Okay, I remember why I love episode 12. It’s because three of my best friends are all in it even though they all visited me months apart from one another.

Dave is the first of my friends shown. That clip of my giving him a tour of the house actually took place the first week we moved in. The fact that Dave is shown on the Real World is much more ironic and unexpected than you all know as non-friends of Dave. Three years prior to my being on the show, my friends (Erin, Aine, Dave, and Jim) and I were all sitting around my kitchen hanging out and drinking some beers as we always did back when we lived in NJ. We brought out a video camera in hopes of capturing some of the hysterical moments we always seem to have when we’re all together. Dave and Aine were feeling particularly creative and brought the camera down to the den. They recorded themselves doing these mock Real World confessionals occasionally zooming in on little product placement objects. It was funny. Maybe you had to be there. Anyway, now here is on the damn show. Never thought it would happen.

So then there’s the music. I love that song we did. I’m proud that it’s on the show no matter what anything thinks of it. Dave and I as of now have only done two songs together, but we’re working on more. That’s all I’m going to say about it.

Ugh, then it’s me not knowing what to do about making it as a singer. Ha, well, I still don’t know, so I guess there’s little point in talking about that right now either.

One of those guys from 112 wanted Coral. Nothing ever happened there, but I guess it was still cool. Not surprised though. Can’t go anywhere with that girl without someone trying to get her number.

I don’t have much to say about the Usher surprise, except for the fact that Usher wanted Coral too. Swear to God. He was groping her hand and shit when he shook it. LA Reed is a lot cooler than I thought he would be. He’s totally nice and down to earth. An extremely approachable man. I like him.

Seeing Lennon sing at the studio was cool only because I love recording studios. Obviously, it’s a little different from Dave’s studio or Dave Richard’s, but it was fun anyway. I like myself wearing red in that interview. I kinda miss my black hair. Too bad I only have like four strands of hair on my head.

YEY!!! That’s Katie!! When Katie came to visit, I was the happiest person on the earth, next to my birthday weekend. I love this scene because it’s very classic Katie and me. It’s me babbling to her about how I suck, and me eating a beef log. So glad that she was on the show because at the time that she visited, I would have died without her. She’s my favorite person to do nothing with.

Off to another recording studio. The Nicky thing. I’ll go into this later.

I hate this HMV thing. So pointless and boring.

Oh, this proactive speech from the bosses. None of the girls, especially me, did a THING for Arista outside a specific request. The boys did. They ran around handing out CDs and promo shit. Not me. Didn’t quite care, and I was aware that we weren’t the real street team. Oh, but marching around with the Stankonia signs WAS fun. It was one of those times that we all actually worked together and didn’t hate each other. Don’t think Nicole and Malik were talking at this point still, but there was no tension in the air at least.

I like this conversation with Nicole. These are always my favorites, these little stupid conversations. Love my back fat shot. Also, this pulling my underwear out is because my underwear is ALWAYS sticking out. Don’t know why. Low riding jeans, high underwear. I didn’t learn that I had this problem until half way through the process and then everyone told. Embarrassing.

You Can’t Stop Me Now as the outtro. Awesome.
