Dream casting for Fifty Shades of Grey.

I don't even know if they're making it into a movie, but I started reading Fifty Shades of Grey so of course I have some dream castings in mind.

Christian Grey --> Matt Bomer
Anastasia Steele --> Melissa Benoist
Katherine Kavanagh --> Dianna Agron or Blake Lively
Elliot Grey --> Alex Pettyfer
Jose Rodriguez --> Diego Luna?
Ray --> Josh Hopkins



And there it is. My dream casting for a movie that may or may not exist in time.

You're welcome world.

2013 New Year's Resolutions.

1. Lose more weight. I lost [about] 30 pounds last year! I actually did it! Better look at your window...I think I see pigs flying! Last year was the FIRST TIME EVER I can say I did that New Year's Resolution. Go me!
2. Workout just a little more. Ever since starting my new job (holla!), I've been too tired to workout. I need to do it more.
3. Learn chess. This one's back for the 3rd year in a row, or 4th or 5th. Who knows. I should probably learn chess.
4. Learn how to use chopsticks. Another resolution that's back.
5. Travel. I really do want to travel.
6. Find [and keep] a boyfriend. I had one for about 7 months. Bad timing I think. I might do Match.com; I'm not opposed.
7. Move out. Maybe.
8. Eat more apples. A little random? Yes.
9. Write in my blog more. I'm not avoiding you, I swear. I've just been busy.
10. Take more pictures. Sorry camera, I've been neglecting you! 

I want to travel.

I want to travel to the following places:

• Hawaii
• Ireland
• New York (again)
• Australia
• Alaska

Yeah, I should get on that.

Rough [sports] weekend...

Well, this has been a TERRIBLE sports weekend for me. The Yankees are now 0-2 against Detroit. Derek Jeter is out for the rest of the postseason (I still can't believe it). The Patriots lost to the Seahawks in a game they should have won. And half the players on my fantasy football team forgot to show up and play. Yeah, I'm gonna go cry now. Haha

Jeter out for remainder of postseason :( :(

Derek Jeter went to field a ground ball to his left and went down in pain.

I was hoping it was a typical Jeter move, and he would get up shaking off the pain (like he always does).

But that did not happen.

He fractured his left ankle and will miss the remainder of the postseason. I hope that Jeter is not done yet! After more tests, I hope he'll be in the dugout cheering and coaching his teammates like the great player that he is.

This is a sad blow to the team and Derek, but now someone needs to step up.

COME ON YANKEES! YOU CAN DO THIS!

Yankees win!!!

The Yankees just beat the Orioles!!! They're heading to the ALCS!

I'm sooooo excited!


GO YANKEES!

Psych needs to come back!

I love this show! It's hilarious in a silly, kiddish way.

It's good TV, and it needs to come back!

I can just picture this scene...too funny!

Gus: Who are we chasing? 
Shawn: Jack Atwater. A detective who used to work with my dad. 
Gus: How old is he? 
Shawn: At least seventy! 
Gus: Then why can't we catch him? 
Shawn: I don't know! I don't eat well, and I don't exercise. What's your excuse? 
Gus: I don't do well at high altitudes! 
Shawn: What are you talking about? 
Gus: You know, like Denver. 
Shawn: We're not in Denver! 
Gus: Just run, Shawn!

I need to step it up!

Ahhh! This weight-loss thing is hard! I'm at another plateau...now it's time to step it up!

I can do this. I've made it this far.

Let's go! :D

Letter #12

From the book, "P.S. I hate it here! Kids' letters from camp".

Dear Mom & Dad,

I just got back from the trip! It was not bad. It didn't suck but it was good and fun. Unfortunately there was sometimes when I did really stupid things and the counselors got pissed. And there was sometimes when I did smart things and the counselors were happy with me. It was really tiring but I know I have bigger muscles. I liked the trip a lot.

These are some fun things I did:
1. Camped on a remote island
2. Jumped off the Essex Bridge
3. Saw sweet looking waterfalls

These are some things that made me proud (I might overreact):
1. Canoed until my fingers bled
2. Carried a 50 lb pack on a trail for a mile

Love ya
Bye

Sincerely,
Ben  

Letter #11

From the book, "P.S. I hate it here! Kids' letters from camp".

Dear Mom & Dad,

You know me, I complain, but once I get somewhere I usually have fun. This is not fun. I am not exaggerating when I say this is the worst week of my life ever. Camp sucks!! Why? I am homesick. I know kids but not well enough to follow them around every day. Yesterday, I went to Jordan and started blubbering like a baby and said I want to go home. He said that wasn't an option. I can't take this for much longer though. I want you to make Jordan let me leave!! Please, I am begging you. I am embarrassed to say I cry every day. This is not a camp from my dreams. It is the 100th level of hell. Save me or else I will get out of here by doing something stupid. I am not joking. I hate this stupid camp. I am getting out of here. Write me. I NEED MORE STAMPS. Save me!!! I am out of stamps.

Love,
Zach 

Letter #10

From the book, "P.S. I hate it here! Kids' letters from camp".

Dear Mom and Dad,

I love camp. I'm having fun! I got your letter. There's no forbidden cabin, and I didn't get dropped off in the desert!

Letter #9

From the book, "P.S. I hate it here! Kids' letters from camp".

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

I am really really homesick. I know you want me to have fun but I can't! I am sitting on my steps to the cabin crying. I HATE IT HERE! The letter before this about me starting to have fun was not true. I just wanted you to be happy and proud of me! I am miserable here. Please come pick me up. I am starting to forget your voices. I just really really really really really want to come home! I did 5 reallys for the 5 of us. If you want to be mean by keeping me here, fine. But DON'T sign me up again. I need to live my life.

Love your daughter that needs you,
Piper

P.S. Come pick me up or you would be so so soooo mean.

Letter #8

From the book, "P.S. I hate it here! Kids' letters from camp".

Dear Mom & Dad,

The second you left I ran to write a letter to tell you how many friends I made. One kid is playing other kids for $50 in poker. 1 kid lost $10. But don't worry I didn't play. If I did I would play the house.

Miss you,
Sam

P.S. Dad that poker set could have been useful after all.

Letter #7

From the book, "P.S. I hate it here! Kids' letters from camp".

Dear Mom and Dad,

You said in an email that you haven't gotten any letters from me. That doesn't make sense because I sent you like 12. I think I mite have messed up the return address. Anyways my first session trip was great and I'm looking forward to my second session trip. I've been finding a lot of things in the lake. I found two knifes and a bunch of old glass soda bottles that I either give people or sell them for pops.

Zack

93 days...

...until the first day of Fall!!

I wish it would come sooner! :-/

Letter #6

From the book, "P.S. I hate it here! Kids' letters from camp".

Dear Mommy & Daddy,

Yesterday me & my friends jumped in the pool with our clothes on. It was really fun! I also have some funny/bad news. Rachel dumped me but the funny news is that she's dating her cousin. Ha Ha Ha loser.

Love,
Mikey

Letter #5

From the book, "P.S. I hate it here! Kids' letters from camp".

Dear Mom,

Why haven't you sent me a letter? Everyone else has gotten at least one but I haven't. I am really worried who died? What happened? Is anything wrong? WRITE BACK!!

Love,
Meredith

Supreme 90 Day.

I just ordered Supreme 90 Day. I hope it's a good workout!!

I needed a new workout, and this is a much cheaper version of P90X.


Can't wait til it gets here...let's so this! :D

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Dad! Love you!

Letter #4

From the book, "P.S. I hate it here! Kids' letters from camp".

Dear Jess,

How do you like the card? Mom picked it out. It was going to be for my birthday. My birthday is in two days. Sorry I didn't write you much. I just had some powerade, it went down the wrong tube and I coughed it up. It took a lot of napkins to clean it up.

Mitch

Letter #3

From the book, "P.S. I hate it here! Kids' letters from camp".

Dear Mom and Dad,

I have a really really REALLY BAD ingrown toenail. It is killing me. When we get home get a doctors appointment PLEASE.

Lots of love,
Piper

P.S. See you @ play!!

P.S.S. DON'T sign me up next year!!

Letter #2

From the book, "P.S. I hate it here! Kids' letters from camp".

Dear Momy, Dad,

I got Harry Potter. It's amazing, everyone dies. Just kidding. I haven't finished it yet. Thanks for the Hulk comics, they're awesome. Thanks also for the goggles even though the mask is huge. Camp is great. It's hot as hell here. I think I've gained weight here. I'm fat. The food sucks, but I still eat it.

Adios,
Mikey

Letter #1

I got this book out of the library ("P.S. I hate it here! Kids' letters from camp"); I feel like it was meant for me! Haha

I'll be posting some funny letters, and here's the first one


Dear Mom,

Day 5 of camp is a lot better. The rash on my P-nus is gone, and now I can run. My friends hate when I say eggs so I'm trying to stop saying it.

Love,
Josh

I'm ready.

I'm ready for a big change.

I think I NEED a big change.

Possibly something to do with my job. But I'll take anything. Although, it has to be a GOOD change. Hehe.

Need a kick in the butt!

I'm at a weight-loss plateau! I'm holding steady but not really losing weight.

I need a swift kick in the butt to lose some more weight! :-/

Current favorite songs.

"Payphone" - Maroon 5
"Call Me Maybe" - Carly Rae Jepsen
"What Makes You Beautiful" - One Direction
"Wide Awake" - Katy Perry

Almost to 30!

I've lost almost 30 pounds...holy freakin' moly! I never thought this day would come; I really didn't. I'm SO proud of myself for actually losing the weight.

I'm smiling more.
I'm more confident.

I should have done this sooner haha.

Go me! And I still need to keep it going! I'm not at my goal yet...but I'm getting there! :D

Current favorite things.

• Glee's version of "How Will I Know"
• Draw Something. I bought a stylus, and it makes me love the app even more! It's so addicting.
• Spending time with a certain someone. Hehe.
• My workout of running a mile then kickboxing for 30 minutes. It really makes me sweat, and it's a good workout.

140s :)

I'm officially in the 140s!

I really do love this whole losing weight thing; it makes me feel good.


:)

Glee's "Big Brother" episode.

For anyone who knows me, they know I've been DYING to see this episode for 7 weeks. Here's why:

• Matt Bomer was guest starring. I love him on White Collar, and hey, it's Matt Bomer. Can you say sexy?
• Matt Bomer was playing Blaine's older brother. How much sexiness can be in one family? Well, apparently a lot.
• The episode was going to revolve around Blaine/Darren Criss (my favorite!). And of course that meant more songs for Darren! :D

After watching the episode, this is what I have to say: IT WAS AMAZING! It was everything and more. The episode was mostly about Blaine and his brother, but it still addressed other issues (ie. Quinn's car accident). Matt Bomer did a great job. He was hilarious, and he fit perfectly on the show. The music in this episode was great as well. I loved Darren and Matt's duet of "Somebody That I Used To Know". I must have listened to this song like 50 times before the episode even aired. Matt can sing! They sounded great together.

I'm not sure if I like Quinn in a wheelchair though. I don't want Glee to over push that. I think they should have showed flashbacks with her injured or in the hospital, and I think she should have been in a wheelchair initially, but having both her and Artie in wheelchairs now seems a little pushed.

I'm a little biased about this episode since I love Blaine/Darren Criss and Matt Bomer, but I would definitely give it a 10/10 haha.

Darren Criss/Matt Bomer

Thank you Glee for releasing this today!!! I've watched the video numerous times already haha...so much hotness in one video <3

"Somebody That I Used To Know" :)


I love the Anderson brothers, and the episode hasn't even aired yet! Ha ;)

Tired of trying.

I thought friendships were a two-way street.

I'm tired of trying to be someone's friend when they are distance and barely talk to me. I can't do it anymore. It's annoying and exhausting.


I'm done trying. It's their turn.

Darren Criss...and Kermit the Frog?

Darren Criss and Kermit the Frog performed "Rainbow Connection" during E!'s Academy Awards Pre-show.



Darren Criss is so adorable.


<3

Kurt probably. I do like Kurt, but he's not a favorite or anything.

The character I love that everyone else hates:

Maybe Mercedes. She got annoying at one point, but she's getting better.

I'm doing it...

I'm losing weight! Slowly, but surely! I've lost 6 pounds so far; I've changed my eating habits.


This is hard though; it sucks.

But I'm doing it! I'm actually doing it!



I CAN do this...

I can.

:)

Darren Criss.

I can't even explain how much I love Darren Criss right now.

I love that he plays a gay character (Blaine) on TV; makes me love him even more.

He's just so adorable.

I CAN'T WAIT for the episode where Matt Bomer (who I also love!) guest stars as his older brother. I read that the episode is going to mainly focus on Blaine; let the heart palpitations begin. I am BEYOND excited.




I think I'm obsessed.

Maybe.

Yes.

I love Blaine.

Retro sunglasses.

I just orderd 5 pairs of colorful, "retro" sunglasses. I'll admit, it's partly because Darren Criss wears them, BUT it's also because I like them too. I already have a pair of black ones (with orange). I have wanted more colors, but I think seeing Darren Criss wear them has made me want to buy some more.

Darren is known for wearing pink ones (see picture below), but I would never buy pink haha...as much as I love him and his fashion, pink is not for me.

I can't wait until they get here! Should be in a week or so.

MyFitnessPal.

My friend told me about this app that counts calories for you. You can log what you eat and what exercises you do during the day. You log in your weight and how much you want to lose, so the app tells you how many more calories you have in the day for you to make your goal weight.

It's really cool! It's also free, and you can check your food diary online too!


It's called MyFitnessPal.

I like it so far! I just hope I can keep up with it! :)

I love Wes Welker :)

I hate that Wes Welker is trending on Yahoo's home page, and not for a good reason.

Yes, I wish Wes had caught the ball in the 4th quarter, but football is a TEAM sport. You win and lose as a TEAM. I hate that people are blaming him for the loss.

I'm still a Wes Welker fan, and I'm a proud Patriots fan.


It's one game people. Yes, it was the Super Bowl, but the Patriots were lucky to even go. They beat the Ravens last week (thank God!), but their defense has been shaky all season. I'm just glad they made it to the end.

Patriots <3
Wes Welker <3

The Patriots lost :(

The Patriots lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl tonight.

The final score was 17-21.

At least it was a pretty good game.



I do not like the Giants. Or Eli Manning.

Current favorite things.

• "Wanna Be Startin' Something" - Glee's version
  
• "Bad" - Glee's version
• "Smooth Criminal" - Glee's version
• "Black or White" - Glee's version
• Blaine Anderson (character on Glee)
• Darren Criss (actor who plays Blaine Anderson on Glee)
• The TV show 'Grimm'
• The TV show 'A Gifted Man'
  

Patriots are going to the Super Bowl!!!

It was a close game (can you say heart attack?), but they came out on top!! It was more of a Ravens loss then a Patriots win, but I'll take it!!

The Patriots are going to the Super Bowl! woot woot!

Patriots vs. Ravens.

The Patriots and Ravens will be playing each other next Sunday in the AFC Championship. As a Patriots fan living in Maryland, this should be interesting!

GO PATRIOTS!!!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday to me!!!!

and to my twin sister Kayla! :)

Workout calendar.

I'm starting a workout calendar where I write down workouts for the month. I'm hoping this can kind of keep me on track with working out. I want to do it more consistently so I think this is a good way to start. If I complete the workout, I'll fill in the box orange.

I'm also going to start weekly weighs in and have that on the chart as well.


Ugh, maybe this is the year I lose weight. Like a lot of weight.

We'll see.

Autocorrects.
