Day 15, 16, 17

Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die.

No, I'm not kidding. I just wanna wrap my arms around his snuggly neck and ride around the jungle. What would be more fun than that?


Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you.
To be quite honest, I've never really been inspired by a single person. I've found a lot of inspiration in myself and always wanting to be better. I'm very inspired by people's actions. Either I say, "Wow, I really wish I could be like that," or, "Wow, I hope I don't ever become like that." But, I can't think of just one person who's inspired me.


Day 17 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently.
Not so recent....

Getting this job was by far the best thing that ever happened to me. I've met the best people, learned so much, and grown up incredibly in my five years here. I've made some best friends, found the most amazing man in the world, and learned lessons I'd never thought I'd learn at an amusement park.

This also inspires me....

The spanish language is something that is extremely important to me. I've taken it for five consecutive quarters at school and when I scheduled for spring quarter last week, I cried because I couldn't fit 203 into my schedule. I want to minor in it so badly, but I still have 88 credit hours to fulfill and I'm supposed to graduate in 2012. Bleh. Spanish has taught me a lot of tolerance. I love being able to speak to people at work who don't speak english. I could go on forever about how I feel about Spanish. And to every Spanish prof i've ever had: thank you.

Day 11, 12, 13, 14

So so so sorry I have been somewhere else lately. I'm so sick. No smelling or tasting. My head feels like it's about three times its size and my nose is so drippy I feel like I should stick a towel up there. Needless to say I've been super drugged up and extremely lethargic.

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate.


Don't you EVER wear sandals with socks when you're around me. Especially dudes. I understand that as a man your fashion sense is way below that of a woman, but come on. What is appealing about that? ^^^ nothing. absolutely nothing.


Day 12 - A picture of something you love.


I love cats, and I love friendship. This picture purrrtrays both (haha, see what i did there? /lame). But, seriously. I've always loved making friends, I love having a support system that's there for me no matter what I'm going through. Friends should never leave your side. (Maybe that's why I love cats so much.)


Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist.


Okay, I might be exaggerating. But I definitely love them. Midlde of Nowhere was the best cassette I ever put into my walkman. I chose them mostly because I can't really pick just one. Honorable mentions: Mayday Parade, A Day to Remember, Freelance Whales, Passion Pit, Four Year Strong, Hellogoodbye & of course....Elton John.


Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.


My mom. (I don't know why this picture is taken at such a weird angle, she's a super weirdo.) I OBVIOUSLY couldn't picture my life with out her because, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here at all. But, when I feel like all of my friends have let me down, she's the first person I know I can count on. She thinks I'm the funniest person in the world and I can talk to her about absolutely anything. I wish all girls loved their mom like I love mine.

Day 10

Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the strangest things with.



I kind of almost want to change the title to "Person you talk about the most ridiculous things with." Scott is an incredibly good friend (not to mention co-worker of 6 seasons at Kings Island) to me. Hands down- one of the funniest people you will ever meet. We have some of the strangest conversations, but we'll totally be on the same page. We have the kinds of conversations where you can't come in during the middle of it and join; you wouldn't be able to. If Scott and I didn't work together we'd probably be in a gang together at least. SMM or the Sons of Silence biker gang. (He's the only other person I can talk to about all of the Gangland I watch.) He makes fun of me cause I cry too much and one time I puked on myself, but that's a story for another day. He's got this weird fear of raptors, and I get it, cause raptors are fucking scary. They can open doors and shit.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So, I'm probably going to be in college until I'm dead. That's the story of my life right now. All of my Gen Eds are done and now I sit here, one quarter into my junior year and I have 88 credit hours to fulfill for just my major. 12 hours of that is interning. So, I have 72 credit hours of actual classes that I have to take before I graduate.

I haven't been stressed out like this in a long time. I've got all of these classes to take, I don't want to live in my house anymore, and I have under $1500 dollars to my name. Oh hey, real life, when the hell did you get here?  I've got papers to write and bills to pay but I can't make myself focus on any of it. I wish it was acceptable to just lay in bed all day, cry, watch law and order, and eat my body weight in chicken lo mein.

But, looking on the bright side: I have fantastic friends, a wonderful boyfriend, I'm losing weight and feeling healthy, I'm doing well in school this quarter and work starts back up really soon. The weather is getting better and with that, my mood will hopefully improve so for now I guess hoping for good things is the only option.

Day 9

Day 9- A picture of someone who has gotten you through the most.




No one has ever made me feel as safe and secure as this man-boy right here. He puts up with me like no one else ever has. He was there for me when all my friends decided to walk out. He's been there everytime I've just wanted to give up on everything. He talks me down from all of breakdowns. He calms me down when I get too heated about something. No one has ever kept me as grounded as him. Boyfriend just doesn't cut it. He's probably the best friend anyone could ever have and I'm so lucky that he's mine. He'll find the good in every bad situation and make me smile even when I don't want to. I can roll my eyes at every joke he makes, but in the end- he's the best thing in my life. I try not to be super sappy about him. I don't like being the girl that talks about her boyfriend all the time. But out of all the friends I have come across in my life, I've never had someone so willing to listen to my problems, let alone try to help me solve them. I can cook him all the dinners in the world and record every episode of tosh.0 but that wouldn't be enough to show him how thankful I am that he's in my life.

Day 8

Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh.

hipster hitler is the best thing to come along since latfh.com (if you haven't been to that site, PELASE go there immediately.)

Day 7

Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item.

This is my cat. Her name is Sydney. She's eight and the most prissy cat ever. She's like a real person. She snuggles with me at night, she knows when I'm having a bad day, and I'm the only person she truly likes. She loves to be pet on her belly (yes, just like a dog) and she rarely likes to play with our other cat. She's the best pet I've ever had. I may just be biased because I'm obsessed with all types of cats (lions, tigers, bobcats, allllll dem.) She's the best cat ever. Love my kitty.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Happy Valentines Day! Besides the fact that I have a super great boyfriend, I just want to express the love I have for all of my friends and my family. I have some of the best, most supportive friends in the entire world.
So friday, I picked up Kyle from Columbus, (looking super cute, might I say.) I gave him the collage that I made for him and he liked it a lot. We had a group dinner date at The Polo Grille with a few of our good friends. The food was so good. Best burger ever. We went back to Steven's house for what was supposed to be a classy Valentines Day party. It was a little less than classy. But, there was much laughter, good drinks and good friends. Kyle and I stayed up until 3am, those are the best nights.

Saturday morning we went to Frische's to enjoy the mediocrity of the breakfast buffet. That night we went to his niece's fundraiser dinner. For a certain amount of money per couple, you get dinner, four drink tickets and you ge entered into a raffle. Any date where I don't get carded for drinks is a quality date to me. I was afraid I was under-dressed before we left and was really stressed out, so his mom- being the best mother that she is- gave me a couple cups of Bailey's. SWEET RIGHT? I got pretty tipsy- only to learn that pretty much all of Kyle's family was going to be there. Thanks, Luann! So I was already in a pretty geat mood when I got there. There was a silent auction and Kyle did what he could to prevent me from bidding on absolutely everything. But, he was not successful in keeping me from bidding on the Italian basket: a box of spaghetti, larosa's sauce, italian dressing, colander, spagetti grabber, measuing cups and a bottle of coke and diet coke. perfect date night material. the rest of the night was really great. Got to have a pretty good cuddle sesh with the best boy ever.

Sunday I felt like super housewife extreme (and for those of you that know me, that's pretty much my favorite thing to do ever. Seriously, I played "house" until I was like 13). I used my Italian basket and made a spaghetti dinner for Kyle and his fam. Then! I made cookies from scratch. Everyone was super happy and I felt very successful. I came home later that night and my brother had gotten me a Valentines Day card. Best little brudder in the world. I surprised him today with a box of chocolates and a heart shaped pizza.

And now I'm here. The actual day of St. Valentine, all alone and missing my man. Blogging about the almost perfect weekend, and my cat. This is the good life.

Day 4, 5 and 6

Day 04 - A picture of your favorite team.
Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory.
Day 06 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day.







favorite team: new york giants forever. born and raised. although i can enjoy rooting for the bengals, i am always happy when my giants doing work. and i sure hope we can all bond on (hopefully) our mutual hatred for black and yellow- no matter which team you root for. 




Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory.

A trip to Florida in December with the best boy in the entire world. it wasn't as hot as I wanted, but it was definitely where I wanted to be. Tennessee almost made it up here, but I think I might have enjoyed this a little more. It was way more laid back. And definitely way prettier. I got to enjoy about five sunsets. We also took a mini roadtrip during our vacation to go see MY grandma (we went down to see Kyle's gran). 




Day 06 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day.





I am super in love with Chelsea Handler. We have the exact same sense of humor and I seriously wish Chelsea Lately was on for 5 hours every day. She cracks me up with the way that absolutely no one is safe from her and her ridicule. 






Tomorrow: A new picture and I'll update everyone about this pretty sweet valentines day weekend. 

Day 3

Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show.




Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Every Tuesday, USA does an all day marathon. You know where to find me. Often times I find myself thinking about skipping class so I can just see what case Olivia and Elliot will have to deal with next. Yes, I know it's probably an issue. I definitely don't care.


Honorable Mentions



Degrassi: The Next Generation. The original cast. No one from this cast is on it anymore and it upsets me. But, I'll take what I can get. RIP best cast ever. <3



This was a boring one.

Day 2.

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been close with for awhile.

It is impossible for me to choose just one person. So here are five. Five of the very best people you could ever want to have in your life.

Sam, Morgan, Kyle, Cara Kayla.

Sam and I used to HATE each other. You couldn't even say her name around me with out me saying some unnecessary rude comment about the way she looked, or the way she acted. That's what boys do to women. It's a sick a disgusting thing. But, now she's my best friend and I love her so much. She listens to anything I have to say. And she also thinks all of my jokes are funny. (: We're so much alike it's almost disgusting, and we go to bdub's every Wednesday. <3

Morgan's been my friend since like, 2006, i think. I'll never know. Sometimes we don't talk for like months (like right now). But, nonetheless, she's a close friend of mine. She doesn't take advice and we fight pretty much all the time and we're complete opposites. But I love her, even when she doesn't think so.

I met Cara when I was tweleve. We've been friends ever since. We can go a whole year with out speaking to each other, and if you put us in a room together it's like nothing's changed at all. We've had some of the best times with her and I couldn't pick any other person to have as a childhood best friend. Kayla is her niece (more like sister, seriously). Kayla and I have always been really different. But since college, we've become more alike and she rocks and everyone should be her friend.

Kyle is my boyfriend and my best friend. I've never met a more carefree, kind person. He makes me laugh and thinks I'm funny. He makes me feel pretty every seecond of every day and never fails to put a smile on my face. We've had some of the best times together and I can't wait to see what's to come.


--------------------------------------------------------------------


Valentines Day is Monday. As much as most of you would rather NOT here me talk about it, I would just like to express my excitment. (Thanks in large part to this VDay episode of Glee...) I'm not cheesy: no chocolates, no cards. But, I defintiely love trying my best to be romantic and awesome. I love surprises. Last year I got a big-ass teddy bear and almost peed my pants. Valentines Day seriously makes me feel like a little kid. If it was socially acceptable, I'd still be making Valentine's Day card boxes out of old shoe boxes (I always made the best ones in elementary school.) What are your VDay plans?

Day 1

Day 1- A picture of yourself and 15 facts.

1. My name is Meagan. And I love nicknames.
2. My hand is on my face in this picture because I have a massive pimple on my chin.
3. I wear three silly bands. A cat, a squirrel and a gecko. Whitney gave me the cat for my birthday, Kyle gave me the squirrel because I love them and Ian gave me the gecko when we were in Florida.
4. I watch Law and Order: Special Victims Unit way too much.
5. I am watching it right now.
6. I finally like football (thanks in large part to the man in my life) and it's awesome. Except, sometimes, it makes my stomach hurt because I get so nervous.
7. I have my ears stretched to 9/16 and I have my nose pierced. I am not a fan of tattoos though. On me, anyway.
8. I can't wait to be 21. And I don't mean that as in a "I can't wait to be drunk all the time" sense. Most of my friends are over 21, so my life kind of sucks, haha.
9.I play DDR pretty much every night and burn at least 200 calories.
10. I have no sympathy for people who constantly create drama for themselves. I will no longer surround myself with those kinds of people.
11. I am obsessed with cats, specifically mine. She's the cutest damn thing ever.
12. I've only ever had two jobs, and I've never been fired. I work at Kings Island every summer. And since 2006 until about 2009 I worked at Hot Topic in the winter. They were both great experiences. I've met some great people.
13. I love making collages. I have a huge one on my wall.
14. I am extremely affectionate and wish that everyone else was too.
15. I really like to write, sing and dance.

Instead of doing it on Facebook...

I think that the 30 days of pictures is a really cool idea, but if one more person fills my facebook newsfeed with it, I'm going to tear my eyes out. Seriously. So, here we go.

beautiful giiiirls, all over the world.

As I sit on facebook, twitter, tumblr -all those networking sites that people use- I'm shocked by the amount of girls out there who have nothing but negative things to say about themselves. It upsets me more than almost anything in the world. I just don't get it. It's your body, it's your face, and you've been living with it your whole life, and you've never been able to find anything you like about yourself? please, do me a favor.

look in a fucking mirror.

please, just for a few minutes. i guarantee that you will find at least one thing you like about yourself. i don't care if it's your ears, your hair line, or your eyelids. just find something. you can be big and beautiful; you can be short and beautiful; you can be scrawny and beautiful.

Also, ladies, you do NOT need a man in your life to make you feel pretty. Just because you're single doesn't mean you're repulsive. you could be intimidating, or maybe some guys just think you're out of their league. i just get so upset with all these girls like "blah blah i'm disgusting" or "no one's ever going to want me." if a dude doesn't want to be with you, he's not worth your time. there's something pretty in everyone. don't pay attention to al those disgustingly skinny girls in the media. if you've been keeping up: super-skinny lindsay lohan is going to jail, AGAIN, for stealing a necklace. so, being disgusting isn't all it's cracked up to be.

sometimes i go on rants like this and i think people just sit back and go, "greeeeat another chubby girl telling me why i should love myself." FALSE. i'm a cute, chubby girl telling you that you BETTER love youself. if you don't, i'll come love on you. because i was blessed with a huge heart and half the time, I don't know what to do with it. but, unfortunately i can't spend all my time telling people how pretty they are or how great of a person they can be. so please, do me and yourself a favor, and love yourself.

my favorite things.

it's been way too long and i apologize greatly for my absence. I got tangled up in that whole "going to school and writing papers" thing. but, campus is closed today (thank God for commuter schools) so i think I'll take advantage and finish up this blog.


My top ten favorite songs of all time:

I started with this because I know it's going ot be the hardest. Pretty much any time I hear a song I haven't listened to in a while I say, "OH MY GOD THIS IS MY FAVORITE!" But, let's get real, they're not all my favorite. I owe my taste in music to my father. He has an extensive music taste and it defintiely rubbed off on me. So let's watch as I attempt to narrow down my top ten favs.

10. Everything I Once Had by The Honorary Title
This is easily the best break-up song ever written. Since 2005, everytime I've experienced "heartbreak" I turn this song on and listen to it a few times. It's beautiful. I'm not huge on super sad emo love songs, but this song defintiely has to make the list.
9. Island by The Starting Line
This song seriously just makes me think of an ideal relationship with the ideal person. Living with someone you love, almost like it's just you two in the world and no one else. It's beautiful, I like to think every girl thinks like that. How awesome would it be to be on an island with some wonderful man who loves you and only you? Pretty great. It's like "don't worry about the problems we face because I'll love you all the same." Maybe, idk.
8. Two Weeks in Hawaii by Hellogoodbye
I don't care if Forrest is married, he definitely wrote this song for me. It's just so real. It's like he just wrote down everything he loved about this girl and turned it into a song. It sounds like something you'd find in a kid's journal. "I felt so bad whe your mom caught us eating ice cream at your room at two in the morning. Cause I would hate for her to not want me around her daughter." AAAANNNDDD this song makes reference to tying your straw and pulling it and if there's a knot, someone's thinking about you. I do that all the time. Love.
7. Mr. Wendel by Arrested Development
Everytime my dad listens to music at our house, he plays this song for me. I love it. It's just about a homeless guy and another guy who basically is like "you know what, just cause you're homeless doesn't mean you're dumb. I'll give you a few bucks if you just feed me your wisdom. Stuff like that. It's a really chilled out song. I reccomend it.
6. Caress Me Down by Sublime
I get to sing in Spanish (my favorite). Super sexy and fun. This song makes me think where Sublime would be today if their singer was still alive. Everyone should love this song. Tienes que bailar.
5. All Mixed Up by 311
This song also makes me think of my dad because he listens to it a lot. 311 is one of his favorites. Mine too. So so good. This song is really....motivating? It just makes me wanna do things.
4. People Are Strange by The Doors
Disclaimer: The Lost Boys is my favorite movie of all time (Maybe). And this song is in the opening scene. I first saw this movie when I was about four, and since then I've been listening to The Doors. So this song pretty much always has a specal place in my heart.
3. Broken Horse by Freelance Whales
I guess this is the weirdest song on my countdown because I can't tell you why it's in my top ten. I just think it's really pretty. Just listen to it, and you'll understand what I mean.
2. Down and Out by The Academy Is...
This song takes me waaaaaay back to like 2006 haha. One of the best moments of my life was being in a huge, sweaty crowd of people, singing this song, then meeting William Beckett after a long night. (And after losing my drumstick to rude young lady.) I really just wanted to put a throwback song on here, and this one popped in to my head. It's really pretty and makes me feel like singing loudly. That's what all songs should do.
1. Tiny Dancer by Elton John/Ben Folds (Both are wonderful.)
I have never loved singing a song more than this song. Not only does it remind me of Kyle (the first night we hung out we drove around in his truck and listened to music on his PSP and like 5 different versions of this song came on), but it's just a classic. It's a song where you know if you're in a public place and it comes on, people are all gonna get together to sing the chorus, whether they know each other or not.


Favorite Movies (Top 5):

5. Scream
For about two months, I put this movie on before I went to bed each night. I love Wes Craven, so cliche. I love the Scream trilogy (soon to be saga!) Matthew Lillard is one of my favorite actors, ever.
4. RENT
Once I see this live, I'm afraid this will leave the list. But, nonetheless, it's a great movie. It's such a beautiful story and no matter how many times I see it, I will cry every single time.
3. May
Grossest low budget horror movie ever. First: Anna Faris is in it and I'm pretty much obsessed with her. Second: It's kind of a sad story, really. I don't want to give you a whole summary, but I definitely suggest watching it. Not for the squeemish.
2. The Lost Boys
I think this movie just hold so many memories for me that it's hard not to love it. I'm in love with te duo Haim/Feldman. May Corey Haim rest in peace. I love comedy/horror. It's such a good mix of emotion in one movie, haha. It also opens with People are Strange (even though it's the version by Echo and the Bunnymen.
1. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
No, I'm not kidding. I was the Pink Power Ranger for Halloween, for three years. Me and Tommy (The Green/White Ranger) had a secret relationship, in my head until I was about ten. Such a classic 90s movie.  Ivan Ooze was such a goon.


My Favorite Feelings
5. Sneezing
The most relieving feeling in the world.
4. The feeling in your tummy after you laugh hard.
Thanks to many long nights with my best friends over the years, I've experienced it many times. Uncontrollable laughter is the best kind of laughter.
3. Love
It's a great feeling, but not my favorite. Knowing that someone loves you as much as you love them rocks, but of course it comes with some downsides. It's confusing, a lot of the time it's stupid, and sometimes it hurts.But, at the end of the day, you go to bed knowing that someone cares about you.
2. The feeling after doing something you thought you'd never do.
Thanks to that awesome man in my life, I've done so many things I thought I'd never do. We went to Yellow Springs and he made me jump off a waterfall into some scary dark water....with all of my clothes on. We went to Cedar Point and he made me ride Millenium Force. But, his efforts to make me ride Top Thrill Dragster were not successful. He's helped me become daring....but not THAT daring.
1. When people laugh at my jokes.
I feel super successful when I make people laugh. It's the best feeling in the world. I can't really elaborate much further.


My Overall Favorite Things, Ever.
5. Cuddling in bed all day and watching movies.
What's a better way to spend your day then cuddling up with someone you like a lot and watching crappy (or good, depending on your mood) movies all day long? Popcorn, hot cocoa and good company is all I need to have a good day.
4. Thursdays and Sundays.
I like getting done with school on thursdays and realizing that I don't have to go back on Friday. And around 9pm on Sundays I realize that I don't have class on Mondays either.
3. Working at Kings Island.
This was, by far, the best decision that I ever made. I met some of my best friends and my boyfriend there. So many of the good memories I have stem from that place and the people I've met there. I couldn't ask for better people to work with.
2. Deciding that everything happens for a reason.
What if I never worked at KI? What if I we never moved to Lebanon? Ohio? What if I still lived in New York? I love thinking about things like that. It's awesome ot think about how what has happened in my life has brought me to where I am today.
1. Cats.
I FUCKING LOVE CATS. maow.
