Finally Back on Track!

Hey girls!

I am finally back to blogging! It has been a good but eventful few weeks.

I don't really know where to start, so much has happened but nothing really major or funny. I have decided to go to Wallace this weekend with my friends and get my hair done next weekend. I cant decide whether to go see a band with my one roomate, or go to a birthday party with the other one! I will have to decide by 5. Both things sound so fun, and I dont want to hurt anyone's feelings!

This past week my brother made it to the soccer play offs, (I was one more proud sister!) my roommate and I surprised him and drove 5 hours from Raleigh to Shelby with self made pink and green tee-shirts to cheer him on with my mom and sister and all of the other fans! My dad was traveling thank the Lord, I really prefer him gone when i'm home. We got to the field about 7:00 Wednesday and got up around 6am Thursday to head back to Raleigh, it was worth every minute to get to spend time with my sweet family, and cheer Sambo on. Surprisingly, we didn't get lost on the way at all, although we did have a few close calls on the road! As you all know my driving record isnt spectacular or anything, but this time it was absolutely not my fault! This mini-van came up an exit ramp the wrong way! I was rapping away to "Here I Am"-great song!, anyways so this land whale is coming up the exit ramp like there is no tomorrow and I have to just pull to the side, I am screaming at her...but obviously she cannot hear me! I have a little bit of road rage in me! HAHA, and my roommate lays on my horn...I really prefer not to use my horn often because it can be so rude! This time, it was necessary! It was such a fun mini- road trip. We have decided we are driving to LA and back before we graduate, all 4 of us! I personally love road trips and riding in the car!

Last night, we all went to the Ducks Unlimited Banquet in Raleigh, I had the best time! They only had XL tee shirts, but that didn't stop me! I bought one, and am desperately trying to shrink it in the washer machine! When we got there, we had this great BBQ, and I of course had a G&T in my monogrammed tumbler! So much fun! They had a beach music band too, which is always great!

OH heres some juicy news! So I am still interning at the news station, and loving every minute! I finally have a tape in progress, but the guy that I work with definitely hit on me! UNAPPRECIATED!
He kept reading over my shoulder when I was texting my friends during a boring event we attended, and he kept asking who I was texting, if I had a boyfriend, who the boy was with me in the picture (I have a picture of me and my best friend as my back drop because HELLO we are in lilly!) and if I told my friends about him...eww! Oh, I should mention he is married with kids! Out of line, I think so! I faked a phone call and left, came home and told the girls ALL about it!
I decided to ignore it, unless it happens again but everything was normal yesterday at work. Everyone is friendly, but I just think that was a little far. I could be overreacting though, who knows!

I was so excited to hear that as a Whale Rep I got a $250.00 gift card from VV for Christmas!! I decided to order two of the Fairwinds Fleece's in Reef Blue and Kelly Green. SO adorable! I asked my mom and sister if they wanted one because I truly felt bad spending it on myself, but my mom said I should spend it on myself, so I did. Oops, I still feel a bit guilty about that one, but I got a cute hat too that I can share with whoever, it is a gorgeous green!



















I am also getting a promotional package soon, so if I get stickers I will surely give some out on here!

I bought the cutest black Pencil Skirt from Ann Taylor with these hot pink flats with bows! Yes, they are very loud, but they were just me...and they were calling my name in the line to check out, so I bought them!

















There are great sales going on right now, and I just cannot wait until after Christmas! OMG! I almost forgot to tell you girls what I want for Christmas! Besides UGG's and clothes, there is one thing that I am just dying for! You are all going to think I am absolutely crazy but thats okay! So I won't lie I have been milking the melanoma card all week with my mom to get her to consider this purchase for Christmas! I (for fun of course) was looking on e-bay at actual spray tan booths...they are a couple thousand dollars so until I get famous and make multi millions a year it really is probably not a practical purchase! SO I found this other really cool tan machine, and it goes in your shower, doesnt stain ANYTHING, and sprays your whole body in 20 seconds! All you ever have to buy are the refils, and clean it with water...yes that is it! It retails for $400.00 but in my opinion, it was featured on the Today Show so it must be worth every penny!!
Alot of the comments in the feedback were from women who had skin cancer and got sick of paying to go to the booths. Personally, I get sick of it too, its so embarassing to be so pale and go to a tanning salon where people look like they just got off of a plane from Hawaii and then pay $30 every time I want to be tan for 7 days, why not buy the machine...see I am very convincing! If only I could sway my parents!

















Well girls, thats all I have for now! But I am back, and I will post again soon!!

I hope you have all had a great week!

Hey girls!

I am a horrible blogger this time of year! I am still reading all of yours though, I just have no time to post!

I went to the Ducks Unlimited Banquet with everyone tonight, and oh my gosh it was fun! I got a tee shirt and a koozie, and anytime I get a new tee shirt I am a happy girl!

Until I can find time to post more, here are 2 youtube videos (in this order) that you HAVE GOT TO WATCH! I have never in my life seen anything so funny! I was on the floor for an hour, not to mention I randomly burst out in laughter during classes just thinking about it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPsNi1k8Df4
( I love the whole entire video, but you can fast foward to 2:10 and your still going to see the funniest part!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1FBqwjzbSA
This is a guys reaction, and OH MY GOSH it is too funny!


I will post again soon.

I am headed either home to get my hair done, or to Wallace with my roommates for a concert?? Oh what to do, I just don't know!

I hope everyone is doing well!

Its Such A Beautiful Life

Hey girls!

I have just been so busy the past few days, and I have been a horrible blogger! Oh well, im back!

I will start with Thursday, the day before Halloween!
That night, I got to go to my internship and I got to go out with a photographer, I always work with the same one and he is a really fun guy to work with! I started my first DEMO TAPE! I have two successful stories on that thing so far thanks to the wonderful people at News 14. They are some of the friendliest most personable people I have ever met. Truth be told, I hated the internship at first because nobody knew I even existed (even in my brightest Lilly, I was invisable! haha!) Anyways, Thursday night, I went first to a trailor park where a 19 year old girl was kidnapped. She was found like 2 hours after it happened though because the dumbass that kidnapped her drove a custom painted car with "Budwiser" written on the hood and doors. This world is just filled with classy people! When the anchor said it on the news, I swear I almost died laughing because I dont know how someone can say that so seriously!

After that, I went to McTeacher Night at McDonalds. I think it is such a great fundraiser, but the name makes me laugh! I saw the cutest kids who all wanted to be on TV. We interviewed alot of people, and got free McDonalds! It was great. McDonalds did this fundraiser and all of the teachers were cooking the food, and serving it. It was really neat to watch!

After that, we went over to "Take Back The Night", a rally to raise awareness for sexual assault and rape at NC State. It was very meaningful and alot of people there were very adamant about putting an end to this stuff. It was great to get to interview them. I am so happy because that was my first story on my demo reel! I also have had the chance over the past few weeks to meet other reporters and photographers from neighboring news stations which has been great for connections, and also everyone is like one big team! It is really just the best job I have ever had!

I have been interviewing for part time jobs in radio and TV because my adviser says im up against 100,000 kids and if I wanna be on the air before I am 30 I better get a job. Well, that just scared me to death but I am pretty sure this is what I am meant to do, so Gods got a plan! Ill be alright! Regardless, I interviewed at a radio station this past week, and sadly it is just not something that I want anything to do with. I turned the job down, but then was offered 2 more part time jobs at neighboring stations, but I just cant take them! One was a Spanish station, i'm sorry but I am in French! I would be miserable! They want me to work Thanksgiving and Christmas too! Now for all of you who want to say "thats the way the world works" I am still 20 and I could never not be with my wonderful family on those 2 holidays!!

I have 1 more interview this week with the biggest radio station in Raleigh, and the hours would be better so I am going to see how it goes. I am very tempted to see if News 14 has any part time jobs because that would get my foot further in the door. I also had the best, most encouraging conversation with the News 14 anchor in my hometown. I got to know her well this summer, and she is so good at what she does! She gave me so many wonderful pieces of advice. I told her my goal was to finish school, work in news for a bit and then go to NYC and go to acting school, thankfully my parents agree with what I wanna do, so I will just see where I go.

Speaking of acting, I got a call back on one of the submissions that I made, CSI:Miami called me!!I know, I was in shock too! They said all I need to do is get more head shots made, and to get a part with them I need to be in NYC permanently. So I didn't get the part, but for them to call was amazing to me! How cool! This girl called and she gave me so much advice and websites to go to and phone numbers to call for acting parts! She told me how to contact casting directors, and gave me her password to use for the sites so I could look around! What an angel!

I feel like my life is really coming together and my dreams are coming true one step at a time!

Anyways, so about Halloween. Thursday we had a party at our house, I actually had to work until 11 because a man was shot and killed at a movie theater so we covered his memorial service which was held at the same theater! I added more to my resume tape! I got done there at 11 and headed home for what would be one of the most fun nights of the year! Yes, my costume was out there, some of you may think I am just the biggest bitch on the planet but thats okay, because I had so much fun in it!! Halloween is the one night you can get away with anything anyway! I kept picking up things for it all week, I will post a picture, because I was... Welfare Barbie!

Another night, for a party we went to in Chapel Hill last Saturday I was a mouse with my friend, we were 2 blind mice because the 3rd one decided to go Anna Kuornakova on us! Haha!

And, finally on Halloween, I went to a friends house for a party, and then we left and went to another party at Delta Sig. I was really tired though, and the cops came so we left and then came home and had a Michael Myers Marathon!

I had to call the cops again last night because 2 men snuck in our basement and were BANGING on the basement door...the cops took 15 minutes to get there, and didn't believe me!! Then they found 2 teenage boys, but still said they were trick-or-treaters and we shouldn't worry so much! Assholes, I will worry if I want to! Quite the Halloween!

Here are some pictures of Halloween and one more from Ring Dinner!
