Dine in the Dark
Dinner Dates are so cliche - unless you're dining in the complete darkness!
I recently went on a date to a restaurant called "O.Noir" (located on Church street).
SUCH a cool experience!!
The restaurant is completely dark, and all the servers are blind!
You have to turn off your cell phone and anything that glows before entering the dining room, ensuring that it is 100% black the entire time. If you think your eyes are going to adjust - they aren't.
Of course, since there is no light allowed, you have to order your food before hand. There are several delicious options, with one of the choices being a "surprise" dish. I ordered the surprise app. and main, and to this day I'm not exactly sure what I ate!!! It was yummy though :)
When you loose one of your sense (this time, being sight), it hightens the rest of them, so you taste, smell, hear and touch differently than you normally would. Such a cool date idea, I very much recommend!
P.S I may or may have been topless the entire time... no one will ever know!! ;)

Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Trailer
O M G
I literally cannot breathe!! There are goosebumps all over my body!!
I cannot wait until November 18th to go see the final movie in the Twilight Saga.
Just to clarify, I used to think people who watched Twilight were totally lame and boring... until I saw the first one. It started off slow, but the romance way too deep to keep me away, and I feel in love.
The second ones ending made me SO excited for this movie, and now that the trailer has been released I'm on edge!!
Who wants to go see it with me??!?!?!?!
(Only Twi-Hard fans only.. just kidding).
Check out the trailer below:

Chris's Car Collection
Chris Evans is an English broadcaster and business man, who is perhaps more famous for his car collection than anything else. He's described by car feens as the UK's biggest car nut.
With over 20 cars in his collection, he names a few of his favourites:
- Ferarri 550 Maranello
- Bentley Brookland
- 1963 Ferrari 250
The coolest thing about his collection? The majority of his cars have been white! I need to meet this man....
Universal Truths Men Should (But Don't Always) Understand
I found an old Cosmo today, and seeing as girls follow it like a Bible, here are 5 tips female readers want you to know:
1. Saying "I love you" before, during or immediately after sex doesn't count
2. Your shoes determine how fashionable you are
3. Never answer "fine" when I ask you how I look
4. Discussions of ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends should be avoided at all times
5. Yes we have an anniversary, and yes you do need to remember what it is.
Nude Skydiving
Whether it's your fear of heights or your fear of public nudity, this is bound to shake you up.
And I think it would be one of the times I'm extremely grateful for my small boobs...

Heroin Diaries
Nikki Sixx
The all-American Rock star, best known for his addictions and wild behavior. And the fact that he was the co-founder and bassist of Motley Crue.
Unlike the other band members, Nikki had a serious addiction to just about everything, including Heroin, the drug he describes as his one, true love.
So what does a rockstar with millions of dollars, platinum records, and a drug addiction do? Write diaries of course. Nikki used to record his life on heroin and other drugs, describing the highs and lows, the desire, the parinoia, and his struggle with his own mind.
Heroin Diaries follows the year in the life of a shattered rock star. His actual diary entries are written in black. Himself, along with his band mates and friends, such as Tommy Lee, explain to the reader what was going on during that time and what each entry is about. These reflections are written in red.
A very interesting, well-written book (especially for a guy who was so fucked up when he wrote it).
I highly recommend this book, and would like to give a big thanks to my friend C.D for lending it to me!
Heres a few quotes from the book, written while he was under the influence, to give you a small idea of what he went through:
"Sometimes I feel like I have two personalities. One is Nikki and one is...Sikki."
"There's this really funny thing about heroin... the first time you do it, you throw up, you feel so sick that you can't move. You lay on your back and your head spins and your body flips...you say to yourself, this is the stupidest drug ever. Only the dumb of the dumb would ever do it again."
"Heroin, once it became my friend, became like a warm blanket on a cold night. I don't get sick from it now - I get sick if I don't do it. Isn't it funny how that works?"

Quote of the Day
Seeing as today is Freddie Mercury's 65th Birthday (thank you Google), it only seems right to quote this gentleman:
"I always knew I was a star. And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me."
RIP Freddie, your music truly did change the world.
