Like I mentioned yesterday, I got an email from Gustav at 94.7 fm to come and do my perfect playlist in person on the radio and of course I accepted the invitation. It was very exciting because I have this dream I've buried away inmy closet of a mind that one day I will be a witty, adored radio personality.
I headed down to the station in rush hour traffic- because that's how I roll- and made it there a bit early to my surprise, so I had to sit in the lobby and wait. That's when I started to think about being on the radio and got sort of nervous. EVERYONE from work would be listening (because, duh, I can't keep these things a secret!), BF would be listening because I dedicated the playlist to him... it was about him... and the greater Portland Metro area was listening. TO ME. Ugh.
But as soon as I stepped into the studio I forgot all about anyone listening to me or being nervous. Radio Station studios are sort of awesome. Gustav was very friendly and super easy to talk to (probably why he is on the radio) and I had a great time. He even mentioned that I was a natural on the radio. And we all know why... because I did the announcements at B&N, so I have experience...
Oh yeah... so my playlist was based on BF competing in bodybuilding competitions. The songs and reasoning behind them are below:
1. "Beer"- by Reel Big Fish, because BF couldn't drink leading up to the competition and he is definitely a beer lover/connoisseur. Actually, he didn't really eat or drink a lot of anything delicious.
2. “Tangerine Speedo”-Caviar- pretty self explanatory, they wear RIDICULOUS speedos, AKA "posing suits".
3. “ I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor”- Arctic Monkeys- because he looks GOOD!
4. “I Like You So Much Better When You’re Naked”- Ida Maria- see above.
5. “Nice Guys Finish Last”- Green Day- because it’s hard to place very high in the untested competitions if you aren’t on steroids, which he is not.
I'm so glad my playlist was picked because I felt like BF needed a little extra recognition for the hard work he does.

TMI About Hair, and Bodybuilding
I hate body hair... on me. I don't mind it on other people and usually I don't even notice it- unless it is extreme. I don't think I spend an unusual amount of time taking care of this pet peeve of mine; the process has streamlined since I've been de-fuzzing my arms and legs since high school so it really takes no extra time at all anymore. One thing that I absolutely hate is having to shave under my arms. I don't know why, but I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a soapy finger than do this.
My sister got a job and she now works at a company who has a sister company attached to it that does laser hair removal. I'm seriously thinking about LHR for my pits. It's expensive, but I feel that it would be worth it. Spend the money all at once and one would probably end up saving in the long run on razors, shaving cream, etc. right? Right. So I guess I'm saving up for this.
What got me on this body hair topic? BF.
Sorry, BF, but this may be embarassing for you. Well, probably not since you flex in a man-kini, or as you call it a "posing suit".
BF, as you may know, is into Bodybuilding. Not the huge ugly puffy bodybuilding, but the hey-that-guy-looks-like-an-anatomy-figurine bodybuilding (meaning no steriods and strange habits here). That's sort of the point, you are supposed to show how defined your muscles are. He does things mostly the old fashioned way- eating cleanly and often, working out with a plan, cardio, etc. This also means that come competition time he has to be tan and hairless because how can you see the muscles if they are hidden under a blanket of hair? Not that BF has a blanket of hair. He's not crazy-hairy-gym-guy (more about him later).
Last week during spring break, BF got waxed from a nice lady at Sugar Laboratories. I want to pause here and reiterate that this is not something BF does on a regular or even semi regular basis; ONLY BEFORE COMPETITIONS. Anyway, so we hung out shortly after the waxing and he was so dang soft and smooth. I have to admit that I was a little jealous. I am supposed to be the soft and smooth one! Thus I started thinking about permanent solutions so that I will be the soft and smooth one all the time.
Ugh. So after thinking about it more, I basically want to get my WHOLE BODY done with the LHR.
Technology is a blessing and curse (on my finances).
