Spring Break

I'm on SB and I'm updating because? ...I found what makes me happy.

I've been spending my break with my long time best friend, Mary Kayler.  I honestly don't know what I would do without her.  She's been pretty solid for the past 11 years and I don't doubt that she will be in my wedding.  It's crazy that we're still as close as we are after so long and after her family uprooted itself from the lovely little town of Tyro, North Carolina and relocated to Asheville!  Honestly, my break has been amazing.  We've been catching up on so much and telling each other about new developments and talking about COLLEGE.  Needless to say, we will see each other plenty.  I'm an avid Carolina fan and she is going to none other than UNC-Chapel Hill!!  We've been talking a lot about happiness and things as well.

Honest to God, I am the happiest that I have been in a very long time.  I'm not sure how else to explain it, but I'm happy.  I'm loving every second of it.  I'm talking about ridiculous amounts of smiling every single day!  I feel great every time I wake up because I know that it's not a dream.

WONDERFUL, AWESOME, EXTRAORDINARY NEWS!!

Richard Roman is going to prom with me.  As in, he is getting his butt on a plane on Thursday May 12th, 2011 and spending the whole rest of the weekend with me.  I can't believe it's happening!  I am all smiles, my loves.  ALL SMILES(:

I told you, I had a great reason for being so happy.  I love my life and I am amazed at the beauty and how full of life and absolutely perfect my relationship is.  It's a friendship that's been built and even now, being built up layer by layer and providing a strong support for the two people it involves.  It make me so happy that I want to proclaim it to the world.  Can I?  Yes.  Will it be rather embarrassing?  Oh, beyond.  Will I do it?  Probably, at some point.  

So, I'm sorry... Well, no... I'm not sorry...  I'm really happy right now and I just want to share it with everyone.  It's ridiculous and I love it.

Enjoy.

Love my life.

"Every time I see your smile 
It makes my heart beat fast
And though it's much too soon to tell
I'm hoping this will last

Cuz I just always wanna have you right here by my side
The future's near but never certain
At least stay here for just tonight

I musta done something right 
To deserve you in my life
I musta done something right 
Along the way

I just can't get you off my mind
And why would I even try? 
Cuz even when I close my eyes
I dream about you all the time

I just always wanna have you right here by my side. 
The future's near but never certain 
So please stay here for just tonight. 

I musta done something right 
To deserve you in my life
I musta done something right 
Along the way

And even if the moon fell down tonight
There'd be nothing to worry about at all 
Because you make the whole world shine
As long as you're here everything will be alright

I musta done something right 
To deserve you in my life
I musta done something right 
Along the way"

Dead serious, this is my life right now.  To the tee.

"All other pleasures are not worth its pains."

What an interesting and highly dramatic couple of days!  Let me start off by saying that I've been trying to write this blog for oh, a week now?!  It's been hard to write and every single time I've come close, I've deleted everything I wrote because it just wasn't "right."

Why has it been so dramatic?  Monday night, my Dad and I had the WEIRDEST talk.  He of course was joking with me right before I went to bed and said "Don't you remember when you said you would never date Asians?"  To which I responded, "you're stupid, Dad."  And then he gives me this God awful, probably thought off the top of his head, analogy.  "There are many, thousands of different kinds of birds, but no matter how hard the look and try with different types, they find the one in the crowd that fits them perfect."  What the HELL does that mean?  All of this followed the awkward "love" talk with my Dad.  How much weirder does it get?  My night consisted of crying, on the phone with one, Adam McKerlie.  I love him, he knows me inside and out, it's such a wonderful friendship that we have and then FaceTime'd with Richard Roman.  Of course, I was smiling by the end of the night (2am).  Well, Tuesday, I came to school freaking out and crying because I thought my dad was dying... That's what my parents get for hiding stuff from me.  Never a great idea.  I jump to conclusions guys!  Especially, when the week before my Mom was being uber sketchy about the situation.  That night, my best friend's parents got into a major fight and he and his little brother ended up staying at my house that night.  Blechhh!  Parents make a whole lot of sense sometimes... NOT.

Anyways, so far, this week has been... extremely progressive.  After several different people telling me that they could tell I was stressed out and needed some time off, I finally thought about it.  I've been so stressed out with everything that I can't even process things right!  I took the day off from life and just slept.  I feel so much better and way more refreshed now that I've done so.  Also, guys, I know this is totally off topic, but I'm going in for my interview at bebe today!  Wish me luck!  All my talk about fashion and style is about to either bite me in the butt or help me tons!

All of this and I have yet to even start into the REAL reason behind this blog... God, I don't even know where to start...

"All other pleasures are not worth its pains."

Last night, was a very interesting and good night.  To start off with, I spend EVERY single night from about 11pm-3/4am on FaceTime with Richard.  I have to say that although I feel like absolute crap every morning, it seems worth it.  I finally, came out and put some things into perspective and everything just kind of fell into place after that.  Was I ridiculously scared to?  Absolutely.  If you know me well, you know that I am awfully afraid of rejection.  Insecure?  Perhaps.  I don't know when or how it all happened, but somewhere between March 25th and now, I've grown up a lot.  I've come to realize a lot of stuff and the biggest one was coming to the realization that I can't make everyone happy.  After Adam, Rich, and my Dad all "lectured" me on making myself happy and relaxing, I guess I finally took it to heart.  I keep getting myself off topic, but it all kind of ties in a little...  You know that feeling that you get when you just KNOW?  Well, I got that feeling somewhere between March 25th and now.  Not even a month.  Ugh.  I guess, what I'm really trying to say is, that I'm extremely thankful that I found someone that gets me and who doesn't judge me at all.  Someone who think's I'm beautiful when I'm not wearing makeup and who upon first meeting me, told me that there was something different about me.  Something he couldn't quite put his finger on, but as we've gotten to know each other better, the inner fabrics of my personality are showing and he's finding out just what made me stand out.  I found a best friend.  Someone who made me happy.  It's not even all about that I "like" this person.  It's been about the fact that we seem to get each other.  Every morning when I wake up, I feel like an absolute train wreck, but I get my coffee and a wonderful "good morning" text message and instantly, my day turns around.  I have the HUGEST smile on my face when I see that name pop up on my phone.  This is totally putting EVERYTHING out there for anyone to read, but I guess I kind of needed to.  He says staying up every night is worth it.  He says that when he starts talking to me, he just can't stop.  Hopefully, this isn't TOO much.  It's a tell all, for sure.

Again...
"All other pleasures are not worth its pains."

Enjoy it guys. [:

Nice head tilt, bro.

You guys may or may not know, but I got the iPhone4 from Verizon on Friday.  I adore it.  It's made my life, I swear, five million times easier!  Anyways, I used Facetime for the first time last night.  Let me just TELL you how entertaining my conversation was.  Richard and I Facetimed for a total of 4 hours and 48 minutes.  What did we have to talk about?  Only God knows.  We gave each other virtual tours of our rooms and I introduced him to my lovely stuffed animal collection only to find that we have MATCHING teddy bears!  Totes presh! Well, they match except his is like a life sized version of me... that thing is HUGE and mine is normal sized!  Obvs, you guys don't actually want to hear about EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING that we talked about so I'll move on.  [:  Richard, hope those bags aren't too bad, don't forget the cold spoon thing!!! ;D  I mean I'll probably have Gucci and Prada totes under my eyes for the rest of the day.  Also, I hope your stitches heal up okay!  No more vigorous sneezing, or else the rest of your stitches are going to come out too! ♥

On that note, I'm going to elaborate a little bit more on my last post.  It really wasn't that great and I was going through some major writer's block.  So that guy, seriously came into work the other day and just kind of sat there while I was talking to customers and serving.  He just kind of SAT there.  So, of course I, being "little miss WAY too nice to people," talked to him.  How awk.  He left after a bit and I later received a text message from him.  Remember back in like 6th grade when we all used to use those ridiculous and absolutely awful "signatures" that basically told our mood and what's going on in our lives and who we date?  Well, his signature said "broken."  Dude, get OVER it.  Start a blog if you have problems (like I did ;D).  You and your ex are not getting back together and even if you do, it's not going to get better.  I'm sorry.  Grow up a little bit and earn your Man Card back, because as of right now, your Man Card has been REVOKED by a girl.  That's saying something.  Get over the girl, quit being awkard toward me, delete that signature, and find a hobbie!  Like, baking or IDK... running?!  It's healthy.  Dwelling over this is SO not healthy.

Well, guys, that's all for now.  Come back for more!  :)♥

I'm the monster under your bed ;)

First off, I want to apologize for not writing in a while!  I've been awfully busy with school and what not.  So, I'll start off by saying that TotalFratMove literally makes my day.  Check it out!

So, earlier last week this guy started IMing me on Facebook.  I'm pretty annoyed with him already.  This guy is 100% not even close to my type.  I mean, he's a nice guy, but just not for me.  Anyways, this guy and his gf just broke up so I understand he needs a rebound, but it's not going to be ME.  He proceeds to give me his number to text him and a day later after not texting him, he texts me.  I'm sitting here thinking "who the ef is this??!" so I asked him and his reply was absolutely ridiculous.  If you refer to the title of this blog, you'll know what his reply was...  WTF was he thinking.

Other than that, it's been a pretty decent week.  I got my cap and gown Monday and Spring break is next weekend!!  I honestly am more excited about Move in at HPU than I am about my own Graduation...  Not good.  LOL.  Btw, go check out HPUR-The Sound, yet another HPU thing...  It's an obsession, maybe.

Today in class one of my friends JUST now heard about the "government shut down" thing...  Late much?  That was just a random thought bubble from me.  Enjoy guys!

Newell Clark

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting one Newell Clark.  Obviously, the sign in the window at High Rock Outfitters came to mind as soon as I was introduced to him.  He is a candidate for the November election for the Mayor of Lexington.  My first impression?  He's full of life and energy and wants to make Lexington better.  A supporter of High Rock Outfitters, Newell seems to have everything going for him.  I've never met our current mayor, but I am willing to say that Newell will fit well into the office.  His enthusiasm for helping this area was evident in the way he spoke.  He brought up today that he arrived home about two weeks ago from Texas where he visited a Career Technical High School.  The way he spoke about it makes me wonder why we don't have one.  Students are literally graduating high school with certifications to work in pharmacies and CNA's.  Sure, we have the CNA program, but we only have two pathways to choose from: University or Tech.  These students are choosing something like a major and throughout the course of high school are learning more about this "major" and upon graduating, are going on to study these things at a college.  If they are on the pre-law path, their classroom is a courtroom, if their "major" is design, their classroom is a studio.  Sounds like college and it sounds like a great idea and would help students.  Newell's enthusiasm about everything he talks about makes him an easily likable person.  He will, without a doubt, be good for Lexington and bring a "younger" vibe to this town.  In the November election, my vote goes to Newell Clark.  Sure, I'm only 18, but what does it say about a candidate when he can captivate an audience of all ages?  Great speaker and a perfect fit to be the Mayor of Lexington.

The article in The Dispatch here shows his announcement to run for mayor.  Newell is shown here with his family on the same day at the announcement of his candidacy.  Also, visit http://www.newellclark.com/ to volunteer, see the press release, or his photo blog.

Newell Clark is a wonderful person and I look forward to casting my vote that will make him the mayor of Lexington.

We don't play.

Guys, my laptop has officially really committed suicide.  It's so sad.  It's been a good 5 years, RIP.  In other more interesting and exciting things, I was confronted yesterday about an item on my bill at the Sapona Country Club Restaurant.  My mother was extremely upset about this situation.  Apparently, there was a liquor charge to our account the night that my friend Ashley and I went there for dessert and Shirley Temples.  My mother called the manager there and demanded to know what the deal was.  Amanda told my mother that Donna, our waitress, told her that I gave her an ID for an alcoholic beverage and then the next person who talked to my mother told her that she should search through my belongings for a fake ID.  OKAY, guys, let's think about this.  If I had a fake ID, would I go across the street from my home and use it?  Not a chance.  Should some random person be telling my mother how to raise her children?  We don't pay for a membership for someone to lecture my mother on how to raise her children, we pay for it to participate in club affairs and her pay check.  Today, I walked into the club house to discuss these matters.  Whoever I talked to started explaining away.  She also told me that Donna told her that she never had to ID me because it wasn't an alcoholic beverage, but just yesterday, my mother was informed that Donna said "I ID'd her."  Hmmm, sounds like a few lies going on in this administration.  For future references, we don't care about the price, we care that you are lying to us and that you are trying to tell my mother how to raise me.  We are members there and we do not ask for your advice now or in any future cases.  Oh, did I mention this has caused them to refresh the entire system, our member number to be changed, and a full refund for that night's meal?  Hey, Sapona, refunds don't make everything better.  Ridiculous.  Just a reminder, if you think this will stop me from showing my face at the club house, please think again.  You want to mess with the Nguyen's?  We don't play.
