I'm not interning right now, and it's driving me crazy. I need it in my life lol. I just feel so useless when I'm at school all the time and that's it-nothing else.
A couple of days ago I found out I'm getting promoted from Entertainment Editor to Managing Editor, which is second in command next to Editor in Chief. Definitely excited about that, but I'm not looking forward to giving up the Entertainment section. I've built it up so much and I don't want to see it suffer when I leave.
Anyway, I have a crush on a boy. I hate crushes-they're never returned. But, its nice looking at him and we have a lot in common, especially with music and music is my life so it's great when I come across someone who has similar taste. It's so ridiculous, I spend extra time in the mornings on the days that I see him.

Summer's here! YAY! 'll be 21 in about 2 months, so that's very excting. Earlier this month, my internship ended. Seriously, the day I left was like one of the greatest days of my life. I didn't like that place much, ya know. I learned tons though, and even though most of the people in the building were real annoying, learning is what matters when you're an intern and that's what counts.
So, now I'm looking for a new job. I'm over Radio Disney, and I've been over Old Navy for about 6 mos. now, but it's SO EASY and I pretty much get away with...yeah, everything there. I think that's the enticing part about it. I requested my hours at Disney, and I got no response. Real professional, guys. SO...yeah. Looking for a new job. I want to do full time because I'm broke, but my schedule can't handle that. No, I can't handle that. I can barely handle going to school, let alone a full time job on top of that.
But you know...some friends, aka acquaintances, think you're a deadbeat if you're not working 40 hrs. a week because your life depends on it and you have parents who support you.
Whatevs.
Oh yeah...20 weeks ago I also declared that I was a bitch. I still accept it, 20 wks. later. :D But supposedly...I don't really want to be this "bitch". I'm just hiding behing something. What? I don't know. That's what associates say.
What else has happened in 20 weeks?
Oh, my debt piled up higher...oh joy.
Oh yeah, Coyote Chronicle--my school's (CSUSB) newspaper. I'll officially be the Arts/Entertainment editor and Online Editor in the fall. I was acting as AE editor already because the other guy kind of sucked because he didn't have the industry contacts that I have. I'm SSUUUPPER excited to have full control of the section though--like you don't even know! Big things planned, I tell yah. BIG THINGS. lol
Think I'm done now.
Be back soon, hopefully before 20 weeks.

My roomates, are definitely the coolest ever. We jumped in the outdoor pool in our outdoor apt. complex, in the pouring rain! It was so fun. Then, we videotaped our version of MTV's 'The Hills', "The Mountains". Instead of Lauren, Heidi, and Audrina, we have Buffy, Piper, and Summer. It should be on Youtube shortly.
My internship at BWR is super slow and boring. I hope it gets better-maybe I can switch departments, because the music department isn't where it's at. Only time will tell though.
I taped my first radio show! Yay! It was kinda bad because I didn't know where the buttons were, and I hadn't prepared for it but next week will be better!

2. Got a random missed call from the XBFF. No message-probably a mistake. Definitely ran into her little sister the other day, and she apparently has no idea what's happened, so that was awkward.
3. Assistant Editing for the paper is okay for now. Definitely got some dumb writers this quarter though. I pretty much had to write this girl's story for her because the one she had was horrible.
4. So, I have this HOT ass manager at work. It's to the point where I try to keep my distance from him because he's newly engaged and I think dirty things about him LMAO. But OMG he definitely gave me a massage today and I definitely almost jumped his bones. He's a firt...definitely. I like that, but then I don't because he now looks a little cocky. Like he knows girls at work think he's cute. Or maybe he's just a nice, sensitive guy....SIKE. I wonder if his finacee knows if his friendly patson the back like to linger, and he gives girls MASSAGES.
5. So there's this girl. She's my roomate's friend. She talks A LOT. Like holy shit it's annoying. She talks through movies like WHOA. I mean she'll start a whole conversation about what was said in the movie. It's like DUDE, WTF? Really? I wonder if it irritates my roomate, but she just doesn't want to be mean, so she doesn't tell her to STFU. I want to though.

I can now be heard on the radio! http://coyoteradio.csusb.edu Mondays from 10AM- 12N.
The wind almost blew the campus away last night. Unfortunately/Fortunately it stopped this morning. It would've been sweet if it would've continued, campus closed, and no class for me!
Saw that movie Juno. Was as dope as I expected.
OH! And I totally found the COOLEST fashion blog. I think it's called fashion toast. This broad is definitely dope and has inspired me to start shopping at thrift stores and Marshall's. I just hate digging.
I downloaded some awesome music last night because I was wide awake until 3 AM, and bored. None of it is brand spanking new, some are throw backs that I haven't heard in forever. I need to update my new iPod so I went on a spree.

Funny thing about Kenna: I first heard about them a while ago back when they opened for Justin Timberlake, and he in turn appeared on one of their songs. I thought hmph...they're really good, BUT they sound way too much like N.E.R.D Last night was when I found out they're signed to Star Trak, which is Pharrell's label. Dude looks like Pharrell from a distance with sunglasses on too. I'm sure is heavily producing for them. Then...they didn't seem as cool anymore. It's not original. Well...kind of, but still.

I know- I just posted, but I have more to say and this is on a different subject.
I went to an awkward birthday dinner, that my ex-best friend went to. I knew she was going to be there, so I prepared myself mentally. At least, I thought.
It was INSANELY awkward. We were in a small group. There were only what...6 of us? So it wasn't like I could really get away from the awkwardness. Everyone knew about the tension, too.
We didn't talk to one another. I mean...we were definitely civil but it was the type of conversations you have with someone you just meet. Quick questions, quick answers, a hi and a bye.
I don't know. It's hard to just cut it off because we both want to go into the same career. So I think about her, when people say certain things, or things happen and I want to call her and be like, "OMG! Guess what?!" But...I can't.
So, it that sense, I feel like I have no one. No one to get career advice from, give advice to, and talk shit about celebrities to. Plus, that one PR firm I had that bomb ass interview with reps Christina Aguilera on and off.
She & Christina Aguilera :: Me & Justin Timberlake
Could I call her and yell in her ear about it like I would love to? No.
Sucks, right?
So I don't know what to do now. Today I got the idea of just calling her, saying what I have to say, and getting it over with. Who knows.
- Location:Leaving PR class!
I'm updating from my Public Relations class. Ideal Student, right? Everyone in here is on the internet and the teacher is blabbering on and on. I don't think having seminar classes in a computer lab is very effective for people like me who are obsessed with the internet.
So I'lll just keep looking up at the power point and pretend I'm taking notes. The guy sitting next to me keeps trying to look at what I'm doing because I guess I type fast, and loud. Oh well, he's probably jealous.
Okay so...obviously I've started school. I'm taking the maximum number of units, which hasn't hit me yet. I go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 A to 10 P with an hour break. Good thing I live on campus right?
The majority of my classes are Public Relations courses (PR is my minor) and they're all starting to sound the same.
I've officially started as the assistant editor for the Arts & Entertainment section of the school's newspaper. The editor just recently told me that he has no idea why he's the A&E editor because he knows nothing about pop culture and he only listens to 70s rock and doesn't watch cable TV.
What. The. Fuck.
So that's why all the past articles are the same shit?
What. The. Fuck.
I've joined the Radio Station at my school. I find out today if I get to be a DJ. I should, I have radio broadcasting experience- I did it for half of the summer before I started at Radio Disney. My journalism professor, who has now taken the role of a mentor figure wasn't to happy that I applied for the DJ position. He said, "I'd hope you'd be doing something that would force you to think, not say the artists and titles of songs."
He's old. He doesn't know. I get a two hour show, and I'll be talking about entertainment "news", taking calls, and reading important press releases on air and shit. He expected me to apply for the news position and be the person who writes what the DJs say.
Now that I think about it (hindsight is 20/20 ya know) I probably should've applied for that. Because my string book is nowhere near being complete. And if I want to do stuff in journalism, supposedly I need 50 published works. Uh...I only have 20.
I went on an interview for an internship at BWR PR yesterday morning. They're one of the biggest, successful PR firms in Los Angeles. Pretty much nailed it. So much to the fact that they were telling me why I should choose them.
What the fuck?
I didn't have to pitch myself-that was great.
Can't officially accept yet. I have an interview with the A&R department at Atlantic Records tomorrow. Not taking that one either. I have to lie and say that I'm getting credit, which I can't because I have too many units. You know how when you tell one lie, you have to keep them going? Yeah...I've already started that downward spiral. So...I'm pulling out.. I can't pretend I'm in a class. I'm still going to interview though.
Then I have an interview for a PAID internship at this boutique type firm. So...that's where the confusion comes. Do I take the internship that's pretty fucking awesome, with no money? Or do I get paid and work for a slow, boring company?

I'm kind of a bitch.
-Too many people get intimidated by me.
- And you know what?! I just had an epiphany!
-I think I can sense when someone can be intimidated. So I then, I do it on purpose.
-HA! I'm so rude.
-Really though, I'm a nice person. I just have a strong personality. I think I get along better with people who don't have strong personalities for some reason. lol.
-I'm sarcastic as shit, too. But, I love it.
-I judge people. Why lie? Everyone does it. It's not a good trait to have. I know. And, it's not like I do it right when I see a person like, "Oh look at her, I bet she acts like this and that." You have to be either acting really stupid or like random for me to be turned off and create my own preconceived notions.
-IE: If you're fucking loud, ghetto, can't speak correct english, and you're in my journalism class, trying to get a spot on the newspaper and telling me how much you want to be a newscaster for ABC news one day....I'll nod my head and go, "Oh really, that's cool." And then turn around and laugh inwardly thinking that you have no chance in HELL.
I'm a dancer.
- I teach Beg-Adv. hip hop at Via Verde Dance Center in San Dimas, CA.
- I'm on my school's dance company at California State University, San Bernardino
- I'm thinking about auditioning for High School Musical 3 (LMAO). Seriously, though.
-Once, I had this big ass dream that after high school I was going to become a professional dancer and work my way to the top and then dance for Justin Timberlake. As you can see, that dream crumbled lol.
-It was then that I realized that I wanted to make real money...consistently. I kind of regret it. :-(
-So...now, I just take class and go to conventions! It's fun!
Justin Timberlake OWNS.
-My infactuation began like 8 or so years ago. Disney Channel concert with his bright baby blue wind breaker pants. LMAO.
-People ask me why I like him so much. I don't fucking know, I just do. I mean I know...it's just a lot. Once you've followed a person's career for 8 years of your existence...you can't just be like, "Oh I like him because...this."
- I'm not crazy though- I've encountered some crazy bitches and I'm glad to see I'm not one of them.
- I'm trying to detach from his nutsack though-gradually.
1. He doesn't pay my bills.
2. Yet, I'm giving him WAY too much of my money.
-I'm not one of those girls who think he's OMFG!!!111 SO hOOoOtTTT! He's not.
-Many will disagree, but I think he's insanely UNDERrated. I know there's more to his musicality and talent that JIVE records let's him do, or the media portrays.
- Oh yeah, and I've met some awesome people because of him!
College. ((California State University, San Bernardino))
- Sucks.
- I'm not doing too well as of now.
- I'm doing great in courses for my major! GE's? Fuck that. I settle for C's. Yeah, not good. I'll fix it.
- Major is Mass Communications.
- I don't really know what I want to do. I mean, I know what I want to do. But, shit...Journalists don't make good money.
- So I've turned to Public Relations and Radio to fall back on. Next quarter: film! Woot. woot.
- I'm a news writer for our paper: The Coyote Chronicle. Sadly, we won't be online until next quarter, which means NONE of my shit will be on the world wide web for the universe to marvel over!
- Why? Because next quarter I won't be a staff writer anymore. I'll be Assistant Editor for the Arts & Entertainment section. Not that excited. I wanted to be editor. I understand the progression and succession shit, but the editor SUCKS and is completely biased. ALLL of the articles are about rock CDs and rock concerts. WTF? Not everyone likes that, bb. That's why I will overthrow him...nicely, of course.
Extracirricular
- I know, I spelled that wrong.
- I've pretty much become obsessed with internships. Which is why I'm struggling trying to balance school and interning.
- I worked, not interned, for American Radio Networks. I got to be an indepedent producer for my own radio show that was broadcasted. That was super super fun, but definitely a SCAM. I wasted so much money to use out-dated stuff. However, I DID learn oodles lol. And how cool is having your own radio show, son? Dope, right?
- I interned at Levine Communications in Los Angeles. Don't recommend that one. It wasn't HORRIBLE now that I look back, but it was really unorganized and Michael Levine is probably the craziest and rudest mother fucker I've ever met. Buutt, I learned how to get thick skin. That's probably the most valuable thing I've learned. :)
- I recently finished an internship at ID Public Relations. DEFINITELY recommended. So much free shit, and endless knowledge. Typical office shit, but it was great. Clients include: Amy Adams, James Marsden, Katie Holmes, Salma Hayek, Dane Cook, America Ferrera, Ellen Degeneres, Jennifer Hudson, Natalie Portman, Lance Armstrong (new), Tobey Macguire, Chris Evans, Kyra Sedgwick, Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, etc, etc, etc.
- This summer I plan to intern at Sony BMG. I was offered the internship for the fall semester, but I couldn't because I'd already accepted an internship at ID. I was PISSED.
-After that, a radio station. My goal would be KIIS FM. But, that ish is hard to come by, yo.
- Then, Extra or Entertainment Tonight.
-Then, a magazine. I'm working on networking with a girl who's family member is the west coast editor for In Style.
- Oh yeah, I got offered a position at Colton City News as a staff writer. I don't know. Too much shit going on already, man.
-I'm joining my school's radio station too. Definitely excited for that one!
- Oh yeah...I'm a talent escort at award shows. I just started, though. I've done the 2007 Grammys, the 2007 MTV Movie Award, and the 2007 BET Awards(joke). I'll be going back for the 50th anniversary Grammys as well. :D Yay.
Radio Disney
- Yay! I work there! I'm a promotions assistant.
- Mickey owns, dude. Haha!
- Basically as a promotions assistant, I get paid to go to all these cool place in So. Cal in the "mickey mobile" and dance around and entertain the little kiddies. It's GREAT!
- Sometimes it does get annoying though. I can't even front lol.
- I had my first taste of being a DJ the other day and kind of running the show. It was definitely the coolest thing ever. Being on the mic, and hosting contests and stuff.
- So, I think I'm going to look into becoming a DJ. :-)
Ryan Seacrest OWNS
- Not as much as Justin Timberlake, trust.
-But, he is my idol, nonetheless. And...*gasp* kind of attractive.
-He's my idol because he's a fucking household name now. Like the Next Dick Clark or something!
- I'm going to be the next Ryan Seacrest!
- And, I was listening to his show, like I always do, and he was talking about how he can't just have one job because then he feels like a loser. That's me!
Okay, I'm done. I said way to much, and formatted this like a jackass.

It was my first time going to Disneyland during Christmas time and it was pretty amazing, no magically amazing. I loved it! Everything was lit up, from the Cinderella castle to mainstreet and the New Orleans square! I think the snow and the fireworks show were highlights for me. I went to go support my dance students- they performed and it was pretty cool!
I'm supposed to go take a family picture tonight. Blah. Not looking forward to that. I don't even like my family 90% of the time. But, I will smile and pretend like tonight is apart of the 10% because the Sears camera man will tell me to.
Tomorrow's Dec. 1st, son! I remember not remembering what happened on January 1st because I was drunk! This year pretty much flew by. But, I'm pretty excited for next year. Cool things are going to happen.

All four years of high school I rode the bus home from school. So, I was on the bus that rides straight up and down the major street that crosses my residential one. This ugly ass dude that smelled like feet, weed and cigarettes came and sat behind me, and then started breathing on my neck. He goes, "Do you have a boyfriend?!" I look back at him like WTF?!?! and then immediately said yes, hoping he'd leave me alone. But, no. He goes, "Well what the fuck does that have to do with me?" I just turned back around, completely stunned. I get off the bus, and this fool is <b>following me</b> down my effing street! After like a block of him following me, I just book it and start running toward my house. Thankfully, he didn't keep following me- he just yelled something out but I don't remember it.

WTF?!?!
I think I really could be a bitch. I'm very rude, but then there are times where I feel as though my rudeness is justified. Of course it's justified from my point of view, because hello, duh...it's me.
Anyway, bill collectors keep calling, and I keep ignoring. I'm ready to put the phone on silent, but what if the man of my dreams calls me to whisk me off into the sunset? [/sarcasm]
I've also recently realized that I don't let people in, and I don't let them know whats wrong with me. I try to act like nothings wrong, but I know it's completely obvious on my face. I don't know why I do that. I can't trust people with details about my life, and it sucks because I want to, but I know it's just going to bite me in the ass later. It's not even huge ass secretive stuff that I don't let people know about either, like a fucking third nipple or something- no, it's sentimental shit and family crap.
The person that would know all this stuff about me would need to be a best friend type. But, I've never sincerely told anyone they're my best friend because they always do something to make me hate them.
So I guess it's my fault that my ex-"best friend" and I haven't talked since August, when we used to talk everyday. I blew up on her over some personal shit because I didn't feel as though she noticed or cared about why I'd gotten distant. But, my blowing up on her was wrong because I never told her all the stuff that makes me upset or goes on in my life. And...I blew up on her on my birthday, made a nasty scene. I regret it. But, I don't think I deserve to get kicked back into middle school and get silent treatment for two months! I tried over and over to squash the drama and act my age, but no response.
But, in the interim I've kept myself very busy, I'd think. Completed some kick ass internships that have definitely opened big doors for me. I'm now in negotiations to begin writing for a real newspaper, and not just my college newspaper. I work at Radio Disney, and I have internships with Sony BMG and NBC to look forward to in the future.
So WTF am I complaining about right?
....Off to ONTD!
