snow-ward bound
In tomorrow (until Sunday’s) state of snow-ward boundedness, I cannot promise that I will be keeping up with my Photo-a-Day. I will still be taking them, yes. However, it is possible that I will be too busy eating dairy products, throwing snowballs, and marvelling at giant sculptures made of ice to post said photos on my tumblr. BUT be prepared for photo explosion upon my return!! ♥
P.S. I...

I easily succumb to peer pressure
thenomadsland:
Usually I hate memes. However, I feel like in February, it being the most poncey month of them all, this kind of behaviour is overlooked. (Any other takers? Sophia? Sarra? Vina? Erin? Joey? Peer pressure.)

Top Ten Signs That It's Good That You Got Out Of...
10. Your ex-boyfriend has a 6-month-old baby.
9. Your ex-boyfriend’s baby momma is insane. Not in an endearing way but the “fit-for-a-straight-jacket” kind of crazy.
8. Your ex-boyfriend used to be in a gang. And he sold drugs.
7. Your ex-boyfriend wants to be a politician.
6. Your ex-boyfriend is a Republican.
5. Your ex-boyfriend probably thinks he is smarter than you,...

I loved the idea of you more than I loved you. I still miss that idea, though.

You deserve a certain quality of love.

I am a bad grown-up because:
I haven’t finished unpacking from my trip.
Instead of finishing unpacking, I am watching Sex and the City.
Even though I went grocery shopping, I am eating a meat-and-mustard sandwich for dinner.
I don’t feel guilty about any of this.

Young Men and Military Dating
It is important to know that the United States has a large military presence in Okinawa. With bases occupying 18% of the main island, Okinawa hosts two-thirds of the 40,000 American forces in Japan. For the first 13 months of living here, I focused on the negatives (noise pollution, environmental degradation, marines are assholes). And then I met some. And some of them were assholes. But some of...
Follow your heart.
dailypeptalk:
Pep Talk: Your decisions usually turn out to be right and this one will be no different. You haven’t made any fatal errors so far and I’d call that a pretty good track record. Trust your judgment. Save yourself all the hemming and hawing and just do whatever you want. You’re going to anyway. Today remind yourself: Follow your heart.

My dating life has always been pretty ok. Some exciting things happened sometimes; however, Okinawa seems to make relationships seem like a television drama, especially when the majority of the English-speaking dating pool that I’m fishing in are young, fresh-from-America, military members.
The drama of my current situation doesn’t even seem real to me. I cannot write it out because...
