Things I've Learned About Myself

These are kind of random... Some might be deeper than others, but here are some things I have recently learned about myself.

1) I have a lot of recurring themes in my dreams. I've had a lot of dreams about Harry Potter, going to Prom/some big high school event, losing my shoes, driving and a lot of dreams wondering around a mall I don't know that looks vaguely familiar. I feel like I can kind of analyze some of them, but I'm not really an expert or anything. For example my dreams about driving used to always happen when I was a teenager about to get my license. I still don't have my license, but I don't get these dreams as often as I used to. It pretty much always goes that my mom is somewhere (usually my grandparents house I think) and for some reason I need to drive myself home. There are usually toys in the back seat, but like older toys that I don't have anymore and I go like "oh that's where they are." I feel like this is just a dream about growing up and trying to make mature and responsible decisions. I don't want to drive the car because I don't know how to drive, but I always know I have to anyway.

My most recent dream like this was a little different though. I'm not totally sure where I was, but I had to drive my moms car home and in this dream I could see out the window... usually I only see the back seat and not the front. And there weren't any toys there was a little girl that I was afraid I was going to hit. I feel like this is a symbol of me looking into my future instead of my past and how it will effect others... very deep actually.It felt like a nightmare at the time, but now I think it might be more positive?

As for the Harry Potter dreams I just think that's something cool. I have more Breaking Bad dreams than Harry Potter dreams now. And I'm always at the mall, I worked at a mall for years so that makes sense. Losing my shoes I still don't understand, but I haven't had one of those dreams in a really long time. And prom doesn't happen often, but its happened at least twice.

2) On TV, I almost prefer when a couple is together on the show and gets married rather than when they have the whole "will they or won't they" going on... although I am liking New Girl and The Mindy Project for those reasons... I feel like there's something about the relationships that usually make the show stronger. I just want people to be with the love of their life and be married forever. Monica and Chandler were my favorite couple on Friends, not Ross and Rachel. I think Parks and Rec has been way more interesting now that Ben and Leslie are together and April and Andy are together. I don't know, there's just something to the whole tv relationship thing that I really like.

3) I'm a believer in Astrology. I mean to some extent, if I hear someone talking about astrology I'll kind of think it's bullshit... but I know there's something to it. I'm a Libra and I feel like my life is all about balance. That is probably why I like it so much in television when couples get together... lol. I'm very indecisive because I'm very open-minded and I weigh decisions of both sides. Even if I disagree with someone, unless they say something totally ignorant I will see their side of the argument.

4) Another reason why I believe in astrology is that I've only ever been attracted to Capricorns and maybe a few other Libras. I've read things that say Libras admire Capricorn's and I totally believe that. I wouldn't be attracted to someone I didn't have any respect for, and because Libras respect Capricorns... it just makes sense to me. I also feel like a lot of the Capricorn traits do balance out the Libra traits... so it makes sense to me. I don't know. There's something to that.

5) I feel like I'm kind of a jealous person in general, but not with relationships really. I don't know I feel like it would be super hard to make me jealous or angry. I do think that sometimes girls need to know when to back off of guys... and a lot of times I'll be jealous of things that other people have... but I don't think I'll ever be super jealous to the point where it keeps me up at night plotting revenge or something like that. I kind of feel like I'm living the best life that I can live, another person's life might be great for them... but it wouldn't be for me really because I like who I am. Sometimes I'll be jealous of what another person has... but it wouldn't be a jealousy that lasts very long. This is
probably a more recent thing that's happened. Not sure when exactly, I feel like I was super jealous of people in high school... but whatever. My life is more stable now I think, so I guess that makes sense.

6) Back to dreams- I've pretty much only had romantic dreams about comedians in the past 5 years or so. Zach Galifinakis, Aziz Ansari, Joel McHale, Doug Benson I think was in there. These aren't people I find attractive in real life but I am quite a big fan of the first 3... not that I don't like Doug Benson, but I don't know him all that well to say that I like him or not. There has also been the cast of Glee a few years ago, The Red Power Ranger, and other people that I've been attracted to in real life. And Jesse Pinkman maybe. That's about it. I read that sex dreams are about people that you want to be more like, and these weren't sex dreams... but I guess I want to be more like those people since I do want to be a comedian. When the Glee dreams happened i watched A TON of Glee... same with Breaking Bad and Power Rangers... but I do admire the leadership skills and fighting power of the Red Power Ranger... so that makes sense.

I also posted this a day before I should have... Oops.

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
