You're AT YOUR PRIME. If you don't want to be commited to anyone, save you and the other person some time and don't be in a relationship! This is probably the most important bullet point in this post.</font><br /><br /><font color=purple>2) After you commit to a relationshipLet these dudes/ladies KNOW what's up-<br /><br>you're always going to have to deal with meddlers ready to break up something good just to say they did it.</font><br /><br /><font color=orange>3)Send lovey-dovey random text messages<br /><br>JUST DO IT! I love them.</font><br /><br /><font color=blue>4) Surround yourself with mutual friends + those that support the union <br /><br> I cope with this a lot since I am in college and my boyfriend is not. Because of this, it is imperative that I engage him with my friends for multiple reasons. 1) So my friends won't try to get me to talk to other guys when I'm out without my BF, and 2) They will see how awesome he is and be jealous (kidding). No but seriously, you don't need friends whispering in your ear telling you that you don't need to be in a relationship, if you want to be in one.</font><br /><br /><font color=pink>5)Start new things together. <br /><br /><br>Get a puppy. Create a business plan. Ride a new roller coaster. Cowrite a book. Find a common ground and embark ona new journey together. Engage in activities that will teach you more about each other and you will learn so much about the type of person you're dealing with, and ultimately discover if the relationship is something work investing in.<br /><br /><br>TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE</br> </font><br /><br /><br><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibNJdVf3SGheyvvQMcQFvsh5BigiNng0qjqJilyGv_rCUPbIV19TSvAlWYmaK0i5-41-4gbRFJfgW9J4YjMprWkIeknc1Y2wfcW388nVGFdBdzdkRVv8fWa0GTJk22CLbBoxqlvny5sYM/s1600/frank+ski+bday+2009.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibNJdVf3SGheyvvQMcQFvsh5BigiNng0qjqJilyGv_rCUPbIV19TSvAlWYmaK0i5-41-4gbRFJfgW9J4YjMprWkIeknc1Y2wfcW388nVGFdBdzdkRVv8fWa0GTJk22CLbBoxqlvny5sYM/s400/frank+ski+bday+2009.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595550477578034754" /></a><br /><br /><br><font size=5 color=red><i>READER QUESTION: How do you cope with your college relationships?

Something about holding the latest month's shiny concoction of photos and blurbs makes me feel so...<i>wonderful</i>.<br /><br />But what on earth do you do when you've got mounds of them? Now worries, I'm compiled a comprehensive list for you!<br /><br /><br> 1. make a personal <font size=5 color=yellow>style</font> collage highlighting your favorite items(this can assist greatly before aimless shopping trips)<br /><br> 2. make an inspiration board (filled with images that inspire YOU!)<br /><br>3. Frame gorgeous images and mount as decor (this is such a cheap and chic way of glami-fying a dull room. (You can even buy cheap poster frames from <a href="http://www.target.com/s?keywords=poster+frames&searchNodeID=1038576%7C1287991011&ref=sr_bx_1_1">target</a>.)<br /><br>4. shred/tear the pages and use them as shipping paper<br /><br>5. roll it up and <font size=5 color=green>spank</font> your puppy when he poops in the house<br /><br>6. save a few in a trunk for your children or future generations (I wish my mom had saved some <font size=5 color=orange>retro</font> mags from back in the day. That's be so tight, right?)<br /><br>7.laminate them and make a wallet/coin purse. remember the kool-aid jammer purse epidemic? if not <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=kool+aid+jammer+purse&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=">click here</a><br /><br>8. periodically rummage through back issues for content/prompt ideas for your personal blogs. If you're anything like me, you're always on the prowl for new site content!<br /><br />♥<br /><br /><br /> <p><br /><img style="border:0;" align="right" src="http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq343/fashionia/th_signature.png?t=1294257255" /><br /></p>Deniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06677311242662441248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664331764755290445.post-6127951276088334662011-01-24T20:04:00.000-08:002011-01-24T20:09:25.833-08:00sooooo.today was a bore and i didnt feel inspired to write anything specific. anyhow, <br /><br /><font size=5 color=red>5 days till <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/m/2256229/166164333/s/0/aHR0cCUzQSUyRiUyRmZkcmVzc2luZy5ibG9nc3BvdC5jb20lMkYyMDExJTJGMDElMkZhcy1teS10aGlnaHMtYnVybi5odG1s">HONDA. </font></a><br /><br /><i>whoop whoop.</i><br /><br />oh yea, i have a new header too. yay me.<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><br /><img style="border:0;" align="right" src="http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq343/fashionia/th_signature.png?t=1294257255" /><br /></p>Deniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06677311242662441248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664331764755290445.post-49312146655500085252011-01-23T19:31:00.000-08:002011-01-23T19:34:53.224-08:00Sluggish Sundays: ninjasonikI'm getting off to a <b>BAD START</b>; I'm already procrastinating with my work.

What thee hell...<br /><br /><br />The degradation with equating a female a HUMAN BEING, with the value of a car, home, or some other inanimate object...is just disgusting! I was genuinely surprised at how much it bothered me, but I rode on home in SILENCE.<br /><br />I mean, I dont go out and purchase my friends and then at the end of the day kick my feet up and say..."gee, she/he sure was WORTH THE MONEY...all that lovely advice she/he gave me and all the time she/he spends with me...man I work hard everyday at work just so I can BUY me some her/him!" <br /><br />I mean, I know in this instance the song is referring to a male paying for RELATIONS and not necessarily a RELATIONship...but gah-lee...how much easier would that whole process be if you got to know a person and the person actually wanted to give you relations in exchange for MERE companionship?! Amazing thought huh? I mean then you could spend your money paying a bill or even paying child support! <br /><br />smh. <br /><br /><font size=4 color=blue>I mean come ON people....is it really that painstaking to develop real relationships with people????</font><br /><br /><br /><br />Says the girl that can probably count her friends on <i>one</i> hand. <br /><br />Well, I guess it is pretty hard.<br /><br />(pause)Deniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06677311242662441248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664331764755290445.post-58732596402517732382010-12-29T07:35:00.000-08:002010-12-29T08:01:00.444-08:00My new favorite movie...<br>This is the perrrfect movie to watch on a <b><i>date night or something!</b></i> Seriously.<br /><br /><br><center><img src="http://www.mannythemovieguy.com/images/scott_pilgrim_vs_the_world_movie_review.jpg"><br /><br><a href="http://www.mannythemovieguy.com/images/scott_pilgrim_vs_the_world_movie_review.jpg">(source)</a></center><br /><br />This is the face I made when <a href="http://fdressing.blogspot.com/2010/12/ill-send-you-my-loveon-wire.html">Jarrett</a> first asked me to watch it: <br><center><img src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:lh0lwf0wDYtCZM:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v316/vehiclesshockme/ONTD/Mary-Elizabeth-Winstead-Ramona-Flowers-Scott-Pilgrim-vs-World.jpg&t=1"></center><br /><br /><br><center><a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:lh0lwf0wDYtCZM:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v316/vehiclesshockme/ONTD/Mary-Elizabeth-Winstead-Ramona-Flowers-Scott-Pilgrim-vs-World.jpg&t=1">(source)</a></center><br /><br /><br>But I really don't watch a lot of movies and it takes a lot to keep me entertained for two straight hours--and I can safely say that this movie kept me interested. <br /><br /><br><br />I'm really growing to love and appreciate <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Cera">Michael Cera</a> as an actor. He's cute, lovable, and effortlessly hilarious.<br /><br />This movie will make you fall in love with him I guarantee you. If you love music I recommend this movie as well. The soundtrack features one of my favorite bands, <a href="http://www.ilovemetric.com/site/bio.html">Metric,</a> the producer of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/">Radiohead</a>, as well as <a href="http://www.beck.com/lyrics/">Beck.</a> If you are unaware of any of the bands/people I have mentioned--then I invite you to expand your musical vocabulary and check them out! Look, I even provided links!<br /><br />No but seriously check this movie out; it's worth watching. Watching a guy duke it out against his lover's past exes not only makes for good comedy, but maybe it'll teach your guy a thing or two about romance!<br /><br /><b><i>kidding.</b></i>Deniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06677311242662441248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664331764755290445.post-6830358683776395332010-12-28T10:47:00.000-08:002010-12-29T06:41:34.355-08:00thigh highs....dun dun dun...<br><font size=4 color=ff6699>Betsey Johnson thigh highs!!</font><br /><br><a href="http://betj.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pBETJ1-8558112v275.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 380px; height: 456px;" src="http://betj.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pBETJ1-8558112v275.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br />I really want these Betsey Johnson over the knee socks, but I'm scared to wear them without looking like some sort of weird retro sexy referee or something!!
