Today was fun. My mom and I went to the lake at around 1. We had a McDonald's picnic on the water and then laid out in the sun for a couple of hours. Also, I had so much fun people-watching. There was this group of 5 (presumably Senior) girls getting their photos taken. They were all in black tops and jeans and some adorable guy was shooting them, taking lots of cute friendship photos. So I totally just creeped on that, it made me wish I had a bamf camera so, so badly. ALSO, there were a couple of other guys just walking around taking photos on their own and I couldn't even tell if they were hot or not because they were far away or had sunglasses on, but jesus god, just a camera on a guy is a boner-inducer. Speaking of artistic boners,
Tony called last night from Cali, just to say hi and see what I was up to. I told him I was drinking lemon drop martinis and editing and he asked what I was editing. "LOL I'm not going to tell you." Why?! "BECAUSE YOU'LL MAKE FUN OF ME." So we fought over it for a little bit before he says, in all sincerity, "No, stop. Can I just be honest with you?" Yes. "Your editing and photoshop and all of that - it turns me on. So no, how could I ever judge you for it." Fine. Adam Lambert. AND HE WAS CONFUSED ABOUT WHO THAT WAS? OR STH? WHAT. He mentioned earlier that he's doing camerawork for Idol this week and I was like, "SHUT UP. DID YOU DO IT FOR THEM LAST YEAR." and he said a little and I was like, "WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME." Why did I have to call you?! "BECAUSE I AM SO IN LOVE WITH PAULA ABDUL IT IS RIDICULOUS." I didn't know that! LOL WHAT. I asked him if he ever does anything for House and he said no, but some of his friends have, (totally all nonchalant, like nbd) why? I told him I am so obsessed with that show. I get so obsessed with television and people make fun of me all the time, but. "I think it's cute." LOL shut up. "No, I'm serious." And he was. You guys. I wish I could be into him. I'm just not? I mean, I love him. He is one of my absolute best friends, I just don't have the zsa zsa zsu. Which is fine, I am more than happy with just being really close friends but I know he wants more than that (he asked me last night why we weren't married. I deflected by laughing and saying I'm too young to get married) and it's hard because I am so wary of leading him on. I don't want to do that. He means too much to me. And I don't want him to mistake plain excitement to see him or make art with him as signs that I'm into him and lasfjlasljf. Because yeah, when he comes to visit in a couple of weeks - I am SO excited to see him and I would love to spend every waking hour with him because we have SO MUCH ART TO MAKE and so much music to sing, so much pizza and beer to consume, so much stuff to edit and teach each other and BECAUSE he's not here all the time, I have to cram that all into the short amount of time that he IS here. I don't want him to just assume that me wanting to spend a lot of time with him means that I want him like that, you know? Because there's a good chance that he might. It breaks my heart constantly.
Wow, what a buzzkill!tangent. Anyway. After we laid in the sun, we walked down a couple of blocks to an outside bar and ordered a drink. The same bartender we had last time was working, so we were happy about that, he completely cracks us up. We refer to him as Samson because his hair is magical. We decided to walk around, and eventually walked to the end of a huge dock and just sat/laid there and finished our drinks. We went to go to the local art store, but they were closed. :( We came home and watched Always Sunny in Philadelphia (I am so in love with Sweet Dee, seriously. "I WILL EAT YOUR BABIES, BITCH!!1") while we waxed our eyebrows. GOOD TIMES. And then she foiled/colored my hair while I did my nails (BUFFING AND EVERYTHING. I get to start growing my nails out again now that I'm done with clay) and it was like, srs bsns pampering time in the Liss household. I ENJOYED IT IMMENSELY. My hair, however.... :/ The coloring itself is good, it's so even and well done, I just hate the actual color. It's too dark (especially for summer) and desaturated for my liking. I told my mother it felt like she did Ctrl + Shift + U on my head. So, needless to say, we will be fixing that sometime in the v near future.
Celebrity Apprentice. Okay, I am seriously in love with Bret Michaels. No, I don't think you even understand. Also, Sharon Osbourne, she nearly made me cry talking about her charity. It's for colon cancer and she started crying talking about how nobody cares about it because "it's up your ass and it's not sexy" and she couldn't even think of a ribbon color for it, she says as she breaks, and that really hit me for some reason - "it's not sexy". But that doesn't mean that it's any less worthy and I think of the time that Derek laughed at me when I said my charity of choice would be Dizzy Feet. I realize that children having the ability to dance is not as pressing of an issue as autism or diabetes, I know kids won't DIE if they aren't able to dance, but it's important to me because dance has so completely made me who I am and if I'd have not been able to have that... that's a different kind of death. So I don't know, I guess I just had a soft spot for her because I've had things that I think are important be dismissed because "there are bigger, (sexier) things" that people tend to think about or donate to first.
