CLEARLY, it's been months since I've been able to write anything. Sometimes you just don't know what to write....or just how to write it. There are just so many things right now that I cannot complain about.
Can I just say that the feeling of being over someone that consumes your entire thoughts is one of the most uplifting feelings ever?! I'm just referring to men in general. My friends know that I fall easy and that I am better staying away from the bad ones at all costs. The petti-stuff always seems to consume my mind...which is why I am a true believer that woman fall for assholes. I don't know WHY THE HELL we do, but I do think a majority of us think that we can "change them."
After my last person of interest...I have found out a lot about myself. I think it takes a lot of strikes (more than 3) until someone is officially out of my game. But I hope that it doesn't take that many times again to realize that someone is not right for me.
I come from a Christian family and meeting someone that is very involved with their church can be intriguing. I fell for it...as most would, and was also hurt many times by the same person. He may or may not have known, because for some of us...just because we don't say or express how we feel doesn't necessarily mean that we don't feel it. (This would be easier to write about, but I currently have Bonnie bothering me about her trip to LA....that will never happen).
I know he is a good person but he just may not be the right person for me. I still think about him every day....even though he moved back home, but I know that I have to be strong just like every other girl has to and be proven that there IS someone else out there that is just as intriguing...and possibly better.
Thanks to Patti Stanger I have been able to be "happy" again with myself, because if you aren't happy with yourself then you will have a hard time making other people happy :)
Ok Ok....enough with the past...let's get on with the new!!!
Things have been going really good for me...except for school, but who cares about that.
After traveling to LA to visit some friends I feel like I've just come out of therapy or something...everything looks positive in my direction and I feel very happy right now. I refuse to let the little things piss me off because there is so much to look forward to. If all works out right I will be out of Lincoln, NE by August!!!! Another thing is that I got the chance to do some photography for an aspiring actor while I was in LA and also did a photoshoot of my friends. I don't know exactly what it is I want to do after graduation, but I really want to continue with my artistic abilities. It's when I'm the happiest. :)
My job seems to be going pretty well so far. Family is on good terms. So things are good...really good :) I'm so thankful for the friends I have. I am also thankful that I'm able to realize the important people in my life and am aware of the people who do nothing but create chaos and stress. You don't really realize it until those people are gone! I've been inspired by so many people lately and feel like something good is going to come out of all of this. Hard work pays off, connections are a must, and doing what you love best makes for a loving person.
I am truly inspired by one of my good friends, Josh. He comes from a very driven family that is very close. Josh has always been the type of person where (if it's in his way, he pushes it aside) because doing what's best for him in the longrun and looking out for his friends is what matters most. He has a good heart, hard working, and listens...most men don't unfortunately LOL. He always gets stuck with my excessive text messages, long phone calls for advice, irrelevant stories, and random antics. I was lucky to meet him freshman year along with my other friends...and with a few ups and downs our friendship has become pretty strong. Having a guy friend is totally different than having a girl as a friend, and even a boy friend. I've never had someone like that in my life and my brother is nearly 13 years younger than me. It's a good friendship that I wish everyone could have with someone.
As for Kelley....she is truly a one of a kind. I met her through my neighbor freshman year of college. She was such a total bitch, but because she was so funny I played kiss ass to her because I knew we would be best friends. I never get sick of her...although I bet she could say differently about me. She always makes me laugh and it never gets old.
Oh and I just came up with the coolest idea for my next art project....it has to do with braille!
That's all

Collaboration: What Men Should and Should NOT do {Written by Kallyn & Callie}
This last weekend I went out with a couple friends and one in particular was asking us to "hook him up" with someone. He was telling me that he wanted some advice about girls so I gave him some. I asked Kallyn to help me make a collaboration of some more. Asking some of the women we work with "What are some things that you think men should and shouldn't do," this is what we came up with.
*DO*
1. Open doors for any and all girls, regardless if you are attracted to them or not. It shows respect and that you are caring. You never know who could be watching.
2. Give complements. A complement from a man is way different than a complement coming from another woman and you will instantly see her being flattered.
3. BE THE HUNTER! A guy who goes out of his way for a girl will definitely be remembered. She will think of you instead of all that other nonsense that she thinks about constantly. (Women are thinkers!)
4. Have a car and/or a job. It doesn't matter what you do or have just as long as you have one. STUDENTS ARE EXCEPTIONS! (when you are in college it's more acceptable) It just shows that you have the things you need and won't be dependent on anyone else. An independent man is attractive.
5. Personal Maintenence: Learn it, live it, love it. Women are known to have a stronger sense of smell than men. They will notice if you are stinky and will definitely notice if you smell nice ;)
6. Make eye contact. When you don't make eye contact it shows insecurity, nervousness, and that you aren't listening. Your confidence will make her confident. Plus...it's sexy.
7. LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN!!!! If she is talking too much that is one thing...cut her off, but when she is telling you something it's polite to pay attention to her and give feedback.
8. Be creative. Coming up with new things makes her think you are fun and adventurous. No one likes a broken record.
9. Say what you mean and mean what you say. If you tell her that you are going to do something that weekend then own up to it. You blow her off and she will never forget that. If it's a MAYBE, then make that clear and tell her that it isn't going to happen if you don't plan on it. No one likes waiting around.
10. Texting: We all know it's hard to tell the meaning behind what it said, but if you inititate it...FINISH IT!
11. Find a 100 reasons to buy her flowers. THAT is charming!
12. If you ask her out then you should pay for her. Even if she says "Oh I'll pay for myself" don't let her. Women like for men to be "In charge" at first. After you become more comfortable with eachother is when it's good to trade off.
13. If you are sorry then say it. Something with men about saying the words "I'm Sorry" means more than saying "woops..my bad." It means a lot!
*DON'T*
1. Gift Cards. Major no no for the first 3 dates. Unless you mention that you have one ahead of time and that you need to use it, don't whip it out last minute (that's what she said) when the bill arrives! Terribly Tacky.
2. Don't be a creep monster. Too much too fast is far fetched and won't last.
3. If you are interested in her, don't talk about other women. She will end up thinking you have wandering eyes and a wandering mind.
4. Don't be rude to the server or leave her a skimpy tip. It's plainly embarrassing. Always 20%. It's the millenium Gentlemen.
5. Don't just drop the woman off. If you are classy you will walk her to her door after taking her home.
6. NO GAME ON THE FIRST DATE! If you stay reserved it shows you like her for who she is and not what she's "got."
7. Farting or burping is not allowed when you first meet them. Later on if they are open to it...ok fine. But the first time? TOO comfortable for her.
8. Don't be just the funny or hard-headed guy. Show emotions and that you have a real side to you.
9. Don't be just the sentimental guy. Show that you have some sort of sense of humor and make her laugh. Like number 8, mix it up!
10. Don't ONLY text message!!! A phone call is personal and hearing the other person's voice makes it easier to get your point across. Text messaging can ruin relationships by relaying the wrong message.
