It's been awhile, awkward turtle.

I know, I know. My last blog was October and it's friggin... shit it's march. But in my defense, they dont let you blog in boot camp. Which only accounts for 9 weeks of my...4 month absence. I was busy, rescuing sea turtles and teaching challenged children, and re-freezing the polar ice caps, and...no I wasn't. Truthfully I dont even really remember those 4 months so lets just forget about them. And I'd love to know where you've been for the past 4 months, not here that's for sure. So I was thinking about how I have nothing to say, and I have something to say about that. What do you do when your in the middle of a conversation with someone, whom you pursued,  and theres an awkward silence? Do you feel the need to fill the awkward silence just because you started the conversation? Like your obligated by some set of unspoken conversational conduct guidelines to make the situation less uncomfortable? Or maybe your the person who just looks at the ground, pursing their lips into bizarre facial expressions (that you would never normally make but of course these are special circumstances), waiting for the other person to make the first move. My personal favorite is the moment when the awkward silence begins, and it goes on just long enough to almost be unbearable but then one person says something like, "grandmas cat passed her kidneys stones". To which the other person replies with an excited, " Oh good, thats really great, I was just wondering about that.". How fucking awkward...Heres my homework assignment for the week. Dont fill the void. At no time this week, regardless of how positively excruciatingly painful the silence is, will you speak. Lets take it one step further. The other person tries to start the conversation up again, don't respond. Just look at them, dont twiddle your thumbs, or purse your lips. Stare. This is gonna be great. I wanna hear some feedback from this. 

Online, who's online?, are you online?.

okay. So obviously, your "online". all i mean is that your plugged in. Cause I mean your reading a blog. Your not just fricken googling golden retriever puppies. Okay so this is my beef . Being online is like being drunk, all inhabitions lost, right? No. It's not like that at all. And here's where I go into a incoherent rant on why that is. You sign up on a forum, you start chatting, people can see your name. They can google you, myspace you, facebook you, twitter you, basically fucking stalk you. All because a chat room had your name on it. Ok, I can deal with that, I'm the one who put my personal info out there in the first place right? But then, I'm really getting along with someone in a forum. Is my profile picture ok? Did I say something witty in every single one of my bio responses? So then it's basically a mind fuck of all the things you have to make sure your not making a totally fool of yourself on. Google, myspace, facebook, twitter, youtube. So then when it comes down to it, you could have saved yourself alot of time and embaressed yourself just as much if you walked up to a girl in a bar and said her shirt brought out her eyes, before realizing she was wearing white. But, this is a computer generation so maybe you DO feel more comfortable on the computer. I personally find that my wit and charm come across much more gracefully in person or on video. haha, yeah right. I actually just suck at typing. But in all honesty, I prefer talking face to face over any kind of electronic. Unless, I'm having an awful hairday, then maybe I'll reconsider. So thats how I see it. What do you think?

Pick-up Lines

Okay, so upon rewathcng and rewatching...and rewatching all of the Cat Daivs' Cat on the Prowl vlogs. I decided to follow suit and gather all the pick-up lines I could. What I love about pick-up lines is that, though they maybe cheesy and retarded, and all things wrong with the actual pick-up, they are HILARIOUS. So here are some of the gems that I have thus far found.

Do you have a raisin? no. How about a date?

Do my eyes match my shoes? You just checked me out.

Can I see your shirt tag?  Just what I thought, made in heaven.

Is that a mirror in you pocket? Cause I can see myself in your pants.

Do you know how much a penguin weighs? no. Enough to break the ice, hi my name is...

If I could rearrange the alphabet I'd put U and I next to eachother.

I must be a snowflake cause I've fallen for you.

 What do you think? Like them? Better yet, would you use any of them? and if you do, please tell me EVERYTHING. I'm dying to know.

Still obsessed with the L Word?

Okay, I don't mean to start off by ranting, but let me just say, the L word mania, is still alive. I was just reading a blog on http://www.afterellen.com/ which revealed that the lovely Jennifer Beals would shortly be releasing the photos that she taken on set over the past six season. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a fan. No, I take that back, I have an unhealthy obsession with The L Word, so I am all for more media coming out to keep the spirit alive. But here's my question, when does enough become enough. How long after the last episode airing can we still act like it will come on next Thursday at 9? Because it's not. You can watch all the re runs in the world, I dont give a fuck, the shows still over. Don't label me as one of those L Word haters, cause I'm not. Trust me, the time when Alice and Dana are making gift bags and then all of a sudden they just start going at it and all you see is feet, thats good television. I guess what I'm trying to say is, love The L Word, remember the L Word, celebrate the L Word, but just accept that it's over. Wanna check out the article about Jennifer Beals?

First bloggy baby

Okay, so this is my first ever blog, yeah!! haha. Ive actually been wanting to start one for a really long time. This Particular blog is dedicated to exploring popular topics and culture directly relating to the young adults and us that may see the world a little differently than others . So I guess I should start out by telling you a just enough about myself. My name is Briana, I am 18 years young. I know what your thinking, what kind of 18 year old would have anything worth while to say...well if you dont like, don't read it. I was born and raised in Orange County California. Go Chargers. And am an aspiring comedian and an avid photographer. My favorites happen to be the hilarious Cat Davis, Bridget McManus, Ellen (duh), Rossie, Liz Feldmen and Erin Foley. If this goes well I would consider staring a vlog so please, comments and suggestions are always welcome, just don't be a bitch. That's all i've got to start with but stay posted for some entertainment with a hint of  pop culture with a twist of adult content. haha.
