New Year, New Boys

Victoria's Secret has a shirt that says: New Year, New Boys. I want it. Lizzy has it, and I am jealous every time I see her picture in it. She also has one that says "Warm Me Up" and I considered getting the "Let's Makeout" shirt, but that might have been a little much and we all know Spaniards would take it quite literally. Not that they ever need an invitation to feel it is their right to kiss you.

This year has been so full of change that I feel like I have been living in some ridiculous whirlwind of someone else's life, of which I sit and watch and laugh at, constantly surprised at the ridiculous things that occur. Sometimes I wonder if I had a camera following me around like on The Hills, if I wouldn't be more famous than all those blonde idiots simply because there are so many creepers in my life. Regardless, this year I am determined to make a few adjustments. I can't complain about a single thing that has happened in 2010; 2010 was one of my favorite years so far. Which means 2011 will take a lot to top it, and I can't wait :)
