rah rah sis boom bah

urgent update

some opinions:

the sandwich: completely disappointing.

how much bacon and bacon-flavored product canadians eat, judging by content of commercials: yuck.

ned and stacey: dumb.

u!s!a! u!s!a!

okay i'm coming back "stateside" or whatever fancy people who travel outside
the country a lot say. i'm doing that tonight. i really enjoyed vancouver, i
had a lot of fun and my talk was really a hit! there were a lot of 'important'
people there. in the sense that they're important to me but you've never heard
of them because you know, you're a normal person with like a life. and
interesting interests. and stuff.

but yeah it was a little daunting at first but then i think i got into it and
did a good job. it would be interesting to see from an outsider's perspective.
i got some compliments but they were from friends so i don't know how much to
believe them. i got some really good questions and interest from some really
smart people who are really admirable and famous. so that was pretty awesome.
oh and the applause. sweet god i live for applause.

now the cathy santonies have the hour long performance on weds. let's hope that
goes welll as well. since last time we stretched it out a L O T and only came
to 55 minutes. i promised to learn some jokes about icecream, but i'm not so
sure taht's going to happen. everyone put some funny jokes in the comments
section. clean ones are better because for some reason i'm picturing a lot of
old ladies sitting out in the sun getting heat stroke, eating ice cream, and
looking really offended.

okay i have to tell you a story about egg salad. once when i was in japan, i
was starving, just really hungry. i was walking around some really metropolitan
place where all the restaurants were really expensive, or maybe they were
already closed, or something, i don't remember. anyway i was starving, really
starving, and feeling sorry for myself or something and i went in a 7-11 and
they had egg salad sandwiches. i bought one, cuz, hey, why not, right? it was
THE SINGLE MOST DELICIOUS sandwich i have EVER eaten in my LIFE. im' not sure
why. it wasn't especially special. there is something about japanese egg salad
on white bread with the crusts removed that just totally rocked my world that
day.

anyway the first day i was here, there is a 7-11 by the hotel, and i went in to
get a 7up diete or something french like that, and i saw it. Egg Salad
Sandwiches. i have been thinking about those damned things since then. even
though i have had some really incredible and awesome food in vancouver (which
has also been really cheap). so i'm getting ready to leave soon and i'm going
over to get one. it better be awesome. i don't know why, but i think it will
be.

okay so yeah i'm actually not too nervous about my talk anymore. I used to be
semi-okay with public speaking before I went to grad school. what happened? i'm
like a nervous nellie now.

anyway does anyone else think that footage of candy factories is like the
awesomest thing ever? i love canadian TV, they have a whole channel with just
that, i swear.

howitismade.net

i just learned how they make twizzlers!

anyway tonight i am going to the beach to see some fireworks competition or
something. it's an international competition. tonight is italy's fireworks.

anyway i walked around vancouver a bit today, it's pretty cool. it's hard to
tell what a city is like from just the downtown tourist area. so i'll have a
better idea after we walk across town for 45 minutes to get to the beach for
the festival.

okay rad

xo

okay i'm in vancouver. yes it's a really beautiful place. the hotel is
cool. i guess i'm ready for giving my talk but yuck public speaking. okay
i have free internet so yeah. okay i'm tired, sorry this is a really
uneventful post, no danza news. outie!

dan: dj, keep stirring that or else it won't be chili.
dj: my arm hurts, and i don't even like chili.
dan: well you like science don't ya?
dj: yeah
dan: chili is science
dj: how
dan: it's chemistry. chili represents your three states of matter, liquid,
solid, and eventually gas.

i love it, i'm almost done with the 4th season.

did anyone else watch the danza show today? no? anyone? yeah I'm not sure
why I did but...


kathie lee was on and brought a poster that was a mock-up of the brokeback
mountain poster, with the cowboys pictures and whatever, except it said
"brokeback danza" and the cowboys' faces were covered with photos of danza
and regis philbin. i'm not really sure I understand this little piece of
culture. i mean, i *get* it but really?..no.

UPDATE URGENT UPDATE: danza just gave kathie lee "mesh underpants". she put
them on her head and asked "is this workin for ya?"

i just heard him yell out "Mein Fuhrer! I can walk!"

oh jeopardy

it's very important to go to

so thanks everyone for your comments. I knew you would all be like "watz
up ur cool that gurl'z dumm." but still it's nice to hear.

because i know I can come off like this but it's basically just because
I'm shy or i get overwhelmed with a large group of people I don't know,
especially if they're not that friendly. so uh yeah

plus girls in general do tend to think i'm "different" or "boyish" i
think. i
dont' have many feminine sorority type of girl friends so i don't think
about that much how weird i am for a girl. nor do i actually know whether
i'm weird for a girl.

but yeah it's all good...thanks for saying nice things about me and maybe
generally understanding that i'm not crazy.

i just like to think i have a pretty good grasp of my pros and cons. i
think we all know people who have personality problems but don't realize
it. like someone i know that maybe a couple of you know too who everyone
doesn't like because she's too harsh but she thinks she is "loveable and
carefree". yeah. don't name any names. but it's none of you. i enjoy
living in reality and generally being in touch like a terrific young today
kind of woman.

thanks stacey, you've never reminded me of ally sheedy either. i hope you
have a good housewarming!

liz--yeah I think it's the same with me. thinking too hard or it's just
the way my face is. i am not mad either, just look like it i guess. i'm
not good at being fake happy or nice. i think the eyebrow awesomeness is
probably difficult for people to grasp.

mom--thanks, i really like the phrase terrific young today kind of woman.
i think i'm going to put it on a t shirt. i guess we do have a lot of
things in common too. "my mommy taught me to say bite me to you. so bite
me." who else has gotten advice from their mom that includes the word
"dicknose"? I think you're right about where my attitude came from. haha

laura--you're the only one who knows my secret jock identity. now i'll
have to tape your buttcheeks together.

jessy--i've never seen maid to order. i'm going to put it on my
netflix. and why did you get called edward scissorhands?

and thanks melissa, you are very perceptive so i'll buy what you say. :)
next time someone points out my character flaw to my face i'll just say,
like i told you, "i'm so fucking nice bitch so shut it".

who said the thing about the asthma attack? my sstr?

also if anyone would know my character flaws, it would be mike. yeah i am
a huge bad ass thanks. that's why i cried twice yesterday when snickers
attacked me. and cried until you got me a popsicle. but i did fess up to
"demanding on boyfriends".

hello bloggerinos

a couple of weeks ago someone described me as "mad at the world" and
compared me to ally sheedy's character in the breakfast club. now, she
might have been joking but i take offense at that. this is not the first
time that someone has compared me to this character. maybe its true. also
people have told me that i'm intimidating and appear standoffish and that
i don't get excited about things. i'm sick of people who don't know me
thinking that they do. i don't even dress all in black. what the eff?

things i am:
sarcastic
smartass sometimes
kind/caring
helpful
awesome
a little chubby
smart
funny
generous
demanding to boyfriends
occasionally grumpy
whiny/lazy
someone who lets a grunge rocker cut her hair
nice to strangers
generally happy person

things i am not:
ally sheedy
ally sheedy's character in the breakfast club

someone with dandruff
a member of the brat pack
someone who has been addicted to sleeping pills (like ally sheedy)
someone who needs a makeover from molly ringwald

week. we are pretty much ready for an hour long set. that's pretty
cool.....
