Many people ask, "how come you are not dating?! You are so great!!"

To them I say thank you. But I also wondered. So I started asking men why I am not dating.

After much polling this was the most common response: because I am intimidating. Why? I love my job, I live alone, I bought a car, and I have opinions.

I might as well have a forum for my many many opinions.

Welcome to my brain.

Its just one of those Sundays

It has been snowing a lot

Today myself and my two roommates
went out to leave for church..
we started scraping her car...
and then 30 seconds later came back in
got in Pajamas,
baked a cake,
and watched a movie.

Sometimes you just can't go out when its snowing.

Its our other roommates birthday.
I love birthdays.
Mostly because there is frosting involved.

We went to Chilis last night.
I will never go to Chilis again.
How on earth can someone make a
Chicken Caesar Salad spicy?
They did it.

But it was fun.
Because I have fun friends.
And even when eating bad food...
Its still fun :)

this post probably wont strike your funny bone.. but thats life.

I just wrote this really negative post about how much I don't like Idaho.

I deleted it...

Mostly because I am having a pity party sitting in my living room by myself.
And because you guys don't read this to hear my sorrows and woes.

I worked out tonight.

I am convinced
I don't get the happy endorphins
that people claim to get from working out.

I enjoy reading while working out.
It makes me somewhat forget
that I am doing something I dont like.

I also enjoy eating ice cream after I work out
But unfortunately I dont have the funds for that.
Also...
people tell me it defeats the purpose of working out.
I say to them...
Wouldn't it be worse to not work out and eat ice cream?

I miss the Sunshine.

interesting thoughts for tonight

Welllll..............
There is currently a bunch of clothes on my bed.
They keep getting moved from my bed in the day time...
To the floor at nighttime.
I need to hang them up.
I can't seem to make myself do it.
Its a problem...
to say the least.

I worked out tonight,
Some of you may be shocked.
I went all by myself...
with a book. So i had company.
After working out.
I went and got ice cream.
Why?
Because.
Doesn't it defeat the purpose of working out?
No.
How?
I dont know, it just doesn't.

Im working on becoming more approachable to people...
for casual conversation...
and meaningless chit chat about the weather...
I dont really know how to accomplish this...
It's not like I walk around with headphones in my ear...
I really dont.

I went to a party last night
by myself.
And then I left 10 minutes later.
I think it's because I am socially awkward...
And I dont know what to say...
So I make really dumb jokes and people stare.

I had a dream that I was dating this one guy
(no names remember?)
And instead of my friends in real life
My friends happened to be the cast of F*R*I*E*N*D*S
And Rachel and Monica were yelling at me
because the guy I was dating was not good

There are certain pieces of music
that I listen to and it fits my mood
perfectly.
It amazes me.
Usually Ingrid does the trick.

I must be losing my mind...
maybe...
you have a sweet sinful smile...
im in trouble...
cuz you turn me upside down...
and around...
and around...
and around...

sadly those Ingrid lyrics aren't accompanied by a thought of any boy at the moment...

Oh Valentines Day...

There are two types of people in the world...

Those who love Neil Diamond...
And those who dont...

Ha. Just Kidding.

There are types of People on Valentines Day...

Those who:

-are in love, and are receiving undivided attention from their significant other.

-those who are in love that aren't receiving any attention because their significant other forgot
(as if the red and pink everywhere for the last 14 days hasn't been a big enough hint)

-those who have no one, and complain about it all. day. long.
(ok people. we get it. your alone on this day of love. we dont care)

-those who try the entire month of February to get a significant other to share this oh-so special day with, and ultimately fail...
because you know what they say... (and by they i mean the people who have found love)....
"you'll find that person when you least expect it!"
(I have a slight problem with that... for many reasons.)

-and those who are single... who get a Valentine at work from the little first graders... and that makes their whole day :)


Side note to the Universe.
This is Valentines Day 101 taught by Alex.

After sitting in the Library tonight, and hearing the negative views on Valentines I had to stop and wonder...
Why are people so unhappy on this day of love and coupling?
Is it because they are not at the moment coupling with anyone?
I was ironically proven wrong by a young man who happened to be married.
He was complaining about Valentines Day, because he felt, as I am sure many others feel, that this day is merely a day to make single people feel bad
(which is a weird reason to celebrate something....)
and to have the boys in relationships DOTE on their girls.
He was appalled at how many guys were at the store buying roses and chocolates... when he saw no girls.
(I think its because guys don't appreciate roses and chocolates as much as girls... but I digress)
He claimed it was a day where
guys are merely striving to stay out of the "dog-house"
by being the uber-best boyfriend or whatever you are to your significant other.

I disagree.

And I can say this...
because I am single,
and the best Valentine I got this year was from a first grader.

Here is why I disagree.

Because its not the big extravagant things that girls want on Valentines Day.
We want to know we are thought about and appreciated and cared for.

Still dont believe me?

Let me put this question out in the void...

What is a girl more likely to cherish...

A hand crafted Valentines Day card
made especially by the loved one,
that looks so sweet,
and has sweet nothings written inside.
OR...
A store bought card

NOT THAT I AM SAYING THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH A STORE BOUGHT CARD.

But...
to all of those guys out there that feel the need to spend uber amounts of money...
and then complain about it...
Just a little tip....

We dont need the expensive. We need the love.

But.
This is coming from a single girl...
and we are untrustworthy and flighty.

So who knows anymore.


It's Been Awhile

Sometimes I wonder why people make blogs.

I mean seriously.
They are just like online diaries.
I have a hard enough time keeping a pen and paper diary let alone an online blog.

Well, I read the blog posts so far, and I have to say...
I'm Pretty Funny.

Ha. Just kidding.

I do, however, feel as if the cold weather in Idaho may be freezing my charming and witty personality.

I feel funnier when I am warm.

That makes no sense.

Maybe it does.

So... I went to a dessert party tonight.
Can you Imagine my surprise when the party was lacking in dessert?

I mean seriously people.
Lets have a dessert party and not have dessert?!?

I am still baffled.

I was in good company though....
Not to be confused with the movie "In Good Company" starring Topher Grace and Dennis Quaid.
