obsession
i have noticed that i become addicted to things pretty easily (not bad things...no worries)...it could be a tv show or a book or a game or even blogging...i find myself trying to squeeze in every possible second to satisfy ny need to do whatever it is im obsessing over at the moment...and then after a while i start to lose interest...lets take a look at some of these things...
blogging~> last year around october novemberish i was blogging almost everyday...how was it possible that i had so much to say?...i probably didnt have anything interesting to write...i just put down anything so i could say i blogged for the day...i was obsessed so i did it...i had to...but now i kinda just write when something comes to me...i dont try to find stuff to talk about...its just what comes out...
games~> these addictions dont last as long as some of my other ones but if i find a game i really like i feel like i constantly need to play it...i started playing bejewled blitz on facebook and loved it...i even downloaded it to my ipod so i could play it on the train...so i pretty much play it all the time...i think im almost over it but not yet...there have been many games like this over the years...
tv shows on dvd~> if i start watching a series on dvd thats all ill watch...all my other shows fall by the waste side...there have been times that i have stayed up way later than i should have because ill say oh ill just watch one more episode...and then 3 episodes later im still saying just 1 more...when i was a senior in college i watched all 10 seasons of friends in about a week over my winter break...thats crazy!...i mean really...who does that?!?...right now i am obsessed with survivor!...right after last season was over it was on sale on i tunes so i bought it...i never really got around to watching it but then the other day i decided hey why dont i watch some of this again...of course i couldnt stop until the season was over...(yay jt!...he's totally my survivor fobo!)...now i want to buy another season...but i dont know which one...anyone have any suggestions???...
twilight~> last fall i was completley obsessed with twilight...i gave up my morning nap to read...i couldnt wait to get out of work just so i could continue reading...and then the movie was coming out and i need to know everything there was to know about it...i absolutely LOVED all things twilight related...i even blogged about it every tuesday...then after all the hype died down i kinda forgot about it...of course i went to see new moon on opening day this year but i wasnt nearly as excited for it...so of course im still a fan of the whole twilight saga but im not going crazy about it anymore...
backstreet boys~> this is my longest lasting obsession...of course its more intense at times than others but i think its the one obsession i will never get rid of...ive been a fan since 7th grade what can i say...they are my all time fav and ALWAYS will be!!!

bad week in reality tv
it seems to happen every season but unfortunalty this was the week that all of my favs were sent packin...=(...it all started with last weeks survivor samoa...lets take a look back shall we...
upset #1~> survivor samoa~> i had a hard time picking a fav this season cause lets face it no one can compare to jt from last season (rumor has it that hes gonna be on next season villian vs heroes)...anyway after a few episodes erik started to grow on me and became my fave...things were looking good for him...her found an immunity idol...he had a tight alliance of 4...he was strong and smart...and he seemed to be leading the group...buddytv ranked him number 1 going into the episode...then all of a sudden there was a merge and everyone decided to blindside poor erik...i guess ill now root for brett...
upset#2~> dwts~> can someone please explaain to me why kelly osbourne is still in but aaron carter got voted out on tuesday night...she had 1 good week and then it was all downhill from there so is terrible...why is she still in???...aaron was so good!...i think some of the judges (carrie ann) were way too tough on him...and why did veiwers not like him so much...i just dont get it...aaron should still be in the competition...i am so over this show...unless kevin richardson shows up on the roster for next season i dont think i will be tuning in...
upset#3 ~> sytycd~> first of all this is not the best season yet...and i think it cane on way to soon after season 5...they are trying way too hard be great for the fall but in doing so they are losing everything that makes this show great...so after saying that i think it was a big mistake sending peter home last night...while i think jakob is by far the best this season, peter was totally my favorite!...also i think he had the best solo of the night (very smart tapping a capella)...what was so great about ryan's or kevin's solo that kept them there over peter? huh?...i was actually a little embarrassed for ryan when he attempted that back flip...it was just awful...and another thing that gets me fired up is that people are all kinds of upset that karen and kevin were in the bottom...i didnt think their dance was that awesome...i thought it was a little boring...not as bad as nathan and mollee...oh god...that salsa was horrend!...they def should have been in the bottom...so anyway...im really upset about peter...i really hope s6 turns out like s4...its quickly headed down that road...oh boy...
hopefully this week turns out better than the past week...it all starts with survivor tonight...

please dont ask me
today at work we were chit chattin per usual and the the following exchange happened:
the group mom: i tell my daughter if someone takes a sip of her drink to just give it to them...shes gonna get mono if she shares
cool girl: i bet you tell her not to kiss the boys too
group mom: thats right! shes only 12 shes not gonna be kissin any boys anytime soon!
cool girl: i think she will...how old were you when you had your first kiss?
group mom: oh i was old...after high school...
cool girl: what?!? i dont believe you!
group mom: its true...i was a tom boy...lets ask sports guy how old he was
cool girl: hes gonna say he was 9 haha!
this continued on for a while...and the whole time i was thinking oh god please dont let them ask me...thankfully they didnt...and that should have been the end of it...i should have just been happy i dodged that bullet...but was i ? of course not!...
i kept thinking about what would have happened if they did ask...what was i gonna say???...i could have lied and made up some random age but im not good with lying so that out...i would have had to say something clever like "i dont know yet" or "hold on, let me check my crystal ball"...and if they caught on then good for them but if not oh well...cause no way would i have been able to come right out and say "ive never been kissed"...that is an extremely hard sentence to say for me...i dont think i have ever sad it out loud...i always kinda allude to it by saying things like "i'm josie grossie"...its even hard to write on here where im pretty sure everyone who actually reads this already knows that pathetic little fact about me...i dont know why its so tough...maybe its because its something i want sooo bad but cant seem to get...oh well...*sigh*...
well anyway im gonna keep my spirits high...it will happen one day...its gotta...so there is no use being depressed about it...and ill keep my options open...=)
p.s. new guy will be back in jersey during his winter break...bff has plans to hang out with him...i told bff if im not invited out with them that night then no more free dinners!...so lets all keep our fingers crossed!...haha!!!

how i almost met howie d!
first i would like to start of by apologizing to my little blog for the neglect i have been showing...i didnt mean to...the time just slipped away soo fast...and i tried to write a review of "this is us" (the newest backstreet boys album) 3 times and they all got deleted so i guess it just wasnt meant to be...in cause you were wondering i think the album is pretty freakin awesome!...everyone should go buy it right now!!!...haha...
okay so let me get to my story which is also backstreet related...what can i say? its been 12 years and im still obsessed...i just cant help it!...haha!...
last weekend (not the one that just passed, the one before that)...i traveled with little sis down to charlotte nc to visit our little tiny cousins...or at least thats what we told people...we did visit them and stay at their house but the real reason for going to charlotte was to go to gravedigger's ball featuring none other than the backstreet boys!!!!!...
to our surprise the princess met up with us and was super excited to go to the concert...(its surprising cause shes not as big of a fan as little sis and i are...back in the day she didnt even have a fav so we assigned her one...haha)...whats even more surprising is that prince charming(the princess' fiance) came as well...i think they were more interested in the halloween party aspect of it...but whatever it doesnt matter...before the show i had to warn prince charming that he's going to see a whole new crazy side to me...haha...but then at the show the royal couple didnt stand by us so its all good...
the concert was sooo good!...the only complaint i have is they only sang 6 songs...what the heck?!?...well at least its double the amount the sang at beatstock...right?...and who am i kidding i would have wanted them to sing more if they sung 50 songs...i can never get enough...
so the next day little sis and i woke up super early and my uncle brought us to the airport...we got in line at the check in and we were chit chatin per usual and thats when i saw him...HOWIE WAS STANDING ABOUT 10 FEET AWAY FROM ME CHECKING INTO THE SAME FLIGHT I WAS ABOUT TO...on the inside i screamed...AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!...but on the outside i grabbed little sis and said "oh my god...its howie!"...after that my brain pretty much stopped working...we were freaking out!...its like a dream come true...
we proceeded to check in and then we went to the gate...little sis decided to go up to him...but when we go to the gate he wasnt there...so we waited for him to come over...when he finally did i couldnt move it was like i forgot how to walk or talk ya know basic everyday functions seemed impossible for me to complete...lol...so little sis left me behind and went over to talk to him...but as soon as she got there they started boarding...so she only had time to get his autograph...its still awesome...the only thing i cant understand is why were we the only 2 people on the whole plane who knew who he was???...
so of course i chicken out again...what is wrong with me???...when i tell people the story they always say "i cant believe you didnt talk to him"...and to that i say "really? really? you cant believe it? do we not remember the lack of words exiting my mouth whenever new guy was around? if i couldnt say anything to some stupid lifeguard what makes you think i would be able to say anything to my number 1 all time fav??? "...
i really wish i went over to him with little sis but i didnt and whats done is done...*sigh*...but its still pretty cool just saying he was on my fight!!! yay!!!

gee thanks mom
this happened a few weeks ago but i wasnt ready to talk about it yet...but guess what...now i am...
so i was driving home from the shore with my mom and we got into the never ending debate about me being invited to the princess' wedding with out a date...the wedding is still 3 years away but this argument comes up every time anyone talks about it...i think that i should be invited with a guest...its not like im just some random person going to the wedding...its my sisters wedding and im most likely the maid of honor...while if im not in a relationship i probably wont bring anyone but i would like the option...my mom says its a waste of money to bring someone just to have a date...so this argument was the catalyst for everything else to come...
i said to my mom...you have no idea what its like to be chronically single...(the last time my mom was single was when she was 15 years old...and thats not including "casual dating" that happened before that...she didnt even have any single time in between my dad and the boyfriend she had before him)...sometimes going to a wedding by yourself feels like a slap in the face...its not fun...its borderline depressing...its just highlighting what everyone else seems to have except for you...
here is where you would expect a mother to say something encouraging...like dont worry you'll find someone who will love you for exactly who you are...or any guy would be lucky to be with someone as awesome as you...and proceed to tell me how awesome i am...
is that what my mom did?...absolutely not!...she said: well guys only like thin girls...and youre too shy...and you need to go out more but people dont invite you out because you dont drink so its your own fault...and she went on and on pointing out every single thing that im insecure about...aren't moms supposed to make you feel better about yourself when you're feeling down???...not worse???...or is that just on tv???
then the best part is when we got home i just brought my stuff upstairs with out saying anything...so she yells up to me "oh your not going to talk to me now?" like she did absolutely nothing wrong...so i said "what do you want me to say ma? thanks ma for calling me a big fat loser and pointing out how craptastic my life is!?! i really appreciate it!"...yeah def not...i still dont think she realized how much she hurt me...its def not fun when everything you question about yourself is pointed out by someone you love...maybe this is why i have low confidence with boys...my mom said that they arent gonna like me and i believe her...ugh...
dont get me wrong...i love my mom and i would do anything for her...and i know that she loves me and would do anything for me...its just that sometimes she has a funny way of showing it...

anyone who is a fan of friends like myself will remember the episode where ross made a list of the celebrities it would be okay to cheat with...kinda like a free pass...so i decided to make my own list...even though i have no boyfriend so it really wouldn't be cheating at all...so maybe for me its more of like a dream list...haha...
while thinking who i should put on my list i started to wonder if i should waste spots on the list with married men...because lets face it ashley from jersey isnt going to be on any of their lists...lol...but at the same time its a dream list so who cares...and its not like im gonna get it laminated like ross did...haha...
this was way harder than i thought it would be cause i heart a ton of celebs!

2ge+her!
this weekend i watched 2ge+her for the first time in years...i forgot how much i LOVE that movie...there are sooo many funny lines in it...i just can get enough...haha...is it really bad that i can quote just about the whole movie?...it brings back so many memories...like when my freshman lunch table had 2gether quote of the day (every wednesday was buttload day!)...or when i played roller coaster tycoon with my cousin and everything in our park had a 2gether related name...haha...good times, good times...for those of you who dont know about the awesomeness that is 2gether, i'll now provide a quick summary:
the movie starts out with this guy bob bus and the band he manages called whoa!...whoa! then fires bob bus...hes upset for a little bit but then discovers jerry o'keefe...bob takes jerry to meet some record lable guy and that guy says no one wants a solo artist, what the world needs now are boy bands...(this movie came out in 2000 right at the hight of the boy band craze)...so bob says perfect ive got a boy band...so the record lable guy booked them a gig in 7 days...too bad bob didnt have a boy band...so pretty much bob had only 7 days to find 4 more members and train them...and the fun ensues from there...bob already had the heartthrob (jerry)...so he had to find the shy guy(chad), the older brother figure (doug), the rebel (mickey p),and the cute one (qt)...next came the training (knuckle down time)...this is def the funniest part in the movie!...let me stop here cause i dont want to give away the whole thing...lol...
i recomend to everyone to watch (or rewatch) this movie a sap...if you dont own it on vhs (thats right vhs...haha...) like i do, you can find some clips on youtube...its definitely good for a laugh or two or in my case a buttload of them...haha!...now ill leave you with some of my fav quotes!
"a buttload? how much is a buttload?" "a thousand dollars..."
"driving 30, driving 30!"
"that is lockdown"
"oh qt you're the best looking member of 2gether"
"you aint no gangster"
"robins egg blue, thats my color!"
"i was still trying to contribute to the group by making as many lazer noises as humanly possible"
"i like the yellow one"
"these things go on water?"
"pretty much, yeah"
"i love him ALWAYS, i love him like a brother"
and there are tons more!

can i get a do-over
with the summer quickly coming to an end i look back and i wish i could rewind to the beginning and start over...sure i had tons of fun...
- i went down the shore almost every weekend...
- i started hanging out with my girl k dubbs...
- i got a nice tan...
- i went bowling...
- i watched a whole bunch of movies...
- i swam in the ocean, a real pool and a blow up pool...
- i made s'mores...
- i saw backstreet boys in concert...
- i wished on shooting stars...
- i slept outside for the first time ever...
- i did way more than my fair share of laughing...
- and whole bunch of other fun things...
but all of this is just more of the same for me...the one thing i want more than anything never seems to happen...and im not just talking about new guy...while that would have been a dream come true, any guy would have been good...the sad part is i know its 1000% my fault...i say i want a boyfriend and yet i do absolutely nothing to make it happen...how can i be that stupid to think that prince charming is just going to knock on my door...
its all an evil cycle really that i cant seem to get out of...i feel like an idiot due to my lack of experience in the boy department...this translates to zero confidence and fear of rejection...which leads to me not even trying...and then before i know it another year passes by without any change...so i feel even more like an idiot and the cycle starts all over...i gotta get out!...but how???...and dont say oh just get out there and meet new people...yeah its easy for most people to say but for me, not so much...i cant just get out there...i have social anxiety and i have it bad...
ugh...i hate being all "woe is me" but its just so frustrating to want to change my life but not be able to...even if i did get the chance to redo this summer knowing everything i know now, it would probably end up the same exact way...obviously life doesnt provide time travel so it is what it is...
but what if i could change the past and actually do things differently...i def would not have made all the mistakes i mentioned before...maybe just maybe my biggest problem right now would be that my brand new boyfriend just moved to hawaii...haha...oh how i wish...haha!!!
oh well...all i can do now is try to change moving forward from this moment...lets see if i can...fingers crossed...believing i can do it is half the battle, right?

beatstock
i want to start of by saying HAPPY TUTU BIRTHDAY to the princess!!!...i love you and i hope youre having an AWESOME day!!!
i know beatstock was a few weekends ago but i just realized i never talked about it here so here goes...
i went with little sis, little one, and k dubbs...on the way there we sung old and new bsb songs really loud and obnoxiously...haha...k dubbs filmed us doing so...so if youre lucky enough to be my facebook friend you may want to avoid those if they make it on there...haha!...when we got there it was about 90 bazillion degrees...ugh...way too hot...and then we went in but the gates to the theater werent open yet so we were squashed with about a million other people in the waiting are lets call it (cause im not really sure what its called)...
so when we where waiting there in the crowd some tall guy was pushing through then stopped right by me, stared at me for what felt like forever, and then goes "hey how are you" like he knew me or something...of course i was friendly back but i had absolutely no idea who this guy was...but then after he walked away i realized that he takes the train in the morning with me...it was just really bazaar cause he's never said anything to me before that nor has he said anything since then...but at the concert it was like we were old pals...maybe we should be pals...or maybe more than that...he is pretty cute...who knows maybe concert guy will even replace new guy for the time being (probably not but maybe)...hehe...
back to the concert...lol...the gates finally opened and we were herded in like cattle...we got a decent spot on the lawn...all of the acts were pretty good...the concert was for ktu so its all dance music which is always fun!...i was pleasantly surprised when crystal waters came on...i totally didnt realize she sings party in the ghetto AND 100% pure love!!!...i dont think the high school kids in front of my knew either of those songs but i do and i was super excited that she was singing them!!!...haha...
onto the reason i went to beatstock in the first place...backstreet boys!!!...they were AMAZING per usual...but im not gonna lie...i was a little disappointed that they only sang 3 songs and wasted one on i want it that way...its a shame that iwitw is their most popular song because they have WAY better stuff than that!!!...yeah so after they were done we left...and thats it really
oh and for anyone who was wondering...new guy was not at the compound when we got back...oh well...like i said last blog...i gotta move on...lol...

time to move on
before i get started i have a few administrative things to take care of...
1) d val has requested a name change...so from now on she will be refered to as f.u.n. (not to be pronounced as the word fun but as the 3 letters)...
2) i've been mia for the past week cause i've been getting on the later train where i run into wet hair girl,one of my morning train friends, so we chat...i finally found out her real name yesterday and i found out that i had my very own cool name, coach bag!...haha...
3) right now im squished on the train and i cant decide if ill be happier in the car with no ac...ugh...im so annoyed...
now onto the real entry...its time to move on
i think i should stop obsessing over new guy...he's gone and wont be back until next summer...i cant just sit around waiting for something with zero chance...and plus i blew it big time anyway...he probably thinks im a weirdo...lol...lets take a look at my mistakes shall we...
first~> i put bff on the job...i def should have put f.u.n. on the job from the begining...she has a high success rate...she had a chat with brian, he then started dating steph, they're still together 8 years later...last summer she had a chat with bff, he became little sis' boyfriend, and they are still super cute together...and while i cant see into the future it looks like shes working on rr for my girl k dubbs...i wouldnt be surprised if they get together by the end of the summer...
next~> i probably should have been a little more specific when i said to k dubbs "i dont care what you say"...cause i do care...it would have saved me a little bit of embarassment
last~> my brain completely stopped functioning when he was around...its like i forgot how to form sentences...so while im pretty smart in real life when he was around i was like an idiot...haha...
those were some pretty major mistakes wouldnt you agree?
so it may take a little bit of time but im gonna get over him...its def something i need to do if i want to lose the stupid josie grosie status before i turn 25...if i wait around hoping it will be him i wont make the cutoff...my birthday is in may...he wont be back until june...it just doesnt add up...haha...although k dubbs told me she had a dream that we were all in disney for my birthday bash and new guy showed up to surprise me...haha...oh how i wish it was true...well disney is the place where dreams come true...right?!?...haha...
oops sorry for the tangent...im really gonna move on...i promise...well maybe ill keep new guy in the back of my mind...just in case...lol...

the one year plan
well here it is folks...the official one year plan...or oyp for short...
before i get into the details let me explain where the oyp originates from...as i said in an old post or two new guy is moving to hawaii for the school year...so that means i have 1 year to prepare for when he comes back next summer...(i know technically this is a one school year plan but thats just too much of a mouth full...so thats why im sticking with the nice and easy oyp)...
there are also a few disclaimers...1)while new guy is my inspiration, i am still doing these things for myself...2) this is not set in stone...plans can change...=)
so onto the oyp...
1) USE MY GYM MEMBERSHIP...i know i say this one all the time...but maybe if i keep saying it i will start to listen to myself...i really think this is a key component to the plan...maybe if i was just a little tea cup instead of the whole pot, i would have more confidence in myself when it comes to boys...the problem is that i think that guys wont even give me a chance...and this may not be true but its what i believe to be true...so to avoid the rejection i think will be there for me i dont even try...im sure its all about the confidence and right now i have none...(wow sorry about all the whining...i wanted to make this a fun silly entry but i had a rough day today and i guess its being reflected in how im feeling about myself right now...ugh...lets try to turn this ship around shall we...)
2) LEARN HOW TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT...this is something i have always wanted to do...if i want to go on the amazing race it is a very important skill to have...the reason this lands a spot in the plan is i was actually talking to new guy last weekend and he said he like girls that can do guy things like crab or fish or drive a stick shift...i already know how to crab (put bait in cage...throw in water...walk away...come back in a few hours...pull cage out of water and youre done...lol...)...i really have zero desire to learn how to fish...so driving is whats left...and i can totally learn how...if my mom can do it then anyone can...haha...
3) WORK ON MY SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS...yeah so the goal here is to feel less like an upside down cow (level 5) in social situations...if i can bring my awkward level down to turtle or flag pole (level 1 or 2) then i'll be happy...this need to be on the list because it took me 3 encounters with new guy before i said something more than just hi...and even then i still didnt say much...leaving my box that i live in is easier said than done...
4) this last one is completely out of my hands...HOPE NEW GUY DOESNT GET BACK TOGETHER WITH THE EX-GIRLFRIEND...i did get confirmation on the break up but shes still moving with him...so you never know what could happen...i see one of two things happening...he'll realize how much he loves her and they will eventually get married...or he'll realize that he really cant stand her and never talk to her again...obviously im hoping for the second one to happen...haha...aww poor girl...oh well...haha...(i just want to be clear that if he does end up completely in love with this girl that would be the end of the line for me...i do not pursue unavailable guys)...
i think thats about it...its a pretty lame plan but its my lame plan and i like it!... the ultimate goal is for him to be my date to my friend's wedding next summer (that is if im invited with a guest...i may not be you never know...after all my own sister isnt planning on inviting me with a guest to her wedding why should i expect a friend to???)...and of course for new guy to become my bofo instead of just my fobo...haha!!!...
well until next time kids...happy blogging!!!

2) LEARN HOW TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT...this is something i have always wanted to do...if i want to go on the amazing race it is a very important skill to have...the reason this lands a spot in the plan is i was actually talking to new guy last weekend and he said he like girls that can do guy things like crab or fish or drive a stick shift...i already know how to crab (put bait in cage...throw in water...walk away...come back in a few hours...pull cage out of water and youre done...lol...)...i really have zero desire to learn how to fish...so driving is whats left...and i can totally learn how...if my mom can do it then anyone can...haha...
3) WORK ON MY SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS...yeah so the goal here is to feel less like an upside down cow (level 5) in social situations...if i can bring my awkward level down to turtle or flag pole (level 1 or 2) then i'll be happy...this need to be on the list because it took me 3 encounters with new guy before i said something more than just hi...and even then i still didnt say much...leaving my box that i live in is easier said than done...
4) this last one is completely out of my hands...HOPE NEW GUY DOESNT GET BACK TOGETHER WITH THE EX-GIRLFRIEND...i did get confirmation on the break up but shes still moving with him...so you never know what could happen...i see one of two things happening...he'll realize how much he loves her and they will eventually get married...or he'll realize that he really cant stand her and never talk to her again...obviously im hoping for the second one to happen...haha...aww poor girl...oh well...haha...(i just want to be clear that if he does end up completely in love with this girl that would be the end of the line for me...i do not pursue unavailable guys)...
i think thats about it...its a pretty lame plan but its my lame plan and i like it!... the ultimate goal is for him to be my date to my friend's wedding next summer (that is if im invited with a guest...i may not be you never know...after all my own sister isnt planning on inviting me with a guest to her wedding why should i expect a friend to???)...and of course for new guy to become my bofo instead of just my fobo...haha!!!...
well until next time kids...happy blogging!!!

what should i do???
saturday night i am schedualed to go to ktu's beatstock at pnc..i'm going for one reason and one reason only...to see the backstreet boys of course!...they are going to be singing their newest single "straight through my heart"...and it will be the first chance to hear even more new music from them!...i couldnt be more excited to see them...they are my boys after all...hehe!
so here is where the delema comes in...there is going to be a movie at the bay saturday night...since 2 thirds of event staff will be attending the concert as well as event staff back up and event staff wannabe (that last one's me...haha...) there isnt anyone to work the movie...so d val decided that she should ask new guy to do it...do you know what that means???...it means that hes gonna be hanging out at the compound (my aunts' house dts) and im not gonna be there...ahhh...i need to be there...i def need to redeem myself after last weekend when i was finally introduced to new guy and all that i managed to get out of my mouth was "hi"...what is wrong with me???...wait dont answer that...haha...oh and to top it off its new guys LAST weekend in jersey before going to hawaii for the year...so it is my very LAST chance to plant the seed for next summer...(for those of you who are wondering about the gf...bff claims they broke up...do i beleive him? not really but i can pretend like i do for the next week...haha...and i have k dubbs on the job of getting confirmation)
so what do i do?...do i blow off the concert and stick around for movie night?...or should i still go to the concert and hope movie night isnt over when we get back?...if i blow off the concert then the others wont go either and then there would be no need for new guy to be there...ugh...so i guess i'll go to the concert and jet out of there as soon as my boys are done...fingers crossed they're at the begining...
am i acting like a crazy person over this whole new guy thing???...i hope not but my guess is yes...haha...i dont know what to do...give me some feedback please because i need help...

sytycd s5 finale tonight!
the BEST season yet of sytycd is coming to an end tonight...the top 4 are probably the stongest top 4 ever which makes it impossible for me to decide who i want to win...so lets look at them 1 by 1...
~>BRANDON<~
he is a powerhouse...no question about it...brandon hasnt made one wrong step all season...and his solos make it clear why he deserves to be there tonight...
~>JEANINE<~
she has gotten better and better every week...she pulled off a pretty amazing solo last night...she has tons of personality...and she was in one of my fav dances of the season {{the travis contep with jason!}}...
~>EVAN<~
i was a total evan fan in the begining...but then the rest of the dancers started to out dance and out perform him...he should have gone home with janette top 8 week...and jason or ade should have the 2nd male slot in the top 4...but whatever it is what it is...he's still awesome at his broadway style jazz...
~>KAYLA<~
white lightening has been pretty flawless all season...she was in my other fav dance of the season {{mia's addiction peice with kupono}}...i think shes great and i really dont have anything bad to say about her dancing...
so all in all im hoping brandon or jeanine wins tonight...i wouldnt be upset if kayla won either {{but i dont think she will}}...i would be slightly dissapointed if evan pulls off the win...just because to me it would put a damper on an amazing season...
we will just have to wait and see...tune in tonight at 8 on fox!

update...
i found out some new info related to the new guy saga...haha...i mean its not like im obsessed or anything i just like to know all the details...haha!!!
so first i got answers to the questions i asked last time...
so first i got answers to the questions i asked last time...
- k dubbs just showed new guy the text i sent her...so on the embarassment scale {{with 1 being a slight blush and 10 being never ever showing my fance at the beach again}}...i would call it about a 5 or 6...lol...
- bff didnt tell me about new guys girlfriend because he claims he didnt know...i dont know if i believe this because they sit on a lifeguard stand talking to each other ALL DAY LONG...im a smart girl does bff really expect me to believe that he didnt mention a girlfriend at all...
- my paranoia was just that...paranoia...ugh why do i have to make situations worse than they are???...haha...d val got confirmation on the girlfriend from new guy...so its true that she does exist and he did not say eesh to my picture because he has no idea who i am or what i look like...haha...well he has def seen me before but he just doent know that im the girl that sent the text nor will he ever know...lol...
- this wasnt one of my questions but its new news i found out about why none of the lifeguards came to band night...bff told them it was cancelled...what the heck bff...is he trying to sabatouge me???
so yesterday new guy was working at the bay {{which he NEVER does}} and d val went over to chat with him {{of course i was too chicken to go over there...ugh what is wrong with me?!?!}}...so she filled me in...and the good news is it seems to me that he doesnt really like his girlfriend too much...haha...he told little sis that he wants to break up with her but doenst know how to tell her...so dont you think that im right in assuming that it probably wont last too much longer...well at least i hope im right haha....now the only problem is that hes moving to hawaii in a few weeks...ugh...but its only for the school year {{hes going back to school to get a phd(well thats what i heard at least)}}...also i took some stupid quiz on facebook and it said i would have a boyfriend in 1 year...so while i would prefer to have a bf right now, i will def wait a year for new guy...haha...im sorry hes just so hot i cant help it...haha!!!!
alright so thats enough about new guy...sorry to go on and on about something thats never gonna happen...but as always my philosophy of "a girl can dream, cant she?" still holds true...
oh and p.s~> there's a NEW backstreet boys song out now and i LOVE it!!!...check it out at http://blog.backstreetboys.com/
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
*sigh* oh well
first i would like to apologize for neglecting my sad little blog here...for some reason blogger doesnt come up on my phone anymore...its so weird...but thats the reason i havent been here lately...
now onto the upset of the day...let me start from the very beginning...so it may take a while...
last blog i mentioned the new guy and how incredibly awesome he was...since then the more i found out about him the more and more perfect he became...i had myself convinced that maybe just maybe things would work out for me this time...i kept telling bff to invite him to come around and hang out with us...because lets face it if i never meet him it would be impossible for anything to happen between us...but of course bff let me down time and time again...first he tells me new guy is single...then he says no he has a girlfriend...then he says no they def broke up and new guy is single and ready to mingle...so i said excellent!!!...make sure he comes to the 4th of july party...bff said okay ill tell him to come...then 4th of july come rolling around and i say "bff, is new guy coming???" and bff says "no i didnt invite him"...what?!?!...ugh...so i told bff that i would let that mess up slide but it better not happen again, make sure he comes to band night...
i knew i couldnt rely on bff after what happened on the 4th...so i enlisted the help of d val (my aunt)...she runs band night and went a personally invited all of the lifeguards to the party...and new guy said he couldnt wait to come!!!...so i told bff that d val already invited him all you have to do is make sure he comes...so bff said okay ill make sure hes there...so thinking that he would be there i put thought into what to wear and how i should do my hair and all of that good stuff...i thought i should look nice if i wanted to impress new guy...band night started at 7...around 9 there was still no sign of new guy...so once again i say "bff, is new guy coming???" and bff says "no, his mom has kidney stones so he went home"...ugh...okay so this time not really bff's fault but disappointing none the less...but at the same time it also made like new guy just a little bit more because he gave up a super awesome party to take care of his mom...awww...
then today came...i was at work and went to our guest desk to skim through the paper and read my horoscope...it said something along the lines of if you want something from someone you have to tell them exactly what you want and not just imply what you want...so i sent a text to little sis and my girl k dubbs (bff's sister)...the text says: "...i want the 2 of you to set me up with new guy...haha...bff has failed in this task so im passing it to you...i dont really care what you say to make it happen...you can be blunt or sneaky it doesnt really matter...peer pressure just do it!...haha!...thanks in advance!!!"...i got no response from little sis but k dubbs got back to me about a half hour later with the following text: "he said 'i'd love to meet her! i mean my girlfriend is such a jealous person but i mean im actually flattered'"...so with that one stupid little word girlfriend it was all over for me...
there are still some unanswered questions...

there are still some unanswered questions...
- what exactly did k dubbs say to new guy??? i hope it want too embarrassing...
- why did bff lie to me and say that new guy was single and ready to mingle???...i wouldnt have wasted my time if i knew he wasnt available from the beginning
- (this next one is my paranoia kicking in) does he really have a girlfriend or did k dubbs show him a picture of me and he said eesh no thanks just tell her i have a girlfriend???...(see paranoia to the max)
well thats the story...and to be completely honest i didnt really think that anything would happen with the new guy...i just liked to hold on to a sliver of hope and imagine what it would be like if a miracle did happen...ya know...so am i disappointed? sure a little bit...but am i surprised or heart broken? no, not at all...

okay so...
i have a few things on my mind today...and what better place to let them out than on my blog that no one reads...lol...
first on my aganda: do you remember my post titled possible new crush?...yeah well hes out...i found out on friday that he does in fact have a girlfriend...so thats that...and he really wasnt for me anyway...but no worries because i found a new guy...and im gonna refer to him as the new guy...the reason for this is 2 fold...1) he isthe new guy im crushin on and 2) hes the new guy at the beach (the new lifeguard)...i saw him from a far yesterday and he is super cute...and deb tells me hes really nice...so i told deb to work on it for me...haha...and hes gonna be working with bff all summer so maybe he can talk me up too...but idk...knowing bff he may say something stupid and i dont want him to get annoying about it...so anyway i hear that the new guy is a high school teacher and the coach of the swim team at that high school...secretly i always pictured myself ending up with a teacher...i dont know why but i just did...so maybe thats a sign...haha...i guess we'll just have to see what happens this summer...and someone will need to find out how he feels about little tea pots...lol..
next: i just want to let you know that on thursday i wrote a super long blog sharing my opinnions on all 10 dances that were performed on the top 20 performance show...when i was finished with it i hit the clear button instead of the okay button and lost the whole thing...ahhhhh...it was so upsetting...ugh...be prepared for my thoughts on the top 18...hopefully i wont make the same mistake twice in a row...
last: i cant beleive haw rainy it has been here in jersey the past few months...its kinda depressing...if i dont keep up the slight tan i have im gonna burn again...and thats never pleasent...so lets all hope the sun comes back so it will actually feel like summer...but until then i will just have to make my own sunshine!
bye kids!

5 people i want to punch in the face
the other day i was wondering around facebook and i noticed a whole bunch of people had top 5 celebs they want to punch in the face and i said "i wanna play!"...so i clicked on the link and then quickly realized there is only 1 celeb i want to punch in the face...justin timberlake of course...ugh....hes just so ugh...lol...since i only had one person on my list i decided not to put anything up and exited out of that application...all this talk about punching people in the face and i found myself wanting to punch a whole bunch of real life people in the face...there are tons of punch worthy people at work...sticking with the whole code name thing here's a list of my top 5...
1) PRECIOUS THE 2ND (presh2 for short)...sorry but if we are at building 1 and you can figure out where building 3 is then you deserve a punch in the face...and if you talk bad about jersey you deserve a punch in the face...the list goes on for this guy...
2) THE FAT HATTER...the very first week i was there this guy said to his cube neighbor "you shouldn't be friends with fat people"...thats nice judge people before you know them...what are you 5?...also its not really apropriate to call a cfo of a company sweetie...this guy is a major creepster...good thing hes not friends with fat people...oh and i have news for you that stupid bag you carry around looks like a 5 year old made it do you really think someone will want to buy it from you??? yeah i dont think so...
3) THE KNOW IT ALL...she has something to say about everything and shes always right...even if shes wrong shes right...and if she doesnt get an answer she likes she will fight with that person until she does...and to top it off she is really really really loud...
4) FRENZY...she is just out of her mind...she is all over the place and never seems to know whats going on...how she is the manager of her group is beyond me...
5) THE CREATURE...yeah he doesnt work there anymore but still deserves a spot on the list..."er er er"..."max out your 401k deeeev"...."there are different degrees of friendship"..."late night phone call from, you know, a friend"..."you're my problem"..."i saved 32 cents this week"...the annoying quotes go on and on...but nothing is as bad as the stench...
this list is in no particular order...cause i really want to punch them all and i depends on the day as to which one i want to punch most...haha!

possible new crush...
i'm always talking about tv and celebs and stuff like that but sometimes i like to throw a little bit of real life in there...and today is one of those times...there is a possible new crush on the horizon...and while im sure nothing will come of this just like nothing has ever come of any of my silly crushes, its still fun while it lasts...ya know...
so what i gather from exploring the world of blogging is that everyone uses code names for the the people they mention in their blogs...so i guess i can follow suit...why not?...right?
let me start from the begining before i get side tracked again...when i started at my job in july of oh seven i was on the look out for cute boys...there was a few that stood out but not too many...one of these guys who i find attractive works in the same floor as me but in a different department...lets call him backpack (because he always carries a backpack)...i really didnt know anything about him...i didnt even know his name...so i just admired him from afar and that was it...
fast foward to around christmas time when LK1, who sat behind me, decided to switch departments and got a seat next to backpack...so little by little i have been finding out more info on him through her...the more i know the more i like him...but lets keep in mind that i still dont know if hes single or not...if he has a girlfriend then thats that cause im def not a lady lurch...thats for sure!...haha...
so now all i have to do is to find out from LK1 what his stutus is and if hes single have her put in a good word for me...the problem is that LK1 may be my friend but the truth is im slightly afraid of her...haha...most of the time when she talks about her new department shes complaining...i dont think she likes any of them at all...so im afraid of an over reaction from her...i know it sounds silly but if you knew her you would know what i was talking about...also if she doesnt over react and does say something to him im afraid of what he'll say...im about 99% sure that he wouldnt even give me a chance...i hear he goes to the gym like everyday...and guys like that tend to not like little tea pots like myself...(maybe its this mentality that holds me back but thats a whole other blog topic)...
well like the title says this is just a possible new crush...im still not in full crush mode but it could turn into that who knows...
i hope everyone is enjoying this weather!...have a nice day!
9 DAYS UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

i heart jt
no not that one silly (he makes me gag...ugh)...im talking about jt on survivor tocantins...duh...i was a matty fan last season but he doesnt even come close to jt in my eyes...i need to find him and marry him...lol...
the awesome thing about survivor is that you get to see what a person is truely like...its not like an actor and all you know is what their character is like and you can only guess what they would be like in real life...on survivor you see everything...most of the time it isnt pretty (take coach for instance...the man has a one way ticket on the crazymobile)...after watching about half a season it seems to me that jt is a genuine good person...i have yet to see a bad quality with him...and to top it off i usually find really strong southern accents annoying but i LOVE it on jt...the boy can do no wrong...
so yeah i hope old timbira continues to self destruct and jt continues on right into the finals...and then wins!...
alright enough about my latest tv crush...haha...have a splendid evening everyone!...

hannah montana hannah montana
as i have stated time and time again i am really only 12 so of course i went to see the hannah montana movie on opening day!...haha...since i was off from work on friday (dont worry...i didnt take off just to go see the movie...it was good friday so the market was closed) we went in the afternoon...you know what that means...matinee prices! yes!...
so onto the movie...i thought it was super cute...it was good family movie...the basic plot was that miley waas letting hannah turn into a diva, she wasnt around to see jackson off to college, and then she showed up to lily's sweet sixteen as hannah...how dare she, right...robbie ray wasnt to happy about this so he planned a trip for miley to go back to her home town in TN...and the fun ensues from there...
the only thing that upsets me a little bit about the movie was that oliver was in it for all of 5 minutes...i wish they gave him a bigger part in the movie because hes one of the main characters in the show...but oh well
speaking of oliver...just yesterday i saw a picture of mitchell and emily at the premire of the movie and i thought to myself that oliver and lily should totally date on the show...they would be a super cute couple...and last night i saw an ad for the next new episode and guess what its about...thats right the 2 of them dating...haha...anyway back to real life when i was looking at the premire pics...next i thought gee i wonder if they are together in real life...but then i scrolled through some more pics and saw some of him with shawn johnson the gymnest and current dwts contestant...so then i was like wait a second hes totally in the audience of dwts all the time sitting with her family...i dont know if this is public knowledge and im just slow but i def think that they are together...haha...why i am i so interested in this stuff???...maybe its to fill the void in my own relashonshipless life...lol...if anyone has any info on this please let me know...because lets face it i need to know...
okay so one last bit of hannah montana related news...im trying to learn the howedown throwdown...lol...its a fun little dance...its not that dificult but ive only seen it a couple of times and its alot to take in...so if i actually watch it with the intension of learning it im sure ill have it down in no time!...
well thats all for now...talk to you crazy kids later!!!
oh and on a side note: how awesome is it that its not pitch dark when i leave work anymore!...now all we need is warmer spring weather and it will be perfect
3 WEEKS LEFT UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

oh boy
so i went to the trainer on sunday...lets just say i wanted to cry...in fact i did cry as soon as i got to the car...lol...it was so bad i cant do anything...the way the guy was talking to me i felt like i was "happy holidays miss lisa"...ya know just let the really bad ones slide by because theres no hope...the worst part of the whole thing is that i barely even did anything...
started off with a plank(i was shaking right away) i got a "weak" on that one...next were push ups (haha just no on this one i told him you should just write down very weak now and save us both the trouble)...next was some shoulder tap thing (yeah couldnt do that either)...after that was a pulling thing (i got a no good on this one too but to be fair he didnt really tell me how to do it so thats why it was bad)...last we did squats (aparently those were wrong too) he said my knees go in, i hunch over, and my feet turn out...well no duh my feet turn out...if he thinks hes gonna erase 5 billion years of dance training hes out of his mind...and i dont do squats...i dont stick my coolie out when i bend over...EVER...
so in the end he pretty much said you should have a trainer all the time...sorry i'm not a billionaire...i cant spend $72 per session...i'll just stick with the free ones that come with the membership...and i dont even want to do that...now i have to back to him on sunday for my first real session...ugh...what a big mistake this was...i shouldnt have signed up for the stupid trainer...he hates me i can tell...and i dont respond well to people who hate me...
ahhh...i hope it gets better cause i am not a happy camper right now...

some people shouldn't be allowed out
last night i went out to dinner in the city for cort's birthday...on the train ride home there was a woman sitting a few rows away from us and she was just a mess...she was completly passed out...her head was hanging down...her arms were dangling...her glasses fell off into the isle and she had no idea...and to top it off she was drooling all over the place...so of course we all had a good laugh...
does the story end here...nope!...about 10 minutes after the whole drooling sitch we all got a wiff so something awful...now this is just speculation but we think crazy lady pooped her pants...ahhhhh...
a few more minutes passed by and some guy stepped on the glasses....tried to fix them...gave them back to crazy...and what did crazy do...she trew the glasses...and then proceded to throw up....ewwww....this part is not speculation...i actually saw it happen...again i must say ewww....hahaha!...
sorry if i grossed anyone out....but this story had to be told...

as a memeber of rwj fitness center i get a trainer once every 6-8 weeks...so i have my first appointment (that cant be what its called...maybe a session??? i dont know i'm clearly new to this whole lets workout thing...lol...) on sunday...i must admit i'm a little scared...i hope this guy is nice to me...i'm giggley and bubbley...if this trainer guy is super serious i dont know if its gonna work out well for me...
i figure after i meet with the trainer i'll actually have some kind of an idea of what to do...i dont want to break anything (bones and machines...lol..) so i'm telling myself that its smart to wait...
i'm going to need to set a schedule...cause if i dont i'm afraid that i wont go...so i'm thinking mondays and wednesday durring the week and at least one day on the weekend...lets see how long that lasts...i think that once i get into the habit of going i'll be okay...its just hard to start ya know...but i can do it i know i can...

smallville update
i decided not to review every season because its just too much...so i just wanted to provide a quick update...
i currently have 3 episodes left of season 6 and all of season 7 (which was shortened becuase of the writers strike)
i finally saw the episode lana and lex got married...i cant beleive i never saw it before...it was such a great episode!!!...a ton went down in those 45 minutes and now that ive seen it so many things that happened afterwards makes so much more sence...
i guess i'll let you know after i finish the whole thing...after that i'll need a new project...maybe thats when i'll really join the gym and not just say i'm going to...lol...
until next time happy blogging!

say it isnt so
this morning i arrived at work and got my stuff together and then went down for breakfast just like i always do...when i came back to my cube to eat my breakfast and read the latest articles on buddytv (my fav website) i discovered that buddytv is now blocked....ahhhhhh!!!....this upsets me on sooo many levels...not only do i go there to get all the latest info on all my fav shows but they also have all types of trivia and quizes and personality quizes and celb raters...its great...and it helps kill time on slow days...now that its blocked i dont know what im gonna do with myself...im gonna feel so out of the loop...this is sooo upsetting....
now i will have to find another website to kill time on...but i dont think there are any others out there that are as awesome as buddytv...if you have any suggestions please let me know...

pretend dance class
right now i'm listening to my pretend dance class playlist...the songs my seem random but each one is for something different...lets take a closer look shall we...
1) "untuched" the veronicas - you cant start a dance class without stretching first so i picked this song just because i like it and it reminds me of the jazz dance thayne and chelsea did on sytycd (i liked it but many did not)
2)"cheated on me" gavin degraw- another stretching song...i realized that i need at least 1 more stretching song but i haven had a chance to update the list yet...any suggestions
3) "broken" lifehouse- this is my plié song...its perfect for pliés...i love it!
4) "happy face" destiny's child- this is my crunches song...doug used it one year at tremaine for crunches so ever since then this has been my crunches song...its tough to make it through the whole song...try it i dare you...haha...
5) "panic" backstreet boys- did you really think i would let a playlist go by without putting my boys on it???...of course not...lol...well its not on there just because its a bsb song...it has a purpose...panic it my kicks song...i also use it for something else and if i had any idea how to spell this ballet term i would say what it was...it starts with dega...lol...so yeah this has a good tempo for both...you can hear it as slower for the kicks and faster for the other...
the next 6 are songs that i already have dances for...
6) "there and back again" daughtry- my solo 2008
7) "how far we've come" matchbox 20- 2008 trio with cort and cait!...if you're looking for an intense work out just do this dance a few times in a row...its a killer...but super awesome of course
8) 7:15- its the 7:15 class' hiphop mix...including "apologize" one republic, "diamond girl" r.les, and "perfect lover" britney spears
9) 8:15- 8:15 class' mix...including "dat girl right there" usher, "so much betta" janet jackson, and angels very own what we call the heavy beat
10)"boogie woogie bugle boy" bette midler- 2000 tap dance...which happens to be my all time favorite!
11)"turn me on" kevin little- i learned a short rutine to this at tremaine one year...it was taught by the fabulous laurie johnson...and it was supper hard...i still dont get it right every time...lol...
the next 2 are songs that i would like to make up a dance to
12)"storm" lifehouse- i've mentioned my thoughts on this song many times
13)"little of you're time" maroon 5- i'm not sure if i've mentioned this one before but i think it would make a awesome jazz dance
and thats it...i def want to add to this list...more stretching songs...more previous dance songs...more songs to make up dances...just more of everything really...if you have any suggestions please let me know!!!

me, a 5th grade teacher???
a few weeks ago some kid (by kid i mean like 15 or 16) from TN friend requested me on facebook...he didnt seem like a creepster so i acepted...i dont mind having more friends...after i accept the request this kid write in my wall...some thing to the extent of hi mrs benham, you were my fifth grade teacher...i didnt want to be rude and say something like kid youre an idiot it cant possible be me for multiple reasons...it clearly states that i graduated in 07 so if youre 15 or 16 you were in 5th grade a good 5 years ago...i was still in school...and then theres the fact that im not from tennessee...oh and how could i forget i am def not a MRS...a little investigation and you would have know i was NOT your teacher...but of course i was nice and said sorry i dont think i'm who youre looking for but i hope you find her...so then he writes back to me that i have the same name and look just like this teacher person...i find it weird that there is someone else out there who not only looks like me but also has the same name...but whatever i just droped it...no need to go back and forth with this kid...
i thought that was the end of the story...no its not...yesterday i went onto facebook and i had a friend request...so i clicked on the thing to see who it was...it was some girl from TN...i was like you gotta be kidding me another one who thinks im the teacher...so this time i did not accept the request but i did send a message back telling her that if she looking for the teacher its not me...
i hope i dont have anymore of these dumb kids friend requesting me...oh well i gtg...

red kryptonite
***note: sorry if you're tired of hearing about smallville but im obsessed right now so i cant help it...i become obsessed with things a little too easily...haha...
i breezed through season 2 without a problem...a key moment in season 2 is when clark finally tells his best friend pete his secret...its great for clark to be able to talk to someone other than his parents when it comes to his abilities...it also helps to have a friend on his side to help cover for him when he goes running off to save the world...
another important element to season 2 is that clark finds out about his past...he begins to learn all about krypton and his family and all that good stuff...and who tells him about all of this???...none other than christopher reeve himself...how cool is that?!?!...
aside from these pivotal plot points of season 2 i think my favorite part was the introduction of red kryptonite!!!...when clark is on that stuff he looses all inhabition...he does whatever he wants without thinking about the consequences...i know i'm super goody 2 shoes but for some reason when clark is affected by this and turns into bad boy clark i find him to be extra delish...haha!...i dont know if its becuase he makes better clothing choices (no stupid red flanal...lol...)...or if its the confidence he exudes...or if its his lack of following the rules...i dont know...but i did notice that he tends to have his shirt off more often durring these episodes...and lets be honest...who doesnt love to see tom welling with his shirt off???...i know i LOVE it...haha!...
i think thats all for now...until next time happy blogging!

the movement
this weekend was mostly spent watching smallville...but i did manage to get out on saturday night...i went to see angels show at the joyce soho theatre...
first i want to say...yay angel!...i miss his class like woah...lol...
so moving onto the actual show...i thought for the most part is was excellent as always...all of the group parts were amazing...loved the transformers and oompa loompa peices and of course everytime takyhiro (yeah no idea how to spell that) came out on the stage was crazy...chris' solo was good...hes def improving a whole lot...angel was great!...as miss lisa angel with the snakes from the peanut m&ms was funny...there were some other funny moments thrown in there too...like the guy on the subway selling candy...it was sooo realalistic...haha...and the part when chris bought the cd form the other kid...all very funny moments...
so the only thing bad i have to say is that the 3 girls were seriously lacking...they didnt do so good...2 of the girls did some type of house duo which was just dumb...all they were doing was jumping around...it was kinda like that guy with the gold mask that keeps trying out for sytycd...the 3rd girl did a contemp and tap solo...the tap part was better than the contemp part but i wouldnt call it excellent...i could have done here part and been atleast 10 times better at it...
well thats all for now...ttyl!!!

boy crazy
with valentines day quickly approaching love is in the air all over the place...unfortunately no love for me...but lets not dwell on the patheticness that is my life...instead lets take a look back and reflect in a positive way...lol...okay so there really is no positive way to put my current sitch but im gonna share my history anyway...warning: nothing has ever gone past the "crush" stage (hence the patheticness) so if you're looking for juicy info then you are reading the wrong blog...haha...
it all started in second grade...my very first crush was on a boy in my class named tom..i thought was the cutest kid in the world...i'm pretty sure lots of girls liked him...both of our moms were class moms so my mom had to pick up something from has house one time...of course i had to go with her...it was very exciting...haha...((this could have happened in 5th grade i cant remember exactly))...so 2nd grade ended and i moved on 3rd grade...tom wasnt in my class this year but he was in the girl down the streets class...she had the nerve to tell our little neighborhood group that she liked him and no one else was allowed to...that set me on fire...i was like wait a second i liked him first thats not fair...so we got in a fight about it...(i didnt really like her anyway...haha...)...of course it was completely silly cause what are 8 year olds gonna do...i mean really...anyway moving on...i hate to admit it but this second grade crush didnt go away for quite sometime...not until after 8th grade...haha...some years i liked him more than other years it really depended on how much i saw him...but thats pretty much the end of that story...like i said nothing past a crush...i don't think anyone knew that i had a crush on him for sooo long until now...
my next crush was on billy...this one was in 9th grade...while i didnt have much a reason for crushing on tom for a billion years i just did, this was different...i had a reason...i was friendly with billy but nothing to write home about...we chatted in algebra class cause he sat in front of me and we were on the same bus but that was pretty much it...then one day stupid simon was saying some pretty mean things to me on the bus...i just ignored him...but billy stood up for me and yelled at simon...he didnt have to do that but he did...and that means a lot to me...and it still does because that doesnt happen too often...i dont think anyone else has gone out of their way to defend me like that before or after that...wow i'm getting a little teary eyed thinking about it...didnt think that would happen...lol...so thats why i had a crush on billy freshman year...
sophomore year...thats when i met ralph in mr himbers english class...we ended up as partners for a project..after spending time with him working on the project outside of school is when i decided that i liked him...of course i thought it was just a phase no big deal...then the next year we became bffs...well that complicated things...i liked him even more because i knew him better and realized how much we had in common...but at the same time i just made an awesome friend and i didnt want to mess things up and mess it up...well towards the end of junior year and into that summer i started to convince myself that maybe just maybe he liked me too...((umm hello stupid 17 year old ashley...if he liked you he would have asked you to the prom...duh...haha))...i was driving myself crazy trying to figure it out so i worked up every drop of courage i had in me and told him...okay so the words didnt actually come out of the mouth but i did write a long note to him about it...and the response i got back was sorry just friends...we were still friends after that but i dont think we were ever as close as before...i dont regret telling him cause i think it would have been WAY harder to get over him if i didnt know...ya know...so that was that and i didnt really like anyone senior year so my hopes of first kiss before graduating high school went out the window...oh well...
for a while i decided that i wouldnt allow myself to crush on any more boys because it would only end in disappointment for me..so i didnt...until spring semester junior year at rider...thats when i met mike...i fought the crush off until senior year...but i never really got my hopes up for that one...i knew we were gonna graduate soon and never see each other again...so whatever...i spent 4 years of college not really pursuing anyone...and clearly no one purused me...so goal of before graduating college: not accomplished...((see like i said pathetic))...
so my most recent crush...and probably the dumbest...i really dont know what i was thinking with this one...probably out of desperation...i was turning 23 and i was panicking...and that was pretty much it...nothing more to say for that...haha...
well here i am...still boyless..or maybe i should say manless...haha...i am 23 after all...so sure my non existent love life is pathetic as i have said over and over again...but whatever it will be okay...call me josie grossie if you must but it doesnt really matter...life goes on and one day all the love i've put into the world will be returned to me...and when that day comes i will be ready...=)
