An Adventure into the City's Character... [08 Jun 2008|12:28am]
[ mood | tired ]
[ music | Heavy Lifting ~ Abmulance LTD ]



After a long work-filled and stressful week I decided to take use of my day off and enjoy this city I'm living in.

It's a big weekend for Columbus.
First, the Colombus Art Festival is this weekend, which is an extra big deal because it's actually downtown this year [by CCAD] so the Discovery District was going out their way to make this awesome since that whole area's growing; The Park Street Festival is this weekend too. Today is the first Saturday of the month so it was Gallery Hop time in the Short North. Plus the community kicked off PRIDE week tonight.
So many festivities!

Below I've included my encounters and sites from the day, Enjoy!

Lookie!! )

The Rumors Are True... [07 Jun 2008|11:25pm]

Just to make a general statement, Mike and I have decided it's best that we have our own spaces. If you care for more details, you can call me. :)

Now I present to you,
My New Space!!

YaY! )

It currently has nothing but my clothes and a queen sized air mattress but I think it's cute nonetheless.

Winter's Over!!!... Not? [08 Apr 2008|05:47pm]

The weather has been beautiful. Feels like spring is here. FINALLY!
The weather's been in the mid 60's which is just awesome and flowers have magically sprouted from the ground overnight! Too bad this weekend is showing the possibility of snow?! Wow, and I thought Florida had retarded weather.

Repeat After Me Nick... [08 Apr 2008|04:06pm]

Last week Nick and Darla got married. March 29th. It was wonderful, of course. Not so much drama, no serious blunders, just lots of fun.






This being, not only, the first wedding I've been in but, also the first wedding I've ever attended ever! it was such an honor and experience.




As well, learned tons of things...

Like being a bridesmaid is tons of work.

Aside from trying to be super girly and dealing with fussy dresses...




we must always attend to our bride...





and that there are soooooooo many pictures you have to pose for and/or stand around and wait for. lol


To add, I learned that EVERYONE dances at a wedding...






everyone.
no matter how goofy they look or out of standard they are. ;]



And, I also learned that NO ONE knows how to dance to 'Thriller' :P



Thankfully there are things like the rehearsal and reception where you can just lay back and do whatever.
..within the limits of The Sarahs [the wedding coordinators], of course.






Being the tallest, I had to walk out first during the ceremony. It was such a surreal feeling walking down that aisle, especially with no one to follow.
Jason, the best man, and Erin, the maid of honor, both gave their speeches and were great at them. Also chiming in were both Nick and Darla's fathers, Yvonne, Darla's co-worker, Kareem, and myself. I haven't seen any photos of me "speeching" but I'm sure the professional photographer got one of me looking like a blubbering fool. :( What? I get emotional :P

Anyway, it was a great time, great experience, and I'm so happy for the new Mr. & Mrs. Sutrich ;D
You should all send them more love, congrats, and wedding presents! lol

Here are some more random photos to take up space.

Now... [12 Mar 2008|04:49pm]

How we grow.

What we experience.

How we move apart.

Who we meet.

How we act.

Where we go.

How we change.

Who we become.

How we end up.



I would never have imagined that my life would be how it is.

Could never have seen everyone's lives being the way they are.

Igloo.... [08 Mar 2008|10:29am]
[ mood | snowed in! ]



So Columbus is under a Blizzard warning.
We're under a Blizzard warning until, pretty much, tomorrow.

I'm not sure exactly how much snow we've had but I know it's between 6-12 inches.

Franklin county, where I live downtown, is on a Level 2 emergency, which means that driving is discouraged and you should call before heading to work.

Delaware county, where BJ's [my restaurant] is located, is under a Level 3 emergency, which means that only emergency vehicles should be on the roads. People could be arrested if they decide to drive on local roads.
So I'm sure BJ's isn't open today lol

Now some photographic evidence!



View from my side window. That's snow all over the window too.



More backyard shots.



Oh Noes! Natalia!? She could be stuck forever! :(


Yeah, and it's still snowing hasn't stopped.
I may go outside and take more pictures. I noticed people walking to and from the gas station so I think they're open.

I made muffins and we got lots of liquor and snack foods last night before the storm. I'm going to make a pot of Macaroni and Cheese for dinner tonight and we're going to be snowed in right!


All I can say though is that I wish Smash Bros. Brawl came out yesterday instead of tomorrow. Then this weekend would've been perfect.


[[EDIT 12:10pm]]

MORE Photographic Evidence!

Which I will put under a cut since there are so many! :O )


I couldn't get much of a shot but in some places in front of the castle I would step and the snow was more than half way up my calf. Craziness! ♥

Back To The Cold... [04 Mar 2008|06:51pm]

[ music | Low Place Like Home ~ Sneaker Pimps ]







Darla's Shower and Bachelorette went great.
If you'd like to see more photos check out mine and Erin's facebook albums.

I truly do apologize for not getting a chance to see others during the weekend. I was there for bridal duties and any free time would've been an added luxury if able to capture.
I promise I'll try harder when I return to Orlando in a few weeks for Nick and Darla's wedding itself. I'm hopping to come into town earlier than just the day or so before the wedding. We'll see how money, time, and work schedules allow.
Otherwise I plan a drive thru again in the summer when I want to get Nafi and there will be many obligatory stops along the way for that trip.


Side Note -- My phone has not been working properly for the past few weeks and I'll mostly just let it disconnect tomorrow. Between the frustration of the phone itself and the company providing the service, I'm over it. Please Email me if you ever need anything.

I feel like I'm trapped inside a snow globe. Large fluffy snowflakes. Pure Powder. This is the best kind of snow.

As much as I want to enjoy it, I'm feeling so much bitterness towards it.

Rant-- Physical Changes... [01 Feb 2008|11:14pm]
[ mood | bitchy ]
[ music | Joga ~ Bjork ]




So I've joined a gym out here and between working out and eating right-ish, in the first week I had lost 6lbs. Pretty cool, yeah.

A whole month later, I haven't changes a point.
They have this machine in the gym that monitors everything from my weight, to my body fat percentage, to my blood pressure.
Every single thing is the same today as it was a month ago. Weight, B.M.I, everything. Oh, aside from my blood pressure which apparently went up :(
I've become quite discouraged. I thought this was working. How could I have seen results in the first week and nothing since then? My body's annoying. I wish it wasn't so expensive to work with a personal trainer...

I'm not like "OMG I'M FAAAAT!" I just know I'm medically overweight for my age and height and I just want to be in shape a little more. and it wouldn't hurt to get rid of this tummy slightly...

Aside from all that I've actually been debating the thought of possibly getting a beast reduction. I don't think I'll have as much back pain as my Grandmother did or many of my other well endowed friends, luckily, because of my height. I've just come to the realization that I'm becoming more and more emotionally frustrated with my shape, aiming towards my chest. They are constantly feeling like they are in the way and I feel limited for many reasons, many I don't really want to share here.
Fashion wise is a primary issue at the moment as well. I can not wear what I want to wear.
Examples,
I've had this EXPRESS Credit Card [for the clothing store] since I moved here. I've only once used it for myself. I've just bought things for Mike. Nothing fits my body type, mainly because of my chest. What a waste.
I have My button up shirts for work are CONSTANTLY puckering and/or popping open and I finally found a button up that'll stay closed but it's a little lower cut. I don't show anything luckily and none of the people who matter [customers included] have minded but, one of our newer, temporary, asst. managers pulled me aside and said something about it. As I ever so forwardly told him that it was either this or a real peep show for the guests and mentioned that I've worn this shirt for almost a year now and through two different restaurants without comment, I silently to myself bitched that there was another server with the exact shirt as myself and NO ONE has ever made a reference about her chest.
As well as the fact that even down to the bridesmaid dresses for Darla's wedding, I became bitter for a short while about the fact that every girl had their first choice in dresses and I didn't get my top six. My chest again. And even though I'm over it. I'm back to hunting because this new dress, we didn't notice, was meant to be worn, braless [low back] which is just not happening with a 38-40DD, sorry. Especially in a church setting lol. I've figured out how to fix the problem but the fact that there was a problem is ridiculous.
I'm still wearing jeans and t-shirts [even though I still love them] because I can't change up my wardrobe for body issues.

bitch. bitch. bitch some more Donia!

Sorry.
Back to the whole reduction, the possibility of this happening is still slim and for sure will not be happening anytime soon. Even with all the negatives, I do like my breast sometimes and I like that I'm larger but not SO LARGE. They're apart of me and I've never really been one to change what life's given me too much [like, surgery]. Also the plan was to work out and loose weight to get my body in an ideal state. My breasts should get slightly smaller afterward and I'd like to see my body like that before I make any decisions. If my proportions aren't too Dolly Parton, I might just stick with it and make it work.

Blah Blah Bitch Bitch...

It Is Said "MEEM"... [01 Feb 2008|02:28pm]
[ mood | okay ]




Look what I got in the mail!

YaY! Aw, Nicholas Jay haha. I like Nicholai better :P

It's crazy how fast time is going. The ladies of the bridal party are currently planing Darla's bachelorette, and no, I'm not telling you anything! :O My bridesmaid dress is at the Alterations place at the moment. She's fitted in the sides for me, we're still trying to figure out what to do about my bra showing all over the place. Oh well, If I can't find a set of undergarments that fit and will work with this dress, I now have a plan B.

Otherwise I've been doing my best to draw up a storm. Even if the art is craptacular. Go visit my DeviantArt if you haven't in a while..

First Day of School!!! ......Not. [14 Jan 2008|05:01pm]
[ mood | disappointed ]



This entry would have included details about my first day of classes but, it will not because I did not go to my new college classes because I could not afford them.

Yep, Even after a scholarship I don't have enough this semester so I've deferred everything until Fall and we'll see how that works out...

Damnit, I'm in a bummed mood.

I hate Januaries. They're always so slow and short of money.

I have so much I need to save up for and I still owe others money as well.
