Hopelessly Hopeful

We're the kids you used to love, but then we grew old...

About Me


Without alcohol, the Irish would have taken over the world centuries ago.
Annamarie means graceful. How ironic Mom
I'm a recovering Catholic... as much as I fight it, the Catholic guilt is bone deep and it keeps me honest... the Catholic shame keeps me modest..
Above all, I am a lady. I might have a smart mouth, but I have class, sophistication and intelligence. My mom and dad know how to raise them right!
My life didn't really start until I met Josh. He's my everything. Not only is he sweet, sexy and smart, but he saves people in his spare time... it takes a damn good man to fight fire for free... but it takes an even better woman to put up with that man!!! I am so up for the challenge bug.. *mwah*
LOUD, goofy and outgoing... usually. stubborn and sassy... always.
always live up to being a scorpio; FIESTY. protective. sassy. smartass. loyal.
*blah blah blah* I cant help it.. Short attention span! If it's not worth my time, I'm not listening.
I'm from Jersey. Self-explanatory. Even though Mom is from PA, I don't hold it against her... but it does explain a LOT lol
Coffee is life. Period. (Wawa is the best but Dunkin Donuts works in a pinch because it's across the street lol)
I'm hopelessly addicted to Victoria's Secret, seriously.
Our spoiled poodle, JACK SPARROW♥, is like my child, he's absolutely rotten and its all my fault. Oops. My bad.
You're always hearing something
Until silence interrupts it
Like dinosaur burps
-I don't remember where I saw this but I like it.
I'm just silly me...You either love me, or you hate me.. Its rather simple like that... (And if you hate me, chances are i dont like u, so just go away...)
I think honesty is one of the only things you can really give in a friendship and I live by that. I'm honest, and I want others to be truthful with me as well. I try to be open minded, but I'm a feisty mick and have little patience for stupidity. And the lack of patience triggers sarcasm and bitchiness. You have been warned. (So if you think I'm a bitch, maybe your just dumb...)
I cant apologize for who I am, just my actions. And even thats not really likely... I dont apologize, and I dont like to admit I'm wrong, BUT if I love you enough, I will♥.So I say "Suck it up, walk it off, and take it like a man". Mainly because I don't wanna hear your whining, but really because I told you how I felt and if I wanted to hear any shit out out of you, I'd squeeze your head.

***If u want to be added as my friend just so u can ask for pictures of me, then you can go fuck off. I don't need some perverts begging for pictures like they're homeless people. I'm sure there are plenty of whores out there willing to trade pictures with you (don't know any? Look in Mt. Holly, because I don't happen to be one of them. (EDIT: Laci Doyle's parents note that their daughter is NOT a whore. That being said, the comment wasn't about her, but that they think it was, hints at their self-inportance and their true feelings about their daughter. Fruedian slip? Guilty conscience?)***

Meg for being my best friend no matter how long it is between our all-night girl sessions, and no matter what stupid decisions I may have made. I love you chic!
My "Cookstown Crew" for being so damn awesome and helping to make me the strong person I am. It was you guys who gave me the strength to go out on my own, knowing that I was loved and encouraged, and that I always had a home to come back to. Where ever we are will always be home, and you will always be family. Thank you for being there!
MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! My amazing husband who saves me from myself everyday.. Your the best thing that ever happened to me, and you are my good karma coming back for all the shitting things I've had to go through. You survived your childhood, and I was put here to be your reward. Can't wait for more scrapbook moments. You're my Mr. Bug...I'd be lost and broken without you. *mwah* always my hero :) p.s., that means "I WIN!!!!!" lol ♥ ♥ ♥
