It's so hot here!

Hello hello,
Well it is extremely hot in california today. I haven't been sleeping much because of it but id rather have hot and sunny then cold and rainy weather out here. Tonight I am going to go and see Twilight Eclipse at midnight with a whole bunch of friends...literally a whole bunch. 15 of us to be exact. Ha I know crazyyy! Now Im not a twihard or anything like that. I read the books before they became super popular and the movies aren't that bad but i feel like im doing a tradition since ive seen every movie at midnight.

Now lets talk about makeup. For the first time in a while I work black liquid eyeliner and winged it out and wow did it look good! I got so many compliments on it! I'm def gonna be doing that more ofter. Today, once im done cleaning and what not, Im going to be trying the look for this months Allure cover. I really like the look so I am going to try and do it. I posted on my twitter that ill do a tutorial if it looks good. Also I plan on wearing lipgloss or lipstick...alot...I never really wear it and I am now making more of an effort to do so. Lets see how this goes.

More Writing!!!

Hello hello,
Well I have good news. I am now going to be writing for the online magazine Suite1o1. They accepted my application early this morning and I've already submitted my first article for them to review. I have started out doing articles in my normal style, beauty, but i think I'm going to be doing even more. I'm really good at games and things to do with the Xbox 360 so I think I'm going to be showing more of my inward geek. I will still being doing some beauty on Suite but my main beauty articles will still be on Examiner.

Feel like I've been gone.

Hello,
I feel like I haven't written in a while. Now when I saw written, I mean anything! I haven't been on here, I haven't done anything on Examiner and I haven't added anything to my story. I have been a little busy with work and all but i feel like that isn't an excuse. I mean I want this to be my life, so I should take a chunk out of my day and just dedicate it to writing. But the reason I haven't done my examiner writing is because I did a tutorial and I had to re-edit the video I did. Now this take a while. So that is a good reason for not being on there. With my story...I'm just trying to decide where I want my characters to go. Usually when I write its on a note pad or something, so I can easily change what is going on with the story but I'm writing it live and ever chapter I sit and write and then post for everyone to see.

So I'm going to start making more of an effort to write. Now I have to go get ready for my job and then call it a night. :)

New and Improved!

Hey all,
Ok so I haven't been on here in quiet some time but I have new and exciting stuff to tell everyone! Lets see, ok well first off I am finally 21! Woohoo! Yea there would be confetti and stuff flying around now if I could make it possible. Anyways. Yes I am an official adult now. I had a wonderful birthday. So many surprises! It was great!

Now for even more exciting news.....dramatic pause...I am a freelance journalist! YES! I finally have a writing job. I am so excited! I've had this job for almost two months now and it is absolutely wonderful. I write for Examiner.com as their Northern California Beauty Expert. Cool right? I write about hair, makeup, nails, skin, anything to do with making yourself look wonderful! I'll provide a link late so you guys can check out my site and leave cool comments and what not. Also I have a Youtube account that goes along with my examiner account because I sometimes do makeup tutorials and show people how to do their makeup, so ill provide that link as well.

Ok lets see next...I helped publish a book. Yep :) It was part of one of my college coursed. We did a book that contained short stories, poetry, artwork and photography and I was lucky enough to be on of the Editors in Chiefs. I loved that class and learned so much from it, I really don't know how I got so lucky with it. Or how to book was so successful! I actually got it sold in a real life bookstore. Amazing!

Ahh I feel like I have so much more to tell everyone but I just can't think of it right now! Oh well, I need to go get ready for my other job. Ha! But leave me comments and check out all my other pages, it would be wonderful :)

Ok so I'm a little mad and this has been bothering me for quite some time now. I work at a grocery store and one if my main jobs is to check someone out. Now in California we have EBT and WIC items and that's for people who need a little extra help each month. I think it is a wonderful idea because I see a lot of people using it and getting what they need when they need it. I think WIC is wonderful because without it people are spending hundreds of dollars on baby formula a month, I really don't understand why it has to cost so much.

Well lately I've beens eeing these people who have WIC and EBT cards that I don't think deserve them. I mean how can you be in so much finical trouble if you can get your nails done every two weeks? Thats atleast sixty dollars a month that you can be saving yourself. Then you help them out to their car and they are either driving a BMW or a Tahoe gas guzzler! Another problem I have are the people who live their lives on EBT and WIC, they continuely have kids just so they can get a free ride in society.

To be completely honest, I am so tired of it. Why do I have to give a portion of my hard earned pay check to them. Obviously they aren't trying to change their fincial situation because if they were they wouldn't be getting their nails done and they wouldn't have fancy cars. I just don't understand why our government doesn't look more into things like this and actually sees where these peoples money actually goes to. I bet a lot of those people wouldn't be on EBT and WIC if the government actually paid attention to them every once and a while.

I Never Really Understand...

Guys. I don't get them. I wish I knew what was going on inside their minds sometimes and what causes them to think stupid things. I cannot tell you how man times I talk with a guy and find out that something is up with a girl he is diggin on and when he expresses his problems to me, I just have to look at him and shake my head. Then you try to help him and tell him advice but there is no point because he doesn't listen to you!

Aye, so yes this is all emotions that are bottled up inside of me. Yes, I might have a guy I was sweet on and had this happen to me. And yes, it sucks. It sucks cause you see a person you care about going through sometime tough and you try and attempt to help them and it hurts when they don't take your advice. It also hurts to see a guy you like trying to win the love of some other girl that doesn't deserve him. In moments like this I do two things. When I'm talking to the guy I play it cool, try to help him any way I can. When he is gone or doing something I just break down and cry. I don't like doing this but I just have to because its good to get your feelings out and not bottle them up inside.

Ok...well I just wanted to get that out. This blog isn't for my mushy gooshy love life. Ha. Thanks for listening to my rant.

You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?

Good evening all,
So it's time for a little rant. The last few days have been numerous activities that have just pushed my buttons and now I am going to let it out. First my phone. I hate it, a lot. I have the LG Chocolate and it sucks, it sucks a lot. This is my second Chocolate because my first one decided to just stop working on me after a year and now this one won't charge. I've only had this phone for maybe a month and it isn't charging and it's just annoying me. Most people who know me will tell you that I live off my phone, I am consistently texting and calling people, its my life and I know people get mad about that but sorry live with it. I use to be able to wrap the phone charger's cord around my phone and let it charge and now I can't even do that. I literally have to sit here with the phone in one hand and the charger in another and pray to the holy Gods that if I hold it to right way it will charge. I really need a new phone. Badly. I keep looking at the pretty pink Blackberry and sigh because I can't afford it. One day I will but for now it's the junky Chocolate for the win.

Second. My Xbox. This is another incident where if you were to ask someone they will tell you that my best friend is the Xbox. Technology is my friend let me tell you. I live for my Xbox and yes a lot of people think it is sad, a twenty year old girl playing video games. Well its more then that, its a life line between my best friend and I. My best friend lives 2000+ miles away in the lovely Ohio while I am here in California. People would think why not just talk on the phone? Well after a while that gets a little boring. With the Xbox we can sit and play a game of UNO together and chat about our day, just like we would do in real life. Ah see get my gest now. Ok. Well its not working! I'm thinking the sever is down but that does not make it ok cause I was actually in the middle of a nice conversation with her and some friends.

Third. My Mom. Ok. So I've been getting a talking to about going to sleep at a decent hour. For me thats really hard. For the most part I've never really gone to bed before three in the morning. Why? I don't know. I don't sleep much and I guess I never will. My Mom is getting angry with me because she calls my phone, which is garbage, and I don't wake up to it. Now she is use to me being about to hear is ring through my dreams and having me groggly picking it up. Well ever since night crew I have not been able to do that. Now that school is about to start she wants me to stop staying up late and actually going to sleep. Sadly thats not going to be happening with me. I don't see the problem with going to be at three or four am and waking up at eleven am. I don't start class until two pm and I know I won't be going to work before that time. Atleast I'm not like some people and sleep until three in the afternoon.

So taking a book from Peter Griffin's book I will say this. "You know what really grinds my gears?" Well its my phone, my xbox, and when sleeping is invovled, my mom. And with that said I am going to go and get a milkshake a learn one of my favorite Fray ongs on the piano. Until next time.
