To My Favorite Sister

They say that the longest relationship you will have with another human being in your life is the one with your sibling. I'm so glad I get to share mine with this girl.

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY, MEI!

We are two peas in a pod, Jessica and I. We get along so well and enjoy each other's company so much some friends think we're weird.

"I can't stand my brother. You actually like love your sister? Weird."

Yea, it's weird but then again, so are we.

I adore my sister's awkward sense of humor, her flair for the dramatics (she is a theatre major, you know), her sunbeam of a smile, her tendency to make you feel guilty for anything you do, and most of all, her exceedingly large heart. She always cries when our family parts ways at the airport, she remembers little details like what kind of perfume I like, she always makes the extra effort for those she cares about and out of the two of us, she is definitely the better sister.

When I have good news, bad news, any news, she is always the first one I try to call. I've mourned over broken hearts with her, giggled about ridiculous situations, solicited advice, and can even sit in silence just observing how utterly cool this girl is.

See, so cool, right?

We have our differences; she can't stand it when I try to introduce her to "the best book ever" or "the song that will change your life!" but she tolerates my overall dorkiness and even tries to give me advice on how to pick up boys. (Dude, girl is a pro with the men.)

That's her modeling in a magazine!

Jessica, I can't wait until you become an international superstar, dazzling the world with your charm and beauty. Then, you can play me in a movie about my extraordinary life and we will both live happily ever after...with each other. We really probably would have to because nobody else will ever get me like you do and tolerate me like you can. Love you to death, little sis. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you. Remember, when you become a movie star, I get first dibs as your personal assistant!

Hollywood High School

This was awhile back but I just realized I had never posted about this. I post about almost every other single thing going on in my life including the state of cleanliness my bedroom is in so it would be a shame to not blog about this.

This being that my sister acted in a movie this past summer! She was part of the cast of Easy A, a teen dark comedy coming out in 2010. The movie is almost like Scarlet Letter but set in modern-day high school times and boasts an amazing ensemble cast. (and I'm not just saying that 'cause Jess is in it.) Lisa Kudrow, Stanley Tucci, Amanda Bynes, Thomas Hayden Church, Penn Badgley, Emma Stone, the list is impressive. Take a look-see for yourself at some of the pictures we took at the after-party.

Star Emma Stone - she was in Superbad, The House Bunny, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

Former stars of "Aliens of America." I heard this was an awesome show but like all awesome shows, it ended up being...cancelled. *sigh

Aly and AJ! OMG I totally listen to their music! (They rock, ok?)

Me and my new best friend/lover, Tyler! He's a cutie!

So when people say that Hollywood is like high school, they aren't exaggerating. Some of my sister's behind-the-scenes stories are unbelievable. A star of the movie with a total nice girl/guy reputation acted like she/he came straight out of Mean Girls(slash Guys?).

It makes me mad because unfortunately, my sis was one of the poor lambs getting picked on but what can you do? Our ultimate payback will be for Jess to become a mega-star and watch that bully's face one day as Jess sashays past her on a red carpet as people are screaming for my sister's name and ignoring her/him. When that day comes, it will be sweet!

But until that day, we just gotta suck it up and do the best work we can.

Jess, keep it up. You're amazing and I have every confidence that you win over the world with your acting talents. Cheers to the future!

PS. You should check out my sis' IMDB page. I can only link you to that since someone still hasn't purchased their domain name from Mr. Creeper. Get on it, girl!

Creep

This cracked me up for the most part of my day.

I've been looking to buy www.jessicajann.com and www.janicejann.com so the Jann sisters can begin our global web domination.

Well, turns out Jess' name has already been purchased by a third party who probably spends a lot of time buying domain names of actors who pop up on IMDB because those are the ones who'll eventually need their domain names to start websites with. (Smart!)

When I emailed him asking how much he was willing to sell www.jessicajann.com for, he responded with the following email:

Make me an offer. Are you related to the Jessica Jann that is listed on imdb.com who appeared on iCarly? If so, the price would be cheaper if there is an autographed photo of Jessica included in the deal. That would be a nice addition to my collection.

I had a field day reading that! Which I did. Out loud. About 500 times. In different accents.

I especially like the last line, it's extra creepy.

PS. Trying to build own website! Anyone have tips/tutorials or would like to just volunteer to make it for me?
