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.
