I'll Tell You All My Secrets If You Stick Around

Hey there!

Well, I have survived my first few days of classes...shouldn't there be a shirt for that? No, I'm only kidding - but, so far, they are pretty good. The first day in my biology class, the guy sitting next to me asked me for my digits - it's weird because my nose was running like a waterfall and everything! Don't worry, I discretely wiped my nose before giving him my number. Yes, I'm very lady-like. Oh boy, it was so funny because on Tuesday, our second day of biology class for those who are over there keeping count, he ran down to the isle I was sitting with my eyes basically closed and said, "Hey Haley!" Keep in mind that it was a little bit before 9:30 in the morning, so as you can probably guess, he scared the heebie jeebies out of me! I quickly jumped in my seat and said, "WHOAH! Hey man, I'm doing good. How are you?" If I would've had my rape whistle, I most likely would've blown it - FYI. Then he started talking to me about how it seemed like my cold was going away. I'm not going to lie - I was taken aback by the fact that he noticed I even had a cold. Do guys usually do that or something? Oh well! Anyways, moving right along - in my math and Human Development classes, my teachers basically cracked jokes the whole time - they're actually pretty funny, too! My math teacher has that attitude like shes experienced it all. Now, I'm not saying that she has done drugs and junk...but I am saying that there is a possibility.

So, like I said on the last blog, I've got butt-tons to say, but I'm struggling to find the right words to help me say it. I'm just gonna go ahead and say it - I blame it on math. "YEAH MATH - YOU'RE RUINING MY LIFE!"***super funny story to add to this later on. Anyways, I wrote something else on the 20th of December while I was slaving away at work. (For those of you who can't read my sarcasm - I sat on my butt from 8-5 two days in a row.) Latey, I've been reading a lot of Chelsea Handler books. I don't know how to explain it other than saying...she's addicting. Kinda like Lays potato chips - can't eat just one...well, actually you can, but I've heard it's a painful experience. I really do try to watch her show whenever I think about it, though - I'm sorry, Chelsea. It's been a while. - Anyways, I had so much spare time at work that I have actually begun and finished reading Lies That Chelsea Told Us. I started this whole "Chelsea escapade" during the summer while I was lifeguarding. It took until the very end of 2011 to realize how amazing she is. I might even say that she is basically my idol. I mean, she isn't really "idol-worthy"...so hence the word might. But look at her! She has more confidence than any celebrity I've ever known! Now, that says something because I'm sure we all remember when Lady Gaga wore that meat dress to an award show a few years back. That takes a lot of confidence and a lot of alcohol. Oh, and this is the best part...she has such a wonderful lingo! No, I am not talking about the rainbow of cusswords she dishes out. I am talking about the words she basically invents, like the word "peekachu". I am probably not allowed to say what she uses that for, but lets just say is has to do with a lady. It's so great! While my roomies and I are all out and about, I can say, "Oh goodness - that girls peekachu is about to say hello" and they all know exactly what I'm talking about. Try saying it..."peekachu." Gah, it just rolls off the end of your tongue doesn't it? I think my favorite part about her is the fact that she is so honest - on her t.v. show and in her books. It's like she's thinking, "I don't care about what these people think of me. They're just jealous of how completely honest I am." She is kinda similar to Taylor Swift, too (don't tell her I said that). She will talk smack about a guy and say his entire name like it doesn't even matter if he is watching her show at the moment. Now, I don't ever want to be that honest...that's just asking for trouble. But I can bet on my life that she isn't sitting up at night worrying about some ex-boyfriend and why things didn't work out...or worried about some stupid girl and why she said the things she said that day. The day I can finally say I am like that is a special day that I will mark down in the books. Speaking of books...SHE'S A DANG WRITER! That's another reason why she rocks my socks. Ugh...I am so jealous of that! That's okay, Chelsea. Be looking for me in a few years.

I just felt like I needed to add this for a visual effect. There is no way I would put raw meat that close to my peekachu!

***My story about math. Well, one day when I was really young, probably elementary school, I remember I was sitting on the couch watching something on the Disney Channel. I can't really remember which Disney movie it was, but I do remember the chalk board in the background. The board read "A+B=C". After reading that, I remember looking over at my mom, while in tears, and saying, "Mom...am I supposed to know what that means? I don't...I don't even know the answer to that! I am already in elementary school and I don't know to do that! MOM! I am going to fail at life! I can't do this...I am behind! What am I gonna do!?" I was crying so hard that I couldn't breathe...but I do remember my mom looking at me and just laughing! Wshoo, after my breakdown, I remember going into my bedroom and hugging my barbies and telling them how happy I was that had them for the rest of my life. Wshoo.

 "At some point during almost every romantic comedy, the female lead suddenly trips and falls, stumbling helplessly over something ridiculous like a leaf, and then some Matthew McConaughey type either whips around the corner just in the nick of time to save her or is clumsily pulled down along with her. That event predictably leads to the magical moment of their first kiss. Please. I fall ALL the time. You know who comes and gets me? The bouncer." - Chelsea Handler
Look at her. She's two scoops of crazy with a side of coo-coo-cachoo.
 

Well, tonight I am going to try to get in the bed before 3:30 am. Ugh - I hate it when I can't sleep. I am currently finishing the first season of One Tree Hill with Megan and Anna and searching for new hair styles...I wanna look rockin! ;) JUST WAIT!

I miss all of you guys. I hope 2012 has been treating you well and giving you new life experiences - I know it sure has me. I am very excited about what this year has to offer me. I started it out differently than I usually do. I don't have much to lose anymore...so here's to everything left to gain (EXCEPT WEIGHT)! :)

LOOK AT ME! I cannot believe I got to meet him! 2012 - You are so wonderful! :)


I am gonna close this with a quote someone use to say to me all the time. Sometimes, we all just need a little reminding. I hope everyone has a wonderful and SAFE week! Always remember: Stop, Drop, and Roll - that can get you out of almost anything.

"Don't ever let anyone put you as number two in their life, because you deserve to be number one."

I was playing back a thousand memories, baby
Thinkin' 'bout everythin' we've been through
Maybe I've been goin' back too much lately
When time stood still and I had you
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside
'Til I came out
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you're sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie you'd be here by now.
If This Was A Movie - Taylor Swift

Love Always,

Tell Me Once Again That You'll Love Me To The Death And Should I Die, You Swear That You Will Come For Me?

Well, long time no talk! It has been nearly a month since I have shared my "life story" with all of y'all ( been having any withdrawals?) As y'all may know, thoughts and stories that desperately need to be told are always running through my mind. I just want to give everyone a fair warning that all words and paragraphs and/or separate blogs after this one...well, lets just say that they will be a "jambalaya" mess. I actually wrote a lot of these "stories" down while I was being productive at work. Geeze...get excited, will yah?

December 20, 2011
Lately, I have been thinking about the type of man I should have in my life...I actually think this came about when I was discussing this with my roommate, Megan, after an emotional viewing of Dear John (don't worry, Will...she doesn't want you to change your career goals or anything :D). Well, I have come to the conclusion that I need to consider a guy in a uniform. Okay, okay. The fact that I saw the cutest guy alive (mental note for everyone: he was sportin' a full-on Army uniform and a big pearly-white smile) leaving the math lab the other day did help me see the light in this decision. Imagine our lives together, will you? We would officially meet at some random place, possibly a Smoothie King or something. He would accidentally bump into me, totally knocking my medium-sized berry punch smoothie with added energy to the ground. As I catch most of my amazing potion on my shirt, I can't help but watch the rest of it fall to the ground (to compare this feeling to something in your life, imagine having the most wonderful, most sought after thing you could possibly imagine. Then imagine, out of no where, it being taken out of your life in the blink of an eye. Yeah, that's a BIG bummer.) As I sit down on the floor, while holding back soft sobs, I desperately try to clean up the horrific berry-colored puddle on the ground. Suddenly, I notice another hand taking part in the same job mine was doing and I couldn't help but to pause. My eyes slowly travel north towards his face until both of ours meet at a fixed gaze. He was tall, dark, handsome...oh, and army strong. After helping me back up to my feet, he gathered my belongings off the ground and tried to place them back in my arms. I seemed to have lost the capability to grip anything at that particular moment in time, so the job wasn't as easy as it sounds. After I finally grabbed a hold of my things, he proceeded to introduce himself to me and apologize for the miraculous disaster. One date leads to another, and suddenly we are planning our wedding. (Don't worry, his proposal was definitely something like my dads*** since I said yes...more on that later.) As I walk down the isle in my long, white, flowing dress, I couldn't help but to think of the description Katherine Heigl had about her future hubby in the movie "27 Dresses". Yeap, my man fit her details perfectly. I look directly at him and notice that his eyes look more watery than usual (that is all I have ever wanted - a guy to look at me when I am wearing a long gown and just, I don't know, look like he just saw the most amazing thing. No, I do not want a dang "thumbs up"...If I see that, I will walk the other direction. Note to self: have something with thorns in my bouquet in case of an emergency like that.) A few years pass, and he comes and goes like the wind. One bright and sunny day, we find out that we have a child on the way. Nine months later, baby Landon makes his way into the world...just as his father gets shot and finds his way out. Wait...I don't like how this story is ending...fairy tales do exist! Okay, okay...time to reevaluate this shin-dig...or the man...but, he was so beautiful...and so fictional. Well, I don't know about all of y'all, but I was definitely picturing Taylor Lautner throughout that story. Anyways, my story may not go in that particular order...or with that particular type of guy...but after attending Passion this year in Atlanta, I have found that I don't really want or need a man in my life anytime soon. Like I said, Bonar is the only man in my life for now. But I just keep thinking...I bet an army man wont lie to me and say he has been soooooo busy when he is basically just sitting at his house or wait 8 or more days just to text me "ehhh" and inform me about his new love life. Yeah...that was just random examples and everything. On a different note, I saw a car tag today that said, "It takes a soldier to love a princess." I guess that is also why I am thinking this. I definitely think I am a princess...don't ruin my dreams, okay?
Man oh me. If this doesn't break your heart...I don't know what will. *Notice the wife outside her husbands hearse.*







**This is the story of how my father proposed to my mother...well, this is the way Tyler told me atleast.
         One sunny day, My mother was traveling to work. She lived in Mobile, Alabama, and worked at one of the major hospitals down there. On this particular sunny day, she was taking her usual route to work when suddenly she paid extra attention to the huge Regions Bank building. While focusing on the building, and of course traffic, she noticed there were words posted in the windows...words saying, "Will You Marry Me, Angela?" Now, out of the butt-loads of Angela's that live in Mobile, I don't know how she figured out that that was directed to her...but, as we all know, they ended up being married and lived happily together. Now Alysson or whoever reads this...if this story isn't accurate, I would very much like for you to tell me. I, of course, want to know the truth. I need to know what my future man needs to live up to. ;)

 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS SONG. Okay...please don't make me beg...I WILL THOUGH!
"I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile. So good to me, so right. And how you held me in your arms that September night...the first time you ever saw me cry. Maybe this is wishful thinking. Probably mindless dreaming. But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right. I'd go back in time and change it but I can't. So if the chain is on your door I understand...BUT IT'S TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE...IT'S TOO LATEEEE."

Wshoo...yes, now I am good. I have been wanting to get that out for a good hour now. OH, AND IF THOSE VIOLINS DIDN'T TICKLE YOUR HEART...we can't be friends anymore.

This is how Shelby and I feel


 
Yes! Be jealous - this is true dedication!


Okay, I know everyone probably feels jipped because this blog doesn't say much. Just know that I pinky promise I will make up for this. I wanted to keep the army paragraph in it's own little category and then, of course, Taylor Swift had to get involved. I have so much to tell you guys that I am struggling trying to get it out! Wshoo, well, I hope everyone has a blessed weekend!
  
Peace, Love and...HAPPINESS,
Haley
