I Hate Love

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.
You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life
...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.
Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination.
Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I hate love". By Neil Gaiman

Ps. I Love... Crying My Eyes Out At Movies!

I FINALLY watched Ps. I Love You last night with my girl.

Wow.




I controlled myself because my eyes would have been insanely puffy but it was ridiculously sad! I don't understand how you could live in the same place after that... I could never. I would die. It was amazing... their love and passion for each other... amazing. I want that. Not the part where he dies,, because that was just horrible and terrible and I would just not be able to live anymore!



I want to read the book now because I know it must be even better than the movie. Has anyone read the book?
I loved their love... they loved each other so much! Ahhhhh I need to go to Ireland!

Interactive Thursday!

Topic of the Week:

What is your dream career if you could pick it?

Mine:

Either working at Google or being the Editor at Elle Magazine or a similar awesome magazine, or being a columnist at a great magazine or awesome online networking site.

Also, owning my own coffee shop on the beach and wearing no shoes as I make coffee :)

Ha aha mine are definitely not on this top 10 dream jobs list!

Round 1 of Pictures - Peru

This picture process is taking me such a long time.. I was able to get 3 albums up on facebook but it kept telling me pictures had errors and whatever so it was a ridiculous amount of work. I am going to post some on here.. but I am also posting the links to the 3 facebook albums that i have. I really hope they work and that you can view them!

I have 1400 pictures.. and that is about 150... soo.... in time, they will appear!

Album 1: Macchu Picchu Pictures
Album 2: Lima Peru Pictures
Album 3: Cusco, Peru Pictures

I have so much going on right now, it is ridiculous. All I want to do is write about my trip in here and it will take me forever, I know! There was so much information and so many things that I need to share and think it will definitely help the next traveler to Peru, so that, in time, will also appear on here! Plus I will be adding pictures with that as well.

So here are a few!

A Quickie I.T for Missing a Couple..

Yes, a quickie!

Since I missed a couple Interactive Thursdays, I wanted to just throw this out there since I just got back from a vacation, I wanted to ask you about yours!

Topic of the Missed Weeks:

What were your two or three best vacations and why? 

Mine:

1. Spain/Portugal trip -- i loved Spain, it was beautiful and gorgeous and we were in Malaga, which is Costa Del Sol. Beautiful!! 

2. Costa Rica -- i loved Costa Rica just for the same reasons for Spain, it was beautiful, I learned a lot, a great experience. Different from Spain because it was a third world country. I really like third world countries, I feel like I actually belong there and I am not just a re re tourist who doesnt know anything. 

3. Venezuela --  because I went with my best friend at the time and stayed with her family and saw Venezuela and the cities and the beaches from a local standpoint --- craziest experience ever... my most vivid memory --- being in  a night club on New Years Eve night after the ball dropped and leaving the club and it was LIGHT outside and around 9am....   CRAZY :)  thats' how we do.  I dont have that many pictures online because that was before facebook lol.

Comments? Thoughts?! 

New York Newwww York --I'm Home!

I made it back alive!

I have so many comments and blogs to catch up on its going to take me a couple of days but I have many posts to write about my 14 day trip to Peru. It was very interesting and Macchu Picchu was AMAZING -- first world wonder that I have ever seen in my life. But it was great. I have 4 bazillion pictures to upload and a million more loads of laundry to do.

I really just want to take a shower because the water in South America does NOTHING for my hair! lol 

So.... soon to come of me updating you on everything and my interestante trip...

Oh how I miss speaking Spanish though.... I was really actually getting good at it! a ha ha ..

ciao amigos
