Ouch, my heart hurts..

by Leslie Star » Love Advice, Tip of the Day

Is it possible to love someone too much?

Of course it is..

I have had it happen to me tons of times before.

I put my heart out there and it gets stomped on before I can pull it away.  It always breaks.. every time.

You think I would learn to protect it a bit better, but nope.

It’s not our fault that love zaps us in the ass and before we know it we are completely memorized by the other person.  You start to think of only that person all the time.

Their life consumes you until you have no live left of your own and you constantly wonder how and when you will get to see them again.

Sure it is important to think about the other frequently and tell them that you do, however to lose yourself is not ok.

Be strong and don’t forget that you love to go out with your friends, love to play sports and eat chicken wings ( unless your a vegetarian ;) ).  Remember that you love to sit at home and read a book, watch your fav TV show and bury your head in the basement with your video games until the sun comes up..

It’s easy to love someone but don’t love them so much that you engulf yourself in them because that pushes your partner away.

They want to know that you have your own life and you are secure in who you are.

I have been in bad relationships before and always wondered if they would ever change.  Truth is, they won’t.  You can love them too much and stay because you want it for what it could be and not what it is.

Join a class or something to occupy your time if every two seconds you “need” to call them.

Let them call you because your worth it.

Let them find out what it’s like to love someone too much.

Have you ever loved someone too much?

Top 10 Things To Do When It Rains

by Leslie Star » Advice, Tip of the Day

 

I live in Vancouver where it literally rains 90% of the time.  It’s hard to find things to do when it’s raining because Vancouver doesn’t really have a very good night life and they aren’t necessarily prepared for the rain as much as you may think.  If you are like me then you may get a little depressed when it is so dark and dreary outside for days and days. 

Here is my Top Ten Things to Do when it Rains.

  1. Go see a movie with friends or rent one and make some popcorn as it will be a whole lot cheaper and you can talk during the movie.
  2. Go to the mall and spend some cash.  Nothing passes the time for me better than shopping :)   Try not to spend too much money on things you don’t really need like I do.
  3. Go to your nearest bookstore and pick up a book that you have been wanting to read.  Go home.. light a candle and relax with a warm throw blanket, your robe and the fireplace on.  If you don’t have a fireplace then buy that video that looks a fireplace on your tv.
  4. Watch TV… I know you probably do this all the time and you want some different ideas but I had to throw this one in there.. Try watching a different station than you normally watch.
  5. Play an indoor sport with some friends like racquetball or table tennis.  Throw a few beers in the mix and you have hours to act goofy and have some fun.
  6. Play a board game or work on a puzzle.  Nothing says fun like a bit of Scrabble ;)
  7. Add yourself to some new sites.  If you’ve never gone on Ebay and seen what it was about.. Sign yourself up and do a little browsing.  You can also go on Facebook, Twitter, UStream, Youtube, MySpace or millions of others.  Try adding random people and maybe you might meet your new best friend..
  8. Just because it’s raining doesn’t mean you have to stay inside.. Put on some waterproof gear and bring your camera to take pictures of the creepy crawlies you don’t see when it’s sunny outside.. Bring a friend along and compare pics.
  9. Go on a hike if you like that sort of thing.  I personally don’t… well it’s not that I don’t its just that I’m lazy.. :)   Pack a lunch and a friend and make sure to dress warm.  This way you don’t get too hot and there won’t be many people on the trail.
  10. Have a tent party!  Ask your friends to bring over their tents, sleeping bags, tarps, food and b.y.o.b and pitch your tents in your back yard if you have one.  If you don’t then just make some blanket tents and lots of pillows.. You could play some bored games, video games, paint each other toe nails, play drinking games, watch scary movies or just talk about old times..

If you have any more suggestions on what you can do in the rain… Please email me or leave a comment below..

Things To Do When Your Bored

by Leslie Star » Advice, Tip of the Day

Are you bored?

I find that I get bored really easily with everything.. So I am always looking up things to do when your bored on Google so I decided to make my own top 20 list..

1.  Go Shopping.  It really depends if you have a lot of cash flow or not let’s say you do… Shopping can take up the whole day if you go with your friends and eat at the food court and everything.

2.  Go to a part of the city that you have never been before and google it before you go and see what there is to do there.  You could always just pack a light lunch and get in your car and drive somewhere you’ve never been before and don’t prepare at all.  It’s always exciting with the possibility of you getting lost.. You have GPS though right? 

3.  Get a new hobby.  Check out your local community centers or places around your house that offer free or really cheap hobby events.  Perhaps there will be something very interesting that you never thought of before.  Who knows.. You may be awesome at it.

4.  Play solitare or some sort of card game.  It takes up a lot of time and it’s fun to play and it wastes a fair bit of time

5.  Read a novel or a “How To Do It” book that you recently found interesting.  Spend a couple hours in your nearest Chapters with a Starbucks and get cozy on one of their chairs and look up stuff that you have been meaning to for a while.  You always want to learn new things.. right?

6.  Go to a movie with your friends/family member.  There is usually a movie out that you want to see.  It is expensive to go to a movie these days if you want to get popcorn and everything but grab a bite before you head in.

7.  Go to a concert or play with your friends or alone if you really want to get into it.  Plays are usually inexpensive and that will kill a couple of hours.  Plus you get to dress up.

8.  Pack a picnic depending on how cold it is and set out to a park you’ve never been before.  Don’t forget a sheet so you don’t get grass stains.

9.  Write a letter or phone a relative that you haven’t talked to in a while.  They usually talk about anything and everything and talk your ear off.   Wait… you want fun things to do.. that’s right :)

10.  Listen to your favorite CD, watch your favorite movie or TV.   TV can be a great babysitter, even for adults.. :p

11.  Exercise!  If you have a pet that likes to go for a walk, pack your mp3 player and some doggie poop bags and your set for a while.  Go to the community gym or go swimming.

12.  Catch up on some chores.. ???  Come on I’m trying to think of things..

13.  Organize your paper work.  I know that I am not the only one in the world that piles it up in that dreaded drawer.. do do do..

14.  Start pulling out clothes from your closet that either don’t fit you or are ugly and you don’t know why you bought them in the first place.  Give them to charity.

15.  Make a Youtube video with a web cam.   Web cams are generally not expensive so stop off at an office store and pick one up.  Make a video of you being bored.. :)

16.  Make some crafts.  You must have some arts and crafts at home.  If you don’t then go to your nearest dollar store and pick some up.  You can even make crafts with your friends.  If you add some alcohol in the mix then you are going to have a great and messy time.

17.  Do something nice for your significant other.  Plan something great for them that requires a lot of thought.  Not only will it cure your boredom but it will make you some brownie points.

18.  Get your friends together for a party.  Last minute parties are usally the best.  Buy some appetizers and lots of booze.  Make up some fun games to play and listen to great music.  Put on a great movie in the background too on mute for something to watch when you start to slur ;)

19.  Go on Facebook for a while.  I betcha I could waste all day playing those games and uploading pics.

20.  Surf the net.  Nothing in my life takes up more time then that.  I can’t pull myself away from the computer sometimes.

I hope my ideas helped your boredom and if you have any more suggestions please leave a comment or email Me.
