Romance.

Personally, I feel like romance is a big, big, BBIIIGGGG part of a relationship, even if that relationship has lasted decades and I don’t mean that the relationship has to be ALL ABOUT romance… the little stuff is just as important as the big stuff… I’m saying that it is really, really nice to feel special and feel completely in love and have all of that mushy gooey crap even if its just for a minute; its nice to be reminded of the feelings you felt the very first time you kissed your special someone or the excitement of your first date or the moment you knew you were completely head over heels in love… Sometimes that is all someone really needs to make them feel better about anything.

And So It Begins..

Today is the day I leave for Missouri! it a 6 hour drive from my school but its worth it ❤ However, I’m not all that excited about driving all night…. no fun v_v…..

Long Distance Love

I think that long distance relationships and beautiful and very hard and occasionally very, very worth it. For seven years I’ve been off and on with this boy who has been there with me through just about EVERYTHING. I can honestly say that he’s my best friend and I really do need him in my life… but he lives in Massachusetts and that’s really hard because I live in Texas.

Sooo that’s why my last post is such a big deal, Saturday (1/11/14) will be the first time that Jon and I will ever meet in person and I’m both stoked and nervous at the same time. Its kinda hard to explain everything and I love telling the story to those who ask but life’s supposed to be an adventure so I’m going to make the best of mine. ❤

My Strange Hiatus? and BBBIIGGG UPDATE!!

WHOA! I haven’t blogged in so long! Anyways, BBIIGGG UPDATE!!!

I’m moving to Missouri!!! My boyfriend and I are moving into my father and step-mother’s house together so obviously things are pretty hectic! Between studying for finals and this moving arrangement, I haven’t really been able to get on here in a while (my hiatus excuse.. I think?) I plan to blog more as my movement comes to an end (just 3 more days!!) so expect to see more of me!!

 

I don’t even know anymore

Being “Sophisticatedly Different”

If you have seen my posts, you’ve somewhere seen “sophisticatedlydifferentharlee“.

Being “sophisticatedly different” pretty much means just being weird; not creepy weird but in a personality kind of way. One of my friends, every time I would say something different or funny or anything to her, she would say, “weirdo” and I would reply with, “I’m not weird, I’m sophisticatedly different.” and thus began everything.

So be proud to be “sophisticatedly different” and happy with who you are whether it be silly, funny, stupid, or even weird. ;]

Just a thought.

Your opinions on facebook and you.

Okay.. so…. I feel like if you post something “controversial” publicly on your Facebook page, you should expect to see other people’s opinions on it too. If you post something about how religion is trash, things that you think about politics or even things as simple as a personal opinion of yours, you shouldn’t be offended if someone with opposing views from yours steps up and says something. That doesn’t mean you should be rude or trash talk something just to talk, it means that should your opinion oppose (or support) such ideas, you need to have a valid point with valid proof. Don’t be the person that says “[Insert your argument here] is right/wrong/this way/that way because I think it is and there for it is true.” You look uninformed and, when someone calls you out on the matter and you get offended, insecure.

and remember… some people troll… learn the difference between a playful argument and a serious one.

American Horror Story and Bridegroom

Today in itself was a glorious but long day. There were conferences for my classes, I got my blood work back and I got to watch a beautiful and sad movie called “Bridegroom”.

Bridegroom is a documentary about a couple named Shane and Tom who were completely and madly in love. They wanted a home together, to be married, to have a family, to have their eternal. On Shane’s side, his family embraced and loved Tom, but on Tom’s side, they shunned and hated the idea of him being gay and blamed Shane for all of it. Gradually as Shane and Tom’s relationship lasted though, Tom’s mother began coming around and getting used to everything and the idea of loving Shane as well. Not long after everything had been turning up, on May 7, 2011, Tom accidently falls four stories and hits the concrete pavement below when goofing off with one of his friends. It was absolutely heartbreaking to see everyone around Shane and Tom be effected by his death and more so to watch as Tom’s family completely rejects Shane and doesn’t allow him to attend the funeral. This movie truly was one of the most amazing ones that I have seen about a gay couple.

Once the movie was finished, it was ALL me and Tori could talk about for a good 30 minutes. We discussed our favorite and least favorite parts while hurrying home to make it back before 9 pm so we could watch American Horror Story: Coven.

All-in-all, everything today was great. The results for my test came back as I thought they would, I got to spend an evening with my AMAZING Pride family, and I got to watch my favorite T.V. show with my best friend. A great ending to a great day.

 

After a long day of school

 

Rainy Days and Personality Tests

Today was just like yesterday- soaking wet. I decided OF ALL DAYS to have a personal pajama day, partly because and laziness and partly because I only had one class today.

Today, as part of a class assignment, I got the opportunity to take a personality test and find out how I would be scored on a psychological level. It was very enlightening and I loved all of the possible outcomes (16 of them). Personally, I scored ESFP (the Performer) which says:

“People-oriented and fun-loving, they make things more fun for others by their enjoyment.  Living for the moment, they love new experiences. They dislike theory and impersonal analysis.  Interested in serving others. Likely to be the center of attention in social situations.  Well-developed common sense and practical ability.”

I’d like to think that it’s all right but of course there parts of it that I feel fit better than others ;D

All-in-all today was pretty good. I get my blood tests back tomorrow morning so I’m pretty excited!!! 😀

Pajama Pants and Little Band-aids

Personally I’m very, very afraid of doctor’s offices. They are so… white and dull and full of things like tongue pressers and rubber gloves *shivers* ugh… This isn’t a hatred or anything towards the profession, I have a lot of respect towards it, I just hate the idea that I can go in perfectly fine and come out not-so-fine…

And needles.

Today I had to get blood drawn and tested to test certain levels in my body to make sure the are all what they should be- I had gone in because my back was sore.

Needless (haha… looks like needles) to say, I cried like a little hysterical baby. Every time they tried to get near me with the needle I would retch away and yell at them not to stick me. It eventually escalated to me begging them not to stick me which is sad because I’m a grown ass woman. It was only after I had Tori run a mile to the clinic and hold my hand that I even let them put the needle in and even then I only sat there for 3 minutes.

I’m not ashamed though. I faced a big fear of mine and while I’m still afraid of needles, I got through it!

After our prickly adventure, Tori and I went back to our dorm and decided that the rest of that day would be filled with anime, scary movies and played out in the comfort of our pajamas! A well earned trophy for the both of us 😀

Tori and My pajamas!

My Heart is Full of Colors (LGBTQ*)

Recently I’ve decided that I would let my freak flag fly, I mean… why not?

LGBT love

LGBTQ* is short for LGBTQQIAAP (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersexual, ally, asexual and pansexual) and is a community that is full of people who all share the common goal of human equality. You don’t need to be gay or anything like a lot of people think to be a part of it, allies are a HUGE part of the support system.

A while back I learned that my campus provides an organization that suits the needs of the LGBTQ* on campus (basically the campus GSA) and I immediately jumped in.

BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE!

While in my alliance, I have made life long friends, memories and unknowingly joined an amazing and ever growing family full of people who I can say will stand with me in any situation.  It’s helped my confidence grow SOOOOO MUCH and has helped me grow in ways I could never on my own; I met my best friend, my supervisor, my mother duck and some cute cats along the way ;D
