Flirting For Dummies…

Last night I tried to flirt with a boy. Because let’s be real…I’m REALLY bad at it. I did not get the flirting gene…at all. The only time I’m remotely good at flirting is when I’ve had a few drinks or if a guy is obviously flirting with me then I feel comfortable enough to flirt back.

So last night I was out at a bar in Santa Monica and a very cute boy walked in. I could tell he didnt live in LA because he looked like a bro. (those dont exist in LA). So in an attempt to flirt with him, without even thinking I said to him as he walked by “Are you wearing a SF Giants jersey in a bar in LA??” and he replied “ha yup…I sure am.” and continued walking. 

Flirting fail. I wanted to slap myself in the forehead right after. I mean I did smile and laugh about it when I said it, I wasn’t rude by any means…but still…when trying to talk to a guy you find cute…do not insult the team they clearly are a fan of. Ooops. :-/ lol

I watched an amazing documentary about Magic Johnson in class tonight called “The Announcement.” I always knew that he was the star NBA basketball player diagnosed with HIV, but when he made the announcement it was 1991 and I was only 6 years old. I was a little too young to really pay any attention to sports or at least understand the details of what was going on.

It was nice to finally see this movie and really get to know why he was so special as a basketball player, how he got HIV and how he has managed to survive 20 years later. I highly recommend taking 80 minutes out of your day sometime and watching it. 

He said the most amazing quote in the film which I really took to heart:
“There’s winning and losing, and in life you have to know they both will happen. What’s never been acceptable to me is quitting.” 

I think that is the best outlook you can have on life. Expect the ups and downs but as long as you don’t quit at whatever it is you try, you can never fail.

Considering how tired I am right now I’m surprised I feel so upbeat… maybe it’s the current coffee high.

But I wanted to write a quick blog about life. And how great I think life is! My friend is turning another year older this weekend and I was thinking to myself how great it is to see all the people around me that I care about growing up! It may seem silly but it’s just so interesting watching friends you’ve grown up with turn into whoever it is they are turning into! ha

Every year I am truly thankful for turning another year older and the life I’ve lived so far. And I’m grateful for every laugh, tear, hard day, happy day… all the ups and downs. It’s all worth it.

is on a dating mission!! I’m going to line up dates left and right, I decided. Who cares if theyre goobers, or some have perfect 10 bodies and I’ll be super intimidated?? You just never know what kind of chemistry you might have until you try, right??? 🙂

Big Day Tomorrow!!!

Kind of loving living on my own for the first time.

Ever since I turned 18 and was able to move out of my parents’ house I’ve had a roommate. I’ve gone from having 1 roommate to 20 roommates (sorority) to 3 roommates and back to 1. Almost 10 years later…I’m officialy in my very first 1 bedroom apartment. And it’s exciting!

It’s like a freedom. I know that every mess in the apartment is mine, I know that every tv show recorded on the dvr is mine, I know that all the food in the cabinets is mine… it’s very peaceful.

I saw this article on Thought Catalog today. Soo funny and amusing. It makes me want to write up my own inner monologue about when I’m on a first date. Stay tuned…

Tonight I was going through my super old email address that I never check anymore and I came across a few journal entries I had written back in 2008. I used to email them to myself so I could later print them out and paste them in my journal. (Once everything started being done on computers, I realized how much faster and easier it was to type my thoughts than to write them by hand)

This is an entry I found that I had written the night before I graduated college. About 3 1/2 years ago. I’ve kept journals since I was in the 4th grade. I wrote in them consistently my whole life until I moved to LA. I’m not sure why I stopped writing when I moved here…but I did. Maybe one day I’ll pick it back up again.

“May 16th, 2008
10:01 pm Friday 

Well this is it….tomorrow I am graduating from college. It feels so surreal even writing those words. I really never thought I’d make it. I still can’t believe tomorrow I will walk across that stage and receive my college diploma. I have never been more proud of myself. Not everyone goes to college and finishes it. People are not forced to go to college the way they are elementary school through high school. So I am very proud that I did it and I’m walking away with a wonderful degree in Business Administration – Finance. I’m waking up super early…like 5:45am and getting ready then Jess, Alyssa, and I are driving together to UNR. It seems like just yesterday me and the girls were driving to our high school graduation and I started to cry because I couldn’t believe it was all over. And now….5 years later…tomorrow morning I’ll be driving to my college graduation. I can’t help but smile. I’m soooo excited! Tomorrow is going to be a wonderful day!”
