Given Up

Yes I have given up on this blog a day crap. I got more than half way through. I'm proud of myself. Oh well on to better things like going back to school tomorrow. 

Blog A Day :: DAY 17, DAY 18 & DAY 19

Day 17: Tell your favorite joke!

I really don't have a favorite joke. So I guess I will just put on I heard all my life from my dad.
"I've got Pinocchio under ware. It gets bigger every time I tell a lie."

Thanks dad. Always gives me a good laugh.



Day 18:  What are the wisest words your parents ever told you? How has that impacted you?

"I brought you in this world and I can take you out of it."

Still at 26 years old I hear this and it scares me straight every time. It never fails.

Day 19:  Explain your name. Where did it comes from? (blog names, usernames, birthname, nicknames)

I couldn't tell you where my birth name came from. My blog name "Make All Your Dreams Come True" is self explanatory.  Nicknames, well lets see, Jess Jess came from Alex when I gave him the right directions and he listened to his GPS and it took him somewhere comepletly different. I am the human GPS to Alex. To Mallory I am Severide because of my love of Chicago Fire. She is the Casey to my Severide. I don't think I have many other nicknames.

Blog A Day :: DAY 16

If there was one thing you could tell your 10 year old self, what would it be? Why? 

If I had a chance to talk to myself at 10 years old, knowing what I know now, my life would be complete different. I would of gone off to college right after high school, I wouldn't of become friends with some of the people who have come in and out of my life, I wouldn't of dated some of the stupid, asshole guys that I've dated, I would of stuck with swimming, and I wouldn't of let my weight get out of control. My life would be so much different if I had a chance to talk to my younger self. 

Blog A Day :: DAY 15

Describe your dream house.

My dream house for one, has to have a bay window in the front and a red door. It's just an East Coast thing. I want 2 stories and it has to have a library. A pool and spa in the backyard with lots of land. I want a farm with lots of animals. I would love a kitchen with a lot of room and only the best appliances. Hardwood throughout the house except for the bedrooms. Those need carpet. I want a huge laundry room. I guess that's it.

Blog A Day :: DAY 14

What is one skill you would like to learn by the end of the year? How are you going to learn it? What are you going to do with it? 

I don't think I have a skill I want to learn by the end of the year. It would be cool to learn how to sing, but that's never goin to happen. Other than that, nothing I really want to learn. Maybe the way to win in gambling. That would be nice for our trip to Reno! 

Blog A Day :: DAY 13

List 5 things that you hate, 5 things that you love, and why? 

Hate:

1. Inconsiderate people. I hate inconsiderate people who tell me that I can't voice how I feel or have an opinion because they are tired of hearing about certain subjects. 

2. Dirty Bathrooms. It's like one of my pet peeves. I hate when people leave clothes and towels are the floor, leave their hair from shaving and brushing their hair all over the counter, can't take the time to put the roll of toilet paper in tr dispenser and leave it on the counter, and when the trash it full, leave it full, keep adding to it, and not take it out. 

3. People that drive like idiots. I think everyone can relate to this one. Who doesn't hate people that drive like idiots? 

4. Bugs. Anything that crawls, flies, or slithers can die for all I care. I really, really hate bugs. 

5. People who try to be in your business. Like really? If I wanted you in my business I would of brought you into it. But if I didn't, don't force your way in and make a bigger ass of yourself. 

Love: 

1. Friends. I love my friends. Without them I would be so lost sometimes and probably institutionalized. They are amazing! 

2. Glee. I know it sounds super cheeses but over the last 4 years, Glee has changed my life. I can relate to so many of the issues they addresses. It will never be the same without frankenteen! We miss you Cory. 

3. Sports. I LOVE SPORTS. Growing up in a household with one parent, and that parent is your dad, you learn to love sports. Football, baseball, racing, you name it. I love it! 

4. Sleep. Yes I love sleep. I don't get enough of it. Being able to sleep through a full night and not wake up is a dream of mine. I am not even kidding. 

5. History. I am a history major. I love history. Anything about it, I love. So many dates, so many people, so many battles. It's perfect for me! 

Blog A Day :: DAY 12

If you could spend a day with a famous person, from today's time, who would it be? Why? What would you do? 

I think after everything that is going on in her life, I would love to spend a day with Lea Michele. Over the last 4 years I have watched her grown into a beautiful woman on my tv. In the last month she has had to deal with a devastating tragedy that has made her stronger than anyone I have ever met in my life. I have felt with tragedy before, in the same sense as Lea, but I was never as strong as she has been. I would love just to give her a hug, and tell her thank you for everything she has done for her fans. I would love to have a Spa day with her, lunch, and maybe going onset of Glee to watch some scenes be filmed. Just being with her, whatever we would do, would be just fine to me. 

Blog A Day :: DAY 11

What is your favorite treat to make? Recipe? 

My favorite treat to make is homemade whipped cream. I love making a small batch and just pigging out on it. I don't make it all that often, but when I do, it's all gone. 

Recipe: 

Heavy cream

Powdered sugar

Vanilla extract

Put all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Used handheld beater, and beat until fluffy. 

Blog A Day :: DAY 10

 What is your dream job? Explain.

I have a few dream jobs. The first one would be a sports journalist. I love sports and I love writing about them. There aren't a whole lot of women doing the job so I could really make a name for myself. The second one is something that I know I could never do but it would still be nice to dream about. I would love to be a make up artist for movies and stuff. I love make up. It would be so cool to have actor and actress friends. 

Blog A Day :: DAY 9

What is your dream date? 

Hmm a dream date. I don't think I really have a dream date. I'm not too big on over the top dates, but it would be cool to be on the sidelines of a NFl game or in the dugout of an A's game. I guess that could be considered a date. That and the night has to end with Baskin Robbins chocolate fudge ice cream. My fav! 

The Broke Life Of A College Student

Can I just say that being a broke college student sucks? Yes it does!

Blog A Day :: DAY 8

What are some of your best 'Wasting Time' websites? Links, please explain.


Let me see... where do I spend most of my time at on the internet? That's easy.

Facebook
Twitter
Pinterest
Blogger
Photobucket
Youtube

Ok! Do I really need to give an explanation on why I go to the websites or is it self explanatory? That's what I thought!

Blog A Day :: DAY 7

 What is the most exciting thing you did/are doing this month?

 I think the most exciting thing this month is probably my birthday or going back to school. Both pretty lame I know, but that's really all that is going on this month. August is normally a down month for me.

Blog A Day :: DAY 6

1What is your motto? (or) What do you tell yourself everyday?

 ""Find out who you are and do it on purpose" 

Yes that is from a movie, but I loved it so much, I would tell myself that every day in High School. It's from A Cinderella Story, you know the one with Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray? Yup that's the one. 

It's that one or ...

"He who does not weep, does not see"

Blog A Day :: DAY 5

Where is your favorite vacation spot? Would you be willing to live there full time? 

Well my favorite vacation spot I have only been to once but it was the best 2 weeks of my life. The South Pacific. Australia. Best summer of my life. Getting to travel the Soutb Pacific at 16 years old on my own was the best experience I have ever had. And yes I could live there full time. The people are so kind and it's so beautiful. That will be the place I retire. 

Blog A Day :: DAY 4

1Recommend your favorite book and sell me on it.

My favorite book... Hm... I would have to say probably 'The Scarlet Letter'. I remember reading that book my freshman year in English class and I loved it. I couldn't tell you why, I just do. I think they way that people handled things back then intrigued me so much that I just kept reading it over and over. I read it at least once a year. I am not going to try and sell anyone on reading this book because I believe that if people want to read, they will do it on their own, and those who don't want to read wont even listen to a word I have to say. 

Blog A Day :: DAY 3

What is the craziest thing you've ever done, or would do? 

I haven't really done a whole lot of crazy things in my life. I once spent my entire school district paycheck, which was almost $800, on make up. And this was at a time when I barely even wore make up. Um... Something crazy I would do? I would love to sky dive and bungee jump. Or I would go all stalker status in LA just to get a picture with me and my favorite celebs. I know I walk on the wild side right? Lol. 

Blog A Day :: DAY 2

What, if anything, would be your dream pet and why? What would you name it? 

If I could pick any pet, I think it would have to be an elephant. I love them. They are beautiful, and huge, and easy to ride on. I would name him Tiny of course. I know, I know, totally cliche' but it's just how it goes. Or his name would be Mr. Jangles. I would keep him in my backyard, and he would have his own pool to play in. 

Dear Ms Lea Michele

Let me just start off by saying that you are probably one of the strongest people I have even met in my entire life. Your entire world came crashing down and instead of letting it all go, you thought of everyone else around you. I commend  you from the bottom of my heart because I know if I was in your shoes I would not be able to go on. I have never gotten the chance to meet you, but I hope one day that will change. I feel like after 4 years of watching Glee I know you, like you are my best friend. We have all felt the heart ache you felt, all the emotions you have portrayed on TV, I have felt. I know what it was like to be the outcast in high school. I wish this show was around when I was in school because you would of been me. I just wanted to fit in. I have read so many articles about how you are falling apart, and that it totally acceptable, but when you came back to Twitter and Instagram, I felt like it was Cory telling me that if Lea is moving foward than so should I. I know what it is like to have someone you love into drugs. I know that you will probably never read this, but that is ok. Just to know that I have Thanked you for being so strong and really becoming my role model through all of this, makes me ready to move on. Cory will always be in our hearts, as will he always be in yours. So thank you for being the person I have looked up to for 4 years and to many years to come.

I love you!

Jessica

August Blog A Day :: DAY 1

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be? Share some of your favorite songs from it. 

I would have to pick Styx Grand Illusion. It was the first record I ever listened to as a kid. My dad said I was singing 'Come Sail Away' before I was speaking full sentences. It brings back so many good times with my dad and I. Back when I didn't have a care in the world. My top 3 songs from the record would have to be 'Come Sail Away' 'Fooling Yourself' and 'Miss America'. Many memories with those songs.
