VVVVVAMMPPPIIREEEE WEEEKEEENNND!

So you should know Vampire Weekend is my FAVORITE band ever. No joke.

But yea, its also kinda only a coincidence that I know of them. One of my good friends at the time had awesome music taste [and still really does] and when she was talking to a friend she said she was going to see Vampire Weekend at some downtown venue and tickets were like $16. Yea i know, nothing right?

Well I was sold. I gave her the money and in return got the ticket and talked about them like no other... forgetting to mention to my mom that I was going to my first concert to a band that she called "Vampire Slayers" and with a group of friends she hadn't met.

[So if you knew my mom you would know that she is the over protective type that likes to be in the know about everything [when will you be home, what exactly are you going to be doing, what route are you taking to downtown, ect] so when I mentioned to her that I was going to this concert she sorta fliped.]

So anyways its about a week before the concert and I am listening to VW on myspace [because youtube wasn't around yet and myspace was still sorta in] and totally digging them. I got my friend to burn me a mix CD with the band on them too so that I would be able to sing along to a few of the songs at the concert.

Anyways to finish up this part of the story I went, I concurred, I had fun.

Fast forward to this last January[2010]. Vampire Weekend had just put out their second [and might I say greatest?] CD.

I was sold in two seconds, I knew that for the upcoming concert I HAD to have tickets. Unfortunately they sold out in like a hour and i couldn't get them, however my friend [at this point I'm living in a different state so this is a different friend too] scored us some tickets at $40 each. I knoooooow. $24 dollar markup. That means they've gotten popular.... Ugh.

We went to the concert and they were AMMMMMAZINNNG. No joke awesome.

It was their first concert in Texas and they said they loved it [although I cant assume that a band would tell their audience that they hated that concert].

So now they release their next tour! 5 months after their last one! You think I'm down? HECK YES.

I've already bought my ticket [Heck yes, only $42 this time! No $24 markup for me.] and I have to say that I am counting down the days to October 6th!

Sorry for the long stoory!

Love& Happiness,

SO THE OTHER DAY...

... I was thinking about the crazy and ever questionable LadyGaga.

If you read any gossip web sites this past week you probably saw a headline referring to LadyG and her falling down in London's Heathrow Airport accompanied with this hilarious picture:

[taken from justjared.com]

and i have to say, as much as i love Miss. Gaga there is nothing like seeing a outrageously crazy looking famous person fall flat on her face.

Buuuuut it also got me thinking, I know that there are tons of celebrities that fly private planes but I know that there are some that do take regular joe airlines [ex: Delta, American Airlines, Airtran, ect.] and have to go through the airport security.

[SEE! The GEORGEOUS Miss.Dita Von Teese flys with American Airlines:

Crazy, right?]

So what I guess I was wondering was how in the world does someone as famous as LadyG take off their 8 inch heels and walk through security without looking like they are taking a piece of their costume off?

Like I know that even when I fly [... unfortunately not often enough] I hate to have to undo my sandals and walk through security, or even just take my flats off my feet and place them on the security belt.

Oh well... I guess my shoe mystery will always be a mystery kept close to the hearts [or should I say feet] of celebrities.

Anyways,

LOVE, D

I HATE IT WHEN....

people underestimate me.

I really think that that would be my biggest pet peeve.

Its not that I don't know that I can be ditzy at times.... but honestly I'm like triangle.

I have one face for the silly ditzy blonde that I can soo be way too easily. I have another face for the smart intellectual that I can be when I'm in the mood to think or whatnot. And then I have the final face of triangle that is somewhat in-between the previous two.

I really think alot of times people misjudge me and assume that I am always the ditzy blonde version of me and basically a idiot.

The worst comment I ever received [regarding my idiocy] was that someone actually being less smart and lost IQ points while listening to me speak.

Then once i looked at those Yes/No quizzes on Facebook and saw that someone said I was "More stupid than Brittany Spears.".... which i guess could not be so bad if she was a secret genius, however I doubt she is.

Plus I mean, like if they thought I was Anna Ferris cute ala The House Bunny then that wouldn't be so bad because people still listen to her, with me people just assume that everything I say can be cast off and set aside as a joke.

Whatever.

I guess I'll just show my smart side 24/7.

LOVE& OTHER CRAP.

EVA- fricking -CHEN.

Does everyone see the above?! [ignore the tweet from morganreid, she's my sister and therefore obligated to harass me.]

BUT AUGH. I cannot believe that EVA CHEN tweeted me back, not once, not twice, but THREE times. Honestly this puts me in the best mood ever, and shows me that anything is possible. When I tweeted her I thought i had a worse chance than a ice cube had in hell and look now!It looks like the cube survived and so did I!

PS- For those of you who do not know who Eva Chen is, she is the head beauty editor at Teen Vogue.

LOVE,

THE HAPPIEST EVER D

VAMPIRE WEEKEND. aka THE BEST BAND EVER.

Doesn't it make you wish you could play tennis.... even if it is only to hug onto Jake Gyllenhaal?

PLEASE DONT GET TENNIS ELBOW,

VALENTINES DAY [the movie this time]

So recently I went with my best guy friend Luan to see this movie the other night, we were supposed to see it on Valentines night [my mom made me do Valentines dinner with the family and have the traditional heart pizzas] and be each others date [unfortunately not really due to the fact that he doesn't swing my way], but we had to see it Tuesday night instead and I honestly have ot say that it was such a good movie... in a totally predictable ending to a movie kind of way.

But yea, I would tell you all about it but I really want you to see it for yourself and realize that as much as you wish Ashton Kutcher [OR Bradley Cooper OR Topher Grace OR Patrick Dempsy] will fall in love with you, they never will.

ON the same note but different area of specility.....

Who else is AMAZINGLY EXCITED for this movie?! Unfortunately my mom wont let me go see it at midnight [UGH. I know that this sounds SUPPPER lame... but I guess its semi-reasonable due to fact that I have classes starting at 8 the next morning.] so I'll be enjoying the movie right after classes that day.

AHhhhh. IM SO CRAZILY EXCITED.

XOXOXOXOXO,

D

SO.....

..... I was going to write something really witty and whatnot but I became lazy after watching 'My Life as Liz' [which i lOVE to hate and hate to say that I am ADDICTED to.] and so now I cant think of how I want to word what I want to say. I may just save the topic I was going to write about for tomorrow due to the fact that it is a very good one and slightly embarrassing.

Until I am more inspired,

LoveD

PS- I bought this new hair defrizzer/smoothener thing from Target today [OFFICIAL NAME: Herbal Essences- Long Term Relationship: Leave in Split End Protector For Long Hair] which I am super excited to try.

Ya see, my hair is long, chestal area, and boring and I [sometimes] brush it once its been washed and then it falls PIN STRAIGHT.... Usually. But now its been becoming bigger and poofier- which I think is a direct correlation from the split ends I have been gaining which in turn creates ugliness.

So anyways, I'm hoping that this will work and my hair will look great and I can put a hair cut off for another month or two.

LOVE and OTHER THINGS,

D

I HATE VALENTINES DAY BUT LOVE THOSE IN MY LIFE.

Today is Valentines Day.

Yes, the day that is hated by all single but loved by the people that are lucky enough to be in a relationship. As you can probably tell I am one of the many that are not in a relationship. And its not like I usually dislike not having a boyfriend. Heck, I would love to have a boyfriend [yes, white-ghetto/Pharell inspired boy in history class I am talking to you] but really until I have one I am USUALLY more than okay with being single. But honestly, if you were working today and received a pity look from a customer for not having a date tonight would you not feel bad too? I am so not going to dive deeper into why i don't have a boy-friend because that would take forever and could be a whole other blog post in itself.

AUGH. My ex-boyfriend [who, not to seem like a ass or anything, I was way better than] even has a new girlfriend! Is it because I am attending the local college in order to get done with my basics?! Because I could have gotten into OU or UNT or Tech too. And I believe I have my looks working for me. I am 5' 11", skinny enough to be a size 6 at AE.com, and blonde [when the sun decides to bleach it enough not to make it dirty blonde]. Maybe its just because I'm shy at first.

BLAH! Curse of the semi-introvert!

Whatever. Im done venting for tonight. My procrastination has already gotten the best of me, Im off to do homework and study for pointless test.

Sweet Dreams& Other Things,
