where you lead, i will follow;

I feel like I either need a pet or a boyfriend to keep me occupied. All I've focused on is myself lately.. I mean, not in a vain way.. in a weird way. I find myself alone a lot more than I usually am. When I'm home all I want to do is be in my room & chill & watch tv shows online. And I like it. I like my alone time, which is weird, because I thrive on other people... idk. But I want a companion. And since a boyfriend isn't something that can just happen at the drop of a hat, I went in search of a pet.
I wanted a hedgehog originally, but the only place you can get them is from a breeder, and they're mofo expensive. Like $200. So uh.. no thanks. So then I hopped on craigslist and was looking for other low maintenance pets... and I ran across this bunny.
Now, if you know me, you know that I have always wanted a bunny. Like, always. And this one seemed PERFECT. It was rescued by this lady who recently lost her bunny she had for quite some time, and since this bunny reminds her of the one that died, she doesn't want to keep it. (From the emails this lady seems like a really sweet, loving pet owner.) Anyway, it is SO CUTE, it hops around the lady's house and doesn't chew on things, it COMES WHEN YOU CALL IT, and it has papilloma (in humans that's HPV (an STD) but obvs you can't get such a disease from a rabbit..) which doesn't require any extra care now, but if it gets worse it may in the future. ANYWAY I adore this bunny already and I really want it.
My only obstacle at this point is my lease. I need to find out what the pet fee is (or if there is one for a 'caged' animal even though it will only be caged like 35% of the time) and stuff like that. I am calling them tomorrow, fosho.

Please guys, if you think of it, pray that either I can get this bunny or that it can find the best home possible! It needs someone who will really care for it and is willing to deal with its potential health problems.

In other news, I've become re-addicted to The Gilmore Girls, and have decided to re-watch the entire series. I love that show because I LOVEE the Lorelai-Rory dynamic and Lauren Graham is just amazing. I have always wanted a Lorelai in my life. Its not that I want my mom to be like her, its I guess that I've always needed/wanted a big sister figure in my life. Someone older and wiser who would help me learn things without being a know it all about it, who I could trust with everything and who would eat junk food with me and watch movies with me all the time... Someone who I could call at 3am and they'd come right over with booze & chocolate & who would cuddle with me until I felt better. I've never had that, and to my own dismay I have looked for it in many of the wrong places. And much emotional trauma has resulted from this. ANYWAY, I love the Gilmores. LOVE them.
You know, I was watching this new talk show (called, appropriately, The Talk) over break and they were discussing their sister relationships. And I realized how much I would have loved having a big sister. I've never known what it feels like to be the young one who is looked out for.. I am always the older one who looks out for everyone else it seems. Anyway, that's my baggage..some of it that is. What's yours?

Oh, in other odd personal news, I've realized that I depend very little on my friends nowadays, and mostly just on myself. I hate asking people for help, so I just like.. get things taken care of on my own no matter what (even if I have to whine to my mom about it over the phone)... idk what that means for me. Its weird how I've kind of just.. let communication deplete with so many people. But I've gotten to the point where I just let go. I don't chase after people, so I will end up just kind of slipping away if I don't feel needed or wanted. I'm not close to very many people anymore. Its weird. I don't know what to think about it.

All the more reason to get a bunny.

This week is going to be very hectic and hellish and I will not get much of that alone time I've come to depend on so much.. guh.

i drink coffee like water and i still never know what to say;

I am in a mood. I am in a very moody mood, brought on by a plethora of random coincidences, such as work today was really hectic, and it will be the same way tomorrow; I am way behind on schoolwork and super worried about getting the classes I need for next semester. And everyone just seems to be SO DAMN HAPPY and I am just pissed and I feel like no one will understand what's really bothering me.

What's really bothering me is that I am having a self esteem crisis.
I honestly thought I was past this. I thought that after Stacy London taught me how to love myself, that I would be able to, and that it would last no matter what. But it is faltering now. I am back to like.. where I was when I was a child. I know who I am, but I hate what I see on the outside.
I feel fat and gross. I hate it. I hate trying on clothes and having to deal with it. I tried on dresses today and I didn't even want to look in the mirror.
I hate that you'll read this and want to help
I hate that my thoughts may break your heart
just stop reading this now.
I don't usually feel this way
in fact, I never feel this way.

I just needed to get this off my chest.

I wish Stacy London still accepted DMs on twitter..

its not meant to be like this;

1. Its weird. I feel like I don't really have many close friends anymore. Maybe its just because I'm so busy and I never get to see people... but I am just kind of floating through life right now with no one I can 100%, all the time rely on. I feel like I don't really have anyone to turn to. And I am more perplexed by that than distraught. Because just a couple months ago if you had asked me, I would have said that I have SO MANY best friends who I feel like I can always turn to... No I feel there are virtually none. I mean, you guys are going to read this and get all concerned. But please don't. I think its just me being busy and people getting closer to other people... out of sight out of mind perhaps. This is a weird feeling though. I have never felt like this before. Kind of like the only one (besides God of course and my parents) who is always going to be here for me, is me. Hm.

2. I went to a necklace sale at Charlotte Russe yesterday with Sarai and bought four sper cute necklaces. I luhh dem.

3. Lots of times I decide I am a fatass and I set dieting/working out goals for myself and stuff.. and then like two days later I decide that I really like to eat and I am confident in myself and don't need to be bothered with setting crazy expectations. And then I eat a sandwich.

4. The nights when I want nothing more than to go to bed early are ALWAYS the nights I have the most work to do.

5. I want to go to an Ashram in India.. and also I want to go to Italy and learn how to properly do nothing.. aka without having the internet in front of me all the time..and eat a LOT.

though scattered & divided, we are still its heart;

So I just found out that the class I skipped on Friday to sleep in DIDN'T EVEN HAPPEN. Ohhhh how I win at life.

Also, I just want to say that I know who I am. I am happy with life. And I am extremely proud of the thought/reality that Stacy London knows who I am, and was happy to see me the other day. That means more to me than anyone probably realizes. Even though that probably sounds really vain.

And there is more I need to say, but this whole daylight savings thing is throwing me off and I feel like its bedtime now. lol

these streets will make you feel brand new;

I can't stop staring at the picture from yesterday of me & Stace. Is that weird and/or completely shallow?!

She's just so damn cool.
I love herrrrr.
Gah.

How about I move to NYC now and somehow become a personal stylist and Stacy and I can become bffs for REAL.

That would be nice.

no i mean it really shut up really;

What a glorious day it was today.
I skipped my 8am class, which was probably a dumb decision, but sleeping was really feeling good and I just could not bear to get up.
So I got up at like 9:40, showered, and then Sarai came over and we got ready (after she COVERED my room in outfit options) and we picked out a cute outfit for her and I stole one of her cute shirts (THAT ACTUALLY FITS ME REALLY WELL) and we were off to the Tanger Outlets!
All was well, until we got to about half a mile BEFORE the exit off 40, and then realized there was a line of cars sitting on the side of the highway to get off the exit. It was ridic. We sat there in traffing jamming to Pink & Taio Cruz and stuff and tweeted at Stacy a LOT and then after about 40 minutes of sitting there, we finally made it out of the line and off the highway... and then I had to park IN A DITCH and then we had to walk like 3 blocks to get to the mall.. gah. lol. SO we got there, and went to this tent where we assumed Stacy was, and YES SHE WAS THERE.. A boring middle aged man had to talk about the outlets and stuff and then there was some more talking and then Stacy got to talk and then they exploded some confetti & such.. and then Sarai and I had to lurk about while Stacy talked to some important people onstage... and of course we crept up to the front of the tent/room and then as Stacy walked off the stage I tapped her and she turned around and was like "Kelley! You're here! I'm so glad you came!" And I was like "Of course I came- I HAD to!!" and then I introduced her to Sarai and we chatted for a moment and Stacy said that I looked gorgeous... :DD (AND Stacy explained to Mr. Tanger himsef, "This is one of my twitter girls! Kel & I go way back."), and then Stacy had to go do an interview but she said to stay put. So we did, and then she returned to us and asked if we were going to come see her "later this afternoon" and I said YES OF COURSE I HOPE and we discussed where she was going to be and such, and then we peaced out and Stace had to go to this VIP lunch thing. So Sarai and I were totes starving so we decided to go find food. HOWEVER, on our way to finding food, we found the line to meet Stacy which was already really long (40 minutes before the meet & greet), so Sarai went off to buy giant pretzels and I saved the spot in line.
Sarai returned with FOUR giant pretzels- a pizza one, an original, a cinnamon sugar and a jalepeno- and we ate them immediately, at lightning speed.
We waited in the line, and finally we got up there to see Stacy. She was signing SUPER cute headshots for everyone and when we got to the front of the line Stacy was VERY confused by how to spell the name "Sarai with an I" ..but she eventually understood. ALSO she said that she had checked twitter and seen our tweets, which caused her to write "Sorry for the traffic" on Sarai's picture.. lol. I asked if we could get pictures and Stacy explained to whoever may have been listening that she & I were twitter friends, and then Sarai got a photo with her, .. OH, I should also add that as Stacy came around to the front of the table to take photos with us, she saw my cup and said "What are you drinking?" I replied, very casually, "Cherry Coke. You want some?" She said "Aw I don't like cherry coke" WHICH WAS SO SAD BECAUSE I WAS THAT CLOSE TO HAVING HER DRINK OUT OF MY EFFING STRAW Y'ALL. (For the record, I don't like cherry coke either, but it was the only thing they had that was remotely good)
Anyway, we only got to talk to Stacy for a little while, but it was an AMAZING experience, of course, and a wonderful day, and I would not have changed one bit of it.. except maybe gotten there earlier to avoid traffic. lol.
It was wonderful.
I love Stacy London.

for you, a thousand times over;

One thing you need to understand about me is that I am done chasing people who aren't interested. Done. Be it a friend or a potential more-than-friend, I am not running after you. If you show no interest in me at all, don't expect me to hold up the entire relationship with one hand. It can't be done, and I refuse to try. Its not fair.
Also, don't try to walk all over me. I am done with that too.. In fact, I have been done with that for a WHILE. It is not going to work.

One other thing you need to understand about me is that I have been incredibly (and CONSTANTLY) overwhelmed with my life all semester. I work 20 hours a week at my part time job, I am in classes, I have homework, I am doing a show, and I work once a week in the scene shop... I have zero free time. I haven't even been to the GROCERY store since THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST. Its a little bit ridiculous. Anyway, because of all this, I feel like I have sort of lost touch with all my lovely friends. And for that I am very sorry. I hate always having to turn down spending time with people because I always have somewhere else I have to be. It sucks. But I mean, don't get me wrong, I am incredibly thankful for my busy life- especially my job. I adore everyone I work with and I really don't mind being there.. I just hate being sleep deprived and stuff.

NEVERTHELESS, I would like to apologize to anyone I have inadvertently blown off over the past few months. I am very scattered. Its not you, its me.

Also uhmm best conversational exchange EVER at work today between me & little cute hobbit man I adore:
Him: Sorry about that.
Me: Oh, you're fine!
Him: Thank you!
Me: Why you're welcome!

OK.
Anyway.
I want to get some Sarah Dessen books and read them, and also John Green's 'An Abundance of Katherines' ... ANNNDDD I GET TO SEE STACY LONDON TOMORROW.

Also, contrary to what the majority of this blog would have you believe, I am happy. And I look for the beauty in each day, and I find it. :) I hope all of you are able to say the same.

if you'll excuse an expression I use;

I'm as corny as Kansas in August
high as the flag on the fourth of July.
*_*
