Be mine?
I don't understand the hype of Valentine's Day. Never have, but maybe some day I will. I mean, I am only nineteen years old- there is no reason to start bugging out. What is a Valentine anyway? Someone to tell you they love you and shower you with gifts for one day and one day only? I don't need cards, flowers, or candy to be reminded how much I mean to someone- I just want to hear it. I almost feel like Valentine's Day is a "get out of jail free" card. As long as you do the standard, everything is going to be okay. Who cares if you don't really mean what you say? I do. I care. I wouldn't want to put the stress of Valentine's Day on myself or someone I love. Picking out the perfect flowers, making reservations at the perfect restaurant- that's not important. Love should come stress free. Random acts of affection, that's Valentine's Day. Isn't that what love is about?
El Toro
Loved this dog so much. Toro was my baby. All the kids were too scared to come over to my house though because he was a rottweiler, but he was just a puppy and the sweetest puppy ever. I miss him so much. RIP boo ):
Fool me once...
In your eyes, I'm just some dumb girl who knows nothing. I am gullible, naive, and stupid. Oh, but you would be surprised by how much I know. You can continue to play your games as much as you want, but just remember that I can play them better.

New year, SAME you.
People say "New year, new you" but I don't think that's a true statement. You will always be you. Never change who you are just because it's a new year! There are always things to improve on, but you should always stay true to yourself. I don't like to make new year's resolutions. I like to think of things that are realistic and will better improve my life in the long haul. In 2010 I want to
- Spend more time with my friends. I don't want to flake on them. I want to surprise them and show up when they need me most or when they don't expect it.
- PAY ATTENTION IN SCHOOL!
- Spend less time online and more time outdoors
- Find new, creative ways to get Let Us Love's name out there.
I like to bring in the new year in some strange ways. Two years ago, I got my nose pierced to ring in 2008. This year, I want to get a new tattoo! A treble clef skeleton key. That's just a little sketch. I plan to elaborate a bit more.
LIFE.
My life has been really great. I love my friends, family, job. I'm ready for school and stoked to get an apartment and puppy with my best friend in the fall. I couldn't be happier with the direction that our nonprofit is going. So far, so good. I'm really content and happy with the person that I am. I guess the only thing I would like to change about myself is my inability to make a first move. I'm so outgoing all of the time, but when it comes to certain situations, I refrain from saying how I truly feel. I want to make it a New Year's Resolution this year to state how I feel about people and situations and accept that I will not always hear what I want to hear. That's just life. I'm just tired of holding back and keeping my emotions in.
That was a lot of rambling, my apologies.
