Another Great Place in Brooklyn


I have eaten here many times now, and this is one of John's favorite places to eat. There is no doubt why this is a favorite of his. It is a small and intimate place. The staff is amazing, and so is the food. I strongly suggest the chicken and waffles!

Pies-N-Thighs


I love southern food...No, I mean, I really love southern food! So, you would think that dating someone who lives in Brooklyn might be a bad idea. Nope, not at all! He has introduced me to a little place called Pies-N-Thighs. Needless to say, I'm in love. Of course with the man, but the food as well. It feels absurd to be chowing down on some collard greens, mac and cheese, and chicken wings in the middle of New York. But it also feels soooo good!

A Moment of Your Time...

I am officially done with my spring semester of school. I will be taking two classes this summer and an internship this fall, then I can finally graduate!!! Sometimes you go through a lot of shit in your life to find what is right for you. This holds true for me. Life is a little stressful right now, but it has been worse. I have a roof over my head, shoes on my feet and clothes on my back. I am happy!

Great Man

Urban Dictionary's Definition of Emily

The cutest girl you can ever meet. Most emily's have the most beautiful eyes which if stared in to long you may lose track of time. They also have the nicest body and the cutest smile. Emily's are the cutest most beautiful girls you may ever get to know. If you know an emily then you are considered lucky they will never leave you and is always there for you and you can trust them no matter what. If you date an emily never let them go, they will be your best friend for life no matter what through thick or thin.
Guy1: is that a super model
Guy2: no thats just emily

Puerto Rico






I am so happy that I had the chance to go to Puerto Rico, it was great! I was only there for 3 full days but I definitely made the best of it. The first day we were there we went for the longest drive to find the most amazing cave. We hiked up this mountain for a good 15-20 min and then found our cave. Bats hung from the top of the cave and our echoes carried on for what seemed like days. No words can even describe the feelings I had. We then hiked back down the mountain to go swimming in the body of water that rain at the base. I got to stand underneath this amazing waterfall, I felt like I was in some crazy dream and didn't want to wake up. So much more happened on this trip and it just made me want to travel and keep traveling. The plan is to go to Istanbul next month. I applied for my passport and should receive it within 2 weeks. I really hope this trip happens, I am ready to grow and expand my knowledge on the world around me.

Oh, and I've decided to become a Super Hero!

Feeling Good

So, this week I leave for Puerto Rico. I am extremely excited about this and just life in general right now. I love my classes this semester, I've been going to the gym every day, I start a volunteering job in a couple of weeks and I get to leave the states for a bit. I feel like I'm on a crazy high and I can't come off of it. I mean that in the most positive way possible. I went to Richmond last night to see a friend DJ and had a blast with an amazing group of people. A whole bottle of wine helped, but it would have been just as fun with out the bottle. Good week behind me and a good one to look forward to!

First Day of Classes (This Semester)

I started school today for the the Spring Semester, sounds like it's going to be a busy semester. I am really excited! In one of my classes I have to do 50 hours of volunteer work and in another class I have to observe a child for a certain amount of hours. This semester is going to be a lot of prep work and getting my feet wet. My night class on Tuesday's is only going to be held 8 times and we are to do all of our work outside of the class. No tests, kind of stoked! For the other class I have to read this book, A Child Called "It", this book is really intense. It's about a really bad case of child abuse, but to the point where you think it could be made up, it's not. I have one more class that I have not gone to yet, it is Thursday night. School is coming along, and I am getting more and more excited as the days go by!

Pretty Darn Excited!!

I just bought my plane ticket to Puerto Rico today. I have never been out of the country and I am extremely excited. I leave January 29th and return February 2nd. It will not be a long trip, but a good one. Finally I get to see something other than Virginia!

Chrysler Museum Field Trip



I thought this was one of the coolest things there! Well not really, but it was pretty neat. I put the rest of my pictures on my Flickr.

My Mood Today

The Break is Over

So, the holidays are finally over with and they were good. I was nice to see my brother during Christmas and my best friend and it was good to just lounge around a lot. I was extremely relaxed and it just felt good to be with family and friends. I requested for a sleeping bag and a tent for Christmas, I got them! So now I plan on doing a lot of camping. I ended up going to New York for New Years and that was exciting. Coney Island was covered in snow, which actually made it look like a peaceful place. I went to Coney Island years ago for a music festival and I definitely remember it looking like a crappy carnival. So to be able to see it look like a white sheet was thrown on top, was extraordinary. When I was in New York, I got to go to a couple of eclectic places to eat and I went ice skating in Central Park. All in all it was a good mini vacation with a good group of people. Now the holidays are finally over and I return to school on Tuesday. I have 5 more classes and I have to do an internship in the fall and I will finally be done! It has taken me a while to finish, but it will be worth the wait. I will probably pick to do an internship with the city of Virginia Beach as a social worker. After my internship I have come up with a few options. Option #1- The Peace Corp, Option #2-Applying to grad school and staying here until I am finished, Option #3- Sending out my resume all over the United States and see what kind of job I can land. I am really planning on option 1, I feel like it would be such an eye opener for me and it's something I am going to school for anyways. Hopefully it works out! I hoping to do a little bit of traveling before I graduate. The plan is Puerto Rico in February and Istanbul, Turkey for my spring break. I have my fingers crossed! Also this year, I get 2 new nieces or nephews. My sister is due in June and my brother and his wife are due 3 weeks behind Julie. This will be an exciting year and I am so happy it has begun.

Van Morrison


Fill me my cup
And I'll drink your sparkling wine
Pretending everything is fine
Till I see your sad eyes

Throw me a kiss
Across a crowded room
Some sunny windswept afternoon
There's none too soon for me to miss
My sad eyes
Woh oh ou, not bad eyes
A glad eyes, but you my sad eyes

Fortunate and free
And there go you and i
Between the other sky
But who are you and i
To wonder why we do so
My sad eyes - lonely

Oh what a story
Come on in all it's glory
This song that I sing in everything
For you my sad eyes

You'd better fill me my cup
And I'll drink your sparkling wine
Pretending everything is fine
Till I see your sad eyes
Woh oh ou, not bad eyes
A glad eyes, but you my sad eyes
Lonely sad eyes
