Well, I'm gonna go ahead and pull a K-OS. This post has nothing to do with Natalie Portman, but doesn't the mention of that song title hook and intrigue you? And didn't her alluring and exquisite face invite you to this post?
Wicked.
Anyways, I'm approaching the end of my two-month hiatus from careerland, and I couldn't be more ready to move on from being eternally available and mostly unproductive. Though, there certainly have been some good times. (Fashion TV is now a lot more like my religion than a hobby.)
I watched Vicky Cristina Barcelona today for the 4th time (instead of cleaning my room - again, I take full responsibility for my extreme laziness) and in it Cristina aka Scar-Jo says she is currently "at liberty" rather than unemployed. I like this saying, and I often felt that way.
But, how, I ask, does one get the money to go to Barcelona for the summer while "at liberty?"
Alas, the best news of my liberty-phase was in the form of a contractual agreement offered to me by APTN during the Olympics to pull me out of this bind and leave me with just the kind of money to get away!
Which leads me to my New Years resolutions for 2010, and my 23rd year of existence!
(I promise, it really will tie in.)
1) Go overseas. I have the time, I'll be acquiring the money, and good lord am I ready for the adventure!! I've wanted this for so long and decided to get my schooling over with, and now here I am. Hopefully joining cousin Ashley in India in March!! (Could I pick a pricier flight?)
2) Help people more. I've always been happier when I'm making other people happy or making some kind of a difference, which may be selfish, but it really does make you feel like you have something to offer and feel more connected with people. I keep missing my emails to confirm a session in the soup kitchen, but resolve to make this happen in early 2010 and continue with the trend throughout the year!
3) Make this my fittest year of existence. Now this may be a super-typical one, but this was the first year I've even paid for a gym membership and I had a workout plan made, so pff! who says I won't continue with the commitment in 2010? Plus, I've started doing major portion control and avoiding indulgences, and I feel that must make me so much more committed since I'm starting before the new year (not like those other poseurs..? ;)) JK. I'm rooting for all of us!
Anywhoo.. I may as well throw in something about Natalie Portman because she is super awesome and more people should realize it. Like I really think I'd wanna hang out with her. First of all, there's her acting ability (See: The Other Boleyn Girl, Closer (as a stripper!!) and Brothers; which wouldn't have had any legs without the brilliant casting); then there's her Harvard degree; and oh, yeah, her elegant beauty that is so deep she can rock a bald head.
PS, this:
Yeah, she did. She fuckin' rapped on SNL.
