Need to blog more

So, here I am again.

I thought about blogging more. Just random stuff, hence the title of my blog. I used to write a lot. Remember Xanga? I blogged every day on there. Frankly, it was a lot of angsty, emo crap when I was younger. I admit, I'm still emo at times, but let's face it. When you have lady bits, it's inevitable that we get emo. While I may not blog every day, I'll try to blog more for everyone's entertainment. I've been told that I'm pretty funny (tooting my horn *toot toot*), and that makes me happy. Without further ado, my random thoughts of the day.

Guys who are taller but skinnier than I am are not hot. It makes me feel like I'd be Jell-O wrapped around a chicken bone. That isn't appetizing. I don't like it. 

Is there any way to keep Krazy Glue from drying up after you use it one or two times? Actually, it hasn't really worked well on the last few times I've used it. Krazy Klue is Krazy Useless.

Do you ever take a poop the size of a baby's arm and you pray that it won't clog the toilet? When it does go down without any problems, you are so full of relief and your worries were literally flushed away. No? Yeah, I don't do that, either. 

Speaking of Krazy Glue, I went to the 99 cent stores to look for some. I bought a bowl because a bowl is exactly like Krazy Glue. I didn't buy any Krazy Glue. 

Cody's been farting up a storm. I'm very grateful that it's only around the 60s right now and not humid and in the 90s. Death by inhaling fart in extremely hot and humid conditions isn't exactly glamorous. 

Strapless bras are the devil. I wore one today because I wanted to be sexy like Jennifer Beals in Flashdance and wear an off-the-shoulder top. I usually wear a regular bra and don't give a crap about my strap showing, but I decided to be daring and wear my strapless bra I've worn exactly once for half a day. It's actually a decent bra, but I just kept getting paranoid that it would fall off and wind up falling down to my ankles. Therefore, I was walking around like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.  

Wondering if I should eat right now. It's 11:42 pm and I'm starving. Yeah, probably. I was excited that I was able to fit into a pair of size 2 shorts the other day, barely. My crotch wasn't really happy about it, so if I keep up these 11:42 pm meals, I'm pretty sure my crotch will reject those shorts. My lady bits won't be happy and then I'll be emo again.

Crowdtap - Hershey's Spreads review

I'm a member of a site called Crowdtap. From time to time, I receive samples to review. I was given the opportunity to try out the new Hershey's Spreads in Chocolate with Almond. Well, of the three flavors, Chocolate, Chocolate with Hazelnut, and Chocolate with Almond, Chocolate with Almond was the one I wanted to try least. I really wanted to try the one with hazelnuts because I'm a Nutella fiend.

The texture is very strange. It's almost like a very thick mousse. But it's also like jello? I can't explain it. It's certainly not as milky, smooth, and silky as I'd hoped. It's nothing like Nutella. It definitely doesn't taste as good.

I put it on fruits, peanut butter and chocolate spread on toasted bread, and waffles. It was actually pretty good on the waffles. It melted a bit on the warm waffles and made the consistency a lot better.

Overall, I wouldn't buy this again. I love Nutella too much and Nutella blows this spread out of the water. Maybe I'll try the hazelnut flavor because I love hazelnuts. Plus, if it's as good as Nutella and is cheaper, I might consider switching.

Happy Giveaways!

I should start blogging again. I'm just going to do what I used to do on Xanga. I'm going to write about whatever I want, no matter how stupid and random it is. I've noticed I tend to write when I'm feeling very down, but I'm going to try and change that. I'm going to make this blog into a place where I share links to giveaways, my wins, and just general happy things.

To start off, here's a giveaway from Maryam Maquillage. Let me tell you, she is absolutely gorgeous! She's basically perfect. Her makeup is always flawless. I love her eyebrows. Enter her giveaway! It's quick and easy!

Child Exploitation?

I am going to be so mean right now, so please bear with me. There was a kid, maybe around 12-13 years old, playing piano outside by Chase and he was selling CDs for $10. I'm sorry, but holy cow. He was TERRIBLE. Oh, the way he ruined Bach and Mozart almost made me cry. He was haphazardly playing with tons of wrong notes and with absolutely no feeling. You would expect the kid to be pretty good to be selling CDs, but no. Goodness gracious, my ears! There are plenty of kids who are much better than he is, but they don't profit off their talent like that. It has to be the parents' idea. I played those pieces when I was his age. Did I sell CDs? No! What's even worse was that a huge crowd was standing around him as if he were extraordinary. Did they not have ears? 

Look, it's great that he plays and music is great for children, but I really don't see why he's selling CDs. I wouldn't have minded if he was just playing, but it's the fact that his dad was there trying to sell CDs. I just found that so wrong. The way he was playing was robotic. Even the look on his face while he was playing was emotionless. That's not how you play piano! Just because you can "play" a piece, doesn't mean you can PLAY a piece. I just wanted to go over there and show him how to play correctly. 

I don't even think the parents are proud of how he plays piano. They just want to make money out of it. What the heck is that? I wonder if he enjoys playing or if he's simply doing it to appease his parents.

Self-conscious

I'm still looking for a dress for my brother's wedding. I honestly have no idea what I'm looking for. It doesn't help that I'm incredibly self-conscious. What kind of shape do I want? Fabric? Length? Color? Gah! It's all too overwhelming. I've also come to realize that I have really big hips. My outer thighs are huge. I also think I have a long torso. This search has really made me feel crappy about my body. How do you even shrink your outer thighs? 

For as long as I remember, I've been very self-conscious. I remember when I was getting my senior portrait taken in high school, the photographer was extremely rude to me. I have pretty small eyes and I've always hated them. I guess I wasn't looking at the right place because he was getting frustrated with me. He actually said something like "What are you looking at? Do you have a lazy eye?" Of course, that made me very uncomfortable and I wound up looking terrible in my pictures. I seriously didn't know where to look at the camera. If he gave me some direction, maybe I would've known. And no. I don't have a lazy eye, asshole. I have perfect vision, which people with a lazy eye usually don't have. What kind of photographer says something like that? 

Ever since, I've been really uncomfortable when someone takes a picture of me. That's why you don't really see any pictures of my friends or relatives with me on my facebook page. I'm okay with taking pictures when I'm alone a.k.a. selfies, but I actually get very anxious when people take pictures of me. I try to smile, but I can feel my mouth quivering and my face getting hot. I usually look very awkward in pictures and I hate it when friends tag me in their pictures. 

It's also difficult for me when I meet new people. I think many people think that I'm standoffish when I first meet them. It's really because I'm very nervous. I'm so afraid that they'll judge me by my appearance that I avoid eye contact. This also makes things difficult when I go on a first date. I've done some online dating and goodness, I'm a nervous wreck. I think this is why I'm still single. I'm just way too concerned about how I look. I wish I could loosen up and just be myself. I think by not making eye contact and being really nervous, the guy probably thinks I'm not interested. Or maybe I'm just ugly. I don't know. 

I often think that I'm unattractive. I hate my eyes, I need braces again, I'm not in amazing shape, I hate the shape of my face (it's too long), I'm just a mess overall. I know guys like confident girls, so I'm shit out of luck in that department. I really wish that I could just not give a crap about what other people think and make people take me as I am. I really envy people who are outgoing and have no trouble meeting new people. 

So, I'll continue with my dress search. I'll probably wind up wearing something I don't love. I'll probably just settle. That's the story of my life. 

Do I look fat in this?

I went shopping yesterday and tried on a bunch of clothes. A few hours of shopping and I came home empty-handed. Well, I bought three pairs of underwear, but who's going to see that? Nobody! Sigh. 

I was in a dressing room at H&M and overheard a girl asking a guy if he could see her stomach in the dress she was wearing. I could clearly hear the reluctance in his voice and he said, "Um, it shows a little, but will that bother you? It's fine if you're okay with it." She said, "I don't care! Doesn't this dress make me look skinny, though?!" I don't know if he was being really nice, if it was just a really tight dress and anybody with more than 1% body fat would look fat in it, or if she was seriously deluded. I wish I saw what she looked like. I'm thinking he was being way too nice. I also think she was probably fishing for a compliment, but didn't get one. 

I tried on a few casual dresses to wear when I go out with my girls, but ugh. I looked terrible. I lost some weight recently and I had the nerve to try on some tighter dresses. I think this has discouraged me even more! I had a pooch and no matter how much I sucked in my stomach, it was still there. I was totally bummed out. I thought my body was looking better, but I've been fooling myself. I'm still a flabby mess. I had my eye on a dress from ASOS, but now I'm having second thoughts because it's a very body conscious dress. 

Looking for a dress for my brother's wedding has been a complete failure. I don't think I'm THAT picky. It's my brother's wedding! I can't just wear some random, ordinary dress. It needs to be fabulous! I just can't seem to find the right dress. If I could do advanced sewing, I would totally make my own dress. I just don't see what I like. I'm the type of person who has to love something in order for me to buy it. If there's even just one tiny thing that I don't like, I won't buy it. Another problem is that the dresses I DO want to buy are just way too expensive. I know it's supposed to be a special dress, but I just can't justify paying over $500 for a dress. The only dress I'd pay that much for would be my wedding dress. I'm not the one getting married here, so no $500 dress for me!

I really need to start exercising more. I don't want to be a blob. I really hope I'll find a dress that I'll love or else I might just have to go to my brother's wedding in my bedsheets.
