Remember when..

Before I start this post, I want to share my excitement with you guys. Because you totally care. But you should. Why, you ask? I am meeting Lauren from Lights in the Sky. FINGERS CROSSED. I am so excited, we've been emailing back and forth about my roadtrip to DC with B and then she was like ohhh hey I don't live far away. Hello blogger meet-up! / Potential double date with our boyfriends who think were probably going to get cat-fished. Ohhhh boys. GET READY FOR PICTURES. Kidding, you have like three weeks to prepare yourself. 

With my recent computer struggs (see: twitter), I have been annoyed fed up with electronics. Like don't you just remember the days when Skip-its and polly pockets were the ish? Or what about instant messenger with dial up? Or even the sims? I mean I now have the patience for ANY of them but it's fun to reminisce on products that people really don't use anymore but when they think about it they're like woaaaaaaah memories, for lack of a better expression. 

1. Blackberrys/BBM. BBM was probably cooler than imessaging is. Sorry not sorry. Only if you had a blackberry could you make it onto my list of 'peeps'. Peeps right? Yeah I probably said that on the regular, too. Also you could update your status and picture, which mine was defffffffiniatley updated always. #SelfiePrincess over here. Except I remember for a fact this picture was my icon for a while.

Yep. Went to sleep-away camp. Also had braces. Hawwwwt. 

2.Away Messages. YES YES YES. I totally used to make people's away messages/buddy profiles because I guess I've always liked to design things? (See: #3) I made sure my away messages always lined up with some bolds, italics, etc. Want a good laugh and to relive your away message days? Check out Your away message.

iM a GENiE iN a B0TTLE U G0TTA RUB ME THE RiGHT WAY<3

3. Myspace. You had to have one. You weren't cool if you didn't. Really. I mean I even did, and best part was I wasn't allowed to have one. I also designed myspace layouts on another account other than my personal. We all filled out those dreadful to look back on surveys answering questions like, "who was the last person you kissed? Would you kiss them again?", "What color are your eyes?", and "If you were stranded on an island what three things would you bring with you?" Obviously my bestie, my Beyonce Crazy in Love CD, and my cellie*TXT IT.  Yeah, this just needs to end. The Myspace era was a bad time for me. #Childhood

4. Jelly Wallets. If you have one now....shout out to you because I am judging you. I got one in the fourth grade from my boyfriend at the time. We're still decent friends. I also used to tell him I was planning our family out on the sims. Wow, Psycho girlfriend starting at a young age. Am I right???

This is us at my sweet 16. We were immitating the emojis we used when ending our AIM convos. 

5. Not even just rolly-backpacks. BUT CLEAR ONES. I had one in the second grade, and it was reeeeeally awesome. However, looking back, if I used that now I'd be embarrassed like between lady products/money/and everything else I do not want to get stolen, I guess that is why the clear-bag-trend has faded away.

Speaking of throwin' it back, here's a great picture of me thinking I could potentially end up on tumblr as one of those hipsters. Or something. CYA!

Tuesday Tunes

Freshman year. In frat basements. #Classy

Being in the car with my mom as a kid.

Things songs a bit weird, but it always relaxes me. My dad ALWAYS played this as a child, and I still love it. It makes me want to close my eyes and fall asleep.

JUST WHO DOESN'T LOVE THIS SONG. Single or not, you better be jammin'. Reminds me of summers with friends blasting it. Always always always.


Reminds me of happiness. The Lizzie McGuire Movie is my happy go-to movie!

What would you do with 20 seconds?

Alright. Think about it. And I mean think about it. 

Don't just scroll through this post like its no big deal.

Have you ever wanted to do something but couldn't muster up the confidence (Cue tears for its a Teddy Geiger 'For You I Will' reference)?

stop being lazy and do something!

Here's what I would do...

Well first let's get me out of my bed. or off the sofa scarfing down a tub of Ben and Jerry's peanut butter world ice cream. YUM. Maybe I'll somehow get the courage to be really aggressive and find a job, since my dad lives by the motto of if you aren't aggressive then people see you really don't care. 

With all this courage I hope to learn how to budget and not spend every paycheck the instant I get it (which I just did). In no way am I spoiled, I just stink at saving my money. need to learn, NOW. 

Sooooo I've gone ranting and made it from courage to Teddy Geiger lyrics to trying to tell you that I am not spoiled. If you're still here...hi! Normally don't just post about nothing interesting soooo here's the picture of the type of puppy I want.

ULTIMATELY, what would you do if you mustered up the courage to do something and didn't look back? I hate how with girls, including me, we let how people perceive us, or the silliest of things that don't even matter really affect us. 

*P.S: I appreciate YOU if you've made it through this post because this is utter nonsense and I've had a writers block for days...Any advice?*

Thursday T's

Seeking advice from all you bloggers: If you have a twitter account, how have you gained followers over time? I feel like I might not be doing something right with mine...whether not enough promotion or what not. I'd love for your reply to hear what you do to keep your tweets a 'comin!

Throwback thursday: 

couldn't resist. TOTAL throwback.

Also, happy one year since prom to me! aka where B and I officially became official. Holla!

we look SO young. And I'm kicking myself now for ever dying my hair blonde.
