i just pooped in the rolling stone bathroom.
someone pinch me.
so i get here, and i expect to see about 20 blondes that say, "like" every other word writing with feather pens talking about lip gloss. um, apparently i'm an idiot. i get here and it's all ... art kids. i can't even tell you how hilarious it is to see a girl with a nose ring, patent pumps and diamond tats lay out a cover of us weekly. the girl next to me is pissed that lindsay lohan's dad is writing her "bad" e-mails.
so i'm all situated at my desk and my boss lays out what i'm doing today.
"write a celeb bio for david cook, michelle trachtenberg and taylor momsen. oh yeah, and we're having lunch with david cook in about.. 2 hours."
fuck, i just got here. right now he's in some photoshoot down the hall and i just can't handle it.
it's so hot and sweaty in here and all i can think about is, "how the hell did i get here?"
this is the most convoluted piece of crap entry ever, mostly because i'm thinking about all the work i have to do.
but you guys, i took a shit in the bathroom at rolling stone.

josh is subletting his really awesome apartment available june 1 through the end of september for only $425 a month. it's a super clean, sunny, 3rd floor two bedroom with one bathroom and a big living room and hardwood floors. the bedrooms even have sliding glass doors.
so if anyone in iowa (or elsewhere) has been thinking about spending their summer here in chicago.. the time is now!!!
he's seriously less than a block away from the red line on the north side!
so nice.. fully furnished!
if anyone wants it, or knows someone that needs a place, let me know!

sup, y'all? i'm really into misspelling things lately. i don't know what it is.
anyway, so basically i love my journalism friends more than life itself. i don't know what exactly it is. i think it's their extremely dark sense of humor mixed with amazing story telling skillz and being incredibly smart that keeps me coming back for more. god. i just love them.
so, it was hunter's birthday and we went out. i have some documentation. yadda yadda. ghey stuff.
birthday boiii.
omgz. kanye glasses.
my baby boiii.
awww, andrew.
i'm a monster? i'm a monster.
um, i have no idea. i think everything is hilarious.
hahahahhahahhahaha.

last night made me so incredibly happy to be alive. goddd.
too bad josh and i got cobrasnaked and i look NASTTTY.
don't judge.
AND ANOTHER THING: THERE IS A LINE OF HALLMARK CARDS THAT ARE CALLED "MAHOGANY" AND THEY ARE JUST CARDS FOR BLACK WOMEN. DOES ANYONE ELSE FIND THIS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY??
like, the one card i thought was hilarious on the front said, "from diva to diva.. happy birthday" or something like that with an artsy painting of a black woman. what are they trying to say? i'm white and can't be a diva? i don't GET THIS. where are the white chick cards? i don't even understand how a card could be racially segregated anyway when they have like puppies, sports cars or cartoons on them. this is blowing my mind!
ps- tomorrow is josh's and i ONE YEAR. go us!
PPS- at the show last night, a girl came up to me and said, "ARE YOU FROM THE LJ COMMUNITY NEWESTWRINKLE? I RECOGNIZE YOU!! I WOULD NEVER SAY THIS IF I WASN'T DRUNK." hahahahahha

he was all, "it's so coollldd in here." i love how whiney he looks even though he totally isn't.
this is wes and jason in the drake hotel. (check out his dorky sneaks, hahaha.) it was hilarious because after the interview i asked to take a photo outside the conference room and they would not stop mentioning how many sconces the hotel had. i was like "man, you love the sconces. do you want to take a photo next to the sconces?" and they got all excited and wes said "i'm going to look at the sconce." and jason said, "yeah? well i'm going to TOUCH the sconce." and thus, this photo emerged.
so basically this is how it went:
wes anderson is the nicest man i've ever met. i introduced myself to him ("hi, i'm chrissy") and he didn't fail to keep calling me chrissy the entire interview. ("chrissy, would you like to start off the questions today?") i felt like wes and jason looked at me quite often when speaking (there were 3 other college kids there), but i thought maybe it was just my imagination, but the photographer was like "dude, wes was staring at you the whole time."
ANYWAY, wes is like 6 feet tall, had the smallest, daintiest hands i've ever seen, and such a small frame even though he's a giant. he stutters uncontrollably, is uncandidly apologetic, and constantly reminded us how much he loved talking to us during the interview (aww.) he is very nervous and fidgety and jason has the exact same mannerisms. basically what jason acts like in movies is exactly how he is in real life. not to mention, when wes got bored during the interview he started sketching jason's fiji water bottle, haha.
so, jason, man. looks exactly the same, except for one minor detail: HE'S SHORT AS HECK. like, i was prepared for shortness, but DANG is he short. it didn't help that i wore high shoes, but like the 4 times we talked/touched standing up, i was like dang.
anyway, during the interview he said some super cute things like, "i always get sooo nervous before i shoot. i call my mom the night before the first day of shooting and talk to her for hours about how nervous i am. i never feel like i know what i'm doing."
so after the interview was over i asked him about going on tour with coconut records (his label/band) and then we got talking about his myspace page. i asked him if he actually maintained it and he said, "yes of course. i mean, my GIRLFRIEND accepts all the friend requests, but i definitely read every comment."
i searched her the second i got back and this is her if you're interested.
beyond that, he has a mysterious limp that i didn't ask about and wes was the nicest guys i've ever met.
SIGH.
back to the real world...
