Glambitions: March 24th, 2008

Yes darlings, it's that time of the week: Glambitions! I have been waiting to do these all week because I felt like it's time to set new goals and try my hardest to follow. Well, let's just say I didn't follow my glambitions for last week so well. But it's a whole new week right? Let's go ahead and get to it!

Glambitions: March 24th, 2008 to March 31st, 2008

• Turn in everything I am supposed to turn in. Procrastination is simply a habit that I cannot break. I procrastinate profusely. This week I need to concentrate on making deadlines and not doing my work the day that it's due!
• Sit down and read a good book. In spite of how busy I am, there is always time to read. Everyone gets down time and in my down time, I need ti read. Reading is my escape. It's my outlet to explore the thoughts, feelings, and musings of other writers. I love to connect to other people's take on things. To read what others think of important issues.
• Try something new. Despite my adventurous take on some topics, I am pretty predictable. A lot of people can tell what I'm thinking (or at least I feel like they do) or they know that I'm going to wear a dress with some flats and a headband tomorrow. Why do they know this? Because I am horribly predictable. I want to try something new. I am not sure exactly what it is but it will be something.
• Balance out my friendships. Lately, I feel like I have been neglecting some of the friendships I have. If you can recall my post of my best friends, I have been spending so much time with Bronte that I have neglected Bryanna and Jasmine. I am not saying that I need to neglect Bronte and hang out with those two but I need to make them feel like they mean something to me and they do.

That's all for this week. What are some of your goals for this week, this month, or even this year?

Hello lovelies! I am soooo sorry that I have been absent and I know I have not lived up to my blogging expectations. I have just been a bit busy with school, family, life . . .but I know that I can still blog again. I just hope that I can still obtain the few readers that I already had.

I decided that I wanted to share with you lovely readers things about my style that will let you get to know me better.

1. Headbands are my choice every day. There is never a day where I go without wearing a headband. They make my outfit polished and they complete it. It doesn't even matter if I decide to wear jeans and sneakers (not every often), I will still grab a headband. Even if it is not a traditional headband, it will be a scarf simply tied around my head.
2. I wear a dress and tights 3/5 days of the week. I am in love with my current collection of dresses. Although almost all of them are black, I never get tired of wearing them. My current favorite is my black dress with the huge bow on it. I like to wear it with my bright pink tights, white blouse, and black ballet flats.
3. Flats = love. I adore flats. I have sooo many pairs of flats that I can't even count. I love them. They are comfortable yet so cute. While I am experimenting with heels now, I will never stop wearing flats.

I guess that's it. I will try to do outfit posts but I always forget to take pictures of my outfits. Tell me about your style.

Glambitions: March 17th, 2007.

Happy St Patrick's Day! I am wearing my green today and I hope you are wearing yours(don't get pinched!).

It's that time of the week: GLAMBITIONS. How did I do on last week's glambitions?

• I stayed out of the drama for the most part. Actually to tell you the truth, there wasn't much drama to get involved in.
• My homework has been the real problem for me so I really need to get that together if you know what I'm saying. I'm usually a good student but I get so distracted sometimes that I end up trying to finish homework right before I need to go to bed.
• I finished all books I started; it really does feel good. I'm planning on doing a book post soon but I finished all the books.
• I have fallen short on blogging and I truly apologize. Plus, the weather has been horrible here in Georgia but I will try my best to keep the posts flowing.

Glambitions: March 17th, 2008- March 24,2008

• Commit yourself to your spiritual beliefs. The church I attend has began a fast to show how commited you are to God. I have already broken the fast and I feel terrible. But I have decided that I will fast not on food but on behavior. I will not curse, gossip, or complain for the next 20 days. I want to commit myself to my religion and show my faith.
• Drink more water. No explanation needed here folks! The problem is, I don't drink enough water. I love soda; it's my drug. I must drink water or I'll burn out.
• Stretch my legs and get better as a dancer. I am a good dancer wanting to be great. I love to dance so much. But I'm not flexible whatsoever and I have a problem with laziness. I need to commit to being a better dancer or I will never achieve this goal.
• Shut up. Really. This week, I challenge myself to sit back and just listen. To listen to what people have to say. Because I talk so much, I miss what people are saying because my own motor mouth runs. I hate that a lot.

I don't want to just follow these goals for this week, this needs to become habitual. I always set weekly goals but I feel like I need to share them with other people. Share your weekly, monthly, or even yearly goals with me! I love hearing about you and what you do. Don't think of me as just a blogger, consider me a friend.

Best friends are hard to find.

It's Thursday! How is everyone? I don't know but I'm feeling extra extra great today! But mostly I am doing well on my glambitions but we'll get to that on Monday. I can't wait either!

Anyway, I have been trying to balance my friendships. After reconciling with an on-and-off friend, I have been trying to keep my friendships balanced. I believe in making my friends know that I love them and I trust them. I love those relationships when you can share your secrets to your friends and trust them not to tell. Friends that catch you when they know you are going to fall.

I have decided to dedicate this post to my best friends. My best friends are the greatest. They are there for a good laugh, a good cry, and they always tell you that those jeans would have flattered your figure more if you didn't decide to get the light wash when they told you to get them in acid.

• Bronte: The greatest best friend a girl could have. Seriously. I met her in 6th grade and we didn't really take off on her friendship until 7th grade. Even though I can say that we've only been best friends for one year, she is still the person who knows me the most. She is always there for me. When I was having trouble in school, she agreed to tutor me. When my parents wouldn't stop arguing, she was the one who listened to me cry. When I text-messaged her in the wee hours of the morning, she text-messaged me right back. She has the busiest schedule in the entire world but she always makes time for me. And hell yeah, that makes me feel very special.
• Jasmine: The most real person you'll ever meet. She is who she is and she makes no apologies for it. She will always let you know what's up and she will never lie. I love her so much. I also met her when we were in 6th grade. But we really didn't become best friends until just this year. She makes me laugh so hard. We have the best inside jokes and we have the best talks about the past, the present, and the future. I know I could talk to her about anything and be comfortable in knowing that she will listen. I am a hard person to understand and yet, she has figured me out so easily. We can fight one minute and five seconds later, we'll be talking like nothing happened. She makes me feel loved and important to her and she's important to me too.
• Bryanna: The craziest girl you'll ever meet. She loves to laugh. She loves to make me laugh. I love her laugh. She has the best laugh. I met her in sixth grade(see a trend?) and we hit it off instantly. It wasn't long before I started calling her my best friend. But then problems came for us and we both found it hard to be around each other. We would fight then make up, fight then make up, fight then make keup, and I got tired of it. We have reconciled for good and I am glad. I love her so much. She gets me. She makes me feel good. She is a wonderful person and devoted spiritually, as are all of my friends. I am lucky to have her as a friend.

So what are your best friends like? Are they as cool as mine? Probably. I'd love to hear!

Obsessed: Raybans & Asians blogs.

I am completely obsessed with ray-bans. I am currently on the go for some ray bans. I have dreamt up so many outfits with these beautiful glasses. They are my new obsession. I will have some by the time summer comes. But will you fashionistas help me out to find some nice and cheap? That would be so great.

My next obsession is with Asian blogs. Noel, Susie, Wendy, and many of the blogs I enjoy are written by Asians. They have amazing style and poise and they can write very well. I get a lot of inspiration from the clothing they wear and even the topics they showcase on their blogs.

That is my post for today. I just had to share my obsessions. I'm not weird, I promise. Okay maybe I am . . .

Your Poised Muse,
Jordan.

EDIT: If any Asians are reading this and feel offended then I apologize.

Introducing: Glambitions.

I am simply amazed at how I can get through two days without blogging. The lack of inspiration spread resulting in a case of dried-up creativity. It's not that I'm not inspired by other blogs or my own experiences, I just want to make my blog better and more mature. I'm not trying to make the big times with this blog, but there is just something deeper that I want my readers to obtain from my blog rather than just hearing about Chanel and Dior or me reporting the same trends that Elle or Style did. I want you to gain personal information about my intimate life and also be inspired to live your own life.

I expect so much out of myself that I have no idea how I could possibly live up to all my goals and standards. I have much belief that I could obtain the dreams I have dreamt and achieve a level of greatness that I worked so hard for because I work hard. I don't let Mommy, Daddy, or Grandma do all of the work for me. I need to take my own responsiblity for Jordan and remember to stay pretty while doing it.

Like the nerd that I am and will always be, I have come up with Glambition. Glambition will be posted on the Monday of each week. It will consist of five goals that I set for myself that week. I will try to accomplish these goals and I will let you know how last week "glambitions" worked out in this week's glambitions. I hope I'm making sense. If I'm not, please leave me a comment letting me know.

Glambitions: March 10, 2008 to March 17, 2008

• Do not get involved in drama. I have been caught up in a lot of drama last week and I really didn't want to be involved. I hate drama. The word makes me sick. So this week, I pledge to keep my little self out of all of the drama. Even if I am targeted, I will simply walk away.
• Do all of your homework the night it is assigned. My school is on block scheduling. Meaning, I have eight classes. They are all numbered and whatever class is by an odd number, I have those classes on certain days and vice versa for even numbers. Then the next week it flips. I'll have even classes Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and odd classes Tuesdays and Thurdays. Then next week I'll have odd classes Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and even classes Tuesdays and Thursdays. It sounds confusing but it isn't. Relating to homework, this scheduling gives me the opportunity to complete my homework the night after it is assigned and I often get swamped with homework. By finishing homework that is assigned on an odd day, then the chances are I can finish my even homework the next night. Whew, that was long!
• Finish the books you start. I have a problem with picking up books, reading some of it, then putting them down. Then two weeks later when I have to return them to the library, I'll be upset that I didn't finish. Do you realize how much happier I would be if I just finished the book? A lot.
• Continue to blog frequently. I love to write. If I didn't have writing in my life, I would have nothing to do. Nothing to look forward to. I love to blog. Blogging is a way to connect to a world of people that you didn't know or think existed. It's a way to bring people together. And I enjoy that experience.

I want you darlings to enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing it. I don't solely depend on comments to get me through the day, but I always want to know that there is at least one person out there who gives a damn what I think.
