a facebook story

ummmm, there's something i should confess. though i rarely ever get hit on, when i do...the same two conditions always exist:

a) they are physically unattractive and/or weird&dorky

b) they fall madly in love with me and propose future marriage

as in, they always say, "i'm going to marry you one day". true story. like, there's a list. now clearrrrly, i've been in a relationship with nicholas for four years (and they know that) but when a crush develops, they fall hard. i don't know why or understand it. but for real, it happens. (four times, in case you're wondering).

why am i telling you this? because i used to work with a guy (years ago) who was really easy to talk to. we played the dots game together during slow hours. anyways, he was kind of a computer nerd (like, makes his own websites and will probably be rich one day) and yea, he liked me. and no, i'm not vain - he told a manager that "we had a connection" and he "was waiting for me to leave my boyfriend". soooo fast forward to a few days ago. while on facebook, i noticed that he asked friends and family for feedback on his new business website. out of curiousity, i looked at it. and found a hell of a lot of misspelled words! i submitted my feedback and complimented his site for looking nice and professional, to which he responded..."Thanks Sam. I appreciate it." or so I thouuuught.

you see, umm, here's the awkwardish part. i receive email notifications when people comment on certain things and therefore, his response(s) to my comment were received via my inbox. and though "Thanks Sam. I appreciate it." is what appeared on Facebook, I discovered he had first sent the message below (deleted it) and then posted the visible response. ohhhh snap! and whaaaat. he's totally a nice guy and we actually got along really well. so seeing this was flattering in a "cute" way. though totally shocked me at first! let's put it this way, if things don't work out with nicholas and this dude does in fact become a millionaire, i'm down. hahaha. don't judge me.

dexter and dart

my boyfriend has two mutant-hybrid animals known as chinchillas. they look like some weird combination of a rabbit-rat-squirrel, and i mean that in the cutest way possible. though a little strange at first, they're pretty loveable cause of their soft fur and funny antics. you see, chinchillas are nocturnal animals that are endlessly in motion, jumping to high ledges in their cage or running in their wheel. and everything in their cage is edible because they like to chew. but the best thing about chinchillas is how adorable they look when eating. and watching them take dust baths! ahahahha. {video coming soon} while at nicholas' house the other day, we took dart and dexter into the bathroom, a small, safe, but mostly confined area for them to play in and laughed as they flipped and flopped and turned us into their personal jungle gyms. afterwards we spent some time with his dog sonic, who's really old and having health problems. it's sad, she's a sweetie.

hallo errrbody!

watching the creepy medical scene from E.T. in the park

this past weekend, my bff brittany mentioned that the mt.p waterfront park was showing E.T. on an inflatable screen and suggested we go. a few phone calls later, we had a group of participants and a handful of blankets to lay on the grass. not only did i get to eat boiled peanuts and cotton candy from the various vendors at the event, but i also got over my fear of the movie's "hospital" scene. thankkk goodness.

afterwards, everyone met up at dan's apartment to play the big taboo. as always, girls won! then, we moved our game piece back to the space the boys were on...and beat them again. relentless.

this is when i successfully guessed "p.m.s"

one of my very favorite movies is Penelope. i watch it all the time. not only is there comedy and a love story (and a "learn to accept yourself the way you are, rather than trying to be what other people want" message) there's also this whimsical quality of the movie that i looove. i mean, have you seen her purple peacoat with colorful buttons down the front? cutenesss. not to mention the scenery and accompanying music. gah, i just love everything about this movie. including reese witherspoon. who just so happens to be one of my very favorite actresses (and also one of Penelope's producers). but quite possibly my very favorite thing in this very favorite movie of mine is the rope swing in her bedroom. an absolute must-have in my future residences. i am not joking around here. havetohaveit! and if you haven't seen this movie, watch it. you might not have the same fondness for it that i do, but you will like it. for sure.

this hairstyle rocks. and her wardrobe and vespa, too.

she's a teacher...how cute is her classroom?

ahhh...i die for this.

aquatic breeze

i can hardly contain my excitement {yes, i look crazzzed ahaha}

ohhh! i forgot to tell y'all...

one of my customers at work left this nifty fan on my table

last weekend. yup, i remember because it was a little girl's

birthday and she was really excited!

but they never came back for it, sooo finders-keepers!

not only is it really pretty and fun to play with,

but it's also practical cause it folds up real conveniently

and can be stashed in my purse for hott outside times.

whoop whoop

self-explanatory

this is a tweet i wrote earlier:

and these are the future tour dates that are within reasonable driving range...atlanta would be the best, but it's on a wednesday which will not be compatible with my fall schedule. orlando would be sweet cause we could go for the weekend and hit up an amusement park. i seriiiously must go see paramore live or i might literally fall into the darkest depression imaginable. i mean, probably not. but i would sell an internal organ to be at a paramore concert. just imagine the energy! so who's going?

p.s. can you tell i just learned how to take partial screenshots?

yea, i'm pretty stoked about it.
