<p>Natalie and I were roommates back in boarding school. She had a nice house and wonderful family while I suffered with my unruly family. I wanted her life so badly and wished to god that I could be exactly like her, but no, I had to be me, Claire, a non-boyfriend having athletically challenged tomboy who could never see why she would want me as her friend. As we came along in school, I began to see less of her. She started to hang out with other rich kids who were sons and daughters of whoever was hot at that time. I came into my own eventually and actually enjoyed being me instead wanting to be what’s her name? Oh yes, Natalie. We say hello from time to time whenever I see her out somewhere flashing all her bling. Sometimes I still wish I was her.</p><p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via web</a> from <a href="http://crashingdown.posterous.com/i-wish-i-was-natalie">crashing down</a> </p> Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386485950474161208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928767918091485049.post-77514274820050126902009-08-04T20:18:00.000-07:002009-08-04T20:24:00.988-07:00Twitter journaling gameSo I have been participating in a journaling game created by @SensualStories on twitter for about 3 months now and I wanted to share my writings with you.

I know that work is work,but I want to at least like the place. I had an interview last week and unfortunately I did not get that job,but I have faith that I will find something. Keep on truckin' as Eddie Kendricks says right!? Anyway, besides that I have found my dvd of "The Secret" which I found miraculously on the day of my interview which was a trip. Then a few days ago I found my Van Hunt cd's!! I took that as a sign that things are turning around. Also, two of my tarot cards came up missing,but I found them. I have faith that things will turn out right for me.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386485950474161208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928767918091485049.post-22777173127546447402009-06-07T01:28:00.000-07:002009-06-07T01:35:00.876-07:00No man no cryA friend of mine asked if I had any prospects as far as guys were concerned and I told her no. To be honest I have not had the desire nor energy to look. I am wanting more human contact with people,but men on a romantic level not so much. I am in these times discovering myself and building up myself positively, being comfortable with who I am and all that jazz. I believe that when I am ready the man or woman up there will guide me where I need to be to find that special someone.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386485950474161208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928767918091485049.post-46516576440717220742009-05-23T18:36:00.000-07:002009-05-23T18:43:28.293-07:00My full potentialAt times I feel like I am not living to my full potential. I look at myself and compare my life to others which is not a great thing to do since everyone has a different path in life. There are many things that I want to accomplish,but sometimes I feel as if they are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">unattainable</span>. Don't get me wrong I am always the one with optimistic thoughts,but as I get older and older it seems like my twenties were not that eventful. I want to start living and not let money be a factor to why I barely go out and be around those my age. I am tired of being <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">hermit</span> like although I do enjoy my alone time. Lack of car is an excuse,but it is part of my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">dilemma</span> here in l.a. Anyway, I just need to figure out a way to get out of my rut.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386485950474161208noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928767918091485049.post-190054063804946572009-05-17T03:11:00.000-07:002009-05-17T03:12:34.926-07:00Under The Bridge - RHCPOne of my fave RHCP songs :) Enjoy!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/E1N_JDqHOZ8&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/E1N_JDqHOZ8&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386485950474161208noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928767918091485049.post-1391921486396978622009-05-15T08:58:00.001-07:002009-05-15T09:01:48.503-07:00Education Connection<span xmlns=""><p>This commercial has me in stitches every time I see it.<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WYS5NtRXlZQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WYS5NtRXlZQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p></span>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386485950474161208noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928767918091485049.post-56344937688148030602009-05-14T13:02:00.001-07:002009-05-14T13:02:00.630-07:00Scandinavian in a past life?<span xmlns=''><p><span style='font-family:Modern No. 20'>I remember when I was in elementary school maybe 3<sup>rd</sup> or 4<sup>th</sup> grade and looking up at the various cutouts that represented world countries.

I had to laugh when I drew this card because on different occasions this card has popped up in readings. Out of all the cards this is my favorite. It shows a woman being financially independent and wise. I want my life to be lived as the lady in this card.

Writing is something that I want to pursue as a career and I better have the passion for it...lol. It's just that for the most part I have felt so drained by certain things and at the turn of this new years my outlook has shifted in great ways and I am embracing it to the fullest. I feel good inside and I pray that this feeling remains with me for the rest of the year and beyond.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386485950474161208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928767918091485049.post-56898898956696195062009-01-13T01:58:00.000-08:002009-01-13T02:06:46.565-08:00Happy New Years and new beginings.........This is a bit after New Years,but all the same it's a new year! This year I want to tackle all the things that I sleeped on the past years. For example jump starting my writing career with just writing more everyday. That is the major focus,but other things like going to the doctors for a check up which I have done yay! Go to the DMV, a job and other things as well. Start believing more in myself and abilities and letting life pass me by. Toward the end of this year another birthday for me will roll around and I want to at least get done with my goals for this year. Determination is much needed from me in order to have the life I truly desire. I will have it by any means necessary.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386485950474161208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928767918091485049.post-74191221345947360522008-12-28T02:29:00.000-08:002008-12-28T02:33:50.260-08:00Christmas/New YearsSo, Christmas was pretty cool.

I have been in a long term complicated relationship and I fear letting it go,but want to forge ahead with my love life. Going out on dates would be ideal,but it's so much work involved. I hate the fact that you have to put on a show to get someone's interest. It's part of the game,but so emotionally hard for me to put myself out there. Conflicting feelings always get me because I want to be in a relationship,but then again I don't want to be bothered. Am I sending mix messages out to the universe? Totally! I keep meeting these non committal types because of my conflicting feelings. What am I afraid of really? I have no clue,but I know that I need to do some soul searching. There are a lot of internal ideas that need reworking. I guess my current "set up" is safe for me at the moment. In this relationship I feel so alone at times because I am alone. I barely here from him and when I do it's like an event! Why am I always the available one? I have to say that I have been good with keeping to myself and not calling,but he's constantly on my mind. How can someone be so detached?<br /><br />I went to this new age store a few weeks ago and picked up this mini card which had affirmations to say for attracting healthy relationships into your life (ie; family,friends,lovers) and I actually tried one of the affirmations and totally felt like a weight had been lifted. I felt lighter. It was great! Most definitely implementing those affirmations into my life. When I feel alone I just find comfort in knowing that I am loved and that there is someone out there for me who can truly give me the love I deserve,but first and foremost I have to love myself more in order to get that kind of love in my life.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386485950474161208noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928767918091485049.post-10256102907508764742008-12-01T14:27:00.000-08:002008-12-01T14:37:33.996-08:00Altered states when drinkingWhy is it that people change when they drink? Being in an altered state seems to make a person true feelings come out. It's truly baffling for me to bare witness to people under altered states. That is why I refrain from drinking although I have tasted wine and what not. I am at the other extreme of fearing that I will have an addiction,but my addiction is fear of drinking and losing control....lol. Just another one of my phobias which I will get into more later....lol. Until then I think I will pass on the altered states.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386485950474161208noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928767918091485049.post-45854647680777319392008-10-15T23:47:00.000-07:002008-10-15T23:54:22.338-07:00Come into my world........I want to welcome whoever visits my site and thank you for stopping by.
