In my mind....

So...

   

   This commercial is awesome. I have always loved it. I want it to be an idea for a movie... weird, I know. Not the hamster or car part but the 18th century opera house dance house. Kind of like how they made Romeo and Juliet, Marie Antoinette and now The Great Gatsby, making it old but modern and rave-ish. I don't know, just a thought.

Do I make sense?!

Love is amazing.

Hello loves,

   As many of you  know, Sean and I have a sick obsession with each other. Hahahaha. We have developed a playlist of sorts over these pass few years. Here's a few of them! Some are super cheesy and some don't actually make sense or have anything to do with love and our relationship.

   When I was was super sick I stayed at my mom's a watched VHS tapes, I absolutely love the movie Drive Me Crazy with Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier. An awesome 90s movie about a girl trying to find a date to prom. She ends up transforming her neighbor then accidentally falls in love in the process. One of my favorite movies so Sean watched it with me and this song is my favorite part of the movie so we played it in the car on time just like they did, we are so lame.

   Now this one is not even close to a love song. But it was a song from a CD I got when I was younger, I shared it with Sean one st. patty's day. And we say it in a weird version of an Irish accent just randomly. He even bought me a Ireland magnet from the airport when he got back from a trip, haha.

   Sean's favorite band is Coheed and Cambira. I personal don't like listening to them, but he can play it cause it's his car. But this is the only song I like cause it flows so nicely. This is a love song, not too sure if it's really a song we would call "our song" but it defiantly deserves to be on our playlist!

   The Beach Boys, the best band ever. I mean, come on! Every one of their songs is easily a hit loved by any age.  This song I first heard from another 90s movie, Never Been Kissed staring the wonderful Drew Barrymore, it's my favorite movie of all time. When this song is played durning the movie. She gets her first real kiss, it gives me goosebumps all over! Don't Worry Baby is a happy song about love. It was a perfect Our Song. 

Okay that's a few from our playlist of love.

Spring Crafting

Hey spring lovers,

   We made some hand flowers today. Super easy, traced Bridget's hands and cut them out for her. Then just out the stem shape with leaves and the inner circle. She did all the gluing, which she is getting better at. She used the right amount! It came out so cute!

Love,
Christina

Leaving the country...

Okay well not yet. But I am finally getting my "mug" shot done for my passport so I can hand in my application Friday. If I wait to long I will have to pay more. And being  poor, that is just not an option.

Canada here I come!!!

Well... in August, anyway.

Where else should I go?

Express yourself, no matter what.

Welp....

   I need to start to take artistic photos again, this is getting ridiclous. All I do is models and other crap so I can make money (That I desperately need). I started photography with artsy fartsy pics to get my emotions out. I think I will challenge myself to do that once again. I think I'm really good at it. It makes me feel better and is another way to express myself.

Just me again, Christina

Dog Park Trip

It's starting to get warm enough to hike again! Sean, Bobo, and I gathered the pups for a nice hike. They had a blast and defiantly needed it after a winter of being stuck inside. Abby's in the top left next to it in the middle is Apollo being goofy! Bobo's getting kisses from Abs. Sean is being Sean in the bottom corner, Boomer was running into the mud then came back to visit. And in the bottom right is the dogs we got to meet on the trail! They all went nuts and played for a bit. Too cute!

Dis iz da b3st dayz of mi life YOLO

   Flipping through the channels and came across a stupid reality show, but as any human you kind of watch it for a few mins cause it's so ridiculous. I really hate when people talk "ghetto". You sound stupid, I know you went to school, did any teacher talk like that, did someone teach you to speak like your stupid.


   I know everyone of you is smarter than that so don't dumb yourself down so people think you're "cool". No one will ever take you seriously like that. Not coworks or bosses at the office, not in politics, not anywhere. Some of you won't even be able to get a job because are they going to hire a person who speaks clear and proper or someone who their going to have to decode. So lose the "dis iz" and "da club" and please get rid of your "ain't" and "wanna". Come on people.
   Okay I lied... I just was on FB and see people talking like this everyday, But that ^ was my status so I had to be discreet hahaha!
Oh people... 
Here if you need help.... Bahahahaha

REALLY?

Hey,

   Hope everyone is safe. This week has been crazy for Boston and more. I send my love to everyone affected. It was so scary, I know someone who was literally a block away! Now that he is caught and his brother is dead, I hope the people of Boston can sleep well again. But one thing from this I do not approve of is hate, hate to people who have nothing to do with this horrific act. Muslims aren't terriost. Are you people really that stupid to think that what Muslims are? They are PEOPLE. You know same as you and I. It makes me sick to think Muslims are being punished for what these two men did. If they were real Muslims they wouldn't have done this, says so in their book, the Quran. 

   We have bad people in every religion, race, nationality, etc. When will people realize this. Westboro Baptize Church is Christian and do awful hate crimes, yet people don't judge all Christians for what those few do. So why Muslims? Makes me sick to my stomach knowing innocent Americans are being treated different cause of their religion/beliefs and being told by people "Why don't you leave our country!".  Well idiots, it's because it's their country too! A friend from high school told me that she has gotten threatening phone calls. I couldn't believe it! She is one of the nicest people I have ever met. To think people are treating her and her family like that... I'm disgusted with these prejudice people.

   I hope one day people will realize bad people are just that, bad people. Not defined as all Muslims or anything other than that.  

Their was a post that had been going around (That top image). So some responded with this photo!

Peace. Love. Hope.

Open your eyes to both sides.

On CNN Website: Senate rejects expanded gun background checks


  ^ REALLY. I'm disappointed, I just don't understand. Why should someone just be like "hmm, I'm going to buy a gun today" 5 mins later have their very own gun. Everyone should have a background check. I don't know what the big deal is, if you don't have any problems why are you so worried about the damn law?!

Article excerpt--- Noting polls that showed 90% support for such a measure, Obama called it a "pretty shameful day for Washington" and wondered of Congress: "Who are we here to represent?"

   All over Facebook, right after the Sandy Hook shooting (I'm from CT) everyone and the mother bought a friggin' gun.  I really do mean like everyone, and they all were complaining and saying MY GUN. MY COUNTRY, MY FREEDOM blahblahblah....  You all sound like pompous assholes.

Article excerpt--- On the other side, the NRA's Chris Cox called the expanded background check proposal "misguided," saying it would not reduce violent crime "or keep our kids safe in their schools."

  Yes, bad guys don't listen to laws, but you don't think that this would make it harder for them to get the guns? Yeah I know... they will get it somewhere else. But at least we know those who own it legally are sane and not criminals. This world will never be a perfect place were no one shoots another person or any of that, but why can't we do a little something to change who can get their hands on a gun easily. Bad guys shouldn't be able to just go to the gun store and buy one. Let's make it more difficult for them!

   Yes, I do think people should have the right to own a gun, but you can't drive a car without a license nor can you drive a car without it being registered... so why shouldn't the same rules apply for a weapon? I mean come on people. You are all fighting over a gun which I'm sure most of you (hopefully) won't ever have to use.

   I think their should be a limit on what kind of guns you own. Why would you need a machine gun? Or some other crazy gun.... Are you in the military fighting in Afghanistan or some other country where you actually need a gun to defend yourself in combat? Exactly.

   You (mostly) are some Republican who hates anything Obama has to say and just want a gun cause they say you can't (Which BTW they aren't). If your not mentally unstable and don't have a criminal background then you shouldn't have a problem getting that gun you are freaking out about.

   I'm not You do have the right to bare arms. That's fine. I mean I don't want a gun, but I think I should learn how to shoot just incase of an emergency situation. You should be able to defend yourself from intruders and anything else that might happen that would cause you to need a gun for protection.
one sided, I swear.

Article excerpt--- Polls show that a strong majority of Americans support some type of initiative to stem gun violence. In a CNN/ORC International pollreleased last week, 86% of Americans say they support expanded background checks.

Glad the senate listened to the people of the Anited States instead of their stupid minds.... *Note my sarcasm* 

One: Not everyone in this country has the same religion, so respect the UNITED States of America
Two: Gun, Guns, Guns! Calm the fuck down.
Three: Guts? Come on...

Sorry to rant...

Quotes Of The Day: Books

   Hi, to who ever you are.

   As you can tell... My mind is a roller coaster. Being bipolar has it's up, but a lot of downs. I just finished watching The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. The books has a special place in my heart, for I read it durning one of my worst depressions. I think the reason it means so much to me is I relate to Charlie. A lot.

“So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.”

-That is the life I live, most days.

"It's strange because sometimes, I read a book, and I think I am the people in the book.”

-Charlie and I are almost one in the same.

   I use to think of horrible things all the time. Not of the same things, but the same way he emotional feels. I use to write here a lot. About almost everything I felt. I wish I had a person I could have written to. But I had here. Some post I deleted right after I wrote them, since I didn't want to share those type of thoughts.

"We accept the love we think we deserve"

    I dated shitty people who treated me shitty. But that was what I thought was good for me.

   Thankfully now... I am so much better then I have ever been. I've had depression most of my life, even before I realized what was wrong with me. Of course I still have my sad moments were I think about things. Charlie always cried a lot (in the book at least.) and I do too. Quite often. Even about stupid little things. I mean just last week I was annoyed that no one was washing dirty dishes, then angry I had to rush to finish all the sides of our dinner at the same time, and then cried cause I was frustrated and pissed off cause I smashed my hand of the microwave and then spilled the whole salt shaker on my food. But then about 15 mins later I was laughing and smiling watching a movie with Sean. Being bipolar is weird like that.

“I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That’s why I’m trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning.” 

 “So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.”

   Charlie is thankful for his friends for being there for him and never judging him for being Charlie. You know? I mean what can be better than that. Being accepted for who you are no matter what. Sean does that for me. I don't think I would be where I am mentally and physically if it were not for him. I didn't imagine I would ever be in this state of mind, ever. He accepts me for all I am. When I cry he just hugs me. Past "friends and boyfriends" would not understand and eventually left. But Sean was different than anyone I have ever met.

“Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.” 

   I use to think I would be in the physic ward one day, that's where I wanted to be because I hated life. Then he came into my life when I needed someone just to say "Hey, I really like you... for you." He was my support system, he understood. I never been one to not be open... I was an open book, to anyone will to listen. He did.

“I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That’s why I’m trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning.”

    Eventually we fell in love. I smile and laugh most days. Perks defiantly helped me through tough times. And now Sean does.

“Please believe that things are good with me, and even when they're not, they will be soon enough. And I will always believe the same about you.”

     I'm glad they made the movie. I'm glad Charlie became okay. I'm glad I became okay.

   Thanks for listening,
      Christina

“And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.”

I never had those moments, till now.  

Quote Of The Day

Hey readers!

Going to do quotes of the day, I'm not saying I'll post every single day. I'll probably forget to do it a lot. But when I see an awesome quote, watching a movie, reading or it relates to how I feel that day and I like it I'll post it!

Truth.

I'll post when I can. On the title I'll write what kind of category it is unless it's random. Some will say Quote Of The Day: Movie or Quote Of The Day: Mental Health. So I hope you like the ones I post or the relate to you that day and make it a bit better.

Pinterst is our life.

Hey people,

   Pinterest party was small... as in it turned in to a girls night of Dina, Kerrianne, and Kim. Thanks to all the people that ditched last minute, really appreciate it. But we had much more fun without you all. We all made awesome food to eat. Kerrianne made chocolate lasagna which was a hit the the men in the house. They took a break from gaming in the man cave to eat our food, hahaha. Kim brough carrot cake. Dina brought a veggie calzone type of thing and my favorite Tuscan bean salad along with an amazing dip called tomato guacamole.  I am now addicted to it. I made this taste addicting cheese cake dip with strawberries and graham cracker topping. It was the hit of the party and later that week for Vampire Dairies Tuesdays, Kim came over and we made it again! Haha.

Kim and I. She did a pinterest inspired hair.

ALL OURS!!!

Baby Ed visit.
