Do you ever grow out of drunk texting?

My face should be on this graphic

So ever since I entered college I have been a notorious drunk texter. All girls do it.... it's like the alcohol makes us feel like we can say/ask what we actually want to. Now I am a pretty much an open book when it come to being honest and saying what I want to. However there is something about having 2 glasses of wine that happens to make your lips and fingers a bit looser! Now I am young (relatively) so I feel like this is a somewhat typical behavior but what if I was older... I have a feeling I may be dating when im 50- do you think I will still send drunk texts (more likely technology will be so advanced it may be like a drunk voice/image simulation message) or will I grow out of doing this? It always seems like a really good idea at the time and then the next morning like a really stupid one. Why do girls put themselves through these self destructive mind games? Is it lack of confidence?The need to feel loved/desired/wanted? Out of boredom? The desire to feel connected to someone even for a minute? I tried to stop myself by removing all the numbers of boys I ever fancied out of my phone the mistake being keeping them in a place where if sober enough I can find them! It's a hard habit to break....

Why Women Fancy Foreign Men

Who do you fancy?

So today my morning was the definition of shitty. It was gray and cold outside, I couldn't bring myself to cook a lunch, I realized as I turned into our parking garage it was Saturday...I have to park at the hospital and walk a block (now I'll be late), then the garage is under construction only 3 levels of parking I knicked a car trying to get in the VERY TIGHT SPOT! got in one had to exit via the passenger side and suck in, at work I broke a nail. Not the best start to a day THEN A HOT AUSTRALIAN walks into my work asking for my manager. Turns out he is going to be in my area all day testing this watch line for the store! I diligently helped him set up showed him around then went about working coming to chat every so often but not too much. I was asked to do overtime and once the store was dead Luke and I had plenty of time to chat. It was exactly what I needed a little free spirited flirting. Now in the morning he had eaten something and had this crazy allergic reaction so when we first met he looked more like an ogre but I still thought he was hott. Why you ask?? The accent! Ever since my first trip to Ireland I have been super attracted to accents. I literally swoon and am instantly enchanted. I swear if there is a foreign guy within 500 yards of me I will pick them out and be enamored or smitten to say the least.... it may be my one true weakness. He surfs which is hot and totally on my bucket list! I wonder if you were to take the same man and just have him interact with various women but he used different accents each time what the result would be. Do you think some women would find him sexier depending on the accent...I think the answer is YES! For instance I love the way French sounds (the ultimate romance language) but my sister thinks it sounds like hawking a lougie. I would bet money that depending on where the female was from they would find any other accent more sexy then their "home accent." Luke will be going back to NYC in a few weeks but he has my number so we'll see if I get any surfs lessons before he goes. One things for sure I do fancy a foreign accent :)
Here is a list of what I deem to be the sexiest accents:

Yummy!

1. Irish
2. British
3. Australian
4. French
5. German

Are you Jesus?

So after PV and Kentuckie left for the night I settled in and before I drifted off to sleep I got a text saying they were with the owners of the club getting everything paid for like queens but still no sight of "Jesus." In the early hours of the morning I am woken to Thor barking like a mad dog. I was sooo afraid I thought 'Is there a stranger in the house- is someone here to kill me??' In my dazy haze half awake blind state I walk out of my room and see this crazy black haired creature sitting on my couch I said "Are you Jesus?" the creature remarks "hey." I preceded to calm down Thor and went back to sleep. I found out the next morning I did not meet Jesus....maybe another night.

Jesus is the hard cock

So it's a fact that when girls are talking about guys their girlfriends haven't met they create nicknames. It's difficult when you haven't met someone to remember stories/characteristics/ their name so we often invent nicknames, like a code when girl talk is in order. This also works great when your in public because no one but the parties involved know who is being discussed. So my room mate loves rocker androgynous type of guys and I have not met any of them. SO she is always telling me these stories about these random people so today we were trying to differentiate between two guys one who looks like Dave Navarro and the other who has the middle name of Jesus and this is how the conversation went:
SC: His name is Jesus?!?!?
PV:  His middle name is Jesus
SC: Jesus is Dave Navarro
PV: No Bora is Dave Navarro
SC: Oh...and Jesus is the hard cock?
PV: Yes!
Then we were laughing sooo much we couldn't even talk. The thing is she met this rockstar who was claiming he was "classic LA" not "New LA" meaning he's a classy gentleman. Sure being playful and silly is all part of the game but if your classy you do not say this after just meeting someone....

Actual Proof

we have been laughing for ages. Here people say one thing and do the opposite I guess that's everywhere really but it is especially prominent in LA. Be classy at least take a girl on a date first! Needless to say the rommie has a brilliant payback plan! As the infamous Ron Burgundy says "Stay Classy!" :) ~S~

The "Aspirationals"

         If you know me you know that I love meeting new people, studying them, and trying to figure out what makes them tick. One thing I have learned since entering the corporate retail world is the idea of the aspirationals. These "aspirational" people don't have "it" but they certainly aspire to. For instance if you can't afford $300 sunglasses you probably should not be shopping in a high end store (the logical assumption). However we will market to these people and they will come in and buy said sunglasses and the either A- not pay a bill/ buy necessary items or B- buy them wear them realize 300 is there car payment and return them a few days later. I see this EVERYDAY!!!! I think why??? why do you do this to yourself?!?!? I don't even go in stores right now because I know I can't afford it (logical reasoning) not to mention I develop strong emotional attachments to things like "I NEED that bag"- really I don't and neither do the "aspirationals." Then again don't I want to have those nice things, luxury handbags and high end fashion? Sure... but at what price when is too much- too much?
     I then expanded this thought to LA in general there are the people in this town (why do we call it the town... it is a CITY???) who have "made it" and of course everyone else who is trying. This whole town is full of "Aspirationals" literally everyone I meet is aspiring to something bigger then what they are. Not that it is a bad thing because it is what makes people strive and have goals. Of course I am an aspiring film actress and I aspire to be happy- aspiration is what makes us work for our future but I really don't think we need to aspire to shop at high end stores.

Finding Love in LaLaLand ?!?!

Je vois la vie en rose

As Nora Wilder says in the movie Broken English "I think I must be doing something horribly wrong, but I don't know what it is." Of course she is talking about men and I think every girl (probably every guy too) thinks this at some point in their life. Another quote that also keeps coming to mind is "Je vois la vie en rose" or "I see life in rosy hues" a famous French song sang by Edith Piaf about how being so completely in loves changes the way you see the world.  Sure this week I was hit on but does the guy at the dmv and the one opening my new bank account really equate to romance??? I think not. There is something about dating in LA that is even more daunting then dating back home. Mostly because everyone here is very much self involved and has this "I'll do something for you only if you do something for me" kind of mindset. I met one guy,Alex, in line for a show taping of Craig Fergueson. I was mostly interested because he had this crazy beard and it reminded me of someone I missed. However after a few witty banterish texts it was clear he had no intentions of dating me -subtext saying- 'I only want sex.' I struck up a conversation at this private bar party with a local guy named Sean, who seemed great. He said "Your really interesting and great but I have to get back to my friends."A half hour later, and one awkward interaction later, I was talking to his "friend" a 6'0" model who literally said "Do you think I should sleep with him? He's short" I replied "Well he is nice..." This town defies all logic when it comes to anything "normal" so why would dating be different? Before I had only one "rule" about dating...DON'T DATE ACTORS so right there that cancels out almost everybody in this city! I briefly considered amending this rule after meeting Michael Welch from twilight because he was helping the children with no drinking water and had an adorable smile and he graciously put up with my drunken flirting for 20 minutes... then again you can never trust an actor (hence why the rule was instated). I now have a second rule don't fall in love with people who don't love you... it sounds easier then it is- really a lot can be learned from the book He's Just Not That Into You. Also in Broken English a random guy Nora meets at a bar says, "Most people are together just so they are not alone. But some people want magic. I think you are one of those people." Personally I have never been one to settle and certainly I do love a little magic and therefore that line has stuck with me over the past 2 days. So as I sit here listening to the falling rain (probably one of the most romantic sounds) and typing I am left to wonder about if and when love will ever come my way. Believe me I am a strong independent lady so if it doesn't I have another life plan of being a legendary film actress who lives her life with no commitments and I think that would suit me just as well ~S~

Why Women Go Mad for Mad Men

The sexiness that is Jon Hamm as Don Draper!

So I just finished watching the first season of Mad Men- I know... I know... Season 5 airs tonight. To be perfectly honest I am more intrigued by the fashion and allure of 60's more then the plot but I have spent most of the weekend watching it so it I must enjoy it. However what is better then all that is the pure sexiness of Don Draper and the other characters. I find myself watching how the ladies hold their cigarettes and the way they move their eyes and I am captivated. Sure we no longer have finishing schools (unless you're Kate Middleton) but there is a certain grace that is hard to come by nowadays. I use to take the bus to UMASS everyday and after a while you start to see the same faces. One morning a guy who I had seen several times before got on wearing a fedora... I nearly died. Before I thought he was cute but now in that hat I wanted to talk to him find out who he was and ask him why he was wearing a fedora. A few days later I saw him talking to a theater classmate but when I asked him who he was Pat had no idea who I was talking about. Fast forward 2 years- I am at a Halloween party of a friend who lives in a completely different town. Towards the end of the night in walks the guy(he has a name but I am not disclosing) I was stunned... how often does a stranger who you have seen before walk into your life so randomly? Of course I confessed my whole story and we began talking about different eras and how they have different appeals. He was shocked that I was not a Mad Men fan and I said one day I would give it a try (at the time the show seemed extremely sexist and the feminist in me was rebelling). I went on to say how sexy I thought regency era gentlemen are. I find top hats and cravats to literally be mind meltingly appealing. I do have to say as a fan of Mad Men now (and fedoras) the guy definitely gets a point for good taste. I began to think why are women attracted to accessories? Every morning I have to walk through the men's department to get to my floor and sometimes there are the most devastatingly handsome men shopping. Of course the store is marked as fashion for the "essential look" that makes you better then the rest. But I walk past the ties, the hats, the cuff links and I swoon... and they are not even on men!
