what is it with guys?

In life., random., relationships on July 15, 2009 at 5:00 pm

the ones that want you, you dont want back, and they never can get the hint.

the ones you want, they dont want you back, but they still lead you on so you continue to look like a fool.

and when you both want eachother, there always seems to be something or someone in the way.

at least times like these always leave you with some stories…

“You live your life based on what you want, and as long as you continue to be an independent, strong-willed, confident, fun girl, there should be no problems. And if he so happens to compliment your every day life, so be it.”

bad news for me.

In boyfriend. on April 27, 2009 at 12:22 pm

since i was old enough to date, i never thought that long distance relationships ever worked out. i don’t remember exactly where i got my information from, but i just knew – long distance = not possible. so right then and there i decided that i was never going to be in one. a person should be able to see their partner on a daily basis to hug them and kiss them and talk to them. just having that face to face contact with a person is a huge deal.

jump X number of years later and here i am, finding myself in a long distance relationship. normally i would have said no right off the bat, but this one was different {they always are}. he is everything i could want in a boyfriend: hilarious, outgoing, sweet, family oriented, a little dangerous, etc. so i thought, “hmmm… i don’t want to lose him so lets give it a shot.” the long distance thing only lasted for about 3 months so it wasn’t that big of a deal. i knew when it would be over and sort of had that ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ to keep me going. so when we found out that he was going to be living about 4 hours away for the next 3 years, things got a little more complicated… Read the rest of this entry »

about 3 weeks ago my friend Korrie and I heard about this event called the “barn dance” at cal poly. we decided that it sounded like it could be fun and went to check it out. we paid the $5 to get in and spent the first two hours, about with 100 other poly students and friends, learning 4 line country line dances…challenging but SOOO much fun. then, for the following 3 hours, until midnight, even more people came and just danced like crazy to great country songs =) there was all these different types of line dances, along with the two-step, the cha-cha, and a bunch of other couple dances…

we enjoyed going to the barn dance so much that we started going to the club in san luis obispo when they have western night on thursdays – more lessons and dancing! if we keep going, before you know it, we will finally know all the dances. 

korrie and i are even considering joining the cal poly line dancing club now! you learn all the dances, pay a really small fee for the whole year, and get in free to all the events…WIN WIN!!!! =)
