Somedays I miss high school. It was good times. I am such a different person now though. I think if I could go back, I would follow the rules quite a bit less than I did then.. knowing now, that they are kinda silly. Last night I went to eat with 3 of my wonderful friends from high school, Keera, Marla, and the now married Annie. Strange because we don't talk that often, but it was just like I remember it. We ate at The Olive Garden, and I had their red sangria, which I had never had from there, and it was yummy. I learned so much from them in high school, and I learned something from them last night too (well, mainly Keera), when you get married, apparently you have Holy Sex!
I love you guys!

Part time job
So I just got a part time 'seasonal' job at American Eagle Outfitters. Yeah. I just start this past Sunday and it wasn't that bad. My job was what most churches call "The Greeter". I stood in the entrance way and made everyone coming in feel welcomed. I also had to tell them about the awesome deal we had on sweaters and hoodies (with a smile).
I am most excited about the great discount that I am gonna get now. I can't believe that I haven't taken part yet already.
Come by and see me!!!

Im Dreaming of a Green Christmas
I made a decision, completely on my own, to do my part to have a Green christmas. I am going to (and you can hold me to this) wrap all of my gifts entirely from recycled and reused material. After making this decision I have been thinking of all the great things I can do with this.
I would like to do this without purchasing anything, but I may have to purchase some tape, I haven't thought of a way around this one yet.
Some of the materials that I will use (and you should too):
- Magazines
- Newspaper
- Cereal boxes and the like
- Various Ribbon that I have collected
- Shopping Bags (American Eagle, Victoria Secret, ect - I don't have the ability to throw these away so i have a ton)
- Various items from nature (you will just have to see)
You should know... that I will do this without sacrificing any amount of attractiveness. If you have any other grand ideas for me in this attempt to green up my Christmas, I would love to hear it. I hope you will join me, let me know if you do.

Laundry mats are never pleasant thoughts
I don't frequent the laundry mat often, I usually try to go to a friends, my aunts, home or somewhere generally safe and familiar. But tonight I did and this is my story.
First thing I see when I walk in, is someone getting a hair cut. Yes, they had set up shop and were cutting hair. I mean, I drink my coffee in the shower, but this takes multi-tasking to a whole other level.
Second was a small child, most likely possessed. I would guess him about 4 years old. Running around like a mad man (which is not unusual for a person of his age) and was wearing his jacket like a cape... Again, age appropriate. But what I found disturbing was what I got when I started to talk to him. I said, "Is that a cape?" no verbal reply, just growling, impressive werewolf-like growling. And then he took off, shooting at me with his imaginary gun. So when he got back around to where I was I asked, "Are you a superhero or a villain?"And he replied, "I am the joker" as he simultaneously pulled a pencil out of his pocket and held it up proudly, without missing a beat he said "and i kill people". I was standing there waiting for him to ask me if I wanted to see him make the pencil disappear (If you have saw The Dark Knight you understand).
I know I am a scared-y cat when it comes to scary movies, the dark, and spooky halloween costumes and many other silly things... but a 4 year old?! Really?

Kurt Halsey
Kurt Halsey Frederiksen is an American Artist, who, in my opinion, is brilliant. I love all his work... the way his characters look, they way it makes you realize things that you have felt but never really been able to put into words. I just missed an opportunity to go to Philadelphia and see one of his shows and I'm kicking myself. He makes you FEEL... and I love that. Also, I discovered this guy on my own, so I am pretty proud of that.
Here are some of my favorites, but there are so many more.
