I no longer have broken iPod earphones that are taped together! My brother gave me an extra pair of his and it's like the Lexus of earphones! It's amazing how much better my music sounds! I get a little cocky walking down the street because I have some pretty kick ass music playing in my ears. Until I trip over myself walking through Times Square, then my cocky attitude goes away real quick! ;)
It's purge day at my internship, which means I walk home with a ton of great products! I have a radio/mirror/clock for my shower! Awesome! Not only can I dance all over my apartment, I can now take the party into my shower! Among many other great and fabulous things--style books, perfume, a clutch, a wallet, nail polish, candy!, and the list goes on! My editors are amazing! They are so great and fun to work with!
Tonight, I spend all of my time on the phone catching up with friends! It's great! I talk to Abby, who I haven't talked to in ages; I talk to Maddie about wedding stuff; my friend, Holly about her coming to visit; and I talk to Greg about his ex-girlfriend/hopefully soon-to-be again girlfriend. All of our conversations are basically centered around one concept: Life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. It's crazy how similar our conversations are! With life, love, and happiness comes difficulties, confusion, and a definite test of character! I got an e-mail a while back on "45 Lessons in Life." I want to share the ones I find most important in my life:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. Make peace with your past, so it won't screw up your present.
3. Take a deep breathe. It calms the mind.
4. When it comes to going after what you want in life, don't take no for an answer.
5. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple. (I wore a purple dress today! Whew hew!)
6. No one is in charge of your happiness, except you.
7. Frame every so-called disaster with these words, "In five years, will this matter?"
8. What other people think of you is none of your business.
9. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
10. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
11. Believe in miracles.
12. Get outside everyday. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
13. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, and show up.
14. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
15. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.Abby is coming to visit in April! Yay! I cannot wait to see her! We also talk about a trip we want to take together next year. We're thinking Vegas! Me and Vegas...ahh geeze! I could be married twice within one year! ;) I'm just kidding. Once is enough for me! Abby does have a good point--she tells me I should look into how Vegas does annulments. My luck, I'll get married, not be able to get it annulled, and be stuck forever! The more I talk about this, the more I realize how ridiculous I sound and maybe this isn't as great of an idea as I thought when I was home! I need to let my "fiance" know about this! ;) Maybe we should go to the Bahamas instead!
We get on the subject of Valentine's Day and surprises. I love surprises! I love being surprised! I think it's so much fun and I love how someone takes the time and effort into creating such a spectacular day! Problem is. I'm always the one who does the surprising. I never get surprised. I'm throwing a slight pity party for myself right now. I want to be surprised! Not necessarily for V-Day, but any day would be fine with me! ;) But, back to V-Day. Abby loves it as much as I do! Our plan: if we don't have dates, our dates are going to be a bottle of Reisling/Port, a love movie, take-out, and a box of kleenex! ;) Hell, I may splurge and buy myself a card! Maybe even buy some flowers! Who knows? Now, I'm in the mood for conversation hearts! After wine, those could be quite entertaining! ;)
The pain in my legs and hips is not going away. I think I'm going to have to break down and go to the doctor. I hate going to the doctor. You sit in a waiting, filled with germs of people coughing with their mouths open, wiping their snotty noses with their hands, then touching a chair or a door; and yelling at their misbehaved children, who are running around! This sucks. And above this, I have two huge blisters on both of my ankles! It hurts to walk in any kind of shoe! Damn it.
Have you seen the new Folgers commercial? It's so cute! And it goes along with my "love" themed blog! Watch it here. I can't wait for the day my dad says this to me! ;)
Note to self: It's really hard to understand where someone comes from, when you're from a world that's completely different. When you come from a loving family, who is open about their feelings, it's hard to understand why someone else has a hard time expressing their own feelings. Maybe it's because they don't know how; maybe they don't want to; maybe, maybe, maybe. When does it get to the point where you no longer care about the maybes? Where you are exhausted of trying to figure everything out?
Even though you are exhausted, it's all of the unanswered questions you have, that, deep down, you already know the answers to, but will never get a concrete answer. Maybe, for you, it's no longer your job to worry about this. Like Greg says, "If you already know the answer, then you have everything you need." Agreed. It just sucks when the other person doesn't have the guts to tell you what's really going on. Whether they still love you, or just want to be friends, or really don't love you anymore--you would think they would be adult enough to tell you. This is where people are different. And this is where life gets frustrating.
