Monica & Travis

Im back!!!!!

2011-08-29T16:35:00.000-07:00

Hello internet world! I am back from Air Force Basic Training as an trained Airmen! Yay! I am actually in tech school right now at Keesler AFB studying personnel. I will be back in Utah on Oct 6. YAY! I am so happy right now! I will have to put up a longer post when I have time. Maybe tonight. Hahah!

I am an America Airman

2011-06-19T06:58:00.000-07:00

So this is my last Sunday here in Utah. Well until I get back of course! But that won't happen until Oct 16ish...maybe before. *crossing fingers*. You see...on Tue I will begin my amazing adventure [and transformation] to becoming an American Airman in the worlds best Air Force! Yes! I am going to Air Force Basic Training!!!! Boot camp you may say. Haha. I have had a lot of people ask me if I am scared...and to be really honest...I am not. I am more so excited than anything. The only thing that really irritates me is leaving Travis, Zoe, my parents, and all the other people that I love and care about. But its okay, I will push through because it is only for 3 1/2 months. We can make it! It will be so worth it in the end. I cant wait to start my military career!!!!

BTW....Its official!

2011-05-30T20:07:00.000-07:00

Travis and I are now husband and wife. Yay! After nearly 7 years. I am not one to believe in fairy tales....but this is a happy ending. :)

June 21 2011 & Oct 5 2011

2011-03-09T21:22:00.000-08:00

Those dates are important because I leave for Basic training on June 21! And I come home from Basic training as well as Tech School on Oct 5. I will be returning as a soldier for the best country ever! Whoo!

...meps/asvab...

2011-02-07T20:18:00.000-08:00

Oh man! So Monday February 14, I will be going down to West Valley to the Salt Lake MEPS station where I will take my ASVAB as well as getting a complete physical and then SWEARING in to the United States Air Force!!!! WHOO! I can't believe that I am actually going to do this! I am so stoked and proud of myself! I have been playing around with this idea for a while now and I am glad that I have come to a decision. YAY! Of course I won't leave until after Trav and I get married...der...but I want to leave for Basic and Tech School before we start a family. So I am hoping to leave a couple of months after we get married. This is going to be such a good thing for us...I will be able to contribute more to our little family and perhaps my future children will be so proud of their military mama!

I am enlisting right now, but after I am in I will try my bestest to get accepted into OTS [Officer Training School] so I can become an Officer in the military! YES! More $$$! But the good thing is that since I already have a Bachelors Degree, I will already get paid more than a normal Airman would. Also, with the GI Bill and Tuition Assistance I will be able to go back to school for another Bachelors [in Criminal Justice] and then [hopefully] getting a Masters Degree. I am really interested in getting involved into the AFOSI. Which is like detective work. I love stuff like that! Sweet!

We shall see how everything pans out, but as of right now, I am pretty proud of the decisions I have made and will be making. Serving the United States of America as a tough ass chick!

my skin is a canvas

2011-02-04T16:54:00.001-08:00

And Scott Richardson was the amazing artist!
My boss gave me a $100 gift card to Heavy Duty Tattoos in Ogden and boy was I excited! These guys are amazing! They have been featured in Tattoo Life Magazine a few times and they are in many tattoo conventions. It was a great experience! Love it!

HAPPY 2011! [and 12 days]

2011-01-12T07:41:00.000-08:00

Okay so again for New Years we went to Vegas! I know it seems like so much Vegas, but I think of it like this. All through my teens as well as a few of my early "early" 20's I was so worried & focused on graduating college that I never really let totally loose. And now...oh especially now...that we are both graduated, have our own home, dont have children... I feel that we can really live up the rest of our 20's! It is going to be a really fun 5 years. Because when you turn 30, to me, that is when you really need to start being uber responsible and focused. That is when I will start think about a family & everything like that. But enough from Monica's brain. Here are some images from Vegas. I did not get photos of everything....these are probably just from the bar we hung out at on New Years Eve. But they are a hoot!!!!

Trav & I at the Tournament of Kings Show

Diana & I trying to audition to be on the show

We met a really nice Australian couple in the daiquiri line...so we got a picture

My tongue was so red

Toasted

This is the bar we went to...DICKS. Hahah!

A balloonist guy came around & made me this naughty monkey

He made Leci some Flower Power!

And he made Diana this hat.....

Meet my monkey

Dianas thing had a mind of its own.

Ummm...

Happy New Year

Travis drinking...

Dannie was seriously the life of the party when she is lit up! Love her!

Heres the New Years gang!

Leci and I looking beautiful

I am telling you it had a mind of its own.

Sick! It got me!

The band told us to scream and I did....little did I know what was behind us.

The chickas

My face looks so disgusting in this pic.

Alex is shocked!

HAHAHAH!

Hahahah!

This pic is my fave! The bartended just jumped in! Haha!

Raise the roof!

Trav and I helping them finish their beer.

Wedding of the Century!

2011-01-11T19:38:00.000-08:00

Yes! That would be ours! Haha! We are well on our way for planning our wedding. I bet a lot of you are saying: FINALLY! Hahah! Here is what I have so far:

Venue: On Hill AFB where they basically take care of everything! And since my dad is retired AF and a member of the club we are having it at...the room rent is free and we get a discount on catering. YAY!

I have a wonderful friend named Stacy, who used to be the manager of a flower shop, who is going to do my flowers! And she can get them wholesale! So I am uber excited!

I have another awesome friend who is an amazing designer and she wants to design our invitations! I am stoked! She is fantastic!

I have my dressed picked out. I just need to get to the store and try it on to make sure that I really like it.

I plan on getting our wedding cake from either Target or Sams Club because I have seen what work they have done and so far I love it!

As for a photographer I have not chosen one, but considering that I had about 7 photo classes with a ton of talented people who know how to work a camera [without it being on auto]...I think I will be good. I would do it myself....but I think that would be selfish. Hahaha

And the big day is: May 21! BTW did I mention that Trav and I need to get passports prepared because for our honeymoon we are going to EUROPE! We are planning a European tour! I am super excited because Travis and I are both into Art and History! YAY!

But anyways, wow I have been slacking on this blog thing. Let's see what has happened and what is going? to happen...

* Travis and I moved into our beautiful home! If you havent seen it, give me a jingle and come on over!

* Travis will be 25 in 5 days! Aww can you believe that we met when we were both 18?! I love him so much!

* I will be getting another tattoo Feb 3! I am so excited for this one. It is going to represent my Thai heritage. Cant wait!

* I am going to be joining the Air Force Reserves as well! I will have to get Travis a sticker that says: I love my Air Force Wife! Tee Hee!

Thats about it. I will keep you all updated. Much love!

...six ans, je vous aime...

2010-10-19T07:07:00.000-07:00

YES! Today is October 19...which means that Travis and I have been together for 6 years!!!! He is the love of my life and my best friend. I know that some people may wonder why we have waited so long to get married. Well in all actuality...I dont feel that we waited long at all. I have come to the conclusion that we just took a different route. Instead of getting married and then getting to know each other more and more....we got to know each other [and boy do we know each other] and then we will be getting married...on Oct 14, 2011 to be precise. Teehee! Not saying that our way is better than anybody else...it was just better for us. Besides, we technically did not wait at all...we had already started our lives together, we dont need a piece of paper for that. But boy I bet it sure helps when you are purchasing a house.

...Speaking of houses...we are celebrating our anniversary by closing and moving into our new house! YES! We close on our house tomorrow [Oct 20] and start moving in...well anytime after that. But probably on Saturday. I am super excited. It is a beautiful house...so beautiful in fact that I would have never imagined [in a million years] that we could afford a house so awesome. I will have to take photos of us moving in and that way you can all see what I mean.

It was funny though...Travis asked what I wanted for our anniversary and I said: Are you kidding? You just basically bought me a house...I think I am good. So we will be celebrating by making dinner and having a movie night together in our home. Awww.

I love you Travis. You are my life. We have 6 years together [not off and on....6 years on. Mwah!

We got a house!!!

2010-09-02T07:48:00.000-07:00

YES!

I am glad that we finally found one because honestly I was about to give up. I hated looking for a house! That process officially sucks nuts! EW! See its gross!!! But I love love LOVE this house! We did not think we were going to get this house because when we put our first offer in the bank had other offers going in and they wanted us to do a "bidding war". LAME! And we werent going to play that game...so we kept looking. We found another one and put an offer on that one and while waiting to hear on that one we received a call saying that the people who were going to purchase the first house walked away and the listing agent was calling to see if we were still interested....well....F**K YEAH! So there you have it! Its an amazing house! I love it!

Here are some specs:
* 5 bedrooms [one will be a craft room / one an office / one a mini gym] we are planners. Hahha Ooh and perhaps I will make one a photo studio! I am getting back into photography and it will be great after I finish my MAC MAKEUP course! I can take appointments in my own house once I buy some backdrops. Its gonna be AMAZING!!!!

MONICA.MARIE.Photography OH SNAP!Hahahah!

* 3 bathrooms

* the craftroom was literally meant to be a craftroom. Really. It has shelves built into the room with many electronic hookups. Its really cool!

* Basement is 100%% finished! YES! Fully carpeted / canister lighting / and even the window wells are landscaped. Its crazy!!! When you look outside the windows in the basement...you see this redrock / desert type of scenery. Its funny.

* Gas fireplace

* French door entrance into the living room / front room. [I cant wait to open those doors like they do in the movies. Hahahah!]

* Fully fenced backyard! It also has a place for a garden already...which I LOVE!

Yeah those are just a few of the specs....sadly it does not have a spiral staircase...but thats okay. I will live.

We will probably move in around the first week of October...and I will definitely pose some photos!!!

We found a house!

2010-08-13T11:39:00.000-07:00

Well we found it and put an offer down last night. So I am PRAYING that we get it. Here is the house! Its so pretty! Just copy the link below!

House Hunting....Blows!

2010-08-11T07:23:00.000-07:00

Okay so seriously?! Whoever said that house hunting is fun...needs a CAT scan because I think it blows. I think its because I am really impatient and the fact that its a long process to begin with doesnt really help me out. Hahah! Also the fact that we are picky doesnt help either! I mean we have to be because this will be own home for a while...I do not just want to settle. I just want someone to clone me...then my clone can go out and look at all the houses for me. I just really hate driving/getting out/looking/getting back in the car/driving to the next location. That goes on for like 4 hrs. UGH! Hahahah!

If you wanna help we are looking for:
a newer house [built after 2002]
preferably fully fenced
at least 50% finished basement
3+ Bedrooms
2+ Baths
2000+ Square Feet
Finished Lawn
I know this is a weird request but I really want it to have that darker neutral tone on the outside
I would also love a spiral staircase but its not important
Call me if you know of any in the Clinton, Syracuse, West Point, Clearfield areas

Celebrating Pioneer Day with Alcohol. Haha!

2010-07-26T10:51:00.000-07:00

Yeah here are some funny pics. They make me laugh. Haha!

Our ENGAGE-ing Trip. Haha

2010-07-18T08:38:00.000-07:00

YES!
It has finally happened!

We are ENGAGED.
Travis is not my boyfriend anymore. He is my adoring fiance! We got engaged on Friday [July 16, 2010]. Here is the story:

Travis asked me on Monday if we wanted to go to Wendover for a night, which I thought was weird because he never wants to drive to Wendover. I questioned him about it but he said well its part my goal to try new things. That seems understandable. Haha. But I was still suspicious....there really isnt a way to surprise me...because I will always know. So I had my ideas. And I was excited! Well Friday came around and when I got off from work I drove to his house and put all my stuff in his car and we were off! Well for about 10 seconds...because then I asked what was in his pocket....chapstick. Shoot. Then I decided to open the glove box and I proceeded to ask: Are Zoes' bones still in here?

AND THERE IT WAS

I saw the little red Shane Co box and Travis looked at me in shock saying: You saw! I tried to play it off like I didnt...but I totally did. Hahah! We laughed and laughed and he said: Who freaking opens a glove compartment wondering if Zoes' bones are still in there? Hahah! I said: Well who freaking keeps the ring in the glove compartment box while a very nosy, suspicious, obsessed girl sits in front of it?! Hahahah! But he told me what his was going to do and I was excited, because that it exactly what I thought he was gonna do!!!

Well, we got to the Salt Flats...[one of my all time favorite places....and he proposed to me there. He didnt get down on one knee because I dont like that. He had written a letter to me full of memories and events that led to him falling in love with me and wanting to be with me forever...which is awesome but really funny because as soon as he started with: MONIE....I cried. Hahahah! But it was a beautiful letter which we kept...obviously. And then he asked: Monica Marie Perez, will you marry me?. And it was then that we got engaged. We got out of the car and took some pics...not too many because it was windy and we wanted to get to our destination.

Ooh! We stayed at the Montego Bay in Wendover, where he booked us a suite that had a jacuzzi in our room. I totally need that in my house....amazing!!!! Taking a bath while watching TV?! Its the dream!!! Hahah! We gambled, drank, ate, jacuzzied....I loved it!!!

Here are some photos. We didnt take a lot...but we decided we will go back when its not cloudy and so windy. Hahah

OH! FYI....My ring is a white gold cathedral style band with a half carat cushion cut diamond. I ♥ it!!!! Sorry the pic isnt so good of it. Poop!

One step at a time...

2010-05-17T21:21:00.000-07:00

So lately Travis and I have been looking for a house! YAY!!! I am super excited that we finally feel ready enough for this! Plus I want to get married in the near future as well. But because I have a "specific order" for everything...I want to live with each other first. Ever since I was little I had a "specific order" for when I met the perfect guy...

1] Date for at least a year. [check]
2] Move in together AFTER school. [pending]
3] Get married [soon...]
4] Travel [mainly Europe]
5] Have kids. [Preferably twins because then I can kill two birds with one stone]

And I am pretty sure that my order will be followed through, I hope. But I mainly wanted to graduate first and live together before marriage. If we have kids before Europe it will suck...but we will make it work. Whoo!

And though I am super stoked about getting a house, I am becoming very mature on the subject matter. Travis and I have talked about it with his mom [who is a housing market guru] and I learned about interest rates and other housing market terminology. Hahah! But seriously she is such a big help and I love her for it! I also love learning from her! She did show us this one gorgeous house in Syracuse and it had pretty much ALL of Travis' requests in a house:

1] No older than 2000 [Built in 2003]
2] Fenced in yard [Complete vinyl fencing]
3] 2 car garage
4] Landscaped
5] Partially finished basement
-and whatever else he wants....gah!

Here is the link:

[I hope it works]

I doubt we will get this house....but it is what we want. YAY! I am super excited. I hope we get something soon!!!

Just for RINDI!

2010-05-04T16:24:00.000-07:00

Rindi is one of the most wonderful people in this entire world! She is such a good friend...especially if you want to win a screaming contest! I am so blessed that she came to my graduation! I love her with all my heart!

I think Rindi won the cheering contest for us during my graduation! I love how you can hear them laughing afterwards!

Travis and I are proud owners of Bachelor's Degrees!

2010-05-03T14:35:00.000-07:00

YAY! I am super happy! Travis and I both graduated from Weber State University on April 23, 2010! I just wanted to express my thanks to everyone who supported us and helped us along the way! I have tons of photos from graduation day but I have not put them up yet just because it takes so freaking long for them to upload! GAH!

But two days after graduation Travis and I went to Walt Disney World! YAAY! We took a butt load of photos there too! Oh man it was super fun! Our favorite was Epcot because we were able to sample beer and wine from all the different countries. Let me tell you French beer is pretty damn good!!! Hahah! I have so many pics that are uploaded onto Facebook so if you wanna check them out here are the links:

My Hair Journey!

2010-04-06T21:23:00.000-07:00

Okay so I believe that we have gotten my hair as light as it will go without making me bald. Hahah! I know that in these pics it looks yellow, but it is pretty white actually. Yaya!

Lets Talk About S.E.X.

2010-03-09T23:11:00.001-08:00

Oh man!

Hahah! So secretly [well not so much anymore] I have wanted to be a sex expert. No not like a porn star or some sicko, but I want to be like Dr. Ruth or something to that degree. I have no idea what the formal term for it is, so I will use the word[s] "sexologist"....or..."sex therapist"...which in Latin would be the study of sex. Hahah, I have no clue if that is the correct Latin, because I haven't taken Latin since 12th grade.

Whoa get back on track!

But yeah, I LOVE talking about sex and discussing peoples issues in the bedroom. I don't just talk about it in a dirty way, I like to discuss the emotional and spiritual feelings behind it. I also like to help people with their issues...one main one being people who have never experienced it before. Because sex is a HUGE issue, and first off let me say that I am NOT a believer of marriage before sex. I prefer LOVE before sex. Not saying that if you THINK you love sometime to go and have sex, trust me you will totally know when the time is right. NEVER ever have sex because you THINK its right and you THINK you love someone. You should and will KNOW when its time and when the love is REAL.

But back to being a person to help others, I can totally relate to people who are nervous about sex. I mean I did not ever kiss a boy until I was 18! Which actually I am totally proud of! I have only kissed 3 boys in my life as well and I think that its awesome. Kissing is such and important, beautiful factor in a relationship that I never wanted to kiss just anyone. Call me old fashioned. Whatever. So you can imagine what was going through my mind my first time. I remember having butterflies and shaking a little. I was worried about two things: 1] I hope that I am good and 2] I freaking hope that this doesn't hurt. Hahah![[ But I have absolutely NO REGRETS! Because I knew that I would be with this one boy for the rest of my life. Trust me, it is better with ONE person. But if it doesn't work out with that one person, then no worries, it was not meant to be, trust me you will find someone!]] But back to the "FIRST TIME"...the stories I would hear from friends and stories in magazines about their first time would always FREAK me out! But like I said that if you truly love and trust sometime then your first time will be beautiful!!!!

But to my point of this blog, I feel that many people cannot discuss their sex lives because it may be embarrassing or awkward, but I honestly have no problem talking about it. I don't get disgusted or laugh at anything. I have a completely open mind and I am willing to talk about anything. I am glad that my friends are the same way. It is actually really nice to discuss stuff like this to people who are open minded as well. I mean we don't go into the personal romantic details [sounds like a contradiction I know, but its hard to explain]. Haha. I feel that everyone should have a group of friends like this. And if you don't then ask me a question and I will give you my opinion on it, with your knowledge that it is strictly MY opinion. So if you say that you have a secret fetish with peeing on someone...I'm gonna tell you that I think its gross. But don't let that discourage you, if you find someone willing to do that then MORE POWER TO YOU! Haha!

Honestly, ask me anything and I will gladly give you my personal opinion. :)

And if there are ever openings to be a sex therapist or whatever...I would love to take it. No such a big secret, but it is a secret of mine that I felt like sharing!

Ciao!

Vegas Video's

2010-02-07T20:53:00.000-08:00

Diana, Alex, Travis, and I just sitting in front of the Paris Hotel just enjoying our buzzz. Haha. Travis was telling me how Alex stole his "shot" [Travis purchased an extra vile of vodka to go into his drink and when he poured some of his drink into Alex's glass, it went into Alexs' cup.] And Alex was showing us how Diana throws back shots. Hahah!

Just a video of ringing in 2010 on the Vegas Strip! Yay!

Diana and Kelley decided to dance and sing to The Black Eye Peas while we were taking a bathroom break! Hahah! Watch the guys reaction when Kelley jumps in front of a guy [complete stranger] who is trying to go to the bathroom. Hahah! His body reaction is so funny! It gets even funnier when Travis comes out of the bathroom and Diana dances on him. Haha! Also notice when the cop walks in front of my camera, Kelley almost goes to dance on him but you hear her say: Im not gonna dance with him. Hahah! But unfortunately she danced behind him and he got mad. Hahah!!! Vegas is so much MORE fun when you are with US!!!!

Sunday = Hair day!

2010-01-30T00:04:00.001-08:00

So on Sunday I will be getting my hair dyed again! We will be getting rid of my teal and putting in WHITE! It will be a work in progress, but it is going to be kick ass! YAY! Lets just hope that I dont get bored with it and want to dye it again after because then I will go bald. Blah!

So I will have to post some photos after I get the first bleach and toning process done! YAY!

I have an OLD soul.

2010-01-20T08:42:00.000-08:00

I truly do!

For example right now I am watching FOX News listening to Republican Scott Brown discuss his Senate win. And its extremely interesting to me. I love watching the news and I am very interested in politics. I try to make it home on time during weekdays to watch the O'Reilly Factor. Some people my age look at me like I am crazy when I want to talk politics, well I am sorry that I want to have a more intelligent discussion than the stupid usual who broke up with whom. Or who Robert Pattinson is dating at the moment. I wish more people my age would open up their freaking eyes and realize that politics and current events DO truly effect their lives. And if it does not at the moment, then it will in the very near future. I mean, this "boring, lame, stupid" stuff [as most of todays youth would put it] is important to all of our lives. It effects our money, health, and basically everyday living. I was shocked when I found out that some people were watching shows like The Hills or whatever when the most historical election was going on last year! WTF?! Ugh! I have talked to people who have no FREAKING idea who the Christmas Day Terrorist is! Come on! You cannot be that naive! It is no wonder why America is behind on education.

I know that many people would say: Well I have no idea what is going on...I don't get it. Well this is the time to learn! If you have no interest in American politics or you say that you do not care about who is running this country and essentially controlling your money and healthcare, then you are basically killing a part of your American patriotism. Voting and caring about politics is a HUGE part of the Constitution! Maybe people would rather live in a place like China where you do not get to choose. A leader is chosen for you and if you do not like it and complain they kill you.

I personally feel that the people who have no interest in politics and/or do not take part in voting for certain politicians are not the leadership type. They are followers, which is not entirely a bad thing, its just upsetting.

My old soul goes even farther with the television I watch. The shows that I watch everyday include: I Love Lucy, The Golden Girls, Threes Company, and FoxNews. I also watch Greys Anatomy and that keeps me young every Thursday. Haha. But OMG, I LOVE LOVW LOVE I Love Lucy! It is such a good, funny, show! Lucille Ball was such an amazing comedian and I would LOVE to gain the opportunity to be a comedian actress like her! She and Vivian Vance were so marvelous together! They were beautiful and hilarious! I know that I am now ranting and ranting about this show, but it is one of the best shows America has ever produced!

Oh man, time is running short. I have to get ready for the day, Plegh! Hahah!

New Years...Vegas style.

2010-01-11T20:10:00.000-08:00

Man, I have decided that I am really behind on my holiday blogs. Gah! Hahah! But I guess it may as well be better late than never.

So for New Years Travis and I decided to celebrate it in Vegas with our friends: Alex and Diana and Kellie and Ryan. We left on Dec 31 at 8am and things were going great! Travis was excited and definitely needed this break from everyday life:

I was excited as well! Not only were we going to Vegas but I got to wear my brand new Ed Hardy sunglasses! Yay!

But of course things were going to smoothly and our car broke down causing us delay.

Diana wasn't very happy, it was her first trip to Vegas...

...and Travis had to pee...

We eventually made it to Sin City with time to spare! The boys had been drinking in the hotel room a little earlier so they had to pee the moment we stepped foot on the strip. Us girlies [Kellie, Monica, and Diana] got a little bored, so we took some photos!

Finally the boys came out and we got the party started! Travis was uber excited!

And we learned that: Everything is Sexier in Paris!

Finally I was able to get a drink! A margarita!

We were also able to get Happy New Year tiaras!! Diana stole hers...thief. Thats why her and Alex look like thugs!

The next day we met Cleopatra and Caesar!

Then we all got yardstick daiquiris! Diana and I got strawberry while Travis and Alex got 190 Octane.

It was only 3 or 4 in the afternoon and we were all already a little crazy!

That night I had ANOTHER yardstick drink, along with some more cocktails which let me to puke in a bathroom stall at the Rio Casino. Haha! It was actually amusing. That night led me to staying completely sober for our last night there. I was pretty much the only one...

We met Jack Sparrow on the strip. He really is a pirate! To take a photo with him you had to tip him. I did not have any ones so I had to give him $5! WTF?!

All in all we had a great trip and we ended the evening with staring contests and pizza!

Christmas 2009!!!

Cant wait to see what happens for New Years! Have a fun and safe holiday!!

New Years, AFI, Twilight, Graduation, etc.

2009-12-12T00:31:00.001-08:00

I am uber excited for this New Years Eve! Travis and I will be going down to Las Vegas with our friends: Diana and Alex and Ryan and Kelli! I also got an AMAZING deal on a hotel room! It is going to be a blast! I will definitely post some pics from that! Because there were DEFINITELY be a lot of pics from that night!

But lets see what else has gone down...

Well on December 8 2009, I went to see AFI in concert!!! It was the greatest thing ever! I had such an amazing time! I took amazing video and my pics would have turned out even better if I was allowed to bring in my Nikon. But they would have confiscated it and I did NOT want that. But the pics I did get were really foggy because that is what my camera focused on. Lame! So I not have to go back and edit all 200 photos. But no fear, because I just have to adjust the curves as well as the blending modes.[They will be up soon]. They wont be as perfect as I want but they will still be f***ing awesome because its AFI. Hahah! I really want to meet them though, I need to have them sign my wrist [next to my AFI tattoo] so I can get that tattooed on. It would be done very sophisticatedly too. YAY! I will meet them one day and it will work out! But oh my god that concert was bloody terrific! It was sooo worth it waiting in the single digit weather for four hours! Hahah! Tiffanie and I made friends and shared our handwarmers and hot chocolate with fellow AFI fans! It was the best night ever!!!!

I have been thinking about how the movie makers are going to make the next two movies for Twilight. Particularly the fourth book. I am always hearing [from die hard fans] that they are not staying very close to the book...well if they keep straight with the fourth book, that movie is going to be rated R. I mean come one, if you haven't read it then you have no idea. But its pretty intense, and I have no problem with it, but I am just thinking about the complaints I will hear from many people in this state [mainly] about how the movie is rated R and how they are mad because they cannot see it due to the fact that they don't watch rated R movies. Man, this will cause a dilemma. Hahah! Not a huge one, but who knows? I am ready to see what they will do because I am re-reading the fourth book [which is my fave] and its pretty risque in some areas or a bit gory. Hahah. Hmmm, there will always be someone who is unhappy. Hahah.

And finally, there are now 5 months left until Travis and I graduate! YAY! Travis just went to pay for his graduation application today and we are now officially cleared! I am so excited!!!! It is going to be great! Of course, I may want to go back for another Bachelors in a few years. I really want to get into Crime Scene Photography, but I need two pre-req classes so I figured why not get another degree? And Travis has been thinking about going back in a few years for his Masters. So we will let you know when all of that goes down. Haha! But as for now Travis and I are doing fantastic!!!! We are going to start looking for a house pretty soon, because we are both financially ready, or so we think. Hahah. I think we will be perfectly fine because we both have good jobs [and when we graduate we will have better ones], they both provide good benefits [although I had to contact mine today and have her find out why the clinic was still sending me a bill, all taken care of], and we are really good savers. I HATE spending money! Oh my gosh! You should see all of the coupons I have in my purse for random stores for Christmas gifts! HAHA! I mean they are not cheap-o gifts because, hello, its me. I like brand name stuff, but that doesn't mean I won't get 10% off! Hahahah!

Anyways, that is all I can think of discussing at this point, please if you have any question leave your message after the beep. Hahahah!

Halloween 2009

2009-11-01T08:58:00.000-08:00

Okay, here is the finished product and then some pics from Halloween night [Travis and I went to Diana and Alex's house]. It was so much fun!

Pirate Scene It, Drinks, Old pictures....what could be more fun?!

The Finished Product, Zombie/Vampire [Pick whichever you think] Victorian Equestrian

Goth Girl, Fairy Berry, and Footloose. [Nicknames we gave each other]

I decided to change my look

Jaynon and I are too much alike

This was my pride and joy. My one flawless cupcake. Not a sprinkle out of place

My dignified look

Gwaaaarrrrr!

Jaynon and her fiance [Nate]

Leci, the Scene It master!

Halloween Night @ Alex and Diana's

Travis wanted to continue drinking his cranberry and vodka, but I wanted to take pictures!

Leci and me! We are awesome!

I didnt bring my drink out so I had to pretend.

I love this girl so much!

Bloody Mary's are so awesome!!!!

Put a few drinks in me and I decide to hang out with the puppies!

Alex and Travis...WARRIORS!

Grrrr!!!!
Alex is actually a fighter and a lover!!

Happy Halloween [early]

2009-10-30T23:17:00.000-07:00

I freaking LOVE my costume!!! So I tried it on tonight to make sure everything would work, and I just couldnt wait to post the pics!!!

I am a Zombie Victorian Equestrian. But now that I look at it, I look more like a very dapper vampire. Haha.

I made this hat!

five b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l years

2009-10-13T20:57:00.000-07:00

On Saturday October 10 Travis and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary by going to Lagoon! Lagoon is not as big as I remembered it to be, but we still had a great time! It was not about the rides and food anyways, it was about spending the day celebrating our relationship together! Technically our anniversary is on October 19, but we had to change it because I have school that day and we both work that day as well.

Travis and I have been together for 5 years straight. No on and offs, no dating other people, or anything else like that. We work amazingly hard at our relationship, I feel. Considering that we both work full time jobs while going to school, its amazing that we have come as far as we have! We only see each other on the weekends and we make the most of it. I also feel that we have made it this far because we did not rush into marriage. Marriage is different for every couple, while I do want to get married, I feel that we have made the right choice in waiting; especially with our personalities and goals we each want to achieve.

I cannot wait until we graduate! April 23 2010...put that in your calendars!!! We are starting to look at houses to get an idea of what we want to purchase when we get settled into new jobs after graduation. I hope I have a good one.

When we first started dating all I wanted to do was get married to him, but I am glad that I waited. We got to know each other inside and out, we tell each other everything/we keep each others secrets, we want the same things [most of the time], we respect each other when we disagree, we laugh during arguments [because many of them are stupid], we trust each other to the fullest extent, and we both love each other more than anything else in the world.

Travis was showing me where he used to work

Our first funnel cake!

Travis taking a big whiff

Dare I eat this fry?

I find it funny how we both purse our lips randomly

I love him more than anything else in this world.

My Fair Wedding.

2009-10-05T21:37:00.000-07:00

So I have decided that I would absolutely LOVE to have David Tutera plan my wedding. He has a show on WE or Oxygen [whichever one Bridezillas is on], and he takes the theme of the wedding and makes it so much better than what they originally had. And they turn out GORGEOUS!!!! Oh man, yeah, but it would probably cost me like $50,000 or more.

Seattle 2009

2009-08-25T18:06:00.000-07:00

So Travis and I went to Seattle with my parents last week. It was so much fun! I hope that I can live there!!! Anyways, here are a few photos from our amazing trip!
This are totally out of order and I will fix it someday. Haha! But here are a few of my pics. I will upload more this weekend!

Travis and I on the trail at Mt. Rainier

We found snow! You didnt think being from Utah we would be this excited. Travis climbed down and threw some into the air

Travis and my Mom posing on the trail

Mt. Rainier is BEAUTIFUL!

Look at how wet my hair was! We were in the cloud bank for about 3 hrs. Moist!

I didnt know we were supposed to run away. Haha. Im lame

It looks like we are scared of that little tree!

My mom was trying to show Travis something.

But enjoy!

Clearfield Ink

2009-07-31T22:39:00.001-07:00

Haha. So today I had my newest ink job done! YAY! It turned out so good! I got it done from Nick at Loyalty Tattoos. Nick is freaking amazing! I noticed in his shop that he was mention in Tattoo Magazine. That is way good!!! I got a roadrunner on my left foot. It was for my grandma and grandpa. My grandpa always loved roadrunners and when he died my grandma said that she saw a roadrunner at his funeral and she thought he had reincarnated into one. So that is the background of the tattoo. I love it!

I was so worried about getting it too! I couldnt stop asking people if the foot was gonna hurt. Everyone told me yes and that freaked me out!!! Haha! So when we were starting I was hyperventilating and when he did the first line, I didnt feel anything near what I had expected. Hahah! I calmed down after. But there were definitely parts that did have their painful moments. But nothing I couldnt handle.

I was also very lucky to have my friend Rindi there! She kept my mind off of things by laughing with me and telling stories. I fully enjoyed her company there. We also laughed at all the other artists, because the things they were talking about were hilarious!!!! Hahah!

But anyways, if it didnt hurt while getting it...it is definitely hurting now. My foor is so SORE right now. I limp everywhere!!! OUCH!!! Hahah! Maybe this is the part that people are talking about when they said that foot tattoos hurt...Hmmm. Haha!

Well here are some photos:

Cracked Faces & Medicated Smiles

2009-07-26T20:25:00.000-07:00

Wow, it has definitely been a little while since I blogged. Haha. I guess I am not much of a blogger...I like to tell people [in person] what I am thinking. Haha. So, lets see what has been going on in my mind.

1] I have my tattoo appointment on July 31! I am super excited about it too! It is one that is special to the heart moreso than the other ones. [As most of you know, I hate, hate, hate it when people get tattoos just to get one and not for a special reason behind it.] I will be getting a tattoo of a roadrunner on my left foot. Not the cartoon "beep beep" roadrunner but the actual bird. It is for my grandparents. There is a special meaning behind it but its a little too long to explain, so call me if you really want to know more.

2] I am irritated about our government right now. Because frankly, it sucks. Our President is slowly driving our society into a Marxist believing, socialist sucking culture. No one wants that. If you are good at your craft and are better then most people you should get paid more than the others, not paid the exact same as everyone. Ugh! Whatever. And to all the people who think politics are "boring" or "lame" or even think that it has nothing to do with you. It does. It has everything to do with you. It effects your life and everything in your life. If you didn't vote and are now complaining about something, you have no right to complain because you did not do your civic duty to even begin getting your voice heard. As you can tell I really dislike it when people my own age have no interest in politics. Shows the world what kind of future generation is being created in America....Idiotic.

3] SICK! My cat just barfed in the hallway. NAASTY! Now I have to clean that up. Ew!

4] I have figured out why I have the worlds best boyfriend in my life. I wasnt blessed with siblings. I only received a short amount of time to spend with my grandparents before they died and during that time I only saw them about 3 times a year. I am the only grandchild on my Dad's side. I have no cousins here. I never see my family in Thailand [I saw my Grandma in Thailand twice before she died. I never met my Grandfather]. I didnt get to tell either of my Grandparents good bye before they died. And so with all of that being in my life, I think that fate presented me with Travis and we have such a good relationship because it would be incredibly too cruel to take him away from me. Dont get me wrong, we do have our disagreements every once in a while, but we do not dwell on those things because we would much rather be happy than mad at each other. And when I think about my future I know that he will always be in it. No matter what. I used to have dreams about becoming a singer, artist, or whatever. But now all my dreams have changed to wanting a family with this boy. My dream is to marry Travis Steven Ritch and start a family with him.

But yeah anyways, here are some random photos that Travis and I found. Hahha!

I am 23 yrs old today!

2009-07-05T09:07:00.000-07:00

Nothing really significant about this age. Haha. But yeah. I wont have another significant age until I turn 50 and I can get my AARP card so I can get discounts for restaurants. Whoo!!!!!

I turn 23 in THREE days!

2009-07-01T23:17:00.000-07:00

How freaking insane is that?! OMG! I highly dislike growing up, yet I notice myself changing all the time. For instance:

* I hate kids being loud in public places. I find myself saying: Stupid kids, shut up.
* I watch Fox News all the time to see what condition our country is in now. [I.E. I have a strong interest in politics]
* I use smart abbreviations like "I.E."
* I hate it when my mom offers to pay for things. I feel so guilty when she does.
* I think the younger generation are idiots. Well not all of them, but a lot.
* I dont shy away from the idea of having a baby. [Although I do shy away from becoming fat]
* I dislike t-shirts with sayings on them. I think they are trashy.

There are more things, but cannot think of them all.

As of right now I am watching Cheers waiting for I Love Lucy to come on. I really should be sleeping because I have to wake up early to wash my hair. I get to work tomorrow, but before that I get to have a nurse stick a needle in my arm. Ouch! Haha! Tomorrow I am supposed to get my 3rd and FINAL shot for Gardasil. I am gonna be one less! Did any of you sing that little chant after you read it? I do all the time. Hahah! But holy fcuk [and yes I meant to spell it like that] that shot hurts. Haha. Maybe not as much as Depo did, but it feels like you got punched in the arm by Mike Tyson. GAH! Depo [birth control for those of you who have no idea] was thick and it killed when they pushed it into your arm. Ugh! But thanks to Implanon, I dont have to worry about another birth control for 3 years. Yay! Little rod the size of a matchstick that they placed into my arm keeps me baby free, thank goodness. I am not ready for a mini me running around. Ew. Haha!

Besides, I need to get through Basic OTS [Officer Training School] first! That is right! I am joining the Military - United States Air Force. Every since I came back from Washington DC, it has been all I can think about. That city inspired me to do something amazing with my life. I will be support my country and keeping her safe. I will also be supporting myself and my family. It will be a tough road, but a worthy road nonetheless. The OTS lasts for about 3 months and is an intensive course that challenges you physically [worried] and mentally [not so much worried]. Haha. It is for men and women who have a Bachelors Degree. So when they graduate they start out a higher rank than the people who just enlisted. Another amazing possibility in joining the Air Force is traveling. Travis and I want to travel so bad! My dream is that I get stationed to a base in Europe. I have a friend who was stationed in Germany, and he was an HOUR away from France, Belgium, and many other amazing places. Can you imagine waking up and going to Paris for the day?! AHHH!

The only think that worries me about going into the military is Travis. He says that he supports me, but I dont want to uproot his lifestyle. I know that if he has a problem with anything, I will not join. I will do anything for him and if his career isnt as flexible, I will just have to choose another career. I guess that tells you how crazy in love I am with him.

Wow, this is the weirdest blog yet. If you read this, then congratulations for surviving. And opinions are also welcomed.

What other careers can you see me in?
* Makeup artist
* Photographer
* Marketing Agent
* Air Force
* Sex Therapist [I have seriously considered it]
* Other.

HAHAHAH!

Hahaha! I am sillie!

2009-06-29T21:21:00.000-07:00

Haha, I was trying to get to this blog site and for some odd reason it would not let me. It kept saying that the site I had typed in wasnt available and I started getting pissed. I finally looked at the URL bar and realized that I had typed in: www.BLOOGER.com HAHAHAH!

Someone really needs to create a BLOOGER site. My face could be the mascot. Hahah!

I do this a lot.

2009-06-28T21:55:00.001-07:00

I apparently have a problem with forgetting to make sure my camera is set on "capture picture" instead of "record movie". I am dumb sometimes! Hahah!

Random Rindi/Monica moment

2009-06-24T22:25:00.000-07:00

I think this is another classic video displaying when people forget that the camera is set to "video record" rather than "capturing a picture".

Bwahaha!

Disneyland Trip!

2009-06-09T21:52:00.000-07:00

Well, I know it has been a while since Travis and I got back from out mini-vacation, but whatever, I will tell you all about it now! Yay!

We left for Disneyland on May 21. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Anaheim, which is amazing! We got there at about 11 and as soon as we put out luggage in the room we jumped on the next shuttle to the park. I had butterflies all the way there and when we got off, I actually jumped off. I was so excited, I think I was more excited than all the little kids there, I even screamed a bit. Haha!

I do not really want to give you all a total description on what happened there, just a few of the coolest stories. Lets see our first day there was fun because it was the FIRST day. We rode almost all of the rides and I laughed my ass off on all of them as I usually do. We rode that Buzz Lightyear one and of course Travis whooped my ass in that one. I suck! Haha! When we went back to our hotel we realized that we needed some snacks to have in our hotel room, so we went to the Target across the street and bought some supplies: Teddy Grahams, Cheetos, and Fruit Snacks. Haha!

I also learned to NOT touch the food/beverages they put in the mini-fridge. I opened it to see what they had and I wanted to take out a drink to look at it and as soon as I removed it the fridged beeped and me and charged us $4.50! Just for touching! Travis gave me this look and I put it back. Dont touch the food/drinks in the fridge. Its a smart fridge. I thought they charged you once they saw that you actually drank/ate the stuff. Lame!

The second day we were there we decided to go to California Adventure first. We got there at like 10 am and they had the food and wine festival which was awesome but all the cool chefs werent there, so it actually wasnt that awesome. Haha! But we wanted to go on the California Screamer, but it was closed so we decided to go on the new Toy Story ride, sort of like the Buzz Lightyear one where its like a game. Well while waiting in that long, twisty line there was a woman with a motorized cart in front of us [she shouldnt have been able to have that thing in line], anyways the woman in front of her was waiting for her little boy to catch up with her and the handicapped lady started yelling at her to move because the line was moving. A little tiff broke out and the handicapped [she really wasnt handicapped just old] lady was fussing about it the entire way through the rest of the line. HAHA! Her own daughter had to explain that the lady was waiting for her son. What a dork!

The third day we were there we actually went to Universal Studios in LA. WHOO! I was so excited because I havent been in there in forever. Our tour guide/driver was explaing to us that the tunnel where they filmed the scene in Transformers where Bumblebee becomes a newer car, was coming up on our right hand side. Well when we past it everyone on the bus GASPED! It was like no one had ever seen a tunnel before. Haha! I gasped too, but it was funny! Also the most exciting moment of out trip happened on this day. While we were waiting for the animal show to start a fight broke out. It was so freaking awesome! We were all sitting and just waiting when all of a sudden these two huge hispanic guys are punching the crap out of each other and their families are yelling and cussing at each other. It was great! I should have captured it on video. DAMN!

The fourth day we went back to Disneyland where I got mad at some stupid Mexican lady who totally butted everyone in line. I wanted to punch her in the face. Maybe if she learned some english she would have known but oh well. Idiot. Even her family was like WTF?! Hahah! I got a pickle on this day and it was soooo yummy!!!!! Anyway, here are some photos!

Wedding Confusion

2009-05-12T20:09:00.000-07:00

So, I know that I have a while before this all happens. But I realized today that I do not have a best friend who is a girl, which made me think who is going to be my Maid of Honor when I get married? I wonder if I will even have one. This is kind of freaking me out. I totally don't have a best friend. I mean my best friend is Travis but he can't be my Maid of Honor. I notice how all of my friends have that one best friend that they know everything about, they share secrets to, and they are basically apart of their family. I think that it has been that way my entire life. When I was younger my best friend was my dad. And now my best friend is Travis. I guess what I am trying to get out is that I have no one to be my Maid of Honor when I get married. I know that I have a few years before I really have to worry about this, but since I am a major planner and have about half my wedding already planned I think about these things. Hmmmm....

Funny Travis and Monica moment

2009-05-11T22:08:00.001-07:00

This video is so funny! I had just purchased my laptop and was exploring all the programs that came with it. Well I had come across the WebCam program and was about to take a picture, well apparently I pushed the button to record a video and Trav and I were posing for a picture. Hahah!

Pet Peeves & The Things I Love

2009-05-11T21:35:00.000-07:00

So I figure I can make some people smile by listing some of my many many quirks. Actually some I have just recently discovered. Hahah! Lets start with the things I dislike and/or the things that bug me.

I hate sitting anywhere besides the very back row in a movie theater. I highly dislike the feeling of people behind me. It drives me nuts. I feel like they are gonna put their feet up and have gum on their shoe or dog poo and its gonne get in my hair. Sick!
I dislike girls who flirt non stop and date around too much. Its annoying and understandable when their are of high school age, but when you get into your early 20's give it up! Its pathetic. The little giggle, hair twirl, and a hit to his shoulder...makes me want to direct a punch to your face.
I don't like Joe Biden. Where the hell is he anyways? I havent seen him since the campaign.
Illegal Immigration. Dont get me started because I can go on and on with this one. I will probably discuss it in a later post. UGH!
I dont really like a certain girl that is in my dance class. Rindi knows who she is. I kind of want to smack her. I know she is young, but I dont get how someone can be so irritating.
I hate how if you give someone an expensive camera they are suddenly a Freelance Photographer. I dont think you are a photographer if you shoot on the Automatic setting the entire time. Come back when you can tell me what ISO you are shooting at.
I dislike Obama's plan. Pure and simple. I am hoping for a Second American Revolution. Seriously.
I hate the religious radicals saying that the world is going to end in the year 2012. The only way it will end is because the media will keep freaking people out and these people will end up becoming so scared that they will kill themselves.
I dislike religious radicals who judge people who aren't their religion. Or if they keep pressuring others to become just like them. I am open to every religion but I dont believe in a single one. I would tell you rude judgemental people to go to hell, but I dont know if it exists or not. ;)

There are TONS more things that I dislike but I wont say those now. Lets see, I will know explain some of the things that tickle me.

I love getting my good morning texts from Travis.
I love getting texts in general.
I have an obsession for Cinnabon. I swear I could eat those all day long! Maybe my wedding cake will be made of a ton of Cinnabons! Whoo!
I love the feeling I get when I walk through the gates of Disneyland/Disneyworld. Its like I know that in a few mintues I will be having a great time!
I love going to the movies because of the previews at the beginning. I truly LOVE watching previews!
Fountain soda tastes much better than bottled or canned soda.
I put Texas Pete hot sauce in my soups, veggies, pizza, chicken, rice, etc.
I love it when Travis kisses me on my forehead. Teehee.
He makes me laugh the most when he tries to mimick what I am saying while I am saying it.
I have a specific way of eating pickles. I bite the sides off and then bite out the middle and then I make it even again by biting the sides again. Haha!
I love McRibs!
I like the sound that cars make when they drive over a snow covered road. Its so quiet and peaceful.
I have a crazy obsession for designer brands. I love DIOR, Coach, Armani, Dooney&Bourke, M.A.C, Prada, Betsey Johnson, Ed Hardy, etc.
I love getting the glaucoma test done! Haha! The puff of air is exciting and it makes me laugh!
I like to open the store I work at because we get shipments in and I like to open the packages. Its like Christmas!
I get excited everytime Travis and I walk into Barnes&Noble. I get so excited that I have to pee after I walk in.
Veggies are my dessert! I prefer them over anything else! Especially artichoke hearts, tomatoes, baby corn, and bell peppers! YUM!

Yeah, that is all I can think of at the moment. I hope it made you smile at least once.

New Hair

2009-04-02T20:31:00.000-07:00

Yeah so I cut off my hair...

That is all.

Just for Rindi!

2009-03-26T21:43:00.000-07:00

So, I was told today by Rindi that I needed to "blog" more. Blog more. Hmmm. I am not much of a blogger as I have state in a previous blog that is dated about 7 or 8 months ago. Bwahaha! I have nothing really interesting to say, I mean I dont have any kids, a husband that is driving me nuts, and I not trying to get through anything. But hey, I guess I can always try.

I will start off with this Twilight craze. When I first heard of the books I was a little skeptical. I mean come on! A girl who is new in town falls in love with the schools most gorgeous guy and he turns out to be a vampire?! Someone bring out the mac because that story is full of cheese!!! But I never judge a book by its cover...all the way....so I decided to read it. And low and behold...it was exactly as I expected. Well written, but definitely for teens. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but its just not my taste. So I was a little weary in reading the rest, but I did and I have to admit they were much better. No chapters and chapters on describing what Edwards breath smelled like. Thank God! And then the movie came out. I was a little more excited for this one because I freaking love movies. And when it came out on DVD, I purchased one and have watched it over and over again. And I need everyone who has a sense of humor like my friend Rindi and I to watch the movie with Audio Commentary. It is the absolute bestest thing in the entire world!! I wish I could explain a bunch of things on here [its a little hard when I cant give you all a little demonstration]. But I can share with you some funny parts in the movie that crack me up.

In the Prom Scene when the kid playing Tyler shimmies like crazy towards Bella and Edward
When Edward drives Bella to school and they are walking together and Bella says: Everybody is staring and Edward replies: Not that guy, oh, he just looked.
The look on Erics [Asian kid] face when they are at the beach, when one of the girls says that Bellas date backed out and he goes WHAT DATE?!
At the Cullens house when Rosalie asks if Bella is even Italian and Emmett says: Well her name is Bella. Bwahah!

I just realized that my font has changed. Crap! Well lets see what else has happened lately?? Oh on Tuesday I got my birth control implanted into my arm. Its called Implanon. The procedure didnt take took long, about 3 minutes, but the waiting took forever! I had an appointment for 4:50 and I was waiting in the exam room until 6. Ugh! Whatever! The photo of my arm at the top is what my arm looks like right now.

Well I guess people are tired of hearing about my life. But if you ever want to know more just ask me, I am an open book...its a short one though, with lots of pictures.

Golden Girls

2009-03-16T22:06:00.000-07:00

Whoa! Long time since I have "blogged". Haha that sounds funny! Since I am used to Facebook and Myspace, please excuse me if I am slow or have no idea what I am doing or going on about. Its Monday night and I just had dance tonight. I love going to dance because I get to hear about how my friends are doing and what is new. Oh and I like to dance when I am there too. BWAHAH! As of right now though, I am watching The Golden Girls and pondering what to eat. I hate it when I am hungry at night because its too late to make something but my house has nothing to snack on. Oh the joys of living with an asian woman who insists on cooking everything from scratch! I guess I will settle with potato chip crumbs and two month old dip. EW sick! I just grossed myself out. Haha!

Back to the tellie! I love how rewatching these episodes of the Golden Girls seem like I am watching them for the first time. I have just come to realized how much I didnt understand when I was younger, for example: in the movie The Mask when he makes balloon animals and accidentally pulls out a condom, I always thought: what the heck is with that weird balloon and why do people laugh at that part?! Hahaha! I love reminising about things I had no idea about when I was younger...I actually found out recently [ever since dating Travis] that boys didnt wipe when they went pee! I was so confused when I found that out! I could tell you more and more....but I need to see what I can make with Chinese cabbage, tofu, and rice......what I give for a McDonalds right now!

A Shot At Love

2008-07-08T20:17:00.000-07:00

Why do I watch such lame shows? That is the question people usually will ask me when they find out what shows I watch. The answer to this question...I have no idea. Hahah. I just got done with watching the reunion show of A Shot At Love with Tila Tequila, and man reality tv just isn't even trying anymore. The acting on those shows suck. Rock of Love was a lot better than this one. Bwahaha!

Seeing Bret Michaels at an age around 45ish hitting on girls who are in their 20's is really discouraging. Although he does seem like a genuine guy, it still creeps me out that he still wears a bandana or a hat everytime you seem him. I wonder if he sleeps with it on. Maybe he wears them all the time because his hair is attached to it and he would be bald if he doesn't wear them.

My mind is racing. BWAH! Anyways, I just downloaded a game from Gamehouse.com. Yes, I spend my evenings downloading free 1 hour games.

First time.

2008-07-07T22:10:00.000-07:00

Hello,
This is my first time actually "blogging". I am so used to Myspace that a regular website without all the glitz and glam is a bit weird for me. So I guess I am just going to sit back and see how this thing works. I actually don't have a lot on my mind right now, I just keep thinking of a specific Sonic commercial I saw; you know the one where the two guys are sitting in there car and talking about things that don't really make sense, but yet you still laugh at it...at least I do. Also, I hear Family Guy on my TV in the background, it's making me chuckle. My favorite episode is the one where Brian gets upset at the way Stewie pronounces Cool-Whip...with an emphasis on the H. Hahah! But yeah whatever.

I guess I will be ending this post. I am a little bit hungry but its late...I know I will still go up and grab something to eat. Perhaps a vitamin water and a lean cuisine. So amazingly delicious. What I could really go for right now though is some radtastic chips and salsa, but sadly I don't feel like making any...I just want it to appear right before my eyes.....KAPOW!
