Can't Sleep!

Welp, it's 2:29 AM and I have to be at work at 5:00....I'm so boned!

I was lying in my bed with all of these things running around in my head, one of them having to do with my previous post, and a bunch of other things I have going on: trying to find a roommate, and this important opportunity that I have to interview for tomorrow. With all of these things going on, I was lying in bed with my eyes wide open.

I have to be getting ready to go in an hour and a half. I'm going to be sooo tired at work. I don't know how I'm going to survive tomorrow.

There are a couple of things going on in my life that I would like to share about, however none of them are for sures yet, and I have thins fear of jinxing myself if I talk about them too much. As a Christian I probably shouldn't be so superstitious, but I can't help it! :-P I feel like any time I have the possibility of a good thing and I tell anyone about it, it ends up not panning out (i.e. The guy that was almost my boyfriend. I had told anyone about him, and one day I was feeling happy about it, so I told my aunt, who was visiting, about him. He text me that night to say he was going back to his Ex).

As soon as things are settled and dust clears, and I have definite answers, you'll be the first (possibly second or third, depending:-)) to know!

My fam, my friend, and I saw District 9 tonight. We've been trying to see that movie all weekend! It was really good, and I'm glad I'm in the loop now. They were talking about it at work on Monday and I had to turn up my headphones cuz I didn't want to hear any spoilers. I hate spoilers. One of my biggest pet peeves is knowing the end of a movie I haven't seen, or when people just blurt out things that are going to happen. if you don't want to be my friend anymore, just tell me the ending of a movie we're watching. Done.

Well I'm going to attempt to close my eyes now. Thanks for stopping by!

How Do You Comfort Loneliness By Yourself?

Every once in awhile it hits me.

The Loneliness.

One would think I would be used to it by now, considering I have yet to be in a relationship, but that's not the case. I usually just try not to think about it but every once in while The Loneliness wins, and it's overwhelming thoughts.

What's wrong with me? Why am I not worth anyone's time or effort? Will I ever meet a guy that thinks I'm the greatest girl he's ever met?

Of course my friends and family all say "yes" with no hesitation. But that doesn't always seem so. I mean I'm 26 years old, how have I managed to stay single my entire life? When I start thinking about it, I boil it down to not being pretty enough because I haven't even gotten to the point where a guy even gave me enough of a chance to even consider being with me. It's ridiculous and extremely frustrating.

The only guy to even come close won't even be friends with me now. We had been hanging out, enjoying each others company, and then all of a sudden, he just stopped talking to me, then texts me and says he decided to go back to his ex-girlfriend. The one he had previously been telling me he didn't want to be with anymore and complaining about the stupid things she would do. He said it was for cultural/family reasons, yet now he won't even be friends with me. He treats me rather poorly actually, and you would think that would discourage me from having feelings for him. Well that was almost 4 years ago and I still feel like it happened last week. I still try every once in a while to get him to have a friendship with me which is über pathetic, and I know that, but I can't help it. i hang on to him because I don't have anyone else.

At this point it's pretty much all I think about, what it would be like to have a boyfriend. It's hard for anyone else to understand because no one else I know has gotten to the age of 26 without having an actual relationship.

I hate having a whiney blog post, but I had to let this out for now. Maybe I'll write more later...

New Phone & Apartment Hunting

So I finally got a new phone! My BB Pearl had been going crazy on me. I couldn't end calls and it would randomly turn off. After ComiCon I decided I had to get a new phone. I went with the BB Curve 8900 of course, since I had owned it for a couple of days when I lost my Pearl. It's such an awesome phone, I love the Blackberry OS, and the Curve just makes it even better! The screen is a good size, and I can watch videos!!

I've only had for about 4 days and I'm loving it. I'm sure there's still a lot more I can do with the phone, I just have to keep playing with it. I'm also addicted to BBM! It's so much better than texting. I also got a car charger and a case, so I don't have to drag around a charger and hopefully I won't be scratching it by dropping it with the cases I have. I'm hoping to keep this phone in good condition for a while!

Even the apps on the Curve are improved from the Pearl. I'm very impressed, bravo I say to Blackberry!! Here's a pic I took with my Curve:



Very colorful! (That's my Dad's office. He's been collecting toys from BK and McDonald's forever....)



Next order of business: Moving.

It's definitely time for me to move. I live at home with my family and it's starting to drive me crazy. Not necessarily my family themselves are driving me crazy, more of the fact that I don't have my own space. I'm sharing a room with two younger brothers. I'm dying for space! It's also hard to function as an independent adult when you live with your parents. My parents have never been the strict type though, I've never had a curfew or anything, and they're cool for the most part.

The only thing that is keeping me under their roof is the ridiculous cost of living in Los Angeles! IThe only thing keeping me in LA is the fact that I'm working on an acting career. If it weren't for that, I would have moved away from here long a go. But being an actress also means I can't have a career that pays well, which means I can't afford the ridiculous prices to live here! It's all a huge mess and it's stupid.

Unfortunately, at 18 I went credit card crazy, so I also don't know if I have the credit to move out. Blech. I'm tired of looking for a place to lvie and figuring out who to live wiht. My 23 year old brother wants to move out too, so were gonna find a place, but we can't seem to agree on price or location. I'm getting ver antsy and very frustrated. I'm ready to start my own adult life!! But I feel so trapped living here. Grrr. I don't know what to do!!

Comic-Con '09

Wow!!!

ComiCon this year was out of control!! My family and I arrived in San Diego on Wednesday evening. We had 4-Day passes, so we got to go in for preview night on Wed. The line to get your passes was long, but it always goes quickly.

My brother was till working so he was going to come Friday morning, but my mo was wondering if we could get his pass for him. I said probably not, because they are pretty tight about security and without proper I.D., they wouldn't let us get the extra badge. So I get up to the counter. I give the girl my ID an I start looking at my phone, she looks at my ID then says "Can you look up please?", so I do, and say thanks for checking. Then my little brother goes up, he has his sunglasses on and she asks him to take them off. He complies, gets his badge and stands with me. She checks my mom's ID, she gets hers. The three of us are waiting for my dad to get his badge. We're all talking about how he's not gonna get our other brother's badge, cuz she was making us jump through hoops just to get our own. So we're waiting. Then my dad comes over and we ask if he got my brother's badge and he says yes!! AND she didn't make him take off his hat OR his glasses!! So not only did he get his own, without being double-checked, but he got someone else's badge! We joke about people treating my dad like royalty all the time, but this was insane!! I swear people love my dad, and we cannot figure out why! I mean he's a good guy of course, but why the heck didn't he have to give a blood sample like the rest of us?!?!

Anyway, my dad ended up booking two rooms at two different hotels, and we couldn't cancel the one we didn't want so we had to pay for one night at a hotel we didn't stay at which really sucked.

The rest of the trip was just going to panels and wading through crowds and body odor, feeling like cattle. Yes, it was fun! Not the cattle or the BO part, but the rest of hit.

The highlight of my ComiCon adventure was on Saturday. Here's a little back story first:

Chuck is one of my favorite shows on TV. I've watched it from the series premier and own season 1 on DVD. Last year I was lucky enough to be on the show as background three times! During those times I got to chat with Zachary Levi, the star of the show. He is one of the nicest most genuine actors (and just people!) I've ever met. He speaks to everyone, all the background, which a lot of principal actors won't do. They pretend you aren't even there. He made everyone feel comfortable and have wanted to have fun. Adam Baldwin was also a really great guy. But being the girl that I am, I developed a small crush on Zachary Levi. I didn't pay attention to him like that at first, but then I had a random dream where he was my boyfriend, and I kind of started to see him different, lol. Then I actually met him and it was all over. He's funny and a good guy (well from what I could tell). I had a one-on-one conversation with him one of the times I was on set. It wasn't a long or meaningful conversation, just shooting the breeze between takes. Now flash forward:

I had planned on going to the Chuck panel which was in the morning at 11:00, so I woke up at 9, and got ready, cuz I knew there would be a ridiculous line. So I get dressed and head over to the convention center. I get there at 9:30, plenty of time to stand in line and get a seat. To my dismay, I see that the panel starts at 10:00, instead of and hour and a half early, I was half an hour early, and there were already 5000+ people in line! They were saying if you weren't already in line, you probably weren't going to get in. I stood by the entrance like a sad puppy watching as everyone else got to go inside. I struggled with whether or not to get in line and see what happened. But they had started so I stayed in front of the doors to see what was happening. While I was standing there broken-hearted, a woman came up to me and asked if I was going into Chuck, and I said "Eventually, maybe, hopefully." Thinking she was gonna stand there with me. Instead, she hands me a little pink slip. It's a re-entry pass to get into the panel! It might as well have been Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket! I thanked her and headed for the entrance, almost waving the pass in the face of the security who had seen me watching sadly from outside. They're lucky I didn't stick my tongue out!

The panel was really good (Here's the link!). Afterward, I decided to take a chance and go up to the stage to take pics, even though I thought the cast would probably just leave. They did take pics then they all headed off stage, but knowing what I knew about Zachary Levi, I thought he might come out to the stage and say hi. Sure enough he turned around and came to the side of the stage I was on. I was right up against the stage, he was shaking people's hands then started signing autographs. I didn't have anything for him to sign, so I just took of my ComiCon Badge. A woman came beside him and started intercepting things for him to sign, she was doing her best to help him get as much signed as possible. She took my badge, but he kept grabbing stuff from other people. Then another woman came out and said he was gonna have to go. So the first woman said he could only sign five more. I was afraid she wouldn't give him mine. He signed a few more, then she said "This is the last one" and handed him my badge. He took it, looked at it, and I could see him read my name, then he started looking around for me! I raised my hand and he saw me and said "You do background on Chuck!" and gave me a high five. Then announced to everyone that I do background on the Show.



Oh.My.God. I could have died right then and there. He recognized my name and looked for me in a crowd!! I couldn't believe it. How many actors would remember a background player from their TV show? My day, no my entire trip was made from that moment alone. I don't know how he even recognized my name, but it just makes me all happy that he did!


The rest of the trip was fun, I like spending time with my fam. But I feel I've hit my limit on the story telling for one post!!

La'az!

A Day At The Spa!

I was supposed to be in Vegas this weekend, but all my friends bailed on me. So I decided to treat myself to a day at the Burke Williams spa. I told my mom I was going so she decided to join me.

After the tour, we were shown to the lockers which were very nice. We changed and got into our robes and slippers.

It's funny because I really don't have issues being undressed in front of people, but I always cover up for their sakes! I mean I understand we are all women, but I'm sure no one wants to see me naked, cuz I don't want to see anyone else naked!!

We started with a 25-minute massage...Oh.My.Gosh. It was amazing! I've never in my life had a professional massage before today, just small ones from friends. I will have to recommend that if you have not had a professional massage, get one! 25 minutes was no where near long enough.

When we finished that we had the whole spa to explore. They had every single amenity you could think of. There was lemonade, water, and fruit for snacking. They had towels everywhere and slices of cucumber to put over your eyes. Then we got up and went to the hot tub. That was nice, the water was extra hot, and they had face towels sitting in ice to keep cool. When we finished that, my mom and I went out to the atrium and relaxed for a bit, we both fell asleep.Then we headed inside we decided to stop in the quiet room. It was very....quiet. There were La-Z-Boys, blankets, and cucumber slices and water. I threw a blanket over me and slept some more. My mom left by the time I had gotten up.

When I got up, I went into the steam room. Wow! It was very steamy but the steam had eucalyptus in it. I felt extremely hydrated and my skin was loving every second of it! My mom said she had been in there earlier and a lady had sneezed in the steam room, so she left. Ewwww!! I mean I know sneezes sometimes just happen, but in a steam room? That's just gross...

We stayed in there for a while then headed to the showers. They had Skintimate shaving cream, razors, deaodorant spray, even shower caps! It was very indulging to have everything right at your finger tips. They seriously thought of everything.

I brought my own shampoo because I tried generic stuff at a spa once and my hair was like "what the hell are you doing?!?!?" it sucked any kind of moisture my hair had right out and I couldn't get it back to save my life, or rather my hair's life. I swore I would never do that again. Black girls hair just can't take the same stuff as everyone else's. I know our hair looks tough, but really it's fragile!

After that I changed and took my little bag to the vanity room. They had blow dryers, brushes (they cleaned), mirrors, cotton swabs, hair ties, hair sprays and even some aromatherapy cooling towels for when you get hot from blow-drying your hair. Like I said, everything! I brought my straightener so I could look decent when I left! Nothing like having a luxurious day only to look crappy when you leave. My face felt super soft from the steam room so I didn't dare gunk it up with make-up. Ijust threw on lipstick and mascara.

At the sinks, they had face moisturizer, mouth wash, and toner. We asked for toothbrushes and they gave us a couple. They had toothpaste already in the bristles,*sigh*. Seriously, little things like that are just icing on the cake.

This was such a wonderful experience, I am going to have to do it again. I wish I could do it twice a month, at least. I wonder if it would loose it's specialness though? It doesn't seem like it could. I could have spent the entire day in there with a good book and my Zune!

So if you have not yet treated yourself to a day at the spa, I would say go for it, as soon as possible!! Splurge, treat yourself, I'm sure you deserve it!

Twitter, Blogging and Beauty!

My friend Allison invited me to a Beauty Blog Launch party last night hosted by HelloPrettyLovesYou, which her friend Danielle helps write for. It was a great party there were gift bags with really awesome products.

It was pretty cool, I did background on Iron Man 2 this week and one of the ladies who did my hair used this stuff called Porosity, and it was really great on my hair, it made it feel soft and moisturized. I looked it up online on Wednesday and it was about $30. I almost bought but decided to wait. So last night, at the launch party, they had a raffle. Allison won this GREAT beach package prize with a swimsuit, towel, flip flops, and a lot of other stuff. She had another winning ticket, and she let me have it, so I went and got the prize. When I looked inside, there was a bottle of Porosity!!! I couldn't believe it!!! It was one of the coolest moments. Here's all the stuff I got:




HelloPrettyLovesYou.com is having a give away, you can win this stuff and more! Check out their blog!

We met some really cool ladies at this party. A lot of them were bloggers and some were reps for beauty products and companies. It was a really cool event to be a part of. I met one woman, Leslie, and she had just signed up for Twitter a few minutes before she had left to come to the party. I showed her how to download TwitterBerry and I started following her. She's really cool, you should follow her!


This whole event got me thinking, I would really like to start writing/blogging about beauty products and even entertainment. I kind of already started that with my other blog. Obviously I don't update nearly as much as a should. I'm gonna have to buckle down and discipline myself to really research stuff and then write about it. I just get so busy. I need to become more passionate about it and really make it a priority. I don't really know what holds me back. I'll have to ponder this. I'm thinking I should start finding a place like a Starbucks or better yet a CoffeeBean (free Wi-Fi! Wooo!) and plan one day a week that I go sit and write. Blog, stories, everything.

Taylor The Latte Boy

Don't be fooled by the post title. This has nothing to do with Kristin Chenoweth song, but I love her and I love the song, and I'm listening to it now, so why not?

Goodness, it's been a while since I've posted.....Sometimes I think my life just isn't interesting enough to blog about every day. And then if something of interest or potential does happen to me, I dare not jinx it by posting it on my blog. Superstitious, I know, but it's hard not to think the world revolves just to screw you over sometimes! Nice thoughts for a Christian girl like myself right? *sigh*

I have faith in God and I know He's got my back, but that doesn't mean I don't have the same feelings as everyone else! Some people make that mistake about Christians I think. We're allowed to have doubts and feelings. Our lives are far from perfect!

What has happened since I last posted? Ah! Well first of all, I waited until that Thursday to buy a new phone, the Blackberry Curve 8900. I went to the store, renewed my contract and bought the new phone. I LOVE it, I played with it on my way home. I get home, start doing my workout, and then Pacific Theaters calls.....they found my phone! Of course, so I ended up taking the new phone back and kept my old phone. It was very sad. But I'm thinking I'll keep my old phone through the summer because I don't want to lose or mess up a new phone while going to the beach or other summer type activities.

I'm So Naked Right Now....

Went to see Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian today. Really good movie, maybe even better than the first one. I love Hank Azaria, he's amazing. I just wish he hadn't cheated on Helen Hunt:-\

It was very funny in my humble opinion. It's rare these days for a sequel to equal (that rhymes!) it's predecessor, let alone exceed it. The previews however did not promise a good movie line-up for the summer. Hopefully that's because it was a family movie.

I also saw Terminator: Salvation this weekend. I liked that as well. There were a few unanswered questions, but I was entertained.

You: That's great Gen, but when are you going to explain your lack of clothing?

Me: Ah yes! My nakedity....Well, after leaving the theater, I realized that I did not have my phone with me. I know I had it with me at the theater, yet it was not in my possession. It is officially missing. When I first called, it rang, now when I call it goes straight to voicemail. I'm guessing someone found it, but who knows. You'd think they would pick up or something, if they were any kind of decent. Yes, it's a Blackberry, but it's only a Pearl and it's rather beat up, why would you keep it?!?! And of course I just got internet for it on Friday.....and of course T-Mobile is closed to day because it's a hoiday so I can't even suspend my service. What are the odds of that happening? *sigh*

I have been terrible with my blogging. I knew I would drop the ball, but I'm hoping to pick it back up again. I think my next blog will be a tribute to some original bloggers....Maybe that will keep me motivated.

La'az!

Don't Get On The Boat, You'll End Up In The Middle Of The Ocean...

Had to be at work at 5 AM this morning! Blech. I had to make my alarm one of the obnoxious sounds on my phone or I would simply ignore it.

I peeled my eyes open reluctantly at 4:00. What a horrible hour to have to get out of bed! I don't think I'll ever really get used to it. All though I think I've had to get up at just about every hour possible between my job and doing background work.

Oh, Backtrack: Last night I got a text from the guy I met at the party, we were supposed to go see a movie on Tuesday, but he never called. I didn't text him or anything, I just figured whatever and was content to stay at home and chill. Anyway, I get a text at 10, saying that he his phone had broken and he just got a new one. Hmmmm. I mean I have no real reason not to believe him, and that kind of thing does happen. Plus, he was the one who asked me, so I don't think he would just be trying to get out of it. It just seems a little weird to me, but I'm not the pouty-pissed-off type of chick, so I don't really care. However, I'm trying to me the new me when it comes to dating, relationships and guys. So, in lieu of the Old Me, I decided to not text him back right away, but to wait until the next morning.

Flashforward To Present:

Even though it was such a beastly hour, I had to be prepared for my whole day. I was gonna go to the beach after work since I got off at 11, but I was also going to the gym. One thing I hate about living 20 minutes away from the area that I conduct most of my life in is that I have to think through my whole day before I leave my house because I hate driving and wasting the gas. Once I'm on the westside, I'm there till I'm ready to rest my bones! So I put on my swimsuit, one of my new tops, and the shorts I wore as a Ghostbuster. It was cute. The top is Babydoll style though, which falls just below my thighs, and the shorts are short, so it looks like I'm not wearing anything underneath. No.....I'm not a slut.

Work was slow, not too much going on. I got to see my friend DL (not real name, as none of the guys' names in here are). I hadn't seen him in a while, so it was nice to see him again. We always seem to miss each other at work.

I had ordered a pepperoni pizza online at CPK. So I headed over to grab my lunch. I had to stop at the store for sunscreen and a drink. I was standing at the sunscreen shelves trying to decide which of the million choices was best, when an older gentleman said while he walked in my direction "Cute. Very cute." I turned to see who was talking and he smiled at me. Now, when I say older, I mean could be a friend of my dad's. I smiled politely and laughed awkwardly. Then as he passed he said "You should come on our boat!" I didn't really know what to say to that...so again, awkward laugh. Oh, yeah let me just go hop on your boat with you Mr. Strangeman! And why don't we just leave my car here, and I'll ride with you while we're at it! Then I can finally cross rape & abduction off of my wishlist!" Let me clarify, this is in the Marina, so there are boats around, so it wasn't a horrifically random invitation, but still! So I just awkwardly laughed until he went away. I immediately text Dawn, Ingrid and Allie. Dawn, Ingrid and I had been talking about how you never go on a boat with a guy cuz you could end up trapped in the middle of the ocean! We were joking, but here I was with an actual proposal!

He passed by again to go checkout, and again threw an invitation my way for this "Boat Party". Said I would be a "welcome guest". Yeah I'm sure. He didn't even say, "Oh, I have a son who would love to meet you!", no it was obvious I would be his guest. I'm sorry but if you're gonna be that old trying to holler at me, you better look like one of these guys:


And he did not.

Cue Awkward Laugh. Don't look him in the eye. Crisis Averted.

So I finally reached my destination. I laid out my towel, put in my Zune, and read a magazine. It was really great! I just sat by myself for a while. After awhile I decided I just head out to the gym. So I started walking back to my car.

These two guys walked by as I was sitting in my car, getting ready to go. They were talking to me, and I joked with them as they walked. Then one of them said "Bye' as he kept looking back at me me. I said bye. Then I continued to get the sand off of my feet. I could see the two of them loitering in the area, looking like they had something to do, but the one guy kept looking back at me. I had sunglasses on, so I don't think he saw me see him. Anyway, they eventually came back over and introduced themselves to me. They were working on a music video they were filming on the beach (Truth! I had already scene the trailers and stuff, plus they had walkie-talkies! Hehe.), then the friend said he had to go to the restroom and left the other guy there. We talked for a bit, he seemed cool. He also had sunglasses on, but he seemed cute from what I saw. We're both from the same area. He could be fun to hang out with. He got my number, so we'll see where that goes!

Tomorrow is going to be even more hectic! I probably won't get home til late! Blah.
La'az!!
(FYI: That's "Laterz", but with the British absence of the "t" sound)

Star Trek, Wolverine, Shopping And A BBQ!!

Another Good Weekend Notch on my belt!

I decided to treat myself this week. I haven't been spending money, even when I got my tax refund, go me! So I went to the galleria and bought a few things. I actually bought six pairs of shoes!! I have NEVER bought that many shoes at once in my entire life! It was quite exciting. I bought some jewelry and tops too.

I really spoiled myself. I got a manicure a pedicure and got my hair did! I think I'm "spent", at least for a while.

After I got my hair done on Friday, we went to go see Wolverine. I liked it!! My brothers were complaining that it strayed from the comics. Yes it did, but it was still entertaining. The one thing that bugged me was that Gambit was making cards float, like mind control or something. But Gambit can't do that in the comics. So that was annoying, but the rest was very entertaining.

Saturday was my boss' birthday party. It was at The Parlor in Santa Monica, and it was 80s themed. I wasn't sure how I was going to pull a costume together, but I did it! I decided I wanted to go as a Ghostbuster. I found a tan shirt at Salvation Army and some cute tan shorts at JC Penney's that I can wear this summer. I already had gloves. Then, it was crazy, I was going to try to find some black fabric to make arm bands, and I was looking on my bed for something, when I foud and arm sleeve my mom had made YEARS ago when I was minnie mouse. It was made out of black leggings. We cut it into arm bands. It was so random that it was on my bed. I mean I literally hadn't seen this thing since I was like 9, and it just randomly shows up when I need it. I was Spengler, glasses and all:

The party itself was a blast. I played beer pong agaisnt a guy that looked kind of like Matthew McCounaghey (sp?). My partner I were awesome. Unfortunately, they had to put the beer pong table away before we claim ultimate victory. We had like 8 cups left while the guys had about 5, so I called a win on our side. Of course they still said they were undefeated.

The bartender was VERY good looking. I really wanted to talk to him more, but he was so good-looking I just kind of froze up at the thought of talking to him. Now had I not been interested. Oh I would have been witty all get out! *sigh*

I was people-watching, something I enjoy doing at parties. They had rented out the upstairs section but random people were still coming up. It was awesome seeing people's faces when they saw all the 80s madness and was wondering what was going on. I met another gal named Catherine. Dawn had introduced me to her. We were having a good time. A few guys came up to us talked but we had our sights set on the bartender. I decided to go sit at the bar where I would be more likely to talk to him, seeing as how he wouldn't be able to come up to me;-)

While I was sitting there, a group of guys came by me. They commented on my costume, and then one of them started to talk to me. He was telling me about his job and how he has to commute from OC to downtown LA. I said I used to work at Disneyland so I know what that's like. Then he said he used to work at Disneyland! We found out we were there at the same time, both in foods. Small world! He was pretty cute and nice, so I continued to chat with him. His friends had left him, so he had to go find them. But he got my number first. I can tell I wouldn't really get a long with his friends, but he seems cool.

The rest of the party was fun, I hung out with Catherine most of the time. We're gonna try to hang out, we got along really well. I think we could be good friends!

Yesterday, my brother invited me to a screening of Star Trek. Before the movie, we went to his friend's BBQ. They had just moved into a new place and invited a bunch of people over. They were really cool. I'm usually weary of meeting new girls, but they were fun! I wanna hang out with them again. It's always a little awkward hanging out with my bro and his girl friends cuz there's a little flirting, and I'm never sure where I should look, haha!

Then his other friend who was going with us to the screening met us there. As it turned out, she went to college with Jamie, one of the girls who lived there! They did the girl scream when they saw each other, it was pretty funny and random. They hadn't seen each other since graduation.

After a while we headed off to Paramount Studios for the screening. I was actually excited to see the movie. Even though I'm not a bonified Trekkie, it looked like it would be good. It was soooo good! I want to see it again. My mom and dad are totally into Star Trek. They used to watch all the series. I want to go see it with them, and see if they like it. My brother's friend was there, whom I happen to think is extremely good-looking (Lord help me if he ever read this blog!). Yeah, unfortunately, I was looking slightly marmish because my brother told me to dress "business casual". While his friend's date was in a sexy top and pencil skirt. I didn't even try to compete. I just chalked it up as a loss. My second loss when it comes to that guy! Oh well...

It was a good weekend! I had fun, met new people, and got be a ghostbuster, who can complain about that?!
