My Favorite Quotes, Part 2! L

If you know me, you know I LOVE quotes. I'm always coming to school and telling some of my friends my favorite quote of the moment. I decided to make a new post, where I can add some of my favorite quotes because I adore quotes! Feel free to post your favorite quotes in the comments below :)

I dont have to express myself the way you want me to.
I'm freeing myself from
those who hate, those who find my faults, those who judge me. Make the
most out of your own life, find your own success, and live out your own
desires. Make a name for yourself because it is possible. Don't pretend
that by hurting me, you'll be any better.

You've made me
stronger.
Thank you for making me stronger.

"People are gonna talk about me, especially when they envy me, I might as well let them talk, because I affected their lives, they didn't affect mine!"

"Stand up for what you believe in, even if you're standing alone."

"For all of you who talk about me thanks for making me the center of your world."

"It is better to be hated for what you are then to be loved for what you are not."

"Makeup is only the icing on the cake - it doesn't create your personality or your being."

"Beauty without virtue, is like a rose without a scent."

I FOUND THIS QUOTE AND IT'S KINDA EXPLICIT IF YOU'RE YOUNGER HAHA. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

"Don't worry about me or what I do. What happens in my life has nothing to do with you. So keep your mouth shut and stop talkin' shit, because I'm sick of you bitchin' and all you bullshit.

WORKOUT 2010

So many of you girls and guys know that I posted my "How i'm Getting in Shape & Gaining Confidence" blog post yesterday. I have received a super overwhelming amount of support via YouTube Messages, @replies on Twitter, Blog comments, ect. I am blown away! I didn't expect that much support and kind words! I really do appreciate everyone being so kind and sweet about everything. I was thinking about it all day! And following in the footsteps of my one of my "YouTube Big Sisters" Vanewpc AKA Vanessa, I decided to create a goal for the year. Hers is called Glossout 2010. I decided to create something similar, called Workout 2010.

Some people have been asking me, "how do you join Workout 2010"! There's no forms or anything! You just have to tell yourself that you're doing it and you will stick with it!

Basically, it doesn't mean you have to workout every day! It can be different for everyone. It means that we are going to get healthy! No more "I couldn't" thoughts. You can, and I think I am living proof! I mean, looking at my before picture, I hope there's a difference! I'm 1/2 way to my goal "image" or the way I want to look.

For me, #WORKOUT2010 will mean that I have to work out 5/7 days a week GUARANTEED. I can work out more if i'm up for it, but I am required (by my choice!!) to workout 5/7 days! I also have to eat healthy and make smart decisions! This can be different for everyone! You can make your own rules so it can fit your lifestyle, let's get fit!

Let me know what your plans are! I think i'll treat this blog as a kind of "healthy" blog now. Maybe i'll do some recipes, my workouts, maybe some food diaries? We'll see...

xoxoxoxo

We can do this :)

My 'Animal' Mentality

So a lot of you have been asking me "Why do you care about animals so much?" and "How in the world can you feel more sympathy for an animal?!?!". This will basically be my story of how I got my mentality!

I remember it super clear. I was 4 years old, and driving back from my family's country house (like all my family in Canada). I was in my booster seat, sitting happy as a clam, and I saw one of those Ford trucks, you know the ones with a small front and long rectangular area to put things? Well in the open trunk, lay a Moose or a deer, i'm not sure. He was still alive. I was scarred for life.

From that day foward, I was all about giving a voice to those who couldn't speak. I was scarred by what I saw. The look in his eyes have haunted me forever. I know it sounds silly. Believe it or not, animals do have feelings and thoughts. They can feel pain, feel love, feel animosity. How is it right that cosmetic companies burn their skin, irritate their eyes, shave them? All for what? A lipstick? A mascara? So when some ignorant people say that i'm using Animal testing as an excuse not to buy drugstore products, i'm really not.

As for hunting, this is just my opinion. If you depend on hunting for substinence and living like the Aboriginals did, go ahead. It's your food. You aren't doing this for SPORT. But if you're doing this for fun, as a hobby, that is just plain sick and sadistic to me. Shooting an innocent animal to hang it's head on your wall is disgusting. Shooting a buck to put his antlers on top of your fireplace is repulsive.

I have always believed that Animals truly do have souls, thoughts, and emotions. I know that my Babies can sense everything. One thing I will never get is how a person could kick, burn, torture an animal for fun. I really don't!

Some AMAZING organizations to prevent animal cruelty:

http://www.peta.org

http://www.rescueink.org => Possibly my favorite show ever. These men are inspiring.

Haters.

Instead of flooding the Twitter pages of many of my followers with tweets about haters, I decided to write one blog post! Read it if you want, but I won't be offended if you don't!

Many of you know that I am hated on, every single day by the 'anonymous' cowards. Every day. It doesn't hurt me at all, because I know who I am and what's true or not. Being called 'fat' really doesn't bother me. Being called a 'slut' doesn't affect me at all. Why? Because I know i'm not fat and I know i'm not a slut. If you knew me *really*, you would know that I am actually far from.

In all honesty, I pity these people. If they were truly happy with their lives and content with the life they're living, they wouldn't feel the need to put me down and hate on me. The only person who can make me feel bad about myself is me. I know who I am, and there is no way on God's green Earth that some anonymous idiots are going to hurt me. I am too strong for that.

These people must have:

1) No lives and they're jealous of me.

2) Weird, messed up lives.

3) A serious Psychological disorder.

I don't see how a person with proper and healthy psychological and mental health can gain happiness from saying mean words to someone. Really. They need activities and purpose in their lives.

Okay, i'm done venting :)

Update!

Hi!

Long time, no post... Right?

I'm so bad with having 2 things going at once. Two Twitters= Fail. Two Blogs= Epic fail. I hardly ever update this which is really bad, but I am going to try to update more often since a ton of things are changing in my life.

A lot of my Twitter girls know I have been on a health kick lately! I have to say that 99.9% of the reason I want to tone up is for me. I want to feel better about myself! But there is that .1% of me that wants to tone up so that people on YouTube and Formspring can't use my weight against me. Is that stupid?

I mean, those comments don't cause me to cry or starve myself... but they did give me a little push. You wouldn't believe how many comments I get a day telling me that i'm fat and no amount of makeup and Louis Vuitton bags will cover that up.

These people honestly have no lives and I truly believe karma will bite them in the booty. I believe that the type of energy (positive or negative) you put into the world is the type of energy you will receive. So I think all those people who feel the need to be rude, will get their share in the future :) SO KEEP ON HATIN' :)

That's all I wanted to say for tonight

This needs to be said.

Hey Dolls,

I think this post needed to be done sooner or later, and I figured why not do it today. I need to get this off my chest and I think a lot of people need to read this before they make assumptions about my life, financial situation, ect.

I have been receiving a lot of hate recently from people on Formspring.me which is basically a website where you can ask me anonymous questions. People have been calling me spoiled, a brat, a whore and all mean and nasty names.

I think these people are sad. I would have much more respect for you if you told this to me on your account and didn't hide behind the anonymous factor that formspring offers.

People are assuming that my parents are 'rich' and that i'm spoiled and get everything I ask for. People are assuming that my parents buy my makeup, high end hair products (Joico) and everything else I ask for. I am being completely honest here. I'm not going to lie and say my family is on welfare because we are not, but we are in no way 'rich'. We are well off, comfortable and happy but no where near drowning in money at all.

I have to say that my parents have done an amazing job at keeping us humble. One of the bars my family owns is in a bad part of town and I see (far too often) what it can be like to have no home, no money,ect. I am GRATEFUL even if some people think I am not.

Some of you know that someone burnt down one of my family's bars on purpose because they were jealous of his sucess and this past year has been extremely difficult. Not only did we have to re-build a huge bar but people are constantly trying to sabotage his success (stealing over $15,000, cutting wires,ect) and things have not been easy.

It is not right for you to assume that my parents are 'rich', my parents buy my makeup or that I am spoiled because I am not.

I buy all of my makeup, MYSELF. I buy my hair products, MYSELF.

I save my money. I get money from birthdays, holidays, baby sitting, chores, ect. Please keep in mind that I do not have to pay any bills, don't owe any money, don't own a car, ect, so that really helps. All the money I make, I can spend on what I want.

My parents and I are firm believers in rewards for good jobs. Some of you know the deal I made with my Mom if I get over 85% on my report card. People are torturing me with rude comments about this, as well as other things. I am done with this. You don't like it... don't read it. Not my problem.

I am done with people writing rude comments and questions on formspring. Please grow a pair and ask on your own account.

Another thing:

There is this rumor going around that I do not like a certain guru. I have NEVER said I do not like her. I just do not like some things that she does (lies) and the fact that she is lowering herself just to make money off of anything. It is my opinion and everyone is allowed to have one.

Sorry that this post was kinda mean, but it needed to be said.

my current favorite lyrics and why.

It's My Life lyrics by Bon Jovi

This ain't a song for the brokenhearted
No silent prayer for the faith departed
And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive

(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just wanna live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky, gotta make your own breaks

I have always been the type of person to be scared of authority. I have always followed the rules, never got in trouble and lived inside the box. I never ventured cross the borderline, never pushed my limits at school, and now I realize how much of a mess this got me in.

I am so self conscious at school. I worry about what people think about me, I know I shouldn't but I can't help it. I had an epiphany today:

-I only get this one life, and I don't want to be 85 thinking I should have had fun in high school.

So I am going to start having fun, and being myself everywhere.
