sistah mishunreez.

So, here's Tamarra's blog. She's currently serving in the Temple Square mission. I love her.

 Her sister (i think) posts her emails once a week.


This is Niecie. She's going to the mtc tomorrow then on to Brazil! Her blog is awesome. Especially her farewell talk. She's very truthful about her preparation and waiting period.

If you have any other recommendations, let me know!

things for today.

I want this. 

And here's my mission picture.

Curses, I think I know the answer. 

Because I am in lurve with these.

Hamlet?

Juliet?

These are all guesses. 

I've been told 3 times by strangers that I look like the girl from pomplamoose. I show my little sister this picture and ask if I look like her. Sydney says, "yes. but your face is rounder."

Maybe I need to lose weight.

happy birfday!

Happy Birthday Puffer! Love you!

today.

 You know those days when you get the mean reds?

 The mean reds. You mean like the blues?

No. The blues are because you're getting fat, and maybe it's been raining too long. 
You're just sad, that's all. 
The mean reds are horrible. 
Suddenly you're afraid, and you don't know what you're afraid of. 


Do you ever get that feeling?

Day 18 1/2.

I really just like my shoes. 

Volume Two!

Lurve, Love, Amor, Al-Hubb, Ahav, and any other way you want to say it.

I am so in love with Zooey Deschanel. She & Him Volume Two = obsession.

A review: "Though Ward is a master instrumentalist, Deschanel's vocal affects and childlike rhymes sometimes veer into twee overload; she can seem too in love with her own adorability."


Who cares? I'm in love with her adorability.

If you can't sleep: 

If the world is cold, but the sun shines the same
Shut your eyes, there are bluer skies
For you're embraced in my heart
Goodbye shadows

Thieves:

I'm not a prophet, old love is in me.
New love just seeps right in
And it makes me guilty
Why do you look like this?
Not all that bad.
I'll see you sometime
Sometimes lonely isn't sad.

Don't Look Back:

Orpheus melted the heart of Persephone  
But I never had yours.

Ridin' In My Car: 

And I can't find no true love
Oh baby, it's so hard
And I still think about you
Every time I'm riding in my car

Lingering Still:

I like to mean what I say
But it doesn't always come through
Cause if I say it all again again again again it doesn't make it more true.

And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret.
And I saw you lingering still
I saw you lingering still.

- More to come!
