Diary of The Single Girls

June 29 2012,

Dear Diary,

April-Marie surprised me with the most wonderful day imaginable! Who knew turning 25 would be so glamourous. She knew I woke up from a rough night, and withheld all judgements upon arrival. Me, wearing my left over mascara and 'sweet thang' eye wear, staggered to the door to gratefully accept the large coffee. Gracias.  I managed to get myself in decent order as we headed on for the day. A wonderful day at that.

We went to the salon and got our toes did. Penelope greeted us to give us a pedicure. Little did we know we were up for some belly aching laughs. This girl should be a part time therapist. She asked any question she thought up and gave a blunt answer. We both learned a few things from our elder. This girl knew her stuff. Cops? Well anyone in uniform should be questioned. That includes Doctors, Firefighters, Paramedics you name it, you question it. People in uniform are generally up to no good. That piece of uniform goes right to their head. We talked about love, and lack there of. We talked about lust and men with big egos. It was decided that in the end you need a lot in common for love to ever have a chance at being everlasting. We walked away with our beautiful feet, both of course pretty in pink, paying our thanks to our wonderful toe specialist.

By this point our little bellies were bagging for some attention. We couldn't decide between thai, sushi or regular diner food. We stopped in at a local joint and grabbed some Rosemary Portebello Mushroom sandwich, tomato asperagus soup and a glass of Merlot. Delicious. We squared the bill, and could not wait the rest of our days adventures.

Once we arrived home we slipped into something more appropriate for this hot summer weather. Wearing our bathing suits we stepped outside to get our bronze on. Practicing our safe suntanning, (you don't want to be a wrinkled prune later in life girls) we listened to the Regina Spektor, and let her music speak to our soul. It was time to head inside and prepare for the evening.

Yours,
N

Hello my lovelies,

Today is my first official day of summer vacation! I am experience nostalgia of childhood. Remember those days? Waking up to the sun shining, cartoons singing, and a bowl of your favourite cereal. Yes, those were the days. The days were filled with no worries or cares only thinking about which friend would come over and play pretend.

I have interviewed hundreds of kids over the course of the past year. I asked them what is their favourite game? Their response both confuses, and saddens me. The common consensus was video games, and television.Todays youth know nothing of the simple pleasures of my past, that have gave me such majestic experiences. What will become of their outlook on life, and their lack of imagination?

I never grew up, and my imagination is still wildly fascinating.

As a "grown-up" in a fast paced world with less time for the simple pleasures I begin observing those around me. I wonder what sort of simple joys do people find stimulating. Much of society finds drinking, and drugs their outlet for fun. On the other hand, the minority can find joys in the simplest of places. The simplicity and fulfillment of a cup of tea on a rainy day, a great book, a fantastic yoga session, picking flowers in a field, catching up with an old friend, or looking at the clouds and imagining the shapes that are forming.

Never forget to enjoy the simple pleasures, because my loves they indeed are the pleasures that speak directly to our heart.

Love, Love, Love.

[Soon it will all be over, buried with our past We used to play outside when we were young.]

I have accepted my offer of admissions into Buffalo State College, NY taking my masters in Speech Language Pathology. Who would have thunk it. This little chi-ca moving to the big city, from a small Northern town. Not I. I look forward to the challenges, friendships, and of course adventure that comes with this decision. All big changes cause may feelings of and emotions. There has been some loss on my journey from following a dream that I have spent many years working towards. I lost a part of my heart, but time heals all wounds. I will persevere, and love again.

I plan to use this blog as my personal way to update those dear to me. I hope to inspire some to follow their own dreams and create their own adventures. Consider this the start to many wonderful words that have been written by moi. I want to paint a picture with my words of the next chapter of my life, where I hope to share bits and pieces of my adventure with those I hold dear to my heart.

When did 'healthy looking' become a negative thing?

Precisely.

Harry Burns: I've been doing a lot of thinking, and the thing is, I love you.
Sally Albright: What?
Harry Burns: I love you.
Sally Albright: How do you expect me to respond to this?
Harry Burns: How about, you love me too.
Sally Albright: How about, I'm leaving.

Coraline Jones: Wybie?
Wybie Lovat: Short for Wyborn. Not my idea, of course. What'd you get saddled with?
Coraline Jones: I wasn't 'saddled' with anything. It's Coraline.
Wybie Lovat: Caroline what?
Coraline Jones: Coraline. Coraline Jones.
Wybie Lovat: Hm. It's not real scientific, but I heard an ordinary name like Caroline can lead people to have ordinary expectations about a person.

Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from the inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves.

You shine, you shine so much brighter.
-Matt Hires-

And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have on meaning.

20 Things I Wish I knew in my 20s'-someone elses blog

1. “Happiness is between the ears,” said my little, bald therapist Dr. John when I wound up on his couch crying at age 23. He was right. Your happiness is not contingent upon where you live, whom you’re dating, what your job is, how you look, or how much money you have in the bank. It comes from within. Oh, and going to therapy is nothing to be ashamed of. Most of us need it.
2. Being envious of others will get you nowhere—being genuinely happy for them will. We’re all on our own path, no need to compete with anyone else.
3. Addicts don’t make good boyfriends. Lots of other kinds of guys don’t make good boyfriends, but I only have 20 items on this list. I’ve scaled down for the sake of brevity.
4. If a dude or anyone rejects you, more times than not it has nothing to do with you. Don’t take it personally.
5. My friend Larry’s catchphrase is “PAFU.” It stands for “People are F*#ked Up.” Sometimes it’s true. Don’t question it; just accept it.
6. You can’t blame anyone else for your problems. No one can make you feel any way. You are in control of your life.
7. Friendships and relationships don’t always last, and that doesn’t make them any less valuable.
8. Bleaching or dyeing your hair too much ruins it forever.
9. Red leopard-print pants don’t look good on you ... no matter what.
10. Your metabolism will slow down like everyone says. Also, eating healthy and working out will pay off.
11. Take advantage of the time when you can party hard without hangovers and can stay up late without being tired. In a few years, you won’t be able to get away with it. Like seriously.
12. You are hot. Just enjoy it and stop complaining.
13. Always. Wear. Protection.
14. Pay your taxes and bills on time because dealing with the IRS and credit card companies is a bitch. It’s a slippery slope once you start down the road of financial ruin. And it takes a long time to find your way back.
15. Be patient with your career. By the time you reach 30, you’ll still have 35 more working years ahead of you, so it’s not the end of the world if you’re not the boss by age 26. Some people who rise up really quickly in their 20s don’t have a clue what they’re doing—they just got lucky. Oh, and you shouldn’t have to work for anyone who yells at you, throws things, or slams down their phone. Yes, even if you are an assistant. (See # 18)
16. Travel as much as you can before your responsibilities start to weigh you down. Backpacking through Europe becomes less fun after a certain age.
17. Taking risks is crucial. This is the prime time to do it. Life is full of second, third, fourth and fifth chances. Just because something goes wrong with an apartment, a roommate or a job doesn’t mean it will follow you for the rest of your life.
18. It’s OK to quit a job, relationship, or friendship that is sucking your soul out.
19. Don’t buy lots of cheap trendy crap. If you buy nice stuff, it will last longer. I had a pair of Gucci sunglasses for eight years. Seriously.
20. Having a good attitude just makes life easier. End of story
