I'm Home

I just got home from my vacation and I feel like it was a whirl wind. Here's the quick rundown...

*Went clubbing for the 1st time--I can now cross this off my bucket list. It was fun and I want to do it again, but next time I'm going to a club where the guys are actually checking me, not my brother, out...
*Experienced my 1st swap meet...so HOT!! But there was some cool stuff
*Walked all over the strip and through a bunch of casinos...brought back memories of being a kid and meeting my dad at the Oasis to have dinner
*Tanned by the pool...I still have ridiculous tan lines from Lagoon though
*Found TONS of cute boys. Unfortunately most didn't play for my team
*Went to H&M in Ceasers Palace (3 stories!!!) and found some cute things.
*Saw the Ultimate Variety show in which my older brother was quite the active participant. He was called by name to the stage 3 times.
*Found adorable rock star jewelry (of course I bought it)
*Road the Roller Coaster at New York New York.

I also decided that Planet Hollywood and the Miracle Mile shops are my favs on the strip. There's a store called "Betty Page" (Yes that Betty Page) that had really great little play suits and accessories. If only I didn't have two years of school left to pay for...

A lot of great ideas for my new book showed themselves while I was in LV. We'll see if they actually garnish anything. I haven't written for almost a week!!! I need to get moving if I'm going to have this done by summer. I know what I want to do with it, I just have to take the time to write it all out. I also need to work on my portfolio for the school paper. If anyone has any ideas for articles I could write let me know...I'm drawing a blank. 

Anyways....I'm home now, done with my summer vacation. Now all I have to look forward to is the Katy Perry Concert next month. Sometimes I wish I could stay on vacation forever.

Born for This

Sometimes, I wonder if we are born to do specific things. The other day I was reading a magazine interview with Katy Perry (surprise surprise) and she said something along the lines of feeling like she was born to be a popstar. What I wonder is if people are born to do certain things. Was Picaso born to be a painter? Was Eistien delievered to this earth to bogle our minds with his discovery's in math and science?? Was I born to write??????

Okay, I'll stop attempting to be deep. I finished editing "David". Slightly sad about the whole thing, but also a bit relieved that it's done. I want to get it all cleaned up and send it to publishers, and at the same time I want to spend some time with another project I just started and let David and Katy breathe for a bit. Decisions decisions.

I haven't had much time to think about anything though because I've been working like crazy. Work hosted grad parties for Clearfield and Syracuse so I had to work the midnight parties on top of working normal shifts. I can't complain. I need the money, but my body is trying to catch up. I think it might take some time for it to though. haha.

So that's me, just being boring and reading. I've decided if I could write like Russell Brand, or at least have is vocabulary, I would be totally fine. Guess I'll just keep dreaming...
