extended diary thing / holy lucky streak batman

if you dont wanna hear about my bitchass personal life and you wanna continue thinking i have a good girl persona and dont have wild sex scroll past this for more joji and aesthetics ty

ladies and gents these past couple of weeks have been goddamn magical. i can’t describe it any other way. we need to count the blessings god have given us up untill this point in life bc frankly idk if i can keep track anymore

seeing people i thought i would never see: a domino effect of blessings:

alright so britbong crush who i mentioned in previous posts (if youre reading this: hi lmao) says hes gonna be a speaker at this tech thing. super dope and i’m supportive but also like “dude we’re gonna be in the same country but opposite sides smh” SO i tell my homegirl mikayla about this and shes like “no youre going you apply for scholarships and get there” and i’m like “fat chance also plane ticket and hotels” and shes like “idk do it anyways”. so i do that, apply for this scholarship, get in , room with my other homegirl fiona, and get my flight crowdfunded. how the hell this all fell into place perfectly i will never know but i thank god and also those gofundme-ers. yall make dreams come true.

thats only part one of this several-part story, comrades.

it was everything i imagined and more. i hung out with him. i talked with him, held hands with him, sang and rapped with him, hacked with him, played ping pong with him, ran all around the city and showed him the cutesy touristy things. also wild wild sex. never ever will forget that lmao. but yeah. thats just the TLDR.

day one was awk bc we were just getting to know our IRL selves but i think the peak was probably ping pong. just being a goofball with him and networking. he also held my hand in the lyft back to french montanas unforgettable and i wont forget that. okay lol

day two i actually got some damn sense and ditched the heels and wore flats. also lyfted instead of a 30 minute walk to the piers. rest of the day was hacking on this project we were working of there (cant name it bc it would prolly give away the conf and his name and im not gonna do that bc opsec af). i went to go drop off stuff at his place after. i’ll keep it SFW and simple by saying we ended up being late to a party last nigh bc we were too busy in his room lmao. that freaked me the fuck out tho bc he was on some “i just wanna be friends and see how this goes” bs and i was like “ehhhh do i really wanna hookup or just be straight up and say i don’t want anything but us for real”. ranted to some female friends about this at a party but by the time i was back at his place he was cool with making it legitimate. and i was over the moon.

day three my dude. (he got his first in&out!!!) we went to apple and cuddled on caltrain and swapped music. (i finally got my odwalla lmao) and then me and my fam went out to stanford to my long lost sister from the other coast. we left and took the train back and i shit you not there were fireworks out the window. bitch if this isnt a chickflick i don’t know what it is. then and i took my stuff from fi’s place to his place for uh... obvious reasons lmao. <insert lewd activities> i swear we tried to watch tv tho.

day four we coordinated outfits omg. idec if i sound cocky for a moment but i had the cutest ass outfit it was like a flowery dress and denim blouse okay ANYWAYS he looked amazing and like the only guy in the world to me and yeah lol <insert montage of running around doing touristy shit and looking badass. lombard, golden gate, ghiradelli, etc.>. i also tried boba for the first time which was cool. i got my sushirito and he got his frosted lemonade. we made it FB official then ran off to caltrain to show him google. imagine a cute ass couple riding around on google bikes and taking pics everywhere. that was us lol. we also had to call 911 on these people fighting but we’re gonna ignore that lmao. best night once we got back though. we had m&ms and white wine and watched video game reviews on youtube and cuddled. it was the most romantic thing ever. can’t even describe it, but i’ll never forget that moment. it was a perfect blend of #adulting but also just being childish and ourselves around eachother

day five worst day but it still was a damn good day bc i got to spend it with him. in&out for breakfast, saw sea lions, then went our separate ways for flights. we went to bart together before splitting off and i hugged him tight before he left and he comforted me saying he’d see me again, but when he got on his train and it left i legit started crying because i thought “damn this is it, i’m not going to see him again forever” which i know now is bs but like, its still a long time yknow?

overall 11/10 trip, makes me smile and tear up thinking about it. legit it was like a fairytale or movie or chickflick, every goofy moment too. (inb4 i go total white chick mode)

Other shit thats dope but not quite as dope as that:

new kitten named boots. hes p dope.

new job at summer camp in a week or so. also dope. scared bc uncertainty but who knows, could be better than expected.

startup got our app on the app store. i’d link but opsec.

maybe will snag a gig for the fall but idk yet.

but yeah life has been good to me. too good. new tech, new bf, new cat, new job, new success. I thank God honestly, this luck streak is too abnormal to be anything but that.

#personal #<3 #life is good

While You Were Offline: The Internet Cant Look Away From Kellyanne Conways Outfit

It’s happened! There is now a 45th President of the United States, and America is now officially in a Brave New World. Can you smell the change in the air? Are you ready, as Jack “King” Kirby once put it, for the world that’s coming? Unsurprisingly, the internet this week was focused on the inauguration of Donald John Trump, as if everything else didn’t really exist. But just because you watched it happen on Friday on both TV and Twitter doesn’t mean you know the whole story. As ever, there might have been things you missed. Here, as always, is where we come in. Friends, countrymen: These are the things from the last seven days that you need to know, but might have overlooked.

Kellyanne Conway, Who Are You Wearing?!

What Happened: Rule No. 1 of any big political event: Don’t upstage the guest of honor. Especially by wearing a particularly distracting outfit. Where It Blew Up: Twitter What Really Happened: Kellyanne Conway is a fascinating figure, and has been since her entry into the Trump campaign during the election. She comes across as somehow independent from, and an integral part of, Trumpworld, as if she’s always pursuing her own strange agenda that can occasionally diverge from what the new president wants. So perhaps we should have expected that Conway would show up to the inauguration in a particularly eye-catching ensemble:

Kellyanne Conway's inauguration outfit has made my eyes roll back so hard I am now in the past http://pic.twitter.com/4TZTJBN0mh

— Stephen Leng (@steveleng) January 20, 2017

But what was the inspiration for Conway’s ensemble? Twitter just couldn’t decide:

Who wore it better: Kellyanne Conway or Paddington Bear? http://pic.twitter.com/CP2M6fzLyD

Who wore it better? #KellyanneConway #InaugurationDay http://pic.twitter.com/n2DeXVB6AI

Why does Kellyanne Conway look like the old New England Patriots logo? http://pic.twitter.com/swgdHH53v6

My aesthetic is Kellyanne Conway revolutionary war cosplay. http://pic.twitter.com/2ZohhtTR7E

I felt hollow & devoid of joy today until Kellyanne Conway filled & replenished my spirit with pure & unadulterated pettiness #Inauguration http://pic.twitter.com/Mu1dbU8Kl1

— Monica Rose (@MonicaRoseM) January 20, 2017

Melania is wearing Ralph Lauren. KellyAnne Conway is wearing Lady Gaga

— Kate Esquivel (@djkatekc) January 20, 2017

The Takeaway: And as if the various cosplay jokes weren’t enough, it should be pointed out that the buttons on that coat require special attention.

Is this the Kellyanne Conwway coat? https://t.co/EwfOiQvaqp http://pic.twitter.com/MT3q3Ks9BS

— Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) January 20, 2017

The buttons are cats. Cats! No wonder the Internet couldn’t look away from this ‘fit.

Tweeting About Tweeting About Writing

What Happened: Donald Trump worked really, really hard on that inauguration speech, you guys. Where It Blew Up: Twitter, media reports What Really Happened: In an attempt to drive up interest in the presidential inauguration on Friday, then-President-elect Donald Trump sent out the following tweet early last week:

Writing my inaugural address at the Winter White House, Mar-a-Lago, three weeks ago. Looking forward to Friday. #Inauguration http://pic.twitter.com/S701FdTCQu

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18, 2017

There is just so much in this image that’s notable, which might be what Trump himself thought before he shared it with the world. Unfortunately, the reasons why it was considered notable might have been different from what the rest of the Internet was thinking

@realDonaldTrump that is a blank piece of paper and you're holding a closed sharpie http://pic.twitter.com/ekCcH8eTXe

— Jules Suzdaltsev (@jules_su) January 18, 2017

Well, it could be worse:

Cool pic of @realDonaldTrump writing his inaugural address. http://pic.twitter.com/ycxEftY89G

— Benjamin Siemon (@BenjaminJS) January 18, 2017

Thankfully, the latest in high-tech technology of the technical kind meant that it was possible to get a preview of what Trump was writing on that notepad, if Twitter was to be believed. (Spoilers: It wasn’t.)

Hell, even celebrities couldn’t resist:

A photo posted by Karl Urban (@karlurban) on Jan 18, 2017 at 2:03pm PST

The fact that social media was roasting the tweet didn’t go entirely unnoticed, but that’s not to say that the media wasn’t that desk he’s sitting at appears to belong to the receptionist at Mar-A-Lago. (Still, he really did write the speech, apparently.) The Takeaway: Also, did anyone notice that thing about Mar-A-Lago being “the Winter White House”? Is that a thing now?

Why Didn’t Kanye West Perform at the Inauguration? He Wasn’t Asked

What Happened: Considering the trouble the Trump team had in finding people to perform during the inauguration, one would think they might turn to Trump’s pal Kanye West, right? Wrong. Where It Blew Up: Twitter, media reports What Really Happened: Ahead of Friday’s big day, the question on many lips was “What the hell is going on with the musical entertainment at the inauguration?” After all, even the Bruce Springsteen band dropped out this week, following Jennifer Holliday’s pulling out after

Do u think Kanye will perform at trumps inauguration

— Kilo Tango (@Ktttttttttttttt) January 9, 2017

Ah, yes! Kanye! The man who , with a Trump spokesman saying, “He considers himself a friend of the president-elect, but it’s not the venue. The venue we have for entertainment is filled out, it’s perfect, it’s going to be typically and traditionally American, and Kanye is a great guy but we just haven’t asked him to perform.”

That statement—and, particularly, the idea that Kanye wasn’t “typically and traditionally American”— generated a lot coverage in the media, and on Twitter, too:

they have asked *everybody* to come to this sad ass inauguration but kanye aint good enough? whew. hope the cooning was worth it.

— king crissle (@crissles) January 19, 2017

Kanye not invited to play the inauguration because he isn't 'traditionally American' but they are having Michael Flatley riverdance. Okay.

— Matt Haig (@matthaig1) January 19, 2017

Wait so Kanye was just being used & played for a sucker by Trump all along? Boy, I sure hope Don wasn't doing that to any other supporters.

— John Fugelsang (@JohnFugelsang) January 19, 2017

trump: makes one black friend trump: you can't come to my parties tho https://t.co/JFWiHMs2H3

— sunflower queen (@christielock) January 20, 2017

The Takeaway: Of course, for some, there was a potential upside in the snub:

I hope Kanye runs on the stage and interrupts by saying Obama had the best inauguration ever! #Inauguration

— devon sawa (@DevonESawa) January 19, 2017

A Poem for Trump

What Happened: It’s rare that poetry makes the news. This story might reveal why. Where It Blew Up: Twitter, media reports What Really Happened: This one is both strange and wonderful. The Scotsman, which as the name suggests, is a Scottish newspaper, ran a report early this week about a poem written by an American writer named Joseph Charles MacKenzie celebrating Donald Trump’s rise to power from the perspective of his Scottish roots. (Trump’s mother Mary was Scottish.) The poem was well, it opens with “With purpose and strength he came down from his tower/To snatch from a tyrant his ill-gotten power,” and includes this excerpt:

“But for all his great wisdom, the braw gallant man Is matched by his children, the handsome Trump clan, And the flower of Europe, Melania the fair, Adds a luster and grace with her long flowing hair.”

That should give you an idea of the quality of the poem. Twitter was, obviously, impressed:

Disappointed Trump did not select my poem for the Inauguration:

Can you believe this Shit, because this is some shit I cannot believe.

— David Connerley Nahm (@DCNahm) January 17, 2017

I just read Trump's inauguration poem. It is possibly the worst poem I have ever read. Even as doggerel, it's HORRIBLE.

— Jennifer de Guzman (@Jennifer_deG) January 17, 2017

Trump to Inaugural Poet:

"Dude, write a poem that makes everybody remember why they hate poems."

— Airea D. Matthews (@aireadee) January 17, 2017

Pretty soon, the media started get excited. (Well, maybe horrified.) Meanwhile, the mention at one point in the poem of “hapless old harridans” in reference to women opposed to Trump got some readers particularly interested:

BRB, changing my name to "hapless harridan" https://t.co/Pnv0gYKfZc

— Ginger Justice (@SuziSteffen) January 17, 2017

I'm getting "hapless old harridan" added to my business cards. https://t.co/snPreqZuDv

— Kathleen Crowther (@Sacrobosco2013) January 17, 2017

Meanwhile, the Political Elite were somewhat confused by the whole thing:

THIS CANNOT BE TRUE PLEASE TELL ME THIS ISN'T TRUE. https://t.co/dMdj1kMO2W

— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) January 17, 2017

Funny story: It wasn’t real. Or, at least, not as reported. As

Meanwhile, at the Confirmation Hearings…

What Happened: Hearings for cabinet positions continued last week, offering all kinds of revelations to the general public. Including the surprise revelation of an all-new threat to school kids. Where It Blew Up: Twitter, media reports What Really Happened: But that’s enough about Friday’s shenanigans! There were, after all, other shenanigans to enjoy this week, such as the confirmation hearings for Betsy DeVos, nominated for the position of education secretary on Tuesday. Sure, plenty of people were skeptical that someone who wants public funds diverted to religious schools wouldn’t be the best person for the gig, but surely she would do a good job at her confirmation hearing, right?

Betsy DeVos refuses to say guns shouldnt be in schools. Cites grizzly bear protection.

No, for real.

"We need guns in schools to defend ourselves from grizzly bears." Thank you, @BetsyDeVos

#BetsyDeVos must not know 33,000 Americans are shot and killed annually. Grizzly bears kill maybe 3 Americans annually. #DeVosHearing https://t.co/HRDdOH8KyA

OK, OK. But that’s Twitter, and Twitter hates everything. What does the rest of the world think?

Turns everyone bombed. The Takeaway: Probably this?

I think the grizzly bear would make a better Secretary of Education than Betsy DeVos #DeVosHearing
