My favorite night of every year.
It’s New Years Eve :) Tonight has been my favorite holiday for a long, long time. There’s an overwhelming sense of promise and hope on this night, regardless of how many people actually rid their lives of junk food, or stop spending so much money, or hold true to other resolutions, for the last ten seconds of the night, everyone is excited for another year. Another 365 days to make...

Welts abound
This week has been like something out of a movie, but I’ve literally loved every single second of it.
This morning, I woke up and picked up the boyfriend and drove to a far off land for paintballing. It was my first time going and I didn’t get hit the first few matches but then I got nailed in the leg, stomach, hands, head…pretty much every body part I possess is sore and...

I'm always THAT girl...
but it’s how I was raised, no one drinks and drives if I can help it.
On New Years Eve, from 6:00 P.M. until 6:00 A.M, AAA will be offering Tipsy Tow to anyone nationwide, member or non. Just call 1-800-222-4357 and they will pick you and your car up and take you home for free. Save the number and potentially lives in the process.

Christmas!
I’m amazed at the number of personal texts I received this morning wishing me a Merry Christmas. Most people send out a mass text, but eleven people personally let me know I meant something to them and it made my morning. I’m so thankful for the people that I have in my life, and it’s truly what this season is all about. Everyone have a fantastic Christmas and holiday season in...

Chandler: So we only have two kids, we pick our favorite and that one gets to go to college.
Monica: You've thought about that? How many kids were we gonna have?
Chandler: Ah, four. A boy, twin girls, and another boy.
Monica: What else did you think about?
Chandler: Well, stuff like where we'd live, you know, like a small place outside the city where our kids could learn to ride their bikes and stuff. You know, we could have a cat that had a bell on it's collar and we could hear it every time it ran through the little kitty door. Of course, we'd have an apartment over the garage where Joey could grow old...

Christmas Eve
I’ve been super lazy with this lately but only because I’ve been too busy having the best handful of days I could ever have hoped for. My countdown went up in smoke as Benjamin came home early just to surprise me. There’s a video of my reaction somewhere that I still haven’t seen, but I’m betting thousands of fake dollars that it’s the most adorable thing in the...

It's a shame about the weather,
But I know soon we’ll be together And I can’t wait ‘til then
The only plans I had tonight have been sabotaged by presumably some sort of electrical storm. Tomorrow, I’ve got two separate dinner occasions but tonight is Friends, Food Network, and sleeping until well after lunch.

I’m messing around with fonts and as it turns out, I’m neurotic about them and it’ll take me a good hour to decide which ones I want to use where so that’ll be tonight’s activity.
Throwback
This is one of my best friends and I in eighth grade. Ignoring the embarrassment surrounding the fact that a) we’re chewing on leaves, and b) my hair looks like that, I’ve realized that my best friends are all from my middle school years. These are the kind of friends that you could go months without talking to and then see each other and nothing has changed. I bring this up because...
Me: "Guess who has a tooth?"
Jett (my little brother): "Me? Jax? Mom? Dad?"
...I couldn't be more proud that he's developed my sense of humor.

Merry Christmas, I Missed You So Much
“It’s nearly Christmas, come home Come be yourself, remember how that felt?”
Last night was a disaster, but thankfully I have someone who doesn’t think I’m pathetic or stupid or crazy and who talked me down late last night. Thank you so much for that, I’m fine in the daytime, it’s the nights that kill me.

Oh good, I'm bald.
My hair feels so short :( I hope it grows back quickly…as in tomorrow.
Last night was a rough night and I’m assuming tonight will be more of the same, I can’t wrap my brain around certain things but I think I just over think them. My biggest complaint is that the days take so long to be over… why?

Perfection, perhaps
I am about to call up every single girl I graduated with and ask them where they got their damn tights because it would seem that no store in the known universe has the kind I want in stock. I went to the mall with my best friend and I’m pretty sure we looked in every store, for tights and earrings, why is that so hard? The good news is that whilst browsing, I found the perfect outfit for...

Story of my life.
I went shopping today, which is always a miserable experience with my mom, and then I had to rush to go give blood. I realized in the car that I didn’t have my phone, so I was freaking out because I thought I lost it. I figured I left it in my mom’s car so I drove to the gym where she was supposed to be, and she wasn’t there. I hurry home to find her car and rush to check the...

There are times when I wish alcohol didn’t exist because I’m scared it will make me lose you.
I’m literally the most lame ever, I get off work, and I come home and play Playstation while everyone else goes out until the morning, love my life.
Tropical Christmas party tonight, because you know, I don’t spend enough of my time at that place. I’m just pleading...

I want a friendship like this. More specifically, I just want them to be real so I can be friends with them.

Did I say that I want to leave it all behind?
Not…a good day.
I had the most terrifying dreams last night, to the point where I’m too afraid to fall asleep tonight. After dozing off again post-Kat Von D dream, I had a dream that someone at my old school told the principal that I was selling prescription drugs or something so he got really overly-strict and everyone hated me for it. It was so bad that there were armed guards (from...

It's 2:06 AM:
I just woke up from a dream too weird to write down. I went to a submarine launch and there was a huge audience there. I accidentally fell into the water, but it was Kat Von D’s submarine and she came out and swam to me and hugged me, telling everyone that I was inspiring and that I loved the East coast and that she would be honored to tattoo me, so she did right there in the water. She just...

I’m a sucker for old country but sometimes the new isn’t bad at all. My day? Work, computer, PS3, sleep.

Eating today was a brand new experience.
I could just…do it. I didn’t have to take a retainer out or anything! It’s magical. A little strange to get used to, but my tooth troubles are over. Next week? First haircut since prom, oops. Two weeks from now? Do the math. :)

With or Without You
Up to the end of season 3 in Friends, now I’m too depressed to watch anymore… Tomorrow I get my tooth for real, not some bionic metal stud, so that’s new. I’ve been missing one for almost a year and a half now. I remember crying at the dentist when they told me I’d have to wear a fake one for a year, I thought my boyfriend was going to think I was too weird to be...

Changes
Last night, I stayed up way later than I should have (4-ish) and YouTube’d all night because that’s all I do. It resulted in a change of my morning foundation routine, so I’d say I accomplished something.
I’m playing babysitter again tonight, this winter break is ridiculous. I’m working 30+ hour weeks and babysitting at least once a week. At work today, I whipped out...

Stop the bleeding.
When I was younger, I struggled with depression and self-injury. While my personal battle is won, the fight to help people everywhere realize that there is hope rages on. To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. It exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to...

Ignorance
I’m one of the most sarcastic, joking people you’ll ever meet, but the one thing that I can’t tolerate jokes about is depression and all of the byproducts of it. There’s a video going around on Facebook of this eighth grade boy crying and holding up index cards explaining the torture he goes through every day at school, and the fact that he’s been cutting since second...

Routine
I am exhausted. Tomorrow, I will do almost the same exact thing I did today all over again…but I’m happy, and that’s all that matters. That and the fact that I get to sleep now.
Compassion
If I had to describe myself in one word, I probably wouldn’t be able to do it well. One thing I’m certain of is that I’m caring, to a fault sometimes.
Maybe it’s how I was raised, or the sum of all of my experiences, but I always find myself caring a great deal about almost everything, even for the well-being of people who have wronged me. I wouldn’t doubt my caring...

This is the latest I've been up in ages.
I was asked at work today what it would be like at the airport…
I can’t even imagine, but I said I know that I’m going to run to meet him, I wouldn’t be able to stop myself if I tried.

All Work and No Play
It’s not that I’m complaining, I’ve just forgotten what it’s like to do something other than make smoothies/flatbreads all day/night. At least we get to listen to country music during our shift, it’s a great reminder of how fun life really is. /sarcasm

Downer
I’m so sad and lonely and I’ve never missed anything, or anyone this much ever.
EDIT: I guess I should make this longer and less depressing. I don’t know if whoever is reading this has ever been in such a situation, but being away from the person you love for longer than a week is trying. Since my person went to school two hours away last year, we often went a month at a time...
