30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 21

Day 21 - A picture of something you wish you could forget.

This is really loaded actually. As much fun as Pride 2010 was, it had a lot of drama. And of course an ex trying to reappear is not very pleasant. This year for Pride 2011, since I am moving to Nevada a few days later, I want to keep it simple. I'm thinking just hanging out with my bestie instead and going with whatever flow. And working out the previous 2 years' kinks. lol. 

Well I kinda went off on a tangent. Going thru my pictures trying to choose one for day 21 was a tad too painful for my taste. I could have gone simple and shown a picture of an ex, but I tend to set those pictures on fire. Fire pretty!!!! Anyways, I picked this picture because my friend broke my heart and cut me of his life. So I wish I could forget everything we did together (that was a lot). This was a friend who was like a effen brother to me. I even brought him into my family. I guess it seems childish, but I'm tired of trying to move forward and just plain exhausted from being sad, angry and bewildered about it. I have gotten a lot of advice about it, and you think I would have learned my lesson the 2nd time around. Ironically Christina Aguilera's You Lost Me is playing right now on my Pandora. So I added the lyrics below. It's eerie how accurate her words are. Minus the relationship undertones of course. 

Wow, I sure rambled here. Oops.

I am done, smoking gun
We've lost it all, the love is gone
She has won. Now it's no fun
We've lost it all, the love is gone

And we had magic
And this is tragic
You couldn't keep your hands to yourself

I feel like our world's been infected
And somehow you left me neglected
We found our life's been changed
Babe, you lost me

And we tried, oh how we cried
We lost ourselves, the love has died
And oh, we tried, you can't deny
We're left as shells, we lost the fight

And we had magic

And this is tragic
You couldn't keep your hands to yourself

I feel like our world's been infected
And somehow you left me neglected
We found our life's been changed
Babe, you lost me

Now I know you're sorry and we were sweet
But you chose lust when you deceived me
You'll regret it but it's too late
How can I ever trust you again?

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 14

Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.

I'll be honest, sometimes I want to scream or throw heavy objects at the drama or stupid shit goes on...but I love my friends to death. One of the most important things in my life is laughter. There is no shortage of that with them haha. And these two are my adopted family. Love you guys! :) 

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 10

Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most messed up things with.

I don't really get messed up anymore. The whole being an adult and responsible. BAH! It sucks. But there was a time when I was a naughty, naughty girl and I enjoyed it! haha.

I love and miss you pookie!! :)

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 9

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.

This was hard. 

Really hard.

I have 3 friends, who have gotten me thru quite a few hardships. While 2 of them are still very important people in my life, the other is no longer in it (and that is his choice). I'm grateful for each of them for being there for me at a particular time I needed a good soul. 

Halloween 2009

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 8

Day 08 - A picture of someone you used to be closer to.

This is from one of my drunkest night with my friend Bracken. It was seriously a evening of insanity, that we never even made it outside my apartment door. Hilarious. Lots of dancing, jungle juice and jumping on my bed. We used to go out 4x a week. It was a bit crazy. But we used to be really tight and he was an amazing friend during a summer I was on the outs with my best friend and my ex roommate. And that I will eternally grateful.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 5

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 5 - picture of your favorite memory.

This was hard to choose! So I picked one of my favorites. One of the first times the 3 of us went to Jackhammer and got slammed on long islands. This is prolly the classiest photo from that evening.haha! I miss this!!!!!

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 2

 

For day 2, your supposed to show of picture of you and a friend who've been closest with the longest. I did a lot of debating with this. Because I have a handful of friends who I have known for years and years. We are close, but not the closest compared to some others. Than I have close friends who I haven't know for years and years. Hmmm. 

I decided on Byron. We have known each other for almost 5 years now. Which seems crazzzzy. He is prolly my closest friend. Well, I would hope so since he is my best friend. Our friendship is anything but perfect (don't claim yours are either), but I know we'll be friends for a long ass time. My family. Seriously.

For the picture I opted to combine 2 and have some fun with Seashore. The one on the left is from 2007, which I think was the first time we really hung out. The one of the right, from 2010, my 25th birthday. Gawd, my hair was really short. EEP! 

Anyway, I think I rambled wayyyy too much. haha! 

"We are best friends."

"We are?"

"Yes."

"Okay" 

I'm a sentimental kind of gal. Big with the pictures and memories. Let's pretend like you aren't! :D

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day 1

So I have seen this floating around lately and I was challenged to do it, so here it is. I'm intrigued by the 365 photo challenge as well, but I should stick to the shorter one that I hope I will complete on time. haha. I'm actually proud of myself that I've been on top of the blogging. GO ME!

Anyways here are 15 facts plus a photo of me.

This is me on my 23rd birthday. I loved being blonde, it was so much fun. It was a lot of money and upkeep. A great time!!!

1. I LOVE drinking. Not like. LOVE drinking. And I mean getting drunk, not some dainty glass of wine. I will only drink to be at least buzzed or drunk. I'm not ashamed. I have a blast when I go out. Go ahead and judge...I don't care! haha. 
2. Kids scare me. They are like little demons and I refer to them as so.
3. I have a sick obsession with all cosmetics and the rainbow. I spend hours looking a makeup and playing with it everyday. It makes me happy. I'm also a makeup snob. So what?
4. My family is awesome. I love them to death. I don't think I would be who I am without them. They are supportive, reliable and a hoot. I'm very lucky.
5. I prefer to wear wigs on a daily basis (not to work). I feel they are more me than my boring brown hair. It freaks some people out, but it's like dress up. :)
6. I'm moving to Las Vegas this summer. Most people, which includes some family and friends DO NOT believe me. But I will leave you in a cloud of dust soon. I'm serious. I'm so done with being in IL.
7. I'm 25 and still like to party. I don't want to settle down now or in the near future. Deal with it.
8. One of my favorite things to do is have girls night. Funny, but not with my own friends. The old school girls night with my mom, aunts, Em and Tina. Who'd thought I'd like hanging out with them? I guess I grew up.
9. I pick terrible friends. Friends who flake out and aren't reliable. And friends who break my heart. Hopefully I will learn better down the road. 
10. I've seen every episode of Charmed 12x over. Rose McGowan is my wifey. <3 
11. I love working in the hospitality industry, but I don't know if it'll be forever. In the last couple years, I've been really wanting to do something professional with makeup and esthetics.
12. I've been winning a lot of things in the last 6 months. I've won makeup, nail polish, tights and even a cruise!
13. It's ridiculous how much I like change. One day I want orange hair, than short hair, then purple hair, then looooong hair. It's made me realize how much I love being  woman. WE ROCK! 
14. I've done a good deal of international travel by 25. Brazil, London, Prague and Mexico (next month).
15. I have the craziest kitten in the world. He is nutso, but I am such a cat lady. Expect me to have a dozen.

Happy Thanksgiving!

So like me to write this and not actually post it on Thanksgiving. 

I starting thinking, what am I thankful for? It's been an exhausting year so far. Many highs and many lows. 

I'm incredible lucky to have such an amazing family. A brother who I'm super duper proud of and who has come very far recently. A mother who always has my back and a pillar of support in whatever endeavor I'm into at the moment. And the best aunts I could ask for.

A best friend (who has earned the title of family) and who has stuck with me for years and made me laugh at the most important moments.

Friends whom I've known since I was a kid and although I don't see them much in our busy lives I'm glad they are still in mine. 

And Peyton who is the love of my life!

What is everybody thankful for?

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope ya'll have a great holiday and enjoy the massive amounts of food.
