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. 

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.

*singing* Wheeeennn I'm discouurraaaaged... ;)

I like blog challenges. So shoot me. It's not my fault. They're interesting. AND it gives me a reason to post when I don't have any mind changing epiphanies. ;)

So. My picture thing has SOMEWHAT failed. No, I'm not gonna stop. Cuz I still post about once a week! Woohoo! I always post a song lyric at the end of it. So, I'm going to add an actual song challenge. I stole this one from Beka. She basically TOLD me to do it. Not really. But whatevs. So. Everyday, you'll get the song with the reasons and all of that. Why I chose it, basically. Maybe some lyrics. And you'll get the pictures still. Like, when you actually get it. SO. Here's the challenge:

Okay. The end. I'll post tomorrow. 

Oh, and happy Halloween.

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. 

Expecto Patronum!

Hi all.

Holy crap, it's been a long day. I took a MUCH needed nap this morning. And I learned almost nothing in class today(don't tell Mr. Rees...) because I was so exhausted. This afternoon was somewhat more productive tho...thank goodness.

And then I took pictures. And I love taking pictures, in case NONE of you had gathered that in the past year and half that we've been acquainted(or longer. That's just how long this baby's been up).I did couple pictures for one of my close friends and her boyfriend. And they are A-Dor-A-Ble. I do not say this lightly. As I was going through the pictures when I got home, I just kept giggling. They're so cute.

Anyway, right before we left, we got this picture. He is holding an actual wand, not a stick, okay? It was getting real dark and we weren't planning on taking these pictures, but I saw my wand in my purse and I insisted, mostly because this tree looks like the Whomping Willow(if you don't know what that is, go die). They were so enthusiastic. I love this one. So, enjoy.

In the next few days, I'll have the rest of their pictures up on my photography blog. You should check them out. Cuz they're freaking adorable.

Now. As you're aware, it's THURSDAY. Allow me to go get my awkward notes from the past few days.

I have returned.

Awkward:

So, I have this app on my iPod that alters your voice to make it sound funny. And we sometimes like to plug it into my stereo, say obnoxious things, and blast it. Yesterday, Autumn had made farting noises into it, and it was on a deep voice setting. We pull up to the gate JUST as it starts playing. LOUDLY. And the guy in the lane next to us had his window down. And he gave us a really funny look. As it sounds like we're farting our butts off.

I made these wands(As you can see from the picture). And I was driving around in my car, and i was pretending to pick my nose with one(don't ask), and I went over a bump and almost jabbed it up my nose. My siblings couldn't stop laughing.

For mutual, we took sobriety tests for fun. And I failed.

Awkward quotes:

*at a church dance*
Guy: I'm just gonna tell you something now.
Me: Okay...
Guy: I hate it when girls stop texting me for no reason at all.
Me: Okay...*thinking "what the crap?!"*
Guy: That girl over there *points* she did that. And I hate her.

Awesome:

I MADE WANDS. WHAT NOW, PUNKS?!?

I put at least 5 people under the Impurius curse. What now.

I took a nap. That's pretty awesome.

I skyped with Beka, Helen, and Diego. At the same time. And we exchanged dreams. And it made my day.

Awesome quotes:

Seminary teacher: Aurora, if you were on a game show, who would you have introduce you?
Me: *instantly* Josh Hutcherson. Bam.
seminary teacher: Okay, Adam, who would you choose?
Adam: I'd choose God.
Me: ...now I feel great...
Jodie: They're sorta the same.
(I realize that is somewhat sacrilegious. So, sue me. It was funny.)

Jodi: *points wand at me* Crucio!
Me: *points wand at her* Stupefy!
Christian: *hits Jodi over the head with a hymn book* Cuncussion-o!

Me: *points wand* Stupefy!
Jodi: That doesn't really work...I can't get much stupider.



Okay. I'm exhausted, and I'm going to bed now.

Dear Friend...

So, everyone has challenging times in their lives. Everyone. It's just part of life. In the past few months, I've needed a lot of support from my friends. And in the past few weeks, I've been able to repay some of my friends through supporting them.
Now, I can never repay my friends back. Never ever. They've been there for me in ways that I can't be there for them. And that's ok.
This is a little....thing, that I put together in tribute to my friends. Certain friends. Now, yes, I stole this idea from my friend, Helen. She mushes a bunch of song lyrics together to make letters to her boyfriend, and I decided to do this, only for my friends.

Kudos if you can name every song it's from.

Dear Friend,

Friday night beneath the stars, in a field behind your yard, you and I are painting pictures in the sky. You’ve got a million ways to make me laugh. You’re lookin’ out for me, you’ve got my back, so good to have you around.

 If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can’t see, I’ll be the light to guide you. When you’re down and troubled and need a helping hand, and nothing, no nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me and soon I’ll be there to brighten up even your darkest nights. You can run into my arms. It’s okay, don’t be alarmed, come into me. Call me, if you need a friend.

You’re a true friend. You’re here til the end. You’ve stood by me, I’m happy at home with you. You’re my best friend. When I lose the will to win, I just reach for you and I can reach the sky again. I can do anything cuz your love is so amazing, cuz your love inspires me. I know when I need it I can count on you like 4, 3, 2, and you’ll be there, cuz that’s what friends are supposed to do.

When I’m with anybody else, it’s so hard to be myself. Only you can tell. That I’m only up when you’re not down, don’t wanna fly if you’re still on the ground. Hey, ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend? People can be so cold. Now that it’s raining more than ever, know that we still have each other. For the arms to be my shelter through all the rain, for truth that will never change for someone to lean on.

You can count on me, cuz I can count on you.

Love, Aurora

Off da wall

So I've mentioned my uberly cool friend Helen, right? Well, she is doing a challenge on her blog, and so are two of my other friends, Sabrina and Rebekah. So we made a joint blog where we're all posting our challenges. And so after my 31 days are up, I'll probably start another challenge of some sort. :) Anywho. If you care about the challenge, go here. You won't regret it. :) Prooomissee. You should also click "follow" while you're there. ;)

Don't worry. I'll still post here, but I won't be posting my challenge here. I'm going to be posting just random life stuff, my awkward thursdays(I forgot this past week...oops.), and anything else that tickles my fancy.

Happy Sunday, blog-stalkers! :)

Photo Challenge: Day 7

Day 7: My favorite something

This is *one* of my favorite ways to spend the time that I'm supposed to be doing homework. I mean, I have lots of favorites. This girl is also one of my favorites. I love her. :) She makes me happy.

So, yes. In the middle of my homework, I decided to Skype with the lovely Rebekah. :)

Song Lyric of the day: "You can count on me, like 1,2,3, and I'll be there."
