I love my father.
He has come through for me, ONCE AGAIN.
He might not say "I love you" but he demonstrates everyday what a wonderful man and devoted father he is. I was seriously STRESSED OUT by the fact I wrote $1375 worth of checks I KNEW I couldn't cover. I was thinking about taking out a loan (and being laughed out of the bank) or maybe selling my body for 3 nights of sin costing $466.66 a pop. But lo and behold, daddy came on through, offering to loan me $1500. I am 27 years old and feel like an complete ass having to get money from my father. If only I would have been saving instead of spending. I mean, was that gorgeous suede skirt worth the cost of my eternal soul? Well, maybe.
Here are my parents. They are amazing. Mom and Dad. I don't say it often enough, but I really love you.
In other news, I went on a voice audition yesterday. I have been told by a few pros in the voice-over field that I have a smoky, Demi Moore quality to my voice. Well my vocal nodes and years of smoking and drinking are going to pay off in a big way when I record my radio commercial for Diamond's Gentlemen's Club. I get to say such things as: Come on boys, what are you waiting for? Diamonds has the HOTTEST totally naked girls in Chicago! You KNOW you want it!
Pretty sweet, eh?
I didn't go on a date last night. Poor Brian. His brother got called into active duty and is shipping out to Iraq on Friday. He flew to Maryland to see him. I tried to cheer him up the best that I could. I can't relate to that situation, but I really feel for him. I can't imagine Brooke being called over there. I think I would throw up.
So instead I hung out with Molly, which was great since she is leaving for Guam May 4th for 4 MONTHS! I will really miss her. I love the way she makes me feel about myself. She is always complementing me and making me feel smart and beautiful in a time where I don't really feel like either. She is so sweet and pure and talented. I love you, girl!
Last night was nice and relaxing. Watched The O.C. The best freaking episode I have ever seen! Holy geez, I can't wait to read Television Without Pity's review of that one. Strippers, cat fights and prostitutes, oh my! I made me all the more excited to go to Vegas. I got a key for the Hard Rock pool, which is prominently featured in the episode, from my friend Mel. I only got one key, so the girls I am with will just have to watch me having a shitload of fun through the fence. Boo hoo.
After The O.C. we headed over next door to Sports Corner, my least favorite bar and watched the CUBS WIN. Bout time, you damn Diamondbacks. Then I convinced everyone to go over the The Dugout, this whole in the wall bar my roommate-to-be Christine bartends at. My roommate-to-be Mike was there! He is the coolest and I think we are going to have the best time together. Of course, that is how I originally felt about Kon, but this guy is different. I mean, he has a job. Which helps. We are going to lunch today, and since it is 78 degrees, I am going to insist on sitting outside. Last night was a blast, one of those things you don't plan but randomly end up being great. There was a guy with a guitar and he was letting people come up and sing with him. Some weirdo cornered me and kept offering to buy me shots and putting his arm around my back. He was talking all kinds of shit about how successful he is and I am like buddy, save your breath, you'll need it to blow up your date.
So we danced around like morons and Christine bought me 2 vodka and cranberries. I went to bed feeling pretty buzzed and very blessed.
Don't you just love this? That's the kind of shit that makes my world go 'round.
