Gah!

Almost every movie I've watched and book (or at least part of books, since I don't have time to finish all I start) I've read seems to have parts that reflect my life right now..

it sucks!

I'm trying not to think about that part of my life, but it keeps getting thrown in my face..

*Sigh*

And then there's the whole "lose everything to gain everything" coming back into play..I still don't think I'm strong enough, but I'm so tired of being weak..

OMG!! The movie is getting worse and more like my situation..grr..

The Vivid Dreams Continue

So yeah..

Two days ago, I had a "mean" dream where I did something I wouldn't do..

My class went to some restaurant to eat and learn at the same time or something..

This one guy I like sat at a table (all of them were square) on the far end of the room, facing the front..

His girlfriend that I've met a few times was at the table in front of him, with her back to him..

There was an empty seat between them, so I rushed over and took that seat..

THAT WAS SO MEAN!!!!!!!!

I interpreted it as getting between them or after last night's dream, behind her back..

I wouldn't do that! It was so mean...but way was she facing away in the first place?


Ok, and my dream last night:

I was exploring this old building through a maze of rooms, each with old doors with old wallpaper or peeling paint..

One room had a bunch of old dresses on movable racks and another room had tons of shoes on shelves..

These clothes were costumes for some play or something..

the last room I went to had similar furniture as my bedroom does..

Then it merged into something with looking for a video I've made on Google Video..

Then to a dream where I was with the guy in my previous night's dream and we were studying for class (im my dream I remember doing this with him a lot)..

We weren't doing anything but studying, yet at the end of each time we were together, it felt like he was doing something behind his girlfriend's back..as if just spending time with me was in a way, cheating on her..

Weird weird weird..

I wonder what will happen in my dreams tonight..

Or if I'll have any dreams since I'm trying out this air mattress thing my mom bought..

My "Type" and The Weird Creepy Dream I Forgot to Write Down

My "Type"

oh, boy..my friend the other day was trying to set me up with someone and asked me what my "type" was/what I look for in a guy..

lol..it dawned on me months ago that it has changed so much from when I was younger!

I used to like tall, skinny intellectual introverted Aquarians..now I like extroverted, dancer-bodied, compassionate fire signs..

It's weird, but here's my "in depth" analysis of what I look for in a guy:

Friendship
I don't care what Matt's astrology book said (it listed what signs I would be best as friends with, which signs are best for relationships, and what signs are best for marriage), I believe a relationship/marriage would not work as well if I wasn't friends with the guy first..I make friends easy, so I'm not saying I wouldn't go out on a date soon after I met a guy, I'm just saying I would never date anyone online or go on a blind date..plus, I feel romantic relationships are pretty much just way deeper friendships than say I would have with my best female friend..

Extroverted
At least a lot of the time..

Deep down, I'm really shy and introverted (this really shown in my middle school years) and those are the traits I hate in myself..

So what do I do? I've always surrounded myself with extroverts! My best friends throughout the years have mostly been fire signs who would drag me to new places and forced me into new situations..they got me to "come out of my shell" so-to-speak and I had the most fun and enjoyed life that way..I wouldn't be as happy with my life or where I am in my life without my extroverted friends..without them, I'd have poorer health, sheltered away, doing crap I hate for a living..heck, I might have killed myself by now because it was those friends who got me to feel better when I was down and got me to focus and the good parts of life..

So I automatically am attracted to extroverted guys because I like being around them and as I said in the first section, they would probably make good friends first..

I would prefer to be in a reationship with a guy who is outgoing and adverturous..even in small ways..like, I would love to be with someone who said, "Hey, [insert thing here] is going on this weekend/tonight, wanna go?" or "Hey, I [or you or we] have never done this before, let's go try it out!" even if it ranged from trying a new recipe, to a new event in town, to camping, traveling, or sky diving, I would like to be with a guy that is the type that enjoys many aspects of life and likes to share them with others..

And of course there's always down time, it doesn't have to be new all the time because then trying new things wouldn't be so new..so it would have to be balanced between everyday routines and time to relax together as well..

WHAT I DON'T WANT is someone who is so introverted that when I'm like, "Hey, [insert thing here] is going on this weekend/tonight, wanna go?" or "Hey, I [or you or we] have never done this before, let's go try it out!" that almost each time they are like, "Nah, that's ok." or "I don't know if I really want to..I've never done ____ before" or just never wanting to do something new or different..

of course, with my personality, I would just go do whatever on my own..and then feel bad about not being with him and feeling bad/mad at being somewhere alone tht would have been better shared with someone else..being with a guy like that would drag me down, back to being quiet and shy..back to hating myself..I never want to be with a guy that makes me feel bad without doing anything..(it's ok if they do something to piss me off, but not ok if I just felt bad for no reason)..

Compassionate Fire Signs/Duality Trait
Although, not always fire signs, they just usually are because of the extroversion trait..

If a guy ever wants me to be attracted to him, the biggest thing they need to do is amaze/impress me..I'm easily impressed, so it's not that hard..

One of the biggest things that amazes me in the last few guys I've had crushes on is their ability to be wild, crazy, extroverted, and adventurous..even sometimes to the point of almost getting in trouble with something, yet at the same time, they can be calm, relaxed, mature, laidback, loyal, very kind, and deep thinkers..

It's the way they can balance both extremes of their personality in such a productive and attractive way that impresses me..

I don't ever get bored of people, but people like this are always so interesting :o)

Comfortable
HUGE ONE!!! Especially since I have this weird sensitive thing..

Everyone feels a certain way to me on a range of "comfortable-ness"..mostly family members and certain females I've met usually fall in the "not-that-comfortable" range..my friends (female) fall into the "ok" range..and most guys feel "comfortable enough" (there are a few exceptions that I fall in the "not-that-comfortable" range, tho)..and then there are the guys I've had the biggest crushes on, that fall in the "OMFG! I-want-to-be-around-them-all-the-time" range..

Whoever I end up marrying someday MUST fall in the "OMFG" range..there is no way I could handle being with someone that much and not feel comfortable with them..

And when I say I feel a certain way, I mostly mean being within about 3 feet or so of the person and the feeling gets stronger as I get closer..The nice thing about the "OMFG" feeling is that I get conditioned to feel that way around the guy everytime I see them..

My problem is that it's WAY too easy to get very attached emotionally to an "OMFG" guy..when I don't have someone that feels that way to me in my life, I get depressed more often because being around the "OMFG" energy these guys give off is so COMFORTING..

And it's so rare to find these guys..I'm happy to say that currently, I know a few and talk to them regularly..

but, dude, in the past, this feeling is SO powerful that when we would touch even if it was something as simple as accidently brushing up against each other or something..my mind was like once, "OMFG! HE TOUCHED MY ARM!!! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!! AAAAAAAH!" ..it was weird..basicially what I meant was that it felt SO great..his energy was like, so wonderful, I wanted to be wrapped up in it..

But, yeah, I've never dated an "OMFG" guy..I'd hope that if I ever had, I'd be in a serious relationship with him right now or married..

This trait HAS to be the biggest trait I look for..I wanna feel good around who I'm with..it has nothing to do with personality or smarts..(although it might be delusion) I feel that this trait is actually their aura and/or their soul..

Also, this is the one trait that I almost notice instantly..I have to say almost because not everyone seems to emit their energy brightly all of the time and one of the guys I currently know didn't have that strong of an energy when I met first met..I felt there was a nice feeling around them, but it was over time that they started to "glow" so-to-speak and now glow so brightly that I can see it effect almost everyone he's around..

Successful/Determination
Success comes in many forms..from getting in shape to succeeding in life, school, or work..I'm basically attracted to guys who work hard for want they want and try their best to finish what they start (but if they are anything like me, will only finish 75% of the time (a third of which is finished well, but late))..

Family Oriented
I'm attracted to guys who care about their family and also guys who want kids someday and will be great fathers (e.g. spend time with their kids)..

Secondary traits:

Can friggin' cook, etc!
OMG, it impresses me so much when I hear that so many of my guy friends can follow a recipes, do their own laundry, wash dishes, get groceries, take care of children, and clean house!

I grew up thinking that once I'm living with a guy or married, I will have to cook a big meal almost every night, wash the dishes, make sure the house is spotless, do all the laundry, take care of the kids, and maybe even take out the trash..

Hey, I'm still willing to do so because it's ingrained into me..

BUT, I'm also the type to try to juggle all of that, PLUS have a decent paying fulltime job that I enjoy and look forward to (that's why I'm going into Journalism / teaching (maybe) now..)..I want it to pay well in case something happens to my future husband and he can't work for a while..

so basically, I have the "housewife" and "provider" mentality both..

Problem is, I currently don't cook (another reason why I want to move out..so I have everything where I can reach it and I can experiment)..I try to clean, but the way I do it is kinda OCD like and it makes my parents crazy and they tell me to stop..and trash at our house is too heavy (won't be when I move out)..even laundry is downstairs..I can't wait until I have a place either with a washer and dryer or can take my clothes to a laudromat..

I think that's why I want to move out and not in with a roommate..I want to force myself to depend only on myself if possible so that I can provide for a family later..

The nice thing is that the guys in my generation actually help around the house! so hopefully when I'm married and have 3 kids (who have soccer practice, dance recitals, karate, etc.), me and my future husband can balance out the chores and responsibilities..

Physical Traits
Between 5'6'' and 5'10'' (majority of the guys I'm attracted to are 5'8'' for some reason..maybe it's because I'm a short 5'3'')..with singer eyes, dancer bodies, doctor hands, live-saver jaw, and wrestler arms..Click here for the description at the bottom of the page..the guy needs to look like he can save me from a fire, so no tall/skinny guys..I like average/some weight on a guy and just plain look strong and healthy (even if overweight)..I don't like guys who either look too thin or too fat that they look like they are either starving to death or are going to keel over with a heart attack..

Good Speaking Voice, but can also understand me
I suck at talking..but I love it when guys have great speaking voices (even better when they can sing good ;o) )..I don't like slurrers..

I talk fast and slur myself sometimes..and I'm attracted to guys who can understand my meaning even if they can't understand my speech..

-------------------------------------------------


Of course the "Tim" (fake name) guy I keep dreaming about fits all of these traits..too bad he's dating some other girl XoP

Neat thing is there is this one dude I'm friends with that at first, he seemed cool and nice, but he seemed too introverted..over time, he's come out of his shell and now is somewhat outgoing..Now he seems really cool lol


The Weird Creepy Dream I Forgot to Write Down

Ok, I usually dream about things that I do or people I'm around in waking life, but this one was scary!!!!!!

So I'm in Barnes and Noble somewhere in the OSU campus area (never been to that exact one in waking life, but will when I start attending OSU)..

I was on the second/third level (it was up high) and Matt, Huong, Amy D, Jennifer, Sam, and Dave where there..most of them where down in the cafe area and I was talking to Matt up above for a couple of minutes..

He was wearing this god-awful hawaiian redish and black button-up shirt..it looked bad I think because it was 1-2 sizes too big for him..he had lost a lot of weight over the last year..

He went down to talk to the others and I was searching on google video and crap on my laptop..

Dave was like, handing me papers and said, "You have to see this one!" meaning funny videos..

I guess there was an ad campain or commercial that spoke in short fragmented sentences and had large block letters spell out the words on the screen, getting smaller as it went down..at the end, it would say, "The end."

There were many parodies of it online..some made fun of the length and some of the poor grammer.

The paper I looked at had a really short parody of it that said something at the end like, "So ends the war. The end."

Dave had to take a call (on his yellow phone)..

I got a phone call (still my ROKR phone) and it was from "Home"..

I answered it and my mom was like, "Yeah, one of your clients returned a photo."

i'm like, "ok..."

She answered, "He actually came inside with it.."

I'm starting to freak out because this guy was supposed to be from New York or something and wasn't supposed to show up at my parent's house..

For some reason, I said, "Is he black?" in a way like I had been trying to figure it out all this time..

Then I was like, "Just tell him I'll send him a check for $300 and don't worry about it.."

She goes, "He said there was something wrong with the matting..here, let him tell you what he wants.."

Then a voice (of a person who almost was a client and looked like a creepy guy from a horror movie) said, "I'm going to kill you." in a matter-of-fact tone..

I pictured my mom talking on the phone that whole time with a gun to her head and the guy getting impatient..

I was freaking out!

And then my mom said, "Oh, now you'll have to drive around all day with this on your conscious.."

end of dream..

the "I'm going to kill you" was from a show my mom was watching at the time and we do have a harrasser who keeps calling my mom..so it's a little creepy..

There is an almost-client I have to return items to that sounds like the client in my dream..

ALSO, I have never seen Matt wear a shirt like that, yet he claims he has one like it!

Once I move out, I might have to rely on the wifi networks (I think Barnes and Noble has one)..

Kinda creepy that this crap could happen!!!

"Tim" Dream, Another Dream, and Weight Loss

"Tim" Dream

I've been having them off and on, but this one has to be the most vivid one in a while..

I remember it was a rainy spring day (not really spring, more like mid-March) 2007..I went into some buildings up some ramps, but was on campus..

On the far side of the Nestor Hall East Lounge (the Noisy Lobby), by the Phi Theta Kappa office, I was standing there with "Tim" (fake name) going through his collection of iron art where iron rods were shaped into Irish and St. Patrick's Day images (because this was either near or on St. Patrick's Day 2007) and he was looking through some other book..

The lounge was empty since it was a Saturday after Spring Graduation (I was there because I had a project to work on, I'm not sure why "Tim" was there, though)..

Most of the art was just art, but my current co-worker, Jessie, came to visit us at the school that day and I was showing off one of the art pieces I liked: It was a shamrock-shaped grill!

****Shit!! Deja vu!!! I've written this before, haven't I? My darn diet is bringing back my deja vu!***

but yeah, the "leaves" fold down so you can light a fire underneath and cook things..

After Jessie left, it was really weird...

We were insanely cold and had huge winter jackets on (we both had a pastel/grayish light blue puffy coats on)..

He got close to me and said, "Why do you have to be so warm?" (kinda creepy sounding, but really it was SO SWEET I went "Awwww") and hugged me tightly..I hugged back, too because he was warm and even by this time I still had a huge crush on him (what is with "Tim" hugging me in these dreams? I don't care, I think it's sweet and would like a hug from him in waking life, but yeah, that would only happen once in a blue moon for reasons I won't state here)..

But it was weird in my dream, because he was dating someone I've met..it was either his girlfriend of 1 1/2 years or someone new that he had dated for about 2 months and yet he hugged me? I didn't care..gawd, by that time, I was just glad I was still able to hang out with him (again for reasons I can't state here)..

Another Dream

The other dream was this employee celebration (not this year, but next Spring)..

instead of on Bridgeview's Parking Lot, it was on the golf course! And HUGE!!!

Some students...okay, A LOT of students snuck in.."Tim" was there, but 50 lbs heavier for some reason..but he still looked good (hello, he has a dancer body)..

I was taking pictures galore and it was a decent day with only a little rain..and the celebration started around 4 p.m. rather than later..

There were different things to do with different live bands, too! at one point, I was crawling over chairs and under sound equipment to get a picture of Saving Jane from the front row..

This dream wasn't as vivid, but I remember agreeing to hang out all day with two separate friends on the weekend (one each day) and they were like, "are you going to remember?" and I was like, I can usually remember things a week in advance..

Another part was my doctor perscribing me 3 pills to take every day (although small, it's one of my biggest fears to swallow pills)..

Out of both dreams, the constant color theme was bright green..whatever that means..

Weight Loss

According to my crap bathroom scale, I'm still around 143-145 pounds..BUT my stomach has been getting smaller quickly..

go figure..

I'm trying to excersize in everyday things and take on extra physically challenging stuff when the opportunity arises..I'm trying to work up a sweat for 30-60 minutes twice a week..

And now, I'm trying to save money by packing a lunch instead of buying cafeteria food..that limits me to fruits and veggies and I each something small every 1.5 - 2 hours and now I'm full when I eat something small..

I try to drink only water or juice as well..

It amazes me because like, when I put my pants on my hips, my "love handles" USED to hang over the sides of my pants as much as the front of my stomach would over the front..my upper sides USED to go straight down or out (even my arms would rest a little on my sides..Large (in juniors/misses) USED to be fitted and sometimes tight on me..

NOW my "love handles" are close to not really being there (I need to lose 1-2 more inches)..the front of my stomach hangs over so much less and almost just sticks out..I can't grab my fat as well..my sides ACTUALLY go in and create a SHAPE!!!! Woot! My thighs are down a lot, too! Large shirts are loose and Medium shirts are fitted!!!

But this is lost fat, not pounds, so y'all out there, like me, who thought pounds were important, it's not really, because you can loose fat but stay the same weight!

Cell Phone Ads and Sorry

Nothin' big..I just wanted to write down some more cell phone ads I came up with..

Scene 1:

An employee in a suit works in a cubicle bored as hell playing solitare.

Her cell phone "rings" with a ringtone that sounds like a club song and her environment changes to a club where she is in club clothes and dancing.

She answers her phone and she's back in her cubicle.


Scene 2:

A guy is walking to class, kinda solemn.

His cell phone "rings" and the ringtone is the theme to "Knight Rider" and his environment changes to him in the talking car going fast down a road.

He answers his phone and he's walking to class smiling.

Scene 3:

Crap I haven't written yet about selling ringtones..

Scene 4:

A girl is falling asleep in class with a bunch of other students.

Her cell phone "rings" and the ringtone is a hard rock song. Her environment changes to her and the other students crowded at a concert rockin' out.

She turns off her phone and everyone around her is looking at her and she's embarrassed. One of the other students gives the "Love live rock!" hand sign.

My other idea is a car commercial for a car feature that doesn't exist, yet. The feature is having the ability to listen to multiple radio stations through headphones so everyone in the car can enjoy their own music.

----
These people are riding in a car and each one changes changes the radio station and each time the music changes, the people's clothes change to match the music (e.g. Cowboy outfits for country, punk/goth for punk rock, prep clothes for pop)..

then at the end, they talk about the feature and everyone has headphones and you can't hear what their music is, but you can tell by their clothes..
-----

If you would like to see my previous cell phone ads, check out the "This Phone Does Not Exist" series Here..


Sorry

Gawd, I've been so complainy today..it was probably because my "Trip to India" was a cup..but that is a long story..

I'd like to have a section on my site dedicated to past friends and friends of friends from Teays Valley..I would like to start on it in the summer, so please send in information and pictures if you'd like, to hopemoore@gmail.com..
