Jul. 2nd, 2005 @ 01:14 am tonight on the nightly news....
Current Mood: exhausted
This just in: Jen has had two interviews for jobs back in Spokane and is scared to death to take either one!

Ahhh! Tis true. A part of me really wants to jump into such a challenging position as a producer but another part just wants to take the easy route...start smaller and become a field producer later. BUT! If I stay here and work on shows for the Food Network, who KNOWS how long it will be until they ask me to be a researcher...following a producer. I mean, you should see how many people work in this depressingly fluorescent lit office! I don't think I could stand it very long. I get sleepy just thinking about working there for many years! AHHH!!

New York was the best experience, most likely, in my life! I schmoozed with people from all over and it was just such a thrill to be there. They put me up in a wonderful hotel overlooking Time Square. I got to go see RENT, travel around the city, sit in Central Park while eating a pretzel, and party it up New York style at night. Pretty wonderful. In the daytime, I had to do a little bit of work but nothing overbearing because I got to learn lots in the industry, so that was very exciting! I met, possibly my ideal man while I was there. There is quite a problem with this fascination however, he's about twice my age. As depressing as this is, it actually reinforced the reason I'm so picky and wait for good ones to come my way. I believe it to this very day, I will most likely marry a man older than me. Maybe not twice my age, but definetly 10 years or so older. I've always been more attracted to them, mostly because they're mature, settled down, hormones (although raging) are not displayed in sleezy bars and clubs, because a good older man would never go to such a place. So, with that said, I'm still waiting and I"m totally satisfied with that.

So anyways, I hope to hear from one of the stations real soon, hopefully I got the job! Although Spokane isn't my ideal location, it's a start and I won't be there forever! I'm always going to be on the look out!

Random thoughts be Jen:
1) Kinsey, is an interesting movie....but a little fucked up, definetly not the kind of movie you want to watch as your parents come in at an inopportune time...thinking their daughter must not be a virgin anymore for renting such "filth"....yea...
2) Are there any virgins out there anymore? Doesn't seem like it which is totally fine I think because sex is good. I was watching this show though, where a couple was virgins about to get married. He was this super baseball jock (27) and she was like 24 former beauty queen. I don't know...does anyone else think that that would suck on the night of the wedding? I mean, it isn't going to be that great the first time...I mean this dude has never even seen her in a swimsuit. Shit man!
3) I'm not PMSing but man have I been sappy lately! Everything from wedding shows to stupid movies have made me ball! Meanwhile, I learned I CAN cry on que...maybe I should act!
4) I miss some good friends. I really miss friends that I haven't seen in a while such as Lucy. I think a trip to chicago is in order
5) Batman Begins...kickin good ass movie!
6) War of the Worlds...tomorrow I will see!
7) Mr. & Mrs. Smith....good entertainer. Hot hot brady boy, makes me want to ravish him...if i had the chance....*sigh*
8) I'm tired and my stream of conscience is abnormal, yes?


That's all for now...i'm out!

Well, I look back at my super old entries and kind of laugh. It's funny how every moment we change, we realize that that one thing that really pissed us off last christmas or summer really was not a big deal. Hopefully I'm a bit more grown up than ever before....haha, fat chance.

Well I ended my semester, and I am officially a college graduate. Wooppeeee, now I can go make millions of dollars and be happy! HA! Yeah, or stay at home with the "rents" and build a savings account back up, pay off some bills, find a job.

I am off to New York for a week as a sesssion trainer for a television conference. I'm hoping this conference will put me in the right spot for a potential job however. I'm willing to move on to a completely different state, I'm bored as all hell here in CO. *le sigh* Thank god to my parents who are helping and supporting me with this trip, it means the world to me that they have so much trust that it is worthwhile and important to me. I truly am grateful for this.

I have a new resolution. Well, firstly, i feel super fat and ugly so I'm working out and sunbathing, in hopes of a hot bod. Maybe then, I'll run around Lake Arthur with a bit more NAKED pride.

Happy New Year everybody!
You know those days when you realize this is who I am, and well it's not gonna change a whole lot whether I like it or not...(?) Yeah, well I had one of those weekends. It was a good thing though, I surrounded myself with people I love wholeheartedly. WE shared good times, bad times, balled our eyes out, laughed our guts out, and made my new year the best eve ever! It's amazing when I talk to many people who are no longer friends with their high school buddies. My friend here at home have seen me through a lot of shit, they've seen me change since high school and still love me. The one thing I've learned thus far in my life...surround yourself with love, loyalty and generousity, you learn from it and when it is absent you appreciate it all the more! I fucking love these people and nobody would understand that. New Years Eve, I think we all had some shit in our head that we had to get out...we made eachother cry, but we bonded more than before. I'll never forget it!

The booze were talkin to me on new years eve. Things to make you laugh:

My fat ass (drunk ass) broke a sink that I THOUGHT could hold my ass. NOPE! I certainly made the entire sink collapse to the ground.

In a drunk manner, I tried everything I could to screw it back into the wall but it was nearly impossible.

I'm about to embarass myself but what else is new?! I peed my pants (drunkenly) when Pam and Carina decided to jump on my back me whlie I laughed my ass off so hard I could barely control any part of my body. I SWEAR that that has never happened.

I was also charged 2 bucks extra in bowling becuase in the tenth frame I got a strike, and I bowled again (because you are suppose to). The idiot charged me for bowling that extra frame....jack-ass!

There you have it... my new years weekend in a few words.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA, I"M AN BIG WONDERFUL DORK!

After all, if you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like.

Went bowlin today, which I LOVE. I sucked it up though: 130, 108, and 112 (pretty bad compared to my competitiors). I blame it on the fact that I was starving. We then went to Wendy's where I pigged out. Great memories were brought up at lunch, *SIGH*

Okay, now lets talk about awkward. I thought it would be okay to go listen to my cousin play in his band. Trouble is my parents went to support their nephew. AWKWARD! Going to a bar with my parents....is NOT COOL. Initially I thought all my cousins and my aunt were coming..but no, it was just my cousins. SO there I am with MY PARENTS. Score -2 cool points for me. I will never ever go to another bar with my parents. SCARY. It got me thinking how lame my life is in Colorado. I would really like to live somewhere else for a while (Portland, Seattle). SOMEWHERE ELSE! AHHHH! I'm sooooo frustrated.

Christmas rocked the frickin house this year, all right. I got lots of great clothes, and many other frivolous things to bring back to Spokie. Christmas started late, and then I had to go feed the cats (BOOOOOORRRRRRINNNNNGG). My bros and their significant others came over about 2pm and I was DYING to open PRESENTS!!! Lisa's parents came into town which was neat, her mom is from Britain. I think my mom suddenly took on a British accent because ever time she talked, she suddenly had a different tone in her voice...very funny. I started drinking very early, and my buzz ended very early...which is probably good seeing how two of the guests were recovering alcoholics. Both my bros got a toy airplane and racing cars so like two year olds, we went and raced them down the street...very memorable.

Today I saw Spanglish, and laughed and cried, it was a great movie. I want to marry Adam Sandler, just for his humor and heart. Then I went to Streets of London with Pam and Carina for Punk Night. It's this bar, where monday night is punk night and pabst is only a dollar. hooty hooo!!! very memorable there, because we played scrabble....yep, in a bar. I was forunate to spell 'zygote' which scored me like 40 points! Keep that in mind yall. The night ended nicely...we walked Colfax (and SURVIVED) and went to Pete's Kitchen for some good grubbin! Hate to say it my Spokane friends, it definetly beats the Satelite and Top Notch, hands down. Maybe not Frank's though.... That's about all that happened, really not that exciting. I noticed how many hot men are in Streets though, hot damn. OH! And Sam if you happen to read this I had two FREE FREE FREE, packs of ciggies for you coming your way. I had to fill out all this shit to get free cigarettes, with you in mind...lord knwos I won't go out of my way to get cigarettes. So, happy hanukah!

Ciao belli!


Oh! and i have a new favorite musical!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's called "WICKED" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I must be getting old because this Christmas thing isn't nearly exciting as it used to be. I feel like it becomes am OBLIGATION to buy people presents and don't you hate when you don't get something for someone and then you walk into a house with someone that has loads of presents under their arms! SUCK! Oh well, my credit card can only tolerate so much.

Home can be boring. My tire was slashed so I can't go anywhere unless a friend is willing to pick my ass up. I sleep in, watch cheesy ass movies like "Home Alone" and I am fully entertained which is even scarier. I have been doing tae-bo with billy banks, something I would never do around anyone else, because it's pretty pathetic. I put on pore cleansing masks (like now, and i can barely move my skin because the mask is sucking in my face) and I entertain myself with the piano and christmas songs.....I am capital PATHETIC, pathetic.

Goin bowling tomorrow though and hopefully a night of martinis. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I miss lots of people from my past and present, whom I haven't seen in a while hopefully I will hear from them soon.

Okay, gonna go catch the rest of Home ALone because I am that lamey lamerson!

I'll shower before the party, then all might go well!

RANDO THOUGHTS FOR THE NIGHT!


Argh to being sick! I'm always sick during Thanksgiving. ARGH!!!

So here I am, wasting precious time away...avoiding writing on the philosophy of art..don't get me wrong it is super exciting but I'm super unmotivated!

So I don't know if I'm big enough of a bitch to be a PR major and big enough of an asshole to be in television...barf in my mouth, swallow it and barf it back up...I hate school.

On the flipside, I'm very excited to go home for Christmas, mostly because it means free food and MOSTLY good times with the fam.

I want to quit my job but I need the money and I certainly can't just be a bumb.

I'm a whore, what was I thinking?

Can I be a whore again, it was kinda fun...

Who is this person talking, seriously?

Ahh, get back to that paper.....!

I love my new friends, I want to put them in my pocket. I honestly think they will be friends for life, at least I really hope so...you know who you are...oops, accident. ;)

Love my old friends, I want to keep them in my pocket forever. Sometimes I get pissed off but really in the end, who cares?!

Okay, back to my papel.

Wow, what a night. I actually think emotions flew across the entire board. Take A Stand nearly made me weak at the knees. Aaron's monologue really got me thinking about this college life we all live. It's quite scary the shit that men (not all men and only men,but in general) get away with walking around talking about women like commodities, I hear it in casual conversations and it makes me quezy. Makes me wonder what has been said about me and the things i've done, what has been said about me? When will I have the guts to tell these assholes in class to shut the fuck up, show them that I'm offended as a rational, strong woman.

We all went to Dempseys tonight and it was BY FAR, the strangest night ever. I just felt totally out of place as a straight woman in a gay bar. It doesn't really bother me, but at times I feel so unwelcomed, like a "fruit fly" as the term has been used. I'm nothing of the sort. Where do I fit in, I'm so confused!

I worry about friends, some seem to be fading in front of my own eyes. I'm so wrapped up in my own life that I sometimes fail to acknowledge this drifting away. I've come to the point where I don't know what to say to the people I love. I feel so apathetic and stoic, like nothing in this world matters. Where do I find that motivation that once was my fuel?


Not sure...right now at least.

WELL shit, what a weekend. It's been pretty swell, for the most part. I quite disgusted that there was sex on my couch the other night. Pisses me off actually. I've been trying to find something relevant recently with life and the things I've been doing. I go out too much, drink too much, and now even smoke too much. It's a sick cycle though that I must quit.

I'm so tired of men, so tired of the bullshit I've been through recently. Many people say it isn't a big deal hooking up with rando's, but to me it has made me feel alone and empty. I want someone to seduce me because I'm beautiful and they love me...I don't want to be random, and available. Perhaps I'm too much of a hopeless romantic, but i want intimacy with someone that knows me in and out. I wonder if that will ever happen.

I"m also pissed with how some people are when they are drunk...the world does not revolve around you. This will never end though.

Okay that is all for now. So glad I am not working tonight. Going to Take A Stand which is definetly going to be intense and overwhelming but it is definetly something I need to go to.

Well, that's all for now. Maybe a nap!

Current Mood: discontent
wow, it certainly has been a while since I've worked on my live journal. well, i'm back safe to say. and a lot has happened to me since, um...yeah, summer. Here's a poem that reflects my life right now. It's not bad, it's not good...it just is...

"Your hands are a gift unlooked for, two trembling birds searching for a sky in my skin, finding it like North in their flight toward whatever home we are always driven to seek. And my heart aches to be an open cage, to be pried wide apart for you to see, it’s hollow enough inside for a flock of your fingers to reside forever against the delicate burning flower of my unrelentless heart.

One night, I looked into the lake of your eyes, surprised by the size of my own startled sighs. I realized that it’s not pain or remorse I carry, it’s a force beyond what I can restrain. I try to contain it with 9-to-5 and organize, I do my dishes instead of fantasize, I cook and clean and file and sweep just to keep this beast inside me asleep because this passion that resides has already devoured innocence once. I tried to contain it, silence its howls, but your hands have found the key to its cage, I can feel it awaken, killing this woman who has killed her rage by trying to forget that my pulse once lived at the base of my throat; that a glance across the room once soaked the inside of my thighs, forgot exactly which muscles in the small of my back rise to make my hips meet the night; the beast is hungry, and impatient, this is the animal inside they see when they say, “you are sexy,” not beautiful, but sexy, they see just the barest hint of the smoking jungle of the heart of my darkness, and no intrepid explorer has planted their mouth at the tree of my spine, has not scaled the mountains of my breasts to leave behind some sign, this country is deadly to the unready, but this not what I came here to say.

I came to say, thank you for showing me the way. With your hands, and the gardens of your eyes. And for however short a moment, rest your wings, in these arms, which will never seek to hold you down." Boullaine

So very true right now...Sigh

*YAWN* What a bizarre weekend! Friday night was pretty fun however. It started late but ended up to be pretty dang crrraazy. After a nice afternoon with my dear friend Abeba, eating Ethiopian and later me shopping, visitng Age at the K, and drinking coffee I was rearin to go out! Carina and I planned to go dancing. Jewel, got a hold of me and joined us. Everything just seems to work witih the three of us. Carina got back from the Rockies late but we still headed down to Club Dream. Before such a trip we went to the liquor store and got some gin and i bought a little plastic bottle of vanilla vodka (my fav)!! So we're drinkin in the car in the parking lot. it was hillarious to see how quick it hit Jewel and Carina....my organs are just bigger than theirs. Anyways, I finally got a buzz and we headed in! Such a cool, trippy place. It was all techno and we were probably the oldest kids there. It was great though, because everyone was watching us dance. Guess we've got techno moves. Pretty good night without creepy guys. Life is good for the most part. Something always is missing though...

My dreams confuse me and I haven't seen the sun in days. Can't seem to get that humming out of my head that tells me to find a man to pleasse the family, to please me. What do they think of me? Me, who has never known reaaaall love. I pull a 360 and look upon my friends and they're pleased, nodding their heads and telling me how great IT is. I smile to hide the fact that I have no clue what kind of energy they feel, they know. This shell embracing me is beginning to numb the pores of my vibrancy. I want to scream and shuffle off this layer of skin. Dry, dry, dry, dry.

Jun. 16th, 2004 @ 06:46 pm Me and a bottle of gin
What a day! I was thoroughly in love with the weather today! Rainy and cloudy, all day long! I decided that today was the day I would sleep in, and wake upon making myself a pot of coffee and watch a movie. I didn't have to go into work until 1pm, so I was thrilled.

Work was mediocre. I actually felt rather superfluous today. All of my research was unnecessary to them and that frustrated me. I worked on a speech that my boss has to give tomorrow. Hopefully she doesn't change every single thing I put in there.

After working till 6:30, I needed a stiff drink. Came home and dad gave me some money for dinner. I went for a sausage sandwich at Randi's and bought a bottle of gin. Dad and I sat and sipped gin and tonic and watched Moonstruck, my favorite movie ever!

Mom and I are doing better. We sat up and talked about my job and drank more gin and tonic. Most excellent. It's funny how in a certain light, we can catch people at their most perkiness. She didlook happier today.

Current Music: rat-a-tat-tat goes the fan...some more
Welcome, one and all! My first entry ever! Now, isn't that exciting? The name is Jen, Lolas to others. I'm spending my summer in my hometown, Arvada, Colorado. It's amazing how hyped I get to return from school and once I get here, I'm bummed and bored as all hell. My sanity however, exists because of my dear friends and siblings, Louis and Laura (sis-n-law).

The summer began slowly but has begun to pick up! Let me catch you up on the hub bub. Thank god for being 21, firstly. So many precious memories of boozing with my high school buddies. We still look at each other and are amazed we have pints in our hands...as if we were sneaky teens with fakes. My first good night was at Old Chicago. What was suppose to be an innocent evening of drinking a beer or two, ended up to be many beers and shots! After seeing Shrek 2 (freakin hillarious by the way) with Steph and Carina, we decided to hit the bars! Goodbye innocence!!! It was the first time, we ever went together! Jessica and Sarah joined us, and man did we get craazy. We tend to forget that there are people around us when we all get together. We shared many secrets (as usual) and well, everyone now is aware of Carina and mine's not so innocent cabin moments. Ah yes, cabin moments up in Estes Park...crazy times... Anyways Steph, Carina, and I decided it was time to sober up at Dennys. Dennys (the former highschool hangout for the goths and angst). These crazy old guys offered to buy our coffee. We were weirded out at first but realized they were harmless, just drunks. Woohoo free coffee!

Meanwhile...I was still trying to find a job.

The night after Old Chicago we had a girl's night out...another one. Aaron was our humble DD but we went to this lame club called "The Church" Aaron couldn't join us because he was wearing a tank. So they gave him a big ass shirt. Then, he had to pay 15 bucks to get in..which was lame. So, he hung out while we wandered around trying to have fun. Each room was techno and I was getting a headache. Nothing was interesting about this place. We decided to go back to Steph's and drink more. Aaron liquored up on Everclear as I downed more 99 Berries. Pam was crawling on the floor, and we still do not understand why. *scratches head* But apparently the funniest part of that night was me. With my head plastered to the pillow I screamed stupidly (I BUUU Profffffinn). Nobody took me seriously, and Steph handed me a calcium pill. HAHA! The joke was on me. Later, I was puking in Steph's toilet. Felt much better after that.

Those are the only drunk stories for the summer thus far. Not to bad, really. I've played DD for a night, which wasn't bad at all.

So, meanwhile I've been having those typical annoyances such as the mother. My best relief is hanging out with my Louis, my bro. The best night I've had consisted of taking a walk with him and just venting. He's been having issues as well, so together we feel like we can talk. I've come to find our problem! She, our mother, wants us to live a satisfactory life, and I appreciate that wholeheartedly. However, what she defines as success is not our success. For Louis, it's being with the person he loves. he has that. it's with having the friends he has. he has that. For me, well I'm still looking for my success. I'm not completely happy or successful but that's because I still don't know what I want. I certainly know it's not what my mom wants. ARGH! I plan on moving away to Portland, and I will. That is what will make me happy, that's my definition. Famous last words however, We shall see...

So for Laura's bday, we had this blow out party. First started at Thai Basil (drool). We then had a party at Geoff's house. I was kinda nervous about that, given my past with Geoff on New Year's two years ago. I negociated with myself however, because he really is a damn good kisser. Who care that he's my bro's best friend and that he's 30 or so. Anyways, he was harmless ( a little flirty, not bad at all). Lou's other friend Sam, is hot though...What the hell is with that name? Lolo and I beat Sam and Jordan at pool. I pulled a really hot (in my opinion) shot behind the back and sunk our last ball. It was hot, I have to admit. I don't admit that often. Anyways, this guy Matt and I talked all night. He was a film student, which was the kicker. Cute! Tall, dark hair. He said I look like Sophia Coppola. I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not. I think he's very much older than me but oh well...it's fun. He asked for my email...haven't heard from him though. This other guy, James tried to charm me all night. At first, it was cool we just chatted. He asked for my number after asking how much I had been drinking. I only had two beers so I was sober as all hell (damnit). Anyways, stupid me gave him it even though I would never date him. Louis and Sam, I could tell were annoyed by him. Once he was with other people he started acting like "Slim Shady" and that was it! The next day I warned my mom that if any masculine voices ask for me, I have polio. Wish Matt would email me...how lame does that sound?

Anyways, I found a great job. It pays crap but I'm learning lots and it will look great for my resume. My official title is PR/Marketing Associate which is fancy for saying I kiss ass lots. I love it though, I do fun things for my job.

Well that about sums up everything so far...my aunt is setting me up with this one guy, who is adorable. He's an EMT and firefighter (hot!) We'll see if anything comes of that...I'm not gonna cross my fingers though, I'm sure I'll find something about him that makes me uneasy. When will I ever be less picky?

That's it for now..have I bored you yet? And the fan continues to rat-a-tat-tat. Goodnight!
