Pictures as Requested

So here are just a few of the cupcakes I made for the dessert party my roomies and I threw on Valentines Day... Yum! Good thing for lent I decided to give up sweets... again.........36 days to go

Don't worry I'm allowing myself one cheat day, and technically Sundays aren't even counted in the countdown to Easter so really its 42 days left... I'd say that allows for a cheat day

I went to Disneyland the first week in February and look who came back with me! That is one yummy sandwich I'm glad to be in the middle of

I found these Jack Skelington gloves in a store and couldn't believe how freakishly creepy they were... so naturally I had to put them on and do a little dance then post it on here for widespread pleasure and enjoyment.
Monte Cristos and mint julips at the Blue Bayou.....sigh..... can life taste any better? This is me pretending it was my birthday to get a free dessert. Oh... my parents should probably be concerned at the extent I'll go to in order to receive free things

Shoutout to Johnny Weir!!!!!!!//////////// Johny Queer!!!!!!!!

I have had a long (most likely unhealthy) relationship with competition figure skating, and the Olympics is certainly the time of year when it is at its peak. Johnny Weir is not to be missed representing the good ole USA. If you missed his performance on Tuesday evening tis shame.... quite the hilariously dramatic display complete with hot pink flare, shifty eye gestures, and he even blew kisses as a cherry on top. I'm pulling for Evan Lysacek tonight however, Sorry Johnny but I'm not sure America is ready to see that sass on a Wheaties box quite yet. And Plushanko.....honestly? How are you STILL able to compete in another Olypmics!!!!!???? If you win gold.... I can't even think about it.....

However, on a lighter note, I could not be happier because for the next two weeks my most favoritist things in all the world combine! Canada, Olympics, Figure Skating, Matt Laurer, maple, the today show...can life get any better? Its a real big problem actually as I don't leave my apartment because I will miss one of the many competitions I'm dying to see. I think I may be among the few who can resite the Olympic Oath who is not an Olympian.... I take great pride in that.

I've recently been asking people if they'll disown me if when I move to Canada to gain my Canadian citizenship... the answers I received..... yes. I'd ask these individuals to please reconcider. Canada can't help it that she is just THAT awesome. Happy Olympic Watching!!!!

Sesame Street Blues

I don't quite know how this happened, but as I was standing at work (not 10 minutes ago) I suddenly realized... What am I wearing? I litterally look like I belong on Sesame Street today. I have my Ernie shoes on (that always make me feel like a cartoon character), bright play dough colors, and a bow in my hair to top it off. It's quite commical I'll admit... but the worst part is I'll be stuck in my Sesame get up for the rest of the day.... so to all the folks who'll see... I hope you enjoy

Time for an Awkward Moment

Shout Out to BYU!!! A university like none other.... Awkward BYU shoutout awarded to guy in the wilk praying over his taco and in the square dancing in tight white pants to "shake your groove thing" In case anyone wants to witness this for themselves he is out there on Tuesdays or Thursdays at 1pm!!! Way to go white spandex boy!

As if my life isn't already a conglomerate of awkward situations, I experienced a truly blog worthy encounter last night. So as of late my life hasn't been anything but hectic...(except for the two hours I wasted yesterday watching a two hour true hollywood story of the entire full house cast, which I actually considered to be quite educational)... anyways...

I was running from one class to a review for my marketing class yesterday and I was late walking in so I conveniently slipped into a seat on the back row as I have anxiety about walking down stairs in front of large groups of people. I sat down and asked the random guy next me a random question about what the TA just said. It was merely a "question seeking an answer" type of question... I think he mistook it as a "hey i want to get to know you so I'm going to ask you a question to start conversation... type of question. Needless to say for the rest of the review he continued to talk to me and tell me stories about things I didn't care to hear at all...I came to review for the test not have creepy older guys pick up on me... And to sum it all up he awkwardly and out of nowhere asks for my number and if he could take me out sometime...
Many problems with this senario
#1. Anyone who asks you out after two minutes of talking to you is mearly only attracted to you superficially...I CLEARLY I'm not attracted to him.
#2. I did not give any signs of interest toward this person... In fact I was quite rude. I believe when he asked for my number I said "ummmmmmmm...... sure"
#3. He has no idea of what kind of person I am, I could be one of those people who wander around campus and the HFAC singing opera and showtunes.
#4. He surely made it a point to get my first and last name...information I deeply regret giving out.
#5. He quite creeplily somehow found where I was in class this morning and decided to sit next to me, as I sat cringing and avoiding eye contact the entire class.
#6. The best part of this is that I don't remember his name or really what he even looks like at this point... maybe that can work to my advantage.

So if anyone wants to be my boyfriend in Marketing at 8 am on tuesdays and thursdays or knows any good body gaurds to protect me from my new stalker... I'd appreciate it.

An Interesting Place

There is really no other place on earth like BYU.... how can I emphasize this... (WARNING!!!! This blog post will be very cynical as I am in one of those moods!!!) So currently I am sitting in the library. Libraries are supposed to be quiet are they not? No... not here on the fifth floor where the students have about as much interest in their studies as they do in helping the homeless or disabled; which = none.

I am supposed to be writing an essay that is due tomorrow but this post just could not wait. I am currently seated next to some of the most obnoxious persons that the library may have ever come in contact with.... lets just call them Sweet Bro and Sweet Girl, because that is exactly what they are. I know anyone who reads this blog already knows the infamous definition of a guy who can coin the name "Sweet Bro" but "Sweet Girl" is a new term, and something that I really can't fully express my frustration with. Sweet Girls wear designer jeans...ALWAYS...Sweet Girls are from California... Sweet Girls wear odd fashions that they think are in style but really.... are they? Sweet Girls only wear brand names.... Sweet Girls talk with Valley Girl accents....Sweet Girls try to fake a Bohemian layed back style of dress but you know that "Sweet Girl" took at least an hour and a half to get ready in the morning and will change her outfit approximately three time throughout the day just for good measure. Most of the "Sweet Bros" and "Sweet Girls" live at Alpine Village. The two characters sitting next to me fit these exact descriptions.

Sweet Bro at my table is currently chonking on his fresh stick of minty gum like a 10 yr old little girl would, and has been continuing to brag for the past hour about how Kristen Bell came to his cabin in Park City this weekend. The "Sweet Girls" at the table continue to ask him about it and are receiving texts from friends saying "OMG I can't believe you met Kristen Bell!!!!!" He is presently showing one of the girls a pic of Kristen Bell he has on his phone with her.

As I look around the room I notice that the 5th floor of the library is filled with this stereo type of people because people at every table are talking "loudly" to one another. The fifth floor is literally like a club. Everyone walks in and already knows each other. "sup bro?" "hey man!" "love you long time" "duuuuddddddeeee" are just the common phrases that I simply refuse to hear anymore!!!

I would readily venture elsewhere but it wouldn't be the first time I've gotten lost in the library! I must say I feel much better venting.... hold that thought... just as I wrote that someone's cell phone went off... I don't think I even need to mention what the ring tone was... If you can think of the most annoying song in the world it will probably fit the bill. I really need to find a new place to study!

BaCk iN tHe SwinG of ThIngS

The beginning of a new year means the beginning of a new semester. I don't do well with change and its alot to handle right now... new apartment, new roommates, new ward, new classes, training for a half marathon, living on an opposite side of provo.... it will take some getting used to.

So much change that I have become very spaztic and forgetful.... for example I only discovered last night that I have no toothpaste at my own apartment.... definitly an essential i would think... and also my new apartment doesn't have any paper towels or napkins (which i need to buy but haven't found the time) which would have come in handy in many situtations yesterday.... like when i was unpacking and realized that my bottle of maple syrup had opened and drenched everything in the same bag as it with maple goodness, or when our garbage dropped gross green goop all over the floor (it honestly looked like toxic hazardass waist), or when my oatmeal overflowed in the micro wave this morning! Has anyone ever had that happen? It drives me crazy when it overflows!!!! ah..... I have never realized how gratefull I am for paper towels.... two gold stars for them.

So far classes have proved to be commical as well. Wanna know what class requires 8 text books, a 10-15 page paper and three tests?....... History of Tourism!!!!!! Come on, that is supposed to be a sleeper class right? New Testement is actually going to be good I can already tell. My professor lived in Jerusalem for five years and he's already talked alot about the sights and history so I'll probably learn alot about it before I go to Israel in May! My Leisure in Comtemporary Society class is just as it sounds... a real bore, its two and a half hours and all we did was watch youtube videos.... easy peasy.

Did I also mention that my new apartment has a beach theme... pictures of paridise and the ocean everywhere!!!!! It makes it even harder to to live in this slurpy!!! (Anyone who has seen Meet the Deedles will appreciate that comment) I was already in warm sunny florida this time last year.... I was not made for snow and cold weather...period The only thing I am looking forward to throughout the remainder of this awful winter is the olympics!!!!! Too bad my dreams of becoming a professional figure skater were crushed over the break as witnessed by my family... so uh hey mom and dad how about those private lessons I've been asking for since I was six. Lesson #1 learn how to stand up on ice with skates on

Back to the Mundane....

So I guess finals made my life a little hectic this week... (a little is a grave understatement) I guess I learned this semester that you can't slack off for three months and try to learn everything in a week.... the end result is not rewarding or enjoyable to say the least... its so unlike me to procrastinate and not care about grades, but I can't explain a lot of a lot of my behavior lately... for example.... For about the past two weeks I have had ipod dance parties by myself in my room... (depressing? strange? what the?... these are all valid questions) my last dance escapade lasted until 2 am. Don't even ask me how that happened!!!!!! I really think I am going insane. I also can't explain why I've been feeling sympathy lately towards our apartment building's ferrel cat AND when ever anyone says anything I seem to turn it into a thats what she said..... Ahhhhh

But now that Christmas Break is here I am back to the same old same old. No more tests, no work, and hopefully no more late night dance parties!!!! I wonder if my roommates wonder what all the ruckus is in my room?
