Why?!

Why a new blog you ask?

1. I can't sleep. It happens a lot. Maybe this is something I can do to be productive in that time.

2. I am having troubles writing lately... the kind of troubles wherein I don't write at all. Other than the stuff I do for work, and that doesn't count. So... I am hoping this will help kick start things again.

3. I get frustrated when I am bored and check my blogger feeds, and no one has posted things for days. How can I expect you people to entertain me when I am not willing to put out myself.

4. I have freaking interesting things to say, and it is about time you all started listening. haha...

5. I don't do journals... I've tired and failed many a time. (And this is not counting the one time when I was eleven and had a journal which we refere to as the "Jesus Journal". It was from the I-am-in-my-a-teenager-and-hate-everyone phase. It came early. It lasted like two weeks, because I hated hating everyone. I still feel guilty. Sorry family.)

6. Umm... I have run out of reasons.



P 2 the S... It has only been about an hour since I posted the 25 People blog. And I am already thinking of about people I missed. And I feel guilty. Sorry kids. Know I still love you.

25 People

The other day Chelsey told me I was an I love you slut. Well... it is partially true. I love people pretty easily, but it is a real love. and I don't think you can blame me for that. But I have a theory... I surround myself with people whom I love, and love dearly. I cannot help it that all my friends are so awesome. Here are a few people who I love, and in no particular order. But they rock, so prepare for the shout outs, because they put up with a lot from me that they don't deserve.

*Trentward- We have been through thick and thin... and good and bad. He usually knows what to say to make me feel better about my life. He is freaking hilarious. He generally sees the good in people, especially when no one else can. I am harder on him than I am anyone else, and he probably doesn't deserve that either. But in the end I know that I love his freaking guts and he loves mine.

*Rachie-Poo- For real, I am so grateful I have been given the opportunity to be in her life. We can relate on so many levels and she usually knows exactly what I mean. She puts her whole heart into everything that she does, and I cannot help but truly admire that.

*Denice- When I grow up (or down) I want to be her. She has some amazing stories in which she has truly lived. She is able to balance many things and many hats, and really doesn't miss a beat.

*Anne Dee Kitten- Best. Spooner. Ever. She is also super creative and helps me to see the positive in situations.

*Ag-wag- Just try to crotchet like her. I dare you. Also try to do anything with the vigor that she has in her pinkie.

*Chelsey- I may make fun of her for being tall and freakishly good at math, but I like both things about her. I also like that she is funny and super sassy.

*Lynsie- She is the inspiration for the classic Disney princess. Really. She showed appeared to Walt in a dream, and from that time on he was memorized.

*Mindy- We have lived together less than four months, and she already reads my mind. Also. We share a child... so we have that going for us.

*Sheenabean- She is freaking hilarious and such a sweetheart... with a touch of spice. She ALWAYS listens to my rants and she helps me to be a huge girl, which I need every once in a while. But we can also talk about whatever else under the sun and always have a good time with it.

*Mags- She is crazy and fabulous. I love that we can talk in theories and then laugh so hard we almost pee... these days she could pee at any given moment. Thanks Jude.

*Clare- Beautiful. Talented. Funny. Cleaver. And a trillion other reasons.

*Wyett- It is nice to have someone to talk about my weird ideas and theories on life. He helps me to feel less abnormal about the way I view this world.

*My Mom- I love that I can talk to her about everything, and I mean everything. I love that when she drives she road-rages like the Tasmanian Devil and that she laughs so hard she snorts.

*My Dad- He gets all my pop culture references and continues to introduce me to super neat things. I love that he is like a marshmallow cup. Hard chocolate shell on the outside (but we all know it is really chocolate) and gooey marshmallow in the inside.

*Pookie-Pie- We are like night and day, but we love each other a lot. She is very smart about many things, even when she likes to pretend she isn't. And she cracks me up.

*Honey- He loves my sister, and no matter how big of a brat she is, he still loves her more.

Ashley- If I would have known on the cousin I was missing out on for so long, I would never have let it go that long. She is the definition of adorable.

Kally- I love love love love love that we live in the same town. I am so freaking glad that I can have a small piece of home here.

Mary- She introduces me to neat things. Also, I love the crap out of her three babies and her super wicked husband. I one day want to have such an amazing family.

Mike- He makes the day go by quicker with his dry humor and logical ways.

Derek- We are not as close as we once were, but its okay, because I know I can still call him in the middle of the night. He never gives up. Even when he says he is going to, he will still pull through in the end.

Emily- She has known me the longest of any of my friends. She always makes me laugh, and her voice always makes me feel like home. From stories on the phone to dance shoes to crushes on 90s gay pop bands to love letters in the mail. Its love.

Jo- She knows what I mean without me saying anything. I can still call her when I have a bad dream. And she will still answer.

Courtney- She is like sunshine on a cloudy day. When it is cold outside, she is the month of may. (really.)Also, her kids rock so much it isn't even funny, as do the rest of her family to be quite honest.

And last but not least...

My grandma steph- When I talk to her I feel closer to my grandpa, and there are days when I need that more than I can describe. She is such a wonderful woman. Kind. Smart. Giving. Loving. A fantastic cook. A better story teller. And pretty much the greatest thing since indoor pluming.

Okay, so there are a few of the many people I love. I was going to do 100, but then I was lazy. Really though, there are so many people whom I could put on this list, and I am grateful for you all.

For everyone on this list, I love you.



Even if that makes me a slut.
