Through The Looking Glass

Friday Fives

Posted by: Kim on: April 3, 2009

  • Just so you know this is a scheduled post. I will not be near my trusty computer while you read this. Nor will I be anywhere near home*

 

Five Things I am most likely doing at this very moment.

  1. Swimming in this pool to get to the bar located in the middle
  2. Laying on this beach while reading a good book
  3. Relaxing in the lazy river
  4. Drinking something made by this guy at this bar
  5. Swimming with these guys right here (the dolphins of course)

I’ll make sure to have plenty of beautiful pictures when I get back!

And The Lion Fell In Love With The Lamb

Posted by: Kim on: March 18, 2009

So I have been meaning to get back into reading more books lately. I have been slacking recently and it was kinda pissing me off. I wasn’t really sure what it was that I wanted to read though. I get lots of suggestions from people, and I read a lot of reviews on books but I was still unsure. Last weekend I spent Friday night with my girlfriends in Delaware having a girls night in with wine and movies. At some point I drifted to sleep during Strangers and woke up a little after it was over I guess, I’m not really sure. Anywho when I woke up we eventually popped in my friend’s bootleg copy of Twilight. Now I was a little skeptical of seeing this before I read the book, as I had not read it at that point in time. I usually like to read a book before seeing the motion picture that emerged from it. I was also skeptical because I didn’t really know if i wanted to read it or even see the movie. It was blown up so much that it had me nervous that it would not live up to the hype. But I watched anyway of course. The movie was pretty good, it definitely wasn’t as dark as I had envisioned it to be, and I did enjoy it. Now of course that was no surprise to my mother and sister when I talked to them about it because I am an avid sci-fi fan when it comes to vampires. I tend to always fall in love with the stories and the characters, I blame my mother. She would make me watch Dark Shadows as a kid, and the old ass one not the one that was more modern, although I watched that when it came on as well. Last year me and my mother got into watching Moonlight but it was cancelled and we were very upset about it. Then my friends told me about True Blood on HBO, at the end of the season! Well I refuse to pay for HBO service so I spent an entire weekend off watching the whole season online. I was hooked. I am impatiently waiting for it to come back on this summer. But back to Twilight, I decided that I would read the book this week. It was perfect timing too, because I had jury duty today it gave me something to do to occupy my time. I read more than half of it there alone. And of course I came home and finished it. Some people are amazed that I can read a whole book in one day. It just comes naturally to me. If i get hooked on something, I can’t put it down. If I like it, but I’m not completely wrapped up in it, it will take me a few days to finish. I’m a huge nerd, and I’m aware of this. Going into reading the book I had this picture in my mind of the characters, because I saw the movie first, but as I continued to read I imagined my own ideas of who they were. I was nervous at first because I didn’t want to compare the two really. I wanted them to be separate and after a few chapters that wasn’t all that hard. 

There was so much more detail in the book, as there always is, that rounded out the characters and the atmosphere to a whole. The story is based in Forks, WA just outside of where my dad lives in Port Angeles. When they talk about the plane ride from Seattle to PA and the small plane and the airport, it is described perfectly. The movie was not filmed in Forks, as I was told by my friends, which kind of upset me. The place is beautifully creepy. As I read more, I could find myself relating to the surroundings, because I’ve been there as an outsider. The way the night falls in that area, the way the clouds clear at night and the moon shines down on the earth. It made me feel everything I felt of why I loved it there. Port Angeles is definitely one of the most beautiful places I have been, especially at night. It’s quiet, and open and so far from what I am used to in the city. Forks, to me, is a little creepy, but the landscaping and the structure of the town is amazing. I’m steering off topic again though. 

After reading the book, I feel that the movie may have been a little rushed. Like they crammed in too much too soon. They forgot to pay attention to the small details, and they changed some things around. Now it was late when I watched it, and I was intoxicated with wine, so I could be mistaken and I will be watching it again to make a second opinion. But the book, MY GOD! I tried so hard to not give in to temptation with this book. Everyone hyped it up so much, I did not want to be sucked in, but I was unable to restrain myself. It truly was amazing. I finished it  a little while ago, as I had taken a break earlier to take a nap (probably why I can’t sleep now) and I refused to read the excerpt of the second book New Moon because I knew I would not be able to stop reading. I knew I would run upstairs, grab the book and continue to read until I fell asleep with the book in hand. I am going to try and wait a few days before I start to read it. I wanted to wait until I went away on vacation but that seems too far away. Maybe I’ll read be on the third one by then. 

Now while reading this book, I would not believe how many young kids have read it. Sure the main characters are, for the most part, teenagers but some of the underlying feelings, the emotions that are depicted are truly those thoughts of someone a bit older. Maybe it’s just my dirty mind (which has been racing at full speed lately) but the thoughts that ran through my head with some of the actions and feelings were a little more than PG-13. In the end though I pretty much just gave in to my girly side and fell in love with the love story itself. At most times I feel as though my mind thinks too much like a guy when it comes to things like this, but I am a sucker for a sappy, girly, love story. Some of my favorite lines from the book are as follows:

  • You’re intoxicated by my very presence.
  • I’ll always want you… forever.
  • You’re wrong you know… you are worth it.
  • And the lion fell in love with the lamb.

Now I’m not so much in love with the lines itself, just the moments they occurred and the way they were presented. 

Something I realized while reading this book, was how engrossed I get while reading. I realized I do weird things when I read certain things. I get so wrapped up in the story line, I get so attached to the characters that not only will I laugh to myself when something funny happens, or put my hand to my chest when something meaningful and beautiful happens, but I will also  mimic gestures such as smiling or winking. It is SO weird. I plan on never reading a book while in the presence of other people ever again. HA. 

“You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.”-Paul Sweeney

I find this to be very true. If you turn that last page and nothing else is there and you suddenly feel lost, longing for more THAT was a good book. I sincerely enjoyed reading Twilight and I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering reading it.  Don’t judge me for giving into the hype of it all either. I know that there are probably way better, more mature things for me to read but I don’t care. I enjoyed it, I’m looking forward to reading the others, and that’s all that matters. I am going to try and get some sleep now, since it’s almost 3 in the morning.

Friday Fives

Posted by: Kim on: March 13, 2009

I’ve been thinking a lot about things I want to do for myself, things I’ve always wanted to do and never have, things I’ve wanted to do more of. Today’s list will consist of five things I REALLY want to do for myself this year. Now there are plenty of other things I’d want but these are my top five selfish things that don’t really have to do with life matters. They are just fun, exciting things to do. Here we go…

  1. Be more adventurous. When I go to Mexico in a few weeks I will not be drinking the water but I will be swimming with Dolphins. Here at home I am looking into skydiving, bungee jumping, and possibly even driving over more bridges (if you know me you know this is a pretty big thing for me). 
  2. Go to more concerts. I have been to one so far this year and I have two more coming up in the next two months.  One of my favorite things in the world is seeing live performances of people I enjoy.
  3. Become a Pin-Up for a day. I want to have pin-up photos taken, most likely by Celeste Gulianno who is fantastic at what she does. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and I think it would be loads of fun.
  4. Go to L.A. I want to go see my friends out there and catch one of their many shows they have been booking. Maybe I’ll go for my birthday and treat myself.
  5. Learn a new language, maybe two. I would love to be able to speak another language. I always get mad at myself when I don’t know what people are saying when speaking their native tongue. I also would like to continue learning sign language. I use to do it when I was younger and I knew so much but I never stick with it and it kinda got away from me. If anyone is willing to teach me these things feel free to let me know. 

Also if there are any cool things for me to do or try that you know of feel free to let me know about them. I am open to suggestions.

I’ve Come To Realize

Posted by: Kim on: March 12, 2009

“I want you to go out and bite the curb, I’ll be right there.”

That was one of my favorite lines from HIMYM which came from this past weeks episode. Anywho, these past couple of weeks have been long, and exhausting. None of that matters though. Here are some things I’ve learned in this past week. 

  1.  1. If you are talking to someone who smells, or has bad breath, or is leaking sweat from every single pore on their body they WILL find a way to get closer to you and no matter how far you try to back yourself away from them they continue to move towards you. This week I had a man who smelled like he sweating syrup refuse to walk away from and stop talking. Then there are the people who refuse to walk out of the house fresh and clean. Their hair is all matted, their clothes are dirty, they smell like they just ran a mile to the store, or locked themselves in their car with the windows rolled up and ate three cheesesteaks. PLEASE people if you are going out in public, be aware of how you present yourself. Show some courtesy to the people you will be around and their senses.
  2. Red hair dye fades real quick. My hair was turning into some kind of ash color because of how blonde it was before I had it done. I tried my best to hold onto the color as long as possible but I had to give in a re-dye it. I went and bought the stuff myself, did it at home and I think it came out pretty good. It’s a tad darker than it was before but I’m sure it’ll fade just like it did before, hopefully this time it will take longer though. 
  3. I am completely obsessed over these Celebrity Tweets on Twitter. There are some people I really don’t want to follow but have an urge to see what they have to say so the website Celebrity Tweets helps me out with that. I don’t know why I am loving it so much, maybe it’s because it shows how weird and human these people actually are when everyone thinks they are some kind of higher beings, they are just people. I love it.
  4. If I would have heard Lady GaGa sing this song at the NKOTB concert I probably would have enjoyed her a lot more.
  5. I may have an unhealthy thought process. It’s dirty, and weird, and over-analytical, and I think I may need help with that.
  6. This is one of the best lines spoken by Kevin Costner in any movie….. “Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman’s back, the hangin curveball, high fiber, good scotch… that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, I believe there ought to be a Constitutional ammendment outlawing astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft core pornography, opening your presents on Christmas morning rather than on Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three nights.”
  7. Out of all the useless information I know, none of it is useful when it comes to Quizzo. Although I must say I did a lot better with the backwards songs than I thought I would. I impressed myself.
  8. No matter how much you tell a teenager they are wrong and you are right they will never listen. Never. I wonder if I was like that 10 years ago. I say no, but I’m sure others would disagree.
  9. People are fuckin boring. Where have all the fun people gone off to? Why is it that nobody wants to have any fun? Why is it that people my age refuse to enjoy life a little bit? Why does everyday have to be boring and involve misery? I have decided to stay clear of these people even if it means losing friends. I much rather be having fun and be happy with few people around, than miserable with lots of people around.
  10. I am unsure of how I feel about this year’s A.I. all I know is that 
  • a. Last years cast had much more talent
  • b. Danny is AMAZING
  • c. I am glad Anoop is still there.
  • edit: Also I forgot to add that I think the new Judge secretly wants to have sex with every contestant. Seriously. You should see the way she looks at them and the things that she says. She’s outrageous.

Other than that I guess I will have to continue to watch. I normally have a prediction by now but not this year. Hmm…

That’s all I got for today. I am off to catch up on some shows, go to the gym, and enjoy the rest of my day off.

Right Music Wrongs

Posted by: Kim on: March 10, 2009

Something I came across while reading one of my new found “Celebrity News” sites was a quote by a “musician” from a commercial spot he did for Virgin Mobile. The spot is called Right Music Wrongs. Here is that spot

I saw this and laughed immediately thinking about my friend Steve over at clapcowards.com who believes Van Winkle is his archenemy. Seriously. You can read about that here if you’d like. 

Anywho after seeing this it led me to the site rightmusicwrongs.org and I just had to look at the list. Some people who made it are as follows…

  • Soulja Boy
  • Milli Vanilli
  • Lil Wayne
  • David Hasselhoff
  • LFO
  • Baha Men
  • Hanson
  • Aqua
  • Ace Of Base

Now with these artists it lists songs that they should of not put out or “ALL” for obvious reasons. Some people I would of added

  • Crazy Town
  • Beyonce (even though Single LAdies is on the list i would of said all)
  • Lil Mama
  • Joey Lawrence (sp?)
  • Sisqo
  • Pretty Much ANY actor turned musician or vice versa

There are plenty more but you get it. At the moment Carson Daly is occupying my television set so I must go so I can change the channel for at least 5 minutes to get his voice out of my head and then I am off to bed.

Tweet This…

Posted by: Kim on: March 9, 2009

So I was sitting here “surfing the web” as some people would say and came across a new Celebrity site (Wonderwall) for my own indulgence. I have decided to humor myself, at least for a little while, by keeping up with some celebrity news. I always enjoy receiving it in a humorous way, which is why i enjoy the occasional TMZ. Anywho I came across an article they had on the 10 most interesting celebrity tweets (ya’ know on Twitter) which lead me to a page that actually weens out the fake celebrity twitters from the real ones (celebs who actually advertise it on their sites as official). Now some of these tweets seem to be a bit interesting. I think that, at least for a little while, I will follow some of these “celebrity tweets” and see who shows promise on being funny, interesting, and a bit more human than one might have thought. I’m super excited about the Rainn Wilson one. Reason behind me doing this? Boredom, amusement, and the fact that not too many of my friends are a huge fan of Twitter, despite how awesome it is. So I will see how this goes and let you know if I come across anything interesting. Until next time…

The New Late Night Premiere

Posted by: Kim on: March 3, 2009

I’m not gonna lie I shed a small tear when I watched Conan’s last episode of Late Night, then I remembered he will be on The Tonight Show in June and all was well again. Anywho I am sitting here watching the premiere of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon because I just had to watch it to see how he did. At the moment I am currently rewinding the episode on my DVR so I can listen to his monologue because I missed it due to the fact that I was watching Heroes a little later than expected. So let me watch this real quick… Stay tuned….

Sidenote: I was lucky enough to have the end of Jay Leno on my TV and got to see The Fray perform. Love them!

The opening clip with Jimmy and Conan in the dressing room was pretty funny, but only because seeing Conan pretending to be serious made me laugh. 

Ok now down to business. THE ROOTS? Really? They are the new late night band? I hope this is temporary. I mean I love The Roots and that is why this is kinda upsetting me. They should not be doing backup music for a late night talk show at least not right now. Wow. Slow Jammin’ The News? Really though? 

They obviously hired some new writers for the show. The jokes are not all that great, or Jimmy just can’t deliver all that well, either way opening monologue should have been ALOT better for the first show. Now we all know how Late Night does it’s crazy sketches, and weird skits. Jimmy opened with a game called “Lick It For Ten” a game where he has his audience like something for ten bucks. Really? You couldn’t think of anything better to come up with? I didn’t find it funny, matter of fact I found it completely disgusting watching some guy lick the side of a fishbowl. So far the only thing I have found appealing is the set. His set is definitely more modern than Conan’s was and it kinda looks a little bigger. Although the nad area looks a little cramped for The Roots.

First guest up: Robert De Niro. I mean you can’t go too wrong with that as far as fame factor goes. He is definitely a good choice to go with on that level, except he doesn’t talk much. They make a joke out of it because it’s pretty well known but yet they have him on a talk show premiere episode. There is no doubt that he is a fantastic actor, but the interview was pointless other than to talk about his Tribecca Festival, and show a silly skit they did (which was not fantastic) so I wasn’t too thrilled with that. 

Second Guest: Justin Timberlake. Ugh. Now I give props where props are due and JT definitely has an amazing voice. He is a great performer and he has really made a name for himself but for god’s sake please somebody get this guy a new personality. Justin, news flash, you are NOT funny. I don’t care what kind of skits he has done on SNL, I don’t care if he is willing to look like a douche bag (it’s only because he really is one) I do not find him appealing. He is a complete nerd (and not in the cute, Justin Long kind of way.) He thinks he’s cool when he calls DeNiro, Bob, because they go back. Give me a break. Then they talk about John Mayer, who I love, and the faces he makes. Yes, I will be the first to admit he makes the weirdest faces while performing but why put him on blast like that? Sorry Justin just makes my blood boil. I really don’t know why so many people fall all over him other than his musical talents. 

Now what really bugs me about these two guests is that they have nothing to offer other than time. Neither one of them have anything decent to promote. DeNiro had Tribecca and Justin had some weird as MTV show that he is producing  (FYI Justin you are not Ashton and this show looks stupid.) 

Shining Moment- Van Morrison. He is amazing. I love him and I always enjoy him.

Now of course I will have to continue to tune in and see and how this goes, especially because Tina Fey is going to be on tomorrow along with Jon Bon Jovi. Now Tina Fey will absolutely make Jimmy look good. I’m sure they will have many funny moments together and she will be promoting a new episode of 30 Rock, so it shouldn’t be too bad. We’ll see I guess. Until next time…

Hot Or Handsome?

Posted by: Kim on: February 25, 2009

So I was listening to the radio this morning(which is pretty rare) because I was being lazy and did not feel like getting a CD out to listen to  and I came across a discussion about which is a better compliment for a guy: To be called hot or handsome? Now they were trying to get people of all ages to call in and give their opinions. Now I didn’t catch the whole thing but one thing they were saying is that a more mature man would rather be called handsome and more mature women would be more likely to call a man handsome. I find this to be pretty true to an extent. One guy called in and said his daughter’s friends call him a “Hot Old Guy” which I had to laugh at usually if I see an older guy who’s good lookin I will say “He’s pretty hot for an old guy” but that’s just for some random guy. “Hot” is usually the term I would use if a guy is walkin by, or on tv, or just someone I may know who is good looking (I often use the term good lookin’ as opposed to hot but I have my moments.)

When it comes to someone you are with in an actual relationship with I think handsome fits it better. If you are with a guy and you can not say that you think he is handsome there is something wrong. I think it is a more appropriate term of endearment for a day to day thing. Most women would prefer to hear they are  beautiful instead of hot on a day to day basis, same idea. It just means more. 

Now I also think that the term “sexy” is appropriate at certain times, sexual moments of course. Hearing your partner call you sexy at the right moment, in the right tone, can intensify any encounter. When you are trying to seduce your partner and you hear the wrong thing, it can definitely turn you off. When a guy/girl does a certain thing, says a certain thing, or looks at you a certain way that just turns you on right then and there “He/She is so sexy” is a pretty appropriate term. I just think it only works when in terms of a sexual way, which of course makes sense. 

Now this post had no point other than for me to express my feelings on the discussion. What do you think? If you are a guy would you rather be called “hot” or “handsome”? And if you are a girl which would you call your guy? Feel free to give me your opinions.

I’ve Been Slacking

Posted by: Kim on: February 24, 2009

I am well aware that I have been slacking on my blog posts. Recently I have been spending my free time writing. I haven’t been writing this much in a long time and it feels good. I’ve also been reading as much as I can as well. I came across Anais Nin, who is known for her published journals and female erotica. I came across some quotes by her on the interwebs which led me to read about her and read some of her stuff. She really was an amazing woman with a fantastic thought process. As you may know I am completely obsessed with quotes so I will grace you with some from her. Please Read through them because they really are amazing and I can relate to a lot of what she said. I will highlight my favorites….

  • Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age
  • And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom
  • Anxiety is love’s greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic
  • Do not seek the because – in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions
  • Dreams are necessary to life.
  • Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living. 
  • Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it.
  • Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
  • Good things happen to those who hustle
  • How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
  • I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing.
  • I will not be just a tourist in the world of images, just watching images passing by which I cannot live in, make love to, possess as permanent sources of joy and ecstasy
  • I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
  • If all of us acted in unison as I act individually there would be no wars and no poverty. I have made myself personally responsible for the fate of every human being who has come my way
  • If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don’t write, because our culture has no use for it. 
  • It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
  • It’s all right for a woman to be, above all, human. I am a woman first of all. 
  • Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat
  • Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.
  • Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish it’s source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
  • Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.
  • People living deeply have no fear of death.
  • The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.
  • The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.
  • The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery
  • The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say
  • There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do.
  • There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person
  • Truth is something which can’t be told in a few words. Those who simplify the universe only reduce the expansion of its meaning
  • We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. 
  • When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others.
  • …for no one has ever loved an adventurous woman as they have loved adventurous men.
  • I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.
  • Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terror, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them
  • I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding

Phenomenal! I love her!

Friday Fives

Posted by: Kim on: February 13, 2009

Valentine’s Day isn’t until tomorrow but I wanted to do a Friday Fives on it. I actually like Valentine’s Day, and it doesn’t matter if I’m single or with someone I think it’s a nice holiday for people to enjoy with the ones they love. Do I think it’s  too commercial? Absolutely. Do I think people spend way too much money on unnecessary things? Yes! But I still think it’s a good, loving day. Being that we are in a recession I don’t think people should be wasting their money on frivolous things on holidays like this. Here are my five alternatives to not go broke this year.

  1. Flowers. They are super expensive for something that is going to die in a few days to a week. I don’t feel that people should spend so much money on them. Yes they are pretty and they look nice but what’s the point? When we were in High School our brother school would send us fake roses. We would get them from friends, boyfriends, etc. One year a really great friend of mine who had been out of school for a few years had his neighbor send me flowers from him. It was super cute. I know I’m not in High School anymore but an arrangement is a sweet gesture and it doesn’t have to be flowers. They do fruit arrangements and candy arrangements now, at least with something like that you get use out of it, maybe even break it out later and feed it to one another at the end of your evening. If you feel as though you must get flowers for someone then go with something less expensive than roses. Do daisies, or tulips, or something equally as pretty. I personally think roses are over rated. I prefer Hibiscus and Orchids.
  2. Fancy Dinners. Ever  restaurant jacks up there prices on V-Day. I worked in a one for 3 years so  know. They try to hide it by offering specials but you are paying WAY more than needed for food. Yes the atmosphere is nice I guess but still. Why not have a quiet evening at home with a romantic home made dinner? A friend of mine said yesterday “Make some yams, get some yams.” It’s a nice thought, maybe not in those words but it works. 
  3. Expensive Jewelry.   Unless you plan on proposing on V-Day I don’t think it’s needed to buy expensive jewelry for this holiday. That should be saved for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries and such. Instead a gift with meaning is cuter. It shows you know the person you are buying for, it shows you listen and you are thoughtful. Buy them something that has to do with who you are as a couple, or something that reminds them of a really special moment you have shared together. To me that is a better gift anyway.
  4. Singles Parties. I hate those singles parties all the clubs advertise for Valentine’s Day. They cost way too much t get in, drinks are way too expensive and by the end of the night you are either drunk and crying or drunk and hooking up with someone who’s name you won’t remember the next day. Who wants that? I say if you are single and plan on spending this holiday with friends then do something fun. If you are a bunch of girls have a girls night in or go to the movies and see “Confessions of a Shopaholic” or if you haven’t yet see “He’s Just Not That Into You” I say go for the former though But please, for my sake, whatever you do, do NOT put on B’s Single Ladies song on blast all night I beg you. If you are guys who are single, you are going to go to a bar and try to pick up the single ladies regardless so whatever I say here won’t matter. 
  5. Sexy Lingerie. It’s a nice sentiment to wear something special for your man but don’t go overboard, he’s gonna rip it off anyway. I say if you still have something sexy that you may have worn on one of your first intimate nights, wear that, go old school. If not, if you want to get something new don’t go spending an arm and a leg at Vicky’s(and you know I love Vicky’s) there are plenty of other places you can get something sexy to wear for your man. Or be creative, buy a large bow, or go Varsity Blues style and get a whip cream bikini going on. Like I said it’s only going to be lying on the floor in a couple minutes anyway so don’t overdo it.

Well there ya go. I hope everyone has a fantastic Valentine’s Day. I will be working for the sixth year in a row. But I plan on having a nice night with my friends. 

…Kisses…
