Let it snow Let it snow

well hello bloggers,

I've officially finished my last fall semester of my undergrad therefore I may actually have time to pay more attention to this online journal I've been neglecting. I woke up today to about 6 inches of snow outside my window, which is fine for a Saturday, but I work in a hospital so we don't close. There was no way I was going to make it with the lovely weather idiots calling for 2 feet by the time I got off work. I went back to sleep and woke up to the smell of homemade cookies being baked and fresh coffee......gotta love moms!!!! So I've been spending the day organizing my room, finding old funny notes from high school and middle school, and watching silly movies......gotta love snow days!!! Hope everyone has their Christmas shopping done, I don't!!!!
The picture above is from my big sister's 25th birthday in NYC a couple weeks ago......i just love her.....and yes I swear we're related!!!
XOXO

ketchup

alright here's the 411 on my life these day: I go to school, I go to the library, and I go out with friends on the weekends......that's about it. Going through my senior year of college is a lot more than I initially thought it would be. It's a lot more involvement and work then I ever thought it would have been. I've been holed up in the library a lot lately doing homework and research and then going home and sleeping and then doing it all over again. I've been going out basically once or twice a weekend and having drinks and having good fun with my loves, and then it's back to the grind come Sunday or Monday. I've been looking into a lot of graduate programs and even law school still, so figuring out the applications and deadlines has been eating my time as well. I've decided to get an enhancement on my Lasik surgery, which is going to suck but is TOTALLY worth it. Finding time for that is hard too but I'm trying to figure all of this out ASAP......WOW. It's Thursday so I have one more class then home to get some wine and relax tonight and start my weekend THANK GOD!!! Promise more updates and explanations on fun adventures soon!!

XOXO

p.s. I am feeling so much better but the gloomy weather here lately has been making me tired of course

I suck at blogging

Alright I've been M.I.A. lately but senior year of college is kicking my ass and I've had a TON going on and i promise I'll do better soon!!!

XOXO

eff the Flu

So I am currently holed up in my bedroom suffering from some sort of version of the flu......basically I feel like a overweight child is doing jumping jacks on my forehead and I'm dizzy and sneezing......AWESOME! I feel like absolute crap and am watching my Steelers slowly slipping to the Vikings. Let's hope that doesn't happen. Here are my "Feel Better" products of the day:

Let's hope I feel better soon because lord knows I do not have time to be sick these day!!

XOXO

Real friends don't fight VIA facebook

Alright I've pretty famous for keeping friends for a LONG time.....we're talking 10 years+. I have a friend who will remain nameless, we haven't been friends that long but I helped her get through a break-up last year and we quickly became very close. Flash forward a year later and she now has another boyfriend and I hadn't heard from her in months. Now I have NOTHING against having a boyfriend, most of my friends have boyfriends, I believe in finding a balance, especially if your friends mean something to you. This bitch (excuse my language) after about 3 or 4 months of nothing, decides to talk Via Facebook. When my responses got passive aggressive, she turned to text, then back to Facebook messaging. I mean if someone bothers me or means something to me and bother me the first thing I want to do is call them up and have it out. The problem is, this girl doesn't mean that much to me so I could care less. I mean I haven't heard from her in months and she wants to check up on me FINALLY Via Facebook!!??

Get a life chick.Luckily I have a sister and best friends who reassure me the girl is bananas for making ME feel like a bad friend. I have midterms I do not have time to fight at all much less Via Facebook or texting.

fall=failure

OK so I've noticed that with fall has come my failure to be productive, which is a problem seeing as fall also includes school. I just feel like sitting outside, or inside, with a book, tea and whatever I have decided to bake for the day. (and by bake I mean whatever my mom has baked/bought baked from the grocery store). I want to light candles and hang out on the couch at night and do nothing. Well, other then shop, but since I'm broke I've been doing a lot of the others. I also need to jump back on the blog spot because so many fun things have been going on in MY life. Sigh

XOXO

When life gives you lemons.....

OK I would just like to brag for a minute that one of my oldest friends is now an entrepreneur and has her own headband business!! I literally couldn't be more proud she is so awesome and is going to do great things in this world and this is her first big step. Take a look and get inspired to make your own talents into you business!!!

Why I'm on the 5 year plan in college

Alright so this is my "senior" year as an undergrad at school, besides doing a lot things that would my mother so proud my first two years at school, I've also changed my major. Like most others I have no clue what I want to do when I grow up, basically I want to travel for life, but I haven't found where to sign up yet. Alright so on Thursday this week I was going to school, had time to kill so I thought I would stop by the local mall in order to look for new weekend outfits. Long story short, I basically skipped two classes and spent time in the dressing room of Forever 21.

I purchased this dress, but it has short sleeves with a white top part and a blue bottom

I also purchased this:

The second one is rather short on me so I may either wear it as a tunic type of thing or wait a couple months and wear it with black tights and boots.

I got to campus after my shopping seizure and went to each professor and complained about "traffic" and was given all of the notes in class and basically a summary of the lecture. So I think this was a win-win situation, I got 2 new "going out" outfits and got a condensed class too. I do not recommend doing this a lot, but once and while skipping class is good for the soul.

XOXO

You can go to school but you can't buy class.....

The title of this post would be a quote from a Kanye West song, an artist I used to love to work-out to and dance to at bars. Now I want to punch him in the face for making little Taylor Swift practically cry last night at the VMA's. If it wasn't for Beyonce having a very classy moment the night would've been a huge downer for me. Seriously Kanye let's grow up and "change the color on your mood ring." That's another lyric he raps and need to live by......freakin idiot.

I've been SOOOOOOO busy lately I am literally multi-tasking like a champ these days, more later on that I am going back to my reading/highlighting/watching Gossip Girl/editing my women's study paper.

XOXO

Way to start a freakin week man

Alright dude so I had a fantastic long weekend, I did. I was not looking forward to getting up for my 8am this morning. Luckily I woke up early enough to go to get coffee before hitting the road......or so I thought. I get on the road and landing in AWESOME traffic. REALLY!!?? So my teacher locks us out if we're even a minute late and guess who got locked out!! Way to start a week!

I am now sitting in the library with a large cup of Starbucks Awake tea and doing HW until my class next class at 2pm, which is a Women's Study class on religion and customs, and the book we're reading is basically like reading German it's so odd. Awesome start to the week at school!! I brought The Secret with me to school and it looks like I'm going to need it to get through the week!!

XOXO

School Fool

Alright so another, hopefully the final, year as an undergrad has began. Well my first class Monday had a hot teacher, odd because I've never had any type of good looking teacher in my life, class went well, whatever. Second class of Monday walk in and another hot teacher, OK WTF?!! He was kind of hippie, new age, granola, vegan hot but still after years at this college I take what I can get. Last teacher was a chick and not hot.

Today I had a teacher I had before and shes tough but good. Unfortunately that class is at 8am, which I haven't done since freshman year, but I hope it's worth it. Now I get to sit around campus until 2pm for my 2nd class. Which is a bummer but what are you gonna do?

I've been trying to look somewhat presentable for classes lately because why the hell not.

This weekend isn't my weekend to work so I plan on going out and having a good time to celebrate my last 1st week of Fall as an undergrad. Any excuse to go out for a few drinks right.

XOXO

go shorty.....it's your birthday

I'm officially 23 today!! dear god I'm getting old!!!! I think the family celebration today and the friends celebration tomorrow night at a bar!!!! I'll fill you all in on my birthday gifts to myself!!

xoxo

Fantastically lazy

Alright we are upon my last week of summer and I've spent the last 2 weeks basically doing a lot of nothing.....a lot of time in my sweats, hanging out around the house....couple fun things this weekend was hanging out with a couple of my friends basically playing games and drinking around a kitchen table. Something I haven't done in a long time and just became a fun night of randomness. Here's a picture of our host Kerri and I after a couple of drinks:
Another fun thing I did on Thursday night was heading down to D.C. for the Sugarland/Keith Urban concert. It was FAB!!! I adore, adore, adore Sugarland and Jennifer Nettles, they put on a fantastic show love and I never get sick of them. This is a great picture of the amazing Jennifer Nettles I got, and we had FAB seats as well.
I could literally go on, and on about how amazing Keith Urban is live. I mean I was never a HUGE fan until I saw him live about 4 years ago. It's hard to find a performer more talented then Keith Urban. The man rocks out at the guitar, has amazing vocals, and involves the crowd in such a great way during his whole show. I love, love, loved this concert and it was good to spend some time with mom and my sister before we all go back to school and pass each other during the week.
XOXO

So we run.......

Alright in order to maintain some sense of peace in what is becoming a pretty interesting home life I've taken to nightly runs around the neighborhood.....it around 1.5-2ish miles I'm doing and it's feeling pretty great. I'm thinking that in order to be of sound mind I've got to get my body back to being sound and strong. A little new agey and zen but you whatever works man. I've even been doing push-ups and light weights too. Crazy but the runs help clear my head and just blasting the I-pod and letting it all go is awesome......only about 2 more weeks of summer and my birthday is next week as well. Having a good time and spending it with some good friends....picture from one of my nights out lately.....that fab shirt I'm wearing which I got tons of compliments on and a couple free drinks is from Target!! Love it!!

XOXO

Why can't we be friends.....why can't we be friends

Ok Do you have any idea how hard it is to live with your mom and your sister when they don't really get along. I love my mom and my sister more then anything in this world and they just can't get along with each other anymore......it's really starting to wear on me because I see both sides and I can't pick one. GRRRRRR I'd rather be working at the hospital everyday then at home dealing with the tension. I need to make a wine stop on the way home and just hole up in my room and relax because once I get off my 10 hour shift here at the hospital the last thing I'm going to want to do is go home and listen to a bunch of bickering with the two of them.

XOXO

So heres the deal..........

I know I SUCK at this fun blogging thing lately but theres going to be an update hopefully Friday or this weekend......going to Pittsburgh tomorrow for my first Steeler game of the season!!!!!!!!

XOXO

I love Shark Week

OK I know it makes me a HUGE nerd and a weirdo but I freakin LOVE Shark Week on the discovery channel. I was always in love with the water and wanted to be a marine biologist when I was little and I have a huge fascination with Sharks. Their one of the oldest species of animals around and they're just rad. I worked all weekend which was not fun, but coming home tonight to find out that it was Shark Week made it better!! This is my last week of my summer class and I basically have a final and a 5-page paper to go before I get my summer back!!

XOXO

Seriously his names Ed?

Alright I admit I did not watch the Bachelorette at all this season but I watched the last 10 minutes of the finale last night and she picked a dude named Ed......I'm sorry ED??!! I'm sure I'll get past it but I feel like Ed seemed like an odd name on a reality show where the men are named Jesse, Andrew, and those types of things, whatever I'll get over it.

I am BEYOND ready to have my summer class over, I want my lazy free time back and this class which I thought was going to be fantastic and easy is tedious and easy, dammit.

I need to keep up with my blogging I just have nothing interesting to say other then I saw the Ugly Truth this weekend and LOVED it!!!!

XOXO

see theres this thing called the future

Ok so I've been very behind on the blogging scene lately due to me being busy with summer class and freakin the hell out about the future. It may sound stupid but I guess I never really thought about this whole Real World thing in my life. Like I knew it was going to happen but I never actually thought I was going to get there!!! My goodness I need to stop worrying!!!

In lighter news: My best friend since 2nd grade and practically my sister is turning 22 tomorrow!!! I love her so much and I feel like we've had our ups and downs but real sisters get through everything and I love her very much!!!

This is her and I at our other best friend's 21st last year!!! We've had a couple drinks to please excuse our eyes.

On another note, I need to get motivated during my runs again so can anyone give me a couple of good songs to jam out to during work-outs. And I am a Magazine addict and to entice myself to go to the gym I am saving my magazines for the gym and am refusing to read them until I exercise.

XOXO

Reasons it sucks to be a chick

Ever had one of those days when being a girl just SUCKS?? You realize that if you were a dude you wouldn't have these types of issues, let's list them:

• Maintenance required: Hair, eyebrows, legs, makeup, nails& feet, etc......guys can have the grossest nails, hair etc and no one cares
• Doctors: It seems as if women have to deal with more doctors and uncomfortable doctors visits then boys will ever have to in their lifetime, and ladies all of us have experienced that yearly appointment you dread
• Double standards: If I wanna go out and get drunk and watch football I must be a lesbian, or If I wanna go out and drink and kiss a boy I'm a slut......sucky
• That time of the month-enough said
• Formal Dresses - OK I love shopping but those days when I need a Formal Dress and have to search forever is annoying, plus sizes vary and you either leave depressed or happy.
• Bikinis- Have you ever seen that pudgy dude at the beach with his smokin hot girlfriend in a string bikini and thought WTF?? All girls dread summer for the bathing suit shopping

I'm sure there will be more to come but this is just my gripes for today, tonight I'm going out to have a lot to drink, dance, and have a girl slumber party to celebrate being a chick!!!

XOXO

A Miami "Summer Affair"

Have you ever bought a book and it is in no way the book you thought you were buying? I try to stick to the same authors because I know their writing style and I know the flow they like to use.....I bought this book:
And I thought it would be different and am completely disappointed. It's about an older mother with a husband and children who cheats on her husband with her charity-co chair person. Ok on the description it did not mention her having children or her actual age, seeing as I try to read books about single women my age, I would never have bought it.......dammit.....I'm still reading it thought so by tomorrow I will have a complete analysis of it.
Again I am getting sucked into 2 Bravo shows which are basically trash: NYC Prep and Miami Social. There is something about the way Bravo formats shows that I just love and end up getting sucked into. NYC Prep is pathetic and stupid and I just watch it in order to have something to hate on during my day.
Miami Social just started tonight and I will review it after but right now all I'm getting is a show about a lot of Tan, maybe-gay, people. Yawn
XOXO

Just another Manic Monday

Well today has been eventful and not at the same time but lets go back: I spent my weekend in Pittsburgh cleaning out Grandma's house some more and got to have a fantastic night out with one of my best friends Kerri on the South Side! I had the best time and I've known Kerri my whole life and our dad's were best friends and I adore her and it was good to spend some time with someone who knows me so well. I came home did some homework, watched Sex and the City movie and passed out.

Today woke up, summer class, home for homework and laying out, gym for working out and came home to find my basement had flooded.........AWESOME!!! Most of my house smells like Mildew and my mom is flipping out. I need to move out!!!! grrrrrr hope the rest of the week is better then today!!!

XOXO

Another one bites the dust.........

Alright I just began my summer class, which is the reason for the lack of blogging these days. It's a relatively easy class due to my MCOM major, and mostly always a bunch of chicks in class. I'm sitting waiting for the professor to come in and in walks this guy who is really attractive (for MCOM majors) and has the prettiest eyes ever (I'm an eyes girl). So I've basically been staring at him for 3 days now and this morning walking to class I see him pulling up on his bike. When I say bike you probably picture an actual bike or a motorcycle.....it was neither. It was a light blue, Carolina blue scooter......A FREAKIN SCOOTER!! and he was wearing a matching helmet.......so there goes my eye candy.

Out tonight with a couple drinks with my bff Catie!!!

XOXO

I'm Backkkkkkkkk

Alright I'm back from a FAB vacation in FL. I didn't get to do or see (sorry EK and CK!!) everything I wanted to but it was such a spontaneous and fun vacation. We hit Disney 2 days and relaxed by the pool in the sun the other days!! I had the best time and got back and started my summer class today. More updates later, I need to catch up on my fave blogs now!!

Me and my sister in Epcot on the 4th!!
Me and my family at Magic Kingdom!!!

Vaca!!!

Alright off to Florida tomorrow for a couple of days!! Can't wait to spend some QT with my mommy and sister in the sunshine!!!Here is a picture of the best part of the Baltimore O's team!!! He's such a cutie....and look how awesome our seats were!!! Have a good week everyone!!!
XOXO

How to tell if hes into you....or not

Alright see I don't usually like nice guys so I used to direct and even blunt honestly on those guys feelings but when you are hanging out with a nice guy how in the hell can you tell if he likes you??!!

Anyways..........good weekend, O's game was fantastic, 11 rows back from Home Plate, only complaint was the $6.75 beers. EW. Grad party last night turned into a party hopping night all over and ended up playing cards with said nice guy, best friend and her BF till around 4:30 AM. Good god!!!

FL on Tuesday for some sunbathing and vacation!!!!

XOXO

MJ RIP and CK gives me another award

Alright so MJ died giving me the #100 WTF moment of my day!!! and I can't believe it.....once again I was never a HUGE fan but I've gotten down to a couple of his songs in my days and leaving behind 3 small children is a horror.......on to other things.

One of my fave people Ms. PlanAcourtingly has awarded me another award and this time I actually figured out how to do this.

1. List 7 things that make you Awe-Summm

2. Pass the award onto 7 bloggers that you love

3. Tag those bloggers to let them know they are now Queens too (and link back to the Queen who tagged you)

Alright so here we go....my level of awesome is not a high one but I'll give it a go:

• I can literally name the Designer that a celebrity is wearing before I look at the caption due to an US Weekly and fashion Mag addiction.
• I have a huge music addiction and my IPod is currently malfunctioning and pissing me off and I am like jonsing for it like a cig addict
• I have watched every episode of Gilmore Girls so many times I can probably quote the ladies
• I think I may be allergic to cigarette smoke......for sure.....and that makes me awesome
• I love to cook and mow the lawn.....I am going to be the best wife ever
• I read books over and over again, I don't like surprises and a good book is always a good book
• I am sarcastic to a point of insanity, if you don't know me you probably take me seriously too.....sorry

And my 7 are:

Miss Monogram

Simply said by Simply me

The New Black

Weight for Me!

Just Moi!

College Prep

Perfectly Imperfect

Farrah, real housewives, and the real world

Ok today we lost an angel.....literally, Farrah died today at 62, I was never a huge fan or really dug her but anyone dying at 62 is a tragedy and I feel for her loved ones and family!!!

Onto the trash: The real housewives of new jersey reunion Part 1 began on Tuesday night and with all the build up, it really turned out to be quite tame and kind of boring. I don't dig that Bravo is now turning these things into 2 night events because they save all the really great drama till the second segments. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Caroline, and I wish she was a part of my family!! Shes so awesome, so protective and lovely, for someone from Jersey. Danielle is trash-tastic and I totally love that her face is permanently fixed that way. The rest of the ladies I could care less its just good entertainment. The Real World:Cancun started yesterday, and there is not hot dudes or a blond chick......EW!! Going out with some people tonight for some drinks and then another party weekend!! O's game tomorrow!!!

XOXO

"for better or for when you cheat on me"

I'm completely freaked out/upset with Jon and Kate +8 deciding to divorce. I understand infidelity, and all of that but when you take those wedding vows, when you make that promise to be with each other, you make the decision to be together through EVERYTHING!!! I honestly don't know if I ever want to get married, but if I ever do I know that it will be forever, like my parents were. I know that if I decide to make that step with someone that we will be together working through everything and anything together. Deciding to get married and bring children into the world, you have a commitment that is bigger then yourselves. I don't get how you can have 8 kids and have time to cheat on your wife, or have time to fight about everything. Needless to say this may be one of the reasons I don't believe in marriage haha.

XOXO

Take me out to the ball game!!!

Alright everyone hope you guys all had a wonderful weekend and a happy father's day. It was a tough day for me to get through but I did it!!! Today I'm hitting the gym for a couple miles and then going to a baseball game with my momma!! We have a fun minor league team here that is nearby and it's always a good time for hot dogs and a couple beers!!! This is going to be a good week I can feel it!!! Going to the O's game on Friday with a couple people and that should be a good time too. I think it might be another party girl weekend so I'll keep you updated!! Going to Florida in a week for Vaca and some sun!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!

XOXO

Live it up

Alright so with summer being rainy and cold lately, I ventured to the local public library to grab a couple of books to get me through the days that there wasn't a Real Housewives marathon on!! I happen to ADORE Rachel Zoe and have always wanted to read her books. I don't love her for being the skinny, sick looking lady she may be, I love her LOVE of fashion and respect for fashion, and how she dresses her clients to make them look like her!!! I got her book and have been reading it lately
Alright so one of my favorite parts of the book she mentions that you should "Live it up". I happen to completely agree. I think that since we're young and in this place right now we should do exactly that, to live it up!!! Its a fun summer read for anyone who has a love for high fashion and styling! I also got Hester Browne's new book as well, and Tim Gunn's too. I'll let you know how that goes!!
"live it up, and love and laugh with abandon, too. An open heart is contagious. Everything is better for it." Rachel Zoe
XOXO

She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts

Alright just a quick one here: how do you get over someone you've been dealing with for years? It's never going to happen and it's not even a good idea but for some reason you just can't shake that feeling when you talk to/see that person. I guess when you find someone new but for Christ sakes sometimes it's just like this crazy thing that you must have dreamt up in your head that the person just totally gets you and you get them yet it never works.

Alright I'm off to the library to get some books for my grandma then doing another sweat sesh at the gym to get this off of me. And I feel like Taylor Swift may be younger then me yet I still love the way she writes about boys!!!!

XOXO

New week, new goals

Alright people another list of things to do seeing as I've basically been having a marathon of partying these last couple of days I need to get my life back to "normal":

• Will go to the gym and work on my cardio as well as weights and crunches
• Will eat well all week!! Or at least most of the week again
• Will clean my room up so I don't freak out every time I step into it!!
• Will organize closet because I realized I don't wear half of the things I own
• Will not drink beer more then 1 day this week, because I feel gross
• Will try and help out the family since I've basically spent every night out since Thursday night

Alright that's it lets see how the week goes, I've had so much fun lately I've been neglecting things with myself. GET MOTIVATED!!!!

XOXO

My first blog award and a girls night!!

Alright so the lovely, wonderful Ms. PlanAcourtingly has given me my first blog award ever! I love this girl in real life and she is somewhat of a younger sister I never had so, thank you lady and I look forward to returning the gesture soon!! However it might take me a little to figure out how to get that onto my blog!!!! Going out tonight with my sister, her friend Katie and my BFF Catie!! Should be a good time and I'm the designated driver so no drinking for me but these ladies always give me entertainment!!! More later!!

XOXO

I love those summer days!!

Alright so after a couple of long days in the Burgh cleaning out Grandma's house I'm FINALLY home!!! I had the best time though and went to the Kenny Chesney concert at Heinz field. Stayed in my fave hotel downtown and since we all stay there so often the manager of the hotel sent up a bottle of champagne to our room. Mom and I were thrilled and completely confused at the same time. Well a bottle of champagne and a couple coronas later we stumbled our way over to catch the last opening act, my favorite band ever, SUGARLAND!!! I Love, love, LOVE Jennifer Nettles. I love the band and they were fantastic, even putting on Pens jerseys for a couple of songs which thrilled the audience and me and mom!!! It's so good to be home and back to my summer of basically doing nothing. Went to the gym and got 2 miles in for around 20 minutes, and I almost died!! I'll get it back!!!

XOXO

To Grandmother's house we go

Alright this blog is coming to you from the great city of Pittsburgh because I am here for a couple days to clean out my grandparents house with my mommy. What is it with old people and keeping random shit their whole lives. Fun Finds include:

• A box of Papers from the Nixon impeachment
• Old Betty and Veronica comics
• Old records (Elvis, Frank Sinatra and the Beatles I kept!!!!)
• Around 100 Jugs of water (in case Russia bombed Pittsburgh?)
• Clothes from when my mother was in college

Overall a very enlightening visit resulting in when I go home dumping out everything over 3 years old!!!!! Got to meet some of mom's best friends from high school which was very cool!! AND THE PENS WON!!!!

xoxo

Eminem got served

OK so did anyone watch the MTV movie awards last night. I've grown to kind of hate these award shows but of course I watched. At one point Sasha Barron Cohen dropped out of the rafters and onto Eminem sitting in the audience. Cohen was wearing a thong I think and landed ass up/ass in Eminem's face. Ok so it shows Eminem freakin the hell out and storming off. Planned? If it was that Eminem is a better actor then I ever gave him credit for because he and all of his bodyguards looked PISSED. Very entertaining!! Also LOVED the Harry Potter preview and the new Twilight movie preview!!! Andy Sandberg had me laughing enough and everyone looked FAB!! I had a FANTASTIC weekend and I hope everyone else did as well!!!

XOXO

Sometimes a dress makes everything better

Alright so sometimes you just need a new dress! I love love LOVE summer dresses and today I just needed a new dress. I hadn't been to Old Navy in forever because some of their clothes depress me because they are so poorly made I can't handle it. I went in today and looked around and found this lovely dress which is adorable and fit well and looked cute and I got it for $15. YAYYAYAY I might wear it to a BBQ I'm going to tomorrow or I might save it and wear it to the Kenny concert next weekend......and since they are in different cities I may wear it to both! I now need to go find a cute pair of black wedges to go with it!! That is the goal for tomorrow!!!! I'm also going to start doing the Shred which Weight For Me and a bunch of other ladies have agreed to begin together!! JOIN IN!!!!! I hear it's on YouTube and the DVD can be bought at Target!!!! Let me know!!!

XOXO

To Do List

I've never been one for making lists and all of that but here it goes:

1. Find a dress for a wedding I'm going to next weekend

2. Find the patience to help clean out grandma's house next week with my mom.....boo

3. Find a cute sundress to wear to the Kenny concert next Saturday night in the Burgh

4. Get a tan of some sort fake or not

5. Start looking for another job I don't dread going to

6. Try and work out 6 days a week

7. Get I-tunes card for a summer Mix CD

I'll probably do about 1/2 of this list......hate making lists......ohh need new shoes too!!

XOXO

It's time to get up and do something

OK So this summer I've decided to become a runner, and a exerciser again because I just want my body to feel strong like it had last year. So tomorrow I am waking up and running, promise, or at least attempting to run. I like how I feel when I start my day with something like that so I'm pretty determined to do it. I went to the library the other day before I laid out and got a couple of books. One is the book Madonna's brother had written about her.

Alright I've never been a HUGE Madonna fan. I don't look up to her, shes not one of my musical icons/idols, I know it might make me sound horrible I just am not a huge fan of her at all. Given when one of her oldies comes on at the bar I rock out, but I do not own one of her CDs. So this book paints a pretty bad picture of Madonna. And how pissed off would your sibling have to be in order to write such a horrible book about you? I mean it's something, not worth buying but totally worth a library read. I'm enjoying summer and I hope everyone else is too!!

XOXO

And it's 2 bare feet on the dashboard <3

OK so last night was the Kenny Chesney concert and the official start of summer in my house!!!! I got my grades for the semester and all of my hard work paid off so last night was a huge celebration. My mom drove and brought a friend of hers, and my sister and I pregamed in the back seat.
I know we look nothing alike but I swear we come from the same parents!!!! I just happened to get blonde hair and green eyes and she got brown and brown. She also has a addiction to tanning which has caused this dark complexion shes got going on. We had such a good time and as usual Kenny was amazing!! Today I'm going to lay out and get some more sun and tomorrow I'm working. Mom went to visit a friend who lives at the beach and Jackie is going out with a bunch of girlfriends. Since I work at 7 am tomorrow, I'm probably just going to get some sushi, little wine, and enjoy my Jon and Kate Plus 8 marathon that is on.
XOXO

SUMMERTIME IS FINALLY HERE!!!

YAY I cannot believe I made it through the semester and I have a month before my summer class starts LOL. I'm thrilled and I have 3 more required classes to go before I graduate!!!! This is a pretty great feeling!! Doing drinks tomorrow with my longest best friend C and then Friday is the Kenny Chesney concert with mom and sister!!! It's basically a tradition in our house that it's not officially summer until we go to a Kenny concert! He was my first country music love, and I never get sick of seeing his performances. He really is an amazing performer and it is always a good time, especially for me and my sis!!!
XOXO

Summer is so close I can taste it :-)

Alright people T-minus 24 hours until it is officially my summer!!!! possibly one of my last summer's ever since I will have to enter the real world soon!!! tomorrow I am taking my final at 10:15AM, selling my books back(always a depressing endeavor) and doing some celebrating with my B seen above.......I cannot wait!! PENS game on tonight!!!! LET'S GO!!!

XOXO

we're gonna party like finals are over.....

Oh goodness I can't believe that this semester is basically over. I have put in so much work and hours this semester I've never wanted summer so much in my life. Last night went out for a my friend Luke's bday with a bunch of friends which was fun. Top is a picture of me, B, and luke at the bar. We had a good time and I feel like i deserved a good time. Now I am going to get ready to go out with my friend kerri for her birthday celebration, and this is just a straight party weekend!!! Hope everyone will have a good weekend!!!!

When one door closes.........

Alright people some exciting news......I met a boy I might actually spend some time with beyond on drunk night at the bar!!! AWESOME.......I know him from my best friend, seems nice and we're texting......who knows but I smell summer-something!!!!!

Alright now the Pens are on and I'm from Pittsburgh so I'm watching the game while drinking wine from my Steelers wine glass.....classy I know. Last day of classes tomorrow and then the O's game @ 7 with B!!!!! Going to be a fun night!!! Hope everyone had a good weekend/Mother's day!!!

xoxo

Love your babygirl.......

Alright its May 5th 2009 therefore it is 6 years since my dad died. WOW SIX years without him, that's intense. It's been a tough day but I'm almost through it, I have very little patience today with school and group work. My dad was the best man I've ever known and was such a huge part of who I am. He died a couple months before I turned 17 and I feel lucky to have had him for that long, and also cheated of my lifetime with him. His personality is a lot of who I am today, so its sad to think that people I meet now do not completely get an understanding of who I am because they had never met my daddy.....I miss him, and that hole never goes away I am just getting used to the pain. He died of the same brain tumor that David Cook's brother just died of so I am glad that attention is being brought to the horrific disease that Brain Tumors are. I just miss him........

Oh I have a boyfriend......his name is college.....its very serious

I've neglected my blog lately because I've been so crazy busy with school work that I haven't had time to blog.......or for that matter eat. It's been so hot here and with school and running around I've literally probably had one meal a day, crazy I know, and I never believed in the whole "too busy to eat" excuse but I totally get it now. About 2 more weeks of the madness and then its HELLO SUMMER!!!! stressing about the future is put on hold because I'm too busy to stress about anything but school work. Weekend plans: Friday-First Friday's in BA, Saturday-Towson for fair and party at B's and then Sunday- group work at school......Hope everyones having a very good week!!!

XOXO

Reminder: I'm scared of needles.......

So I've been sick on and off for about a month straight. So today after suffering through a 10-hour shift at the hospital I decided to suck it up and go to patient first. Wait was so short I didn't think it was going to be as bad as I've heard. Got back to my "room" and the doctor came in. OK he was the goofiest, kookiest doctor I've ever seen. He was just odd and trying to make jokes and be weird while I was coughing up a lung. He ordered and chest X-ray to clear out bronchitis and then he said the dreaded words.

"I want to get some blood from you too while you're here"

UMM WHATTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????? OK so my 2 greatest fears in life: snakes and needles. I tried to remain calm throughout the X-ray and then the person who was going to draw my blood walked in. Now he was probably 20-years old at the most, which to me created an automatic panic attack. Now the kid was SO nervous, kind of rambling, that I felt so bad I didn't even give him the regular "You mess up I punch you" speech I give everyone. When he thought he got a vein he got ready and stuck me, nothing. Pulled the needle out, moved it maybe an inch and stuck me again, NOTHING. At that point I almost lost it but I knew he was so nervous and upset that I just kept my cool. He got it on the 3rd try but WOW it hurt like hell

Ended up leaving Patient First with strong cough medicine and a Z-pack, exactly what I predicted. I'm 3 tubes of blood shorter and now completely traumatized.

With some good red wine and my brand new shoes.........

OK have you ever had that week when you had no clue what happened........the week that went by in a flash which left you saying "what the hell"?! well this was my week! I had some sort of mid-mid life crisis where I even lost it in a Panera when talking about the future with my Mom, and I did so much school work I almost lost my mind. Came home today and my Mom had bought me a bottle of Shiraz and Grey's was on...........so hopefully that is a good sign of things to come!!! I need some retail therapy tomorrow!! I need new shoes!!!!!! I need a man.....ew no I don't. I'll let you know........

Worst place I could be sent is the Congo......

OK so I have this itch to get out, out of my environment, out of my house, out in general, I just want to run away and start over. Now my life is not that bad at all, I'm very lucky, but I have never been in one place for such a long time. When my Dad was alive, we were always going somewhere or doing something, so I'm used to a fast paced life. My mom's worked hard to try and keep up that pattern for us, but I need a faster escape. So last night I lost my mind and decided to look at the Peace Corps Website. I looked at all the information and thought it was a free, and accessible way to get out. I looked at all the places people in the corps are sent and honestly there are some damn scary places. The worst one I could find was the Congo. Coincidentally there was a representative that was visiting my school today and I took a meeting with one. Well when I informed my mother about this, she kind of flipped out.

Now if you know me you know I'm not exactly the roughing it kind of girl. I like being within about five minutes of a Target, and I like running water, and I'm afraid of public transportation. So the Peace Corps could either leave me crying for 2 years, or make me a better person. My mother has decided that she would rather send me anywhere I want to go in the world, paid for, then have me go into the Peace Corps. She is determined that we can find something I want to do that doesn't require health check-ups for malaria.........I'll think of another way to get out tomorrow :-)

My worst nightmare

So I've heard so much about this new movie coming out on HBO with Drew Barrymore, whom I adore, so I decided to do a little YouTube-ing and found the original documentary of Grey Gardens. Now I watched the whole thing and am fascinated and completely horrified at the same time. These women literally living in solitude for years and years in this house with cats everywhere is like literally my worst nightmare. I love my mother, probably more then anything in the world, but the thought of being stuck in isolation with her out of obligation for years in a house that is literally falling apart around us terrifies me. I needed a shower immediately after watching it, but I admire the story and can't wait to catch the new version on HBO soon.

i'm single and apparently i have something wrong with me now

OK, so if I step into one more room or bar or mall and see someone I know from High School or just around my town that asks me the 2 major questions:

When are you graduating?

Are you seeing anyone?

"Probably in December and NO!"

Dear freakin god since when is the fact that you are seeing someone almost as big as a deal as if you are graduating college? Honestly anyone who knows me knows that I don't "see" people and if I was, you wouldn't know it until I was basically engaged or had too much to drink and was actually showing affection. I'm just no that girl, never have been. I have this feeling of having too much to do right now in my life, but I'm guessing that if it was the right person they would fit. You know what I'm not worried about it.....I'm 22 god damn years old, going to be 23 in a couple months, and I don't think I have some disease just because I haven't had some long term, life altering relationship by now. Kill me!!

I like to think that all of these people who have been dating forever and have been in love 5 times by the time they're 20 will be divorced and miserable by the time I actually make it work with someone fantastic.......evil but whatever. I'd rather spend my time wandering Barnes and Noble or Nordstroms then sitting at my boyfriends house that he shares with what 2 or 3 other smelly dudes playing Wii or Xbox, because at 22 that's about the only people I could have been in a relationship with......call it picky, I just know what I want and I want to have fun when I'm young, legal and blonde.

Won ton soup for the soul

Alright so of course I have seem to have come down with a mild case of strep throat in the last couple of day. How do I know its strep? I checked Web MD.com and my sister the nursing student checked my throat as well, I'm not a fan of the doctor's office so this will have to do. My mother being the amazing woman that she is went to pick me up some Won-ton soup yesterday. I've always hated chicken noodle and ever since I was little and sick my moms been getting me Won-Ton, it's my thing don't judge me.

It has also been raining cats and dogs for the past 2 days. Let me just say nothing is worse then going to school in the rain when you are sick. It's not like high school where you can just skip all the days you don't feel well. Professors do not care that you feel like your head is going to explode and your throat is going to close up at any minute.

OK, so last night was another Real Housewife of NYC episode which I live for, I love the Bravo network and all of it's doings but Bethenny Frankel is the reason I watch this one show. I am constantly adoring both Jill and Bethenny, while wanting to strangle Ramona and LuAnn. I mean Ramona's face is bothering me and I know that's vain and non feminist of me to make fun of others looks, the woman's eyes are going to eventually pop so far out of her head they are going to land on someone Louboutin's. The show was somewhat entertaining but not the

amazing drama it's been feeding us lately.

On a different note, I want to have fun and be tan and get my butt back into working out but with a failing immune system and the ran, obviously God wants me to be in the house, drinking tea and eating chocolate. Well if it's what God wants......

sometimes life makes lemonade for you.......

Ok so the plan for last night, showing the bitches up, can you say score. I've been doing this soul searching, zen, reading up on good karma thing and it kinda TOTALLY paid off last night. OK i know that going out with the purpose to piss people off sounds like my karma is gonna totally be thrown off, but my definition of showing bitches up includes killing people who I know don't like me with kindness. I love making people who I know don't like me, end up loving me and thinking I am the coolest chick in the world. Let's just say missions accomplished.

My lovely best friend K, seen above, and myself went looking fantastic and completely ignored the boys who we no longer care for, and had the best time ever. I found this fabulous shirt in my closet that I got from H&M years ago and forgot I had which was totally flattering since I am out of shape lately, my jeans fit perfectly, and I put on my fantastic Christmas present to myself a couple years ago, my 4 inch black suede boots, they are FAB.

So I felt amazing and at the first stop bar, ran into my longest and bestest friend in the world C, we had a catch up chat. C and I are practically sisters so when her loser, horrible, recent ex boyfriend walked in the eye contact was hilarious. Later I informed horrible ex boyfriend that I was still not in his fan club and that didn't go over too well. I had not eaten dinner and was on my 3rd vodka tonic when we hit the 2nd stop on our bar fun, and K and I ran into the loser boys we don't care for anymore. Their group of friends I adore so we hung out with them and ignored our significant loser others. It was a fantastic time, I had too much to drink and so did K and we just had some good, young, drunk fun.

Sometimes I think that I have too much fun for my own good and I've been literally loving life recently, it's just amazing. I'm a very lucky and blessed girl and I know it. I feel like I've earned this time right now and I'm just going to enjoy the rest of the ride........

XOXO

Rain rain go away

So today I was going to wake up, clean and do things like that then go to the O's game tonight with my besty Beth(seen above with me) a bunch of people........well seeing as it is going to thunderstorm all night plans got cancelled.....dammit.......I'm not a huge baseball fan because well I'm from Pittsburgh and the Pirates haven't been good in the whole 22 years I've been on this earth. I was going for the fun, the boy, and the beer. Kinda ruined my Friday plans but seeing as it's Easter weekend tons of people are coming back into town therefore I will be finding something else to do tonight!!!

It's official, I am completely boyless, no one on the horizon and eww I don't like it. Usually I am at least speaking to a potential and anyone that knows me knows that I am in NO way a relationship kind of girl, but it's always fun to have that boy that you get excited about when you see him or he texts you. So I'm going to be just having fun and looking for someone to catch my eye. I don't have a type other then he has to be sarcastic and funny and have good eyes.....I seem to like them tall and not really very nice, but I'm trying to change that trend right now.

I am literally almost completely broke so I am doing little things to make money in order to go out, it's kind of sad, but this is what happens when you hate your job and only work every-other weekend. I keep wanting to buy new clothes lately even though there are plenty in my closet I have yet to actually wear our, I am like one of those horrible celebrities that almost refuse to wear the same clothes out because I might get photographed, pathetic but in these Facebook photo times I get concerned. to be continued.........

Just call me the motivational speaker

OK so truth be told I have always been somewhat of a Dr. Phil in my group of friends. I just always have this need to help.....and I may come off as somewhat horrible and sarcastic but if you are my friend I will literally do anything to help you. This has been fun and great and all but 23 years later, I'm a little ad viced out man. There comes a point when your friends just start not asking you how your are doing and get right to what you can fix for them.

Let me preface by saying that I have been lucky to have very long term friends who know me and do not do such things, however I have cultivated friends since second grade that seem to see me as some sort of personal fix it person. As I get older I find myself less happy about fixing their problems, and though my life has been problem free, I find that not worrying or thinking about their problems frees up what little brain space I actually still have available.

And moving on..........Today I signed up for what will be my last semester in my undergraduate career. And two of those classes are Art classes. I draw and have the handwriting of a 2nd grader but who wants to stress out their last semester? I did some yoga last night and am going to do it again in an hour and my body has that fantastic stretched feeling to it right now.

Want to get back into the gym however, my sister has helped herself to my I-pod and I have yet to see it again. Being the youngest I have little say in my actual belongings. Also purchased a little book from B&M yesterday which is about the Red String which blocks negative energy and looks from you......hey whatever helps right!!??

Back to the hills

And tonight is THE night!! the hills is back for what apparently is the last season. I've always loved Lauren Conrad from the laguna days till the hills days and I have to say I'm stoked to watch it today. I, like other people have kind of been overdosed with the hills characters lately, Heidi and Spencer need to just go away. I watched an interview with them on the View a while back and literally laughed through the whole thing because Spencer is such an idiot and poor Heidi has gotten sucked into his stupidity. I think that all of the girls themselves have turned into style icons of my generation and I've definitely taken to Lauren and Audrina's style in some way. I'm totally guilty of taking a Lauren Conrad picture to the hair salon and asking for her cut!!

Alright so this week is gonna be good I can feel it!! I went to fed hill this weekend to hang out with some of my loves!! got a little banged up and danced my butt off!! it was a good time and I loved it!!! I was going to try and post a picture but I'm still learning this whole thing so it won't go where I want it to!! I am really going to start getting my body back into some sort of shape. I just want to feel strong. I've been eating better and following the rules of Ms. Bethenny Frankel's Naturally Thin book......which is fabulous and I love it!!! Boys are fun and random.....met one in the bar the other night named Ben and he was adorable but that was it. Trying to avoid boys with the first names which start with the letter B....

My grandmother got to see me walking hungover into my house the next morning carrying my jeans and heels and a bag of McD's wearing someone else's sweatshirt and shorts.....dear god that was a moment!! haha

Money is little these days but I am DYING to buy a pair of chucky heel sandals to rock all summer long!! into layering necklaces too right now......can't wait till the sun is out 24/7!!! I'm over the rain!!!

Life is a funny trip

Alright I've been sick and CRAZY busy with school lately that I've fallen behind on my blogging completely. The big graduation day is coming closer and closer......though i will be an extra semester senior.....and I'm still starting to panic. the plan as of right now is to go to grad school before actually entering the "real world"......but i keep thinking once i walk across the stage and get my BA who the hell is going to want to jump right back into school? then again I am not too eager to grow up as much as I'm eager to move out. One kind of has to do with the other though so I guess I will figure it out in time....... more late I'm just being lazy in the library.

Life can change in a minute

Its one of those days when you feel something fall out of our world.......Natasha Richardson died today after suffering a brain injury from a ski accident. Things happen to celebrities and sometimes one passes away, and unfortunately you become almost immune to feeling bad when people you don't know have died.......this is a death I feel sad about. The fact that this beautiful, mother, wonderful actress had a minor fall that has ripped her from the Earth is just sad. I can say that I along with millions of other girls who watched The Parent Trap look at Richardson and wanted her to be the mother you came home from camp to.......I will always remember that warmth that you felt when her smile showed up on the screen.

I have been very fortunate to realize that in fact life can change in a minute. I can still remember my minute quite vividly and it changed my life story forever and I have yet to fully recover. I don't think I ever will. Losing my father at 16 to brain cancer wasn't ever in the cards and hit me like a truck and that mark doesn't go away. I feel for her two young sons and my heart goes out to her sister and her family in general. Having been left with one parent, I am lucky that I have the strongest mother in the world as my mother. I know Richardson's husband looks to have the same strength.........today's been tough ya'll.

Ok so last night was St Paddys day......and today I'm back from a fun night of drinking and running into people all over my town here. It was a good night and I had the best time without any weirdness or running into people I don't care for. It was good and I have this fun new outlook on life recently and am really enjoying this whole thing. Got Bethenny Frankel's new book and just got done skim reading it and confirms that I adore her and she is actually a very intelligent and witty woman. I'm going to put her book into practice in my new outlook on life.....dear god I sound stupid. Ok so I'm still sick a little with this flu/virus thing that seems to be going around so my physical activity is so down and I'm feeling sluggish. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to go into a workout or just back to running.

OK so this whole future thing is completely starting to freak me out. I am in this weird place of wanting to grow up and growing up and being on my own and just wanting to be in second grade again where everything is simple and easy. It's a scary place for a very close to a college graduate. I guess we will all figure it out with time.

Spring Fashion Musts: coming soon!!!

skinny girl margarita night!!!

So we've all had that week when you didn't do well on the test, the guy you like is kissing his ex girlfriend, and you just want to be alone......well how i handle that is my sister, the real housewives of NYC marathon and skinny girl margaritas!!!! i adore bethenny frankel and how she is on the show and i love margaritas but they are SO bad for you!! when i heard about her Skinny Girl Margarita last year I jumped on the bandwagon!!! so after a tough week and a hard night last night this is the exact thing i need!!! tomorrow I'm going to go out and buy Frankel's new book and read up on how to be naturally thin because thats what I need in my life right now.......to only work on me!!! I really want to train for a marathon this year too.......stay tuned

marathon??!!

Have you ever been in that situation where all you want to do it run? Literally and just in my mind in general. I am just in that place in my life where its like ok enough i want to run away. Not permantly but I just want a new start a new beginning a NEW SOMETHING!!!!!! i want to start over with new people who don't think they know what I'm thinking all the time. I have no patience for anything lately and I just want to run. I've been feeling sick the last couple of days so maybe its just the inactivity but i want to run. I want to drink tequila and run......probably not together......def not together. Tomorrow the marathon training begins......i want to feel my body strong..........this is what happens when you havent been with a dude in a long time people....THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS...........

Enough has to be enough

OK so places everywhere this week have been saying that Chris Brown and Rihanna are back together......I completely understand that there are two sides to every story but I cannot understand in my mind where there would be justification in beating a woman to the point that the picture of Rihanna shows her obviously bruised and even bleeding. This is something that has come out of left field for me completely because I have admired Rihanna's privacy but her public strong image that she has put out for young girls. Her style is something to admire and Chris Brown's music alone is something to admire as well. As a person who ADORES music and really listens to every type, I have loved both of theirs for a long time. Showing that they are back together shortly after this type of abuse is horrifying to me as a fan. Being not a teenager anymore I can say this isn't something that would influence my choice to immediately leave any situation like this I would personally be in......but young girls, especially those of the African-American community need to understand that in no way is Chris Brown right in this situation. I am disappointed that Rihanna family and people close to her have not urged her to stay away a little long.......my mother would have killed whoever did that to me though. We are women and we are strong and there is no situation in which we should have to return to someone when the relationship comes to physical abuse PERIOD. I have been a part of a abuse situation to a smaller degree and let me tell you it was handled well and not easy but had to be done.

I pray for both of these entertainers and hope that something good and informative will come out of this situation being so public.

What's your favorite curse word?

I have been in love with inside the actor's studio for a long time.....i think it gives you a new perspective on how actors feel about their work and i just love james lipton he makes me laugh!!! when i saw angelina jolies and johnny depps i really fell for the TV show because it taught me a lot about their work I did know about before.......that end with the questionaire is my favorite so i decided to fill it out for myself:

school work is calling my name.............dammit

Oscars smokters

Ok so huge fashion moments on last nights oscars good and bad........lets start with the fantastic

Natalie Portman in Rodarte....whom I've never heard of......but FANTASTIC!!!!!! for someone who was not even nominated or in a movie considered to be nominated she practically stole the who she was amazing and I literally fell in love with her in that one moment.....i mean the makeup.....the hair......the color of the dress!!!! THANK GOD whoever styled her did not let her wear any crazy necklaces because there were some of those we will get to later!!!

Another favorite would have to be Kate Winslet......i mean I love her reguardless of most of what she wears but she looked like a movie star in every sense of the word......she wore YSL which she also wore to the Golden Globes. I would only have wished she would have worn something with a little more of a stand-out color and something which would have shouted "BEST ACTRESS" because that is what she was this year!!! I adore the one shoulder and i love love love what theyve done with her hair!!!

And let's get on to my worst:

Well this picture pretty much sums up all 3 of my worst dressed......first Jessica Biel who has a ROCKIN body decided to wear a bed sheet........WTF??!!! I'm not a huge fan of Ms. Biel to begin with but i mean if you have that kind of SICK body and you are as young as she is why the hell is she wearing a toga from Animal House? The hair is another problem for me....if you are going to wear something so unflattering but has that huge front detail......put your hair up and back to not take away from the detail of the dress!! poor choice, no wonder justin did not join her on the red carpet!!

Next: Beyonce.....who i usually applaud for her fashion choices decided to wear a tacky carpet. I get her mother designed it and she must have felt obligated but that dress was just wrong on so many different levels. I do like that she pulled her hair back and kept the bling to a minimum but this dress does nothing for her amazing record of style.....except the cut is very good on her.

Finally: Miley Cryus.....ok i have to start by saying i am not a miley fan in any way. I hate that she knows how famous she is and acts like shes the best thing since sliced bread. I cannon stand this little girl at all!!! but when you are young and popular.......DRESS YOUNG.....it seems that this girl is always dressing like she pulled something out of her mother's closet.....wear something bright and tight and daring....not something that looks like Glinda the good witch let you borrow her closet. I don't get the hair, I dont get the dress.......i just dont really get her!!

I loved the Oscars for once, it was crazzzzzzzzzzzy long but actually very entertaining. Hugh did a great job and the winners were all genuine and greatful. I could have done without the spotlight of Jen Aniston standing 10 feet away from Brad and Angelina......who i am getting very sick of by the way. I love Angelina Jolie i think shes brilliant and smart and fantastic, but i mean shes starting to look like shes openly gloating that shes on brad pitt's arm. Its just starting to get old man..........

My life is school, work and thats about it lately. AWESOME.....updates to come if there is anything!!!!
