How to find cute guys, or as my mom would say, "charming" guys. Because it's not about looks, it's about personality.<br />
<br />
So here's how I go about finding the perfect people:<br />
<br />
I brought cereal and milk to work so I could save time and eat there.<br />
Got to work. Poured a bowl of cereal, only to find bugs crawling around in the cereal... great.<br />
<br />
Just my luck.<br />
At least it wasn't as bad as the last time I brought cereal and milk somewhere - the milk ended up spilling in my backpack, conveniently ruining my paycheck. Still haven't gotten a new one and the next pay period is coming up. I should probably work on that..<br />
<br />
Anywho. No cereal called for a Trader Joes run since it's only about a 3 minute drive from my work.<br />
<br />
Clocked out on my lunch break and off to the store I went. Got my cereal. Went to the express line. Realized that it was gonna take way longer than the line that had a person finishing up their purchases with no one waiting behind them. Went to that line. Got a cute - ahem - charming cashier who was probably about my age. He saw that I was wearing my high school's sweater and asked if I still went there. We laughed about how LOL NOPE I'm actually going into my third year of college. Thank the lordie I'm not in high school anymore. He said: "Man, I was thinking I must be old if you're still in high school". I then asked him where he went and he said he went to SAMO, making sure to inform me that his school hated mine. Cue laughter. It wasn't the longest conversation ever seeing as all I got was cereal, so my check out time was about .3 seconds. But it was super fun just meeting someone naturally and enjoying a quick laugh with a nice person.<br />
<br />
I had previously come to the conclusion that meeting people in real life is way cooler than meeting them virtually in a slightly pathetic way, but I still succumb to lame dating apps as a form of entertainment... Even though I'm fully aware that going out in the real world and meeting people is way better.<br />
<br />
Although, the guy I just met on OKCupid isn't half bad... maybe online dating is a more convenient way of finding out who is single, who isn't, and who wants to get their groove on. Just an idea.<br />
<br />
<br />

I feel like all my life I've been mediocre, average, Plain Jane. Medium. <br />
It's as if I'm balancing on a fine line between something and nothing. Big and small. High and low.<br />
And I'm medium. Always medium.<br />
My pants? Medium. Shirt? Medium.<br />
Grades? Medium. Hair? Medium. Skills? Medium.<br />
My life? Some sort of medium.<br />
Even my laptop battery right now is low-medium.<br />
<br />
Oh, that's another thing.<br />
<br />
If I'm not medium, I'm low.<br />
Organizational skills? Low. Self-esteem? Low. Ability to be productive? Low.<br />
Knowing what the fuck I want to do with myself or my life? LOW.<br />
<br />
I'm starting to realize that I try to do so many things that I start to lose focus of the path I'm standing on and where the next five steps will take me.<br />
My vision is constantly blurry.<br />
My mind is blurry. Thoughts, blurry.<br />
Sense of anything - blurry.<br />
<br />
Everything is so blurry that I can't even keep myself concentrated on what I want to write about.<br />
I keep forgetting. My thoughts keep going<br />
s<br />
i<br />
d<br />
e<br />
w<br />
a<br />
y<br />
s<br />
.<br />
<br />
I just need to forget. Or remember. Hot damn if I could remember something for once I think my life would be a good 30% easier. <br />
If I could be productive and efficient, there's another 30% to tack on.<br />
But those are just numbers. <br />
I've never believed in numbers. </div>

We all have our flaws.<br />
She loves too much, <br />
I love too little.<br />
She can pour her heart out to a guy she's known for a week.<br />
I can see a guy for months and still have little to no feelings.<br />
I'm scared and numb, I'm pessimistic and weak.<br />
<br />
Some people might say it's bad that she loves to easily.<br />
Even I think she should slow it down.<br />
Her sob stories are so similar and repetitive and I try to warn her.<br />
But she's going to love.<br />
It doesn't matter what anyone says;<br />
She'll always be a lover and a fighter.<br />
<br />
Then there's me.<br />
At the first problem, I wince and question everything I'm doing.<br />
I try to act tough, I try not to feel emotion.<br />
But deep down, I do.<br />
I know that I'm hurt,<br />
But I'll never show it.<br />
<br />
She's a fighter and a lover,<br />
I'm a coward and a wanderer.<br />
<br />
I try to warn her that she should take her time.<br />
She'll get hurt.<br />
Hearts are fragile - too fragile to be shaken so roughly.<br />
But she - she feels more than I've ever felt.<br />
She feels tenderness. She feels love.<br />
I feel the same repetitive lips and tongue; I'm numb to love.<br />
<br />
Emotions escape me.<br />
Love escapes me.<br />
I'm showered in kisses.<br />
I'm deprived of love.<br />
I search for a soulmate.<br />
I act like a child.<br />
<br />
Love is too bold a word to ever try to describe.<br />
Love is this. Love is that.<br />
I can't explain love to anyone, because love is different for everyone.<br />
I want to love and I want to be loved.<br />
Patience. I have none.<br />
Instant gratification. I yearn for it.<br />
<br />
I'm too pessimistic and too cold to receive love.<br />
I don't let anyone in.<br />
I don't let love in. <br />
My doors have been shut and my locks have been rusted.<br />
I'm too old for this game.<br />
I'm only just getting started.<br />
<br />
I want to be a fighter.<br />
I want to be a lover.<br />
There is no love without hurt.<br />
There are no tears without stories.<br />
I want to be a lover, <br />
But I have much to learn.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>

2) I don't want to be compared to the person who is the reason I because vegetarian.

Hi, my name is Rebecca but let me change to my alter ego of the Christmas Grinch right quick.<br />
Christmas is definitely one of the greatest holidays when you're little - free stuff wrapped up so that the anticipation of the gift is so great - who doesn't love that?! Legos, blocks, clothes, slippers, beyblades, craft kits.. what else could you want?!<br />
Now, don't get me wrong, Christmas is still great when you're older and start to realize that Christmas is about giving just as much as it is about receiving. I love putting together gifts for my friends and completing random acts of kindness - anything to make someone smile.<br />
But as you get older, you realize that you don't really need anything for Christmas. Because of how our society works, you pretty much already get whatever you want whenever you want it. Instant gratification, because that's what us Americans are about, right?!<br />
Being older, in my first year of college, and depending as most I can on only my money not my parents' money, buying gifts for Christmas gets harder. Also, I feel like last year was a dud. I got ten of my closest friends a little piece of jewelry each, which, by itself doesn't cost that much, but after you buy for ten people....<br />
I couldn't see them that day so I dropped it off at the location they were all at - wrapped and everything - and no one, not one of them, said thank you. I'd like to think that maybe somehow the gifts didn't get to them.. but that's very unlikely. I don't know what happened but it really discouraged me this year when buying presents. I spent all the time in the world personalizing those gifts for them and taking forever to chose between necklaces, bracelets, rings -- sizes, colors, etc...<br />
Anywho. Getting off track.<br />
Now let's get to this Christmas.<br />
I started feeling sick about 3 days ago. I got a cough but didn't think much of it. Two nights ago I tossed and turned ALL DAMN NIGHT and didn't get a wink of sleep. My mom finally gave me pain medicine at 7:30 or 8 in the morning, and I napped the whole day through. If you know anything about me, you know that my least favorite thing is being productive. But it's not like I would have been able to do anything - I had a pinging headache and fever all day and night. So that was that. The day before Christmas Eve wasted but whatever - it's just one day. Yesterday my mom took me to the doctor (which I find almost pointless because they never do anything, anyway) and he told me to take medicine and drink tea. Thanks, doc, nothing I would have done on my own -_- but my mom made a point, at least he made sure I didn't have strep throat, otherwise he would have given me antibiotics. Then he gave me a recipe for a special type of tea I'm supposed to make and drink three times a day. My mom made it! For herself. I STRONGLY dislike when she does that. Mom, you're not the one who's sick! If you're going to make some for yourself, at least make some for me, who it was intended for /: grrrr. Then that night I had to go to a family dinner at my grandma's house and listen to how "all of us were raised atheist so this is just a time for thanks" as I sit next to her housekeeper who's wearing a crucifix. Did I mention her housekeeper, my little brother and myself were sitting at the kid's table with 5 kids from ages 4-10? The last thing I wanted to do with my headache. And I felt so bad for her housekeeper - WHAT THE HELL?! It sucks enough for me to be at the kids table but her? Really? Wow. Just wow.<br />
Then last night I had my dad take me to CVS so we could get NyQuil because that's THE LAST thing my mom will get me. C'mon mom, I didn't sleep for 5 seconds yesterday and you'll give me your pain medication.. but not the stuff in the isles at CVS... anyway. Took that. Didn't knock out "right away" but I eventually did fall asleep which was awesome :D ... until I had a dream about peeing in my bed and actually peed in my bed... at 5.. and couldn't fall back asleep /:<br />
Then brunch this morning with my parents. My mom was being immature as usual and walking in the street to avoid walking on the sidewalk next to my dad.. really? Then when we were eating, I'm generally the one to keep the conversation flowing but I just didn't feel like it today because my head was hurting too much (woke up with a 101.4 fever). So THAT was awkwardly silent.. of course.<br />
Then we went to my grandparents' house where my kindergarten and first grade age cousins got ipads for christmas. And I got shampoo and conditioner. Not that I'm complaining - I really didn't need anything this year. But seriously. What are they going to do with iPads?!<br />
Then we went back home and my mom had me take my sheets off my top bunk bed because, of all the things I do for her, she can't help me out when I'm sick and have a huge headache. So after doing that, I decided to write this Grinch-like post about how great these past few days have been.<br />
So now that you know my whole life story... I'm going to nap now because this screen isn't helping my head at all. Sorry this blog isn't thorough and I'm sure it's plentiful with grammatical errors and details, but I can't think right now. Just needed to get that off my mind.<br />
Sorry for the pessimism, but I'm a growing girl growing in my experiences and realizing Christmas can't always be perfect. </div>

I used to think I didn't have any pet peeves.<br />
And then I realized how much little things can annoy me.<br />
So here's to being pessimistic and writing about the things that annoy me! Yay!<br />
I only think of these things as they come up, so they'll probably be just as sporadic as my blog posts.. ahhh I know I'm awful about keeping up with posts, sorry about that/: So let's get started!<br />
<br />
Pet Peeve Number One: Oral Hygiene. Rather, lack thereof.<br />
Let me start by explaining my oral hygiene routine to you.<br />
Wake up in the morning.<br />
First thing I do is brush my teeth/retainer. <br />
Morning breath already sucks so much butt, but retainer morning breath sucks even more. <br />
Then I brush my tongue. Most germs populate on your tongue and that's where most of the bad smell comes from. Mostly, I brush my teeth to get rid of plaque and I brush my tongue to get rid of the smell. Of course there's more too it, but that's a nice, easy way of putting it.<br />
<br />
Next. Randomly during the day.<br />
Sometimes I'll brush my teeth midday. Mostly I brush my teeth during the day if I have something coming up where I have to talk to someone up close and personal. I have a fear of having bad breath and talking to someone and them having to smell my bad breath.<br />
Eeeep. I'm already getting into why this is my pet peeve. Bad Rebecca. Back to my routine.<br />
<br />
Before I go to bed, I floss my teeth. For some time now I've been using flossers. They're pretty convenient and they sell them at the 99 cents store. Yaaay cheapness! I also just think they're easier to use than normal floss. Normal floss is so 2000-laaaaate. Then I brush my teeth and tongue. Love me some tongue brushing. Then I wear my retainer. Some times. I should wear it all the time, but I don't. Just when I feel like it. Or when my mouth isn't cut up from unknown causes. Actually, now that I think about it, it's my retainer that cuts my mouth up. Which is why I don't wear it too often. Just when I feel my teeth are to the point where they're gunna start going cray if I don't retain them.<br />
<br />
NOW TO WHY ORAL HYGIENE IS MY PET PEEVE.<br />
<br />
Okay so.. this is actually kind of a depressing story. But at least it got me to change my ways.<br />
Let me take you back to 7th grade. I was one of those kids who hated brushing their teeth. I thought it was kind of pointless. As far as I could see, I didn't have any cavities, so all was good. And when I ate my cereal in the morning, I couldn't taste my morning breath afterward. Just the Cinnamon Life Cereal taste remained in my mouth.<br />
Or at least, that's what I thought.<br />
Now let's go to school. <br />
English class with Ms. A. <br />
I still remember exactly where I was sitting when my friend Violet told me straight to my face that my breath smelled and that I should chew on some gum if I had any. I didn't. So the rest of that day was torturous. I think it's probably safe to say that I was scared for the rest of my life. <br />
And now, I'm addicted to gum and good hygiene.. which I can't say is a bad thing.<br />
I love gum. Not even because it can make your breath smell better.<br />
... Okay that was a lie. I chew gum a lot to ensure the freshest of breath.<br />
I also just love chewing gum. And drinking water, which, helps neutralize your breath when it smells bad. Fun fact! So if your breath smells awful and you don't have gum, try to drink lots of water and it could help a little bit. But if you're breath smells really bad, just brush your damn teeth. And your tongue. Never forget to brush your tongue.<br />
<br />
I think that just might be the reason why a lot of people have breath issues. I don't think everyone knows or realizes that your tongue contributes to the smelliness of your mouth. By a lot.<br />
<br />
So even if you've brushed your tongue, that probably won't be good enough for me. BRUSH YOUR DAMN TONGUE.<br />
<br />
And floss your damn teeth. And when you brush them, actually spend enough time brushing them. Don't leave yellow plaque on your teeth. *cringes*. And brush your gum line to prevent inflammation. I had braces for 7 years, so I know a thing or two about inflamed gums. I also know how much it sucks to not be able to floss easily or brush your teeth well. So now that I don't have braces, flossing and brushing are my favorite things to do! Well maybe not my FAVORITE things to do.. but it's pretty far up there on my "things I love to do" list. Not that I have one.. cuz I actually don't.. awk.. anyway...<br />
<br />
I just got super distracted and got up to get some water and came back and now my train of thought is gone. Which is probably fine because, for being a rant on oral hygiene, this is already way too long. And I was probably about to add a lot more. But I think I'm good for now. I got out what I need to say.<br />
So remember, brush your teeth twice and day and remember to floss! And most importantly.. you tongue. Brush it.<br />
And now I'm not sure how to end this post because I'm so frazzled from getting up to get water.<br />
So I'm going to end it really poorly by saying kaythanksbye with a bunch of explanation marks. <br />
Kaythanksbye!!<br />

Alright so I've really missed my blog and I'm super excited to start writing again :D<br />
<br />
I've been in college for about a month now and these are definitely the times I'm going to remember.<br />
<br />
Cliche, but college is everything I expected it would be... and more.<br />
My very first night here, I went THE most stereotypical college party. It was pretty much all upperclassmen. My friends and I walked there in the cold, so we were all bundled up in warm clothes. When we stepped inside, it was hot as Hades. Girls were wearing nothing and we were covered head to toe - it was quite funny. Walking through the off-campus house to get to the backyard was pretty impossible and took about 10 minutes to walk the 20 feets worth of crammed together people. After a short while, the majority of my friends left, but I stayed with two of my friends. Eventually the party got busted, so we had to go home... and for some reason, the new group of about 6 people I was with decided that we should be running from the cops... although I'm still not sure why.. the cops didn't care at all - they just wanted us to go home. So my friends and I run around a tennis court back and forth from a cop car for a good amount of time until we finally get away without the cops seeing us - it was quite hilarious since.. well.. I never really take anything seriously. I didn't really care that we could have gotten in trouble since I really didn't think we would - it was just a fun adrenaline rush. <br />
So that was my day one...<br />
The majority of my days now are spent with an awesome group of friends that I've made. We go to the sponsored events, watch movies late at night, make 7/11 and taco bell runs at night, share funny youtube videos like gangnam style... it's just my bucket of fun.<br />
I wish I'd kept a journal for the first week - at least - since there was so much going on. I have the worst memory so I can't recall everything ): Which is why I'm going to try to blog AT LEAST once a week now. Hopefully maybe even every day, if not just for five minutes. Most my posts are going to be like this - posting about my day and randomness. So if you're ever bored and have absolutely nothing to do.. read my posts and you'll probably be pretty entertained if my days keep going like they are.<br />
I also have a possibly "love" interest now, so you get to read all my inner thoughts about relationships yaaayy! ... I'll try not to be too pessimistic (:<br />
Alright well that's it for now. More to come :D<br />
<br />
Here's a song for the day:<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcT_jNzUhCs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcT_jNzUhCs</a></div>

I was accepted into the college I want to go to<br />
for a major in Business.<br />
Because, at the time, I didn't know what I wanted to do.<br />
And business seemed like a safe place to start.<br />
So that's how I applied to colleges.<br />
With a business major.<br />
<br />Later on,<br />
I realize that I really want to be a teacher.<br />
For little kids.<br />
Especially those with learning disabilities/those who need special education.<br />
That what I want to do.<br />
<br />
And then I remembered,<br />
when I was younger, I aspired to be a cosmetologist. <br />
But that dream got ruined when I realized I'm not as good as other people at make up.<br />
And I don't have that many make-up brushes.<br />
And my hair bleaching skills aren't as good as I thought they were.<br />
So I gave up my dream.<br />
<br />
Then,<br />
art. Art is like perfection that threw up everywhere.<br />
There are so many options in art. You can be yourself in art.<br />
Everything is art. Even bad art is art. I wish I were good at art.<br />
Because then I'd do art.<br />
<br />
So today,<br />I took a career test.<br />
And I realized...<br />
All I really want to do,<br />
is cook. And bake. And chop and dice and ice and blanch and mince and roll and boil.<br />
I really want to be a chef. A pastry chef. A restaurant chef. A cake designer.<br />
God, I'd do anything to be a chef.<br />
And go to culinary school.<br />
But here I am.<br />
Stuck with business.<br />
I don't like business. <br />There are fifty things I like more than business.<br />
<br />
It's a good thing I'm young. </div>ЯebeccAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01180689169093757414noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370725642162490917.post-39210383049259383812012-05-28T23:57:00.001-07:002012-05-28T23:57:49.487-07:00Like, love<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I liked you when you held me.<br />
And then it started to seem like you liked me too,<br />
because you liked to hold me how I liked to be held. <br />
And then I got scared.<br />
I don't want you to hold me anymore.<br />
Because you might like me.<br />
And that's a scary thought. </div>ЯebeccAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01180689169093757414noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370725642162490917.post-82294315760108956562012-04-03T17:26:00.000-07:002012-04-03T17:26:04.868-07:00Hearts A Mess<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

You might never admit it, but...<br />

Even if only for a day or two,<br />
you now know EXACTLY how I felt this time last year.<br />

Luckily, I finally found them! Hopefully this will be helpful if you're also looking for the lyrics. <br />
This is an amazing song and it's my newest addiction. <br />
I hope you like it too.<br />

I love it when you're doing your thing<br />
You're pulling my heart on a string<br />
You're putting me on every day<br />
How you do it, I couldn't say<br />
<br />
But you know that I don't mind<br />
And I know well, you're not the cruel kind<br />
Hey, I don't mind, I don't mind<br />

<i>Raising money is never easy</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today, I learned what it’s like to try and raise money. Why am
I trying to raise money? I’m going to Tuscaloosa Alabama this spring vacation
with a few of my classmates and it costs each person $1,100 to participate.
Through <a href="http://www.habitat.org/cd/giving/lander/default.aspx?media=Google&source_code=DHQOQ1107W1GGR&keyword=web-keywords&gclid=CL2x7cLvzq4CFQcFRQodNxzPkQ&tgs=My80LzIwMTIgMTE6MDA6NDUgUE0%3d" target="_blank">Habitat for Humanity</a>, we are going to be helping those who suffered the effects of the natural disasters
that have been happening there recently by building homes. In an effort to
lower this cost, we are trying to fundraise money for the trip. Our first
effort to raise money was a jog-a-thon. We asked for people to sponsor us while
we ran laps for an hour straight. However, I don’t really like asking people
for their money, so I only got two sponsors – my grandpa and my aunt. Some of
my friends said that they would sponsor me, but none of them actually did,
which is fine. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So anyway, today we stood outside of Whole Foods with an
informational booth explaining our mission. We also passed out flyers with
information regarding our trip, earthquake preparedness fliers, and a flyer
saying that if you go to California Pizza Kitchen (with the flier) on March 12<sup>th</sup>,
20% of your purchase will go to the funding of our trip. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There were lots of people who walked right by us when we
tried to talk to them, pretending like we weren’t even there. There were also
those who politely said “No, thank you” and walked on… along with those who
said it not-so-politely. However, we did get a few people to donate which made
us feel accomplished. And for those who didn’t have the time or money to
donate, we gave them our fliers (if they didn’t turn them down). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This experience of trying to represent our cause helped me
to understand what it’s like to stand outside a store for a few hours, trying
to get people’s attention. Usually if I see people in front of a store, and I’m
with my parents, I just walk away because I know my parents don’t like me “talking
to strangers”. However, when I’m by myself or with friends, I do make an effort
to talk to these people. They’re putting their time and effort into informing
the public and asking for donations, so I feel it’s nice to give them my time
as well. </div>

The most entertaining part was to see how people react when
someone is trying to talk to them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Sometimes I wish for falling<br />
Wish for the release<br />
Wish for falling through the air<br />
To give me some relief<br />
Because falling's not the problem<br />
When I'm falling I'm in peace<br />
It's only when I hit the ground<br />
It causes all the grief<br />
<br />

There's no blog I could write.<br />
No cleverly coded Facebook status, <br />
no song lyrics,<br />
... nothing...<br />
that would make me feel as if I've gotten my point across to you.<br />
Just the chance that you'd see it.<br />
Read it.<br />
Think about it.<br />
Think about me.<br />
...<br />
I don't know why I do this to myself.<br />
I try to push aside my feelings. But they're always there.<br />
...<br />
I'm usually well put together,<br />
but every once in a while I break.<br />
And I do what I shouldn't do.<br />
I text you. Or I write to you. Or I visit you.<br />
And it kills me to know that nothing will ever be the same. <br />
<br />

People are most vulnerable when they're sleeping. <br />
It's a time when your body slows down. Your muscles get turned off and you become immobile. <br />
It would be real easy for someone to hurt you. <br />
That's why sleeping with someone is a huge act of trust for both parties.<br />
And no,<br />
not sleeping with someone as in sex.<br />
Sleeping with someone as in sharing the same bed.<br />
Whether it be a friend or a lover. <br />
Staying warm under the covers together. Talking about anything. Laughing. Smiling. Cuddling. <br />
In the case of people like me, being blind because you took your glasses off, but feeling free of judgement by the other person.<br />
They're the last thing you see before you go to sleep.. and the first thing you see when you wake up.. next to them. </div>ЯebeccAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01180689169093757414noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2370725642162490917.post-45687433588728928582011-12-15T22:58:00.000-08:002011-12-15T22:58:04.936-08:00Crying fit<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I'm not crying over you.<br />
I'm crying over me.<br />
I bring these problems upon myself. <br />
<br />
I always make the excuse that you hate me. <br />And that I can't be loved by you.<br />
<br />
When in reality,<br />
its not that.<br />
Its this:<br />
I hate <i>myself</i>.<br />
And I don't love <i>myself</i>. <br />
<br />
My internal problems with myself are causing me to think the world hates me...<br />
that none of my friends like me. <br />
<br />
To be honest,<br />
I don't feel like I'm mature enough for relationships with anyone right now.<br />
And no, that's not in the sense of romantic relationships.<br />
Human relationships in general. <br />
Why should my friends have to love me if <i>I</i> don't even love me?<br />
<br />
But at the same time,<br />
this is when I need friends the most..<br />
but I'm scared to say anything... <br />
<br />
