"sugar, i think you need me."

HEY! before you even start reading, go listen to this great Blood Feathers song called, 'The Same Mad Part.' ooooo LOVE that song. you will too. and that's a blog promise.

i feel like i haven't updated in a while. let me see what i have to say...

OK.

can i just tell you how much fun it is having all these new Crash Queen friends?! IT'S THE BEST! and i was thinking about the night i BECAME a Crash Queen. i was at work. from like, 3pm until almost 2am. and i was sitting up with a resident until she fell asleep. and i was online looking for Crash Kings hottness.

and through Twitter, discovered this amazing BRAND NEW Facebook group called Crash Queens. and it totally made my night :)

aaahhhh yes.

anyways, i feel like i have a million new friends. i think my new friend count is up to:

NEW CRASH KINGS FRIENDS = 7

i think! yeah, i think it's 7.

ANYWAYS -

MONDAY NIGHT, if you remember, CRASH KINGS WERE ON JIMMY KIMMEL. in their first ever television appearance!!!!

OH BOY. it was madness. TWITTER MADNESS.

first of all - i couldn't concentrate on anything all day because i was so excited. i wore my Crash Kings shirt along with all the other Crash Queens. i was pretty much useless because all i could talk about was Crash Kings.

and the day went by sooooo sloowww. it was crazy.

SO FINALLY - it's 11:35 and Kara and i turn on Letterman. my fave of the late night hosts. and that makes the time pass quicker until 12:06am WHEN KIMMEL STARTS.

ohhhhh MAN. i got on Twitter and IT WAS GOING CRAZY!!!!!!! like, EXPLODING with Crash Queen Mania. it was so awesome and probably the second best thing happening in the world at that moment.

the first was Crash Kings performing on Kimmel, duh!

and it's even MORE exciting because West Coast Julie was AT THE TAPING of the show!!!! but all the West Coast Crash Queens would see the show three hours later than I would. strange how time works.

anyways - so they announce CRASH KINGS and show some super sexy pics of them at the beginning. and it's like, "holy crap they are performing on TV tonight." i couldn't believe it.

Don Cheadle was on first. i didn't know he was in Iron Man. then some other guy who was kind of handsome and was wearing a plaid shirt, if i remember correctly.

AND THEN, at the commercial break before Crash Kings they say, "coming up next, a performance by Crash Kings!" or something like that, and they show a shot of the guys all playing at pinball machines in the green room! hilarious. it was great.

AND THEN THE LONGEST COMMERCIAL BREAK EVVERRRRR........

AND THEN CRASH KINGS WERE ON TV!!!!!!!

and Twitter went SILENT. all the East Coast Crash Queens totally freaking out.

and, Crash Kings tore up the studio with Mountain Man.

and i was watching them. on tv. it was awesome. I SAW WEST COAST JULIE IN THE CROWD!!!! ROCKING OUT!!!!!!

and then everyone got back on Twitter in super freak out mode. SUPER. FREAK. OUT. MODE.

i thought Jason totally KILLED it on drums. Kara really appreciated Mike's awesome dance moves.

Julie told us all later that Tony seemed SUPER nervous beforehand. (awhe'ssocute.)

and did they only play one song? UM, NO.

THEY ALSO CLOSED OUT THE SHOW!!!!!!!

with....

YOU GOT ME!!!! which is their next single. and before they even went on, all the Crash Queens were saying how amazing it would be if they performed this song. BECAUSE IT'S SO FREAKING SEXY.

and they played it!!!!!!!!!

and it was amazing and super steamy.

and now they are huge rockstars. we got some new Crash Queens after their performance! no joke!!! people are finally figuring it out.

yep. now they're a famous rock band. for serious.

and seeing them on tv was awesome, but it felt strangely far away. not just like, i was in maine and they were in california. but, i am so used to seeing them LIVE. playing 10 feet away. and then standing 1 foot away from me after the show.

(AND JASON RECOGNIZING US ON THE STREET BEFORE THE SHOW.)

and, here they were, on tv. in a fancy studio. with fancy cameras. and Jimmy Kimmel.

crazy, man. like, really. crazy.

AND! i'm seeing them next week THREE TIMES!!!!

- may 21st in portland, maine
- may 22nd in boston, massachusetts
- may 23rd in new york, new york

AWESOME, right?! yes. and i'm trying to swing a trip to Chicago for the show on june 5th. BUT ALSO, because Kerianne lives there AND Aliya will be visiting!!! and it just happens to be when Crash Kings are also there!

Dear Elizabeth and Joe,

Go to Chicago during that time!!!! We can have a REAL-LIFE Mod 16 dinner and not just via conference call!!!!!

love,
Julie

Crash Kings can come to the Mod dinner too. they would probably like a nice meal. and a warm bed?

anyways. i hope it happens. BUT, i keep reminding myself that although i have a job and have been working, i am not making any money. and it's the second part that is kind of catching up with me.... and it's a real bummer.

so! tonight i took action and applied for a job at..... Walgreen's!! ever since i was a little girl i have wanted to work at Walgreen's! and they just happen to be hiring. "what luck have i," says she.

this will be the fourth job i have applied for in....the last month? month and a half? we'll see. it would be good to work there because i shop there a lot to avoid wal-mart. so - maybe it will work out.

but MAN, it also kind of sucks.


QUICK BUT AWESOME THINGS:

- re-dyed my hair teal tonight. one side came out great, the other side came out not so great. i think i may have to re-bleach it

- the other day i was driving and saw that my car was getting 57.5 MPG!!! that's the most since i bought it!!!

- Rooney has a new single out!!! AND IT ROCKS!!! You can stream it here, 'I Can't Get Enough.' I love it. AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM THIS SUMMER WITH HANSON!!!

- Um, SNL last weekend? yep. two things:
1. Whitney Houston on Weekend Update
2. 'Really?' with Seth, Amy and Tina

LOVES IT.

what else?

- I think I'm going to finish Season 3 of The O.C. tonight. YIKES! I think it will be pretty emotional, from what I've heard. And I can't believe I whipped through Season 3 so quickly! Yikes!

- I was happy today because i bought a giant bag of spinach for $1.99! Great deal!

- After listening to Blood Feathers so much, I was really craving Sweet Tea. probably because of their song, 'Sweet Tea' which I looooove. So, I went out last night and got one. Delish.


hmmmm. i think that might be all for now. i'm going to go make supper and O.C. it up!!!

earlier this evening Ruby Tuesday kept bringing me over toys and then she would do "the paw thing." she just wanted to play with everything!!! so badly!!! and if i didn't immediately acknowledge she was there, she would reach out and touch my leg. and then do the paw thing. she's so smart!!!!

last night after my shower i opened the bathroom door and she was laying in the hallway holding a pink thing in her hands. i mean, paws. ohhhh it was so cute!

it's official: she's the best.


UM, OKAY. i know what we can close on.

i have a photograph to show you.

MOVIE THEATER PHOTOGRAPH!!!!

remember the sketch movie theater in my town that never has enough letters to spell out the movie titles?!!

and last week when i saw, WIMPY FURR on the sign i thought it was the best thing ever.

that's, Diary of a Wimpy Kid AND Death at a Funeral.

PREPARE for sketchy and awesome.......





i also love the classic movie, HOT TUB CLASH.

oh, but Wimpy Furr gets me every time. and on the other side! it said, WIMPY FURRY.

and now that Diary of a Wimpy Kid isn't playing anymore, it just says, FURRY. yep. FURRY.

ohhhh it is so awesome.

ALRIGHT! i am off now. hope you are having a great night. whatever you are doing. OR! a great morning.

i'll let you know how everything goes on The O.C., don't worry.
