Jenna on Paris: Where There's A Will, There's A Way.

First, watch:




And then:

My trip to DC, conversations with friends about our futures, etc. have led me to conclude that I don't need to "get serious" upon graduating. I don't owe my life to the economic crisis. And my endless gratitude to my parents is enough.
I'm young.
I'm independent.
I'm interested.
I'm innovative.
I'm progressive.
I'm college educated.
I want to specialize. Eventually.
I want to traaaaaaaavel. Explore.

I'm excited.

Place I wanna, wanna travel to so bad: Marrakesh

Big Man On Campus: Bono allegedly gracing Norman with his presence.

Working at KGOU gives me the unique opportunity to listen to NPR 24/7 - the audio is literally booming out of the bathroom walls. (I love it).

So today on Talk of the Nation there was a segment discussing gay characters on television which made me realize how much, with my limited perspective, I associate homosexuality with what I've seen on TV:

1. Rachel Maddow is awesome. Even though content wise, MSNBC is not serving its journalistic purpose with objective integrity. 

2. Will and Grace changed television and society. Not even kidding.

3. Is Ellen's subtlety on her show about being gay a good or bad thing? I say good. Because, as one former homophobic caller put it, "Her show made me realize that I'm not that different from a gay person. Ellen dances to music and I dance to music. Ellen talks to people and I talk to people."

More public radio: a This American Life about Plan B.

Do I know anyone who stuck with Plan A?

If I had, I'd be pursuing life as an...actress!? It was my 9th grade dream. Change is a good thing. Often a courageous thing.

I LOVE personal style.

Splendid Isolation: Pete Yorn.

Broken Bones: Aqualung.

Spiraling: Keane.

So I'll be jiggling my leg in restless anticipation throughout the week...

I CAN'T WAIT FOR SPRING BREAK IN D.C.

Awwww, Gidge!

For her birthday, Whitney got her beloved complete Gidget TV series starring a very young and adorable Sally Field who makes these amazingly vivid facial expressions while surfing, dating Moondoggie, getting into various hijinks and saying really cheesy lines from an entirely different era.

So now I'm addicted. 

I want her entire wardrobe.

And I now call Whit, Gidge.

Plus, with the endless supply of microwave popcorn at Theta, total viewing enjoyment never ends.

"For fifteen and a half years my life was a complete and total ick. But then on the 23rd of June two things happened. I fell in love with two things: Jeff, my Moondoggie, and surfing."

- Gidget.
