IT'S MY BURFDAY!!! :)

YAY!!! I'm 19 today, and super excited. I love all my Facebook notifications!!! :)

What's In Coco's Hair today?? A Birthday Hat! :)

Birthday Music! :)

FIRST VLOG!

So Joey and I were in Starbucks, and decided to create a vlog.  It's kinda long, and random... we'll get better as time goes on.  Enjoy! :)

I hope you love it! 

Stay Classy.

Doo Wop In A Bottle Can Work...

I haven't updated in a few days... I owe you some music, I've been trying to edit my first VLOG, which should be on here SOON!

Do You Realize...

It's been a real chill day, not too much to say.  Once again, it seems like everyone I know is in a relationship, or "Talking" to someone.  But it's whatever, I'm Fly Like Paper.  haha I don't know what I'm saying.  I've been awfully tired lately, but it's college, hey. :)  I've been watching some television and Facebook creeping... the usual.  It's totally burr outside.  My nose is froze, my toes is froze, and my kimono's froze.  (Speaking of VMK, there's no new episode!)  Gross.com/burrrrrrrinhurrrr. haha 

I'm super stoked about the 80's Rollerskating even for my birthday thing--it'll be so awesome. Duh.  Also, I really wanna do something cool for Spring Break, I never do anything for breaks.  Jeesh, I'm super lame.  

I'm starting to miss my friends who are away at college, but I see them from time to time.  My Business professor brought in Buskin cookies today, she's so sweet!  They were for my birthday!  Awwww :)  Tomorrow is Jon and Caitlin's birthday!  Wohoo.  Yay for birthdays!!  This blog is going to be very short.  I have a lot on my mind, that's nothing new... but I don't really feel like typing it out all right now. "Chase" needs to figure himself out, that'd be cool.  I'd really appreciate it if a boy would be straight up with me, and just say: "Hey, you're cute, and I like you".  Is that too hard?  I'm old fashioned, I guess, and I'm not going to say anything. Duh.  haha Sorry.  Oh well... we shall see what's up.  Anybody need a Valentine? haha Anyway, now that that's been awkward, which is nothing new, I think I'm gonna go...

Have a great day, and I'll write back soon! :)

Love and glitter

Song of the day: So cute.

Song of the day. Kickin it old school :)

What Is Love...

It's Monday: so, NeverShoutNever seems acceptable! :)

Mean Girls 2

Alrighty... so we all know that I and a million other teenage girls LOVE Mean Girls!!! We quote it on a daily basis, and often times change our middle names on Facebook to a Mean Girls reference... oops, maybe that's just me and Ashley! haha So, when I heard the news that there was going to be a Mean Girls 2, I got quite excited, and we even kinda met one of the writers for the script in Wisconsin, thank you Future Problem Solving Internationals! haha (a little shout out to Demi, Dane and Ryan!)  Well anyway, I'd seen the advertisements in TeenVogue, saw the commercials on TV, and now the time has come.  Mean Girls 2 aired on the Tele today-- and I've decided to give my thoughts. haha 

So, let me say, it wasn't a bad movie: it was funny, cute, had the nice little love interests, and lots of pink and drama.  With that said, I liked the movie, but... it wasn't quite up to par with the original.  But now, it's always hard to make a sequel.  This movie was like Mean Girls meets Disney Channel-- not a bad combo, but don't call it Mean Girls 2.  :( It's not as quotable, and the characters didn't seemed as developed.  Although I don't know if Gretchen Weiners, Regina George or Cady and Karen are really "developed". hhaha I do have to say, the dog in the new movie's name is Coco Chanel, so obviously I loved the little shout out to my name. haha :)  Overall, cute movie-- just no Mean Girls.

On another note, Andrew and I went to see No Strings Attached, and it was a good movie.  Pretty funny, and some pretty decent quotable moments.  I'd recommend seeing the movie, it's a cute little romantic comedy. :)  

Also, we had a lovely time at game night with TayTay, Sarah, Jamealleh, Matt, Franz, etc.  We played Pretty Pretty Princess, a couple rounds of homemade charades, and a mean round of Mad Gab.  Team Franz won every time, sorry Team Suck :(  We'll do better next time! With that being such a success, it motivated me to have a gathering... RECA Roller Rink! yesss.  '80's themed roller skating, with another gathering afterward. I'm pretty pumped.  Because I didn't get to go to out dancing with the gang for Matty's birthday, we'll celebrate all together again.  More on all that in the future.  As well as Jon's birthday celebrations this weekend and another Caitlin & Dean shindig.  So these next couple weekends will be a good time :)  

Oh, also-- I went to the Union Terminal museum for the first time... it was sooo awesome!  There's this giant display/interactive steamboat replica, so cool.  Thank you Honors' class for allowing me a reason to go on a field trip in college-- be jealous! haha.   

I'm watching a rerun of Skins... US version, don't let me down, please.  Thanks.  I'm expecting awesome music, and lots of drama!  That's not too much to ask.

So on that note, I shall bid thee farewell.  

Here's a cool song to leave you with:

Very Skins-esque. 

Peace and rocket. :) (a reference to My Life As Liz)

Soldier...

Song of the day. It always gets stuck in my head! hah thanks Matt. :)

Lay Me Down...

Chill song, but I love it. :) Song of the day.

Telephone/Bad Romance...

SONG OF THE DAY....

Love this cover, and Alphabeat is one of favezies bands!!!!

Boots/Mushaboom/VMK...

What's in my hair today?! Lots and lots of snow. It looks like I had a bad case of dandruff. vominmypom.com hahah But I shall not complain about the weather-- it allowed me to get out of class early! :) Because I am currently snowed-in at my house... there is not a whole lot to do. So Facebook creeping, YouTubing, and last minute procrastination assignments will be done-- but that's a given, really.  I didn't get to meet up with the usuals in Starbucks today, that was a real bummer.  The snow, although it tis pretty, causes some problems.  Was there this much snow at Christmastime? I don't remember. I hope so!  I am really aching to have a fierce snow photoshoot, and maybe some sledding and some hot chocolate. Yumm!  The wintertime is really a beautiful thing, I know people refer to the snow as the "White Death", but I really like the snow.  It's magical and makes me want to catch snowflakes on my tongue, like when I was a young lass. Snow is nature's glitter! Promise. Ask Matty and Jon. 

Speaking of, I shall let you listen to a lovely LIGHTS song about snow, boots, and glitter: 

My dear TyGab left yesterday to go back to NYU, how fetch! Right?  He's all fabulous up there in NYC, and we're all stuck inside in the NKY. But it's a hairflip, as Chris Crocker would say.  We went out to dinner for his last night in town, and things got a little out of hand with a joke-- that wasn't that funny.  I'm really sorry Matty, I didn't want you to get that upset, I know you care about me.  Cupcakes will not be coming soon, well, I don't think... But who knows with the whole "Chase" situation.  But he's a whole other story... but Matt, I'm sorry-- I hope all is forgiven.  

Now for the whole "Chase" thing-- there's this boy, and he seemed interested, but then he acts all weird now?  I don't really want to go into detail, because that's just not classy, and I don't want people to know who I am talking about.  But who knows what's going on with that.  A lot of boys seem to be acting peculiar lately, maybe it's all the snow?! hah Oh well 

What else?  Tomorrow, in my honors class-- we're supposed to go to the museum, which I am totally stoked for!  I hope we get to go, but I'll be okay with going on my own soon.  Have I mentioned that I am excited about this semester, I hope all goes well, and better than the first semester.  My teachers seem to be real chill and cool... which is always a plus.  

Right now, I feel like watching (500) Days of Summer... again! or maybe A Walk To Remember, I think I'm addicted! :) haha Oh well, they're both really good movies! I need to start "vloging".  Very soon.  I also am lacking new pictures on Facebook, it's terrible!  What is happening to me?! Hmmm. I can't wait for mine and Matty's Burfday!!!! :) It will be awesome and such.  We're perhaps going dancing tomorrow night, if weather permits.  Speaking of "permits", I really need to get mine.  I need to at least have a photo-id, so I can start doing 18 year old things! haha How pathetic... I have to get people to buy my R-Rated movie tickets! Gross.  While on the subject of movies, I was hoping Andrew and I would be able to see that new Natalie Portman movie, No Strings Attached.  It looks good-- I'll let ya know...

  

Hmmm... It is so weird having nothing to do at this time.  I usually would have been on campus til 3 or 4, then coming home for a nap, some homework, and some Facebook.  Then, going back out for coffee or out to eat with friends.  This has been a long day! Consisting of getting up early for school, hitching a ride with Ash, going to math class, then history, then leaving early and coming home... home, to sit around, sing, watch tv, blog, fill out some paper work, and ya know. haha  I need to paint my fingernails again, and tease my hair some more. Sorry, those were thoughts I had going on-- now you know! I also need to go to the store and get some more foundation. And my brother just quoted Easy A, thank you Chad! That helped make this blog complete! :)  I love how random my family is, they're the best. And so are my friends.  Thanks everyone for always being so random and caring.  Snaps for you all. :)  Have a safe and lovely rest of your day, now to be lazy some more....

Loves ya! 

It was what was playing while typing some of this. I rather enjoy it, actually. :)

oh and this is my Very Mary-Kate picture that I sent to Joey yesterday...

hahahahahhaha, this is atrocious, but so funny. Hope you love it.  And P.S. don't forget to check out verymarykate.com  She is sooo funny! :)

Oh My God...

MLK Day and Such...

So today has been very very lazy... but we were off school, so it's valid.  We didn't just get a random day off-- remember why we're off, MLK day.  I know some people don't realize the importance of history and the great steps that were taken in order to get where we are today, and lord knows I forget about all the great strides in history... but just take a second every now and again, and think about how times used to be, and how lucky we are today!  

On a side note, my dear bro. Chad, and his fellow co-workers are starting "The Biggest Loser" at their work... so in honor of that, our large-and-in-charge family has decided to help him out, and get healthier too.  We shall see how this works out-- it ends sometime in April, I'll try and give some updates, but it will not be the main focus of my blog.  

What else? Hmm... we all had a fun time at the Double Entendre party with Montez and the gang.  I was "Hot Coco", naturally. Matty was a "Worn-out Welcome Matt" and TyGab was... well, let's just say he sewed bears to the back of his shirt. haha We danced the night away, and were all straight-up divas. Duh :) There was a little drama, but nothing major... and I may or may not have peed my pants when Matt hit me in the face while he almost fell on the ice. hahha. Too much. I like the "Bow-Legged" costume, as well as the "Arm Candy" costumes.  Very creative people! Snaps for all of you :) Anything else?  

Oh... we might be moving. But don't be alarmed, it would be to Highland Heights, bringing me closer to campus. haha Perfect. Which means, for those folks who always chauffeur me around-- things just got simpler! :) Thanks, by the way, to those people who drive me around, love ya!  Special shout out to my boy Christopher who was a doll the other night and drove me to campus... you're awesome!  

Another random side note... I almost re-pierced my ears. haha So I'll be wearing clip-ons and normal earrings again! Duh.  

The other day, doing our usual routine... Joey and I realized what I can do with my life-- Become a talk show host! Duh.  I mean, I already sit in Starbucks for most of the day, drinking coffee, chatting, and getting my hair done by Matt, Kevin, or Joey. haha Why not get paid for it?! It's quite brilliant!  I think we may start filming for the show soon. In Starbucks. So be ready! haha :) Oh, and we also all pretended to be on "That '70's Show" the other day at lunch.  It was funny. Matt W. was Kelso, Ashley was Donna, I was Jackie, Kevin was Fez, and Matt, the knight in shining armor, was Hyde.  It was a good time.  What else is happening? Oh-- the US version of Skins comes on tonight! Wohoo. Can't wait, but I don't know if I'll like it as much as the UK version.  Jon got me hooked. We shall see. What else?

MY 19TH BURFDAY IS COMING UP!!!! I can't wait! :)  Although, I don't really have any extravagant plans.  Matt's birthday is the same day, he's exactly a year older! January 30th... can't wait.  Our friends are possibly throwing us a party, that'll be the bomb.com.  Well I guess that's all I shall rant and ramble about today... 

Hope everyone had a lovely MLK Day :)

Life, Like, Love And Happiness...

So, I was kinda being emotional, and a typical girl, and was thinking... Why can't life be like those romantic old fairytale-type movies?  I know times change, and things get more complex, people become more corrupted with society, and aim to please the image of the celebutants on television, but what happened to originality?  What happened to simplicity, and wholesome, good lives?  For the record, I am not about to preach anything, promise-- Who am I to say anything?  I just kinda had some thoughts floating around.  Maybe it was watching those cutesy Disney Channel movies, or just living life... but I got to thinking.  Do these moments that are so glorified and remembered in movies, really happen?  Does the girl always get the guy in the end?  Is there always exceptions to the "rules"?  Do guys really randomly like you, while having never talked to you, look you up in the yearbook, and show up outside a church where you're at for your sister's wedding, leaning against his red sports car, waiting. waiting, for you? Can you really go twenty-something years without ever being kissed, pretend to be a high school student, then fall in love with the high school english teacher?  And do guys really fall for their best girl friend, and never tell them, and just watch at the sidelines while she hurts the guy? Hmmm... forreal, does it happen?  

I know I can't really say I've ever seen any of this happen in real life.  But the movies make it look magical, like modern-day fairytales.  But who says these things couldn't happen in real life?  Are there really guys who still like to impress girls, who just want to be in the company of a girl he likes, and take her to the fair?  Guys who will lay in the grass to stair into the midnight sky next to a girl?  A guy who isn't afraid to slow dance in public, or under the glow of the moon? Guys who want to take strolls through town with his crush, and want to go to the movies with her to watch the movie, and hold hands?  Does any of this exist?  Or are all guys chumps who want to go mack on ladies at the club, or get waisted at parties?  Are there still gentlemen out there: who open the car doors for women, who hold the doors for strangers, who say "thank you" and "sorry", do these guys exist, is chivalry dead?  Or are they all "players" with one thing in mind?  I'm just curious.  I know that I can be naive at times-- but I'd still like to think that gentlemen and nice women actually still exist.  Maybe that's just me.  Maybe I'm the only one who wishes they were in a John Hughes film, maybe I'm the only one who wishes Landon from A Walk To Remember would want to change his ways for a girl.  Maybe I'm the only one who wants to have simple fun like they do in those Disney Channel movies.  Maybe I need to stop worrying about all of this.  I mean sometimes I just feel weirded out by the fact that I'm like the next "Never Been Kissed", I know I am no Drew Barrymore, and I wasn't called "Josie Grossie" in HIgh School, but come on... I'm going to be 19 in a few weeks, and I've never had a boyfriend, and never had my first kiss. How foreign?!  I'm not saying I'm having a pity party for myself, but sometimes I think I'm different than all the other girls.  But then again, I know I am different than all the other girls, and I am proud of it.  I'm special, and I know my values, I know who I am, and I know my boundaries.  I know how to handle myself, and I guess you could say I am secure with my childlike innocence.  I'm perfectly okay with who I am.  It's just sometimes when you hear about how the good girls are the one's that guys will want to marry... how long am I gonna have to wait??!  Ugh. Oh well... as they say, only time will tell.

I never used to worry about guys and wether they liked me, but now that I'm finishing my freshman year of college, I think: am I some weirdo?  I have a lot of friends, both guys and girls... but nothing more.  I'm quite alright with that, I am secure enough with myself and my life to not really be bothered by it.  It's just sometimes I wish I had a real best friend who I could hold hands with, text anytime randomly about nothing, and we could just enjoy spending time together.  I'm not greedy, I don't want him to buy me things.  I'd rather go spend time listening to great music at a concert: don't buy me the ticket, just enjoy the experience with me.  I don't need someone to buy me clothes, jewelry and purses to impress me... just take an interest in my interests.  Just be yourself, and I'll do the same: I'll be the weird, quirky, sometimes fabulously loud, random, big-haired girl with too many clothes from thrift stores, and has a good heart and a huge bow in her hair.  

I don't really know why I got all personal with this blog, I guess you should be able to see all the sides of me.  I usually don't reveal my personal side, especially to strangers.  But who cares, I'm real... makes me think of a J.Lo song :)  Anyway... it's not like I'm going to be sitting at home eating and becoming besties with Ben&Jerry over the weekend, these were just some thoughts I had.  I kind of was just thinking about all this for a few days, and like I said, I watched way too many movies over the break.  Maybe I am Tom from (500) Days Of Summer, but at least he had a Summer?  Oh well. Don't feel sorry for me.  I am happy with my life, and I am focusing on the important things: Family, friends, school, etc... I have too much going on and to be happy for already, to not enjoy life.  Just some things got me thinking about all of this.  This would have been one of the entries featured in my personal journal, but I'll just post it for everyone to read! haha Oh so in conclusion... Be thankful for life: Live, Love and be Happy.  :) But why can't life happen like it does in the movies.  But nothing in life is easy and we learn from our mistakes.  

...Just some more random thoughts from Coco's Hair. 

Why can't couples be cutesy, like this song: 

Live It Up...

It's Friday!!! Song of the day, duh! :)

When They Fight/Sugar Pie...

To make up for not posting anything Wednesday:

and now for an oldie, but a goodie...

Lots Of Hair.

My friend Ryan sent me this, so of course I need to share....

Might be my new theme song?!? hahhah

Wow wow, the Snow...

Today was quite the day! hah Although my ex-high school had a divine little snow day, college did not allow it... But honestly, it's quite alright!  I really enjoy going to school everyday and being on campus: more time to socialize, duh.  This semester seems like it should be a good time, I think I'm going to like all my classes, and the lunch time with friends like Timmy (TimmyBoo), Matt (the stud), Tyler (Mr. McRib), etc.  I'm hoping this semester will be peachier than last, but we shall see. :)  I'm sure we'll have a bomb.com time. P.s. I actually have that "college kind of classroom" in an auditorium-type setup, real weird. haha It's like im on a movie or something!  Where's the hidden camera? Get my best side. haha just kidding. 

On a side note, I'd like to say that I am so thankful to Taylor, Franz, Matty and Sarah for not hating me when I spewed Naked juice everywhere! Once again, I am so so so sorry!  People really shouldn't make me laugh while drinking a beverage.  We learn from our mistakes ;) hahha. I was so happy to see everyone today and yesterday on our first few days back.  But for the record, TyGab, you don't even go here!  Sorry, just needed to say it one more time. :)  

I can't wait for my dear Joey to start his new "Mr. Chubby" (or whatevs he's calling it) series... it will be all the rage, but that's a given.  All he needs is a fabulous new wig, and by new I mean from the Village; and maybe some of my fab fake glasses?  We shall see.  What else?  Um there's already some cattiness going on in "The Bux", but it's okay, things should blow over soon.  New friends are being made, and what not, it's great!  I missed Taco Tuesday... boo on this snow.  But I love the snow.  It's like time becomes slower, and everything looks magical-- like a lovely little snow globe  Everything freezes, and time stands still.  The layer of nature's glitter makes everything sparkle and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia. So I really can't complain. :) I'm trying to keep updated on Skins, it's hard to watch them all, but I'm working on it.  I just bought tickets to see All Time Low, Yellowcard, Hey Monday and The Ready Set for April.  I'm pretty pumped, I LOVE concerts.  It's been too long since my last. But I mean Lady Gaga's show is coming up too!!! Wohooo :)  Matty and I watched Dinner For Schmucks last night, it was funny-- but the dumb dvd kept skipping, thank you RedBox.  Is there a BlueBox available?  Oh, that's Blockbuster. oops. hehe.

The new Very Mary-Kate was divine, as always.  But um she better not die!  What would college kids across America, especially NKU, do without new VMK's every Tuesday and Thursday?! Ahhhh.  Terriblethought.com/hopeitneverhappens.  I'm trying to cut back on the fake URL's and quoting so much.  Sorry. :/  Anyway, what else is new?  Um Britney Spears released her new single... that's obviously BIG news, duh. hhaha It's good.  What else? I keep discovering music on my iTunes that I never knew I had, I love that! :)  We may or may not be having a Very Mary-Kate Birthday Extravaganza!! Um, I hope so! I already have my kimono picked out, all I need is a blonde wig. Or maybe I'll just dye my hair blonde?  Yes?  Probably not... I like being a bonafide brunette too much!  Policewomen of Cincinnati shall be airing soon, Andrew is super excited about that! haha Just because he wants me to help him get on TV.  Yea, probably not going to happen.  Maybe he can be featured in my Vlogs/YouTube videos when I start making those.  

I have all kinds of plans for this Blog!  Like song of the day, funny videos, song lyrics, outfit pic of the day, as well as guest bloggers, etc.  P.s. the whole point of this blog is to see what goes on in my cray-cray little mind-- hints the hair reference. :) But there will be guessing games to actually see what's hiding in my hair.  Stay tuned for all that and more!  If you have any more suggestions, please let me know.  Hmm what else?  Oh, tomorrow is Fierce Wednesday.  hah Maybe.  "And on Wednesdays, we wear pink!"  Sometimes.  Tomorrow night is also $1.00 Burgers at Bar Louie, don't miss out.  Well, I don't know what else to ramble about, so... ta ta for now.  Talk to ya later, my lovelies.  (p.s. I need some like catchy name to call the people who read this, like Gaga has her "little monsters"... shall I call you my little "Hair-ettes" haha that was lame, TBD).

Muah, love ya :)

Only Hope

It's a chill day, so...

Song of the day! :)

Build Me Up Buttercup...

Song of the day... a great way to start off a Monday :)

Second Semester...

Well tonight is the last night before the spring semester starts.  Holy cow, time has flown!!! I realize now that I am no longer just visiting NKU anymore, I legitimately go there! haha I use to feel like I was in High School still... or rather, that I hadn't changed since the good ole CCHS-- but as time goes on, I see that not only is everything changing, I am as well.  It's not a bad thing, change is good (I feel like we touched base on this in my first or second blog entry, oh well) It's a hairflip, really.  We all are afraid of where our lives may take us, and by afraid, I mean curious.  It's natural to be frightened or worried, but we must enjoy the present time, the time we have now.  Once again, my grandmother's recent death has taught me this.  

So, as tomorrow is my first day of my last semester as a freshman, I realize that we must be open-minded.  I know that sometimes we get a variety pack of mixed signals, but we must stay open-minded and not over analyze.  Wow... and now I'm getting off on a personal tangent, about me... As a girl, yes, I know-- we over analyze things way too much.  I've had this conversation with many guys and girls, it's true.  We over analyze, and boys sometimes "under" analyze, if that makes sense?  Oh well, I'm just realizing more, that sometimes I need to step back-take a breath-and not worry so much.  (Ashley and I were just talking about all of this.) I mean I want to be a billionaire so freaking bad, but our time will come, right? hahah I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. hhaha Does this cutesy-ness get me anywhere? With these pop references?  Oh well.  It's just a hot mess up in hurr. Maybe it's due to the fact that my hair was looking extra flat today. ewww notme.com/whereisthefrizz?? ANYWAYS.... wow, I need to control myself with those fake URL's. ahha.

Anywho... "The plastics are back in session" as Matty so truly put it.  I'll be in "The Bux" all day mostly, like ush.(usual). Sipping some coffee, chatting, and def. Facebook creeping.  It'll be great to be back in the swing of things, and catching up with friends after the Winter "holiday". Too many British shows for me. Yumm. But I do love Skins.  Thanks Jon. :) But I mean, I still have no idea what outfit I'm wearing, and that my dear friend is a crucial part of our education. Duh!  But I'll pull it together in the morn' and maybe I'll post a pic of it?  I think I'll do like an outfit of the day kinda blog entry too... what do you think?  Hope you loves it, duh. 

So I mean, the gang will be all back together... and by gang, I mean me and my gays, plus others.  And I mean that in the most loving way possible.  Do NOT take offense... I have a lot of homosexual friends, but it's no big deal, they know who they are.  And we have the upmost fetch time together.  So, I'm sure Facebook will be bombarded with new pictures of us on our first day back-- naturally.  :)

I'll miss my friends whom I got to visit while they were home, we had a lot of fun.  But now I can't ever go back to The Levee without that darn Andrew. haha-- it's tradition. Have fun in LexVegas.  Ryan Double D and Danielle will have an awesome time soaking up each other's awesome-ness in The Ville... I hope to be visiting you all more often! :) It's sad to think that we wont see one another til like Spring Break or whatevs... but, I mean, there's always Skype and Facebook! wohoo thank goodness for modern technology! 

So once again, I need to stop rambling.  Thank you A-Town! I'll be here all week (and by all week, I mean the rest of my life, or whenever I grow up and move away, or whenever I get rich or die trying-- ya know!) haha.  

Love ya! ;) 

The Other Side...

Song of the day ya'll! :) 

the week in review-ish...

For days...

Well, I am terribly sorry that I haven't blogged in a couple of days.  I've been living life just a wee bit and hanging out with friends before we all go back to college. yuck.com/homework. hahah anyway, I've just been taking it easy. Being sassy, fabulous and loud-- as usual.  While we're catching up, I must also add that: My dear friend Andrew helped me come up with this whole blog idea, as well as the title. So kudos to him and his creative side, too bad it doesn't come with a rebellious side. ;) haha kidding.  But gosh, I'm really craving a cupcake with Matty and TyGab. What?! haha anyway... I get off on these random little tangents.  My apologies. 

This week is the last week of winter break for me, before returning back to college. Yay! hahha But I do miss the socializing and Starbucks creeping, duh.  This week has been filled with thrifting, learning to walk fiercely in heels, as well as doing Beyonce hips properly.  This week consisted of surprise parties, ice cream cake with bits of cardboard, as well as dirty scrabble.  This week has also consisted of hair dying, not once, but twice. As well as Easy A, Paranormal Activity and Salt. Wow. A lot of movies.  This week consisted of hairflips, dollar burgers-- but not together; Large flowers, bottled water, gum balls, and proposals.  So basically, this week has been the bomb.com :)  Well, I mean naturally.  What else happened this week?  Who knows, I can't even keep track of what day it is.  But it's whatever.  

I feel like I just keep rambling, I'm sorry.  I keep getting sidetracked... Going into Walmart tonight for a hot second, turned into like a hot hour. mmm. hahha. Anyway, I'm kind of just avoiding sleep because of Paranormal Activity, and I am way too lazy to get out of the bed and go potty-- it happens.  Too much?  Sorry.  I don't really know what to blog about.  My thoughts are all kinda jumbled, and I'm kinda just blahhh.... you know what I mean.  It's just that kind of a day.  We all have them. But I mean cheesecake and scary movies with some friends like Ry Guy and Andrew help.  

I'll end this now before I bore you with rambling phrases and quotes.  "So in conclusion, talking makes me tired..." Gosh, I love VM-K! 

OH MY GOODNESS, A SOMBRERO! :) 

Worried Shoes...

Well, it seems as though I am laying in bed listening to the soothing sounds of Where The Wild Things Are.  A lot has been happening, and I'm not really sure what to do.  Really it's petty stuff, but even the little, almost pointless dramas of life can tear you up.  A friend of mine seems to think we're no longer friends, and it kinda hurts.  Friendship is a beautiful thing, and everyone needs it.  I was never faund on opening up to others, but I slowly let that fear go.  I want someone to tell me what a best friend is.  It used to be my mom, but then I tried to branch out and trust friends my own age, who were dealing with the same issues.  That didn't really get me anywhere.  I know that blogging about this won't really help, but it's what is on my mind.  I kind of wish I could rewind, rewind to when times were simpler.  When I was a young lass, and didn't have a care in the world, except for which crayon color would work best, and which Barbie I wanted to take with me to school.  A time when nap time was a requirement, and learning how to tie shoes was all the rage!  Although I enjoy this "adulthood", I sometimes wish I could be little again.  I really like being able to go out on the town, and crank up the music while riding around with friends.  I love people watching on campus, and gossiping in Starbucks.  But sometimes, when the drama and miscommunications get to be too much, I want to revert back to childhood.  I don't know what it is.  Being an adult is suppose to be free and uplifting, but I'm at a loss.  I've already had to grow up in so many ways, but also I am still such a naive child.  I don't mind it, actually.  Sometimes, I just wish people could be as happy and free as I try to be.  I know I'm not perfect.  I make mistakes, and I say stupid things.  I sometimes try too hard to please everyone, but excuse me for trying.  I'm sorry that you may think I have changed, but I hope it's for the best.  I hate losing friends, it's a fear of mine.  I also hate losing friends to stupid, pointless drama caused by Facebook or texting.  It also doesn't help that I listen to this sappy music by The XX, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, and the Where The Wild Things Are Soundtrack.  I miss the simple, sweet days of the summer too.  Although I hate the heat, times were easy: laying in the grass, reading, and listening to the wind chimes, or that lovely indie music on my ipod.  I know that we grow up, it's apart of life.  I know we lose ourselves sometimes, but I've tried really hard not to.  The pressure of being a young adult in college can be tough, but I know how to handle myself.  I am still the same Chanell, and I want people to know that.  My vocabulary may have changed, and I may wear a little more mascara, but I'm still me.  You may not see me for a month, but I would hope that you'd still see I'm the simple girl with a bow in my hair.  My hair may get bigger and frizzier, I may quote too much Very Mary-Kate, but I still am me.  Life has too many changes in it, don't worry about if I'll be different tomorrow.  I'll grow older with time, but my morals will still be the same.  Thank you very much, Alexander.  I hope that you would know this Jade is still the same.  I'm sorry for the time lost, but I still want to "laugh until we think we'll die..." and "watch things on VCR's".  

So long 2010, Hello 2011...

Wow. I can't believe it, we made it... 1-1-11. ahhh, and just think the world is suppose to end next year! We'll see about that! Doubt it, well I mean-- I hope not.  Life is way to precious, and my friends and family mean way too much to me.  
I would like to congratulate my friend, Kelly Schultz, she just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Gabriel! :)  I'd also like to thank my friends for dealing with our lame-ish New Year's Eve.  But I don't really think it matters about what you do for celebrations such as those, as long as you're with cool people who enjoy the company.  Getting our cars stuck (well, obviously I didn't get a car stuck, since I don't drive!) hahah.  Walking the random streets of Cincy, and dealing with my weird family.  But all was well, we rang in the New Year all the same.  
Although I spent the first day of the New Year lounging around in my pj's, I'm completely okay with that!  sometimes spending time with your family, and being lazy is quite excellent.  At least I finally posted this blog, that Tyler, Ryan and others have been talking about.  I hope it will be as big of a success as we hoped.  
I hope everyone had a splendid 2010, and here's to a fresh presh 2011!!! :)
