Reason for this blog: to kick off my 100 blogs in 2011. (pssshh....as if Ill even get to 20.)
Type of Blog: a free write of my meandering thoughts.
Warning: if your volume is not up or if you haven't let my playlist load, EXIT RIGHT NOW.

Ive come to realize that as you get older, your facebook album titles get lamer. you start stating the obvious such as "January 2011" or "my birthday" or " jane and joe's wedding". i never see adults naming albums "I know what you did last summer 2010." I miss the days of naming albums after overplayed songs and ultra witty play-on-words (it was once my specialty).
Something i constantly laugh about on a weekly basis is the thought of hacking into my friends facebooks and putting statuses such as "The club cant even handle me right now!!!!" just for the heck of it...I crack up for hours. only chantel understands this, geez.
After downloading my facebook information and taking a stroll through memory lane, i can almost 99.99% guarantee that i was the most obnoxious 19-23 year old to ever exist. I had an incessant need to tell everyone where i was, what i was doing, and how cool i was while i was doing it. im sorry, public. I even named an album "Miami, New York, and Yachts, bitches". "Lets have a toast for the douche bags" is what i would single-handedly name all those albums if I could do it all over again.
Id rather eat lint than make pointless small talk with people i once knew. Observe:
"hey how you've been"
"good and you?"
" good thanks. what are you up to these days?"
"not much, just working and what not, and you?
"same!"
"cool see you around"
I mean, why couldn't we have just kept walking our separate ways and avoided that? a simple wave goes a long way.
chantel and i still refer to going out as "clubbing". We will text each other with "Do you want to go clubbing?" or "I think we may go clubbing tonight if you want to join". We thought this was normal until we were told that this word is no longer used and is now considered passe'. Whatever, Diana still refers to going online as "surfing the web." nerdy mom alert!
Playing 'dinosaur' is when you say "rawr rawr im a dinousaur, i will eat you!" to the young ultra skinny hipster girls at clubs while 'clubbing'
speaking of.....
i want to take a dinosaur trip to Tallahassee before its illegal for me to go back. anyone?
the new wave of somber movies fills my heart with joy. Its like everyone got a cue from Lost In Translation and is doing the same. Okay fine, maybe I'm Sofia-Coppola-Biased and this has been around for while but I'm noticing it now more than ever. i love movies that don't necessarily have a plot and solely are an exploration of human nature and our dealings with everyday issues and occurrences...in particular, love and loss. Movies I've seen recently that I love include: Somewhere, Blue Valentine, Rabbit Hole, The Kids are All Right....something I'm eagerly anticipating: Biutiful.
I've recently purchased my 3rd book which attempts to explain in more detail the Human Brain. I am totally persuaded to purchase a book when written by a psychologist. I think my thorough investigation of human nature has really made me open minded, understanding, and forgiving. We are all just highly evolved and trained animals. When you understand this, you expect less and appreciate more. I'm considering writing a blog that may make every girl want to bitch slap me when I explain how monogamy is repressive (as per these books). But ill save that new age thinking for another day.
I'm pretty much become best friends with every banker in Coral Gables. I can open the most complicated accounts in the world solely through my bff relationships with these certain people. If you have a complicated Non Resident Alien that needs anything.....holler at me. I got the hook up.
this is the conan o'brien emoticon 9:)
i love the work week more than i love the weekend. Weeknights are much more exciting that weekend nights. Karl Lagerfeld says the only night of the week he stays in is Friday. we have that in common. and that is about all we have in common.
i figure ill be corporate for another 7 years then enter into the arts world. i cant die not having been involved in some way or another. i have tons of screenplays and books and sitcoms i want to write/produce/direct. im super excited.
my sitcom is called "The mis-happenings of Awkward Annie". Its a mixture of Sex and the City meets Seinfeld. I already have written about 17 real life scenes/mishaps that can be included.
my movie is a disney movie based on the theme park (Magic Kingdon) coming to life after everyone leaves, kinda like 'Night at the Museum' and they are all trying to save Its a Small World from closing down because the corporate execs think they can add a newer, more exciting ride. Thats all Im going to say about that before someone steals my idea...
I would also like to make a documentary. but thats really top secret because it may be the only one of my fake productions i actually go through with. Stay tuned!
i love book dedications. i dont judge a book by its cover, i juge by its dedication. some send me shivers, some make me laugh, i mostly like the ones that make me cry. such as:
To Lucy Barfield
My Dear Lucy,
I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand, a word you say, but I shall still be
your affectionate Godfather,
C.S. Lewis (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe)
there are 3 and only 3 things i hate that are of the food/beverage department. in order of least to most hated : mustard, pickles, SAKI. who wants to drink rice water thats been soaking in alcohol for over 100 years. NOT ME. except for this one time that chant and i went to Saki Room in Design District and the bartender just passed us saki shots to be nice. i had to drink it because im that 'kinda girl that feels bad'...HORRIBLE.
i was at the bookstore and a random old man came up to me, made 30 seconds of small talk and then asked if i had dinner yet. i said yes (lie.) and then as i was saying bye he said , do you have time later? i said 'haha no' and ran away. who does that? please....TACT gentlemen.
i love to play 'lets google it' to see if other people feel the same or do the same things i do. i google exact phrases to see if other people do it . something apparently other people dont do 'i like to sit in my car for a really long time once I've parked before getting out of it' no? no one? ok i was kidding, i dont like to do that.
im taking my sister to Dinner and an Opera Tonight. we are going to Prelude by Barton G. in the Arsht Center and then seeing The Tales of Hoffman. I am SO proud of this lady, she deserves the world.
okay...that was a good release of writing. I really am going to try to stay on point about writing at least weekly. I love going back to my blogs from 2009 and observing the changes/transitions/things that never change. Im SO excited to turn 70, print and bind my entire blog and give it to my grandkids.
TTFN, ta ta for now.
