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...

the best part about the fall for me is all new episodes of my favorite tv shows...and if you're a tv junkie like me you know how important and exciting it is to have new episodes...lol...i guess what makes the most since is to go day by day like my girl cait did over at finding my balance...she added fancy pictures and everything to her fall tv preview...but im not that cool...sorry...haha!

the list

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!


1) JENSEN ACKELS



2. BRADLEY COOPER


3) TOM WELLING

4)KELLEN LUTZ


5) A BACKSTREET BOY (i realize that im cheating a little bit here but its okay...haha)

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?
