Who I Miss the Most

Fri, 04 Mar 2011 15:13:00 -0500

Why, hello, again tumblr. I have been awfully busy recently so therefore that would explain my lack of post. But guess what, I actually missed posting a little, and in honor of everyone who misses something or someone in their lives, I’ve decided to make this post about the person I miss the most.

DANIELLE!!! <3 <3 <3

My wonderful friend, Danielle, lives so far away in Hawaii, which is ridiculously awesome! It is also very sad because she is so far away from me. I met Danielle my freshman year of college and a year later, she still remains as one of my closest friends.

(the most normal picture of us ever)

Here are some of the fabulous things, I love about Danielle:

her great fashion sense
her music taste
the fact that she doesn’t take shit from anyone
how she thinks she is mean, but she is not
she is spunky

I also love her because she is, in a word, FABULOUS! She always keeps me grounded. We share a special bond due to the fact that we can quote the entire dialogue of “10 Things I Hate About You”. I love our walks around campus together where we talk about the 3289402 boys we like and I like how I can dry her hair like a speed demon. And I love talking about the jealous pizza with her. She is actually Elphaba and I am actually Glinda. Oh and I can’t wait to go to Applebees neighborhood BAR & GRILL with her when she comes back. And my favorite thing about Danielle, is our favorite game!!!

Danielle, I miss you <3

Pandora at it's Finest

Wed, 23 Feb 2011 12:30:38 -0500

I just settled down in the library and I set my pandora on the Death Cab for Cutie Station. And my first three songs:

The Ice is Getting Thinner - Death Cab

Dog Days are Over - Florence and the Machine

Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles

I am so happy. Hey, everyone, Here comes the sun <3 Have a great day everyone!

Names....

Thu, 17 Feb 2011 15:49:33 -0500

So, I’m currently sitting in the library trying to do work. I have been doing homework and filling out applications for the past 2 hours and I physically can’t concentrate anymore so I decided now was just as good time as any to tumblr post today. (Look how good I am - posting everyday).

Anyways, I kinda just want to talk about how lovely people’s names are and even more lovely it is when people address others with them. I absolutely love when people address me as “Michelle” even when we are great friends and have been talking for a half an hour.

Now, I’m not saying that people call me by something else other than my name but I am saying that I think people today don’t really call people anything when they are talking to them. There is never a pause to say “…And you know what, Michelle, this happened…” or “Have you ever heard of this movie, Michelle?” I’ve just seemed to notice that people really do not address the people they are talking to by name anymore.

If you know me, I am sure you are aware that every time I see you, I will always say your name and use your name several times throughout our conversation together. I don’t do this to prove a point, I actually just address people by their name naturally and its just recently that I noticed that people don’t really reciprocate.

Well, let me just tell the 7 people who will actually read this, that I adore hearing someone actually use my name in conversation when they are talking to me. It makes me feel special, appreciated, and simply happy. So, if you can try to remember to just let someone hear their name out loud in conversation, I think you will really brighten up their day. Maybe not many people have thought about it too much but I guarantee that everyone would love it if you did.

It’s polite and makes everything more personal. And in such a cut throat society full of politics, I think its nice to add that little bit of special into someone’s day - a little bit of manners, a little bit of appreciation, just by using someone’s name. = )

Power Color!

Wed, 16 Feb 2011 14:51:38 -0500

So, today I just happen to be wearing my power color so I decided to post about it for kicks and giggles. I always wanted to know what my power color was. I mean I eventually just took some silly quiz online to find out last year. But whatever, I like my power color and its fun to just wear it. It just makes you feel a little more confident or just make you smile when you remember.

So anyways, my power color is Teal!

And it means:

Your Power Color Is Teal

At Your Highest:

You feel accomplished and optimistic about the future.

At Your Lowest:

You feel in a slump and lack creativity.

In Love:

You tend to be many people’s ideal partner.

How You’re Attractive:

You make people feel confident and accepted.

Your Eternal Question:

“What Impression Am I Giving?”

And I would have to say, that is this is pretty accurate if compared to my personality. Take a quiz online, its fun to know!

"I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it."

You’re the Inspiration by Chicago

This is the last love song I will be posting for Valentine’s. Chicago is a great band with a great sound and I love them. This is also my parents’ wedding song and therefore I love this song even more. This is for all of the happy couples out there and those who are still looking. In my opinion, this song is the epitome of what love is. Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone.

Secret Valentine by We The Kings

Basically a song about Valentine’s Day. I’m a big fan of the lyrics and of the band in general. I can relate to this song and basically any other college student. Perfect for the day, I must say.

Mon, 14 Feb 2011 11:15:31 -0500

And So It Goes by Billy Joel.

This song is not only one of my favorites songs ever, it is also one of the most raw and genuine love songs in my opinion. A beautiful melody with true lyrics. Not to dampen the Valentine’s Day mood but this love song, I’m sure everyone can relate to.

- For all of those who love someone on Valentine’s Day and can’t do anything about it.

Hey everyone! So in honor of Valentine’s Day, I have...

Sun, 13 Feb 2011 23:44:49 -0500

Hey everyone! So in honor of Valentine’s Day, I have decided to post some of my favorite love songs. As I think of them, I’ll post them throughout the day. First I’d like to start out with “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” by Meatloaf. It is such a great rock duet. About two lovers who realize they still have feelings for each other. Amazing in my opinion and I would love to sing it with someone. Anyways enjoy <3

Blogging - A concept which I don't understand

Thu, 10 Feb 2011 16:53:38 -0500

I seem to never ever am able to get into blogging at all. Facebook, no problem, twitter, love it. But I just can’t blog. What do people even blog about? Their lives? Funny icons? Websites? Nothing really sounds that important to me that I wanna show everyone I know. But I’m gonna give this one more shot, mainly because I am bored and partly because I secretly want to find it’s appeal. People love it. Well, I’m gonna try to blog a little bit everyday about something pointless that no one really cares about at all. =) But I’m gonna try, even if nobody cares in hopes that publishing ramblings might be therapeutic. Okay, I’m ready. My four followers, are you?

Just me Rambling on about Life and the People in it

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 12:25:41 -0400

I am a pretty open person, you know. I try to accept everyone for who they are and I always make an effort to get to know people. I have done this all of my life but perhaps even more so in college. I guess I figured that I could void all of the stetreotypes of high school and I did. In most cases, when I would speak to someone I would never talk to in high school, they actually wouldn’t be a carbon copy of the high shcool stereotype. (In most cases but not all)

But being home this summer and (unfortunatly) being without most of my best friends from college, I was reunited with people/friends whom I graduated with and some people/friedns who remain in high school still. And very recently I have discovered that high school itself is a stereotype and it really cannot be voided.

Believe me, I have some friends who are seniors and juniors in high school this year and I can honestly say that they are great friends. But those are seriously a select few. I go to parties, go to work, go out on the town, etc with friends my age and unfortunatly kids that are younger. And it was never so apparent than it has been recently, that the maturity levels are far too different at this point in my life.

These kids (yes, I actually call them kids) today act as though they know everything. And I’m sure they think they do know everything. And maybe when I was their age, I thought that too. But it is actually torture being in their company as they think they understand the world and knowing that they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

I am not saying that I know everything there is to know about life because I’m lost just as much as the next person my age. All I am saying is that I am more educated then they are. Who knows maybe the seniors at college think the same way of me. I’ll never really know and they won’t know either.

So, I’ve always have been willing to accept everyone and I still am. But this is no doubt making it much harder. The difference of maturity levels have never been so apparent and frankly, I cannot wait to go back to school.

“…I love you. Not like they told you love is, and I didn’t know this either, but love don’t make things nice - it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren’t here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people…”

To Live Happily #2

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:15:15 -0400

Laugh. A lot.

So, I work in this little convenint store (also as a waitress in a dining room there) in the rich fancy shmancy retirement communitiy. And there is this beautiful 24 years old guy who works in the TV department. He is the nicest person I’ve me in such a long time and he may the most attractive guy ever. He has a beautiful baby face and sparkling personality. He comes in the store about twice a day.

He waved to me and it was the greatest moment ever!! And there I was giggling like a red faced idiot. If I knew his last name I would probably me doodling it on my notebook! He walks into the store and I immediatly get all slap happy as I try to contorl my laughter much to my friend’s (who works with me) amusement.

Hot boys aside, the constant laughing made me so insanely happy. The laughing seriously upped my mood. So maybe if we all laughed a little more a day the world seem a little brighter. =)

To Live Happily #1

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 22:27:04 -0400

Be Healthy. Go walking with a friend. Be active. Take a dance class. Going a gym. Don’t pig out too much. Eat right but cheat once in a while :D. Run around the block. Today, I walked with my friend for 2 miles and did a dance dvd yesterday. So I’ve decided to start posting little things I (and everyone for that matter) can do to live happily everyday. And so I’m going to post these little tidbits to remind everyone and myself what we all can do to enjoy life and live happily.

Well on this very rainy day (the only day this week I happened...

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 22:58:39 -0400

Well on this very rainy day (the only day this week I happened to not be working), I decided to devote my time to movies. =) I haven’t really had too much time to sit down and watch a bunch of movies consecutively. But today I did.

I first began my morning with the Disneyland episode of Full House which is still one of my all time favorite shows. Then followed by a few episodes of iCarly. I am seriously in love with Freddie <3 Marry me please!

My brother and I proceeded to watch the Panic Room which was surprisingly very decent. Beleive it or not Kristen Stewart could at once act! She was a little 12 year old in 2001 (or 02, I forget) and she was actually a good little actress! Shocker, I know. Then after that I watched A Beautiful Mind which was fantastic. And then at night I saw Eclipse for the second time with one of my besties and our moms. Not as good as New Moon (by far!) but significantly better than Twilight. The flashbacks in the movie were really well done but it dragged a bit in the middle and frankly lacked the humor that New Moon had. And I mean Twilight was awful. New Moon still has my heart thought Eclipse was my favorite book of the series.

Disclaimer: I am not a Twilight freak. Most definetly a fan…but not a freak. Believe what you will!

The winner of the cinematic day was clearly A Beautiful Mind. It was a fantistic movie that was so well done. I cannot beleive that Russell Crowe didn’t get the Oscar for it. The story of John Nash was unbelievable and the movie actually made you think. When we discovered his roommate wasn’t real was my favorite part! Loved it, loved it, loved it!

Soooo this is a Tumblr

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 22:29:59 -0400

Well, one of my best friends, Nicole, gave me the idea that maybe I should get a tumblr. And I thought about it for a few days and decided to give in. So, I guess this is it.

Basically, I really think this will be a very interesting summer endeavor. Seriously posting every day (or every other) may actually be a challenge for me. But I’m sure going to try.

Seriously, since I’ve gotten back from college everything about my town (and home life actually) seems significantly more dull than it used to be. So I find myself in kind of a rut. I mean I’m working almost everyday and hanging out with with friends every other yet I don’t really feel over enthused.

So, maybe having this blog thing will help me stay motivated. I have so many goals and aspirations this summer to accomplish and I’m sure as hell not going to let boredom keep me from them.

Well, here we go…
