..7 people that make my life a little bit better just by being in it..

I'm feeling really blessed today. So here ya go.

1) Cory Alan. We've had a long history. I may or may not have been in love with him when I was in high school. We've been through a lot, but he's the one that taught me what the definition of a "real friend" is. He's extremely talented and has traveled all over the world, and may have been 3,000+ miles away at any given time over the last 8 years, but he was there for me more than any of the people who were right here. He is an amazing person and I am blessed to have him in my life.

2) Mom. Dad. Josh. Jessica. Tristen.
I seriously have the best family around (although apparently I don't take pictures of them, cuz I can't find any). They are my escape from the bad parts of my life. I know that maybe I haven't turned out to be EXACTLY what they wanted me to be, but they are always supportive. My brother is one of my best friends and Jessica is the sister that I've always wanted. I just love them all.

3)
Marisa. I don't really have a whole lot of friends that are girls. Too much drama. Too much catty. The few that I do have are AMAZING people. Are we catty? Can we be evil and mean? Yeah. But not to each other and that is all that matters. She listens to my craziness and I laugh at her nonsense. We make fun of people and (like all good friends) we agree which whores we hate. It's a beautiful thing. KS KREW!


4)
Cody. I've known him less time than most of the other people on this list, but that doesn't mean I love him any less. He is the perfect person for Kyle and I really think that I owe the friendship that I have today with Kyle to Cody. He's helped Kyle grow up into the amazing person he is today. At first, he was just "Kyle's boyfriend" but now he is someone that I truly love and consider to be one of my bestest friends. Puts a smile on my face everyday.


5)
Jesse. I took Jesse in when he was just a little gay. :P Back in the day I never thought we would be where we are now. I tell Jesse EVERYTHING. He is the person that I go to when I need to vent, when I need to cry, when I need to laugh and when I need someone to assure me that what I'm doing is absolutely right and I couldn't have done it better (maybe not so much that last one). Sometimes it's hard to figure him out, but I wouldn't trade him in for anything. Love you Ju.




6) Kaylee. Um... She is just like me (only better). She has the kindest heart of anyone I have ever met. Ever. In my life, ever. She's the person that makes me feel better about life when I feel lonely and like I'm the only person in the world going through what I am going through. We cry over everything. We put 100% of ourselves into all the relationships in our life. I feel like I understand myself a little bit better after having one of our awesomely famous girl's nights. These are the kinds of girls that I need in my life.

7)
Brandon. Sometimes I don't know what is going on with us. He can be the most confusing person in the history of the world. But when we're friends, we're best friends. I am more myself with Brandon than with anyone else. I think that we bring out each other's best and worst, and I have a connection with Brandon that will never ever be broken. It's something I count on.


Life is a confusing and unpredictable thing, but I am lucky enough to have people like this in my life to make a little more sense out of things :

..10 things i am quite possibly addicted to..

1) Let's start with the most obvious. Facebook. ADDICTION. Quite possibly to the point of being unhealthy. Stalking? Usually illegal. On Facebook? THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOOORRRR. Yup. And everything everyone does is on that first little page when you log in. Information at the touch of a button. Amazement. BTW - MySpace sucks. I deleted mine. Facebook is the new MySpace (which I totally called 4 years ago before it went huge. That's right. I set trends).

2) Surveys. All the information that you NEVER EVER wanted to know about me? I am sure I have done a survey for it. I'm sure I have done every survey on Facebook/MySpace/anyotherwebsiteyoucouldpossiblyfind two or three times. Do people make fun of me for it? Yes. Do I care? Not in the least. Chances are if you make fun of me for it, I do more of them just to spite you. That's the kind of person I am. Deal.

3) More to Love. Now... TECHNICALLY, I haven't actually SEEN the tv show. Just the commercials for it last night. Premise: Girls that are NOT a size 2 (like all the other reality dating show contestants on tv) Bachelor style. Um... Yes. I am not a size 2. I am not a size 12. Neither is half of America. Probably more than half. However, all reality tv contestants? Size 2. MAYYYYBBBEEE 4. Unless you are on one of those tv shows where they are making fun of you, you don't see REAL girls looking for love. So anyway... Saw the preview for it last night. Starts in July. I WILL be addicted to it. It could possibly make me cry. The only thing I want to know is
why I wasn't invited to the casting call. Hmm...

4) Growing my hair out. I used to have long hair. A
ss long. I got sick of it one summer and couldn't get into a salon to get it cut for a few days. My dad got sick of me whining about it and took some scissors to it. Chopped it to my shoulders. Yeah. Traumatizing. Since then I have really only had short hair. I've been growing it out since... Octoberish and IT JUST ISN'T GROWING FAST ENOUGH. Bah. I have been taking prenatal vitamins because someone told me that it helps your hair grow. Really? The only thing I've noticed is that my rack is getting bigger. That is not a negative thing because I feel it makes my waist look smaller, but... I WANT LONG HAIR DAMMIT. So yes, it has become an obsession.

5) Twitter. This kind of ties into the whole "I love facebook stalking" thing. I have a few friends on there, but for the most part I am just following celebrities. Are they the ACTUAL celebrities? Probably not. But I like to pretend they are. The only downside to Twitter is that when your friends tell you they are doing something to get out of hanging out with you, and then you get a Tweet that they are actually hanging out with your sworn enemy? Um...
Time to get new friends. Maybe.

6) Textsfromlastnight.com. OMG. I think this is my favorite thing that I've come across in the last... well... ever. Probably because I have a handful of people that most of these text COULD be from. *cough* Michael *cough* You go that website and tell me that you aren't crying tears of laughter in like 4 minutes and I will happily stab you in the jaw. HILARIOUS.

7) My nephew Tristen. Yes. He is 7 months old and the cutest baby of all time. I know lots of people say that, and I could be bias, but LOOK AT HIM:

Anything cuter than that? No. Seriously. He is just getting to that stage where he is starting to "talk". Mostly it's jibberish, and he just laughs all the time. He is the first "grandchild" in our little family of me and my brother and I don't even care that my YOUNGER brother is more than likely going to get married before me, because I have this little button of a nephew. I can't get enough of him.


8) Twilight.
I know, I know. Big surprise. I can't help it. I blame my mother. She read them first and for a year she was like "You have to read these books!" and I was like "Vampires? No. Never. Hate them." But when I was living alone and being depressed last year, I finally borrowed them from her and... she was right. I do love them. I am not sure WHY exactly I love them, maybe because I haven't dated anyone in so long that a vampire boyfriend sounds damn good right now. Yep. Will take anything. Moving on. I've read the books way too many times to count & I'm okay with that.

9) Jen Lancaster.
She is the author of "Bitter is the New Black", "Bright Lights, Big Ass", "Such a Pretty Fat" and "Pretty in Plaid". HILARIOUS. If you like chick lit (and you should), I definitely recommend it. She also has a blog: jennsylvania.com, and she is seriously one of those people that I know I would be best friends with if we were ever to meet in person.

10) Going to the Gym. HA! Fooled you. This is something I am HOPING to become addicted to. Right now I am at the point where I hate it. LOATH it. Just while I'm doing it though. Afterwards I feel wonderful and want to go home and eat healthy food. But while I'm there, I am pretty much screaming at Jesus for creating fat people. Yeah. I said it. But I really do have it in my goals to get "healthier" (read: skinny). I'm working on it and people have been telling me I'm looking good (but again, this could also be do to the fact that my knockers are getting bigger from the prenatals). But we shall see. :)
