<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I just felt like moving. I wanted a different sort of focus and such, and I felt like it'd be better to start from scratch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So...yeah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Bye! </span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The only thing I can actually do halfway decently is knit, so knit it is!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In other news, hi, I just remembered I have a blog. I tend to forget that a lot. Probably because I can never think of anything interesting to say.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Which isn't really true, cos as I'm typing this, I'm thinking of a kajillion and five things I should say. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm really excited, because I've found two of my three roommates for college next year, and they're super awesome, and I can't wait to meet them. And on top of that, I signed up for the Leadership Safari thing my school does, so I get to move in a week early in the fall, and hear interesting speakers and stuff. I'm excited for that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Plus last week it was announced that my theatre company is going to be doing <i>The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe</i> for the spring show, and I am so flipping excited. I can't wait!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">True chiz.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Also, I'm going to try to start up the blog challenge again, and as usual, it's going to take me like, six months to finish a 30 day challenge. I really need to work on that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But for now, I'm going to go eat some Cheetohs and either continue to peruse Etsy, or actually go do something myself. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

I've barely even been on my actual computer all this time too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yesterday was my birthday; it feels kind of weird to be a legitimate adult now. Nice, but strange.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And I finally got my Kindle today. I'm so happy. :) I can't wait til I can get my checking account set up and start buying awesome books. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've also acquired a roommate for next year. She's an awesome girl, and I'm looking forward to meeting her in person in a few months. I think it will be a fun year.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I guess that's about it, other than to say that I'm (hopefully) back now.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

Like, almost every shade of blue.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love bright, clear sky blue, robin's egg blue, the deep, murky blue color of twilight. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love the quiet, calm sort of blue that happens at dawn and right before sunset. Then there's the inky blue-black at midnight, that's nice too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I like ice blue, and the syrupy blue of a blue raspberry slushie, and TARDIS blue. I love the sad kind of greyish blue when it rains.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I like the royal blue of my class ring, and soft, baby blue, and the blue that's hard to explain on my favorite cardigan.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I like blue. Blue is good.</span>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-53847520384456734882012-02-11T19:06:00.000-08:002012-02-11T19:06:53.362-08:00Day 20: If You Had A Time Machine, Where Would You Go?<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I would most likely go to the past. I would go to Revolutionary France and chill at Versailles. I would go hang with Vincent Van Gogh, and Shakespeare, and Agatha Christie, and all those cool people. I'd check out Victorian London. I'd go way, way back to the beginning and see what really happened. It'd be a grand time, really. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And I'd do it all while wearing a fez. Cos fezzes are cool.</span>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-33117823668885444972012-02-10T13:47:00.001-08:002012-02-10T13:47:55.654-08:00Day 19: Talk About Your Siblings<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Wow, this will be a short post.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am an only child.</span><br />

Things have changed a bit), this is probably gonna be a long post.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My dream wedding... Well, the colors would be ivory and ice blue. My bouquet would be 12 lillies with an ice blue ribbon around them. My bridesmaids dresses would be ice blue silk: </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My cake would be a three tiered red velvet cake with a raspberry filling in the center and cream cheese frosting. (Now I really want some cake).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It would be in the fall, maybe September or October, in a traditional type church with stained glass windows and pews. </span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yep, that sounds good to me. I'm sure there are a million other details I could think of, but I save that stuff for when I'm actually planning the wedding.

Be nice to me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. Be supportive of me! And be there for me, no matter what. Be my shoulder to cry on, and all that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3. Surprise me (sometimes). Surprises are nice. Sometimes.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. Be intellectual and be able to carry on an engaging and witty conversation with me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">5. Perversely, be silly and a little crazy! Life's more fun that way.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">6. Be a nerd.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">7. Like Harry Potter. 6 & 7 aren't exactly mutually exclusive.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">8. Have a sense of humor!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">9. Don't be condescending.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">10. Don't be a jerk, a player, a womanizer, or a douche bag. Be sweet, romantic, sensitive, sincere, and fun. Like me for me. Be yourself. That's all I ask.</span>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-26704925199822886172012-02-06T13:47:00.000-08:002012-02-06T13:47:45.811-08:00Day 15: 5 Things You Would Say to 5 Different People<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1. I lurve you. :3 </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. You seriously make me want to shoot myself every time you open your mouth. Don't get hit too hard in the head with anything, cos you need all the brain cells you can get.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3. What happened?</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. "Boo, you whore." And other things related to Bridesmaids and Mean Girls. And also Alan Rickman. (You know who you are.)</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">5. I miss you! And you! And also you! (Cheap shot, that was directed towards three different people. Way to cheat the system.)</span>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-87677963436292597332012-02-05T09:34:00.000-08:002012-02-05T09:34:38.642-08:00Day 14: 10 Things About You People Don't Really Expect<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm gonna assume this is from the viewpoint of someone who doesn't know me well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1. I'm really sensitive. And overemotional.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. I have conflicting interests. On one hand I'm a total nerd, but I also love fashion, and things such as that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3. I can be really loud.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. I can be really quiet.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">5. I'm outgoing around people that I know well, but around people I don't, I'm usually pretty shy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">6. I'm a dog person.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">7. I like crafty stuff, and making stuff, though I'm not particularly great at any one area. I like knitting, and I'm getting better at it, and I also like making jewelry and sometimes sewing. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">8. I eat a ton. My friends can vouch for this; I'm always either eating or wanting to eat.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">9. I'm not really very good at math or science, nor do I like either at all. A lot of people think, oh, she's smart, she must be great at everything. Nuh-uh. English is where it's at for me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">10. I also absolutely suck at geography and sometimes history. It's more selective with history, I can remember a lot about things I'm interested in (17th century France, mayhaps), but ask me about any of the wars, and...nada.</span>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-36326106766184783072012-02-02T18:51:00.000-08:002012-02-02T18:51:34.179-08:00Day 13: Something That Never Fails to Make You Feel Better<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">No matter what I'm feeling, no matter how sad I am or what's got me down, there is always something I can turn to that will make me feel so much better: Harry Potter.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Over the last 12 years, whenever I was bored, or lonely, or sad, or upset, or anything such as that, I knew that grabbing a Harry Potter book or popping in one of the DVD's (or in the really old days, VHS's) could always brighten my mood. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The characters J.K. Rowling has created sometimes feel more real to me than people I actually know. Is that sad? Maybe. I don't care. They've all been my friends for as long as I can remember, and I've quite literally grown up with them, in more ways than one.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I know that no matter what, the books will always be there to make me feel better about myself, or at the very least, take my mind off things for a while.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's so sweet and sad and funny and the music's great. And it has an amazing message. "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1. Spiders. And insects of any kind. Really, the only bugs that don't totally freak me out are butterflies, lady bugs, fireflies, and dragon flies. And that's cos they're pretty.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. The unknown. I hate not knowing things, I hate going into new situations and not knowing exactly what to expect and how to react. I don't do well when I don't know what's coming, I get really anxious and tense and upset.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3. The future. It kinda goes with the previous one, cos mostly what scares me about it is that I don't know how it's gonna turn out. But I'm also excited for it too.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. Being alone. Not momentarily, but in the long run. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">5. Car crashes. Yep.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">6. Losing loved ones. Self explanatory.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">7. FROGS. Those creepy little buggers freak me right out. I can't stand to even look at pictures of them. Cartoon frogs are fine, sometimes even cute, but real ones... ugh.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">8. The dark. Or, what's in it that I don't know about.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">9. Failure. Also self explanatory. And disappointing people. As in, being a disappointment to people.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">10. Singing in front of people. Freaks me right out. And to think, I used to want to do that as my career. Really rational, that. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">11. Pain. I don't like being in pain. Obviously.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yeah, that's about it, I suppose. Lots of things freak me out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-68711539499480571052012-01-30T17:59:00.000-08:002012-01-30T17:59:24.337-08:00The Windy City<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love Chicago!</span><div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And I had such an amazing time there this weekend. We had a really scary ride to the train station on Saturday morning, but after that, it was smooth sailing indeed. The train was lovely, and I definitely plan on traveling by it more often.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We went shopping for the first few hours, and had lunch at Noodles & Co. which is now my favorite restaurant. I'm preparing to google the nearest destination as we speak. And I bought a bunch of stuff at Forever 21, including an awesome hat and scarf combo.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We stayed at the Congress Plaza Hotel, and it was amazing. It's super old, having been built in the late 1800's. The architecture and decor were amazingly beautiful, as in all the old buildings in Chicago.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They have a gorgeous old ballroom that's been in movies and stuff that's called the Gold Room. We ended up sort of breaking into it, but it's a testimony to how nice the people at that hotel were that the guy that apprehended us offered to turn on the lights and show us around. It was awesome. Although I'm still convinced they're hiding something in that wing of the hotel, it was dark and mega-creepy.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After a while, we went down to the lobby to catch a cab to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Steve, the ever helpful concierge, asked if we needed a taxi, and where we were going. When we told him, he asked a man that he'd been talking to if he'd take us, and the guy nodded, and then asked us if we wanted to take a stretch limo for $5 a person. The answer was a resounding heck yes, so we piled into the white stretch limo and relaxed for what was definitely the classiest couple of miles of my life. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After we had dinner, my aunt and I went to the Oriental Theatre to see<i> Mamma Mia!</i> which was totally awesome, and I loved it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The next day, we saw the Bean, which was trippy, and walked all the way out to Navy Pier. Two and a half miles. Phew. But we saw adorable penguins there, so it was totes worth it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The whole trip was awesome, and even though I'm totally sleep deprived, I kinda wish I were still there.</span></div>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-2410193341140427922012-01-30T17:13:00.000-08:002012-01-30T17:13:27.874-08:00Day 10: 3 Things You Are Proud Of About Your Personality<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Err...</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Umm.. I know this one...</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Okay, well, I'm proud of the fact that I'm smart. Yep. I'm all for being demure (*cough* no self confidence *cough*), but I should probably just embrace it. I'm a smart kid.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm proud of my creativity and my general artsyness. Like theatre, and stuff like that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm proud that I'm a nerd, and that I know how to laugh and have fun and be insane, because life is so much more fun that way. I'm proud that I don't care too awfully much about what most people think of me. Just the ones that matter. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Erm...that's it, I guess.</span>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-63417650278457606232012-01-27T13:25:00.000-08:002012-01-27T13:25:44.211-08:00Day 9: The Best Thing to Happen to Me This Week<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hmm... the best thing to happen to me all week? I would have to say it's something that hasn't happened yet.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Tomorrow morning, I'm leaving to take a train to Chicago for the weekend for my graduation trip. While I'm there, I'm going to see the musical Mamma Mia too, which is mega exciting.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm so jazzed for this trip. Obviously, I mean, I just used the term jazzed. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm gonna go to H&M, and the Cheesecake Factory, and Water Tower Place, and... ooh, Tiffany's! I'm soooooo excited for Tiffany's. Not that I can afford anything there, but it's exciting just to be there.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I can't wait for the trip. Chicago is one of my favorite places ever, and I haven't been there in over four years. So, yeah, mucho excitemento. I'm pretty sure that's not actual Spanish.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Buh-bye.</span>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-90220402070943821672012-01-26T19:33:00.000-08:002012-01-26T19:33:55.407-08:00I NEED THEATRE<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">At this point during the year, I should be diligently and frantically working on the winter show for my theatre company.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am not doing that at this time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Due to our difficulties at the beginning of the year, we're behind schedule, and only doing one mainstage show this year. The Children's Theatre crowd are working on their performance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (which I'm really excited about). But I have to wait until the end of February until anything starts up for me really.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">AND I THINK I'M GOING CRAZY.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have nothing to do. It's driving me nuts. I'm inexplicably frustrated for no reason. I feel like I have no sense of purpose, no usefulness. I go home, I watch the same shows, I do the same things, at the same time. No variation. Nowhere to be and nothing to do.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm going mad. I've come to the conclusion that I'm literally having theatre withdrawal.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I miss the mad rehearsals, and the early mornings, and late nights, and sleep deprivation, and crazy inside jokes, and costumes, and character shoes, and all that other good stuff. I'm sure in a couple of months, I'll be all like, Hey, remember when we didn't have theatre, and got a normal amount of sleep and didn't feel tired all the time? Yeah, haha, funny.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But seriously, I need a hit of my drug. O___O</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">'Kay, I'm done ranting. I'm gonna go to bed now.</span>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-45414148017838545282012-01-26T13:22:00.000-08:002012-01-26T13:22:27.505-08:00Day 8: A Date I Would Love To Go On<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I don't know why, but ever since I was a little girl, I always thought that the most romantic thing ever would be to go ice skating at Rockefeller Center around Christmas-time, when their massive Christmas tree is all lit up, and it looks so festive and pretty.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I really dunno why that's always been my epitome of the best date ever, it just has. I guess because when I was little, I really, really loved Christmas, and I've always wanted to go to New York. I've also always wanted to go see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I really hope someday this will happen. It's something I've <i>always </i>wanted to do, ever since I can remember.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Which is weird, cos I can't really ice skate. Whatever, minor technicality.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">P.S. I got this picture here: </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.andykazie.com/keyword/decorations/1/1615804451_z3ckJtc#!i=1615804451&k=z3ckJtc">http://www.andykazie.com/keyword/decorations/1/1615804451_z3ckJtc#!i=1615804451&k=z3ckJtc</a>. <span style="color: #0b5394;">Don't wanna be infringin' on anyone's rights. Plus it's a cool picture, and deserves credit.

Which sometimes seems like a crazy long time, and other times seems like it's completely flown by.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But either way, it's been the most wonderful year and a quarter of my life.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I like him a lot. He's a wonderful person; he understands me, sometimes when I don't even understand myself, and he makes me laugh, and he supports me no matter what, and he makes me feel like a better person.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He's the Remus to my Tonks, and the peanut butter to my jelly, and a whole host of lovely euphemisms such as that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He's pretty freakin' awesome.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">:3</span>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-4551700955011830532012-01-24T14:03:00.000-08:002012-01-24T14:03:32.706-08:00Day 6: Something You Are Currently Worrying About<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Being a generally worrisome person, the correct answer to this question is everything.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">However, specific-wise, one thing I've been worried about for a while is college. Obviously. It's kind of front and center in my mind, and it has been all year (and even before that).</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My biggest concern is how I'm gonna pay for it. Obviously, I've been applying for all the scholarships I can get my hands on. The FAFSA's not gonna be a super big help for me, and I'm not really keen on getting a ton of student loans and being way way in debt when I graduate at 22. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Which at times seems impossibly far away, and other times like it's right around the corner. Though I suppose I ought to focus on graduating high school first.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And I'm worried about classes, and studying, and which dorm to choose, and whether or not what I'm majoring in is going to help me out at all in the real world. I'm freaked about roommates and paying bills and trying to balance out doing too much with not doing enough.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yep. Exciting times indeed. Stressful, but exciting.</span>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-916417725868816402012-01-23T06:02:00.000-08:002012-01-23T06:02:04.318-08:00Day 5: The Person You Like and Why You Like Them<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The person I like is my boyfriend. Derp. It's only logical.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Then again, I know of a few people that don't use the same kind of logic. But oh well. This post isn't about them.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My boyfriend is a wonderful person. He's sweet, and kind, and caring... Basically, to not repeat myself a kajillion times over, he's everything I wrote about on Day 3, was it? I had him in mind the entire time I was writing that post, so it makes sense.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anyways, I like him a lot, cos he can be both silly and serious, and we both like British stuff, like Doctor Who, and Sherlock, and obviously, Harry Potter, and we're nerdy together, and it's awesome.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And he always has chocolate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I like him.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">'Kay, bye.</span>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-87894672991603061512012-01-22T10:34:00.000-08:002012-01-22T10:34:32.496-08:00Day 4: 5 Things That Annoy You About the Same Sex/Opposite Sex<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><u>5 Things That Annoy Me About Girls:</u></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1. The ones who think it's cute to act like a total idiot.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. The ones who think they can't actually like anything or have hobbies or anything because that would make them seem nerdy, and therefore unattractive.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3. Backstabbing, petty, shallow, immature ones.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. Duck face. Enough said.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">5. The ones that think they can't do anything without the approval of their friends or their boyfriends, or that think it's absolutely imperative to have the latter.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><u>5 Things That Annoy Me About Boys:</u></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1. The ones that think that you're only a real guy if you like sports, and grunting, and beer, and spitting. Not cool. Let's have some class.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. The ones that think they're God's gift to women, when they are so clearly not. Or actually, even if they sort of are, if they think that highly of themselves... no.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3. Anyone who qualifies as a douche. You know what I mean.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. Guys that brag about what they did with whom to their "friends" to look cool.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">5. Guys that put girls down to look cool, or who treat girls like crap. See also: cheaters, sexists, and womanizers. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I don't really think anyone actually enjoys being sick. If they do, they're weird.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I feel like crap, I'm getting nothing done (not so sure I would be getting stuff done if I <i>didn't </i>feel like crap, but I'm just gonna blame it on the illness), I can't taste or smell anything...blech.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">All I've managed to do today is watch most of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. I watched enough of it, that is, to realize that it was a bad idea to watch it. So I wiped the smeared mascara off my face, sniffled a few more times, and turned it off. Then I organized my DVDs, cos they were scattered all over the place and it was suddenly aggravating my usually dormant OCD.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now I'm blogging. And after that, I'm gonna eat some ravioli and maybe watch some Doctor Who. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yeah!</span><br />Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454078664788873534.post-42096757697537815302012-01-21T16:36:00.000-08:002012-01-21T16:36:13.705-08:00Day 3: What Type of Person Attracts You?<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I need someone who will be nice to me. That's a given, obviously. Everyone needs that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Someone sweet, and romantic, and that can be spontaneous. But not all the time, because that gives me anxiety issues.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Someone intelligent, with whom I can have intellectual and engaging conversations.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Someone nerdy! Someone who likes Harry Potter, and Doctor Who, and all that good stuff. Or at least someone that can respect that I like that stuff, and make an effort to be involved.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Someone who will support me, and believe in me, no matter how crazy my ideas get. And no matter how many times I say things that start with "when I'm rich and famous..."</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Someone with a good sense of humor, that's a must. I need someone who will make me laugh! </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Someone who wants to travel, who shares the same sort of ambitions. And someone who wants a family, eventually. And marriage. I couldn't deal with someone who was afraid of commitment, or something like that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Someone optimistic, but also realistic. Someone who'll help keep my feet on the ground, but at the same time, who'll go along with my foolish, indulgent, idealistic notions for at least a little while.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Someone who brings me chocolate a lot. I like chocolate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Most of all, someone who likes me for who I am, and doesn't want me to change. Because I've tried before, and it's probably not gonna happen. I am who I am, craziness, frizzy hair, shrill voice, obnoxious laugh, and all. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And the best part is? I've already found someone who meets my requirements. :)</span>Lizzayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311282767564767947noreply@blogger.com0
