How to Twitter.

I just found out about this website a couple of days ago, it's called Texts From Last Night. And you can sort of get the jist of it from the title I think but people send in text conversations that they've had and the website sort of edits it down to a line or two and then they post them on the site. It's a lot like FML, like you can click whether they had a good night or a bad night, but the site is still unique, like each text shows what area code it came from. Some texts are mildly weird and others are downright unusual but most of them are entertaining (and a large handful are somewhat raunchy). Anyways I was looking at the site tonight and I came across a text that just made me laugh out loud. And I also like it because there's no sexual references or explicit language, it's actually quite innocent but really funny and adorable. Anyways hope others enjoy it too:

I Believe in a Thing Called Love.

So, yesterday I was reading another blog and they mentioned acouple who used a kiddie pool in their engagement photos and it came out to be the most adorable shoot ever! There was a link on that blog that took me to Glamour magazine's website where there was an article about the photos and that article led me to the blog and professional website of the photographer. I then proceeded to spend about an hour perusing through random strangers engagement and wedding photos. Which when said out loud, seriously makes me question how creepy I am. But anyways, the pictures were beautiful and breathtaking in every possible way- everything could be summed up in the couple's eyes. This sounds cheesy, but it was so hard to stop looking at the hundreds of photos because the love between the couples just radiated past the camera lens and off the screen. I'm not one of the girls who fantasizes about her wedding day and knows what her perfect dress is, what her bridesmaids will wear, or what the reception will look like, but I think the only thing that will matter is the guy at the end of the aisle. Weddings are so beautiful whether they're in a grand cathedral, on the beach, or at city hall; weddings are beautiful because of the marriage they create and the decision of two individuals to spend the rest of their lives together is just something magical really. 
I am so going to be a wedding crasher one day.
Jeremy Grey: Grab that net and catch that beautiful butterfly, pal! What do 
you like better, Christmas or Wedding Season?

Jeremy raises his hand] 
John Beckwith: Mr. Grey? 
Jeremy Gray: Yes. The answer would be, um, Wedding Season?
John Beckwith: Bingo! I'm gonna get my suit. Now who are we this time? 


Does anyone else feel remotely similar about weddings/marriages? Or am I just extremely idealistic and unrealistic?
Cheers!

Hello World.

Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted, a really long time. I kept meaning to, but never got around to it. But here I am at last! And I don't really have much to say, so I thought I'd share this video that my friend sent me, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLdQ3UhLoD4
I don't know how to put it directly in the post, because technology doesn't like me a third of the time. I suggest you watch it though, it puts a smile on my face every time!

I want a slow loris! It's so adorable! The information says they have sharp teeth and pee everywhere, but I don't really care, it's the cutest thing ever! Also I saw a stuffed animal in Claire's the other week that looked exactly like it and I was really tempted to get one, but I didn't.
Now see all of that made no sense unless you've seen the video already, so go watch it, and (hopefully) smile or laugh!

Cheers!
