"Can anybody find meeee, somebody to loooovvve?"

I've been severely neglecting this blog! Lately, I've been really into Tumblr because I can link it to my Twitter and Facebook and it's quick and easy. However today, I felt the need to blog...

I've had a recent encounter (that I don't want to get into) that's made me realize that I'm ready and want to be in a relationship. Up until this encounter, I was enjoying being single and dating, but now I think I want a boyfriend again:/ I just miss that companionship that comes with being in a relationship. I mean sure, the physical stuff is nice, but I really just miss being able to just talk to someone about my crappy day and have them cheer me up or to just do things together like go to the movies or something. I miss holding someone's hand and snuggling on the couch watching tv. I know it sounds super cheesy, but that's just how I am. I'm a typical girl:P So, instead of just passing over guys real quick and saying I don't want a boyfriend, I'll keep my mind open to the idea to a potential relationship with someone.

Bad, bad blogger

It's been a few weeks since my last entry and I'm very disappointed in myself for not blogging more, but lately I haven't really felt the need to vent/jot down any of my life happenings...don't get me wrong, Vegas was great! (except for Megan being sick practically the whole time), I'm just now starting to think about where my life is going and what I really want to do.

I keep going back to what I want for a career. I've always wanted to do something artsy. Ever since I was little I've wanted to be an artist. At first I wanted to do interior design, but realized that wasn't for me, and now I've switch to wanting to be a photojournalist. However, when I think about it, what jobs am I really going to get as a photojournalist? Maybe I should do something else? Maybe I should do something in addition? My mom just got me thinking about this recently: maybe I should do something with makeup, like be a makeup artist. I've definitely found a passion for makeup in the last couple years through You Tube gurus like Kandee Johnson, so why not follow that passion and see where it leads? I for sure want to finish college and get my degree, but after that I think I want to try out beauty school and cosmetology.

I've also been having issues on trying to move out. I keep looking around, but everything's either too expensive or a scam. I'm most definitely going to need a roomie, but so far the one I had in mind hasn't been the most reliable or responsible friend lately, so I'm starting to doubt her ability to pay her part of the rent each month. There seems to be some cute studios and 1 bedrooms out there, but I don't know if they're too small for 2 people and I don't really know who my roomie will be. My dream roomie would obviously be Megan, but she's just starting her first real good paying job this summer, so she doesn't have any money saved up like I do to move out. I started thinking about my one of my oldest and best friends, but I need to talk to her about it cause I don't know if she even wants to move out yet. It just sucks that I'm so ready to move out and be on my own, but I don't have many friends to have for a roomie and I really don't want to room with a stranger obviously. It's just everyone in my family seems to be developing their own lives and having their own issues that we don't see much of eachother, so it almost feels like living on my own anyway. At the same time, I'm at that age and time when I'm just itching to spread my wings and experience life on my own! Hopefully, I can sort this moving out business soon. My dream would be to find a place by summer.

Anyhoo, I really need to get some sleep since I have work in the morning.

Gearing up for Vegas!

I'm so excited about this weekend!!! But before that, I've got class and work tomorrow:( But AFTER that, I'm going to pack everything up and then see Alice in Wonderland at midnight! I'm slightly bummed though that I waited too late to get IMAX 3D cause they sold out, but I still was able to get regular 3D for Megan and I. So, we'll see that and then it's off to Vegas in the morning! :D Pops and I bought some yummy goodies for the drive there and I got a few travely things from Target and a super cute little bag! Anyhoo, I'll post photos when we get back cause certain things don't have to stay in Vegas haha

Dolly bags!

I've just discovered Dolly bags! They're handmade retro inspired bags with serious durability! There're so many cute ones, I can't decide which one to get! I might have to splurg and get myself one for my birthday....

I'm thinking about these:

Vegas here I come!

Yay! I booked everything for my birthday trip to Vegas! The plan is to leave early on the 5th, check in, and go see Phantom. Then on the 6th, gamble, drink, explore, and then Thunder from Down Under. We'll be staying at Treasure Island and I'm so excited! I can't wait!!! I'm so excited, my mind can't seem to turn off for me to go to bed! Plus, I have a quiz in the morning on a book I only read the first couple chapters of and I'm kinda nervous about that. I know the basic plot cause I looked it up, but still. Anyhoo, I need to start looking for some cute outfits for Vegas haha

Early happy vday to me!!

Yesterday, Megan and I went a little crazy at Urban Outfitters and Forever 21. Urban was having an awesome 50% off of sale items sale and we got a bunch of cute stuff. I got a really cute plum wool dress for $15, an adorable cloche type hat for $5, a b/w sweater for $10, and a super cute blue high-waisted pencil skirt for $15. Then we went over to Horton Plaza to Forever 21 so I could look at the new Twist collection. I have to be honest though, I wasn't that impressed. They didn't have a lot of the pieces I wanted online and the ones they did have didn't look as cute in person. So, I just ended up getting a pair of blue flats and a cute red bow belt. Overall, I'm very happy with my valentine presents to myself lol.

Well, I need to get ready for my film class. Crossing my fingers for no technical difficulties!

I will become the next Top Chef! Well, not really...

Yesterday I made the best granola EVER. Well, I haven't tasted enough granola to really make that kind of a statement, but it is really good granola! I got the recipe on Food Network's website of course. Also, a balsamic chicken with spinach and couscous dish that I made tonight for my daddy and I (that was also quiet delish). Mom and Megan are up in LA at the Wiltern (where I saw Dierks) to see Nick Jonas. They tried to get into Leno to see him too, but they filled to capacity before they could get in, even though they had tickets. So that was a bummer for them, but hopefully they're enjoying the concert! Dad's out at his concert band rehersal, but he should be home soon...so that leaves me all alone on the couch typing this. But I don't mind. I really like to be by myself sometimes, I think everyone does.

Classes are going well. Not too pleased with my film classics class turning out to be classics from 1960 to present though. I expected 1920 to maybe 1970, but oh well. We started watching The Graduate and next week we'll watch Mash. I forgot how good looking Dustin Hoffman was in The Graduate haha. Anyhoo, all my other classes are good and I haven't gotten too much work. Yet.
