I must be truly bored at work to be writing in my LJ today...

Nobody updates anymore so I stopped coming to LJ to read other people's posts.

Life: work at job #1 and then work at job #2 and then sometimes work at my mom's store which becomes job #3. DT Thursdays are the highlight of my week. My newest TV addiction is Entourage. I learned how to play poker this week. I try to squeeze in at least one day of tanning a week with Sarah/Mattie/Kristin. I'm dealing with trying to lease my apartment (shootme). I'm going to NYC in August with my family! Annd that's about it. Life.

A night worth noting:

The intern party from a few weeks ago... it was the BEST. I LOVED Michael's roommates and friends. They were so fun and friendly. We played a TON of Flip-Cup at their house and finished an entire bottle of Hideoous before we headed DT. Even though we only hit two bars, it was all a blur. All the guys somehow ended up with pink boas... and then we went back to Michael's house, hung out doing stupid stuff for another hour or two. Then we all crashed there. I woke feeling so gross and could not believe I just slept in a house where 9 boys live. It must have been DISGUSTING. Anyways, totally worth it. Amazing night.

I'll keep it short.

We're downtown for Sarah's birthday... K and I leave to meet up with Chase. We run into JACOB STETSON who drags us in The Blind Pig? Pug? (IDK!) where we ran into KEVIN KEYES (a year younger than us from CHS, baseball player at UT, kind of famous). Jacob introduced us to him and it was suuuper awkward because he had no idea who we were.

As we're leaving that bar, K and I run into CHRIS TERRELL who we used to work with at Acton. Crazy.

We walk out of the bar and who do I see walking in the middle of 6th street??
AALOK BHATTARI and STEVEN SHEFFIELD!

K and I pointed, waved and went over to say hi. Aalok is adorable as always and hugs us. And then... STEVEN HUGGED US BOTH. Whaaaat. I don't think I've EVER had a real conversation with Steven before. Ever. And his mother and I were close because she helped with prom, etc.

But then it gets better because NATHAN MANN walked up and smiled and waved to us. OMG - Nathan Mann. ANNNND then, KEITH DEMBY of all people came up to join us. What. the. hell. Still ridiculous as ever. He still acts like he's the hottest thing to leave Connally.

Other really, really, really hilarious things happened but those were my personal highlights. :) Dear god, I love being 21.

It has been the most epic weekend of my life. JUST FYI.

I want to thank Annie-Lee and Kristin for putting up with me at the Justin Timberlake Sing-A-Long last night. Ahahaha. It was AMAZING. We had so much fun dancing and singing like fools!

It essentially proved what I already know... JT is the perfect man. He can do anything and do it well. They played songs from FutureSexLoveSounds, then they went old school with all the best NYSYNC songs, then a bunch of his collaborations with other artists including the new Ciara song and back to more FutureSex songs.

Crazy screaming girls + one big dance party for 2 hours... it was kind of like a great workout with a JT soundtrack.

WHO WANTS TO GO WITH ME AGAIN NEXT WEEK??? :D
I'm kidding... but not really. If someone one wants to go, I'm totally in.

Stan said something very interesting to me today. I mentioned the Lakers vs. Celtics game to him, he asked me if I follow basketball and I said, "YEAH! Of course I do!" He thought it was just so cool that I was interested in sports, then he said he didn't understand why more girls aren't into sports.

All I have to say to that is: WORD.
I consider myself pretty well-versed in most sports, particularly football and basketball at the college and professional level. I guess it's because I grew up with two boys... my brother and Dustin.

I don't understand why guys always find it so surprising that a girl can have a real conversation about sports with them. Silly boys. But then again, I find it REALLY WEIRD when boys aren't into sports. I don't think I could ever date someone who wasn't moderately to very interested in sports.

Anyways... I wanted to share this Nike commercial with Lebron James. Another example of great advertising by Nike. If you watch closely, you can spot Lil Wayne in there. NBA ALL-STAR game next weekend! My man Ray Allen just got placed on the Eastern Conference team because someone was injured which means the Boston THREE AMIGOS (a reference to a great ESPN commercial) will be on the team... plus Lebron equals domination!



ALSO: COLDPLAY IS COMING BACK TO TEXAS IN JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Moyo and I are getting our tickets the moment they go on sale. No hestitation this time.

I am proud to be an American voter today. BARACK OBAMA IS OUR PRESIDENT!
Yes, there is a lot to do to fix our country. Yes, there are no easy solutions.
But yes, I sincerely believe we elected the most confident, generous, sincere, kind, charismatic, fair, and smart man for the job.

[I am APALLED by the ignorance in the world. One girl's status on Facebook: "Just a reminder, Obama is still half white." ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Just because he is half of one thing and half of another, it doesn't make a difference in his beliefs and values as a human being. He is still considered a black man. We should be proud, not trying to devalue his accomplishment as the first black president. It's amazing.]

I won't even start on someone else's status. It made me wonder about her sanity. So WRONG.

Don't hate.
The better man won.

Einstein Bros bagels at work!
I don't think I can describe how much I love bagels. It's just too much love.

I started going to these boot camp workouts that one of my bosses introduced me to. I looove it. It HURT like no other after the first session (I literally could not walk like a normal person) but now it's not bad. Not to mention I've gotten used to getting up at 5:30 AM to work out!

- Viva La Vida, the new Coldplay CD, it's definitely different but I think it's great.
- Celtics took it home and owned the Lakers. Fantastic, exciting NBA finals! I'm so happy KG, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen finally got a championship. Did you see how cute Ray Allen's son was? CUTE.
- Some people should keep some things to themselves. Ever heard of TMI? Too much information.
- Thursday afternoon sangria testing parties at work! Haha, our office is crazy.

First things first...LA. My highlights:
I sat near Ian Ziering (Steve from Beverly Hills 90210) at the Starbucks in Malibu.
Arnold (The Terminator/Gov. of California) rode by me on Venice Beach on his bicycle.
I sat in George Clooney's seat at the Academy Awards (front row of the Kodak Theater).
I did a lot of shopping, eating and wandering around by myself.
The weather was perfect. Sunny but cool...always.
In the end, I had a wonderful time but LA isn't really the place for me.
It actually confirmed how much I love NYC and I want to be there.

Back to work.
I'm working 8-1 everyday but I'm really enjoying my afternoons.
Naps and lounging by the pool. Naps while lounging by the pool!

I feel like I need to make the most of this summer because who knows where we'll be NEXT summer. The summer after junior year is when everybody takes their "official internship" and more than likely, most of us won't be in Austin.

I'm in one of those moods where I'm watching chick-flick movies and reading girly "chick lit." Basically so I can imagine having that kind of swept-off-your-feet, all-consuming, true love kind of love. <3


Everytime I see it, my heart pounds with excitement and I squeal.
Moyo: "I was like a little girl."
Hahaha...we've got big plans for their Dallas concert in Nov.

Laaaaaa, laa, laa, laa
Wait til I get my money right

There are still no words to describe the Kanye West concert. So I went with Moyo and a bunch of his friends. (Yomi! Idris! Alpha Phi Alpha guys! HOT! Especially Yomi, he is so nice, funny and has an awesome accent that's a mix of Canadian + Nigerian.) We had great seats and were two rows behind Lunchbox, Amy and Carlos from the Bobby Bones show. I FREAKED out and called Kristin immediately. Then I took a bunch of pictures of them. I'm such a stalker but whatever, I'm a huge fan!

Lupe Fiasco came on exactly at 7pm so the Erwin Center was still pretty empty. He performed my favorite songs, "Fighter," "Daydreaming," and of course "Superstar." Matthew Santos was awesome too. I wasn't very familiar with N.E.R.D. but I really enjoyed their show! They got the audience up on their feet. They also pulled four random girls on stage but they were goofy/terrible dancers. To make things worst, Pharrell Williams hugged each one of them afterwards. I was jealous. Rihanna was alright, nothing spectacular but better than expected. It was fun singing along to "Umbrella." Kanye West was so energetic. He just kept on rapping and running around. The stage was insane! I had so much fun dancing and singing along to EVERY song. Some of the songs that were the most fun: Good Life, Gold Digger, Stronger, Can't Tell Me Nothing, Diamonds from Sierra Leone, etc. Moyo, after the show: "That was like a religious experience!!" [Moyo enjoyed the show more than ANYONE. I was standing next to him and felt like I was in danger cause he kept jumping up and down, waving his arms, etc. Haha.]

I'm glad I went to the show. The End. I should be studying for finals.
Then I realized I should write about the concert because I like checking back years later and reading about big events. If I didn't write about these things, I would never remember anything. I recently went back and read my entry from prom. Hahaha...good times.
