update | end of the 30-day

i told you i'd be MIA! this weekend was so worth it, definitely had a blast reuniting with my friends from school and enjoying a few drinks. yay for underage drinking and over-eating horrendous college food!

anyways, nothing special on the fashion front. i went shopping today only to buy some new threads for work, consisting of gym shorts and t-shirts. awesome, right? not so much. i did, however, find freakin SPARKLE band-aids at target and i can't wait to get a horrible hangnail or something so i can use them. i'm a nerd when it comes to shit like that haha. i also bought a new shade of nail polish that i will post about as soon as these puppies dry!

while waiting, i'll finish up my 30 day challenge that would have ended yesterday, had i been around to blog.

day 29: in this past month, what have you learned? - 
how far i've come | how to love | how to stand my ground | how to make everybody equally happy

day 30: who are you? - 
i honestly can't answer this question, because i still don't know after 20 years of life. maybe someday in the future i will finally be able to answer.

day 27 | day 28

i am seriously slacking off on this challenge! without further ado:

day 27: why are you doing this 30 day challenge? - 
i started it because i was extremely bored and creating what i thought were extremely boring posts. after seeing someone post this on their blog, i thought it'd be an interesting way to present more of myself, on the inside, to my followers. i think it's working.

day 28: a picture of you taken last year, and one taken recently. how have you changed? -

2009

2010

physically, i have not changed much, give or take a few pounds and the length of my hair. mentally, wow. i have done a complete turn around. not a 180, more like a 360 because i'm even better than i used to be. yes, i'm going to boast, here. i appear happy in most of the pictures taken of me during that time, but on the inside, i may as well have been dead. i went from a fragile, terrified little girl who didn't feel comfortable in most situations to my true and honest self that i am now - outgoing, humorous, and most importantly, i am happy. it feels like life can't get any better.

slacking!

i just peeled my socks off and BOY does it feel good. i just got home and i immediately ran to my bed. my shoulders are sore, my feet are sore, my eyes are sore... working sucks! i know, i know, how hard is it to serve coffee? it's not that - it's the old as fuck people that come in everyday and give me a hard time, whether it's in a joking way or not. either way, i am tired as hell right now. and because of this horrible time waster i call my job, i haven't had much time to come on here and enjoy comments and posts by all of you wonderful people! that being said, i need to get my arse in gear and make up yesterday and today's 30 day challenge!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

day 25: what can be found in your bag/purse? -
oy vey! alright, i'm emptying it as i speak! [read: type]
outside zipper part: $15.65 in tips, a bobby pin, a bright pink reminder that i'm working tomorrow..
inside [ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?!]: water bottle, wallet, VS mini lotion and body mist in pure seduction, 5 brand gum, burt's bees chapstick, c.o. bigelo lemon lip balm, 2 pens, a thing of bobby pins, hand sanitizer, gum wrapper, glasses case, daily medicine, sunglasses, floss, mini mouth wash, bracelet, mirror.
inside zipper compartment: tampons, bandages, and fingernail clippers.

PHEW

day 26: what you think about your friends -

i have nothing but kind words to say about my friends. of course they get on my nerves at times, but if i didn't like someone, i wouldn't consider them to be a friend. i love them to death. they would [hopefully] do anything for me, and i them. we don't share many of the same interests, but my friends and my personality just click. i have 4 very best friends, two from town, one about 2 hours west of me, and one all the way in california. there are really no words describing the love i feel for these people. they've been with me through the ups and the downs. they've helped me to become who i am today, right now. they are part of me, and forever will be.

day23 | day24

day 23: something you crave for a lot - 

just some genuine, from the heart TLC. nothing beats some good ol' tender love and care! even when you say you want to be left alone, all you really want is something to be there, just someone there to listen, to care about you, to stand by you. through the ups and the downs. no matter what, you can never have too much TLC.

day 24: a letter to your parents -

thank you for raising me to be independent and take care of myself. you've taught me everything i've ever needed to know. you've taught me how to love, which i extend every day to the people in my life. you've taught me to stand up for myself, which sometimes backfires when you guys nag at me. you've taught me how to be "street smart," which has come in handy more than you could ever know. and most importantly, you've taught me how to be strong and never give up. if you didn't, i wouldn't be here right now. so thank you, from the bottom of my heart. i love you both and i always will.

quick postage - day 22

i'm completely exhausted so i'm going to do this quick post for the challenge, then i'm off to bed!

 

day 22: what makes you different from everyone else? -

let's just say there will never be another aimee ________ in this world. i am loud but humble, opinionated but respectful, extremely friendly and open, and and i am most importantly, i am extremely determined. i know everyone says those are their specific characteristics, but i guess until you meet me, you'll never really know how sincerely i am when writing this post.

enough babbling though, i hope you all have a great night and i'll be sure to read all of your updated blogs asap!

cruising through day 21

day 21: a picture of something that makes you happy -

wowowow, this was a really hard choice. so many things in this world make me happy. from the cheesy stuff to the incredibly awesome. i finally landed on a picture i took during the cruise to bermuda mid-april. this picture is from the balcony on our room. if it weren't for this balcony, lord knows i would have jumped ship to swim the sharks to get away from my family. i went out there quite a lot over the trip to get away from everything and just sit in silence and stare at the ocean and the sky. it was refreshing and always cleared my head. there are many days i find myself day dreaming about being back in that very place. even at night, the view was amazing. the fresh air, the sound of the waves, the atlantic ocean breeze. that balcony was good to me.

"a kiss is just a pleasant reminder that two heads are better than one"

day 20: someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future -

geez louise! i don't want to say this in case of jinxing myself! but i shall, because i've pussied out of too many of these daily challenges. i do plan on staying with my current boyfriend as possible; as long as we continue to be happy. i love him so much, and i don't even know how i got through my day without having somebody like him to love and adore. he's a huge part of my life and i sincerely hope that it stays that way for a long time. whether or not we reach the massive step of getting married, i'm going to enjoy and cherish every moment we spend together.

"maybe the best thing to do is stop figuring out where you're going, and just enjoy where you're at." -unknown


now, please excuse me while i drift off to la la land and think about how much i love him until feel as if my heart's about to explode. hope you're all enjoying your wednesday!

day nineteen and tmi-tuesday

day 19: what are your nicknames and why do you have them?

my basic nickname for anyone and everyone is "aim." take the ee's out of my name and there you have it - a quick way to get my attention. the boy splendidly refers to me as sweetheart, babe, darling, and the like. my daddy calls me "rama," which is a nickname of a previous nickname he still sometimes calls me, "ramalama." i can't remember why he started that. oh, he and my uncle sometimes call me "aimily" because... just because. i also go by moron, bitch, cunt. ya know. whatever floats your boat, i guess.

i almost forgot to post my challenge today, because quite honestly i already thought that i'd posted something on here today... i guess i was thinking of yesterday. i'm losing it! 20 years old and i'm losing it.

peace and love, dolls... peace and motherfucking love.

seventeen/eighteen

day 17: someone you would want to switch lives with for a day and why | day 18: what are your plans, dreams and goals?

who would i want to be for a day... preferably someone with an amazing closet! i quite envy the closet of kim kardashian, not to mention her awesome rear end.

plans, dreams, and goals... three scary words if you ask me. my current plan is to basically just enjoy myself right now and take things as they come, ya know? my dreams... i wish i could become a part of a magazine franchise, like glamour, elle, cosmopolitan and the like. i would be an inspiring, important, extremely well-dressed executive of the company and help with editorials, layouts, and advice columns. i don't even know if that's possible, but i wish to have a life like that. my future goals? definitely go back to school in the spring; finish my college education; get an amazing job that i love and suits my needs to afford things i need/want.

i guess that's it! hope you are all having a wonderful day :}

day 16

day 16: another picture of yourself -

i look like a drunk mess... probably because i was blissfully gone that night :}

PS, please please please cross your fingers that tropical storm earl doesn't hit wittle massachusetts at hurricane strength!

phew!

i've had a little bit of an influx of followers, and you know i appreciate each and every one of ya! thank you, cuties.

anyways, let's get down to business! i've been so busy today with work, and then helping friends pack up for college. how exciting! i'm very jealous. so, let's see what day we're up to... ah! a journey into some of my musical loves.

1. the real slim shady - eminem
2. run this town - jay-z ft rihanna
3. the reason - hoobastank
4. let's get it on - marvin gaye!
5. caress me down - sublime

day fourteen fail

skipping day 14: a picture of you and your family.

i'm too busy suffering from severe wander lust. i've been stuck in this same small town for way too long. i need to get out. go to chicago, new york, la, london... somewhere that's bustling with interesting people waiting for me to meet. somewhere that has things to do, damn it! i'm sick of the same people, same buildings, same shopping, same scenery. get me out of here!

13/30

day 13: a letter to someone who has hurt you recently -

 

why? why is it always me? you've got such a short temper and i somehow ALWAYS manage to set it off. it's totally unfair how you lay all of the responsibility on me and nobody else. you tell me i do absolutely nothing when in reality, you're too mad all the time to see that i actually DO. you blame me for everything and i'm sick of it. you don't do this to anybody else but me, and quite frankly, it's bullshit. it makes me sad that the way you act towards me is destroying our relationship. ever think that maybe it could be you, and not me? don't worry, though. you'll see how good you really had it after i leave.

12/30

day 12: how you found out about Tumblr/Blogspot and why you made one -

oy vey! as if i remember... hah. i think i always knew about blogspot and eventually i just wanted to create a pretty place where i could vent and all that bullshit. as for tumblr, i believe i started following somebody on twitter and they kept posting tumblr links, therefore i got a chance to roam the site and, duh, fall in love!

sorry for such a short, to-the-point post! i'm terribly lazy today and didn't get out of bed until 1:30pm so now i must drag my lazy ass into the shower and then make myself look presentable for the boy i love :}

day 11 = bust!

day 11: another picture of you and your friends - sorry, darlings! that's a no go due to the whole privacy thing. sorry i fail at this challenge, i should have actually looked over it before posting it hehe.

anyways, rant time!

you know what i absolutely LOATHE? rude people! this one lady came into our store today and tried to tell me how to do my job. our prices aren't expensive, but you certainly pay for what you've ordered. the bitch tried telling me i did my math wrong and charged her too much. she even went as far as writing down and the prices and doing the math - hello?! ever heard of tax? and ever think that maybe you might be a little WRONG because you're looking at the wrong size of a drink you ordered? she most certainly was not from around here because if she was, i would have called her out by her name and told her to leave. she was some filthy tourist still left over from the summer trash we get every year. ugh! it certainly didn't make my mood any better.

 

this crappy weather certainly isn't helping my mood either! rainy, dark, and windy. i honestly just want to lay in bed being lazy and refuse to get off of my laptop for the rest of the night, which is most likely what i'll end up doing :}

but enough about me... anybody else have a case of the mondays?

small update/day ten

first, let's get day ten of the 30 day challenge out of the way...

day 10: songs you listen to when you are happy, sad, bored, excited, mad, etc -

my happy go lucky songs consist of oldies music, indie rock/pop: james taylor, the eagles, the cars, train, sublime, skillet, colbie caillat, jason mraz, steve miller band, dave matthew's band... yaaaa know.

my sad songs consist of "our-generation-oldies," and people who just have mellow music or sing about love gone wrong kind of shit: 3 doors down, eric clapton, james taylor, britney spears, backstreet boys, kelly clarkson.

my excited music is generally based on anything pop/electronica/upbeat/rap such as: deadmau5, datsik, ke$ha, lady gaga, nicki minaj, lil wayne, outkast, rihanna, usher, black eyed peas, 3oh!3, LMFAO, the veronicas, new boyz.

my mad/angry music is usually always rap/hardcore: eminem, skindred, lil wayne, 50cent, three 6 mafia, pink, nirvana, nine inch nails.

------------------------------------------------------

aaanyways, update time!

- my mother and i have decided to go on a diet/healthy eating spree and exercising together [aka walking up and down the street]

- because shoes are my soft spot of fashion, i quite obviously raided the shoe department at marshall's this weekend and found a fabulous pair of heels! i'll take pictures once i stop being lazy.

- my car is broke :{ not only do i have to dish out $50 for an oil change/inspection, but i have to save up at least $500 because my check engine light came on and something is wrong with it, but i couldn't tell you what because none of that car lingo ever makes sense to me. hmph! send me money?

xo

day neuf

happy saturday my darlings! i would say my weekend is starting off well, but that would be a total lie seeing as i've been up since 5am this morning and worked until 11. brutal, lemme tell you! anyways, it's day nine of thirty already! though this one might be a toughie...
 

day 9: something you've done in the past few days that you're proud of - 

hmmmph. honestly, nothing is coming to mind. this week has been kind of blah. i haven't really been shopping all that much which is good for my bank account/future endeavors, but other than that... i haven't fought with my mother much, either, which is just wow. also, i'm about to clean my room so maybe that could count ;}

-shrug-

day huit

day 8: your short term goals for this month and why -

lists are definitely my thing...

-get a second job, hopefully with health benefits!

-tell the next person who judges me for taking a semester off to fuck off
-get some early early early christmas shopping done! silly to be planning this far ahead, but sales are sales, people!
-clean my room and keep it clean
-stop eating sweets
-start jogging every day
-start saving for a macbook
-keep my nails painted and looking good!
-get my car fixed before my boyfriend has a fit :p

basic shtuff. y'know.

day sept

day 7: a picture of someone/something that has had the biggest impact on you -

one word - LOVE

there is honestly nothing more raw in this world than some good ol fashioned love. there aren't words to describe it. i'll just leave it at that.

day 6

day 6: your favourite Superhero and why -

hmmm, this one's a toughie. i'd have to say cat woman.... or is she a villain? either way, you know there's WAY more to the girl than her skin-tight leather body suit and the whip she carries by her side. i've always had a secret love for badass character, always. she knows how to show batman a thing or two and she embraces her femininity and oozes sex appeal.

kane, the creator of batman and therefor catwoman, states:

"I felt that women were feline creatures and men were more like dogs. While dogs are faithful and friendly, cats are cool, detached, and unreliable. I felt much warmer with dogs around me--cats are as hard to understand as women are..."

see? everyone understands how "catty" women can be. she totally just takes the theory and runs with it - she definitely has the whole hot bitch thing going on.
