Young Grasshopper

On Saturday, I had my first belt testing for Taekwondo. I am proud to say that I am now a yellow belt! It only took me four months. Watch out Jennifer Garner! On a crappier note, yesterday I was in my first accident. I was stopped on an exit ramp off the 405 and a man rear-ended me. He was very nice. (well, it was his fault.) My bumper was the only thing damaged, and never of us were hurt. I cried for about 30 minutes straight. The weird things were:
a) we both had insurance and it was the same carrier(strange for california)
b) I had just left the Honda place because I had a minor thing fixed on my car.
c) the guy lives on the same street that we applied for a house on. I hope that's a sign that we are going to get it.

Liquid courage

I have this ability to talk to anyone, no matter who they are despite the fact that I don't know them. That is if I have had a couple of drinks. That being said.

I was at an event for Playboy(don't ask) and I saw Jared Padelecki (house of wax, New York Minute) and so I decided to say hello and tell him that i worked his press thingy for house of wax. He was polite and introduced himself, even though I know he thought I was crazy and uninteresting (little does he know). Then I turn around and see Jenson Ackles (eric brady from Day of our lives, Dawson's Creek) and remind him of the time we played fusbol in Wilmington, NC. He pretended to remember although I doubt he does. And the other week, I chatted with Jason Statham (the Transporter, Lock Stock) about how much I love my taekwondo classes. So, kudos to celebrites for humoring me when I strike up conversations they probably don't want to have.

Pretty Pictures

I love to take pictures. And sometimes, I even do a good job. I got some friends of mine to let me dress them up and even do a little fun make-up last weekend and snap a few pictures. We went to Leo Carillo, a beach just north of Malibu. Despite the families and couples starring at us during the shoot, we had a really good time. I am glad to say I was happy with the results. And I am pretty sure the models were too. You can see some of the pictures on my webpage. But here's one of my favorites.

Family Values

I always believed in love at first sight, but it has never really happened to me. Until I met my nephew Ryan. When I flew home to me the little bugger, he was 4 weeks old. The minute I held him, I loved him. It's odd how a complete stranger could make me feel that way. Yes, I know he's a cute little baby and everyone loves a cute little baby, but it was different. I felt the same way the instant I held my niece Camden as well. (Did I just write "as well"?) The weird thing was, unlike most women, it DID NOT make me want kids of my own. I just love them unconditionally. Having a close relationship with my sisters has an affect on how I feel about their children. I wish everyone could be an Aunt. So the moral of the story is: Have more than one kid. A. Its great to have siblings. They team up with you against your parents. B. Siblings = nieces and nephews = happiness.
