Leala Call is in the 21 Club!

Nina is 21-a-licious! Here are some highlights of Leandra, for those of you who don't know her:

She has some of the best/awkward dance moves you've ever seen. The hardest I've ever laughed in my life (seriously) is when The Nin was showing off those moves at Brady & Taryn's Black and White Party. She was all over the ground, a chair, and the other party-ers. I loved it.

The Nin not only gets the jokes but makes up a lot of them. Not a lot of people know, but the word "Girf" is a Leandra Original.

One time, while Leandra was getting her bridal pictures, the photographer told her to do some impromptu poses. So Leandra decided to do some hurkees (no idea how to spell that), which is basically a toe touch but with one leg bent. Keep in mind she was wearing a wedding dress while this was happening. It was glorious.

A favorite activity to do is a midnight sing-a-long to Rent, Dream Girls, Moulin Rouge, or High School Musical. I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, that I put down in wooooooooords how wonderful these musicals are, when you sing them late at niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...

When Leala was my roommate, sometimes I would accidentally scare the crap out of her. Afterward, she would tell me she was so scared because she "thought I was a vampire".

She doesn't know how to do handstands in a pool. There is a video somewhere of her attempt at this, but I don't know how to find it.

She knows the importance of Sonic drinks, Red Vines, bubble gum, Hint of Lime chips, Lost, America's Best Dance Crew and Potato Surprise (one time Leandra made a dinner that was basically whole potatoes, melted cheese, and 400 bags of peas-it was beautiful).

If you need to know more or want to ask for more delicious recipes like Potato Surprise, you can look/comment here or here. Happy Birthday, Lea-Laundry Nine! Tell your dad.

Leia is in the 23 Club Today

Ok, I realize this cake says "Happy 30th Birthday, Regina" on it, but the cake is so fitting (shopping bag + Leia's favorite colors) that I just needed to put it up. Anyway, today is Leia's Birthday! Leia is 23 and an official adult. Here are the reasons The Leggs and I are friends:

One time she said this: "I'm not worried about cancer. I'm worried about calories." HA! Don't act like that isn't the funniest thing ever.

She catches on quickly to slang like "girf/boyf", "tots", "mates", and other such Buckle jargon.

She knows that the answer to any problem you will ever face is a Diet Coke from Sonic.

We read the same retarded books and then have lengthy discussions on what we think will happen in the sequel to that retarded book.

She is as obsessed with ANTM as I am and will watch the occasional marathon with me.

We both thought "27 Dresses" was about the gayest thing ever, even when everyone else in the theater was in total awe of such an adorable (adorable=cliche) love story.

We understand how awesome Igrid and Meiko are and sometimes have emotional moments at their concert.

We have both decided to be rich and have lots of plastic surgery and maids and live next to each other when we are older. It's just easier that way you guys. Get over it.

Happy Birthday, Leggs! I can't believe you are leaving (Leia is leaving to go rock The Buckle in Valencia, CA)! I will miss you like craz-ay and can't wait to come visit you every day! So many Wicked and MEKs and Diet Coke and parties with the cast of Laguna Beach. PS if anyone wants to come to a certain "midnight celebration" with us to celebrate, you are invited. But I can't tell you what that celebration is, because it is too embarrassing.

Happy Birthday, PA Babies!

This entry is in celebration of two birthdays-my two nieces living in Lancaster, PA: Juliet and Adrienne! Juliet turned 1 on 07/23 and Adri will be turning 15 on 08/01. Here are some of my favorite things about these girfs:

-Playing Barbies with Adri. She has a crazy voice for her Barbies and it is just too hilarious and makes you want to talk in that same crazy voice all day.

-Juliet's fatty arms/legs. Can you even handle it?!

-The fact that Juliet could be Adri's big sister.

-When the babies hate everyone that isn't Mom or Dad. I don't know why I think this is the funniest thing on earth (see above picture of Adri).

-Crazy ratty baby hair. Best thing ever.

Happy Birthday, babies! I hope your day is a wonderful dream come true and that you get all the glass slippers/beautiful ball gowns/fairy wands you've ever dreamed of!

Go Shorrty, It's Yo Birfday

Happy Birthday to The Nana! Staci is my friend/boss from Buckle. Here are some little known facts about the Stabster-licious:

She introduced me to MAC (this seriously changed my life...SERIOUSLY).

She wanted to be an astronaut...and I think she still does...

I know why her hair was down at her wedding, but half up for the reception (see me or Leia for details).

Give her a chance, and she'll get you addicted to Cadbury Mini Eggs.

She saves money buy using mall employee coupons to places like Clinique and Chik-Fil-A.

She is fluent in "Brieves" and one time said: "I gue I cho Rebs". Hahahaha-oh the brieves...

Her favorite movie is "Beetlejuice".

Now for a well-known fact: Stac is one of the most generous, awesome people in the universe.

Thanks, Nane-nane. You're the greatest. Have fun on the Buckle vacay!

Today is Keith Elison's birthday! I chose this cake for the occasion because Keith is built on a firm "foundation", much like this fondant barn. And like these wide-eyed "ponies", peeking out of the fence, "Keith" has a curiosity and zest for life (if you didn't understand that, it's just because you didn't grow up in the Elison house. And that is just TOO bad).

One of my favorite things about Keith is that every time he meets a celebrity, he has a really good story to tell about it. Like when he met Latoya Jackson on an airplane and, after chatting her up, moon-walked back to his seat. Or like the time he saw Carol Mikita in a ride line at Disney Land and proclaimed "Carol Mikita?! This really IS the happiest place on earth!" Or, like that time he saw Quentin Terrentino at Sundance and, after a long conversation with him, told him he'd give him $20 if he named his next character after him. Fantastic.

Anyways, happy birthday, biotch. Hope it's a good one.

ALSO. Just so everyone knows, I was looking through an application at my job yesterday. Here is what I found in his employment history under "Company Products/Services":

"Family steak house...we cooked children".

WOA!

Alright, I don't know who on earth "Nilpixel" is, but isn't this the best picture you've ever seen in your life?! Today is Jason Fry's birthday. In honor of this occasion, here is a list of AWESOME things Jason has introduced me to that everyone else needs to see as well:

*Short Circuit (yes, the 1986 movie-never laughed so hard in my life).

(watch or die).

*Reno 911.

*LOST-this show stole seriously like 3 months of my life. And I don't even want it back!

*Guacomole and avacados in general.

*Probably 8 million bands.

*U student culture (democrats, beards, V-neck shirts, etc).

*All the Mystery Science Theater you can handle.

*Other things I can't remember.

Thanks for all those awesome things. Happy birthday, J.Fry!

Sunday the 24th of February is Carly Johnston-Young's birthday. In honor of this event, I've decided to recount one of my favorite memories of Carly:

Once upon a time at Mrs. Auernig's house in 1999, some friends and I dared Carly to eat an entire cube of butter for $50 (we were all going to chip in). Now, Carly has never been scared of calories or fat content, not even a little bit, so of course she took the dare. Now picture this-about a dozen 14-year-old girls circled up around Carly-chanting and cheering her on as she is trying to force this thing down her throat. She almost got it too (except she couldn't because it was too slippery). Watching her trying to swallow that thing was probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I think we even paid her $25 for her efforts.

Anyway, Carly is everything Joyce and I wish we could be. (In the voice): Carly. Happy Birthday.
