| My thoughts...yupp...MINE.This week was a rough one. I made some hard realizations about relationships, friendships and myself. I have some new priorities and a new outlook that should prove to be most interesting. For the first time in awhile, i'm convinced that there is a plan and that I am part of it.
I am a strong woman...not a girl...a woman.
I am realizing that not all friendships are worth it and that's ok.
I am chanelling my time and emotions that are/wasted on people who don't care enough about me to people who do
I have never been prouder to be a Kappa Delta.
Those girls are strong and amazing and inspire me to find the best version of myself everyday.
The men of Phi Gamma Delta make my life a little brighter and happier whenever I am around them.
Spring Break is in 15 days and it can't come soon enough. The group that's going=phenomenal.
I love LOVE egg sandwiches lately.
I need a hair cut but am too broke to get around to it.
I wish i could pull off blue eyeshaddow.
I am part of a huge, HUGE Greek family now that includes being part of two sets of triplets.
I finally have a big bro and my big bro night was A-MAZING.
I love pictures and buy new picture frames whenever possible.
I get to go and get new clothes for Spring Break with the mommy next weekend...can't wait!
I am confident...the majority of the time.
I get confused easily.
I want to learn how to kayak.
I would rather be in a comfy hoodie than all dressed up any day of the week.
I love being competitive...but other pepole who are overly-competitive piss me off.
I wish I could be part of a singing group like the Supremes.
I hate..no I loate money. I like to have it but spending it makes me want to cry.
I love to dance around in my underwear, but only when i'm alone...obviously.
I have so many dreams that I am afraid won't be realized.
These are my thoughts....they're MINE. If you don't like them? Too damn bad. Have a beautiful day.

| Top 25 in 2006...So I tried to remember back to last January and remember who I met or what I did...but to be honest it all kind of runs together. Everything before summer to me is just kind of a blur. A relatively happy blur. Summer was kind of the same. I rushed through it so that I could be back @ BSU where I really felt like I belonged. Fall semester blew by so fast that I feel like I hardly blinked. So many new friends..so many new memories.
At the end of each year I compile my favorite memories....here goes. They are just in a random order...not because of importance, just because they are just the order that I remeber them.
Top 26 of 2006
1. J102 was hell on earth...but I couldn't have gotten through it without my dear sister Alexis Crouch. 116 pages...it would stress out anyone. We bitched and moaned at eachother and were always there for eachother when either of us needed to have a nervous breakdown. At the end of semester we both passed..but I know I couldn't have done it without her.
2. Gretchen Wilson concert!! I spent an entire night with one of my best friends Mike listening to crazy amazing music and just laughing until I couldn't breathe. Damn it was great
3. Finding my amazing 2006-2007 roomates and the house that I would be moving into. So many good times have been had in that house...and if it wasn't for TMoe introducing me to Mandy and Aimee...it never would have happened.
4. Spring Break 2006 with Mandy Jo. I'm gonna be honest...I HATED NYC...but I loved spending so much time with my Mandy Jo. I could just go on and on and on and on...but she knows all the crazyness that insued and if you want to know...just ask.
5. Getting to know my best friend Aimee Voelker could quite possibly be one of my favorite things from 2006. She is like my other half and the person with whom i can share it all with. I love being able to walk into our house and know that she is there to talk to if it's been one of THOSE days or she is there if I want to just laugh and dance around like a crazy fool. Two words Aimee. Krispy Kreme! :) PLUS...in the process of getting to know Aimee I have gotten to know her awesome boyfriend and future hubby...Kurtle you are fantastic and I have no idea where I would be without you in my life. Thanks for always being there for me to talk, vent to or just play some hardcore guitar hero with :)
6.. Ellen frickin' Meyer. Late night talks about anything and everything. Girl talks. Running down the hall as fast as we can so that we can get to Jen Graybrooks room for Grey's Anatomy....I couldn't have survived that semester without this girl down the hall.
7. Beer Olympics with the Rugby team. It was on my birthday and it created all kinds of great memories!!! I got to see Ellen do all kinds of crazy things.. (hehe i love you girlie!). I met Zima and a bunch of other ruggers...watched Stuckey get arrested....it was just overall amazing. I love ruggers :)
8. Laying out on the green right before the end of school...it's warm, everyone is in shorts and tank tops....it's one of those lazy days where all you want to do is just lay around and not do a damn thing. I would lay out on blankets and people just kept stopping by to chat or throw a frisbee around...random fun.
9. Greek Week. It gave me alot of stress but the end result was well worth the efforts. I got to know some amazing people and got to see the Greek community come together, if only for a few days.
10. Moving. Mike. To. Indy. Geez...it took an entire DAY. We left at 7am and didn't get back until after midnight...U-haul van...license plate game...artwork from when he was in elementary school..."It's cause your ugly!"...being flattened against a wall by his couch....laying outside Butler's APhi house on a couch waiting on some of his friends....late night Steak N' Shake because we could. Stressful and took FOREVER...but it was so much fun.
11. I got hired on @ Longhorn Steakhouse in Avon. One of the best decisions i've made in awhile. I make killer cash. I don't work during the week. I work on random weekends...and it pays the bills. Over the summer I worked like a crazy fool and only got one weekend off. The people there are amazing...late nights @ Keiths...bowling until dawn at the 24/7 bowling alley....late night movies....so much summer fun.
12. Coming to BSU on my one weekend off to see Mike graduate and help those Fijis paint their amazing new house. I finally got to meet Mike's parents and I now know where he gets his crazy sense of humor. Fiji House Painting...WHEW! Painting those rooms was just ridiculous! That house looks so amazing and compared to what it looked like before? Outstanding. I left with paint all over because of a certain Fiji boy...but he ended up with paint on him too! Haha
13. Renegade softball. My summer softball team with the Longhorn Steakhouse crew. Late night double headers..a concussion (yup i'm THAT talented)...and only winning ONE game. Priceless.
14. The first party in our new house. It was more or less a OX/K? party and it was just crazy fun. Those boys came in costume (because they could)...we had a marching band member(yup that would be the DAG...good lord I love that boy!!!) , a soccer referee, a boy in girls pants (oooooo tyler..) and all kinds of others! Kings, dancing, obnoxious drunks...one of the best yet :)
15. The first couple of parties of the year are always the most memorable..the one @ my house, one @ Kevin Hannons which is where I met the Murph (quite the crazy kid and one heck of a good friend...i miss you in my life), random parties with my OX boys, parties @ Erdely's with the boys....the first/last parties always stick out in my mind the most :)
16. HURRICANE CINCINNATI! Seja, Dridge, Dahlgren, Eric and myself went to a Cubs game and it was just the most random and hilarious day of fun. Cubs game, crazy raining, Miami partying, lagoon creatures, Muncie drinking rules...fantastic.
17. Bust/Homecoming/Bed races...they all kind of run together but they were so much fun!!! Bust this year was with the Phi Delts, Homecoming was with SAE and the bed races consisted of my team (me on the bed) completly knocking down a girl in the middle of the road and literally running over her. True story.
18. Getting to know Betsy Mills better. I'm still getting to know you better and better each day....we'll get there! I heart you Bmills!!
19. Recruitment! It was stressful...it drove me crazy...but it was so unbelievably worth it! 21 new members of Kappa Delta. 21 members who uphold all the values that the rest of us hold so dear....and one of them is my little sis!! I couldn't never be more proud of calling her a sister and my little sis...without her this past semester just wouldn't be the same. I can be myself...i can cry, laugh, scream, giggle, act a fool...and she just smiles and does it all right back to me. This girl is amazing.
20. Pumpking Carving/80's night with those Fijis. 20+ people carving pumpkins...some were just simple and some were full blown John Belushi images! Everyone laughing at everyone else...eating pumpking seeds that Sorber did for all of us...just a damn good time! 80's night was hilarious. It was a non-alcoholic event where myself and Jenny made hundreds of NA jello shots....flippy cup with hawaiian punch...ROOT beer pong.... It was the perfect excuse to get crazy dressed up with the loud colors, huge hair and hardcore makeup...dancing with my sisters, those Fijis and the rest of the Greek community...absolutely hilarious and it shows that you really CAN have fun without alcohol!
21. All those random nights with those Fiji boys. Honestly. I go over there with the intention of staying for a few minutes and end up there for hours getting roped into playing video games...watching a movie...swing dancing in the basement....looking up words in a dictionary to settle a fight...golfing in the front lawn....helping brothers with girl problems...hanging out at the house with Bmills and Manda beacuse we all love these boys..going to a uglyl Christmas sweater party....going to the Sig Ep house with a few of those boys for hours on end just talking about everything with Nevolo...making hamburgers downstairs and setting off the fire alarms....I could go on and on--bottom line? These boys mean the world to me and I can't imagine my life without them.
21. KD Formal!! This year I went with Eric Maroun and after a tasty dinner at Skyline and hanging out at my house with my girls and their dates beforehand...rock on formal! Great music and amazing people...best one yet! The dates of my sisters were all ones that I had gotten to know throughout the year from around the Greek community and lets just say that they are amazzzing! Eric was the perfect date and I couldn't have asked for a better one! Everyone that was there made it just amazing.
23. The DRIDGE. What can I say about this girl...she's one of my favorite people and someone I can't imagine my life without. Whether it's getting coffee @ the MT Cup...getting to know you better @ Hurricane Cincinnati...bitching about PHC and Greek life drama...talking about our crazy stressors...you at KD formal (hehe)...becomming KD favorite (the first in history)...end of the year party at my house where you got upset about the sacreligiousness of posing for a picture with nativity figurines.... Dridge I could go on and on...I hope someday to become half the woman that you are. You are one of my role models. I know you don't think that you have all that much impact on me but just know that you have impacted my life in such a positive way. I love you and i can't WAIT for more great memories :) Obsession Obsession Obsession...Love your face :)
24. Thursday lunches with the Joe. Without those lunches I don't think my sanity would be so well intact. We bitch...we get things off our chests....it's what we do. Thanks.
25. Getting Spring Break 2007 finalized!! Jamie, Eric, Whitted, Shawn, Collin, Betsy and Ellen...it's going to be one heck of a crazy time so get ready!
26. Seeing one of my best friends become a mother. Becca I am so proud of you and so excited to what an amazing wife and mother you are/can be. Connor is beautiful and you finally have the family everyone wishes for...maybe the timing isn't perfect...but you got the perfect family. I love you and I can't to watch Connor grow..and someday...watch your family grow too :)
Ok well that's 26...I know I left people out and so many memories have impacted me from last year just weren't included here but know that I love all of you. I am who I am because of all of you. Thanks for an AWESOME year and I can't WAIT for all the new memories we're about to be making! | | |
| I am not always eloquent.
I don't always believe in God.
I procrastinate. with everything.
I have big dreams but don't know if I have enough strength to make them a reality.
I am random.
I am not perfect. Accept it already.
I am stubborn.
And over-extended.
Love is kind of like Santa and the Easter Bunny...it' something you're told as a child to make you feel all warm inside. It's doesn't exist.
I don't eat right, sleep right, or drink enough water.
I sing songs out loud that I make up in my head.
I am distant...
And moody.
And selfish.
I'm a dreamer and a realist.
I don't believe in second place.
I am independent.
I am co-dependent.
This is me.
Don't like it? Screw you. | | |
| Highlights of the past couple of weeks 1. Staying up until 5am @ the Fiji house with some of my favorite people in the world...those boys are what keeps me sane. Shawn, Eric, Tony, Jamie and all the Fijis....you all break the stereotype of what a fraternity is/means. I feel so grateful for you guys. 2. Getting 21 amazing women for Kappa Delta...make us proud ladies! 3. Allowing myself to care once more about a guy and allowing myself the chance at happiness... 4. Thursday lunches :) We are never too busy for eachother and throughout the past few years we've been through it all...if we can survive that we can survive anything. 5. Spending time with my mom on those annoying work weekends. I hope someday to be 1/2 the woman she is. 6. Random nights @ Bdubs and Puertas with a million friends and a million laughs...college is about moments. 7. Knowing that 2 years ago when I walked down McKinley or into Bracken I would not know a single soul...now everywhere I go there are groups of people where I know them all. 8. Finally feeling like there IS a place where I can fit in and where I am accepted, regardless of all of my imperfections...BSU is everything I need. 9. Cubs vs. Reds game in Ohio and all that it entailed...a random group of people....random night of fun....definately will be one of my happiest memories from Junior year. 10. The knowledge that I have 100+ fraternity guys/sorority women who would be there in an INSTANT if I ever needed them...the bond we all share is unbreakable. | | |
| New semester, new chance.It's been awhile, here's some thoughts.
As much as I may want to do Rugby, I want the Deans List more.
Kappa Delta pretty much rocks my world.
Could he finally be someone worthy to take home to the family?
I hate running but I love how it makes me feel afterwards.
I miss my sanity and best friend in Indianapolis.
The Cubs game with 3 of my favorites is in 17 days.
I am beginning to look forwards to my Thursday lunches with you.
Brock Hillman is my new favorite artist--check him out.
This semester is full of changes, but change is GOOD.
And I will leave you with this quote from the great Eric Maroun, "Steve Irwin being killed by a stingray is like a snake charmer being killed by a racoon bite." | | |
