Flashback Fridays - Dog gone Wild

(This is Luna)

Back in 2004 when facebook was just starting to come around and I was in my sophomore year of college, I started finding kids who went to Pace (my college) on there. I would just randomly friend anyone that went to Pace, whether it was the NYC campus or the one I was at.

A lot of people did talk back and then we would become AIM friends (because AIM was cool back then -- you know when everyone left it on their computers all day and all night long?) So I met this kid Tom and we became friends and talked a lot through AIM. He lived on campus and I lived with V in an apartment. We had actually never met yet and it had been a little while in the semester before we did. V was my right hand woman and we did absolutely everything together since we both lived off campus.

I told V about this kid Tom that I wanted to meet and that there was this rock show at the campus we used to live at. It was at night and since we knew we werent going to stay at the show and we were going to go out later, we figured we would bring Luna (see picture above) with us because she also came everywhere we went unless we were going to the bars.

So we pack in the car and drive to the campus and wait for him to come outside. V and I get out to meet him and its cool, hes decent looking, and were just hanging out. V opens the door to get a cigarette and before she could shut the door, Luna runs out of the door with no leash.

At that point, someone had JUST opened the door to the venue where the rock show was going on and Luna just darted directly for the door and went in. The lights were all off in there because there was a rock show going on, and all V and I could hear was everyone starting to scream that there was a bear in there!

This all literally happened in a matter of seconds, so V, myself and Tom started to run towards the door when Luna darts back out of the door. I tackled her and grabbed her collar and we got her back in the car.

People were coming out to see what happened but V and I were SO embarrassed and this poor kid that we had just met, was too. We decided that it was an excellent time to leave and I told Tom that we could definitely hang out again but probably somewhere less public or no dog.... He thought that was a good idea.

Moral of this story: Don't bring the dog with you to meet someone you've never met before; wait till at least the 2nd time.

Flashback Fridays

{picture}

I have been thinking this through and I decided that I have a lot of weird stories from college and my past that I wanted to share with everyone (lucky you!) I really wanted to name this Throwbacks, but it didn't fit as well as Flashback did, so be it.

I am going to keep a ongoing character list so you will can figure out who everyone is by looking at it instead of me re-explaining who I am talking about each time in each story. I will try to accommodate the stories with pictures as best as possible, just actually have to scan the pictures in! lol.



Character List:


V -  V is my best friend, I met her in college in my freshman year and she just had a baby and is married. I lived with her in college in two different apartments and we had some crazy ass times together. She was also referred to as my ex best friend, because my ex T, that I used to live with, forced me to not be friends with her anymore. We recently reconnected last year and it has been awesome.

C-  C is my roommate that I live with now. I met her my first day of orientation at college and we have been friends ever since 2002. We dormed together in freshman year of college and then she didnt live with me again from there until 2 years ago when I broke up with T and needed somewhere to live. It has been definitely interesting times lol

T-  T is my ex that I used to live with. We were together for almost 3 years and lived together for most of it. I explained the whole story here. Needless to say, we broke up in 2009 and moved out and havent spoken since.

Jay-  J is my ex before T. He cheated on me ALL of the time, expect I could never catch him or prove it without having gone through his cell phone. I was dumb and young and he took me on vacations and we did a lot of stuff so I didnt want to break up with him, so I essentially cheated on him back and finally our relationship ended when he moved to Mississippi. He did end up coming back after the summer of being there and I will explain in one of my flashbacks why we havent spoken since he came back... this was in like.... 2006.

Mike- Mike is my ex from high school. The love of my life. Always has been and always will be. We had a good relationship. We fought a lot and had a lot of issues but I loved this kid so so much. We broke up when I went to college (we dated from freshman year till i went to college in my junior year) This was back in 2000 when we started dating. We have recently again become friends and he is dating this girl that stalked me and wanted to be me and was obsessed with him. She got her wish.


Kristen- V and I's third roommate halfway through sophomore year in college. She started stealing weed and hair products from myself and V, so we decided to move out of our 2 bedroom, really nice dorm with a balcony to this apartment. We haven't spoken to her since.  (2003)

Amy- Used to be friends with her in middle school and high school and we were best friends. We always hung out and did things together. In freshman year of high school, she became friends with another girl Julie, and Julie for some reason didnt like me, so she turned Amy against me and then all of my friends, left me with no friends as a freshman in high school and then tried to get me expelled from school, tried to get seniors to beat me up... and so on.. you'll see when i write her story.

There will be more.... I will add them as I go along.



**If anyone has any flashback stories you want to share, please email me! I will post them for you!**

School Spirit Day at my Job...

Awkward right? Lol... But I didnt have any school stuff to rock for work today! Nothing from high school and nothing from college! So I decided to rock my brothers Virginia Tech shirt. Go me.... although I did graduate from Pace University...

What about you? What's your school you'd rock?



Ps....Giveaway !!!  One more day to sign up!

College - the decisions i didn't make

Have you ever looked back on your college years and think, what the hell was I thinking when I decided to major in that?

I have been feeling that feeling since 2006 when I walked out of that gym where our graduation was. Why did I choose a Communications degree -- the broadest degree at my college? Why didn't anyone tell me I should pick something else; something more specific or defined.

I wish I could go back in time and have gotten another degree. Dont get me wrong...there is nothing WRONG with a communications degree.. its just that there is nothing that I specialize in and there is nothing that makes me stand out more then any other candidate looking to find a job.

I have no special talents, I can't take any tests to increase my specialties...there isn't much to do...hence why I got into sales. Not that sales is bad,  but it's just not for me.

And now it's almost too late. I have an apartment, bills, and many other things to pay. I don't have time to go back to school full time. I don't have the money to go back to school full time. And I can't, because then I would have to leave my job..and then I would have no money. It's a vicious cycle.

Granted I don't completely regret anything about my college years, I just wish that I knew a little bit more of what I wanted to do, so that those 4 years of my life that I spent there, it could have helped me in the end when I got out to make more money and not have to go back to school to get anywhere.

I am almost thinking that if I didn't graduate a year early and actually went to college a year after and took a year off..I might know more of what I wanted to do.  But on the flip side... i would have never met any of the people I have met along the way of my life and journeys so far so it all equals out.

Does anyone ever feel like that?
I have a feeling I am not alone.

Short Weekend

FLEW BY.... shouldn't even count as a weekend. Now I have to wait 5 days until the next one. Bummer.

I cooked! (we cooked) it's proof!

We made chicken cutlets and spaghetti for the boys and it turned out SLAMMIN! Be jealous, because it tasted awesome!

I forgot to take a picture of the actual food, but it was really good!

I bought some new boots... except I have no idea what to wear with them!

Lovee them :)

I bought some MAC makeup this weekend and since I was sick,,, i LEFT the bag in DSW and when I remembered and went back.. it was obvi. gone. :( So sad.

I went out out to coffee with my ex from high school and although it was really nice to see him since I haven't seen him in over a year, it was still very much depressing because I will always have something for him and I dont necessarily think that it is mutual. So that kinda sucked.

I went out with my girl L because she needed a girls night badly so we went out and saw all these guys I went to college with and there was the one who I had been trying to get with for like YEARS now and it has just never happened, and he just happened to be there. But like always, nothing ever happens, which is fine, i'm used to it with him. It was nice to see him as well. Maybe the next time.. lol

Unforunately I was extremely sick all weekend and although I kept going out and doing things, I crashed hard on Sunday and didn't end up doing much of anything except sleeping until 2pm (THE BEST!) and then walking Simba with my roomie because it was 70 degress outside. Then I was attempting to play match maker for my girl M and another friend of T's.... it went well, except for the fact that another one of T's friends came over and then it was roomie's boyfriend (who is also friends with T) and two of his friends (as well friends with T) and me, roomie and M.

Evenutually I started to get reminded of T by being around some of his friends and I got mad/upset. Not necessarily with them, but just with the fact that his friends still hang out with me and T won't even speak to me. It's just really frustrating and I dont think I can do more than 3 people again that know him.. it is too much. I can deal with them alone, but thats it.

My apartment is awesome.. my job sucks horribly. I really need a new one. I get depressed the night before I have to come here because it is so depressing. :(

I am still sick and it is not going away and that is really obnoxious! Is anyone else sick? I have been sick for about a week now.

Here are some pictures from Halloween. Enjoy!

(the jersey that i was given!!! YAY Teixeria!)
(my girls!)
(the roomie!!)

How was your weekends loves!
