hosted a show the other week just for a day about a new red bull mxt truck they decked out so it doubles as a dj stand with 2 xboxes and 4 big screens and huge sounds system its cool and i got to drive it and give it a car wash and asked the mexican guy in spanish at the car wash if he thought he could fit his whole family in the truck and he said yes and i said dont think so cuz theres a dj stand in it HAHAHAHAHA and be stupid on camera so it was the funnest day ever, and the camera guy mavro from the shoot called me a few days later and asked if i wanted to be on an mtv show pilot with corey bohan (red bull bmx athlete) and his friends), so i called corey and he said i could bring some friends too if i wanted so i brought my 2 roomates lauren s. and tina- we went with the bmx'ers on one of those hollywood star tours all around in a van convertible haha it was fun cuz whenever they saw a random person, like a random girl on her bike riding past us they'd be like omg miley cyrus!! look its miley!! agh!! and the girl would be like wtf and they did that for random ppl like omg its matt damon!! when we drove past ppl's houses there were paparazzi waiting outside nearby their cars a lot of time it was interesting!! and at tom cruse's house there was a random girl sleeping on his curb. then we stopped by the DC clothing company store and they let us in even though it just closed cuz a lot of the guys were sponsored by DC and there was a big poster of corey on their wall haha so we all got to pick out free stuff!! i got a sundress and a cute jacket yay! they gave our tour guide girl a hat too. then we ate at california pizza kitchen for the second time that day and all the guys got salads and the girls got pizza and stuff... that sounds opposite. then they showed us some bike tricks in lauren's living room. then i went to bed and woke up and did a spanish dating show the next day called '12 corazones' (12 hearts) (& told them i had a boyfriend tho so i wouldnt really be matched with anyone) -- where there were 8 girls and 4 guys and we discussed boy and girl personality differences and answered questions like 'what would you do if you liked too many boys at one time' i said i only like 1 boy at a time but my great grandma bunny on the other hand had multiple boyfriends at once that didnt know about each other cuz they lived in different states. and i had my pink guitar so i would sing my stupid answers sometimes and they were short a girl on the show so i got to invite lauren d. she didnt understand anything going on and just kinda sat there and smiled haha but it was awesome. see mom look im using my spanish major. thought for sure no one would ever see the show anyway cuz pretty sure it just aires on spanish channels and in mexico lol. then i get a call from my friend pat who hosts a show on fuel tv and is like... my girlfriend (speaks spanish) and i, are watching you on tv right now. nice spanish songs.' thanks patrick.
and now today im in bed all day kinda sick and worn down cuz i was like go go go go go the whole week and my body was starting to shut down. went to a concert last night cuz i promised tina i'd go but i was just like blah and no fun cuz i was exhausted. plus ive moved 3 times since ive gotten to cali and i might move AGAIN! cuz the girls im living with are moving so im going with them, probably just down the road though :p
i was an extra in the fray music video a few nights ago, started at 5pm and ended at 6am, i got too tired and cold and left around 1am but it soooo interesting, ill blog about it another time cuz i signed a disclosure that said i cant talk about it til its released, not that they would read my blog but just incase haha, but made friends on set and got invited to a party which turns out to be a bday party for emile hirsch...(click his name)... at this brian grazer's house...click here... he's one of the biggest producers in the world and the house was worth 20 million dollars!!! look at the list on that site of all the flipping movies he's produced geez. the guest house was as big as my house, the view was incredible, they have a home theatre room, and they are moving into a different house soon and ben affleck/jennifer garner are moving in. i apologize that i just name dropped a million times but i thought all that was pretty cool! my friend lauren also informed me that andrew keagan was there too but i dont know who that is but it sounds cool haha. sorry again for the name drop. here's another one... im a new host client to marki costello and a girl erin from the show 'the city' is a host client to her too so i met her the other day haha k im done!
... today i went to a kickoff party at red bull hq (for a snowboard event happening this weekend that i'm not attending) and on the way out my friend brooks said hey the plants on the way out are edible, so i ate a flower and then turns out he was lying. then the other day josh and i played a trick on jason- josh told me that last week jason wrote josh's name on a dollar bill in tennessee and then spent it. so i called jason the other day and told him that i bought a treat at a gas station here in cali and a dollar bill in my change had josh's name on it-- he's been freaking out since then like oh my gosh what are the chances seriously there are 600 million ppl in the US and it got from me to you this is so crazy blah blah blah so then me and josh called him on 3 way today and broke the news to him haha, drove to san diego for a job interview and got it- promotional modeling for a rock and roll style clothing brand called dirtbag clothing, i'll model their clothes and then 10 min after i left they called and said they want me to host shows for them too cuz they sponsor a lot of bands so whenever bands like hinder (random example they used) roll through i would get backstage and do interviews and stuff yay and they started warning me that tommy lee from band Mötley Crüe licks people's face when he meets them so to watch out. now i have to research band knowledge beyond just taylor swift haha. stopped in at my aunt and uncles house for dinner while i was in san diego, my little cousin emma who's nine gave me a lot of girl scout cookies which i ate a lot on the way home traded 2 cookies for water at mcdonalds. she also texts and calls and emails me many times a day, but i do enjoy it, she's quite entertaining and tells me about her crush she has that held her hand once. i got my car brakes fixed but they still sound like im running over a batch of kittens when i brake so i should fix that again.
ok so i was guna be on that reality show in hermosa beach. there were going to be 7 girls total, i was sharing the master bedroom with my friend cassandra (she works as a producer for my manager marki and --as a side note-- we are working on show ideas together to plug to networks she is cool we work out and brainstorm and get overly excited). we were not paying rent in the house, food was paid for, it was a 4 million dollar house on the beach, ......but the producers never quite got their stuff together. there was blue tape on the walls marking where the cameras should eventually be (they were slow at getting started and didnt have cameras in yet), the house had mattresses to sleep on but not furniture yet, the idea was for it to be a truman show documentary about living in LA, every room of the house (minus the bathrooms) would be live 24/7 online, and sometimes cameras would follow us to auditions or whatever gigs we had going on already in life-- just documenting how we lived our separate lives. they were also going to make episodes for TV as well. i had funny plans with the 24/7 cams when they were up i was guna make faces at them a lot or my friends could call if they were watching me and i'd wave at them. one girl in the house had magnets in her blanket to release the positive ions in her body or something.
then the show took a quite different turn when the producers gathered us girls in the kitchen with cameras and lights ready and said to wait around cuz a special guest was coming over. turns out the special guest is a stripper dressed as a cop- i realized this decided to go for a jog. another girl decided to nap. nobody really cared about this special guest being there. fact is i have nothing against strippers- its just not the image i want on camera. 15 minutes after the producers left the house that night we all got text messages saying to move out by 5pm the next day because they want girls that will do what they want. fine by me. i later asked them what our special guest had anything to do with 'making it in LA' (the title of the show), they said they had changed their mind and had decided nobody wants to watch us going to auditions but would rather watch girls get drunk and naked....... sooooo i moved in with lauren (from paris hilton bff show) and tina (makeup artist), they both left the show too. so now i live in north hollywood and its awesome though i love it-- been here for 2 days hha-- close to everything--
my lesson for this week... (see look mom im using my teaching degree) to anybody reading this -- dont lose your morals no matter how deep in you are you can always get out and things will get better. i gave up my lease in santa monica and to move into that big house. that big house had free rent and free food--kinda tempting to do watever you can to keep that deal going cuz dang its a sweet deal, especially here when its expensive to live in cali and there was potential to make A LOT of flipping money in that house once it was online or on TV-- and i definitely have school loans to pay off-- DOESNT MATTER! id rather go broke and move to iowa then ruin my career and life on a trashy reality show
my friend london had a bday party a week or so ago, the bday directions were to wear blue or pink, and write her a poem to recite to her at her party and we would be eating h'orderves -- i wore blue and wrote a poem about how she hooked me up with a date so i could attend her high-school prom on top of the ids tower in minneapolis during highschool cuz she went to a rich private school and i thought proms were fun haha, at that prom i met liz (who was also attending that prom from another school) and randomly asked if she wanted to be my college roomate the following year when we realized we were going to the same college she thought i was kidding at first and now we bffs still-- then after prom i asked liz if i could go on a date with her cute prom date she said go for it he's weird so i did and she was right he was weird... (sorry andy!!)... anyway at londons party one of her friends is the personal assistant on the ellen degeneres show and said that whenever fan mail comes in she gets to sort it and keep all the starbucks cards cuz elen doesnt like starbucks, but the girl doesnt like starbucks either really so i offered to have them. then i thought of this scheme to go on all the elen degeneres fansites online and start rumors about how much she effing loves starbucks and then hopefully watch the cards spill in... but i haven't followed up with that girl since the party and i probably wont just cuz id feel bad.
oh AND big news im so happy!!!!! i got picked up as a client by Marki Costello!!! one of the best hosting agents in LA!! she represents all the big hosts, ones on E, the WB, the guy who hosts Animal Planet i think, yay!!! (but minus ryan seacrest) and her grandpa was lou costello (from the 1950's comedy show 'Abbott and Costello') here's her site... click here... can you find me?! wee! i was pretty happy about it cuz i heard from my hosting friend paul that she was the best but good luck getting her so i called and her assistant was like no you cant even meet with her so i gave her my website anyway which i guess she looked at cuz she called me back the next day and was like..... we usually don't do this but love your reel and marki wants to meet with you. so i met with her yesterday and she picked me up as a client yay!!! and when she found out i can edit too for a side job im helping edit other hosts' and actors' reels for the company. and today when i went back to edit the assistant was telling people on the phone that 'no sorry marki is not looking to represent anyone right now' -- im so lucky!!! meow
its funny/interesting watching people come in and out of the apartment here auditioning to have my room... its really like an audition cuz all the roomates bombard corner them in a room with 21 questions and we ask them if they have any talents to entertain us with haha, even though im the one moving out i ask just as many questions just cuz ppl are so interesting. and i take notes sometimes. we get some really interesting ppl... one guy here now has a huge feather dangling from his left ear. i told him that when he left we were going to talk about his feather. he is all about positive energy which he says we have yay and he feels he connects with his girlfriend from past lives and he is a fire dancer. another girl came in the other day dragging behind her a 4 year old kid on a leash we are like ummm no. me and roomie kim say that even after we find someone we should keep the ad up and just keep having people come in and tryout pretending theres a room for rent cuz its just fun meeting them.
i read twilight book number 2 (new moon?) in a week i think, cant remember the last time i read but i loooved it. i really want to meet the cast now haha since im in LA-
i finished my book by thursday so i was bored in my room thursday night at 11pm, wasn't bored for long at 11:14pm our neighbors told us they were going to vegas with 3 of their girlfriends just for the night so my roomie marcie (who is actually from las vegas) and i chugged red bulls and got to vegas at 5am, hung out around the vegas strip til 8am when we went back to marcie's house to surprise her mom. 6 hours later we hopped back in our car and drove back to LA haha but within that 6 hours i took a nap, watched 20 min. of stepbrothers, and was shown around the side of vegas that a lot of ppl dont see because marcie actually grew up there. it was my cultural vegas experience and it was awesome. i saw her highschool, got vegas frozen yogurt, went to a gas station like a vegas resident, met her family including 17 yr old brother who mixes cereals, 23 year old brother who paints in the garage and sets up art tables to sell around the vegas strip, her mom works nights at a hospital, her older sister strips in NY (didnt meet her), her dog #1 looks like a raison and is so old with bows in its hair, dog #2 looks like a giant polar bear seriously gigantic and i took 30 pictures of it probably and it hates cameras so it was terrified of me and her mom said maybe cuz some ppl (and dogs?) think that everytime your picture is taken it steals your soul, so i stole that a lot, during dark we went to the 'edge of town' where the road ends to the west with a great view of vegas. a fence with a 'road closed' sign marked the west edge of vegas, took picture of it, dessert beyond it, creepy car parked on top of sand mound suddenly flickered lights like it was waiting for someone apparantly thinking we were it so was showing us their hidden location... just incase it was a bad exchange we were getting caught in the middle of we left so we wouldn't get murdered incase they felt we knew too much about their secret hideout or maybe it was just highschool kids kissing
saw spider on window on the way home, thought it fell on my lap, screamed, marcie screamed, slowed down, got honked at, pulled over, was just piece of paper that fell, spider still on window, ate the spider. just kidding threw it out window. got home to santa monica, realized i left my laptop and all things important at marcie's house. driving back 4 hrs there, 4 hrs back tomorrow with roomie kim starting at 6am to go grab it. crap.
hi! i went and surprised jason in nashville last week that was fun :) i told him my phone died but really i was flying to see him, one night we went to a movie about this florida city girl moving to minnesota, they stereotyped it so bad, like MN was nothing but a tundra of snow in the movie, snow and old ladies wearing cat shirts scrapbooking, with really bad minnesota accents making tapioca all the time, i guess they actually filmed the movie in canada and pretended it was minnesota. anyway we were walking out the movie talking about how stereotypical it was and then laughed really hard cuz we realized we were both in our comfs like sweatpants ha like we just walked off the movie set-- after nashville i went to san diego for a few days to visit my aunt/uncle/cousins and my mom flew out from MN to visit them too so we all hung out, my 9 yr old cousin hannah has a horse so we went and pet it, it literally smiles when you feed it, ugly smile, shows its teeth all funny, then we got yogurt it was self serve i had a lot, we went to michaels craft store and me and hannah hid in the fake plants and tried scaring shoppers but nobody walked by close enough, then i relived 4th grade prank phone calls later, we called random numbers in the phone book or *67 on my friends and told them their credit card expired, that they won flatscreen TVs, sold girlscout cookies, or that we found their jaguar wandering loose around the streets of maine eating ppl
i can't remember the last time i read a book, but i liked the movie twilight so much i got the second book of that series so i was reading twilight 2 (aka new moon or something) and hannah was like im bored so i gave her my phone and told her to text my friends. so she texted all these random people in my phone and when i looked at my phone later it was so funny what she wrote like 'hi this is emma i'm NINE' and lauren wrote back like, 'hi emma this is lauren i'm TWENTY TWO' haha i duno i thought the capitalizing was funneh-- and then b4 she left she wrote to a lot of them like "bye jamie I'll never talk to you again srry- from emma" and was telling them about the boy in class ben she has a crush on and took pictures of his picture with my phone to send them for a better visual ---
then i drove back to LA with my mom and told my landlord i was moving out to hermosa haha and pet his cat while he got papers for me to sign and then started mumbling something about how his cat likes everyone else but him i didnt know if he was kidding or not seemed like a touchy subject
ps i went to pepperdine (university) yesterday to see a presentation that my friend paul put on-- 3 speakers (one girl worked for jakks toys (makes all hannah montana toys), one guy founded 'hopeless records' (band 'seven fold' is on it), and the other guy talked of a guy who turns garbage into worm poop and sells it). they told their stories and then i had lunch with them all afterwards and it was super interesting- the hopeless records guy (louis) turned legally blind about the same time he started the label, he gives a lot of the profit to charities-- we ate sandwiches-- and then yogurt mmmm-- and omg pepperdine is the PRETTIEST campus ive ever seen (i guess its rated 2nd prettiest in the world- 1st being somewhere in europe-- and its in the mountains of malibu, i started wishing i had gone to school there until i figured out that kids graduate and have 150,000 $ in school loans... hmmm nevamind. i took the long way home through the mountains and it was raining and i was scared of mudslides listening to taylor swift and then i saw a deer to my left and wondered where it went until i hit it and then i was like oh there it is
i'm going to be on a show! it'll start out on the internet and the producers are hoping it'll get picked up by mtv, nbc, spike tv or something eventually-- i went to the show audition last week and made it (maybe cuz i showed them i could talk with my mouth closed and told them i skinned chickens once in south america), so today i met with 9 other girls who made it (we met at top of huntley hotel in santa monica with the coolest view everrrr of mountains and the beach and LA), we are all moving into a big mansion on hermosa beach (havent told my new roomates im moving out yet ha i just got here like 11 days ago?), i think the show will be called 'making it in LA' or something--all us girls chosen have really different things going on in our lives and so each of our lives is like a different story line of the show! it just documents us as we do what we do what we already do! (some go to beauty school, one girl is famous in Estonia as a TVhost (really random country in Europe!), one girl is playboy model of 2008, one girl was on that Paris Hilton TV show where she looks for a BFF, one little girl wrestled in highschool and beat all the boys, and I didn't hear from every single one what their story was but the common thread is that we in LA doing whatever! So the producers will leave cameras around the house that we can just pick up and bring wherever which is MY FAVORITE THING EVER i'll be like sweet pancake party 2am wheres that dang camera, or hey random road trip to the gas station? anyway so funny cuz all us girls are bonding like crazy and the producers over there i heard them like... so much for having drama in the house they get along too good ha!!
ive loved living in this apartment though the 11 days it lasted cuz its super fun and interesting, my 3 roomates we are all so different but we get along so great!!- i love listening to veronica's stories (not real name haha i dont feel like saying the real one) cuz she can talk forever and about how she has a massive crush on this married exotic 23 year old guy who is married to a 40 year old girl. the roomate living in the livingroom is 19 and likes 37 year olds and the other roomate from hawaii is an import model and walks around in her underwear only when we have our guy friends over otherwise she locks herself in her room or goes on snowboarding trips to far away places. our 3 guy neighbors (2 are pool managers at bev. hills hotel, and one says that its the worst day of his life everyday cuz he hates his marketing job) (we brought rice pudding cup and cookie to the other day) we are getting to all be fast buds kinda like the show friends we take turns cooking each other meals and we were going to get walky talkies for each of our apartment-- and once i jogged home and high school girls were wrapping up a garage sale and gave me a free toaster and mini lava lamp night light. love santa monica, and the streets of the neighborhoods here are lined with big trees that almost touch overhead (thats one of my favorite life things) so its like jogging through mystical tree tunnels of awesomeness.
2 of my roomates and i went across our open air hallway (love it) to our neighbors to meet them, we brought tidings of one rice pudding jello cup and a cookie. 3 guys and a girl were there, they looked confused, just drank a red bull its 12 am hmmm bad idea? no red bull is never a bad idea. i love taylor swift. i dont care if she's younger than me i think she writes the best songs ever and she's awesome!! i have a taylor swift shirt, and a rascal flats one... im going to go write a song now on my pink guitar. my big guitar couldnt fit in my car on the way to cali but i fit my pink one. we dont have a vacuum yet... that needs to happen cuz im looking suspiciously at my floor. i love colors, i think people all decorate their houses the same these days... different shades of browns... a little bit of colorful accents are super. i live 5 minutes away from lauren- so cool that we've been good friends since high school in MN and now we live next to each other in cali!! i drug her out every week night last, she has an 8am-5pm job so this week she's like i can't do it!!!! she needs a break haha so we're like ok its chill week. next week on the other hand... our landlord (lives next to us- awkward?!) has a cat named bailey that always smashes itself against the window its so cute i smile when i walk past it and think of ways to kidnap it which obviously id never do but eventually i will get a cat like this: cat (click here)
its kinda cute but kinda ugly i like it so much, what should i name it when i get it?!?! seriously i need ideas. and this video (click here) is so funny me and lauren were laughing at this for over an hour ok cat moment done. I just searched facebook to see if there was anyone named fluffy and there kinda is so i think everyone should facebook fluffy (dont tell them i sent you) (it's the first person that comes up) sorry if this entire blog is really confusing and hard to follow.
im in LA!!!! i've jogged to the beach everyday since i got here!! except today i jogged left instead. and i went horseback riding on saturday. i think one of my room-mates is drinking my orange juice? ill draw a line on it and if it goes below my line again ill be mad haha!! watched the red carpet walk of the movie premiere 'he's just not that into you' today- saw drew barrymore how however u spell it, jennifer aniston, ben afflick, and scarlott johanson- that was kinda fun to watch haha took pictures, felt like a tourist, it was great. my friend marco was here for a few days this week (races indy) so me and lauren (friend from MN, lives in LA too, applying for law school) hung out with him and his friends, he kept telling his friends that i was leanne rimes and so they kept asking for my picture and telling me they liked my music- this other girl i was with (new friend kate) looks like the girl from 'the girl next door' girl Elisha-- we agreed to play along so we were Elisha and Leanne for a few nights of the week ha! marco also said that we missed new years in vegas cuz travis base jumped out of his top hotel window room at the palms with kid rock-- uhhh
i've been auditioning for some shows out here -- a few really cool ones -one was to host a show where i interview paparazzi, and another show where they'd follow me around like a reality show, those auditions were cool-- this other one i went to was not so cool-- an hour away, messy messy office in a strip mall type thing, and when i tried to give my resume to the producer (i have my resume, reel, and headshots on a customized zip drive) he thought i was giving him a virus so he wouldn't take it!! i asked what movies they had worked on lately and he said "Mexican Gangster 2" ... then he paused to check out 3 girls walking by. sorry not interested and glad i didnt waste my zip drive on you anyway. but hey it was an experience!! and a waste of gas.
oh ya stopped by the x games in aspen on the way to cali with my dad! (my dad drove with me- actually he literally drove the whole way ha!! while i played my pink guitar and we wrote some songs then he got sick of my pink guitar and told me to put it away and i was like DAAAD. buck was there watching x games (camera guy from red bull flugtag roadies show this summer), and so was my friend Trev (sings for thousand foot krutch- they had a show there for opening night) . its funny running into people you know at really random places. the day after we left x games, levi lavallee (red bull snow-mobile athlete) did a double back flip (first time in history!!) and almost stuck it but fell off oh well, thats why buck was there cuz buck had been filming/ documenting levi's training up til aspen.
i auditioned for spanish tv shows too cuz i can and i got a call today to be on a spanish dating show i was like no i have a boyfriend i dont need to find another ha! they were like.. please? we'll make sure you're eliminated right away if you don't want to be on it, .... um still no but good to know its rigged!
i've jogged to the beach everyday since i got here!! except today i jogged left instead. i think one of my room-mates is drinking my orange juice?
hmmm where to begin- i've been in nashville for 2 weeks --its 40 degrees below zero windchill in minnesota right now which is why next week when i get back from nashville i am driving to california and living there- not forever, just for a while cuz i've always dreamed of it! perfect world i pay off my school loans, get sweet jobs, and buy a pt cruiser convertible and jam a burned cd i will call 'my long awaited cruiser mix' with all my favorite songs on it, while cruising down by the beach with the top down with lauren my friend from minnesota who lives out in LA already. not so perfect world i run out of money and live in a palm tree. i already have a room i rented lined up for when i get there - living with 3 other girls in an apartment- one girl rented out the living room which makes rent really affordable for us especially for cali! (its so spendy there) living rooms are over-rated anyway. since im not there for the month of january i rented out my room for the month to a boy named christian who is sleeping on a white couch in my room that i found on craigslist (the only piece of furniture i've had delivered to my room so far).
at my friend allie's house right now- this is how i met her -- i was on facebook one day (year ago?) and got a message from a girl named allie that was like ... " hi jason its allie i met you on a cruise lets be friends on facebook " i was like sorry this is lenay not jason you have the wrong facebook but ill be your friend anyway haha-- and then i realized that it really was jasons facebook because he forgot to sign out and i thought i was on mine but i was not and i was like woops and wrote her back and said woops and the next time i was in nashville my friend aaron was like hey im at starbucks with a girl allie who says she knows you from facebook -- so i went and met them at starbucks ha! year passes by, i call her and was like hey allie i like writing songs on the guitar do you like singing? she said yes. do you speak spanish? she said yes. ok if i drive to nashville wanna sing songs with me in spanish and make a cd? sure. so i drove to nashville but we decided to screw the spanish and just sing english--so i guess u could say we are starting a band and its actually turning out really good! i even brought my friend/photographer/myspace designer/sara with me from minnesota to help get things started-- we are recording 4 songs for a demo- we've been working with a producer all week and have been filming a lot of it- im leaving tomorrow but since we are not quite done with recording he has a studio in LA too so allie can keep finishing her parts in nashville here and then when he heads out to LA next i'll be out there by then and ill finish my parts there, its just a fun kinda side project ive wanted to do for a while- we'll see if anything ever comes out of it- but either way its just fun to say we did it!
oh and that large giraffe statue i got my parents i accidently left at the hotel when i flew out!! but i actually ended going back to canada a few weeks later so i grabbed it-- k giraffe update now its happy in my parents living room
me, liz, and jenny, have matching little star tattoos on our left feet. (we all went to university of minnesota duluth) its just funny cuz when we used to have pancakes at jenny's in duluth we had drawn out our life dream of all living on the same culdasac when we grew up, and be neighbors, with a tunnel from each of our houses going underground and leading in the middle of the culdasac to a secret underground hang-out room that we wouldnt tell anybody about! our culdasac had a lot of stars decorating it, liz had a pool, jenny had horses, and i had four-wheelers, so we could all share each others toys. and a fountain in the middle of the culdasac with a reverse mirror bottom so we could see through it in our secret room below but nobody could see down! it was all drawn on a piece of notebook paper and we made copies for us 3-- jenny really wanted two weeping willows so i drew those in for her too, we called our neighborhood 'suenos' which means dreams in spanish, and we wanted to name our street that and get our own street sign!!
but now we all graduated-- jenny moved to be a math teacher/gymnastics couch to middle of no where minnesota, liz is moving to chicago today to pursue chemical engineering, i am moving somewhere far far away in a few weeks but dont feel like saying right now (still in the u.s.), the other week, liz and i decided to go visit jenny in the middle of nowhere so we drove 3 hours and met her at her house- which is actually someones attempt at building a garage but decided to fix it up into a house instead- cuz its a box haha, jenny lives in a very pretty box, its really nice though, with a kitchen and bathroom, bedrooms and stuff but the shape on the outside is so funny, its right on a lake, and we slept over, made pancakes, watched 3 movies (one being stardust and i swear i saw that falling star girl in the mn airport the other day haha i shoulda kept her and got special powers) then we decided to go frolic on the frozen lake with her little white dog-- it was sooo fun!! we were sliding around this random ice-house and some guys truck out there and me and liz kept jumping on the cracks as hard as we could
