ali? What's going on?
Ali: *gagging* omg I almost just threw up....there's a foot coming out of her vagina!

Love&Peace

-woke up at 11
-made Katie come over and be lazy
-sushi brunch
-took a disco nap that lasted all day
-coffee with nate
-bed and movies with nate
-BED!



SUN:
-Stayed in bed till One p.m.
-Went to my Aunts art studio in Granada Hills and spent a few hours painting and helping her out with a project for a kitchen she's redesigning in the Hamptons.
-Ate empanadas from a really great Argentine cafe
-downed 2 bottles of Perier
(My fave esp. The grapfruit flavored)
-Drove the Benz
-Created something for D that I hope she will love.
-Bought a few CDs
-BED!


SELENA comes home tomorrow! And D comes home on Friday!!!!

If you have to cry go outside.

HAB last 2(?) days -Ali Edition

Nothing too hard happened I don't think, Drank a bottle of wine with Emma and Nate at home. Worked. Layed in bed all day on Sat watching Harry Potters. The Reader, and a few others. Had sushi for breakfast. About to head to my aunts art studio to get my mind straight and paint a bit to cool off. Time to take the rose colored glasses off since they aren't doing me any favors. 2 days till Selena is home, 5 days till Danielle is home! Cannot wait its going to make my life better this week.

Hard Ass Bitch Day 5 (Smit Edition)

i hate to say this but nothing badass happened today. except the fact that nature kicked my ass here in NYC. i did go to a bar and have amazing dumplings at The Dumpling Man on 8th btwn 1st and A (get chicken seared with miso soup on the side) boots are officially ruined from all the rain and snow so Ali and I have planned to go vintage shopping when i come home to LA next week!!! so excited-nothing beats coming home after being away for a while and seeing all the people you love. the word of Hard Ass Bitch Month is spreading though. i am telling my friends and one of them, Cassie, has spread the word on Twitter! [FOLLOW HER HERE] and if you guys don't know you can also follow us on Twitter! [FOLLOW US HERE]

now for the Hard Ass Bitch of the Day, and I know it's a repeat but...Brody Dalle



Ali made a good point today-at the end of this month, be someone you would fuck. if you were a dude. into girls. you get the picture. and Brody is a Hard Ass Bitch. she wins.

this next person REALLY should have gone on our master list in the first place, i don't know why he didn't:

yes, Samuel L. Jackson

he's one bad motherfucker.

love and peace from the east [village} NYC
