#NowPlaying: The Rescues - Teenage Dream

MOOOVVINNNNGGG DAAYYY ISSSS HEERRREEE!!!

Yep, I'm moving. Like literally ... right now ... been running errands all day ... here's what I have so far ...

 

Still have to build my desk, and bookcase - got my chair up ... but gooooddd lorrddddd there's so much to do.

Anywho, in the meantime - totally heard the lead singer of this band at Hotel Cafe on Friday. Dude, he was so rad - he stopped his show and said, excuse me, did you guys know there is a guy in a bear suit here? HAHA!! Of course it wasn't a bear suit, it was @maniacalmorgan in his wolf spirithood. Was pretty epic. I was wearing my night hawk, and we got pulled up on stage. Kinda made my life, not gonna lie.

These dudes are TOTALLLYYY epic and TOTALLLYYY awesome. Check 'em out doing a cover of Teenage Dream.

#EPIC

Thanks for the intro @catielaffoon

#NowPlaying: Postal Service - Such Great Heights

OMMMMGGGG you guys - I got a place. It's not a sublet, it's an actual like apartment - apartment. The girl is super fucking rad, just got out of a relationship, and I told her what I'd be conducting in my social experiment and she lost it ... TOTALLY LOVES IT!!!! Very very very excited to be alive right now. SSSUUUCCHHHH an unexpectedly awesome day - which trust, coming from all that walking and all those appointments ... that I did not expect to say.

K ... one last thing ... HIT IT BOYS!!!

 

PS. Is it weird that this is one of my all time all time all time fav songs, and I've never actually watched the vid on Youtube? Uber fail ... ::mwahahaha:: one would think!!! However upon further analysis, I did not at all interpret this song visually this way. I'm not really liking the video, but the song however makes my life. And yeah - that is all.

#KTHXBYE

#NowPlaying: The Knack - My Sharona

Currently sitting in Cafe Solar in Hollyhood grooving to this blessed little piece of work by The Knack. Dudes, I totally picked up a web designing gig today so I could buy a wii for my new home. YESSSS!!! Super stoked, and loving it all long time. Seriously though, how amazing is this song??? UGH! Can't stand it.

 

Oh and btw ... I'll be in my own little world today, but if anyone wants to recreate this scene from Reality Bites, I will put everything down to do so, because that is on my bucket list ... and just at some point in time ABSOLUTELY has to happen.

#NowPlaying: Collective Soul - Better Now

Do yourself a favor ... grab a pair of headphones (noise cancelling or noise isolating are the best) ... press play on this video .... and dance like no one is watching. No, like Numa Numa style. 

 

Seriously look ... I'm doing it too!! Here I am at the Viva McDonalds in Vegas ... 

I am now officially, the coolest person in this room. 

Wait, no - there's definitely an Elvis impersonator here too ... and he is pretty fucking cool looking ... 

Bastard. Fine, I will graciously accept being the SECOND coolest person in the room. Ugh. Just enjoy. Cause this is making my life right now and I'm loving it long time. 

No seriously, I loved it a little too long ... now it burns. Damnit, time to get tested. 

Am I still talking? Shut up Jen. HIT IT!!! 


Oh I'm newly calibrated
All shiny and clean
I'm your recent adaptation
Time to redefine me

Let the word out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now
Break the news out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now

Oh I'm happy as Christmas
All wrapped to be seen
I'm your recent acquisition
Time to celebrate me

Let the word out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now
Break the news out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now

The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking me down

The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking me down

#Nowplaying: Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime around midnight

All while this shizzy shiz shiznat was going on with the mentalist, my very first love ever, ever, ever, asked me to move in with him. Yep ... the plot thickens. Kinda, but not really - hahah! The plot actually gets WAAYYYYY better than you would expect. The mentalist is seriously loco in la cabasa. Bless his heart, but that dude is just straight up fucked up.

Either way, all of this talk about the mentalist also reminded me of the duderino, that I very honestly do hold in a special place in my heart regardless. First loves last a lifetime, clearly.

Dude, I totally tried friending him on Facebook like a year ago, and he said - I can't be with the queen of posting what you're doing on Facebook, and what you're thinking on Twitter - I'm over it.

And this is why we aren't dating. What I'm doing is posted on FourSquare you nutty buddy!!!! BAHHHH!!!

Either way, this song just came on Pandora, and it reminded me of him ... so yah! There you go!
