Love is WHat briNgs Us toGether toDay <3

Sierra visited and it was way fun! We went to Jenna's basketball game and then we were gonna go bowling, but there was a long wait so we went over to the Rex (which has bowling, movie theater, arcade,etc) and we played ROCK BAND til curfew! It was so fun and pretty much made my life happier. Church was good on sunday and we ate a really good dinner and watched the movie No Reservations-it's cute. That night we went sledding and had a snowball fight-of course it was all sunday appropriate-no worries Mom and Dad =)


So then Monday and Tuesday I spent in Logan, Utah for a very happy occasion! Jennifer Starn is now officially Mrs./Sister Jennifer Shira! She's married! Another roomie down, so who's next? Haha! No, really tho, the wedding was really wonderful and she looked so beautiful! Weddings just make me think about my future and what it could possibly have in store for me. I like it. I also got to be with the whole Starn family and they are so great, they are like my second family and I love them! On the car ride to Logan Jenna, Chloe', and I made some music videos and it was hilarious to watch! Maybe I'll post one...we'll see. On the way home we got lost for like an hour because I-15 is not close to Logan so we had to figure out a new way to get to it. We went through Preston, Idaho and saw all the places where they filmed Napoleon Dynamite. it was pretty cool. Gy also called me on the way home, but Jenna and Chloe' were so loud and hyper that I had to call him back when I got to Rexburg, but he was asleep by the time I called him back. Ho Hum.

Anyways, I've been kinda down lately and I'm not completely sure why, but I'm just gonna keep my head held high and focus on what's going for me. That's usually what keeps me going.

How full is your gas tank, Really?



O my gosh I just have to say this...I was driving to go out to lunch at Bajio with some friends and my car was pretty much on empty and just as we were driving almost directly next to a chevron gas station my car started to decelerate really fastly....to 0mph...I was kinda nervous but surprisingly calm. I just kind of made a left turn glide into the gas station parking lot, but we didn't make it to the actual station , so my roomies had to get out and push the car to the the station. It was pretty hilarious. I must say that it has made my day. I have learned the very important lesson to always keep my tank at least half full or a quarter and no less. Who knows where that could have happened or if I could have caused an accident. That's all.




Super Di Dooper

Last night was so fun! My roomies Chloe', Jenna, and Lauren, plus old roomie Jes and next door neighbor Laura, and my brother James and his roomie Jeff played sardines in the Hart building. It was probably one of the funnest things I 've done in a while with a big group of people. I would have to say that Jes and I had the best hiding spot...nobody even knew where we were really. We rock!


I would have to say that today is great so far too..all I've done is get ready, clean my room, and now I'm watching the Office, the love of my life right now...haha.


Here's a quote for the day:


Michael: I am like Superman and everyone else is like the citizens of Gotham.


Dwight: That's Batman.


Michael: Ok...well then I'm Aquaman...ok. Where does he live, huh?


Jim: The ocean.


So good, huh?!


Well Sierra's coming to visit me today and stay for the weekend! It's gonna be a blast, I do so believe! Ok well I'll just leave with a song of the day. Let me think. Ok I know what it is for today.

TypicaL


So it's funny how I have nothing to write about today...it was just a typical good day, but nothing of importance really...I did get my hair colored. It looks really good too, 4 different tones of a mixture of reds and browns. Fun stuff!

Anyways, I asked the coolest roomie EVER, Chloe', what I should write about due to my lack of verbage, and she gave me a fantastic idea so here goes.

Did you ever notice how a black and white picture doesn't always look like it has much to it. Then, you look a lil closer and maybe a lil closer still....and BAM! It comes alive...tons of little details fly at you that maybe you wouldn't even see in a colored picture. It's pretty magical. You can really get to know a person or the history of a place thru a picture. What's that saying? "A picture is worth a thousand words" Well that's so true, but have you heard this saying? "A black and white picture is...worth more." Ponder that. So I think you should all take a closer look at black and white pictures and find those details that really show off the place it is taken, the history to it, and a person's physical attributes and even tells you some of their personality traits!

WoRd.

The Best Day in a While!

So here's the deal... today is great! Since it was such a great day I will tell you all that happened! I got to school early and I learned a lot about products and I colored some strands of hair to see what their results were....it was good. I also aced a test and then I learned some good techniques to round brush girls hair...which sounds easy, but really there's a trick to doing it really well. Anyways it was just good! I applied for a job at Maurice's and it sounds promising (knock on wood)! I also got to eat a Happy Meal from McDonald's which brought me back to my kiddie years which made me even happier because honestly, who doesn't wanna be a kid forever? I went to help at the stake humanitarian project but ended up talking to Kris-the sweetest chica ever-about her life and she was sick so I made her feel better? Ok I'm just justifying myself, but hey it really did make her feel better =) I came home and talked to my best friend Ging-Yen for a lil bit, who is absolutely amazing as always and then my good friend Matt came over for a haircut and we all just hung out for a lil bit. It was really nice and I liked it, it was good to just talk and be with friends. So now I'm blogging (I like this word) and I think it's a good outlet for me. Basically, I love life and things can only go up from here as far as I believe.



Well, I think I'll take Matt's advice and listen to Explosions in the Sky to fall asleep to...wish me luck!

My lil rant...


So, I was just sitting here thinking. I know thinking usually gets me nowhere, but I just wanna talk about something I've just decided on.


To do that I will tell a short story. Ok so this past valentine's day, a few days ago, I was at school and it was my turn to work at the front desk. Normally this just involves taking tickets back to the girls for their appointments, but since it was valentines day I also had to deliver flowers to all the girls with boyfriends, lovers, etc. Well, it was fun giving them to each girl and seeing their reactions, but it got me thinking...I want a guy who gives me flowers. I mean it's something small, but I think it would mean a lot to me (being as I haven't gotten since high school from a guy). It doesn't have to be a huge, elegant, boquet, just something small is fine. But I just think it can say alot to a person. I guess I had never thought about not getting them, and now that I have, it's what I want. It's romantic and cute. So, call me crazy but I like that I actually know what I want for once...it feels good even for something so silly and small.


Well, that's all I really wanted to rant about...


Peace out.

Yay Virtual Story-telling of Life!

So basically I just looked at my sister Heather and her husband Jason's blog and I decided to make one...again. I had one before on another site, but I stopped using it and have no idea where it was...silly me. So this will be fun! That's all for now! Happy Presidents Day =)
