Tacos would set this country straight

2009-03-04T07:16:52-06:00

More tacos. Mmmm. I love tacos.

I wish I could get a new location, location, location

2009-03-03T19:23:12-06:00

I wouldn't live in my dad's house. I want to be on my own again. I also am a bit tired of NY. I love it here, but want a change of scenery.

My handiness...is lackinggg.

2009-03-03T19:22:32-06:00

I made a duct tape wallet once.

I'm turning into my parents

2009-02-24T19:07:54-06:00

My sarcastic wit and gigantic boobs from daddy's side. Nothing from my mother, thankfully.

My scar on the knee, but really on my heart

2009-02-23T20:31:55-06:00

I've got one on my knee. I was probably about 8 or so. I was jump roping in my driveway. My neighbor came down the block on his bike, and went to turn around in the driveway. His bike caught my jump rope and I fell to the ground. I had a huge cut almost the size of my knee. It sucked. My dad cleaned me up and I was sitting on the floor in the living room, sniffling. My mom came home from work and gave me the latest issue of dinosaur magazine. While browsing it, I was still all sniffly and sad. She yelled at me and told me to suck it up. Until about two years ago when she asked me "Is there anything you've never forgiven me for?", I held it against her hardcore.

Chocolate always soothes me when I'm stressed

2009-02-21T15:39:32-06:00

Chocolate. A good ol' Hershey bar gets purchased almost daily for me at work when I just can't take it anymore.

Tea Lounge is great for drinks with an old friend

2009-02-21T15:38:48-06:00

It's a silly little hipster tea place that plays amazing music. It's one of my favorite places to go to write and think. Too bad they closed one of them, but at least there's 2 more.

Far too much stuff travels with me...

2009-02-21T15:37:32-06:00

About 30 dollars worth of change
I'm lazy and never clean out my bag. The funny thing is, I almost never carry cash, so I'm not sure how all this change gets there.

2 Notebooks
One is small, for thoughts, ideas, lists. One is large for actually writing things.

Nintendo DS and games
I don't go anywhere without it. The Guitar Hero add on is also in there.

USB Drive
You never know when you will need one.

Wallet
Contains more business cards, expired credit cards, and other useless crap than it does money.

Hair Clip
For those really stressful days. But I just cut my hair really short yesterday, so I'll no longer be needing that.

Book I'm Currently Reading
Or not reading. Depends. But I always have one with me just in case. I go through phases with reading.

iPod
Because if I had to listen to other people's conversations on the train, I'd kill myself.

Colorful Pens
For writing and doodling.

Deodorant
Everyone needs to refresh sometimes.

Sharpie
I don't usually carry them, though I do use them constantly. I just haven't taken this one out of my bag from ComicCon when I was getting shit signed.

Swords should make a comeback

2009-02-21T15:28:28-06:00

Swords!!! Once I saw swords on the list I lost my train of thought as to what I was going to suggest. I just want to slay dragons and chop people in half with my mighty sword!

Reading 'Running With Scissors' opened my eyes

2009-02-16T23:13:29-06:00

A day without a cell phone

2009-02-15T12:38:08-06:00

I've gone more than a day without my phone. It's not really awful, it's just awkward. I don't really use my phone all that much, but I feel incomplete when I don't have it on me.

My trip from Levittown, NY to Orlando, FL

2009-02-15T12:37:10-06:00

Wii Fit keeps me in shape

2009-02-15T12:35:02-06:00

I'm not an excercizer at all, never really have been. But I do enjoy hula-hooping on my Wii Fit. I'm the hula champ, my record is 299 spins. I intend to break that record as well.

Watch "Happy Endings" next time you're home sick

2009-02-11T21:30:42-06:00

When I started using the Internet

2009-02-11T21:23:42-06:00

I believe I was 11 years old when my parents got us AOL, (god, its utterly embarrassing that AOL is where I got my internet start.) and I haven't left the computer screen (but have picked up much better browsing and chatting software) since.

Hint: A trip to The Moon would be nice this Valentine's Day

2009-02-11T21:22:05-06:00

The Moon
Because there's nothing more romantic than defying gravity together.

My nickname, dorkabella

2009-02-11T21:20:41-06:00

dorkabella

Dorkabella, meaning "beautiful dork", was given to me by an internet friend something like 6 years ago. He felt that it described me quite accurately, and I happen to agree. It stuck, and it's become my permanent internet identity.

My fear of being alone

2009-02-11T21:19:08-06:00

Despite how much I need "me" time and am a pretty independent person, I cannot function without knowing that there is someone in my life that loves me.

If you pay me enough, I'll sing these songs at a karaoke bar

2009-02-02T21:35:03-06:00

Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf

Don't Stop Believin by Journey

Piano Man by Billy Joel

Glad I kept the receipt

2009-02-01T09:15:26-06:00

My most recent ex, a guy that I have known for 10 years, dated in the past, and was currently dating for 6 months got me a video camera for Christmas this year. Not even one of those really cool ones that record onto DVDs, no, just a regular old video camera.

If you know me AT ALL, you would know that I love giving more than receiving, and would never judge a gift, and am appreciative of anything that is given to me. However, when your gift proves that you clearly do not know a thing about me, I begin to wonder. It was a clear sign to me that he didn't know me, and I began to wonder if we were compatible. I decided that I was being silly, and just got over it, because I was happy with him, and I didn't want to be thinking so negatively over a gift.

10 days later, he broke up with me. He said that he had been feeling that we were incompatible, and that I'd better find someone else to take to Disney World (what I got HIM for Christmas). Guess I was right afterall. :P

If I had easy access to a helicopter, I'd fly to Los Angeles this weekend

2009-01-31T09:58:41-06:00

I've been promising my friend Zac that I'd go visit him in Cali for about 13 years.

Why I gave up on

2009-01-31T09:55:51-06:00

The whole concept to me was extremely interesting, but I just really couldn't get into the book at all. I'm sure if I forced myself to read it, I'd truly enjoy it, but that's probably not going to happen.

How I'd spend $1,000

2009-01-29T22:07:36-06:00

Remember when you were younger and $1,000 bucks seemed like SO MUCH MONEY? Like it would be almost impossible to ever spend THAT MUCH?

Now it's like a joke. But I'd probably use it to pay bills. Yeah, I went there. Gotta get outta debt somehow.

Or maybe I'd spend it on Woot shirts. I buy quite alot of those.

If I were a superhero, I would certainly not wear tights

2009-01-29T22:05:28-06:00

My name would be Awesome Girl and I would throw sparkly cupcakes at people.

My ideal Super Bowl halftime show would include No One

2009-01-29T22:04:22-06:00

No One
I don't like football.

Why my hip-hop posse would include James Roday

2009-01-25T19:53:24-06:00

James Roday
He's hot, he's witty, and he's "psychic".

When I get home, I put on pajamas

2009-01-25T19:51:37-06:00

When I'm leaving the house, I wear regular clothes. When I'm not leaving the house or I will be in the house for awhile, I always wear pjs. They're just way more comfortable.

My first job: Supermarket Fun!

2009-01-25T19:50:04-06:00

My first job was at Scaturro Supermarket. I was 17. I don't remember what I made, but it was probably something like 6 bucks an hour. I continued working in different supermarkets until I was 22, when I got my current job at a children's website.

I had a few other random jobs, like CVS and Party City, but I wasn't there very long. I stayed at all my supermarket jobs between 6 months-almost 2 years.

I've worked as a cashier, a stock person, and a bookkeeper, and they were all hell. Want to get verbally abused on a daily basis? Work in a supermarket.

In defense of my vice: The Internet

2009-01-25T19:46:10-06:00

It's by far the best and worst thing that's ever happened to me.
I've made some awesome friends, gone on some crazy dates, spent countless hours blogging, Tweeting, and chatting, and now I work for a website.
I'm pretty sure I'll never quit it, even though it definitely is a time sucker.

When I realized I was a grown-up

2009-01-25T19:40:09-06:00

I don't think I've really realized it yet. :P
