I've been playing this on repeat for the past few days and it still hasn't gotten old. Enjoy:

Snooki the outlaw...
Awwww, she's even adorable in her mugshots!
Fun fact? Right before Snooki was arrested for being drunk in public and/or disorderly conduct, she fell off a bike. Since the official video of the incident was removed for copyright infringement, here is a glorious reenactment of the blessed event:
Love it.

"Theyyyy're heeerrrre...."
I AM SO MOTHER F'ING EXCITED FOR THE SEASON TWO PREMIERE OF JERSEY SHORE THAT I CAN'T NOT PULL A KANYE AND TYPE IN ALL CAPS. SO. F'ING. EXCITED.
For those of you not quite up to speed on the lives and times of our seven* favorite tanned, (mostly) toned, and (occasionally) poufed guidos and guidettes, here's Gawker's guide to to everything you need to know to make the most of your JShore 2 viewing experience on this fine evening.
Best part of the guide? When talking about JWOWW's love life, Gawker states the following: "Last season she had a boyfriend, but that didn't stop her from touching DJ Paulie's D."
Priceless, especially since Pauly's D piece is pierced. No really, it is, and it's horrifying.
Also, there's this (watch the whole this to see the infamous Snooki punch):
And this:
And, for those of you who want to see the Snooki punch from every possible angle:
*Please note that I said "seven" above. This is because Angelina is not tanned, toned, or poufed, nor does she count as anyone's favorite anything. Just keep in mind that she pretty much sucks and you'll be a-okay.
I can't fucking wait.

"I'm on a horse..."
Ohhhhhh friends, do I have a fab-u-lous Friday afternoon story for you! While I'm writing it up in this here blog for you, please enjoy the following internet selections to keep you boredom at bay:
1. Isaiah Mustafa, aka the Old Spice man, as your voicemail greeting. And a link to his very intriguing Wikipedia page.
2. In addition, here is the just-released trailer for the movie, "The Town," which was filmed on location in Boston. As a resident of the North End, I often came home to flyers taped on my building with detailed filming schedules of when and where they'd be having car chases and errant explosions, and not to freak out when there was a large boom and a car speeding away. Fun facts? the building they pretend is a bank is actually a very nice and nearly brand new laundromat, and the street the cars speed up throughout the trailer? That's Margaret Street, where I lived when I first moved to Boston three years ago.
Also filmed on Margaret Street? Try the Boy Like Girls video for Hero/Heroine. I was actually home that day (a hungover Sunday) and heard this ridiculous hipster singing the same song over and over again. I was finally so annoyed that I threw on some real people clothes (aka not my dress from the night before), and stormed out of my building, smack into a massive video camera on a rolling track. I apologized to the guy behind the lens and wandered off to run some errands before returning and realizing that this wasn't some no-budget student film being taped. I mingled with the band for a bit, which was fun because I'd never heard of them and wasn't THAT fangirl. It turns out that the lead singer was sick and downing dayquil like is was his job, and he was just as unhappy doing 32 takes as I was listening to him. Overall, he was a very cool guy and the band couldn't have been nicer.
If you watch the video, look out for the scenes with the cab parked on a slight hill where the lead guy is saying goodbye to his girlfriend, because that's Margaret Street again! Very exciting stuff.
Anyway, that's it for now if I have a prayer of getting Wednesday night's ridiculousness posted before you all clock out for the day...

Tom & Jerry
So, as I mentioned in a recent post, Tom (which I guess makes me Jerry), has reappeared in my life as of late, which reminded me that I never told all of you about our second run-in at Shaw's...oh yes my friends, there was indeed a second wrinkle in the story.
Brief summary of the saga up until run-in #2 for those of you who missed the entire thing:
Last December, I went out with a boy named Tom from Match.com, and we had the best date of all time. We met up and had dinner at the Lower Depths before going to The Script Concert at the House of Blues, after which we shut down Jillian's. During the two weeks following the date, Tom and I chatted pretty much daily, and he told me that he was excited to hang out again. And....then he fell off the face of the earth.
I was furious, but eventually got over it...until I ran into him when I was grocery shopping with Ali. We talked for a bit, worked things out, and he told me that he'd begun exclusively dating a girl that he started seeing around the time we met. After a bit, we decided to part ways, and he told me that he was "happy that the lines of communication were now open."
A week or two later, I shot him an email thanking him for recommending a website to me (universalhub.com), to which he never responded. Seething mad and feeling duped, I waited a week and then sent him a text message saying, "Glad to see you were so sincere about keeping in touch..."
The very next night, Ali and I found ourselves back at Shaw's, and imagine who I looked up to find right in front of me in the produce section? Yup, you guessed it.
I looked him in the eye and before he could say anything I (basically) yelled, "Hey Ali, this is the boy who doesn't know how to respond to emails!"
If our words had been silverware....haha
At this point, Ali took it upon herself to leave the banana section of the store and let us hash it out ourselves. As it turns out, Tom and his girlfriend had traveled to Portsmouth, NH, the weekend before to celebrate Valentine's Day and had nearly died in a freak carbon-monoxide accident at the hotel. Sadly, their relationship had not survived the incident...
Like last time, we talked for a little while, and when we were done, he said, "who knows, maybe I'll facebook friend you." I said sure, but didn't really believe it would happen after our last run-in and what he'd said about wanting to keep in touch, so I brushed it off and felt good about our "encounter" as what it was, just a chance run-in that provided some answers.
Cut to a few weeks ago, when I opened up my gmail to find a friend request from the man himself. Since then, we've spoken a few times and reminisced about the lovely times we spent verbally sparring in the checkout line/produce section. The other night, I needed his take on my date from last week (more on that in the next post), and gave him a call. He provided me some excellent insight, and then told me something fascinating...
Apparently, his younger sister had a radio show in college (she graduated this past May) and after we went on our date, he sent her a link to my blog. After the first Shaw's incident, she had two comedians on her show, one of whom is a (likely) closeted gay guy, and they did a dramatic reading of my initial blogpost about Tom. He told me that they'd actually asked for my contact info so they could have me call into the show and ask me random questions, as some form of character study, but he told them it would be a) too invasive and b) too fresh since the incident had JUST happened. I'm not gonna lie, I wishwishwish he'd caved to them, because I would have LOVED that.
Anyway, it's great to be on not only speaking terms, but actual "I need your advice, call meeee" terms with both Tom and Jim. I feel like as much shit as I've put myself through in the past few years, in terms of loving and dating in the city, I've managed to surround myself with a great group of friends, and some former love interests, who seem to always have my back, and I really think that's no small feat. When things happen in my life, especially with regard to guys, I tend to have a lot of very strong emotions (anger, sadness) for a few days, during which I lean heavily on my support system, and then I'm over it. This is something that you'll see evidenced in the next post, in which I discuss my date from last week...
Back in a few.

Jacob Black, still a WILF...
Hey friends! Hope you guys all had lovely fourth of July weekends! I spent some time with my extended family in Maine and then a few days with family friends at my lake house. All in all, it was a really fun and relaxing weekend.
Upon my return to the city, Ali dragged Lauren and I, kicking and screaming (okay, so maybe we went willingly...), to see Twilight: Eclipse. As someone who's pretty anti-Twihardness as a whole, I have to say, I very much enjoyed it, though I think that was mostly due to a certain werewolves expertly sculpted abs...behold the glory:
Oh heyyyyy...
That's interesting, these jorts actually extend past his knees....could they be...real, live jeans?

Oh heyyyyy...
That's interesting, these jorts actually extend past his knees....could they be...real, live jeans?The fact that I don't even like super ripped guys in real life is a testament to how dreamy Taylor Lautner's become since his early brush with stardom as a member of the rival family in "Cheaper by the Dozen 2." Oh yeah, I went there.
Honestly though, I still don't understand why anyone would pick Edward over Jake. I mean, forget the guys themselves, and let's focus on their families for a second. Sure the Cullens glitter in the sun, but they don't seem like very much fun, what with their errant visions and constant vigilantism. The werewolves on the other hand...now they're my kind of people. Bonfires, ghost stories, and running willy nilly through the woods? Morphing from hot, tan menfolk to big, beaslty werewolves? Sure trumps Edward, who seems to just morph from a glittery emo kid to even more of a pasty pansy.
Anyway, if you're a lady (or the gay), then I highly recommend you go see this cinematic "masterpiece" asap, if only to gawk at TayTay for two glorious hours and, you know, see what all of the hype is about. Go HERE if you'd like to read last November's review of/reaction to "New Moon," with even more pho-tos of this hottiehothottie.
Enjoy!

Happy 4th of July weekend everyone!
Tomorrow morning I'll be heading up to Maine and NH for sun and fun-filled weekend with some of my favorite people. To get ready for the awesomeness to come, I've been listening to the following songs on repeat...please enjoy a glimpse into my summer mix:
Hope you guys have a great time this weekend, whatever your plans may be!
XOXO - Christine
Hope you guys have a great time this weekend, whatever your plans may be!XOXO - Christine
Oh technology....
Hey friends, hope everyone's as pumped as I am for this weekend! I keep playing this song on repeat, since it's so summery, with it's talk of sharks and water and whatnot...enjoy:
Also, as you can see from last night's drunk post, I clearly need Google beer goggles on every piece of technology I own/website I frequent....thank god I will be in the lake/on the beach all weekend and won't feel the urge to drunkenly talk to EVERYONE haha.
Unfortunately for you nosy friends, I've since deleted the date photo from last night's post, mostly because a) it was not flattering and b) drunk me apparently doesn't respect privacy, but sober me does. To make up for it, here's a photo of the view from our seats at Fenway, thanks again to Teague for the tickets:

Loge seats behind home plate? I'll take it.
Okay, I think that's about all I had to say on this fine morning...only a few hours and a trip to IKEA separate me from a weekend full of sun, fun, family, and friends!
See you kids back here in a few days...

I love my life, slash I am awesome 2.0
FYI, I am shitfaced. This is what happens when you meet up with your friends at 7PM for some $3 per drink triple-fisting action.
Things I have done/realized in the past four hours:
I drank 4 Coors Lights and then remembered that I am awesome (Editor's Note: Don't worry, I never actually forgot that I was, but the degree to which I am a ridiculous human being just happened to hit me around this time).
I may or may not have hit on a member of the Babson class of 2011. In my defense, he was wearing plaid and looked at least 23. (Editor's Note: This was a pretty hilarious exchange. He was wearing a plaid shirt and was furious that I called it flannel. He then proceeded to make a random girl and I pet it, tricking us into hitting on him. Cool times.)
I FB chatted like 17,000 (okay, three...) people and uploaded a bunch of awesome photos after taking down many beers and talking on the phone with Tom of Script fame about our respective new jobs. (Editor's Note: FYI, Tom friended me the other week and we've been chatting occasionally, mostly because we're in the same field and partly because we always did have great talks. Apologies for not mentioning this sooner. Also, Jim and I had a lovely convo and I'm glad to see that we can be friends.)
Today was awesome and I am beyond excited to spend the next two months prepping for the fall, hanging out with my friends, and enjoying the gorgeous weather. Things are good, and despite the craziness of the past year, I'm happy and pretty thrilled about life in general.

Insomnia finally pays off...
These videos are both awesome, for entirely different reasons. First up? Lil Wayne's "Knockout," featuring everyone's favorite, Nicki Minaj:
And, without further adieu, Enrique Iglesias's "I Like It," featuring Pit Bull and the cast of Jersey Shore. Unbelievable.
Alright, time for bed!

Music Monday
Until a few days ago, I had never heard of the Silversun Pickups, but now it seems like they're everywhere, including the WFNX Clam Bake that I opted out of in favor of a lake weekend with the girls. According to a guy I know who went, they were "amazing." After some rooting around on these here internets, I've decided that the following is my favorite song of theirs:
Next we, predictably, have "Billionaire" from Travie McCoy, in which he takes shots at ex-girlfriend, Katy Perry, in the line "it's been a few months since I've been single, so you can call be 'Travie Claus' minus the hoho." Brilliant.
And, just because it's summer:
Alright, I'm off to see "Grown Ups" with Ali and the boys!

Christine explains it all.
Helloooooo friends!
So, I was just sitting on my balcony, perusing my normal blogroll and enjoying the delicious heat when I came across the following post on "Hyperbole and a Half":
This is Why I'll Never be an Adult
In case you don't feel like reading the entire post, or laughing at the incredible illustrations accompanying it, the basic point is this: Life is full of responsibilities, and when too many of them stack up, people our age tend to shut down and procrastinate instead of tackling the tough stuff. This is exactly what I've been doing for years, and it's the worst habit I have. I've been working hard to change this, and become better at handling life in general, but I sometimes struggle when there are too many moving pieces involved.
For example, I began this blog in December 2008, when I was extremely single and genuinely loving it. Over the past year and a half, I've evolved from a young twenty-something who loved getting wild and making poor choices, to a slightly wiser 24-year old, who still loves to party, but is ready to end wild nights with one good, solid guy.
Since its inception, this blog has detailed the majority of my successes and failures, mainly in the romance department. While this isn't a problem when I want to rant about a particularly awkward encounter, or gloat about an awesome date, it becomes significantly more complicated when I begin to see potential in someone.
Should I gush about how great they are, only to be embarrassed if things go awry? Should I go back and edit my older posts so that the boys I date don't have to read about my old man friends when I eventually show them the blog? Am I willing to give up the cathartic release I feel when I write in order to make an attempt at a blog-free relationship? How important is this blog to who I am, at the core, and how early should it be revealed? Is it a breach of trust to blog about someone I date without telling them?
These are the questions that have stopped me from posting about the random Coast Guard boy I made out with a few weeks ago, or the Irish boy that I dated at the beginning of June, or any of the new guys that I see potential in right now. This isn't to say that this blog is all about boys and potential relationships, because my day-to-day life is focused on everything but (landing a job, getting in shape, enjoying the weather), but it seems like the majority of my stories revolve around the hot mess that is my life, and I honestly don't know how appealing that makes me to someone who's interested in dating me, and therefore taking me seriously.
See, life is complicated! Alright, it's time for me to sign off and tackle some tough stuff so I can get back to blogging later....
Until then, as always,
XOXO - Christine

LET'S GO CELTICS! BEAT LA!!
Apologies for going dark the past two weeks. Quick life updates: I went on four first dates the week before last. Felt very blah about three of the guys, have continued seeing the fourth, who is pretty awesome and from Ireland. Am still match.comming and will let you know how that goes. Have also been going to Sox games (3 in the past two weeks!), and saw "Get Him to The Greek," which was fucking hilarious.
Now, please enjoy this incredible Game 7 pump-up video:
More to come tomorrow/Saturday, once I recover from the madness that will be the Game 7 shitshow tonight! Bring it Lakers.
