Random thoughts

You know that one person in high school that was your ultimate BFF? The one you thought you'd be friends with literally, forever and ever? I had one of those and to this day, I honestly thought we'd be that close forever. But like many friendships, it ended shortly after graduation.

There was no fight, no major blow up, it was more like a quick moving glacier. I started dating the boyfriend that would later become the husband and it was time for a grown up relationship. And by that I mean, whenever she or I had a boyfriend and went on "dates" (cause really? No one actually dates in high school) we'd go as a threesome. Not the dirty kind either. So I started dating the boy and we just sorta drifted apart. I made several attempts to keep in touch with her and stay friends but she got mixed up with a group of people that weren't really what my mother would call "good kids" and that was the end of that.

I did run into her a few years ago, right about the time I got engaged and told her I really wanted her to be there. It wouldn't have been right if she wasn't there. Needless to say, that didn't happen. In fact, I haven't actually seen her since that day. But thanks to Facebook she's back. I got a message asking if we could get together and catch up. Part of me wants to but the other part of me is still bitter and just doesn't really care. I made all sorts of efforts and she didn't give a shit so why should I care?

I don't know. Maybe I should just do it and get it over with. Or maybe I'm just being over dramatic about the whole stupid thing. We'll see.

As I'm sitting here, listening to the Spice Girls (yes, I'm really listening to them). I can't help but be super excited for my sister to come home! I feel it'll be a Christmas like one from back in the day. When we were younger, our Christmas days were spent playing video games (Donkey Kong or Mario Kart) listening to Spice Girls or Jewel. And with the new Mario AND Donkey Kong games out this year I'm sure it'll be like that all over again.

And I ain't mad at it.

Also, I'm completely in love with these shoes. In fact, I almost bought them the other day but passed. I needed black pumps more than another pair of brown ones.



Speaking of being in love.(I don't know if Nikole reads this but this is where you can stop hahaha) I recently started watching 'Skins'. No, not the shitty MTV remake. The original version. So fucking good. It's sorta taken over my life and if I didn't love it so much, I'd be embarrassed to admit it but damn it, I love it and I'm not afraid to tell you. It's about a group of teenagers in Bristol who drink and smoke and do drugs and a ton of sex. Actually, I'm not sure if it's a TON of sex seeing as how that's what all the young kids are doing these days. Either way, the change up the cast every two years and........ugh. It's just so good. I loved the first two seasons with Sid and Cassie. That storyline, I just ate it up. But then season three started.

I'm telling you, from the first second I saw this kid, I fell in love. His name is Luke Pasqualino and I'm going to need someone to put him under my Christmas tree this year. Clothes are optional. Adding to the beautiful that he already is, the chemistry between him and Kaya Scodelario. OH MY FUCKING GOD! Any scene with the two of them, it's completely electric.

It's like watching Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman or Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh or for all your weird people who don't watch old movies James McAvoy and Keria Knightley. If you have no clue what I'm talking about you need to watch 'Casablanca', 'Gone with the Wind' or 'Atonement'. Once you do that, get back to me. You can feel it between these couples. That's not something you can fake.

With that said, I'd like to add Luke to my husband list. See, he's pretty.



And because I couldn't pick just one pretty.
