| ASHLEE SIMPSON ROCKS!
At least, that's what they had us cheer in order start the show. But before the show started, I had to GET THERE first. And THAT, my friends, was an adventure in itself. So, what should have taken me 40 minutes... really took me 2 hours to get to Brea Mall. Basically, MapQuest sucks, and you really have to use your own brain when you drive. I thought I was totally going to miss the show and have gone all the way there for NOTHING. Luckily, like all celebrities, Ashlee did not go on stage at the scheduled time. I was half an hour late, but still managed to see the whole thing. I was supposed to meet my cousin Helen there, and since she got there earlier than I did, she was close to the stage. I tried to push my way through, but of course, people got mad. "Hey you can't do that!" "Okay, sorry... well I'm just gonna do this... *PUSH*" "Security!!! This girl is trying to cut!" And I'll have you know, these are NOT 12-year-olds. I got as close as I could without getting my hair pulled out by some Asian chick who was trying a little too hard to look like Ashlee (black eyeliner, black hair! WTF?) I was still about five people behind my cousin and her friend. IT SUCKS BEING BY YOURSELF IN A HUGE MOB OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ANGRY AT YOU BECAUSE YOU STEPPED ON THEIR TOES. I couldn't really enjoy it, honestly. But I'm happy that I got to see her yell live, cause she's really good at that. Then her voice gives out... and that's cool, too! She was dressed like a boy today... which reminds me of that episode when Jessica says to Ashlee, "You don't look like a boy! What do you mean you're a boy? *weird look*"
The part that absolutely pissed me off about the show is this: Ashlee introduced "Pieces of Me", which is a GREAT song, and then she decides to get different and brings up an audience member. OMG -- could she have picked a more WEIRD girl than this chick who had huge, bushy hair and stupid sunglasses, and was just WEIRD? I'm not even jealous of the fact that she got to sing the WHOLE SONG WITH ASHLEE ON STAGE... she was just weird! It ruined the song, because everywhere Ashlee moved, there was this girl right next to her following her every move. She was just... weird. What a tard.
Anyway, here are some pictures... enjoy! (Remember, these are all blind, above-the-crowd-point-and-shoot shots!)
What I think is the best picture quality-wise:
Best singing impersonation:
Best yell:
Best arm dance:
Best hair:
Best crappy picture:
Ashlee Power!
Best dance:
Best gut:
"Just Surrender"... live!

| When did I start getting my ass kicked by school? I was doing so well the first two weeks... you know, actually reading and stuff. All of a sudden, my derriere is at the mercy of my art history class! I HATE art so much right now... and if I have to look at another nude sculpture of a Greek man, I'm gonna break off his little marble penis! (Oh, btw, did you guys know that you're not supposed to touch things at an art museum??? I didn't.) | | |
| Should I quit the bookstore and get a job at The Grove? I know I would get at least $9 if not more, which is $1.65 more than I get at the bookstore... but is it worth the commute, the gas money, the mileage gained, the stress of being around loaded people all the time? Well, that last part is not really anything different being at SC, I guess.  I don't know... and retail just pisses me off sometimes, too. I know for sure that I don't want to work with clothes (you can thank the GAP for that) so I was thinking Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body Works, or this jewelry store Ice that sells like Fred Segal's and starts at $10... PLUS commission. But the thing is, I hate interviews and acting like I actually care about their company and being fake and stuff (cause you know that's how you have to act). Well, if I do go, it'll be today... maybe I'll stop by Beverly, too, and see if I can get any applications for some middle to upper-middle retail stores (which will probably be impossible there). This is purely about money, because I really don't mind my bookstore job as far as the work is concerned. Alright, wish me luck in my financial endeavors! | | |
| This past week has been awesome! I'm shocked that I'm not sick of Jason yet, because we have been spending every waking moment together. Some highlights include: getting lost in South Central, throwing tantrums at Disneyland (he actually sat down in the middle of Disneyland and threw a hissyfit, and then I cried amidst all of it), killing many trees printing mapquest driving directions and STILL getting lost, giving a homeless man french fries (and he didn't even say thank you!), and giving a monkey a quarter. What's sad is that we get approached almost daily by bums who just want some change, and me and Jason run away as fast as we can from them, but I give in so easily to this MONKEY on 3rd Street who's trained to look for shiny round things. I'm so tired, and I don't know when daylight savings time is supposed to happen tonight. I haven't posted pictures in a while, so enjoy!
We'll start off at Disneyland:
This is me and Jason with Mushu from Mulan...
In a classic car... with no doors.
California Adventures:
Me, Jason, and Sully! I don't know why my arm looks like it has CELLULITE but that's nasty. Anyway, the dumbass who took the picture was nice enough to get his finger in the pic too.
This scared the hell out of me - The Hollywood Tower of Terror. See us in the far left back corner? Note that everyone looks fairly happy:
Except me.
I'm much happier at this point:
And here, too:
Yeah, we're lame and cheap so we take pictures of pictures.
Jason driving a crappy car but looking really happy:
And last but not least, a picture of a true Disney princess:
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!
More later, byeee!

| I think I had a fulfilling summer. I almost feel like everything I did here in 3 months was so much more satisfying than everything I did in LA in 1.5 years. My internship was awesome, I made friends at GAP, and I even had time for friends and loved ones too! :P But starting tomorrow, when I board my plane for LA, I'll have to store those memories in my 'good memories shoebox' and get ready for what lies ahead of me. But before I have to face the next grueling school year, I get to spend 2 weeks with my Jason in LA! I bet he's gonna hate me after spending 24 hours a day with me cause NOBODY can handle my whining all day. :D We're gonna go to Disneyland and then to SeaWorld and to the San Diego Zoo Safari Ride! I hope I don't get lost TOO much.
This just in: Kewee and Kimi are coming to LA for Thanksgiving! Wheee! They didn't even tell me until AFTER they got their tickets! "Oh, by the way, Stella, I bought my ticket to LA." Nah, I'm happy! | | |
