Okay, so I’m a little late on this, but at least I’m posting about it. Lisa and I attended the first (annual?) Blogger Prom thrown by some of the best cele-blog-rities in Los Angeles. And yes, I mean best because everyone pretty much knows who they are, they probably get a bajillion hits and comments on their sites every day and I’m honored that they were nice enough to send me an invite. And who else to bring with me than an even bigger blogger than me but Lisa!

We did some last minute shopping (complete with emailed photos to each other at malls across the city), dressed up and walked over to the Andaz Hotel to see what was going on. Mostly, though, I just reverted to my wallflower self, ate all the food, tried a drink, hung out with Joz and her hot date, caught up with Chris, and just thanked my intuition to NOT buy the hot pink dress I had tried on at Forever 21 earlier that day. No, seriously, I was. Since the single-sex rule at my high school made prom just a night of hanging out with friends (complete with finishing off two bottles of white wine with my “date”), this was the first time I had to think about the possible and horrible consequences of wearing the same dress as another girl. Fortunately, I won because the first thing Lisa and I saw in the room were not one, not two, not three but FIVE (maybe six) different girls wearing the same exact hot pink dress from Forever 21 that I had showed her earlier that day. Phew. Luckily, I went with the ugly pale pink floral bustier dress instead. No one copied me! Wait, maybe that’s not always a good thing.

The night was loads of fun and the goodie bag was even better, but I’d have to say that the best moment was seeing our blurry selves (Joz included) in the main photo from the LA Weekly blog. Woo-hoo! I’m famous!

(And this isn’t the first time I’ve been caught in the background.)

Highlight of the night? Lisa looking at Pauly Shore and saying he looked like a nice person without realizing that she was talking about Pauly Shore.

Here’s The Problem: Two of your cutest girlfriends start a new blog, Here’s The Problem, that highlights today’s problems (duh) and everything that’s wrong with them. Why? Because someone has to say it or otherwise nothing will get done in this universe. Since everything they say is pertinent and hilarious, they’re soon to become the new Internet Snarklings (snark + darlings), leaving me cold and alone in the dark.

They already barely respond to my IMs. (Okay, that’s a lie.)

Actual Problem: I don’t get to see them every day like I used to, and my life is going nowhere.

Seriously, though, please subscribe to their feed because they are bound to make you laugh aloud. Yes, I’m talking to you. All 3 of you.

Here are some ideas for blogs I’d like to but will probably never start, due to lack of ambition and material:

  • Cute Things Eating Sour Things
  • Co-workers Who Look Like Hitler
  • Asian8s.com (Just kidding. I have no idea what that blog would be about. Chinky numbers? I dunno.)
  • I Wish I Was Japanese (devoted to crazy and weirdo white people who wish they were Japanese–OMG GENIUS! No lack of material there!!)
  • Passive Aggressive Twitters (anonymous submissions of people’s snarky twitter updates)
  • My Mom Is Not A Fob But A Fourth Generation Asian American (zero stuff to post for this one. But it could apply to my dad’s side of the family)
  • Mongolian Birth Marks (where adults like me can meet other adults who still have their Mongolian birth mark on their butt. I can’t be the only one, right???)
  • Boring Blog Entries (a compilation of the worst blog entries by so-called writers who like to endlessly talk about themselves and you’re like WHO THE EFF CARES ABOUT THIS!? ARGGGGH. This entry does not apply. Jerks.)
  • Worst PostSecret Secrets (the worst, most embarrassing or emo-est PostSecret postcard of the week. You know, the ones where you’re like, who is this and where can I find him? Or like, holy crap. If you’re gonna tell everyone your secret, at least get your grammar right.)

Don’t steal any of these ideas. Or I’ll sue. Or get you deported. My sister now works for Homeland Security SO WATCH OUT.

Look. Photoshop.

I have an inkling of an idea of who Julia Allison is. But MRod showed up with this photo, so of course I had to see why a woman would upload a picture of herself with her UNDIES clearly showing.

Right?? Yeah, I don’t care that you’re making a stupid SATC joke. Why are you showing us your panties?

So of course I click on the blog link, and lo and behold…Someone’s been busy with the photo and the shop.

Oops…

Lisa forwarded me her friend’s new blog, Modern Shame, which highlights those special emails or txt messages that shouldn’t have been sent. You know, those letters that inevitably led to a break-up or awkward conversation or like, made your cheeks turn bright red after you realized what you’ve done.

why share regretful correspondence? because we have all been there, and a collective cringe is so much better than a solitary one, alone behind your computer screen thinking unsend! take back! undo!

you can’t take it back, but you can put it here.

Awesome. I think I have one or two things to submit. Let’s see if you can figure out which ones are mine.
