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

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
