A few more days... trying to get this stupid challenge done while not overloading you...

Something that means a lot to me. :)
MY FAMWEEEE. I know this isn't my whole family (once again pictures right now are limited...do you know how many million pictures i have?!) but it is my mommy. and she means a lot to me too. :) My family is seriously the best. Be jealous. They're so great.

Also, something else that means a lot to me is my other families. My families that have adopted me while I am so far away from my real family. These families are the Mathesons and the Holloways. I love them both so much and am thankful for all they do for me... inviting me into their homes and being there for me when I need them. They're the best!!

NEXT DAY.
What's in my purse?
* Random Crap
* Reciepts/shopping lists/etc.
* Ninja turtle wallet
* BURT'S BEES
* Keys
* Sunglasses

It's My Life... it's now or never!! I ain't gonna live forever... but I am gonna live while I'm alive. It's My Life... (and if you like the glee version) ...and these are my confessions...

OH my goodness. I had a WONDERFUL day yesterday. At first it was BOOORING because my roommates both disappeared and I was home alone... and I had to write a paper. BLECH! ...But then I finished that and they still weren't home so I was sad. And lonely. :( So then I went to Kneader's for a club sammich because I was hungry. And a bit mopey because it was Saturday... DAY BEFORE HALLOWEEN SATURDAY... and I had NOOOO plans! So anyway, I ate my sammich and it was GOOOOOD. Kneaders has the BEST club sammiches EVER. So then I went back home and finished my essay. Then I went out in the rain to go get the mail in hopes that my netflix dvds had arrived. They had. So I watched Harry Potter. (I have been ordering them all in order... because I realized I never saw the last one... so I had to watch it before I can see the new one). And that took a great deal of time.
After my movie was over, It was about seven. Still no set plans. And no word from the roommates. Then I remembered about the Holloways annual Halloween party and that they had invited me! So I got ready to go. Threw on some make up (should have thrown on my costume. but didn't.) and headed out the door. I was super empty on gas though so I had to stop by the gas station first. But anyway, I went to the party and was greeted by hugs from the whole Holloway family... including the cardboard cut out of Dallon. :) It was very much needed and appreciated. :) I spent the rest of the night hanging out with them. It was sooo great to see them all!!

Dallon (Zorro) and Me. :)
Seriously, the Holloway family is the best. I'm so lucky to have the chance to know them. They're great people. The party was a blast, even though I didn't really know anyone there most of the night. Eventually Nicole and Nate came so it was good to see them. :) It was a very great way to spend my Saturday. :)

As for today, I just got off the phone with the beautiful Katie Matheson. I love her. A lot. We had a good life chat. Something I think we both needed. We talked about life, Letters (I'm sooo jealous that hers smelled like Dallon's cologne!), plans, boys, and everything in between. It was seriously needed. I know this school year has been rough for both of us, so it's good that we can still be there for each other even though we are far apart! LOVE YOU KATIEEEEEE!!!! <3 Three Musketeers for Life <3 (For those of you who don't know... that includes Dallon... obviously).

Ciao! Aloha! Adios! See ya!

Today, Tomorrow, and The Next. and then some random babble about my life...

I'm so tired of this blog thing. I should have read how stupid these all were before I committed to it. Blech. But anyway... here we go.

Day Whatever. Something that makes your face look like this: :D!!!! or :) or 8D (which is my personal favorite)


Stupid memories of stupid things. And technical theatre. And theatre in general. :)


These girls right here. (sorry you're only in part of the picture katie... my pics are still being uploaded onto this computer so I don't have a lot to choose from.) They make me so ridiculously happy you can't even imagine it.


Peter Pan. You may say I'm stuck in the past... but Pan was one of the most fun experiences of my life thus far. And it helped me make some of my bestest friends. And I don't just love my time in Pan itself. I love the story. The message. Everything. :) Tootles. (even the crazy version of old Tootles in Hook! Or maybe I should say especially that Tootles.)


And last, but definitely not least, these people right here. Without them I would not be who or where I am today. I never would have survived my first year of college... or my second... without them. I love them so ridiculously much. And it makes me happy to see who they are becoming (even though we can't hang out every day) and to see them make good choices (like Nate and Dallon serving missions).


Day... whatever again. A letter to someone who has hurt you recently.

Yo. Stop being a BRAT FACE and GET OVER YOURSELF. Just some words of advice.

That's it.


And the day after that.
1. FACT. I'm obsessed with Peter Pan. :)
2. FACT. I act really confident but inside I'm really just a girl who thinks she's fat, not usually good enough, is not very confident, and is actually really lonely.
3. FACT. I've never said fact number two to anyone before.
4. FACT. I really hate being here (except for school) and I sometimes wonder if I made the wrong choice by coming here.
5. FACT. I very rarely say what's actually on my mind and I tell you what you want to hear instead of what I really think.
6. FACT. I'm not a very open person and don't feel like there is anyone I can tell everything to... not even my closest friends, even though sometimes I want to.
7. FACT. I am really struggling with the fact that I'm actually putting all this stuff on here (closed person, remember) and really wouldn't be surprised if this post just... disappeared... after a few days.
8. FACT. I am terrified of seagulls... and most other birds... and it does not stem from watching the movie "The Birds."
9. FACT. I LOOOOVE Culinary School... except for baking.
10. FACT. I am really easily annoyed by stupid things... like people who don't change the toilet paper roll, use "like," "totally," or "dude" too often, or who can dish it but can't take it.
11. FACT. I really hate that I am annoyed by stupid things. It makes me feel like a bad person.
12. FACT. I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE it when people say rude things about fat people or gay people. And I don't hate that I get annoyed by that and don't consider it a stupid thing.
13. FACT. I love making fresh pasta. To me, it is probably one of the most rewarding things. It may take all day, but I feel really accomplished when I'm done... and it's a great stress reliever.
14. FACT. I really wish I was artistic. At all.
15. FACT. I really miss Katie Matheson, Courtney Cook, Katie Martin, Abi Griffiths, Steven Conway, Dallon Holloway, Justin Cummings, Nate Burton, and all my other friends that I never get to see anymore. :( A LOT. You guys are the best.



And now... about my life...
Yesterday. I carved a pumpkin. It looks AWFUL. I'm pretty sure Courtney Cook only knew what it was because she just knows I'm obsessed with Peter Pan. Yeah. That's what it was supposed to be. It was an epic epic epic fail.
I made a Rufio costume. I think it's pretty cool. Now I just need a chance to wear it. I have absolutely NO PLANS this Halloween. None Today. None Yesterday. None Tomorrow. Nothing. I miss actually having friends. I just feel like I'm doing nothing with my life and going nowhere right now. Yes, I know I am in school... but other than that... I do nothing. I sit at home and watch movies all day. I don't hang out with anyone. I don't have friends. Nothing. I feel like I'm wasting away here and don't know what to do about it. By this time last year... I had made great friends. ...Even in less time. And now... I don't know what to do. I miss having people and friends in my life.
Sorry about that little rant... I'm just lonely. Blah.

Today, Tomorrow, and Yesterday

Hi. I, like everyone else, am getting kind of tired of this whole blog challenge thing. Obviously, NO ONE CARES what's inside my purse. Unless it's the fingers of all the people you've murdered or something exciting like that, I really don't care what's inside yours either. So I'm doing Today, Tomorrow, and Yesterday all at the same time. So... Things I crave a lot:
1. Mongolian Grill/Good Chinese Takeout.
2. HUGS. I LOOOOOVE Hugs. :)
3. Kneader's Club Sammich. SO GOOD.
4. People. I crave being around people.
5. Attention. Obviously. That's a given.


So I just got a new computer and I'm in the process of transferring all my pictures and documents... so I only have a few pictures right now. So this is the only picture of my face that I have access to at the moment. :)

If you want to know the reason behind my blog name... go read my first post. And/or go look up the big words that you don't know and you can figure it out. :)

Now on to things about my actual life. Today, I didn't go to school. No, I did not skip it. I just happen to have Thursdays off. WOOHOO. So today, I cleaned my room (it was messy after my adventure making my Halloween costume. You should see it. It's super awesome. I made it myself and everything. And it only cost me like 10 bucks! Woo! And I got sweet red tights out of the deal. YESS. But I'll tell you more about that in a later post. With pictures and everything.) I was being so domestic... both for cleaning and for making my own costume. Go me.
After that I vacuumed the apartment and did the dishes. Then I took Max, my roommate's dog, on a walk around the complex. It was nice. :)
Then, the HIGHLIGHT of my day...

I GOT A LETTER FROM DALLON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those of you who don't know, he's one of my best friends and he's on his mission right now. I love getting letters from him. :) It makes me insanely happy. For those of you who are curious, he's doing well. He is doing well with Spanish and is amazed at the fact that he can understand and talk to people in a different language. He got a copy of the chronicles of narnia in spanish and is enjoying reading that in his down time. And he gives a SHOUT OUT to the Hallway Kids! You know who you are. <33

Well, I'm off to write a letter, watch hook, go to the grocery store, and finish my homework. Later y'all!

Mi Familia

I have the BEST family in the world. That's right... they're better than yours! We are kind of weird and I apparently look adopted according to Courtney... but we're family. I love them... even my brother (who sometimes even reads this blog so maybe he will actually see that)

This is me and my hermano in Hawaii.


This is me with my parents in a little place I like to call Italia. They're so great for taking me there. :) Next stop Kenya, right?


Secretly, my mama and I are actually a lot a like... Crazy.


And everyone knows I got some more crazy from my daddy. :)


And... even though I struggle saying it A LOT... My bro and I are even kinda similar sometimes...

I couldn't find a pic on my computer of my family all together. (Though I know quite a few exist... I just don't have access to them at this current point in time.)

Celeb Crush..

If any of you know me AT ALL... you should already know this....



That's Right. The One. The Only. James Roday!


Well now that that's out in the open, I wanna tell you about something else. :)
Today for my purchasing class, we went to a couple of Asian markets to see all the unusual items they carry. Well, a girl named Julia is in my class, and she has the best connections. She always knows someone who either knows someone or has been to all these different cute little restaurants. So we ended up going after class to Hang Phat, a Vietnamese market. We got some Bahn Mi Sammiches. AND THEY WERE SOOOO GOOD.
If any of you watched "Great American Food Truck Race" (which I kind of doubt you did.. but whatever) then you know they had the Vietnamese truck. I have wanted one of these delicious looking sandwiches ever since I watched that. YU-UM! So so so good. If you ever get the chance... try one! If you're ever in the salt lake area... Redwood road about 3100 South... next to the Chevron... go to Hang Phat! Oh. And the best part?! GIANT SAMMICH. 3 BUCKS! That's right. Three bucks! Take three bucks to subway and see what that will get ya! Ha. No really though. It was sooo good.

Ciao! Adios! Aloha!

Something You Never Leave the House Without...

MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

No really though... that's really the only thing that I never leave the house without. Sure I generally take my keys with me... but that's not 100% of the time. :) HA. Take that blog readers!

I'm currently obsessed with 2 TV shows... though I must admit I do value the first a much more than the second. Though I do love them both. A LOT.

PSYCH. The best show ever. SOOOOO Funny. And so under-appreciated. So many people have never even heard of it. Well they, my friends, are MISSING OUT.


The Second is Glee of course. I, like so many others, LOVE this show. Yes, it's probably one of the most CHEESY shows out there right now... but the music is good. And it has heart. It may be a bit melodramatic... but the songs are good... and, let's face it, a majority of musicals are MELODRAMATIC. So it works. :)


I made this for Courtney. She loves Glee too. :)


Random sidenote that has absolutely NOTHING to do with this... if I get called "dude" one more time, I am going to kill someone in the face... twice. It's been less than a month and I'm already about to snap. I need friends. Like real ones. That are not the people I currently live with. But seriously DUDE what are you? A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
Also. If you have to ask me if I'm grumpy... chances are. I'm not. I'm just annoyed with you, the asker. I typically know when I'm grumpy... and I generally let people know so they can avoid me if they so desire. If you get all up in my grill, however, I am not usually "grumpy" in general. Just annoyed. Probably at you, the person who is wondering if I am grumpy. Just so you know.
