<editorsnote>Hi, I'm Jen Friel, and we here at TNTML examine the lives of nerds outside of the basements and into the social media, and dating world. We have over 75 peeps that write about their life in real time. (Real nerds, real time, real deal.) Sit back, relax, and enjoy some of the stories!!</editorsnote>
dudes this shit takes me back to 7th grade. 7th grade wasn't fun. Butttttt here's to new memories and new awesomeness. Are you still talking? Shut up Friel.
Very grateful to have met so many of you, and even MORE grateful to keep it up in Austin in a week at SXSW!!! If you're going and want to get together just tweet me @JenFriel, and I'll make sure it happens.
Peace love and lollipops, nerds!! I only have one more thing left to say ... HIT IT EDDIE!!!
My little stud Rocky Balboa died yesterday. I've been trying to write about him all day - how he came into my life, and how COOL of a story it all was ... but I can't. I'm just not ready.
It's funny how one little 6 lb goober could make such an impact on my life. Giving him to my parents so I could launch this brand was the biggest sacrifice I've ever made, and while I don't regret a minute of it - it doesn't make his untimely passing any easier.
I'm grateful I got to see him last month, and I'm SUPER grateful my parents took such great care of him yesterday as he passed in my dad's arms ... but I'm just all shades of a wreck today.
No bueno.
Just being.
It is gnarly though how when you go through "shock" my brain processes everything slower. I am forgetting where I am leaving things in the house, forgot passwords to social accounts - it's all mush right now.
This too shall pass, and I am excited for Vegas - but have to be honest that right now ... I'm running on empty.
This dog had the COOLEST LIFE STORY EVER TOO!!! I rescued him from a Doobie Brother, his first best friend was Phil Jackson's dog Princess Cujo, he survived a crack house, cockroach infestation, all three of my relationships (Romeo, Noah, and the Mentalist), was there for me when I got out of the nuthouse, used to star in all of my shows on LiveVideo and FRIGGEN LOVED being on camera.
I mean this dog was a total riot, and such a little angel.
Really really really cool dog.
He was such a ham!
In the meantime however ... this song is dedicated to Rocky.
Much love from your mama. I'll write your story soon, but first - please stop peeing on heaven's gate. @Jesus_M_Christ doesn't appreciate it.
By the time you loverly people read this, I will be on the city bus omw to a threesome. Well, first, I'm going to a totally unrelated friend's birthday party ... THEENNNNNN I'm going to meet up with Mr. and Mrs. Smith who are going to freak my freak.
I'm a little nervous, but mostly excited. All of the people in this group though are just jaw droppingly gorgeous. And like for real in saying that ... this is LA, and these are not nerdy people - this is a VERY different circle of friends.
::sigh:: 5% nervous ... 95% excited.
Oh and FTR, these Vapur bags are the SHIZNAT when it comes to pregaming. Way more eco friendly than grabbing a solo cup, and for me (who is on the go all the time) totally travel friendly. You can get your drink on while you're on the way to the club, but then it folds perfectly in your bag and is SUPER easy to wash.
Kudos Vapur!!!
Anywho ... this is the theme song for the evening and currently on my spotify playlist. HIT IT BRIT BRIT!!
a hoi hoi nerderinos!! I'm currently giving a series of lectures today at Cal State Fullerton, so I'm not like, here right now - BUUUUTTTT I have been listening to this song all morning ... it's making my life and is TOTALLY the greatest song to pump you up.
