Gaga

I'm not usually one that will write about current events, or celebrities.   More than anything, I feel like it's because you can get that anywhere, and also, opinions of current events, or stars, or celebrity gossip sometimes can lead to misinterpretation and people can be offended, or it may stir up some silly arguments.  But, I decided that today I wanted to switch it up.  I was excited to see Lady Gaga on the cover of Cosmo.  Those magazines can sure be a kick in the pants sometimes...they get your attention by putting some scandalous title on the cover....and then the story is seriously 1 paragraph.  Oh well...I was, just excited to read"Love Advice Only Gaga Would Give."

Did you know that Lady Gaga is only 24?  I didn't.  One thing I like most on her face?  Her beauty mark below her right eye.  I have the same thing. Right below my left eye.  And I love her very prominent nose.  I love prominent noses period.  Very sexy. Up until the MTV Video Music Awards in September, I thought she was crazy.  I refused to want to like her.  But then, something in me was like "She's pretty fucking awesome." Yes...sure she wears some crazy ass costumes, but that is her job....she's an entertainer.  She rocks my socks.

I love her motivation, and her steadfastness even when people told her she'd be nothing.  And now...she's everywhere.  She says in her Cosmo interview "Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams...if you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career or dreams will never wake up one day and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore." While I believe everyone has to find balance between dreams, careers, friends and romance, I also tend to agree with what she is saying.



She has a tattoo in the inside of her left arm...who knew she was so deep to want to put something like this permanently on her body.

'In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer, and ask yourself, must I write?' ~Rainer Maria Rilke

Happy writing.

being single

 I restore myself when I'm alone.~ Marilyn Monroe

This is the longest I've ever been single, in my whole adult life. Wait....no actually, in my whole life. Even as a kid, and as a teenager, I had boyfriends.  Ask my parents, and I even had Aaron as a boyfriend in Kindergarten.   I love, LOVE.  I love the feeling of it, the excitement of new love, I love having a companion and someone to share my life with. To call in the middle of the day, to just say hello.   Although, I am not ready to settle down yet, I still miss the feeling of being a part of a real couple.

But, in some instances, you can be lonelier in the wrong relationship, than you can ever be when you are single.  I have been in that situation.  I have to admit, that being single is one of the most self-discovering times of my life.  And one of the things that I love about being single, is all of the possibilities that I get to explore.

I have too many friends right now, that are in the wrong relationships, and either don't want to get out of it for lack of companionship with another man, they think there is no one else out there for them, or because they don't want to hurt the other persons feelings, all the while forgetting about themselves in the process. 

But, I also have friends....Thank you Dilla and Johnnie..who gave up on love, stopped the search, and now have found a man of their dreams, who treats them right, who carries on conversations about life moving forward, together, and of a world that they both want to be a part of. 

This is my 100th post since starting this blog.  And since starting it I am still single, but loving it.  One of my goals...(sort of) when I started this blog was to find the man of my dreams within a year, and although it may or may not happen .....(I still have 5 months)  I'm enjoying my life being single.  I've got the freedom, that until now I never had.  I've dominated my own home, taking care of myself, and bills.  I feel happier than I've felt in my most recent years.

I am a single girl, and in the words of Imogene Lloyd Webber "A single girl is undoubtedly in possession of a good fortune, as she has the freedom to lead the life she wants".

boyfriend alert

Happy February!! Month of LOOOOVEEEEE!!!!

I love to flirt.  I do, I'm not ashamed to admit it!!  I have my whole life, it's harmless, and not messy, and in the end you usually can walk away with a smile on both of your faces.  I love flirting in person, ESPECIALLY with bartenders....seriously.  On the phone, online, in texts.  I keep it clean....mostly.  But the other day, I was texting, and this guy who I text on and off, says something that made my eyes get as big as silver dollars. He said...."You are the something or other in this relationship, and I am the other something or other."  EEEEK!!!

I let it slide, talked to Dilla, and she was like "Run, run as far away as you can." So, when he said it again, I called him out fast...."Relationship?!!  Don't go saying things that get me running for the hills now."  He quickly replied..."Oh, that isn't what I meant, I mean friendship relationship." He apologized, and quickly changed the subject.   PHEW!!!  I hope so, because this single girl is no where near wanting a boyfriend, or needing one for that matter.

I am really liking this single girl life, catching up with my friends, making new and GREAT friends, planning trips, and doing what I want for myself, for once in my life!!
