Men & Me [part 6]


Recap of last week:
One day after class He [K2] asked if i wanted to go to a party with him. I was kind of shocked because I thought he didn't like me, and was a little hesitant to go to a party where I only knew one person. But I agreed [of course] and we went on with our day. When party day came I got to the house and there were a lot of people I had to meet. I was a little nervous at first but eventually calmed down.


I had a friend on call, just in case the party turned into a less than desirable situation. K2 was a little upset about that because I was supposed to be staying at his house for the night. I didn't want to impose in case he met someone, so I told him it was fine. Turns out I didn't need that ride.

I hit it off right away, within 10 min I had a group of guys surrounding me. Sure it was nerve wrecking answering 1 question per second, but at least I wasn't in a corner crying, right? I left K2 to socialize with all his friends, he didnt mind, I was considerably younger than him and he looked happy that I was having fun. The thought had never crossed my mind that he might genuinely be interested in me.

I really hit it off with a guy around my age. He was handsome but shorter than me, so that was a deal breaker for any fun. I really had my sight set on another piece of eye candy, and yes he was much taller than me.

Throughout the night I had a whole group of guys to make my drinks, hold them, watch me to the bathroom, and protect me from the "bad guys". I'd even gotten my eye candy to put his arms around me while we watched everyone dance. I was having fun.

While I'm having fun I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and its K2's Brother, he wanted to talk to me about something out by the pool. I had no idea what he could possibly want. We got out there and he started talking about how K2 had been watching me all night, and how he was upset about me not spending anytime with him.

Wait! K2 didn't like me right? I guess I took his I-don't-give-a-crap attitude too loosely. I was flattered that he liked me, so I apologized and didn't leave K2's side for the rest of the night. [internally sad for having to leave eye candy's side].

The next morning we said our goodbyes and went to his house. Yea, we had fun ;)

Funny Friday!


Whats more cheesy than deep dish pizza? Pick up lines from a guy that's just decided he wants to "make the move" on you. Yes, those lines that make you cringe in embarrassment even though you weren't the one to speak them.

After hearing a particularly bad one, ( have I seen you before? [uh, no u dont look familiar] Oh, must have been in my dreams [:/] ...) I decided to see just how much gushy, cheesy, crappy, hilarious ones are actually out there. Turns out there are tons! Here are 24
  1. I'm a raindrop and I'm falling for you.
  2. Baby, you must be a broom, cause you just swept me off my feet
  3. I must be a Snowflake, becuase I've fallen for you.
  4. I know somebody that thinks they might like you alot. And if i wasnt so shy, I would tell you who it is.
  5. Can I buy you a drink, or do you just want the money?
  6. Are you religious? [Why?] Because you're the answer to my prayers.
  7. Can I lick that film off your teeth?
  8. Can you give me directions...to your heart?
  9. Did they just take you out of the oven? [No, why?] Because you're hot!
  10. Do you have a map? [No, why?] Because I just got lost in your eyes.
  11. Don't be so picky... I wasn't!
  12. Falling for you would be a very short trip.
  13. Hershey factories make millions of kisses a day, but I'm asking for only one.
  14. I suffer from amnesia. Do I come here often?
  15. Is it hot in here or is it just you?
  16. Let's go behind that rock, and get a little boulder.
  17. Oh, I'm sorry, I thought that was a Braille name tag.
  18. Remember me? Oh, that's right, I've met you only in my dreams.
  19. Want to play conductor? You be the engineer and I'll go choo choo.
  20. What do you like for breakfast?
  21. You be the tree, and I'll wrap you like a Koala.
  22. You don't need car keys to drive me crazy.

Do You Like Facts?


DO you like to hear random, crazy, weird, and useless facts? Well I sure do. I didn't always but my roommate got me into them. She'd literally sit there and announce random facts by the second. Sometimes it just seemed like music in the background, and sometimes I would tune in and actually listen to some of the facts.

She had a fact for every aspect of life. Facts about food, the solar system, money, animals etc. Soon I had to look up these facts for myself, what I found? Amusing Facts.com

This site not only has useless facts, but quotes, "today in history", games, jokes and the list goes on. I highly recommend sites like this when you get so bored you start telling all your problems to your bunny rabbit.

What Could You Get For $5?


The Wall Street Journal Recently did an article on a site called Fiverr.com, This site allows it's users to buy and sell different task's for only five bucks!

"The "gigs," all fixed at $5, range from the silly to serious. Among them: sending a nice postcard from Paris, burning a small paper effigy of your enemy, offers for breakdancing lessons, Photoshopping monsters into your family photos, coining that nickname you never got in high school, balloon animal instruction via Skype and even the penning of Italian love songs."

I was extremely interested in the types of things that could be done so I went to check it out for myself. Turns out that people will do some VERY interesting things for only 5 dollars. Including: give you a wake-up call for a month, edit resumes, do all kinds of cool things to pictures, advertise you business/website, and much more.

If you've got five bucks to spare I suggest you go check out this site, if not only just for fun:)

Men & Me [part 5]


Recap of last week:
I casually asked if this was a group thing, he [fashion designer] said no. I also casually said that I had another date. Mean? No. I had Islanders watching me, and those are the type of men i like.
So yea, another fail on my part with men, but i think next week will be ALOT better:)


While all of this trouble with my ex, K, and supposed gay fashion designers was going on I had been talking with a buddy I met in one of my classes. His name also begins with a "K" so we'll just call him K2.

K2 and i were just friends, or at least thats all I thought. He was 6 years older than me, and we always hung out after class. He liked to remind me how much older he was from me, and how he knew all the ropes of the world. I always disagreed and told him that he wast really THAT much older than me because male's develop 2 years slower than females mentally :)

I liked him for a few reasons. 1. he was older than me. 2. he didn't really go to my college, just took one class [I have an unnatural dissatisfaction with any of the guys that go to my college. It wasn't as apparent in the first few years, but gradually developed]. and 3. He had that I-don't-give-a-crap attitude.

One day after class He asked if i wanted to go to a party with him. I was kind of shocked because I thought he didn't like me, and was a little hesitant to go to a party where I only knew one person. But I agreed [of course] and we went on with our day. When party day came I got to the house and there were a lot of people I had to meet. I was a little nervous at first but eventually calmed down.

Check in next week to see how the party went:)

Putting A Couple Holes In My Body


You know whats fun?
IM GETTING MY EARS PIERCED!!!

I know what you all are thinking, wow you haven't gotten your ear's pierced yet? I can't really tell you why I haven't, I don't have an unusual fear of getting them done or anything. I just haven't ever had the urge to get them pierced.

I was talking with my aunt today and we've decided that I should have taken care of this a very long time ago, so we're going some time this week!
yea, I'm very excited.

What peaked my interest all of a sudden you ask?
Pearl earring:) Some people may say that a diamond is a woman's best friend, but a pearl is this woman's best friend.

Nice Card Trick


You guys gotta see this pretty cool card trick that also tells a story:)

Men & Me [part 4]


So lets bring you up to speed on the ex problem: He hasn't made anymore public moments with me:) He has however broadcasted his want to get back together, and how i ruined his life to everyone on the face of the earth. I think I need a vaca, yea, a vaca would be nice... Ireland?

Anyways back to the real men. A few weeks after I found out the reasons K wasn't talking to me anymore I had a fashion show to do. My first time on the runway for a charity event, and nervous was me [yea, nervous was me]. There were a bunch of designers and our group had the only male designer. We were all sure he was gay so nobody even brought it up.

We did our thing, walked, posed, changed etc. We were all happy at the end of the night, judges voted our designer as best in show, and it was over. I went back to my room very tired, and ready for some relaxing. My phone rings at like 2am and its our designer.

Thinking he wanted to congratulate everyone again I answer. Boy was I wrong, another point I was wrong on? This designer wasn't gay at all. He wanted a date for the next evening. I was definitely shocked. I don't like my men feminine. Don't get me wrong, if your a little feminine we're good, but he was WAY too feminine.

I casually asked if this was a group thing, he said no. I also casually said that I had another date. Mean? No. I had Islanders watching me, and those are the type of men i like.
So yea, another fail on my part with men, but i think next week will be ALOT better:)

Whats Better Than Singing In The Rain?



Running in the rain:)
Let's face it,there's not much to look forward to in winter. But I have discovered one of the biggest stress relievers of all time.
I love to run, and during the winter days I end up being confined to the treadmill [ugh!]. One day i was so fed up I decided that i was going to run in the pouring down rain. It was so awesome! Yea i looked like a half drowned cat, but it was totally worth it. Its like your in a different world.
To this day every time I see a really good rain, i get my running gear. :)
Seriously guys, you need to try this before rainy season has officially ended:)
-good luck

Happiness is Attainable


Ever had to stop and think when the last time you were happy, just because? I'll be the first to admit that i can go for whole days with even feeling content. Work , people, health and whatever else distracts you can become a barrier between you and your happiness.


I dont know if you guys have read the article yet on yahoo but its a pretty good one:



"while about 50 percent of our happiness quotient is determined by what researchers call our natural “set point” for happiness, and 10 percent depends on the circumstances of our lives, a whopping 40 percent is entirely up to you—the way you react to events, cope with stress, choose to spend your time and more."


So dont worry, and be happy!

Men & Me [part 3]


So yesterday I went out for a night on the town with my roommate. We happened to run into a group of guys that we knew so we chilled with them. Now these weren't just any guys, these were The Islanders. Needless to say I was very happy, happy that I was finally having fun, happy to be surrounded by the funniest/sexiest/nicest guys around. We were sitting at a round table eating and talking and all of a sudden i feel a tap on my shoulder.

I look up, and its the last person I wanted/expected to see. My ex. Before you think I'm a horrible person for brushing him off let me explain.

In recent months my ex has made up his mind that there is no one in the world for him besides me. This was OK at first because i could just tell him HELL NO. But gradually his attempts became more psychotic, so much so that my friends keep pushing me to get a restraining order [yea its that bad] so I was perfectly comfortable with being rude to him [plus, who was i surrounded by? yea a bunch of muscles].

We went back to eating and talking and after a while i feel another tap on my shoulder. Yea, its him again. At this point I was so mad I was seeing red. What the hell is he trying to do? He'd always try and thwart my dating adventures before, but this was a whole new level. The only thing i wanted to do at that point was take him in the back of the building and make him permanently apart of the pavement, but this would require me to be alone with him.

Once again we all acted like this didn't happen, and there was only one guy in the whole group that even knew we had previously dated. We went back to talking and laughing and all of a sudden i hear the guys at the other end of the table noticing something. "what the hell is he doing?", does he know we can see him through the glass?", "I think he's 'window shopping'". me and my roommate decide to turn around and see what caught their attention.

I froze, my roommate gasped. It was yet again my ex, staring at me from the window. I dont think i was able to breathe for the next few seconds. not because i was mad, but because i was scared. He looked so different, and it gave me chills. It was clear that the guys had picked up on the object of his gaze, and they didn't even have to say anything but i knew id be fine. A couple minutes later me and my roommate booked it through the back exit and made our way back.

Needless to say my perfect night on the town was ruined, and i am now looking up restraining orders. So was I succesful with men this week? no, no i wasnt.

Instant Energy

Maybe we all know that a good diet and lifestyle are surefire ways to keep our energy levels in tip top shape. But what about the crash after the junk food binge brought on by your latest breakup? OK so your lack of energy might not be as dramatic as all that, but according to a poll taken by Stanford University Research 37% of people are so sleepy it gets in the way of daily activity.

So here are 3 ways to combat the lazies and get those feel good hormones pumping:

#1 MUSIC

I think this is one of the most obvious ways to get up to beat. Whether its Beethoven or Britney you'll wake up and be able to more readily focus on whatever your doing.

#2 LAUGH

Yea, i know it sometimes feels silly to stop whatever your doing and go to your favorites on youtube, but it actually does help give you a little boost of energy.



#3 AROMATHERAPY

Peppermint can actually be an excellent waker upper. "Researcher at West Virginia's Wheeling Jesuit University Found that sniffing peppermint immediately improves both athletes' running speed and office workers' typing speed. Its scent acts as a mood enhancer that boost you motivation and concentration."

I hope you guys found this interesting, and i highly recommend either one. We all could use a little extra umph.
