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...


Tuesday, November 13, 2012

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!



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.


A higher law: No longer subjected to toast

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.
