R: Reyna

Dear Reyna,

Last week I was texting while walking home. It was quite a humorous conversation, and Calvin can be very entertaining. However, a stupid tree decided to block my path and run into me. The idiot. So after my face made the abrupt acquaintance of said tree, I hurried on my way. The next day I had a second run-in with the same tree, but departed by giving him a nice, firm kick.

So, last night I went upstairs in the complete dark looking for my computer charger. I remembered having left it by the kitchen table. Not wanting to wake up the kids, I left the lights off. I felt around with my foot in the dark. Having located my charger, I bent down to pick it up. Instead of reaching my goal, I encountered a loud BANG and a bright flash of white light. Immediately I put my hands to the source of screaming pain and feel a sort of dampness. I run to the light switch, flip it on, and find my hands covered in tears and blood. Wonderful. Turns out a wooden chair had jumped out from under the table and bit my eye. I couldn't see out of it for an hour. Thought I was blind. For reals. Stupid karma for kicking that tree.

Also, just now, I forgot that I had a nice gash on my eyelid, had an itch, and mindlessly brought back the sharp pain.

Basically, I'm an idiot.

this is how i feel.

Halloween. and. Preference.

Okay, so these are some of my fellow coworkers. The one on my left is Dan. And the wolf is Amber. I don't know who the hippie is. 

So basically after work, me, kelly, dan, rachel, meg, and davey hung out around town. We went to sonic, started a movie called 28 Weeks later (edited). It was definitely scary enough. 2 minutes into it, and i had enough. So we switched to Shaun of the Dead (also edited). Which was hilarious. I loved the references to Night of the living dead. Anyway, so after the movies, we went looking for a place to eat that wasn't full of scary looking college kids. We ended up at SconeCutter (every thing's better on a scone). And then we stayed out until 4 am. I was still sick... so that probably didn't help. And then Saturday, the international cinema was playing this horror film called el orfenato (The Orphanage). It was amazing. Like, my favorite Halloweeny movie now. 

So, on Monday I randomly found a pack of glow-in-the-dark stars at the bookstore. And I bought them. And a couple of packs of starbursts. And decided to ask Nick to preference. So during work on Wednesday, I snuck out of work during visiting hours, and into his room. And left this:

 Which says: 

starlight, star bright

first starburst i see tonight

wish i may, wish i might

be your date on preference night

And then I scattered the other starburst around his room randomly.

And of course put the stars everywhere as well.

Unfortunately, the stars only look cool when they're glowing.

And he responded today with this stuck in a piano bench:

 

The starbursts were inside the candy wrapper, and it was taped shut. I was so excited to get chocolate... What a let down. :)

 

And this is what the note said:

  

I feel like such a little zoobie. 

Anyway, we'll be going to a jumbo twister party on Saturday. Mostly because it's the only one that didn't require a car. I'm excited.

I made it!.

Okay, so, I'm not judging here.... I'm just acknowledging the first freshman girl on my floor to get engaged. Two and a half weeks. Best of luck to the couple. 

I got a 95.5 on my calc exam!!! Woo Hoo!!! That really made my day. 

I'm still sick. 

Preference is in a little over 2 weeks. Any (creative (it is BYU after all)) ideas on how to ask someone to go with me? 

I had my first experience with accidentally sticking a 100% cotton sweater into a dryer.... It was amazing how much it shrunk! Luckily it was way too big to begin with. 

Halloween is on Friday!!! Woo Hoo!!!

Yeah, I can't really think of anything else to say. I just wanted to get to the bottom of the picture so it would be even. I'm listening to the soundtrack to Anastasia right now. I found an egg on my bike 2 days ago. Odd. The Cannon Center (where I work) has been egged twice. 

This is really hard!!! Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....................

Bleh.

So, after all of my hard work, of not getting sick.... it turns out I am. I was thinking about it, and why is it that a lot more people get sick during the winter?

So... I carved a pumpkin on Friday. On  one side is Marvin the Martian (I know... it's a little hard to tell, but whatever) It looks better in the daytime.

And on the other side, it's a star!

I also went to Wal - Mart (I'm sorry dad, please don't hate me)  and got this amazing costume from the boys section!!!

Unfortunately they won't let me wear it at work on Halloween. Well, they said I just couldn't wear a mask. Now, how can you be batman without a mask? Lame, I know.  Let's see, well, I don't have any other tests until November, which is good, seeing as how I can't think straight now.  Um.... tomorrow is Saturday! And I'll be going with a girl from work to The MOA. I hope I can find some drugs before then so I don't completely gross her out. I've been craving Disney movies like no other, and I think that YouTube  being blocked is not helping. The Lion King, The Newsies, Oliver and Company, Fox and the Hound... trust me, the list goes on.... Well, I have to go shower and get ready for the day. Last picture: 

On Friday I went to Red Robin with some friends from work, one of whom is Rachel here. She's crazy and I love her. 

Anyway, you guys have a wonderful day!!

7 random things tag.

So apparently, I was tagged in my Mom's blog... I'm a little late, I know. 

Seven random things... ? This'll be tough. 

1. Purple is my favorite color! I got a purple case for my macbook! My favorite eyeshadow is purple. So is my eyeliner! Makes my green eyes POP!

2. (I guess I'll keep going with the green) I'm going golfing tomorrow! Hopefully it all goes well. Actually, I'm just hoping I'm not going to make too big of a fool of myself. (I went, and I stink)

3. (We'll go with the color of my sheets now) I saw O Brother, Where Art Thou? for the first time this weekend. I loved the music. I know Dason has it, so ask him if he can email it to me. Please and thank you!

4. (I like this whole color idea :P ) What I really want for christmas is more glow-in-the-dark stars to finish my room. *hint hint*

5. I love the surprised expression people give me when I tell them that I'm an economics major. The way they react makes me feel like I'm the only girl here at BYU who isn't a MFHD major. 

6. I'm going to the Museum of Art this weekend! I'm way excited!

7. I feel a cold coming on... :( Not fun. Hopefully I'll be able to fight it back... 

Anyway, I don't really know anyone else to tag, so yeah.
