last week i wrote a post for sparxoo about social media and how it connects us, but also how we organize all this information. it was a hit, if i do say so myself. and i'm proud of my work. i love social media. i love how it connects me to people. i've written before about my love for twitter, which many people still don't understand. i think social media is a powerful force in our society. just look at these stats the the video:
even if those are a little skewed, its still really cool to think that i am playing a part in making a mark on my generation. gen Y is not just a bunch of kids who sit around and play video games and text 24/7. lots of us are out there trying to make a difference and doing what we can to make a name for ourselves, even in this tough time. i'm proud of my degree and my education, and hope that someday soon i can reach even farther and have a large influence on my peers. i've tried to take the advice of the many branding/marketing/PR gurus on blogs and twitter to develop my own brand. i can only hope that what i'm doing is right. while i'm here in rochester trying to get my feet wet, i'm getting lots of real world experience in managing time and money, and my life as well. i have a lot to look forward to, and i can't wait to get out there and do it!
arrested development. the office. 30 rock. mad men. sytycd.
all shows that i wish i'd been watching from the very beginning, so i could have some PASSION when i talk about them. i pride myself on knowing things first!!! it's what i'm known for in my little circle of friends. so now i'm hooked on entourage. and i have sooooo much to catch up on. i can't watch regular TV now because its too slow.
no quick comebacks and snappy dialogue. no ari gold and mrs. ari and turtle and LLOYD. no surprising guest stars like mandy moore and james cameron. no vinny chase eye candy.
i'm on season three now and can't wait to catch up.

also, a little DIY update:
the dresser we picked up for $8. i already started priming it and have almost decided on new knobs.
some kitchen chairs my mom picked up...for free! i'm going to re-cover them with...
clare, steph and i made rainbow cupcakes last night. i've tried to do it before (from scratch) but was pretty unsuccessful. this time i was smart and just used cake mix and prepackaged frosting--so much better (and easier!). i've had the inkling to do it since reading theseposts and finally had the opportunity to scratch the itch. sorry, my camera is weird, so the pictures aren't that great of quality.
we separated the batter into 5 bowls, about a cup of batter each, added LOTS of food coloring, (we used yellow cake batter, which posed kind of a problem) then haphazardly put the batter into the cups however we felt like! it only made 18 cupcakes (instead of the usual 24) but we were fine with that frosting was from the doughboy, we dyed it 3 colors, put them all in a bag, and hoped they swirled together! (it did on some) the cupcakes were delicious.
