Day #5: A Picture of somewhere you've been to.
I've been to quite a few places locally. So I thought that writing about one of those places would be best. One of the first places I thought of writing about was Venice Beach, Ca.
The beach is beautiful and this picture doesn't really do it much justice. I went in March so I didn't spend much time at the beach itself, but that is one of the best parts of Venice. What I mean by that is there are so many other interesting things about Venice. There is a freak show that was fun. Not as freaky as I would of thought but it was fun. When I went it was $5 a person to get in and we saw some really neat things. We saw animals with two heads, a guy who swallowed swords, and a contortionist.
Here is a two headed lizard we saw. This little guy was really neat. It was almost like he had two sets of lungs. I also thought his coloring was pretty.
This is the two headed turtle outside the freak show. This is the way they lure you in lol.
The sword swallower kind of freaked me out. He started with balloons then moved to the sword. He was also a bit comedic which eased the tension. After watching him and the contortionist preform, which lasted about 10 minutes, we were able to move to the other area of the show and check out the animals and some alien related things. It was a neat show for only $5. I say give it a try.
My favorite thing about Venice Beach is the people watching. There are so many people there. As you walk Venice there are shops on one side of you and people with stalls, shows, making things, dancing, drawing, singing, you name it people are doing it. To see so many personalities in one place is great. People display all kinds of talents. They don't really ask for anything but are always accepting donations for their talents.
I also thought these were amazing. Someone must of spent a lot of time making these. This is just one of many characters made from what looked to be spare parts. They ranged in size from huge like the one in the picture and as small as a baby doll. At any size they were too expensive for my taste.
The one thing about Venice that I didn't like at all was the restrooms. They were far apart and on top of that they were absolutely disgusting.
It isn't a glamorous place or an upscale beach but it was interesting and fun and I would definitely go again. Have you ever been to Venice or to a place that is great for people watching?

Day #3: A picture of You and Your Friends
Here are some pictures of me and my best friend. I have other friends too lol, but none quite as awesome as Katie. We have known each other since kindergarten. Although we were separated for a few years, we came back together in 7th grade at the bus stop lol. I love her like a sister. Her and her family have been there for me in so many ways and I can't express my gratitude enough. I remember when we were younger and I would spend weeks at her house. We would play very serious games of Monopoly that would go on for days at a time. We had our first jobs together working in a snack bar for little league baseball. We spent a good majority of our teenage birthdays together, and most of them were celebrated at Disneyland. I could go on and on about the trips we took and how much fun we had, but if I did this post would be never ending lol. I love my bestie and her family oh so very much and as far as best friends go, I would have to say I have the best.
Day #2: My Relationship Status: Happily Taken :)
Rey is an amazing man. I love him so much. He is such a big kid at heart. The picture above was taken at Disneyland on Its a Small World. That trip was so fun. You know you are going to have a good time when you do things like that with Rey. All the kid in him comes out. He is pretty easy going and doesn't stress a lot. I wish I could be more like that. There are so many qualities about him that I adore. His work ethic, sense of humor, carefree attitude, and his ability to let things go. What I appreciate the most about him is the way he loves and accepts me, flaws and all.
I would consider my relationship status to be awesome. Lol! I believe that me and my boyfriend have an awesome relationship. We have been together almost 5 years. It is crazy to say that. When I look back on our relationship it feels like a lot longer than 5 years (I mean that in a good way). We have been through a lot of struggle in those 5 years and have come out strong. I am hoping that by this time next year we will be married and thinking about children. Is our relationship perfect? No it isn't. Like any relationship we have our ups and downs but we work through them. Is he perfect well of course not, but he is mine and I love him. And I would say he feels the same :)
Since I am new to blogging I thought I would give one of those 30 day challenges a try. I just Googled it and this is the one I decided to go with:
I found this one to be interesting and fun to write. So here goes nothing!
Day #1: Post a picture of yourself, and 10 facts about yourself:
10 Facts:
- Pink is my favorite color.
- I am 27 and have never had my drivers license.
- I never leave the house without a camera, whether its my digital camera or the camera on my phone. I actually carry my digital camera in my purse at all times lol. You never know when a picture perfect moment will occur.
- I didn't graduate high school in 2003 with my class. I went back to school in 2010 and got my GED, passing with a score of 2940. Honestly that score frustrates me knowing I was only 60 points away from 3000.
- I am very hard on myself and would in fact say I am my own worst critic. From school to writing this blog, I want perfection lol. I guess that would be my biggest downfall.
- I have known my best friend since kindergarten.
- My biggest fear is that I will never get the chance to be a mother.
- Cooking is one of my favorite ways to relax along with listening to music.
- I am very nervous to graduate college and have no idea where to go from there. I have never had the education to apply for better jobs and now that I will, I have no clue where to apply.
- My current goal is to graduate college with a 4.0 GPA.
So there you have it. 10 facts about who I am. I wasn't quite sure in what direction to take this, so I just wrote what came to mind. It feels some what peculiar to just share my feelings with the world not knowing how it will be perceived but I think that is part of the fun and enjoyment of this as well. Anywho, I hope you all have a wonderful evening :)
Hi! My name is Desiree and I am 27 years old. I reside in Southern California and although it isn't the best of areas, it isn't the worst either. I live with my boyfriend Rey. We have been together almost 5 years and no we don't have children lol. I am currently a student at San Bernardino Valley College. I am going for an AA in Business Administration and an AA in Accounting. I am a serious student and am proud to call myself a nerd. I am expected to graduate spring of 2014. My best friend is a blogger and a while back she mentioned that I should blog. At first I just giggled and shrugged the idea off. After giving it some thought, I figured why not. I am not sure exactly what I will blog about, but I can guarantee it will have a lot to do with school. I think I will blog about everyday life, the ups and downs, the boring days, the fun days, my stresses, and well just put myself out there. I consider my life slightly boring but I am blessed. I have a wonderful man by my side, awesome friends and family, and am trying to reach my goals one step at a time. I hope that my blogs aren't too boring and that you will enjoy this journey with me.
