"Can I keep you?"

When I was about 10 or 11-years-old, back when I shared a bedroom with my little sister Meridith, I had this poster on my wall:

Oh how I luh-oved that kid. I *cough* may have convinced the little girl I babysat often that she wanted to watch Little Giants every single time  ("Sure, we could play games or play outside or something else boring... but wouldn't you rather I make you a treat and we watch this awesome movie again??"  I've been manipulative from a young age.)


When I was 14, 15 or so I started to forget about him. Oh yeah, remember that Devon guy that I was pretty much obsessed with? Haha. Funny.

A few weeks ago my sister borrowed my DVD of Casper and I found it in the kitchen. I popped it in the computer while I worked on other things, half-listening to the dialogue. But then it got to the end of the movie. I had to stop what I was working on. I had to make it full screen. I had to PAY ATTENTION.

You see, this is where Casper the Friendly Ghost changes form for a few minutes, into the young blond boy he'd been while alive. Played by? Oh, hello, Devon!

The memories of how much I enjoyed this kid came flooding back. The brain space I'd dedicated to him was apparently still intact, as suddenly little facts like "He has two hamsters, named Pepsi and Coke" came rushing to the forefront of my mind. Whoa.

I jumped on Twitter to mock myself publicly. But first I quickly typed his name into the search field, to see if anyone else had had the same nostalgia I did. I was surprised that he was discussed often! And had a twitter handle of his own.
I usually do not follow many celebrities on Twitter. They are usually run by their people, and are boring. Or if they're run by the actual person themselves they are sometimes misspelled drivel that only gets updated every few months. So I was hesitant to follow him. But I clicked it anyway.

I was surprised to find his tweets funny and spelled correctly, haha. After a couple of weeks of having Devon in my feed everyday I found myself wanting to watch his movies again, remembering more tidbit facts that I'd memorized 15 years ago.

So I wrote this, and got this response a few minutes later:

I hadn't included his @handle with the intention of him reading it, it was so my friends could click through and see who in the heck I was talking about. But read it he did. And retweeted it to his just-under-2,000 followers just 3 minutes later. Then replied directly to me. And then the 13-year-old in me freaked out and died a little. In a good way.

family history

Today's Sunday School lesson was on family history...


And now it's quarter to 5 a.m. and I have to be up in 2 hours, but I've spent all night trying to find stories about my ancestors.


My Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmother is Susannah Young, older sister of Brigham Young (of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.)

A few minutes ago I found this quote and I like it:

Brigham Young said of his sister, Susannah, that “she had suffered much, had been through many hardships and trials and with all this had stayed faithful and true to her family and church. She has left her descendants a great legacy, a heritage of faith, courage and endurance in adversity. We are indebted to her for that and for her life. She was truly a pioneer.”

 (image: Susannah Young's brothers -- Lorenzo Dow Young, Brigham Young, Phineas Howe Young, Joseph Young and John Young)

So logically... if she weighs the same as a duck...she's made of wood?

[originally written near the end of August...but finally getting around to publishing it]



Float |flōt| verb
1 Rest or move on or near the surface of a liquid without sinking : "she relaxed, floating gently in the water.
2 [with adverbial of direction ] move or hover slowly and lightly in a liquid or the air; drift : "clouds floated across a brilliant blue sky"

Float is such a nice, lovely word. Nothing about "float" brings stressful thoughts. Balloons float. Boats made of folded newspaper float. Ducks float. (as do witches, bread, apples, very small rocks, cider, gravy, cherries, mud, churches, lead. So logically, if she weighs the same as a duck...she's made of wood.)

---

It'll be simple. "You sit on this tube and float down the river for an hour, until we reach the park." Ok! Sounds easy enough!


Because you were told repeatedly this was going to be a pleasant ride float, you are decked out in a swimsuit, sundress, sunglasses, and flip flops. You brought along a life-vest only out of adherence to city rules.

By the way, the moment you step into the frigid water you will realize what a bad idea this was. And as you contort your body into the small hole of the tube you hear a strange sound--that is your own body hyperventilating.


Your tube will flip over not once, but THREE TIMES, submerging you into the icy fast-moving liquid. With fishy-water-filled lungs, you are dragged across sharp rocks and are only able to regain your placement on the tube when a guy in your group, who happens to be a firefighter and takes it upon himself to save everyone in turmoil, holds your flip flops, your wrist, and your tube steady.

Your tube will find its way into the strange no-movement parts of the river where you will spin in place, unable, regardless of any limb flailing in the water, to move back into the current. You will have no choice but to stand on the sharp rocks, walk to a different part of the river, and attempt to get back into the tube sans firefighter man holding your quickly-floating-away tube.

You will also smack into SEVEN trees, having the innate ability to be in the very middle of the river until you see a tree hanging over one of the banks, and suddenly find yourself aiming straight for it.

You will return freezing, exhausted, scraped up, bruised, and starving.

my leg on the morning after, before all of the bruises appeared ...I should've lifted up my leg for the picture, rather than making my calf appear the size of my above-the-knee. Nice.

But hey, you were social! ALL AFTERNOON!

Bonneville Salt Flats, October 2009

whoa oh oh

I can't really say I miss being at school until 10 p.m. almost every night, nor leaving my house at 7:15 so I could get to school on time and not get kicked out for tardiness...

But sometimes I miss being at school for my awesome, awesome instructors:




My former instructors: Olivia, Chris, Mark, and Miss Willie (and an instructor I don't know) rocking out their best Beyonce.

Dang. I had some complete cracksmokers for instructors, but I absolutely enjoy these guys.

laughing and a running, hey, hey, skipping and a jumping

in the misty morning fog with our hearts a'thumpin and you, my brown-eyed green/amber/brownish-eyed girl


When I was little my identity was based on two things: blonde hair and brown eyes. Whenever my sisters and I were given babydolls they matched us. Deborah had the brown hair and the green eyes. I had the blonde hair and the brown eyes. Meridith's dolls were bald and had blue eyes.




Everything I knew was based on me being the brown-eyed with the fair skin and the light hair.

That was when I was short, skinny, and blonde...and then I got older, hahaha

I've been in denial for years, but I've recently started LOVING my eyecolor. It is not green...but its not brown...its, uh, cool.



The colors are more interesting when the picture is clicked and made bigger.

You can not see that.

An FB friend had posted a new picture so I clicked it to get a better look. A few minutes later this warning popped up over the picture, and I nearly fell off my chair from laughing:

Made a deal not to feel

I was talking to a friend recently about his lack of participation in the online world. He told me blogs are so narcissistic that he is sickened by them. Dramatic much?

After finally remembering the correct username/password combination into Rachael's blog, I finally caught up on the last six months of her posts. As I closed the window I felt the same way I feel when I leave a movie--like I've been transported temporarily into another world...given a temporary view into another life. I love that feeling.
(Although sometimes it leaves me convinced I'm a secret agent and I do things like check behind doors when I enter a room. [ok, ok, I'm not Jason Bourne, I get it.])

I've been in a bad mood recently. Not really a bad mood, just sort of a funk. I needed something...I decided I needed a break from me. I took myself to see Julie & Julia and left the theater completely refreshed. (However it left me with a longing to go back to France, to learn to cook, and to write more often!) (Can I just say that I loved that they had Julia Child in heels the entire movie regardless of her 6'2" stature? [yeah, i know Meryl Streep is only 5'6", blah blah])

So I appreciate all those who take the time to post regardless of how selfish/narcissistic their own reasons. I enjoy the break from my own life I get to have when I step temporarily into someone else's summer vacation, job promotion, hot date, boring work day.

something is not the same

Today I found the last box of clothing. There is nothing all that important in there: some Tshirts, pajama pants, the way too low-cut shirt that I've only gotten away with wearing twice (once to a gay bar in downtown Vegas, the other the night I saw Brad Pitt in person.)

And yet I somehow feel more complete.

Little by little my world is coming back together.

Thanks to @artificialgrape I can now get online in my bedroom. So its starting to set in that I really do live here again. Weird.
6:04 PM Mar 25th

Watching Sarah painstakingly edit a label with InDesign on a gorgeous MacBook Pro. She's amazing. Ive asked her to design my business cards.
7:54 PM Mar 25th

This morning I watched a crossing guard stop traffic so SHE could cross. No children in sight. Blatant misuse of power! Revoke the vest!
2:04 PM Mar 26th

Passing East High. High School Musical is filmed in Salt Lake and set in New Mexico. "Well there is a black guy in the main cast" haha

Amy- "I have a confession: I stalked you yesterday. I drove by to see if your car was there." Hahaha! I love that my friends stalk me.
4:38 PM Mar 27th

Confession: When my father forgets to sign out of Facebook I look through the profiles of all of the LDS "celebs" he's buddies with.
1:59 AM Mar 28th

Clothes shopping with my mom. But because I'm 5'10 and stacked (and under the age of 65) there is NOTHING! ...but there a few stillettos ;)
1:02 PM Mar 28th

She is suggesting a Ladies Big & Tall! SHOOT ME NOW! No one should have to succumb to that, regardless of height or hips!

Went to Sandy. Torrid has once again saved me from embroidery and appliques, HALLELUJAH!
3:36 PM Mar 28th

Dancing like a princess with Alexa and Sophia. Apparently princess just slowly spin in circles.
5:02 PM Mar 28th

No. No, no no. Its bad enough to have to attend a singles ward, but when your parents have callings there, too?! I'm moving back to NV.
1:14 PM Mar 29th

Can't shake a bratty mood today. Today is infuriating.
2:07 PM Mar 29th

IT WOULD BE NICE IF SOMEONE TOLD ME WE CHANGED LOCATIONS SO I DON'T WANDER AROUND WITH AN IDIOTIC CONFUSED LOOK! GRRR! TODAY SUCKS!

Apparently the only thing to help the funk is making fruit pizza with 4 of my nieces. ("Rage...subsiding. Pulse...slowing. Anger...fading")
9:30 PM Mar 29th

Prancing around the kitchen singing I'M TAKING STEROIDS! while puffing on my inhaler before jumping onto the treadmill. ...I'm an odd duck.
11:10 PM Mar 29th

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas everwhere you go... Its a hot chocolate day, but instead I'm making malt shakes with 4y.o. Ella
10:39 AM Mar 30th

The 4y.o. is cheating at Connect 4. "Lets not make it fair, Aunt Susannah." She can't handle black kicking her wussy reds trash!
11:19 AM Mar 30th

Time to make The Honeyman try Sam Hawk. Do I really want to hear the picky eater whine? Bibbidybobbidyboo and bulgogi!

Sus- "I only got 45 minutes of sleep, I'm really tired." Dad- "Were you up for a while after coming in?" Sus- "Yeah. Thats how that works."
9:25 AM Mar 31st

Decided to spend my lunch waiting for Ryan to do things at UVU. WORE HEELS. lack of sleep is clouding my judgement.
3:10 PM Mar 31st

At the Gateway with Amy. Wore heels because I'm an idiot. Grabbed flats to change into because I'm a genius.
7:39 PM Mar 31st



Aw, and I thought I wouldnt have strange men talking to me as I put gas in my car when I moved back here. Thanks random dude in Sandy!
9:37 PM Mar 31st

For the low low price of only 39.99!

Because I've missed updating for several months I wasn't sure the right way to go about filling in the holes. While talking to my sister I decided the easiest way was to compile my twitter updates and work my way from there.


The Big Move:














I have drinks, junk food, all 3 iPods charged, and new playlists. Roadtrip!
4:57 PM Mar 23rd

Left my purse in Mesquite, NV -- thank heavens my sister was already planning on making the trip to St George tonight. I'm a disaster.
7:40 PM Mar 23rd

The new roadtrip playlist includes Aerosmiths Big Ones and Michael Jacksons Dangerous--both enjoyed at a high volume, as they should be.
9:55 PM Mar 23rd

Roadtrip Day 2: We're not in Vegas anymore, Toto. There is caffeine-free Diet Pepsi at the fountain...this is so very Utah, hahaha!
9:23 AM Mar 24th

Passing exit 188--the spot of my spin out and head-on collision last year. Ugh. I could've been killed so easily if the SUV hadn't slowed down
11:35 AM Mar 24th

When I win the lottery I'm moving to the Levan, Utah trailerpark. When friends visit we'll double the population.
12:18 PM Mar 24th

Why hello, Orem. I'M BACK! Have you missed me? (I'm just with you until something better comes along.)
1:13 PM Mar 24th

What the?

guess the body part


Hahahaha
While going through some pictures taken tonight I noticed this. HOLY CRAP. It looks like the flesh of an orange!...but pink

I have got to do something about that.
