Mansfield, the place where the sun never shines.

Sorry I haven't kept up with this as much as I wanted to. I've been keeping myself rather busy with the usual. Work, boyfriend, tv, you know, the good stuff.

So this week is my vacation in Mansfield. Back to college I go. I came back last December, but it was only for a couple days, and had a friend from home with me. Now I'm back and ready to do what I wanted to do; live, laugh, and love.

My parents dropped me off by 6pm Saturday in the pouring rain. Of course, this is Mansfield: the town where the sun never shines. It's evil, horrid, and I'm still asking myself why this is the place I'd like to vacation at.

So I'm staying with my friends Dan, Linda, and Renee. Dan has been a really good friend for a couple of years (why, I don't know. I've done horrible things to this pour kid.) and he always lets me crash on his couch. Linda and Renee live in the house, and are absolutely wonderful. Within 15 minutes of being in Mansfield, us girls chased Dan around the house with a banana (because he's allergic to them.)

To the left shows the banana on the door. :)

I love this house. So the night continues on with some friends coming over, and me being drunk at 8pm. Go figure. I'm in Mansfield for 2 hours, and I'm hammered. Go me. After hurling into the bushes 4 times, I'm in great shape to go to the bar and run into more people I know. Luckily, I sobered up so I wasn't a hot drunk mess as usual.

Today, Sunday (even though I'm aware it's Monday morning.) we made waffles.... yum, waffles, and Renee's mother came over and talked politics with us. I don't know if any of you know this, but I just don't care about politics. I know I should, and it's important, but I really just don't care to share my beliefs about them with a whole lot of people, and especially not over the Internet. I offend everyone with my political views. However, I was told that Donald Trump's newest wife was apparently born in a communist country. That's awesome. Keep running for president, Mr. Topee.

Then, we got to see.... the baby. One thing I think you should all know about me is that I love a good bet. I don't bet on sports or cards, nothing like that. I like to bet on life situation. I live to bet on life situation. I made a bet with my friend, and the result was that is she gets pregnant and it's a girl, she was to name it after my and my friend Liz. Well, she got pregnant, but it was a boy. His name is Parker. I HATE babies, but this kid was adorable. Go baby Parker!

Here is Parker with his mommy, Amanda. Isn't this adorable!

So when I heard that Amanda and I were meeting up, the first thing I asked was if I could eat baby Parker. I don't know why; it's just a joke I said for years. So what did I try to do upon first seeing him? This.....

This is as close as I came to eating the baby, don't worry.

So now what the weekend is over, I have a week to run into people I'd like to see or have been avoiding like the plague. I can't wait to see what this is like :)

Until next time, guys, don't eat babies, and watch this honey badger.

Happiness

Wow, so I think I'm finally happy about things that are going on in my life, for once. My friends aren't assholes, neither is my boyfriend (wait, what the hell am I talking about? He totally is! But in a good way? Is that possible?), and I'm not taking shit from anyone. Awesome, right?

So I made a treasury yesterday, and I found this:

I want it soooo bad. Can I have it? Guess where my next paycheck is going......

In case you haven't noticed, I love giraffes. I don't know why, I just do. And look, the giraffe is a zombie! It's deadly and cute! And missing an eyeball....

What else have I been up to? Not a whole lot. I'm working on some t-shirt ideas for my shop. This means I have to make my own templates, which is proving to be quiet a challenge. I never knew exacto-blading a piece of cardboard could be so hard! If I get any of these right, you'll see pictures. I promise.

So I really would like some input. Does anyone here use Twitter? I recently have become an addict. I want to know what the worst trending topic is. The one I use all the time is #boomroasted. I want to know what trending topic have you seen that upsets you, angers you, makes you cry, and etc. I'm thinking of the worst one right now. If you can guess what it is, and you're not my boyfriend, you'll win something! How does that sound?

If you can be the first to guess what horrible twitter trend I'm talking about, I will send you this coffee sleeve:

If you were one of the makers of the trend I'm thinking of (JACKIE!) you can't win. So come on! Guess! Leave it in the comments.

So let's add some items from my shop so they can get some love. My real job sucks, so help me survive! hahaha

Kissing a roach?

I have watched waaaay to much America's Next Top Model. Speaking of which... I finally got to watch Wed. episode this morning, and I'm a little annoyed. I don't know if I like the idea that one of the girls get a free car as a prize win. I don't know... I think it's a little too much. You're suppose to win a car if you win everything on The Price is Right, not in the middle of ANTM for a weekly challenge.

Anyways, so I cruising Etsy today, and found this awesome necklace:It's really cute, right? But look at what the title of this post is.... and the 1st sentence.... I watch way too much ANTM. Doesn't it remind you of this moment?

Yes, I'm referring to Jade kissing the roach. I want that necklace soooo bad now!

I just thought maybe someone would enjoy this just as much as I do.

Bucket List?

This is a scary thought. I'm 22 years old and I've already thought about my bucket list. You know, "the things you'd like to do before you kick the bucket." Thank Jack!

I realized that at my young age, I've actually thought about those things. I guess that's what months of unemployment do to you, right? So what do I want to be before I die?

1) I'm a huge TV gal. I'd like to watch every series that I've ever even thought of seeing. This list is for another post, at another time. It's too damn long.

2) I'd like to write something the public will see or read. A book, a movie, a tv show, or maybe just an awesome blog. Who knows?! I'd like the world to know what is in my brain. It's pretty fascinating.

3) Get married and start a family. I know I want this. I know I want a loving husband and 3 or 4 kids. That'd be nice, right?

4) I'd like to finally get to Hawaii. That's the only place I actually care to visit. I really don't want to travel to a foreign country or anything. I have no desire. Hawaii, though..... I'd like that.

5) When things settle down in my life, I'd like to move out to the country. I would love to sit on my front porch in a rocking chair, knit, and watch large amounts of dust blow by in front of me. That'd be ballin' right?

That's what I'd like to see and do before I die. Is it simple? Possibly. Do I care? No.

So I'm looking forward to a fun and exciting weekend. My new boyfriend who is allergic to all of my animals is suppose to come over tomorrow.... that'll be a story. Granted, this is the kid who on our first date shot a straw wrapper in my eye. He did it again last Saturday and tonight, as a matter of fact. Great guy!

Also, my mother won't be home. My weekend will be full of doing nothing and making more things for the shop. The only part that sucks is she's taking my camera with her..... I really need to invest in my own. Damn it, Mom!

So, just to make sure I get some more exposure in my shop, here's another new listing from the past 5 months. Get hype!

And sometimes I make things... dissappear.....

Yeah, I haven't updated this in awhile. I'm aware and mildly ashamed. Life had me busy. Unemployment had me busy. But finally, I've been inspired again.

Depression... What do you think it is? I feel that depression is when you realize your whole life is meaningless, and is sinking in around you. Depression is when you reach up for help and the only thing you grab is air.

Depression.... that's where I've been for the past 5 months. Sorry guys.

Anyways, onto happier and brighter days, such as ice cream. Who doesn't love ice cream?

The shop has been doing alright. I'm moving a lot of things out of my hoarder room, so I guess the shop is doing what I expected it to.

The main point of starting my craft shop was because I have all of these materials sitting in my room and I'm not using them. The most effective way to use them would obviously be to sell the materials, but what's the fun in that? Hence why we have theworldfamous.etsy.com.

So if you're reading this and want to help me pay off my college loans that are drowning me, go to theworldfamous.etsy.com.

I kinda sorta have a job. I'm suppose to work at a research center as a phone interviewer. Unfortunately, it's not super stable, and I've been sitting here, waiting for hours. I believe I start work April 14th. I go on vacation to Mansfield, PA the 16th. Does that sound even remotely fair? Of course not!

Anyways, so here are some new items that are up in my shop. If you are interested in buying, please do so. As a matter of fact, if you are interested, I will give you 10% off your order. Use coupon code "RETAIL10". I will do free local pick-up, as well. I live in Central Jersey.

So here it is! New in my shop!

First Real Sale!

I am so darn excited about it! I can finally say that I actually did something. Someone gave me money, and I give them an awesome hat. Say goodbye to the Rocket J. Squirrel hat!

Yay! And my cousin was a great model. Thanks Steph!

So I think I need to get more models. They never seem available like I'd like them to be. This is when I wish it wouldn't cost me $1,000,000 to find a ANTM girl.

Dear Bravo Cable Television Network

Dear Bravo Television Network,

Here is the reason why you are having problems. YOU'RE NOT ORIGINAL! Seriously, it's pissing the rest of America off. I'm sorry that you decided to not keep Project Runway and sold it to Lifetime television (seriously a big big mistake) but it's not ok to make another show just like it. Come on! Iman? Really? You are a huge copy cat.

Here are the shows you ripped off of:

America's Next Top Model (Make me a Supermodel)
Iron Chef (Top Chef)
Biggest Loser (Thinnervention)
Desperate Housewives (Every real housewives)
Project Runway (which was your show in the first place!)

Seriously, get original. I hate you. The only reason why I watch Bravo is because of America's Next Top Model reruns.

Love Always,

Gen Taylor

P.S. - Maybe you should hire me so I can help you out.

Project Runway Season 8 finale

Oh, it's almost over. Don't get me wrong; I love Project Runway just as much as the next craft junkie. But now I have to change my entire Thursday night!

See, I also LOVE LOVE LOVE NBC comedy, also on Thursday nights. So I watch Project Runway and record the NBC comedy and watch them on Friday while I look for a job or something. Now what am I going to do?

So back to Project Runway. Who's gonna win? I'm rooting for Mondo. Mondo Mondo all the way. Who are you going for? I totally want to hear it.
