christmas is less than a month away.
fyi: everyone is getting gifts from the sales racks at urban outfitters.
because thats how poor i am.
i am super excited about getting an iphone.
i better get a fricken iphone.
i've only been telling EVERYONE that i'm getting one.
because i'm an awful spoiled brat.
....i'm really not that much of a brat.

turkey day was nice.
i ate tons of stuffing.
&pumpkin cookies with chocolate chips.

jb on ellen: (look close enough, you can see me &mischa.)



after the ellen show:


markie &mischa:



jb fans &the amas:

i'm too lazy to write about all of the crazy stuff that happened this month.
but basically it was an amazing month.
sadly a lot of it was jonas brothers related.
"what am i doing with my life" -lauren klein


mischa &i started our own youtube channel.
so check it out.

october 24-
mischa &i went to the taping for the ellen degeneres show.
which the jonas brothers were on.
long story short.
we lucked into getting tickets.
&then we lucked into getting front row seats.
(better seats then denise jonas &frankie.)
mischa convinced denise to talk to the boys about doing a meet &greet.
so all fans that met them that night should thank my sister.
it was a lotta fun.
they're adorable.
meeting them was pretty sweet.

november 16 &18-
mischa, lauren, brianna, &myself managed to get our way into being a part of the JB performance on the AMAs.
the rehearsals were so much fun.
the fans are vicious though.
being a jb fan is a dangerous business.
the day of the show was awesome.
our group ended up making friends with a lot of the other girls.
so we made some allies. &some enemies.
we're girls.
the show was cool too.
we were all super nervous. &we (our group) were holding hands before we "performed"
afterwards they gave us tix to the show.
&they were pretty good seats.
all in all. it was an incredible weekend.

november 17-
randomly hung out with andrew janes.
he came down to my house &invited me to a kings game.
so i went &had a great time.
i think that was the first time i'd ever hung out with him alone.
&we've been neighbors for like 10 years.
perhaps the beginning of a new friendship??
we shall see.

today-
slept in &missed french class.
took a test in art history.
made menudo. yumm.
&mexican hot chocolat with my mama.

tomorrow-
is THANKSGIVING!!!!
i get to wakeup early &clean.
woohoo.
whatevs.
i looooove turkey day.
mmmm.stuffing. that's all i gotta say.

xx. markie.

last thought.
i think i'm gonna go watch hairspray.
we got it yesterday.

so i just got home from work.
ummm...
the store is wrecked.
i feel bad for whomever is opening at 8.
it was soooo busy.

but atleast we had a good closing crew.
keeley, steph, jermmel, christina, &tommy.
oh tommy.
tommy. tommy. tommy.
he's like all of the female urban outfitters employee's favorite topic.
for many reasons.

we all took a bunch of polaroids.
t'was good fun.

it's allison's birthday now.
thank goodness i bought her gift months ago.
i am soooooo broke.
beyond broke.
i have no idea what the heck we're gonna do tonight.
i'm working 3-7.
i think that the girls might be meeting me at urban.
it makes sense.
it's pretty easy to get to all of the good places in l.a from burbank.
studio city, hollywood, pasadena..... whateva.
i hope that whatever we're doing involves icecream.
i've been craving baskin robbins.
i've also been craving dancing.
icecream &dancing.
perrrrfect.

on monday i had my first guitar lesson.
my fingers feel like they are going to fall off.
not only do i suck.
but i give up way too easy.
but atleast i'm practicing.
i'm going to be amaaazing.

i am still waiting on news about the jonas brothers on ellen.
i said i wouldn't get my hopes up.
but i totally have.

i missed my sister's choir show.
i feel really bad.
she's been to all of my shows.
i seriously owe her.
i went to her drama show like 2 weeks ago.
it was a lot of fun.
except that i actually sat next to zac efron's uncle.
what a jerk.
like seriously.
i think i am really east to get along with.
but this guy was very rude.
i don't care if he is the uncle of one of the most beautiful guys in the world.
......ummm if you're confused.
my sister goes to school with zac's cousin.
i had no idea the jerk was his uncle until after the show, when my sister told me.
so yeah...that's the background on that.

little miss sunshine.
i totally saw her today.
abigail breslin &spencer breslin.
they both came into urban with their whole family.
she's actually like really pretty.
i mean she was a cute little girl.
but she's a very pretty lady.
&he's really tall.
television is so misleading.
....i mentally flipped out.

my sidekick died.
it no longer functions.
so i am back to using my motorola flip-phone.
until xmas. when i get the iphone.
i can't wait.
the cool about the phone i'm using now...
is that i get really cool ringtones that the sidekick didn't get.
like all of the jo bros songs from their new album.
&every single rooney song.
so i totally bought.
"goodnight &goodbye" "that's just the way we roll" & "sorry sorry"
yeah. my dad's not gonna like that.


i'm exhausted.
gonna go &catch some shut eye.

last thought...
ellen....
caalllll me.

i am siiiick.
bleh.
i NEVER get sick.

the battery on my laptop is low.
so i have to make this short &sweet.

i took my french exam today.
cross your fingers that i did well.
i need to get a good grade in this class.

today was pay day.
thank the stars.
&i got a raise.
woo hoo.
i went to the urban in studio city today.
i'm thinking of switching to that store.
i love the people at the burbank store.
but i really enjoy studio city.
plus the store is so cute.

i had me some yummy pink berry today.
mmm mmm mmm.
i'd never been into an actual pink berry store.
they're so cute &modern.
the one in the valencia mall is like a little food court counter.
boooring.
so is valencia.

i missed jazz choir tonight.
i hate that i did.
but i feel awful.

so i was watching hannah montana & the suite life of zack &cody earlier.
my dad was giving me a hard time.
but he was totally laughing during hannah montana.
so whatever.

i watched a mighty heart with my dad.
i cried.
i always cry.
it was a good movie.
i enjoyed it.
i love brangelina.
did you know brad p. produced it??
i didn't.

so...
teddy geiger is going to be playing at the glass house next month.
i am so there.
i gotta get tickets.
who wants to come with??

& new jo bro news...
they're going to be on ellen on october 26.
i applied for tickets for the taping.
but i'm not getting my hopes up.
i have bad luck.
a fan put up video of the "goodnight &goodbye" dance on you tube. from tuesday's show.
not the best sound, but you can see the dance really well.
it makes me happy.

goodnight. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand goodbye.



last thought...
i miss teddy geiger.

yesterday was one of the longest days of my life.
but it was amazing.

my sister &i spent the night at my grandma's on monday night.
we woke up at 4:30 &by 5:15 we were on our way to E! Studios to watch 102.7 kiis fm.
the jonas brothers were on with ryan seacrest.
there was at least 100 people there by 7am.
it was really fun.
they even did a short acoustic set for us outside after.
it was so cute.
i totally made eye contact with nick for like a looong period of time.
...&mischa &i ended up meeting lauren, betina, &karina.
3 really cool fans.

then..
our car got towed.
as did betina's. my fault, sorry b.
but we met some really awesome girl named danielle wallace.
[[she's gonna be famous.]]
&she started talking to us &offered to take us to the towing place.
i had to pay $150. &i have a parking ticket to deal with. argh.
now i'm broke.

from there....
danielle &lauren, betina &karina, mischa &myself drove to the beverly hills hotel.
to use the bathroom. ha.

then....
mischa &i followed betina's car to lauren's house in tustin.
where we watched jo bro stuff on tivo until we left for the so cal fair.
mischa &i did not buy seating for the show.
because i stupidly thought that general admission would be in the front like at the ventura county fair.
wrong.
betina, lauren, &her sister &her sister's friend had tickets.
so mischa &i were prepared to rock out from our boony bleacher seats.

...but as were waiting we saw that radio disney was opening up there booth.
so lovely b asked if they were going to be giving away tix for seats.
&they were.
but.... not so easy.
we had to participate in all kinds of competitions.
we had to do some trivia.
&we had to hoola hoop.
which was humiliating!
&we still lost.
but thanks to good karma, good looks [[from my sister]], a tinsy bit of flirting,
kissing radio disney ass, &mischa's excellent foam dart throwing aim...
&we won tickets!

&they were actually pretty good seats.
the show was soooooooooo much fun.
....it would have been so much MORE fun from the way front.
but i really had a good time.
&i've kinda lost my voice.

now the question is...
was it worth the $150 towing fee &the potentially $150 parking ticket.
probably not.

but i got to:
spend some time with my sister.
start writing a song with my sister.
see a really fun show.
meet a future celebrity.
see the jo bros from arms distance.
make eye contact with nick j.
be on the kiis fm website.
finally see the goodnight &goodbye dance in person.
dance like crazy on a wobbly folding chair.
&make some really awesome friends.


now.....
it sucks to be back in reality.
with a french exam tomorrow.
a 3hour class in an hour.
&obligations galore.
but it's days like yesterday that make life fun &exciting.

last thought...
&i wish that nick j. was older.
or that i was younger.

bah.
i'm awake.
i've got a lot of stuff to do today.
french homework.
french class.
gym.
study for art history test.
work @ 3.

dammit.

i dunno if i'm gonna have time for the gym.
grrrrrrrr.

i feel hungover again!
&it's all because i had coffee before bed.
really really strong coffee.
i already hate today.

my manager last night made us do a 3 hour close.
wtf!?
it was monday night. i mean c'mon.
i am tiiiiiiiiiiiiiired.
&grumpy.

jilly is having a baby tomorrow!!!!!
i can't wait to see my little nephew chase.
i'm so excited.
&crystal is pregnant too.
i dunno if i mentioned that yet.
so i'm getting another niece or nephew on april 6.
yay!!!!! yay for babies.
i'm gonna have a whole bunch of them when i get older.
but not now. no way. :)

i'm going to start my homework.

last thought:
i need to start crushing on attainable guys.

i just got home from jazz choir.
it was long.
i miss melia.
last semester, the songs were so much better.
but i do like singing with a lot of my old friends from high school.
we did solo auditions today.
but i wasn't really interested in auditioning.
jeremy k. &taylor m. got a solo, i'm excited for that.

i went to pasadena today with my thursday girls.
it was sweet.
i bought a hello kitty key accessory.
&now danielle owes me money.
grrrrr.

right now i am at home.
i'm about to start working on a collage for my sister.
i've been putting it off for a while &now she won't get off my case about it.

on tuesday at work i saw paolo nutini.
he was checking out as i was walking up to the cashwrap to put my till in the drawer.
at first i just looked at him &thought well that guys hot
&then i realized that he was paolo nutini.
i mentally flipped out.
so i got to ring up a friend that he was with.
&then paolo thanked me when he left.
i almost died.

i love my job.

the jonas brothers were number 6 on trl today.
that's pretty exciting for them.
they're going on a "west coast" radio tour this weekend.
i don't think you can call it a west coast tour if you don't visit southern cali.
"yo that's illogical. i can't have it."
i wish they were coming back to l.a sooner. &for longer.
whatever.

here is a picture from the work party i went to last weekend.
sooooo much fun.


well good night &goodbye my loves.

last thought:
i really love my job.

hey hoes.
it's been a while.
summer is oooover.
dammit.

my school schedule is pretty idiot proof.
so i say now.
i'll figure out a way to screw my life up.
just like EVERY semester.
good 'ol me.
i'm taking french, art history &jazz choir. [[just jazz]]
i like it. SO FAR.

i have work tonight.
woo hoo.
not so much.
i am still completely exhausted from the work party i went to on saturday night.
insane.
it was sooooo crazy.
there was one particular cute guy there that i was too afraid to talk to of course.
next time i'll be more outgoing.
it was really fun hanging out with the people i work with on a personal level.

i seriously have to go to the gym today before i have to go to work.
i'm definitely going.

on november 3, i am going to san luis obispo.
for the cuesta college jazz festival.
but guess what.
the jonas brothers are playing in san diego (the opposite side of the state.)
on the SAME day.
wtf!?
life sucks.
i wanted to go so bad.
they're going on tour with hannah montana soon.
&even though i love her...
i'm not interested in seeing her from the nosebleeds at the staples center.

don't laugh at me because i like the jonas brothers &miley cyrus.
you're just too pussy to admit that you like them too.
:)

i've talked to her before in person.
she came into urban outfitters while i was working the fitting rooms.
she is friggin tall.
maybe i'm just short.
whatever.
i like her.

alright.
so i'm out.
love you.

last thought:
i love d.j. danger

very few will understand what i mean by that.

so it's like 2:20 in the morning.
and being up this late is a big mistake.
because that means i'm gonna sleep in tomorrow.
&when i sleep in too late, i feel like i've thrown the day away.
especially since i've gotta be at work tomorrow at 2 until closing.
dammit.

i was lazy today.[[yesterday]]
i DID, however, make it to the gym.
&i did go to my jenny craig meeting.
i'm down 3 pounds.
5 in 2 weeks.
yay for me.

went to coffee with the girls, which was nice.
&the spa with them plus austin phillips &john teague.

i think heather &john are into each other.
it's cute.
&liz has a boyfriend.
not to mention lele &josh of course.
that leaves me &allie alone.
bla.

i am gonna be 19 soon.
yay for me.
fuck boyfriends.
no. i'm not bitter at all.

i'm going to bed.

last thought...
i am going to get sick from eating too many starbucks mints.
