talking talking talking.

Ok friends- this is the thing:
(disclaimer: i'm about to rant. i'm sorry.)
People talk about eachother. it has happened since the beginning of time and although it has developed a bad connotation- i would say that the majority of the time it is completely harmless and probably in favor the the talked about. Probably praising the ground they walk on, laughing about memorable times you shared with them, etc. this is a great way to bond with people you haven't seen in a while- to catch up on old friends, boyfriends, etc.
If it's not in favor but it is a friend of yours you are dishing about- then this is a great way to figure out certain situations, evaluate them with another and decide what actions might need to be taken, if any action at all. Obviously bashing someone to death isn't right- but I think talking out your small issues with another person can be helpful and avoid small arguments or problems.
This may seem out of left field for some of you, but really it's the truth. So I figured we could take a poll- who of you have talked about someone whom you love, trust, are friends with, etc? the thing is- all of you have.

a strange thing has been happening lately. and usually i don't like to get involved in controversy or confrontation... but this strange thing that has been happening is annoying me to the point where i might have to get involved. So, I don't want to point out the obviously, but I guess i should. Friends, Loved ones, relatives, co-workers( if i had them), crazy guy at ralphs- I Talk about YOU. I do. NO, I don't reveal deep dark secrets of yours- or anything done in confidence- But i have and probably will talk about you to someone else. And we will laugh, talk about it over dinner or lunch, for a while, or not long at all- but it will happen. I hope you don't mind. It's definitely not malicious. and i love all of you beyond words. so please stop fighting and getting upset. because when you are upset- it upsets me.

I guess this is stemming from events that have happened over the last week or so. One friend of mine in particular has become obsessed with other people talking about him. which is so odd to me, because he is a very confident, self assured guy- who i would never think would care one way or another. so i guess, i'm puzzled. I have found that some people, including some of my friends, don't know how to really talk to our friends about sensitive issues. so then craziness happens. which is why all these people have blogs. anyway- i'm going on and on- i'm annoyed. blah- i quit.
happiness tomorrow.

happy happy new year!

wow. i can't believe another year has come and gone. i can't believe that i'm not in college anymore and i can't believe i've spent five months in la already. this year has great things in store for it. chris is moving to la and i'm working with a commerical agent. i'm turning 23 this year, which i have to say, i'm not to excited for. but i'm positive that life is going to be pretty amazing this new year. i already got a compliment from jackson saying he liked my shirt i was wearing- so i'm saying things are already off to a great start.

christmas break was great. it's funny that i call it christmas break. i guess it still felt that way cause everyone went home for it. i didn't go home. my home came to me. My mom came the 24th and my dad and brother followed on the 26th. it was great spending so much time with them. then for new years, bob and i drove down with my family to san diego for a wonderfully delightful adventure. it rained a few days but we had a great time. played pool, saw walk the line, my dad and brother surfed- great time. i discovered that i really love documentaries, especially about house decorating or er/ bizarre surgeries. for instance we watched this show that documented a guy who was 759 pounds- which after watching i decided that i should eat healthier and also that i really feel pain for people that are that fat. what are they to do. the only things they love in life are food, and that is what is basically killing them. it's sad. i can't imagine.

i got a bunch of really cool stuff for christmas. one of the most amazing gifts, was this party girl's guide to throwing great parties-(or something along that line) it has every month and gives you ideas for about three parties you can throw each month along with food and costume ideas for each party. it's great. so, friends- we have a lot of parties to have.

anyway- this week i need to take my car in to get the brakes checked out, find a cool job, go shopping, and rest up for chris to come into town.

well kids, i think that is it for now. i hope everyone is thinking positive this new year and trying all new, exciting things that come your way. (within reason of course.) oh, and if i haven't told you lately.... i love you. all of you. :)
