This is NOT the part where it gets sappy!

I suppose I've been almost hesitant to post here because there has been much contemplation lately. No, I'm not giving up blogging or any sort of that nonsense. On the contrary, I may be making a transition over to Wordpress to start all over once again.

Reasoning? Well, upon reading back on my posts here I've realized that despite how hard I tried, there are still a few too many posts that are completely sad sack ridden. It's not that I'm ashamed of this blog (because believe me, I adore this blog more than I can say) but I want to get myself really OUT THERE in the food blogger world.

Food is one of the greatest passions in my life and I still don't feel that I'm embracing that fact to the fullest. I want to be able to tell people that I have a food blog and not have them actually go to see it and then see posts that have absolutely nothing to do with food at all. My random silly things will always have a place in whatever post I write but I want my blog to have food reviews/food pictures/nutrition facts/etc. I have a lot of belief in my own abilities and know what I'm capable of.

I KNOW I can create a kickass food blog that will rival that of the ones that I consider to be my idols and I am very willing to try!

So, what's the next step? I think someone is going to be moving soon. It's one of those "stay tuned!" sort of deals. When I final get all everything together, I'll post where my new bloggie home will be.

I guess this is goodbye to this blog. Ew, goodbyes aren't really a strong point of mine and anyway, it's not really goodbye! Just a move... a move to bigger and better things! Look out kids, it's going to get good =D



Peace out loves! For now.........

Short, sick and to the point

This is day 5 of my mystery sickness and it's starting to reallyyyyyyyyyy annoy me. Coughing, random hot/cold spells, overly tired, sore throat...... er, are those FLU symptoms? Cripes! What I'm hoping is that it's just a ridiculously strong cold and that by Monday I'll be at least remotely better. Resting this entire weekend should be a good move (I hope!)

So as anyone can imagine, I haven't be doing much exercising at all this week, or eating for that matter. Food reviews and exercise updates and TRUE bloggie-ness will be in the future. Until sickness has officially left the building, I leave you with this.



Why yes.... I do like your little trees. =D

Oooh, baby baby!

And here I am, suddenly deciding that three weeks of not blogging is an appropriate amount of time to, well, not blog. To say I try to be a good blogger is an understatement. Whoooops. At least I have the decency to have these makeshift disclaimers at the beginning of every post!

Let me just jump right into a very important topic...

APOLO.ANTON.OHNOIn as simplified words as possible, incredibly sexy. I have only just realized my utter obsession with him but have embraced such an obsession fully and in stride. This includes a countdown to the start of the Olympics and watching all his Dancing With the Stars videos on Youtube. Let me tell you, watching his dance to "Push It" is probably one of the best things I have ever seen. On the HOLYWHOASEXY scale from 1-10, it's at least a 15. Don't get me wrong though, he's also world famous and has won endless gold metals for being a truly talented speed skater. It's a nice reassurance that I'm wiping the drool of my face because of some male model.

Sorry Zoolander, there's more to life than being really really good looking.



What did we learn? Apolo Anton Onho = PURE SEX. =D

I apologize for the suddenly hormonal bursts that seem to be a constant factor in my posts. First it's Robert Downey Jr. and now this? Uhm, I could have sworn this blog USED to be running and food associated.....it appears that someoneeeeee is being a little male crazy!

I have been severly slacking when it comes to writing down all my health associated everything. I need to start the creativity going again with food and get over whatever sudden sickness I have been plagued with so I can continue running! It will get better.... just gotta believe!

Colorful albums and snowflakes.

Good morning, good morning, this morning, good morning... I don't suppose anyone has ever seen that clip made fun of on "The Soup"? Mmm, didn't think so.

Oooh, I just saw the cover album for the new Muse album and it's totally my thing! Although, as we all know, judging a book by its cover is not how life is suppose to be handled. But come on, look at it!

Maybe I just stop basing what I like off of whether or not it features a lot of colors. Maybe I should try listening to it. Put that on my to-do list....

So I woke up this morning and right off the bat I already knew that it was going to be a less-than-fabulous day. After reading my horoscope today I'm pretty sure that staying in and focusing on my writing will be what I do. It mentioned a cause that I'm passionate about and it's true that I have been VERY adament about writing lately. Soooooo, that is how I shall be fighting the bad mood that is looming over my head as I type. Bad mood = ED inspired. Let's just leave it at that.

On a good note though, I finally got my tattoo yesterday evening! I'm very happy with the way it turned out and I figured if ever there was a more appropriate time to get a matching sister tattoo, it was now. Considering how things have been going in my house lately, it just seemed right. The process itself was completely fine. People asking me if it hurt and honestly? It didn't. I've realized that I may or may not be something of a masochist and I may or may not have enjoyed it.......... cripes.

Why yes, I DO have a picture of it!

Tadaaaaaaa. It's nothing really elaborate. About two inches at most but a truly lovely snowflake to match that of the ones that both my older sisters have. I think it has even more of a personal meaning for me, being born in January and all. I have more than clearly expressed my ridiculous love for the cold and the snow so the snowflake is even more perfect. But gaaaah, I definitely have the ink bug! I want mooooooore now! =P

That's my ramblings. Done and done. Have a good day everyone... keep away from the bad mood!!

Elementary my dear!

Buying books. It's a pain in the butt but it must be done. Thank Merlin.....

Thank Merlin? What do I think this is? Camelot?!?

Well, either way the deed is halfway done. Just waiting on one other class and then I'll have completed my twice yearly "give-Rider-more-of-my-money-because-you-know-they-don't-already-have-enough-of-it-as-it-is." Psshhhh. Seriously, $44 dollars for a book I can't sell back? I think not my friends.

Oooh, my currently obsession: Robert Downey Jr. in Sherlock Holmes.

Walking into a room to find this man strapped to a bed naked?? Ummm, YES PLEASE.

Other than the fact that is super sexy, I don't really know too much about RDJr. as an actor previous to this (legit, I didn't even know that Ironman was made into a movie. Does that make me a bad person?) I think he did drugs or a DUI or something of the sort but nevertheless, he was absolutely brilliant in this role. I really liked his onscreen relationship with Jude Law AKA Dr. Watson. Sherlock Holmes mysteries are on my never ending list of "THINGS TO READ!" but I sincerely appreciate that when I do in fact read them I'll have this smashing man as the image in my head. =D

And not for nothing, Jude Law honestly looks much better with a mustache!
Two thumbs up from the chick in Garfield!


What kind of post IS this exactly? Time waster. That's what.

Wrap up the year with some ole' fashioned pictures!

My post to celebrate the year that was 2009! Good things and some not-so-good things but lest we dwell on the bad and indulge the good with some awesome pictures! =D


2009, in a nutshell!


Tradition! My foot is the one with the open toe which is not the smartest choice when there is snow on the ground.... the show we went to see was, er, interesting but trips to Princeton and then random-ness in Burger King can't be beat!
Celebrated my 20th birthday with Rider shenanigans, cookie cake and lots of dancing!
Take us seriouslyyyyyy!

Road tripped to Pennsylvania to see my favorite gay and his popcorn machine. Hahaha.

2009 was definitely the year of Dr. Goldie. Some of the best moments of the year included: "How would you say it to your *whispers* gynocologist?", CAKE and the Cloisters! Just a few of the many things that makes me so so so so glad to be an English major.

I decided to give into my obsession and be Benjamin Franklin for Halloween! And I looked badass.

Thanks to Professor Naar, I discovered that I really do love art. Went to MoMA and saw AMAZING paintings with my own eyes!

It was my year as a member of PHOCUS! The Peer Institute, countless rehearsals and the performances were amazing experiences. Nothing but love.

Saw A LOT of these two ladies the entire year, including my first ska show (Streetlight Manifesto =AWESOME) A trip to Rutgers is always a fabulous experience!

During the summer the entire Rider crew traveled to Amelia's house in Toms River for a little reunion =D

Celebrated my roomie's 21st birthday! And look, we actually touched!

A poem for your thoughts? Good grief.

Hellooooooo everyone! My internet has gone all wonky so I'm not going to post anything too detailed right now. However, I feel the absolute need to post this poem that I wrote about HIM. Don't ask me why, it just feels right. Hahahaha, granted it's lame but it works.

Oh and P.S. @ Jess. Your comment was, without a doubt, one of the NICEST comments I have ever received in my life. Thank you, SO SO SO MUCH for the kind words and I definitely hope to be having little commenting battles back and forth via blogs =D

And now.... the lame-o poem. Enjoy!

There’s nothing you have that I want anymore

Equal perspectives?

Not at all.

I saw love.

You saw friendship.

Only an apple and some lettuce.

10 pages due the next day

Your meticulous blinking and hazel eyes convinced me to help

Not that I needed much convincing

How did I write that?

I never even read the “The Hours”

Always good to have an English major as a friend

7 cups of coffee each and an all-nighter

It got done.

Basking in accomplishment

I didn’t feel used

I felt loved

You hugged me when it was finished

Mrs. Dalloway and Virginia Woolf as the only witnesses

Trapped in a repetitious paperbound cage

Yelling to me

Muffled screaming

It’s all a bunch of lies

He USED you.

It’s OK girls

I know he did

A+

One of the best papers I’ve ever written

Drunk and crying on the bathroom floor

No really, it’s OK for men to cry.

Let it out.

Yes, of course you’re talented.

No, you’re not allowed to drive home.

Yes, we can go to a diner.

I’ll drive.

Pancakes at 5AM

Genuine and impervious

Drunken banter

Mouthful of pancake

You slur

You know I love you, right?

I should’ve spit my coffee in his face

Back home at 6 AM

Bad habits don’t die very easily

Bye bye pancakes.

Typical summer night

Smoking a cigarette and staring at the stars

Waiting for your call like a complete sap

I’m the sap

Admitted.

1 AM you finally call, drunk again

Typical.

A threesome you say?

Not what I wanted to hear

You trust me though

Enough to talk about something like that

Sex details for a good friend

More than willing to kiss and tell

Telling me is nothing out of the ordinary

Oh right

I forgot

We’re just good friends

The fights

Instilled in my heart, permanent to the very last word

I still fixate on them

You ignore every feeble attempt I made to speak

Tagged teamed me

Some sort of intervention

No, I didn’t toss you to the side like a piece of garbage

You’re too important to me

You KNOW I love you.

Ignorance.

Things could be a lot worse

It’s not that bad

I’m not going to die

There is no heroic feat to be done.

Egotistical bastard.

My world does not need saving.

Put your god damn cape away.

What happened to the person I fell in love with?

Gone.

Kind of like the pancakes.

We need a break?

But...

...

A break from what?

No, I don’t need help.

You blink

What did you eat today?

Go fuck yourself.

That’s it.

5 months later.

Concentrated on myself

Therapy, lots of it

Freshman year debachery is all I have left of you

But...

...

My priorities are straightened

My problems are fixed.

No more robotic responses.

You wouldn’t believe me even if we still talked.

For real.

Yes please, I’d love a sandwich.
