and THATS why they came up with the phrase "what happens in vegas, stays in vegas" for a reason

So you know how theres those people who are so painfully on the prowl for "the one"? or maybe not even the EXACT one, but sometimes when dudes (or girls) are so unbelievably desperate for love they are convinced that every halfway decent person they meet is like their soul mate and every step they've taken in their lives has brilliantly lead them to THIS moment where they have met THIS person... If you have never before been prowled by one of these predators then guess what my friends, you probably are one. If thats the case, please do the world a service and re evaluate your life immediately.

These people.... the prowlers.... should NEVER BE ALLOWED IN VEGAS. Because you see, when you're in vegas, the world is a better place and the general assumption is that everyone is there on the same agenda. To have the time of their life for a few days (and by days i mean nights), then go home to spend a day or so in recovery, and then forget about everything they have said, done, spent, worn, sang or drank during those days.

My recent trip to Vegas was very educational for me as far as protecting myself from men looking to find the future mother of their children on Las Vegas Blvd. I shall share 2 of these gems of wisdom with you.
Lesson one: do NOT give specifics of where you work. These people will somehow find a connection to you through your place of employment and put it on the 'its a sign that were meant to be list.' Listen dude.... just because your friend has a membership at 24 hour fitness and your cousins girlfriend works the kids club at 24 hour fitness and the person you bought your goldfish from is a part time trainer at 24 hour fitness does NOT mean that we have something in common since i work 21.5 hours a week at 24 hour fitness. And while i'm on that point, dont call me at work either. I will kick you in the face. Seriously.
Lesson two. and this is a very important one: Even though you might have accidentally given your phone number out to one of these guys, or accepted their friend request that they sent 3.7 seconds after learning your name does NOT mean that you should continue any sort of verbal contact with them post vegas trip. Communication should end immediately once you board your flight. Other wise they will buy plane tickets, book a hotel and come visit you. At which point you must become a master in the art of operation: ditch the douche bags. But i'll save that brilliant lesson for another post...

You know how there are those people out there who believe that everyone should experience heartbreak at least once in their lives? well those people either experienced a REALLY mild form of heartbreak, or have never experienced it at all. i hate those people. if you are one of them, stop saying that because heartbreak is awful.
thats my lesson for the day, be good kids and apply it to your life.
you will probably hear me refer to my recent break up/ past relationship a lot on blog dash, partially because i learned so much from it and partially because i think many many funny stories can come out of that miserable experience with that miserable little man... for the purpose of security and to respect his privacy lets call him....hmm... how about eric.
so there i was, stumbling down the 5 million steps to reach my apartment door, arms full of toilet paper i stole from my parents house and clothes i needed for drill this weekend when i see a package at my door. everyone loves a package right? i mean according to maria from sound of music it should be one of my favorite things! i look at the name and saw who it was from. *a quick backup: eric and i did NOT end well. i would tell you the last thing he said to me, but my grandma might read this sometime and that would be a super awkward thing to try to explain*. so these were the thoughts that ran through my head in succession... the 1st half a second was "oh maybe he wrote me a long letter apologizing and hoping we can end on good terms!" (ha) followed by "no.... thats definitely not what this is going to be" followed by "i wonder if i should dawn my gas mask in case he sent me something that will immediately kill me." but no, no, no. eric, dear, sweet, mature, 33 year old eric had filled the package with every single letter and card i had sent or given to him and every picture we had taken throughout the coarse of the relationship and written with sharpie "i fucking hate you" "lying, cheating, whore" "i hope you fucking die" all over every SINGLE piece of it (by the way, i could and would never cheat on someone... i mean, i still feel bad for killing a fly in my shower on wednesday.)and then tore it up and sent it off.
"who does that?!?!?" you might be asking yourself.  well, blogdashers, crazy people do that.

There are 2 kinds of people in the world. Those who are interested in what we have to say, and those who dont yet know that they are interested in what we have to say. Our names are Amanda and Whitney, and this blog is a small insight into viewing life through our eyes... which we can pretty much guarantee is a better, lighter and far more entertaining way than how you are currently viewing it. Funny and dramatic situations seem to follow us around... and its about time we fill the amanda and whitney shaped void that sits in all of your hearts. We believe we are full of borderline amazing advice, but also occasionally have questions that even WE need help with. Ultimately, all we are trying to do is survive our mid 20's, like so many of you out there are, so we are inviting you to join us for the ride! Anyone and everyone is free to write us no matter how random the thought or stupid the question (by the way whoever said there are no stupid questions is an idiot. because i ask them all the time.) we would love to hear whatever you would life to say!!
We believe very strongly in several things. First, diet 7up and vodka out of the mini bottles can fix most things in life and is better than any 8 dollar drink you can get at a fancy bar . Second, Starbucks treat receipts were one of the greatest improvements in corporate America in the last decade. Third, sushi is the only food you can eat every day without changing your usual and never tire of it. Fourth, the best and smartest ideas usually come to you when you are in Hawaii. And the last and most important of our beliefs is that every situation, every day, every hick-up in life and every accomplishment can somehow be related back to an episode of Friends.

Welcome to Blog Dash!  we apologize ahead of time if we talk about you in our posts... but hopefully we are clever enough to change the appropriate details so you wont even know its you ;)
