Day 31

The votes are in.
Although it won't be every day, the blog will stay alive.

I have nothing more to say, SO here are 10 things in my head that are sort of random but you should know.

10. My other vonderful roommate, Elise, braided my hair tonight and said I looked like Pocahontas.
9. My computer is about to die.
8. Tomorrow I am going to call the City of Newark and throw a BF because I wasn't able to pay my bill tonight because their site was down.
7. I got stuck behind a train that was sitting on the tracks today for THIRTY MINUTES. People were climbing over it....it was crazy.
6. Speaking of trains... I love LiLo. I love her trainwrecks, her drama, and occasionally her movies.
5. My eyes are kind of burning right now.
4. I still need a job:( but I do have an interview tomorrow!
3. I am really, really, tired and it isn't even midnight yet. I don't understand what the deal is.
2. This will probs be my last post for a few days as I feel that I will very shortly be getting very busy.
1. You all have made my dreams come true.

Day 30

Celebrating yourself is quite hot.

My vonderful vonderful daahling friend, Ashley is turning 21 on Saturday. (This is a very big day for me as well, we have been friends for pretty much ever and her birthday is exactly two days before mine. So the day after her birthday, I always begin my two month birthday countdown :])

No one likes it when you are super cocky, but really, it is okay to celebrate yourself! (Sometimes you might be the only one doing it. Which I have learned the hard way.)
We weren't given life to be emo all the time. It's okay to let the sunlight in!

So maybe you are getting really inspired and thinking "yes! I will celebrate myself!...but my birthday is 7 months away..." Who cares!? Throw yourself an unbirthday party. Throw yourself a party. Take yourself out to lunch. Do whatever it is that will put a smile on your face for the rest of the day

P.S. Today I found out that I can eat 51 flavor blasted Goldfish for 140 calories. Good thing I bought the 2.1 lb box.




Day 29

Soooo I really don't know what to say.
I wore a really cool tye dye shirt today. And I ate some delish bagel bites. And now I am watching AVPM. What? You haven't heard of AVPM?! Let me help you.


be wowed.

So, I guess I will talk about being physically fit. This semester I will be essentially taking a workout course. According to the scale at the Doctor's office last month, I weigh 118. According to this chart on the internet I should way 112. How much do I care? Well it depends, am I trying to fit into something that is a big snug? Well yes, then I care. Other than that, it's really not a big deal.

But, with that said. I am not really physically in shape. There is a difference in being overweight and being physically fit. I just happen to have a low metabolism I guess. I'm really hoping to pump up the guns in this class and be able to run a dece mile without wanting to die.

Come find me in a month and I'll give you a ticket to the gun show.

Day 28

TODAY IS MY LAST FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
Unless you count tomorrow, because since I will have brand new classes that day too...it sort of counts.

The first day of school, aside from my birthday, is my favorite day of the year.

You get to wear new stuff and met new people and wear new stuff.

Since I spent my children's college tuition as J.Crazy, I have loooots of new clothes. And I have decided that I will never repeat the same outfit twice this semester. BUT WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TODAY?

This is hard, because I obvi want people to be seeing my new hot self in action, but...I have a gym class today.

I might have to opt for the Sporty Spice look. Plus I got really cute sneakers last spring.

Are you guys big on first impressions? I totally am. Does anyone else still plan out their first day of school outfit? Did anyone else wake up at 8:30 am when they forgot to set an alarm and they don't even have class until 11?

I can't wait for the fall to start and everything to really get going.

Okay, thing I really do need feedback on.

A couple of people told me that I should continue the blog after August. I'm not so sure. Should I just quit while I'm ahead? Or should I milk it for all it is worth?



AND: I forgot to do a Free Stuff Friday, so in one of today's later posts there will be something for free.out

Day 27

Ahhhhhhhhh!

I am stealing internet SINCE I DON'T HAVE ANY OF MY OWN. Sorry that I didn't post but for real...it was impossible. I will just keep posting a lot until I am all caught up. Which will be 5 posts between today and tomorrow....

Anyway, today's get hot topic is doing what needs to be done/ having some dang manners. Take my past three days for example. I needed a job and there was an opening for one for this weekend. I could make $13 an hour and work from 11-3. Who would pass this up? Well, I almost did. I have to ride around Main Street on a SCOOTER, wearing a too big T-shirt, in the sweltering heat, passing out flyers. It is probably the most lucrative and humbling job I have ever had. People aren't very nice, and they feel that when I approach them (very sweetly of course) they don't even need to give me a verbal "No thank you" and can just dismiss me with a wave of the hand.

Hi- news flash. Not okay.

It reminds me of Thomas' post, because a lot of the meaner individuals are more attractive. I will watch them walk close to me and mentally think "that dress looks so awesome on her" and then she'll sneer at me and when she walks away I think of lots of expletives.

The point is, if you aren't nice, you could be as hot as the sun and you still suck.
But lots of people are nice and take my flyers and talk to me and things like that.

And I made $200 in 4 days by working 16 hrs riding around on a scooter. Beat that.

Day 26

Shoot. I had to topic today. I thought "yeah, yeah that'd be great" and I forgot. So now I'm just going to ramble.

My room is a disaster, which is not hot. Basically my stuff to space ratio is 2:1. Eventually it should look okay, but for right now it looks like I am 12 again. But, there is progress.

I think I was going to talk about money. Since I'm pretty much out. I have a few job prospects lined up, and hopefully they will work out. Not having money sucks, and it isn't hot. To be perfectly honest, I was a bit reckless with my money this past month, and I partially regret it.

Work hard, play hard, but don't be stupid kids.

Sorry these posts are just so short but the inspiration is just not coming to me, plus I feel like I'm about to fall asleep. Maybe I'll be more fun tomorrow.

Day 25

Holy crap. I forgot yesterday! ahhh. This post will be for yesterday and tonight with be for today. If that makes sense. The last think I remember about yesterday was watching The Hangover. Which is a teeny bit funny.

So, I want to talk about being comfortable in your own skin. The best way for this to happen is be sleeping naked. For those of you who already practice this ancient ritual, you understand. For the rest of you, my young Jedi's...you have much to learn.
It is pretty much the most awesome thing ever. Look, God did not create man and woman in a three piece suit. They were nakey. If the only time you are naked is in the shower then you need to step it up.
A lot of you may have roommates; that puts a damper on things. Truth be told...that has never stopped me. You just wrap yourself up like a burrito in your blanket. It's 8 hours of soft, fuzzy, warmness.
Or maybe you're gonna give them the "but what if there is a fire!?" excuse.
Really?
Have you ever been in a fire?
If it happens, you wrap yourself up in the blanket and go on your merry way. Since you house and/or family might be burning down- you probs won't care what you are (or aren't) wearing.

So, tonight when you brush you teeth and put your pj's on and get into bed...stop. Let you skin win. Just try it, I promise it is fun.
