10:23 in the morning does not exist on Saturdays

I talked to Eve yesterday:
"Brenna, why do you call me 'Eve'?"
"As opposed to what?"
"Mom."
"Eve, I haven't called you 'Mom' since I was twelve, and you're just now noticing?"
"Apparently. Yes."

This made me something other than JO's gf and that girl who films things. It made me "that girl who wrote that blog":
http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=16174435&blogID=339712746

I don't know why I stopped making our lives more entertaining through skits:
http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=16174435&blogID=338587925

I got called "slightly emo." It reminded me of that time we got called "punks" and Lauren bludgeoned that guy with a crowbar and we were like "WTF, where did she get a crowbar?" Yeah, I don't really remember it happening that way either, even though it would've been cool if it had....that guy deserved it.

I'm Elise's favorite freshman, but then again, I'm pretty confident that I am the only freshman Elise talks to on a regular basis.

My roommate did a sketch with me for Late Night. It's going to be....interesting.

I won't reveal the name of the person I am supposedly in love with. There is a reason I didn't when I mentioned it the first time.

I'm in the process of designing my own major. I was going to give up and just pick a normal one (which is why I went to the majors fair), but I decided that a ton of paperwork would be worth a second major I would like.

One of my friends from home sent me a present. If he can send me a present randomly, JO can send me one for special occasions.

I filmed a thing from 11-1 today. In 15 minutes, I will be starting rehearsal from 2-9, with a short break to go film something else. I over schedule myself.

Today is a good day.

Apparently I don't blog enough

But Elise said that, and Elise is probably losing her memory because of her age. Maybe she just doesn't remember the last time I blogged....and since my past few days have been mildly craptastic, Elise, you get a sad blog today.

My bananaversary/coughiversary happened. Did he get me anything? Of course not. Did I get him something? Of course. Meh, such is life.

I went to the majors fair tonight and came out a lot less decided than I went in.

I kind of feel like I lost my best friend here. We never do any of the things we used to do together, and I don't really know if I can fix it. Boo.

According to Audrey I'm in love with one of the people I'm in a show with. However, I am not. I will not lie, however, the first thing you think when you look at said person's FB photos is, and I quote exactly what you WILL think, "Hot. Damn." However, I am not in love with him, because, as people who know me well know, I basically have to hate you at first in order to love you in the long run.

My roommate gets progressively crazier as the days pass. She ordered a Snuggie, and this is what I think of Snuggies:


My life consists of PemCo and NDtv...and SCUBA? Really, tonight was the first night all week that I did not get a sammich from Grab n' Go. So. Sad.

Bright light at the end of my otherwise desolate tunnel: They didn't charge me for my replacement ID, Jon Oliver is coming to see me next month some time....and Kate Ruth has a boyfran, a reminder that apparently good things do happen when you least expect them.

Fun. Tastic.

I find that adding "tastic" to the end of monosyllabic adjectives makes the English language more fun(tastic).
My favs (the holy trinity of tastic words):
Craptastic
Slutastic
Funtastic

Use them well.

Pet Peeve

Text abbreviations. Not things like "srsly," just things with numbers in place of letters. No wonder I hate texting with my mother.

Current temp: 8 degrees (because I know you will eventually ask, Catherine)

Kevin (while trying to put an image on the green screen behind me): Why is it that when I fill in your boobs, your arms disappear?

Me: Why am I see-through? Because I'm so freakishly pale?
Kevin: Don't worry, they like transparent skin in some countries.
Me: Like where?
Kevin: Like China.

Kevin: This is the most interesting conversation you're going to have all day.

Kevin: This is going to be the only promo ever with it's own blooper reel.

Maybe your mother liked your sister better than you

I got in a fight with a kid in my "Fashioning Colonial America" seminar about how he says women can't make sauerkraut.

Let's focus on the more important fact from that sentence: I'm in a class all about the clothes of colonial Americans. ALL about it.

I'm the new director (read: video switcher) for Late Night next year. Woot.

There is a light up Zac Efron window cling on my window....Audrey got it as a stocking stuffer.

I felt like a bad roommate after Audrey got me a million presents and I got her three craptastic ones so my friend Anna and I came up with this idea:
Me: [handing audrey a few sheets of blank printer paper and a box of crayons] Here.
Audrey: What is it?
Me: A coloring book. Be creative with it.

I wanted to write Audrey a note saying "Dear roommate, I'm sorry I gave you candy. I am not trying to make you fat." because secretly, I am.




jk.

I'm taking SCUBA as a PE rotation. It's about the only useful thing I will be taking with me from this place when I go home for the summer.

"Was that your boob, I thought it was my face."

Brett: Are you moving back to Florida after college?
Me: No, I love below zero temperatures.



"Can I wear green so the green screen replaces me with video?"
"No."
"What can I do then"
"Say the lines and don't look ugly"

"Do LDRs work?"
"Whats?"
"Long Distance Relationships."

I hate this place

My stepdad's truck barely fits in the garage at their new house. There is literally an inch of clearance in the front and in the back, so I had to crawl through the truck to go see him this morning.

When dem vids gon be up?

I was sitting on some ledge filming and I knocked something over. I was praying that it wasn't too noticable since I had earplugs in and couldn't gauge how loud it actually was. Next thing I know, the frontboy of Baby Ashton's band is like "Is everything ok back there?" and I gave everyone in the room a thumbs up, since it WAS loud and they were ALL starring at me. Fun.

Words of wisdom: never say anything witty to buzzed lesbians if you are a straight girl, it does not bode well.

Chad Jones had a look of pure TERROR on his face when we yelled "Surprise!" at him for his surprise party. That slut took forever to get there too, he's lucky we didn't just eat his cake and leave without him (effing Best Buy keeping him occupied). And we wasted the good surprise on Adam's brother.

Mattresses + boys from the Barn + long distances between the two = endless entertainment

Ashley's lil kid, Kylie, is the cutest thing ever.

Some girl was singing along with some song that was playing and she threw her hands up in the air, only to reveal very sweaty pits. Hi-larious.

You KNOW you are a stereotypical Southerner when iced tea flavored vodka sounds like the most delicious thing ever to you. I found out that existed last night.

Best. Thing. Ever.


Apparently me and Mel looked nappy enough to be hit on by the high/drunk/leather jacket clad owner of the "venue" tonight's show was at.

I lurv Bebe Ashton's band. I don't know their name. I call them "Ashton's Angels"

One of them sprayed himself in the face or had Brett spray him in the face with my pepper spray.

Why did Brett have my pepper spray? Because I wouldn't let him have my taser.

I got called "Jon Oliver's girlfriend" and "the girlfriend of a friend of the band" tonight. If I hear anything like those ever again I'm going to smack a ho.

We waited all night to see Aperture, since they got bumped to the end of the show due to the fact that 90% of the people there were there to see them.........30 seconds in, the cops shut down the place due to drugs.

Btw, this place was the backroom of a Tailor shop. Yeah, the people who hem your pants.


That's all I'm going to say and I'm not going to say who I'm saying it about.

The Walgreens manager I saw tonight looked like he'd been beaten in the face with a crowbar. Not because he was unattractive, which he was, but because his face was all bruised up, much like it would be if bludgeoned by a crowbar.

Thanks, Hernando Beach

Sadly, whilst on the way home from work due to a major sinus headache which I was rushing home to get my meds to take care of, I was clocked doing 60 in a 45 by a state trooper. Another sad thing was the tearing up of my eyes and running of my nose didn't help the MAJOR SINUS HEADACHE that still wasn't being relieved. GOOD NEWS: Thanks to HB, I know what date I took my last driving test to get my points off of my license last year, and it revealed to me that it was over a year ago, meaning traffic school can be applied to this ticket too. If I hadn't known that, I would have been screwed. Thanks, HB!

I'm "taking" my traffic school thing right now (aka, it's up on another tab I haven't looked at in approx. 35 minutes)

Pretty amazing, I would say.

No one has any good music I can steal

I realized today whilst walking out of work that, as usual, I had a pen in my back pocket. That brings the grand total of pens I have inadvertently stolen from my place of business to 13. I never remember to bring them back in with me the next day either and I'm pretty sure 13 pens in my pocket would be hard to explain.

I want to go to Cassadega (sp?) since that Wachuchu gul posted a bulletin about it on MySpace

I want to see Stevie before I leave. I get to see bebe (baby, not drink to those of you who speak Spanish) Ashton since he asked me to come to his show this weekend.

JO thinks this is a dilemma: Chad and Kate's bdays are the same day, who do you go see? Welcome to womanhood, Jon Oliver, we deal with these things er-day.

I am sleeping over at the Raleys tonight since me being alone in the Bville house all night alone just SCREAMS Unsolved Mystery story.

Best thing I've seen all day.

Jiffy Pop > Orvil Reddinwhateverbocker,

we're one mistake from being together

It's songs like Metro Station's seventeen song that makes me wish I was as stupid as a normal 17 year old girl who would actually care about and relate that song to her tragic love life.

The only thing tragic about my love life is that we're like an old (Jewish) married couple.

I went to Village Inn today with JO and stayed in the car while he got pie to go. Alan was managing and while I have nothing wrong with him, I was in no way wanting to be there until close listening to him rant in his chain smoker voice about....you know, I don't know what he rants about exactly, I zone out with him much like I do with everyone else.

My best friend got a blogspot. Someone wants to be cool like Brenza.....

ANOTHER one of my friends got engaged.

I realized today that not a lot of funny things happen to me when I'm in the HC. Sad.

My sister is having a birthday party on Saturday with a Scooby Doo bounce house (jealous?)

Not even plays about sex will get my boyfriend to like theater. JO is the straightest guy I've ever dated. Ughhhhh

I go back to that place in seven days.

I need to upload pictures and the Raleys need to stay put for more than 22 hours.

2009.

So begins another four months of me writing the wrong year at the end of dates.

The DJ last night insisted on referring to 2008 as "Two thousand zero zero eight." I didn't have the heart to tell him that that's not right.

We almost ran over this bag boy who hit on me at the grocery store the other day when we were crossing the Sand Key Bridge.

New years resolution: be nicer
Will it work? Never.

Happy new year.
