just in case you were wondering.


So as I am walking to my door, coming home from school, I realize my parents are in Cali and I will probably be the only home for a little while. no big deal. I walk inside and see the guitar, so naturally I grab it and start playing. I walk over to the computer pull up the words and tabs to my favorite song and am sooo close to just start singing my little heart away when some dude walks around the corner. I nearly had a heart attack. My mom failed to mention that the worker guys were fixing our pipes today. It's totally safe for me to be home alone with two stranger guys...haha it's ok they seemed normal.

The guy who came in first kept trying to make conversation. He'd ask a question, then right when i was about to respond he'd start drilling. really?? First off, I don't really want to talk to you. I'm perfectly fine just uploading my pictures on facebook in silence. Second, If you want to make conversation at least let me answer your weird questions. right? He kept talking to me when he was done drilling and then kept talking as he walked out of the room and down the stairs, and down the hall. what a strange fellow.

That little scenario reminds me of the dentist. When they ask you a question, you try to respond and they say, "Oh, please keep your mouth open dear." Do they not know that you have to move your mouth to talk. Someone should probably tell them.

Today in Biology we got done with correcting our assignments and all of us students were ready to go sit by our friends and talk, like we usually do when we have extra time. Instead Mr. Hathaway says, "Alright with the last 20 minutes of class we are going to talk about Bigfoot." And that is exactly what we did. He sounded pretty convinced that Bigfoot was real. We watched a tv show about the footage found of "Bigfoot". I just thought the whole thing was funny. It reminded me of a movie crazy Mrs. Hansen showed us back in 8th grade. It was all about the facts that prove dragons are real and once lived on this Earth. It was way weird. The other thing that was weird about that is that we watched that in an honors english class. What does that have to do with anything?

just a side note. If you want to drive an hour and a half to the salt flats, take some pictures, stop at a creepy gas station, get ice cream, then drive an hour and a half back, its a great idea.

rainy days and mondays always get me down..

I hate that song. One, because I love both rainy days AND mondays. Two, we had to sing that in choir with the legendary Mrs. Wilcox. barf haha I really do love rainy days. Don't get me wrong I love the sun, but there's nothing better than rain, thunder and lightning! When you just don't feel like doing anything but drinking hot chocolate, listening to music, putting on big sweats and wrapping yourself in a big blanket. :) I always love mondays, I love coming back from the weekend and seeing all my friends again.

I'm a little sad because I'm starting to make a lot of new friends. I realize that sounds really stupid. But I keep meeting new people that I really like, and that are really funny! That's a good and a bad thing, good because I'm making fun memories with them, bad because that adds to the list of people I have to say goodbye too. Oh well I've still got a month from today till the move, and I'm going to make the best of every minute.

Wanna hear something funny? I was walking with Spencer today at school and I said "Hey todays the month marker." Spencer-"Uh...it's your time of the month??" Me-"Noooooo. Today there's exactly a month till the move." hahahaha I thought that was pretty funny..

Wish me luck tomorrow in the Bountiful Open. For those of you who don't know what that is it's simply a tennis tournament some of my friends have put together. It'll be a blast and don't even worry A-mo, Maddie P., and I totally made tie dye shirts for the occasion. Well attempted to make them most of the shirt ended up white but I still like them. :)

I can play more than one song on the guitar now! ("Yay maddie!")
here's the list of songs, I know you're dying to know...:
-Only Exception
-Sky
-One Fine Wire
- Falling Slowly
-Lean on Me
dang it there were others but I can't remember...

Let the children's laughter remind us of how we used to be

Why is it the only time I actually feel like doing my darn personal progress it is the also the one time that I can't find it?! My mother's been nagging me forever to start working on it again but of course I've been putting it off. But now I have nothing to do with my life so I've decided I should probably finish my good ol' P.P. I've spent the last hour and a half tearing apart my room/house/car trying to find the cute little pink book. (p.s. since now it's a cute newly designed pink book and you get a cuter necklace when you finish it I have more desire to do it...i'm weird..) Don't you worry it'll pop up here soon enough but by then I'll want nothing to do with it and probably stuff it in one of my drawers. ohhh welll.

random thoughts-
-tomorrow's supposed to be 80. hallelujah!
-I love the sticky finger quesadilla at Wingers

Springin


It feels soooo good to have some nice weather here in Utah where the weather is bipolar. I'm so scared that i'll just be 75 one day then snow the next. So far so good it's stayin pretty warm. I love spring. looove it. I love driving with the windows down, sunglasses on and your favorite song playing ahh what a great feeling. I love wanting to be outside all the time and being able to wear shorts if I so feel obliged. I love seeing green grass and blossoming trees! This year especially i'm holding on to spring, i don't want it to end.

oh! While I was in Cali with the fam my aunt Julianne played us a new church cd she had found and i instantly wanted it. Of course both my mom and I forgot to have her burn it for us before we left (We forget everything). We finally picked it up at the good ol' DB (desert book..) and i've been listening to it since. It's called Nearer and it's gooood. I just can't explain how much i love good music.

Prom is in a week!! I can't wait it'll be a party! I found a dress that i love and it's floor length (which means i can wear keds with it, good thing cause Maddie and heels don't go together haha). I'll give you the low down about how everything goes sometime don't you worry. :)

One more thing! It was the lovely Berkeley Crowell's birthday on thursday!! Jayne and I decided we wanted to make a cake for her. So about 23 minutes before we wanted to take it up to her we decided we wanted more people to join us. So 20
minutes later, 20 texts later about 20 friends showed up and we surprised Berk with our lovely cake! It was fun i love stuff like that. I love being with people. here's a couple pictures of the grand event. Sorry they're blurry they're from my phone.

Today's my lovely mother's birthday. I won't tell ya how old she is cause that's just rude, ok she's turning 40. :) My mom is one of the coolest mom's you'll ever meet. seriously she's awesome. Even though sometimes I act really annoyed by her, i still really love her. My mom is pretty darn funny and don't worry she knows it. Whether she's spitting water trying to act like she's SO surprised, or trying to come up with witty comebacks she's just funny.
I love how much mom wants to be a part of my life and involved with school, friends, boys etc. It's always driven me nuts how when a friend calls for me and she answers, they'll spend a longer time talking to her then they do talking to me. But secretly I love that she likes my friends and that they like her too. I love how hip she is even trying to understand why rappers say "shawty" in every song haha.
I love her taste in muisc, clothes, home decorations, art and movies (not the british ones those are boring..). And I love that she shares her clothes and jewelry with me! I love her blog, it's very amusing. I love how selfless she is. I pretty much just love everything about her. happy birthday momicita :)

just some friendly conversation

While watching Rihana's previous performance being played back during the live results show of American Idol, and seeing Rihana's dancers wearing medal plates and grinding power tools across them to get the spark effect, the very cute Tim Urban turns to me with a confused face and says, "What the heck. This is so weird. I think I'm gonna have that in my next performance." Me: "Oh i think that'd be great, you know what? I'll do it for ya." We both just laughed and continued watching. nbd

During commercial break right after Lee had just found out he's safe he looks and it's clear he's still very nervous. Me: "You OK? You know you're safe, w
hy are you still nervous?" Lee: "Ok, well you see I'm not one of those guys who's just like 'hey! what's up! How you doing!?' I'm
very serious about this and My bro Andre
w is still in the bottom two so i'm nervous for him." Me: "Gotcha. That totally makes sense." Honestly I think he's a good singer but
he was kinda weird, just sayin.

As if the whole American Idol experience wasn't enough on the way home we saw Jay Leno out interviewing people. My dad, Ali and I jumped out of the car and ran over to get a picture. After taking a picture with us and asking us where we're from he decided interviewing a Utahn would be perfect for the segment he was doing. So he asked my Dad if he could interview him about cheating. My Dad assumed he meant cheating in school, but he quickly realized it was about cheating on your spouse. I don't think they'll use his interview because Dad's consistent No to asking whether he's cheated or looked at Playboy etc. is probably too boring for them. Oh well at least we got a picture!
Anyway it was definitely one very exciting day, I don't know why but I think seeing stars is so fun. well Cali is a great place for VACATION that's for sure. :)
