Outweighed

I am going to be back in Utah Valley in 1.5 weeks!!

Lets make a list of things I'm going to miss about Logan.

• Maddy
• Jorge
• Kim
• Alissa
• Pizza Plus. A little.

Now lets make a list of things I will not miss about Logan.

• The devil roommate.
• My little bunk bed that I sometimes hit my head on.
• My family, friends, and boyfriend (because I'll be with them so they won't be missed!)
• The tiny, yucky, cluttered shower and bathroom.
• The toilet that is so short I'm convinced it's for elves.
• Parking outside.
• Not having a dishwasher.
• The sleepless nights.
• Having to pay to do the laundry.
• Only eating cereal because I'm lazy.
• Watching shows by myself.
• My stupid major.
• The slooooowest internet.
• Basically everything.

It's not like I'm going to live at home forever.

But I'm extremely excited to be with my family again for a while.

See ya, Logan.

Ps. I love gifs of cute animals.

Not Complaining

I was going to make a list of things that are good in the previous post since all I did was whine but I thought it should just be a new post.

There are positive things in my life people.

1. I have decided on a major! I'm an International Studies girl.

I'm really excited about this because now I feel like I have a purpose up here. 

And one of the classes I'm taking now counts toward it though I didn't know what I would be doing when I signed up for it. 

That was a nice, happy surprise.

2. My bridesmaid dress for the wedding is really pretty.

It's fun to feel exceptionally pretty every once in a while.

3. My bed is wayy too comfortable.

4. I get to be with all my favorite people for the majority of this week. 

That never happens.

5. Jake stares at me while we watch movies with love in his eyes then kisses my cheek.

It's probably the cutest thing ever.

6. I had sushi on Friday and it was magical. Magically delicious.

7. I have the best mom in the world.

I guess my complains and non-complains even out.

Life is pretty great.

One can always find things to be happy about.

Complaining

My brother is getting married this week!

And do you know what?

I get to be in Pleasant Grove for almost 5 whole days.

I'm super happy because it's starting to suck up here.

Reasons:

1. I'm thinking that my roommate steals my clothes when I'm gone.

2. Also thinking that she had sex on my bed this weekend.

3. Alsoo thinking that she steals my favorite pomegranate chocolates from Costco.

4. Someone used the rest of my coconut coffee creamer that I use for pina coladas.

These people don't even drink coffee.

5. It's getting cold. And it's getting cold in PG too but at least I have a fire place there.

6. I don't have a fire place.

7. I miss my family and my boyfriend and Shalla.

The End.

NBD

So, apparently someone decided that today is

National Boyfriend Day.

OH  GOODIE!!
This means that I am going to post about my boyfriend!

This is the first picture that was ever taken of us.

This is the latest picture of us.

A few things I have learned over the past 15 months we have been together...

...I don't like my hair dyed blond.

...I can get really weird if I feel totally comfortable around you.

...If you're with a person for long enough, 

they won't care if you don't shave your legs for weeks at a time.

...Some guys don't ever, EVER wear shorts.

Jake is this guy.

...The saying "the way to get to a mans heart is through is stomach" may not be entirely true,

but everyone likes food so it doesn't hurt.

...Holding hands is one of life's simple pleasures.

...I am crazy for Jake.

So even though it's most likely a fake thing

(I saw someones tweet about it so that makes it totally legitimate)

here's a shout out for my ma boii.

P.S. Just realized that NBD commonly stands for No Big Deal.

My Brain Hurts

Here are some ridiculous things that plague my mind every day.

1. What group of people are turned on by drag queens? Is it gay men, straight men, lesbians....? I'm not even trying to be disrespectful, if gay dudes want to dress up like girls then that is awesome. But seriously, I need to know.

2. Why do we have the letter k? And why does ph make the f sound? Why not just stick with f? Fotografy, elefant, alfabet, pedofile, those all seem to work with out the ph..

3. What happens to someones facebook/twitter/blog/social-network-whatever when they die? And what would I do if I saw them post something like 4 years after being buried? (probably pass out)

4. Was this song composed by Danny Elfman?

Smiles

Things that are making me happy this week:

• Getting off the wait list and into a much wanted Japanese class.
• Finding a bottle of yummy barbecue sauce that makes chicken nuggets worth the calories.
• Having a sleepover with my favorite cousin.
• The great art of cinema.
• Being able to adequately and painlessly chew after 1.5 weeks of liquids and wincing.
• Beautiful people.

• Dinner with my boyfriend.
• Neighborhood BBQ's that end with fireworks and giggling kids.
• My family. Every day.
• Watching drag queen shows with my momma.
• Pinterest. Really can't get enough of that place.
• Black and white pictures. 

Totally Buggin

Here are some truths for ya.

• I don't like this place. It's just not designed well. So that makes me post less.
• I am getting the whole Adobe CS5 installed on my laptop very soon. Better believe I'll be changing things.
• This is my 100th post. Big day? I'm neutral about it.
• I watched Clueless yesterday and was laughing the whole time. Gem of the 90's.
• I have been talking to my roommates-to-be this coming fall semester and am very anxious so get to school. I already know it is going to be a blast.
• I painted my nails on Sunday. They turned out much better than expected and that made me happy and proud.
• Yesterday I was a loser and checked facebook and instagram way too many times.
• I kinda miss the beach. 

Smiles

Things that make me happy today,

and every day for that matter.

1. The relief that comes with a successful 12 page research paper submission.
2. Pretty blue toe nails.
3. My family. Every day I love them.
4. Knowing that I will be in Disneyland with some of my best friends tomorrow.
5. New music on my iPod.
6. The velvety feeling of freshly shaved legs rubbing together.
7. Smoothies and breakfast burritos from mom.
8. Showers.
9. My lovely, easy, fun curls.
10. Warm honey green tea to wash the cold away.
11. The sun saying hi after crying all day.
12. Life.

I think that is a wonderful list.

I'm content.

I'm genuinely happy.

What a wonderful feeling.

Everyone should have this.

I will share mine with you if you need a pick-me-up.

Happy songs here, here, and here.

Happy pictures here, here, and here.

Happy you here.

It's a fancy mirror people.

LETS ALL BE HAPPY TODAY ALRIGHT!

Favorite Things

I am kinda getting a hold of this vlog thing.

Gotta say that it is fun.

Hopefully I'm not insanely boring.

I decided to talk about some of my favorite things around my room.

I'm so cool! (maybe)

Updating, Yo

I definitely updated my About Me page.

It's like 12:30 in the a.m. so set your standards to tired.

I did it anyway.

Check me out.

But first, you may dance a little.

Chick Code

I have just discovered the Chick Code.

It is like the Bro Code but probably a lot cooler.

You may check it out here.

The funny thing is that most of them are completely true.

My favorites are:

9) A Chick will drop whatever she's doing and rush to help her Side-Chick when and if she gets dumped. Things required to ensure maximum comfort for your dumped Side-Chick: a shoulder to cry on, arms to hug, things to break, tissues, chocolate, alcohol, chick flicks, angry chick music, popcorn, mani/pedi kit, facial kit, and words aimed to describe what a douche what's-his-face was.

37) A Chick always reserves the right to get miffed if her male companion does not exhibit gentlemanly conduct (i.e. not opening the door for her, not pulling out her chair for her to sit down, not offering to pay, etc.)

72) A Chick always spell-checks.

89) A Chick does not work in the kitchen, nor does she make/bring her man a sandwich.

112) Should a Girl Power song come on, a Chick is expected, at the very least, to shriek about how much she loves that song.

122) A Chick lets guys win half the time. Enough so that he doesn't get bitter, enough so that you'll still feel good about yourself.

139) Chicks are smarter than guys. It's a scientific fact.

You go, girlfriend!

Couldn't resist....

GO CRAZY

Exciting List!!!!

Keeping with the spirit of list week, I will still have a list today.

But you must know lots of exciting stuff has been going on in my life since yesterday.

And by lots I mean like two things.

So here is my exciting list of maybe two things.

1. Last night, mom and I made a quick Walmart run at 11:30 pm to grab some stuff for Matt's birthday.  We were just about to check out and I needed some lotion so naturally I went to the lotion aisle and guess who I saw...Rick Buck with his girlfriend/fiance/wife Melanie! For those of you that don't know who the heck Rick Buck is, he's from the Mormom Bachelor. Our friend, Erin Spencer, was one of his dates so we watched the whole season. I just stared at him while we were in the lotion aisle, and I think he was getting a bit suspicious. I ran to tell my mom who I saw and she was pretty doubtful because last we heard he was living in California. We get to the car after the paying is done and start to pull out, I'm all fidgety and excited, and who walks out of the entrance?? Rick Buck of course. I start bouncing all over, pointing, maybe shouting a bit...who knows. Some how I convinced my mom to stop and roll down the window so I could say I'm glad you guys are together, sorry for staring at you, and what the heck are you doing in Cedar Hills. We then had a nice lil' conversation with Rick and Melanie and they had a nice chat with some strangers at 11:55 pm in the dark parking lot of Walmart. I love my life.

This is Rick and Melanie. 

2. It's Matthew's Birthday!! He's so stinkin' cute. The other day he said to mom, "I wish birthdays weren't about presents and stuff, just about love."! Then we said.."So it's okay if you don't get presents?" And he decided he actually doesn't mind them. Cutest <3

P.S. This is at Manila's Dance Festival from Wednesday. He cracks me up.

3. I'm having a sleep over/weekend party with my long lost neighbors the Fordham's!! Been looking forward to this weekend for a month. Karissa and I and sometimes Conner had the best of times. But that's pretty obvious, only the cool kids have water balloon boobs.

Cutest little 7 year olds ever? I think so.

S-W-C List

Here is a list of things I Shoulda Woulda Coulda done today...but just didn't.

1. Cleaned my room.
2. Gone running.
3. Exercised at all for that matter...
4. Written a dang 8 page research paper. I will be up all night. Thank you laziness.
5. Watched the Dick Van Dyke show or Ever After or both, maybe.
6. Cleaned my bathroom.
7. Done some crafty craft where I get my craft on.
8. Gone to work. AKA put money in the bank for a rainy day. Which would be nice cuz it's awful rainy lately.
9. Whipped out some mad dance moves.
10. Made a good lunch instead of fundip and Vanilla Rooibos tea (which is quite good by the way).

Welcome to my life.

I think there are wayyy to many items on the S-W-C list.

Also, I'm blogging right now...

and not doing things on the list.

That's why it's a DOUBLE faceplam.

I Declare This LIST WEEK!

I just decided that it's gonna be list week.

For a few reasons:

1. I made a list yesterday, might as well continue.

2. Sometimes a girl's gotta be organized and make lists. Mostly so I can cross stuff off and feel accomplished/good about myself.

3. It's the last week of school so I shall make lists of my summer plans!

4. Lists just look so nice and prepared and NICE.

5. They're real easy and simple, you know? I like easy stuff...

6. Ever since I googled Bizarre Holidays and came across this, I've kinda always wanted to have my own weekly event.

7. This is a list ^^ so clearly I'mma make it list week.

Happy List Week from me to you!!

Make some lists.

Cross off some stuff.

Go crazy.

It's satisfying.

Great Day

It's a great day to:

1. Sleep in til 10:34.

2. Have a breakfast of scones & honeybutter at Oma's house.

3. Watch The Breakfast club after breakfast is in your belly.

4. Scrub the snot outta your tub just so you can have a nice, clean, relaxing soak later on.

5. Dance around your room with the door halfway open, preferably to disco songs.

(unofficial 6) Not wear a bra.

6. Open the window when the sun finally decides to come out from behind the clouds.

7. Blog stalk some people...

8. Play the ukulele or any instrument for that matter.

9. Have some cake and NOT feel guilty.

10. Just smile. Smile at the little things like grass, glitter, and strawberry seeds.

Also, smile at the invisible things like wind, love, and the force. 

Especially the force.

11. Love some people. 

Once you have learned to love, you will have learned to live.
