I was walking past a mirror today and I glanced at myself. Then I took a second look. On this second look I told myself "I'm pretty" and I admired myself for a quick minute. And you know what? We all need to do it once in a while. If we don't admire ourselves, no one else is going to do it. Look in the mirror and realize how fabulous you are.
Just don't do it too much. Narcissism is never a good look on anyone.

Chance.
Sometimes, people will tell you exactly what you've been wanting to hear. Most of the time, they have bad timing. So tell me, do you take a chance at being the one who says the right thing at the right time? Or do you bite your tongue and not say anything?

T.G.I.F
Once upon a time I used to look forward to Friday nights because it was guaranteed I was going out to shake my booty. Then it became guaranteed that I was at least going out to a movie or dinner. Definitely not the case anymore. Now, I look forward to my Friday nights if for nothing else but falling asleep early and being able to wake up much later than usual the next day. Oh, and I am perfectly fine with this by the way. Even though tomorrow I still have to be up early, at least it's for something more exciting than work.
Have a good weekend!

The Magic Of A Rainy Day
Rainy days have a way of draining my energy. Don't get me wrong, I actually like summer rain, especially drizzle, because it's warm out and if I choose I can go outside in flip flops - which is always better than getting my shoes soaked. The problem is though, the darkness and gloominess of rainy days. It makes me feel like I should be home staring out my window, or curled up in bed reading a book. Most of us don't really want to be out in the rain, but we have to go to work, to school, or to run errands so we make our way out there.
Then there are those people who actually love the rain, and feel more invigorated when the clouds are out. I have an ex-boyfriend from many moons ago who loves rain..and dare I say it, he also likes the colder weather. I always thought he was crazy. I love hot weather. I like to go outside in a tank top and shorts and feel the warmth on my skin. Which is why I don't dislike the summer rain as much. Usually when it rains in the summer it's still warm out, and you only get cold when your skin gets wet and the wind picks up. Though I don't think I could ever like the cold, I do think there is a bit of whimsy in a rainy day. I think it's romantic to take an adventure outside with your boyfriend/girlfriend while huddled up under one umbrella together. Or you can stay inside and spend the day watching movies and cuddling. You can also try to recreate the best scene (in my opinion) from "The Notebook" where they are on the lake and it starts raining..
Just remember to appreciate the rainy days, because as a co-worker pointed out to me - rainy days are the days it is okay to be lazy and no one can blame you for it.

My Dating Situation
Currently I am not dating anyone. I am not 'talking' to anyone either. This wasn't exactly a choice but I'm not crying or complaining about it anyway. I could say I'm not interested in anyone but to be honest there is one person I would consider dating but we have a pretty good friendship and I don't really want to mess with that. Besides him, every guy I already know I definitely do not want to date. It has happened too often that I know who a guy has dated in the past (sometimes personally) or I have heard stories about who he has tried to date or who he bedded. This is why I came to the conclusion that I need to meet new guys.
My big dilemma with this is where do I go to meet them? How do I make an approach? How do I even know who to approach? Now some people might ask how I met guys before and why I don't just use those methods. Yea, those methods definitely won't work. I've dated guys I met in school, but I've been out of school for a while. I've dated guys I worked with, thankfully that can't happen with my current job cause NEVER AGAIN will I do that. I've also dated guys I met online, never had a bad experience but facebook isn't exactly a match-maker site and I don't see myself paying for match.com or anything like that. So you see, I'm back at square one.
Now, I don't want anyone to think that I am in a rush to meet anyone or that I am looking to settle down or find Mr. Right. I actually am not really looking forward to the introductory phase of dating someone new. Thinking about all of the getting to know each other and getting comfortable with each other is making me tired. I don't feel like going through that again and again until I find someone I can actually get along with. And even though I'm not looking for something long-term I am still being picky about who I choose to interact with. And seeing as I feel I may be getting too personal here, I'm just going to cut this off now.

"Pretty Girls Don't Cry"
I remember reading that headline on a "Pretty Girl's" MySpace page before, and I wanted so bad to agree with it. But as I've learned by obsessing over the lives of countless beautiful women, not only do they cry - they sometimes cry more.
They cry because people look at them and think, "She musn't have any problems in the relationship department." They cry because they are placed on such a high pedastal that is supposed to make them incapable of getting their heart broken. They cry because everyone expects them to bounce so quick from one relationship and onto the other.
They cry because everyone seems to think that they can have any man they want - and while they know that there is some truth to it, they cry because the only man they want doesn't want them.
They cry because their personality gets overlooked by their physical appearance. They cry because their looks get strereotyped. They cry because sometimes they wish they weren't so cute so they wouldn't have to worry about passing by a bunch of drunk men alone at night. They cry because other females tend to hate on what they don't understand.
They cry because no matter how much their friends say, "Girl she ain't got nothin on you," she obviously does because he chose HER and not YOU.
They cry because no matter how much work they put into something, they'll always be seen as the cute girl in class or the hot chick on the 2nd floor. They cry because people place such an emphasis on their looks that they're scared to disapoint them. They cry because they feel like they're not supposed to, like they can't, like it's wrong. They cry because they start to believe what people tell them and think, "Why the hell am I crying?"
They cry because when they look in the mirror, they hate what they see and can't seem to find that "pretty girl" that everyone thinks doesn't cry.

Excuse My Absence
Wow I feel bad that I have neglected my blog for a week. Even though I am sure I'm not letting a bunch of people down for not updating this frequently, I do need to be consistent. I have a few posts that are waiting to be completed, and this weekend was just filled with activity so I couldn't exactly think about writing anything. I may just update with a few pictures from my weekend to at least keep this blog updated and possibly interesting. So I will be back very soon!
