Top Songs of the Last Decade (1999-2009)

A friend of mine was really upset at Rolling Stones picks for the top ten songs of the last decade, so he asked all of his friends (including myself) to come up with a better list, so here are some of the songs I'm considering. I haven't decided on ranks yet and I am definitely not going to be able to include all of these songs, but he wants me to pick ten and out them in order 1-10, so help me out and let me know what you agree and disagree with and if you have any suggestions! thanks

Time to get a haircut again...

Last time I got my hair cut, I was in Cleveland and I went to the Great Clips in Middleburg Heights and they did an amazing job and it was only 12 dollars!  Here is the cut I got: ----->
I was pretty much obsessed with it, but my hair's grown out again and I hate doing the same thing right in a row like that.








Plus my friend just cut my bangs into front bangs, so I don't think my bangs would even be long enough to do this again. but here

(<---to the left) is what my hair looks like now, so I was thinking of at least definitely getting a trim to get rid of my split ends and add some bounce and then, maybe getting my layers re-done and getting short layers like I had in the last picture and then, either just getting better-looking front bangs or trying to do really heavy side bangs in my face.

Again, I found myself trying to find a good picture of Demi Lovato's bangs, because she just has amazing hair in general and I think we have similar hair and traits, so I figure I could probably pull off her look.




































I also found this picture of Allyson from American Idols and I just love everything about her hair and am planning to dye mine a brightish red after I get it cut too, so I'm sure I would lovee having her cutt! I'm just not sure  I have enough hair to create those bangs...

Since I want to dye my hair before I go home for Christmas and I want to get it cut before I dye it, so the color will turn out better, I have been trying to find a good place in Columbus to get my hair cut.. I do not think I trust the Great Clips near me after what they did to my boyfriend's hair, and I've looked at some bad reviews for a few other places, so I'm thinking of going to the salon inside of the Macy's at Easton, but I haven't been able to find any reviews of that place, so if anyone can tell me anything about the quality of their hair cuts and they're prices and offer me any suggestions on a hair cut, I would really appreciate it! Thanks

Some of my favorite Catholic/Christian Pick-Up Lines (There's a lot)

After reading a post on my friend's facebook, I decided to take her advice and google some pick up lines and here are my favorite Catholic pick-up lines haha.. some are funny.. some are just clever.. and others are kinda cute :)

Funny/Clever Ones:
You know Jesus? Me too!!
God told me to come talk to you!
Do you need help carrying your bible? It looks heavy.
Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?
What are your plans for tonight? Feel like a Bible study?
The word says "Give drink to those who are thirsty, and feed the hungry" ... how about dinner?
You want to come over and watch The Ten Commandments tonight?
Would you happen to know a Christian man that I could love with all my heart and wait on hand and foot?
Have you ever tried praying at a drive in movie before?
Excuse me, I believe one of your ribs belongs to me.
My friend told me to come and meet you, he said that you are a really nice person. I think you know him. Jesus, yeah thats his name.
You know they say that you have never really dated, until you have dated a Catholic.
Yeah, I predicted David over Goliath.
Want to practice speaking in tongues with me?
I don't see it, but some people think I look like Sampson
What's your name and number so I can add you to my "prayer" list?
I don't speak in tongues, but i kiss that way!
Hi, my name's Will...God's Will
I'd pick you over Satan any day.
What do you think Paul meant when he said, "Greet one another with a holy kiss."? (1 Cor 16:20b)
You put the "cute" back in persecution!
Did you feel what I felt when we reached into the holy water font at the same time?
I bet I can guess your confirmation name.
What's a nice girl like you doing at a First Saturday Rosary Cenacle like this?
Sorry, but I couldn't help but noticing how cute you look in that ankle-length, shapeless, plaid jumper.
May I offer you a light for that votive candle?
Don't worry, I'm attracted to you purely in a spiritual way.
Read any good Bible passages lately?
Wow that grey/black ash smudge on your forehead, vaguely resembling a cross, really brings out the tones in your skin.
You look like a good vocation
“You’re a saint! Kiss me, and make me a second-class relic!”
“If loving you’s a heresy, consider me anathema!”
"Let me get your number; I know this great place to go to on Sunday mornings. They have the best wine!""Is that a new perfume or the odor of sanctity?"
"So YOU'RE the third secret of Fatima?!"
"In the dark void of this world, could you be my luminous mystery?"
"Dinner. My Place. Tomorrow. Don't argue; it's a feast of obligation."
If I had a bead for every time I thought of you, I'd have a joyful mystery.
You are like the book of Revelation. You've got me all confused.I have a vocation to the married life. Will you help me out?
Haven’t I seen your face on a Holy Card somewhere?
I would like to study the Theology of YOUR body.
Hi, I need someone to do a Novena with. (That’s nine dates guaranteed)
WOW! You remind me of the girl from Proverbs 31.
Why don't we blow this joint and go to adoration?
Pardon me, but you have my rib.
Ah, so your what happened to my missing rib
I always kiss on the lips at the sign of peace.
I hear you’ve got the gift of tongues, want to share?
"feeling cold? you know what ecclesiastes 4:11 says... ;)" (Thank you Grace!)

Dorky/Cute Ones:
Is it a sin that you stole my heart?
If God made anything more pretty, I'm sure he'd keep it for himself.
Honesty is like a kiss on the lips...and baby i never lie (Proverbs 24:26 "He who gives a right answer kisses the lips.")
Has anyone ever told you, your eyes are like doves and your neck like the tower of David (read Song of Solomon)?
God broke the mold when He made your sweet face.
[check the person's shirt tag] "just as i thought... made in heaven."
God was just showing off when He made you.
I would like to pray with you.
No, i'm not coveting, I intend to make you mine.
Before tonight, I never believed in predestination.
When I saw you, I knew the true meaning of "rejoice and be glad."
I didn't know angels flew this low.
If Eve was tempted by an apple than you must be my fruit.
That halo matches perfectly with your eyes.
I must be dead and looking at the angel that is going to take me to heaven.
Want to go to Adoration with me?Man does not live by bread alone. So how about dinner and a movie?
A little bird... the Holy Spirit actually... tells me we should get to know each other a little better.
My prayers are answered.
Thumbing a rosary: “How ‘bout joining me for a few decades?”
"Can I hold your hand during the Our Father?""You must be the eighth wonder of the world because I'm smack dab between seventh heaven and cloud nine right now."
Excuse me, I couldn't help noticing how modest you look in your ankle length dress.
I need a partner for my marriage prep class

See Your True Colors Shining Through

So.. I was at dinner one night with some other girls and they were talking about this quiz they took to find out the color of their personalities.  I told them I took one like that that told me I had a purple aura and they asked me to find it for them.  As I was looking at the quiz, I decided it might be fun to take a bunch of these quizzes and see how many of them match and how accurately I think they are... And I'll post links too if anyone else wants to take a look. 

I had to take a color personality test when I joined Student Senate where I basically had to answer multiple choice questions, add up my total points for each color and it told me I had a "gold" personality meaning I was a traditionalist who likes rules basically.  But I took a very similar color test online just now at truecolorscareer.com and it said I have a primarily blue personality with gold as a close second. 
" BLUE - You are a Helper
Congratulations, you are a primary Blue. Your communication style creates peace and harmony in the workplace.  As a Blue personality you are gifted with tremendous people skills. Your complete color spectrum is shown above.
You have a strong need to make a difference in the lives of other people. This strength is immediately noticeable in the way you make heart felt connections and bring out the best in those you encounter. People usually feel relaxed and comfortable in your presence.
You love to build self-esteem and make others feel good about who they are. You can easily motivate and inspire people to make changes in their lives and reach their potential. This natural talent makes you excel as a counselor, teacher, social worker and journalist"
Very interesting the way personality tests analyze us and how our answers can change even in less than a year.

I just googled "color personality quiz" and got some of these tests as results.

The first quiz that popped up was pretty interesting.  It was Colorquiz.com and it only takes about 5 minutes or less.  It wasn't quite what I was looking for.  Basically, you click on colors in whatever order you like and based on this, the site gives you an analysis of your personality and current mood.  My results were actually surprisingly accurate considering I just clicked the colors I liked the most.  Psychology is a crazy thing, huh?  It was actually pretty interesting and took almost no time though, so I highly recommend checking it out. 

The next test I took was  on http://www.testcolor.com and was very similar to the previous one except that there were many other colors to choose from and multiples of each color, so it takes a little longer, but the results are much more in depth breaking down your personality into various categories and percentages.  The site gives explanations so that you you know what those terms and numbers mean.  I feel that my results were actually pretty accurate on this test as well.  This site also has a mood test based on color selection and a love test!  The love test actually looks really interesting.  It has each partner select colors independently and then, compares the results to let you know how compatible you are!  If I were in a relationship, I would definitely try it just for kicks.
