My Animalia Equivalents

For lack of inspiration on what to post about (since i promised certain readers i would blog today), i'm feeling the funny pictures will help get my brain warmed up. 

Here are some interesting animals depicting the day ins and day outs of my life:

This is me on most saturday nights, when i'm broke but just really need to get drunk:

I really like Rock Band, I just really get into the guitar part:

This is me when my friend told me she was pregnant:

I am into espionage, and I am a master of many disguises:

Can you see me?

How about now?

no, didn't think so.

I never did learn how to juggle, although I practice regularly sometimes on my days off. I can only do it with one object though:(

When I was in high school, I used to have to drive my friends around alot since I was one of the few kids in my group of friends that had a decent car. I didn't mind though, it was my pleasure:

I'm a pretty pathetic person to date - when i was in college and on the rebound from my first boyfriend, i used to give hot guys that i liked my number and sit around waiting for them to call:

Since then, i have become a little more confident and crafty in the ways of love. And who needs to date anyways when you can just stalk hot guys on Facebook while you're at work?

I'm not that hard to please, and living the single life has its perks. For example, when i'm not trying to post attractive pictures of myself on Facebook for people to admire and envy, I can let go of the facade at home and just let it all hang out!:

Don't get me wrong, I love meeting new people and going on dates, or just plain going out. But most people forget what it's like to be single when they've been in loving relationships for years and years. It's not all bouncy cleavage and steamy sex in the back of a club, or even mature conversations about your portfolio over endless glasses of vintage reds. Usually for me, it's just trying to figure out how you ended up at P.F. Changs listening to some guy drone on and on about how he wishes he could re-live his college glory days while you try not to look spaced out:

However, every so often I do meet that special someone. And when I do, you can be sure that the charm is turned up to 11:

But I digress. My dates are few and far between. Most of my days are filled with trucking my ass back and forth from downtown detroit, just trying to make ends meet and pay the bills. It is not all glamourous, let me tell you. Why, one time i was pulled over by the cops and through a case of mistaken identity had to wait for 45 minutes while they searched my vehicle and accused me of doing a drive by over on the west side!: 

Of course, they realized their mistake and let me go with apologies. But from thenceforth I was much more careful, and learned not to panic so much:

Additionally, I have made some resolutions for 2009 that will hopefully get my life back on track. Some are small steps that will progress towards a better future, and some are steps to help me maintain a healthy image of myself. Lately, my boochie cousins and I have been making attempts to get into better shape by going to workout class twice a week, which is fantastic because it lets us socialize with each other while we do something fun. It's helped me get a better attitude about getting out of my apartment, and overall created a more jovial mood:

Cousin Trina and I also have been trying to better improve how we photograph. She is getting married in the early summer and so we are taking this time to experiment with wearing makeup at ALL TIMES, that way we get more comfortable with looking good when taking pictures, so we don't end up looking gnarly in the wedding photos:

At the end of the day, I can feel calm and relaxed knowing that even though I'm not yet where I want to be in life, I'm well on my way. This feeling of peace and stillness is liberating, and I can happily say that it's helped me get a better good night's sleep.

Of course, there are those few nights where I do still have to take an ambien....

Goodnight!
