There is some sort of satisfaction when you see your friends start liking a certain band or artist, and you’ve known of that band or artist waaay before and have been familiar with their songs for a long time already.
It’s like, I don’t wanna be that fan who’s all “I’ve known them since the beginning,” but really… I’ve known them since the beginning.
Smug smile indeed.

Jazz Reggae Festival 2012. My friends and I posing at the art booth.
There’s just something about this festival that I love. And sure, maybe I’m biased because I’m in CAC, but really… I love how this event brings so much diversity to UCLA. The music, the food, the people, the art, the shopping… It encompasses so much more than the school. It brings Los Angeles to the campus, which doesn’t often happen here in bougie Westwood.
It’s one of my favorite times during school, and I couldn’t be prouder of the JRF staff and happier for the way CAC has ended its year.
It was the first day of the Jazz Reggae Festival today. The Roots opened their set by playing Paul Revere as a tribute to MCA. I flipped my shit.
So naturally, I had to post this video.

Look at how cuuute he was. Awwwwhhhh.
But in all seriousness, I remember when I first saw Justin’s videos on YouTube and I thought he was really talented and could definitely do something in the music business. And then he got signed with Usher, blew the fuck up, and now look at where he’s at. Props to him. For real, even with all the obnoxious, tween fans and corny love songs, he’s a star who worked hard and shows a lotta love to his fans. Can’t hate.
It just bothers me because the kid is really talented… Ya know, before he became Justin Bieber, he played instruments a lot. Guitar, piano, drums… And he could sing and (kinda) dance… Pretty fuckin’ talented. But now, he doesn’t really showcase much of that. Just gets by with the corny songs, rap features and swag. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was his record label guiding him, but still… It’d be nice to see him pick up a guitar and play an acoustic song again.
Tis all.
I saw Darren Criss tonight.
And he sang and it was way too short, and he’s really attractive in person because I don’t really prefer the scruffy look, but he looked goood, and also, a little tired because he just got off the plane three hours ago, but he still sounded amazing, and didn’t forget any words, except he did kind of have to figure out Status Quo before he actually played ‘cause it had been so long, and he was making funny faces, and I couldn’t help it because oh-my-god-your-face-Darren, and the entire time during his set, I was just thinking to myself, like damn, he’s really lucky ‘cause his voice is just gold, I totally see why Glee picked up on that and gave him so many solos because really… Perfection.
I had a full out reaction after I watched the season finale of Glee. Said “What the hell?” about five times and vented to my roommates.
I don’t even watch TV. I barely even started watching Glee. Like, that shit just happened randomly before Winter Break. Mainly because I kept seeing stuff about it on Tumblr. And look at me now. Look at me now. Emotionally invested in a fictional gay couple on a show that covers pop songs and show tunes… Like, I wrote a damn paper on Glee and its impact on gay youth in my Communications class this quarter. I turned it in to my professor today. Wat da fuk? Wat is this. I can’t even.
… Regardless, I spontaneously bought a ticket to the Starkid show tomorrow night to see Darren perform. Who cares that Jazz Reggae is this weekend, I have a speech to present next week, 6 journal entries due, a final project to start, a final exam to study for, a banquet to help plan, staff interviews to conduct, hours to make up at work… WHY THE HELL NOT GO TO THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK?
Yeah… What my life has become, really.
Lol, I was definitely not expecting Watch the Throne to set this trailer off… But awwhh at Tobey and Leo’s friendship. Babiiiees <3
… I will watch because of Leo and his brilliance though.
Best friends.

And bam, period comes. I love being a woman, but dfhjkdslhskafkhdaslfa, I hate this shit. Waaaaaahhhhhh.
… By the way, I’ve noticed that I’ve been blogging more about my menstrual problems. It’s a sign of how much it’s fucking bothering me. Before, I would just be annoyed and chill for a few days, but now I get really fuckin’ emotional in all sorts of ways. And cramps! I even get cramps. I never used to get cramps. Wat da fuk is that shit? Oh my god, it’s the fuckin’ worst.

Aside from the dramatics though, I had a really good day today! It was kind of bittersweet ‘cause it was my boss’s last day at work, but a bunch of us went out to lunch together and even though I stay the youngest person there, it was nice. I’m honestly going to miss her. Sometimes, I’d get irritated simply ‘cause of the tasks I would be put to and how redundant and painfully meticulous they seemed, but she was always a cool person to work with. So I’m sad about that 
But then I went to class, where our guest speaker was Dan Wilson who was fuckin’ awesome, and even better ‘cause he was funny and seemed to have a cool personality. And I really wanted to tell him how much I love his song “All Kinds” (for reasons 
), but I didn’t ‘cause he sorta split after the lecture and I’m just not good at the whole being a fan thing. But he sang his songs, and he’s just an amazing songwriter, and I don’t know, I was swooning all over the place. Music fuckin’ does that, ya know?
Yeah. Twas an interesting day.
I’ve been here before. It’s a beautiful adventure.
I have too! I think it was with you and your fam as well, haha.
That crocodile doesn’t do anything though.

A Goofy Movie and An Extremely Goofy Movie were my favorites growing up. And no lie, I had a lightweight crush on Max.
That says a lot about me.
