Questions

Remember my little questions book?

Thought I'd pull it back out on the blog and answer questions from this last week!

Sep. 25: Do you plan, or are flying by the seat of your pants?

For the last five years, I planned.  I had school to finish, work shifts I had to plan around, and I generally had a timeline for my life.  Lately, I've been flying by the seat of my pants and at times I find it really exciting, but other times it's super scary and frustrating.  I'm starting to miss having a plan!

Sep. 26: Today was amusing because...

It wasn't very amusing! I started coming down with a cold and pretty much did nothing.

It was a very lazy kind of day.

Sep. 27: Do you handle rejection well?

Not normally, no.  

It's hard being rejected, especially when you're rejected from something or by someone that you love.

The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing that no matter what I still have people and other things in my life that won't reject me no matter what happens.

Sep. 28: How hungry are you right now?

I haven't had much of an appetite lately! 

Sep. 29:  Bad news: sugarcoated or staight-up?

Don't sugarcoat it at all.  Give me the bad news straight up.  I'll handle it as best as I can.

Sep. 30: How do you get out of a rut?

Have a good cry, watch some Gilmore Girls, talk to my mom, and then just resolve to move on.

Oct. 1: What are you a geek about?

Gilmore Girls, Disney, and Harry Potter...yeah, I'm that kind of girl.

Oct. 2: What do you crave?

Goldfish crackers.  Coffee.  Ice cream.

 

Week in review

Little questions for this week from my little book.

May 7:  Who would play you in a movie about your life?  Is it a good movie?

Kerri Russell, when her hair was long.  It is a good movie!  My life has been awesome so far.

May 8:  Who do you think is cute?

Ok, little book, what am I? A middle schooler?

But if you must know I think my boyfriend is incredibly cute. 

And Hayden Christensen.

May 9:  What do you want to postpone?

 May 12...for about two more years.

By getting up and getting in the shower.

That's how I start everyday!

May 11: How do you want to be remembered?

I want to be remembered as someone who lived life and loved others.

This song sums it up pretty well.

 

May 12:  What are you exploring?

I'm exploring a whole different aspect of my long distance relationship.

May 13:  Who loves you today?

   My family, Corinne, James, God...and a few other people. Such a weird question!

May 14:  What makes a good enemy?

I don't want any enemies good or bad.

I wouldn't even know where to begin to answer that question.

Q&As

Haven't done any of my little questions from my little questions book in awhile.

Here's the ones from this past week.

March 19, 2011: Describe your work ethic

I've always been told that I have an amazing work ethic.  Back when I was still working at Hollister, my managers constantly were thanking me for being such a hard and diligent employee.  I never left any task undone and was always looking for things I could fix to keep me busy.

Honestly, at LA Fitness it's been difficult to keep up a good work ethic lately.  I'm still always on time and do my work to the best of my ability, but I'm burned out and it's affecting my job....I need to work on that.

March 20, 2011: What was the last book you read?

The last book that I read/currently am reading is "The Swan Thieves" by Elizabeth Kostova.  I've mentioned her before on my blog and I think she's one of my favorite authors.

March 21, 2011: The first thing you ate today was....

Coffee! (I know it doesn't count but oh well!)

March 22, 2011: Jot down a news story from today:

Bummer! I'm a journalist, I shoulda been able to answer this one but I skipped this day.

March 23, 2011: Are you country or rock 'n' roll (or hip-hop, emo, folk, punk...)?

Well ya'll should already know the answer to that. I'm a country girl.

March 24, 2011: What did you daydream about today?

Spring break...North Carolina...poem ideas...getting tan...Summer vacation.

Mach 25, 2011: .......made you laugh.

Hannah came home last night from working an event at her job, where they taught women self defense and the first words out of her mouth were, "B*****s be crazyyy!"  I laughed super hard, because I hadn't even had a chance to ask her how it went.

March 26, 2011: Who do you inspire to be like?

I've said this on here before too, but inspire to be like my mother...a lot.

Just a picture/food for thought.

Have a good Sunday lovelies!

I had an awesome blog all planned out for the 20th, but the sisters were down visiting and time just got away from me.  On the 20th this year, the weather in Long Beach was absolutely beautiful.  Actually this whole week the weather has been awesome.  LAST year however, this was not the case!!!  Just a fun, blast from the bast for you guys.  My weekend was great.  I got to go to Disneyland and California Adventure for the first time in a couple years.  We also had a fun day in Santa Monica. 

Today was my last, first day of college.  I don't really know why but I was so excited to start school today! My first class was great. I think I'm really gonna like it.  Tomorrow probably will suck. I'm at school from 11 a.m. to 8:15 p.m....yuck.  The only thing that's keeping me positive is that I'm almost done! Yay!

And now today's question from my little awesome diary...

January 24, 2010: If you were to start your own company, what would it be?

If I was going to start my own company, I would probably start my own publishing company and publish kids books!

Two in one day

I'm on a roll today.  Sorry for the pity post earlier...but I was seriously in a mood. I think the four massive cups of apple cider, two super girly movies, and this new favorite blog helped to sort-of snap me out of it.  I thought I would keep up with what I started yesterday and share today's question in my new journal.

January 13, 2011: Where do you want to travel next?  

My first reaction to this question is almost always North Carolina.  

I've said it many times and I'll say it again...

I'm a born and raised California girl, but I'm a North Carolina girl at heart. 

Who could resist this?

And who would not want to travel to or live here??

I would seriously die and go to heaven if I could drink coffee on that front porch every morning.

But...

Tonight, I think I would like to travel here...

The end.

Twelve days into the new year and I haven't blogged yet?? Something must be wrong with me.  There's no way that I'd be able to recap everything that's happened since January 1st, but I think my lovely roommate Kacey helped me find a way to fill ya'll in on what's been going on in my head these last, almost two weeks.  For Christmas she got me a 365 question, 5 year, and 1,825 answer journal.

 Everyday I get a new question and there's five spots for five years and five different answers.  So here are the first twelve...

January 1, 2011: What is your mission?

My mission right now is to graduate with all As for my last semester and to find an internship.

January 2, 2011: Can people change?

I think that people can absolutely change! Every one has the potential to better themselves and their situations.  They can totally write a better story for their lives.

January 3, 2011: What are you reading right now?

"House of Dark Shadows" by Robert Liparulo

January 4, 2011: The best part of today?

The best part of today was going to the Aquarium with Matthew, Rebecca, and James.  It was free thanks to the Salinas Library system and it was pretty fun to go and hang out together.  

January 5, 2011: What was the last restaurant you went to?

The last restaurant that I want to was Cozumels with Mom, Dad, James, Becca, Matthew, and Candace.

January 6, 2011: Today was tough because?

Today was very tough because my love left for N.C. this week, I had to go back to Long Beach to start working again, and my parents got into a four car crash right after I left.

January 7, 2011: You are lucky; how so or not so?

I think I'm super lucky because so far I've had an amazing life and seriously feel incredibly blessed.

January 8, 2011: What song is stuck in your head?

Right now I don't have a song stuck in my head, but the last one I can remember really sticking for awhile was "Come On Eileen", thanks to Miss Cassie!

January 9, 2011: Was today typical? Why or why not?

Today was pretty typical. Got up and got ready for work, worked 2-8 at the gym, and then went to a friend's house and watched a movie.

January 10, 2011: Write down something that inspired you today?

The only thing I could think of that inspired me in any way today was the blogs that I read.  They always inspire me to write more and to become a better writer.

January 11, 2011: Today you lost.......

Today I lost to Krystal.  She beat me in clear ups again and it made me realllyyyy bummed out!

January 12, 2011: What's your favorite accessory?

My favorite accessory is my Tiffany's heart bracelet from James.  I wear it every single day, no matter what.
