Birthday girl

Look how spoiled I was <3 I had the best day! I woke to breakfast and presents from my mom then went to school. Kevin picked me up for lunch and we went for Peter's burgers and to the mall where he bought me a cute birthday outfit :) after school all my friends came out for wing night and I got more presents! The best was definitely a Pandora bracelet from my BFF and a Barbara Rihl purse from my daddy.  

I love being the birthday girl!

127 hours

I have been waiting to see this for so long...

`` 127 Hours is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston's remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crushes his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in
Canyonlands National Park of Utah. ``

Ralston says the rest of the movie is
"so factually accurate it is as close to a documentary as you can get and still be a drama."

Most effed up movie I've seen in a long time, the fact that it's a true story just makes it so much crazier. It didn't have that much of a story line to it. It was pretty much just watching a guy stuck in a cave for 5 days with a few flashbacks and thoughts in between but I guess that's what makes it so realistic. James Franco was absolutely amazing in it, he made the movie so much better and played the part to a tee. His acting was so believable that when I walked out of the movie I literally wanted to cry and puke.I could feel his pain and agony throughout the movie.  

I wouldn't watch it in a theater again but it would for sure be a good one to rent. If you want something different that's not your same old movie, watch this one.

you're all i think about these days

It's so crazy when someone you know dies. Even if you weren't close, even if you were barely friends at all, it still breaks your heart. 

I recently found out that someone I had been close to in the past has died and he is all I have been thinking about for days. We honestly had not said a word to each other in over 3 years and it would have probably remained that way. Our friendship ended kind of awkwardly and to be honest, I pretty much completely forgot about him until I heard the news that he passed away. It's sad when things go this way- that we don't ever think about or remember a person, that was so close to us at one point, until they die and are gone forever. 

I want to encourage myself to revive lost friendships while I can, before it's too late, and remember all the special times I have had  with somebody because I want to, not because they are gone and that's all I can think about.

Mend the delicate fibers of a friendships while you still have the time and appreciate every second you have with someone close to your heart - that's what I've learned this week, I learned it the hard way. 

Rest in peace Trevor, thinking of you <3

Welcoming the new year with open arms.

Hoping that 2011 will have a much better start than 2010 did. I'm feeling good that I ended 2010 on a positive note, volunteering at the hospital on new years eve. 

These aren't really resolutions but more things that I want to work on throughout my life starting now.

New years resolutions:

1. Be nicer to people.
2. Stop judging until I know all the facts.
3. Stop being so superficial and basing so much on appearance, in both myself and other people.
4. Stop getting jealous of other people.
5. Do my best in school.

6. Don't get so discouraged when something doesn't go my way.
7. Volunteer more of my time to good causes and give back when I can.
8. Be a better friend to everyone important in my life.
9. Tell the people I love that I love them.
10. Stop taking so many things for granted.
