The secret to being me
Coworker: "how do you work here and not do email pitching?"
Me: "I noticed no one else was doing social or digital and it's fun, so I just started doing it."

A lesson for every year
Age 1 - A big smile and a hair bow go a long way in disguising a bald head (cont: age 18)
Age 2 - Speak up for yourself if you want a cookie (cont: age 24)
Age 3 - Play nice - people notice when you don’t and you might get kicked out of nursery school
Age 4 - Make the best of a new situation, even if it’s a downgraded playground
Age 5 - Cute boys will break your heart, but the experience...

I can't even begin to compete
Me: danced away shit at the Twitter party last night and had acid flashbacks from when we were at the club
26: hung out with jonathan and danger mouse last night...still drunk
When at work
I sometimes feel like I tricked someone into paying me to spend all my time online.

Maybe it’s the lack of sleep talking, but this is the funniest thing I’ve read all week.

I've had the following realizations today:
1. “Oh shit, I am giving a presentation to the agency now.”
2. “Crap, I was about to shit talk in a public tweet”
3. “Wait, Krumpet is driving up from Santa Barbara and crashing at my place tonight?”
4. “That’s right, I am on this team, not that team”
5. “I’ve made 2 Facebook Pages, 2 Apps, and a web page in the past 24...
Frustration is...
Getting what you want up front, then having half taken away from you.
The general remedy is to just deal. And when “just dealing” requires a lot of work, it’s easy to become apathetic.
I don’t want to be apathetic anymore.
Ethan: let's finish these beers and go to that intel party.
Weston: Hold on!! I am texting my mom. No, seriously
..and then we got rear ended by a SUV
Me: How long have you known how to ride a motorcycle?
My Date: About a week, just learned how to stop this thing

Don’t be ashamed, Hilary. We would do the same too.
Actually, if a guy proposed to me with a robot that walked into the room carrying a carton of Faberge Eggs, I would seriously consider a menage a trois.

My Ski Mix
…a.k.a. most epic mix EVER!
These are the songs I listen to on repeat when skiing - apologies in advance if you were ever on the chairlift while I sang “Party in the U.S.A.” while waiting for my friends.
“Final Countdown” - Europe
“Halo” - Beyonce
“Don’t Stop Believing” - Journey
“You Belong with Me” - Taylor Swift

We were without power twice this week...
And my roommate George is pissed about it. So pissed that he’s filing a claims form to PG&E since they wouldn’t discount our electric bill. According to the email chain, these are the items we are claiming:
Everything in the fridge (including useless condiments)
Nice bottle of champagne
A carton of Faberge Eggs
Movie tickets to Valentine’s Day
Movie tickets to Up in the...

We have a movie, folks!
“Ok I just encountered some drunken sea lions & got them to sign a contract agreeing to star in (but waive their rights to) our new version of Daylight. They don’t seem like very professional actors, but you’re a good editor. Also, we may need to bathe them. It’s going to be JAWESOME!!”

Catching up with friends...
Me: aren't hobbies great?
Her: I know! I can't imagine how I lived before! What did I do? Just sit around and try to get laid? Oh, tomorrow I play a crack addict and a slut. That's not typecasting, right?
Sometimes I miss L.A.
So far today I’ve seen three blog posts discussing various friends’ artwork/design stuff. I wasn’t surprised that “playful” and “trippy” were common themes describing their work.

An excerpt from a friend's facebook note
Someone asked Daddy if he wanted a boy or a girl. “Duh, a boy,” was his resposne. “What if it’s a girl?” someone asked. “I don’t want a girl, that’s gay.” Now, I’m legitimately afraid for the unborn child, especialy if its genetalia proves unpreferable to the father. Most would consider the act of reproduction to be a predominately...

What I think about whenever I go to Bloomingdales
Just in case you forgot, getting down on one knee with a ring doesn’t count. I only consider marriage proposals offering a carton of fabrage eggs and waffles.
Coincidence?
Just found out that the alpha ex is engaged. This, coupled with yesterday’s 500 Days of Summer experience and revulsion to clingy guys makes me think it’s time for something new. Maybe this something new means it’s time to stop avoiding commitment (but not fall into something just for the sake of it).
Truthfully, I have no idea how to go about that. Instead of figuring it out...

I have a freaking break through on the video I’ve been editing all week. I am about to start dancing in the aisle of this plane and couldn’t care less about the crying baby behind me.
(500) Days of Nonsense
This movie is pissing me off and providing a sense of masochistic amusement that only things that mimic real life can do. I think I am watching my current romantic dilemma unfold before me. The facts are these:
Intense beginning of a relationship, check
Girl sets expectations for nothing serious, citing her perpetual fear of commitment, check
Things flame out with the boy going off his rocker,...
…btw so happy there’s a movie out there where the girl isn’t the hopeless romantic. MORE CHAMPAGNE please!
15 minutes into the required champagne & (500) days of summer on virgin America and I am already obsessed. And really want someone to watch this. More importantly, I want sing gigantic.
