So according to my parents, I am a great story teller and this was a story worth telling. Now being that they're MY parents, I'm guessing that we have a little situational bias going on [because I AM the favorite of course] (; Well anyway, here it is.I babysat all day on Saturday and I had not been home. I was anxious to get home and relax so to achieve my full relaxation of being home alone (as Sydney was gone for the weekend) I decided that would be the perfect time for dinner and a movie with myself! First step, FAMILY VIDEO!Now those of you that know me know that I am OBSESSED , I mean OBSESSED with movies. And even more so, I'm obsessed with HORROR movies! I'm always dying to see a new one. In that, I've really enjoyed the paranormal activity movies and I had yet to see the third. And even better, Sydney would be gone. Now normally I'd wait and watch it with her, but Sydney has a need to freak me out whenever we watch movies or shows abou...

When I think of a happy ending, I think of the usual fairytale ending most girls dream of since they’re little. I dream of having a wonderful husband and family and of course, the beautiful house with the white picket fence. Yes, the good ‘ole American dream. But behind all of those extra people I dream of a life. A life filled with happiness. Happiness that stems from many aspects of life. I was born into a normal run-of-the-mill family; mom, dad, older sister, younger brother. We moved to a small town when I was still very young and we’ve been here ever since. Growing up in a small town, you develop small town dreams. It’s hard not to get caught up in the craze that surrounds you. You almost lose yourself….or maybe you didn’t know yourself. You get to college and you start to discover the dreams you’d had for yourself and you start to fight to make them a reality. In high school, I would have NEVER dated. It wasn’t my thing. In my mind, high school was not for relatio...

Valentine's Day is the most ridiculous holiday ever created. It's a day that couples feel waaaayyyy too much pressure to be perfect. A guy must have lots of money, time, and great ideas for his girl. A girl must wait around, spending hours getting ready for the unexpected. If you're a guy, how do you keep coming up with new ideas every year? If you're a girl, how do you prepare for the unexpected? The whole idea of Valentine's is absolutely perpostrous. It's like having another anniversary. Isn't one anniversary a year enough? You basically do the same thing for an anniversary as you would for Valentine's Day. The man gets her flowers, takes her out to eat, gives her something special, etc. Why must we make a man go broke twice a year? It's such an uncomfortable feeling all together. It's known as " singles awareness day ", because if you're single you truly feel it on Valentine's. There is no reason to be ashamed that you are ...

Peopel are just................well...................people. Sometimes they may surprise you. Sometimes they may make you angry. Sometimes they may make you sad. And sometimes they may even bring you joy. Their main focus isn't to try specifically to harm you or effect you with any 1 of these emotions. It is just simply to live their life......day by day. So someone you know may get up an hour earlier than they usually do. (Surprise) Then they might break your brand new ipod by accidentally knocking it down and stepping on it while rushing out the door. (Anger) And when you are supposed to meet up for lunch, they just don't show up without even calling. (Sad) Then later that night they bring you your favorite ice cream. (Joy) And with a little glimpse of happiness you re-evaluate the day. You try to see it differently, perhaps even more clearly. They got up earlier because they know that you think they're lazy. Then you look around and notice how much cleaner everything ar...
