Tuesday, February 25, 2003 ( 11:16 PM ) Brandy It's so good once it hits your lips! Such were the words of Will Ferrell in Old School. The more I think about it, the more ashamed I am for loving this movie. In related news, I made the mistake of announcing to my screenwriting class that Not Another Teen Movie is my favorite movie. I was immediately asked to leave and told that I would receive an automatic F for the course. Well not really, but, my Professor definitely was not pleased. He demanded I explain what about it I liked. I was quite speechless as my reasoning is that "It's just really fuckin' funny, Professor McWilliams." I have to have two monologues written for my protagonist and antagonist by Friday. HELP ME. I NEED A PLOT. Something semi-exciting happened Monday night at work. I saw Adam (hot spinning teacher) and David (hot guy that I like that takes spinning and hiphop) sitting at a table at the juice bar talking. I went over to say hi. David gave me the usual big smile and asked how I was, small talk, blah blah blah. I asked him if he was going to Carnival on Wednesday, he said he was, and asked if I was. I said I didn't know since i'd have to go straight from work, and I wouldn't have anyone to go with. He then said... get this shit... "Well you can go with me, if you want." !!!!! I about tore my arm off just so i'd have something to slap myself with. I said yeah that'd be cool, of course, and then I had to go back to working, but.... Yay. Only downside? He's like 27 (Actually it's either 26 or 28, I'm not sure...so I'll just say 27)... Actually I dont really see that as a downside, he's a really nice guy and so what if he's a bit older? So Monday night after work I drove home to Redlands. I met Aaron and Billy at Denny's and had the best sandwich EVER. The Chicken Melt just made my damn day. (And my calorie count exceed its limit...) Today I dropped off my car for an oil change and things of the like and my dad took me to lunch at some sandwich place. It was pretty good. He also bought me the 50 Cent CD. Yay. I picked up Ruben from school and went to hang out at Billy's house. I made the mistake of having some yogurt, and mini oreos as it was already 4pm. I vowed to never eat after 2pm again when I know I'm going to be spinning as that's what makes me get stomach aches. Whatever. I walked into Gold's Gym to see Tony, the 33 year old gay love of my life. He's so sweet... He asked me to find him a man. Tearfully I said I would try. I hate my life. So anyway I took the usual Abs and Spinning classes. Both good. This abs class I take is actually getting way too easy. Spinning still kicks my ass but I'm getting really good at the "jogging" and "running." So after class, I asked Adam where David was, as he usually takes Adam's class. Adam said "Oooh David your lover?" and to that remark Rebecca (his girlfriend) says "you like David?!" and I was like "Well... Yeah but I didn't tell Adam!" and he was like "Oh please it's so obvious." I told him not to tell him just yet but he was like "Well he'll know in about 10 minutes when I go call him!" I'm not sure if he was joking or not, but either way I don't really care. Oh, and I finally saw Adam and Rebecca kiss. Maybe he isn't just a gay boy trying to cover up his sexuality by having a girlfriend. Weird. So tomorrow is Carnival.. Hopefully David will be at hiphop (he always is) so I can ask him if he still wants to go together... ::: :crosses fingers:: : That, my friends, shall be a whole seperate post.... 0 comments Sunday, February 23, 2003 ( 1:38 PM ) Brandy Happy Anniblogiversary to me! I can't believe I've been writing in this damn thing for an entire year... I'd like to thank Cory for introducing me to blogger before it became so trendy ;-) And I'd like to thank the people I have in my life who inspire me to blog. Woo-ha. 0 comments Saturday, February 22, 2003 ( 11:50 PM ) Brandy Welcome to... How do you say? Ah yes. Show. I am pathetic. I just went to see a movie by myself, then I went grocery shopping, now I'm back at home trying to get tired so I can go to sleep. It is Saturday night. I saw Old School. Luke Wilson is hot, Will Ferrell is hilarious, and the movie made me chuckle a few times... But not enough times to make me ignore the fact that the screenplay was less than spectacular. Ah well, what was I really expecting? Earlier in the week I went to see my friend Kimberly in a play. She's a trainer at the gym, but that's just her side job. She was amazing in this play. Completely over the top hilarious. I had a headache from laughing so hard when I left the theatre. It was at a little place in Hollywood and the show was called Camel Lot (not to be confused with the commercial Camelot). It was set in 1989 at a highschool in Massachusetts... And I can't even tell you how funny she was. I know at one point she was offered a place on Saturday Night Live (which she turned down for some reason - I'm not sure on that whole story...) and that's exactly what her acting style reminds me of. A lot of her physical movements reminded me of Molly Shannon, she is very physically funny. But then she's BEAUTIFUL as well, so she just has it all. The show got picked up for an off-Broadway theatre (I guess still in LA though? Not sure) So I'm looking forward to see her perform again!!! Today I got up and went to take ABS-essions at Gold's from this guy named Eddie, i'd never taken from him before. I swear when I came out of that class I needed a stretcher. Every single type of sit-up he did involved your legs being out in front of you about 6 inches from the floor. Now I have a sway back, VERY swayed, so after that class ended I thought I was going to die. And the sad thing is, my abs didn't even hurt compared to the pain I felt in my back. Sorry Eddie, I won't be coming back for a replay of that. After abs I booked it over to the sports club for culture shock rehearsal. Today we had an all boys audition. Unfortunately we didn't exactly recruit the cream of the crop... I won't say more since last time I said something about a culture shock member another guy in the troupe randomly found my blog and read it, yipes. Tomorrow I have to work. I hate Sundays. I hate school. I hate my classes. I hate that I hate so many things. I'm going to bed dammit. 0 comments Thursday, February 20, 2003 ( 10:10 PM ) Brandy WHAT-EV-AH IT'S MY BODY, I DO WHAT I WANT! I am slightly frustrated right now. How is it possible that I am not losing any more weight?! All I fucking do is work out, dance, take diet pills, eat lots of protein, take vitamins, etc... How does my body repay me? By GAINING .2 pounds in the past week. (yes I said 0.2... shutup... a gain is a gain!) I'm never eating carbs again. And I'm going to start spinning four times a week instead of three. And power abs on saturdays as well as tue/thu. TAKE THAT YOU FUCKING BODY FAT!!!!!!!!!!!! I never thought I'd get to the point of wanting to go on the low-carb bullshit, because I know that's not exactly great for you, but I don't give a SHIT. I'm sick of this overweight bullshit and I want to take care of it NOW!!!! IT'S MY BODY, I DO WHAT I WANT! I RAN FOR CONGRESS, AND WON! I DO WHAT I WANT! I RUN WITH 12 GANGS, I DO WHAT I WANT! I DITCHED CLASS AND SHOT HEROIN IN THE BATHROOM! I DO WHAT I WANT! Fuck my body. FUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All right I better calm the fuck down before this turns into an Emily-style blog. Same old shit has been going on... School, work, dance, spin, abs, rehearse. Just remembered I have a scene due tomorrow for screenwriting... Better get a move on that shyte. 0 comments Monday, February 17, 2003 ( 11:28 PM ) Brandy Amethyst's boyfriend's brother killed himself last Tuesday. Chris was the one to find him two days later. Amy was so happy when I dropped her off at the airport last Thursday... Thinking she'd get to spend five entire days with her boyfriend whom she hadn't seen since she moved to LA. She talked for days prior to her flight about what she had planned for Valentine's Day, down to what she was going to wear. Little did she know she would not see her boyfriend but until the last day of her trip, and only to find him cold and emotionless towards her due to the sudden turn of events in his family's life. She now sits on her bed across the room from me, crying softly. I'm not sure what to say. Everything that comes to mind seems trivial. "How was the flight?" "Are you going to your classes tomorrow?" I think I'll say a silent prayer and leave it at that. 0 comments Sunday, February 16, 2003 ( 3:50 PM ) Brandy Prima Donna-- you rule the show! In short you're the head whore! What's your stripper name? (female) brought to you by Quizilla 0 comments Friday, February 14, 2003 ( 1:00 AM ) Brandy HAPPY FUCKING VALENTINE'S DAY This week has been the same old shit. My life is such a monotonous pile of garbage. School and the gym. My roomate hurt her neck and back so she didn't teach on Tuesday, so I slept in and just layed around for much of the day. Something I hadn't done for a very long time. I watched Adaptation and really, really, liked it. The last bit kind of threw me off - but I know it was like that for ironic purposes. My friend Bill thought it was lame that they chose to be ironic just for the sake of being ironic... But I thought it was rather clever. So after I layed around for half the day I went to the gym and went on the treadmill for 20 minutes... then took power abs... then took spinning... Then I went home and died of a HORRIBLE stomach ache... I thought my stomach aches were from Xenadrine, but I didn't take it that night so now I'm really at a loss for what is causing my nightly chronic stomach pains. I was just reminded of something I wanted to blog about. Morons. These blithering idiots and squeeze their way into a twenty person screenwriting class and annoy the hell out of everyone who is intelligent enough to actually be in the class. And when I say "these blithering idiots" I actually just have one person in mind in my class. Every damn day when discussing a film he feels the need to point out the most obvious symbolism or "what the film was really trying to say." All I have to say about this is... Yes, you guessed it: SHUT YOUR HOLE, WANG CHUNG! So anyway after school on Friday I came home, slept, went to work, then went to Jesse's hiphop class. What else is fuckin new. Today I went to see How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Typical movie. Nothing much to say about it. All I had had to eat today up until then was some tuna, which has no carbs in it. I knew I was going to die at the gym so I went and got my daily jamba juice... But that only has 14 carbs in it. the peanut butter one has a lot more protein in it. BIG MISTAKE. First of all, I had it waaaay too close to my working out. Second of all, it didn't give me any energy. In power abs I felt like I was going to throw up... In spinning that unfortunately became a reality. I won't go into detail, but... Let's just say thank god I had a towel draped across my handlebars. Tomorrow is my day from hell. School, then rushing straight to work. Then rushing straight home to get ready for - oh that's right - NOTHING. Valentine's Day is just another reminder that I have no one in my life that cares about me in "that way." LET'S THROW A FUCKIN PARTY AND CELEBRATE. HOO-FUCKING-RAH. And with that bitter note - I shall end this post. New picture is up... Think I'm gonna use it for my new headshot. Huzzah. 0 comments Monday, February 10, 2003 ( 10:14 PM ) Brandy Strange things are afoot at the Circle K So I expect all of you with fast connections to have downloaded my music suggestions. I have one more as well. "Picture" by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow. I'm not really a fan of either artist, but this song is really good. All I have to say right now, is that the Peanut Butter Moo'd smoothies at Jamba Juice have become my main staple of "eating," as of late. They have about 860 calories in the so it really is like a meal replacement. They fill you up for hours, and I am pretty much obsessed with them. That and tuna. Tuna is my friend. Tuna with a dill pickle and a piece of bread. And cheetohs. Lots of Cheetohs. No, I'm not pregnant. Sunday after work I went home to Redlands. Being so tired I felt as if death was upon me, I took a nap for a couple hours. I then went to my mom's spinning class at the YMCA, then did some abs and whatnot. I felt like my abs were going to fall out of my stomach as they were already EXTREMELY sore from taking Adam's abs class the day before. *Side Story - David - hot guy that takes spin and hiphop @ Gold's was in the Abs class and we talked and he's SO nice.. and SO 28, bah. But straight - yeeha! And Adam is hot and I want him .... How to get his girlfriend out of the picture, Hmmmm....* ANYWAY. I was supposed to have watched On The Waterfront for my screenwriting class and have written a short paper on the film by today at 11am. I don't have a blockbuster card because I dont have a driver's lisence to get one because I lost it 3 months ago and I can't get another one because I still have 5 parking tickets to pay off. I hate my life. I figured i'd just wait until I got home on Sunday and watch it there. Blockbuster didn't have it... Hollywood Video didn't have it... Finally I found the vhs at Wherehouse, where of course no one in my family had a card. So I had to call up Aaron and get his ass to open an account there for me so I could rent the damn movie. After all that crap we went to Jazz and Java and had some hearty conversation. I love Aaron. I hadn't seen him in a while so that was good. I LOVE YOU TROUSERS. (Don't ask.) Aaron came back to hang at my house and Aaron S. came over too. I always forget how tall he is and then I see him again and think "damn, he's tall." Aaron G left, and I put in On The Waterfront so me and Aaron S could watch it. : ::BUZZER SOUND:: : WRONG. Of course it gets stuck in the VCR... It's still a mystery to me wheather it was the VCR, which we don't use anymore thanks to DVD's, or wheather it was the tape, which I'm sure hadn't been rented since the movie came out in 1954. At any extent, I was forced to go online and read a VERY VERY long and detailed plot analysis as to get all of the info for my paper from it. By that time it was 3am. I was supposed to wake up at 7:30 to drive back to Northridge for my 10am Geology class. As you might of guessed, that didn't happen. My mom woke me up at 7:30 and I laughed in her face and told her to get the hell out of my room. Ok actually I didn't do any of those things, but I did go back to sleep. I woke up at 9:15 and left my house at 9:21, making it to my screenwritng class at 11:04. I didn't go to history. Just came back to my apartment and slept until I had to go to work. I am a horrible student. It's the fucking third week of school and I've already had 2 absences from geology and 1 from history. I hate school. I hate my bad school habits. But most of all, I really hate this fucking movie that's on TV right now. : ::changes channel:: : Work was very busy, as Mondays always are for some reason. This guy Louie let me borrow his DVD of Adaptation, though! He is in SAG and gets the movies so he can watch and vote on them for the SAG awards. Pretty sweet. I'm gonna watch it tonight. Now I'm starving and I feel like eating a little bit of pasta with a ton of brocolli in it. And then I'll probably have some froot loops. Dammit, I swear I'm not pregnant. 0 comments Wednesday, February 05, 2003 ( 12:06 AM ) Brandy Go Shorty, it's ya birthday we gonna party like it's ya birthday we gonna sip bacardi like it's ya birthday, and you know we don't give a fuck 'cause it's yo birthday! Guess what my favorite song on the radio is right now? That's right kids. Fifty Cent - At The Club. THAT'S MY JAM, DAWG. This week was pretty uneventful. Saturday was hanging out with Billy, always fun. Sunday was work and Disneyland, yay! Monday was school and work and then rehearsal. Tuesday was Trish's hiphop class, and then spinning at night. There was so much traffic I didn't make it to the abs class, grrr. Wednesday was school and work and then Jesse's hiphop class. After Jesse's class a bunch of us went to Westwood village for a little bit, it was fun hanging out with everyone.. dancers are pretty crazy. Thursday was Trish's hiphop class again, then hiphop from Tabitha and Napoleon, and then spinning. Tabitha and Napoleon's class was AWESOME. They make up reeeeeeally great routines and they are very nice too - an oddity in LA these days. We did the dance to Gossip Folks by Missy Elliot - that is such a good song. Spinning was good, I am FINALLY getting the hang of "sprinting," which is going as fast as you can while being off the saddle. Adam goes so fast you can't even see his legs, I'm not sure what that's about... But I'm getting pretty good at it now. Yay. Then today I went to school.. sort of... I skipped my first class, went to screenwriting, slept STRAIGHT through history... I honestly don't remember a damn word he said. Then in Art History I was completely zoned out so I left an hour early (It's a 3 hour once a week class) and came home to only to have to get ready and go straight to work. I worked my big 2 hours and zoomed next door to EDGE for Leslie's master class. I was tired as hellllll but she called me and asked me to come and I didn't get to go to her last one so I felt like I had to go.... And I"m soooo glad I did. She did a dance to that 50 Cent song. She put some sound effects in it, and then it went into the breakdown part of JC's "Blowin up' or whatever that song is called... It was a really cool dance... Leslie is so talented... And I'm so glad I know her and she thinks I'm "bomb" as she says... Because she's gonna be big. And she's gonna need dancers when she starts getting MtV gigs, dammit! Tomorrow I'm getting up for spinning at 9am I think... I dunno... i'm fucking tired, I might not. I already spun 3 times this week, my ass is sore. Then I have power abs at 11:30, adam is subbing so this should be interesting... And then I have rehearsal from 1 to 3.... I'm so sick of Culture Shock... The routines we have been learning are booty... We're going to look ridiculous at Carnival. Ah well. At least I'm performing, I suppose. Brandy's suggested song downloads: 50 Cent - At The Club Missy Elliot - Gossip Folks Shaggy - Sexy Ladies Timbaland and Magoo - Drop (I think that's what this song is called) Craig David - What's Your Flavor DMX - I have no idea but they play it on the radio and it goes "X gonna give it to ya, he gonna give it to ya X gonna give it to ya, he gonna give it to ya" - yah lotta fuckin' help that is. Peace out G's. 0 comments Saturday, February 01, 2003 ( 12:38 AM ) Brandy Don't look at me like i'm frickin' Frankenstein come and give your father a hug I started school this week. CSUN's winter break is too long.... Yet some how not long enough. This semester I have Geology 101, CTVA 320 (Advanced Screenwriting), History 271 (History of US since 1865), and Art 315 (Perspectives in Art History.) The latter can throw itself in a burning building. Geology is going to be VERY easy. The reader is put in a 3rd graders terms, and there are chances for extra credit and what not. Screenwriting is awesome. I love this class, and I love being in a class that I love to be in. Could that sentence BE any more redundant? First we're writing a 45 page movie individually. This I cannot wait for. The second part of a semester we will be writing sitcoms in groups. I'm not too crazy about the whole group thing, because I'm extremely picky about my writing and I don't know that I'll be very accepting of other's ideas... Especially if it's for a sitcom. For a movie, maybe... But for a sitcom you have to stay VERY true to the characters (not that you don't have to for a movie) but since the characters have already been created for you I think it's a little more crucial. I am a stickler for characterization, and I can't stand when people have pieces of dialogue that those particular characters would never say. What the hell episodes have they been watching? Okay so enough of that - History 271. Let's not talk about that class - another G.E. - sick of them, still have more, I hate CSUN. The 4th class I have it that Art 315 bullshit. It's a once a week class and a pain in my ass. The professor talks at the volume of a mouse, despite her six foot tall stature - and the hum of the slide projector drowns her out even more. I...hate....G...E....classes. This week I didn't do anything exciting. Monday was just school and work. Tuesday was semi-interesting. I got up to go to Trisha's class, and realized I couldn't find my (and by my I mean my mom's) car key to her benz... To make a long story short it fell off the face of the Earth. It is now Saturday and I never did find it. My sister had to come down Tuesday night to give me the spare key. So a whole day of potential dancing down the drain. That was the first day in a VERY VERY long time I did nothing all day. Wednesday was school and work and then rushing to Zeal for Jesse's hiphop class... Thursday was Trisha's hiphop class, then power abs and then spinning. Adam says I'm getting a lot better quickly at spinning, and he says I'm going to be a good spinner. Yay. Oh yeah - I realized I'm in love with him. I hate my life. Adam actually is straight, and 26, not too bad, but he has a girlfriend. Now you're probably going "WOW! Brandy likes a straight guy!" Oh Contraire. Adam acts gay as the world is round. NO ONE can believe he has a girlfriend. Including me... The other day I was walking upstairs to count a class and I see him spotting another guy on one of the weight machines. I couldn't hold in my laughter - it was too much. But I know his girlfriend, and she's VERY nice and seems very happy with him so... Maybe he's just one of those straight guys that talk gay as hell and work out and work at a gay gym. Oh wait. Those guys don't exist. Friday is my day from the depths of Hell. I got up at 8, went to school from 10 to 3:50 straight.. then busted my ass back to my apartment to get ready for work in literally 5 minutes, and rushed out the door to work making it there at 5:02. (side note - it was 89 degrees today - WHAT THE FUCK) Work was fun today. Everyone was working tonight for some reason and everyone was being so funny. After work I rushed over to Millennium for Wade's class. It was an AWESOME class. He did a medley for the combination of three songs. The first was a linkin park song, I can't remember what it's called but in the beginning it's all "Fuckin posers" or something like that... The 2nd song was just some random song, I dont know what it was.. then the third was none other than J. Timberlake's "Like I love you" - slightly played out but Wade's choreography to it was HOT. And I loved it. Yay. I am forcing myself to get up at 8am to go to spinning at 9am. I read the other day that spinning burns an average of 500 calories in a 45 minute session. Okay well A) Adam's class is an hour and 15 minutes.... and B) His class is harder than anyone else's I've ever taken so I'm thinkin I'm burnin around 700 calories in his class. If I do that shit 3 times a week, and keep eating good, on top of dancing all the time and doing my power abs classes too..... I'll be to my goal weight in no time. YEE THE FUCK HAW. I was thinking about all the guys I am attracted to. I am fucked up. This thought came into my mind as a commercial for Conan O'Brien just came on and I thought "I want to sleep with him soooo bad." There MUST be a name for this condition I have. But seriously. Conan O'Brien is quite possibly the funniest man alive. I laugh until tears every night when I watch his show. I quote my roomate Amethyst when I say "Conan is such a tool." I'm not quite sure what that means but I thought it was quite funny when she said it. If I ever met Conan.... It would be the best day of my life... Speaking of which - HE'S ON!!! I'm gonna make like a tree and get outta here! (as once said by Angelica Pickles on Rugrats) 0 comments |
