i'm an artist. if i do say so myself!

i have found something that i love and that i am wayyy effin' good at. Splatter Painting. hells yeah! at the pottery shop today, i totally splattered some kick ass stuff! yesterday it started with the mug i made for jeffie. today a beer stein for a b-day present. and then i had to so much fricking fun that i splatter painted some pendents. i think that i will make these into a sweet necklace to wear to when we go see forever the sickest kids later in may. i may even splatter paint my own shirt. yo. that would be frickin sweet. the only thing better than wearing an awesome outfit is the look on peoples face when you told them you made it. yeah, beat that bitch! oh fyi- i have never met lindsay lohan, but i do not like her at all. if she comes on tv i change the channel. she's such a fucking drama queen. and her 40-year-old-trailer-trash-smokers voice is annoying. isn't it weird to think that i am the same age as her, but my life is so much better. first of all, i'm not a skinny bitch, second of all, my mom isn't like, my bff, and third of all, i wear a bra. ugh, she just pisses me off. yesterday she was on ellen complaining about her life. w/e. she's 21 and already has been to rehab for a drinking and drug problem, i think i see a problem. but idk, i'm not a doctor or anything. we found this awesome thing called chacha you text ANY question to 242242 and they will answer it. for good fun, ask naughty questions, like "how do you give a boy an erection?" god, i'm so frickin bored at work! xo-k

Flirtexting

Dos and Donts of Flirtexting As you can probably already assume, Flirtexting is when you flirt through texts. There is also Sexting, which is dirty texts. But that's a whole different blog that I think I'll leave up to Kendall to write. She has more experience with that =] I've came up with a list of things that you should and shouldn't do when you first get a dude's number or first give him yours. Dos * Do text him within a reasonable amount of time after you recieve his 7. Send him a friendly hello within the first couple days of getting his digits. Introduce yourself and keep it classy. * Do get to know him. Ask him about himself. And tell him about yourself. * Do send smile faces and winks when it's appropriate. --> =] my personal fav * Do compliment him without coming off as a whore. Simple things like: you looked way cute today.... ;) * Do ask him out over a text. That way you can avoid all the awkwardness that you can sometimes come across during a face to face conversation. (some dudes would prefer to be asked out in person though, so idk, use your best judgement) * Do text him after a date, and tell him thank you. Even if you plan on never going out with him again. A simple thank you is okay. If you plan on seeing him again...."thanks for the great time tonight..cant wait 2 see you again =] " * Do text him daily. Even if it's a simple Good Morning ;) or Hey, how are you? If he doesn't wanna text back, then he won't. * Do have fun when texting him. * Do send him classy pics if he asks for one. With your face in the pic and a nice smile. Sexting would include a boob shot. Not flirtexting. Keep it clean. Don't come off easy. :) * Do tell him you miss him making you smile. :) Dont's * Don't talk about sex within the first week of meeting this dude. You will come off as a hooker whose just looking to score. If that's the case then you should be sexting, not flirtexting. * Don't confess your undying love towards them...right away. =] You'll most likely come off as desperate, and I hear that's a major turn off. * Don't text one word texts. This is annoying and unnecessary. You might as well not even text them then, or waste your time. * Don't use lol after EVERY single sentence. It's okay to lol often, but not too often. or even l(ing)mao is okay too. * Don't talk about serious serious issues while flirtexting. Nothing too personal either. Im sure dude doesn't care about your last period, or the fact that you're having mixed feelings about your sexuality. * Don't go long periods without texting..or even calling...him. It's okay to play 'hard to get', but don't play 'so hard you'll never get me'. * Don't bitch and bitch about something to him. Chances are he could care less anyway. And you're going to send him running. * Don't go overboard and hound him with texts. * Don't send forwards. Period. They're lame and useless. And come off as being childish or having no life. * Don't resend the text more than twice if he's not responding. If he's not getting after sending it twice, then he's simply 'not getting it.' Use these as guidelines. Of course each guy is going to be different, but it's up to you to use your best judgement sweety. Oh, and I would like to point out that I spoke with a dude to collaborate this list. So it's pretty legit =] He also said it was okay to use cutesy nicknames with him. But idk. I think that was just that guy in general. lola (laught out loud alot), =] L

Clubin' with the Ladies

This weekend, I went out with a few ladies that I love, Lacey, Miss Mal, and Chelsea. I have realized that when you do this, you should probably have a few ground rules to ensure that you aren't waking up decapitated in a ditch somewhere.

1. Always have a buddy. Just like in kindergarden, hold your buddies hand when you move. Your buddy is there to ensure that you don't get lost, don't get on unattractive men, don't get sick, and that you are ok! you in turn make sure your buddy is having fun and keep her from getting on unattractive men and from unattractive men from getting on you. To ensure that when a guy comes up behind and grinds on you, you aren't going to turn around and check him out, so your buddy will check him out for you and give you the go ahead. We use hand signals. A ear pull means he's good, a nose wipe means he's gross. If your buddy can not get away from a gross guy, HELP HER! pretend to be her girlfriend, or whatever it takes!
2. Don't drag your purse with you to a club. Have pockets or bra space to keep these necessaries you; an ID-to get into clubs and bars (duh), you phone-in case of an emergency and to text cute boys with, Cash-to pay for your drinks with at first. If you talk to an old guy, chances are he'll buy your next drink. Debit Card-for more cash if you need it, and to pay for your late night Mac attack and taxi ride home.
3. Dress cute, but look approachable. We like V-neck tee shirts they say "here are my boobs, but I don't really wanna dress like that hooker over there." you can always have your jewelry and hair say what a total rock star you are.
4. Shoes. These should be worn at all times. Wear some heels, they make you taller and stand up straighter in them. Don't wear some 5 inch clear plastic stiletto. you want something that you can move in not just stand there in, or worse, can't even stand in. In the summer flip flops and flats are good, just feel good!
5. Smile! you can be suprised what good smiling at strangers can do. I can't lie when my buddy was moving us around the club, I kept smiling at every cute boy I saw and I even winked at some, or maybe I was blinking, lmoa. but it worked good cuz I talked to a boy, until my buddy told me that he was old. haha.
6. Don't ever except a drink from a stranger. EVER. you have no clue what someone has put in that drink. If someone wants to buy you a drink go to the bar with them! I can't stress that enough.
7. HAVE FUN! what's the point if you aren't there to have fun!?!

Hot Topic Boy part 1--reissue

* This is a repost to go along with part 2, that's directly after this blog. I posted this specific blog back in January. I wasn't really sure what to write tonight. And since it's been a few days since I've wrote something, I figured I would tell a story about a boy! Go figure. I've got a million and one stories, so why not? Let me set it up for you: I notice this guy one day, and I frequently see him around. Well I think that he is maybe, no quite possibly the most attractive guy that I have ever seen. (my type: dark hair, light eyes, average body, awesome smile, great style) Not only is he the most attractive guy, he seems like he has an amazing personality too. (very outgoing, social, and always smiling whenever i see him) So I'm not a stalker or anything...but...okay maybe I am. I go out of my way to just catch a glimpse at this dude. I go to the place where he works, shopping for nothing in particualr, just to talk to him. Okay..let me remind you that I'm in college and broke, so all the money I spent just to get to talk to him..well idk how I scraped up enough change to do it. But anway... Okay so I go to this store one night, lookin smokin...trying to look smokin at least...with two of my friends. I had planned out what I was going to say and everything. How i was going to approach him and give him my number, tell him he was cool and we should hang out sometime. We get there and I totally freak out. Anxiety, I'm a chicken...whatever. So we're browsing, and he comes up to me to see if I need help....well duh of course i'm going to fake it...i need help. He comments on the smell of my gum, I offer him a piece, blah blah. Kind of a random approach, but amazing still. Long story short, my friend gives him my number for me cause i'm a total dork and freak out. He doesn't text....nothing....til the next day. ha ha. So i'm not usually a patient person. At all. You could probably say I'm the least patient person you know. Yeah. I try sending subtle hints that I think this guy totally rocks. Well like I've said before, guys don't get subtle hints. You have to lay it in front of them. A month or so goes by since I've given this guy my digits. And nothings happening. I'm starting to give up hope. Starting to think that he has a gf already and stuff...which I'm 89% positive he probably did. Anyway... He ends up going to the town that I live in to go to the casino, with a buddy or something. Well I happened to be at this club with my friend that night as well, so I said that we should meet up later. Well they ended up coming to this club, we all had a few drinks, danced our butts off, and hung out. Did a little dirty dancing, ya know, the usual. It was a great night. Lots of fun. I realized I really liked this guy. Maybe a lot. But I didnt know what to do. I didn't wanna seem like a creeper and tell him I liked him. By this time, we'd been talking, oh probably 3 months or so, kinda flirting on and off. Nothing too big. So I asked him to hang out again. We did. It was awesome. He was everything I thought he would be and more. Just a genuinely great guy. But something was off. I still can't quite place it. But. I think we maybe hung out one or two more times after that, and havent since. We text here and there, and that's fine. I see him at this store and we talk, he calls me pretty. =] no biggie. ha ha. I've told him I liked him....when I was drunk lol. And i'm pretty sure that i've made it obvious that I liked him when we hung out. I mean, I think making out and making waffles, constitutes as liking someone, most of the time. Well this was definitely one of those times. So, he just wasn't that into me I guess. I thought he was. But I thought wrong. Guys are very difficult to understand. I kinda gave up on this guy. I pursued him for a long time, and I dont regret it or anything, or think it was a waste of time. I realized that if you like a guy, you should at least try to pursue them. You never know what will happen. But it just baffles me because I know for a fact that he liked me too. I could tell. Oh, and not to mention that he text me last night saying that he missed me making him smile. At two in the am. Sorry to bother you he says. Um, are you kidding me? I love the fact that you miss me. But... Ugh. Either you think I'm cool or you don't. But, a girl can't and shouldn't wait forever. If you like a guy and express that you like him, and he's not man enough to do anything about it, then forget it. He's the kind of guy that will be wishy washy his entire life, and that's not something you wanna deal with. Honestly. So even when you think you may have found your true blue 'prince charming' chances are you haven't. And I don't mean to sound so negative. But you just never know. And you have the rest of your life to find out. I'm moving on. But smiling at the same time. Cause it was great opportunity, and it made me realize I was a lot less shy than I thought. And i absolutely love the adrenaline rush of meeting a new person.=] <3>

HTB Part 2

This is a sequel to my other blog about HTB (hot topic boy). I prefer not to use real names, just incase. I guess I should probably start where the last one left off... The end of January. Well, i had thought for sure that HTB didn't like me more than a friend. I had dropped all the hints that i was really interested in him, and got no response. Well a few weeks later, I decided to go out to the bar with my friend Kendall, and we went out in the town he lives in. So we met at his place and went out. Blah blah blah. It was an awesome time. Well Kendall wrote a blog about this night (archived in Feb) and how he was saying that he thought i was cool, and asked if I had any boys. So...then i assumed that he maybe did like me? Grrr. A few weeks go by. Nothing. We just texted back and forth. Casual flirting. I would meet up with him every once in a while and get lunch. Nothing too serious. But I still couldn't get over this dude. He was just stuck in my head, pretty much every day. It's so hard knowing that you like someone, and not knowing for sure how they feel about you. I wanted to tell him everything, but was afraid of being rejected. Rejection is not a cool thing. So here come the part where the story gets interesting.... I start dating someone else. So as i write this part, i continue to ask myself, why i didnt tell him directly that i liked him (htb). Anyway...so i guess i gave up, i got so frustrated that i started dating someone else. As i've mentioned before, i'm the least patient person ever. i jump to conclusions that i shouldnt....But I still really really thought HTB was so amazing and awesome, so I couldnt stop talking to him. So i didn't. I didn't tell him that i was seeing someone else, cause i guess i didn't think it mattered. I didn't think he would ever like me. Okay so a couple months go by, and we hang out again. Another amazing time. Idk how to explain how happy he makes me feel whenever i'm with him. I can't stop smiling. He gives me the biggest butterflies everytime i even think i'm going to see him, and i just feel like i connect with him somehow. He's just overall, the coolest guy i've ever met.... So, i have a few too many drinks one night and decide to tell him how i feel about him. I tell him pretty much everything i've ever written about him: how awesome i think he is, how much i like him, and how i would totally not move to minnesota for him. He says, we should talk about this when youre not drinking. Okay cool. We get lunch the next day.... At lunch, he tells me that he likes me too. And wishes that we would have told eachother sooner. Because he just decided about a week and a half ago, that he's moving to LA. He has nothing holding him back in wisconsin. awesome. I mean no biggie. I've only been trying to get with this guy since, oh, last September. but whatever. I'm not bitter. Okay i am bitter. I'm frustrated, and making a big deal out of it. Guys are dense. Unless you tell them directly to their face how you feel about them, they'll never ever know. Or choose not to care. I wish i could change the past, but i can't. living life without regret is hard to do. fate sucks sometimes. So what to do? Well, im not sure at the moment. There isn't too much i can do i guess. he leaves soon, and he's going to find way cooler chicks in LA. He says he's not looking, and that's fine. i believe him. i mean it doesn't matter...but what girl in their right mind wouldn't go for him? he's 'the package deal' or whatever that saying is. ha ha. As of 8pm tonight, i'm currently single. and i'm going to stay that way for a long time. boys are complicated. almost too complicated for me. I could give this dude my all, everything. but i guess friendship will have to work for me. for now. who knows what will happen in the future... So the lesson to get out of reading this: If you find someone that you absolutely like, then you need to go after him. Don't be afraid of rejection. You're going to be rejected your whole life, oh well. Get over it. I think I would rather be rejected than not know at all. I'd rather try, than watch him walk away. Don't be a sally. Boys don't approach girls anymore. You have to be the one to chase them. The world doesn't work in the old fashioned ways anymore. Ugh. Learn from my mistakes. xo L
