Book Worm

Day 5- 5 of your favorite books

My favorite book in the entire world is 'A Wizard's dozen' by a collaboration of authors. I love the fact that it's a book of awesome short stories. It has everything magical in it, from fairies to wizards, and dragons to sea nymphs. This book was my fantasy world.



Another amazing book that had me trapped in it for years is 'Others See Us' by William Sleator. It may look really cheesy from the front, but I swear it's a GREAT BOOK!



Super book number three belongs to 'House of Stairs'. Another book by William Sleator, but great as well!



Teriffic book number four is saved for the entire Harry Potter collection! These books are amazing!



And Last, but not least, 'Secret of Spring' by Piers Anthony. Awesome book! I loved every page!



Fuzzy?

Day 4- 4 pictures that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside

Pictures of babies make me very happy, but at the same time very sad. I love to see their beautiful little faces, but at the same time I want it to be mine. I want to never give it back to it's mother. :(

The amazing graphite sketches that are done freehand by myself and others make me feel all fuzzy... :)

More pictures that make me all warm and fuzzy are some like these!



Animals!

Day 3- 3 of your favorite animals


My most favoritest animal in the whole world is the blue heron. I love how elegant and graceful it is.



My second favorite animal is the giraffe. I think it is one of the most beautiful animals in the entire world.



And last but not least, the magnificent sea turtle. It's majestic and lovely and I want to see one some day.



Places, Places!

Day 2- 2 places you want to visit before you die


There are so many places in the world to go! It's extremly difficult to pick just two, so I'll just tell you all of the places that I want to go sometime in my life.

    First place that I'm dying to visit would have to be Paris, France. I fell in love with the language and ever since I took French in high school, I've wanted to go. 

                                                   

    Next place I would love to go to is DisneyWorld! :) Everyone who knows me and my family know that we all love EVERYTHING DISNEY!!! Going to the biggest happiest place on earth would be amazing! 

                     

    Other places that I might enjoy going to, include: The Grand Canyon, the Louvre, the Smithsonian, the Easter Island Heads, England to see Stonehenge awesomeness, Dublin, Ireland to see the Guiness Factory, Hawaii, Scotland, Taj Mahal, Australia, Machu Picchu, Niagara Falls, Venice, and I would like to visit Yosemite again.

Tails!

Day 1- 1 tail of any animal on your fanny forever, what would it be?

      If I were to have a tail, I think that I would want a giraffes.

                                                                                         

I like giraffes and I think that their tails are prettier than some animals. I believe that it wouldn't get in the way too much and it's a pretty color. If I couldn't have a giraffe tail, I would probably have to go with a peacock. I like a lot of color and I think that it would be amazing to show off.

Losing at Losing?

First, let me tell you a story about two young women who work in a bakery... :)

           One day, in about mid august, two friends (who work in the same bakery) decided to make a deal. This deal was not like any other deal they had ever made before. It was almost like a pact. A pact to do something with our lives. A pact to lose weight.
           The deal was that the one who lost the least amount of weight, before a certain time, had to buy the other one a trip to the movies.
           I don't know how to lose a lot of weight other than through exercise and dieting and I seem to have stopped losing weight all together.
           I lost a few pounds in the first week, followed by a few more in the second week. It's the beginning of week three and I'm not even close to losing the amount she's already lost. I've lost about six or seven pounds total and she has almost three or four less than me. I'm getting extremely frustrated because I'm practically eating nothing and working out constantly. I've done more cardio so far this month than I think I have in my entire life.
          I am not going to resort to diet pills or anything like that... but, man, I sure have thought about it. 
          I'm getting tired of being obese. At least, that's what my Wii fit tells me (in a happy, cheerful tone(bitch)).
          Any suggestions on how I can shed weight? I'll definately share with my friend. Even though I want to win, I'm not going to be a jerk about it. :)

ONE!

        My confession is that I am jealous of EVERYTHING and EVERYONE! :)  I understand that people's lives are all differrent in one way or another but it seems like everyone else gets exactly what I want, when I want it. For example:  People who get pregnant and don't want them, have them, and ruin their babies lives by doing drugs while pregnant or other stupid shit like that, because they don't care. Or just not keeping the baby. People who get personal changes (peircings, tattoos, etc.), that I want eventually want but haven't got yet because of money issues at the time. People who go to college. People who own their own business. People who do so much more with their lives than I ever will.

       When I start living my life, I will always be last at everything. I know it's not a race but I feel like I'm already old news, not cared about, not even second best. I feel like my life is just wasted. I feel like I'm the only one who's waiting for my life to shit itself out of the ass hole that is the world.
       All I do everyday is get up, go to work, come home, go to sleep. I wish that I could be brave, strong, and intelligent. I wish that I could find what everyone else has found in themselves. I always try to put a smile on my face to mask the fact that I'm always sad. I definately need anti-depressants because I hate my life.
                                            HOW'S THAT FOR A CONFESSION!

P.S. None of my hate for life comes from or is produced by my man. He is and will always be my reason for being. I love him with all of my heart even if I cry about myself. I'm a sad-sack! It's not your fault!

Two Smileys!

1. :)   I love to smile.

2. :\   I'm always confused.

Three Turn Ons

1. You MUST be intelligent. You may think you know everything, but when you actually do, it's pretty amazing.

2. Hygene. If you clean yourself everyday I enjoy that. I love clean and I's loves myself a clean man. :)

3. Don't make fun of my food. I make some weird shit, but I know it's always good! Don't push it away because it looks strange. YOU WILL EAT IT, AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!  I don't care if you don't like some things. If you pretend to like my food while you're eating it, that's perfect. :)

Four Turn Offs

1. Well, for starters, if you think that you're amazing and everyone in the world wants you, I don't. :)  Ego is my number ONE turn off. Don't pretend that everyone is less than you because that just makes me like you less and make you look like a dumb asshole.

2. Guys who are way too into the way you look. Manscaping is great but taking too long admiring your reflection just means you are vain and insecure.

3. Big car stereos! I mean, come on! When you can turn on the bass and get an erection.... why do I need to be there? LOL! But seriously, talking is good and if I can't hear you over your shitty music, then what's the point?

4. Thinking you know everything about me when you clearly don't. I'm my own person, I like what I like. I may be a little strange at picking what I do like, but that's me. If you automatically think that I'm not going to like something, then you're probably wrong. I like anything, given the mood, and if you don't try then I don't see why I should.

Five People Who Are Amazing!

1. First, my best friend and soul mate, Justin. You are my love, my life, my everything. Without you I'd be so lost in the world. You make me smile everyday and you make me laugh constantly. You are the best person I've ever known and I love that you are always there when I need a shoulder. I love your hugs and I love how we can cuddle for hours and not care about getting up. :)

2. My mother. Mom, you are my role model. Growing up you made life look so easy. You always knew how to fix everything and make me feel better. I think the funniest memory that I have of you helping me was when I had my broken arm and my cast was making my entire arm itch. You put so much baking powder in it that it hurt to relax my arm. We couldn't get it all out so we had to go over to the neighbors house and use his vaccuum to get it out. I know that whenever I need help you're always going to be there.

3. My sister, Tayia. I remember all the fun we had when we were little. Do you remember the Annie "play" that we did for mom? The stupid skit behind the curtains, the silly outfits, the funny singing, Sammy's pretty pink dress, all of the Christmas skits, "school". We always had so much fun!

4. My sister, Samantha. I think we were pretty close. I always think of how many things we did. We went down to the park every day to just be kids. I still think that my favorite memory of us was when we used to play tag around the red wood tree. Or that one time that we decided that we should set up traps for people. :) So many funny memories came from being your sister.

5. My best friend, Amanda. You and I had so much fun trying to run away, having a mud fight, going to camp, going to yosemite. Just being friends with you made my life great! I'm so happy that I can call you my best friend.

Six Regrets

1. I wish that I had never met my ex. Although I do believe that only through leaving him and making some mistakes I met my soul mate. It still disgusts me that I once loved someone like that.

2. I wish that I were more social in high school. I never really tried to talk to people because I didn't want to feel stupid when I stuttered and tripped over my words.

3. I wish that I had tried to go to college.

4. I wish that I didn't "buy" those damn pots and pans! SO NOT WORTH 3000 DOLLARS!

5. I wish that I stayed fit and tried to keep my weight off.

6. I wish that I had more fun as a teenager. I wish that I had gone to parties and went to football games and actually had fun.

Seven on My Mind

1. Music. I'm always thinking of songs and singing or humming them. I love music and I can't stop thinking of it. :)

2. My man. I always think of him no matter if we're in the same room or not. He's always on my mind.

3. Sex. :) Everyone knows I'm a big perve. HAHAHAHA!!! No, really, I'm always thinking of naughty things.

4. Losing weight. I want to lose some inches and I'm always thinking of new work-outs or diet plans that might work for me.

5. Projects. Anyone who knows me can tell you how many projects I'm in the middle of. I always start new ones before I finish the others. It's a little annoying.... but I just can't help myself.

6. My bills and money. I always panic when I start thinking about my bills and how much money I wont have in my pocket. I usually over exaggerate on the bill ammounts and scare myself. I HATE BILLS!!!!

7. Monte. I constantly think of the dog that once was mine. My poor baby. I'm still heart broken when I think of him. I couldn't keep him with me and I had to bring him to a shelter. I have no idea if he went to a good home or not. Every time I think of him, I get really sad because I loved him so much and I have no idea if he's still alive or if he's out playing hide and seek with his new owner. I'm so sorry buddy. I miss you.

Eight Ways for Me

1. You have to be truthful. If you lie to me I will not forget, ever! I will keep it at the back of my mind for the longest time but I will always let you know that I do remember.

2. Little things. Remembering my birthday, saying good morning (even if you roll back over and go back to sleep), getting me a gift, or even buying me lunch makes me happy.

3. Flowers. I love flowers. I don't care how they come, potted or not, I will still love them.

4. Take me for a ride. Yeah, I know that it sounds strange, but I love riding shotgun just cruisin. I love to just sit, sing, and feel the wind out the window.

5. Surprise me! If you want to get me a gift or take me somewhere, don't tell me! Let it be a secret and I'll be even more excited when the time comes.

6. Don't try to rule me. I'm my own person. I think with my own brain and I make my own decisions. If I want to do something, like cut my hair, I don't want your opinion unless it's a positive one.

7. Make me laugh. Tell me a funny joke. Show me something you know I'd laugh at. Make funny faces, noises, gestures, anything to make me laugh.

8. Tell me how you feel. If I know how much you love me, it helps. :)

Nine of me!

1. I have a great life. I have a wonderful man, who I love with all of my heart and then some, to come home to everyday. I have a steady job that makes me happy and I get to do what I love everyday. I

2. I'm a day dreamer. I often stare blankly while I think of scenarios that might happen one day. I dream of everything. From pizza to my (one day) wedding. Everything is possible in my dreams and no one can take them away.

3. I love art. I love everything artistic. I love getting charcoal on my fingers and I love capturing things on paper.

4. I enjoy water... not just drinking it either. I love to swim and I always feel relaxed when I'm just floating along.

5. Disneyland is my home away from home. I believe in magic of every kind because I grew up loving Disney. There's nothing like watching a persons face light up when they see the firework show for the first time. I know almost everything there is to know about the park and I would love to live there if I could.

6. I wear my emotions on my sleeve. If I am mad at a person, EVERYONE will know. I cry all the time, I don't even have to be upset. If my pants get a little tight, there's reason to sob uncontrollably... right? :)

7. I can't see other people hurt. Whether or not I'm friends with you, if you are in pain I'll try to make you feel better. If you look a little down, I will make a joke or try to make you smile... except if I'm mad at you, in which case, I hope you feel like crap.

8. I hate spiders! Every single kind of spider is nasty!  I don't care if they are outside my house, but once you come inside it's fair game! Inside the rule is, the only good spider is a dead one.

9. I want to have children. I don't care if they're biological or adopted. I want to have fifty KAJILLION babies!!! I love every smell that comes from a baby. And, yes, I know what smells can come from them. I love it when I hear babies cry. It makes me laugh when I see a frustrated mom trying to shush her child, and  the baby keeps screaming louder. :D  I am extremely jealous of mothers because I wish to be one so badly. I hate having to wait for my life to "fall into place". I'm ready when I say I'm ready!

Ten Things I Need to Say

1. To my best friend and my soul mate. Justin, you ARE the best thing that has EVER happened to me. I love every little thing about you. You are the reason I wake up in the morning and I could not stand being without you. You know me like a book, even if you don't think it's true. You are the best!

2. To my older sister, Tayia, even when we were young we never really did get along well. You are too headstrong and I'm too aloof. It always seemed like you knew what you were doing and I admired that (and still do). We might not be as close as we both would like, but you will always be my friend no matter what.

3. To my youngest sister, Samantha, you're growing up too fast, damn it! I'm so proud of you for being so smart and actually going to college. I feel like your life is making mine look like crap, but I still think you are amazing. You know how to make everyone around you happy. I miss playing barbies in the kiddie pool and sharing a room with you. Even if I said I hated it, I knew that you were always there to talk to.

4. To my mother, I am your biggest fan. You gave me all of the things I needed and I don't think I ever really thanked you for that. Thank you, you have no idea how much I love you. You are the best person I know and you don't take any crap. You put up with my bad attitude and mood swings, you fixed my wounds, and you taught me not to sell myself short.

5. To my father, no matter how many things you might say, you are still my daddy. You are still a hero in my eyes no matter how many tears may blur that. I love you!

6. To my cousin, Micah, don't hurt yourself for someone else. I know that I'm younger than you, but not by that much! Live your life the way YOU want to, just know that the "Leech girls" stick together... no matter what, we're blood. I wish that we could all get together and have a sleep over again. Soda shots, midnight cheerleading, playing in the playhouse, Thanksgiving, board games, hot tub dares in the snow, BBQs, we all laughed so much back then.

7. To my friend, Amanda, I miss you so much! I miss talking to you on the phone until I get yelled at for long distance charges. I miss your face, camp, the Yosemite trip, running "away" from home, everything! I am so sorry for not being there for anything. You have no idea how long I cried when I saw the pictures from your wedding.

8. To my friend, Rachel, dream big, shoot far, you've come a long way. :D Think about it really HARD. haha

9. To Lady Gaga, Po-po-po-poke'r damn face already!

10. To my high school math teacher, obviously... I haven't committed suicide... maybe you should. Why in the hell did you tell my parents that I was suicidal when I wasn't. Just because I thought your class was extremely boring doesn't mean I was going to kill myself... well I guess hearing you talk made me want to... so I guess you're right. You're dumb.
