10 Positives to Being Sick

As I have been laying around in bed for the past three days, it's given me a lot of time to contemplate things. I'm so thankful for this little break from reality. Being sick has actually been a pretty decent experience! Sadly, my cold is coming to an end, as I've hit the "nose faucet/sneezemachine" phase. My sinuses are draining like mad, and with it the pain and pressure are making an exit.

10 Plus-sides to having a cold

1. Now there's finally time to read that book that's been gathering dust upon the shelf.

2. It's a valid excuse to take a day off from work and/or school.

3. It helps train your body to fight back against even stronger microbes.

4. It's a valid excuse to avoid unwanted human contact/conversation.

5. You can sleep in bed all day.

6. Now there's finally a use for that unused box of tissues.

7. You might lose a little weight from all the energy your body is using to kill the microbes.

8. You regain an appreciation for tea.

9. If you're lucky, a significant other may surprise you with some soup and TLC.

10. If anyone pisses you off, you are now in the possession of a potential bio-warfare device.

Now I'm off to attempt reading "50 Shades of Grey." I have only read through the first paragraph and I can already tell the writing is absolutely awful. I want to gouge my eyes out. But I must persevere! がんばる！

By Popular Demand: Let me tell you about my life as a SEX SLAVE that enjoys giving blowjobs and gangbangs in my free time

If I had free time, apparently this is what I'd be doing.

Trololol!

In reality:

I only WISH my life were as interesting as Chelsea Handler's. Her books are amazing. "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea" was one of the best books I've ever read.

I'm currently reading "My Horizontal Life", which is her collection of one-night stands. This girl is hilarious! I cant go more than 10 pages without laughing out loud! She's an alcoholic, a sex-addict, and a pothead, yet it's sooooo funny because her personality is amazing! (Okay, and she has an unhealthy love for midgets.) One plus side to being sick is that I finally have some time to read again, and this is really a nice treat! ^_^

I like to imagine that I live vicariously through her.

Update: Just finished "My Horizontal Life," which ends with her giving up on her wild crazy excapades and actually considering forming more serious relationships. I didn't see that one coming! But I guess it is a book and books generally have some sort of conclusion, don't they? Well, now I guess I should move on to my next book: Catalyst, which is a Sci-Fi book about cats in space. Yeah, my taste in books is pretty diverse.....

Life, Love, and Future Possibilities

So much has changed in one year.

Yet still, there  is so much more that is soon to happen.


I have been dating my significant other, whom I've deemed as "Mr.Beardly" on my blogger, for the past seven months. Every day has only brought us closer together. I absolutely adore him! He's not perfect, but the time we have spent together makes me wonder why it seems other couples have so many fights and arguments. Why it seems some couples verbally abuse one another, or simply don't appear to appreciate the other's value.

Over the past few weeks, I've been thinking very seriously about my relationship. Everything seems so.... perfect. Every day I fall more in love with him. I am a bit embarrassed to admit this, but I've been thinking how happy I would be if I could be his wife. I tried to keep these feelings to myself as to not scare him off.

Shockingly, over this weekend... he has admitted to wanting to marry me someday.

I may be young, but I am not foolish, and neither is he. He's clearly stated that nothing will even be considered until after I have graduated and we have lived together for about a year or so. After all, knowing you can live under the same roof as someone and still enjoy their company is an important aspect of that kind of commitment.

But just to hear that someone wants to make that sort of commitment to me.... not just anyone, but the man I absolutely adore.... I'm so happy. I'm so happy, I don't know if I can ever complain about anything ever again. Today I've spent the entire day resting in bed after getting some sort of throat illness, but I can't complain: I have someone wonderful who loves me, who would be willing to spend the rest of his life with me. What did I ever do to deserve someone so wonderful as him?

Even if our relationship suddenly ends, I will still be happy that I was able to know him. I have changed so much because of him. He's taught me how to truly love another person, and how to allow myself to be loved.

If it wasn't for him, I dont know that I would have had the motivation to buy a car and get my drivers license. I'm no longer not only not afraid of the road, but I actually enjoy the drive to go see him.

Yesterday (Sunday) we spent the day together volunteering for the humane society. I had no idea what I was doing, they just told me to take a dog and the paperwork to a place and the people there would tell me what to do. I got there and the person in charge had no idea what was going on, but they let us walk the dog around. We ended up setting up the chairs and blanket at the farmers market. It was a lot of fun. The dog was such a sweetheart, and so many people came up to pet her and talk to us. It was a great experience. I think it was good for Mr.Beardly too. He loves dogs and he's seemed pretty depressed about not having a pet. It was so wonderful to see his face brimming with happiness while we were parading the dog around. It would be so awesome if someday I could see his face like that as we walked our own pets around, holding hands like a cheesy old couple.

I love him.
