to my jennie

in a world so large, it's hard to find good people with good hearts. However, I have been blessed with a handful of wonderful friends. My family life is so crazy that God has apologized by providing my the best girlfriends a girl could possibly have. Recently, I met a chick that is so like me it's crazy. Today, as I was trying to get motivated to write Clermont Lounge headlines I came across a quote that I am so sure was written just for jennie and I.

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one." ~ C.S. Lewis.

Thank you for all your help jenny! You're awesome and i have no idea what I would have done without you this quarter. love you so much!

Loves,

Introducing my favorite Rock Star

I WANNA BE A RROCKSTAR

Save a Honda, Ride a dyslexic

As a child, I was showered with insecurities. When I wasn't worried about my weight, I would be crying about my skin and my hair. I always had to date the good looking guy, hang out with the good looking crowd, wear the best designer clothes. In other words, I was a pretentious bitch. As my days at the Circus unravel, I realize how much of my old skin I have shed. I have traded in the beautiful men for the tattooed, the hot, flighty girls for the super cute, bright, career-oriented ones, and Chanel for the forever 21. As I sit in Caribou Coffee, drinking on my overpriced iced coffee and listening enviously to a woman with a strong Brooklyn accent rave about her hometown, I realize how fortunate my life is. Now if only I could get motivated to write lines for Cambodia.

Channeling my carrie side

"There are so many roads. So many detours. So many choices in life."
Tonight, after having the best evening ever, I realize I don’t want to settle for anything less than butterflies. I am so thankful for the new opportunities God has blessed me with. As a couple of big doors are shutting, new artistic ones are opening. I don’t quite know what it all means or what path I am heading down as of yet. I just know that this evening I am happy.

Carrie is right. Mistakes do make our fate. They lead us into wonderful new worlds. Had I never had a drinking problem, I would have never met my Mr. Big. Had I gone to Circus originally, who knows if I would have the same, best friends as I have today. A woman far wiser than me once said, “as we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, buckle up and just keep going.” Tonight, I am very much enjoying where the ride has taken me. So excited to see what will unfold next.
