Taylor Swift

While driving home from work tonight, Taylor Swift came on the radio, and I must have been zoning out because it took me until half the song was over to realize what I was listening to... AND I realized I can not stand Taylor Swift. Now do not get me wrong, I will admit that she can write original songs and can sing sometimes, but I still don't like her!

I do realize that all of my research and opinions are based off of things I have read either from US Weekly or Perezhilton.com, and yes I do consider them academic sources. In fact if I was in still in grad school and doing a paper on my complete dislike for Taylor Swift I would cite those two sources!

So....here are my reasons for why I can not stand Taylor Swift:

1. She is to perfect! OR should I say she acts like she is to perfect! I don't believe this act for a second! No one is that perfect! I bet she is secretly getting drunk every night and doing mass amount of cocaine off her glitter guitar! AND you know what....I think a good cocaine scandal would be good for her! I would actually have more respect for her because of it.

2. WTF is up with this Number 13? literally in everything she does she has a number 13 incorporated with it. It's like every time she see's a number 13 she thinks it some sign from the universe that just reinforces how amazing she is...UMM NO! I am actually going to start playing that game...."Oh look, Banana Republic! It's like the universe is telling me I NEED to get another pair of trouser jeans and that cute trench coat in the window....I will go buy them" See it doesn't work...because the universe does not send me magic checks to pay my banana republic card with...AND the universe does not magically make your number 13 appear so you will think you are a musical god, Taylor!

3. OK WE GET IT....you look good in the color red. Literally every award show she goes to or every event she attends she wears a RED dress, RED shoes and RED lipstick. Maybe she could wear clothes in green, or blue, or green or even black! Branch out! I am tired of reading my InStyle Magazine and seeing Taylor Swift in the red!

4. The whole John Mayer situation...Ok here is the deal, when John Mayer invites you up to your hotel room it's never going to include just "hanging out". He is John Mayer, come on! SO when John Mayer took Taylor Swift up to his hotel room, what did she think was going to happen? They would change into their matching Hello Kitty footed pajamas and write songs about puppies, unicorns and sunshine rainbows?

AND then what I love even more is how she is so shocked he not only slept with her, but also kicked her out the next morning before the B could order room service waffles; that she writes a song about how hurt she was he did that! Again...this is John Mayer.!.!.!.!

5. Get over the Kanye West situation...and that includes writing songs about it and signing such songs at an MTV awards show, IN A RED DRESS!

......AND that my friends is why I am not or ever will be a Taylor Swift fan!

Weddings!

2011 will forever be considered the year of the wedding for Melissa.....For I am in 3 of them.. yes 3 weddings in 2011!

Now originally in 2010 I was only planning on being in 1 wedding...One of my best friend Juliann's (and Neal)..... Neal and Juliann had been dating for a good 3-4 years when they got engaged. Neal had told me about 2 weeks before he actually proposed which not only threw me in to total wedding mode, it also made me realize that I was keeping this huge secret and therefor had to avoid Juliann for 2 weeks...which I did a pretty good job of! I only allowed my self to speak to her over the phone, and plus she was going to Chicago for work for a few days so that totally helped.

Although I am sure Neal had other intentions in mind when we told me about proposing...I figured he was just giving me time so I along with our friend Marla could put together this little engagement celebration , which included celebration cupcakes and a big Tiffany's box on the table! ...Flash froward to now...they are getting married October 14Th 2011! Date is Saved!

Then came last May when my sister Megan basically tells my mom and I that her "friend" Matt is really not her friend anymore and they are getting married! Shocked? Yes! However if you know anything about Megan, you know that is her style! Oh BTW....she also tells us she is moving to New York in 4 months and we pretty much need to get everything set in stone before she leaves! Flash forward to now...They are getting married March 18Th 2011..Less then 30 days away!

AND then there was Jessica....Jessica and I met our freshmen year at BGSU when we both pledged the same sorority...and I was thinking about this just the other day, but we have been best friends for close to 10 years! CRAZY! Anyway, Jessica and Ryan had been dating for 3 years when he came home from work on December 30Th and proposed! Of course she freaked out and totally said yes! From that day on, Jessica has been in full blown wedding planning mode, and has literally been dreaming about this since I have known her! Her wedding is November 5th 2011!

So bring on the dress fittings, the bridesmaids dresses, cake testings, wedding showers, bachelorette parties, and rehearsal dinners! I AM READY! And so is my credit card!
