it's wednesday ya'll! enjoy!

If someone game you a brand new yacht, what would you name it?

'wishful thinking' because it would never happen! it would be nice though.. and my birthday is right around the corner!!

Have you broken any bones? if yes how?

i haven't! knock on wood! i have had torn ligaments in my ankle (jet ski accident), a partially separated shoulder (snowboarding), a pulled IT band (thank you tennis) and various other minor injuries!

Who would win in a fight: pirates or ninjas?

pirates. they fight dirty! haha

What are you most excited about right now?

even if i say im not, im really excited about my birthday! which coincidentally is july 4th as well! its always a great mid-summer break! i really have no plans as of right now, but i know that there will be cake (or cupcakes) and fireworks!!

What was your favorite TV show as a child?

dumbo's circus. my mom told me the other day that i had to watch it daily. or else!

What message would you want to put into a fortune cookie?

"never give up hope.. just because one door doesn't open doesn't mean there isn't another hallway full of opportunities"

If you could be invited to one person's birthday party, who would you choose?

hmm.. this is a hard one!! lets go with this... katyperry.chelseahandler.danecook.johnmayer. is that one word?

Do you believe in LUCK?

i believe in luck, serendipitous moments, karma, and timing.

ugh, whatever.

lets throw this out there again. this is my blog. the thoughts, opinions, rants, ideas, and stories are all mine. if you disagree with something, thats your opinion. and im fine with it. my life is my own. im about to be 25, graduated high school and college with a few hiccups along the way. i have an amazing family, a great boyfriend, 2 awesome dogs, a townhouse that is totally me and great health... except for the sunburn from 2 weeks ago that im nursing back to health. i am where i am today because of the decisions i have made, and if you have a problem with that, you should probably be paying more attention to you life than mine. im not making you read my blogs, and from time to time i am probably going to say something controversial, or that you disagree with, and thats okay. thats the beauty of blogging and free speech. we are all given this beautiful right to say what we want, when we want, and no one has to listen, or agree with you. the end.

moving on...

how about the USA men's soccer team?! they won today against algeria in the last possible moments! landon donovan came through with a great goal- it was very exciting to watch! they move on in the world cup.. YAY USA!!

all this world cup has got me remembering the euro cup 2 summers ago.. i was living and studying in spain (where futbol is HUGE) and we were so lucky to experience all the excitement and craziness in madrid as the spanish national team won the cup. it was our last night in spain and i cant think of a better way to end the trip. it is truly something i will never forget.. a por ellos!!

my apologies.

okay people. i didn't mean to offend anyone. please continue to post your ultrasound/3D/4D Ultrasound photos. just because i think its a little weird, doesn't mean i don't want you to stop sharing this wonderful and exciting time in your life with everyone. please accept my apology, and i dont think anyones kids are ugly, or aliens, or creepy. technology today allows us to see and know things that 20 years ago we couldn't and its helping families and children out tremendously. i wish everyone a happy and safe pregnancy. post away!

Picture Posting FYI

before you read this, YES, i used pictures of both myself and my friends. friends, i did not do this so you would get mad or hate me, i did it because its more fun and personal than googling some poor person on google images. consider this your GBST debut.

today's little lesson is about on-line photo posting etiquette. you know, what you should share and what you should keep to yourself. now, im not an online editor of any sort, or the online photo police, but there are some recent posting occurrences that have made me raise my red flag and complain to my girlfriends. now, i also know that once upon a time, before Zeta scoured my facebook photo albums,  i too had some incriminating photos posted. and now that we are all "working" we have all selectively edited our photos as well. here goes.

NEVER (especially if you want to be published in some hoity toity publication.. think Paper City) be photographed with a cup in your hand. Ladies "don't booze", and if your immortalized in print with a big 'ole beer in your hand, well, a photo is worth 1,000 words. use your imagination. And while we are on the drinking topic, the only ones acceptable are wine and champagne, beers at the pool, 21 year old birthdays and appropriate Vegas Bachelorette Pics. you want to look like a responsible drunk anyways.

continued from the alcohol talk, let's speak about glassy eyes, passed out, markered up faces.. people, posting photos of your friends drunk and out of their minds- not cool. i know its fun to take them, but really, leave them in a folder on your desktop. you don't want to be the one responsible for tagging your bff in a sloppy drunk picture and causing them to not get the job or the promotion.

lets talk babies. babies are cute. WHEN THEY ARE BORN. i know that theres this awesome technology now that has 3D and 4D images as well as the old 2D ultrasounds, and that they amazing to look at if your the parents, immediate family, close friends, your personal blog.. but as your facebook photo.. dude, those 3D and 4D inside your belly, unborn child photos are CREEPY. the end. belly and pregnancy photos are adorable.. keep those coming, but lets keep a minimum on the creepy alien baby photos, k?(disclaimer: i have not been and am not pregnant, so my views on this may very well change when i decide to start a family, then, yes, i very well may become one of these creepy picture posters that i dont particularly like.) (image via google images.. i figured i'd protect the rights of my friends kids).

thats it for today. there very may be a part 2... stay tuned!

blah day.

just a few things today.

it takes me an average 10 minutes to blow dry my hair. what in the world! thats over an hour a week just standing in front of the mirror just drying my hair. ridiculous!

(while watching the bachelorette tonight...) chris harrison just called ali out big time. she's almost positive she will fall in love. errr. wrong answer. they should have picked tenley.

what is the obsession with vampires? did i miss the boat? i dont get it. nothing (ok, besides true bood) is that appealing to me. and all the knockoff shows? spare me.

and today i've been up and down. some cool things are happening in my life, and i still have friends that arent being supportive. its really hard for me to act happy when people in my life are still giving me a hard time. im always supportive to all my friends, wether or not they know it and it would be genuinely appreciated if everyone could, just for a day, be supportive of me and know that im giving 110% in every aspect of my life.
