Yeah...im on an online dating site...

Well hello...long time no talk.

This quick little blog is just to admit...yes i am on an online dating site. Actually it is a lot of fun. I have yet to really meet anyone, but i have been talking to a lot of interesting guys. I have had a lot of responses even though i have been on the site for less then one week.

The reason why i joined this online dating site, is because I have been feeling like it is time to meet some more people. While it is easy to meet people (for me), I find myself meeting the same kind of people. So i have decided to reach out. Here are some of the ways that i am planning on reaching out:

1. I will be returning to Church this Sunday after quite some time - for reasons that do not need to be discussed.
2. Instead of reading at home (the many books on my list) i will be going to coal creek coffee to read during the week.
3. of course the online dating site
4. Going to a party by myself without any friends in tow. For example, i will be going to a friends party where he will be the only one i know by myself this friday after bowling. It couldn't hurt right?!
5 Finally, when i return to school i will not just return home right after class or between classes but will hang out in the library or in the union. I also plan to chat it up with some of my classmates after class. Hey who knows maybe i will even go to the gym? (that might be pushing it though- i like my workout tapes they are so much fun!)

Well that is my new thought on how i am going to try more things...
check ya later...

ps i will post a picture of my ugly sweater that i will be wearing this friday for the tacky sweater party...its actually pretty rockin! :)

Bowling League!

So last week I decided to get a group of friends together to start a bowling league. Well...IT WAS AWESOME!!! It was sooo much fun. Sean, Justin, Melissa, and I had the best time ever!! We really enjoyed ourselves even though our team isn't that great and we have a huge handicap we laughed the whole time!!! Great time I tell ya!!!

Well tomorrow is Friday which means more bowling...and on Saturday HALLOWEEN!!! :) be safe everyone... especially if you are in this snow storm that has been around for 3 days!!

Update- requested by Cindy Loo-hoo :-)

Well apparently i've been slacking on posting- but thats not unusual. So before The Hills and The City start in 27 minutes, I thought i would take the time to update my blog.

Well, since last Tuesday Emily (my roomie) has been in Belgium and Germany. She will return home this Friday evening. I am very excited for her to come home considering...she accidently took the mail key...WHOOPS! I have been waiting patiently for my Halloween costume - ELVIS!!! Great idea by the way. It has fringe, big rhinestones, sunglasses, and a CAPE!!! I am super excited.

This past weekend was quite an adventure- Mel and I hung around Friday night bouncing around from bar to bar- it was a good time but on saturday I was completely lazy- the only thing i did was meet up with a guy - which was a total DUD...oh well.

However, on Sunday when Mel and I went for our mid afternoon beer to watch the football games at the Library - i met a nice fella from Germany. Very cute, intelligent, funny, and well he spoke German pretty well...so we will see if we hang out in the future.

Surprisingly enough - i am beginning to see more and more dates roll around my direction which is really nice - but i am super busy and those boys think they can just call me the night before...Really guys REALLY? Call at least the day before I mean give a girl a break - you think I'm just sitting around waiting for you to call. NOOOOO!! I have friends hello and boys that follow rules calling me (even though the boys calling in advance are a no go for me )

Anyways...something exciting I have yet to post online is.....DRUM ROLL PLEASE!! I got another Tattoo to begin my new fun life and being me again - the tattoo is to new beginnings.

Well gotta jet - chinese food!

Pictures to follow :-)

ACCEPTED!!!

Well i did it i finally applied to go back to school to finish my Education degree. I WAS OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED LAST WEEK! :-) so beginning in January I will be taking classes again to get my Elementary Education Degree - i am hoping to get my reading endorsement as well and of course study for the GRE again so i can get a masters degree during night classes when i am finally a teacher...

well not much else is new -

Realizations from saying goodbye to Mazy The Mazda

Today I said goodbye to Mazy (my Mazda). It was actually a really hard time for me. As I was cleaning out all of the different compartments of my car, i began to realize that tears were rolling down my cheeks. Its hard to believe that such a faithful car that traveled the U.S. with me and how she never disappointed me when I just had to get out of time or even offered a place to stay for the night. I found scissors bought from a trip in some dollar store on my way to Missouri with Cindy before our trek across the nation. I discovered bachlorette playing cards from a wild adventure in Denver for Nikki. Bobby pins, cds, shoes, and tire chains that reminded me of the Donner pass and peoples obsession of glorifying that whole tragedy, memories of crazy fun times with Chris. Saying good bye to this car really made me realize that just certain memories of my life are just memories now and sadly I guess its just time to let go of it...considering those memories are just that- memories. New memories will come and go. Saying good bye is hard by letting go is harder...i guess the new chapter really has begun...I suppose Mazy hung around longer then just the college years and I'm thankful for that...hopefully those memories will hang around for longer yet remind me that with Mazy those times have flown out the window. With a new car approaching and being discovered (hopefully soon) new memories of being spontaneous, blind and unwaivering love, friends, and new risks will arise.

24th birthday and a car accident

My 24th birthday went really well this year! I had a really great time hanging out with the gal pals and just hanging out at the library for Patty Fiasco, who sang happy birthday to me. It was also a lot of fun going to the Naughty Pines Roller Derby. It was such a blast spending the whole weekend just having a great time.



Sadly, I was in a horrible accident this past Thursday. A sixteen year old hit me head on, when she turned left into my lane. I found out on Friday my car is officially dead and pretty much can not be repaired. Sage and I are both okay from the accident. I had a pretty bad neck and back sprain which is finally starting to feel better even though it is still painful. Hopefully i will be posting pictures soon of a new car, from the money her insurance will be paying me...hopefully i won't have to get a second job to make payments.

Secret Admirer

Lately, I have been arriving home from work or waking up early in the morning to find flowers scattered around my car, wondering up the stairs, or monkeys placed by more door.

Curiously, the flowers are either my favorite kind or my favorite color. The monkey was pink. This person obviously knows me and i just want to send a quick thank you-

Wish i could guess who you are :-)

{excuse the picture- some of the flowers are getting old- but this has been going on for weeks- who are you :-)}
