Yay for Internet!!

September 18, 2012

The internet is back up and running! Woo hoo for me! So here we go with the pictures I wanted to share and I decided to link up w/ Breanna @ My Beautiful, Crazy Life for a fun link up party they do monthly! 




Check out her blog and some of the other blogs participating! 

{1}
When you’re feeling down, what do you do to pick yourself up?
Hmmm I have a method I picked up from Greys..I dance it out. I put the music as loud as it goes, silence the phone and dance till I can’t stand. If I need to I cry it out while i’m dancing but otherwise the music and being alone for a bit usually calms me down. 

{2} 
 If you had to live in a different time period which would you prefer?
Hmmmm that is kind of a hard one I think…I am a fan of the roaring 20’s…aside from the Prohibition but then you wouldn’t have had those speakeasys to party in then…I think it all stems from The Great Gatsby! 

{3} 
What is the most creative Halloween costume you’ve ever worn?
Oooh how I love love Halloween!! I think the last two years have been my most creative really, in case your new around here I love group costumes and dressing up! 

Last year: Jade & Kitana 
2010: The Ninja Turtles

Five weird things about you we wouldn’t know without being told?
1. I love Country music(although recently I have been more open with sharing that) 
2. I gave up all caffeinated drinks 5 years ago this coming January 
3. Brussel Sprouts are the only food that I will NOT eat ever again 
4. I met most of my IRL friends that I am closest to online a few years ago 🙂 
5. I’m lactose intolerant(which sucks by the way) 

{5}
What would you tell your 16-year-old self?
haha ooh to be 16 again. I swear I thought life so hard back then. First thing I would tell myself is to enjoy it, take it easy because life after HS is way harder. To be faithful to that guy because he was a good person and the decisions eventually ruined him and most importantly:
Those people that made you doubt yourself are not of any importance. 

Love this link up! Join in and share!!!

    I've been seeing that answer a lot about dancing it out!! I think I should try that next time I'm upset. I've never eaten a brussel sprout and I don't think I ever will! They just don't sound or look appealing.

    Anyway, I just found your blog and I am loving it ((:

    Hope you're having a good day!!
