POST #259...

Well, here it is! I've made it to 259 posts!!!

My professor and I got into a public convo during class about blogging the other day. He basically said that he thinks blogs are ridiculous. In his opinion, people waste too much time giving their opinions when they know nothing. He thinks that there are way too many outlets for people to voice what's on their mind without having actual facts to back them up. I swallowed really hard and tried not to get offended. Id be lying if I said that I was unfazed. His opinions are none of my business, everyone is entitled to their thoughts. I boldly said that I thought he was opinionated and didnt understand what was wrong with that. I find him to be very strong in his convictions. I respect that. I even encouraged him to start a blog of his own because of this said trait of his.

Then, he mentioned that hed never even read a blog before. Well not that exactly- he said that he glanced at one before and that it turned him off for good because he found the writer to be ignorant and the comments even more obnoxious. It wasnt the time nor the place to give him the birds and the bees talk surrounding blogs. (You know, explaining that there are all different types of blogs (political ones, style ones, music ones, pet ones, my kind... ) I found myself becoming defensive because, I feel like my blog is light and nothing like what he was describing. That was until I told him about a poets blog that I read about on R's blog. My professor suddenly became intrigued. Apparently he is a fan of this poet. By classes end, he asked for the poets blog address. I scribbled it down for him and signed it with a smiley face with the word "Enjoy!" at the bottom. Then, he thanked me. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!


Is this picture not totally scrumptious??

ONE FOR YOU & TWO FOR ME...

It seems that I do things in pairs. Shall we compose a list to demonstrate? Yes, we shall. As far as Im concerned the number 1 is pretty much nonexistent to me.

1. I only eat gum in 2's. Never ever one piece.

2. Same goes for tic-tacs, except I push the envelope and go with 3 at a time. Lately tho, the family size pack spills out a good 5 or 6 when I tip it into my mouth. Yes, Im that person who puts their mouth on the box. If you do the same with my box, chances are, Ill be your new best friend, because that means you have nerve and I like that. I probably wont touch the box again though.Yep, thats right- I am a hypocrite but (ONLY) in this case.

3. When using exclamation points, I never use one. Guaranteed 2-4, at all times. Btw, I overuse them.

4. I put 2-3 splendas/poison in my decaf skinny vanilla latte'.

5. 2 cocktails straws in my drink and 2 limes- always.

6. I press the snooze button-- twice-- most mornings.

7. I never buy just one magazine at a news stand or book store.

8. If I like an article of clothing Ill buy it in two or more colors.

There are a million more examples that I can share but Im boring you so Ill stop. Its funny, in writing this post, Ive come to the realization that I have a hard time with the number 1 as a whole. If someone were to ask me what my favorite song were, Id never be able to narrow it down to one song. The same goes for movies and books. ONE is so committal. Why would anyone want to be tied down to just one thing??? We live in a world that revolves around options!!! EXPAND EXPAND EXPAND!!! Maybe I just have commitment issues and this post is my cop out, I dont know and who even cares?!

Try TURKEY HILL's PARTY CAKE ice cream. Its vile and delicious. Why?? Because it has chunks of cake, ice cream and frosting in it, its pretty much a birthday cake in a tub!!! See? Multiple flavors (plural)= EXCITEMENT sure VANILLA is delicious, but after a while dont you get bored of the same old thing (singular)= BORING.



I rest my case.

HIATUS? I THINK NOT...

Yes, I've skipped out on my blog a bit, things have been hectic and not having internet while I was away kinda made things even worse. But fret, you must not, because alas, I am here to spread love, nonsense and fodder.

I have this theory in life. If you are a hot girl and you can dance, you have it made. After numerous unofficial surveys, it seems that girls who are on fire and are pretty much all that and a bottle of XXX (Vitamin Water) all have a common denominator--They can dance like its nobodies bizz. Put on a great jam (IMMA BEE, is a great start) and they own that sh*t. These girls tend to be hated. They should not be, they should be commended on their talent and other spastic dancers should aspire to be half of that. Now stop hating ladies, and get on this. Thank me later, okay?

Right now I should be writing a paper about public spaces for class tomorrow. Im not, Im here. Blogging, Im irresponsible and Ill be bummed about it tomorrow when Im scrambling to make my dead line. I will turn in a mediocre paper and sulk about it.

R and I had some great convo over the holiday and Im so happy to hear that R has started R's very own blog. Congrats, and welcome to the blogosphere!!! I remember when I first started out, I was super nervous about my posts. Id get really insecure about my writing so Id make fun of myself while inside I wished that anyone with a pulse would read it and maybe enjoy it. There is nothing more rewarding in the world than hearing that someone enjoys any kind of work of mine. Its absolutely indescribable, the feeling. I love my readers. No, really, l appreciate them and value their presence over here.



Today E and I bumped into Katy Perry and Russell Brand. Hot couple. E wasnt starstruck, I was and.. Im never starstruck. Again, I digress.

Love you tons.

PASS IT OVER...

I currently cannot breathe out of my nose. My sense of smell is gone and I'm deeply concerned that it won't be back for a while. This is alarming because I have a very keen sense of smell. Its one of my "things." I am that person who relates smells to past times. Certain smells remind me of certain people. Right now I feel incomplete.

It feels nice to finally feel relaxed after the last couple of weeks. I feel blessed to have some vacation time. I am blessed. We all are.
My sister went thru a tough time after having surgery and is thankfully feeling much better. I was never so shaken up before in my life. Its amazing how the mind just goes into auto pilot when crisis strikes. Suddenly nothing matters aside from family and wellness. It was as if we were all part of a different hemisphere than the rest of the world was a part of. My family is my life. When one of us is in pain, we all are. I'm so glad that she's feeling better. Crying alone feels good sometimes. Crying with your sister is a feeling that is indescribable. No I didn't cry with my ailing sister thankfully I have a bunch of them... Since I'm letting it all hang out- tight long hugs are a must. Is it me or do people not hug as much as they should???
Why is that? I suggest hugging a loved one or someone you care about- I dare you to tell me that it isn't the best feeling in the world.
If you feel differently, lemme know.

Btw, I have this thing I do when I start to read a magazine- I always look at the last page first, then I start reading it from the beginning. How weird am I? I also do it with a book I'm reading.

Did I mention that I'm probably the luckiest person alive right now? I've been working in my idols office. When I say idol, I don't say it lightly. Yes- granted, I tend to be overly dramatic and sometimes I my choice of words are inflated in context (that doesn't make sense, I know, my Professor would lightly scribble "syntax error" on this if it were an essay I turned in- but its not so bite me), but no joke- JD is the bomb in the design world. To be surrounded by talented people, watching and learning the process is beyond exciting!!

I am a shy person. Bet that ones a surprise, right? Its true! If I don't know someone I am very shy and quiet. Once I get to know them, its a different story.
