....on me, that is. for not keeping you all updated on my life. i know, it's tragic.

so NBC turned into KNBC in L.A., and the people i talked to there were complete morons. sorry, i'm not picking up my life, moving across the country to intern at the local TV station filled with idiots. i can do that here. if this were actually NBC Universal, yes, i would go. here is what i had to deal with talking with two people at KNBC:

woman 1: "so, you're in illinois?"

me: "Indiana."

woman 1: "Oh, well this internship is in L.A. How would that work?"

me: "well, i have friends what live out there, so i would move out there for the semester."

woman 1: "ohhhhh..."

actually, ma'am, i'm gonna take the red-eye every night. it's a bitch of a commute but....

next phone call:

woman 2: "you're in indiana?"

me: "yes."

woman 2: "well, this would be in Los Angeles, so...I don't get how this would work?"

me: (holding back a sigh) "welllll, I would move out there."

woman 2: "but how would you be in school at the same time...if you're here?"

me: "um, this would count toward my degree. it would count as a class, actually."

woman 2: "and they would let you go?"

me: (no longer holding back sighs) "yes, an internship would be part of my credits.

woman 2: "ohhhh."

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF AN INTERNSHIP BEFORE? I COME. I LEARN. I LEAVE.

it's people like that who are in positions like those that really make me question America's intelligence. i'm not interning (i.e. sharpening pencils and getting coffee) for people who are unproffesional and just plain dumb. NOPE, i already work for people like that HERE.

siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. oh well, at least the woman i talked to from NBC universal was nice. and they took a second look at me, so that feels good. maybe this just means i'll be getting that fellowship with ABC Disney! oh man, that would be amazing.

everything is the same here in naptown. school started again, and i'm excited for one of my classes. i haven't been to the other class yet, so we'll see.

coaching started again as well, and it's just friggin hot out. i don't have anyone scoring goals, and my teams overall focus is making me very frustrated.

i just had a interview on friday with JP Morgan downtown with their education finance department. basically when schools request proposals on our student loan programs, i put them together. some writing on my part, and it's alot more money. it's going to be challenging, which i like. i had a phone interview today as well, and i nailed it! naturally.

let's see..what else? i miss my friends, like always. lauren is moving in with me sept.7th, and we are moving into a bigger house just down the street, but in the same development. i love the area, and i'm really glad i don't have to leave. plus TWO BATHROOMS! WOO!

i had a great weekend with my work friends. sandra threw a party, and we all went. it was a blast! if i do leave here, i will absolutely miss them the most.

so, there's my update. how about a what i'm reading, watching, and listening to? COOL.

 

Duh. I obviously bought the new Jonas Brothers album. i gotta tell you, it's pretty fantastic. catchy tunes, great beats, overall fun stuff. judge me, go ahead. i love them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i finsihed the last book in the twilight series a couple weeks ago. annnd then i started reading them all again! loved every single on of them. i didn't understand the backlash for the last book, i thought it was a good way to end it. although the first one is still my favorite. now if i can only wait until december 12th...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my dad gave me this book to read. he raved about it. i'm almost done, and while it is very good and inspirational to read...nothing in it has made me say, "wow, this book is awesome". and i usualyl do think that to myself when i'm  reading excellent books. but it's inspirational, so pick it up if you're into that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks to my wonderful, wonderful DVR..i can actually catch up on all things that i never have time to watch or always miss because i'm out. i've been really into the colbert report lately...i forgot how funny it was. and i watch it every morning while i get ready for work. also on my DVR: throwdown with bobby flay; diners, drive ins and dives; the daily show; Greek; gossip girl; the Hills; Jonas Brothers: livin the dream; The disney channel games; Conan O'brien

 

enough about me? how have YOU guys been?

The show was amazing! They put on a such a good live show. I turned 13 again...i danced, clapped, sang, jumped around. It was fun. Me and katie had a good time. they are really talented, they put on one hell of a show.

katie and i exchanged emails with all of our best friends, please enjoy reading about our experiences below:

 

From Katie yesterday:

THIS EVENING'S EVENTS INCLUDE:
 
1.) Jenna and myself going to the Jonas Brothers Concert at the Verizon Wireless Theatre.
2.) Jenna dressing up as a boyband groupie wannabe.
3.) Me (loving the Joe Bros) but waiting in line for a hot dog and trying not to be a pedophile unlike Mullins ramping her way through the crowd to try and get on stage.
4.) I will attempt to hold up a big sign that says AIDS.
5.) Also gonna make one that says "YOU BOOZE YOU LOSE!"
6.) TABLE TOPPING. need i say more.
7.) Jenna also said this and I QUOTE, "I'm gonna take a picture of my vagina and blow it up poster size."
8.)  Jo Bros usually bring up someone on stage. It will most likely NOT be Jenna. BLOOD. Everywhere. Babies crying. Jo Bros backpacks ripped to shreds. Hopes and dreams shattered. No college, high school, middle school dreams for anyone.
9.) I will most likely run into my high school soccer team I coach because last night they did inform me they were going and then they found out I was going. Embarrassing. And also they will most likely see Jenna trying to hold my hand.  Katie - 0    Life - 9898789
10.) I am taking a quarter for the one phone call I will get when we are in jail. Gina it will not be you. Metsch make sure you have gas in your car.

 

From Me:

also add to that list:
 
1. used tampons being thrown at any TWEENAGER who stands in front of me during Big Rob's rap on "Burning Up".
2. Katie being trampled after i announce that she has their cell phone numbers.
3. me holding hands right when katie's soccer team shows up "Oh Heeyyyy coach katie!"
4. me TRYING to get on stage by stabbing, pulling teeth, or tripping infants. whatever i need to do.
5. i am literally leaving work at 3pm. Parking lot opens at 430. Doors open at 5. Concert starts at 7. It's gonna be a LONG night.
 
Thank you. Please pull around. Bring on the judgement.

 

From katie this morning:

Oh so many things about the Jo Bros Concert last night. I will let Jenna write about that

 

and write about it i did....

 

I have a dull ringing in my ears from the high pitched SQUEALS from the girls standing behind us who i SWEAR to god were doing it on purpose. assholes. katie literally had to calm me down. "jenna, their 15."
 
but it was a GREAT show. katie made noises whenever joe did something on the big screen, i knew all the words and almost punched the girls behind me, and i had to dive onto the grass to save a good lawn seat for katie when she got there. so i was chillin by myself in the grass for almost an hour. i wasnt embarrassed. i brought a book!
 
maura asked if i left out of place there. sure didnt! as soon as they came on stage, i was jumping, singing along, clapping. katie and me probably only screamed when big rob came on stage to rap. best part of the show.
 
avril lavigne was good, demi lavoto was good, and the jonas brothers want me to carry their babies for them. they told me.
 
after the show's encore (they played "when you look me in the eyes" and "SOS" which made us really excited.) i booked it to my car, literally RAN. i got out in 10 minutes cuz i didnt wanna risk getting mad at the traffic and hitting a poor little girl just trying to cross the street.
 
all in all, a GREAT show. and if katie gets this job, that was kind of our last big roommate event for us. WOO!
 
there were so many girls with braces the sun reflected off of them and blinded me.
 
don't judge us. their music makes me happy! :)

 

 

GOOD TIMES GUYS.

 

 

 

 


 

 

Ohhhh heeeeeyyy Vox land. Land of the Vox. Vox-ville. VOX CITY! POPULATION YOU GUYS! alright, enough.

just throwin a little update your way. mostly my life consists of enjoying the fact that i don't have to go to school or soccer after work. I CAN JUST GO HOME! and while i should be unpacking my room or putting together our dining room table, i just sit around after work. it's amazing.

our new townhouse makes me feel at home. in the old place, it felt like a dorm room. but this place actually makes me feel like i have a home. i don't say, "i'm going back to my apartment". i say, "i'm going home." it's a great feeling. plus living with katie makes it nice too :) we like to talk about our days after work while we change and yell across the hallway into each others rooms.

not much else goin on. dolo's going away party and the jonas brothers concert is coming up next month, as well as finally getting my coaching lisence and planning my visit to dolo, gina and brit. that is apparently when gina wants to first draft of the script done. annnnnd DEADLINE. good.

how about a round of what i'm watching, reading, and listening to as a wrap up? super.

 

LISTENING TO: THE JONAS BROTHERS

it's my ringtone. can't wait to see them live. watch their performance and try and tell me their not talented little dollfaces. ohhhh jo bros love has got ahold of me...i'm not embarrassed.

 

 

 

 

 

We're re-watching One Tree Hill season one alllll over again. I bought it over the weekend which roughly brought my weekend spending tab to 700 dollars. Oops.

Also, my boyfriend Netflix brought me Dexter and The Starter Wife (meggy's suggestion) and i just finished the other Boelyn girl. MONEY.

 

 

And I read a Time to Kill on vacation. Took me a couple days, but it was VERY intense and better than the movie. and the movie was damn good. I'm not reading anything right now, mostly because i have netflix to catch up on. Well, Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide. That counts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And i will leave you with some pictures from my trip to Punta Cana:

 

...or are the Jonas Brothers absolutely adorable? I'm going to their concert in July with Katie because (well, I'm not sure why. I think we have a disney channel problem and decided to go) So I've been watching their videos, downloaing their songs, and watching interviews of them on youtube and they are just so damn cute and talented. Now me and Katie are fighting over Joe Jonas (he's 19).

Is it just me...or does Joe Jonas ooze some real grown up rocker sex appeal? Watch the S.O.S, video. The way he looks at the camera, with his eyes brooding and mysterious underneath that hat. Something about him. Something about all of them actually.

Is it just me...or am I too old to be drooling over a boy band? Nahhhh, never too old for that.

Lusting after underagers aside, this weekend we moved out of the shithole apartment and moved into a townhouse. More room, more love, i always say. Unfortunately, the move was so annoying that me and katie decide we're just never moving out. Even when we get married to our respective husbands, we're staying there. It's just easier that way.

Back to work. Enjoy the JO BROS as everyone calls them:

 

i love the weather outside. spring and early fall are mos def my favorite time of year. the weather is warm, with a nice breeze and the sun isn't overwhelming. i smile alot when i walk around outside. s m i l e

man, i missed all my shows last night because we went out for cinco de mayo. not many bars were open, but we made do with what we had. me, the wife, heather, and molly got mexican food and margaritas and then eric and hughes joined us at average joe's. we planned heather's going away party, katie said out loud that molly wasn't 21 yet, annnnnnd i almost fell asleep on the table.

i went into work late, and now i've actually been working. it's a pity, because i have so many shows to catch up on online.

i love monday and tuesday nights now! i have free time! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! what did i do with my first monday night when i wasnt in a classroom until 9? watched sex and the city until katie came home. embarassing.

this update was horrible. maybe because there is nothing to update. how about a little update on what i'm watching, reading, and listening to:

I'm getting my name is earl on netflix, and it's just a great show. If you ever have room on your queue, i suggest picking this up. because it has some of the most brilliant characters on TV.

 

i've been combing through the four different books on TV scriptwriting. i love them all. now i gotta get writing. i'm TRYYYYYYYYING.

my favorite author came out with a new book a couple weeks ago. she does young adult novels, and thats when i fell in love but her books still absolutely amaze me. even thought their based around high school, they are just amazing.i literally stayed up until 3am when i had one of her books because I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. i did not want to. i think i just passed out due to exhaustion. but i just loved it.

anyways, this was not my favorite of hers. it was still very good, but not like the one mentioned above. now i have to wait a really long time for the next one :(

whats most embarrassing is that i picked up one of her old books (i own them all) and now i'm reading it again and of course carrying it around with me in my purse just in case i find 5 spare moments during the day to read it.

Natasha Bedingfield, AKA the woman who sings "Unwritten" (the Hills theme song) has some pretty amazing songs. i only listened to waht was on the radio, but thanks to Pandora Internet Radio, i've heard songs from her albums and they are awesome. I'm pretty obsessed with her right now.

 may is a big month for me. disneyworld trip, two BIG movies coming out, and a trip to detroit to see Dolo. hooray.

Congrats to all my recent college GRADS!!! welcome to the real world, it sucks so much it rocks.
