O...Saya

I'm alive! Thank you Jesus! I may have to change my identity and move, but I am alive! Okay, let me explain...

I was boarding a dog this weekend and there also happened to be 3 cats. I hate cats. I think they're evil and their whole species should be abolished. Needless to say the cats had very mutual feelings about me. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that they were trying to kill me. I woke up at three in the morning and one of them was lying flat on my leg. The little shithead wouldn't move for nothing! Then when I woke up again to go walk the dog all three of them were surrounding me! Oh my heart!

The next night I woke up to one of them sitting on the pillow next to me just staring at me. I was like oh hell no! NO MA'AM! So, I moved over to the living room and all three of them followed me! NO! LEAVE ME ALONE! I'm sorry, but I locked their asses in the bedroom. No way am I going to allow them to steal my soul while I sleep.

Then this morning one of them hisses at me when I'm trying to feed it. And I was all like "bitch do you wanna eat?! Yeah that's what I thought!" That's also when I realized I was arguing with a cat. ::Sigh::

Something is mentally wrong with people who own cats. And it's not just that they choose this devil reincarnation as a pet, but they always have like 500 of them! Urgh.

So, not only was I trying to stay alive this weekend, but I was also severely bored. Whenever I board at someone's house that's usually the only time I watch TV. ID Discovery is my new favorite channel. I also read two of their books, that I wouldn't really buy. sTori Telling by Tori Spelling and Loose Girl by Kerry Cohen. I actually enjoyed Tori Spelling's book more. I thought it was funny and her Mother just infuriated me. Loose Girl highly annoyed me.

I also finally saw Slumdog Millionaire. Omgosh go see it now! SO GOOD!

Peace Out,

P.S. Why the heck is my right eye soooo itchy?!

Bad Habit

When I was younger I spent a lot of time and money trying to be like other people. I didn't think that being different from other kids was a positive and I was always trying to fit the mold. I lied about everything from where I lived to what race I was. I did whatever I could do to fit the mold.

I also put a lot of value into materialistic things. I whined and complained for months about getting a Sidekick 2. I even blogged about how much I wanted one and couldn't understand why I didn't. But here's the thing; I didn't even know what a Sidekick was! I just knew I wanted one, because everyone else had one! When I look back on things like that I am so ashamed of my behaviour.

It's kind of amazing that I didn't get into some other stuff to try and fit in. While I wanted to fit in with the kids at school, I never actually wanted to hang out with them. Doesn't make much sense does it?

Today I am a very different person. I am very comfortable in my own skin and with myself. As I've gotten older I learned to realize that I am a pretty cool person and I think it's okay for me to say that. I'm not perfect, but I accept my flaws, or try to find ways to improve them. I am perfectly content with not being the "norm". In fact I'd rather not be.

You live and you learn. It's called growing up. My mindset is different from even a few months ago. Okay, I know this is going to sound super silly and frivolous, but I learned a lot from Twilight. Not from the actually books, because vampires don't exist (or do they?). But when I first heard of Twilight it sounded so stupid to me and the more people would try to explain it to me the more shit I talked about it. Finally out of boredom I bought the damn book and now I'm addicted to the whole saga. Anyway, what I'm saying is I will no longer discriminate against books, movies, or music. I've always been open minded about things, but no longer will I knock it before I try it!

Peace & Love,
Ashley Venus

Daydreamer

Today was just one of those days where I woke up with renewed energy. I had my windows wide open, because it was way too hot in my room last night, so this morning the sun was shining so perfectly on me and woke me up. The weather kind of just set the mood for the rest of the day. Very relaxed and beautiful.

I really have nothing to blog about, but just feel like it. I started a new book yesterday. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. So far so good. I tried reading The Debutante Divorcee, but could not get into it. I'll save it for the beach this summer. Mmm what else? I bought Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist on DVD and LOVED IT! I should also mention that I love any movie made in New York, but this really was a good movie! Michael Cera is brilliant. I want to marry him.

Peace and love,

Ashley Venus

Why?!?!

I seriously have hot tears streaming down my cheeks right now. All my songs deleted off of my iPod! I wanted to lay down and listen to some music, so I ejected my iPod from iTunes the way you're supposed to, and there is no music! And my iTunes itself only has 61 songs on it, because I just recently had to restore my computer. Argh! Does anybody wanna buy me an iTunes gift card for $2,000 so I can get all my music back?!

I can't even describe how upset I am right now. Anybody who knows me knows I can't do anything without music. I can't even get dressed in the morning without listening to music to put me in a good mood. It really does suck when your life becomes so dependent on technology. Phsst my kids are being raised Amish!

Now, I have to buy a new iPod, because this isn't the first time it does something like this.

I'm Not Random. I Just Have Many Thoughts.

Ooh look at me keeping my word and updating way more frequently. Likey the new layout? It totally rocks my socks and I think it's way more reflective of my personality. Argh, I wish my dog would stop barking at me. She's a freakin' dictator. She's like Fidel Castro, but packaged as an 8 pound Miniature Pinscher.

I started Pilates today! It's not my favorite workout, but I bought a really cute Yoga mat to keep me motivated. I was in my living room, but it was like one of those Mommy & Me pilates classes, because my dog was ALL over me!

Told you it was cute. I have an obsession with all things cute and girly. Which is also why I bought socks that don't match! Haha I love that store. Matching your socks is so last year. Ha, I actually bought two pairs of the same socks, because I do actually want to match them occasionally. ;-)

I need a book! I just finished Night by Elie Wiesel. I was crying on the train and people were looking at me like I just escaped from an asylum or something. Geez, it was sad! I actually have a whole bunch of books that have yet to be read, but they don't fit in my work bag. I think I need to read a book that deals with a much lighter subject. I think I'll start The Debutante Divorcee tonight. I absolutely loved Bergdorf Blondes, so I hope I'll love this one too.

Speaking of books, I forced my Mom to read Twilight! Now she's on to New Moon. Muwahahaha! Slowly corrupting the world one Twilight book at a time!

My Life Would Suck Without You

Yooooooooo!

Haha nothing special happened this weekend. Just went to Jersey to visit some family and see my new God Daughter. She's so tiny with such a little head! And my Aiden is the most precious thing ever! Gosh, I love that kid so much. Even though he snitched on me that I took his ball! Haha they were trying to teach him how to whisper and I'm just like he's fully Puerto Rican that's scientifically impossible!

Hmmm, what else? Oh yeah! I got a new Bible and I'm now obsessed with Ryan Seacrest! I downloaded Ryan Seacrest's podcast and I've been listening to him all weekend. He loves himself some Miley! He better what himself! And my Bible is brown, pink, and green! Very cute!

Oh yeah, I also watched Saw 5 on BlueRay. How many more of these movies are they planning on making?! Haha but I still liked it.
