Quarter Life Crisis Part One: Celebrity Envy

So I'm 24 right now... which means everything is scary. I'm old enough to do things like drink and be employed and you know... do things, but I'm still too young for people to really take me seriously. And its like I just finally got done with school and now I feel like death is creeping slowly... very slowly but still its still like Time and The Grim Reaper or whoever are having lunch and they're like "You're too old for that honey. Contribute to society." So here I am. Contributing.

And I wasn't that freaked out, but I was listening to Lady Gaga and I was thinking of high school and stuff and I was like "wasn't I surprised by her age when I was in high school? Didn't I find out she's 24 and thought that was old? Aren't I 24 now?" I googled and then checked my birth certificate and it is in fact sadly true. I am in fact 24 and Lady Gaga was also 24 when Born This Way came out.

And I was like... wow. I used to think she was old but she's my age? And she had an amazing cd come out when she was this age? She's my age? I mean not now, she's 5 years older than me, but the song I was listening to at the time was made by someone my age? Why don't I have enough life experience to relate to this? Why don't I have her money? Can I be on American Horror Story in 5 more years. Will American Horror Story even be on in 5 years? What will it be???? American Horror Story: Why Are We Casting Randos? Will I be playing Jessica Lange's part? WILL I BE JESSICA LANGE'S AGE IN 5 YEARS????? No... But doesn't it say something that they put a 29 year old in Jessica Lange's role? Well... I guess they wrote it for a 29 year old. They're good writers at AHS. Maybe I can write this crazy season.

Also not only was she my age when Born This Way came out... she was even younger than that when her previous album came out. She was 21! My The Fame and The Fame Monster years are behind me! Now all I have is Art Pop and Cheek to Cheek... which are fine. Lol. Its Lady Gaga, she's just phenomenal.

But yeah... I'm probably too old to be a pop star now. Not that I ever was going to be one, I mean I kind of suck at singing in front of people and dancing and writing songs... but you know. I was at least in the age group that I could have been the next Gaga... but Gaga isn't going anywhere and I'm not going to dethrone her.

 I guess I will dethrone Tina Fey. You here that Tina Fey, I'm coming after you. No, I'm just kidding Ms. Fey... I love you and respect you more than I respect most humans. You are one of the best humans in the world and I will serve my life honoring you and hoping that we are somehow related.

But yeah. Then I was like "Well I like David Bowie better. How old was he when The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust came out. Surely he was wayyy older than me right?" WRONG! He was 25. 25! That's one year away! So I have my Born this way year and then The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust? Whattt? Can't there be a buffer year or something.

So... yeah. Its not like I was trying to be a rock star... but I feel like my window for rock-stardom has passed. So long. Good thing I didn't want it anyway.

Bye

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
