I'm getting really bad at this

Dear Everyone,
I would like you all to know that my life is going super well these days. I have a new job (receptionist at the salon I go to- yay!!!!) and there is a new guy in my life. It's a very exciting time for everybody involved. This new guy looks exactly like Ron Weasley. Is that not the best or what???????? He's also very nice and not at all like the soul sucking Dementor that once haunted my life. ALSO that little noodle #9 has been here for the past two weeks!! It has been delightful to spend so much time with my little sister. Also it has been REALLY nice to have someone watch Pretty Liars and Degrassi: Now or Never with. Which brings me to my next point: D:NON is doing great things to my tv! But there is not nearly enough Sav yet...really hoping they get on that. In other news: Everybody needs to listen to Christina Perri's album. The entire thing. I'm not kidding. Go now and do this.That is all.


Nico out!

I'm baaaaack!!!

And I'm doing super well thank you very much! I have returned to my bloggo after a much needed break. BEDM was really too much for me. I have returned to The Great North after a week in NJ. It was one exhausting week, let me tell you. I spent the holiday weekend down in Seaside with my lady friends and it was CRAZY! There are really no words. There was dancing, drinking, more dancing, more drinking, celebrity sightings (Jersey Shore cast yesssssss) and somewhere in there we actually spent time on the beach. I will say though that as amazing and fun as this weekend was, nothing is more important than My Night With Meg Cabot. I capitalized that because it makes it seem more official. What really happened is that I went to a bookstore (that was frankly too small to host an author as fabulous as Meg)and listened to Meg Cabot (my idol in absolutely everything I do) talk about what it is like to be a writer. I mean it was really about what it's like for HER to be a writer because let's face it, it's different for everybody. Let me tell you something about Meg Cabot, she is FANTASTIC. Absolutely everything I imagined her to be which was shocking really because you're not really supposed to actually meet your idols, seeing as they usually let you down. But not Meg. Listening to her speak about her writing and life in general was like listening to myself. No joke, I feel like we should be best friends. One day. Anyway, I got to ask her a question and I nearly passed out I was so nervous. I didn't realize how nervous I was about meting her until I opened my mouth to talk and could barely hear myself speaking over the obnoxiously loud thumping of my heart and the blood rushing to my head. Just reread that part and want to clarify something for you 7 (7 of you? Where did you all come from??)I am not in love with Meg Cabot. I just worship her. Lots. Anyway, I was super sneaky because I asked her if it was hard for her to hand over her work to people who adapt her books into screenplays (she's done it several times, 2 movies, 1 M4TV movie, and a television series...she's phenomenal) and she said that it wasn't hard because she always loves seeing someone elses interpretation of her stories. This is fantastic news to me because I really want to do that with one of her books, Boy Meets Girl, (which I had her sign) and little does Ms. Cabot know she basically just gave me permission to do it. Btdubbz, the message she wrote in my book was "For Nicolette, You Rule! Meg Cabot" and guess what guys? I DO rule!

this weekend

was delightful. Cavanator, Sistah #1 and I all went out last night. There was beer,music, dancing, and other activities. It was the most fun I've had in a while and it restored my confidence which to be perfectly honest, I've been lacking lately. 

I FINALLY read Tina Fey's "Bossypants" last week. Loved it! The best part (don't worry I'm not ruining anything) was when she took a picture of herself all glammed up and compared it to another picture of herself when she looks like her normal self. I know I say it a lot but she and I really are so much alike. Because lately I've been thinking, what do you do when you want to show the world this person:

but in reality you feel a lot more like this person:

how do you merge the two??? food for thought. 

nico out.

THINGS I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO:

in no particular order...

• people telling me how slammin my new haircut is (hint, it's a-freaking-dorable
• fourth of july weekend in seaside with mah ladies!!! we're gonna *trash it up big time.
• meeting meg cabot my favorite author in the whole entire world.
• MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!
• MY BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!!!!!!!! (the two are completely different things)
• the trampoline that will soon be entering my life, thus proving moving to the Great North was the best thing I could've done.
• the family trip to disney world in august!

• the Tri (now 5) Wizard tourney!

*trash it up is NOT the same as "slut it up." just to clarify, i will not be slutting it up.

BEDM IS OVER!

And I'm celebrating by writing a new post...lamer. Actually GREAT NEWS I just sent off my first 6 pages to jonpaiz!!!!! I hope he loves it, but he probably won't. It's going to be too long. That's what he'll have a problem with but WHATEVAH! I'm just so excited to be writing for realsies again!!!!

memorial day!!!

Our Memorial Day was great! We went to the parade (where there were no marching bands due to the weather. THAT was a disappointment.) and saw many, many puppies dressed in their patriotic gear! There is very little that I love more than that. We then went home, had a big cookout, and drank poolside all the day long. I of course got burnt. BUT it was not nearly as bad as I had expected it to be so that was nice. I am however, covered in bug bites so that part sucks. But still, it was a great day so it was worth it.

saturday

Saturday night was the most ridiculous night I have had in the Great North. Red was here (YAY!!) and we were planning on meeting a few of my coworkers at this place called Teddy's. Now, not being from around here I had no idea that Teddy's should really be named "Place where old people go to escape their great grandchildren." That's how old these people were. The ones who were old enough to be my dad were waaay too young to be at this place. There were way too many sequins covering bra-less boobs for this age group. So Red and I left. And good thing we did because when we got to this other bar, we found one cute guy (and his cute but terribly obnoxious wingman) and left with some digits. Overall I'd say the night ended up in a much better place than where it started.
