Happy Holidays to me...

So yesterday started out as a very good day, spending it with my best friend doing some Black Friday shopping and having lunch and then watching Australia (which was AMAZING!- looong, but amazing none the less!) Only to come home to a VERY brief letter from my roommate saying that he had moved out to go back to his ex wife and that he was sorry. Well, thats great for the apology and all, however, I was left with no money for Dec. rent, nor for his part of Nov. electric! Happy Holidays Casey!! Oh, and to top it off, he left most of his stuff!! And not nicely put away in our empty storage closet, but rather strung around throughout the apt. So needless to say I needed to blow off a little steam!! Well, earlier that day my friends Stephen and TJ had made plans with me to go out since none of us worked today besides stephen but just for day parade. Anyway, we went out and had a GREAT time!! And along the way, we ran into my ex who I had not seen since the breakup (spoken to off and on) but not seen. I was actually quite glad to see him, until his best friend decided to start lecturing me on why I didn't call Danny on his birthday!! Thats nice he is trying to be a good friend, but don't be ridiculous about things!! Well, to say the least yesterday was an EXTREMELY eventful day, and tonight the 3 amigos strike again!! This night we ride incognito to- Tampa! Unless I have drinks bought for me I will most likely be VERY sober seeing as I have absolutely NO extra curricular activity finances due to my recent predicament! Thats it for now! Signing off. Oh PS - GO SEE AUSTRALIA!!!!

26th Birthday!!

So yesterday was my 26th birthday and though I had major reservations about turning another year older, I must say that I had a great time doing it!! Tuesday night I had my dinner/bowling party due to a busy schedule of other parties this week, and although the original choice of dinner locations (Tu Tu Tangos) fell through, we still had a great time at Don Pablos right across the street! After that we went cosmic bowling and more people joined us there making a total of about 30 people so it was a lot of fun and I can't say how thankful I am for all my friends! Then yesterday, actually on my birthday I laid around and did absolutely nothing during they day besides organize pics from the night before and then last night I went to the 3rd annual Thanksgiving Pot Luck (8 days early) at my friends' Kelli, Brandon, Katie, and Jon's new house. I had some great food there and took my new ipod mic stand that my parents got me for my bday and at the end of the night we started playing around with it and testing it out. All in all the celebrations were a great success. There were a few people who didn't make it to my party that I was bummed about, however I am still quite happy with the people who did! And as far as the age thing goes, its just a number and its all about how old you feel! Most days I feel younger, but somedays I feel MUCH older! Look out 26, I am ready for ya!

A new found suprising obsession!

Well to begin with let me define my use of the word obsession! What I am refering to has kept me pretty occupied the past couple of days and has shockingly left me wanting and looking forward to more of it! What is it you ask?! Well on a whim I decided to rent the first two discs (first 8 episodes) of season 1 of Gossip Girl. Somehow this cliche saga of what it is supposedly like to be a rich, private ivy league school, upper east side NYC teenager has sucked me in! The acting is decent for what it is and the story lines are so Soap Opera drama, twist and turny, but I still have managed to get grossly "addicted" to whats gonna happen next! Before that the only TV show that had really kept me waiting for more (besides AI and SYTYCD) was the drama of my favorite ladies from Wysteria Lane aka Desperate Housewives. But it seems as though I can now add these teens to my list! PS, although no one besides my wonderful mom as far as I know has read any of these blogs yet, if you do and you happen to watch the show, don't you DARE try to spoil any of what happens for me or there will be severe consequences!!

When do you stop trying?

So throughout my dating career, I have found myself a number of times "trying too hard" in every sense of that statement. In almost every other aspect of life I tend to think of myself as someone who is very easy going and who doesn't let peoples feelings or mixed signals bother me too much. I hardly ever think to myself why does this friend not want to hang out with me, or what is it about me that makes my boss not like me, or is this friend just being nice to me because they are too nice of a person to just not be friends with me. Those are just a few examples of questions that I don't ever ask myself....except when it involves someone who I am really "interested" in, then I begin to find myself asking TONS of questions! Keep in mind it only happens when I REALLY like someone so the amount of people this has happened for is only a handful or so. Well, without revealing too much, I must say I have found myself in that predicament again! I have found myself going through entire days stewing over silly trivial things. I won't reveal all the trivial questions i ask myself so that I don't make myself look like a complete loser, but I will say, I have it bad and don't know how to read the signs or handle the situation!

Getting Things Done

So today is my first day off in many days and although I really wanted to sleep in till midafternoon, my body decided to wake up at 9:30 and refused to go back to sleep! So I figured might as well be productive and do some of the errands/tasks I had planned on holding off to do until tomorrow. Wth that said, I am glad I got as much done as I did today. It is always refreshing to have that sense of accomplishment and knowing that now you have the next 2 days off to just relax! I look at it now like I should have back in high school which was doing your homework on Fri. before the football game so you have all weekend to goof around with your friends or just chill! I am also looking forward to going for sushi then to the movies tonight to see Nick and Norahs... It has been AGES since I have been to the movies and I am use to going at least one a week! Plus I have an obsession for the popeye roll and THE FLAVOR OF LOVE roll at Fuji sushi so that is just another added bonus to the night!

First entry

So on a total chance, I am seeing how well I can pick up this whole blog website scenario that it seems all of my friends are doing! I will keep this blog short but stay tuned for more to come hopefully!
