Thought for the day: You can break me, but don’t mess with them

I am a VERY protective older sister.

With two younger brothers and a younger sister, the last thing someone wants to do is mess with them..because I may not look like it, but I can certainly bring it.

Currently, even though I live in another country, my youngest brother and sisters emotions are making their way across the pond to cause me stress.

It is one thing to be a terrible human being towards me…you know..never speaking to me…never acknowledging me..you know.. I will get over it (in due time).

But really, to treat children like this!

You are freaking joking me! What kind of person are you?

They are two of the best kids I know..how can you sit there and not be proud of them, not want to spend time with them, not love them?

When my 14-year-old brother tells me someone in his life rather sit on the phone talking to his girlfriend then spend time with him…how am I suppose to react?

You cause my siblings stress…you cause me stress.

You hurt my siblings…you hurt me.

That is how it works as the older sister.

Don’t play with their emotions. They are just kids. How is that fair to them?

Did you not learn your lesson by how you treated your other two children? Do you not see how you barely have a relationship with one and have a fake relationship with the other?

Apparently…you don’t see these things.

You disgust me… and I can only hope you realise your mistakes before you end up miserable and alone the rest of your life.

Enjoy your piles of money…your house on the water…and the girlfriend you have.

Years from now…none of those things will mean a thing.

You will be alone.

You will be miserable.

You will have lost what could have been your four pieces of pride and joy.

(For all of you who read this…I apologise for my rant…but I needed to get this off my chest. I appreciate the tolerance of this post.)

Thought for the day: My tHAIRapy

Elle Woods gets her nails nr therapy…for , my therapy is getting these awful brown roots covered.

Yes, I am THAT girl.

When I am sad…or just a bit down in the dumps…all my problems seem to disappear just like my roots do over the 2.5 hours process known as my hair appointment.

Makes me feel like a new person to get my hair back to its (wanna be) natural colour.

Truly. There is no better feeling than getting pampered.

Getting your hair done makes you feel spectacular.

No questions asked.

It is amazing. I love it.

This is part of the reason I don’t mind getting my hair done every five weeks…also…the fact my roots are DARK BROWN has a bit to do with it as well.

Plus, I really enjoy keeping up my persona that I am a natural blonde.

At heart anyways ;)

Thought for the day: Sherlock…yes please!

I have begun to watch the British TV series, Sherlock.

I have found a new obsession.

It is truly enticing to watch! You just can’t get enough!

There is something sexy about the British accents and solving mysteries…I just can’t get enough!

Although, the guy who plays Sherlock Holmes is a bit alien like in his facial features…but in an attractive english way of course.

Really makes you think. I love it.

Plus, I see parts of London where I go by once a week or so!

Only down side, is each episode is a tad long, but it keeps you interested throughout.

Love. Love. Obsessed. Love. ;)

Thought for the day: Bottom of the totem pole

Being a student has its frustrations….

paying tuition…having to be stuck in dorms… having to sit through lectures over and over again…no money…

and one thing I have come across…you hold no weight in the world.

As a MA student I STILL have no power to claim.

I try to get interviews…and people turn you down because you are a student. Does not matter that you are getting your Masters degree….

That student title just ruins everything.

People assume you have no idea what you are talking about…when really…if given the chance…you know more than people think.

I am coming across these road blocks while trying to figure out what to do about my final project…and my radio docs that are upcoming.

I have some brilliant ideas…and guess what…none of them are feasable because I am a student…and people don’t give me the access I need…or interviews I need to make an awesome documentary.

Give us a chance people!

Not all top notch journalists start this way…. they all start like me.

A STUDENT JOURNALIST!

People these days. Take a second to give someone a chance…please? I mean really. What is the worst that can happen?

It is an interview people.

Have a little faith in your upcoming generations.

Thought for the day: What Would Elle Woods Do?

W.W.E.W.D?

That is my new motto.

What exactly would Elle Woods do at this time?

I am sitting here working on my script for my scholarship video essay…and honestly, lawyers are kind of boring…and known to be boring…so how to spice up the essay?

That is the real question…

I can add some pink…not so much with the scented aspect.

Maybe some sparkles could work their way into the video? I am not sure.

I am trying to get these creative pink juices flowing so that I can at least get SOME money towards my tuition.

That would be extremely helpful to my current student loan dilemma.

I think in this situation…I will put my journalism skills to good use and do some vox pops to include what people think of lawyers these days in general.

Unique idea right? I thought so at least.

And to get MORE motivation…I am watching Legally Blonde in hopes it sparks some unique ideas :)

Elle Woods….don’t fail me now!!

Thought for the day: The life of a video journalist

I don’t think I could ever do it as a career…

The countless hours setting up interviews, making sure the camera is stable and balanced, constantly keeping the concept of 3:6:9 in your head…and the hours upon hours spent editing every minor detail.

My group (who is amazing) and I have spend the last two days editing our 7 minutes documentary.

It is such a tedious thing to work on.

One wrong click with the mouse and BAM! You are starting from square one.

Does not help Final Cut Pro is a pain in the butt on a regular basis.

But seriously, video journalists…I raise my glass to you.

This job is so time consuming and tedious.

Tedious…too long, slow, or dull; tiresome or monotonous. That is truly the only work I can describe editing especially.

You spend hours upon hours looking at the same scenes…trying to place them so perfectly together…trying to have the perfect sequences.

It is a lot more work than originally thought.

I would proudly say I have a new appreciation for video journalism and documentary.

Props to you who do this for a career…you are truly inspiring….and I hope you have time for other things besides editing…

If not, that would suck…and explain quite a lot.

Cheers to you ;)

Thought for the day: Who will be first?

It is funny to think out of my girl friends…who will be the first to walk down the isle.

As I watched Made of Honor last night with two of my best friends…the conversation came up.

Out of us four (Tom included) who would be the first to get married.

It is a funny thought since none of us are even in a relationship, let alone dating in general. Interesting right?

It is strange to think that within the next five years one of us AT LEAST will be sending the rest of us wedding invites.

It is crazy to think about it.

Who knows where we will even be in the next year…let alone five years from now.

We could be married…with babies on the way or here.

Life flies by..without a doubt.

So, I can’t help but wonder…who will be first…who will be last…and most of all…

Who will we marry?

I guess this is one thing only time will reveal..and I can’t wait to see what happens! :)

Thought for the day: $$$..or £££

Where does all my money go?

I mean…one second I am doing well, the next…dang…I am broke.

Does not help law school applications and scholarships and such has fee after fee. At this rate…I will be broke by the end of the month.

Can’t things be free?

Can’t the pay for high education as an encouragement to those who want to better themselves…?

Silly thought right?

Most would laugh…but in my own little world I like to think one day people will want to help others out…

I like to see the good in people.

And the good of some people’s deep pockets….HELP A SISTA OUT!

Maybe one day I will win the lotto… or I will actually receive these scholarships. Wouldn’t that be just fantastic…could you imagine!

ooooo the possibilities.

oh well, for now I will keep submitting applications…and paying the fees…it’ll be worth it one day…right?

Thought for the day: Niece vs nephew

So my sister-in-law is soon to find out the sex of the little bun in the oven…and of course..the family/friend situation is spilt between who wants a girl and who wants a boy!

My mom, sister and I all want a girl. Reasons why?

HELLO! Pink, pink…and more PINK!

You can buy sparkles for her…and spoil her like a little princess…and it’s all rainbows, disney princess movies and unicorns.

Now, my brother and his friends want there to be a little Stuart running around.

You can throw a ball with him…buy lots of blues, greens and reds…and get to look forward to dirt and stench constantly.

Honestly, I will eat up whichever sex the baby is…because that little peanut will be my niece/nephew and I will love them forever and ever and ever :)

However, it sure is fun to have a little rivalry on what sex peanut will be.

WHICH ONE??

I hope it is a girl.

I am ready to pass my love for pink to the next Weber in the household. ;)

Thought for the day: awkward situations…

You know those situations that you can’t help…and you have no idea how to respond?

Usually these situations are between you and someone who you USE to date/hook up with/liked…whatever the case may be.

Awkward situation example 1:

 When your ex “pokes you” on facebook…how odd. As my friend Sarah says…you wouldn’t poke me in person…don’t cyper poke me.

It is like flirting for the socially awkward.

Especially when its your ex and you don’t speak…and their current significant other hates you…AWKWARD!

Award situation example 2:

 When the person you use to hook up with is in the room when current person you fancy skypes you….

and they have NO IDEA! Even worse…then you feel awkward all by yourself….to make it worse?

They introduce themselves…haha…AWKWARD!

Awkward situation example 3:

When the person you use to hook up with is out with you and your friends…and he purposefully tries to get with one of your best friends…and she’s not having it.

AWKWARD!…mainly for him..that is just odd. Plus, are you really that desperate? Come on…

What to do in these situations? I have no idea…just don’t be super awkward…and just rock the situation? Sure…that works.

In these situations..do what you’ve got to do!
