so sorry i haven't blogged in 3 days.
it's been full of partying and seeing people i haven't seen in ages.
i plan on just relaxing and doing some much needed "housekeeping" today.
focusing on me and a few minor upkeep things i need to do for myself.
my diet HAS SUCKED the past couple of days but it's changing today. no excuses.
so i'm just watching antm now and waiting to get some motivation to do anything.
ugh. i have to do my nails, wash my sheets, get a load of laundry together and tidy my room.
so i leave you with the picture of the day:

here's to the new year.
so 2011 is upon us. weird to think this is the year that will make me a "real" adult. bringing me in to my 21st year, which can only lead me to more trouble than i already get in.
i always do resolutions and only stick with half of them. so here are a few cliche'd ones and some truly meaningful ones for me.
1. lose weight and stick to the diet that you come up with
2. become better friends with the other girls/boys in the dorm
3. become close with kevin (date?)
4. find yourself happy and healthy by the end of 2011
5. go out and have fun at least 1x a week
6. save money when possible
7. find another good guy friend like brian
8. find a good boyfriend
9. update this blog daily if not every other day
10. become more creative.
11. really complete 101 in 1001

about this.
it isn't my first blog. actually i have had several over the years. but since 2011 starts sooner than i thought i figured this would be a wonderful idea. to blog and chronicle my life. in 2011. since 2010 was a year of learning about myself, who i am, who i want to become, what i'm capable of and making mistakes with boys i can see what 2011 needs to become. and the only one who can do this, is me.
well here's the girl you'll be reading about. i'm not really a "camera" person, i feel as if i'm not terribly photogenic but you all deserve to know who your reading about. so here i am in all my glory today:
believe it or not i'm ready to head back to school. i go to university and i'm in my junior year. i live in a small town in connecticut, which i have an ongoing love/hate relationship with. i have some of the best friends i could ask for, but unfortunately for me, the closest friends are a good 30 minutes away and my best friends are an hour away. hence why i'm ready to head back to school! all i have to do is shout across the room to my wonderful roommate and best friend andrea or shout down the hall to kait and meg.
this blog is about my inspirations, my life, what i do, random pictures and stories of night's past. i'm going to try and document my life as it comes. it's hard to say what will become of this, but one of my resolutions is to blog daily. just to get everything out there. i want to discover more about myself and change who i am. become the woman you want to be. thinking about that makes me think of one of my ultimate inspirations diane von furstenberg. i love her. she's tied with audrey hepburn, andy warhol and edie sedgewick as my ultimate inspirations.
i'll leave you a wish of mine:
