blah blah blah

In reference to the last post, thank you to those who understand and have reached out to me to let me know that. I appreciate it. And just to clarify, I am not like slitting my wrists in a panic about this, I just have reached a point where I need my own time, and it needed clarified.. And since this is Jarblog, I have no rules so I post want I want. (remind anyone of Kenny from South Park "I do what I want" no? just me? ok)


Last Sunday was the VMAs at Radio City Music Hall. Me and my friend decided to go creep on them from the outside and celeb-watch. We got there at 5, but the preshow didn't start until 8. Unlike the rest of the 15 year old, tourist, and foreign fellow creepers, we did NOT want to just stand in the crowds for hours. We got some food then went back out to creep. More people were getting there, but essentially there was no where great to stand. I actually got a great calve work out from standing on my tippy toes periodically for so long. We kept wanting to just leave because we switched spots about 6 times, but each spot equally sucked. Despite our strong desire to just leave, we stayed because it was more embarrassing to say we went to the VMAs and didn't even stay see anyone versus only seeing parts of the people due to people flailing their arms and cameras in the air.


As we were waiting for the preshow to start, a local radio personality came up to us and was asking us questions. Questions like "Why are you here?" which is an embarrassing question when you're not 7 years old just waiting to catch a glimpse of the cast of Glee. (by the way, what the heck is that show? idk, but they were there and the young kids were excited) Also questions like "what do you think of Ellen replacing Paula on Idol" which was obviously a good move. Paula is lame and Ellen is hilarious. He was not too exciting although he was interviewing this little grandma asking her absurd questions which was cute/amusing. She was a sassy little thing. He said something about "did you know pete wentz had nude pictures on the internet?" to which she responded in the typical older lady voice "NO! now why would I need to know that?!"


There was a cool stage set up like someone was going to perform. False. Didn't happen.


If you look closely, there is a guy that semi, sort of reminded me on Geno Malkin.


Yeahhh that pic of Malkin is the one that leaked to the internet of his making out with some girl, but it works.

Finallllly, when the celebs staring getting there around 7, the crowd had gotten huge. Radio City was crowded all the way around.. everyone was obsessed. At this point, I realized I was older than I thought. They were announcing all these people to which 90% of the people, we would look at each other and say "Who is that?!?!" as everyone else was screaming. There was this particularly annoying young girl who was writing everyone's name down as they came out. Fine, whatever. But she was making, what appeared to be, a fake autograph book. Also, she would scream and almost cry at everyone that came out. Let me clear this up, we were not close. Not even kind of close. The guy beside me had binoculars if that helps emphasize how far we were. This girl was loving life though like the "celebs" were shaking her hand. Amusing for a while then just obnoxious. But I'm sure she was 14, soo I don't hold it against her. We did see some cool people though, but I will admit, binoculars were needed. Even though I had a decent enough view on my tippy toes, if it was someone big, everyone's hands went up and everyone else ALSO went on their tippy toes.

The guy behind us was dressed like he was going to the VMAs and also thought he was in them I am sure. He was there alone and when people who would come out who he liked, he would comment on their outfits like they were in a quiet room alone. "Oh my God, Amber Rose, you look amazing. I can't believe your outfit. You look so fierce."

So then we left the VMAs at prob the prime time of real celebs arriving but around 8:15 we were just worn out from being there. It was too crowded at that point and you couldn't see anything anyways. On my way home, I got hit on by the usual- a homeless man. I need to do something about my look that I am attracting homeless people. He greeted me in, also, the usual way. He said "Heyy baby. You wanna liv wif me?" No, thank you, sir, I think there is only room for one in that box. Can't I just be asked for a dollar or something?

As mentioned previously, Mindy's furniture is being sold on craig's list. Despite the "CASH ONLY!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!" disclaimer I put on all of the adds, which usually keeps away most of the scam artists, I still tend to think EVERY person who emails me now is fake. I got an email from a girl named Candy. What a bad name. Anyways, I researched her- and by researched I mean googled- and found out she was a real person and a Broadway actress that appeared in some legit shows, so I was kind to Candy. She came over today and brought her friend Andy- Candy & Andy: how great is that? Andy was smaller guy from the DR. He prefaced every sentence with "I tell the truth." For example, "I tell the truth. Love is hard to find. Sheesh. This city is hard to find love." Loved him. (not real love. love is hard to find, duh.) He mentioned his cousin played for the Yankees, of course I didn't know who he was, but it just goes to show every single person you meet in this city has some type of connection which is awesome to me. During this, Candy was like dancing around the room talking about her life.. interesting girl. I envy her obvious love of life though, I will say.

I went to Dunkin Donuts tonight to get my daily decaf, andI walked in and was greeted by a mental man who stopped in front of me and said "HIIIIII" *giant smile* kinda cute, but very funny coming from the semi-toothless, cheese danish ordering, large glasses wearing person. I only wish I had a picture. It was like crazy hour at the DD. There was group of these semi crazy people.. At first I thought it was like an adult field trip of some sort, but it appeared just to be some local crazies who were friends. As I was waiting for my coffee, one of the guys broke out in song.. it was actually pretty good which was shocking.

When I walked up my little friend said "I missed you! I have not seen you in two days!" He is just the cutest little kid ever. He then asked if I was in college, but I thought he said, "do you want colors" so that took a while to understand. Language barrier to the max here. He said one more year of working and he can go to college. This kid works ALL the time! and I am talking 12 hour days. He is such a hard worker. He still rarely gets my coffee right, but I don't even care. Whenever he handed me my coffee he said "coffee for my sweetie" I told him I was going to go home for a while, maybe a month, maybe a year, and he said "NOOOO! You have to see me all week! I will be so sad when you go.. SO SAD!" He makes my day all the time.

Which leads me to... I am going to Virginia next weekend for my grandparent's 60th (yay!) They are the only reason I believe true love exists. They are the cutest couple IN THE WORLD. You might think you know better people, but you don't. They are great. After Virginia I am going home for a while. This is either going to be a month stay or an indefinite stay. We will see. I might just move here in Novemeber.. why not?

  1. ha I love foreigners...especially when they talk. But that's not why I'm commenting. We both know that my grandparents are older, which means they're cuter! So stop lying to everyone about how you have the cutest grandparents...you don't! But I will give them a close 2nd.
