Gone fishing...

Alex is kinda depressed YET SO EXCITED!!

Let me start off with why I'm feeling slightly blue: Matt has gone fishing with his grandpa and shall not return until MONDAY!!!! Now for some reason I've already been missing Matt even more than usual this week, and NOW, to have to wait until MONDAY is almost unbearable. I just have to remind myself that Matt's grandpa would also enjoy some quality time so it's not really fair to him that I constantly steal him. But did I mention that I ALSO WON'T BE ABLE TO TALK TO HIM BECAUSE HE HAS NO RECEPTION?!! Agony. Utter agony. But, in the words of Smokey Robinson, you've got to pay some agony for the ecstasy. (For the ecstasy!)

On a lighter note, I have plenty of things to look forward to this weekend, particularly tomorrow. FIRST, I'm seeing HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 at midnight with my girls!!!!!! Secondly, I'm coming back for the Homecoming game tomorrow at Maranatha, and hopefully my brother will play during JV. THEN,  I'm coming back in time for Madness at Midnight!!!! Yayyy I'm so excited to watch Jarred dance! haha. 

Then sadly I have to miss the dance afterward because I have to work from 12-4. But best believe that I will be watching the OC all night to kill time!

Have a splendid Friday! And check back on Saturday to see if I've made it two days without Matt!

A Little More Personal

So our post have been pretty lighthearted and fun lately so I'm going to turn the tables a little and get a little more serious. My question for tonight is when a relationship just isn't working out when is it time to end it? 

Lately I've seen a lot of stable and solid relationship crumble under the pressure of recently going off to college. Even when distance isn't a problem, relationships are slowly, but surely falling apart. Maybe its just the pressure of being in a new place, doing new things, but it seems to me that things just aren't working out. Maybe its just because were growing up, becoming more mature, maybe its just because our relationship has gotten tedious, whatever the reason we know that something has to change, so whens the right time to end things? Should we end it now so that we can both go our separate ways, or should we try to work things out? It seems like a shame to put an end you tried so hard to work out but what about when you know it just isn't going anywhere? Does anyone have any suggestions? anything at all? Give it another go? or let it die?

Anyone else in the same situations?

I lost my hair virginity and I'm not ashamed to say it!

Alex popped her hair cherry with a Brazilian Blowout.

So last week when I was home, my mom convinced me to let her test this process called a Brazilian Blowout on my hair. As many of you may have noticed by my recent switch from long locks to a curly bob, I am not afraid to experiment in my youth. I mean I'm not really interested in experimenting with substances or my sexuality or anything so I figure clothes and hair will suffice. 

Anyway, it's supposed to make your hair shinier and more tame so my mom told me it'd probably make my hair a little straighter. It basically just loosened my curls a little bit. It's cool to get to try out new hair for awhile. I know it's sad. I miss my little springs of joy too, but they'll be back in 4-6 weeks, and I'll be back to rocking them like I was born to do. 

Moral of the story: Don't be afraid to take some chances. I mean you're young, you have a whole life to live. And ps I'm talking like non-life-threatening things like a hair cut not like seeing how long you can go eating only chocolate chip cookies.

PS I know it kinda still looks the same, but it FEELS different.

That Thing You Do

Aww: Sami and Alex are weak in the knees.

SO. As you all know, Sami and I love guys. Well, I mean sometimes we hate them, but ultimately we just can't get enough. Let's be honest though. Who doesn't relish in encounters with the opposite sex? We all love those butterflies, those chills, those tingly feelings in your toes, but maybe we all get them for different reasons. 

We want you guys to share with us those things that guys or girls do that give you a rush (not terribly dirty things btw), and we might just add them to our page! First we'll show you ours...

Alex loves it when a guy...

-holds my face when he kisses me.

-gets really intense when he watches/talks about football.

-sings along to the radio or hums when he's walking to class.

-strives to make himself better.

-pins me against a wall or something to surprise me with a kiss.

Sami loves it when a guy...

-gives me intense eye contact with a sly smile

-grabs my hand when were walking down the street

-slows down when were walking in a group of people so we can be by ourselves

-buys me chocolate when I'm in a bad mood

-watches sex and the city with me

- lets me drive his car, when he knows how awful i am

Guys will be guys...

Attention: Sami and Alex are annoyed.

Alex: So I was watching The Hills the other day, and something hit me. [SPOILER ALERT] LC was out of town for work, and while she was gone Stephanie went to Audrina and asked her if she thought it would be ok if she went out on a date with Doug. For those of you who don't know, Doug and Lauren went to prom together in high school (no it was not on Laguna Beach, idk why), and they had recently dated, and if that weren't enough, Lauren refers to him by "her Doug."

     Now I don't think I need to go over this because it's a pretty well-accepted concept, but there is this rule that girls have, and it is one that is never to be broken. It is a taboo that is almost an automatic friendship deal-breaker. This rule is that, as a friend, you can never date, hook-up with, or even like someone that your friend has history with. Over time, with permission and absolute certainty that your friend has completely moved on from this person, it might eventually be ok to pursue something if you absolutely must...but in this case it was not.                 Stephanie went out on a date with Doug TWICE while Lauren was gone, and then tried to act like she didn't really do anything and it was all Doug's fault. Here's my point: One of LC's best friends, Brody, had already warned her that Stephanie was untrustworthy, and when Brody confronted Lauren with the truth about She-Pratt and Doug, he blamed it all on Stephanie. When Lauren suggested that Doug should take some of the blame as well, Brody merely responded that, "Guys will be guys."

WHAT?! HOW COME GUYS CAN BE GUYS AND GIRLS ALWAYS TAKE THE HEAT FOR DOING THE SAME THINGS?? I mean obviously in this situation, Stephanie was in the wrong, but so was Doug.

Sami: So when Alex came to me and was saying how she thought this would be a good topic to discuss I was ALL for it, because it just so happened that I had had a similar situation happen to me, not the whole dating a friends guy (I've been there too and trust me its not worth it at all) this was a different situation in which the commonly used phrase "boys will be boys" was seriously overused and it realllly struck a nerve with me. So heres the rundown:  a few weekends ago I did something that wasn't very smart on my part, and I admit that it was selfish and really stupid act but I fessed up and told someone that I really care about what happened and even went as far as to express remorse for my actions, and by the way I did feel bad but not entirely that bad,  so this person that I care about freaked out and I mean seriously freaked out. He told me I was naive and dumb, and wasn't thinking, and I agreed, I thought that what I did wasn't the smartest thing I could have done, but at least  acknowleged that what I did was wrong on my part. but I held my tongue, even though he had done what I did before and even to some degrees did something that was far worst. I tried to let go of the fact that he was setting me to unfair standards because I knew that he really only wanted me to be safe. So he calls me a few days later, to tell me that he just did something that was 100% worst than what I did, so naturally I expect him to express regret and remorse for his actions, but does he? OF COURSE NOT! so obviously I give him the same speech he gave me, you were dumb, how could you be so stupid, and then he proceeds to tell me that I have no reason to be upset and that he can take care of himself and... wait for this one... he can do it because HES A GUY... I'm not even kidding, he actually said that, so clearly I hung up on him and proceeded to dodge his calls for the next few hours. so please explain to my why guys feel the need to act very stupidly and then use to the excuse that they are guys so they have an excuse, I mean come on? do you seriously believe that just because you happen to have different sexual organs that your actually aloud to use that as an excuse for acting like an idiot. I really am curious though, do guys actually believe that they have an excuse to act insanely dumb and not have to feel any remorse for it?

Alex again: And on that note! Why is it that guys get to use this same excuse when it comes to physical activity?? I mean I don't know how many times I've heard, "I can't help it. I'm a guy." Guys claim that they have less self-control so it's therefore our responsibility as girls to draw the lines and stop when things go to far, AS IF WE WANT TO. 

I think it's all a cop out. 

Anyway somebody help us out here, especially if you're a guy, but if you're a girl who's been in this situation or has some perspective let us know too.
