Today's blog is just going to be some rambles about some thoughts I've been having.

Number one, working out is tiring me out. I wish I was a celebrity so I could throw some liposuction in there to make it easier. Speaking of liposuction, plastic surgery can be very helpful. I've seen horse faces turned into beauty queens. When you look disgustingly fake, that's when it's wrong. Improving your flaws will make you feel good about yourself otherwise!

Second, I really want to read another good book. I hate picking up a book that everyone recommends and then hating it. That's why I'm considering re-reading some old favourites. The Kite Runner is my first choice, but I can't find it anywhere. I think I'll read High on Arrival again. Either that or The Thorn Birds, but that book is soo long.

Finally, damn I wish I had some batteries.

That's all for tonight, I'm off to pack for my return home!! WOOO!

Resolutions, resolutions

New Years is approaching fast, people. Most of us are at least somewhat reflecting on 2010 and what we wish to change in 2011.

Many popular resolutions include losing weight, quitting smoking, watching less TV, etc. This year, I decided to reflect more on personal qualities that come from within. Sure, I want to be skinnier and quit smoking (I love TV - no dice there). But maybe some of the most important and eventually beneficial changes are simply in our mindset.

I've thought a lot about burned bridges and bad relationships lately. Honestly, nobody wants either of those, but it happens. I was reflecting on myself as a young teen who just wanted to be everyone's friend. I look at the person I am today and I see that I'm not so much the girl who is always positive anymore. That's not necessarily negative, though, considering that with age comes the knowledge that not everyone in life can be trusted. However, there is a really special thing about that sort of naive point of view of wanting to get along with everyone you meet. How can that be so bad?

What I'm getting at is, this year my resolution will be to try and be a more open and less judgmental person. I find myself forming strong opinions over nothing really. Even if a customer rubs me the wrong way I can totally curse their whole existence. Recently I've been trying to make sure that I have a good relationship with all my coworkers, which I think is a reasonable goal. I don't want to be best buddies, but it's nice coming into work knowing you're in a positive atmosphere.

Life is short. Some people just don't mix well together. These are the facts of life, plain and simple. All I can do is treat everyone I meet and interact with like they're a cool person. Everyone has good qualities, and I want to acknowledge them more!

Here's to hoping we all stick out our resolutions. I'll keep ya posted.

Your Girls Got Your Back

I just watched the last couple episodes of the last season of Sex and the City. When Carrie said she was moving to Paris and her friends and her had a moment where they shed a tear, it reminded me of when I told my friends I was going out of town to school. I know it's not the same, but nevertheless, it made me see how important friendship is in our lives.

We've all had moments where we neglect our friends for some guy. I've done that to the most extreme level with my ex-boyfriend. I will NEVER let that happen again. After it was all done with, I realized how important friends are and how stupid I was for ever forgetting that.

Men come and go. We love to see them come, hate to see them go. During the whole process, your girlfriends (or gay friends) are there for you. They know you better than you know yourself at times. Loving someone blinds you at times, I mean. Your friends are there to clear up the fog.

I've been feeling pretty lonely in the dating world lately. Sometimes all I can think about is how I desperately want someone to be there for me to share all my moments with. Honestly, after I watched the SATC girls, I realized I already have people like that in my life. My best friends know me inside out. They love me for who I am and that will never change. The same cannot be said for any man out there.

Here's to remembering the significance of friendship and its profound effects on our lives!

Back to work...

So, I'm back to work for the Christmas holidays starting next week. I work at a grocery store, by the way. Obviously it's nice not working, but I do miss some things. I still feel like it's going to be weird working again...

First of all, the customers are just fucked up. I'm not looking forward to getting bitched at while making 10 dollars an hour. I'll be reunited with all the snobs who I used to see on a regular basis. Whenever I visited my store, I felt the negativity from every customer.

Some people at work are cool and all, but I feel out of place there sometimes. It seems everyone has their little circle, and I just kinda have a friend here and there. At my old job it was totally different, so I guess that's why it feels weird. Working with tons of people has its ups and downs. I am excited to hang out with the cool work people, though...had many good times at my store for sure.

I'm on an intense yoga/gym health kick and I'm pumped to be lookin' good when I come back! I'll keep ya posted...

Much love

Where did the good men go?

Okay, so I would like to share some of my thoughts on men. I won't be getting into anything personal, but I will share my opinions as well.

Let's think about typical things women look for in a decent guy: Tall, dark and handsome can't hurt...a sense of humor, an ability to make you feel like you're the most special girl in the world, a man with a brain capable of carrying on legitimate conversations, maybe who has a car... People tell me that I have standards that are too high. But when I think about it, if what someone wants is all the things I just mentioned, anything less will feel like settling. And once you settle for whoever's there at the moment, you will feel like shit. Okay, so maybe the car thing isn't necessary, but it sure doesn't hurt.

I will admit finding a good man with all these great qualities is pretty much impossible. Where do you find these men? Let me think about some typical places women meet men...so, for example, you may think hitting a club with all your girls will be the prime time and place to meet men. Well, if you're looking for someone to take home at the moment, it's great, but the only kind of men you'll meet here is sluts. Think about it: you see a cute guy, you're drunk, he's drunk...you smile and start dancing, but the music is too loud so obviously you won't say a word to each other. You may get excited when you exchange numbers with this hot specimen. Then, most likely all you'll end up with is texts that are suggestive and disrespectful in every way. Bottom line: meet a man at a club, and he will not want a wifey. He just wants some booty.

Bars are much more optimistic, actually. The reason is that men don't just go to bars to take home some bitches. They go to socialize with friends, and so do you. Striking up a conversation is quite easy, especially with the drinks flowing. A downside is that you wouldn't want to get too hammered the first time you're meeting your potential Mr. Right. This is likely.

School or work have always been my least favourite places to meet guys. First of all, I am not into immature guys who are my own age. This is the problem with school. Hey, it depends what you're into. With work, I've found mixing business and pleasure can seem like killing two birds with one stone, but it will bite you in the ass. After things end, which they inevitably will at some point, you're stuck workin' with 'em.

You know, you can meet your perfect man anywhere. You can be going outside to get your mail and chat up the hot mail man. It could happen, right? So I'm starting to think there are no sure-fire places to meet guys. Unfortunately, when you're on the man hunt it really feels like there is no hope of finding a decent one. When you're least expecting or wanting to meet someone, they come find you. I think I need to take this advice myself at this point.

So, are there good men even out there? Will all of us great gals ever find one to call our own? You gotta leave it to fate. In the meantime, enjoy some time with your ladies!

Hello

Well, I'm new at this whole blogging thing. I guess I'm just going to write about my thoughts of the day...

Hm, so I just heard Bruce Jenner call his stepdaughter Khloe fat. He said it in a kind way, though. You know, I think the man was just trying to make sure that people won't go off talking about how big she looks in her photos. People are always chirping that girl because she's so huge and tall and has freakishly amazing-looking sisters.

On another note, I'm in need of a vacation. I'm really hoping to go on an awesome trip during my reading week in February! There's really nothing like getting wasted with your friends on the beach day and night for a week straight...

Well, that's all for today. I'll check back soon. Toodles!
