Ideal Date Through A Crossword Puzzle

"I want him tall, funny, handsome and smart. Need I say more?"

Sometimes a description of a perfect match doesn't need to be too specific at all to catch someone's interest. Millions of people around the world are constantly being matched up to what they think will be their perfect match. Most of the time, the ideal person is beautiful on paper or even in person, but not inside. Which in my csse, I believe finding the perfect guy falls directly into finding the perfect date. I have dated many that fit my "type" however after one date, I realized that in fact, he wasn't my type at all or he wasn't funny like my friend had explained.

My perfect date doesn't have to cost very much, in fact, I noticed the more showy the date or over the top the worse it is. I like someone who is nice, considerate, but most importantly, funny. He has to make me laugh, case closed. A perfect conversation could last for hours, and that is more memorable than a day filled with too much "stuff".

Accepting a date is telling the other person,

"Yes, I would like to use some of my free time on you because well, I like you." In the reality of this situation, the activities of the date itself don't matter as much as the interaction between these two people. However, engaging in activities that are liked by both people make conversation and attraction easier.

I love to drink coffee in foggy weather of a beautiful Saturday morning. I like to do crosswords, eat exotic foods and look at the dolphins in the ocean. It is very fantastical in a way, yes, but not an impossible way to spend a date.

I want an all day ideal date. This is of course; I can last all day, which means I have to like him. He would pick me up in the early morning to take me to breakfast by the beach. Any later than eight o'clock a.m., and the dolphins become selfish and disappear into the ripples of the ocean. The sun would have no chance of facing us with its full potential. This is to keep me at precisely the perfect temperature all day. If I am not able to wear my ideal fall outfit throughout the date, well then, this wouldn't be an ideal date. Here we would talk about what makes us tick, what gets us up in the morning, and what our dreams are. These are important; I can get quite philosophical at times so I need someone to keep up.

From here we can do other things of his interest only because a great relationship takes compromise. Sometime during the day though, I expect coffee and a nice crossword puzzle. I can get lost in those puzzles, and in using our brains and humor together, we would have made a connection right there.

Even though there isn't a price to be put on the attraction or connection in two people (though sometimes I wish it were that easy), to put the date under twenty-five dollars could be tricky. Breakfast would cost the most, but a shared crossword puzzle, two cups of coffee and an adventure through the park, well that's just priceless.

Aliens Attack

Where Are You My Pisces?


Scorpio Woman & Pisces Man

This is tied with Cancer as the number-one best soulmate match for you. A relationship between a Scorpio girl and a Pisces boy will be intense, intimate and magical. You are drawn to each other naturally, and your intense emotional needs perfectly complement each other. You feel very deeply about things, and he understands that because he does too. He is a real dreamer, a unique person with an enchanting way of looking at the world, and this will inspire and excite you. He will be true and loyal and passionate about you in a way that makes you feel happy and "at home." You share a special closeness that is truly rare. A perfect soulmate match.

Pisces boy thinks Scorpio girl is nothing short of awe-inspiring. He's fascinated by your ways in a moth-to-the-flame manner, and can't get enough of your drama and mystery. A match made in heaven if you can deal with his occasional lack of follow through.

I try not to put my full attention to astrology when it comes to relationships. But sometimes it is just so much easier than to try to figure out relationships for yourself. I need guidance and assurance so exactly where am I suppose to look? I don't see anything wrong with turning on a little light, if it helps you see better.


As a Cancer for my brother, and a Taurus for my best friend, where is my Pisces?

Imagination So Great, It's Hard To Remember Anything Else


There we were, standing still in my front yard staring confused and frightened at the face of the huge mountain that stood next to my house. It was neither hot nor cold, the sky was hazy and grey and the sticky air had no movement at all. I stood there with my hand holding on tight with my brother’s and I could feel both of our hearts beating faster. Slowly but surely a swarm of giant spiders started towards us from the top of the mountain. They crawled down faster and faster and their size increased by the second. Not knowing exactly what we should do, we stood there in disbelief that in only a matter of seconds we would be attacked by these humungous creatures.

“Come on! What are we waiting for lets run!” my brother said. He started for the door and with my hand in his; I was pulled in the same direction. Breathing heavily we raced towards the two solid glass doors that led into an old army base I called home.

“Andrew! Andrew! They’re coming closer, hurry and open the door!” I said. We were running out of time and the spiders that were after us didn’t slow down. We locked the door behind us and ran in opposite directions in hope to find some duck tape.

“Here, give it,” my brother said and grabbed the tape out of my hands and started to tape up the door. Hairy legs started to shake the door and poke through the tape. The room became darker as more and more spiders covered our windows in hope to get in.

“I’m scared Andrew” I said as I peered up into his eyes. We sat down in the opposite corner of the room and squished ourselves against the wall. He grabbed both of my hands and said,

“It is okay, me too.” The door began to give, and as I looked into the eyes of the spiders I started to scream and then I woke up.

“Andrew! Andrew! Wake up! I am scared!” I said. I was half awake and without being able to see straight I shook my brother until he woke up.

“Stop! Why are you scared? Don’t do that I had a bad dream.” He said.

“You had a bad dream?! I dreamt we were outside and…” I said. Quickly like always we finished each other’s sentences and realized we had the same dream.

My brother is the most amazing influence on me I have ever recognized in my entire life. He has been my brother, my best friend and my twin all my life. In fact he actually isn’t my real brother, he is my cousin. We both practically lived in the same house up until a couple years ago and we can count the number of fights we have had on one hand.

Because I always wanted to be just like him, and him being three years older than me, I have seen myself mature faster then others my age. Being the youngest in my class, this helped a lot with my social and work life.

From playing wizards and aliens when we were younger to having deep philosophical conversations over coffee, my brother has shaped me into a person I am proud of. He has expanded my mind and because he never judges me, I am never afraid to think and let my mind wonder into beautiful or wretched places.

I was 5 years old when I had that dream and my brother was 8. I don’t know if whether or not we really did have the same dream or if it was because our minds were so full of imagination that we figured it was possible to have the same dream. Either way, it was because of that I realized that we were twins and I didn’t have to explore this big scary world alone.

Send Message To: Her Ultimate Dream State. Message Priority: Urgent.


There he was. Exactly where I would find him, outside of my house delicately sitting on a wooden chair with one hand on the table stroking a glass he found intriguing. Tears filled his eyes as he peered up at me waiting for me to do something. I walked around next to him and sat down as close as I could but without touching him. My arms supported myself so I could lean in as far as I could. But somehow I still felt extremely far away.

"I don't understand why it isn't me," he said. He was confiding in me and all he wanted was for me to listen. We didn't have this relationship nor did I think we ever would yet somehow I felt more than comfortable hearing what he had to say.

"She doesn't need me Veronica, she doesn't even want me." His eyes filled up with tears but he tried so hard to fight them back.

"I am better than him, I can do everything better, we were fine then I don't know where I slipped up. Maybe it was something I said? Something I did? I did everything for her. She doesn't want me, and I can't seem to find any reason at all for it."

He looked up at me and sighed and his eyes were begging me to do something. He continued,

"We are done and over, and I have never been so confussed. I am better than him, I am better than all of him. Why doesn't she want me?"

I got up from my seat and kneeled next to him, but I couldn't touch him no matter how hard I tried.

"If I had you all to myself, you wouldn't need to cry for I would never choose anyone else but you, and you would never have to worry," I said. By now he had left, and I will never know if my message went through the same way his went through to me.

He needed me, but did not want me, he felt comfort and relief in my presence but he did not love me. What drove him to tell me that? Why me?

Vee iPhone


soo... "Vee iPhone"
this is what pops into my itunes everytime i plug in my iPhone.
today...nothing...my phone shut off, yelled at me and told me it was locked and to go kick myself
i hate it i hate it i hate it....back to the at&t store...
They put in another sim card and then it still didn't work
I drove all the way to the Apple Store and all they told me was that I needed to restart and restore it
Basically..."Wipe your phone clean and start from scratch" which in my mind meant, "ALL OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL TEXT MESSAGES NOW DELETED!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!"
Grunting I walked in my house, plugged in the phone and then restored it.
...
...
minutes later...
...
...
minutes more..
..
..
.
BOOM!...Everything was not only restored and restarted but nothing was deleted because my computer had it backed up.
Guess what else wasn't deleted, MY TEXT MESSAGES!
I have the biggest love hate relationship with that phone, it's sad.
For the past two hours now I have been playing all my new apps, especially the word games, and I couldn't be happier.
Thats of course until it screams at me again,
but honestly,
I can't live with it...and I would never dare live without it.<3

Half Black Iced Tea Half Apple Juice



All through class I dream of a Venti half black iced tea half apple juice...no water...easy ice.
My throat gets dry, and as I take that first sip of greatness, it is gone before you know it
Such a shame, I never realized how much I enjoyed that Venti Iced Drink until its gone...
If I knew then what I know now, would I have drank it slower? faster? not at all?
Would I stare at it for minutes watching the ice melt, just thinking about how sad ill be when its over
I never regret buying it but at the same time...twenty minutes later with two bucks less in my pocket and a thirsty mouth
I can't help but think....why did I do that?


He came and went so fast...
No rhyme or reason, satisfying yet dissapointing
Makes me wonder
Why I even bothered to walk into that coffee shop at all.
