Trying to save money suuuuucks!

Right now I'm trying to pay off my credit card bill which skyrocketed during the Christmas season and so I'm trying to cut down on my spending to pay it off. i didn't really realize how much it can cost just to go out and walk around. In an effort to have fun on a budget me and some friends went to City Walk last night, just to get out of our apartments but not do anything too crazy. It ended up costing us $10 just to park and when we got there all the stores were closing and it was super cold out. We stayed for all of 20 minutes before we just got back in the car and went to Target to kill time, since it was the only thing up. Not including gas money our little "free" trip cost us each about $15 which we could've just used to go see a movie or saved up for when we had some money to go shopping. All this leads to one thing: Sun, if you're listening, you really need to come out more so I can go to the beach and not worry about all this!

Lily Allen

Is my new favorite artist! I just got her CD (and I hardly ever actually buy a CD) and it rocks my world. It's easy to listen to yet really upbeat and fun. On top of that she's got great style and a kick ass music video... the last time I was so enthusiastic about an artist was probably back in my NSync days!
PS Lance Bass you're still my favorite member and you being gay is only a slight set back in our master plan to get married

I'm pretty sure I just figured out when myspace will become uncool

When your parents start making profiles. Yup, that's right, my mom now has a myspace page. She asked me to help her set it up a few weeks ago complete with a profile song (Rick James "Superfreak" is case you were wondering,) pictures of her, background, the whole thing. Now she can check up on me through my myspace profile and see what pictures I have up or what my friends are saying to me. I think once this starts happening more frequently people are going to delete their myspace, just try telling your parents you love going to class only to find out the read your comments on myspace and know you went to the beach that day instead.... not fun.

If yahoo messenger and AIM got in fight yahoo messenger would OWN

Recently my friend turned me on to yahoo messenger cause it's the only way people can talk to her at work and since then I've forced all my friends to get on that thing too. The smiley faces on yahoo messenger are the best, they're annimated and have tons more options. I also love the little buzz feature which alerts the person you're talking to, to pay attention (it's perfect for annoying the girls I live with.) There is also a web chat feature and you can change the names on your buddy list to what every you want, so it will tell you, your friend Stinky McSmell-a-lot is online. Best thing ever!

Roommate update

So as I've already mentioned I share a room with a crazy person. Well, its only gotten worse... On Thursday my roommate had my car towed FROM MY OWN SPOT! She claimed she had never seen it before and didn't know who it belong to and that I was parking in her spot. THEN the next day her dad came to remove all the furniture in the apartment that was her's, which happens to include the bed I sleep on. That was sure nice to come back to, and I ended up having to move a mattress at 2 in the morning so I could have somewhere to sleep. The good news is now I have my own room and hopefully the crazy won't be coming back anytime soon.

Hi my name is Jessica....

And I'm a Perez-a-holic. I just can't get enough of it! I find myself checking it right when I wake up and right before I go to bed. Interning in a PR firm that deals with a lot of celebrity press and seeing what goes into booking a magazine cover or getting a feature article, I love that there is no presmission or anything required to get onto PerezHilton.com. He can pretty much say whatever he wants and even post some of the press releases that the publists issue on his website. I think this actually gives the public a much better understanding of what REALLY is going on in the celebirty world, and even when he does put a celebrity down it just makes them appear more human and I for one am willing to be more forgiving of that celebrities actions. Showing celebirties in this human light and cutting through all the quotes and statements they issue which are often no more than just a quote a celebrity publists made up and sent to a media outlet, really gives people a better picture of the inter-working of the industry. I <3 Perez!

Living situation

So I'm currently trying to figure out where I'll be living next year as the rates in the buliding I am currently in have gone up so much that I would be paying close to a thousand dollars a month to share a bedroom. As much as I like living across the street from campus I sure don't like it THAT much. Which means I'm on craigs list every day seaching for bulidings or houses or anything so that I have a roof over my head next year. By doing this I realized i can have my own room in a 3 bedroom house for about the same I am paying in rent right now to share a room (although my roommate hasnt come back all semester...see previous posts on her.) Its so crazy that all these USC students are so willing to pay for an apartment just to be close to campus when they could really be getting so much for their money by moving a little bit further away and renting a house or apartment. I guess what they say is true... location, location, location
