I like buying expensive things. Sometimes, I'm really whiny and selfish about it too - I mean if I want a handbag, girl, you better get out of my way or I'll run you over! Haha I'm totally a serious shopper. Anyways, Yesterday was a day that I thought would start out like any other - aside from the fact that I was going to be at an Orphanage. Casa Hogar Elim Orphanage in Mexico to be exact. Little did I know what I was in for - I've been to a bunch of different charity events but never did I get to interact with everyone. When most people picture Mexico in their minds, they think of the ideal tourist spot. Mexico is the supreme vacation getaway because of its great weather and sandy white beaches. Many people do not realize that beyond the many fancy resorts and hotels, another, less exotic Mexico exists. I was one of these people until I actually got to see an Orphanage and the city first hand. Children, ranging in age from toddler to teen, would stay in this orphanage during the week, and return to live with their relatives on the weekend. The families of these children placed them in the orphanage in order to ensure that they had the opportunity to attend school, as it is very expensive to send children to school in Mexico. When we arrived at the orphanage, we all felt slightly awkward. What could we possibly have in common With these people? We didn't know what to say. Then, one of the boys living there asked us if we wanted to play soccer. We agreed and after playing for about an hour, the group of us were having so much fun that we forgot about our differences and realized that all of us were actually very much alike. We were all children with the same thoughts, fears and emotions. Language did not matter. I'm not going to talk about the bad things I saw, because that's not what this place in Mexico is about. I think it's all about Hope.

Everybody's going to make poor judgments about you, even if they barely know you or have known you all their lives. It's just human to do so. "Dumb blonde" doesn't scare me, or surprise me - I've been called that my whole life! What matters the most is what you know about yourself. Maybe you let yourself slip from time to time, and get yourself in a little bit of trouble. That's what happens when you speak before you think, and I, chicken from the sea girl, think I know that better than anyone. I guess that's something I like to get out of the way before I settle down to talk with someone. I'm not as dumb as you probably think I am, and here? Here I'm safe to say what I want, and I have all the time in the world to get it all down. Of course, everybody's got a publicist breathing down their neck but how many publicists know about these journals? We all aren't as dumb as they thought.
This time last year, I really thought I knew myself completely, but I didn't at all. I was in this place where I wasn't going up or down or figuring anything out; I was so complacent. Everything that happened last year made me realize what I want from life and what's important. I've learned a lot about myself and other people, and it's kind of putting me in this whole new perspective. Blonde Ambition is on my mind for right now, not all the media/press attention I'm getting. I loved filming Dukes Of Hazzard with Sean and Johnny because they were so comical. Employee Of The Month with Dane and Dax? I can't handle myself around them. Not only are thy total cuties, but he's they're sweethearts and will make you laugh harder than you've ever laughed. Working with comedians is the greatest experience. Luke's made Shreveport a blast, and working with Andy Dick again makes my sides hurt. See? It's impossible to be unhappy with life right now, because I'm surrounded by great, genuine people. And as for everything else? Well, you'll have to ask me after I take a hot bubble bath.

I've heard too many times this past week that people don't know the real me, I tend to keep my guard up...So here are some things about me, things not many people would know. Nothing too personal ;)
I change my hair color with my mood, and I change hair colors like some people change purses. I like flowers, but so does every other girl. I can play the piano and the triangle ahaha. My space is messy when I feel like it, and immaculate at other times. I think some of the most intelligent people are the messiest. I'll never have a housekeeper. I think that I will probably always consider Texas home, because my heart belongs to Texas. I like to read the newspaper daily. There are stories in the news that make me cry sometimes, for complete strangers. Then I open my purse and find that again, I do not have the pocket pack of kleenex I've been intending to pick up. I wonder if other people think I'm mysterious. When I'm in a crowd, there have been a few times I've seen tall, dark, and mysterious individuals that I've followed as long as I could, pretending that they were some threat to national security and playing spy games until I lost sight of them. I have a record player in my living room. I listen to just about everything. I can't fall asleep to the sound of silence. I like watching New York at night. I'd prefer to go to sleep late and wake up early anyway. I own lots of history books, European and American. I like to read by candlelight. Some of my favorite books have pages yellowed with age. I've never listened to an audio book. I have been told that I look like Audrey Hepburn. Once I stole my sister's diary because I was mad at her for not taking me to see a movie with her and a boy. It was a Little Women-esque moment. But unlike Amy, I felt guilty about it and went to tell her right away. She wanted to beat me up, but she never would. I collect sunglasses. I even own a pair just like Bono's, but I've never worn it, simply for the fact that I couldn't pull it off. I don't have the Irish accent and the ability to save the world. I wouldn't want to save the world if I had the chance. I think extraordinary people usually do ordinary things especially well. I would like to climb Everest someday, but I know I never will, because I have other things I want to do first. I'd like to live to be extremely old and happy with somebody, in a house out in the country, or die young and be remembered for something great. I would like to run for president, but I won't do that either. However, if I did, Will Ferrell would not be my pick for VP, just in case that was ever in question. I'm always taking pictures of something. I have an old camera that I purchased from a dealer, this huge awkward thing that takes some of the best pictures I've ever seen. I do own a digital camera, but I don't use it as much. I don't know much about technology, nor do I care to. I have a typewriter that doesn't work. I can do calligraphy. I know that I am young and idealistic and that I do not everything, but I like to think I know something.

Imagine for a second, no fame and no spotlight, no pushy paparazzi chasing you down the street with cameras, lights flashing in your face every point five seconds when all you want to do is some shopping and a stop for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Nobody knows your name, and nobody gives you a second look. No worries that if you make an appearance at a bar or nightclub it will be the headline in a magazine the next day, nobody cared about who you were dating and whether or not you were making out in the parking lot of the local grocery store, if you wanted to get drunk and high off drugs, nobody gave it a second thought because hey, it's your life. And you'd know for once what that P word meant, the one that is non-existent in our lives, Privacy. It seems like an entirely different world out there for people who aren't household names, I wouldn't change my life for the world, but on occasion it's nice to daydream what it would be like. I grew up like this though, if I didn't want it at any point all I had to do was say the word, and it could have been over. But, I adored it, we both did. Being on set, going to special appearances, being entertainment for kids of our age, we loved it all, there was no way I'd trade it in for anything. All I'd change is to have a possible five seconds of privacy, or maybe more, but hey beggars can't be choosers now, can they?
I am sure there are a myriad of moments that the world would classify as the moment, in fact I've read in numerous places where the media has labeled my sisters lip synching incident is what trashed our "images." To be completely honest, what image, I don't remember signing up for any so called image. I was just me, and the world was expected to take me or leave me the way that I was, not put me under some image category. I can't get hateful though, I would be silly for that considering this is all very much expected of the world today. Back to my point, they have pin-pointed Ashlee’s personal dealings along with my supposed sex scandal(s)??? as the points in our lives when again, our wholesome images. It bothers me for obvious reasons as to why they'd point it out what my sister had to deal with, it's as if to say, 'hey you because you had a health issue you've ruined your career!' Eh, maybe not so extreme, but I can't help but become defensive about the topic because it is such a sensitive and personal one. Perhaps it isn't my place to discuss it, after all, it didn't happen to me but it effected me. What affects my sister, will forever affect me just as much. She hurts, I hurt ten times more, she cries I cry harder, she laughs I laugh harder. She doesn't even have to say anything, I will just always knows, very strong bond. Why it happens and why it occurs between us, I don't care about logistics, I'm just glad it does and life is so much more amazing with her on the ride.
Okay to end this off on a nice note, brunette, blonde or slightly red but not quite***?

EDIT::
conors awake: BECAUSE YOU WROTE THIS UPDATE that sounded more like a lecture and i laughed and i love you
That is 'Conor' for this update sucks. AKA Just skip over and comment <3
Okay so it’s 1:52 AM and I just watched this Pepsi Zero Commercial for the zillionth time because MTV loves to pimp it for some reason. From the commercial I know that the capital of Jabutie is Jabutie, very nice. Conor is making me update and I figured It’d be good anyways because I haven’t updated in a while.
I never truly understood how people could not only only compact their life stories, decades even in a series of paragraphs. However this is what these journals are all about right? To tell your stories in cliff notes in hopes that people not only get an understanding of who you are but to be intrigued to get to know you. I’m not sure if I can convey that exact message but I’m sure as hell going to try. My friend and i had touched base upon the whole issue of people having a public self and a personal self. The public self is a side of a person which they allow others to see. They have it out in the open and basically on display for everyone to look at. the public self being one not full of flaws and so on because most of the said flaws are kept hidden behind invisible walls, boundaries, barricades, whatever you want to call them. Not really noticeable to most people unless they take the time out to really study a person and get to know them. Then there is the personal self. The side of a person that is kept hidden. The darker portion of a human being if you want to call it that because you can call it many things, that I’m sure of. This side holds the keys to unlocking memories and habits that we keep a secret. Occurrences and less than pleasant times dwell here. we rarely ever bring the personal self into the limelight in fear of being hurt or ridiculed by others. We do however, confide in a person whom we trust if there is infact such a person in our lives. Every person has two sides to themselves as much as they'd like to deny it. Everyone has that callous side which they think that no one will ever understand so they keep it concealed. I myself even have that certain side and I’ll admit to it when asked. I’m not the kind of person to throw all of my feelings out on the table and keep them on display for everyone to see. I could never be that way. I’m an approachable person, very open, and outgoing, but I do have that personal part of myself and I only let one person have access to it. Being hurt in the past has given restriction to who can have admission and who can't.
My christmas was great - I spent it surrounded by people I love, and I hope everyone else had a great Christmas and will have a very good New Year's! What's your resolution?

I'm very curious as to who wrote these!
Lately things have been really fun, not so hectic. I spent a few days with Ash in London, and got to be at the premiere of Chicago. She honestly blew me away. Of course I knew she would be outstanding, but just watching her shine onstage, all her work finally paying off? It was enough to make her big sister proud! She is just so strong and brave, sometimes I feel like I'm the little sister and she's the one always looking out for me. I'm very close with my family, I love my parents to death, but there are some thing that I can't tell my parents...and those are always the things I can talk to Ashlee about. I temporarily lost my voice and decided to go on the Today Show with my voice still very sore and that did not work out, My best friend, Ken Paves, opened a salon and I and hung out with Eva Longoria my new BFF while I was there. My dad wants to Bam Margera's ass, Brittany Snow decided she was in love with my song 'Boy', I have the second best booty in hollywood... I was on Jay Leno, I got some free bling, I hung out with Perez Hilton and got followed home by photographers, I am going to go on a horse ridden carriage with this man, I have a love/hate relationship with this man on the right and had a good laugh thanks to this man!
OH, and here is my 'Schedule' so try to tune in to as many things as you can ;-):
Oct 1 HDNet Concert Series: Reality Tour Live
Oct 2 Today Show
