my gossip girl experience
Okay, okay. We all know about my obsession with GG. Well... I went to NYC solely to find Chuck Bass.. (Not really. I went because I wanted to live my dream. And live it, I did!) Nate thinks this is annoying that I'm so weirdly obsessed enough to post about it, but this isn't for any of you GG haters! It's for my GG lovers like Whittney. I already posted these pictures on FB but this is more of a journal so I HAD to do both. I was so blissfully happy on the GG tour. But, I was also a bit disappointed to find out some of the secrets. I'll share if you'd like.. yes? Cool. Well shots like Blair's Penthouse (scroll down) aren't actually shot in those buildings. They are shot in the studio in Queens! QUEENS! I had no idea! Made me a little sad, but either way, I walked turf where my favorite people have walked!
People will ask me what the most exciting part about my trip was and I can't really pin point it. Minus the whole 100 degree extremely humid weather, it was amazing. I loved everything we did. I loved the idea of being whoever I wanted to be for just a week. And I was exactly what I wanted to be. I felt really cool in NYC. No, you think I'm joking, but I'm dead serious.
New York is a whole new world! Everything looked just as it does on TV, but it FELT completely different. When you watch TV and see these things, you feel like it's so far off. When you get there it's kind of like you're in a dream. An awesome one. Not the kind of dream you are thinking of creeps! Anyways, it's amazing. I think everyone should go there. I was seriously depressed after the GG tour. I just wanted to live their lives! Is that ridiculous? You know when guys get all bummed and ornery after their favorite sports team loses? That's how I felt. Anyways, I'm tired of babbling about this because it is making me even more sad and it's making me look even more pathetic. I'm only posting the pictures of me from Gossip Girl sites. Enjoy fellow bloggers!
How pathetic am I?

Day number 2
Challenge Day 2
Name your celebrity crush and 5 things you would do with them
 | ||
| Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass) |
You have no idea the things I would do with him... But to name a few:
1. Become his girlfriend
2. Let him use... and abuse (if he's into it) me.
3. Use (and abuse) his body.
4. Use (and abuse) his money.
5. Convert him to The Church, then marry him.
oooh sooo fine!
Admit it, Admit it.

tribute!
I have wanted to post this for awhile...
A tribute to my favorite TV show: Gossip Girl
A tribute to my favorite TV show: Gossip Girl
"All guys are jerks. But they get hotter with age, and we learn to be more tolerant."
"The faster you rise, the harder you fall."
"The best way to get over someone, is to get under someone else"
"You don't know a good thing until it's gone. And found something else."
"The faster you rise, the harder you fall."
"The best way to get over someone, is to get under someone else"
"You don't know a good thing until it's gone. And found something else."
"It's often said that, no matter the truth, people see what they want to see. Some people might take a step back and find out they were looking at the same big picture all along. Some people might see that their lies have almost caught up to them. Some people may see what was there all along. And then there are those other people. The ones that run as far as they can so they don't have to look at themselves."
"Sometimes, in an effort to spread the most outrageous rumors, we look over the very thing that's even more scandalous—the truth. An the only thing more shocking than the truth are the lies people tell to cover it up."
"They say a leopard can't change his spots. But some things do change. The path not taken can become a road trip. Being grounded can lead to something groundbreaking."
"If there's one thing I've learned, it's that there would be no gossip without secrets. You might be brave enough to reveal your secret only to have it used against you. Or someone else's secret might effect you in unexpected ways. There are some secrets you're only too happy to keep. Others surface only to be buried away deeper than they were before. But the most powerful secrets are the truths you thought you could never reveal. That once spoken change everything."
"Dreams. Everybody has them. Some good. Some bad. Some you wish you could forget. Sometimes you realize you've outgrown them. Sometimes you feel like they're finally coming true. And some of us just have nightmares. But no matter what you the dream, when morning comes, reality intrudes and the dream begins to slip away. "
"Just like the seasons, people have the ability to change. It doesn't happen very often but when it does it's almost always right. Sometimes it takes what's broken becoming whole again. Sometimes it takes opening up to new people and letting them in. But most times it takes just one person who is truly afraid to show what they feel. Getting an opportunity they never thought possible. And some things never change."
"Some endings take a long time to reveal themselves, but when they do they're almost too easy to ignore...Some beginnings start so quietly you don't even notice they're happening. But most endings come when you least expect them. And what they portend is darker than you've ever imagined. Not all beginnings are cause for celebration. A lot of bad things begin"
"Mistakes. We all make them. They usually start with the best of intentions. Like keeping a secret to protect someone. Or getting some distance from the person you've become. Sometimes we don't even know what mistakes we've made to get us where we are. Or we figure it out just in time to make it right again. But every mistake happens for a reason. To teach you a lesson you would otherwise never learn. And hopefully you never make that mistake again."
"Growing up means one thing: independence. We all want it. Sometimes we use other people to try and get it for ourselves. Sometimes we find it in each other. Sometimes our independence comes at the cost of something else. And our cost can be high. Because more often than not, in order to gain our independence we have to fight. Never give up. Never surrender. "
"There are songs that make us want to dance. Songs that make us want to sing along. But the best songs are the ones that bring you back to the moment you first heard them. And once again, break your heart. "
"Sometimes it's hard to see the lines we've drawn. Until we cross them. That's when we rely on the ones we love to pull us back. And give us something to hold on to.Then there are the clearly marked lines. The ones that if you dare cross you may never find your way back."
"With enough time eventually we all see what was right in front of us. And realize no matter how long it took, it was worth the wait. But for some, that time never comes. Instead of healing old wounds, the wait just open new ones. Time after time."
"While most people think it's our brain that controls our actions, it's often our heart that gets the biggest workout. It can make us do the craziest of things. But it can also let us take a chance on new adventures. Because when we open our heart we can explore a world of love. And be pleasantly surprised by the people already in our life. But unfortunately our hearts are very sensitive. And when they're broken everything around us is shattered."
"And all in an instant, everything changes. We leave the past behind and speed toward the unknown. Our future. We set out for far away places and try t find our self. Or try to lose ourselves. Exploring pleasures closer to home. The problems start when we refuse to let change happen, and cling to old habits. But if we hold on to the past too tight, the future may never come. 'Til death do us part."
"Sometimes, in an effort to spread the most outrageous rumors, we look over the very thing that's even more scandalous—the truth. An the only thing more shocking than the truth are the lies people tell to cover it up."

'Til death do us part."
"In the prestigious buildings of Manhattan's elite, sometimes the door we open belongs to someone else. And sometimes we let someone in, only to be left out in the cold. Yet sometimes, despite what we may want, the door just has too many locks."
You know you love me.
You know you love me.
