Dear readers of my blog,
I am about to tell you why this week sucks like a bad kisser with onion breath, and why this isn't the first time that this ordained week has sucked in the past.
Let's rewind two years. Got there? K, good. It's December 2010, the week before finals. Sunday, actually. And my life is fine and dandy, except for the fact that I am about to embark upon a horrible week of finals. Well, that Sunday night, I find out that my favorite teacher has been not only fired, but arrested. Most people wouldn't have an issue with this, but I was really close to this teacher. I really trusted him, and he had taught me more than anyone else had that short semester. I cried myself to sleep. Next day, Monday. I'm driving to Seminary with my dad. As a sophomore, I had my learners permit, and that was basically the only place I drove. I was thinking to myself, "Oh, I wish I was back in bed..." and my dad was lecturing me on either something about my help, some business plan, or my driving skills. I don't really recall which it was, I just remember my exhaustion. And then, I made a left hand turn. And got t-boned.
Let me clarify this: It *WAS* my fault. I wasn't paying attention, and I made the turn a little too soon. The car, which was going about 15 miles per hour, decided to ACCELERATE, and hit us at 30 miles per hour. I sat in the passengers seat and bawled, as my dad exchanged insurance information. I skipped seminary that day, instead sitting in the car the entire 50 minutes and crying. Yes, it was cold.
On top of that, there was this one girl, let's call her Stupid face, was a horrible bully to me, and that week was no exception. I got viscous facebook messages from her, and I gave up my prior feeble attempts to make amends and be her friend, and I blocked her on facebook.
Woohoo. That was one heck of a roller coaster.
Last year wasn't nearly as bad. It was pretty good, as far as finals go. My best friend, and crush at the time, was ignoring me and giving me an incredibly hard time about why we couldn't be friends and yaddy yaddy ya. So, although nothing heart breaking happened, it was an emotional week for me.
Now let's talk about this year. Namely, this week. This friggin week. Well, it's Tuesday. And it's finals week. And I was feeling preeeettty cocky about finals. No, I won't enjoy them. No, they won't be easy. But yes, I'm pretty confident I'm gonna kick some serious booty. I spent all day yesterday finishing my finals for my technology class, and getting caught up on geometry props (which I still need to finish...). I rushed from my technology class to my babysitting job, unfortunately within 5 minutes of each other. As I was running out, I grabbed the first book I could find under neath boxes of junk and towels that littered my bookshelf, since I didn't have any homework I could bring with me. I grabbed a thick novel, shoved into my purse, and didn't look at it until I was sitting on their couch 30 minutes later. The kids were watching a show that had zero appeal to me, and we didn't have to pick up the oldest from the bus stop for another 45 minutes. I had assumed I'd grabbed a Harry Potter novel, since those are my thickest, and were usually at the top of my precarious stacks. So I grabbed the book and plopped onto the couch to read. Can you guess what book it was?
No, not the Goblet of Fire.
Twilight.
Someone choke me.
Not a big Stephanie Meyer fan. Yes, when I was 13, I was a Twihard. Keyword: was.
Since I had nothing better to do, I read it. And the whole time, I found myself rewriting in my head. She would throw out 3 sentences, and I would mesh them in my head and turn them into 2 sentences, with better description and coherency. I'm not that good of a writer, but I can pride myself with being at least a little bit better than Stephanie Meyer. A little.
About 4 1/2 hours later, the parents got home. I pulled myself off the couch, turned off Doctor Who, chatted quickly, confirmed that I was coming on Saturday to babysit, and I headed to my car.
Which wouldn't start.
I tried twice. 2 long "kerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-rr-rr-rrrrrr" sounds later, I called my dad, who said he'd be there soon. Because of the 15 degree temperature, I headed back to their house. Buuuuuut they didn't answer. Go figure. So I sat in my freezing cold car for 15 minutes until my dad got there, and he drove me home. He told me that it was probably because of the cold and because my car was old and all of that, and it probably needed the battery recharged. So, we'd go get it in the morning.
Which turned into a whole freaking hour long event. See, we tried starting it. Then we tried jump starting it. Then we tried jump starting it while he revved the engine of his car. Then we towed it to the auto shop, where the guy said that I had 7% battery, which should be enough for it to run on, so obviously that wasn't the reason. It is currently charging there, and my dad and I are supposed to go back in about 40 minutes to get the diagnostic on my car. I'm just hoping it's something like, "Oh, you need more break fluid" (which I already know...heh heh....oops.) or "It's cuz you're almost out of gas" (I'm just waiting for the gas light to turn on, that's how low it is), or something else. Something that I can fix.
Just watch. It'll be some large ordeal that will result in me being carless until I can pay to get a new one. Whoooop.
I think this week, every December, is cursed, and will be forever. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one at my school who feels like this.
Because of my unexpected car troubles, I haven't had all of the study time I'd like, and I have to postpone one of my scheduled finals an extra day. No biggie, I'll still be done early, but it's unpleasant to say the least.
And with that, I shall leave you. I have homework to do and tests to study for. And a car to cry over. ;) Jokes.
Watch this. It'll make you laugh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FURdqmkyr9c And no, by "this" I mean this video. Not the questions to my history final which I accidentally pasted here. Those will not make you laugh. They will make you weep, and then overdose on energy drinks.

"She said you'd be my boyfriend"
It has been...so long. I apologize. You should all know why I've been busy. Simply, I am pretty busy. I got my teeth out. I had Thanksgiving. And then school started up again and my life went Cer-az-ay. Now, before you have to ask, I have this lovely photo for you.
yes. That is a picture of me the day after I got my wisdom teeth out. I look like death warmed over?? I know. Thank you.
I am also not going to attempt to finish the song challenge. I know you all had your heart set on it, but I just don't feel like doing it. Sorry. You'll live.
I know I promised I'd get that video to you guys. Well, good news. It's uploading right now. As we speak. Woooot! You're welcome.
Now, I have to tell you guys something. It's hilarious. And it goes like this.
Saturday, Autumn, Georgi and I were going to go kidnap a friend of ours. BUT, Georgi chickened out just as we pulled up to his house, and she drove off. However, previously, we had called him, trying to make sure he was home. We had called from Autumn's phone. So, last night, he texts her. And this is the conversation that ensued(please keep in mind that most of the things "she" said, I actually said):
Timmy: Who is this?
Autumn: Dude, I don't know. Who is this?
Autumn: Oh, wait, I remembered who you are.
Timmy: Okay. Who am I, and who are you?
Autumn: You are the Timothy of O'Mearas.
Timmy: Ok...who are you?
Autumn: This is me. *insert a picture of a realllllyy fat lady*
Timmy: Ur gross!
Autumn: I just really love food, okay?
Timmy: Who are you really?
Autumn: Okay. You got me. I was lying. This is me. *insert picture of Asian with glasses, staring creepily*
Timmy: I call bs on this one.
Autumn: Why would you say that?
Timmy: I don't even know that guy!
Autumn: I never said you knew who I was...
Timmy: ...
Autumn: Okay, okay, fine. This is me. For reals this time. *insert picture of my brother with his face squished up*
Timmy: Ur a freak. How did you get my number?
Autumn: I got it from the tooth fairy. She was out of money, so she gave me your number as compensation. She said you'd be my boyfriend.
And then we went to bed.
Cue this morning.
We're walking out of seminary. Kolton is standing between us, with his arms around us. To Timmy, I say, "So...anything creepy happen to you yesterday?" "No."
Guess how many times I asked him? About 234051892352345. I kept narrowing it down. "Did anything creepy happen to you last NIGHT?" "Did anything WEIRD or creepy happen last night?" "ARE YOU SURE?!?" Finally I asked, "Did you get any weird or creepy texts last night?" And he says, "No...WAIT OH MY GOSH WAS THAT YOU?!" And I start laughing hysterically, and Kolton then says that some creepy guy texted him last night. And then I informed him that it was my little sister...and then I had to show Kolton the pictures. And it was so funny.
"She sent me a picture of a really fat lady with like, three rolls. And then she sent me a picture of a weird Asian...and then an Asian baby." And then I explained that the Asian was my friend. And the "baby" was my brother. And oh my goodness it was hilarious.
If anyone would like me to send these pictures to them so they can imagine it a little bit better, feel free to ask me. I'd love to text them to you.
Oooh boy. Anyway. That's the most exciting thing that's happened to me in the past little while.
Finals are upon us. I figured I'd post today, just cuz I know I'll never get around to it otherwise. And it's a Monday. And I have such a towering pile of homework, it's not even funny. I have a 3 long page checklist I made two weeks ago, and only an eighth of the tasks are crossed off. Please understand I have until Friday to complete them. AND take 5 finals.
If you have a gun and an extra bullet, feel free to shoot me.
And, here is a tribute to Tim. (No, not Timmy. But Tim.)

This blanket it so soft, it's made of unicorns
Day 17 - A song that never gets old
I set fire to the rain ~ Adele. I love this song. I can sing at the top of my lungs to this everyday. Not literally, but you get the picture. ;)
Day 18 - A song that makes me laugh
A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes ~ Cinderella. This song makes me laugh a lot. No, I won't share why.
Day 19 - The most beautiful song
God Be With You Til We Meet Again ~ I have no idea. Yeah, I don't know who wrote this. But I love it. It's one of the few songs that has made me cry tears of JOY multiple times. I just love it a whole lot.
Day 20 ~ A song with terrible singing
How about every song on the radio?!?! No? Okay. Kiss ~ Carly Rae Jepson. Just...that woman was a one hit wonder. End of story.
Day 21 - The best love song
Lucky ~ Jason Mraz. So, this isn't the BEST per say, but it's one of my favorites. So..yeah.
Okay. Now, my excuse for not posting since last Thursday. I got mah wisdom teeth out. Woooohooo. No, I didn't really look like a chipmunk. And yes, I have recovered extremely quickly. Yes, I am pretty awesome. You didn't ask that? My bad...
Just so you don't have to ask, yes, they took videos. And yes, they're pretty funny. So, you're welcome. They didn't video tape me telling everyone about how my blanket was made of unicorns, which I apparently stated as soon as they put me in my bed. But now I've told you, so you'll survive. Anyway, I was very drugged up all of Friday, and in a lot of pain Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday started painfully, but then I somehow got better part way through the day. It's gone up and down a bit, but it's very tolerable. So yes, on day 4 I was totally functional. Driving, doing homework, all that. In Seminary this morning, my teachers jaws dropped upon hearing I'd gotten my teeth out. It made me feel a little bit cool.
My post today has an actual purpose tho. And it is this: I know some of the most amazing people on the planet. Let us begin.
My mother. Oh my lanta, my mother. I love her so much. She drove me to get my teeth out, obviously, and then wiped my tears as soon as they'd woken me up(I don't know why I was emotional, okay?). She also cleaned up all of my drool as I consistently asked whether or not I had a tongue, and felt it. She tucked me into bed, and made sure I got all of my health pills and such on time. AND she made me smoothies everyday. And poached eggs, once I could sorta chew. Friday night was movie night, and there was a specific movie they wanted to watch, but they changed it because as they were reading the description I started crying cuz of the violence(my emotions were messed up...). My mom is incredible, and I am so blessed to have such an amazing and wonderful mother. I just am.
Rachel. As soon as I got home, she sat on my bed with me and held my hand as I dozed in and out of consciousness. She also sang to me. And read to me. And then she watched Doctor Who with me for like, 4 hours. And she offered to let me sleep on the pullout bed with her the first night because I was sorta upset. And I'd already passed out there. She babied me when I really needed it, and it was nice. She religiously iced each side of my face for 20 minutes each, back and forth, and she'd rub my jaw cream stuff on my face. It's just...I am so lucky to have such an amazing sister.
Ian. Ian is always making sure I'm okay. He has a concussion, but he is STILL checking up on me, and making sure that I'm okay. It's nice to know that I have some amazing friends that really care, and that their love for me still exists even tho they're 12 + hours away.
Georgi. This girl has checked up on me every single day. On Friday, she came over to make sure I was okay. She didn't stay long, cuz she had to babysit, but the action of her coming made me happy. Saturday she brought me starbucks and did my nails. She's texted me every single day, just making sure that I'm okay, and wondering if there's anything she can do to help me. Holy shiz I've been blessed with great friends.
I am an incredibly blessed individual. I just am. The past 5 days really showed me that. I am so blessed. And I love the people that I've been blessed with so so much.
Anyway. Now you know how much I love people. The end.

Don't be so messy next time
First things first...
Day 15 - The song with the best lyrics.
Who comes up with these anyways??? I dunno. Whatever.
Little Wonders ~ Rob Thomas. Just...nuff said.
Day 16 - A song you'd like to dedicate to someone you hate.
Jar of Hearts ~ Christina Perri.
Okay. Now, lucky for all ya'll, I collected a few awkward moments for you. Mainly, the first one...
Awkward:
I was at Georgi's house on Tuesday. And we decided it would be funny to text a boy she used to like, from my phone. I say, "I hid the body. Happy now?" to which he replied, "Lol, I think you have the wrong number." So I answer, "Nope, I don't think so *insert boys name here*. What do you want me to do?" Well, he didn't answer. Which was fine. About 15 minutes later, my phone rings. It's a number I don't recognize, but I figure it might be work related or something, so I answered it. Any guesses on who it was? It was his mother...after realizing my name was Aurora, she handed the phone to her son to talk to me. I quickly apologized and hung up, and Georgi and I laughed, quite awkwardly, about it for at least ten minutes. We didn't learn our lesson, obviously, because we decide that she should text the boy that I like from her phone. She says, "I hid the body. Don't be so messy next time." And he responds with something along the lines of, "Who is this?? I'll report you!" And he said he'd report the number to the cops. So she flips poo and tells him who it is and says, "Aurora will never love you if you do that!" *facepalm* It was a bunch of, "Oh my gosh what's wrong with him" and a lot of quick texting. It was so awkward. So so so awkward.
You know that awkward moment when you remember every time anyone's ever fed you grapes? Yup...That's what happens when you watch strange movies.
I was at a birthday party on Friday, and everyone began openly saying that the boy I'm interested in is annoying, and obnoxious, and blah blah blah. It was really awkward for me, cuz none of them knew I liked him....it was real awkward.
At said birthday party, one of the girls told this scary story. I won't tell you the whole story, because you might hate me. But it basically made it super hard for me to leave her house. In the dark. And drive home. Alone. I considered calling Ian, but his head was hurting really bad that night, and it was late. So I didn't. I just loudly sang primary songs, and then I freaking RAN into my house, and slid my back against the walls so the thing couldn't sneak up behind me and eat me. The girl who shared the lovely story couldn't believe that we freaked out so much. Aaaaand my parents gave me some weird looks.
On the drives home from Seminary, we like to turn the radio on to the part where they're all talking, ya know? And then we'll turn the volume off and then up, over and over, so we catch just bits of their sentences. Just so we can see how ridiculous they sound. It's really funny, try it next time you're in your car. Well, today, the radio people were talking about honeymoons....let's just say, we almost peed our pants from the sheer awkwardness of it all. Yeah.
Nicholas is real short. For the past week, he's been complaining about the sun being in his eyes. And I just kept saying, "I'll bring you some phone books tomorrow, okay?" I always forget. So, he'll take all of our blankets and pile them up on his seat, and sit on them. And it's frickin hilarious. Especially when, today, just as we were getting in the car, one of my friends came to his window to ask me a question. And had to ask, "Nicholas...I thought you were shorter..." and he looked so confused.
K, so there was a dance on Saturday. And I wore a batman shirt. Which was awesome. After the dance, a group of us went to sonic. Well, we're stupid. Cuz we forgot that it was COLD. We all huddled together outside for a bit, and then got into Brooke's minivan and cranked the heater. So, I'm sitting next to my friend, Kolton. And he really likes batman too. So, he makes a circular motion with his hand and points to the batman symbol, which is on my chest, and says, "I had this first, understand??" and it got reaaaallly quite. And then his friend busts up and he says, "No! I meant the shirt, I had the shirt first!" And it was really hilarious, although it was somewhat inappropriate.
I'm doing no-shave November. Everyone thinks I'm kidding, but I'm serious. I haven't shaved my legs in over two weeks. I have an impressive amount of hair. If guys can go all that time without shaving, then so can I! Anyway, in the car after the dance, Kolton says something about not shaving. All of the girls in the car proudly announce the last time they'd shaved. Mostly that day. Wusses. Anyway, I say, "Oh yeah. I shaved today too." And I rolled my eyes. As a joke, many people reached for my leg, like to feel it?(I was wearing jeans. Don't worry, I don't show off the hair) And I said, "Just kidding, guys...I'm doing no-shave November...I haven't shaved all month." And the boys instantly recoiled. One of them gagged. I died laughing.
The batman shirt? I considered wearing it today. And when I got to Seminary, I saw that Kolton was wearing his. I can't decide whether that would've been awesome or awkward...
Awesome:
RACHEL GETS HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS TODAY. Holy shiznicklebiscuits. I am so excited. I have missed her so effing much. And she gets home TODAY. Like, her plane lands in 15 minutes. HOLY SON OF A BISHOP. Okay. I'm calm now.
I got a friggin Batman shirt.
The thing from the scary story didn't eat me.
I learned how to take in some pants that are super baggy. Woot!
I fixed my broken flat iron. With duct tape. Like a boss.
I turned in all of my assignments I was behind in! Well...except for...except for the ones I haven't yet. BUT IT'S A START. Besides, there aren't that many behind.
I have become super addicted to Doctor Who...I'm almost done with Season 2...and I'm not sure whether or not to be proud of this fact...
David Tennant is hot. And that's awesome. Like...a whole butt ton of sexy.
Beka and I discovered that Obama was the devils' fart. (Remember the post about that? Read it here. And then I mentioned it again here). It was just...it was just funny. And awesome. (I mean no disrespect to the guy...okay, maybe a little bit...)
That's about it for now, peeps. I'm just gonna watch Doctor Who until Rachel gets here...

So she flips poo and tells him who it is and says, "Aurora will never love you if you do that!" *facepalm* It was a bunch of, "Oh my gosh what's wrong with him" and a lot of quick texting. It was so awkward. So so so awkward.
You know that awkward moment when you remember every time anyone's ever fed you grapes? Yup...That's what happens when you watch strange movies.
I was at a birthday party on Friday, and everyone began openly saying that the boy I'm interested in is annoying, and obnoxious, and blah blah blah. It was really awkward for me, cuz none of them knew I liked him....it was real awkward.
At said birthday party, one of the girls told this scary story. I won't tell you the whole story, because you might hate me. But it basically made it super hard for me to leave her house. In the dark. And drive home. Alone. I considered calling Ian, but his head was hurting really bad that night, and it was late. So I didn't. I just loudly sang primary songs, and then I freaking RAN into my house, and slid my back against the walls so the thing couldn't sneak up behind me and eat me. The girl who shared the lovely story couldn't believe that we freaked out so much. Aaaaand my parents gave me some weird looks.
On the drives home from Seminary, we like to turn the radio on to the part where they're all talking, ya know? And then we'll turn the volume off and then up, over and over, so we catch just bits of their sentences. Just so we can see how ridiculous they sound. It's really funny, try it next time you're in your car. Well, today, the radio people were talking about honeymoons....let's just say, we almost peed our pants from the sheer awkwardness of it all. Yeah.
Nicholas is real short. For the past week, he's been complaining about the sun being in his eyes. And I just kept saying, "I'll bring you some phone books tomorrow, okay?" I always forget. So, he'll take all of our blankets and pile them up on his seat, and sit on them. And it's frickin hilarious. Especially when, today, just as we were getting in the car, one of my friends came to his window to ask me a question. And had to ask, "Nicholas...I thought you were shorter..." and he looked so confused.
K, so there was a dance on Saturday. And I wore a batman shirt. Which was awesome. After the dance, a group of us went to sonic. Well, we're stupid. Cuz we forgot that it was COLD. We all huddled together outside for a bit, and then got into Brooke's minivan and cranked the heater. So, I'm sitting next to my friend, Kolton. And he really likes batman too. So, he makes a circular motion with his hand and points to the batman symbol, which is on my chest, and says, "I had this first, understand??" and it got reaaaallly quite. And then his friend busts up and he says, "No! I meant the shirt, I had the shirt first!" And it was really hilarious, although it was somewhat inappropriate.
I'm doing no-shave November. Everyone thinks I'm kidding, but I'm serious. I haven't shaved my legs in over two weeks. I have an impressive amount of hair. If guys can go all that time without shaving, then so can I! Anyway, in the car after the dance, Kolton says something about not shaving. All of the girls in the car proudly announce the last time they'd shaved. Mostly that day. Wusses. Anyway, I say, "Oh yeah. I shaved today too." And I rolled my eyes. As a joke, many people reached for my leg, like to feel it?(I was wearing jeans. Don't worry, I don't show off the hair) And I said, "Just kidding, guys...I'm doing no-shave November...I haven't shaved all month." And the boys instantly recoiled. One of them gagged. I died laughing.
The batman shirt? I considered wearing it today. And when I got to Seminary, I saw that Kolton was wearing his. I can't decide whether that would've been awesome or awkward...
Awesome:
RACHEL GETS HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS TODAY. Holy shiznicklebiscuits. I am so excited. I have missed her so effing much. And she gets home TODAY. Like, her plane lands in 15 minutes. HOLY SON OF A BISHOP. Okay. I'm calm now.
I got a friggin Batman shirt.
The thing from the scary story didn't eat me.
I learned how to take in some pants that are super baggy. Woot!
I fixed my broken flat iron. With duct tape. Like a boss.
I turned in all of my assignments I was behind in! Well...except for...except for the ones I haven't yet. BUT IT'S A START. Besides, there aren't that many behind.
I have become super addicted to Doctor Who...I'm almost done with Season 2...and I'm not sure whether or not to be proud of this fact...
David Tennant is hot. And that's awesome. Like...a whole butt ton of sexy.
Beka and I discovered that Obama was the devils' fart. (Remember the post about that? Read it here. And then I mentioned it again here). It was just...it was just funny. And awesome. (I mean no disrespect to the guy...okay, maybe a little bit...)
That's about it for now, peeps. I'm just gonna watch Doctor Who until Rachel gets here...

Oops...
I haven't posted in forever, that is obvious. So..here.
Day 10 - A song with an amazing music video
Begin Again ~ Taylor Swift. There are better music videos out there, but I am super attached to this song right now. Plus, I'd already named a song that has one of the best music videos Ev.Er. so this will have to do. ;)
Day 11 - The song that relates the most to your life right now
This is pretty exclusive...THE song...you want THE song? Well, please direct me to an artist that has written a song that talks about a tired, stressed, happy, confused, sore, hungry girl, and I'll name that song. ;) Got nothin?? Well, in that case...
Fine by Me ~ Andy Grammar. This song describes how I feel a little, so why not?
Day 12 - A song you would like to learn how to play on instruments
Wedding Day at Troldhaugen ~ Grieg. I know this isn't exactly what whoever wrote this challenge had in mind, but I want to learn this. So there.
Day 13 - Your favorite TV theme song
The New Girl Theme Song... So, I pondered this for a minute...did you want my favorite tv show's theme song, or my favorite theme song ever? This was the only one that would come to mind that actually had lyrics, so...tada...
Day 14 - The song with the worst lyrics
Sunshine on my shoulders ~ John Denver. This was the easiest song to think of on this list today. I don't like this song. At all. And if you don't believe me, go youtube it. My family and I will mockingly sing, "Sunshine almooost allwaaaayss maakess meee hiiiighhhhh." all the time. It's obnoxious. Bleck.
So, I've been busy. A lot. Mostly because I was forced to catch up in two subjects last week, and I managed to also get through a whole season of Doctor Who....yeah...I'm a tad addicted to that...oops.
Anyway. I'm exhausted. Very much so. And the only picture I've taken since last posting, is a picture of my dad shirtless (please don't ask). So...goodbye, all.

Is your face from McDonalds?
Day 9 - A song your parents play that always gets on your nerves
Over the Rainbow ~ IZ
I'm not hatin on IZ, kay peeps? This song just drives me bonkers. It just does. merp.
Now. Funny conversation a friend and I had. Just for you.
Friend: Is your face from McDonalds?
Me: Yes, I'm actually their poster child.
Friend: ...
Me: Not the response you were expecting? ;)
Friend: No, I expected a response like that. I was hoping for a different one.
Me: Oh. In that case, let's start over. (you ask your question) (my response) no, why?
Friend: Cuz I'm lovin' it!
I died laughing. And then texted multiple friends the same thing, because it was the funniest thing I'd hear all day.
And then, in the check out line at Sams club, I'm standing there and Autumn leans in and says, "Loook. A pregnant man." and gestures with her head. And it was funny. It doesn't sound funny anymore, but it was.
AND THEN, we're walking in the parking lot, and I stick both feet on the side of the cart, and stick one arm forward and I started yelling, "TO NARNIA!!" and we got many a weird look. It was the frickin bomb.
Now, I'm aware that this isn't the Awkward/Awesome post you were hoping for. I have been beyond preoccupied lately. And with NaNoWriMo on top of everything? I'm dying. BUT I LOVE YOU GUYS ANYWAY!
Anyway. That's all. The end. Bye.

Nobama
First things first. The song.
Day 8: A song that isn’t well known, but should be known by the world.
I was having a hard time with this one. I've never super loved an obscure band. I know that there are GREAT ones out there, I've just never found any that I fell in love with before they hit it big time, ya know?
So, I'm sitting here, listening to my current favorite playlist and it hits me. WHY DON'T I USE THIS SONG?!?
So, without further ado, here is my song:
Dance of the Knights ~ Prokofiev (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUmq1cpcglQ)
I love this piece so much. It's like...one of my favorites. In fact, I think the world would be a million times better off if they listened to 20th century classical music more! Just throwin that out there.
Just in case anyone was dying with curiosity, my current favorite playlist is called "20th Century Classical" and is full of Prokofiev, Debussy, Dvorak, Rachmaninoff, Grieg, Ravel, etc. I'll stop talking now, cuz I'll start going into spews of love. For these dead guys. K....
I'm not a super big fan of the whole fact that Obama won the presidential elections last night...but, I have said my opinion multiple times, and I doubt you guys want to hear it, so I'll keep it to myself. Just know that he wasn't born in the US. Nope. He was born...*whispers* in the devils butt hole.
Okay, if Obama ever reads this...I don't mean it...entirely. Sorry, Obama.
JUST KIDDING I DON'T LIKE YOU.
Okay, I'm done now.

Should I feel this guilty?
Okay. This HAD to go in a post all it's own. So, yesterday, Rebekah texts me and says something along the lines of, "We should text morbid things to random numbers." I was babysitting and the kids had just gone to bed, I was having trouble finding the right remotes to watch stuff, so I figured, eh, why not?
So, it began. We each gave a number to the other, of someone that WE knew, but THEY didn't. No one responded. So we did another number. And this is where I got results. Now, we didn't know who we were texting. To make it funnier, ya know? About half way through the conversation, I guessed who it was. I've never talked to this girl, before last night, but I gathered who she was, therefore freaking her out more.
Here's our conversation:
Me: I'm sorry about all the extra blood.
Her: So whosssss this?
Me: That's not important. I just really wanted to apologize for all the blood in your car.
Her: Sokay. I'm a vampire.
Me: Oh thank goodness. How long have you been a vampire?
Her: Three months and 2 days.
Me: I'm so glad you've kept track. Considering this, I assume it's okay that I left a body in your car? Only one...three.
Her: Nah that's okay. I'll dump em in the trash on my way home.
Me: You are a life saver! Or rather...a life...dumper. I got nothin. But yeah. Could you keep 3 teeth from each victim for me?
Her: Actually...I can only get you two teeth...
Me: ....why not all three?
Her: I need to finish my bracelets. Hey cmon. Beggars can't be choosers.
Me: But I need NINE total teeth. I need ALL of them. I can't have SIX. SIX?! What do you take me for?!
Her: For a moon bouncer.
Me: AN EFFING MOON BOUNCER?! Dude, don't be this crevice in my arm. Give me the teeth.
Her: YES. EFFIE. EFFING TRINKET. I'll be a crevice if I want to! I WILL NOT BE SILENCED!
Me: GIVE ME THE FRIGGIN TEETH!
Her: MAKE ME! COME AT ME BROOOOOOOOO.
Me: The next body will be yours...or the teeth. Your choice.
Her: AIGHT. I'll give ya eight teeth.
Me: You are so SEXY right now. I can deal with that.
Her: MADAM. I DIGRESS. THAT IS NOT OKAY.
Me: ...what makes you think I am of the female gender?
Her: Well, judging by ur attempt to deny it, ur a man.
Me: Maybe I'm a female AND a male. Ever thought of that?!
Her: Whatever floats your boat. I don't judge.
Me: Also, I can get your some more teeth in two hours for the bracelets. I know your girlfriend wanted those stat.
Her: Nah sall good. Anyway srsly who is this?
Me: Your worst nightmare.
Her: Cool. Srsly who?
Me: You don't know me.
Her: Do you know my name?
Me: Nope.
Her: Ok. But who are you?
Me: My name is Dee Dee Buttersnaps.
Her: Cool. Or Something.
Me: Yup.
Her: Where'd you get my number?
Me: The phonebook. Maybe. Actually, I just lied on accident.
Her: Palmer?
Me: I one knew someone whose last name was Palmer. Or something.
Her: Ok well. Bye. Goodluck with. Whatever you do.
Me: Thank you! I'll let my female banana companion know you said hi, Miss. M.
Her: ....who is this?
Me: Nobody.
Her: Srsly.
Me: You don't know me.
Her: Ok. But do you know me?
Me: I know of you.
Her: Ok? Who is this?
Me: My friend is your friend. I guess you could say we're friends through association.
Her: Which friend are we discussing?
Me: Your mother.
Her: I can't tell if you're serious or not.
Me: And that's the beauty of mysterious random texts. Let me know if you find any more bodies/teeth. Bye!
So, it began. We each gave a number to the other, of someone that WE knew, but THEY didn't. No one responded. So we did another number. And this is where I got results.

Phew. Okay. So, I hope that made you laugh. At least once. I feel sorta guilty, cuz Beka just told me that it super freaked her out, and she had to have her friend come and check her car for bodies...and then she called Beka and told her about this freaky person. Once Beka calmed her down tho, she thought it was hilarious tho...apparently. But anyway. I feel guilty. SO, Miriah...if you are reading this, I formally and PUBLICLY apologize. Uhyup.
Here's the link to Beka's blog post where she refers to her experience.
Laters, peeps.
"Hey, can we shower in your house?"
Today, I'm giving you all the pictures I've taken for you, and failed to upload. So, you're welcome.
I don't really have much to report about my life. I'm doing school. Elections are today. I can't vote. I made extra money last night. That's basically it.
Day 7- A song you wish was never made and want to DESTROY!!
It will rain ~ Bruno Mars
This song just bugs the crap out of me. I hate it. So so so so SO much. The end.
Also. Julia is one of the greatest people ever. We skyped today, and we planned many wonderful things we will do together eventually. After Elevation. It will be beautiful. And awkward for other people. Woot woot!
On to the pictures.

Georgi and I. In her car. After ONE of our adventures. ;)
This picture is not very good at depicting it. BUT. My hands are red. It's from dyeing a pair of pants red. So, my hands are red. A lot of people wondered why.
This was on Halloween. Aves is adorable.
Georgi and I. Don't we look hot? *cough*
This is just me...in a new shirt that I love, so I had to take a picture in it.
This picture makes me laugh so so much. Yes, he's wearing my shirt. Yes, I'm wearing his. It's just...yup. A long story.
I will now pay attention to class.

We be stunna
I was busy all weekend. I threw a surprise party for my sister, which took a lot of effort...so...I apologize that I didn't post. At all. Also, it's Monday. Ew.
Stop. song time. (I gotcha. You thought it was gonna be "Hammer time" or "in the name of love", didn't you?)
Day 3 - A song that makes you want to cry.
Long Live ~ Taylor Swift
For those who have heard this song, you might understand. This song reminds me of people in my past, and the people in my present, who I loved/love dearly. Certain people come to mind. Garrett, Casey, Jacob, Brooke, Helen, Rebekah, Layne. I will share my "tear jerking" line with you.
"Please promise me this. If you have children someday, when they point to the pictures, please tell them my name."
Nuff said.
Day 4 - A song you listen to when you're pissed.
Misery Business ~ Paramore
The name kinda says it all, no? When I'm pissed, the beat and the words really resonate with me and I feel powerful. Just cuz.
Day 5 - A song that would not be appropriate in church.
Heh. Heh. There are a lot of songs that wouldn't be appropriate in church...But I shall say...
E.T. ~ Katy Perry
This song was, strangely enough, stuck in my head all of Saturday. Or, part of a remix of this song.
Story time.
I went to my dads office with Georgi to blow up balloons for Autumn's surprise birthday. The first song that came on pandora was the remix of E.T. And at the party later, when handing out the cards for "Mafia", I would start singing the beat. (" DA NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU DAAA NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU!") It thoroughly annoyed a few girls, but everyone else thought it was hilarious.
End of story time.
Day 6 - The "Mother knows best" song from Tangled.
First, who DOESN'T love this movie? Please comment your address, so I can come hit you with a tack hammer.
I just love this song. It makes me laugh, and reminds me of when Helen and I were at Navajo Lake and we watched Tangled with everyone the last night.
So. Here's a picture for you.
Hot, right? I know. We be stunnas.
I can't explain this picture. So deal with it.
Also, I dyed those pants myself. Yup. I'm cool.

No longer subjected to toast
I like to think that I'm a funny person. I just do. Today, I was writing a response essay on the Book of Acts. And I was trying to come up with a title for my essay. And I thought some of them were kind a little funny. So tada. You get to see them.
Why fear the future?
Teachings of Christ: A new trend
Ancient Fear of Change
Change is hard...or is it?
Okay. So maybe they're not THAT funny.
Anyway. Thursday. You know what that means. However...I can not, for the life of me, remember a single awkward thing that happened this past week. Which is incredibly disappointing, I know. Not just for you, but for me as well. *sigh* Anyway. Moving on.
Day 2 - A song that always makes you happy.
Last Friday Night(TGIF) ~ Katy Perry
The reason I pick this song? There is a LOT of sentimental reason for this song. This is one of the MANY songs for Helen and I. BUT this was the first. And we blasted it multiple times. And it was fabulous. And I am full of nostalgia right now, so, to avoid crying, I will leave you at that.
Terder. Here's my picture.

Silly Willy ;)
This is something I've been meaning to talk about for basically forever. And by that, I mean for about two weeks.
Nicknames.
I love nicknames. I give most people I meet a nickname. It's what I do. And some people are baffled by it, or confused, and so I shall now share my thoughts with you.
Nicknames are a sign of affection(unless you call some a poop face regularly because you hate them. That's a different story tho). When someone calls you a pet name, it's because they care about you. It's true.
I was recently dubbed "Ella" by a friend. Get those confused looks off your faces. "Ella" is short for "Nutella". It makes sense, and it's cute. Every time he calls me Ella, I feel happy and fuzzy because I know he cares.
My sister is named Rachel. I call her Rachey. Same thing. These nicknames are signs of affection. I love nicknames. A whole lot.
Everyone in my phone(most everyone) has a nickname. Even tho I don't actually call them that, "Oh hey there, Platonic boom blast"(I just made that up...no one in my phone is named that...), it's because I care and because they're pretty great people and stuff. Here are some examples: (These are all taken straight from my phone book)
Alfredo Sauce
Appealing Attire
Boss
Brad Pitt Effect
Dill Pickle
Double D
Dream Disturber
Flipping Poop Woman
Future Roomie <3
Husband
Isssss Mario!!
Lizard
Major Homo
Monkey
Mop Head
Mrs. Captain America
Mucho Sexy Singer
My Spicy Friend
Sandwich Maker
Sariahhomeskilletwicekwispietweet
Sexy Banana Female Companion
She Works Out
Soulmate :)
Sparta
Tattoo Arms
Thejerkfacechocolatemonkeybutt
The Redneck
All of the above people are people that I care about. Like, for reals. And if I don't CARE about them, I definitely don't hate them. I could probably tell you who they all were. In fact, I will.
Out of order. None of these people actually correspond with the person in that order up there. ^^
Casey
Helen
Dallin
Tori
Julia
Austin
Dan
Dillon
Alex
Alyssa
Ashley
Diego
Abi
Rebekah
Brooke
Levi
Sariah
Georgi
Lizzie
Allister
Jess
Jacob
Layne
Nainoa
Kylar
Anela
Ian
See? I care, or have cared, about all these people.
Nicknames. They are a wonderful part of life. I love them. I love calling people shortened versions of their names(except Helen. Hell isn't a good nickname), or a cute nickname that just the two of us know. It makes them special. It makes our relationship special.
I love nicknames. So next time I call you Mental Terrorist, or Fat Lard, or Pregnant Woman (I dunno. I'm just throwin ideas out), don't be offended. Smile a little and call me something equally unique/strange. And I promise our friendship will be better. ;)
BONUS:
In the comments, if I named you, try guessing what your nickname is. And even if you know what your nickname is...guess anyway. Comments make me feel happy.
AND if you're feeling truly daring, guess other people.

I should stop falling asleep on the floor...
It's Thursday. And I'm posting. So, you all know what that means.
Expect a superb post tomorrow. Just fyi.
Okay. These moments are from the past month...ish. All the ones I can remember...yeah...let's see how this goes. But first, today/yesterday.
Yesterday: Sucked. Just kidding, yesterday was fabulous. I skyped with Ian, babysat my siblings, did a butt ton of homework ,and then Georgi came over and did my nails while we watched Monk. I know none of that is incredibly exciting or anything, but it was a really good day.
Today:...today...well....let's say it's not as good as yesterday. Yet. I dunno. I came home from seminary, and fell asleep on the floor while my sisters gave me a "back rub" which ended up in a butt rub, head rub, and leg rub. And I slept through the whole thing. I sleep through a lot of stuff...and then I've been glued to the screen, doing homework, all morning. I took a step away 10 minutes ago to check on the kids(Autumn and I are babysitting the kids for the duration of the week. She's on day duty, I get nights.) and guess what? It's a mess. Surprise surprise. I got just a intsy bit mad. Whatevs, I ran upstairs before I yelled too much. ;)
Okay. Here we go.
Awkward:
About a month ago, my family visited a small ward about 3 hours away from our home, just for the heck of it. After the meeting we went and looked at scenery and all that crap. ANYWAY. The church is tiny, with 20 members TOPS. Including us. Needless to say, it was tiny. If a baby were to cry, EVERYONE would know whose it was(there were no babies there). I was sitting between Madie and Autumn. During the sacrament prayer, Autumn shifted in her chair. And it sounded a whole heck of a lot like a fart. Come on guys. A fart at quiet times is one of the funniest things on the planet. We all made those weird sputtering breathing laughing noises. And then I'd be calm and Autumn would start laughing again. I was composed by the time the prayer was over, so maybe they thought Autumn was the only one who laughed? *crosses fingers* Either way, I felt HORRIBLE. I mean, that's sacred, and we totally messed it up. But it was funny...
Just a few weeks ago, I was in Young Women In Excellence. I was sitting between Jodi and Georgi. And in the middle of a talk, I think it was from the Bishop, Jodi gets a text message. Unlike most teenagers with non-iPhones that I know, Jodi does NOT have her phone on vibrate. Ever. And her text ringtone is a VERY LOUD recording of some guy(I think he's from 1 Direction...which would be why I don't know him) saying "NO! Jimmy protested.". So, in the middle of a tender moment, her phone EXPLODES with the sound of a british dude. We were trying sooo hard not to laugh. Which failed. Again, I felt horrible.
On the way home from seminary, sometime in the past few weeks, we were making faces at people (as usual) and we had someone almost hit the curb cuz they were looking at us. I think I'm a danger. Which leads me to the next awkward thing..
On my way home from the UPS store last week, I passed a man who was holding a sign. I think it was the fact that I was wearing Aviators (they're the proven to be the sexiest sunglasses ;) ), but he completely turned around as I passed, so he could keep looking at me. Which a stricken look on his face. And then he almost fell into the street. I didn't know whether this should fall under awkward or awesome...so it goes here. When in doubt, claim things are awkward! Yeah!
At a dance recently (that was very empty), Georgi and I were some of the only girls who weren't dancing. So, like freshmen, we started dancing. Like idiots. Like the whole spinning around in circles, and then pressing our cheeks against each other and stalking across the room (please tell me you know what I'm referring to...). Whilst doing this, I saw a guy (who was dressed as a ghostbuster...) come up to ask Georgi to dance. Like, to cut in. But, we were spinning. So we spun away quickly, and she had no idea. I felt kinda bad afterwards, but it was just...it was just awkward.
At aforementioned dance, my friend Georgi and I decided to show our bishop our screen savers. There will be a picture at the end of the post. It's basically of me catching a kiss she blew at me. And he gave us a strange look, and just as we were like, "Uh....nevermind", he started laughing. I have the best bishop.
I was babysitting over the weekend, and Georgi would come spend the night with me. On the first night, we stayed up until about 2 am talking and crap. And we also decided to chew a bunch of gum. And video tape it. And that video is the funniest thing ever. The link will be on this blog. Eventually.
Last week, Autumn and I attempted to do Yoga. Just as we were trying to do one that involved having our butts in the air, our father walked in. Talk about awkward...
I almost pants-ed (how the crap do you spell that??) someone. JUST KIDDING. Sort of.
I accidentally told multiple people that Obama came from the devils butt hole. (I texted this to Beka on purpose...but I accidentally spoke it out loud to everyone at my house at the time. And not everyone was related to me...)
My young womens leader had a meeting with the bishop, and I jokingly told her that she was going to be released. At church on Sunday, she was released...
I went to Mickey D's with Georgi. And I was in the process of trying to fit as many fries into my mouth at once, when I noticed a man outside the window, looking at me. I tried smiling. And then started laughing, and spit some out on accident.
On the same night, a creepy man sat behind us and kept laughing at things we did...it was creepy...
A few days later, the kids I was babysitting insisted I take them to McDonalds. And I had no idea how to order a Happy Meal...which I am oddly proud of. Yup.
Ian is really awkward. ;)
I know there were more awkward things, but I can't think of any at the moment.
Awesome:
I got a freaking 100/100 on my History Midterm last week. Allow me to scream and run around.
I went on one of the funnest dates ever, that ended up in a huge paint fight. It was so awesome.
I got some frickin awesome mugs and stuff from Layne.
I went to lunch with Abi. Woooohooo!
I mom surprised me with a trip to Sushi King a few weeks ago! It like, made my week.
I dyed a pair of pants. Like, they were dark denim, and now they are yellow. YELLOW, MY FRIENDS. I am the bomb.
I also watermarked a t shirt.
Rachel finally got the scarf I made her. And she said it was the most beautiful scarf she's ever worn, and it made my day.
Georgi has the freakin awesomest car in existence. I'm just sayin.
Yeah, I can't really think of anything else that's happened that's awesome...mostly my life is just awkward...
Hopefully I'll remember more stuff for next week. Maybe I'll write it down. ;)
Expect a superb post tomorrow. Just fyi.

See? Our phones are awesome. Except mine is tiny and a piece of crap. But whatevs.
This is what happens when I fall asleep on the floor...thanks to Autumn. Sorry bout the super awkward picture...and awkward angle...and just, yeah...
Today, I didn't feel like taking a picture of myself. So, instead, you get a picture of my sweatshirt. Which I love.
Applicable song lyric: "I don't even know if we're still friends. It's so confusing, understanding you."
See ya tomorrow, peeps.

And that's how it's done
Holy shoot.
I haven't posted in over a week. And I apologize. On top of that, I only have one picture for you. But hey, it sums up my last week pretty well. So it works. So, here's my week/excuse.
Wednesday: The picture at the bottom of the post is from Wednesday. I actually loaded it onto the computer and was going to write a post but I was exhausted from midterms, so I decided to put it off and wait til Thursday.
Thursday: Ha. Our computer was at the repair shop. My mom wanted to expand our hard drive. So I delivered it to the store at 9, and then we didn't see it until yesterday. To fill in my school-less day, I slept. For like, 4 extra hours. And then I watched a stupid movie on my iPod. And then I got crafty. I started making a shirt. Which, although it didn't turn out like the picture, wasn't as bad as I'd expected. I will show you sometime. Maybe.
Friday: I was in the process of bleaching a pair of pants, when I got a phone call from a sister in my ward, asking me to babysit over the weekend. Turns out, she and her hubby were in Texas, and their babysitter got super sick. And they couldn't get tickets home early. So, I packed up and headed over there. I spent all day chasing 4 children. That night, after the kids were in bed, Georgi came over to spend the night with me. We stayed up until 2 am ish. It was so much fun.
Saturday: I spent all day watching the kids, again. Around 6, I took all of the kids to MY house to celebrate two of my siblings birthdays. And then I left them with my little sister while I went to a dance. Which was one of the funnest dances I've been to in forever. Hallelujah, I needed a break. Georgi came over after the dance, again. We watched a horror movie called "The Last Exorcism". Or, about half of it. We kept falling asleep, so we turned it off and went to bed. And neither of us would get out of bed to turn the fan on, cuz demons would get us. It was pretty warm, until we fell asleep.
Sunday: HA! I had to get the children ready and TO church. I was pretty proud of myself, being a single parent over the weekend and all. And then I got paid. Woooot! I came home and passed out on the floor. When I did so, Autumn decided to spell things on my legs using Bananagram pieces. And she took pictures. I'll see if I can find those...anyway. I woke up in time to change for a meeting I had to go to.
Monday: I was so lazy and tired, it wasn't even funny. Monday is actually kinda a blur. I went to seminary, flirted with a cute boy, came home, did a little bit of school, at least, as much as I could without my computer. And then I don't remember much else, except I went on a run. asdfksmdf.
Tuesday: When I came home from seminary, I slept for 2 and a half hours. I don't usually do that. Usually 30 minutes works. I was exhausted. And then I spent ALL. DAY. working on a study guide. At about 3, my headache was so bad, I decided to take a "nap". At which point, my mother decided I was sick(I was), and sent Autumn to film for me(for my dad). And then I slept for 3 hours. At which point I was starving, but didn't want dinner. So I left the house and got sushi with Georgi. And then I laid on the couch as my headache and nausea got worse(no, I didn't throw up. No, it wasn't the sushi). I stayed up til 10, dreaming up futures with Jacob. And then I texted Rachel until about 11, while she told me she came into my room and watched me sleep and smelled me. Goodness, I miss that girl. Then, my mother came in and cleaned my room. Partially. But, it WAS her fault my room was a mess. She decided to sell my desk(which I never use) at the garage sale on Saturday. So, she took all of my crap and basically piled it around my room. So, she piled everything in different places, like on my shelf, so I could find it when I was feeling better so I could clean up a little. And then I passed out.
There are two things I've wanted to write about since last week. I will write about the second thing, because it falls under something I mentioned earlier.
The family I was babysitting had twins. Now, I've seen twins before. I'm not trying to make this seem like a major phenomenon. My best friends when I was 8 were twins. So, it's not that novel. But, these twins were 2. So it was before that whole "I hate you" going through puberty crap. It was a brother and sister, and they were the most adorable thing ever. And it made me think of a couple things.
First, it made me miss my sister. Rachel is one of my best friends, and since she's moved, it's been a little hard. And then it made me miss other friends of mine, mainly Helen.
Second, it made me wish I had a twin. A real, legitimate, blood twin.
Here's why: The companionship that these two had, it was amazing. They were always looking out for each other, they wanted to sit next to each other every meal, they couldn't go to bed unless they were both there, I mean...it was amazing. I mean, wouldn't that be awesome? To always have someone to stand up for you? Someone to always be there, always have a friend? I think that would be absolutely amazing.
In my head, this portion of the post was a lot longer. So I apologize.
Anyway. Picture!

We watched a horror movie called "The Last Exorcism". Or, about half of it. We kept falling asleep, so we turned it off and went to bed. And neither of us would get out of bed to turn the fan on, cuz demons would get us. It was pretty warm, until we fell asleep.
Sunday: HA! I had to get the children ready and TO church. I was pretty proud of myself, being a single parent over the weekend and all. And then I got paid. Woooot! I came home and passed out on the floor. When I did so, Autumn decided to spell things on my legs using Bananagram pieces. And she took pictures. I'll see if I can find those...anyway. I woke up in time to change for a meeting I had to go to.
Monday: I was so lazy and tired, it wasn't even funny. Monday is actually kinda a blur. I went to seminary, flirted with a cute boy, came home, did a little bit of school, at least, as much as I could without my computer. And then I don't remember much else, except I went on a run. asdfksmdf.
Tuesday: When I came home from seminary, I slept for 2 and a half hours. I don't usually do that. Usually 30 minutes works. I was exhausted. And then I spent ALL. DAY. working on a study guide. At about 3, my headache was so bad, I decided to take a "nap". At which point, my mother decided I was sick(I was), and sent Autumn to film for me(for my dad). And then I slept for 3 hours. At which point I was starving, but didn't want dinner. So I left the house and got sushi with Georgi. And then I laid on the couch as my headache and nausea got worse(no, I didn't throw up. No, it wasn't the sushi). I stayed up til 10, dreaming up futures with Jacob. And then I texted Rachel until about 11, while she told me she came into my room and watched me sleep and smelled me. Goodness, I miss that girl. Then, my mother came in and cleaned my room. Partially. But, it WAS her fault my room was a mess. She decided to sell my desk(which I never use) at the garage sale on Saturday. So, she took all of my crap and basically piled it around my room. So, she piled everything in different places, like on my shelf, so I could find it when I was feeling better so I could clean up a little. And then I passed out.
There are two things I've wanted to write about since last week. I will write about the second thing, because it falls under something I mentioned earlier.
The family I was babysitting had twins. Now, I've seen twins before. I'm not trying to make this seem like a major phenomenon. My best friends when I was 8 were twins. So, it's not that novel. But, these twins were 2. So it was before that whole "I hate you" going through puberty crap. It was a brother and sister, and they were the most adorable thing ever. And it made me think of a couple things.
First, it made me miss my sister. Rachel is one of my best friends, and since she's moved, it's been a little hard. And then it made me miss other friends of mine, mainly Helen.
Second, it made me wish I had a twin. A real, legitimate, blood twin.
Here's why: The companionship that these two had, it was amazing. They were always looking out for each other, they wanted to sit next to each other every meal, they couldn't go to bed unless they were both there, I mean...it was amazing. I mean, wouldn't that be awesome? To always have someone to stand up for you? Someone to always be there, always have a friend? I think that would be absolutely amazing.
In my head, this portion of the post was a lot longer. So I apologize.
Anyway. Picture!
This was right after I finished midterms on Wednesday,
The end.
