Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here!

It's day 12 of my chapter edits. I'm on chapter 6, and the possibility of my brain waves causing a nuclear aplocalypse seems exponentially more possible.
...exactly people! --This could really happen--start getting worried!
Here is my editing pile of headaches.
It's a good headache to have-If I was reading someone else say this and complain, I'd be like, "SHUT UP! You're lucky to have finished a first draft!"
-I know that and I love this process, but it's also the scariest thing ever-like starting a relationship with someone you've always wanted- because I've wanted to have my writing out there for so long-I remember wanting that in 2nd grade when I re-wrote 'Rudolph' to make it better :)
I feel I will never reach the quality of writing that is in my head. I'm not a perfectionist by any standard in life-my car is a water bottle graveyard, but I hold myself to a high level with writing because a dream is perfection--You can never be as good as you are in a dream.

...and Jasmine is giving me like...no support. Look at her---
...no help at all.

10:39 PM editing update: Jasmine still no help - Tho she's moved into my lap which makes typing a little more difficult.
10:43 PM : If I can be reincarnated, I want to come back as Jasmine.
...It must be nice.

New Orleans: Sucre Cupcakes, bonbons, and macarons- Oh MY!!

I'm not feeling very well today, but my good friend sent me some great pics of Sucre, New Orleans that brightened my day :)
She knows my manuscript is based in Post-Katrina New Orleans and that my family is from there, so many thanks to Rachel for sending me these! I can't wait to get back there and have some of their gelato!
Sucre!!!
Macaron Cookie Tree on the front counter top!
Chocolate Absinthe BonBon!
Caramel Gelato!
This is actually one of MY pics from the trip I took with my mom-sicle last summer. We had breakfast at Sucre and it was the most unhealthy breakfast ever- A chocolate rasberry filled cupcake, macaroons, and white chocolate/lavender hot chocolate.
My cupcake from this visit was featured on CupcakesTakTheCake. CLick HERE to read what I wrote!

How To Stalk Katy Perry

Does anyone else LOVE Katy Perry as much as I do?! ---I've reached an unhealthy level with my admiration. I've never fancied myself a stalker, but let's just call it what it is :)
She's vintage,
She plays the guitar,
She's more awesome than me AND Jasmine combined!

She used to be a Christian songstress(which I didn't know about till like 5 minutes ago), and is probably a main target for the same demographic that bombs abortion clinics--as evidenced by THIS VIDEO talking about her song, 'I Kissed a Girl', that was her introduction to the main stream music world.

I've been waiting for her video of 'Waking Up In Vegas'(if ur audio is on, ur listening to it NOW!) to come out, and it's ALMOST here!!!!

"I'm in a glass case of EMOTION!" :)Penny Meets Katy
Penny: "Can we share clothes, Katy?!"
Katy: "Could you scoot over a little?"
Penny: "Oh- Oh sure."
Katy: *squints* "Well, I gotta go. It was great meeting you."
Penny: *security guard holds me back from following* "Okay!" I yell after her, "I'll just wait here!" *Turn to security guard* "Do you think she likes me?!"
Security Guard: "Yeah...I'm gonna have to say no."

Reasons why Penny and Katy Perry should be friends:

1)She has a cat - I have my tiny terror, Jasmine Macaroon.


2) She loves Halloween nails - I love 'The Shining' which they always play on tv on Halloween.

3) She loves cupcakes - I make awesome cupcakes.

4) Sometimes she's sad - I got sad once when I dropped a cupcake.

5) She hugged a monkey - Jason got me a monkey from NASA.

Penny: "See what I mean?! We're meant to be friends!!" :)
"What do you think, Katy?!"
"oh, sure...I'll take your dirty plates back to the hotel kitchen. When I get back, can we watch 'Anchorman, The Legend of Ron Burgundy' together?!"
".....Oh. ....When I get back with the dry cleaning then?!"
"No? Well...Okay...pumpkin pancake social tomorrow then?! I'll get there at 4am and save spots to be sure we get seats next to eachother! Can't wait!!"

How to feel better when you feel depressed:


When you feel alone on ur diet:


What to say to haters:


What to do if you're Codependent:


As one of my other BFF's, Anna, would say, "That kids on wacky crack!"
Here's Anna! ...and her DAUGHTER- Brittany! Yep--Brit Brit....
...These ladies have good genes---I want some of their stem cells :)

"THAT, YOU CAN PRINT!!"

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear....Why the hell don't you know that?!"

"I'm singing/I'm in a store/and I'm siiiiiingiiiiing!"
I interviewed the band, 'Where Vegas Lies' last night and it was very 'Almost Famous': There were vibes of acoustic anarchy, lyrical explorations of lusts and depravity usually reserved for those on acid, and magical moments that can only be brought on by trashing John Mayer.

... writing it in Sharpie doesn't make it true, John.
Chris D'Angelo(lead vocals/guitar in response to the question, What other bands/artists have you been able to meet? : "John Mayer is a DOUCHE! I met him and asked for an autograph. He walked away and said for me to buy something with his name on it. THAT, you can print!!"
:) I'll be posting links to the interview once it's published :)
I have a video of much of the practice/interview as well that I'll be cropping and posting in the next couple of days- so check back for that :)
Chris D'Angelo- lead vocals/guitar
Daniel Craine-lead guitar
Kyle Therkildsen- Bass
Kevin Hernandez - Drums

Brit Brit was there with me and I got an awesome pic of her...
Mock Brit Brit Reaction:
Brit: "I hate you right now. I look so lame."
Penny: " SO...submitting the pic to 'Vogue' was the wrong choice?!"
Brit: "..............what?!"

:) here's a good one of her so she's not TOO pissed I added the one above! ....BAM!!!!!!!!!!!

You Don't Like Lighthouses?! You SUCK!!

I can't stop giggling when I watch this video. It's an animated lizard talking about anything and everything with the sharp tongue that reminds me of a rude bread baker I met in Brooklyn, NY.

I Touched a Moonrock and I Liked It!

Jason and I went to NASA for Valentine's Day and we finally got a pic of it on the computer. I've lived in Houston since I was four and had actually never been there. It was a cool experience and we met so many tourists on the tour with us. We actually have a video of the whole thing and the CRAZY downpour of rain that was falling all day. Much of it was moderated by yours truly, and there are definetly some great moments where they told me not to touch artifacts and suh but I did it anyway :) I know- that was wrong...and I feel bad..well...no-that's a lie. I don't feel bad-I touched a moon rock, and I liked it!!
I'm gonna cut the video and make into a short, webisode of The Adventures of Jason and Penny. We're a pretty laid back, homebody couple- but with our vanilla ice cream we like some sprinkles! Scandalous! :)

Brennan: "Did we just become best friends?!" Dale:"Yep!" - 'Step Brother'

I got to see my friend Kaylynn today who was in town for Easter, and now I'm depressed she's gone again. Both me and Brittany got to hang out with her!
