Hi guys! I am so, so, so, so, so, SO excited. You want to know why? Okay, I guess I'll tell you...I found a new purse! :) Okay, well...it's not exactly mine yet, but I am determined to get it sometime within the next year. But due to being in high school and not having a job I'll probably have to wait until Christmas. But I don't care! It's defiantly worth the wait. :) The purse it a beautiful Leopard Messenger type bag and I am in love with it! :) Visit Melie Bianco's website to look at more beautiful purses! She is an amazing designer.

BUT - Here's the purse. :) :) :) 

This is colormenana's picture, I used it because I thought it gave more justice to how beautiful the bag really is. Did I mention she had a giveaway for it? Yea...didn't win. :/

Someday I will own this bag. I am sure of it. But what do you guys think of it? What are your favorite types of purses? I would LOVE to see your opinions. :)

Awkward Turtle. :p

Okay, you all have them. Whether or not we admit we have them is a different story. You know what I am talking about. Those awkward moments that everyone has. Or maybe my life is just overly awkward...which could possibly be the case. You tell me. I compiled a list of awkward things that I believe happen to everyone. Please tell me if I'm the only one here... ;)

1. Going to the bathroom and not having any toilet paper. - You sit down, do your business and notice...whoops...no toilet paper, oh and there is no one there to lend me any...great...


2. For the women, when your bra unclasps in public for no apparent reason. OH MY GOSH.

3. Parking on the wrong side of the gas station, then turning the car around to realize you are still on the wrong side. This happens to me quite often, I really don't understand why...because I use the same gas station almost every time. Will I ever learn? Probably not. Curse my air-headed-ness. :/


4. You go into a school/store stall and it stinks, but you can't leave because there are people in there waiting in line. So, you get done...and everyone thinks that YOU are the one who stunk up the place. I absolutely LOVE it when it happens to me.

5. Sitting next to someone you find attractive while watching a sex scene in a movie or when you are on a date with a new guy...yea...awkward.

6. Watching a sex scene from a movie with your parents. WARNING: Never watch Get 'em to the Greek, Hot Tub Time Machine, or My Bloody Valentine with your parents. Ever.


7. Walking in on someone in the bathroom.


8. Going to grab the last item on the shelf, then someone else gets it before you. Grrr, whores.


9. Forgetting someone’s name who you have known for like ever.


10. Calling someone by the wrong name. Phil - Doug - Bob, oh? Hunter? My bad...


11. Surprise ads with half naked women and/or men in a public area.

12. Going to pay and realize you forgot your money.

13. Getting caught staring at someone.

14. Forgetting your spanks at an away game and having to flip. Ohh cheerleading. - Shout out to my homegirl!

15. When you are talking to someone and they walk right past you.

16. When you see someone waving in your direction, and then you wave back, only to realize they were waving at the person behind you. :/


17. Going into the opposite sexes bathroom. And someone walks in. Kill me.

18. When you’re eating and someone is trying to talk to you, and it takes forever for you to chew the rest of your food.


19. When you walk out of a store and can’t remember where you parked, so you wander around looking for it for about an hour.

So, to close this awkward post...I will show you some awkward photo's that I found online. Enjoy. :)

Blood?

Hey guys, I really didn't have anything interesting to post so I decided that I should try to help out one of the great causes here in the US of A. :) Today at our school we had our SECOND blood drive this year with the American Red Cross. This is also my second time giving blood, the first time was in January. I would've done it sooner, but I am still only 16 so I haven't really had the chance. But I was thinking, maybe if I post about how good it feels afterwards to know you are saving lives (up to 3, actually) some of you will go out and give! :)

Giving blood really isn't as bad as some people think it is, the first time I did it I was absolutely TERRIFIED. I thought I was going to pass out or vomit at the sight of blood and a needle. The only reason I really did it was because I figured that I should at least try and not be selfish with my good heath, so I went and faced my fears even though I really didn't want to do it at all. But I did, and I am glad that I made that choice! 

Now, since I know what is going on I feel so much more comfortable and happy with my decision. But if that doesn't convince you guys, let me throw in some facts. 

• Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.
• More than 38,000 blood donations are needed every day.
• A total of 30 million blood components are transfused each year in the U.S.
• The average red blood cell transfusion is approximately 3 pints.
• The blood type most often requested by hospitals is Type O.
• The blood used in an emergency is already on the shelves before the event occurs.
• Sickle cell disease affects more than 80,000 people in the U.S., 98 percent of whom are African American. Sickle cell patients can require frequent blood transfusions throughout their lives.
• More than 1 million new people are diagnosed with cancer each year. Many of them will need blood, sometimes daily, during their chemotherapy treatment.
• A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood.

So, if you aren't convinced  by those numbers I don't know how to convince you. It is ultimately your choice and the Red Cross does a wonderful job of letting people know that. But I think that you should at least try it and see how you can handle it, especially if you are a healthy person. If you do decide to donate you can schedule an appointment here at your nearest hospital. Not to mention you get prizes when you donate so many pints. ;)

Have a great weekend! :)
