To My Love...


            You once said, “You’re going to fall in love with me.” Well, that implies that I haven’t yet. Cause trust me, I already have. I love how you’re indecisive, yet so ambitious. I love how you’re full of yourself, but it’s so sexy. I love your fluffy hair, and how sometimes you can’t match your tie to your shirt to save your life. I love how, even though you know how to push my buttons, you’ll always be there for me. I love how you make me feel. I love your laugh, and your silly faces, and that anxious smile that you get. But most of all, I love how you’re my best friend, and my other half.

Pet Peeve- Word Twisters


            I have many pet peeves in life, but one of the ones that truly pisses me off is when people twist my words. See, I work in retail, and customer service is a huge part of that. Today a customer wanted to try on an item that was on a mannequin, that I knew wasn’t their size. I nicely tried to explain to them that each brand cuts differently, so they might want to try the next size up before trying the size that was on the mannequin. Honestly, I put it as nicely as I possibly could that they were not going to fit into the item that was on the mannequin. However, said customer then proceeded to approach my manager and tell him that I had called them fat. I’m sorry, but when in hell did I call you fat?! NEVER! I’m all about positive self image and there’s no way I would every call anyone fat, ever. What truly angered me about this situation was that I did not insult, downgrade, or diminish this customer in any way, shape, or form. Yet they still feel like it’s okay to tell my manager that I’m doing so. I’m sorry, but when did it become okay to lie and twist words just for your own benefit. Umm, it didn’t!

5 Signs That I Am So Over College Break


1. I shower multiple times per day. Under usual circumstances, I’m not a huge, huge fan of showering, and I’ll shower once every day or two. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve literally been showering two or three times per day just to pass the time.
2. I sleep past noon. Like all college kids, I love my sleep. However, my natural clock generally wakes me up no later than 11:30 am, and I’ve caught myself sleeping past noon several times.
3. I look forward to going to work. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job. But when I’m anxiously waiting being able to leave for work, you know I need a life.
4. I eat way too much. As with most people, I love food. But I’m also a boredom eater, and I’ve begun eating more than three meals per day (even when I wake up after noon).
5. I’m counting down the days until I can go back.

This Quote Explains So Much


“…intimacy grows with comfort and that comfort grows with time.”
            Oh my god, this is the most accurate thing I have read in a while. Accurate in the way that the moment I read it, something clicked. It’s like that little something that’s been missing just fell into place. I’m comfortable with my body, and I’m comfortable with my sexuality; but sometimes things just get awkward, or I get nervous, or something like that.
            It’s obvious to me that I’m most sexually open with the person I’m most comfortable with. But even he still doesn’t quite know why I’m not 100% open. This statement seems to perfectly explain why that is. I’ve only known him for about a year and a half. To be completely open with someone in that short amount of time would be a miracle. But as time went on, I’ve become more comfortable, and therefore, more open.
            As time continues to go on, I know I’ll become more comfortable; and I am positive our intimacy will grow. Props to this statement for literally explaining my thoughts.

Pet Peeve- Moviegoers


            Pet peeve: people who use their phones during the movies. I have literally seen people texting, tweeting, browsing, and even talking on their phones while the movie is going on! It astounds me that people can be so attached to their phones that they can’t set them aside for two hours. And if you absolutely must use your phone, can’t you leave the theater; or at the very least, turn your sound off! Enough with the binging, and flashing, and disruption. Have some respect people.

Strange Sleeping Habits


            Lord help me, I’m a strange sleeper. So I got an electric blanket for Christmas- a small victory in the struggle that my room is the coldest room in the house. Naturally, being cold blooded, I wear two pairs of sweat pants, UGGs, and a hoodie around the house.
            So I fell asleep last night in leggings, fuzzy socks, and a hoodie, under my electric blanket and a comforter. I remember struggling with my blanket during the night- it kept riding up and my feet were cold. Then at one point it was completely off, and I was only under my comforter. I remember unplugging the blanket, and wiggling it back on top of me. Then I wake up a few hours later and I no longer have a hoodie on, just a sports bra. Like what even happened last night?
