single book of matches, gonna burn whose standing in the way...

it really isn't possible for me to suck anymore when it comes to posting on this blog. really. i was in class today... not paying attention (story of my life) and looked at my bookmark bar and proceeded to click on every single one. then i clicked on my link and my instant thought was "ohhhh my god. i totally forgot. my sister is going to beat me. with a spoon." she will constantly BBM and tell me to update my blog with stories of my life but i ALWAYS forget. sorry sis. better late then never right?

well i have much to update you guys on. the summer ended and i've started back to school at NKU. I am sooooo much more happy here. seriously. the campus isn't as big, which i like and the whole not living in a dorm anymore is a definite plus. to be completely honest i am a really boring college student. my life revolves around school then going to work. i usually work 5 out of 7 days of the week 4-10. or sometimes if i'm really lucky i work 6 out of 7. by the way if you can't tell that is heavy sarcasm.

but in all seriousness i love my job. it is really easy, i meet a lot of really awesome people on a daily basis, dance in the back with my boss, make fun of people on our headsets, or go visit my friends that work in different departments. my bosses are constantly asking me on our mics where i am because they dont see me in footwear and know i'm off being a social butterfly. i cant help it, dammit! let me fly!!! but i get my job done which is most important. i can sell people pairs of shoes like its my job.... wait, it is my job.

but to be honest i like being on the go. i love to make money and be able to have freedom to go buy myself a new outfit or gas to go on little trips. speaking of trips, right before the semester started I went to visit my long lost best friend Lexi, who i have known since the 3rd grade. she moved away to Indiana in 9th grade and we lost touch for sometime but had been talking about a visit for quite sometime. and when she mentioned that John Mayer was coming to her town, i was sold.





then, on september 11th, i road-tripped it with my two friends Amy and Jarrod to Indianapolis to see one of our favorite bands the Dirty Heads. the concert was fabulous but the car rides were the best part. so much fun and sooooo many laughs.






this is jarrod. we MADE him take a picture with the half mast flag because earlier that day this happened:
"why are all the flags at half mast today? did something happen?"- Jarrod
"are you SERIOUS. whats todays date?" -me
"september elevent-- OHHHH!!!" - Jarrod

my friends are really smart. what can I say?

well while I was up in Indy, I got a very special treat. I got to see a boy from my past, Eduardo.



that is my Ed. we met last year in the Bahamas. he is Brazilian and a total sweetheart. he picked me up halfway through the concert and took me to his house for dinner and dancing. it was as my Grandmother would say, very romantical. he also played me a song on his guitar. :) calm down friends, nothing will happen with this one. i dont do relationships... especially those that require distance. im FAR too young to be tied down. i have SO much living and loving to do.

I have VERY exciting news my dear friends! I have decided on a major. FINALLY! i'm going to major in Graphic Design with a minor in English. holla at finally deciding what I want to do! about damn time!

in those eight paragraphs, I've really summed up my past 3 months. I know, its all very exciting. well im in college, what do you expect? now that i've remembered that I have a blog (seriously-- who FORGETS they have a blog when it's bookmarked? ME. I'm in idiot). but this idiot will not forget again. I have a 4 day weekend off school and even though im working 3 of those 4, I will post another blog about future plans and some pictures of art work I've been working on this summer.

well friends, i hope you all are doing well. i miss you all. and even if youre a creeper looking at this and i don't know you, hi I'm Morgan and the more the merrier on reading this. ill miss you too. well i shall talk to you again soon.

love love love,
Morgan

by the way, it is FALL! i LOVE this freaking season. definitely my favorite season before it turns into the shit show that is also known as winter.

you seem quite shy but you're oh so cute....

ohhh my goodness friends. its not possible for me to suck anymore. i haven't posted on this blog allll summer and feel horrible. it was a few weeks ago when my sister threatened me within an inch of my life to post on here, so here i am... two weeks later. finally.

where do i begin?

this summer has been awesome so far. definitely the most relaxing summer i've ever had. i don't know if this summer can compete with the fun level of last summer but it's been trying.

the beginning of the summer started in FL with my Grandparents and Momma. Here's some pictures:






my mom and I had an amazing week in Pensacola with my Grandparents. it was relaxing, fun, and a wonderful girls vacation. my mom and I laid out and got tan, swam in the pool, and the ocean, and went to the beach. it was such an amazing week and i didn't want it to end.

after Pensacola, my Momma and I made a detour to SC, to see Shannon and Andy... and their new pup...



Meet my sweet baby nephew, Kentson. Isn't he handsome?! I love this little man. He's such a sweetie and wonderful. Speaking of this little guy, it was his birthday a few weeks ago, so Happy Birthday again sweet baby K. Auntie Mo Mo can't wait to see you again and play throw the tennis ball.

The rest of my summer has been filled with trying to find a job, relaxing, taking care of things for school next semester, hanging out with friends, laying out, getting dark, hanging out with my family and of course Kobe, and watching the World Cup.


there's me and baby kobe, watching the FIFA World Cup. I was addicted. And not just because of alllllllllllll the man candy that filled my screen everyday (who in the hell knew that Uruguay had such handsome men?!?! not me! but i sure as hell know now ;)) but also because I LOVE SOCCER. it's such an amazing sport and i miss playing it so much. i used to be goalie and i'm gonna go ahead and toot my own horn and say that i was awesome... just saying. oh and if youre wondering why i'm holding my shirt, that's my David Beckham jersey, I was wearing it during the USA v. England match and even though I was rooting for America, I was also rooting for my lover, even though he wasn't playing. Kobe used to love to sit and watch the games with me every morning but he learned his lesson... because I'm a yeller. I scream and hoot and holler when we score. Kobe doesn't like noises above a whisper. He's the reason there's the expression "scared-y cat."

instead of filling you in on exactly EVERYTHING that has been going on this summer im just gonna give you a list of fun things/new things going on in my life.

1. i have a new job. i started working at Dick's Sporting Goods about 3 weeks ago and i love it. well maybe not love but like it as much as you can like a job. 98% of the people i work with are awesome and i love having a job where the hours go by QUICK and theres always something to do. I work in the shoe department which is ALWAYS busy. I also work almost everyday so if youre around the area and want to stop in and see me, i would love it. you'll put a big smile on my face.

2. since starting my job, i've realized a few things:
- people are stupid. point blank.
- people do not know how or when to discipline their kids.
- i'm totally spanking my kids when they get out of line.
- my feet don't like not sitting down for 5 hours straight. so when i go home and take my shoes off, i usually limp.
- a LOT of cute boys shop at Dicks. which could either be a good thing or bad thing.

3. i've had about 3 epiphanies this summer.

4. i love money. i just got my first paycheck and i cant wait to spend it!

5. my cat is awesome. i think he understands that im not leaving to go down to UK every week, which makes him really happy. therefore, every single night i come home from somewhere (no matter where he is) he runs to greet me. im such a mom.

6. no matter how much im stressing out, or how much i have on my mind, when i paint it alllllll leaves my mind. right now im finishing painting my desk. i'll post pictures when i'm done (hopefully) next week.

7. i can actually get tan and not just burn! it amazing! right now im actually tan! its awesome! usually i get burnt then it fades into a very light tan. but now im actually dark. this. is. awesome.

8. i loveeeee having real talks with people about important issues. tonight i had an amazing talk with a boy and it was amazing. i dont think i'll forget that talk or what i learned from it for a very long time.

9. boys are stupid. (but as i just learned a few hours ago, there are a few exceptions ;))

10. i'm not going to work a 9-5 job when i get older. sorry. wont do it. i'm determined to work for a non profit or for an organization that strives to make a positive change in the world.

11. occasionally, when no ones home, I make a playlist, and dance around my house.

12. im getting pretty good at texting people at my job (it's against the rules). im such a rebel.

13. my new shoes are freaking awesome and cute.

14. it is INSANELY hot outside.

15. im not looking forward to going to work for 8 hours tomorrow.

16. i'm going to sleep.

17. i promise to have a photo blog later this week.

well my dear friends, i'm going to bed. im very tired. i will blog again veryyyy soon. PINKY PROMISE.

love love love,

Morgan

can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars...

my goodness! i cannot believe it's been sooo long since I have blogged. we have much to discuss my dear friends and family.

1. in less than two weeks, i will officially be done with my freshman year of college. it has been one of the most hectic times of my life but to tell you the truth, i have never grown so much as a person in my entire life. this year has made me grow up, look at life in a different way, and look at who i'm becoming as a person. i've met new people, and looked hard at friendships i've had and thought long and hard about if those friendships were making me a better or worse person. even though this year has been so hard for me, i would do it all again if i knew i would it would make me a better person (which i believe it has).

2. i am transferring. after a lot of praying and talking to family and friends, i have decided to move back home to NKY and attend NKU for a semester or two, until i figure out where I want to go from there. UK is a wonderful place, and I will always have amazing memories of coming down here to visit my sweet sister and her friends, but in the end, this place is not where i belong. i think one of the main reasons i decided to come down here was to be close to my sister and follow the path that she took in her life. but as this year has taught me, i must make my own path and make my own way in life.

3. i have become a YouTube brat. i don't know how it happened but if i have free time in my dorm, i will go to youtube and watch old episodes of TV shows (hello, Nick and Jessica Newlyweds & Laguna Beach & i could go on and on about all of them). it's hysterical. i love me some youtube, what can i say?

4. yep. i bought it the day it came out...



really did you expect anything else? i'm obsessed.

5. in less than two weeks i will be in warm and beautiful FL with my Mom. I'M SOOO EXCITED! i'm going to get so tan then come home and see friends and then start work... i'm not really sure where i'm working yet, but i hope to find out soon.

6. i wish Thursday would get here already so i could hang out with my two favorite boys, Kris & Greg. we hung out last Friday and had a blast, so i'm realllllyyyyy looking forward to seeing them again this weekend. they make me laugh more than ANYONE and are such good, genuine, sweet boys. we're actually planning on going up to Chicago one weekend this summer to celebrate Kris' 21st birthday. if it all works out like were planning it's going to be an AMAZING weekend. :)

7. i don't have a final in my english class butttttt I have a paper due on thursday and then i'll be officially done with that class for good. i have yet to start writing this paper. a rough draft is due tomorrow for peer review, but the girl i always peer review with and i don't write our papers and we just act like were grading each others papers while we chit chat. it's a full proof plan. but don't worry friends, after this blog post ill at least write a page or two so i don't have to do all the work tomorrow and wednesday.

8. i'm wearing sweatpants pretty much all week to school.... it's just one of those weeks. don't judge me.

thats pretty much my list friends. nothing really else is going on in my life. i'll be sure to write another post again very soon.

i hope you all are well, and i will talk to you soon.

love love love,
Morgan

could you be loved and be loved?

in case you dont know, my blog title is an AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING song by Bob Marley called "could you be loved". i have been listening to summer-y music alllll week getting amped up for summer. and to me Bob just screams summer. i have his CD's in my car and I cannot help but put my windows down, arm out the window, hair down, and music up when i hear his music. a good friend of mine shares my love for Bob and has a huge Bob Marley tattoo on his bicep. its a gorgeous tattoo and really well done and one of my favorite tattoos i've ever seen on someone. thats commitment and i love Bob but won't be getting a tattoo any time soon.

life in lexington is going good. just working on homework and about to come down to the home stretch. there are a lot of tests coming up and a some papers due but in a month it will be alllllll done. thank god!

it's definitely been awhile since i've updated and we have some stuff to catch up on. two weeks ago i went to SC to visit my sweet sister and her lovely boyfriend. we had sooo much fun! it was relaxing and we laughed soo much all weekend. while I was there we celebrated Andy's birthday.



thats shakey on his birthday. while they were both at work i decorated the entire apt. with streamers and birthday games. we played je-party (same game as jeopardy just with a much cooler name) and pin the tail on the donkey. it was amazing. it was a great party and a huge success. sorry that was one of the only pictures i took. we suck so bad at taking pictures. we'd much rather just hang out then worry about pictures (which drives my mom up the wall, sorry momma) .

driving to SC was crazy. being in a car by myself for 7 hours by myself was insane. it took me about 9 hours to drive down there though because it rained the ENTIRE way. and not a drizzle, it felt like a hurricane. tons of wind, pouring rain, and really windy country roads. it SUCKED. but seeing Shan and Andy made it soo much better.

the drive back home was sooo much better! it looked like this the whole way home...



BEAUTIFUL!

that was a great great week spent with two of my favorite people in the world.

i'm very excited for this weekend. tomorrow is the annual hang out with my two favorite boys night. i'm SO excited! they make me laugh until my stomach hurts. i cant wait to see them tomorrow. friday is supposed to be veryyy nice back home, so im going to spend the day tanning in my back yard. i'm soooo pale i'm pretty sure a polar bear is more tan than i am. one day this weekend is going to be spending a whole day painting and hanging with my cat. then i'm also hanging out with Jess sometime this weekend. sounds like a great weekend to me!!!!

by the way can we just quit this whole pollen is "extremely high in your area" crap? im really allergic to this stuff and ragweed and right now they're as big as Lady Gaga. my nose is soooo stuffed and my eyes are oh so crazy swollen. lack of sleep/pollen is not making Morgan a happy girl. but oohhh well.

well thats about it. nothing else is going on here but i hope you guys have a great weekend and i'll try and take some pictures this weekend. talk to you guys next week.

love love love,
Morgan

this time baby I'll be bulletproof...

oh my sweet family and friends! it's about time i wrote a little blog. hell week is officially OVER and the fun is about to begin.

this weekend was a blast. my thursday nights are a tradition to hang out with two of my favorite boys...

that's Greg, being held by Kris. that's just them being them.

these crazy boys are the funniest, craziest, best guys. they make me laugh so hard and tell the funniest stories. this week, they both came over to my house and then we tried to figure out where we were going that night. We decided on going to Gameworks, dinner, and then t see Alice in Wonderland. We played around at Gameworks for a few hours then went to dinner then back to Gameworks then to see Alice. The movie wasn't that great. I'd give it a 5 out 10, and that's being generous. it definitely didn't live up to it's hype which was disappointing. then after the movie, we went to late night waffle house until 4:30. it was wonderful. i can always count on having a good time with these crazy boys.

the rest of the weekend was spent hanging out with my family, eating good food, relaxing, shopping for birthday presents, and hanging out with the boys again.

this week is an extremely easy week. i could pretty much sleep through it if i wanted to. no tests, nothing due. just class. ill take that! just getting through it and onto this weekend will be awesome. thursday afternoon, im driving back home to trade cars with my momma and hang out with her for the night. at 12:01 a.m., my mom and i will be going to see...



yep, im going to be that girl and go at midnight. but why do you ask? because i heard the movie is absolutely amazing and two. they're showing the new eclipse trailer before it. thats why. were both very excited.

friday morning, i will be driving down, by myself, to...


im sooooo excited! i will be spending a little over a week down in SC with my sweet sister and her sweet boyfriend. i CANNOT wait. i wish this stupid school week would hurry up. stupid school.

well my friends, other than that, that's about it. nothing really new going on in my life but i am getting a bit tired and would like to get some sleep. i'll talk to you guys soon! goodnight!

love love love,
Morgan

song of the week: "bulletproof" by la roux. its my latest obsession and i will be rocking out to it the whole way down to SC. im excited!

you can't play on broken strings...

these things have been keeping me away from blogging for the past couple of weeks....



the olympics have completely DOMINATED my life for the past 2 and a half weeks. i would check ESPN constantly, skip stupid classes to watch a certain sport, and watch it EVERY chance i got. i freaking love the olympics and im so pissed that it's over. i believe that the olympics should last forever.

a BIG HUGE thing thats also been keeping me away from blogging and yes, sometimes even the olympics is sigh...



homework and studying has taken over my life. my math class is rapidly crushing my soul. when i make a mistake, i will admit it. and let me just say, taking a combo math course was a HUGE mistake. our teacher gives us 40-60 problems a night, tests often, and DOESN'T explain things at all. i had a huge test today, and let me just say it's taken a toll on my body. last night i had a bit of a break down over the test. i was really really worried but then i talked to some other students in the class before the test and they all feel the same way. they're all really worried about the class and all agree that this class is affecting how were doing in all of our other classes. ridiculous. let's just say, I WILL NOT be becoming a mathematician.

i've named this week "death week" because in every class we either have papers due, or huge tests. i have a quiz in biology tomorrow and a paper due in english, a test in anthropology on wednesday and the first part of my math final, thursday i will have another paper due in english and a test in biology and the second part of my final in math. PUNCH ME IN THE FACE!!!!

well other than that, nothing too exciting is going on. in just 11 days, i will be in SC visiting my sweet sister and her dear boyfriend. this is pretty much the only thing keeping me going.

my head is officially pounding and really starting to feel sick. boo college boo. you suck!

well dear friends and family, i'm going to get going so i can study and watch the bachelor. i hope you guys are having a better week than me. have a good week and ill hopefully remember to blog this weekend.

goodnight friends!

love love love,
Morgan

oh love, don't let me go...

hello friends! im so so so sorry i havent given you a blog recently, i suck. i have been super super busy recently and needed a break from blogging so i would have something to write about. so lets get this show on the road...

more like SNOW on the road. we got 9 inches of snow yesterday. this is NOT fun. now anyone who really knows me will tell you how much i love weather. i love it all and welcome it... but i am soooooo sick of snow. i'm really really ready for a break. speaking of breaks, spring break is sooo close i can taste it! it's only weeks away and i am so excited! this spring break i will be going to Greenville, SC to hang out with


Shannon & Andy aka SHANDY

i can't wait to hang out with this wonderful couple! i plan on playing a ton of wii and hanging out with two of my favorite people in the world. sooo excited. less than 3 weeks and ill be there guys! i really really hope that i can see this while im down there...




theres nothing new going on here at school. i've been doing sooo much homework and trying to learn a whole lot of new math that my professor has been piling on. im actually starting to get sick too. walking in this cold and lack of sleep has gotten the best of me. im pretty sure i now have a cold. just my luck right!?

so last week i told you that i got my new beloved Mac and was really excited about it. well as soon as i plugged my ipod into the Mac and my iPod decided to quit working, forever. i can't begin to tell you how angry this makes me. i love love love music and now my iPod just up and quits. GRRRRRR!!! well im going to finally put my money where my mouth is and upgrade...



the beautiful iPod Touch will be alllll mine on friday. im quite excited and pumped up about all of my new gadgets. i feel like a cool kid.

well friends and family im going to get going. i have homework to do. have a good night and ill talk to you all again this weekend. goodnight everyone.

love love love,
Morgan

im sorry if this post was kind of jumpy. im SO tired and feel horrible and my mind is going everywhere! im going to go to sleep now :) goodnight all.

the song in this weeks post title is "Life in Technicolor ii" by coldplay. such a good song.
