hi.

it's been a while since I've shared my life story on here.

so long, in fact, that I don't even know where to begin right now.

I guess I'll start with... I turned 25. what?! my birthday was the day after Thanksgiving. to celebrate a few friends and I went to a local Irish sports bar for dinner and some drinks. after that, "e-baby" and I went over my uncles house for a small party.

1. with Carrie and Olivia ;; 2. with Randy and Carrie

and now I'll recap one of my favorite weekends of the year. the time I went to Buffalo, NY. I trekked out to Buffalo with my friend Carrie, my cousin Curtis, his girlfriend, and two of his buddies. Carrie and I jammed out to some country music, and 90s throwbacks, with a few new hits thrown in (like TSwift's Shake It Off). once we finally made it to our hotel, we all pre-gammed while watching Ohio State beat Michigan! then we decided to go burn the town down. we started off at Duff's Sports Bar. we heard they are famous for their wings, which we all ordered, and were delicious. after a few beers and a couple games of air hockey, we trekked over to another bar/bowling alley. we drank more and played some pool. before making our way to a small dive bar and then heading to the last bar of the night, where we played some kinda disc bowling game and listened to some good tunes.
the next day we got rowdy at Ralph Wilson Stadium. my Brownies lost, but other than that, it was a fantastic time. the Bills fans were nice, overall. we got some boo's but I wouldn't expect anything less. we just barked back at em. and we got along well with the Bills fans that sat by us. we chatted and talked smack. it was awesome. we already decided that we're going back to Buffalo.

let's see, what else is there...

Halloween. the annual Lane Halloween party was awesome, as always. this year I went as Katniss Everdeen. "I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!"

E-baby. I mentioned him above. but I met this guy. he's pretty cool I guess. so we'll let him stick around for now.

movies. I've watched many, many movies. but I'll only list a few here...

Lets Be Cops: hilarious. seriously, hilarious. watch it.
22 Jump Street: not as funny as I thought it'd be, but still pretty good.
The Purge Anarchy: I liked it a lot more than the first Purge movie. if you watched the first, watch this one too.
I'll Be Home For Christmas: I don't know why I've never seen this movie, but I'm glad I changed that. even after all these years have passed I still thought it was a good movie, it kept me laughing.
Now You See Me: I actually liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. I'd recommend it.
Blended: sorry, Adam Sandler, but this wasn't very good.
Oculus: I liked this horror movie. I would have thought it was amazing if the ending was slightly different. I understand why they ended it the way they did, but I also would've liked to see it end differently.

fantasy football. I was in a league with my two cousins, aunt, uncle, and some friends. it was a great league. I came in 4th place, out of 8 (being one of two girls, I'd say that's pretty good). we talked smack, had some hard losses, and some fantastic under-dog wins. I can't wait til next year!

healthy lifestyle. I've stayed with it for the most part. my workouts were slim between summer and now, just because of my ankle, which still isn't 100%. I finally was able to run a little bit last week, but it's still a slow process. eating wise, I've been doing alright. it was difficult with all that Halloween candy floating about.

I think that's all I have for now. I'll try to get another post up after Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
