Why my boyfriend is amazing and little something to think about.

Tonight has truly been a great night! Just as I was sitting here tumblring and looking like a crusty mess, my boyfriend decided to drop by my house to surprise me!

All I heard was the door bell and I got confused. He hadn't been texting for almost an hour(this isn't really strange since he did tell me he was with a friend so I don't usually expect him to reply back super quick like I do) so I was completely zoned out by the time he got here.

I barely heard any noise when my mom opened the door and then he started coming up the stairs. I jumped out of my bed and caught him right before he reached the top step. I was so excited to see him that I just hugged him forever.

Now. My room is a mess. I have two baskets full of clothes and my bed sheets were in a crumpled mess because I just couldn't care less. Plus there were cups and food remnants on my knight stand. It was not a cute sight!

But he was here for 2 hours. We looked at the two yearbooks I had, freshman year and senior year editions, and watched Get Him to the Greek. It was my first time watching and it was very funny. I swear my boyfriend is something too perfect for words.

Aside from this cuteness I also wanted to blog about something I came across on tumblr. One of the blogs I follow, ammarmali, had a very interesting post today. It was very long and I actually did not have the attention span for it today. When I am too happy, I usually cannot sit and read political, social, or anything important for very long. Here's the link to his post.

But this was about a trial about a Muslim man named Tarek Mehanna who was just sentenced to 17 years in federal prison on the charge of supporting Al Qaeda and conspiring to murder U.S. soldiers. There were three quotes in the post, one by Glenn Greewald (which I believe is the person who Ammar must have read/heard this from), Tarek Mehanna's sentencing statement, and the last from one of Mehanna's lawyers.

I know this probably won't get to many people because my blog is not popular and most of the views that I get go to my first post or the post about the day me and my boyfriend got back together for some reason. However, I still think that spreading this story is spreading this story.

After reading Tarek Mehanna's statement I do understand his position and I have respect for the man. Our government does hide many things from us and sometimes we just let it slide because there is little we can do. But revolutions are striking up all over the world. What is stopping a revolution from starting up in this country?

Our government is supposedly based on the people but it is naive to believe that we get all the information we want and deserve to know. Anything we watch on tv, read in books or magazines, or hear from real people is censored to some extent. Not long ago the internet was in jeopardy of the same fate. Even if the internet has looser restrictions that television and printed media, there are things we can't seem to uncover without getting into real trouble.

I remember when I heard that anybody looking up wikileaks would have their internet activity tracked by the U.S. government. One of my ROTC instructors, a retired U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant, told me that he actually went on the website to see what the big deal was about. When I told him what I had heard he didn't even seem to be that alarmed.

There have been cases of the government tapping into phone lines because someone or something lead them to believe that people had connections with terrorist organizations. And these is not just conspiracy theories. There are videos, blogs, articles, etc. that can be looked up online.

I'm not going to get into much else since it is late and I do not have any resources in front of me to credit anything I've been saying. So I'll just quit while ahead.

Romantic, narcissistic, and pointless posts will continue after this post has been published.

The Fabulous Night

Well, I could hardly hold in my excitement until 5 on Friday because I just wanted to see Steven so badly already! But I had to help in painting my room, a lamp, and doing some stenciling on my mom's new mirror. I even showered super early so I could do my makeup and fix up my hair and pick an outfit. I was actually done by exactly 5pm. I'm a loser.

This was my makeup for the day. I basically only used my naked palette (half baked and dark horse) and a black color from my 88 matte color palette on my eyes and Rimmel's airy fairy lipstick and some VS lip gloss. Looking all sultry and whatnot to go chill at his house and go to Outback steakhouse. That's how I do.

We sat in his room for a bit and talked and cuddled and watched Halloween 2. Then we were both super hungry so we went to Outback steakhouse just to have to wait about a half hour to eat. I've only been to Outback once before and I don't understand why because they have some delicious bread and they're known for some bomb steak and unbelievable ribs.

I'm actually quite upset that I've been missing out. PERO Steven asked me to be his girlfriend so now I'm pretty sure I'll be frequenting the place quite often. OMG.

Honestly, I'm super happy and whatever and told all the people that mattered in my life yesterday and today about it. And then we made it "Facebook official". Now I just want to delete my FB because I have always hated it and aside from laughing at the stuff people put on there I just don't want to have to deal with any drama that might come from having a relationship public on FB.

I just got my FB in August (I actually did have one at the end of freshman year but I quickly forgot the password and who knows if it's still floating around because nobody keeps track of usage like the used to do on MySpace) and now I'm truly regretting it. I HATE the idea that people I don't like are going to know my business. So you know what I do on there all the time? Troll on my best friend's wall.

But it is out there now and I can't just get rid of it like I wanted to do since like a week after I got it. Also, I feel like the older you get the less excited you get about being in a new relationship. I mean, I was super happy when I found out that Steven liked me (and for so long) but like what the hell do I care about letting everyone know that we're together?

I mean, when you were like 14 and had a boyfriend you went around telling everybody. You even rubbed it in the face of that bitch that had a boyfriend every week and couldn't stop complaining about how much she wanted the perfect relationship. Damn, she was a dumb broad. But aside from the excitement and glow you got from telling everyone, what was the point?

Now that everyone knew, they all had something new to talk about, concoct rumors about. People placed bets on how long relationships would last depending on the people involved. They would also guess who would be most pissed off about it. You know there were some heartbroken, spiteful kids waiting to rip apart your happiness by just letting a word or two slip about something that had nothing to do with the couple in the first place.

I won't lie. I have placed bets before. Let's be honest. I'm not going to pretend to be happy that the girl with the commitment issues just got with one of the sweetest boys in school. She'll be doing some things to wreck his mind. And who's going to root for the player guy getting with that intelligent cute girl?

My point is that as you get older you realize that letting your business out into the world only makes things harder on you and your loved ones. I admit, I have FB and twitter but when I'm having fun, enjoying my night I'm nowhere near a computer or my phone. I'm not updating the world on what I'm doing because I'm too busy doing it!

Can we just go back to those times when we would take out a camera and snap pictures while everyone was enjoying themselves and not necessarily posing, going to the drugstore to develop those pictures, and frame the pictures or put them in albums for us and those that we took the pictures with to enjoy?

I swear, all I see are people trying to hard to impress people that aren't even important. Me and Steven took two pictures together and then went back to enjoying each other. Those pictures went up today (or actually yesterday since it's already 3am), not right after we took them!

I can keep going on and on about social networking sites. I use them, sure, but I don't abuse them. My "friends" don't need to know everything about my life. It's just not necessary. Leave some mystery! People that went to school with me believe I am a sweet, smart girl that would never get involved with drugs or alcohol. They believe I am very innocent. And I am not about to prove them wrong.

Reputation is important. One day it will either get you a job or make you lose your job opportunities

I got so off topic! But here's Big Bang so it makes up for it.
