the past couple days have been pretty fun. let's see.. wednesday, britt and i took my little sister to busch gardens. it was cool spending some time with brandy, we never really get to. i rode the griffon for the first time.. just before we stopped at the top, i let out this loud scream. haha, it was awesome though. we even got our faces painted, just like the little kids do!

thursday was shopping spree day. i spent all day shopping online. let me tell you.. you can get some great deals that you can't find in the stores around here. google the words "coupon code" along with the store's name.. you can find so many discounts on merch and shipping it's unbelievable. and if you're looking for a cute variety of jeans, go to karmaloop.com. the jeans there range from 30-200 dollars.. but for 65 bucks, you can buy some of their colorful skinny jeans. i love it!

friday.. bartended in the morning. me and amber always use that day to vent to each other. we were definitely cracking each other up. then i met up with cheryl, natalie, dennis, mez and josh at the bayou boogaloo. i've never tried cajun food.. and i still haven't! haha. they had fried alligator there.. dennis says it doesn't taste bad.. i'll just take his word for it. of course we stopped at waterside and had some more drinks. i feel bad because icky was the only one left, and i kept saying how i wanted him to be my party date because i wanted to go with an unshaven body, greasy hair, and unbrushed teeth. haha it was so weak..

anyways.. now it's saturday. bartending with allison tonight! wouldn't it be nice if the money just came free?

i just spent three and a half hours sleeping on the beach. slept away my sickness, and got a great tan. haha. not much planned tonight, may go hang out with a friend. we shall see.

 

 

 

my horoscope for today. hmmm.

"The people around you today don't seem like they are saying what they truly mean -- could they be holding their tongue because they are afraid of hurting your feelings or ticking you off? When they ask you for your opinions, you don't mince words -- so why should they? Speak up and let them know that when you ask them a question, you expect the truth. Ask for this kind of honesty today -- and be prepared for what it may bring you. Dancing around the truth is a waste of time."

I get so emotional when I even think about the word. Have you ever felt like something was a part of you so much, even though it happened so long ago? I haven't had any dreams about it for a couple months, but I remember every single one of them. I don't know what they mean, or why I have them. I think they are what motivate me to someday visit Europe. I was researching on the net today.. and just seeing pictures was hurtful enough. The stories are too hard to bear. But I'm glad our generation has these stories, so we can understand and learn. I admire those who experienced this tragedy first-hand for their strength and courage, they are much better people than I.

this is my checklist for life. it's still in progress. don't laugh

in no specific order, i want to:

-graduate college. and hopefully be a history professor.

-this one comes in hand with the first. i'd like to teach underpriveleged kids, whether it be in our own country or overseas.

-get married. not anytime soon though

-adopt a family for christmas. i've always wanted to return the favor.

-visit new york. again. and again. and again.

-study in poland or germany.

-put my feet in the pacific ocean.

-see the yankees play the front row (and not in the outfield!)

-see survivor in concert.

-take my mother on a limitless shopping spree

-fall in love again. and this time keep it.

 

theres just no one who gets me like you do.. you are my only one..
