Today is about as good a day as any. I have no idea what that means, but let's just roll with it. Happy Sunday, loves. {Beware the Monday, too is what I feel I should add.} I'm kind of {read: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - and yes, I did have to look up the spelling to that} excited right now. It is finally the day that I get my skin forever ruined. Hahaha, no. I'm just getting a tattoo.
...that, as previously mentioned, I am getting my tattoo today! {At 1:30EST to be exact! Wooh!} I cannot wait to show y'all. The only thing that I am quite anxious about is the pain. I kind of have an iffy pain tolerance level, and I hate needles, sooooooo....let's see how this goes.
...that finals are coming up in a couple of weeks {unless my school decides to push 'em back because of the extended school year}. I pray that finals are not pushed back because after I take them, I refuse to go back into that hell hole called Hellaissance Renaissance.
...that my family is getting a kitty! And guess what we decided to name her...KITTY. Hahaha, oh my gosh, no. That's a joke if you haven't caught on by now. I'll reveal her name once we get her, and I decide to overload y'all on my Instagram and over here with photos of my soon-to-be-baby.
...I leave for California in a month and some days. Holy cow. This is getting unreal, y'all.
...I am going to be a junior, baby! Oh yeah! No more being an underclassman until I get to college and restart the process alllllll over again. {Boo.}
...this crescent that I am munching on is so good. I just really wanted to throw this in here. ;) Hehe.
This week....well, I can hardly come up with anything to say about what I have been doing fitness wise {eating and working out}. I went to the gym once and danced a few times. That's not good; no bueno. My motivation is lost, and I desperately want need to find it. My pants have been fitting a little bit tighter than they need to. Maybe if I keep thinking about that, I'll get my mojo back and hop back into the gym. Then again, I also cut my ankle, so it has been extremely painful to walk on it. That's another factor in why I have not been in the gym. Sucks. I know.
Eating well has also been slacking on my end. I had Pad Thai {seriously, why is this sooooo good?!}, Xochi's burritos + rice combo, Wendy's 6 piece spicy nuggets {after the gym, too - bad me!}, and something else that I know I am forgetting. I made notice of all of this though. I've decided to cut back on my plate portions, which I have been doing good at, but I just want to make note of it once more.

Road Trip, Baby
By Unknown 10:00 AM a day to remember, canadian tuxedo, dance, denim on denim, distressed denim, frayed edges, inspiration, music, outfit post, right back at it again, road trip, what i wore
When this is posted, I am most likely going to be on my way back up here to Michigan. Sucks.
This is my "Canadian Tuxedo" and my ode to the summertime, all-in-one. The weather is not quite warm enough to bare all of my legs in shorts yet, but it is getting there! (Insert giddy emoji here) Tennessee was heavenly! OH MY! I wish I could just move there. The weather was amazing and....just everything. ;) Harhar.
I purchased these shorts about two years ago (or something like that) from Forever 21. They were not originally frayed at the ends, but after I swam in the ocean in them, they ended up as is. I'm quite glad that I did because I love it like this. At first, I was kind of put off by it, but I've grown to adore the frayed ends. Now, let me just work off some fat on my thighs, and I will love to don these shorts all. summer. long. {Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" all summer long!}

Quirks of Mine
By Unknown 10:00 AM dance, fall out boy, funny, music, quirks, where did the party go
I think the struggle that a lot of people have is embracing their quirks. Quirks [defined as 'a peculiar behavioral habit] are something that I feel we should embrace wholeheartedly. I know that I love all of mines. Some are funny, and others are seriously weird. Regardless to what they are like, I smile and try to not feel ashamed by what others may deem "seriously weird" or "freakishly crazy." Quirks are what helps to make someone...well, him/herself.
Here Are Mine
|One| I stick out my tongue when I smile a lot. If I do not know what I want to do in a picture, or I have a time on, which gives me more time to contemplate my pose, my tongue goes out on instinct.
|Two| I say 'LOL' outloud sometimes.... Instead of just laughing like any normal person would, I actually say the acronym. Hahaha. I'm kind of getting better at this, but it still happens occasionally.
|Three| I get super emotional over television shows. Is that weird? Probably. ;) Harhar. Last week's episode of Teen Wolf made me legit, legit cry. I burst out in tears and my hatred for Jeff Davis increased by 5 million (although I still love him for even creating the show). Applied gif below was totally me last week.
|Four| I correct people's English and grammar whenever we are in a conversation or I am reading something that I wrote. I am a Grammar Nazi, sue me! I am trying to work on this, but it is reaaaaaaallllllllyyyyy hard. Do not say "So, she don't..." *PAUSE* It's "She doesn't."
|Five| I end my declarative sentences (which ends with a period) with question marks sometimes. I do not do this when I am writing a paper, but if I am texting my friends, and I mean to say something that is definite, a question mark is still added at the end as if I am unsure. Such as on Sunday, I sent a text message to my friend that said, "Precious, don't forget to bring the folder tomorrow?" I half meant that as a statement and half as a question. I wanted to remind her, but kind of wanted to know if she was still going to do it.
|Six| I interrupt people sometimes to fill in the blanks of what they are saying. For instance, if both my sister and I were both involved in an event, and she decides to recap what happened to my mum, she sometimes (read: a lot of times) forget to tell pertinent information. So, well, I kind of blurt out "and yada yada" around the part that it happened. Everyone generally gets annoyed when I do this, so I'm attempting to zip my mouth shut, but it's kind of hard. Hahaha. Sowweeee.
|Seven| I hate paper cups! Ewwww. I guess I am a glass snob, but I dislike drinking out of paper cups. One, I always chew the cups, which leaves a gaping hole on the side, and two, it feels weird.
|Eight| I am too honest. The other day {More like awhile ago, as this was written back in March.} when my mum and I were at McDonald's, I ordered a McChicken and a side of small fries. They gave me two McChickens and a medium fry. Wellllll, I told her that I only ordered one McChicken and a small fry. Let's just say that my mom was bewildered. I can't help it! Telling the truth is what was instilled in me as I grew up, so it's a habit now. Besides, I don't bother telling lies nowadays because the truth will always get out. So, there's that...

Road Trip Playlist
By Unknown 1:02 AM adam lambert, black veil brides, bvb, country, dance, music, road trip
Vacations have always been my favorite thing to do during the Summer, Winter, Spring...Fall. Yeah, so pretty much whenever I can have a vacation, I take it and run with it. Sorry, I'm not sorry. ;) Haha. But something that beats air-travel vacations is road trips. They are fun and there is plenty to see. As someone once said (and that someone is me), "The view is the reward, the destination is just a benefit." That to me, is what I live by when I travel. That is why I like road trips much better.
But sadly, there will always be that one thing that frustrates you on the road trip. Just one thing. Regardless to whether it be one of your roadie companions, or something you see, or an arsehole driver on the road - it irritates you to the point of no return. Well, until you forget about it, of course. That's not the point, though. The point that I am going for is road trip playlists. Why? Ahem, that should be a no brainer, but for those who are still confused, let me expand on this subject. Road Trip Playlists are lifesavers! They have specific songs for a road trip, and that includes your favorite songs (duh!). And what does your favorite songs do? Well, they make you happy - or at least somewhat content.
Whenever I go on a road trip, I usually select a playlist to play the entire time. I do not know why, but it happens. On my road trip to Iowa last summer, I listened to all of Avril Lavigne's albums. On my trip to Georgia, I listened to Sleeping With Sirens and Pierce the Veil. The list goes on from there (from previous years to now). If I were to go on a road trip now, then I would have the songs on my playlist that are listed below.
1. Strut by Adam Lambert, This song is just so freakin' dance-worthy. Every time that I hear this song, I just want to get up, sing my heart out, and dance. And guess what? Even in the car, I will sing my heart out and dance. It may not be enough room, but I will do it! Give it a listen here. It is from his 2009 album For Your Entertainment. (i.e. You MUST listen to this song on full blast to get the effect of it.)
2. Trespassing by Adam Lambert, Another Adam Lambert song on the playlist, 'course! What'd you expect? His music is simply perfection, and something I could really listen to on a road trip. Imagine waking up in the middle of the night from a cat nap, you're still on the road mind you, and you have nothing better to do than listen to music and watch the passing scenery (haha, it's still dark - what?). This would be the best song to just bop your head to the beat with and dance awkwardly in your seat to. Haha, love that! Check it out here. It's from his 2012 album Trespassing. (i.e. Once again, you MUST listen to this on full blast to get the effect. I. Am. Not. Kidding.)
3. Summer Nights by Rascal Flatts, This song is just...it's just...needed. There is no real explanation as to why this song needs to be on your playlist - ESPECIALLY during the Summer. It is a fun, chill song that you can drive down the road and enjoy the summer time with. This song just makes me happy. Point blank. Here it is, on Rascal Flatt's 2009 album, Unstoppable.
4. Intoxicated by The Cab, This song is more on the chill side, but it is nevertheless a perfect song for a road trip playlist. It is something that you can tap your feet to and shimmy a little to. Haha, am I making sense? The song just needs to be listened to if you want to understand. Here ya' go, love. It is found on The Cab's 2011 album Symphony Soldier.
5. I Don't Want This Night To End by Luke Bryan, Besides the fact the Mr. Bryan is one hot piece of man, his music is something that I can listen to endlessly. The words of this song is just something that makes you want Summer to stay, Summer nights to come, and Summer parties to never end. This song is so good that even my sister (who absolutely despises country) likes it. Give it a listen here. It is from Luke's album Tailgates & Tanlines from year 2011. (i.e. Give a listen to the song Drunk On You. If you watch the videos, then you'll understand. The two songs are tied together. Enjoy! :) )
6. It's My Life by Bon Jovi, This is a lovely song to sing-a-long with! Trust me. Wind down the windows, blast this song, and just enjoy. And sing, of course. And even if you have no idea what the lyrics are, make up some. The song is just that fun. Check it out here. It can be found on Bon Jovi's album Crush in year 2000.
7. Life Is A Highway by Rascal Flatts, This is one of the greatest road trip, Summer songs. Ever. You cannot tell me that you have not heard of this song. And if you try, I am no longer speaking to you. A fun, upbeat song that can have everybody singing within seconds, this song is a done deal with spicing up a road trip! (i.e. turn this up waaaay loud for maximum effect.) You may find this song here, and get it from Rascal Flatt's 2011 album, Artist Karaoke Season: Rascal Flatts.
8. Cruise (either this or the Remix) by Florida Georgia Line, You had to have been expecting this. No? Well, I guess I am a mystery. *nods head with dark shades on* Anyways, this song is one of my favorites. These guys are one of my favorite bands. But, if you have not noticed, this song (mainly the remix, actually) is way overplayed. It is so overplayed to the point where it gets so annoying and I no longer want to listen to it. So, instead of listening to the remix, I turn on this bad-boy original and let it just play. It makes me happy. :) Check it out here, and you may find it on their Here's To The Good Times album from 2012.
9. Get Lucky by Daft Punk, Okay, now I know that you had to see this one coming. As one of the hottest new songs playing on the radio now, it is impossible to not like this song. Even though the meaning behind the lyrics might be quite dirty, it is still a very upbeat, chill, yet dance-able song. Haha. Get it? No. Whatever. :) But this song is something that I cannot help but to sing. Sorry not sorry. Get lucky here, and it is 2013 single feat. Pharrell Williams.
10. Don't Ya by Brett Eldrege, Of course my favorite song has to be on this list. This song is sung by a hunk of a man with a deep, lovely voice. Anddddd, the song is very catchy and you have no choice but to sing along with it. Yep, I said it - You. Have. No. Choice. :) It is one of those songs where you dance, sing, nod your head, tap your foot, and teasingly flirt with someone. Haha, just kidding (about the last one - not really). Anyways, this one just puts me in a happy mood. Want to see what makes me so happy? Click here. And then, go check out Brett's single from 2012.
*Bonus Track - 1985 by Bowling For Soup, This song is the bonus track because it is total road trip worthy! I mean, listen to it. It is a classic, and it is very catchy. "Looks at her average life, and nothing, has been ALRIGHT." Sorry, I am listening to it now and that line just came on. hehe. ;) Now give the song a listen and check it out from their 1999 album A Hangover You Don't Deserve.
What are some songs that you guys listen to during road trips? Regular vacations?
Song choice: 'In The End' by Black Veil Brides. Am I the only one who has a newly found addiction for this freakin' amazing band? Yes? No? Okay. Nevertheless, they are incredible, and I love Andy's deep voice as he sings...and when he talks. haha. Anyways, go and check out BVB's new album Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones. You will not be disappointed!
