Fame to Reality

isn't it interesting to read blogs of famous people just writing about their lives like any other person. Sarah Dessen is one of my favorite authors and while i'm sitting her reading her blog, i feel like something isn't right. Sarah is explaining her everyday life...she's even talking about how she ahs to hurry because seh has to go make a salad! This makes me wonder, is she talking about her everyday life to make her fans feel like they know her personally or is this an advertising mechanism?

Accept.

I know it's been a while but I got caught up in life and didn't get a chance to slow down.


I've been working on this paper and it's on a virtual community...well.. this virtual community has actually become a hobby of mine. I enjoy reading it because it makes me feel better about my life... i mean worse about something but mostly it's a positive thing for me.
you're probably like what the heck is she talking about...well here it is: PrettyThin

i've learned that it's not proanorexia but it accepts those who are anorexic or bulimic and allows them to openly discuss basically anything they want including methods, diets, etc.

while i enjoy reading it because it makes me happy with my life and thankful that i dont have to worry about either of those eating disorders (yes, it sucks that they're probably alot tinier than me but i accept that), the bigger question is why are so many people against virtual communities like this?

is it because they thing it's hindering recovery?
if their eating disorders are part of who they are, they're never going to happy in their own skin (quite frankly...most people never are) so why do people try and force them into recovery? they clearly don't want to recover.

The eating disorder is in their eyes because they can never see themselves as beautiful...but why can't they? why can they not accept themselves for the way they are? and why do they believe that seeing bones are beautiful?

Just do it.

today, while i was helping plan a hunger banquet, i rediscovered this website that is welll awesomeee!!

my question for today: why have i not been blessed with any ingenious ideas, such as this one, that will help the world!

its me again

Following along with the previous post i must say that through this experience, along with the other obstacles presented with a military institution, I've learned that its the people that you love the most and love you that are what get you through the lowest of lows. 

 

The main author of this blog, my girlfriend of more than 4 years, is the most amazing person i know. She has been everything to me. While i was going through my parents messy divorce 3 years ago, she was the one who held me up when i was ready to tap out. She gave me the reassurance that someone would always be there for me and that if i ever needed anything that i could call her. While many people say this, the difference between her and most people is that she meant it. When I would call at the most random times of day she would drop whatever she as doing and do everything in her power to help me. She brought me into her house many times when i simply needed to get away and without her i may not have made it through as well as i did. 

She started out as my best friend, and she always will be. But in the past 4 years she has ben everything to me. She has been my counselor, my mentor, my friend, someone to slap me in the face when i needed it, my girlfriend, my teacher, and most of all she has been my biggest supporter that has shown me more love and commitment than anyone else in my life. She is the most amazing person i know and has been one of the biggest parts of my life. 

Well i could ramble all day about how i feel about Prina but i doubt people want to hear that. I just thought that people should know just how amazing a person Prina is and the things that she does that no one knows about because that is what truly defines her. To anyone who reads this, Prina is an incredible person with some great thoughts to share so read them carefully for what the meaning beneath is. To you babe, you mean the most to me and i love you.

The Boyfriend Speaking Here

Well most people think that the life of an athlete is all pampered and fancy. Well im here to tell you its not!

Not sure how many baseball fans are out there but i play division 1 college baseball. My team has just cracked the top 25 on one poll and we have the chance to be great, and while most people think this is amazing and fun just think about all the work that goes into it. For the past seven months my team and I have done nothing but get ready for the most grueling 3 months of our lives. We worked harder than most people in the world can understand, 6 days a week every week for 7 months. This would all be fine and dandy if when the season started things got easier, but they don't. If anything they just get longer, tougher and more tiring that the previous seven months. The season means many hours cramped in a bus driving all over the south east united states trying to be the best that we can. It means staying in less than desirable hotels all the time and living out of a bag and a locker for 3 months all while trying to keep up with the academics and needing greater than a 3.0 gpa to keep my academic money. This is no easy task. It means no spring break, no time to go home to the family or your wonderful girlfriend. It means sleeping on a bus and waking up stiff and tired because you slept wrong.

Many people would then ask the logical question: why? Well unless you have played this wonderful game its really impossible to explain. Theres something that keeps you going, something that pushes you through those red eye flights from Hawaii to Charlotte, something that gives you the strength to be better than you thought you could and do more than you thought you could.

Its called the love of the game

when you have it you cant get rid of it and even when you try it somehow guides you back to the game and your right back doing what you know you enjoy doing.

Advise me. NOT.

This weekend my boyfriends daddy gave me relationship advice for like a solid hour...atleast. And today i was thinking about all of it and you know picking out the parts i like and laughing at the ridiculous parts and then i tried to remember how i had for his advice...oh guess what. I DIDNT! i may not be the greatest at thsis whole love thing but really? so why do people offer advice especially if you dont really ask for it? i mean sometimes its a good thing to hear different sides and opinions, but all in all, most decisions are personal decisions so why do they even bother? Do you think there are people out there that think their calling in life is to give advice? because i do believe that everyone has a calling in life...but really, giving advice? what if they someone thinks that their calling and really its not but they continue to give shitty advice. bahaha that kinda makes me chuckle because i would HATE to be a part of that persons life.

so i was trying to think of random questions today and i couldnt..so i asked the boy for some inspiration and he said: "the cow jumped over the moon". like really...a nursery rhyme is not inspiration...



unless you're me.
so what if a cow really jumped over the moon (ofcourse with a few scientific enhancements and maybe a very very springy trampoline?)....would that mean that scientists would have to make all nursery rhyme images real or that authors would have to write brand new nursery rhymes? would baby mobiles begin to get like scientific?? ooo would that make babies smarter? eh i doubt it.

and no boyfriend. green tea is not an inpiration.

Oh.

this weekend i had some girlfriend duties to fulfill. by that i mean, i spent almost all weekend with the boyfriends parents, brother, and stepsister at some baseball games. his parents are divorced and well... that makes these situations rather interesting. we try and laugh about it, but sometimes it's not too funny. Well, a baseball game with this family is never boring and i got to hear the he said she said from both the parents. it was a great experience let me tell you! Usually i really feed into their conversations because, lets be honest, i find it utterly hilarious. But this weekend, it was a little different. As i was listening to what the dad did to the mom and vice versa from each of them, i realized that even after almost 4 and half years of dating the same boy, this could happen to us. It was at that moment that i decided that i hate making decisions. Like getting married, how on earth will i ever decide if it's the right person? how do i know i'm making the right decision? i never want to put my children through what they put their children through. I don't want my poor decisions to alter their lives! now let's think about this, the decisions i make today are going to affect my unborn babies! that's so much pressure on just one person!

I guess that's why its called a decision...because you're accepting all the repercussions that you arent even aware of.

question of the day:
why did someone invent clothes that covered certain areas of our body?
