Valentine's Day 2010!!!

So I haven't seen the new Valentine's Day movie yet but I will be very soon...A Romantic Comedy which by the way is an oxymoron...but that is totally fine anyways because the movie should ROCK!!! With a kick ass cast like this one how could it not!!

Though my day went surprisingly awesome....Saturday night after work I went over to Watterson to hang with the Bestie Alicia!!!  We played pool and started to plan our 3OH!3 and Cobra Starship Concert Trip!!! Speaking of we still gotta purchase our 1980's white hip/hop shades and go outfit shopping...we are thinking Hot Topic; maybe some neon colored skinny's, big high top Converse with neon shoelaces, a big 3OH!3 or Cobra Starship T-shirt, and of course the sunglasses!!!

In the planning of this concert Alicia and I have combined the 3OH!3 and Cobra starship symbols to create our own... 3♥3 Fo life!

Then On Sunday morning the day of Valentine's Day her and I went out to Medici's for brunch..she had an amazing spinach lasagna and I had fettichini alfredo with musrooms...I was lucky enought to pick a restaurant that had free Mimosa's during brunch!!! Yummy my first legal Mimosa, sad my momma wasn't there she would've been so proud!

Oh This year has been great turning 21, being in a college town where there only is bars and clubs and I am old enough... I had a great 21st birthday with my family and my friends down here at ISU.

(Left: Me and My Mom at Outback Steakhouse On my 21st Birthday)

Sorry to get off track I am just so excited when I have certain drinks at certain places with certain people for the first time!!! I'm sure this hype will die down...Or not!


On on a more immediate note as I am writing this blog i'm downloading music as always...I think I upload at least ten new songs a day, What can I say "I ♥ Music"

But anyways back to my Valentine's Day...after brunch Alicia and I went into an old fashioned comic book store across the street and broused around for gifts for our men...she bought her boyfriend Batman comics and I bought my special Valentine Star Wars Comics; yes the man i'm into right now is a Star Wars Fanatic! It's totally cute and at least he has something that I know he likes and I can't go wrong if I go from there!

My Sexy Man has to come visit me in order to get them...he's told me he's free in about 3 weeks so maybe then him and I will get to meet up in Chicago to have dinner and hang out....I never realized that I could miss someone so much, it's been so long that there's been a guy that i'm interested in enough to actually want to talk to him everyday.

Work that night wasn't so bad but hey at least I made good money and thats all I care about...I hated working those stupid To-Go shifts because I made no money and felt I put in more effort than serving.

To wrap up this entry as i've promised I will start each Monday off with a Topic of the Week  so this week is the first Topic and I shall choose:

THOSE WHO'VE AFFECTED ME

Tomorrow I will have part of my entry talking about the people who mean alot to me, who influenced me, who've come in and out of my life and the ones i've meet that maybe I wish I hadn't or wish I could forget...Stay tunned for the intriguing Diary entries of Carilynna Na'vi!!!

Peace & ♥

Organized...To Be or Not To Be?

As some of you well know I am a very organized person...I don't have OCD or ADD or any sort of mental disease that makes me this way it's just who I am.  I find it helps to be so that way i'm not as stressed.  I have a crazy hectic busy life everyday.  My mind is constantly thinking about things one hour, one day or even one week or month in advanced.  I like it that way!

I live by calanders and date books and notes on post-its all around my room of daily and weekly reminders.  My phone is my lifeline, if I didn't have a calender on their or a notepad I would drive myself crazy.  Currently since there are so many avenue's of reminders and notes everyway i've decided to put them in print.

My To-Do List:
  • Pick up Girl Scout Cookies from Kim @ Chili's
  • Go to hair salon to get my hair dyed dark reddish-purple (It looks better that way)
  • Maybe try out hair extensions because I am soooooo sick of my short hair
  • Get my nails fixed
  • Get a much needed message
  • Go get a facial with Bestie Alicia
  • Hit up the mall for some skinny jeans and regular jeans, mine currently are getting worn out
  • Go shopping for Sam's baby shower gift and Mom's birthday gift
  • Save up $$ for 3OH!3 Concert and possible a road trip to Cedar Point with Alicia
  • Have Ashley ship my camera to me
  • Post up my Subleaser signs and get one asap
  • Sign the lease for my new apartment in June
Here is just a few things that I really wanna go do in the near future:
  • Take up Rob's consideration for a road trip to Manhattan!!
  • Go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras someday
  • Visit Las Vegas with my girls next year so we can officially celebrate our 21st Birthdays the right way!!
  • Go with my cousins Ashley and Ali to visit Grandpa Keller in Missouri while we can
In the mean time while life is kind of settled and dull I will just have to concentrate on my classes this semester!!

My class schedule is a whole lot better than last semesters; this time I am enrolled in several more law classes than politics;

Politics 138: Quantative Reasoning
Politics 322: Domestic Law
Politics 372: Employment Law
Language 116: French
Physics 102: Astronomy

I am hoping for all A's and B's and so far I think I am accomplishing that, I really need to step up my game.  I will definatly be going to see tudors especially for my 138 class because it is like a statistics class and I believe I have already taken a class like this last year I don't want it to comprise my GPA.  Well it's time I sign off because I have to shower to get ready for work tonight, and then I have to go check my mail and deliver some myself...

Peace and ♥ Carilynna

Seriously 2 Days Before Valentine's Day???

Well here I am, off of work before 9 pm and I am bored out of my mother fucking mind!!!  I went to Jewel after and picked up a few necessary cards and gifts for a select few loved ones for Valentine's Day, I cannot wait to go see the movie Valentine's Day tomorrow; yes all by myself but what can I do my only 'technical' Valentine is living in another state far away and has to work this weekend...such a bummer :(

I'm a trooper though...I know that love is around me and love will find me soon! So i'm keeping my chin up and smiling and someday I won't even remember that Valentine's Day is just around the corner because my true love will remind me himself with either of following well excepted gifts specific to this lovey dovey holiday:

     1.) flowers (Red Roses of Course!)
     2.) a beautiful card with a hand written sentiment
     3.) maybe some chocolates (only the good kind: Fannie May or Ghiradelli)
     4.) a hug fluffy stuffed animal wouldn't hurt
     5.) or better yet pink, ruby or diamond jewelry (Any kind doesn't matter!). 

I'm of course over exaggerating becausing typically and go dancing or to a movie after...I'm not picking I just cannot wait to find someone again who wants to show how special and wonderful I am not just on Valentine's Day but everyday!!!!

So for you future lovers and boyfriends of mine out there here is just a few notes of appreciate I would not frown upon..however if you were more of a fanatic of the more outrageous and really romantic gifts anything from the following would be accepted in my eyes:

   1.) naming a star after me
   2.) recording a song for me whether it's your own or not
   3.) baking me any sort of sweet and chocolaty treat
   4) making me a nice candlelight dinner
   5.) dancing tango, or samba or waltz with me anywhere

Enough about Valentine's Day because i'm beginning to get a little depressed here.  On a more happier note this weekend isn't just Valentine's Day but it is also my most favorite aunts' birthday!!!

This is to you Aunt Linda...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR AUNT LINDA!   HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOOUUUUUUUU!!!!!

I wish I could drive home yeah I said it DRIVE home because I realy cannot stand this stupid suspended license bit any longer, I want my car and I am sick and tired of being stranded and feeling like I'm 100% out of control of more than half my life.  I want to be home this weekend to see my mom (Dianne) and my sister (Jennifer), my brothers (Bradley & Mitchell), my niece (Audrey) and whole bunch more of my family and friends from back home.

Until then I will have to stick it out...turns out I cannot go home until February 26th because it's my friend Sam's Baby Shower!!! Another one bites the dust!

This week hasn't been so bad, classes went quick and they were pretty good.  I got a test grade and a quiz grade back and I didn't really good!!!

Monday nights Make It or Break It and Greek was amazing of course!!! I watched America's Best Dance Crew Western Regionals and cannot wait for the national official competition to start next Thursday!!!  Until then I am going to go cuddle on my couch and watch a little TV before I work a double shift tomorrow!!!

Peace Out, Spread the LOVE!!!!  J'adore tout le monde ♥

Enuf Said!

My ♥ Skips A Beat For You!

Since I will not be starting the Topic of the Week until next monday i'm just going to write about random stuff until then....

My life is going great so far, I am in the exact place I wanna be in and I am doing exactly what I need to do for myself.  Its been so long since i've thought about my self first and foremost before others.  It seems that for the past five years everyone else's drama, trauma's, dilemna's and issues mattered more than mine.  I gave my devotion, attention, advice and energy into ex boyfriends, friends or ex-friends and classmates.  What's worse is that it has also involved family too! Don't get me wrong I love and respect my family and those close people and friends to me but sometimes you have to ask yourself "What about me?".

I believe it's time I ask myself what I Need, I Want, and I Deserve.  For those of you who know me, then you know that this doesn't make me sound selfish.  You all know that that is not the type of person I am.  And it's true! I'm not a selfish or conceded person.  To be fair I kinda have the right to be right now because I am taking a break from what seems to be the job within my personality that I am best at.

I am and will always be here for my friends and family who wana ask my advice or for my opinion or especically to those who just want to share their lives with me and their news with me.  But maybe once in a while during a certain conversation whether through MySpace message, Facebook Chatting, E-Mail, Text or Phone Call they would like to seriously and lovingly ask me if there is something on my mind or how i'm feeling.

Currently there is only a small group of people who do this without me ask or insuating.  Especially my Mom! Yes I said it.  My mom always cares and is always concerned for me and is always excited to hear how i'm doing and it's not just because I am away at school or or because i'm living on my own but because well I am her pride and joy!

So for anyone who is thinking of me for a moment let me just say something...since this online diary is for the purposes to express my feelings, thoughts or opinions even if no one else reads this except me then at least it serves it's purpose for me.

I have this strong feeling and a strong attraction towards a particular person, to keep him private until I recieve his permission or until I believe it is karmically safe to reveal him and I will refer to him as Jakesully!

This Jakesully is currently someone I miss terrible.  Everything about him makes me happy and makes me smile.  I think about him and the past adventures i've shared with him.  Everytime I get a message from him I always laugh because he always puts jokes along with everything he says!!!!

Jakesully sometimes makes me speechless or gives me writers block so much to the point that I over anaylze everything I write so I don't sound stupid or ridiculous.

For a while know i've been urging to talk to him about certain subjects of emotions, but I never know how to start the conversation or what exactly is the right thing to say, more importantly i'm not 100% sure about how he feels about me and it is making me antsy with suspense.  Somedays I feel I don't need to hear them from him I just somehow magically know what he feels for me...doesn't that sound crazy???
Maybe it does or maybe it doesn't! Either way I will find the best way to say it to him and maybe I will be able to be closer with him.

So many people who know of him and know the few stories about him already like him and think he might be the kind of guy I need.  They also think that its amazing that i'm finally starting to have all of my heart back enough to try to give it to another person.

I've been so hurt recently in the past that I am so afraid to really get close to someone and end up getting betrayed.  I've never understood why such great, sweet girls get their heartsbroken.  The only good news about my heart being broken is that there is someone who I feel now is starting to mend it.

I smile, I laugh, he is reminding why there are Men and Women in this world.  He is also reminding that love really does exist.  That there is such a thing as passion not sexually but emotionally and psychologically.  I believe that for two people to make things work forever or for at least as long as they live there must but a thousand and one things that connect them.  It's all a mental, physical, emotional and spiritual connection.  It's the differences and similarities they share, it's the things they experience, believe or learn together.

Love was a word that made me only think of one particular person, but now as I sit in my quiet apartment with Sex and the City on the TV in the background playing an earlier phone message in my head from my dear Jakesully, I am reminded of how much I am able to feel, and I am remarkable impressed because I didn't know when this day would finally come!  I have been waiting for what seems like an eternity to finally be able to feel such incredible wonderful, "butterfly in the stomach", make my heart melt at even the smallest gestures feeling towards another person.  I am not saying that I am in love with Jakesully or that I want to be with him forever...but there is this aching feeling in my gut that if I don't try to see if there can be more between us I will spend my whole life wondering if what I am feeling is just excitment for someone new or the feeling that I might actually bond with someone on a level that will become inexplainably breathtaking to me and him but of course to no one else.

The question I know ask myself is....When will that moment come with neither one of us can Wonder any longer?

Oh Brilliant ME!

I've just decided to assign a topic of discussion to incorporate my life experiences, thoughts, feelings and comments on...so from starting right now and on each week on Monday we'll say is the beginning of my journal entry week I will post the new subject of my discussion and each day of that week I will jot down something that has either happened in my past, or might happen with my limited psychic ability or what is happening in my life at that current moment.

Such as things like going on at work, ISU life, home life in Naperville and perhaps throughout the world.  For example like today there was the first noted Earthquake in Illinois I can recall way up north in Dekalb area which is where some of my family lives...how bizarre?

Oh and also like yesterday when Bloomington-Normal got a freak blizzard for about 24 hours but of course let us college students down by there being NO SNOW DAY!!!!

If any followers have certain topics or questions about my life or want to know my opinion about just holla!

I might do a month long topic or blog genre (couldn't find better word for it).  Maybe I can do like the Julia Child's movie with Amy Adams and cook things I've never done and blog about it??? Okay maybe not as serious but fun things!!!

I'm beginning to LLOOVVEE this whole blogging thing, who knew I had so much to say :)

3OH!3 && Cobra Starship: Concert With Best Friend!!!

So last night as I was chillin'g with my girl Alicia, dancing to music (of course) and chatting with her friend Carlos and eating Domino's at midnight we all decided to go to the Bamboozle Festival in Chicago in May to See 3OH!3 & Cobra Starship!!!!  The tickets were dirt cheap, $35 for each of us and it's guna be a whole day event.  Talk about a great way to start off the summer!

Hopefully I won't be so bored working at Chili's the entire time.  Though I might have to take some courses at ISU over the summer but thats cool!!! I'm highering my educational abilities and adapting to more brain power for the good of my professional life! Wow that's almost an ingenious statement...well tried to make it sound like one! Giggle giggle :)

(Left: from left to right: Alicia, Andy, Jack, ? and Me)

So there also might be an pportunity for me to work an internship position this summer for a legal firm here in Normal, things are starting to look up for me career wise...It's about time!

I'm currently downloading all of the songs from 3OH!3 & Cobra Starship so that Alicia and I will be ready to jam out hopefully right in sweating and touching range; first row ground level!!!!

Ooh they all look such amazing movies and I cannot wait to see them!!! I seriously wish that the man who is my valentine this year was available to hang out with me instead of working like me.  We would have fun going to dinner and watching all of the corny love couples get all serious and extreme about this made up Hallmark holiday to celebrate something that should be celebrated everyday...when I find the man I am going to love for the rest of my life and marry him, Everyday will be Valentine's Day!!! ♥ ♥

I heard that the cutest Valentine's Day gift someone could give was buying and naming a real star in the Galaxy for them...wouldn't that be just the sweetest? Hopefully someday I will have my own Star (Wink Wink...towards my special Valentine man)

Well Its time for me to end this entry and go write my second french paper and do some more homework.

Much love and peace!
