Why do I always have Journey stuck in my head?

Ah man, just woke up from another nap. I guess that's how I roll now, getting little sleep in the night and lolling my eyes around in my Business law class until he lets us out. Fun summer so far.

So I read this on Egotastic:
"So, I was out on the town the other night, hanging out with a pal, and I noticed something. There was an inordinate number of girls wearing leggings. A lot of leopard print long shirts, and black leggings. I think I saw at least 20 girls in leggings, and one thing was true about all of them. They looked ridiculous.
I don't know who started this stupid trend, but I do know who popularised it. Celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Sienna Miller have done nothing to improve the fashion sense of young women everywhere, by propogating this annoying trend. And now, Jessica Alba is making it worse.
Jessica Alba looks stupid wearing leggings. There I said it. The three-quarter length leggings are this year's Ugg boot, and are just as dumb. Why on earth would you want to go and ruin a perfectly cute dress, by wearing ugly black leggings underneath?
To all the girls who read this blog, stop wearing leggings. If you're doing it because you think the latest trends will impress us guys, you're wrong. We think it's dumb. "

It makes me wonder how long it will take until leggings get really popular here and I start wearing them, all the while hoping that no one will reference any of these posts and call me a hypocrite.
(I had a picture of Jessica to supplement this, but it was too big and wouldnt upload. You're going to have to imagine what she looks like in a polka dot dress and leggings. She's still hot, it's depressing.)

In news of the really, really fucking weird, Pete Doherty squirted some of his own blood out of a syringe at a MTV news crew while being interviewed. I mean, really? That guy probably has HIV twice. If you don't know who Pete Doherty is, he dated Kate Moss through her whole "Cocaine Kate" news blitz, and is in the English band "Babyshambles". Not only is he completely crazy, injecting himself and others with Heroin, but he is also a big time creep. He showed up at his last show in a wig, dress, tights and a red bra and performed entirely in drag (apparently after smoking crack rocks on the side of the stage). I'm finding it hard to care about this guy, (I guess because I'm not English or attracted to crazies) yet increasingly harder to look away.







This is one of many pictures of Mandy Moore in the most recent issue of Elle magazine. I guess she wants to be taken more seriously, and the way to do that is to look as emo as possible. But honestly, I freaking love her and think she's gorgeous.

Oh, so who wants to get a little scared? Apparently they have found the bubonic plague in mice in national parks in Utah and Colorado. Um... maybe Zombies shouldn't be #2 on my list of "what scares Whitney most"...

Speaking of lists, I found the COOOOOLEST thing on Google. It's called Google Trend Lab and you can compare hits on trends on the internet. Apparently there are more hits on Tornadoes vs. Zombies (my two worst fears) but Paris Hilton is still more popular than Lindsay Lohan.

Well, I have to study for my Accounting quiz at some point here, so I guess I'll just go and watch 800 episodes of Friends until I get bored enough to do it.

Song of the day: "Hands" by Mrs. John Soda

I'm out.
