I found the picture of me with the Jonas Brothers at the Veronicas show in Buffalo from Feb. 12, 2006. Look how young they are. Joe was 16, Nick was 13 and Kevin was 18. This 20 year was rocking the cradle at the time.
I bought the new Mandy Moore CD yesterday for $3.99. It was the Deal of the Day on Amazon.com. I have yet to listen to it but I’m hoping there will be a profound influence from her husband Ryan Adams.
Weird fact: The first ring tone that I ever bought was “So Alive” by Ryan Adams. The ring tone I bought after that was “Extraordinary” by Mandy Moore. Now they’re married. I’m probably responsible for the get together ;P.
I just got back from seeing Night at the Museum and it was so funny! I wasn’t expecting as many guys from the Judd Apatow movies as there were. They’re my favorite. This was the first movie I actually liked Amy Adams in. I also loved that the Jonas Brothers were the cupid statues. I thought the statues looked like the boys from Hanson though. Ben Stiller is amazing. Everything he does is genius.
Seeing the movie made me really miss Jen. Every time I see the Jonas Brothers I think of how we went to see The Veronicas in Buffalo in 2005 and the Jonas Brothers opened for them. They even sang their song “Mandy” to me. Who would’ve thought that they would go from performing in front of 15 people (if that) to the millions of screaming girls they perform for now. I miss our Octobers and going to Buffalo all the time. I miss driving to Pittsburgh to see Ryan Cabrera and I miss taking a random trip to Niagara Falls after we drive to Buffalo to see Ashlee Simpson and the show was canceled and how Jen lost her cell phone in the haunted house and had to drive back there the next day. Some of my all time favorite memories are because of her. Maybe I’ll get some money for graduation and can take a trip to see her!
Other places I’d like to go right now:
1. Wilmington, NC (my favorite place)
2. Philadelphia, PA (I had a Mac’s Philly cheesesteak yesterday and I want to try the original. Plus, the Rocky steps and the museums, and Lucas lives there)
3. Charlottesville, VA (From what I hear and read it’s one amazing city)
4. Washington D.C. (I just saw Night at the Museum, duh)
5. California (anywhere in California really, I’ve never really had an urge to go there but lately I’ve been thinking about it)
or
5. Nashville, TN (I want to experience it on my own terms)
Something I’m super excited for this summer is to start kayaking again! I’m hoping to make it a weekly ordeal and maybe take our kayaking excursions to new places!
Kris won American Idol, how cool is that? Adam’s a great performer but I prefer Kris’ voice and the style of music he plays. I would not be able to stand listening to Adam’s metal voice on the radio or a CD. Congrats, Kris!
Okay, so I just put a quote up from Ellen’s commencement speech but you really need to watch the entire speech because it’s not only entertaining, it’s very moving.
“ Life is like one big mardi gras, but instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain and if they like what they see, you’ll have more beads than you’ll know what to do with… and if you don’t remember a thing I said, just remember this, you’re going to be okay… just dance. ”
Ellen DeGeneres commencement speech at Tulane University
"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, 'hey, magenta!' and they're like, 'oh, you mean purple!' and then goes off on their purple thing, and I'm like, 'no - I want magenta!'" - John Mayer
