I am not...

I am not a cool kid. I've never been. I pretty much prefer to do my own thing and let the chips fall where they may. I am however very guarded. People ask why? I've been stabbed in the back and "screwed" (pardon my language) many times. Ya ya that sounds cliche. But no really. It took me many years to realize that some people just don't have your best interest at heart. So I've learned to just play it close to the vest until you find that you can truly trust someone.
I'm also not a people pleaser. Gone are the days when I tried to make everyone happy and not step on anyones toes. I've realized that sometimes what you're going to say and do might be interpreted in a negative way, and that's okay. True communication is sometimes lost in translation and perception. There's no need to try and be perfect. Too much stress on yourself never has a good result.
Not sure why I chose to write about this when there is so much else going on in my mind? Maybe a subconscious way to vent? Maybe?

Gym Dude

There's this guy at the gym who may be one of the most obnoxious people ever! The first time I saw him there he had a "big gulp" cup that he kept leaving everywhere. Not to mention his cell phone...lots of people are attached to their phones, but those did not sound like work calls.
Second time I saw him he was using free weights that he kept leaving all over the place.
Ever heard of common courtesy? Fraid not.
There have been a few visits in between then and now, but maybe the most annoying thing:
I swear he was following me around the gym! Seriously he would switch equipment when I did, and move machines to run, bike etc next to me.
Straight weirdo!

Live from my bedroom...it's Saturday night

Yep, that's right peeps. It's Saturday night, and I am at home! By choice of course, but I can 100% guarantee that round about 11, I will have definitely wished to be out somewhere....doing something. Anything. That's how I roll. I convince myself that organizing closests, bills, junk drawers all day on a Saturday is a great idea. Then I run errands and convince myself to go home and relax. Then I respond to all calls/text invites, with a polite "no thanks, i'm heading to bed early." Followed by consuming lots of junk and catching up on the dvr.
But...alas I will get tired of watching the happenings in Port Charles and Pine Valley, Joel McHale will tell several mediocre jokes and I will almost convince myself to throw on some clothes and head out.
Not tonight. Tonight i'm perfectly content to stay home and do this:

New Blog

I just created a new blog...I was getting torn between writing about the "me" stuff and writing about my love of tv (reality,) Rob Pattinson and all things pop culture.
This should solve the problem! Check me out! http://thetwizone.blogspot.com/

Things On My Mind

It's been a busy day...drove down to Tennessee with mom. Pretty uneventful drive, just making great time in my A4!
I'm thinking I need to keep better track of my letters to Ellen. I've already forgotten some of them...yikes it's only been 4 days!
I'm thinking I definitely need to get on the diet and workout come Monday!
I'm thinking a move by the end of the year is HIGHLY likely...
There's so much more, but i'm getting sleepy and i'm reading Midnight Sun on a different screen.
Oh and I went to a Wal-Mart (gag!) here in White House, TN to get my copy of Twilight, which was the MOST i've EVER paid for a dvd. Yikes and Goodnight!

Letters to Ellen


So i'm into Twilight. Actually i'm into Robert Pattinson. My four nieces and nephews so his name...they're 9,7,5 and 2 just to add a little perspective.

Today I stole an old Entertainment Weekly from my dentists office because he was on the cover. This cover over here to the left!
So anyways in my quest to meet him (I just want to ask him to lunch. No pressure) I started a letter writing campaign to Ellen. She makes dreams come true! I've stated to her that I will write her a letter a day until she lets me be her correspondent the premier of New Moon in LA in November!
I thought I would track the reasons I am giving her here, so that when asked I can recite without incident.
#1...it will be the best 30th birthday present that she can give me

Follow Your Dreams

So i've been thinking lately as alot of people often do, about following my dreams. I mean everyone has something they would really like to do...be a pilot, a nurse, a clown. What do ask did I want to be? A news reporter. To be more exact, a sports commentator. The funny thing is (or not so funny) is that I never pursued it. I went to college and was a Journalism major but switched to Communications after the first year. I can't even remember why I switched now? Must have been a "really good" reason at the time?
Well these types of decisions come creeping up when you least expect them. In my case it's the year I turn 30 (oh no!) and for the first time i'm really asking the question "what am I doing?"
I sort of feel like i've missed alot of opportunities to follow my dreams especially when it comes to career choices. So when does it become time to "hang up" those dreams and focus on what you're doing right now? I mean as much of a good thing I have going right now at work, it's not what I want to do long term. It's not even what I want to do in the next six months!
So as I continue to dream and most of all execute those dreams...anyone have any thoughts on the subject?

Robert Pattinson

I can't take it anymore! Not Edward Cullen...Robert Pattinson or pee in my pants R Pattz as I like to call him. I get that Edward is a character and quite honestly I don't like mush and EC is a little mushy, so it probably wouldn't work out for us. But Robert...sexy, charming Robert! What I see is his endearing charm and vulnerability that seems so sincere. My goals for '09 have suddenly come to include an insatiable desire to meet Mr. Pattinson. What can I do to make that happen?

Twilight

I really considered starting a new blog where all I did was talk about Twilight. Not just Twilight, but New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Maybe even a third where all I did was talk about Robert Pattinson? You see these books have opened up a new world for me. Maybe this sounds lame, but I know there are alot of people who would say the same. I had been getting bored. Bored with the tv (my favorite thing ever) bored with going out (which I loathe and love simultaneously) and hadn't read a good book (unless you count chick-lit as good) in forever.
So here comes another weekend...my brother and I have been going to the movies once a week for as long as I can remember. We were off to see Four Christmases which I was pretty confident showed all the funny parts in the previews, but we went anyway. Well it was lame. the funny parts were in fact in the previews. Unsatisfied he suggested we see Twilight. I can now shamefully say I was hesitant. I'm not one for sci-fi. Sci-fi this was NOT. I loved it! GRIPPED immediately moment by moment watching Edward and Bella and Emmett and Rosalie and Carlisle and Alice and Esme and yes even sorta creepy Jasper and super dumb Charlie. Don't get me started on Jacob just yet, there will be plenty of time for that.
So back to my new favorite thing to talk about; TWILIGHT!! I love it. I love the story lines, the characters and yes now i'm loving the actors maybe not Kristen Stewart so much, but i'm not drinking the Kristen haterade just yet...
Fast forward 3 or so months and now i've succumbed to blogging about it. Better for you than listening to me whine about other non-important things:)))
