| (S)he Had Alot of Nothing to Say...Actually i still do.
First being, what the fuck did they do to xanga. The layout ha me all bug-a-boo. Seriously, someone please kill it or murder it, whatever-just get the job done! I will repay you in invisible ponies.
Secondly there is TOO ( especially since i've neglected this page for so long, i'm sorry my babies!) much to write now, but i will bullet key topics:
-Comedians i've seen/met/and talked to/shared a sexy glance or so
-MY comedic career. WHA?! Yep, 'tis true. That is on the rise, by accident.
-What is going on with school and where i'll be when i graduate- possibly canada, I don't know.
- Apparently everyone is getting married. I KNEW something was wrong with my dating style. The key is date someone for 3 hours and say fuck it, let's get hitched. Well i'd like to speak or marriage in relationship to my friends and myself, and my general relationship status- yeah that's a fun one, maybe i'll skip that.
-Getting back in to Photography:making some monies whilst doing so.
-Getting back into the music scene, as in playing.
-...and other things i'm sure
( but like i said , this is the precursor to an entry/entries to come.)
OH, and i got a sweet sexy-ass hair cut. my hair is straight now, sorry gay hair, try finger fuckin' someone else's locks. Seriously, it's low maintenance, high sexitude, AND fun to pet. It's like a new toy or something.

| I LOVE The COC!I've been meeting comedians by the fistful this past year and last week i went to see the comedians of comedy. A month ago i saw, meet, and talked to Jim Gaffigan for the second time ( now he and i are pretty decent myspace/facebook buddies- I'm in his top myspace friends, which is sa-weet!). Later this month i will be seeing Michael Ian Black And Michael Showalter! I love these men! I have on separate occasions written them highly inappropriate comments and messages ( back when Black had a myspace, may it rest in peace) and got some pretty wonderful responses. I really do hope they have a meet and greet. These cats have been on the State, were two-thirds of Stella, and are just plain awesome! Now that's a Michael sandwich I'd like to be a part of! And if you don't think the same you are obviously retarded or denying your self of a love so comically orgasmic you can't handle the thought.
ANYWAY, This was the second time I've seen the comedians of comedy. It was good, not as great as last time. The performances were great, but i was horribly awkward at the meet and greet when it can time to meet Eugene Mirman. I love "the Eugh", but i when i met him he just stared at me blankly. I spent most of my time chatting with Patton and Brian, hence the picture and when i got to Mirman , it was like a mexican stand-off and i buckled, uttering a few extremely awkward statements. He must have used his Russian mind powers on me. Needless to say i didn't get a pic, with him and Maria, but i had spent more than my share in the line, and if i tried to get another picture, I'm fairly certain the security guard would have shot me, or at least poked me real hard with their walkie-talkies.
I wish i could have been able to see the NY show, because apparently the special guest their was DAVID CROSS! But in Philly, we got some douchey local comic that people basically booed off stage. Poor Patton had to pad the guy's act.
But, should they come back around next year i am so ready for round 3. If "the Eugh" is there maybe I'll bring a Mexican?

| Ahaha haha... Don't ask me, I'm just a girl!
Holy shit kids, this is big news. I know it's quite goofy, and something i've NEVER seen myself doing, but it is a great opportunity to meet people, do new things, make a good deal of money to pay back loans and so on.
Oh, i guess you might want to know what this is all about, WELL: i kinda got a sweet job for weekends. Actually, if they like me this weekend, hopefully it'll be an ongoing thing.
I will be a "trophy girl" for a motocross team run by fox racing.
Basically all i do is wear what they tell me (nice stuff they arrange for me), they doll me up, and i
hand out trophies. Then, for an extra $1000, i can model the clothes as
well. AND i get to keep all the clothes and shoes they have me wear,
which is about $800 worth. Mind you, this is essentially for a days worth of "work", all of which is done on the weekend, so i don't miss any classes. It's NUTS!
And that's not even the half of
it. It only gets better if they want me to keep doing it each weekend. For example, once it gets colder and they race in CA or Florida, I get a first class plane ticket, free rental car ( anything i want to drive
for the weekend), swanky hotel, free room service, and between
$500-1500 as petty cash just to spend so i don't get bored. And that's
on top of the $1700 i get for presenting, the $1000 for modeling, and
the $800 worth of clothes, undies, and shoes. That would be AMAZING,
but if nothing else i have this weekend, which will be a profitable
and interesting experience.
But for such fortune being thrust upon me, not too much unlike a crack addled rapist in a back alley aching to get at that sweet sorority chick who stumbled by drunkenly after her "boi" Chad left her for a drunker chick, i am going to give my best friend a grand birthday gift. He does so much for me and it's the least i can do. I'm signing my old car over to him. It values about $2500, so he can sell it or keep it. It's not a bad vehicle, i just happened to have another bit of luck over the summer and bought an $8000 Mitsubishi Galant ( black, w/ 73k, cd player, the works) for $4495 because the dealership accidentally put it in the newspaper for $4495 and had to value that. His car is practically dead, so he might just want to drive it.
EDIT: The race was reschedualed for next weekend, so i will not get to experince the crazy world of trophy girling until then. HOWEVER, for some reason i still get paid some money for this weekend for doing absolutely nothing. This is partly due to the very sweet boy Rob who got me this gig.

| That's right crime stick, they were a couple of ding-a lings!
A "short" update. I think it's due, I'll write a real one once things slow down. Let me tell you life has been crazy. I shouldn't even be wasting time on here right now, there is much to do. what with all the dead hookers to bury and such. they don't just bury themselves...yet. * invention convention!...in my brain! woo.* ( that made total sense, don't dispute me!)
*WARNING: not much humor involved, unless you count how much of a joke my life is...ah...aha...aaaa,
so read no further if you have come for laughs. Not this time friends. Not this time.*
Well, i just wanted to update on the final happening so sir Foti, shatterer of thy heart.
OK, it goes like this. I was told back in early january that he'd be calling me. He told his friend he'd being doing this and she passes along the news. I was unexplainably happy? maybe just relieved? I'm not sure. Maybe it made me feel like he did care a little and i wasn't a big nothing in his life. Perhaps he wasn't a heartless bastard. WRONG! I called HIM on what would have been 2 years of knowing each other ( 2am Jan. 29th...i'll never forget that day), no answer, so i left a message wishing him well , saying i heard he'd call, ya know, nothing too grand.
It is now August 27th...no call. No e-mail, text, postcard...nothing.
I'm pretty sure we all could have sen that coming, but what i found out i believe in april was truly the final twist of the blade.
As i mentioned in posts before he had told me he was leaving for Ireland August 1st, i talked to him the night before, be told me to write him an e-mail so he could read it before he got on the plain. All that lovely stuff. And yeah, that was all bullshit, i found out MUCH later that he completely lied for some unfathomable reason and left at the end of August.
If that wasn't bad enough, here's the kicker: by accident one day i was on facebook. I noticed my buddy had written on the wall of a chick i had met at MICA i thought was nice ( they tell you when anyone does anything if you are friends on that dealie, if you are unfamiliar) So i went to her page to see what was up, maybe friend her. What do i see but a pic of Ryan and some girl. OK, no big deal, he has tons of chick friends, but i remembered her too, so CLICK i was on her page. The FIRST thing i see is a photo album sporting a pic of her and Ryan dated mid August of last year ( when he was supposed to be in Ireland). That's right kids he was fucking in Baltimore right near my birthday! I don't live far from MD, since moving to DE. I was an hour plus away when i though i was countries away.
Things that came to mind:
1. How did he afford to get there when i had to pay $250 for his plane ticket and he had "no money" because he was saving it for Ireland?
2. Where did he find the time? He only saw me for about a day and half ( yep $250 for a day and a half) because he couldn't miss work," his parents wouldn't let him." How long was he there? I have no idea.
3. Was he playing this chick too? Was he telling her he loved her while i was an hour away pining after him, wishing i could talk to him. Thinking how great it would be if somehow he could get to phone to wish me a happy birthday.
Well, to try to avoid getting involved in any of it, i resisted contacting this chick, who i am certain is or was his girlfriend ( oh and he threw her a surprise b-day party as well, i guess of the 3 i was least liked?).
But sometimes i just can't resist, so maybe weeks after i saw the pics and realized all the bonus shit he lied to me about, that again, i found out by fucking accident. i really wonder what things would be like if i didn't have facebook. Would he have ever told me anything? who knows. Anyway, i guess i snapped and ended up writing to this chick just to see what was up, I had no intention of wrecking anything for them or her i was just curious and i had to write her something. I expected either an angry/stupid response, possibly ones filled with lies he fed her OR no response at all. No, no, this bitch blocked me. WTF? OK, this girl always looked at me weird , that's fine. i had the feeling she wasn't fond of me or something, but not because of him. She had a boyfriend while i was at MICA. Chicks don't usually like me, so fine. But wow. I will never know what went through her mind, If she mentioned anything to him, if it was he who told her to block me, or if she's just a cunt, like most chicks.
Like much of the mystery that is Ryan Foti, i suppose i will never know.
This is the last of updates about him, hopefully. I don't think i could handle finding out MORE stuff like that. It really does hurt. And I guess because i loved him So much the pain will always reside in some corner of my heart. I have nightmares about him from time to time. They truly are haunting. And a part of my almost reaches for the phone to call, on the off chance he might be sleeping and pick it up by accident, but i manage to roll over and hope the thoughts of him will melt away. Luckily they do, but always manage to rain down upon me when i least expect it.

| From Myspace to This Place...**This was originally on myspace, but no one was reading it. So i thought i'd give it a proper home, where i KNOW no one will be reading it**
An Open Letter To Zach Galifianakis:
I
expected a great show.
Zach Galifianakis at the TLA (with word of him having Jeffrey Lewis as a
surprise guest in previous shows)...how could that go wrong?
Well...
It all started when I got pushed in the back by some usher telling me "If
you take one more picture, you'll be kicked out of here. There's NO photography
at the TLA." (Mind you, I had no flash on AND was bothering NO ONE but
apparently him) *joke's on them: I got like15 blurred pics of a show I wish I'd
never attended...so take THAT!*
FIRST OF ALL, that's bullshit, on at least 2 levels.
1. I saw the COC (sans Zach, he was ALREADY too good to be bunched in
with them anymore*at least when it comes to small shows*) at the same venue
(one with NO seating, but for Mr. Galifianakis they pulled out all stops and
put some lame siamese chairs down-I guess so you can't steal them? Well FUCK
that. If you're ambitious enough, you'll take a whole row.) At the COC show,
not only did I walk in with a camera, I even accidentally forgot to take
my flash off and blinded Patton, being right up front but he said
nothing, kept going like a trooper, AND was super nice to me after the
show at the MEET AND GREET.
2. However there was, but I did not see the tiny sign that read:
"Zach Galifianakis does not allow any photography at his shows" until
I was leaving (I got there a little late, was pushed in there like cattle, and
missed a bit of his no-name opening act, seriously, I didn't know his
name! And it was never uttered again, assuming it was announced at the beginning.)
SO twas Mr. Galifianakis that would not allow his precious image to be
taken...it is clear his "comedic gold" will be stolen via blurred, no
flash image. It's a good thing it was too dark to get pictures of him as
he added 15 minutes of filler to his already too short act by use of spine
tingling banter with the audience, otherwise I fear I would be imprisoned
for stealing funny. It's not like I can REMEMBER "jokes" or anything.
Bringing me to my NEXT problem with this show.
Zach did not have a meet and greet. I don't know why this was so.
Many comedians now a days do the meet and greet, oh, gee I don't know, to be
nice, and meet the audience that paid to see them do something they could have
watched on TV for free. Not to mention he was in the comedians of comedy, who
were known for their meet and greets and small low priced shows. HOWEVER, his
show cost more than the COC, for only 45 minutes of "funny" AND
his damn poster was $5 more, which I don't even want. (Stupid getting things at
he beginning of the show...I was late, but I thought I should be prepared for
the signing and meeting and what not. *sigh*)
FINALLY, as a coup de gras, the "bouncers" (mind you, this is a tiny
place, with no need for that, especially since it wasn't even a band) pushed
everyone out as soon as the act ended, and yelled at my friend and I who were
just sitting in awe of the lack of, well, everything AND waiting for the herd
to clear so we could get out with ease. They then proceeded to stand in front
of the doors (after annoying stragglers went to use the bathroom and buy more
crap) to make sure someone didn't accidentally see Mr. Galifianakis for an
extra second. I assume that would warrant at least a dollar or two.
In Conclusion:
-It was $25 + ticketmaster "convenience" (per person){and you needed
to order tix, because it sold out right away} + $10 for a poster I hate and
would murder if I had the power to do so.
-If it was someone else, who I was NOT under the impression you got to meet (I
know people who have gone to his last tour {less than a year ago} and met him
at a meet and greet/ he used to be in COC and you get to meet ALL of them) I
would not have been AS pissed. * BUT, in all honesty, I don't pay to go to big
venues or shell out loads of money to see bands anymore (same would go for a
comedian) BECAUSE it is expensive and not intimate at all. YET, a band of high
caliber IS a different story, they usually have at least one good opening act
and play for a numerous hours should it be expensive. Even they try to
give you some bang for your buck. See: Radiohead *
** I also paid less, had a camera (with flash on the whole time
whilst taking many a picture), was right up front ( no seats in the way) to see
Gary Numan this summer AT , you guessed it: the TLA. The kicker: it was
a little hard to find him after the show, but Gary stood by a dumpster,
for over an hour, just to talk, sign, take pictures with, and hug anyone
that was a fan and wanted to wait in line. Now that is a stand up act if
i ever saw one.**
-But, as it stands: WORST comedy show ever. He has become the
antithesis of the COC and a prima donna.
**However, let us not forget he was in Out Cold and had a VH1 Late night show
for about 5 seconds (which I sadly watched ever single one of back in the day,
because I DID love him). **
So clearly, he's a superstar and can't be bothered.
Fuck you very much Zach Galifianakis,
A once loyal fan | | |
