It Would Be You...

Christmas break is almost over and I must say, its been amazing! I wish I could've spent more time with different people, but Im forcing myself to stop living in the past. It's just not worth it to look at all the mistakes we've made and all the things we should've said but didnt.

There's a certain sadness that overwelms me, for I know that we'll all go back to the college days and be separted once more. But hey, that's life!

Somehow this break has shown me different things that Ive stepped over in my life. I finally felt that flip-flop in my tummy as the car goes downhill feeling that I havent experienced in years, and stared at the clouds and let my imagination carry my thoughts away--we saw Chuckie from the Rugrats, JOSH SAW IT TOO!

I beer bonged, smoked my lungs away (NOT A CHEEBAHEAD!) fought of the nasty's at the club, almost pulled my hair out with all this drama around here, could've been affected by radiation from laying on some metal thing at an Abandoned Power Plant or drowned in the James river, and spent wayyyy too much money on movie tickets. Now all that is sacrifice thats worth giving for my favorites ;)

I used to sing my heart out to that song, "Tequila makes her clothes fall off" but I experienced that too, as Joshua and I spent over an hour searching for my shoe and earrings at Kayla's birthday party...ooh hell, who am I kidding? I lose things sober!

I remember sleeping on Kristin's couch with atleast 7 blankets! I freeze horribly in the middle of the night...but Court worked her magic the other night and with an electric blanket cranked up to HIGH and my big jacket on, I slept like a champ; yes, even though David's snores shook the house! Truthfully, I like fans blowing and the sound of people snoring...it's peaceful for some reason.

I live for sport movies: Major League, Remember the Titans, Renegade (okay so it's not fully about Hockey, but still), GridIron Gang, The Rookie, Coach Carter, Glory Road...I spend hours crying over them...it's just so touching! --Which reminds me, I need to email Estep, I just watched We Are Marshall.

You know that saying, "You can't have your cake and eat it too"? Well...Ive decided that if you find someone who gives you cake, lets you eat it, and plops a big 'ol helping of your favorite ice cream on top...well you better hold on tight cause that's true love right there!

I LOVE to cook, but I cant guarantee that it's going to taste alright. I Think cooking is like life...sometimes it's sweet, sometimes it gives you heartburn, and sometimes it's just plain 'ol bitter or burnt. But every once and a while, you make something absolutely scrumptious. ..May your life be filled with good cooking days!

Break established my bestest. I think I've been to the Whitlock residence everyday this week. And I even got ragged on for talking to Matthew too much on the phone...ooh well. You cant please everyone!

If I had to pick someone to talk to on the phone for the rest of my life, or assure me things would be alright, Matthew..it would be you.

If I had to pick someone to send me good directions, Brittany...It would be you.

If I had to pick someone to say things sweetly, Jenny Mae...It would be you.

If I had to pick someone to dance with, someone's refrigerator to raid, and someone to lounge around on the dock with, Abby Leigh...It would be you.

If I had to pick someone to direct downtown to an amazing restaurant ON MY CAMPUS, Kristin...It would be you.

If I had to pick someone to argue with but somehow manage to make me laugh no matter how angry I became, Joshua...It would be you.

Send Me Amazing for the New Year

Well I must say, every year Momma cooks up a big pot of black-eyed peas. They are supposed to be for good luck. So every year I eat one pea...except for the year I broke a mirror...I ate a whoppin 2 individual peas...that's hard work when you hate beans!

What better way to get over a hang-over than to drink it goodbye? Guess that was Aunt B's mentality when she gave me a couple shots of Foreign Rum from Mexico or the Bahamas.

Nanny and I had wine tonight...I dont like Pinot Grigio as much as my boxed Franzia White Ziphendel but it was alright :) ...You know Im kidding...Nanny had a sip and I had one glass with dinner--I cant drink by myself.

I really need for all the favorites to be together for next year's New Years Eve...Crunkfest 2007 is what we'll call it.

I love Cobbler but it would be better without the fruit.

Nanny and I talked about the war...it's just so interesting to me. I love all the previous eras except my own...somehow I don't fit. ...Sarah and Phranky swear I was meant to be a flower child...or part of the 50's where Chip and I could go steady. hahahaha!

So anyway, Nanny worked in Charleston at the Navy Shipyard...she worked in the office but they (the ones that hadnt been drafted yet) repaired broken ship machinery. She met her first husband there...he was the boss. hmmm....they were married only a short while before he got shipped out. She went to Mississippi and New York on different occaisions to visit him. I dont know why they divorced, but he did stay in Europe a couple years after the war.

Hi. You make me smile. You're reading my blogs. You poor soul! You must be bored!

Ive decided that 2008 better be amazing. Im vowing to be a better friend and not backstab and lie so much, I'll even work on my first impressions. Im gonna try and not care so much, that way maybe for once I wont get hurt...and Im really going to try and not be Debbie Downer and cry to you about all my problems...we'll just see how I live with all this lol

I must say, we better stick with our plans tho...our roadtrip to New York better happen. I need to see a broadway play. I think we're entitled to a couple Beachweeks or weekends...Im getting drunk as a mofo and Im swimmin with the dolphins, and you're coming with me!
