- 2 weeks ago went to nyc ....met up with nolan.. friday katrina & i went to this amazinggg restaurant in soho (and went back saturday), shopping & met up with mac. saturday went to the new museum near our hotel, more shopping & went to a bunch of bars & there were a bunch of idiots out.. sunday we went uptown & then to no fun fest to see nolan play, who was too busy being bff with thurston moore. i had horrible japanese food with all of the people he was on tour with, then we went to this super pretentious bar & got let past the velvet rope.. we heard chloe sevigneywhatever hangs out there- the only person we recognized was the bar back from baltimore. i just felt sick from the food i ate the entire time.
- when i got back, beetle was finally fixed when i got back but cost like $3k which is insane & i have to pay off
- went out last week to the new bar on north ave. was way crowded fri night, went back saturday with risa and it was empty & i liked it better.. then went to the bank to see evan dj
- i got another job.. i started yesterday and it's at a non profit organization with 3 other people in the entire company... its ridiculous working 1 job at an arts marketing firm where they act like selling ads in a magazine is the biggest deal, compared to this job where they're doing something that's actually important.
- to add to 2 jobs, i have 2 classes starting next week so i'm enjoying "summer" this weekend
- oh yeah saw the sex & the city movie last night and it was not good. even more not good: the crowd that was there

oookay the one other person that was here left the office now i'm alone & my life isn't very exciting so thats it for the updates

Sun, 11 May 2008 04:16:33 GMT

i've been so sleepy, this happens everytime i'm about to go somewhere for a weekend and i end up being tired the entire time. my class is done so no school until 1 month, just getting really boring. all week i have been car-less because beetle died in front of the bma, then again on the way home from the ottobar.
i missed my weekly gossip girl party with risa on monday (but OMFG!! to that episode, this show is way more ridic than the oc ever was)
tuesday i just barely made it to the ottobar for smart growth/the teenagers. i totally did not want to go on stage & make a fool of myself like the other girls but i did anyway & sang because no one else knew the words (for real..why would you go on stage, grab the mic, then not know any lyrics & stand there like an idiot?).. i went "backstage" with denny (ps- random annoying girl talking about me like i was going up there to bang him, a-he's one of my boyfriends best friends, b-his girlfriend was next to me all night..so shut up) & talked to the french guy who only cared about watching lost & crabcakes, then i left cos upstairs was stupid
wednesday & thursday i didnt want to go out & just felt tired, friday i was going to see nolan on tour in philly but the show was too early, so anna & i got fake cheesesteaks & margaritas...met up with risa & britney & her friends..this girls birthday & she did NOT want to be out celebrating, but her friends were forcing "fun" onto her & it was all so awkward.. we were going to too many places so i came home around 12:30.
today i wandered around the mall buying nothing & visiting katrina, then debated going to allentown to see nolan play but scared of beetle dying on me, so i'll just see him on friday in nyc..risa was going to call me to hang out & i'm glad she didn't because all i feel like doing is laying in bed, texting nolan & watching tv... which is what im going to do now.

wtf is up flickr

Thu, 01 May 2008 06:51:52 GMT

ok so i joined flickr not that long ago & within a few months, here is a sample of what i've seen:

and... this guy (his acct is nothing but him in like a child's nightgown) letting me know about his penis

Thu, 01 May 2008 05:30:03 GMT

i've been sleeping way too much, and waking up at 10pm/falling asleep at 3am=not good.
my class is almost finished (thank god) but i'll be taking 2 more in june.
i went to atlantic city & lost all of my money in $.01 slots..and lost my bank card
i should really look into glasses, after 1hr at work everything is extremely blurry
my car broke down after seeing the photography exhibit at the bma & it's working but i have a large metal pipe in my backseat. also, getting gas & having an old homeless men say "you drivin dat buuugg it need oil" is uncomfortable
saw the movie teeth twice, which i recommend due to it's ridiculousness & many severed body parts..and had me googling vagina dentata
nolan starts his tour next week, i will be going to philly next week to see him.. then to nyc the weekend of his show & to meet up with kim, who i havent seen in a year.. and possibly mac
i am way too addicted to gossip girl

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 21:31:22 GMT

i'm wasting time before i have to get ready... risa, kristyn, jenna & i are surprising jessie sue with birthday sushi in fells pt tonight-- good thing it's super nice out today. i have a dress i'd like to wear without tights, but too bad my legs are covered in scabs and cuts that look like they belong to a 12yr old boy.
nolan's birthday was saturday..i drove him to see his friend matt franco in bethlehem. first we stopped in philly & i had a bad fake cheesesteak on south st. the cheesesteak i had with anna at one world the day before was 10xxx's better. matt & his girlfriend were very cute & got nolan a cake & made all this food...we went to a bar downstairs from the apt. and this old folk artist named mr. imaginary was there. nolan & matt talked to him while kristina & i played photohunt. when we were leaving mr. imaginary introduces himself to me & immediately tells me i'm going to have a daughter one day.. uhhh super strange. we went to allentown the next day, then came back saturday night, ate chinese & watched tv. i love "transamerican love story" on logo. basically the bachelor but the woman is a post-op transgender-ridiculous.
okay i need to shower now..

why...WHY does one of my coworkers listen to the thong song every single day??

conversation with pretentious friend who now lives in williamsburg

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 04:03:16 GMT

friend: yo
friend: Yelle was just on MTV
friend: how utterly depressing
me: haha i saw that
friend: so wack
me: i guess its unavoidable since the whole nu rave electro is like what emo/shitty bands like alkaline trio/promise ring etc were when we were in middle/high school
friend: yeah
me: like, who the hellll was listening to anything remotely like justice when we were in hs?? no one i know
friend: and now we have like..the teenagers up for vote on trl
me: like...its annoying to see, nolans sister is a senior in high school & shes like "omgZZZ GIRL TALK, THE RAPTURE, BATTLES, BAT FOR LASHES" COOL and this is a suburban nerd white girl who is on the dance team as an afterschool activity
friend: you just didn't know the right people tough guy
me: if she's got a computer, she's on pitchfork spending her parent's $.99 at a time on itunes downloading whatever she thinks is cool
me: it doesnt take knowing the right pple
friend: i can't even really listen to music anymore
me: it takes knowing how to navigate to some shitty blog and acting cool
me: 2 clicks and youre at some dumbass blog and buying dunks from urban outfitters and all of a sudden youre way more awesome than anyone else??
friend: no, i mean you didn't know anyone listening to shit like justice in hs b/c you didn't know weirdo fuck iconoclasts like stuart miller or thomas carolan who were bumping autechre out of their dads' benzes
me: yeah well i grew up in a retarded suburb and most people didnt know any of that.. my point is this whole electrowhatever genre has taken a life of its own but had it been another genre 7yrs ago it would be the same shit different music... its just so easy for mtv to find whats so "underground" and turn it into something playing over the speakers during homeroom
me: when i went to that teenagers show in brooklyn JOHN NORRIS from mtv was there...dude is like 40+
friend: yup
friend: music industry's dead anyway, i'm witnessing it firsthand, so i don't really get upset about it hahaha
friend: don't get your pressure up kiddo
friend: 4.50
me: im not upset.. i listen to what i like.. i will go to a show get drunk and ignore everyone else and enjoy it
me: i like crystal castles--went to the show on sunday and for some reason everyone was a frat boy from towson in a pink lacoste shirt (??) but i had fun
friend: sounds like someone needs to move williamsburg so someone can experience a glut of shithead hipster fucks
me: oh trust me, baltimore has that too--but its even worse because the city is so small everyone you see you hate, know someone who hates them, has fucked someone you know, has fucked you, or you fucking hate them

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 05:40:56 GMT

it's saturday night & im sick of doing homework so ill post here instead. i was going to go to philly..then decided maybe to go to the talking head..but instead im staying home because i ate 1/2 of a huge calzone & i feel sick, i went to a party/show at the copycat until like 4am last night, and i plan to see crystal castles tomorrow night and ive been going out too much. on thurs i wanted to see funny games with nolan but we ate too much mexican food & didnt feel like it so we went to denny's and i drank a bunch of sofia wine/champagne (people keep debating this) while watching youtube videos. oh yeah and katrina & i went out monday & had amazing garlic/rosemary fries at brewers art then when to club charles then i somehow ended up alone with supercult chase and him telling me it's hard being in porn but also how he wanted to date me like 5 years ago and i remind him of nolan's ex (which is all creepy because it was his birthday & his age is closer to my mother's than mine) but his friend gave me good advice for when i go to atlantic city next month. oh yeah and like 2 weeks ago i fell down some steps wearing vintage boots that were falling apart & spent the next week limping. i went to mstrkrft with katrina, risa & jesse sue but it wasn't so fun with like a ton of 18yr olds, and a kid got arrested for trying to use the same fake id multiple times. risa jesse & i have been trying to do different things so we went to a few shows instead of sitting at the ottobar and staring at the same people being annoying, we went to this one show at the floristree but i got a headache there were so many cameras it was like tmz was there (i later found out it was actually rolling stone mag). next week is nolans birthday but i dont know what to get him & all he wants is equipment for his tour & i have no idea about noise shit so i'm at a loss. writing about what ive done is 1 big paragraph mess so look at my photos instead..im all about taking them but dont want to be in any of them so just click on it

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 21:10:14 GMT

im trying to think what i've done this year, considering it's going to be march already in a few days. all i do is work & go out at night or sit at home watching shows like rock of love.

this weekend..
-went to brewers art fri w/risa, anna, jesse sue & katie, then to the nerve center..then to danny's house to get nolan but ended up there until 4am
-woke up, tried to get nolan to see 4months 3 weeks..whatever its called, he didnt want to so i made him go to one world with me
-debated on going to the double dagger show...i took forever & instead went to club charles with katrina, and recieved a free shot from the gayest man i've ever seen
-sunday i was going to work out with katrina, instead looked at houses.. then went to the harbor with risa & jesse sue..jesse had never been to the new theatre, so we went & had drinks while we waited for the movie to start & they you're allowed to drink in the theater, which was not a good idea for some people
-ate too much popcorn, felt sick, went home & watched the oscars

now im going to leave work to go play xbox games with nolan

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:30:33 GMT

very funny walking into the empty bar last night & risa says "look amelia, you're sitting next to your sister" ......aaaand it was m.i.a. (who although is in every marc jacobs magazine ad i've seen in the past months, was wearing a horrible oversized hoodie & had a knockoff chanel purse)

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 20:43:48 GMT

ugh, having a job where you're alone and you do whatever you want is not as fun as it sounds.

mtv true life: going to the ottobar is like being on the hills

Thu, 07 Feb 2008 05:12:29 GMT

you know how on that mtv show the hills how lauren & heidi aren't friends anymore, and haven't been for years now..but heidi still feels the need to talk about it and then when heidi isn't around her boyfriend or his friends go up to lauren & try to be "nice" and then go back to heidi & they laugh about things like "i said whats up & she ignored me-OMG HAHA" and lauren has moved on/not caring/definitely over it?????

haha

hahahaha

Mon, 21 Jan 2008 05:37:58 GMT

so i've decided to give myself until june to find a job. the job i have now is easy, but it sucks. i'm not trying to work a desk job making calls & stuffing envelopes forever. back in november i sent my resume & letter asking about internships to 25+ event/pr firms (pretty much every baltimore pr firm listed on google) and i heard back from one! it's insane. i have a friend who graduated 2 years ago who had done the same thing & heard back from 1 place too. with a pr degree, she finally found a job last month...the job pays shit, was through a staffing agency & it's hardly considered a pr job. baltimore sucks when it comes to this & every job listed on craigslist is a scam. it's sad to see places like nyc with pages of legit jobs that sound 100x's better than the stuff i'm begging for an interview here. that's it..made up my mind. i'm not going to spend my life emailing my resume. i'm leaving baltimore if no jobs happen in 6 months.

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 04:55:39 GMT

i am bad at writing in here (again).. on xmas i got a camera that works finally so i've been documenting '08 here
http://www.flickr.com/photos/amelia123/
add me as a friend..or whatever it is people do on there. i don't have any.

ive been really searching for jobs ill probably never get, but im applying to them anyway. its time for a better job... although my current one is beyond easy, i get so bored & i don't really need to spend more months/years at a pointless job.

i keep seeing movies, at this point it's stuff i dont even really care to see (did i reeeally need to see 'there will be blood' today?) although i'd like to go see 4 months, 3 weeks & 2 days. i'm sticking to my 3 nights a week or less of going out.. i went to nyc with jessie sue & risa which was so much fun, im going back feb 3 to brooklyn with anna & risa... was nice to go to a bar & not be smokey, since all of my clothes make me feel sick in the morning after going out

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 19:15:42 GMT

i am extremely bored at work until the office closes early.. no one is here and i've been on the internet all day.

-ottobar on tues, afterparty at the nerve center, guy telling me he loved my hair, katrina & risa dancing, not getting home until 6am
-going to work at 8am and about to die, napped, drove to philly with katrina, drove around forever, bar we went to was lame, my friend in brooklyn suggested we come there...
-left at midnight, got to brooklyn at 2am.. went to a guy's house, went to a bar for beer & pizza, went back to my friend's where we got him in trouble with his roommate from laughing too much at soulja boy cartoons on youtube
-got extreeemely lost coming home, got back late, went to the copycat, then doughery's on a double date with nolan denny & anna
-friday..went to club charles with katrina & candice, then to a guy's house where i shocked everyone with my tv knowledge

oops must go ill finish this later

things i've been into recently:

Fri, 14 Dec 2007 05:21:12 GMT

-aquatic life. after watching a bunch of shows, i went to the aquarium last weekend & was very unimpressed by the 1 "large" octopus they have. he looked like ground beef & didn't move.
-staying in drinking wine & watching movies with nolan (last week it was blind beast-- a 60's japanese movie where a girl gets captured by a blind man & becomes so wrapped up in their s&m relationship she's begging him to cut her limbs off at the end)
-going to job interviews & getting the job. just got an internship to help with marketing/promo of a movie.-looking for a very sparkly dress & drinking sophia champagne for new years
-xm radio at work
-reading about this forest in japan. every year people go there to commit suicide & there are signs everywhere saying "DONT DO IT" very spoooky.
-large bows in my hair, still
-driving around with no brake lights..thanks, beetle.
-happy hour after work with cj
-FINALLY getting out of debt (yaaay)

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 22:41:32 GMT

im babysitting until my sister gets back from dinner, it's been awhile since i've written in here..

ive been to a ton of movies (no country for old men-scary, the mist-depressing, lars & the real girl-cute!).. 2 weeks ago? went to allentown... my birthday was last week & i had an insane party, there were tons of people and i felt like poop on thanksgiving and spent all day reading tabloids, then went out again. friday i went to nolans show and a guy i haven't seen since high school came, which was fun & weird. i cant remember what else i did.. tuesday i went out for like 2hrs, wednesday i had lunch with risa and spent all night watching gossip girl & project runway. yesterday i went to atomic books, whole foods & the true vine with nolan. i wanted to go to the bma to see something but it was closed when we got there. i've been watching a lot of shows about deep sea squids & wearing huge bows. tonight is m.i.a. at sonar and i need to shower soon, that's all for now.

list

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 20:28:08 GMT

bday & xmas are coming up and since i sit online doing nothing all day looking random things up, i need a place to keep an ongoing list of things i want.

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 20:07:15 GMT

uggh i feel like such shit i need a nap. anyway..last weekend i went to brooklyn with nolan. walked around, sat at this bar with an open front & people watched, went to the show. i was waiting in line for the bathroom & this old british man starts talking to me-turns out he's in the band nolan wanted to see so he was talking to him all night. after the show nolan was talking to thurston moore & people were being such nerds about approaching him. i made friends with some guy who we went to his friends bday party at some bar afterwards. then we left & went to this other bar and danced to early 90's r&b.

last week went out tuesday. after ottobar someone invited mel to a bar so we go-bizarro russian bar where like 50yo men are making out with teenagers & russian karaoke. we tried to leave & guys were standing outside saying no one was allowed to leave at like 330am! ..thurs went to brewers art with anna & katrina & ran into tommy. his friend from new orleans kept freaking out everytime i said katrina. fri went to dinner & move with nolan and saw the darjeeling limited. saturday went to a party at the nerve center & katrina left me to make out the entire time (ew/haha). last night i went to philly to see justice which was insaaane. it was sold out & so fun and crowded. not fun when some guy was trying to dance like high school style on my ass. we left for the afterparty at some other bar & i was waiting to get a drink & katrina tells me a guy from justice is in front of me..sooo i start talking to him (in my bad french) the entire night & he gives me drink tickets. they try to get us to go to another bar & then drive them to their hotel room to hang out but katrina had a flight at 7am so we left. so ridiculous

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 22:02:36 GMT

sooo..last monday was dana's birthday at the talking head & nolan/denny/chris were playing all nirvana covers.. went to the copycat, then there for the first time it reopened, looks the same way. i spent the entire show with mel & risa, and during one set this girl ate glass!! it was insane. and dana ended up breaking her hand..ridiculous. came home, didnt go to work tuesday.. worked wed, went to towson with katrina & it was uneventful. thurs, went to work & we went to the bakery on chestnut-i had such a good cupcake. then went to rocket to venus for happy hour w/evan. he lives a block away from charm city cakes & i saw duff outside! then i saw a homeless man try to break into a hummer. friday... went to katrinas house with nolan & we watched scrubs & played guitar hero. my band was doing so well, but the next day my fingers hurt. went to hcon at ccas, watched hex screw then went to club charles with jason, denny & brad and waited for nolan to play. went to the copycat afterwards..thennn work mon/-wed. ottobar tuesday was lame. leaving saturday to go with nolan for a noise show in brooklyn & whatever else. im hoping it wont be too cold.

waste of a dress

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 16:15:59 GMT

on saturday i went to possibly the worst wedding ever. katrina & i hadn't seen jen in about 3-4 years & knew she turned very strict religious.. so we drive about 2hrs, and the actual wedding wasn't so bad (except when the people behind us wouldn't stop talking. when they were saying their vows the man behind me actually said "hmm.. i need to renew my driver's license..") but the reception was bad. we were sitting with the only other person who came from high school & she has a case of the "im stuck in high school"'s. she kept making it known she was so hungover from malibu & started talking about things like when we got lost going to warped tour about 8yrs ago. boombox playing phil collins, paper plates, people in jeans, rubbery noodles, only apple juice & water to drink, no dancing, no toasting, no cutting the cake, no fun.

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 17:00:54 GMT

i was supposed to be updating this thing.. i have no excuse since i sit online at work all day listening to xm radio..also can i just say how much better this job is than my other one? my old boss called me a few weeks ago & i hung up on her. not going back there. i’m trying to remember what i've been doing with my life...uhhhh last weekend i went to nolan’s show in dc with denny & evan.. spent the next day at hampdenfest drinking resurrections & shopping.. then went to the copycat, one world (mmm fake cheesesteak) then to the ottobar because denny got us in for free to the double dagger show. monday & tuesday i worked... tues night I went to girl talk with katrina & denny which was super fun but i got way too drunk.. woke up & took katrina out to papermoon for brunch cos i felt bad.. & felt like i was going to die all day wednesday. worked thursday.. went to brewers art & club charles on thursday night with katrina & evan.. we went back to evans house where this guy was like "you remind me so much of kelly from the office. not just the way you look, but she's really into celeb gossip, and you know.. kinda ditzy" i dont even know this guy but he's like the 4th person to tell me that recently. although i do like celeb gossip.... anyway, work friday. friday night went to the nerve center to see smart growth/art show.. then to this total mica freshman party with like 300 ridiculous people. this guy we came with started dancing with a vacuum in the living room & i could not stop laughing when people were throwing balls of paper for him to vacuum up. so stupid/funny. saturday nolan & I went to the flea market, thrift store & some record stores. thennn one world again..after we went to the copycat until nick’s show at the depot.. that place always has the strangest people. after that went to some party that was lame. sunday i went to to towson with katrina while she went to an interview i bought these awesome skinny jeans. came home & watched all the weeds episodes ive missed this season. ok my lunch break should've been over 15mins ago.

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 02:17:36 GMT

im trying to think of whats happened in the last month or so..
my car is still gone.. totaled now but insurance co. is being verrry slow about everything so im still driving rental van-car around. i looked at a car today but not sure if ill get it.

summer is over, but im not going to school this semester so it doesnt really matter. i realized i have about 10 classes and id be done. i quit my job & had another lined up already that is so much better. although only 3 days/week, its so weird to be working somewhere where people dont scream at eachother, or explain things to me like im disabled, or dont talk about nickelback & nascar or i dont have to pay over $140 for parking my car. my old boss called me last week & i hung up on her. why the hell would i want to go back there? although i did leave a copy of my true crime book about evil twins i got from goodwill that id like to have back.

im trying to remember what i did these past few weekends.. my high school reunion was last week..2 weeks ago? instead of going katrina & i went to the floristree space for the new flesh show and saw a guy strip & was so sweaty. we then went to the reunion "afterparty" which is so depressing it makes me realize why i see those people about 2 times a year (and why i have to drink so much around them). last week i went to some golden west show where it was cold outside, then to the nerve center. nolan had a show at the bank on sunday & i ended up falling asleep & leaving my phone. what an exciting life.

oh yeah last tuesday my sister had her baby. he's not supposed to be out until this friday.. hes really small & babies are really boring because he doesnt do anything but sleep.
