So I went back to school last week. It was good. I'm glad to be back in school. I was kind of thinking that maybe there would be a cute guy in my class that i could get to know. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE THOUGH. I can recall one cute guy in my Event risk management class but as luck would have it, HE'S GAY! my classes have a lot of older guys and females. Not my cup of tea. I don't think I've been hurt enough by men to switch over to the other side. Women are lovely and sexy however I'd rather have Steak and potatoes instead of Tuna salad. I should take advantage of my school's full potential though. I mean just because there aren't any cute guys in my classes doesn't mean that there aren't cute guys in other classes. So instead of going home between my classes on Monday and Tuesday I'm going to stay on campus. There's gotta be one cute guy worth talking to that isn't gay or taken.
I can't believe I'm going to be this honest but I've decided to just go for it. I've always had a fantasy of having a relationship with my teacher. I think that's so hott. It's the big elephant in the room that nobody knows is there because it's between the teacher and I. It's a huge turn on. I'm not sure I've had a college professor that I was interested in but I know in high school there were at least 2 teachers I can think of that i thought were really hott. How amazing would that be to finally hook up with one, they are married now though. I seem to be attracted to marry men. That's a whole other blog though.
So how long am I going to be single for? My last relationship ended in August. So for 7 months I've been busy and content. Honestly I didn't start thinking about being in a relationship till like a month before my birthday. For some reason my birthday always makes me think about my life and love in my life. For some unexplainable reason I never seem to dating anyone on My Birthday, Christmas, New Year's, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, and Halloween. My relationship months are March through August. Well my relationship season is in full swing so maybe I'll meet someone soon, That i can date till August and find myself back in my single shoes for the rest of the year.

The Bridal Expo
Last Sunday i went to the bridal expo. I know what you are thinking, she's not getting married, why is she going to the expo?? One, it was research and two, I LOVE WEDDINGS people! I'm all about the weddings. Sunday's are one of my favorite days of the week because I get to watch Amazing wedding cakes, My Fair wedding with David Tutera, and Rich bride, Poor bride. So anyways back to the Expo, two words: Daytona Sucks. I was not overly impressed with it. The advertising was hugely overstated.
So my Issues with the expo were: 50% of the vendors were photographers,there's more to a wedding than photos, no disrespect to photographers. I know one. I just wish there was more variety. Where were the catering companies? Transportation companies? Dress shops? There were 2 specialty cake vendors. I know we have a lot more than that in the Volusia county area. So aside from variety being absent from the expo the business cards were ridiculous. The majority of the cards didn't have an address for the company. One of them had the most ridiculous design logo covering up the theme of their upcoming wedding collection. Another card had a personal photo of the owner. I'm not a fan. a picture of your face on your business card isn't the deciding factor on weather or not im going to do business with you. I'm more concerned about the work you do and how well you can do it.
The fashion was lacking. Someone put 60% thought into the idea but didn't follow through. They had guys dressed up in tuxes, which was nice. BUT then they had girls walking around in wedding dresses, but their hair wasn't done up, no glamorous make-up, and tattoos on display. It was a little trashy looking in my opinion. Anyone can walk around in a dress but if you're trying to sell a product, you gotta make it look good. It's a wedding, it's a classy event 90% of the time. So why didn't these girls look like a million bucks??? There was also a fashion show. Positive: They had two big girls representing. Negative: most of the models didn't seem overly excited to be walking down the shortest runway. Ladies, it's Daytona, NOT PARIS. It's ok to smile and have fun. Oh and before i forget One girl had the ugliest brown shoes on and she wore them with each dress she wore on the runway, but they didn't match any of the dresses. David's bridal, what were you thinking??

No time like the present
So the other day I was watching "Say 'yes' to the dress" on WE tv and I realized that Weddings are expensive. Like i know weddings are expensive but sometimes i don't realize how expensive they are. So Ive decided that I'm going to start a wedding fund. I always have lots of change in the bottom of my purse and in the ash tray in my car so I might as well put it to good use. So let the saving begin. I want a Fabulous wedding and i can't exactly wait till someone pops the question to pull $50,000 out of my ass.
And in the event that i don't get married I'll have a nice chunk of money to go on a shopping spree with. Yay shopping.

Running into your past
So last night it was St. Patrick's Day and I went out for drinks with my Bestie, Yvonne, while we were out i saw this guy who looked actually like this guy I was taken with exactly almost a year ago. At first I didn't think it was him because when we ended he had literally just fallen off the face of the earth, yes i know the world i round. i wasn't born yesterday. Well i finally saw him at 509 and realized it was him. He claimed to be a masseur, but i prefer to refer to him now as a scam artist.
So a brief synopsis of our story: The scam artist responded to a post i put on craigslist. We started texting then we started hanging out like every night. We went from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds. It was great i thought he was perfect and he seemed totally into me. When I said i wanted to wait to have sex he didn't even flinch. He was sweet and thoughtful and polite and we had a lot in common. The only down side i found to him was that apparently physically he wasn't able to have children. We were hot n heavy for like 3 1/2 weeks. Then there was absolute silence on his part. Like i said he literally fell off the face of the earth. His facebook was undisturbed, he didn't respond to my e-mail, texts, or phone calls.
I was sad for a little and hurt I really thought he was Mr. Right or at least Mr. Going the distance. I had never been in a long term relationship and I thought he was the one to break that cycle. Oh, How wrong was I?
The scam artist is alive. I considered confronting him last night but he was drunk and had two black drunk bitches hanging off his arms. It would not have made for a good time plus i was wearing my wig and it's not very secure on my head. So one yank and it would be gone off my head. I'm just not the ghetto. I can't afford to be seen in public with my wig snatched off. But if I ever see him again and he's not drunk off his ass and alone i think i might just be bold and confront him.

Bah! Humbug!
So at last we spoke I was full of excitement because i thought i was going to be hanging out with the wrestler. Well it never happened. I wasn't overly surprised because i had a tiny suspicion something would get in the way (on his part) and keep us from getting together. I'm not bent out of shape over it though. I'm actually kind of over this guy. We talk non stop for a little then he basically falls off the planet and there's no communication. It's really crazy and i just don't know what to make of it, really i know what to think, he's just not that into you. i just don't want to believe it. He's telling me he's super excited to see me, but letting petty stuff get in the way. The signs are there. I really should just move on. Ugh, but that's so much easier said than done.
So let's see I've said bye to the welder and the felon. I'm working on saying bye to the wrestler. There's a mattress man i haven't talked much about but he's not Mr. Right or Mr. Right now so eventually some time soon i will be saying bye to him. So at the present time I've still got G.I. Joe and The Cop, but i don't think that very much is going to happen with G.I. Joe. He'll probably be on the short list soon too.

Finally throwing away the rose
So my Ex-Boyfriend, The Profesional liar, has been contacting me. I'm a polite person so i responded but tried to keep the conversation to a minimum. He's really annoying though. He keeps trying to say sorry and say he fucked up. Ugh News Flash: I already know he's sorry and he's a fuck up. All i wanted and i know i made myself clear was for him to be honest and to be himself. I did like him. He was sweet and thoughtful. But i couldn't get past the lies. It's not fun being lied to over and over and over again. He lied about things theat were of no importance to me. I didn't care how much money he made or who he knew. If only you knew all the lies he told me and continues to tell. We just had a conversation a little bit ago. In this conversation he told me he had a book coming out in August full of his poems. When i asked who his publisher was, he claimed it was some company owned by Bam Margera. I'm sorry i just can't believe him. So with that I took the rose he gave me on our first date down and threw it away. I saved it originally because it meant a lot.No guy, other than my dad, had ever bought me a rose. The Professional liar is a looser and i've finally made my peace I don't have any harsh feelings towards him. He was just another speed bump in the road.
Super Excited
So i've been talking to this guy, The wrestler, and he's invited me to come hang out with him on Sunday. When he asked me what i was doing this weekend my heart almost jumped out of my mouth. Like i couldn't believe it. We've been trying to hang out for the longest but because of his distance i can't just jump in my vehicle and go hang out. I'm really hoping that nothing gets in the way. I so want to hang out. It's possible that this isn't going to be anything but I'd like to at least try. So I need to make sure my room and bathroom are clean. I know my mom and she will find some reason to keep in the house. I may be 24 but I live in her house so i have to follow her rules. It sucks being treated like i'm 15, but I don't like paying rent, so I deal.
In other news I contacted the welder per the advice of my BFF. He claimed he didn't end up going on Saturday. I can't say I believe him. I could be jaded from all the lies I've been told in the past from men. However I doubt that. I called him and he didn't answer or return my phone call. That's rude. How hard would it have been to just send me a text and say he decided to stay home. I'm not one to dwell so I made an attempt to keep communication going however he no longer seemed interested. So I'm over it. On to the next guy or guys. There's one thing I never forget, "There's always plenty of fish in the sea".

The Welder
So my first attempt at going on a date didn't go so well. I began talking to this guy, The welder, on Monday. We seemed to hit it off well and he seemed promising. Tuesday came around and we were already talking about hanging out. We talked all day Wednesday and we both seemed super excited about Thursday night. Since I was off of work that day i was going to drive out to Orlando, where he lives, and hang out in Downtown.
So just my luck It's Thursday afternoon and I reminded that I'm supposed to take my neice to gymnastics. There goes my date, FML. Don't get me wrong I love my neice, but i think that cancelling my date led to the demise of something that could have been. I believe in simple decencies and as soon as i knew i could make the date I informed the welder. He didn't seem upset or bothered by it at all. His actions though tell a different story. Friday came around and i barely got a word out of him. He said he was busy at work which is understandable but he gets off at 3pm. so why for the rest of the day after that he didn't answer any of my text messages.
Saturday came and I didn't hear a single word from him. We had rescheduled our Thursday get together to Saturday night. He was actually going to be in part of town to par take in the Bike Week festivities that go on every year at this time. I tried to call him to see where and what time he wanted to meet. Not a word. This guy is officially on my shit list. Don't be rude. He could have sent me a text and said don't bother coming out to meet me or whatever else. Even if for some reason maybe his phone was broke, there is a thing called a computer. contact me. There's no excuse for what he did. I feel stood up and that's a shitty feeling.

Turning 24 has been good to me so far
When the wetlands dry out they really dry out but when it decides to rain it Pours. Since my last relationship which ended about 7 months ago I haven't really talked to too many guys or gone on any dates. I was pretty busy with school, coaching, and work so that didn't help the situation any. About a week and a half prior to my birthday I was overwhelmed with responses to my online dating profile. It was very flattering and it made me feel good. I've definitely felt a lot better about myself and i've managed to care just a little more about how I look when I go out places. I will admit that my new hair helps too. Like to me it just doesn't look right on unless my face is done up and I don't look like i just rolled out of bed. Eventually maybe the novelty will ware off but i'll ride this wave as long as possible. I need a man.
Soon I will introduce you to the men who are currently fishing in this pond. For obvious reasons I will not use their real name but refer to them by their profession. I could try making up fake names but then i'd have to keep track of who's who. You don't know me yet but it's not an easy task keeping up with everyone and I don't feel like making a reference sheet to use when I blog.
** Disclaimer: I'm not an English major. I had to re-take English-1102 in college so I'm sorry for any grammatical errors up front. I'll try to spell check, but I'm not perfect.

I need a Game plan
So I have a goal and that is to get to the altar within 5 years. Now it's time for me to set up a plan of action to achieve this goal. One problem though, sometimes I can be like a kid in a candy store and everything just looks so good and I have no idea what I specifically want.
I don't have just one type of guy that appeals to me. My ideal look is a Blonde blue eyed piece of yummy. Second to that is the dark tattooed rock star and third is a good ol southern boy with a dash of urban swag. 3 different looks but obviously all with the same traits. I don't deal with bull shit. I demand a certain level of respect and I don't have the patience to wait 6 months for a guy to get a clue.
Most important traits are as follows: Trustworthy, Kind, Thoughtful, Outgoing( must have his own life), Spontaneous, Respectful, Honest, Easy to talk to, Ability to have a meaningful conversation, Adventurous, and Ambitious.
So I know what traits are important to me but obviously it takes more than just a list of qualifications to make a relationship work. I need to connect with someone and finding both in one relationship isn't very easy. Countless times there's a connection but there are needs that just aren't being met or visa versa.
