#Randombling: That Nerdy Chick

Randombling: A 5 minute long unedited random stream of consciousness produced by a nerd for nerds.

#nowplaying: Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

Dudes, this Oscar shit is soooooo fucking exhausting. Like crazy exhausting. BUTTTT the best part is, I am learning. For some god awful reason, you just cannot livestream at Hollywood and Highland. It is absolutely not a possibility. I tried it with LiveVideo and we ran off of sprint - got nada. I use Verizon to livestream from my phone - and nada. It comes in super choppy and overall blah. Super stoked though that we got on the main page of Ustream.

 

Ah yes, I am now among the thousands that have been under Paris Hilton. #SCORE!

Today was more of a test, tomorrow will be the super fancy pants stuff. Learning. Learning. Learning. My brain is processing it - livestreaming is my passion FEERRRR SUUURREEEE!!! I love going live in weird and random situations. I would do it more,  but again, it takes a lot out of you. I need to stabilize things with the site more. Need to delegate a lot of shit out and get a full time team going ... but definitely need money. I can't pay anyone as is, and I SUPPERRLLLYYY appreciate all the help, but come on man, its about time we made what we're doing an actual business. This is RUBBISH! RUBBISH I TELL YOU!!!

Dudes, have you guys seen whats going on with Foursquare? They added a friend and follower feature. The default on a checkin is to not tell your followers. Is this an effort to make Foursquare more private to encourage more people to use it? One can only assume. Haven't read anywhere anyone talking about it either - but go to your Foursquare page. Here's mine:

 

WTF? Where did all that shit come from? I'm gonna do some snooping around to find out some more info, but I GUARANTEEEEE you it is being done as an effort to make it more private. I loves me some Foursquare, I'm just curious to know what those boys are up to. HMMMMMMMM!!

OH AND DUDE! We've been getting SOOOOOOOOOO many more robots crawling TNTML since the google algorithm changed. For reals, DOUBLE!!!! I am FUCKING STOKED, MAN! Go google for serving the end user better. Wahooooooo!!

Going to the Playboy Mansion later tonight. Needing to blow off some steam, no better place to do it. Definitely going to be an off grid night. HAHA! Lo siento mucho! It's a masquerade party, and since I didn't have a mask - I am just going to black out my eyes, draw on a face, and go as a panda bear. Hey, the eyes make it a mask! I'm stoked. I've never gone to a party topless before, but thank GOD for one, I won't be alone (not that that usually stops me from doing anything anyway), and two, I HAVE A CAR!! Ford hooked me up with a Fiesta for the Oscars. THANNKKKK YOUUU again Scott Monty!

Totally stoked that I'm not going to get arrested for being topless on a city bus going to the playboy mansion.

OMMMMMGGG I missed driving. OMG OMG OMG!!!

What a fucking weird time it is to be alive, that I have no money to my name, not even a credit card to be able to rent a car ... but you can ask a big wig at Ford directly for wheels, and somehow manage to get 'em. FUCKING BLOWS MY MIND!!!! You don't G-E-T if you don't A-S-K!!! Go, build your personal brand ... ANYONNNNEEEE CAN DO IT!!!!

Oh my lordy mickmordy, not gonna get on a tangent, promise. 

Alrite, off to the gym. 9 lbs down since I started training. It really all came from my ass. I am such a butt girl - baby got some SERIOUS back. But for reals, if anyone knows whats kickin with Foursquare lemme know. SUPPERRR curious.

#Randombling: That Nerdy Chick

Randombling: A 5 minute long unedited random stream of consciousness produced by a nerd for nerds.

#nowplaying: Born This Way- Lady Gaga

Bah. What a week. Lots lots lots going on. Again, making a conscious effort first and foremost to get more out of my own head and be more of service. Very serious about that, since goodness, that is not how I want to come across AT ALL. Appreciate the community calling me out on it. I just see these things so INCREDIBLY black and white ... how to make this work, and that work, and what trend this is going to be. It freaks me out, when I tell these suits what I see and their jaws drop. It's like wait, you can do that?? So much of Hollywood just has NOOOOOOOOO idea what we are capable of in the tech world. It's so rad. BUT, again, out of your own head Jen. It's entertainment, we're not curing cancer.

5 lbs down and 1 gym rat badge earned. I've started jogging in the morning just to be in nature, followed by hitting the gym almost every night. It's a lot, but I love it. I'm DEFINITELY getting more stamina and can feel my body again which just feels AMAAZIINNGGGG after sitting for a year. I've just never felt so physically unhealthy. I was raised a very active kid, and never really stopped moving ... until last year. Great for the site, bad pour moi. Balance. I gotta have some balance. Balance is the hardest thing for me to ever have. I am just such a balls deep person. When I get into something, I am INTO IT, and work my ASSSSSSSSS off for it. I love being so passionate, but I think part of maturity is figuring out how to still find balance with the rest of your life as well. HAHAHAHA maturity ... wtf is that??

Speaking of balance, taking things uber slow with the new boy. He's not on a "break" from that chick in the traditional sense (ala Ross and Rachel). I can't explain it to you all without revealing details of their relationship that is frankly no one's business but theirs ... I respect it, and it makes sense to me - so I'm going with it. I have to let logic dictate this one. Which is so hard for me, since I constantly want to romanticize situations, but those unrealistic expectations are what get me in trouble. Fuck you, Disney. Never liked you anyway. I'm just at the same time a FIERCELY loyal creature. If I like someone, like I like this dude, I very literally cannot even fake something with anyone else. Even a date! Dude, not a SINGLE date this week. I can't message any of these dudes back. It's compounded by the fact that I can't afford shit, so I'm not gonna go out with a guy, have him buy me a drink and be like oh yeah - peace out homeslice. I can't do that. If I let a guy buy me a drink, dinner, whatever, I'm interested in him. My brain doesn't want to be interested in anyone else right now. I also recognize that competition is incredibly healthy ... but then all I have to do is look at my twitter feed, or Facebook wall. That shit must drive a dude nuts! I KNOW through and through though he can handle it, he OWNNNNSSS his shit. It's such a turn on, ugh. I'm just scared ... I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO scared. But I am incredibly confident that mental sanity and logic can still be maintained even while letting your own walls down. I'm trying man, he's definitely chipping stuff away, but there's no friggen guarantee in anything on the other side! That is BAT SHIT! Then again, what are guarantees ... I didn't have it with this site - risks keep you on your toes; I'm just not used to taking a risk with my heart. Calculated risks ... I'm ALLLLLL about the calculated risks!! I'm stoked to have a new friend in my life, and I have to keep reminding myself that both feet stay firmly on the ground. Again, bless this site and stuff we're doing with the pilot, I can at least drown myself in mountains of work ... ugh, he's so hot. Stop thinking about him, Jen.

Got invited to another party at the Playboy Mansion later this month. Thinking about going to livestream now that I know from Halloween where I can and can't get feed; and worst case scenario, I'll take out my Flip and ask a friend to film. Love me some Playboy.

Speaking of parties going to a singles party in downtown for Valentines day, btw!! WAHOO!!! Bringing my friend Leslie too, since I know she just broke up with a boy ... I'm like GIRLLLL this party = bananas. Lots of cute boys, but incredibly chill, not normal LA dudes ... and this loft is just baller.

But yeah, lots of meetings about the pilot next week, we're pretty much in full throttle mode at this point - and I am onnnneeee happy camper. You have no idea how much I am looking forward to getting out of couch surfing. I love it, and am CRAZY grateful that I haven't paid rent anywhere since April of last year, amazing adventure, but really fucks with you psychologically. I need an off switch.

I'm EXCITED NERDSSSSS!! Good shit, man .... good shit. K, off for a jog. Peace love and lollipops to all!

xoxo #nerdsunite

#WTF: Hands down, the weirdest email ever! 

Looky looky the email I just got ...

Alrite, I understand that yes, the Playboy Mansion is definitely something you should see before you die - but really, for a 3 year old?? Does he even know ANYTHING about Playboy? And if so, how did he find out? That just sounds weird. I completely understand that as a family member watching someone pass so early must be heart wrenching, but babe, this is REALLY on HIS bucketlist? Not yours?

I dunno ... what do you guys think? I responded back asking him to elaborate a bit more. I did google the kid, that seemed legit, but I dunno. Smells of fish to moi.

Agree?

#weird

(here's the vid from Halloween, btw. It is fun ... don't get me wrong, I fucking love the mansion - but not for a 3 year old. I just feel so WRONG making that judgement call?!?! Who am I to say?!?! AHHHHH!!! )

Something smells fishy over at #Playboy ... 

Alrite, I might be shooting myself in the foot with this post since technically I am up for a gig with Playboy ... and no, not for posing ... dude, do you think I'd sleep with Hef? PUH-LEASE! His software is not compatible with my hard drive. FOR SURE!

I digress ...

I've been going to Playboy parties for years. I love the mansion, its literally one of my favorite places to visit in all the world. You're just taken care of so well. The shuttle in, to all the security there, all the guys are on their best behavior, and the women are just so unbelievably breathtaking - it is something you have to experience before you die. Just period end of sentence. The grounds alone are reason enough to go and visit ... incredible incredible incredible.

All that being said, I posted the other day about Hef's engagement when I saw it pop up in my twitter feed ... but I gotta say, there's something incredibly sad about the entire situation. I am totally going on a hunch, but this has got to be a complete publicity stunt. I captured his meeting with Crystal, ANNDDD I've seen them at SO many parties since they've met, and something just isn't sitting right. He not only doesn't seem in love with her, he barely seems to like her. Let alone the fact that the girl has had SO much plastic surgery she is almost completely unrecognizable. I speak no ill will for anyone, and am really not trying to rain on anyone's parade, just wanted to merely point out that there is something just so incredibly tragic about this scenario. I am by NO means an expert on love ... haha clearly ... but I am damn good at reading body language, and figuring out how to read between the lines ... and this entire everything just wrecks of a publicity stunt. Changes coming to Playboy? Health scare? I don't know ... something is up.

Dude, strictly from a PR perspective wouldn't it have made more sense for him to marry Holly since she had such an interest in the magazine as a whole, and the public clearly loved her - would have been smart and I feel like a bit of a smoother transition to have her take things over as Hef passes into his twilight years. (Again, strictly from a PR perspective. The parties at the mansion are just as big of a draw as the magazine itself - since it is rented out so much throughout the year.) Of course, he would have had to divorce his last wife, Kimberly Conrad, sooner with whom he had two sons Marston and Cooper. Dude, she lived next door to Hef in one of the bunny houses until earlier this year when they officially filed for divorce and she moved to Reno.

Something. Doesn't. Make. Sense. 1 and 1 is not equalling 2 here. Again, not normally my style to call this type of situation out, considering I do genuinely love Playboy - but it just angers me watching friends of mine who are gay fight so hard for their rights to marry, while others use it for press or financial profit.

#ThatIsAll

PS. Here are some pics I snapped moments after they met. I doubt you could have called it love at first sight, as Crystal is on the left ...

 

Just keeping it real, man ... just keeping it real.

#WhatJustHappened: A nerd's night at the #PlayboyMansion

I don't even know how to describe the awesomeness that transpired last night. It's a total word fail. I would actually have to invent a word to describe the awesomeness. So, let's create one ... how's "specmafuckingtaculation." That has a certain umph to it, no? HA! Anywhooooo ...

So, last night I went to Playboy's Halloween party. Cue 4sq checkin:

 

First off, let me just say I love Playboy. Like love love love love love Playboy. I've been going to various events there for the last 5 years, and it is just the greatest place ever - and actually Playboy served as a big inspiration for this site as well. See, everyone at the mansion is super hot. Like crazy stupid hot. So it creates this weird dynamic of free love and everyone just liking everyone. No catty BS, chicks being all chick like. The men are incredibly respectful, and people just let loose. It is a complete paradigm shift, and the only place like it in LA (if not the world).

Playboy is like family to me. Albeit a naked, mega rich one ... but family none the less. You just feel so safe there, I don't really know how else to describe the feeling. It is like being home, mixed with this unparalleled desire to just be free. Kinda like kicking your shoes off after a killer hike through the mountains. That level of AHHHHHHHH is riighhttt there.

I've seen a lot of things at the mansion, most of which I will take to my grave ... no worries, I'll tweet some of it out right before I take my last breath. There is an element of wanting to post all the people I saw doing all the things they were doing, but that'd be a cheap shot and defeat the purpose of the mansion in general. We all let loose. Kissing and telling afterwards would just be lame.

I will say however, I was pleasantly surprised to see an uber nerd god there, @Sacca. I just saw Chris at the #TahoeTechTalk last month, and the man all BS aside, was incredibly inspiring. I saw him standing by his table, and I kindly waited for a minute to catch his attention. I introduced myself, and 2 minutes later I was drinking Cristal with his entire crew. This dude is the shit. He's incredibly present. Not sure if he drinks the Buddhist kool-aid as well, but wow ... good energy. Yep, I got a chance to geek out over Twitter while half naked. HAHAHAHA!! Loves it. And oh yeah, Chris is a super cutie patootie. Can I just throw that out there? Yeah. His costume was effin hot.

He was laughing asking how I got invited, as it isn't exactly the norm for nerdy chicks to party at the mansion. I explained to him that I knew so and so from so and so and they invited me to this thing back in the day and now we're getting married. In life, its not who you know, its who knows you. I just can't stress that enough. As long as you're not too socially awkward, you genuinely have a good time, and you keep your mouth shut, you will be invited back! This is LA and life is reflective. If you enjoy your company chances are good a few other people will as well. Totally awesome sauce.

I didn't have a drive on, so I peaced in the middle east pretty early to head to some after parties. See, the mansion is totally bitchin but the shuttle getting back can definitely be a pain. It's just not organized, and I'm an efficiency freak. I can't handle clusterfucks. So, I left before it got crazy ... and then oddly enough wound up in Bel Air at @ChelseaHandler's new house. Dude, it was so beautiful! There was a nerdy Stickam party there ... and yeah ... more nakedness and body paint and shuttle free.

Good morning, sunshine! I then ventured onto a speak easy in Culver City ... where the night just got more insane. Like for real, god bless the uber rich. I woke up in a guest house in Malibu that I swear if their wifi wasn't locked I might have just stayed forever and ever and I doubt anyone would even notice.

Yay life, yay being alive during this blessed time where passion can truly take you anywhere you want to go. Just do what you want to do in life man. Start with, what feels good? Use that as a guide, and let the rest just fall into place.

Will edit the vid and post it tomorrow. Definitely NSFW, but definitely not something you'll want to miss. =) RAWRRRR!!!
