Happy Halloween

So last night was the Halloween contest at the Junction, and as you may guess from the picture I was a pirate, argh! And let me tell you it was an interesting night. It started off well, not to many people in costumes, in fact it was just Scott and myself for a LONG time. Then people started to show up and Scott got more and more drunk. Things got very interesting around 1:30/2:00 these very weird boys started hitting on me and a girl named Daisy I was sitting with and offered to buy us drinks and let me tell you usually I would accept any free drink, I mean who wouldn't?! But these boys... Scary, the one had a mullet!!!! EEWWW I am sorry I just can't take anyone seriously with a mullet. Any way my slutty friend Daisy accepted with an already half glass of beer. So as 2:15 rolled around and people were trying to entice us to stay til 3, you know fall back, it happened. Daisy got up, some how hit the full glass of beer, broke it and the entire glass of beer went all down the front of me!!! And let me tell you I was soaked! And I recked of beer and was getting sleepy, so at that point I am like we are leaving... Now. So we drove home, made a few drunk dials, got Taco Bell and then the funny stuff. So Daisy's getting out of my can and is forgetting everything! As Daisy was shutting the door I see her sandals in by the door so I yelled to grab them and then look around for more paraphernalia and I saw a wallet in between the seats, so I yelled again, and handed over the wallet, then I found cigarettes in the same area as the wallet, you catch the drift. It was special.

Anyway for all of those who didnt figure it out, here's a picture of Daisy! OOO BABY! Break me off a piece of that! hehehe I love you Daisy!

Here Comes the Bride

So my brother and my sister-in-law just got married tonight! YEAH! It was really pretty and fun and a tons of people, well most of my family and hers and some friends and it was just great! hehe

The wedding was at my family's church in downtown Saginaw. We had about 60 people show up, majority of my side of the family was there and a bunch of Sarah's family. We had some simple decorations ( the fun bells that you open up) on the pews and then my mom order a bouquet for Sarah and then her sister and I were bridesmaids and we each had a rose and some others little flowers.

Then we had a little bit of a reception at Timber'a Bar and Grill. We reserved one of their rooms and crammed everyone in. Sarah's parents bought them a cake and we all ate drank and had cake.

Then Rob and Sarah came back to our house and opened their gifts and some of their cards. And headed home to Lansing around 11:00. So all in all we are relieved, less stressed and exhausted!!! So only a few more stressful days and my brother and his wife ( that sounds strange) will be in their new apartment in California. More pics coming soon.

"Plus Size"

*WARNING: IF YOU ARE A BOY THIS MAY NOT BE VERY INTERESTING TO YOU *

So halloween has always been a time of confusion for me. I always expect great ideas to pop into my head for costumes, parties, etc. But always I am left with a week to go and no idea where I am going or what my costume will be. This year seemed to be going the same way. I have been searching online for the perfect costume, but let me tell you when you are a big girl the costumes, once you find them, either cost $100 dollars or are the ugliest things you’ve ever seen! And let me tell you there are some plus size costumes that just should not be seen... by anyone... EVER! I mean I can hardly explain the "sexy plus size" costumes I ran across on the internet! Yikes! which leads me to the main message here... some poor miss guided girl thinking she is a size 2 when she is really 22, fitting into these costumes and going out in public. it's just wrong. know your shape and what you should and shouldn't wear.

And this leads me to the bigger issue, I think. What is it with the "oh she’s +14 she couldn’t possibly have any style" Let me tell you that’s not true! There are few store that sell plus size Young Adult (18-25) trendy clothes. It’s just impossible. And the fact that some skinny girl can walk around with her boobs stickin’ out and guys think it’s hot but when a girl my size with naturally large boobs wears a low cut top and it’s gross. What is wrong with society? I mean when you look back in history painting depicted women with substantial... everything, were a sign of beauty. And in nation where the average woman is at least a size 12 why is being skinny such a big deal. And then you have the people who are a size 2freaking out becuase they have a "roll"... excuse me that extra flesh that you are pulling from yourbody...NOT A ROLL! Get over yourself. Until you have a roll that sticks out without pulling, then and only then can you say you are fat, not before.

Issues with Sleeping

So I’m not sure what’s going on but lately (the last three days) I have found it impossible to fall a sleep at a decent hour. Granted the usual decent hour for me is around 12:30/1 am but lately it’s been 3/4/5 even. And then waking up for classes at 8. Last night I had a great talk with Noland online at round 3-4 which made me start thinking about why I may not be sleeping. And frankly there are several things that might play into it.

One ever since Sarah and I haven’t been friends I have been rethinking how I have treated people in the past and how I made judgements about things I bought or gone to do, and in all honesty some of them in hindsight were not the best decisions. But that’s the thing about hindsight site isn’t it? You don’t know until after. Like Noland pointed out those "maybe" bad choices were mine to make and Sarah and I, when we were friends, always had fun together and they were good times. I can’t forget that... maybe that’s why I’m not really bitter... well maybe a little.

The other thing that could explain sleep loss is the fact that I have been sick for about the last week and a half and I am finally getting over the sucky-ness. And during that time I slept all the time, was drugged up, and was lazy beyond belief. So now is my energy finally catching up with me? Since I was so used to little sleep is my sleep timer on overload? Who knows... I just know I want to sleep!

And last but certainly not least the problem/situation that I have yet to really deal with, because I have been sick. My brother, my only brother, the guy I am closest to in my life (sorry Scott) is moving even further away than he does not. He has just gotten a great job out in California and is moving out there ASAP. I am not kidding! He got the offer Monday and they are moving out there before Nov. 1st!!! Where is my adjustment period?! My chance to visit him tons before he flies across the country? The other thing as that now he and his fiancee are going to do a sort of shotgun wedding... not in the sense that she’s knocked up but the fact that they are going to get married before they leave. Talk about stressful! And you know then I think about how I feel and then think about what they are going through or my mom... she’s hiding it well, but how long can that last. I have a feeling it’s all over at the wedding. Everyone will be crying for one reason or another. And I am so sick pf people being like "well think of it this way, you have a great reason to go on vacation to California" Anyone who has had family move far away knows that, that’s bullshit. I am still trying to save money, unsuccessfully, to visit Noland, or my friends Scott and Julie, and they’ve all been gone for at least a year! But like everything in our lives God only gives you as much as you can handle, right? Well this time he’s getting pretty close to the breaking point.

So that it. The hidden monster that is stopping the sandman from coming to visit.

PS this is most likely the longest blog I will ever right. I haven’t the time! ;o)
