• A walk in closet
• A fenced in backyard.
• It must be a house. (No more of this apartment shit.)
• A dishwasher.
• Plenty of storage space.

Pros :

• If I'm there, that means I was accepted into the program, and that is awesome.
• Graduating will mean a college degree and a more successful future.
• It will be an opportunity to meet new people, and be in a new environment.
  • I'm over Billings.
• Not being surrounded by people that I know, and fun things to do, will give me more time to focus on school work.
• Evan and I have done the long distance thing before, and it only made our love stronger.
  • It's an opportunity to write each other letters, and do cute things for each other all the time.

Cons :

• I am extremely OCD about tangles in my hair. All I can think about when I'm in the wind is how badly I want to brush my hair.
  • This is the absolute worst thing about wind.
• Because it makes dust and junk fly everywhere and it gets in your eyes and hurts sooo bad. Or dirt gets in your teeth and makes them gritty. Gross.
• You usually have to walk with your head down and can't see where you're going.
• Random garbage and things end up in your yard, or something that you left in your yard flys away.
  • Like those little plastic swimming pools, or inflatable things.
    • And lawn chairs. Or those umbrellas for y...

(She's my dog)

• She knows our routine. Every morning when I get up, she comes in the kitchen with me while I make Evan breakfast. When I leave to take Evan to work, she goes back to bed. She knows that I will be right back home to come back to snuggle with her, and she's always extra snuggly in the morning.
• She learns new tricks really fast. Her latest is shake, and it's soooo freaking cute when she shakes, I could give her treats and shake her paw all day long.
• When I get home from work, she is always sleeping in the bed, and waits for me to come say hi. Her fur is always messed up on her face when she wakes up and it's freaking adorable, and funny.
• She never barks at other dogs when I take her on walks.
• She has only had a couple potty accidents...

• Get a second piercing in my right ear lobe to match the left.
• Buy a new bumper for my car.
  • Tail light
• Get this awesome tattoo.
  • But I don't know if I really want one, or where I would put it.
• Buy the series box set of Friends.
• Donate all of my old shirts that I never ever wear.
  • Throw away all of my old shoes that I never wear.
    • I just have a hard time getting rid of these things. I don't know why. (But I finally did it.)
• Get a different hairstyle.

I can't decide who I dislike more than who, so these aren't necessarily in order. A.

• You suck at your job 90% of the time.
• Your butt chin is very unattractive, and it bothers me to even look at you.
• You are soooooo freaking fake, it drives me crazy.

T.

• You act like a 5 year old most of the time.
• You need to take responsibility for your own acts.
• You need to stop acting like you are the best thing that ever happened to the Olive Garden.
  • Honestly, we would be better off without you.
• When I am expoing, you seriously need to ...

• Drink more water.
• Take Luca on more walks.
• Putting more money in my savings account.

• Exercising.
  • Mostly Wii Fit.
  • When the weather is nice, I will run outside again.
• Saying nice things to Evan, in place of the sarcastic mean things.
  • He does it to me too. We're always joking, but it still isn't nice, or positive for our relationship.
• Trying to brush luca on a daily basis.

Dear Larissa, thanks for letting me steal your idea. Greatest one ever. You're the coolest. <3

• I don't like loose hangers being all over the place between our clothes in the closet. They all have to be at the back, together.
• When I set alarms, I check them at least ten times before I can fall asleep. I will literally be laying down with my eyes closed, after already checking my alarms like five times, and I will get up and re-check, just to make sure it's set to the right time, A.M., etc. The thought of not waking up when I have to freaks me out.
• I despise the sound of doorbells and knocking on the door. I wish there was another way for people to let me know they are there. For some reason, these sounds freak me out.
• I obsessive compulsively brush my hair. I have a hairbrush in my bathroom, bedroom, purse, car, and coat pocket. Tangles in my hair drive me crazy, and I brush it a...

Every asterisk is someone new.

• You are sooo adorable right now, napping on the couch. You mean everything to me. You don't know how badly I want to marry you.
• You are making the wrong decision, and we wish we could get that through your pretty little head.
• The sound of your voice is worse than a car wreck. You are a rude, mean, ignorant person and I don't like being around you.
• I admire you, and I'm proud of everything you are, and you are the most amazing father to your children. They couldn't be more lucky.
• I regret all the tears I cried over you, asshole.
• You're the best, and I can't imagine what my life would be like if you would never have come into it. I loooove you.

Seriously. I try sooooo many different mascaras, and still haven't found one that I really really like. Larissa says I should try Clinique, so that will be my next buy. I don't know exactly what I want for my lashes, but I know I haven't found it.

    • "Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody."

• Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I don't know why I always take the same way home. 80% of the time, there is a train. However, when there isn't a train, it's a super fast route.

• When Evan takes his socks off inside out.
  • He also does this with his shirt.
• When servers don't check back until after you've finished your food.
• The fact that Evan basically never takes Luca out to potty in the middle of the night.
• My neighbors chain their dog up to their railing and the chain isn't even long enough for the poor dog to make it to the yard. It poops and pees all over the sidewalk right by their stairs, then they walk in it. Disgusting. Take care of your dog!
• When the toothpaste tube gets messy.

• Babbs
  • She was a homing pigeon. We had a huge coop in our backyard, and about 25 pigeons, but she was my personal bird. She had feathered feet, and a feathered crown, and was peach and white colored. She was beautiful, and so sweet, and would sit on my shoulder while I walked around outside. She got eaten by a police man's dalmation that ransacked the cage and killed almost all of our birds. =( That was the end of that.

So, my sister wants me to start scrapbooking with her. I have a few reasons why I don't want to get into scrapbooking, but even more reasons why I do. Everyone suggests starting with recent events and not going back in time.

• A cute lovey page with all the cutest pictures of me and Evan
• Luca bear from puppy to current

• Original Tart Frozen Yogurt with fresh Blackberries, Boysenberries, and Blueberries.

• It doesn't feel like home.
  • I was so sick of living in Pryor that we didn't take the time to look around. This place was available and ready and approved us, so we jumped into it.
  • I am definitely moving out in November when our lease is up.
• The sprayer on the kitchen sink has basically no pressure and is useless.
• The bedroom closet is not nearly big enough.
• There isn't enough storage space.
  • Most of our things are being stored in Evan's parent's camper in Pryor because there is nowhere to put anything here. You know, all those things that you need, but aren't necessities.
• No dishwasher.
• No AC.

Funny how life works like this.

• I never knew what gluten intolerence was until my friend, Bailey, told me she can't have gluten because it makes fluid build up in her kness. Now it seems like everyone and their neighbor is gluten free. Has it always been this way?
• Tori introduced me to the song Animal by Miike Snow (amazing) and now I hear this song everywhere and on everything.
• I saw Twilight in the theater without knowing anything about it, and never hearing of it previously. After seeing it, I realized that Twilight was actually a national phenomenon.
• I went to Vegas for my 21st birthday, and now it seems like everyoneeee is going/has gone to Vegas since then. Maybe a lot of people were going before, but I never noticed!

• When I had just gotten my learner's permit, I was backing my brother's car out of the driveway. I accidently ran over a huge rock that was keeping the mailbox up, and tore off part of the bumper. Oops.
• In 9th grade, I was sitting in the middle of the front seat in my friend's Tarus. We were pulling out of our school's parking lot, and BAM, she hit a lady riding her bicycle. The windshield caved in on us, and that lady's face was jacked up. Scariest accident ever. The lady ended up having to get reconstructive facial surgery, but she is okay.
• Shortly after that accident, I was with the same friends in the same car, and we got rear ended while crusin' 24th street. I was wearing my seatbelt, but it didn't lock, and I hit my head on the dashboard. I sat in the back of an ambulance for a long time, but I never went to the hospital. I had hyperextended whiplash, and that guy's insurance paid for me to go to th..._My mom made me stop hanging out with thos..._

• Less procrastination.
• Less spending money on fast food/going out to eat when I could make dinner at home.

• People who specifically post a questionnaire bulletin, not because they want to do it for fun or entertainment, but beacuse they want to use it as a vent to complain about their relationship issues.
  • That's immature and annoying.
• Girls that put their orientation as Bi because that is some sort of cool trend?
• The "MySpace" pursed lip pictures and mirror pictures.
• Girls that take pictures of their bodies, like lifting their shirt up or wearing a bikini, specifically for their MySpace album.

  • When people don't put the lids back on the soup all the way.
  • Cheese graters left on the counter instead of on the shelf. Don't be lazy, servers. Trays left out are even worse...unless it's clean and has a full cheese grater on it, and is ready in my line of 3 when i'm expoing.
  • When they don't throw away the little cup after putting the ginger snap crumbs on the cheesecake, or the chocolate pieces on the gelato. The garbage can is right there!
  • When servers go out of their way to pull a chair up when I'm cashing them out. I'm incredibly fast at it, so is it really necessary to sit down for those 2 seconds?
  • When servers tell me I need to pull a soup. Don't tell me how and when to do my jo...
