new things.

I am stuck in Texas fyi.

It shouldn't be as bad as last time. So far it hasn't.

I've done replicas of cartoons. I just started with the ink and paint brush thing, but I'll get used to it soon.



I paint them, and then scan them in. One day I will gather my courage and actually print one out for my t shirt I'm supposed to be making. Instead I have been cutting up other shirts and hand stitching the scraps onto plain white undershirts. I'm actually excited to wear them.

I have also started golfing. I hurt. My hands, my head, my feet, my neck, my arms, but most of all, my back. I never dreamt golf could be so demanding. Nor so cute.



Oh. I also temporarily cut ties with facebook last night. Did you know you could deactivate your account and reactivate it anytime you want? Everything will be there as you left it waiting for your return.

Problem. I am too addicted. I am going through withdrawals. I have tried many times to go a month, a week, or even a day without getting on facebook. But then 5 hours into the attempt, I give. I have it on my phone for those rare times my computer isn't near me. Every 5 minutes I flip it open and push the shortcut key. It's close to an obsession.

It's a little easier right now. I know that my account is invisible to others right now, so I know that I'm not missing out on any new notifications.

I will come back. Hopefully I can make it a month. Don't worry dad. Just like other things and a few people in my life, I need to moderate the amount of time I interact with it.

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. 

My bad.

So, I meant to update at least once a week... but I didn't. Sorry. 

I've been working, and it's a blast. I love it. I make pasta, and my uniform is hilarious! I'll upload a picture next week. I've got to say that my favorite class is golf. We haven't actually worked on driving yet so I'm kinda scared to go and play a round. 

My next favorite class is Pearl of Great Price, my teacher is what people would call a gentle giant. HE'S FREAKING HUGE!!! But he is a great story teller. 

Time to address the rumors of a boy... 

There was potential, but then I got really bored/annoyed. 

The end. 

On Wednesday the guys found out I had pepper spray, and they voted that Dallin should be the one sprayed. Well, they tried his arm and the results weren't extreme enough for them, so he decided to spray his hand and lick it. 

If you can't see it, his tongue is bright orange.

Much better. This then inspired them to order a taser (what's with guys and pain?) from a website I found. So in about 4 business days, I should have some awesome videos to upload. They all want to try it on themselves. Idiots. 

Friday night I was walking to the creamery by Heritage with a friend to get apple juice when a car with a ton of people pulled up, and said we should hop in. First, we knew they were kidding, and there wasn't any room anyways. Well it turns out they weren't kidding, so we got in. 14 people in a 5 passenger car. Wow. We went around the block , and then split before the po-po got too close. They then invited us to go cow tipping... we drove around in separate cars for like 2 hours. But no luck, we only found sheep and horses. We went to their place and we had a bacon party at Wyview. They are crazy. 

We beat Wyoming so badly on Saturday it was boring. I left early, realized that I had locked myself out of my dorm, and went to Heritage to chill with some guy friends (one of which looks like Cameron from Ferris Bueller's Day Off). They found out I had brought my wii, so they demanded that I go get it. Which I did after I interrupted my RA's nap. We played Super Smash Brothers, and after Kyle went undefeated for 20 rounds in a row, we switched to Mario Kart. It was fun. 

I went home before midnight, hoping to get some sleep... But at 10 I got a call saying there was a gallon chugging challenge going on at Heritage at 10:30. 

How can you pass up an opportunity of watching 6 guys vomit a gallon of milk? It was nasty. 

They used trash bags and held them up when they were finished... So much milk... It smelled rancid.

 The bags spilled a couple of times... Let me say, I'm glad I'm not living in Whitney Hall... ugh.

Later tonight I should be going to family dinner at the Jex's. Anne makes amazing rolls!

That's about it for now. I'll try and keep up with this.
