CAUTION: THIS POST IS NOT ENTIRELY FILLED WITH EVERY DETAIL AND NUANCE THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. It's the equivalant of Swiss Cheese, which we all know is the best cheese!
Why wasn't I given a courtesy warning about how aggraviting applying to school can be? Seriously guys, I almost had a meltdown today in the library after asking my mom for one bit of information of hers. I'm better now and can actually form words and sentences to chronicle the whole debacle.
This morning after getting my brother up and off to school I laid back down because 7 am is not a great functioning time for me, well I set my alarm to wake me back up at like 10 or so so that I could get some shit done and get this whole thing done and over with. I slept through the alarm!!!! I woke up at noon instead and checked my phone to see the time and nearly fell out of the bed trying to get out so that I could make up for the things I should have been doing earlier.
I had already filled out my Housing App and was starting to feel really good about it all until I went on the school's website and saw that the FAFSA information that I semi-celebrated completing yesterday was not in fact the right thing! I don't even know what the hell I did, nor do I care to say more about it then I'm going to here. I got up, got dressed and damn near flew to the library to fix everything. I got there and filled out the right information and am now almost done, again!! I also went to my old high school to get my high school transcripts and immunization information and I kind of started to miss it. Kind of. I definitely don't miss the "holier than thou" mindsets that some of the kids have these days but it also comes with living in an upper middle class town but actually being lower middle class.
Now all I have left to do is finish the FAFSA (again) and get another one of my transcripts and take the transcripts and housing information to the school. I'm so exhausted.
Also, my deadline in May 2, and I don't have my transcripts for the CC I went to.Though I'm going to try and get them tomorrow so that I can hand deliver everything myself on Monday. My head is going to explode!!
I'm so close, yet it feels so far away too.
I'm chalking today up to yet another one of Life's Lessons.
How is everyone's Friday going?
P.S If you don't see anymore posts from me after the 2nd or 3rd of May then you can assume that I've probably freaked out and ran away or have just gone to sit in a corner and am crying and talking to a plant.

"So, how's your love life?"
The other night I was on Facebook just passing time and catching up with some old friends that I haven't talked to in awhile and some newer faces in my life that truthfully I didn't really want to be talking to at the moment. Because let's face it, when you have nothing to say to that person then talking to them is just a waste of yours and their time.
I digress.
One of my best friend's popped up in the chat box and after a bit of talking about and making future plans she told me that she was possibly seeing a new guy, I love her but the girl doesn't pick em too well. Then again I have no room to talk or judge, my latest adventures with boys have not been anything to get to excited about. Then she asked me a question that I somehow knew was coming, yet it still kind of felt like taking a bullet. Not a big one, maybe just a BB. With all the innocence and sweetmess in the world she asked, "so how's your dating life?".....I simply replied "it's a desert, and I push away any chances of rain that come my way right now." Because I'm crazy like that, I wouldn't mind having someone in my life sure, what girl doesn't? But at the same time I've got too much on my plate and in my sights right now to worry about something like the opposite sex. One day he will come, and then I'll be ready.
But in other news as grueling as this whole applying to college thing is and I'm almost in the home stretch there sure seems to be a lot of new stuff popping up, Stupid semantics, always getting in my way. But at least I'm getting closer and closer everyday.
I just want them to say "Yes" and then my heart can stop racing like Seabiscuit.
Sorry but now I'm curious and am going to ask, how's your love life??
xoxo

Adventures in Babysitting-my version
So despite my exhaustion and lack of feeling in the face today, I have yet to sleep it off STILL! I'm exhausted, but as soon as my mom gets home and can make my brother listen more I can than I'm going to go give my pillow some much needed loving. My mom's little staying up til 2 am thing last night when we all had tons of stuff to do today, and early was nowhere near cool with me.
So today other than having the adventure with the dentist and getting the feeling back into my face I also got to help my brother find his new Nintendo DSi that the Easter Bunny brought him, that I told him not to take it outside with him. He didn't listen and he ran out the door right as I uttered the word" outside". The little shit ran back inside after about an hour of playing and was red in the face and had claimed that a kid in a ski mask and with a backpack had stolen his new toy. My other brother came inside and heard the tale and after some scalding from my brother and from my mom (who was at work) and I we all trekked outside into the chilly night air and began to search for the stupid toy.
We interrogated half of the neighborhood kids before my brother finally spilled the real story! Oh, I was SO pissed at him! Not only because he lied to our faces (duh), he also had my mom so pissed that in her moment of madness she said that if we didn't find it then she was going to kick me out! Not even close to cool madre, especially since I would have nowhere but my tiny car to live in and that's some close quarters. I'm doing my own things already to try and move out though.
Here's what else I did today; I applied to the school I'm looking at and had a little help from a friend that currently goes there with the rest of the process. All I need to do now is get my transcripts from the CC I went to a few years ago for one pathetic semester and from my high school and go to the school and fill out a room application and get my mom to fill out her nine lines on the FAFSA! Then there's the wait, I don't even know how I will deal with that process other than patiently because it would be my only choice. Now that I've done more of the application process the future looks a hint brighter every day.
So yes, even though this is my second post of the day and the day has had it's moments of major suckage it has also been quite productive depending on how it's looked at. Thank you Leanne for reminding me that it really wasn't all that bad.
As a special treat I'm going to copy and paste some of the tweets that I tweeted while under some heavy sedation today at the dentist's. You're welcome.
I want to eat a stack of French Toast right now, or sleep. (before the fun started)
I can't feel half of my face, peace out gitl scouts (yup, the meds have hit. Hence the spelling error)
Dentists should give patients dry erase boards or be required to know basic sign language, lol (I showed this to the dentist's assistant upon hitting Tweet, haha)
I feel like I just got beat up (after the procedure) I looked fine, but I felt like Rocky had just beat me up.
I'm @thelovelygirl on Twitter, if anyone cares.
Oh! I almost forgot that I made a cake tonight, I get bored and I bake the first thing that I see in the pantry. It's terrible. I don't think that it's going to be anywhere near as pretty as Juliet's was but I didn't have the proper tools. One day though.
Have a great day/night everyone

I can't feel my face.
I'm tired, I can't feel the right side of my face and I'm not going to work today.
If you were wondering, yes I did just get back from the dentist. It wasn't that bad but it wasn't that fun either. So this post is going to be a short/crazy post. I got a root canal done today and they had to shoot me up with numbing meds twice, on top on the topical stuff that made my tongue feel like a fat pink slug.
Even after all of the medical shit that I have gone through I still have a problem with needles. I'm usually one tough cookie when it comes to pain tolerance and sickness but a pain in the tooth is a pain in my ass, I seriously act like a guy with the hint of a cold. It's ridiculous!
Have a good day everyone, it's time for me to put in an application, and go to sleep.

40 Days and 40 Nights of NO Facebook
I did what most can't in this day and age, at least no one that I know on a personal level can. Well I have one friend that is hardly on it anyways,but I digress. I gave up one of world's biggest time sucks for Lent-Facebook. I actually think that I have become a little better of a person because of the hiatus, even as I write this I'm not even on it. I got back on for about 4 minutes and I don't have much of a desire to get back on it, at least right now. The addiction may slowly kick back in but for now I'm going to enjoy the release of the death grip that it holds on people.
During my absence on Facebook I have managed to;
-improve my blogging, little by little, hello new and old followers! You guys are the coolest :)
-I have avoided any and ALL of the drama and Facebook that may have been going on in my social circles, a drama free life is a good life in my opinion.
-I have also finished a book that I have been trying to finish for awhile, work and life got in the way. It was great and something that I kind of needed. I also bought myself two books for Easter- Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin (chick lit is a guilty pleasure of mine) and The Help by Kathryn Stockett which is also being made into a movie like SB and Emma Stone is going to be in it!
-My dating life has also been um, active? Though I don't think that taking myself out to eat and seeing movies really counts and going on ONE actual date with a guy counts as having a dating life. But it's whatever.
-I have started the college application process and things are going slightly well, except like the getting in part. Which I'm working on and praying that the process goes smoother than it started.
So the nerves they are a fraying. But everything will be okay, I usually get what I want if I put my mind to it and want it badly enough and this is something that I want BAD!
So I want to know, what did you give up for Lent if anything? How did it go?

East Coast Cats (Guest Post #2)
Hello! I'm Samantha from S.S.Vintage, and today I want to take a moment to introduce you to a couple of cool, New York Cats!
Meet Norman, and June Bug. They live with us, happy little fuzzy balls, in our home in New York. They are brother and sister, and they're going to be celebrating their Birthday's next month! (One year old!)
New York has a lot to offer. We have the Adirondack Mountains and Lake Ontario. Cornell University, The Syracuse Orangemen, Coney Island, The Catskill Mountains, Four Beautiful Seasons, and Buffalo Wings! Not to mention the Cultural Mecca, New York City!
Norm and June aren't really all that interested in our great state. What really makes their day is when a bird or squirrel is within view from the window.
Norman is a shy boy. He cries when he thinks he's alone, but he'd be embarrassed if he knew I told you that. He is one of the sweetest animals I've ever met. He loves to get himself entirely under the blankets, and every time he enters a room he meows as if to say 'Hello'..
Favorite Food: A Wendy's Baconator.
Nicknames: Fish, Teddy Bear, Tedford, Mr. Smooshy Face.
Now, here's the Princess.
I'd never name an animal 'princess' but, if you met June, you would absolutely understand. I think she was just born into the title. June Cat's hair is so long and soft, it actually parts down her back. I've never seen anything like it. Sometimes we questions weather or not she's actually real, or just some creature from Narnia. She's beautiful, I feel pretty lucky she lives with us.
Fun Fact About June: She can only make two expressions: Grumpy, and Grumpier! But both faces look adorable.
Nicknames: Poopsie, June Face, Grumps, Princess.
Thanks for taking the time to meet my Cats! Stop by S.S.Vintage for occasional photos of them, they're growing so fast right now!

A tale of two kitties: The West Coast pt. 1 (guest post)
The other day I asked one of my newly found friends from Twitter and the blogosphere if they would do a guest post for because my brain was out of any sorts of ideas for you guys. This is one of them. Enjoy and Thank you Tammy and Rosco!
Hello everyone. My name is Rosco P. Coltrane and Tammy (PuNk rAwK pUrL), asked me to help out her friend Nicole by writing a blog post. I am a cat. I am a very smart and charismatic cat. But I am a cat. And as a cat, I haven't written a lot of blog posts in my life. I don't really know what to write about it, so I think that I will just tell you all a little bit about myself.
I just turned 11 years old last month, but everyone says that I don't look a day over 6. I am a Pisces, which is a fish. I like to eat fishes, so I guess that makes sense. When I was a baby the vet told Tammy that I am an Abyssinian mutt, or an Abby Tabby. I was named after the bumbling sheriff from the 1970's TV show The Dukes of Hazzard. Tammy has a lot of nicknames for me, such as: Bosco, Professor-Stinky-Bottom, Rosco-fina, Little-Dude, Booger (cause she picked me), Sir-Meows-a-Lot, and a bunch more.
Things I love::
I will have my own column on Tammy's blog soon. Basically the pets of bloggers can email me & ask me for advice on different things. It will be called "Dear Rosco". If you are a pet and your human blogs send me an email to request the format for being featured in my column. Dear_Rosco [at] me [dot] com
thanks for reading! all of this typing has exhausted me and I am now going for a nap.
xoxo

p.s. I have my own set of photos on flickr. Tammy talks about me a lot on her blog. And you wanna see the items that I oversee quality control of... you can find them over at Tammy's Etsy shop.

Things I love::
- My scratching post with the hot pink springy pom pom on the top. (Tammy points and laughs a lot whenever I use it.)
- People rubbing my feet or my tummy
- Catnip. (I know where Tammy keeps it and I try to break in and get it sometimes)
- Modeling hand-knit hats, scarves and cowls. ( I prefer alpaca, cashmere, or angora)
- Grooming people... or anything with hair/fur.
- Chewing on pineapple leaves
- Rolling around in the bathtub after the shower has just been on and then licking myself dry... it saves me A LOT of saliva.

A little cooperation please!?
So I'm at Starbucks writing a post...again.
But I came with a reason (zero wifi at home) and plenty of gusto today I was going to fill out my FAFSA and apply to the school that I want to go to, and I was doing just fine on my progress of the form until it came to 'Parent Finances' and since my mom is at home slothing around on the couch and wouldn't let me use her desktop to fill it out to avoid further procrastination I came to write where I usually always do. Anywoo, I got to the main tab of PF where they ask about taxes and how much you're worth and all that shiz and since my mom is there and I'm here I was calling and asking her questions. Some she answered pleasantly and then I called one last time asking her about tax info and the shit hit the fan. She told me, "I don't feel comfortable with you sitting in a Starbucks giving out my personal and financial information to these people, it's none of their business, let alone yours!" Suffice to say I saved my progress, which was nearly at 100 percent by that time and am here now, venting.
I know why she is pissed off too, besides the fact that I'm asking for personal information and numbers it's also because if I go to school and am 45 minutes away she will have no one but my brother's to keep the house up to her perfectionist standards. It will also mean that she will lose the $100 a month that I pay her for rent and I won't be around to pay her bills when I go pay mine. The downside of having the same phone and car insurance companies, it has it's pros and cons. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom and brother's but it's time for this little birdy to fly the coop and that involves a little bit of cooperation and understanding from momma bird. I swear once I get accepted and all that fun collegiate stuff she won't have to push anymore, I'll be OUT like a light.
I'm so sick of sleeping on a couch and feeling tied to the house all the time. If anything in my mom's eyes she should be happy as hell for me for wanting to go back to school and putting effort into making it happen for myself, even if it's not for something that she wants me to be. But that's something she's going to have to deal with on her own. I've dealt with enough nurses and doctor's and the like in my life that I'd rather just go to them for their services, not actually be one. I want to pick up where I left off years ago and barrel ahead like I know I can. I'm having a hard time making her and myself proud by continuing the things that I'm doing now.
Okay, I'm done..thank you for letting me get that off my chest guys.
I'm having two guest post's this weekend and they should be up today or tomorrow, hopefully.
Have a good day all :)

A condescending wish list...for life
I wish my mom would show me the same kind of love and attention that she shows my brother's.
I wish she treated me like her daughter instead of her house mate/maid/nanny.
I wish that things in my life came a little bit easier for me.
I wish that I could be as outspoken/ballsy as ChelsTalksSmack and a bunch of other amazing women I follow/read/know.
I wish that I hadn't been kicked out of my friend's house due to her aunt and cousin moving in, though they have yet to move in.
I wish I had spent more time with my dad more before he passed.
As much as I have been through in my life and I am more than thankful for surviving it all, but sometimes a girl is allowed to have wishes even if they go unfulfilled.
It's been a long day, and I felt this had to get out of my head and off my chest.

Dinner, Dancing and Doritos
I have entirely too much time on my hands on my day/s off.
My earlier post was pretty much a sad product of extreme boredom and I thought the pictures were cute. So sue me. Tonight my mom had the idea for the whole family to cook dinner-with the exception of the six year old, because he's like six. On the menu is grilled chicken, broccoli and mash your own mashed potatoes. Yum right!?
Not only do we get to help make dinner we also are being forced to watch "Dancing With the Stars", my disdain for this show is one that rivals 'Jersey Shore'. Seriously, they're neck and neck for which one bothers me more...the only good thing DWTS has going for it is that the winner gives the prize money to a charity of their choice, so they win.
At least my day was slightly productive I went to the dentist and had the beginning of some work done. My dentist said that I had nice teeth, despite the two problem ones and that he wished me luck on getting into a college next semester, all before he questioned me about braces. I kindly said no, I've seen that episode of Sex and the City. Next week I get to have a double root canal,whoop-de-freaking-do!
I'm not even doing BEDA and I've posted just about every day so far this month,hehe.
Now that I've had dinner and it was delicious I wouldn't mind trying one of these.

My dentist said that I had nice teeth, despite the two problem ones and that he wished me luck on getting into a college next semester, all before he questioned me about braces. I kindly said no, I've seen that episode of Sex and the City. Next week I get to have a double root canal,whoop-de-freaking-do!
I'm not even doing BEDA and I've posted just about every day so far this month,hehe.
Now that I've had dinner and it was delicious I wouldn't mind trying one of these.
Have a good night everyone!

Daydreaming..
I want to go on a crazy whirl wind adventure, I want to eat fresh fruit and freshly baked flaky pastries with my fingers. I want to take in the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans and watch the flowers as they come to life, shedding the old and welcoming the new. Colors violet,reds and blues. Warming beams of sunlight kissing my nose and cheeks, leaving a dusting of freckles and a hint of pink to my ghostly skin.
Sitting next to you on this lovely cloudless day makes me wish that I could freeze it in time and never move from this place.

Embracing the different in life
The wild women of today's mainstream music are the bread to my butter, the jelly to my peanut butter, the star's in my sky some more so than others. Please don't think any less of me for this post.
Another wild woman of the mainstream that I can't help but like is of course Lady Gaga, catchy songs, crazy outfits, and fearlessly out there. Though wearing a meat dress is absolutely fucking bonkers and disgusting. But I think that if anything her star will burn the brightest. I mean with a name like Lady Gaga and naming your fans "Little Monsters", you probably aren't going any where for some time.
Then there's Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, I've never had a problem with Rihanna and I probably never will but she's probably going places too. Nicki Minaj on the other hand, she scares the shit out of me! I've dubbed her the "Black Lady Gaga"., not because I think she's going too far in the world of music and such but because of the way she acts, which is sometimes worse than Gaga. I'm not racist I swear but it's kinda the truth. Don'tcha think?
The modern day Madonna's-
Your guys' love is MY drug.
Which "crazy" artist's do you have a guilty pleasure for?

I don't want to grow up, I always want to be a Toys R Us kid!
I just scheduled my first dentist appointment for the first time in, sadly, a long time. This is not a good thing, especially for someone with a congenital heart condition. I've really been failing at this whole "grown up" thing lately I think. It's not like I mean to but it has been kind of hard to maintain much stability in my life. Try as I might nothing ever really seems to stick and it sucks because stability is something that I crave more than chocolate these days.
I had a first date last night with someone that had started calling me "his girlfriend" before we even went on the first date. Sorry but 6 to 8 months of talking does NOT make me your girlfriend dude. Why must my dating history repeat itself? Can a girl get a reset button or somethinggggggggggggggg? I may restart my dating sabbatical back up again because this shit is bananas.
I really hope that when I go back to school next fall that things come a little easier for me, I still like a challenge but I need more than tide pools of happiness, I want tsunami sized waves of happiness and joy from here on out! Even if I have to make them myself.
How are you doing at growing up?

I've fallen in love...
Toms Shoes!
But sadly I can not afford them yet, I have an infected tooth that needs to be taken care of ASAP and I need to pay off some old bills and get my car fixed up and get a new laptop before I go to school in the fall.
Once again, I'm late to the trend's party.
I could so rock these.
Things that I am grateful for..part 1
I'm kind of lacking on inspiration today, nay this whole week. But I will have something tomorrow night, hopefully, but until then I think I"m going to take a note from my friend punkrawkpurl and make a list of things that I am grateful for, because I'm thankful for a lot I just kind of fail at showing it sometimes. There for a blog is a great medium.
1. My mom's cheesy,parsley mashed potatoes
2.My health, and being a year and 3 months cancer free.
3. My blackberry.
4. The smell of fresh cut grass.
5. The warmth and feel of the sun on my face.
6.My best friend
7. Cadbury Eggs-especially the caramel kind.
8. Harry Potter
9. Chelsea Lately, Tina Fey and other lady's of comedy.
10. Vodka
11. Books! Oh how I love books.
12. Ritz Crackers and cream cheese- if you have never had this combo you should get on it.
13. Days off
14. Having 3 of the cutest little brothers that a girl could ask for ^^^
15. Post Secret
16. Adele
17. Jones Soda
18. An amazing mother
19. water balloon fights
20. Carnations. Screw roses the under rated road is the way to go.
21. That 70's Show
22. Foo Fighters
23. A ridiculously high tolerance for pain, which is actually not always a good thing.

Just another manic Mondayyyyyy
Today has been a whirl wind of perpetual motion, bills have been paid, latte's have been enjoyed and sleep has been more or less caught up on. So what if I went to bed at almost 4 am last night? I had a good reason to stay up so late Skyping and not sleeping.
My Monday went a little like this;
7:00am- my internal alarm clock woke me up to remind my mom to wake up my little brother since Monday's her day to do it.
7:05- get up and go lay down in one of my other brothers bed's.
9:45am- hit snooze on my actual alarm and sleep until 11.
11:00-11:15- lay in bed reading Twitter updates until I'm actually awake, get up and go take a quick shower.
11:45-1:30- browse the interwebs and wait for my hair to dry. Because I'm against using hair dryers and looking like Toad from Mario Brothers..that's another story for another time.
2:00pm- drive across town to pay my phone bill and my mom's and end up only paying my own because unbeknownst to my mom if it's your bill and you're not paying with cash you gotta pay it yourself! I also encountered a very confused lady that needed to pay her phone bill but was confused as to how the kiosk worked so I helped her figure it out, get it paid and even got two dollars of her change just for the hell of it.
3:00- slowly make my way to Target and do my routine walk through of the store after getting a chai tea, get the two essential things that I actually needed along with an impulse buy...or two.
3:45- Head back to my car and throw in one of my favorite movie soundtracks and proceed to fall into nostalgic bliss as I drove to Wally World. A place that I loathe with a deep fiery passion.
4:15- Start to shop for groceries for tonight's dinner, run into an old neighbor and get to talking about life and the future. I forgot the hot dogs! Guess my 6 year old brother will be enjoying beer brats with the rest of us.
5:00- made a mental note to NEVER live on the third floor of an apartment building, EVER!!
and now I'm here hashing out my day off for all of you lovely people.
What do you like to do on your day/s off?

What if?
What if I let myself actually be happy? What if I take him for what he is and am actually happy being wrapped in his arms? What if he turns out to just be like the rest? Is potentially having my heart broke AGAIN really worth it? What if he could be exactly what I need right now to help me pick up the pieces of my damaged self?
Why am I so scared to let him in and be the music to my lyrics??
Do the damaged ones survive the longest?
Sorry for being so vague, I may actually have some answers and clarification soon.

When the cat's away the mouse will play.
This weekend is going to be a great one, I can feel it already and it is a fabulous feeling! My mom is in Texas for the weekend with a friend and is going to see family and just enjoy being away for a little bit and my brother's are are their dads probably not having the greatest time but they have to go. While I am left with the house to myself, and let me tell you this weekend has been much needed!
Silence is golden.
Some more perks to my family being gone are that I have full reign of everything! The Xbox? Mine. A bed instead of a couch, and a whole weekend of peace and quiet. I almost don't mind that I have to work all weekend either. Other people in my situation would probably take advantage of this and invite all of their friend's over and trash the house and what not but I'm cleaning the house Sunday before work so that my mom and brother's can come home to a nice clean house, because I'm nice like that and stuff and my mom has done a lot for me and I greatly appreciate it so I'm going to stay on her good side.
This has been a rather boring post, if you made it this far then you must be pretty bored, and I'm sorry.
Have a great weekend!

Don't be a drag, just be a queen.
The other day I came to a realization,well not really a realization I suppose since I have already been feeling this way for quite some time. I am well aware that a good amount of my past few posts have been bitter/angry/whiny/etc., but I really am trying to be happier (I promise).
Now I think that I may even have a reason to be happier, other than picking up a possible 6th day at work, because I'm crazy! But I may have found some potential happiness and I'm scared out of my mind too. Though I suppose that the being scared part is a good thing, only time will tell. I guess it's not apparent enough that I have kind of come up with a decision to my little predicament. I know it's going to piss my mom off because I'm not yet quitting my job (because I haven't found a new one yet) and because I am committed to going back school next fall and won't be home to do some of the duties that she should be doing if her work allowed her more time to do. But the time has come for me to leave the nest AGAIN. I'm ready, but hopefully this summer at work will be enough for me to get by until it's time for school to start because I'm nervous yet really excited for it too.
The future looks bright!
Thank you Victoria for posting this, it helped me actually find the words that I was searching for yesterday. <3
