...has done it again. When I say 'it', I mean be amazing.

Hopefully my muffins that I am going to attempt to make tomorrow will be too.

Fearless

I am a hopeless romantic no matter how much I rant about chick flicks and sappy love novel. I'd rather wear my heart on my sleeve than never day dreaming about what fairy tale things could happen.

"No matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charming and happily ever after. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love is fearless."

Taylor Swift

Chick Flicks

Maybe the whole world should never watch chick flicks. This does include chicks. Period. I feel like it either gives chicks a sense of false hope, paranoia, or realization that things will never happen the way that things ought to. Yes, you do hear about the fairy tale endings, but it's only once in a full moon. No, I'm not a pessimist and a none believer of love, but maybe I don't want to find disappointment when a guy doesn't do the 'romantic' thing or expect 'the unexpected' that the movies show. Life is messy and Hollywood is trying to depict it in chick flicks with some people having happy endings and others having not so happy endings like He's Just Not That Into You. But that movie did give me some sense of false hope just because it was a movie. Maybe those Nicolas Sparks books are giving me the same feelings, which is why I haven't touched them in over a year. And maybe, I'm just being a pessimist for the time being. Who knows, but I'm still as girly as can by when it comes to relationships and the whole nine yards. Not going to lie, that movie was cute though...

The International

In a very attractive British accent, Clive Owen managed to make one thing make sense in The International:

"Sometimes the hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn... I'm the one you burn."

Blacksburgian Summers

Summer in Blacksburg is probably the most relaxing place next to a vacation spot. It is completely easy going with an actual population here other than college students. Sure, there are some college students here, but not the 25,000 that are reside here during the school year. You might think it's a lie, but people who have lived here for a number of summers have told me this. I can definitely say this because this is a vacation as opposed to a summer in Roanoke or like last summer, Boy Scout camp. I have yet to make it out to the marker here or in Roanoke, but I'm determined to go to both by the end of the summer. Seriously, it's so relaxing here that I've been running almost everyday. I wish summers could last forever.

My beloved lacrosse stick gave it it's last catch today. It completely snapped in half when Brian threw the ball fiercely at me. I underestimate his strength sometimes.


We will be going to Play It Again Sports tomorrow to find a replacement.

Tiramisu Saves Lifes

Grande triple soy iced latte. That is how my day started at 9:30 am after closing at 11 pm. Needless to say, I was very cranky. Lucky me, I was scheduled to work until 4 that day, but luckier me...Brian came by with a piece of broken tiramisu as he was getting off for lunch before bar tending that night. Even luckier me, my manager loves me to pieces and let me off 2 hours early so I could 'have lunch with my man.' Who knew that working at a salad place wouldn't be too terrible.

There's life outside of teaching?

Yes, yes there is. Let's see if I can keep up with this since I did so well with the teaching one.
