Just got back from my 4-day trip to L.A. Man, good times but hell. I could never live in California. That whole lifestyle is just ridiculous. I got to do a couple days of touristy fun including little trips to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica. We were staying right by Manhattan beach so I hung out there a bit too. The main point of my ( Read more... )

I'm startin to get a little stressed about what the hell I'm doing this summer. I have a wide variety of shit I've applied for and haven't heard back on ANYTHING!!! 1. Top Model. Wtf Tyra? Why haven't you called me yet? 2. Willamette Valley REU. This was my "sure thing". It's a research opportunity at different oregon universities. Not super ( Read more... )

So, I did something pretty damn random today. I auditioned for America's Next Top Model. I have only been watching that show for the past year, but I've noticed I always say "That girl isn't even that pretty!" They basically pick girls based on personality then cake their faces in makeup and voila! They're models. You know every girl at home is ( Read more... )

I've neglected this. I'm not really into displaying my thoughts to the public right now but seeing as this is a dying website, why the hell not. I've thought about doing this a couple times but I always start typing and end up erasing it. What is there to say? Forget updates, here's what my life is right now ( Read more... )

I just realized I only have 12 days of class left + finals. Three weeks from now I'll be leaving. Aaaaand I still don't know where I'm living next year. Awesome. I'm not ready to leave. This year has been too awesome and I'll miss so many people. I am super excited to hang out with the high school homies when I get back though. It's weird.. I ( Read more... )

Last night we FINALLY had the Kwanzaa party that Ryan has been talking about for probably over a year now. I really think it ended up being everything he dreamed it would be. We only drank 40s and listened to Wu Tang and a few of us actually wore some traditional kwanzaa outfits. It's time for some pictures + commentary:

Wow. Gotta say the St. Patrick's Day party was definitely the highlight of my spring break. I did go to Hawaii for five days, but the one night of partying was so much sweeter. Ryan came up from Portland on Friday to hang out before the party and that was cool. Got to show him my hood and had a good time. When the party started we helped my parents ( Read more... )
