Though it is nice to have a snow days, I don't enjoy not getting paid. I plan on taking advantage of the day
(besides being a student and going through tutorials on make-up geek on all the different looks I can get with my book of shadows kit I just purchased,) cleaning the room and home up and being productive with homework. I'm trying to document all recipes in my little recipe box in my head so I may be updating that during these cold days off.
Doug has been doing well, I miss the man! They haven't been handling schedules or work fantastic over there. He told me the other day that they are going to be doing "some things" that he is very annoyed about and won't tell me. This can mean a number of things, more than likely it means he doesnt want me to worry. I should just not think about it, right.
Another upside in my life, my classes are the bees knees and I have the best schedule. For one, all I do is shop and get ideas and create visually appealing projects, whether it be for promotional posters, fashion, or any type of product/event/service I want. The other one is a ridiculously simple computer class, and the other all I have to do is create a marketing audit on a business. I'll be doing my Uncle's business, which is definately a plus, because this will help me understand faster what is going on in the business, making it easier once I do start. I think it's funny how I did all my specialization classes first, next quarter aside from one class I have to start working on those core classes.... hmm.. should be simple..?
Okay, so I've been watching Say Yes To The Dress and Bridezillas. This was a big step for me. It took me a while to even start thinking about weddings again after planning one in five weeks. Some of the women on that television are absolutely fake-er-rif-ick. What is even more amusing to me is the people (and poor fiance, though it is his own doing getting mixed in a mess like that) that hang around her babying her or encouraging such petty behavior. When all you are doing is whining, putting people out, and "forcing" everyone to act a certain way because that is that "dream" you want, everything is fucking fake. Everything that is truly meant to be meaniful just becomes simply dead. You shouldn't be whining to get what you want. You've really just become more in love with yourself and your wants. Then it all becomes a lie of a set up on a flimsy stage. And your left to be on that stage with everyone laughing you.
I have heard the excuse, "well it's HER DAY, let her do what she wants" or "SHE'S A PRINCESS." This is true to a extent, but your letting the Bride become a classless wench. When it starts becoming more important into what jewelry or dress you are wearing(or getting, or making people get you) than who you are marrying and the promise/journey you are about to embark, it becomes laughable; pathetic. And what about the groom?. It's also his day too. It's their day. When all you have is a psycho bridezilla on the loose, the actual sacrement and ceremony, which is what is it all is about, dies. Nothing is special. You can still make everything genuine and just as magical without being fake brat and forcing events and other people to be a certain way you want. You dont have to make people feel like that have to impress you, I just think its wrong to even think that people have to please you with such materialistic things. This can just simply apply in life by having peoplefeel (or feel that people have to) make you happy with materialistic things. What about just valuing them? Be a real princess.
I get a bit touchy here. I feel marriage is just such a wonderful thing and people have just taken it so lightly into what it actually is and have used it so loosely in their lives and turned a "wedding" into something so material. I'm not saying its wrong to have a big beautiful wedding with a big beautiful gown, by all means, if you can do it, do it. But be graceful during this process and remember why you are doing what you are doing to begin with. Big beautiful weddings are just as described, big and beautiful, but are so most importantly because of the two people that are about to be wed and the love that they have to grow together in this world. Enjoy it. Acting ridiculous in the process is just a little much for me.
I could go on and on about this, but I think I'm almost ready to wrap up -
This show drives me crazy. If bridezillas are more concerned about what they are wearing, jewelry, and getting such materialistic things rather than their fiancee and "promise", maybe they aren't ready to get married and need to get over themselves first. This one girl seriously was more concerned with her ring and the cost of it than their actuall financial situation just because it was the ring "she wanted." She was more concerned with how much her ring cost than the fiancee was. Sad. At that point when you are getting your own ring, it just seems like you are marrying yourself. The fiancee was just staring at her like, "babe, really? we can't afford this.." and looking at her like, kinf of hurt, because he had already gotten her a ring. This episode was crazy.
I love my rings. I would love whatever I would have had. I would feel so because it defines something wonderful and indescribable that is shared between the two of us. We were so blessed to be able to have a wedding. They're tough work. I'm just a sentimental fuck and turning into sap now, I need to go!
Will edit later, with pictures of delicious eye candies of ladies I know in my blessed life. :)
snow days,
full of themselves,
