Mix Tape

Hey everyone! I am getting a fair amount of views every day which I really appreciate, thanks! Anyway, my sister is turning 18 on August 19th and then she is heading off to college. I am making her a mix tape for her birthday which is oh so classy! I am falling short on songs, but here is what I have so far:

Piano Man
500 Miles
Roll On
Les Champs
Down by The Sea
Your Song

Any other ideas? I need at least ten songs for a solid mix tape.

Thanks

Dark Side

Ok, admit it, you all knew I wouldn't make my nail polish holder. I actually did look for a spice rack at some thrift stores but have yet to find one, and I promise I will keep searching. 

I hope you're wondering what the title to this post means because it is somewhat obscure. The title is a reference to Kelly Clarkson's current hit song, "Dark Side." When me and my sister first heard the song we were in a giddy mood and laughed at how scary this song really sounded. Here are the lyrics to the beginning

There's a place that I know

It's not pretty there and few have ever gone

If I show it to you now

Will it make you run away

Or will you stay

Even if it hurts

Even if I try to push you out

Will you return

That is just the beginning, and personally if I were the person she was talking to, I would not return. Anyway, we instantly started planning a music video and invited our friend to do it with us. After a week of hearing the song we all started to actually like it.
Here is the video

Pinterest

I am addicted to Pinterest. If you have ever been on that website, you can see how I would get addicted. I spend most of my time looking at DIY boards and have found more than 100 projects that I plan to work on. I have yet to start one...
Anyway, today I am starting my first Pinterest project! My sister and I both have a large shared collection of nail polish. We like to create designs on our nails in our spare time, thou our nails stay un-polished for most of the school year. Our collection is currently resting in an old Crocs bag. We usually stuff it all into a tiny wire basket but I found and idea on Pinterest that will give us a place to put our nail polish!
here it is

it is an old spice rack that has been painted.

And that is what I am doing today! I promise to post pics of before and after

Netflix!

I love Netflix, like I said in my previous post. I highly recommend it. These are my favorite TV shows on Netflix that I have watched with my sister. (Not in order)

Grey’s Anatomy

Roswell

Lost

Desperate Housewives

The Vampire Diaries

Kyle XY

How I Met Your Mother

Pushing Daisies

I have enjoyed them all. If you are looking for some TV shows, check these out.

Men I like from these shows (because I know you really care, and I am a teenager):

Dr. Shepherd (no brainer)

Max

Charlie and Desmond

None from DHW

Stephan

Kyle

Ted

Ned

It is way to hard to watch a show and not like any of the men. DHW was entertaining enough to keep me going without an adorable man.

Ah-Men

Men are adorable. I am completely accepting of those women who like women, and those men who like men, and the men that like women, but personally, I am a fan of the men. It is a fascinating concept of who you like. In fact a common truth question in the game of “truth or dare” is often, what you like in a man. Well friends, I have never ever had an answer to that question other than their personality. (According to many of my friends, personality is not included as a trait) So, I finally came up with several things that I look for in a man.  You want to know now don’t you? Well, surprise, you have to wait till the end of this post to see what physical traits I am interested.

My sister and I love to watch TV shows on Netflix. I will post later what shows we like, but anyway, we like to admire that sexy and cute men in these shows and wonder if these people exist in real life. (Yes, is the answer to that question) Kelly and me have very different tastes, but always support each other with who we like. Kelly for one, is into the scruffy sexy men, where as I am into the clean cut sweet men, who have the ability to grow out there hair and let me see a little sexy in them. It’s quite great because we rarely love the same men, but we both kind of love each other’s. I don’t know if that is clear, but Kelly and me get along pretty dam well when watching TV shows.  So yea, just wanted to share that with you all.

Answer to the truth:

I like men who are medium sized or short (I am short so tall men are tough) I would go for a tall man if he were fantastic. I like dark hair, preferred to blond but again, no real preference. I love all eye colors. Honestly, I have never been on a date (yes I am almost 17) so I really don’t care about looks.

Well, thanks for stopping by. I hope you are all faithfully reading, but if not, I appreciate that you showed up today.

Men I like from TV shows will be on my Netflix post

Toast To The Future

Hey everyone! I hope you are enjoying this new blog location. Now when I scream at you to comment you actually can! Hurray! Anyway, yesterday I went on a walk/hike (4.5 miles) with my family. My parents were talking about who knows what, and my sister was ahead of the crowd. I was left with my busy mind to create conversation. I talk to myself in my head a lot though, so it was enjoyable. I thought about what my future would be like, and did the classic fourth grade thing where I planned out my house, and career. So, I would like to share it with you!

Once I get out of college at UIC (my current choice of college) I will move into a small apartment on the second story of a two-story building. My apartment will have one bedroom and a small kitchenette; I will also have a teeny space for a television and a couch. I will get into more detail on that later.

In college I will have earned a BA or perhaps a MA in Nursing. I will be an RN (registered nurse), which is the main point. I will have learned to be fluent in Spanish by using Rosetta Stone, so my resume will get me further. I feel it is important to know a second language when working in a hospital because it will help a ton with communication. The people who hire me, will agree. Anyway, I will apply to be a nurse at Children’s Memorial Hospital in downtown Chicago. Since the nursing career is being more and more necessary, and since this is my imagination, I will quickly be hired after a few interviews. I will start working in general pediatrics, and work my way up to being full time in the pediatric oncology unit. I will start work at seven in the morning and work till four or five in the afternoon. (Since this is my imagination, I do have the ability to choose my hours.)

On some evenings I will head over to IO (Improv Olympic) and watch the shows. I will have worked at IO during college, so I will have a show discount. In college I will have also attended theatre classes and have experience with acting. When I watch the shows I will work on joining an improv troop so I can perform in the evenings. I will be sure to notify my troop that I cannot travel due to my full time day job. They of course, will understand and perform out of state without me.

Every so often I will have a day off, and on that day, I will invite over my friends from Nursing, and my friends from IO. We will all mingle, and eat nachos while watching a game show.

When I am not at IO I will go out, or stay home and watched episodes of the latest TV show on Netflix (By then Netflix will have TV shows the day after they are aired.)

I will ride the EL train to the hospital and will read the current news on my IPhone while riding. I will be caught up on current affairs so when I do a show at IO or talk with colleges I will be completely educated.

The end!

That is my plan for several years when I move on from college. My plans are sure to change, but from my junior year, this is what I hope will come. I will post more info on my apartment later. I hope you enjoyed reading about future me.

 If you read this long post, I thank you kindly.

From Blogger, to Tumblr, to Blogger again

So, My last posts have all been transfered from my blog on Tumblr. I switched to Tumbr to increase my views because it is a poppular site, but today I returned to blogger because I learned you can not comment on posts on tumbr. You can only "Like" and "Re-Blog" things. Which is weird. so yea, I am back in black or shall I say, back in blogger!

I hope to see people around on here, it was a violent switch because i was getting so many veiws, but we shall see how this turns out. I love all of you who are here, check out my posts to see what you missed.
