Cats?

I was finished with my homework and thought I would take a stroll around "Pinterest" just for kicks, then my roommate came in to chat we spoke for a second or two and then I headed back to my browsing. To my confusion and surprise it seemed I had typed the word "Cats" into the search bar on pinterest and had scrolled down a little before Aub came in. What? Haha who does that? I didn't remember doing that but so funny right? I can just hear my thoughts thinking, Camrie, type cats into the search bar see what comes up! Haha who am I?! What? I am not even particularly fond of them!

Joy in Simplicity

I discovered an interesting concept this week: how to be happy. I have heard for years now people say things like "You're in charge of whether or not you're happy." Or "it's up to you how you react to something." And I agreed to an extent. But how do you just ignore the way people or events make you feel and slap on a fake smile? That just wasn't my style, when I was upset, angry or sad about something I was going to show it. This weekend my fun roommates were all out of town and it turned out to be just lil' ole' me in the house all weekend. I can't explain it but it just hit me. I was happy. Sitting in the apartment completely alone, watching lame movies or doing laundry and exercising. I was happy. That's when I realized, I choose to be content with how my life is and more than that I choose to find joy in its simplicity.  Would I have been glad to have a friend call or that cute boy invite me over, well heck yes! But I choose to be happy alone or with people. I choose to love the emotions I feel, to laugh at myself, to laugh at the frustrations I have, to laugh at the worries or the things I hate. I believe I have found the key to being happy even when I am sad or lonely. This is my life, my emotions, my experiences and I am happy with all of it. If for no other reason than the fact that it's mine. I love it. I love it all completely, in its ups and downs I love it. I am happy in it, all of it.

It's Just a Lil' Crush

I was driving back up to school after attending a farewell and sleeping ova' at the Fam's house. That REALLY great song entitled, "Build Me Up Buttercup" by The Foundations came on the radio, and you know what I decided? I LOVE love LOVVE that song! It's got such a catchy beat and describes a lot of what I am feeling lately. So there's this guy.... isn't that how all the stories start out? Anyway he is just adorable! When I am around him I just feel so calm and safe, like the most important person in the whole wide world. It's an incredible feeling. But I have this psycho part of me... that comes out a few days into having a lull in being around him or talking to him. My mind starts to wander and think, "Oh he isn't talking to me anymore because he finally caught on and realized that he is out of my league." Or something to this effect: "Oh noooo! He found a girl that is better than me!" Haha funny how us girls are crazy sometimes. Serious. I like to think of myself as pretty laid back when it comes to the girl drama chit-chat that runs rampant in all of us lovely ladies minds sometimes.... but there is something about this fella' that's got me running circles in my head.
Back to the song though... I love how upbeat it is, even though the singer is talking about a girl messing with his head, building him up, just to let him down. Now, I am not in any means saying that this very sweet and good looking young man is letting me down. But due to lack of communication, I do feel slightly dizzy at what he means by all he says. In conclusion ladies and gents, I think I have a new crush ;)
