So the last time I posted, it was the night before I left for DC. I have now gotten through that weekend AND Chicago. I forget this exists, sorry.
I loved DC. Could the convention have been better? Sure. Could I have done more while I was there? Of course. But I made some incredible friends and contacts from all over the country. I was the walking epitome of "Jersey Girl" that weekend, and everyone remembered me for my crazy rants about Corzine and Jersey, which I have to say is awesome when the president of the national organization whom I did not meet once that weekend still knew exactly who I was two weeks later in Chicago. I stayed at someone's house for free and had half of my meals made by his mom, so it was pretty excellent.
I also met a boy. I know, the beginning of my demise - always. I think he knows that we're in love by some of the things that he says when we talk daily; I'm just waiting for him to act on it when not under the influence. We're going to be working together throughout the school year on building our federation, so I have ample opportunity. He's just perfect and I could gush about him for hours, but I'll spare you.
This past weekend I was in Chicago for the Young Democrats of America Convention. I'll admit that I didn't enjoy this weekend as much for several different reasons. Once again, Jersey more than lived up to its stereotype. My main problem with the convention was that the entire weekend was focused on these elections, which just really put a divide in everyone. The voting process was just like a caucus setting, so it was just complete insanity, though a very good experience in hindsight. I met lots of people from Jersey who are close to my age and work for congress[wo]men and assembly[wo]men around the state, so that really is what made the trip worth while. Plus I only paid $60 for the trip, which was 3 nights in a four-star hotel, after my boss gave me some money. Ballin'.
The time in-between those trips and my time for the rest of the summer is just random Democratiness. Canvassing for Corzine, going to random Corzine and Christie appearances in the area, seeing absolutely no one, making sure that the Democrat of my dreams puts a ring on my finger by Christmas...I mean, what?

I'm going to Washington DC for the weekend tomorrow. I have not packed, nor do I know exactly what I'm doing down there. Or when I'm leaving. Or how I'm even getting there. I'm fucking stoked.
I have never felt the need to go away so badly as I do right now. It doesn't even matter that I'm going down for business. I'm really excited to not be in Gloucester County for the better part of four days with people that I just met the other day.
I think this summer will ultimately be swell and really guide me in the right direction. I'm hyped.

Me: Holy shit, can you make a new logo for Pitman Rec?
Andrew Schmidt: How much will you pay me?
Me: $50. And a BJ.
That is this week's update. Carry on.

Uh, I haven't updated in three weeks? Holy crap. New personal record.
So this is my life right now:
1. I have class Monday - Thursday (Print Media Copywriting and American Government). I really enjoy both professors, and I am insanely fascinated with the Gov class, thus one of the things solidifying in my mind a career in public service.
2. I'm interning at the Gloucester County Democratic Committee Headquarters. My boss, Matt, is awesome. He is basically me but a guy. And he graduated from Rowan and knows all of the RoDems guys so we bond a lot and are BFFs. He's 26 and from West Deptford, BTW.
3. I work at Friendly's on the weekends. I'm really getting tired of that place. While I make pretty good money, I just hate working at such a sub-par establishment. Which really wouldn't be that much of a problem if we weren't trying to be legit. I hate telling customers everyday that we're out of something. Plus I don't really like the management too much. But we'll see how soon I can get out of there...
4. I am updating for the first time on my new MacBook. The monitor on the other laptop is out of commission, and I figured that it will probably die soon anyway, so I might as well just get a new laptop. After cleaning it out of everything, I'm just going to keep it in the event that I have some sort of stationary office type deal where I can put it with an external monitor. I don't know where I'll keep it, but whatevs.
5. Boys are not noteworthy whatsoever.
6. I have been doing a lot of networking with other college Democrats recently, and I really love it. I'm so excited for Chicago and the other activities I'll be doing this summer. Starting the club back up in the fall will be great because we'll be ready to expand across the state with others and really get involved. I'm so glad that I've gotten this opportunity, especially since it is really starting to bring a lot of clarity to me on my future.
7. Expect me to know absolutely nothing about the day-to-day workings of P-Wreck this summer. I will hardly be there at all. I do not know any details about anything. Just so we're all aware.
Okay. I think that's all. You are all pretty much up-to-date with my life. And hopefully I won't go this long without posting -- even something cryptic! -- again.

I'm going to be sure to never hook up with someone I work with again. I'm also never going to tell my manager that I hooked up with someone I work with again, no matter how badly I want to be cut from the floor.

Where should I have this tattooed on my body? Nowhere supremely obvious, as starting this summer I will be going to a lot of fancy events with professionals and politicians, so it can't be like WOAH TATTOO. Even if it is the feminism symbol.

Being smitten with an 18 year old when you're 21 is just balls.

I'm kind of an asshole and potentially ruined chances with a boy, but I wasn't really sure if I wanted anything from that anyway. Plus I got the thing I truly wanted out of it, so no regrets.
My birthday was ballin'. Thanks all :)

Apparently when you're 21, you get drunk better and your hangovers are worse.

I love being 21.

For once, my family and Christen will be able to gather together at a normal time on my actual day of birth. That alone is what makes today wonderful.

I don't know if everyone has seen the trailer for Where the Wild Things Are yet (which looks insanely brilliant), but here's another movie adaptation of a childhood classic to add to the list of must-sees.
Oh, and for Alyson:
Also worth noting: It’s official — “Pushing Daisies,” along with both “Dirty Sexy Money” and “Eli Stone” will burn off all their remaining episodes on Saturdays this summer, starting the last week of May. (source)

Okay, biddies, I'm taking an idea from the entertainment blog that I read called the Cannonball Read.
The goal is to read 100 books within a year. Since that'll take a while, the winner will receive a prize that I will come up with later.
The rules are as follows:
1. Books must be at least 200 pages.
2. Short story collections must contain at least 6 stories.
3. No graphic novels.
After you read a book, you are to post a review on LJ. It should include a basic synopsis that doesn't reveal too many plot devices along with your feelings on the book.
Repeats on books are allowed, but try to be original as much as possible.
Leave a comment if you want in!

"it's about how one persons words inspire someone so much they invest in them, and in turn get other people to see the amazingness in those words and create a team of artists who think the writers words are sooo briliant they inspire them to dream up sets, costumes, lights, and music, and in turn they get people who sometimes can only create art through there bodies to uses this persons words on a stage in the middle of god knows where to inspire, ignite, change a life, make a person smile, cry, feel emotion, get out of there own head, to be free to believe. that to me is great theater. not hundreds of dollars and big billboards and fancy lights, the chance to change someones perspective on this shitty world/life there living and make them think "hu?" this is the reason i fell in love with theater, this is why i refuse to go to school and listen to some cop out preach infront of a classroom filled of people like me, this is why i may be homeless, not have food or money, not have a place to call home, but i'll forever and ever not stop trying to be on a stage or backstage somewhere trying to change the world, or if i cant do that at least attempt to change one persons perspective of it."
That's exactly why I wanted to do theatre. Anthony Nicoletto, I love you.
