This is Me Blogging

It has been forever since the last time I blogged. What can I say, the Mayor took all of the blogging genes. Actually there just hasn't been anything interesting in my life that has been blog worthy. Yes, my life is that boring.

If you know me even just a little or are my friend on facebook, then you would know that I am going to BYU Idaho this January. You can ask me what the h@*& possessed me to decide to go somewhere so cold, when my primary footwear is flip flops, but I couldn't give you an answer. Anyways back to the purpose of this blog, when I went a way to Hawaii I made a quilt for my dorm room bed, so now that I going away to school again and this time will need a quilt or two for my bed, I have started to piece my quilt for Idaho. My mom found the fabrics and I have to say I love them. The mayor might have taken all of the blogging genes but fortunately or unfortunately depending on who you ask, my mom has passed on enough decorating and crafting genes for all of us girls. With that said here is my latest project:



This is what it should look like when it is done. My mom and I have decided that we don't care for the brown border so we are going to try and find a coordinating fabric to make up the border and backing.

Next on the to do list is a pillowcase and coordinating decorative pillows:)

Whatever

Wow, it is good to see that I am such a blogging queen. My excuse for not blogging is that I am doing the world a favor by not boring people with my boring life. I go to school, and that's pretty much my life, I know pathetic. So for this blog I am gong to write a list of everything that comes to my mind for the next few minutes...that way you know that I was telling the truth about doing the world a favor.

-The new Hannah Montana CD isn't that bad (sorry dad)
-I need to file my taxes...oops I guess it can wait.
-Why am I blogging at 11:30 at night?
-I really want a diet Pepsi...I have gone for three weeks without that sweet elixir of life.
-I can't believe one of my best friends is moving in less then a month to Texas...that traitor, jerk.
-I am not crying, I have "allergies"
-If there is an earthquake right now I am going to die because a candle in a glass container hanging above my bed will fall on my head...if I go into a coma please call Dr. House.
-What do you get when you play a country song backwards?
-I feel like I am in Emperor's new groove with angels and devils on my shoulders.
-Life sure can throw you curve balls and make you jump through hoops...Is it worth it?
-I am cold, what was I thinking when I accepted my acceptance into BYU Idaho for winter semester.
-I get to see the cutest little bug on Tuesday.
-What do normal people do on spring break, I welcome the no school part but I am twelve hours into spring break and I am already bored.
-I wonder if anyone is even going to read this far on this post, can't blame them if they don't.
-I really need to get a life.


That was kind of therapeutic, of course anyone who read this is having opposite thoughts and is now feeling much better about themselves. I will work on getting a life so that my posts can be a little more exciting.

Randomness

To begin with, I hope everyone was sitting down when they saw that I actually blogged, if not pick yourself up off the floor...you look funny on the ground:)

If you have a facebook account then you might know that this is being sent around. Instead of posting it on my facebook I decided to use it as an opportunity to post something on my neglected blog. The idea is that you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you and then tag 25 more people... but I am not going to tag. So enjoy my randomness.

P.S. this is not a tag so you can relax.

Changes

I once heard that there are two things that you can guarantee in life and those were death and taxes. However I don't think that quite covers everything. I would like to add "change" to that pile. Change is constantly occurring in our daily lives. Some changes are good and others we feel like we could do without them. There are many types of changes that occur such as changes in goals, friendships, and circumstances. There are changes we have no control over and other that require us to take the first step. There are the kind that makes us grow, make us proud, and other that makes us feel loss or disappointment. There are the changes that that make you feel like you moving forward and the others that make you feel like you are being left behind. Some might say it is important that we experience all kinds of changes, as for me I have yet to decide.

Bad Sense of Humor

I have been told that I have a bad sense of humor, or a twisted sense of humor on several different occasions. Why do I have a twisted sense of humor? It is because I have a "habit", I guess you could call it, to laugh when someone falls or gets hurt, within reason. I am not really sure why but for some reason people think it is wrong to laugh when someone falls or gets hurt, but I can't help but laugh. Someone once thought I was crying when I witnessed someone get hurt but that was only until they saw I was laughing so hard that it made my eyes water.What can I say I am a horrible horrible person. I guess that is why America's Funniest Home Videos is one of my favorite T.V. shows.
I receive comfort knowing that I am not the only person to have this problem. I remember on one occasion when Yannette and I laughed hysterically at Jessi shortly after Yannette through a nectarine at Jessi's face. And I know that Jessi laughs at people just as much as I do. Do take comfort to know that I do in fact feel bad about laughing a little bit. kind of? maybe? maybe not? But sense it is the right thing to do I would like to take this time to apologize, sort of, to those of you who I have laughed at during your time of humiliation or pain. But to prove that I wasn't completely in the wrong and that it is in fact funny here is a video. Do not judge me unless you can get through this video without smiling, snickering, or laughing.

Defined by A Soundtrack

I love music. If you were to ask anyone in my immediate family they would probably tell you that I would go through withdrawals without it, which I am currently going through since misplacing my iPOD somewhere in my house...You know in that safe place that I will remember but now have forgotten. One of the things that I love about music is that there is a song for probably every emotion, so no matter what you are feeling there is something to listen to. Music allows people to express themselves with out saying a thing. Emotions can definitely influence your music selection. But with that said, it should also be said that music also has an amazing power to control our emotions.

Have you ever been asked the question: If you had to create a soundtrack for you life at this very moment in time what would be on it? This isn't to be confused with a soundtrack of your favorite songs, but more the background music to your life as if it were a movie. It is something to think about especially if you are to be completely honest with yourself.

After some thought here is my soundtrack (keep in mind it isn't in any kind of order):

1. Dream by Priscilla Ahn
2. Tied together With a Smile by Taylor Swift
3. Falling Awake by Gary Jules
4. Billy S. by Skye Sweetnam
5. This is Me by Demi Lovato
6. B**** by Meredeth Brooks
7. Some Day My Prince Will Come by Snow White
8. Tamahana by Te Vaka
9. Disturbia by Rihanna
10. Hum Your Favorite Hymn by Child song Book
11. Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cindi Lauper
12. As I Am by Miley Cyrus
13. I Was Here by Lady Antebellum
14. My Last Breath by Evanescence

It is a lot harder then it looks to come up with a soundtrack for yourself, but when you are done you can learn a lot about yourself and what you are currently feeling and going through. I am sure that if I were to ask my family or friends to list what they thought should be on my list it would be completely different. That another great thing about music is that it is different for everyone and is constantly changing. What is on your own soundtrack?
