These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things . . .

Hey All,

As you all know I am a broke college student, (Sad Face). And therefore, any purchase I make has to be one that I am really excited about. Lately,there have been a lot of things that have excited me, which is a good thing because I can share them all with you but my bank account isn't too happy with me!! I am the type of person that when I find something awesome I have to share it with everyone, and I mean everyone. So, why not share it all with you! Be prepared for me to shove these items down your throat because I really like them! So check it out!

Books Edition .

Series

The Hunger Games. You probably could have predicted this; everyone is obsessing about these books. My sister Ali read these books awhile back and oftened raved about them, trying to convience me to read them. Usually I am the one telling my sister about amazing books so for the roles to be reversed... It was damaging to our relationship. Secretly I have always wanted to read them but didn't want to give her the satisfaction.Eventually, I caved. Going behind her back to take each book when I didn't think she would notice; long story short, she caught me and I havent been able to shut up about them since. After they released the trailers for the book, I am even more out of control. I am not the kind of person to read a book just because they are releasing a movie for it and I really don't like when people see a movie and suddenly think they "read" the book because they saw the movie... I am talking about you Twilighters. I loved Edward Cullen before R-Patz ! So don't just see the movie people. Or see the movie and then read the book. Read the book first because I promise you will not be disappointed.

Book

After being inspired by the Hunger Games, I have been really into sci-fi books. But, I am a girl and from time to time I want a sappy, heart warming, easy read. Nicohlas Sparks. He is my "sappy novel" cocaine. I read his books knowing of the emotion rollercoaster I am about to encounter. It's vicious! Unfortunately, I just can't seem to quit them. Awhile back I read "The Lucky One" and immediately feel in love with it. It is by far my favorite Sparks book! (Yes, it is better then The Notebook! I said it.) And now that they are turning it into a movie and none other then Zac Efron is playing the lead male character. I have read it another two times since I heard this news, just to picture Zac (the object of many of my fantasy's) as Logan. Just think, Zac Efron, marine, love story, and dogs. A few of my personal favorites. How could one resist!

I hope you all enjoyed reading about my favorite books at the moment ! I am thinking about posting a new favorite thing every Sunday! So keep watch!

And for those who have not seen this trailer yet. Enjoy!

Behind The Fringe Of A Whiskey High . . .

I just wanted to take the time to give a huge shout out and a happy birthday to one of the loves of my life Jenna Marie Cassidy. She is and forever will be one of my closest friends and I sincerely hope that this birthday is one that she will always remember.

Growing up I feel like I had a lot of friends coming and going. It seemed like every other month I had a new "best friend". I have recently come to the conclusion that I used that term way to liberally. It not that these individuals were bad people by any means but with things and time people change and grow apart. Realizing this as I got older I went into every friendship believing that soon that "honeymoon" phase would be over and we would both move on; maybe this was even a downfall to a lot of my friendships. So naturally when I started becoming closer with my now closest friends Michelle and Jenna I had the same hesitation and thought that this would be another temporary friendship. When Michelle went away to school and left Jenna and I in Orangeville, I thought that this was it. The end. I was happily mistaken. If anything when we were apart for that year it made our friendship stronger. And now the three of us are living in three different towns, attending different schools and I find that we are closer then ever.

I know that when I say that these two are my best friends I mean it, wholeheartedly. And when I think about the future I know 100% that we will always be close. We WILL be friends forever. So, I guess your stuck with me ladies.

Here's to a messy and happy birthday to one of the most beautiful individuals inside and out; Jenna "Tipper" Cassidy. Soon we will all be on a whiskey high and bohemian dancing.

Love you forever and always!
