Oh Canada

Mom was cleaning out the coat closet when she found this awesome hoodie. I fell in love with it and I've been wearing it all day. It's been pretty boring today. The only interesting part of the day didn't happen until around 7pm.

There was a church activity where we had dinner from Zupas, did a getting to know you activity, and talked about the Book of Mormon. We also started reading it together and got new books. Here is a picture of the dinner. I chose the strawberry raspberry salad with raspberry vinaigrette, potato chips, a ham sandwich and a chocolate strawberry (not pictured).



I got a separate picture of the chocolate strawberries.



There were things all over the walls that had our baby picture and 5 facts about us on them. For the getting to know you activity we took turns standing in front our info and we had people that asked us about ourselves. We rotated and did one wall at a time. I was the first wall and got to rotate through 3 different people and learned about other people later when I visited their walls. It was a little hard to talk so much, but I got through it!

The rest of the day before this isn't really important. I did play a lot of trivia crack though!

Various Stuff

I watched the gymnastics team get gold today, it was great. I have always loved gymnastics a lot. I also watched Michael Phelps get his gold and break a record for the most medals. I am personally more of a Lochti fan like I said yesterday though. I know he doesn't have as many medals, but I just think he is great.  As for the gymnastics team, I don't really have a favorite currently.
My sister made a second batch of Gluten free chocolate chip cookies, and peanut butter cookies, they were great. I didn't write anything on Sunday, but that was probably the only thing that happened that day besides church and the Olympics.  We made the first batch on Sunday.

I watched Bonanza today with my mom, I haven't watched that in a long time. It is a raelly great show. Some of you know that I love old TV shows, especiallly mystery, and westerns. I have also started watching Dragnet recently. 

Anyway, besides this I have been updating some stuff in minecraft like texture packs and other stuff. I try not to play tooo much on my computer because I don't want to wear my laptop out. I would probably play more if I had a desktop, but I don't so I just have to manage. I do play it a lot on my phone however.

I guess this is all. :)

Popcorn and Pizza

So yesterday I spent a lot of the day watching Phineas and Ferb, xena, hanging around instagram on my phone, and thinking about life. I went to Mirror Mirror with my sister and her family, and my brother in law's family was there too. We all went out to the Pizza Pie Cafe after. I had eaten a lot of Resses pieces, drank a lot of Dr. Pepper, ate a lot of popcorn, and a little bit of Red Cream Soda Laura brought for me. I wasn't feeling like eating at first, but I figured I should get some real food in my system, so I decided to eat anyway. It was good food. I had salad, cheese breadsticks, pasta, and dessert pizza. Afterward we went home and i just watched Xena and hung around the house.

Monday for FHE we played Softball, I didn't really play but I watched. It was at my old elementary school where i went to school for 5th and 6th grade. I had to walk around and think about all the memories I had there. Nothing much happened besides that. i had fun bringing back those memories.

Sunday I just went to church. I am all the way to Alma in the book of Mormon (Alma 5 as of now). I am really enjoying reading it.

Sorry if this seems kind of rushed, I am setting up my old blog again today so I have a lot on my mind. I think this is all for now. I will post again later most likely.

Boring Saturdays

Boring Saturday. I have been just watching Buffy today, and catching up on Phineas and Ferb. I am seriously bummed out about school being over. I am probably going to be saying this for a few days. I know there is still a week left, but after that it is going to be so boring. I am going to have to seriously start making plans of some kind to keep that from happening. I'm sure I will think of something to do during summer vacation.

I have been thinking about working on my math skills over the summer. I will most likely do this, and keep studying my psychology book, and brush up on some English stuff I am a little rusty on. I am planning on taking an English class next semester in the fall. I am a little nervous right now, I won't lie. Even though it is 4 months away I can't help it. I just hope everything turns out alright for me.

I visited my friends in Destiny Online yesterday. It was really nice to spend some time there. I haven't been able to log in to the game in a while because of school and stuff. 

Anyway, I really have nothing more to say today. It's still noon, but I seriously doubt anything else will happen today. If anything else does happen I will edit this again.

The Little Things I Love

When you are really depressed and then that one person you really like comes along and you suddenly can't stop smiling.

One rainbow is nice, 2 rainbows is awesome, 3 rainbows is fantastic.

That place in the store that has all those colorful suckers and other candy.

When the flowers bloom in the spring after the cold bitter winter.

When you are in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night and all you can see is glittery stars.

That first bite of food when you are hungry.

that really great place in a book that makes your adrenaline rush.

The smell of pure nature when you go hiking in the mountains.

Long drives where you have no destination, you just go wherever your heart leads.

When that one person you really love walks through the door and you heart skips a beat.

Getting soaked in the rain after being really hot.

Finding cute, random Nicknacs in the store.

When you think you are alone and finally realize there are more people that care than you thought.

When you are afraid and that wind of courage envelops you at last.

freshly picked fruit of all seasons

Roasting stuff over a camp fire with your friends and / or family.

Playing video games or watching TV or a movie and yelling at the TV with your buddies.

The rainbow colored clouds right before the sun sets.

When in the midst of all the bad news good news finally comes.

Seeing that person you love after being separated for so long.

That magical moment right before your first kiss.

When you are putting the last piece of a very big puzzle down.

Watching the kids play silly games out in the yard with their friends.

That wave of inspiration you get out of nowhere when you need it, or even when you don't need it.

Going through various stores, not really looking for anything just looking at everything because you can.

Ice cream on a hot summers day.

Those really fun moments after you had a boring day.

Those silly photos you take with your friends.

When you are walking on the beach, looking off into the distance and it looks like the ocean touches the sky.

When you finally find that one person that just seems perfect for you.

Blankety Blank Blank Blank

Can’t think up a decent title today but I had to put something!

The weather seems to be turning good. It’s been pretty sunny the past few days with no snow and it’s been in the 50s at some times. I don’t know how long it will last but I like the way it is right now.

So I’ve been working on a few TV shows this week. I actually started watching Supernatural, and caught up on Smallville. I really like Supernatural it’s so creepy, but honestly I think it might be a bit to much for me. It’s a great show and all but it has so many things that aren’t good. I might not continue with it anymore. It definitely is the king od Thriller / horror / suspense TV shows though. I’ve never had much of a stomach for horror, well this kind of horror / thriller. I did get all the way to the 4th season though. Some of you might call me crazy for watching a show like Supernatural, I don’t blame you it is intense and crazy. I don’t think I’m going to watch it anymore honestly. It just gives me a bad feeling. There is to much about demons and evil and stuff, it gives me the creeps. I love the show I won’t lie but I know I probably shouldn’t watch it because it gives me a bad feeling.I’d rather avoid stuff like that.

This is what I have been doing for most of this week. Yeah, I know it’s kind of dumb. I have also been doing a few things on Destiny Online though. Like I said in my last entry I have been catching up and leveling my characters somewhat. I don’t feel like actually playing most of the time. I kind of feel like it’s sort of a waste of time honestly. I’ve just never had much motivation to do anything but talk to my friends on that game. The game isn’t that great anyway so it’s not like I have anything to lose. In all honesty I only stay because there are some really cool people on there. I mostly just talk to people or walk around or sometimes I just log in and then go to whatever I was doing in Firefox. 

I also started playing Angels Online again. I think the game is really cute and it’s a braeth of fresh air to retrun to it after a low grade game like Destiny.

I am waiting for a game called Altis Gates right now it’s made by IGG, the same company as Angels Online. If i end up liking the game I’m going to quit Destiny for good.

I haven’t been spending as much time on facebook lately, I don’t really like playing the games on there that much and no one really talks to me so I usually just log on and open another tab in my browser and do something else. I usually play tetris or read blogs and stuff. I also spend a lot of time on Yahoo answers sometimes. I love Yahoo answers I think it is fun to answer people’s questions. Sometimes I just listen to pandora radio and red manga as well. I do plenty of things besides just play Destiny Online and surf facebook. Sometimes I feel like I am not doing anything worth while but now that I think about it that isn’t really true.  Hmm… interesting.

I also have a World of Warcraft account but honestly I never play it. I’m just not that interested honestly. I think I’m going to unsubscribe soon maybe.

Anyway I am just going to go back to reading manga now. I think this is all for today.

My Closet is finished... pretty much.

So sorry I've been away for 10 days from Xanga. I have been taking care of a lot of stuff.

Anyway, here is what has been happening.

This week they finished up my closet, we are still painting it though right now so I'm not putting pictures up yet. I will do that soon. I am going to paint my walls next. After I paint my walls i am most likely going to get new carpet, and then I will see after that.

Last week we had our quarterly ward potluck at my church after church. Darik and Dylan have been going to my ward for almost a month now. It has been awesome.  They were there, and I sat at a table directly behind Dylan. I was going to sit at the same table, or next to him but some other people beat me to it. I won't pretend I wasn't disappointed, I really was.  The food was great, I don't really remember what I ate though. I remember I ate a roll, and a cookie from the cookies I bought. I had a little bit of everything pretty much. 

I just hung around the table Dylan was sitting at for a while, and listened to the people talk for a while.  I hung around after the dinner was done for a while. I was not sure if I was going to walk home or get a ride.  I thought that Darik and Dylan had left already by the time I was leaving, but then Dylan caught up to me right when I was about to go out the door and asked me if I needed a ride. I can't even tell you how happy that made me. To me any time I can spend with him or Darik is worth it. They are pretty awesome guys.  I was in a great mood the whole rest of the day after that.

Anyway, this week nothing much happened besides my closet being remodeled. I spent most of the week listening to music and finding new artists, doing stuff on facebook, and trying to finish some things I've been writing. 

I did go shopping on Friday. We went to target and I got my new boots, and a new coat. I also got this really pretty snow globe with an angel in it.  We went to the mall as well that day, my mom is searching for new jobs, so she went looking there.  We went to R.C Willey to look at furnature, and a new washing machine, we ended up not buying one though because the guy that worked there honestly told us what was wrong when we explained what was going on. It turned out it was our soap that was the problem. We are going to buy a new fridge though soon, so we'll be back there.

Anyway, other than that I can't remember anything else. I did buy some pretty cool iphone apps though. I will do a seperate post about that some other time though.

Catching Up

Wow, so it’s been a couple of weeks once again.

Okay, so first of all last time I wrote I was a few days away from seeing Sam. I did see him, it was a very nice experience. I am not a very picky person so even though we did not get to talk very much in person I was fully satisfied that I got to at least see him. I wasn’t really expecting anything though. I mean, this was at church so I knew we probably wouldn’t talk much.

I will say this, I was in a good mood the whole day that day. It was the sunday after my last post.

Anyway, so not much has happened.

My sister is having her baby though this week. We are all excited. We thought that she would probably have it last week but that did not happen. The baby is pretty big. I am surprised it hasn’t tried to escape yet. (ha ha).

I’m excited to have a new nephew. Last week we also learned that my sister in-law is having a girl sometime around December! Yeah, so double excitement last week.

My mom actually got a week off to go visit Linda in California because we were having all this excitement with the baby and all. I’m glad she got a week off from her work. it causes her a lot of stress.

A couple of weeks back there was also a tabernacle choir concert to celebrate some anniversary. I can’t remember what it was. the concert was pretty good though.

Anyway, so we have this fan that was just lying around the house downstairs. I took a liking to it and have been using it a lot lately it feels nice.

Yeah so, other than that I don’t think anything very exciting has happened. :)

Anime and other stuff...

So nothing much happened yesterday. I just watched movies, and stuff on the computer. I found out yesterday that Sam is coming home next Monday, which is surprising, I’m a little bit nervous but not to much though. I really want to see him a lot.  Besides that i accidentally made it so i can’t log into my LDS.net account again. I tried changing my email but i never got the activation email in my other email that is a hotmail account so I have to make a new account now because i can’t activate it anymore.  I don’t really remember what else happened yesterday though.    

Anyway, today I’ve just been watching anime. I’m trying out a few different new ones, don’t know what I’ll be watching next yet though. I had a chicken and cheese burrito today, it was the first thing i ate today, i haven’t eaten anything else today though, I really should I suppose.

I was on Destiny Online today and this guy was putting a bid up for an item. I jokingly said that i would pay 1 silver thinking that he wouldn’t take it seriously but he did and started making a big deal out of it. It was pretty stupid. We got into a little fight about how i don’t owe him 1 silver because he never gave me the item because i don't want the item. I think his logic skills are a big unrefined.

Anyway so here I am now just listening to music.

Movies and Nonsense...

So i decided to watch the Brave Little Toaster. Don’t know why, probably because i haven’t seen it since i was 4. ha ha. It was pretty interesting though, for a movie like it.

Speaking of movies I’m way hyped up for Toy Story 3 in a week. I want to get tickets so badly. I have loved Toy Story for YEARS! One of my best memories is having a sleepover with my sister Linda and Going to see Toy Story 2 when it was in theaters.

I made this chicken, cheese tortilla thing. It’s basically just chicken and cheese between 2 tortillas. You cut it like a pizza. I eat this whenever I have no clue to eat, or if I haven’t eaten very much. It’s really good if you warm it up in a pan, then the tortilla gets all crunchy its so good.

My sister and my mom were burning a bunch of old papers. There were a lot of them. Our house seems to be cluttered with paper all the time. It’s pretty crazy. I remember when I was in school I would have to throw away loads of paper every month it was insane.  Paper can make a real mess.

I really need to make my bed again, I somehow kicked the sheet off and not the blanket a couple of days ago it was weird.

Life and Toast...

I really hate it when the only thing i can think up for food is toast. I must have had at least 4 pieces of toast today. ><

I found this website called JAPANATOR, about everything anime, it’s basicly a great Otaku site. I was looking up articles about the end of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and i found it on accident.

I was on COLOURLovers for quite a while thinking up new palettes, patterns and colors. There was one palette of purple of green colors that I was trying to find the right pattern for but I never quite found one. I think I’ll look some more later because I really want to find a nice pattern to show off the colors.

You can almost call the way the weather feels right now early Fall.  It’s like a curse! I just want this cold weather to go away!

My mom has been cleaning out our pantry and organizing everything in it. I get my organizing skills from her I think. I have always liked to organize stuff. It’s like a natural talent I have.

I re-designed my twitter page. I havn’t updated in a mont though. Today was the first day i have updated for a long time.

I went onto DeviantART today, I like to visit this chat room though it’s not really like a chat room because people aren’t allowed to say anything. It’s called Idle RPG, it’s mainly run by bots, and random things, events, whatever happen the longer your on. I discovered it’s down today though which is sort of sad because it was interesting.

Gloomy Day Today...

So catching up where I left off. I found out that this pear of sweats that I like actually belong to my sister. It’s not big deal though I can just get another pair. I need to get more pants anyway.

It’s another gloomy day today. I wish this rain would go away for a couple of weeks. I think it has rained enough lately.

I was looking at the featured videos on youtube. Sometimes it has the dumbest things on there. I tend to lean away from the top videos because some of them are really quite idiotic.

In other news my brother is here doing something with the piano I don’t know what though.

I’ve been catching up on anime lately. I have a long way to go but I managed to catch up on Fullmetal Alchemist. I still have to watch the old version though that they made back in 2003. The new one is called Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. From what I remember from the old one that I watched a long time ago the new one is a lot better.

Another random thought. My sister was commenting on how spicy our salsa is. I actually don’t think it was that spicy at all. I don’t know why I just don’t think it’s that spicy. I don’t dislike it though I actually think it’s pretty good salsa. Better than that non-spicy stuff we were getting for a while. I mean isn’t salsa supposed to be hot? >.>

I accedentaly brought another glass of apple juice downstairs when I already had a cup down here already. That is the second time I have done that this week. At least it’s not full of apple juice like it was last time ha ha.

Caserole...

So I now know what we are having for dinner tonight. Chicken broccoli casserole is a regular occurrence around my house. I love it a lot though. It’s exactly what it sounds like. There is cheese and stuff in it too though. It’s really great

I just realized that my music has stopped. It might have been that way for about an hour now. I usually am to distracted to notice sometimes. ha ha.

I also have the hiccups right now and am holding my breath to try and get them to go away ><.

BORED!!!

I dun feel like playing the game right now, I just feel like blogging haha. Its been a while since I've wrote anything.

My brother is getting married on the 8th of May I'm so excited. I've known the person hes marrying since childhood. I think she and I will become great friends. I'm going to the bridal shower today, can't wait to see what she gets. Even more i cant wait until i get to have my ow wedding wooooo! <3

That's not even near though seeing as I've never taken interest in anyone *laugh*.

I've been just playing that game I've been playing since January (Destiny online) but sometimes i get really bored with it or frusterated because of all the drama that goes on. I have a ton of friends on that game now. I've even goten to the point where i don't like to log out (crazy huh?), yeah but on that game being an addict is something that people cheer for its so funny. I am a full fledged Destiny addict and there is no use denying it seeing i couldn't stand even being logged out for 12 hours that one time i tried to quit *laughs*. 

RAWR!!! My mom opened my window again, don't you hate that feeling when you have your window open and you feel like someone is watching your every move? that's why i usually keep mine closed all the time and the blinds down and the curtains shut. 

My room is messy again *laugh* i need to clean it again so badly.

I'm so glad the weather is getting nicer again! I hate winter! (don't know how many times I've told you that but you probably already know). 

Anyway I'll write something later, and i think I'll make it a point never to log out of Xanga when I'm playing my game because i usually have a ton to think about when I'm playing. *laugh*

Oh and hi to all the people on facebook that are probably going to be reading this *laugh* I like this new xanga feature!
