this week's happenings

this week i became addicted to these books:



&

by maggie stiefvater.

these books are so good!

AND, the text in the book matches the color of the cover.

the 3rd book,

comes out in july.

i'm so excited :)

this week, i also:

became re-addicted to tutti fruitti and black licorice jelly belly's.

yumyum.

and this week i ALSO:

got to listen to the bane teach zach and abdiel how to play chess

which was needless to say, VERY entertaining.

oh, to be surrounded by testosterone all day.

it's been a pretty good week.

craigslist

upon second job shopping,

i stumbled up a post that read

"SugarBaby Wanted!"

granted, it doesn't sound like a very professional position

but my curiosity caved and i had to click it.

and this is what it read:

"That's pretty much the story! I am looking for an energetic, sharp young lady who needs to be taken care of.

Could you use a sugar daddy? Even part time or short-term?

Get back to me with your requirements, your situation, and a photo, and let's get you (and me) happy!

And please try to place "Sugar Baby" in the title of your reply, so I can sort you from the spam!"

So there you have it, ladies.

if you're in need of a sugar daddy,

i've got your hook-up, right here.

he looks like a REAL keeper.

facebook.

i deactivated it.

i don't know how long i'll be off of it.

but right now, i don't need it.

it's created so much DRAMA.

especially more recently as it's become a total way of life.

how pathetic is it that something that happens on facebook,

actually determines how you feel?

this has got to stop.

so i'm taking a hiatus.

if you're at the point where facebook is controlling your life

stop. using. it.

thanks.

money makes the world go 'round.

it sucks how true that is.

but it's nice to start getting to a point

where i'm finally telling my money where to go

instead of my money controlling me.

afton marie fullmer,

my best friend from high school

is getting married next weekend.

so weird.

and i couldn't be happier for her.

it really is about time.

the only downside is that

i probably won't be able to go.

because

"money makes the world go 'round."

i know it sucks now.

and i could easily take out a credit card

and just add it to the loans i'm paying off

but as much of a sacrifice it will be,

i have to pay for everything in cash now.

so as much as i would love to be at her wedding,

and as beautiful as i know she will look

i've gotta keep my priorities in focus.

that being said,

i'm currently looking for a night job.

if ANYone knows of a place that's hiring, let me know!

and pleasepleaseplease advertise my photography.

if you or anyone you know needs a photographer, email me, or post a comment.

thanks :)

current loves?

the aforementioned peeps.

pure ice nail polish.

specifically gray.

but seriously. i love all of their colors.

uh. maze. ing.

cookin' chicken.

no, my chicken doesn't look this beautiful.

but it DOES taste pretty darn good.

all improv, baby.

ok, 55% improv.

still makes me a master chef, right?

in a couple week's time,

my obsessions will have a teensy bit more to do with summer

(queue the bright colored nail polish!)

and less to do with candy.

(ha, as if that's going to happen)

yay summer!

but first i have to snowboard.
then it's on to slip-n-slides.

day 30- your favorite song

doesn't seem like a very epic question to end on.

my favorite song has been, and always will be:

jesus christ - brand new

it speaks to me in ways no other song does

and it also got me through some difficult times.

as odd as that may seem.

i love it.

well, i'm done!

back to boring old blogging tomorrow.

but hey! i collected 18 followers!

you guys rock :)

can i just tell you how much i love peeps?

and easter candy in general?

it's way too good.

on a totally seperate note,

does someone want to just give me $200?

k cool. thanks.

day 29- in this past month, what have you learned

the most valuable thing i've learned this month:

to just simply be kind.

that's all there is to it.

the other day, this song came on the radio.

it was one of my favorite songs.

one of those "no matter when you hear it, it makes you happy songs."

i thought, hey, i should post a blog about this song!

then a few days passed.

i was driving home from work the other night, and the song came on again.

"hey, i should post about this on my blog!" i thought again.

and then, i kid you not, the song came on AGAIN right after.

twice in a row.

granted, it's a high school station that has many flaws and errors,

but i took it as a sign.

so here it is.

my happy song.

this song is, in short, is about how the world is right now.

we're simply waiting on it to change.

but as you're all aware, the world isn't all going to change all on its own.

if you're sitting there waiting on the world to change,

then you have absolutely no right to complain about how miserable it is.

now, if you're doing something about it.

if you're doing everything within your control to make this place better,

then you're too darn busy to even have time to complain.

it really takes no effort at all to make this world better.

just be kind.

there are people who are happy.

and there are people who are sad.

and don't mistake temporary unhappiness for sadness

because in your heart, you know you're genuinely happy.

but if you are one of the fortunate few who truly is happy,

why not share the wealth?

and instead of letting those sad people make you temporarily unhappy,

you make those sad people permanently happy.

let's not wait on the world to change.

put a smile on your face,

and make the world a better place. :)
