McDonalds, MTV, $40 Parking, Forever XXI, TO = Epic Day!

Alrighty, so today was absolutely amazing and I'm beyond exhausted, but I remembered I promised some people a play by play of the day so here we go:

The day started at 9:30 ish when mother dear, Nicole and I went to McDonalds for breaky. After this, the day officially began!

We ventured to good ol' Toronto where we wondered down the streets and looked at all the "high-end" (expensive) stores. We had a few hours to kill before MTV time. In our time killing we decided to go in just to see what it was like... thing is THE PLACE IS ON MAD LOCK DOWN!!! There's a door that looks like a huge mirror (it's a two way mirror so intense security can stare you down before you go in). Apparently we looked lost and some guy offered to help us out. Relevance: This guy is Johnny from MTV News- too bad we didn't realized this until after he left.


2 hours, and 6 sore feet later we went back to MTV studios to wait in what looks like a holding area of a prison. Super sketch: no one talks, hard core security, locks of EVERYTHING! They led us down to the basement (yeah a basement) to do the audition where I found my good buddy (yes we're friends now) Johnny! Haha we chatted for a solid, 3 seconds before he had to run off to do his job... Then it was time for the audition, which really was exactly like the Aftershow. They threw out some topics, we discuss. Then it was done... Oh and while I'm discussing the awesomeness of Ke$ha and what a douchebag John Mayor is, Nicole got to meet PAUL THE INTERN!! Yes I'm jealous, but at least we can say we met celebs today ha ha. Now, TIME FOR SHOPPING!!

Ventured down to the Eaton Centre, to then find Forever XXI... lots of wondering, lots of money spending, lots of energy. We went to the sketchiest pizza place in the food court-- random homeless people asking for money, stupid girl not understanding what we're ordering, pizza that looked like vomit on paper... oh yeah and this "pizza" wasn't cheap. We made multiple laps around the mall till it was time for... FOREVER XXI!!! AHH!!! We get to the motherland of all thing stylish and affordable, shed a tear in happiness, and spent our life savings on their goodness. Ok maybe, not our life savings, but definitely our last paycheck... and then some. Unfortunately we didn't get everything on our Forever XXI wish list, so Nicole and I will have to make a trip back ASAP!

Upon leaving Forever XXI, we made several more laps of the mall, saw an unbelievably attractive guy at Hollister, made some friends in Best Buy and American Eagle, and spend a solid hour looking for the perfect gift for our good friend Steve! After much thoughtful shopping, we found his gift- he'll get it tomorrow...

After purchasing Steven's gift, it was time to go. I mean honestly it's been about 12 hours since we left home! We're tired, and broke!!! We pay for parking again (and I never really appreciated my city till now- THANK YOU WATERLOO FOR THE FREE PARKING!!!!) and ventured back to Waterloo. The GPS (I like to call her Gypsy) took a good 30 minutes to find a signal, so luckily we knew our way back.

Oh and since I forgot about it the past two weeks, and we heard it and "awed" all day, the song of the day is Today was a Fairytale by Taylor Swift. Cutest song ever!!!

So all in all the trip was a huge success!! Made new friends, met celebs, spent all our money, made some memories :) AMAZING!! And whether or not I get this gig with MTV, it was an awesome experience. Best day trip... EVER!!

Now I am beyond exhausted, and I actually need to continue shopping tomorrow morning so good night world :)

1 Down, 11 to Go: Hello February

1 Down, 11 to Go: Hello February

Alright, so 2010 is old news. It's no longer January, and now's the time (if you have not already) to get into the swing of things.

With a new month comes a new goal. This month: SAVE MONEY!!! And the number one way to save money? STOP GOING TO WALMART!!! Seriously, I am there everyday and each time I spend atleast $30-- this has got to stop. I probably will still go to Walmart, but I've got to stop the spending.. we'll see how it goes.

As for the life updates, there are 22 days till my trip to Toronto! I am beyond stoked! Even if I don't get the job at MTV, I'm stoked for Forever XXI and GLITTER. -side note, whoever has good tips on how to wear glitter make up, let me know :)-

Lately I've been doing a super fun "game"- something I used to do in like grade.. 5? MAD LIBS! Who needs crosswords, word searches or sudoku when you've got Mad Libs. You can use the same story, switch up your adjectives and nouns and you've got a totally new story. And as an added bonus: you get to think back to the second grade when you learned what adverbs actually are Ha ha. They're great- EVERYONE, DO MADE LIBS! And send me the coolest/craziest ones you do. They are epic!
