As it's summer, and I have work, I've been quite busy. I've also been getting more into another hobby of mine : cologne. It all started when I was around 11 and used to steal my brother's stuff and was content with whatever I had. Then lately I decided I wanted a new cologne and visited Basenotes, a VERY in-depth and helpful site when it comes to all things fragrances. The people on there are so damn nice and help me with everything. Just in the last 2 months I've found all the different notes that I love and types that I am most interested in. People spend so much time LOOKING good, yet when it comes to SMELLING good they put on Curve or Acqua di Gio.. what's the point? Scent is directly linked to the section of the brain responsible for memory and emotion. It's such an addicting hobby and I feel that my next purchase won't just be one scent.. but more like 4 or 5:

Hererra for Men, Gucci Pour Homme II, Guess by Marciano, L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent, and maybe Viktor & Rolf's Antidote

In other news! Me and Kristy have gotten much closer and I think we may technically be dating! It's been 5 years in the making.. I'm so excited! I love her most ardently. Well anywho.. I'm gonna see if I can go Turkey Hill and get something to eat. I'll be on here when I get more time (probably in the Fall).

It is so bizarre... for the last 10 years I cursed my speech impediments. Both my rhotacism and my lisp. It made me extremely self conscious and anti social. I couldn't stand it. Most people take it for granted. Being able to talk properly is just something you're born with. I never understood why I couldn't pronounce R correctly, and it bothered me. Until yesterday when I read the similarites with tongue placement in the letter "L" and "R" so I practiced. Parsely, garlic, rock, railroad, etc. My mom asked what I was doing and I told her. She said "ohh you pronounce them fine" being just like a mom always should. That's when I told my friend AJ.. then he asked what I was talking about. He said "what do you mean you pronounce them fine" .. so I then asked my sister, Kristy, Johnny, Cara, Starr, and Cassie.. all to say that I can say R fine. My rhotacism went away when I was young and I've never had it for a long time.. I looked how to cure my lisp and that was the same story. I don't have one. My 2 biggest insecurities for the last however many years weren't real. The power of the mind is unbelievable

I've been dormant, sorry Kinda got sick of the scenery here so I didn't have much option for photos. If I liked myself a lot, I could probably take tons in different poses and different guises. but oh well. I have lost a lot of weight! From 192 to 158. However my 6 pack hopes have become harder still with the issue that you need a body fat % of 8 or lower. I have 10! So damn close .I just got back from vacation to Florida! It was amazing as always. Kristy's been good. She got a new tattoo! It's weird to think it'll be 5 years since I started liking her. 6 counting the slight crush I had before I met her in person. Such an amazing girl <4 ,. I plan on making her a post card with some shells I found on the beach. I also have to send my card out to my friends on the GHF forum! I figured I would wait until I got back here to do any of that, so I could maximize my time for fun things. I hope you enjoy the new ones! Since it's been so long. Talk to you later!

Hey everyone! Haven't done a journal in awhile, I figure I'd wait until a lot of stuff happened so I could have a journal filled with lots of things. instead of, hey , today is boring or something. So I just started college, I'm going for Web Design. Once I get my social security card, I can FINALLY get my permit. My mom practically lost my identity, both my birth certificate AND social security card. Yeah good times. I havent gotten to see kristykriste since graduation back in June. She isn't the kind of people that talks a lot, so she would usually just respond to my texts with a short sentence or a word. Out of nowhere she texts me saying she wants to see me! That made me so happy Then me and my friend Johnny went out to Lehigh Valley Mall cause he just got a 1800$ refund thing from college so he bought the new iPhone 3G and it took 2 and a half hours!! but the guy that worked there was awesome! so it wasnt that bad. and we went to Friendly's and almost left the waitress a dollar bill folded into a heart (i've got mad origami skills), but it took too long, but then we went again today and I did. I want to go work with my dad again to get some money, I don't know when I can though, hopefully soon. Have a good weekend everyone!
