7:12 am!

Hey Everyone!


I finally found some free time & energy to make a post. There is a lot to say in not a big way. Does that make sense? If not, then oh well. If so, then great!

Okay, so as you read from my previous post. I have a new baby cousin! His name is Tristan. =) The story is quite funny. He came 4 weeks sooner than scheduled. What a sneaky little fellow! Well, my mom thought that my stepdad told me about his birth yesterday morning (he was born at 7:12 am) but, he didn’t. He thought that she told me. So, there was a BIG miscommunication there. So, I didn’t learn about his birth until 6 pm by whom, his father. -.- He called asking to talk to my mom about the birth of Tristan. This is what the conversation constituted of:

Uncle: Hey! Shana? This is Pascal, Is your mom there?

Shana: No, she’ll be home in about 30 minutes. Want to leave a message?

*Mathilde (other cousin) cries in the background*

Shana: Ohhhh what’s going on? You pinching her butt?

Uncle: Hahaha no, she’s crying because she wants her mom.

Shana: She running behind at work?

Uncle: No…she’s at the hospital. =|

Shana: What? What’s wrong? Is the baby okay?

Uncle: Shana…. You didn’t hear?

Shana: Oh my god! The baby died?

Uncle: Well, last I heard he was breathing and crying his heart out. Shana…Tristan was born this morning.

Shana: And no one cared to inform me? Oh gee…Now I remember why cell phones and parents exist.

Uncle: *chuckles*

Shana: *frowns*

We pretty much finish our conversation at that because Mathilde was getting out of hand. I can’t believe the miscommunication. =
Like, I would be upset that I got phoned during class for the terrific news. Psh.

Well, now we got to wait for the third child so I can be the godmother! =) Yes, third child will by my godchild. YAY! I love Mathilde to pieces and now I have Tristan to spoil!

Other than the lovely birth of Tristan…my friends have became incredibly annoying. Thank goodness for Jon and Matt. Who save me from becoming officially insane. I’m fed up with the fact that it’s all about criticizing every action that one does and wanting to become drunk on a weekday, fucking pathetic. Mom says it’s because of my maturity level. I’m 18 and them 17. My uncle said it’s because I started drinking before them…but, I corrected the facts and told him that they have started drinking before me. My best friend introduced me to alcohol during our ski trip.

They also keep on insulting on my lunches. Saying how its not “healthy”, apparently eating a PB&J sandwich is worse than pasta/ham or a grilled cheese. I personally don’t count calories nor compare what is better to this or that. But, I do know that a grilled cheese isn’t better than a PB&J sandwich.

It’s just frustrating. Thank god when they leave next year. I might be friendless but, I’ll no longer have the hassle of putting up with them. This might make me sound anti-social. I honestly don’t care. But, if you were here and spent a day or so with me then you would completely understand.

Thanks to Jon and his morning chats to me before I head off to school, I feel so much better. That is…until I see my friends. I really can’t wait to return to the states. I wish I could return now. =( Anyone want a cool 18 year old who can cook?

Speaking of cooking! I’m making Carbonara (sp?) tomorrow! My first time making it! I’ll try to remember to take a photo of the final outcome of my challenge! Let’s hope I do it well. =P It is for supper. Worst case scenario is my parents throwing it away and going out to eat. =


I would also like to thank ALL my followers and my daily readers and for all the comments. I really do appreciate it. I’m glad you guys like the blog so far! Again, feel free to give me topic ideas and such. Feel free to give constructive criticism.

I’ll leave this post at this.

Questions of the day:

Has/Did it become the point where you try NOT to see your friends because, they are that much a pain in the butt?

Do you like cooking and are you good at it? If not, what else do you like to do?

Yours Truly,

Shana

To be drunk or not to be? That is the question!

"Please....5 more minutes! I don't wanna get up!!!" - Shana, after a night out.

The side effect(s) of going to bed late and getting up early :

• 
  
  Extreme fatigue.
  
  
  
• 
  
  Eye Pain.
  
  
  
• 
  
  Headache.
  
  
  

Side effect(s) of not eating since 8 pm till 12pm :

• 
  
  Extreme hunger.
  
  
  
• 
  
  No energy.
  

This is what we all have or will suffer from. Everyone knows what it feels like waking up after a long night out of clubbing and drinking. You feel like shit and try to remember where you left half of your belongings. We know that we will probably feel like hell the next day yet, we still get drunk as hell and dance like there is no tomorrow.

I personally think, that after a certain amount of clubbing and alcohol intake that we get fed up with it and try to find something else that is even more exciting. My friends LOVE going clubbing. We've only started for about...8 months now? We always go to the same club and it is as if the same thing ALWAYS happens. It also seems like that I can't get drunk or even tipsy anymore.

So I went bowling last night with my friends. Very good stuff. I won the second game of bowling. I bought my best friend a "birthday drink", which was a Tequila Sunrise. (The guy did a shitty job at making them.) Well, it's all fun and games until they say "hey let's go out and smoke." x 20. It's the same thing when we go clubbing...except its x 1313513513. I don't mind people smoking but I do mind when it means I have to stand outside in the damn cold because none of my friends are non smokers. It's total and utter crap!

Now you're probably thinking, "Shana, Where is this post leading us to?"

My answer, "I have no fucking idea."

I guess that I'm sort of rambling...I mean...people say we don't need alcohol to have a good time or we don't need a lot. We usually agree but then say how we need to get INSANELY drunk at the next party. I don't mind drinking alcohol beverages. But, I do agree that we DO NOT need alcohol to have a good time. I do agree, that drinking a few glasses before going clubbing is fine seeing how its hell of a lot expensive at the club. But, do we really need to drunk before, during AND after? I never understood of an "after party". Sure, to hang out more with your friends but to get even more drunk? What's the point, to get into a coma?

My good friends have extremely changed during the last 3 months, it is ALL about alcohol now. It's not about having a good time or just relaxing. We got to be drunk ALL the time and get the most guys. Even at a "all girls movie night", there HAS to be alcohol. I'm not saying that if you're 18 and older and you and your friends want to have a nice movie night together with some beer, wine or something then that's fine. But, getting completely watted? (Unless, you are having a really bad time.) Is it really necessary?

My 3 friends are 16 & 17, I think its over exaggerated that they need to be drunk 24/7. I also find it insane that they always have to write on Facebook and at school say, "I need Vodka..NOW!!!" I don't know if it's the "cool" thing now a days. But it does seem to be a new trend to always talk about getting drunk, being drunk, or needing to be drunk.

Questions of the Day:

Is it just my friends or the area I live in? Or is it like this in your area too?

What's your opinion on alcohol, tobacco, and drug intake?

Yours Truly,

Shana

 

P.S. I hope everyone is enjoying the blog and don't forget to vote for the poll!!!

To make it easier I thought id just give an example of each colour.


Pink: There was this man who walked into a bar and says to the bartender 10 shots of whiskey. the bartender  asks, "What's the matter?"


purple 1 The man says, "I found out my brother is gay and marrying my best friend." 

black:  The next day the man walks into the bar and orders 12 shots of whiskey" 


Purple:  The bartenders asks, "What's wrong this time?" 

The man says, "I found out that my son is gay." 

Red: The next day the same man comes in the bar and orders 15 shots of whiskey. 

Then the bartender asks, "Doesn't anyone in your family like women?" 

The man looks up and says, "Apprently my wife does." 

Enjoy the jokes guys :)

M 

Penis or Breasts? How about not at all.

Yo Shorty! It's ya birthday! We're gonna party likes its ya birthday! Lalalalalalalala!

I really need to stop starting my articles with songs, pretty soon everyone will be deaf...or blind? Either way, from my horrid singing. (Audio sound soon to come of me singing? Why not leave a comment if you want me to or not!)

Let's guess what the topic of the day is going to be! Okay..I'll give you a 10 seconds to think of something..........STOP! Freeze your thought.

If you are a guy (homosexual), you are then probably thinking of : Penis!

If you are a guy (heterosexual), you are then probably thinking of : Breasts!

If you are a female (lesbian), you are then probably thinking of : Breasts!

If you are a female (heterosexual), you are then probably thinking of : Penis!

You people are too sexual! I swear, is that ALL you think about?! Hate to break it to y'all but it's niether Penis nor Breasts. It's in fact...BIRTHDAYS! Yes, that's the topic. For the ones who were not thinking of the precedent and thought it was "birthdays" then bravo!

Well...I was born on Wednesday, June 4, 1991, at 3:15 pm! I was also born in Holland! Yes, the one country that would actually allow my mom to give birth to me. (No one wants insane babies in their country.)

=(

This past Wednesday was my best friend's birthday! She's now 17 and tonight we are going out to celebrate! Sadly, we are not going clubbing. =( We are going out to eat then off to bowling which is just as fun.

I don't know about you guys but, it takes me FOREVER to get ready. But, not "physically" ready but mentally. I got to get myself motivated (which takes forever) and got to do a big list of things before, which makes me semi sad. Maybe it's just me? I just hate how the time passes by before going out and how you didn't do half the things that needed to be done.

I just find it annoying. I also hate it, that when you arrive at your destination; You realize that your outfit wasn't great at all or your jean has a stain on it. A real bummer!

So, my questions of the day are:

When is your birthday and where were you born? Do you know what exact time or not?

Do you hate having to do A LOT of things before going out with friends and not having enough time?

Do you hate when you realize something is wrong with your outfit when you arrive at your destination?

Yours Truly,

Shana

P.S. Look at the right side of this blog page. You'll see I have an icon! Made by your's truly! =)

Boom Boom Pow?

I got that boom boom pow! Lalalalala....Okay, none of my horrid singing. I'll leave that to the professionals.

Well....Hello! Glad to have you here on my blog. I'm sure you're quite curious on who I am. But, I won't tell you...or will I? Fine. I'll tell you but only because I don't like to be secretive about myself. So, lets get started with this "Hi, I'm blah blah blah. And you are?"

Name: Shana

Age: 18 years old

Sexuality: Straight

Relationship Status: Single & Semi loving it!

Location: Small town in France.

Nationality: Belgian-American.

Family: 1 Brother (Age:21) and I live with my lovely mother and stepfather! =)

Pets: 1 silly dog named Asti.

Education: I'm a sophmore getting a BAC PRO in secretary.

Hobbies: Reading, Chatting, Going out (partying & bowling), Hanging out with my friends.

Nicknames: Shanars, Shane, and Pookie.

That's the basic information about me! I'm sure that over time, you'll learn more about me and my friends. Yes, I'll present you my 4 good friends. =) Now, you are probably thinking...Only 4?! I'd like to point out the bold italic word "good". I have LOADS of friends who are gay and lesbian. But, they're the ones I talk to everyday and whom I'd call a "true friend".

Ladies and Gentlemen....Let me present you them and one day, I'll present an article for each one with a story about each of them. They are in no direct order.

Bobby: He's my wonderful dorky asian friend. He's my "duckie". He is not the butt of our jokes but, we love teasing with him.

John: He's my concious. Always directing me from good and bad. Telling me how to do things and looking over my shoulder. He could pass as my father. Love him to death. With him, I'm the one that is teased and messed with.

Jon: My secret lover in denial...or is it me the one in denial of his homosexuality? Who knows! We'll laugh about the most stupidest and most random thing. Won't take much to put our smile on our faces. I always enjoy our fantastic conversations with John and him.

Matteo: My therapist..literally. Always there to put up with my mood swings and is the one that always cheers me up one way or another. He comes to me for writing questions or internet expressions that he doesn't get and vice versa with me.

Matteo is my foundation,

John is my walls,

Jon is my roof,

and

Bobby is the decoration.

They help me be who I am. I learn something new with them every day. Without them, I'd be a big puddle of human and we all know that would be scary.

So, my question(s) of the day are....What do you have to tell me about yourself? Are your friends everything for you too? If so, how come? Feel free to leave a comment! =)

Yours Truly,

Shana
