11 things...

So I've been pretty MIA in the blog world and just today, I visited Miss. Kaelah Bee's Blog where I saw this post titled, "11 Things," so I decided to join in on the fun and post my own "11 Things." Hope you enjoy reading my randomness!

There are five rules:

1. Post these rules.

2. Post a photo of yourself and 11 random things.

3. Answer the questions set for you in the original post.

4. Create 11 new questions and tag people to answer them.

5. Go to their blog/twitter and tell them you've tagged them.

[  My hard drive just recently went on my Mac, 

so all my pictures were lost, hence the horrific picture above : )  ]

1. I have not had a legit haircut since my freshman year of highschool [read: 7 years!!] I long my long hair entirely too much to ever cut it again.. long hair, no care! lol
2. My first and only tattoo [so far] was done by my very close friend in her basement when I was 20.. it was one of the first tattoos she had ever done at the time. As well, I pierced my own lip in my sister's bedroom when I was 19.
3. I have a stigmatism in both my eyes, which means I'm blind as a bat without my contacts/glasses. Definition of a Stigmatism for those who don't know, means that my eyeballs are oblonge, like a football, instead of round like the average eyeball.
4. I love everything Harry Potter. Period.
5. I am huge fan of hockey. My team is the New Jersey Devils.
6. I love to craft and creative things. Sewing and graphic design/card making are my two favorite hobbies that I enjoy doing in my free time. I hope to one day be able to make a living by doing something in the creative field.
7. I'm freakiously good at hiding my emotions.. it takes an awful lot for me to express how I'm really feeling, especially when comes to anger. Ask anyone who know mean and they will concur that is takes an awful lot for me to get anger with someone...
8. I'm in love with my birthday. Ever since I was little, I've really loved being born on January 8th, mostly because it's Elvis Presley's birthday and Dave Bowie's too! {I secretly believe I'm destined for fame because of this hahaha}
9. I never what to grow up. Ever.
10. I'm kinda, sorta, just little bit lazy. Haha. but serious, I am.
11. I want to live in Cinderella's Castle in Walt Disney World.

1. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?

    I'm not sure that I do. I do read my horoscope often and sometimes I do take what it says to mind, but I don't really know much at all about astrology so I would have to say that, no, I don't believe in it. 

2. If you could teleport to any time and place, where would you go and why?

    This is going to sound outrageous and will probably reveal some of the insecurities I have about myself, but when I read this question, I instantly thought of teleporting to my wedding day. Although I do not know the time or place, I would mostly just want to know that that day really does exist in my future because more often than not, I feel like that day will never come. So I would just want some reassurance to know that one day, some day, I will get married. 

3. What are the three closest items to you right now?

     The three closest physical items to me at this very moment[besides my laptop] are my Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, my New Jersey Devils jacket, and lastly, my sewing machine.

      

4. If you had a spirit animal, what would it be?

    This question totally reminded me of the Harry Potter films, where the characters in the movie have Patronuses, which are similar to a spirit animal haha but anyway, I would want mine to be a Siberian Tiger. I've loved tigers since I was in the second grade and had to do an assignment on them. I fell in love with there beauty instantly, and it breaks my heart knowing they are endangered. : (

5. What is your earliest childhood memory?

     I'm not sure if this is an actual memory, or if I watched this moment on an old family video, but I think this is the earliest moment of my child hood that I can remember. I was about 2 or 3 years old, living in my old house in Wayne, NJ, driving down the sidewalk in my pink Barbie convertible. I loved that car, with the phone in it and you could talk to Barbie haha Sooo much fun!

6. Where do you hope to see yourself in 5 years?

    Ohhhh my! I kinda hate this question. I hope to see my self successfully running my own business{I'm not going to reveal what it is yet, because I'm not quite sure lol} and hopefully madly in love and happily married.. but only time can tell, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see. [I'll keep you all posted!]

7. Have you kept in touch with your childhood best friend(s)?

    Not necessarily childhood, but some high school friends I still keep in touch with. Being that were still in college, it's tough to constantly keep in touch all the time. 

8. If you had to describe yourself in 5 words, what would they be?

    Funny, Shy, Creative, Childish, Awkward... the list goes on.

9. Describe your idea of a perfect day: Where would you go, what would you do, who would you do it with?

    I would go to one of the many places I always wanted to go to, there's a lot of them, but I would just pick one at random, bring my family and my closest friends and just do anything and everything. Just spending time with loved ones is a blessing in of its self.

10. What kind of "weird" foods do you like? (They could just be weird to your friends/family, kind of like my pickle sickles!)

       Well, some all of my family and friends find all the "vegetarian foods" that I eat extremely weird and even unappetizing at times.. I just laugh because it's all delicious and they don't know what they're missing out on!

11. Do you collect anything? If so, what? 

      I do actually! I collect movie tickets. I have every movie ticket from every movie I've ever saw in theaters from 2006 until present, and future of course. The first one that started my collection is a true classic in the film world, Mean Girls! lol okay so some might not think thats necessarily a 'classic,' but I think otherwise. I absolutely love watching movies, not necessarily going to the movies, but I find movie watching to be very entertaining. My favorite trait about myself, is being about to directly quote an entire movie. My mom absolutely hates when we're watching a movie together and I'm just sitting there quoting every line right along with the characters. I don't know what it is, but I just find it so entertaining, and hilarious! haha

Now, here's my 11 random questions for you! Enjoy!

1. Are you afraid of the future/growing up?
2. If you could change anything about your life, what would it be and why?
3. Who is your biggest inspiration in your life?
4. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
5. What is your hands down favorite movie(s) of all time?
6. What is your favorite childhood memory?
7. If you could fix one major world problem, i.e. racism, world hunger, which one would you choose and why?
8. Do you have any hobbies? If so, what are they?
9. What's your favorite holiday, and why is it your favorite?
10. Did you ever experience something that made you reevaluate your life and make you realize how unimportant somethings are compared to others?
11. Do you truly believe the world is going to end this year?

This is who I tagged in this post: Kristyn, Charlavail, Sara Eli, & RosiePosie...
For anyone else who might stumble upon this post, join in on the fun and post your own "11 Things," and please let me know if you do! I'd love to read it!

Thanks for reading and be sure to do your own "11 Things!"

Fun Fact Friday

     I have one very "special"(& i don't mean, meaningful) black & purple, nautical star tattooed on my left wrist. It's the first tattoo I've ever gotten, with hopefully more to follow. I received this "special" ink from a former friend whose become a little less than an acquaintance nowadays. I got it done in her basement. When I was 20. Over Spring Break. Without my parents knowing. I got into loads and loads of trouble for it lol I wasn't allowed to leave my house except for school and work for about 2 months!!! haha Its definitely a great story to tell, and that's mostly why I love this tattoo soooo much! Besides the fact that its my first one, it was done by a 'then' friend[my tat was the first legitimate tattoo she had ever done] & it was free!! haha yeah I know I broke all the major rules when it comes to getting tattooed, but honestly I really didn't care. I was being spontaneous and having fun! 

     The tattoo turned out awful(no offense Nic), everyone that sees it thinks its sharpie, then when I tell them its real, they burst out in laughter haha I think its hilarious too. Plus, when I tell them the whole story, there's even more of a reason to laugh. I am planning to get it covered up though, because even though it was my first, its not pretty and I want something else there. Although, sometimes i think about keeping it the way it is, because it is my first tattoo and i feel i should keep around for shits and giggles lol. I have had it for almost a year and a half and I'm not hating it as much as the people who've seen it haha Ohhh well, that's life. And I don't regret a single thing about this tattoo. Oh and here's a photo of it, so you can have a big laugh about it... share it with everyone you know too, i'm positive they'll get a laugh out of it too! I mean seriously, just look at that picture and try not to laugh at how bad it is! hahaha

And YES! it's perfectly okay to laugh at it! I still do! haha and yes!, please leave comments about it, or share yours if you have any!! I'd LOVE to hear all about it!! : D

First Ever: Fun Fact Friday!

     Good morning lovelies! I have loads of running around to do today! I  have a wedding to attend in two weeks with my family and lots of little bits and bobs still need to get finished. I just sent my dress to be altered yesterday and I also bought some shoes to wear with it. I absolutely dread going to weddings; it's definitely not my cup of tea. Any way, I will be going all over the place with my mom today trying to get as much done as possible.
     So I will leave you with my first ever FUN FACT FRIDAY!!

Enjoy!

     Well Today's first ever Fun Fact Friday is... That I am one of six(6) children! Yes, all from the same mom and dad! lol I find it funny when people ask me that; yes, my parents have six children together lol. I am the second child behind my oldest brother who is 22. I am, however, the first girl and first granddaughter; I'm 21. Then there's my first younger sister who's 20 and after her comes my youngest sister who's 13. After the girls is the younger boys, who are 10 and 8. It's a pretty big family and although they drive me insane at times, there's never a dull moment in our house! 

     So there you have it, my first ever Fun Fact Friday!! It was fun to do this and i'm hoping to keep at it as long as I can remember to post hahaha well until next time friends, have an awesome weekend!
