1) Taylor Swift
T.Swift is what inspired this entire list. I just finished reading her Rolling Stone cover story, and sheeee is just great. Tell me you don't just want to be biffles with her. She's awkward, she's nerdy, she's spiteful: she is literally every single thing I look for in a friend.
2) Emma Stone
Have you seen Easy A? I know she's playing a character and everything, but I firmly believe it was a character based on Emma Stone. Eyyyyyyyye gotta pocket goddapockehfulla sunshine. ALSO we would spend so many hours discussing every beautiful inch of Ryan Gosling's hot hot bod.
3) Anna Kendrick
Remember back when the first Twilight movie came out, and everyone was terrible, except for Bella's friend Jessica, who was HILARIOUS?! Anna Kendrick. Remember George Clooney's little scene-stealing Type-A breakdown friend in Up In The Air? Anna Kendrick. Remember when Beca from Pitch Perfect stole your heart with 3 simple words: "That's my dick."? Anna Kendrick. AND she's a nerd! See also: her twitter feed.
4) Jennifer Lawrence
Guys. Have you ever seen any single interview with her? Or any photo? There's nothing more to say.
5) Jennifer Garner
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Jennifer Garner is my spirit animal. I fell in love with her, as we all did, in 13 Going On 30. MATTY IT'S THRILLER! And then SHE fell in love with my number one all time great great wonderful handsome love in this whole miserable world: Ben Affleck. And now, as I've fantasized, I will sit next to her on a plane someday, and I will explain how much I love them and how they have the most adorable children in the world and if they have any wallpaper that needs removing or have a craving for mac n cheese shepherds pie, I would be happy to help. And then she would say, "Aww, you seem like a nice girl. Here, have one of my husband's old t-shirts!" Don't mind if I do.

Unsolicited Movie Review: Pitch Perfect
Guys, I saw Pitch Perfect today. It was great. I had heard only good things, and it certainly lived up to its reputation. Is this spoiler-y review? Maybe. I mean, it's a comedy about a cappella groups, so it's not like there was a twist ending. So, whatever.
Anyway, my main reason for seeing it was to see my spirit animal Rebel Wilson. I've decided I really wanted her to be my drunken alter-ego, but she's actually much funnier than me and I'm not very good with accents.
Also, I've got a little bit of a best friend girl crush on Anna Kendrick. Ever since she stole the show in the first Twilight movie (along with the guy that played Mike Newton...has he done anything else? Because I loved him.) and then charmed me in Up In The Air, I can't get enough of her. I also follow her on Twitter, and her tweets are rare but quite amusing.
So the movie's not going to win any Academy Awards, the pacing was about as rushed as the Goblet of Fire movie (don't get me started), but the script was great and witty and the entire cast was wonderful. The above listed ladies, as well as most of the other Bellas were so weird and wonderful. Including the creepy quiet asian.
But then, the boys. Of course I'm going to fall dangerously in love (Beyonce style) with boys in an a cappella singing movie. Because, obviously. FIRST AND FOREMOST: SKYLAR ASTIN. Skylar Astin was Georg in the OBC of Spring Awakening. I went through a pretty heavy Spring Awakening obsession phase back in college, and LOVED Skylar, he's amazing. I was excited to see him in a small role in Hamlet 2, but IMAGINE MY SURPRISE when he showed up as the romantic male lead in Pitch Perfect. Mainly because in Spring Awakening he looked like this:
And now he looks like this:
I haven't seen a transition that enjoyable since Hot!Neville exploded into my life last summer.
Ahem, sorry.
Anyway, Skylar. So great. And he just....is so adorable...and precious...and wears hoodies....and his character LOVES THE BREAKFAST CLUB. There was so much Breakfast Club love in this movie, and so much important utilization of the iconic Judd Nelson fist pump that I was literally getting emotional because pop culture is a little too important to me. I'm getting misty just thinking about it. Ahem.
Anyway, aside from him, we have Adam DeVine, who played the douche-y leader of the Treblemakers, the boy's a cappella group and the Bellas' main rival. He was hilarious, and great, and very Jack Black-y (which is a personal weakness of mine), but more importantly, I've decided I need to marry him in real life, because his last name is DeVine, and that's a fucking great last name. And I will make everyone call me Loretta, because Loretta Devine is the fucking best, and I can pretend to be a sassy black woman if I want.
And then. To anyone who's seen the movie, and knows me at all, will not be at all surprised to find that I fell very deeply in love with Jesse's roommate Benji, who loves Star Wars and close-up magic. Because of course I did. He's basically my dream man, because I've come to the recent conclusion that there is just no man in this world that is nerdy enough to be my soulmate. He wore a tshirt with a necktie screen-printed onto it to his a cappella audition, and that's very close to a tuxedo tshirt, which is my all-time number one male clothing turn-on, so, sold. And at the end of the movie? When he sang "I've Got The Magic In Me"? Bestill my heart.
Guys, it's time for me to confess that in the process of writing this "review", and googling info and pictures and stuff, I have fallen into a balck hole of obsession, and I'm listening to the soundtrack on repeat, I just keep remembering/finding out more hot guys that were in this movie and oh god what's happening to me I have far too much time on my hands right now to obsess I'm going to lose my mind xdhjbskejbgkawehbg
Ahem. Anyway. Pitch Perfect = GREAT.
THE BEST COMEDY I'VE SEEN SINCE EASY A. SO THERE.
P.S. I tried to include visual aids to keep my readers engaged. But I think I unfortunately also include too many words.

The Unemployment Diaries: Volume 1
So, first off, I'm unemployed now. I would say that's a different story for a different day, but let's just skip over it entirely.
Instead, let's chronicle the things I've accomplished over the last several days:
-Cleaned the house before my parents returned home from their New England getaway
-Made 3 delicious dinners
-Made and consumed so many apple products that I'm worried I may start shitting my pants
-Went to the gym, twice
-Showered, twice
-Made initial attempts at finding new employment
-Drank 3 cans of Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash
-Raked leaves
-Caught up on DVR
-Fell down the YouTube rabbit hole. Survived.
-Shouted at the television
-Exhausted myself
Soooo, lots of exciting stuff so far. Lots more exciting stuff on the horizon. Thinking about watching some Netflix Instant. Maybe, at some point getting another job. BUT IN THE MEANTIME, I'll be sure to keep you updated on my exciting adventures!
Probably.
