It was a group decision not to have a specific number of pet peeves to list, SO this will be fun! Ha ha! Since I have quiet a few pet peeves, I will stick to the more serious ones I have.
One of my all time pet peeves would have to be SMOKERS! And not just smokers, but rude, inconsiderate ones. The kind that try and smoke in MY car. The ones that can't go 30 mins without lighting up. It's very irritating trying to hang out with a smoker that has to have a cig all the time. They stink up my car and they reek. It's gross how the smoke sticks to everything! My car will smell days later after a smoker has been in it, my clothes drag it into my house too! Have some common courtesy to smoke away from people, FAR away from people. Also, please don't smoke a cig right before hoping into my car, that's just as bad to me as smoking in my car. I dislike how a smoker having a conversation with someone seems to be a perfect time for them to go have a smoke, and they want me to come outside and conversate while they smoke. I understand that it may be a perfect opportunity for you to light up since we aren't doing anything at the moment but talking, but do you really think I want to sit outside in the freezing weather while you blow smoke in my face?
BAD DRIVERS are another major pet peeve for me! For goodness sakes get off your cell and drive! Don't tailgate me, for I will go slower or slam on the brakes just to laugh about how angry you get. I don't drive slow and therefore you have no reason to be on my ass. Put on your damn blinkers! That's what they are on your car for!
The other day I was cleaning out my car to find that there was a bunch of trash in it that I was unaware of and wasn't even mine! Don't be a SLOB! PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF! I dislike with a passion when people come to my house or go in my car and leave their trash in it. It's annoying and completely rude. I understand that if I had a party at my house that there would be some trash around, but even then I never go to some one's house and leave my shit around. I will ask where to toss it or cart it around if I have too until I find a dumpster. Sometimes people forget, I can understand that, but when it's a constant thing it starts getting very annoying. I know people that are just complete slobs, but keep your sloppiness in YOUR car/house, don't bring it to mine. Even when it is in their house, how do they not get embarrassed about it? Gross.
Wow, writing these pet peeves is really starting to get me worked up! ha ha!
When I go into some one's bathroom or even my own and find HAIR ON THE SHOWER WALLS OR THE SINK! EWW! So nasty! Does someone intentionally just put their hair all over the shower walls? I don't understand how that happens. I really don't understand why someone wouldn't clean that up either. It's nasty going to brush my teeth and seeing multiple long ass hairs in someone's or my sink. I don't really know why it bugs me so, but it does.
The last movie I saw was a few days ago. Always on weekdays (and occasionally weekends), there tends to be a few people that won't SHUT UP! I don't care if you think the actor is flipping gorgeous and I certainly don't think the actress is going to take your screaming advice to her. Shut your mouth. No one came to the movie to listen to you blab! I sure in the hell didn't pay ten bucks to hear your annoying voice. Also, don't constantly push on the back of my seat. It gets very annoying having you put your feet up or constantly keep bumping my seat. So stop. I can easily not do it to the people in front of me, so I expect the same courtesy I give to others.
An old friend of mine was trying to give herself the nickname LaBooty. I don't know if you remember or even read it, but my nickname is SaBooty [Sabrina+my giant bubble butt]. So first off it was very irritating having her try and take my nickname. By the way her name is Laura. So that's where the "La" came into play. To make matters worse she tried to hide the nickname from me. So after she had been trying to call herself this for some months I saw it online and laughed. It's hilarious to me when people give themselves a nickname, and when they give themselves a nickname that doesn't even fit. A nickname is often given to you from someone special, a family member, a close friend, etc; not from yourself. It's SO silly to call yourself "bootylicious" [just an example] when you don't have any booty! Ha ha! It doesn't have to be a body part either, although those are the most common ones that I find hilarious and mostly untrue.
A lot of girls (and guys) are so STUPID AND OBLIVIOUS TO RELATIONSHIPS! I hate it when it is obviously not going to work out, and everyone sees it but you. Your friends are even telling you what they see and still you want to think it's the greatest thing ever, or you have an excuse to why he said or did something he did that was totally wrong. Don't let a girl/guy treat you like shit. He mentally/physically abuses you, then the relationship is over. People take getting treated like dirt when they are SO much better then that! I hate it when a friend asks my advice and I give it to them only to have them do the complete opposite. Don't ask for my advice if you don't ever take it or want to hear it. Sometimes you need to not wait it out and end it before it truly hurts you. I wish they could truly step out of their brain for a minute and soak up all the signs and advice people are telling them. It makes it worse to know that if I came to them with the same problems they would say leave the person. Too frustrating for words on this subject. And SO many people seem to have this problem that it bugs the crap out of me.
I think this is a topper for a lot of people, FLAKES! I don't want to invite people that flake all the time to places with me. Then the few times I see them or bump into them they tell me 'we need to kick it' or ' we need to hang out more'. I've been trying to hang out with you! You like to cancel on me the day before, or the worst, 5 mins before. Be straight up with me about it. If you don't want to hang out, then tell me. My feelings won't get hurt. I'd much rather someone tell me that they don't want to hang out because they are tired or don't want to or whatever, then someone make up a lame excuse at the last minute.
I think everyone should know that meat and other foods become bad and gather tons of bacteria on them after they sit out on the counter for hours. So don't make a meal, have it sit on the counter for 5 hours and then put it back in the fridge. If I see or know that you do that I will not be eating at your house. It's funny to me when people wonder why I won't eat at their house and they do stuff like that. Or I won't eat there because they are complete slobs and their kitchen disgusts me. Having a dirty house is one thing, but having a dirty bathroom and kitchen is too much for me to handle. I won't eat at your house, use your dishes, or do my best never to have to use your bathroom if it is that gross. I'm not a complete clean freak or germ-a-fobe, but I do have my limits on things like that. Food is very serious to me. Would you eat at a restaurant that you find out had a shit ton of cockroaches? That's the same feeling I get with this other stuff. Disgusting!
My final three pet peeves are Lazy people, One uppers, and People that think their life is so horrible or are always depressed. It's one thing to have lazy days, but constantly being lazy erks me. I guess complete homebodies bug me. You need to get out and do something, even if its once a month! If you can't get out because your just that busy, its one thing though. I like to get out and have some fun, and I also like my 'ME' time or a lazy day. Don't tell everyone about your goals to do something and then never do them. It gets annoying hearing about how your going to do something and you speak with so much passion about it but you never make a move toward any of it. A 'one upper' is a person who is always trying to be above you in everything you say or do. They act like they are the best in EVERYTHING! New flash, YOUR NOT! Not everyone can play soccer, softball, bench 200+ lbs, run a mile in 5 mins, etc. I will have a conversation with them or someone else and they have to chime in right in the middle of it just to say they did whatever better. I don't care if you went to Hawaii and I've only been to the snow. I don't need you to tell me how much you think your trip was better then mine, when I was just talking about how when I went to the snow I saw a dog. See where people that are one uppers may get a little annoying? And last but definitely not least, I dislike people that are depressed 24/7. The ones that act like their life is SO miserable. They come hang out and just bring the mood down. Or they won't even hang out ever because they are always so down. Cheer the fuck up! You control your emotions. If you want to believe your life is shit, then that's what it is. If you believe your the happiest person in the freaking world then you will be damn well close to just that. Be happy. Life really isn't that shitty. We all have our ups and downs. People get down in the dumps, but it isn't an everyday thing. We go through shitty times and that's understandable. But eventually things get better. Believe it or not, things do indeed get better. If they don't, it's because you don't want them too.
Well those are the main pet peeves I have. I know I have a few more, but can't think of them at the moment, so they must not be all that big of a pet peeve then.

Rebeccah- The ten things you should have loved a long time ago
We meet yet again dear reader. At last it be the end of the week and I understand you have been simply wringing within your seat in anticipation to find out what amazing 10 things could possibly captivate my attention long and dearly enough to be within the first to pop into my head when it came time to list them in whatever miscellaneous order they appeared. You shall not be let down, as I can assure you with utmost certainty that whatever can possibly fascinate me for longer than a week is truly a worthwhile interest in which you have been wasting your time in not getting to know better.
Before I continue on with this list (and you may breathe in peace as I promise you I shall not pull the rug out from beneath your feet and run away with this list before you have a chance to read in all my precious activities), I should perhaps mention that I shall make no mention of my family including all beloved pets of the furry sort, as well as my most adored non-furry pet otherwise known as my boyfriend. I find it quite obvious and too redundant to note that I love my boyfriend given that sooner or later he shall receive his own post on this blog dedicated entirely to him and I do my best to keep his ego at least a smidge smaller than my own, and I claim to chalking it up to respecting my family and friends’ privacy in order not to write about them if only to spare you the hours of nonsense and inside jokes that would become absolute drivel to you and get across nothing more than what can be said with the simple message that they made me who I am today and I love them all dearly.
I know you could sit and read my rambling thoughts forever but I did promise to give you my list of 10 favorite things and as you all shall learn, I never break a promise unless I really, really feel like it. Fortunately for you this is not one of those times. Enjoy.
1. Role-Playing- I am exaggerating only in the least pathetic way when I state I could literally role-play 24 hours a day. I don’t speak of table-top role-plays, MMORPG’s (not that I haven’t wiled away an hour or ten in directing my loveable Tauren within the realms of World of Warcraft), or LARPing. As briefly mentioned within my last entry, I am talking about one-on-one written role-play. That is to say, a continual story between two people within a world and characters created entirely of our own imagination. There aren’t any rules or laws to be followed save for those we create ourselves. In other words, role-playing in such a form is the absolute way to play God. Not that I have a complex or anything.
2. Writing- Often lumped within the same category as role-play by a certain number of fools doomed to walk this earth, I can say that writing has always been one of my greatest passions although it was labeled as story-telling within my younger years before I had learned the art of forming letters together into semi-coherent words and sentences. Now, I won’t deny that writing and role-play have had their fair number of dirty flings in the past and what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas, but any person who engages in both written activities knows the key difference. Writing is lonely. Sure, it is possible to every once in awhile branch out and stretch out the brains and imaginations from your fellow writers or the likes of that one family member who couldn’t manage to get away from you fast enough, but what it all boils down to is that the physical act of writing, the entire novel from start to finish, is done entirely on your own. And unlike role-playing where only half of the control is yours as to what shall inevitably befall every last character whose misfortune it was to become your creation, in writing, absolutely every final decision of their fate is yours and yours alone.
3. Drawing- I like to tell myself that you know your enjoyment for an activity is genuine when you can do said activity over and over again without getting any better at it yet still continue to find some type of pleasure to keep you coming back to it (Or as the great and all knowing Dagget Beaver once said, 'It doesn't matter if you stink, as long as you're having fun stinking'. We may all learn a lot from him) This is how I view myself and my pathetic scribbles I continue to try to pass off as artwork.

I always found it odd when people said they “began to draw in middle school” or “started drawing seriously my senior year”, as some of my earliest memories have been about drawing and it never even occurred to me that I wasn’t taking it seriously. At yet in spite of said drawing history I can, for once, humble myself into admitting that it has done very little an actually presenting work that reflects a lifetime of practice. As a traditionalist I do very little of my work on the computer, thus no fancy photo shopped CG shiny colored pictures are ever produced in the studio that shall not be named of I. This in turn also means very little of actual interest is ever garnered outside the miniscule palmful of poor saps upon whom I force to ooh and awe over my work.
4. Roses- If it was possible to sleep in a bed of roses a la American Beauty without waking to the sting of a zillion thorns, I absolutely would. That is to say, if I were to become immune to said thorns, not that I wish the rose didn’t have any. If the rose didn’t have any thorns it would lose some of its elusive, unattainable beauty. It is something that should be looked at, not touched, handled with the utmost of care and treated as the centerpiece of all attention, the ultimate representation of romance and grace. The rose has got it right.
5. Beauty and the Beast- I celebrated the beloved day when the glorious Disney version of this film made it out into DvD. I watched said Disney film in Imax the second it was humanly possible in order to view the deleted scenes and have yet to have said memory fade in the slightest. I have read Beauty by Robin McKinley, Beast by Donna Jo Napoli, and hope to accumulate as many versions in between for my personal library as I possibly can. I saved cake toppers of Belle and the Beast for 7 years in order to have them placed upon my 21st birthday cake. One of my ultimate goals is to watch the Broadway show with my beloved. I am beyond frustrated that every time I visit Disneyland it is impossible to find a t-shirt attributed to this magnificent film. I search for discontinued and bootlegged foreign versions of this story throughout youtube and amazon. I wish to have my first dance in a ball room or a castle. Or both.
6. BJDs- Wipe that look off your face. Doll collecting is one of the hugest and oldest hobbies around the world. I just happen to collect those of the ball-jointed variety. The second cousin twice-removed of the messed up family of role-playing and writing, my love ball-jointed dolls reflects my ever needless desire to not only pet and torture my beloved creations upon the paper, but in a 3D form as well. Entirely customizable from the simple changing of the eyes and wigs to getting down and dirty and reenacting my favorite scenes of Nip/Tuck by taking a blade to reshape their little resin noses, I collect these dolls to become the physical representation of the characters I so adore writing about.

And before I lead you all in the folly that my enjoyment from said dolls is due entirely to selfish aspects of collecting only for myself (after all, it is possible to be awesome such as myself yet still remain humble, why else would I allow my innermost thoughts such as this available to the public? You’re welcome), I should also point out that by immersing myself within the hobby I have met one of my very best friends. Every few months or so my dad or older sister will go to a doll show with me and those few hours spent together aren’t something I would every trade.
7. Cows- Have you remembered how awesome cows are?
8. Sewing- I abhor sewing. I have attempted to acquire this skill since grade school when my grandmother was the teacher for the local 4-H group and I thought it to be the perfect opportunity to dive in. Little did I know then my efforts at learning to do anything more than sewing a line that didn’t resemble that of a drunks path down a tightrope would result in many a high school year stabbing myself with needles and garnering myself with just enough skill to become the go-to girl within the family to fix split seams and apply patches yet unfortunately very little else in the world of creating actual fashion.

However, I continue to make my fingers bleed for although every new attempt usually ends in a tear fest complete with various notions thrown against the wall, I am forever drawn back into the amazing amount of skill and craftsmanship that is put into this gorgeous craft. I will never cease to filled with a balancing act of awe and envy at the inspiring creations certain individuals are able to create, and it is that lofty dream that I will likely continue to chase down until a crippling arthritis forces me into the realization that I have absolutely zero knack for this profession whatsoever. Until then, I keep my Teenage Mutant Nina Turtle band-aids nearby.
9. Music- One of my greatest pet peeves is when people ask me what type of music I listen to. I know it’s supposed to be the ‘universal question of all conversation starters’ or whatever, but in all honesty I could likely count the number of artists and bands I not only know the existence of but would possibly place upon the pedestal as being one of my favorites with one hand tied behind my back. I don’t pretend to be immune to all elements of pop and underground culture that have managed to infect my plugged in mind and will admit to having my preferences, but when it comes right down to it, I listen to just about anything that pops up on my Shuffle so long as it gets me in the right mood for whatever scene in my current story I am attempting to scratch out.
10. Fairytales- I am not simply referring to the Barbie-pink Disney cartoon fairytales either (not that I’m dissing those mind you, although I do refer more of a subdued pink than that likened by Miss Barbie, most often referred to as that of salmon which would utterly turn me away due to reminding me of a particularly nasty breed of fish if it wasn‘t such a damn beautiful shade). Rather, I am reaching out to every last ounce of romantic drama you could possibly strangle out from this single word, from the often disgusting and forgotten originals told my ye olde Brothers Grimm, to the glittery orgasmic dream of the high school prom queen, complete with tiaras, unicorns, castles in the sky and froo-froo ball gowns. Knights on white mares, kings on black stallions, while I have my preferance may they both always be around. I wore a tiara to my high school prom. I still want that pony. And my ultimate goal in life is to live happily ever after.

I have purposely stayed away from everyone's blogs this week so I was influenced by others writings and so I could approach this from a clear mind. That could probably be the main reason why i am posting this late.. SORRY!
1. My children. All three of them are products of a couple that truly wanted to be parents. After years of anorexia I was left with many infertility issues and the fact I have three beautiful and healthy children just reminds me over and over what my true purpose in this world is. No matter how hard things seem and how difficult life is, I just look into their eyes and see that I have made three souls that need me, love me, and have the same blood running through their veins. It is so hard to share joint custody with my ex as I miss them so badly when they aren't here.
2. My love. Took me 40 years to find him, but now that I have him I have found my peace, happiness, and forever. We are complete opposites yet we match perfectly. I spent a lifetime trying to find someone to "complete" me when I should have been looking for someone to add to me as I am complete in myself already.
3. My faith. I grew up in a very stern Christian home. I have always been in a relationship with the Lord...just have been astray countless times, yet when things were my worse, my faith never waivered and here I am. I believe.
4. My house. Ahh my dream home. My ex and I purchased in over 6 years ago. It was too big and too high of ceilings and just not my exes dream home or what he envisioned. The puppy dog eyes prevailed though and we bought it and it is now where the kids and I are living. I love it. It is 4 bedrooms/2 full baths. LR, Family Room, Laundry Room and Kitchen. Just beautiful.
5. Internet. Since 1999 and I was hooked up to world wide web....it has been wonderful. Most of my closest friends I have met online. My love and I met online.
6. My van. It was bought for me brand new in 2005 and is almost paid off. Many memories made and many happy kids and Mom moments as I have played soccer Mom with them. I love having a reliable vehicle. :)
7. Postcards. I have been collecting postcards for years. LOVE them. I love them mailed from wherever and written and drawn all over. I have thousands and someday I will have them in a huge display case..:)
8. My furniture. Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! I love my home furnishings. My pictures, shelves, furniture, decorations all of it. I have worked very hard to decorate my home beautiful and it is a reflection of me.
9. My body pillow(s). All three. I place them strategically around me at bedtime and I am so cozy and happy.
10. My friends. I absolutely adore my friends. I really don't have family with the exception of my children and my friends have been there through thick and thin. They are the best!

Jamie - 10 Things I Love
10 things I love huh? This is gonna be harder then I thought! What if I can't think of 10 things?! Then this whole blog is moot! Oh well, I shall give it a try!! And its not really in any order... Even though I will try to make it in some sort of one.
1. My Boyfriend <3 - What can I say? He's just amazing. He's my best friend and I love him with all my heart and soul :3
2. My Family - Even though my family situation is rather complicated and not the greatest they are still family and I love them <3
3. My Friends - As of right now, I only have like 3 people I consider my close friends (excluding boyfriend hehe) and they are Kyla, my bestie from school, Sarah - My online best friend, and Tiffinnie, a fellow blogger on here :3
4. My Computer - I have a unhealthy addiction to this thing. Yup. Keeps me in touch with my friends and family and gives me something to do because of my insomnia.
5. Books - I LOVE TO READ. 'nuff said.
6. Video Games - I admit I am a geek/nerd hybrid. While I don't play video games that much I do love them. You will mostly find me playing MMORPG's. Not a huge fan of console games at the moment unless you count Pokemon ^^
7. Anime and Manga - While yes, they are two different things, they are closely associated so I count them as one thing. At one point in time i used to be OBSESSED with it but now it's just something I enjoy here and there.
8. Music - Music gets me through stuff. 'nuff said
9. Art - I enjoy Art in all it's forms. I used to want to be a photographer at one point but yeah... things change.
10. Astrology - This is one of my obsessions that will probably never fade. It's just too interesting.
..so there you have it. 10 things I love. Oh btw, today is my BFF Kyla's 19th birthday.

Tiffinnie - All ten.
All ten things that I love? Are you serious? I don't know if I have ten... maybe I have more... maybe they are so out of order that it might look like a squirrel!! Uhm... ok scratch that last part. I don't think I can make the order look like a squirrel... but if anyone else can make the order look like a squirrel I highly suggest doing that because that would be epic. AND THEN tell me so I can make all of my awesome lists look like squirrels!! I might even get so advanced that I make them look like squirrels chasing eachother!!
Please keep in mind that these are not in a specific order and just because I saw everyone put their friends and families closer to the top, I am determined to place those two things elsewhere on my list!
Thing one : Youtube. No really, this is serious. I rely on youtube for 70% of my entertainment and sanity... I used to vlog (big mistake, I should stick to blogging because I was horrible and sounded full of myself and weird and scripted and conceited and ugh!! in my vlogs, hence the blogging addiction)
Thing two : blogging... shut up, I know this is an addiction. I have completed the first step by admitting I have a problem. and if you click here and here and here you will see the results of my addiction to blogging!! Judge me not!
Thing three : Tigger. I have this huge theory thing about all of the Winnie The Pooh characters which I shall share with you another time... but this explains my adoration (ok, no it doesn't, it just makes me sound insane and like I have waaaay too much time on my hands, which I do...) for Tigger. I collect Tigger, and I will one day get up the balls enough to have a tattoo of Tigger and my nickname from when I was in school was Tigger (although not many people call me it anymore, its ok though because I like that only some people still do it. It makes me smile... and if everyone did it I wouldn't find it so smile-worthy.)
Thing four : here it is, my family. Mainly my baby brother. He was born May 22nd at 8:39pm and I got to watch the entire thing... lucky for me it wasn't a vaginal birth cuz I don't think my poor brain could have handled that. Anyways... Yep here he is. His name is Bradyn-James but we all just call him Bradyn, which was picked out by me. I wanted to name him Brady (yes, I grew up watching Days of Our Lives with my mother and figured it was perfect because Brady was perfect and mhm that is all.) however, my mom said she didn't think we should do that because then he would get teased for the whole "Brady Bunch" ordeal and it would be alright if we just added 'n' to the end of it and keep the Brady like I wanted but to avoid the whole teasing thing.

Cute, ain't he?!
Thing... *checks what number* five : My boyfriend. Yea, he made it to the top 5... purely because of this part of the current conversation...
Tiff says:
noooo what are my 10 favorite things?! 10 things I love... damn it I'm only on number 5
Athila says:
me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, your brother.
lol. I love him <3
Thing six : My friends? noooo I can't say that one yet, cuz then I will have bunched them all together and that would be against what I actually wanted to do!! Therefore this one shall be dedicated to Photography.
Thing seven : This one is also dedicated to Photography. (<-- that is a lie, this one is dedicated to DeviantArt.com)
Thing eight : My computer. Do not judge, ask anyone that knows me, I do not leave home without it because if there is a wifi connection spot I am on it!! Always talking to the lover, always editing the photos, always doing something on my computer!! ALWAYS!
Thing nine : My cat. He is white and orange and super fluffy and he is "bunny soft". His name is Zeus. Yes, I have a picture to show you.
He is much bigger now.
Thing ten : Last but definitely not at all under any circumstances least at all yea you get the point uh huh moving on... MY FRIENDS. I have them. They are mine. I will share. Zaida, I've known since I was 11 years old, Stacy I met when I was 16, Shannon I met when I was 17 (still have yet to meet her in person but we bonded via vlogs about Twilight, yes, the book series, well before it was a movie franchise!) aaaannnndddd Sabrina (yes, the one that posts the blogs on Monday, she is here in my friends list thing too cuz I love her freaking face.) and Jamie (ok... also part of the blogging group! I adore her, she is so damn cute and literally probably the only person who can sit through an entire thought stream* of mine and not question any of it.)
Ok... so thats it? Thats all? Ugh. Here I'll leave you with an awesome quote I found while being an internet addict and browsing aimlessly around this site
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.

Krista - Ten things
Sorry guys - this is a little late due to some technical difficulties...
#1: My son, and then by extension my family...every last one of them. My son makes every day another reason for living...seeing him grow teaches me more about being an adult than anything else.
#2: Geoff, obviously. I wrote a long blog about him on my other blog so I won't re-hash, just simply state that he is my true other half, in ways I never thought possible. No other relationship I've ever had can compare to this one. Even when I am upset over the distance, I always remind myself that he's the best man in the world for me, and I think Dolly Parton said this "If you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain".
#3: The law. I love every aspect of our legal system. It fascinates me to see how our laws come to be created, whether it's out of religious beliefs, such as the old blue laws, or out of things that really happen in life, such as the Polly Klaus kidnapping case and the way legislature changed. I know some people think certain laws are silly, and I agree, but the history behind them interest me.
#4: My best friends...both of them, who I love and adore just like they are family. Each one fills a need in my life and I can never appreciate them enough.
#5: My house. Is it my dream house? No, but it represents my dream of independence from unhappiness. It's stressful being a homeowner but everyday I get to come home to my little piece of the world.
#6: Strawberries. I could eat these all day long. Best food ever. I even have one tattooed on my ankle!
#7: Books. I have always been a reader. I have three bookshelves in my house currently, all stuffed. And I have more than I never brought over from my grandparent's house when I moved. Plus a stash at my desk at work. And some by my bed. And a bag in the trunk of my car. I think you get the idea here...
#8: Music. I am a self-confessed former high school choir nerd. I loved to sing when I was younger and don't really as much as I'd like to now. But I have horrible stage fright so I don't like to sing where others can hear me, unless I'm a bit on the drunk side and you can pull me up for some karaoke! I have a wide range of music. I don't love every kind, but I love music that has a good vibe and lyrics that touch me. Hence why I have both Garth Brooks and Nas in my music collection.
#9: The beach. I can't even describe how I feel when I am there. It's the most peaceful thing in my life even if I burn like a mother while there, thanks to Irish ancestry.
#10. My life. And I don't say this easily. There were some terribly difficult years in which I felt like I would never be happy again. I made some mistakes and bad decisions which caused me to go a bit off what I thought was my plan, but it turns out these were all necessary twists and turns to get me where I am today. So, for the last year, I can honestly say how much I love my life. Sure, I could want more things and there is always room for improvement, but I have a great kid, a big family, the love of my life and independence...how can I not love all of that?
#1: My son, and then by extension my family...every last one of them. My son makes every day another reason for living...seeing him grow teaches me more about being an adult than anything else.

Heather- 10 things I love.
I went to my ex's funeral today, so forgive me if I'm a little depressing or even more random.
Here's the 10 things I need to be happy, in no particular order.
1) My family. They keep me sane when I need it the most, even though most of the time, they're the ones making me crazy. My mom is my best friend. We've had our ups and downs, but our relationship is better now than it's ever been. I recently found out that she know how I use music to express myself, rather than talking about stuff. My nephews are my world. And, even though the kicked my ass when we were younger, I know I can count on my brothers whenever I need them.
2) My friends. I'd be completely lost without them. They hold me on the rare occasions when I cry. They never judge me, even when I screw up pretty badly. They put up with all my bs. I don't quite have the words to explain what they mean to me. But I know I'd be a complete fucking wreck without them.
3) My dog and cat. I've had my chihuahua, Lilly, for about 9 years now. She cuddles with me every chance she gets, and likes to steal my pillow when I leave the room. She's getting old, but she's always playful and seems so happy to see me. It's nice to feel adored, even if it's by a dog. :] And my cat, Ike, is like my child. He's SOOO spoiled. When I make salmon, he gets some, he occasionally drinks from a glass, and picks up food with his paws. He's really tuned in to my moods, so when I'm upset, he'll let me cuddle with him till I feel better.
4) Music. If I had to choose between being deaf or blind, I'd go blind. Music is everything to me. I associate songs with people, so I feel like I always have a part of them with me when I have my ipod. And that thing is always with me. For me, music makes things hurt less.
5) The boyfriend. We haven't known each other forever. We've been togeth
er for a little over 5 months, but in that time, he's made the effort to learn more about me than people I've known for years. I've always had bad trust issues and my self-esteem kinda sucks, but he works with me. And I finally got to the point where I believe him when he tells me I'm beautiful. I still won't use that as a word to describe myself, but I honestly believe that HE believes it. Does that make sense? I'm a very passionate person, so I do everything whole-heartedly, even getting mad. He puts up with all that, and when we have disagreements, he talks to me about it. That's totally new to me, because every guy I've ever dated usually just flipped out. But then again, he picked me, so that's probably why we work so well. :) [inside joke.] I'm gonna stop writing about him for now, because I'll go on forever. Lol.
6) Makeup. No, I don't think I "need" it, but I sure as hell love it. :) I don't understand the concept of "natural makeup." I think it's an oxymoron. (Is that the right word?) If I'm gonna take the time to put it on, and spend the money on it, I want it to be FUN. I love bright colors and I experiment all the time.
7) Football. Oh yeahhh. I'm a die-hard Cowboys fan. I don't care what their record is, or whether we're goin to the Superbowl or not (ok, I lied, I do.) because regardless of how they do, they're my team. And I'd look really dumb if I was talking trash and someone saw the star on the back of my neck. (Yeah, so die-hard that my first tattoo was the Cowboys star on the back of my neck.) I live for football season and I'm totally lost without it. I even have a game-day outfit. Blue jeans, white undies, white bra, white tank top, Marion Barber jersey, one blue and one white sock, and white tennis shoes. And during football season, my braces are always blue and silver. Oh, and I was a Cowboys cheerleader for Halloween. I honestly can't tell you how, why, or when the Cowboys became my team. I guess I just have good blood like that. :)
8) Givesmehope.com. A friend posted a link to this site on Faceb
ook and I've been addicted ever since. I've lost a lot of faith in humanity, but the people at this one, love.givesmehope.com, and kidsgivemehope.com are definitely changing that, one story at a time.
9) MTV and VH1. I honestly love their reality shows. That's another addiction. :]
10) Books. I love to read. And I read pretty quickly, so the problem is that I finish books too fast. I don't have a problem reading something more than once, either. I like to see how things fit together once I know how it ends. I don't know, it's probably weird, but that's just me. :)
So those are my 10 things. I hope you enjoyed them!
Rest In Peace, Seth Silas Young. I love you, kid. <3

Sabrina-10 Loves of My Life
Well Topic this week is..
10 THINGS I LOVE!
As easy as this sounds, it is actually hard to write ONLY ten things and to pick the ten I love most.
This list is in no particular order..
I have a lot more than ten things I love, but these seemed most important and came to mind first.
10 THINGS I LOVE!
As easy as this sounds, it is actually hard to write ONLY ten things and to pick the ten I love most.
This list is in no particular order..
- FAMILY: I absolutely LOVE them! I think family is very important. They are what makes you mostly the person you are today. They give you life and help you grow. I have the greatest respect for them, Mainly my father. My dad is who I love to make proud of me. He is the one I look to for the greatest advice in life. If I could be like anyone it would definitely be him; He is my hero. He is very successful and strives to meet his every goal in life. By far the hardest worker I know.
- The BOYFRIEND: Kyle. The love of my life. My other half and believed to be soul mate. Without him I don't know what I'd do. He is what I look forward to spending my life with. He knows me so well and at times it's scary how well. Been with this man for 3 years and looking forward to the many years to come.
- ANIMALS/PETS: At this point, I only own one cat. Considering I live with my dad, I'm very lucky to have a pet. His name is Socks. I named him so because he is an all black cat with white paws that make it look like he has socks on. He absolutely loves attention, although he is picky on who gives it to him. He never wanted anyone to touch him and wouldn't come near anyone but me. But, these days he has gotten a lot better with letting strangers touch him, only if I'm right there. He is still picky on who he lets pet him though. He is the biggest drooler I know! Also, he often meows like crazy. I am a total dog lover at heart and will be getting a dog as soon as I can!
- FRIENDS: I absolutely LOVE my friends! I love everything about them! Even when they irritate or bug the shit out of me! Ha ha! I love how they are there for me like no other. They give the best and worst advice, and I do the same, even if I do think I give the greatest advice..ha ha. I have trust for them, and know that they will be there for me in my times of need, and I would do the same for them! They never judge me or talk shit behind my back. If I ask for their advice they are goin to be straight up and honest about it, even if it isn't nice what they have to say. I wouldn't ask if I didn't want the truth, and we all know that. They will tell me to my face and sugar coat things it if I need it to be sugar coated, and I would do the same. We can do the simplest things and have a great time. There is no need for money for us to have fun! We make everything fun! Best part is that they are all SO unique and are as crazy as I am!
- Work/Money: As much as I love work, its actually my love of money that keeps me going to work. I wouldn't work if I had an endless supply of money. That's for damn sure! The only reason I love money is because its needed to make a living. Without money I couldn't buy a car, house, school, gas, clothes, pet food, etc, you get my point. It makes life less stressful and that's a plus!
- OUTDOORS/FUN: I couldn't really limit this to just one thing because the list is sooo many! I enjoy anything that is outside. I like to camp, go to the river/lake, have BBQs, and more! The list is too many! I love to take advantage of summer, and even winter, any way I possibly can!
- VIDEOGAMES: I'm not exactly an addict, but I do love my videogames. Whether they be on XBOX 360, my labtop, playstation 2, etc, it doesn't matter! I enjoy it so much. The xbox 360's kinect is what I'm after next! That thing is SO cool I got to have one! There are all type of videogames that even my friends and I could play! We play LIPS, which is a karaoke game, and also Mario Party which is awesome with a group of friends! By myself or with people it doesn't matter, they are fun in any situation!
- PHOTOS: I'm a complete camera whore..and not in the way that I'm always obsessed taking pictures of myself, but in the way that I love having pictures of everyone in every fun thing we do! If I actually did that though I would have way too many pictures (which I probably have way too many anyway) ha ha. I love looking at other peoples photos and I enjoy looking back on my own as well. Pictures last more than a lifetime, and I think they are important to have throughout the years. It's always wonderful to look back on when you were a child or even a few years from your age now. I LOVE that feeling. I was into scrapbooking for a long time, but I've been slacking these past few months. I need to get back into it because I love being creative and having an easy access book to look at all the pictures I love.
- LAUGHING/HAPPINESS: I love to laugh! Laughing and happiness is a much needed thing in everyone. Even in my shittiest moments I put a smile on my face and focus on the good things in my day/moment. I hate depressed people. I don't like when people are always moody and sad. It's ok to be like that every once and a while, but after awhile it gets old. It often rubs off on other people and I don't like that. No one has a reason to think their life is shitty 24/7, and even if it almost is, then change it! You are the one with the key to your emotions. You make yourself happy, sad, mad, etc. When I'm bored I look up comedians on youtube and laugh my ass off! One day I'd like to go see a few in person because I know it'll be even funnier live then on the computer! Just thinking about this is making me laugh. I looked up Louis CK yesterday. He's funny! You should check him out.
- AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...SPORTS: I love all kinds of sports! Softball was a big thing for me growing up. I played it for 8 years and miss it badly. The most recent sport I was in was women's tackle football. I played on the a team called Sacramento Sirens. They are SO awesome. Sadly I didn't have the money to stay on the team, so I left. I can't play this season either because of money, but by next season I want to be on the team again. I love watching football as well. The Redskins are my team! Within this next year I need to get back into sports. I haven't done anytype of sport in the last year and miss it all badly. Even if it's recreational I'll do it. Hopefully I can get a few friends to play too and that will be the cherry on top! I don't know what sport I'm going to play, but I'm sure when I get into something you'll here about it and probably see pictures! Two things I love in one!
I have a lot more than ten things I love, but these seemed most important and came to mind first.

Rebeccah - Your weekly dosage of vitamin D
Ladies and gentlemen,
Now that you have read this far, I suppose it is only fair to present to you what you have surely been waiting for. That is to say, me. First thing you should know about me? I’m not as full of myself as I like everyone to think I am.
I am no different than the other 90% of Generation Y in admitting to spending more time than is probably healthy on my laptop and hooked up to the wonderful creation known as the world wide web. It is how I connect to my friends who have all moved away since our graduation in ’07 to various parts of the country to attend a higher education, how I immerse myself into the communities and seek out new friendships within my handful of hobbies I obsess myself with, and of course, it is how I not only keep in contact with but met my adorable boyfriend over a year and 4 months ago. But more on him later.
In just one week I shall be moving to a small little town located right in the belly-button of California. This is so I too can finally take that big girl step into the world of adulthood along with the rest of my peers and finish my last two years of school. Even so, I have chosen to take the pack of floundering for as long as humanly possible for while I finish up the very last of my upper division classes I shall be using that time to make the nail biting decision as to what my major shall be. After 3 years of pointlessly chasing the dream of someday possessing an Art Degree, reality has finally caught up to me and forced me into uncomfortable position of facing the truth in that a career in English may well be better suited for me. But what do I really know about that anyway.
When I’m not working as a minion in the underbelly of the of the economic world otherwise known as retail, I spend a majority of my time alone. I don’t particularly mind this as a whole for a large number of my passions are better suited for a single participant to begin with. I write novels and short stories that I don’t share to anyone, I draw and attempt to color pictures that are presented to only a handful more than that. I collect large and expensive resin dolls from Korea that I customize to represent the characters written and drawn about in said stories and pictures. I spend more time than I care to admit creating extensive shopping lists that I am ever so slowly working my way through to update my wardrobe into a representation of all that is pretty and wannabe “Victorian” that in the fashion world is known as Lolita. I prefer long walks down a trail by my house I have dubbed as Cougar Path to be taken alone, accompanied only by one of my three freakishly adorable Chihuahuas or a small child I can push at my leisure in a stroller who is more interested in cheerios that striking up conversation and pulling me away from my thoughts and music.
And when I do at last feel the need for some human interaction I once again am able to turn to my trusty laptop in which I am constantly plugged into anyway (and thus never really alone thanks to ye olde boyfriend mentioned previously). Then at last am I able to partake in my greatest hobby of all-role playing. Blame it on my older sister who was simply trying to urge me to explore that tired and true virtual world we all know and have once loved known as Neopets so many years ago, when she told me the role playing subforum might be something of interest to me. I’m sure she came to regret that very deeply when soon I was on her computer more than she was.
Cows. They are an amazing animal with not nearly enough credit given to them. We should all pause for a moment today and realize just how awesome these creatures really are. That is all.
With all my hobbies and amusements combined I have the lofty ambition of someday writing a best-selling novel about my beloved characters whom I role play at any given moment of the day, complete with an index showcasing each and every character in both his resin dolly form and my own illustrations; each copy of said book hand signed by me before being sent out from my personal office in my small but quaint and beautiful home where I live in happiness with the love of my life who treats me as the princess I have taught myself how to dress up as. I also aspire to write less run-on sentences.
My favorite film is a lesser known title known as The Other Sister. I can hear any line from this movie or any snippet of music and know exactly where it’s at and what the next line is going to be. I have never once grown tired of seeing it day after day. My favorite animated film is Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and it’s probably something I share just as much as I do as the awesomeness of cows (have you taken your moment to appreciate them yet?). I find the truth behind Belle’s lesson of learning to look within each and every individual to find the real beauty to be absolutely striking. She is beautiful herself yet, except for only a single scene within the film, she is dressed very humble. She reads, cares for intelligence and substance and above all else, has a temper almost as amusingly bad as the beast she attempts to calm.
In spite of everything presented and my own love of ruffles, pink and lace, I hope to someday have a steam punk themed wedding complete with red and black roses and music played from a record. My ultimate favorite color is black. My tiny lap dogs can chase away any animal 5 times their size. If I could incorporate skulls into my wardrobe without it either looking trashy or that I’m borrowing something off a 12 year old, I would. I like the stereotypical gothy-girl style. I just like class more.
I am no different than the other 90% of Generation Y in admitting to spending more time than is probably healthy on my laptop and hooked up to the wonderful creation known as the world wide web. It is how I connect to my friends who have all moved away since our graduation in ’07 to various parts of the country to attend a higher education, how I immerse myself into the communities and seek out new friendships within my handful of hobbies I obsess myself with, and of course, it is how I not only keep in contact with but met my adorable boyfriend over a year and 4 months ago. But more on him later.
In just one week I shall be moving to a small little town located right in the belly-button of California. This is so I too can finally take that big girl step into the world of adulthood along with the rest of my peers and finish my last two years of school. Even so, I have chosen to take the pack of floundering for as long as humanly possible for while I finish up the very last of my upper division classes I shall be using that time to make the nail biting decision as to what my major shall be. After 3 years of pointlessly chasing the dream of someday possessing an Art Degree, reality has finally caught up to me and forced me into uncomfortable position of facing the truth in that a career in English may well be better suited for me. But what do I really know about that anyway.
When I’m not working as a minion in the underbelly of the of the economic world otherwise known as retail, I spend a majority of my time alone. I don’t particularly mind this as a whole for a large number of my passions are better suited for a single participant to begin with. I write novels and short stories that I don’t share to anyone, I draw and attempt to color pictures that are presented to only a handful more than that. I collect large and expensive resin dolls from Korea that I customize to represent the characters written and drawn about in said stories and pictures. I spend more time than I care to admit creating extensive shopping lists that I am ever so slowly working my way through to update my wardrobe into a representation of all that is pretty and wannabe “Victorian” that in the fashion world is known as Lolita. I prefer long walks down a trail by my house I have dubbed as Cougar Path to be taken alone, accompanied only by one of my three freakishly adorable Chihuahuas or a small child I can push at my leisure in a stroller who is more interested in cheerios that striking up conversation and pulling me away from my thoughts and music.

Luce-what lies beneath the smile..
Hi everyone! I am so excited that it is finally Saturday and it is MY turn to share. Not that I like to talk about me, but I do like to write. Writing for me has been a passion since I was first able to pick up a crayon. Finding someone to read was a different story, so many of my early creativity sits in a metal fireproof box in my house, tucked away, saved for a rainy day that I will eventually pull them out and read.
Who am I? Hmmm. Krista probably said it best....I could be considered the Mama of the group. I am the oldest. 41. NOW...before you go shaking your head...I don't LOOK 41 and I certainly don't act like I am 41. I consider myself young. I went through a rocky seperation of a 16 year relationship when I was 39, so when I turned 40...it was the NEW ME time. I feel like life has truly just begun.
I wear many hats. I am a Mother first and foremost. I have the most amazing three children. I have a son who is 13 and two daughters that are 11 and 6. Becoming a Mother was definitely the best thing that has ever happened to me and defined who I was as a person and what my *role* was here on earth. I love my children with all that I am. They grew beneath my heart and I brought them to life. I can't think of anything greater I could have done.
I love with all my being. That is a huge character flaw in me. Flaw? Yes. Because there is no half way with me and that has led to many failed relationships and many heartaches. Loving fully and completely is a hard concept for some people to understand. But when I get hurt, the claws come out and watch out. I burn the bridge and there is no going back. I am done. This includes family, friends, and lovers. It's my guard and the walls surround me.
I sound cold. And to some I probably am. But it is a defense mechanism I learned a long time ago, I don't let many people *in*....I could love you with all my being,,,doesn't mean you are *in.*
I collect postcards and thimbles. I have a huge collection of both and absolutely love collecting them. In the corner of my dining room I have a beautiful curio cabinet filled with all sorts of treasures. Little things given to me by friends and family. Some days when I am sad I will just glance at the cabinet and know the trinkets are there and I feel not so alone.
I graduated with my Bachelors in English. I dreampt all my life of being a teacher and making a difference. When children came along, I decided to put my career on hold and stay home with them and I have never ever regretted that decision.
I waitress for a chain restaurant. I have worked at this place for 12 years. I love my job most of the time and enjoy what I do.
I love the 80's. Any cheesy Big Hair band from that era and I miss my BIG bangs...ooh do I ever. A can of Aqua net and I was set for hours...Add to that my pink frosted lipstick...oooh yeah!
Wondering what I look like overall? Well I am tall. Very tall. 5 foot 10 to be exact. I have always felt like the odd one out. Years of anorexia and ocd and here I am...still battling my weight and striving to find out who is behind the smile that everyone always compliments. I am a big girl, but currently on a new eating plan and already have lost about 12 pounds and slowly but surely going to do it this time, to be healthy for ME!
I love all sorts of music. There isn't one category that I love more than another. My stereo in my car has the vast amount of stations saved ranging from easy listening to country to hard rock. Music is what I escape to when I need a break.
I am engaged to a man that lives 365.8 miles away. He is the man that I have been looking for all my life but had to go through many lessons and situations to find and now it is OUR time. He adds so much to my life and I am so happily in love with him.
Well folks..that's a little bit of who "Luce" is...welcome to my world...:)

Ok... This first week is obviously going to be different than following weeks.

Krista - Everything you never wanted to know...
Hey everyone! It's my turn!!!
So, I am Krista, or sometimes known as blankita719. Before Luce joined us, I would have probably worn the "Mama" title of this lovely blog group, but since she's here too, I'll claim the cool Aunt title :)
I'm 32 years old, which makes me infinitely old enough to know better, but still young enough to pull off some of my shenanigans. I wear many hats in my life...I'm a mom to the sweetest little boy ever, who is my entire world. I'm the oldest of 6 (1 full sister, 1 step-sister, 2 half-sisters and 1 half-brother), thanks to my parents divorce and my father's subsequent remarriage. I'm a long distance lovah to a great man and I'm a friend to some pretty amazing people.
I work as a legal assistant, which means I'm really a babysitter for attorneys. I work in a field of law that no one has ever heard of, but it's interesting nonetheless. I've been a working legal assistant since 2002, prior to that I was in school trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life.
I'm a complete bookworm - two of my favorite days of the year are when my local library does their annual book sale and I can stock up on all kinds of goodies. I read lots of different kinds of fiction, but my favorites tend to have a legal slant (hence why I work in the legal field). I no longer read romance novels though, I feel like they are the same story over and over and they bore me.
I have a pretty eclectic music collection, and I love all sorts of music. I;m not a huge fan of country but I have some artists that I like and will listen to. My favorite singer is Sarah McLachlan and my favorite band is currently The Avett Brothers (Don't know them? Check them out - they're an alt-blue grass band which may sound weird but they are freaking awesome). I love to get down to some spanish music and shake my hips too! If I had to pick a favorite genre, I'd go 90's alternative, mostly because that's what I listened to in high school and it just makes me happy.
I live near the beach, which I love. It's one of my favorite places to go in the world. I'm also fairly close to a bunch of theme parks, Sea World, Disney and Universal Studios. My favorite is Sea World, my son and I have annual passes and go as often as we can get away. It's also convenient to live here in Florida since I hate super cold weather, however not so convenient to be in love with some one who lives in New England.
I have a great appreciation for John Hughes films and Kevin Smith films. Some of my favorite movies include The Breakfast Club, Heathers, Chasing Amy, Dogma, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Beauty and the Beast and Say Anything. I have a weird celebrity crush on John Cusack, so I'll watch pretty much anything he does too.
All of my favorite tv shows are gone now...I was a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alias, and Lost. Now I rarely watch current tv, and just use my Netflix to load me up on stuff to watch. Although, How I Met Your Mother is a really cute show that I do try and stay current on.
I carry my camera with me most of the time, because I like to take random pictures of my life, but I make no claims that they are excellent shots. I don't have the patience to take really good pictures. My son likes to cheese for the camera, so I've got tons of pictures of him. And the dog. We have an italian greyhound named Rico, who is very sweet but drives me a little insane some days. I bought my house just under a year ago after I gave up the fantasy of finding Prince Charming to come and sweep me away...and then he showed up, but that's a story for another day.
And I am sure that's more than enough to tell you about me...looking forward to writing with all of you!

Heather- Get to know me. :]
Sooo, I'm heather. :D
I'll be 21 this year in september. go me! I have the attention span of a goldfish in a bowl of red bull, so forgive me if i change topics without warning or kind of ramble on. :] I'm a Texas girl, and so proud of my state that I have it tattooed on me. I have two other tattoos, the Cowboys star on the back of my neck, and "Love. Honor. Truth." on my right hip. I have 6 piercings but i HATEEE needles. Kinda weird, i know.
I've had braces for 5 freakin years at the end of May this year. :/ Not cool. Hazel eyes, brown hair with these ridiculous blonde highlights that come and go when they choose. 5'3", and, to everyone, i'm considered petite. But in my eyes, I'm 8'4" and bulletproof. When i get a little alcohol in me, i'm 12'8" and missile-proof. I have 3 older half-brothers, a younger half-brother, and a cousin that my mom adopted. I'm the only girl, so when i was little, i got my ass kicked A LOT. And i had my fingers slammed in lots of different things. lol. I have a stepsister, but she doesn't count and my stepmom pretty much hates me.
Today is my 5 month anniversary with my sailor, which is a huge deal for me because this is the longest i've been in a relationship. I have terrible luck with guys, but i'm definitely keeping this one for as long as i can. :]
I LOVE: my boyfriend, disney movies, Glee, crocheting, pretty much anything arts-and-crafty, sweet tea, my cell phone, music, reading, Cosmopolitan magazine, my cat, bright makeup, dying and cutting my own hair, football, eating, muscle shirts, basketball shorts, dancing, old people, animals, blue pens, getting love letters, salmon, Harry Potter, Marion Barber, the Dallas Cowboys, Say Yes to the Dress, Taco Bell, Lucky You cologne, and a wholeee bunch of other stuff. :]
I have really weird OCDs, such as not being able to split anything [poles, signs, fences, people] and i can NOT get my ears wet. It totally kills me. Also, if i accidentally get my hand or something wet, it drives me nuts.
I went to a big university with a major in English, but decided it wasn't for me because i knew i wouldn't be happy. So for now, i'm going to go to school for dental assissting.
I'm ridiculously open-minded. So much so, that you could call me a hippy. :] I hate politics with a burning passion because they just irritate the hell out of me. I'm very religious, but i don't go to church because i don
't feel like i need someone else to communicate for me. I cuss like a sailor and i hardly ever act like a lady, but i love doing my makeup and hair, and wearing dresses. My mother is my best friend in the world.
Anyhoodles, if you wanna know anything else, don't be scared to ask. :]

Sabrina-Second the Best!
Where to start...
How does one go about describing themselves without sounding cocky or going overboard with it?..hum..
For starters..my name is Sabrina. I recently turned 21 years old! Unlike a lot of people that turn just 21, I don't drink. I've drank to get tipsy twice in my life (when I was 18) and don't have any real want or reason to do it again. But who knows, things change.
I'm 5'9" with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. I am definitely thick. My main nicknames are: Sabooty, Saboo-boo, Bri, Sapickle, and Pickle. I received the nickname Sabooty from my boyfriend when we first go together because I have a very big and bubbly butt. ha ha..I'm not sure how else to describe the nickname. Sapickle is a family nickname I got when I was younger for my absolute LOVE of pickles!
In about a week it will be my boyfriends and my 3 year anniversary! This is the longest relationship I've been in and I have the greatest feeling about it. I'm almost a hundred percent positive that we are each others soul mates. To find something like this so early is wondrous! But I'll get carried away with this subject, and so, onto a new..
...I hope to go to school in August and finally be done with the schooling that I've constantly gone on and off with for the past two years. I can't seem to stick with it. I originally started school hoping to be a Dental hygienist, but after realizing that I have to do general education, I've decided to go to school to become a Dental Assistant first. This will give me the chance to get into the dental track, see how I like it, and start making some better money! My long term goal is to still be a Dental Hygienist, but that will be a few years down the road still.
Currently I work as a Security Guard. I'm honestly so happy to have a job right now, especially since most of my friends don't have jobs and are finding it difficult to find one. Thank goodness!
Being open-minded and outgoing describe me well. I love trying new things and I absolutely love going out and doing things. If I had a ton of money I would definitely travel and always be out and about!
I have a very small family. My dads side consists of; my dad, his mom (my grandma), and my little (or I should definitely say younger) brother. I have a step-mom with a pretty big family, so they make up for our lack of. On my mom's side; my mom, my grandma, my half-sister, my two cousins, and my aunt. But I don't socialize with my mom or that side of the family much or at all, sadly. The reasons are too long of a story and will probably be shared another day.
Enough about me already!!? Any questions?..Ask!
Here's a few pictures of myself so you can stop wondering what I may look like! I don't have a body shot since I don't have my pictures with me but..I'll add in one later!

Tiffinnie - Ice breaker!
Why are introductions the hardest part for everyone? Since I kinda grouped everyone together and said "HEY GUYS LETS DO THIS!!" then I'll be the ice breaker in the blogging world... world?
Alright ladies, this here blog is a world... (now go back and read that like a cowboy) lmao!
Ok. So I'm going to be 21 years old on Friday! That should cover my age... I'm 5'8" with I have no idea what hair color, dark green eyes that are technically hazel, and I'm a "plus size" woman and I still act like a little kid about tons of things.
I still collect Tigger
I still sing Disney songs
I don't have a job
I'm waiting to have a pretty epic surgery (having a benign tumor removed from below the back of my head, right between my shoulders, on my neck... they think its wrapped around my spine but they won't know until they get in there to remove it! WOO ANTICIPATION!)
and I went to 2 years of college to become a graphic designer and then dropped out... But as soon as the surgery happens and I heal up enough I'm going to jump right back into school... Not sure if I want to go back as a graphic design student or a photography student...
Oh yea... I'm a photographer! I have my own website, camera, portable studio, and editing skills!
Alright, well my hobbies include... breathing... and my computer! Ok, that last part isn't a hobby it is more like... an addiction... and the first one is kinda a requirement unless I want to turn various shades of pink purple red and blue in the face and then, ya know, die.
HOBBIES!!
Alright ladies, this here blog is a world... (now go back and read that like a cowboy) lmao!
Ok. So I'm going to be 21 years old on Friday! That should cover my age... I'm 5'8" with I have no idea what hair color, dark green eyes that are technically hazel, and I'm a "plus size" woman and I still act like a little kid about tons of things.
I still collect Tigger
I still sing Disney songs
I don't have a job

HOBBIES!!
- photography
- editing
- drawing
- writing
- hanging out with my lovely ladies
- is a baby a hobby? cuz I kinda want to label watching my 8 month old baby brother as a hobby...
- reading pointless stuff online
- blogging... more of an addiction to be completely honest...
- I usually label sleeping as a hobby, but then I realized that its a necessity and that I don't sleep as much as I should so why the hell would I put that?
- this bullet is just to keep you reading.
- and so is this one
- but this one, I will label another hobby... wait. Taco Bell isn't a hobby either.
- never mind...
So what else do you want to know about me? I'm scatter brained and I have no shame in it.
Oh yea!! I have a really hot boyfriend. Yep. We'll talk about him another day though, cuz this whole entry is about me. *sings* me me me me me!
Your body is a wonderlaaaaand....
So, in conclusion, I am Tiffinnie. Maybe I should have started off with that... oh well. Kept you going didn't I? If not, I DONT GIVE A F*CK!
By chance, if you wanted to know what I look like, here I am.
Schedule it up!

We should all be checking the FB group for updates on what the weekly blog topic is, and voting on little things...
