Day 49: Fail

So there is the blog called Fail Blog that has its own site. I'm sure you've heard of it. Anyways, I just discovered this clip from them. It's freakin' hilarious. I just thought I'd share :D

Day 48: Scarves!

I. love. scarves. period. I have an obsession. I own around 20 scarves. They have their own drawer. I mean, they're just awesome!!! They're multi-functional! Which I love! They can be a fashion accessory or a warmth provider or even both at the same time! Who would've thunk??? :D And there are so many ways to style a scarf too. You can wrap it around, very simple, or you can wrap it twice, oooh we're gettin' complicated here. Then there are the square scarves that are just a whole new level of awesome. When I wear a scarf, it is usually what completes my outfit. I love it! And the best thing is, it's cold here! So I can wear them all the time!!! :D :D :D That is all. ;)



Even the whiskers agree!!! Scarves are awesome! :D

Day 41: Undecided...

It was recently brought to my attention that my blog seems kind of depressing! Just wanted to let yall know that I am not depressed!!! I'm splendiferous :D :D :D I guess I just put things on here that I can't say anywhere else. Sorry about that!

Sorry you can't understand it! It's still hilarious!!! :D

Days 37-40: Soldiers

So I was listening to my iTunes top rated earlier today and a song came on that I hadn't heard in a while. So I took the time to just listen to the words and really take in the whole song. It really hit me when it was over what it was all about and why the singer sang and maybe even wrote the song. The song is called Somebody's Someone by Lonestar. I would like to share it with you. Please take the time to just listen/read the words. I hope it opens your eyes.

If you don't watch the video, that's fine with me. I just please ask you to listen to the words.


Turn to the six o'clock news, another soldier dies
Tried to hide it but I couldn't help it, I had to cry
When my little boy asked me daddy was he your friend
I said no, I didn't even know him

But he was somebody's someone, a neighbor, a husband
A brother, a father, and a mother's only son
He was an uncle, a cousin, somebody's best friend
And I'm sure at times a shoulder to lean on
He was somebody's someone

So I sat there in that chair and helped him understand
How this brave young man gave his life for our land
And although he's someone we'll never know
To you and me he is a hero

He was somebody's someone, a neighbor, a husband
A brother, a father, and a mother's only son
He was an uncle, a cousin, somebody's best friend
And I'm sure at times a shoulder to lean on
He was somebody's someone

To the world he was a total stranger
Who kept us safe and out of danger
But now he's just a picture on TV
Somebody's memory

He was somebody's someone, a neighbor, a husband
A brother, a father, and a mother's only son
He was an uncle, a cousin, somebody's best friend
And I'm sure at times a shoulder to lean on
He was somebody's someone
He was somebody's someone

Thank you for reading.

Day 36: Faith in Humanity

So today, we went to the grocery store. And being the poor starving college students that we are, we walk everywhere. But, we weren't even out of the parking lot when a young couple offered us a ride home. They were super sweet and super nice. They had just enough seats for us and were already about to leave. They cleaned out their back seat for us and gave us a ride home. These kind of people are the ones that restore my faith in Humanity. Thank goodness for kind and generous human beings.

Tangent! I found a page on facebook called "Snorts and Giggles" that has a bunch of really funny pictures. I am going to share a few of them with you privileged beings :D Here they are :D Boy are you lucky :D







By the way, each of these represents one of my roommates in one way or another. Some may be for the same person, and some may be from my summer roommates, meaning mostly my sister and neighbors :D I love all the people in my life :D I am so blessed :D

Day 35: Hair

When it comes to hair, it sucks to be a girl. You never know exactly what your hair is going to do that day and it is uncooperative and usually long. Ugh. Why can't we go back to the time where men had long hair in a ponytail and women has super long hair that was always up. Geez. Stupid hair.
But on the other hand, I love my hair! It needs to be cut but other than that, I can get my hair to do whatever I want! Most of the time. For example, I can straighten it whenever, I can now curl it with my straightener, I can put it in curlers and look like shirley temple the next day too. The only thing that sucks is that this year has been full of hair dye mess ups and catastrophes. Long story short, I once had blond hair. Now, it is dark redish with light blonde strips at the front. Many steps came between those two colors. It was a disaster at best.
This weekend, hopefully, I am going to dye and cut my hair! I can't decide whether I want it to be my natural color or lighter, or maybe even darker... Most likely lighter :D

Days 33-34: I like food.

That's right. I like food. But it's more like I LOVE food :D We have a love-hate relationship sometimes though. Sometimes I hate it because it makes me gain weight. But on the other hand, it tastes sooooo goood!!!!! Golly!!! Silly food!!! That is all :D I know, boring and pointless. Get over it :)

Day 30-32: I don't even know...

So my weekend felt super long. On saturday, I didn't wake up till 1 and then went to bed at midnight. And I didn't leave the apartment all day long. Most boring day ever. Then sunday, I didn't wake up in time for church and ended up waking up in the middle of sunday school. So I went to Sacrament meeting. Bored all day. What a long weekend. Geez.
Yesterday, I was super tired. I am today too. Every time I go to my choir class, it just makes me want to be a choir teacher even more. I'm glad I found something I'm passionate about :D. I also started to draw anime last night. My roommate got me hooked on this one anime show. So I decided I would try to draw her. I did! And it looks good! I'm so excited that I can draw anime!!! :D So I have been drawing them all over my papers now. It's fun :D.

I only have a week left of my Book of Mormon class. And we don't even have class next tuesday because he is giving us time to write our final. Which is just a paper on all the things we studied in the class. I'm kinda sad that it's gonna be over. But on the other hand, it will give me a lot more time to focus on my other classes. Especially psychology. Reason being is because I took the second test yesterday and got a 56%. Not good. I almost cried. But I was too tired to react at all. I was overconfident going into it and now I need to calm down and focus.
I actually slept through my psychology class this morning. My alarm no longer wakes me up. So instead of waking up at 7 so I could get ready and get to my class at 8, I woke up at 9. I ended up laying in my bed for another 30 minutes cause I just could not get up. It sucked. Hard core. And I'm still super duper tired. It's freakin' crazy. I hate it. So I'm gonna start putting my alarm on my desk instead of by my bed. I hope that will help.
I'm finally getting real calluses from playing the guitar!!! They would always start to develop and then I would stop playing and peel them off. Not this time!!! They are here to stay! Woot woot!!! :D I love playing the guitar :) It makes me happy :) Same with the piano :) Sigh :)

Day 30: Invitations

First of all, ONE MONTH MARKER!!!!!!!! :D I have now been a college student for one whole month :D It's not bad! I'm enjoying it! For the most part that is.
Now for the real reason of this post. We all know the types of invites. There's the invitation because they want you to come. These are the best kind. Then there are the invites out of pity. I have had plenty of these. They suck. Period. There are also invites out of sympathy. These also appear quite often in my life. I usually deny them though, because I hate them. With a passion. Then, of course, there are the invites out of requirement. These are when someone of influence over the inviter has forced them into inviting the invitee. Usually, these appear with siblings. But sometimes, often for me, the parents of a "friend" know that someone is getting left out. Therefore, that loner gets an invite because the inviter was forced. These hate these kind too.
Ok, so you may be asking why I am educating y'all on types of invitations. This is because I had a sympathy invite today. I made me a bit depressed and more angry. I end up being alone in my apartment quite often. Mostly because nobody notices that this happens. It happens. A lot. And not only here in college. When I was in middle school, I would often spend close to three hours home alone every weekday. I don't remember why though... Oh well!
Anyhoo! Back to why I am writing this post. I hate sympathy invitations. These are the kind I get most often. Hence why I hate them so much. These are also pretty much the ONLY type of invites I have gotten whilst attending college. It sucks! Hard Core! That's why I hate them so much!!! I feel like getting up in front of the whole school and screaming "I'M A PERSON! TREAT MY LIKE ONE! OPEN YOUR FREAKIN' EYES JERKS!" Ugh. UGH. (Big SIGH...)
So if anyone that happens to be in Rexburg is reading this, which I highly doubt, please, be my friend.

Day 29: Honoring God

This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School , Kingston , Tennessee by school Principal, Jody McLeod

"It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country."

Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it "an alternate life style," and if someone is offended, that's OK.

I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, "safe sex." If someone is offended, that's OK.

I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a "viable! means of birth control." If someone is offended, no problem...

I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess "Mother Earth" and call it "ecology.."

I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment.."

However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to Bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated.

This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical.
Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments.

Nevertheless , as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical... I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression.

For this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," and refrain from praying at this time.

" However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM,in the name of JESUS, to Bless this event, please feel free to do so.. As far as I know, that's not against the law----yet."

One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray.

They prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer's Box!

The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court of the United States of America- the Seat of "Justice" in the "one nation, under GOD."

Somehow, Kingston , Tennessee Remembered what so many have forgotten. We are given the Freedom OF Religion, not the Freedom FROM Religion.Praise GOD that HIS remnant remains!

JESUS said, "If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of you before MY FATHER.."


I received this in an email recently and it struck a chord with me. Thank you for reading.

Day 28: Rain :D

I LOVE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It smells wonderful, feels wonderful, tastes wonderful, looks wonderful, it's just wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D I even grew up in Oregon :D And I still love it :D That is all :D

Day 27: Breakable

I would like to share with you a song. It's called Breakable by Ingrid Michaelson. I like it very much. If you would like to hear it, you are welcome to find it on Youtube! But, here are the lyrics! My favorite part! :)

Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts
So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess,
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys

And you fasten my seat belt because it is the law
In your two ton death trap I finally saw
A piece of love in your face that bathed me in regret
Then you drove me to places I'll never forget

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys

And we are so fragile,
And our cracking bones make noise,
And we are just,
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls-
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls-
Breakable, breakable, breakable girls and boys

You're Welcome :) It's a favorite of the many hundreds!

Day 25: Tattoos

When I was younger, meaning last year, I thought that people who got tattoos were stupid. I saw no point in getting a tattoo. Who would willingly torture themselves just to get an image permanently put on your body? And when you're old and saggy, we all know it's going to happen, what are you gonna think of the tattoo then, eh? Nastiness.
It wasn't until the last few months that I started thinking seriously about why a person would get a tattoo. I began to see the appeal in it. I actually found a tattoo I would like to get and I know exactly where to put it too! Strange, eh? But of course, I'm not going to get a tattoo. I'm just saying that I understand. I also have started to think that a guy with a tattoo is actually pretty attractive. But not if they are covered by them. Gross.
I'm just saying :) I think they're pretty cool now :D By the way, the picture is the tattoo that I would get, kind of. I actually drew what I want. It's that plus a peace sign on the inside of the heart and "love" written from the stem of the treble clef. It looks pretty awesome if I do say so myself :D

Day 23: Rebellion

You know how no matter how hard you try, you just can't keep bad words out of your head sometimes? Well today, or specifically the last few hours, have been like that and then some. And you know the friends that you just feel like smacking upside the head sometimes just 'cause they are being so stupid? I have one of those. But she's a little too touchy for me to say anything about it. It sucks! Hard core! Then there are those times when you are just pissed off and the littlest thing will blow a fuse in your brain and cause a major explosion as could be seen on mythbusters.
So today has just been one of "those" days. Extreme emotions running on end. My brain is turning into mush. I think that if someone were to open my skull right now, they would find a pile of ramen noodle like contents instead of a brain. Or maybe mashed potatoes. What sucks the most is that I got to the point where I was putting those words and harsh conversations into my own head, without the influence of a certain someone that we all hate.
And on top of all of this nastiness, I can't take my meds this weekend or else I will run out of them during the week, which is much worse than losing my head on the weekend. And a certain someone can't stop pointing out that I am going crazy because of my lack of medication. I am perfectly aware of what was going to happen when I didn't take my medications on purpose. GET OVER IT! GET OFF MY FREAKIN' CASE (insert bad word of choice here)! I know myself much better than you think you know me. Shut your freakin' mouth. Please and thank you.
So I'll get off my rant now. Sorry for the nastiness that is now infecting my blog that probably nobody even reads.

Day 22: Getting an attitude adjustment

 I believe in the power of music. It is a blunt force wind that can do great damage and carve beautiful canyons out of granite. I believe that music has influence enough to change us in deeper ways than we could ever grasp. I speculate that the music a person has on their top 25 most played list on their iPod will tell you more about the person than the people themselves could tell you. For example, I recently discovered that I very much enjoy british music. Even more so than american music. To me, this says that I love feeling foreign or different and that I want to travel the whole world round in this life.
       Music has the power to change a persons attitude at the crack of a whip. I know this from personal experience. When I am having a bad day, which happens often, I might listen to 3OH!3 or Paramore. Listening to this kind of music will prolong my anger and allow me to let out all the negativity that is circulating my train of thought. I am the type of person to hold those feelings in and letting them out every once in a while is very beneficial. If I bottle them up for too long I become a bottle of Diet Coke just waiting for a Mentos to break my tension. But, on the other hand, I could listen to Taylor Swift, Ingrid Michaelson or Lenka. These are the songs that you may hear me singing very loudly from the shower or in the car. This kind of upbeat, happy music will change my mood, as I said before, at the crack of a whip. My peevishness quickly makes a sharp U-turn onto Sunshine Avenue. Whichever one I choose to indulge in, more often Lenka than 3OH!3, my attitude changes to fit the music I bombard myself with.
       I know from experience that music has the power to influence people to become opposite of the way they were raised. This goes for both ends of the spectrum. Many people in my junior and senior classes were the type of people that listened to Acid Reign and Haunted Life. It was usually just loud enough that it would seep into my brain like car oil and affect my every word and action. It would most often transform me into a person filled with attitude, harsh come backs and disturbing sarcasm. What was the worst about it was that I wouldn’t care if I hurt someone, emotionally or physically. There were times when I would search for a station on the radio that played screamo just to get myself to be that rough edged person. Things that I would say and do when I was that person were so out of character that it would often scare people at how different I was. That is the power of music in action.
       Music can change people in ways that are of great help or of great destruction. Music is capable of altering anyone in a way that no other person or thing could. Music lives in me. There is power in music. This I believe.

P.S. I didn't take the pictures in this post. Gotta love Google! :D
