Modern Day Celebrities...

...make me sick.

I wonder if any of my avid (HA!) readers have heard of Nikki Blonsky? If you haven't heard of her, you've definitely seen her - if you've seen the 2007 remake of the 1988 hit movie "Hairspray", that is. She was introduced into the glamorous world of Hollywood in the movie and I have to admit, she was a pretty good actress. I had high hopes for her (especially since she got to kiss Zac Efron...hehe). Unfortunately, she seems to be a big fan of actresses who destroy their careers (i.e. Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, ...).

A few months ago, there were reports of her getting into a fight with Bianca Golden (America's Next Top Model, another mindless show made up to waste our time) in an airport over a place to sit. I don't know about you, but that's just a bit below the bar for me...Nikki was saving seats in the waiting room for her rather large family and Bianca wanted to have them, so she an Nikki got into a fight an apparently, Nikki's father got in on it as well. He got sent to jail and Nikki got off.

Is it just me or are the young actresses taking a turn for the worse? Is the position cursed after your first A-list movie gets big? Is it some psychological trick of the mind that, if you're famous and everyone loves you, you can do no wrong? Do these people seriously think that they can just get away with anything they do? Or is it all just a big publicity stunt? "I'm not famous enough, I have to go do drugs and drink myself into a coma, so I can be like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan and be all over the news!"

It's stupid, juvenile and utterly annoying to see these people in news reports, day after day, bitching and moaning about how people are so fucking unfair to them. Don't they even remember what it was like when they weren't famous? Was it easier? Did they do stupid things? I don't think so. And you know why they didn't do them? Because they didn't want to be on the news. They didn't want people to laugh at them and their mistakes! But apparently, once you cross the line from normal person to diva, all morals go to hell and you have to make a complete fool out of yourself to get attention from the media. And it's a vicious circle because once you have the attention, you have to fight to keep the attention and you do more stupid things until your whole entire life is just on big huge screw up after the other.

But then you make an amazing recovery and you're the happy-go-lucky starlet again and everyone loves you and it's all just purified Hollywood joy and blah, blah, blah. Give me a break.

See? I can post! I haven't lost it!

The time has come

for another lovely update with yours truly! Ok, so this post has no real thought behind it or anything, I was just reading other blogs and got the urge (you know, the URGE, baby...-rawr-). So, the epic hair saga continues this Friday at 5pm when I go to a friend's house who'll cut it. I really wanna let my hair grow out (like, all the way), but it just looks like crap right now, so I need a cut that'll grow out nicely, you know? I'm thinking of going back to the concave look (for those of you who are confused: Short in the back, gradually growing longer toward the face) because it worked out pretty nicely last time I had it done. Of course, the last time I went to a professional and this time I'll be in someone's kitchen, but the kitchen-lady has done good work in the past as well. x) In other news, I might not have told you about the whole teachers-going-into-retirement-scheme that happened back in December 09. Well, to put it lightly: The summer before the 200...

Closing in on me

You know, I try to suppress my feelings. I see people expressing them every day and all I can see is how they just make trouble. I don't like trouble. So I keep my feelings to myself. It's sort of my defense mechanism. If I tell myself I don't care enough, I start to really not care. But lately things have been piling up. I'll be watching a show and see something like poptarts and realize that I miss them, because there's no such thing as poptarts in Austria. Or Oreos. They do have Oreos in Austria, but not how I remember them. They have the snack packs, but I want the big boxes with the rolls of Oreos in them, just because that's how I used to eat them. I miss milk. It seems weird. There's milk everywhere, right? But it doesn't taste the same. I just like it more in America. In America, I could drink glass after glass of milk, but here, I can't even take one sip without cringing. They have light and they have normal milk, and there are no gallons, j...

Family

I don't know why, but I was reading through some random woman's blog just now and she was talking about how her family gets together for the kids' birthdays and all of a sudden, it just struck me how much I miss that about my family. My family, for those of you who don't know, is pretty big. We've got the grandparents. They had four kids. Oldest and only son had five children, plus his wife. My mom is second oldest, has two children and her husband. Her younger sister has a husband and four children, and the youngest has four children and a husband, also. Not to mention the boyfriends and husbands of the grandkids. Or their children. But back to the point. We're a fairly large family and even though we're so big, we all try and get together once a month to celebrate the birthdays together. I miss that, a lot. I guess the best song for this blog entry would be 'Big Yellow Taxi' by Counting Crows. You don't know what you got till it's gone. I...
