is this it?

25 more random thoughts/statements/things/facts/etc.

1. I am grateful for becoming closer to my family this year. September has been especially good to me in this aspect.
2. Last week I was coming off the freeway and gave a homeless man an unopened bottle of water. He mumbled something to the effect of, "fucking warm." Before I could register this, the light turned green and I drove off. I looked back and I saw him chuck the bottle into the side of the off-ramp. I was floored.
3. Ever since high school I use the words affect/effect wrong. It confuses me every time. I don't even know if I used it right in #2.
4. I like watching K-1 (I surprisingly am glued to the TV), but hate watching UFC (I don't want to see two grown men hugging the floor).
5. My birthday is supposed to be a day earlier than it is on my birth certificate.
6. Sick of the cookie-cutter-lookin', victim of the male gaze type grrls.
7. It's okay to let your guard down once and a while.
8. I donate my type O+ blood on the regular.
9. Yellow and rose gold have grown on me...I always thought it was for old ladies...but I guess I'm becoming one.
10. Isn't it annoying when parents/random strangers talk to little kids...like they are little kids? Exaggerated baby talk.
11. I don't go to church, but I experience the presence of God in other ways (i.e. hot yoga, smoking cannabis, sex, riding my bike, etc.).
12. I have the tendency to stand up for people no matter what.
13...is a favorite number of mine.
14. When in love, wears her heart on her sleeve.
15. Favorite color is purple...different shades.
16. Is a registered bone marrow donor...hopes to get picked and save a life.
17. Thinks way too much when she is alone.
18. Just realized this has become a blog in third person.
19. Has had her heart broken not once, but twice.
20. I really love eating leftovers.
21. Aims to be self-sufficient in many aspects of my life.
22. I love the smell of cigarettes, but not cigarette smoke.
23. Inspiration is my motivation.
24. When I used to cry as a kid I would look in the mirror. Watching myself would make me cry even harder. My five year old niece does the same thing.
25. Opens up too much. Perhaps a bad thing, but I'm hoping it turns out to be a good thing.

no good deed goes...

I should have known.

I miss you already!

lost cause

Been feeling high and low lately. I can feel autumn around the corner. I usually would be starting school at this time. There was always something in the air that made me stressed out. A lot of things have happened this year that have made me have hope again and look forward to something bigger. I've always asked myself "Is this it?" I realize I need to discard the word "try" from vocabulary. My five year old niece even told me, "I don't want to hear excuses, I want to see results."

I'm lost. Please let me find my way.

vegas bound

tragedy plus time equals comedy

I'm drinking a diet coke right now because it was the only cold beverage in the house besides water. Now I know why I only drink non-diet soda. I have this bottle of grenadine, but no sprite, therefore no shirley temples I can make. Yes I know I said I would give up soda, which I have for the most part, but sometimes I have cravings understand? Wow pointless information.

I am awaiting confirmation on whether or not my cousin is in Vegas tonight. I may or may not go. Apparently what happens in Vegas does not always stay in Vegas, contrary to popular opinion. I love people with a sense of humor, even during the most sensitive of family matters.
