Random thought of the day

Through facebook accidental findings/semi-stalking I have realized that almost every guy I didn't want to date in high school is now dating a very pretty girl. Guess that's a good thing? :)

Lingerie shopping = bad bad bad

Newest lesson I learned about myself and love:

When I am buying lingerie, it means I really like a boy, who makes me feel insecure about whether or not he really likes me.





Next time any of you get wind of me thinking of buying lingerie, tell me to STOP, drop the lingerie, and advance to the nearest bar where I have to buy a random guy a beer for $4. Do not allow me to pass go. Do not let me collect $200 (or, spend $200...).

The Forehead Kiss

As I was telling my friend Sam, I spent all day googling "What do forehead kisses mean" because a certain guy a friend of mine thinks is in love with me was dancing with me while giving me a lot of kisses on the forehead and the cheeks. I assumed the way he treated me was the way he treated any other friend and the way that anyone treated their platonic friend of 6 years.

Google yielded the following:

Apparently it means anything from

I'm madly in love with you

to

I am very fond of you

to

I see you as a good friend

So, as you can see, I am as confused as ever, except that I know that said boy does care for me.

I thought back to my own life and realized that the only people who have done that (there haven't been many) were either boyfriends or ex-boyfriends.


What do you guys think? What is the meaning behind the elusive kiss on the forehead?

10 Things Your Man Never Needs to know

Cosmo "list". Funny. Relevant. Defines Need to Know.

1. The number of guys you slept with. (Really wish I knew this rule one year ago)

2. What happened that time you got food poisoning (grosss but hehe)

3. Where you learned your signature sex move.

4. That no matter how happy you are, you still pine for your ex—especially sexually. (Well, that's just f-ing awkward)

5. Mustache bleaching (not to mention what happens when your bikini waxer takes a long vacay)
Good rule to know...

6. That every once in a while you snoop around his e-mail, call log and/or browser history—just to see what he really thinks of you.
Too girly stalker for me to ever try

7. Your best sex—unless, of course, it was with him.
But what if he keeps asking about it....I'm such a bad liar.

8. That “Braceface” was the nicest of the nicknames you had in elementary school.
Yup, would totally tell the man of my dreams that.

9. Just how hot you think his friend is. Nothing good can come of his worrying that you’re seeing his best bud’s face in bed and not his.
GREAT rule to know. Good thing I don't date men with friends I find more attractive. Either they're hot or they have ugly friends. It works out though

10. That you once hooked up with your best guy friend.
Really?! That's something we can hide from our boyfriends. No. Way.

Shopping, continued...

Favorite cult sleepwear set:

Honeydew's Mesh Camisole and Boyshort Set

Boyshorts are also my new favorite type of underwear. Comfortable and sexy without trying too hard. I just had to dig up this set in order to buy for a non-special occasion with someone I am not intimate with. Yeah, don't ask.

Spring SpLuRe

Just dropped a lot of dough on this baby from Guess. It's sooooo pretty though.....

















Trends I love:


1. Plain t-shirts: who KNEW that one day t-shirts would make a fabulous come-back? I'm certainly enjoying the tee with sexy blazer on top look. Comfy, washable, but unforgiving on body flaws-- which is why I'm still shopping for my perfect white tee

2. Blazer and other menswear: I have owned the male-esque, unfitted and long blazer since early high school (when even a semblance of fashionable style was accidental) and always had a soft-spot for menswear

3. Sequins and embellishments: quoting my best friend: "It seems like you were getting ready for this to come back into style for a while now". Yes, I love and have always loved sequins and embellishments, and now I can buy it without looking like a
pre-teen shopping at Wet Seal.
If you want to try sequins without going outside your fashion comfort zone, I recommend a pretty pastel colored or metallic sequin tank to be worn with a classy cardigan or long sweater

4. Big bold flower jewelry: classy, gorgeous, and dresses up any t-shirt or shirt dress instantaneously. Easy addition to any outfit for those fashion-handicapped like me.

5. Business Professionals recently got some love from Fashion Week

According to a WSJ article "Fashion's New Muse: The CEO": "In Milan, Gucci, Jil Sander, Etro, Marni, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Bottega Veneta and Aquilano Rimondi all showed elegant, classic versions of women's suits—tailored jackets with either pants or skirts to match."
"Linda Fargo, Bergdorf Goodman's fashion director, said she welcomes the "return to classic tailoring." What followed at Gucci was a lot of matching gray suiting—tailored jackets and long pants—and an emphasis on texture and luxury fabrics."

Dear designers, thank you for finally noticing that along with movie stars, trophy wives, and socialites, and sheiks, the only other people who can afford your clothing are suit-wearing, paycheck earning women in business.


I'm in a shopping mode, which clearly means something is bugging me. Right now, it's trying to figure out how to tell my parents that I want to move to New Orleans for a few months. My mom has her happiness somehow wrapped up in me being close by, which is cute, and understandable, but it makes leaving very hard when I do come home. That means either I stay away for a while or just deal with breaking my parents' heart anytime I want to go anywhere.

Yeah, no easy decision there.

So, I'll just shoe and jewelry shop instead :)

Morning Person or Night Owl?

Excerpt from a WSJ article:

Night owls are more creative, more flexible and more caffeinated, studies have found. Morning people are healthier, more conscientious and more emotionally stable. They're not as much fun at parties, but morning people run the world, and at least part of me aspires to be a morning person.

Cancun

I just got back from 4 nights in Cancun with the family.

Highlights:

Worst Pickup Line from Cancun:
Douchey Guy: "I go to Law School....at Seton Hall"
Me: wonders why I judge men instantly by the caliber of their law school but choosing to ignore that and give him a chance "Oh, they have a good basketball program, right"
Douchey Guy: Ignores my question "I'm going to be very rich."

Seton Hall is a third-tier law school. He won't be making that much money. He has no knowledge of college basketball. And he feels the need to use potential money he may be making in a recession year as a pickup line. Oh, and as BChan pointed out, he's from New Jersey.


Best Pickup Line from Cancun:
Guy: "You are gorgeous"

Did I mention this was in a British accent and made me giggle like a 16 year old girl?! He was hot. He kept telling me that he was from Pennsylvania and I drunkenly kept arguing with him that he couldn't be from Pennsylvania, not with that accent. After lots of drunk arguing back and forth it turned out that, yes, he WAS from Pennsylvania but studying at Penn State there, and the number he gave me did not require a 1 before dialing, or two 1s before dialing, because it was a Pennsylvania number, NOT a Mexico number. I'm fairly sure he got me to memorize his number while completely intoxicated. No phone. No pen or paper.

Grey's Anatomy's back to its raunchy roots

Quote of the moment:

Meredith to her little sis:

Lil Sis: "It's just sex. There are no feelings involved."
Mer: "Riiiight, because you are a no feelings kinda girl. Your heart lives in your vagina".






I think both I and most of my readership knows exactly what that means.

Happy Spring Break Chicas.

Random Musings

1. The Hangover is one of those movies you end up watching with people who's company you really enjoy - I didn't watch it until my last weekend in MN. But then saw it once in New Orleans and once more in Northern VA. Trish, save that Hangover v-card for a relaxing Sunday with your bffs.

2. What I lack in a [fantastic] body I make up for with energy and my smile. (Packing for Cancun right now).

3. I will be spending the next 5 days at a 5 star all-inclusive resort in Cancun with my family. O the perks of unemployment

4. "I gotta feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas can put me in a party/happy mood no matter where I am or what I am doing. But especially great for trip-pregames.

5. "Will you be my LinkedIn contact" is the new "Will you be my facebook friend?"

6. I was talking to my friend Zero about potential certifications I can pick up or more graduate schools I can go to in order to make myself more marketable.
He told me to approach jobs like I would with a guy I really like.
My answer: "Either get really drunk or stay sober and just act REALLY awkward around them?"
His answer: "Be confident, Do your research, and never let the ugly girl win."
Me: "Oh. I like your way better."
