Road Trip
Lets buy a cheap car and hit the road. who cares where we go. Lets go everywhere we please, where ever the road takes us. uphill, downhill, laughing, crying, getting lost, flat tires, driving shifts, sleeping in the passengers seat. Lets get out there and find ourselves. in ways we didnt know we could.
Let’s sleep in parking lots, eat fast food, take millions of photographs and be closer...
Everything happens for a reason
I have been a firm believer in the fact that everything happens for a reason for a while now. Not in a predestination kind of way where everything in our lives is decided already in a huge scheme before we die. But rather in a butterfly effect kind of way. In what I do now will in someway affect something later, I have no idea what or how or when but it might and that for some reason comforts me.

Worry
Worry v.
Dictionary Definition: to torment with cares, anxieties, etc.; trouble; plague.
Actual definition: scared that something terrible will happen and that there will be nothing you can do. you wont know what to do. you wont know how to act or how to deal and worst of all it hasnt even happened and you dont know what it is or when it will happen. Not knowing the outcome of an action, a...
I'm growing into who I always wanted to be
These days I’ve been and done a lot of things that I never thought I’d do or be but that I always wanted to.
Over the last year I feel like I’m finally growing up. Growing into myself. I have always had a big personality, big dreams, big hopes, and I’ve always gotten myself hurt in the process. But lately I have taken the opportunities that I have spent years ignoring.
I...

I do not believe in regret
I do not believe in regrets. They are a waste of time, energy and life. We do the things we do because it is right at the time and then its done. So why waste more time thinking about how much we are sorry for having done them? My answer: Don’t.
Over the past month I have discovered something. Don’t do things that are going to hurt you and if they are hurting you already get out of...
Things I learned today.
Make decisions and don’t apologize for them
TRUST even if you don’t want to
Scaring your friends into thinking you are worse than you are is hilarious.
Everything will be OK
I hate being lonely
As much as I hate being lonely and alone, and single and every other word that I can think of to describe it I hate feeling like I’m jealous, resentful, frustrated or angry with the people in my life who are not alone. How is it fair that because I feel lonely and I don’t like being alone that I get to impart feeling shitty on them!? Its not. precisely. So to everyone who has been...
Bound and determined
I am bound and determined to stop feeling shitty. I will not allow you to make me feel like everything is my fault. I will not allow you to tell me what I have done is wrong. This is my life. mine. and I want to enjoy it. so I am putting a stop to this now. I want to feel better about all of this. I do not want to be made to feel like I should not be doing what I do because you have failed to do...
I find it wierd sometimes
I dont have the fourth year, end of life as I know as I know it feeling being at the end of 4 years at Mac. But I am suddenly beginning to feel my second term life crisis coming on. Its happened every year since I’ve been here and it consists of me suddenly feeling as though nothing I am doing is right. That I got this wrong. That I should have stuck to something longer that I dont want to...
525,600 minutes...
Tonight I saw RENT with my favorite people John, Chris and Vanessa.
It was wonderful and BOY did I need that after the last few weeks. we went shopping for 3 hours then hit Milestones (John and My date spot since the summer) and we indulged in EVERYTHING.
Several rounds of drinks, food, laughter, naming each other after the characters of Sex and the City, and nearly being auctioned off we saw...
And so it begins
it began today. MSU Presidentials. ugh.
Decisions, Decisions...
So for the very first time in my adult life I made a real decision for myself, with only myself, my life, my interests and my well being at the center of it.
I’m not going to lie, I looked for approval in a big way, I wanted someone to tell me that I was making the “right” decision regardless of what I thought. I didn’t find what I was looking for. I was upset. I wanted...
take care of yourself, don't be so hard on...
So tonight I have made a decision. A really tough one to make. But a decision.
"Nice Guys" always lose
I create this post in honor of my other half Billie I love you.
nice guys do not lose. nice guys get the girl and win. “nice guys” on the other hand do lose. they lose the good ones, the smart, funny, pretty, nice, wonderful ones. And the lose them hard.
The hardest thing about this is that you don’t have to be a bad guy to be an asshole. In fact the guys that I am referring to...

I can’t count how many times I get told to smile.
“promise me you’ll smile?”
“don’t be so hard on yourself! Smile!”
“I love you so smile”
“It doesn’t matter! Smile”
It comes at the end of so many sentences. so much gross. so many shitty days. and I’m going to do this. just hoping. just asking that life let me...

Don't call me baby...
So there is this thing I have with pet names, nicknames, short forms, rep names you name it I like being able to call you something other than your actual name.
I, myself have had several over my lifetime. I’ve been, Fi since as long as I can remember, I became Fifi in highschool, I was Fifers for a while, I’ve been No-Eh, CP, Friendzone, the short one, and a multitude of other ones...

New years eve has haunted me for years as a terrible night. Until last night I had yet to experience ANYthing remotely fun, good, or really enjoyable overall.
I spent my last day of 2009 with my best friend cooking, cleaning, loving, drinking, picture taking, music listening, grocery...
