sometimes we're all silly
I find this whole this hilarious. Arguing is gay, but arguing digitally is even more gay. haha. I guess we all do it sometime, though I must say this is my first. I am ashamed. But not really, it was funny.
over and out

I want to change the world...instead i sleep.
I haven't felt like blogging for a while. Yeah. I know it's only been like a week. I'm one of those people.
Inception=fart machine. Inception used to equal raunchy strip tease but now it equals fart machine. My brother brought his to the movies when we went over Thanksgiving vacation. It was the silent part right after the commercials and before the show when everyone anticipation is running high when suddenly in the chair right ahead of us holding the male counterpart of a couple lets out this hUUGgge farting sound. Immediately my family starts laughing. The girl counterpart goes, "Was that YOU!?" to the male counterpart and starts laughing which then causes my mom to laugh so hard she starts to cry. It was brilliant.
We went four wheeling up at Fish Lake in feet of snow. It whas funnn. I found a perfect tree for our apartment, well...actually Kevin found the tree. I just approved. Michelle and I snuggly snugged at G-ma's and found a bunch of boxes in the closet of our room. There were black and white pictures, letters from my great great grandma, teeth, rattle snake rattles...yeah those last two jumped out at us, gross. It was so cool to all that really old stuff. I'm glad I can actually appreciate it now too.
I've been seeing many attractive mustaches around campus lately. Today I realized that it was no-shave november or movember this past month. Sad that most of the boys will shave them away now. I was so excited that so many boys were looking so pretty. That happened to me another time when BYU had an "ugly sweater" day around campus. I was seeing so many lovely sweaters and thinking, "Yes. Go byu for being so awesome." Then I found out about the day and was crushed. Sad it has to end.
I like snow. I like having a warm body when my face is about to fall off from cold. Last night we went to see Savior of the World. It was interesting. Supposedly the second half was real good. Amber and I were bad people and left at intermission though, so I don't really know. We walked around temple square then went to the tippy top of the Joseph Smith Memorial building. The view of Temple Square is beautiful there. We talked happy talk then played in the elevators. Seriously. If you haven't ever ridden in one of those elevators. Do it. They're so fast. When you jump you almost hit the ceiling. But make sure someone doesn't unexpectedly stop the elevator at a level you weren't expecting or else you'll go crashing to the floor, end up in a heap, and surprise the people that opened the elevator door at the unexpected floor. Ryan and Ally decided to be kind souls and come pick us up at the JS Memorial building so we didn't have to walk, they stayed which makes them good souls as well. We entertained ourselves by reading the candles they had with the word Joy on it in different languages. Surprise! Amber and I speak over twelve languages, as we proved to the very amused janitor mopping the floor. I love the holidays. I love not being in school. I love lovely people.
Ally and I are learning songs. Guitar and Ukulele songs. I'm going to learn the banjo over Christmas break. cool.

"life is a series of images that change as they repeat themselves"
I'm working on "Shakespeare stinky stinky", as my paper is saved in my computer. Yeahhh, then only one more day of work then ally-amber-joni day a.k.a watch movies all day in bed cuddling then it's turkey day! with christmas tree cutting, snowmobiling, late night chatting, and of course, eating until you want to throw up. With plenty of homework on the side of course.
Melancholy happiness. We watched Heima tonight. How I adore Sigur Ros.
Someone actually made an intellegent comment on Youtube. Thus is goes,
"This song is about everything and anything you can imagine. It caan be memories, can be hope, can be love or even hate. What distinguishes this group with anothers is that these guys try to create a unique sound, where the lyrcis have no meaning whatsoever. You need to create your own meaning, you know because this musicians don't tell you how to feel, like many other musicians do..they just create the armony and it's your job to create significance."
I love that, "you need to create your own meaning". That is life. It is handed you the way it is and you make it what you will. This song reminds me of my senior year in high school, Advanced Theatre mostly. There I became aware of my life, I woke up, I learned to honestly want to create meaning in my life. But I wouldn't go back because I've learned so much, experienced so much, and changed so much since.
Over and over I thank God for those people that he has put in my life. When I look at my life, I see those around me. The people that were there in my life at a certain time were placed there to teach me something. Each group of people I passed through was tailor made to fit my needs at the time. When I examine who I am, I see the goodness and hate of people past and present in the mirror.
You know how hurts, risks, joy, love, and a thousand other emotional experiences stay with you? Well Advanced Theatre was the first of those experiences that made ground, that really pushed me into wanting more from life. I think that's why I'm feeling this melancholy happiness as I reflect on what I've done since that experience.
Life is this great expanse of time that goes by in an instant. I find myself looking only at the moment when I should be looking behind and forward as well. Only then will I accept myself for who I am, embrace what I'm not and move forward without having to qualify everything I do and say to myself.
