Anything Can Happen, If You Let It :)

Pearla and Kater all dressed up :) ^^

Okay, these past couple of days have been so great! Today is a rainy day. So that is perfect. I am in a completely happy mood. Why? Because the sun is not up :) And the rain is SO pretty. Thursday: I did my scene form "Crimes Of The Heart" in my acting class. I was completely terrified. I love theatre, and have been in many musicals. Overall, I have little acting experience when it comes to reciting lines. I find it so difficult. ACTING IS HARD. Yet, so enjoyable. I honestly would have no worries at all if my professor wanted me to get up in front of the class and sing/act a song. But reciting lines is so difficult for me. You can only imagine my nerves going into overload. Scott, Pearl and Rakul wanted to come to my acting class and watch me. So I unconfidently let them. Julie and I did our scene first. It went much better than expected! I loved having the support of my best college friends there. Krystal did a fantastic monologue. She is such a great actress. She is my next scene partner, and I am so excited to work with her strong personality. 

I seriously am missing this part of my life... 

I NEED to be in another musical. I am auditioning for Godspell (hopefully) here at SUU. My chances at getting a part are very slim, but I want the audition experience. Having Rakul, Scott and Pearl in my class was so great. After all the scenes were preformed, my professor let my guests participate in acting exercises, and they all had a great time! It was one of the best classes I've had all year. 

That evening, we made a trip to St. Geezy! Super fun :) Orange Peel is so good. I got a blonde wig.. eh. I'll probably never go blonde in my life. Ha. Garett W. Smith was there! It was quite fun. We shopped around at DI. Carls and Kenyon also surprised us with their presence in St. George, and we stopped at In-N-Out on the way home. Fran and I had a little argument because he wasn't wearing his seatbelt. DANGER. You should always wear your seatbelt. I just care about your safety, Fran. When we got home... we watched THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. It was a pretty okay film. I wasn't completely scared. Russell came and watched it with us, so it's always good having him around :) Afterwards, everyone went to bed. I went upstairs and talked to Shaner. And then I tucked Kenyon in. I told him a story. It was kind of awkward and adorable. Rakul and I were in bed... laying down.. ready to sleep.. just as I'm about to close my eyes, she says.."I feel like I need to eat a veggie pattie..." So I tried it. I liked it. Actually.. I ate that entire veggie pattie. Raks didn't even have any. So she made another one for herself.. but then I said we should share another one... so... maybe we shared another one. Oh, but then there were only two left... so she just made both of them and we ate them. ahhah. Together, we consumed five veggie patties. We are sick freaks. Something about Rakul and I sitting on my bed, consuming veggie patties at 4 in the morning... talking about boys and other things that girls talk about.. made me extremely happy. I am so lucky to have a great roommate :) Dan called me at 4 in morning, whilst we were consuming veggie patties and said.."I'm SO mad. I just had a dream that we were hanging out, and then I woke up and I was pissed off because there was no Katy Hunter next to me..." Awh. Made my night. Kbye :) 

Katy GaGa

^^ 

Professional pic of Katy GaGa made by Garett W. Smith. 

I've found this face in hole.com website to be thoroughly entertaining. I have been spending much too time on it. I would call SUPERSHANE my finest work. 

SUPERSHANE ^ Ha. Love it. 

Okay, so the past couple of days have been a bumpy road. I am pretty dang positive that I have my classes figured out for next semester. If everything works out I will be taking... Script Analysis, Psyc 1010, English 1010, University 1000 and YOGA. Hopefully, I will be testing out of LM. (Library Media) What the heck, Merlyn? Library Media. i'm sure it will be quite useful. I am so excited for Psyc.. mostly because Pearl talks about it all the time and it sounds so interesting. Pearl is SO intelligent. The other day she told me she wanted to be a Political Science major, but that she is not smart enough. I COMPLETELY DISAGREE. Iloveyoupearl. I completely enjoy any aspect of Theatre. I am so excited for Script Analysis. Today, Shane and I decided to race to the library. I was pretty sure that I was going to win. But those dang short legs of mine just gave right out. So Shane won. Dangit. I tried to rub the statue of that guy's head in the library.. (it's an SUU tradish to rub the statue's head and then you'll do good on your tests or something...) That'd be nice, but guess what? I kind of can't REACH the head. So  if I fail a test.. I guess that's why. Shane checked out a book for me, "How To Do Shakespeare" I would just love to brush up on my Shakespeare :) Honestly, I would just love to write a play. I hope with all of the classes i'm taking next semester, I get the gust and knowledge to be a playwrite for the next 24 Hour Theatre. 

I saw PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 12. Just kidding. It was just 2. I was wicked scared. All night. I couldn't sleep. I popped in The Little Mermaid. Shane brought it to me. The funny thing is, I still laid there paralyzed. haha. I was SO scared. I think I may have even thrown my milk duds in the air. And screamed. What the heck. 

I pretty much serenaded Scott and Rakul today, with the musical stylings of "AIDA" I used my ipod as a microphone. 

I seriously just eat it up when my professors make jokes. Today.. in Diversity.. someone sneezed and my professor said.. "You sensitive to de subject already?" She has the cutest accent. Oh my word. I just love her! As soon as she said that, Scott and I looked at each other and smiled. Our Diversity professor always makes the same jokes with all of her classes. It is too funny! After Diversity, I was informed that in my Communications class our next assignment will be to give a persuasive speech. I have chosen.. "Gay Discrimination is Wrong" It's a pretty touchy subject. But my professor told me not to shy away from controversy. SO BRING IT ON. Also, my professor made a terrible joke.. so I busted out a legitimate courtesy laugh. He ate it up. His exact words were.. "Thanks for the fake laugh...... that's awesome" LOLZ. 

I woke up this morning with concern for one of my friends. This friend happens to kind of be the bees knees! We had a good talk last night. And the night before. He's growing on me, and he makes this really cool drink at the dining hall. I admire him in so many ways. And he's way handsome. WAIT WHAT. 

kbye. 

Let me just tell you, that the Rocky Horror Glee episode left me with complete happiness. The Rocky Horror show is such a great musical. I really hope that one day I get cast in the stage production. I want to be Columbia! I like the fact that people can embrace the things that they don't like about themselves (Like Lady GaGa said)

My friend Chelsie Cravens played this role. She pretty much nailed it. I admire talented actors so much. I seriously just get so jazzed by good acting. I'm preforming a scene from "Crimes Of The Heart" tomorrow, in acting. We will see how this goes.

The best experience I have ever had, was seeing the musical HAIR on Broadway. 

Don't tell me you wouldn't eat that up ^ 

Love really is the answer. 

check that out. 

Today, I let out all of my emotional problems again. To who, you ask? KENYON ANDERSON. Big surprise there. I have no doubt that we'll be friends forever :) He lacks artistic ability, yet his is fantastic guitarist and singer. And listener! And he gave me candy. YAY. 

I skyped with my family today. I miss them terribly. Can't wait to see them in two weeks :) 

Just Like a Waving Flag.

This weekend was almost perfect :) Friday: I had a lovely evening with Karly Tingey. We may or may not have watched 3 hours of Lady GaGa and scary movie trailers online. Followed by Off The Cuff. Which is always hilarious :) I envy the talent of improv actors so much! It is unbelievable what they can come up with, on the spot. They are so intelligent! I have always wanted to try improv. I wish I were more fearless. In many aspects of my life. Lets see, after improv... we went to Dennys. I'll never stop going there, obviously. Blog, I didn't have a fried cheese melt. Karly and I had hot chocolate and talked for a long time. Nick and Ike eventually showed up! Ike left his phone on the highway somewhere... after Dennys, we watched The Exorcist in Karly's room with her adorable roommate. Holy wow. I've never been so scared in my life. And I STILL am. Such disturbing images. Probably the most terrifying film I have ever seen. Ever. Okay, so after that.. I slept for about a total of 12 minutes.. then it was time to wake up and head to Vegas! You can only imagine my exhaustion. I slept in the car, off and on. Once we reached St. Geezy, we hit up In-n-Out Burger omg-yum. with GARETT W. SMITH. He decided to spontaneously come with us to Vegas! We listened and talked about music... and eventually.. we were in Vegas! The Bite Of Las Vegas, that is. There is a bunch of food and bands play! We met up with Kenyon and his friends. I really liked all of his friends so much! Vegas was awesome. There was lots of gross people, a giant blow up cow, smoothies AND amazing artists singing. First, we saw The Plain White T's.

Ohhey. Look. They are in PLAIN WHITE T'S. lolz. 

They had fantastic stage presence. I think an artist definitely needs that to be an all around fantastic performer! The lead singer was kind of a babe. Nick knew I would think he was cute... 

Okay, so after Plain White T's... we saw K'naan! The guitarist was a beautiful man. K'naan was extremely talented. I found myself dancing to his music.. UNCONTROLLABLY. I didn't even want to dance. I just did. I noticed that when he sang that popular song of his.. the waving flag one.. everyone in the crowd was SO happy. I saw every single person smiling and looking at each other.. and just loving all of it. K'naan even says.. "LOVE IS THE ANSWER" I completely agree. To see everyone's happy smiling faces was so great. It was just a feeling of total happiness. I forgot about all of the negativity in this world and within our relationships, and just had a completely fantastic time. I wanted to put my arm around every single person that was there and just love them all. Okay, so after K'naan.. Sara Bareilles decided to grace us with her presence. She was singing SO well. She played the piano like a boss, sang extremely beautifully AND had so much stage presence. She looked at the audience and smiled at us the whole time. She is such an inspiration to me. Some of my long term goals, are to play the piano... AND learn a second language. Preferably Spanish. So I can speak to my beautiful cousins. Speaking of which... 

Check out those babes :) i'm probably the luckiest cousin in the entire world. Children are so loving and interesting. Sometimes, I think they are much more intelligent than adults, based on the things they observe. My cousins are so cute :) I can't wait to have my own children one day. Actually, I can. 

Back to my weekend... After Sara, we went to McDonald's. I was not too happy about that. Followed by walking along THE LAS VEGAS STRIP. It was so amazing. I was texting Shane and freaking out! Just because it is so beautiful and interesting. I seriously like Vegas a lot. Shane Brant is my favorite thing about Vegas. I really enjoy big cities. I want to live in one someday :) 

I think I saw this fountain show ^

It was legit. 

Another good thing about Vegas, there was a Peter Lik photography gallery of his photos. The photos were SO beautiful. I really like observing art. There was a wonderful picture of Greece.. where I hope to go someday. And.. a photo of Central Park, which changed as soon as you adjusted the lighting. You could see the park at night, sunset, morning or afternoon.. JUST by changing the lighting. Peter Lik is amazing. Here is an example of his work. But in real life, it is ten times more beautiful and almost hard to believe it is real. 

beautiful :) 

There are sooo many fancy, expensive stores in Vegas. I love to just admire them from afar. I knew Rakul would seriously love it. I love how girly and fashionable she is. I felt good enough to go into the Apple store.. which is where this photo was taken. 

cutenick :) 

Okay, so once we drove all the way back to Cedar, (Thank you Carls and Kellie for driving... you both are amazing) I pretty much passed out right in my bed. I woke up at 12:00, which is a responsibly good hour for me on a weekend. I didn't do anything all morning. Eventually, I got in the shower. I only stayed in my towel afterwords for about 12 minutes. NEW RECORD! I had some quality time with Rakul and Gabi.. when all the sudden... I felt nauseous. I got semi-sick for an hour. Francisco decided to stay in my room and take care of me until I was feeling better. Rakul and Gabi got me Gatoraid AND soup. I'm so lucky to be taken care of :) Fran was so nice. He always makes sure I'm doing okay.

^ Oh that Fran!

I decided to take a nap, when suddenly, I was awakened by the infamous Supershane! He asked me to help him carry some things to his room, so I did. Guess where we went after? Don't say it Katerblossom... OKAY we went to Dennys. And boy was that a bad choice. I hardly touched my food. haha. I guess I was still feeling a little sick. But oh, wait. Did I shove my face in a cake about an hour later? Youbetcha. We'll get to that eventually.. ;) 

While we were at Dennys, Shane and I heard a familiar tune.. but we didn't know who the artist was! I called Mom right away. I knew she would just know. I love you mom. It was "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon. I like going to Dennys with Shane. It is my peaceful time. Actually, anytime spent with Shane is rather peaceful. ThanksShaner!

Okay, after Dennys.. KENNY BEAR came to my room and I was quite relieved to know he was home safe from Vegas. We had some alone time and had a good talk. He always listens. Thank you, Kenyon :) 

We are to the cake part of my blog now... WOW! It was pretty much perfect. Rakul went and purchased a huge chocolate cake. As soon as she opened it... Rakul, Scott, Fran, Kenyon, Carly, Russell, Shane and I grabbed spoons, and ATTACKED that freaking cake. I think there was a moment when I ate it without a spoon? Like maybe just with my mouth? To the cake? Anyway, the cake was mostly gone in about 3 minutes. We passed around a half gallon of milk.. ha. Shane tried to drink some and failed miserably. We were all laughing hysterically and trying to keep quiet hours. I wish Nick and Ike could have witnessed this moment, just so they could see what Juniper really is. 8 people in one tiny room attacking a huge cake. PERFECT way to end my night. Now, I will wait for my laundry to be done, in that oh so sketchy Juniper laundry room. 

Apparently my best friend Samm back at home, has a boyfriend. I love that. And i miss her. 

Check out my parents when they were young hipsters.. and the twins. I love this photo. I listened to Bruce Springsteen today and thought of my Papa <3 

ILOVEYOU. 

Needed You.

For some strange reason, I have been thinking about marriage. I am not in any rush. Maybe, it is this whole Utah mentality. I think i'll marry Dan Lollar. I am not quite sure why I am awake right now. I have many things on my mind. Perhaps, one of the most terrible feelings... is when your dear friend needs help, but you cannot help them. You want so much for them to be happy.  Today. Russell and I went to go look at some art. The gallery place was closed, so we just made do with what we could. The talent of the art students here at SUU, (Including Russ) is unbelievable. I completely admire their patience. It started to rain. And I had acting today. I saw two great scenes performed by four amazing actors. I seriously get so jazzed by good acting. Today was just a peaceful artistic day. I simply love learning new things. I saw my friend Holly, who I miss dearly.

 Karly Tingey sent me such a thoughtful text message today. She is so sweet and calming. Her message really made my day, and I look up to her so much.

dats mah gurl. 

 Dan Lollar has been saving my life recently, ha <3 He always knows what to say. A simple text message or telephone chat with him can make all the difference in my attitude. I feel as if sometimes I take him for granted. Sorry Daniel, If you're reading. Just know that I love you! Speaking with my family today couldn't have made me happier. I love all of them dearly. I have been getting to know Robby Patterson more recently, and I really enjoy him. Gabi is so motherly to me, and she always makes me so happy when I have a conversation with her. 

I made this for her :) 

Today, this adorable girl named Ashley drew me a picture during our theatre class. She is pretty much TDF (To die for) ha :) 

I forgot to show you Robby! Here he is....

No ladies, this is not from a magazine.. and YES, he IS single. Kthx. 

Ohhh SUU. Full of adventure.

I am thinking that I really want to study abroad. I will MAKE this happen. I CAN get stellar grades because I DO have the potential. I want to travel as much as I can. People are too precious and beautiful. I want to know as many as humanly possible. 

I want to go here.... :) 

I want to be that girl that gets to see Ireland. Or something like that. 

I REALLY want to live in Greensboro this summer. I might be able to make that happen. 

Hey family.. if you're reading. I miss you so much. 

Kim... Sam.... <3 

And I miss this. 

Summer. 

Being a Rebel!

I may have titled this blog "Being a Rebel" Because i'm trying to finish my post before my computer dies! Sometimes I lead SUCH an exciting and risky life. K so you're probably wondering what the picture above means. It happens to be my favorite car. Go ahead and talk all the smack on PT Cruisers that you want. But notice the wood paneling. It is classy as hell. I told my good pal Russell that this is my favorite car, and he has been laughing at me ever since. He also said his favorite color is Jesus. Just wait until I'm cruising down the highway in this shaggin wagon! Wait what?  Okay, so I would just like to point out that today was most likely the worst day that I've ever had here at SUU. But who wants to hear about that? I know I wouldn't.  My amazing friends got me through it :) like always.

 DYED HIS HAIR <3 He looks wicked Handsome :)
 Kenyon listened to me cry for a long time about things. I appreciate his patience and willingness to listen. He never thinks any less of me, and he makes me feel like an amazing person every time we converse!  Today I made a fool of myself in my acting class. Currently, I am playing a character that is 26 years old.. and pretty much everyone thought I was a 12 year old. Acting is so blasted hard! Why do we love it so much? I got an A on my Character Analysis. That was completely satisfying! Last night, my cousin Alex stopped by for a few minutes.

 She dyed her hair bright red and was wearing a mustache necklace. I have always envied her style. She just goes for it. In the sense like Lady GaGa does. But, Alex is much more sophisticated, different and refined. I wish to be closer to her.. she is such a strong person!  Speaking of GaGa, I spent 3 HOURS. Not 1.. Not 2.. THREE hours studying her in the library.

 If I don't get a good grade on this informative speech, there will be hell to pay!  Last night, Russell and I watched Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure! It was a fantastic film. Followed by Dennys with Rakul and Scott. Russell is a great dude. He is quite introverted and shy, and can draw like a boss! I have a feeling he was overwhelmed by our strange behavior at such a late hour. Okay.. blog.. I need to confess.. I got ANOTHER Fried Cheese Melt. I think I'm going to Cheese Hell.  Today, I got some really sad news. My dearest Grandmothers is in the hospital. I know that whatever happens, she will be happy. I will try my hardest to accentuate my positive attitude! Family is everything. They will always be there :) 

Megan and Camille are my everything. My whole family is being so patient with me. I love them forever and always :) Moving away has made me appreciate them so much more. I am COMPLETELY lucky to have them. 

After I got the news about Grandma, Gabi immediately hugged me and let me know she would be there if I needed anything. She is so motherly in that sense. I feel like I have another family here. It is perfect and I love it. Shane, Pearl, Rakul, Scott and Fran all saw me crying. They were totally there to help. About 30 minutes after I had made a huge scene, there was a knock at my door. It was this guy.. 

 He left a clever note/poem on my door with three roses. Shane is one of my dearest friends here at SUU. And look at that smile of his. He is pretty much a win! It made me feel so much better and I felt 100 percent happy after his gesture of kindess. See what I mean, I'm completely lucky to have this dude around :) He is like Superman. Supershane! New nickname! I may or may not have stolen this picture from his facebook. 

Skankey, Scott, Kellie, Rakul, Fran, Pearl, Shane, Pils, Gabi, Kenyon... What would I ever do without you. 

 Sophisticated Ladies.... ^^ 
Sometimes I just look at them, and can't even comprehend how perfect they are. 




Tomorrow, I am wearing purple to support the homosexual suicides.
I am also giving my Lady G presentation. 

Today, Garett called me just to check up, how sweet. 
It is always perfect hearing from old friends. Ike, Nick, and Shauna :) 

Missing you <3 

My girls for life! 




Nicholas.. if you are reading.. I appreciate your humor and willingness to accept my HoRrIbLe TyPiNg At TImEs. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! <3 

And Daniel Joseph Lollar, 
STOP BEING SO CUTE. 
Kthx. 

Silence speaks loudly.

I'm really feeling quite strange at the moment.  I am surrounded by a million people that I love, but I am feeling completely alone.  Tonight, my sister Camille sent me a picture of her in a bright purple wig.  She looks so beautiful.  Her and Megan are so special to me.  I am missing them terribly.  Lets see.. well, I went to the RHA office to visit Kenyon, and ended up improving on the piano with Pearl.  It was fantastic.  She feeds my musical soul :)  We took a walk to taco bell, and Nick paid.  All of my friends here at Juniper, totally ate him up.  And I am SO glad.  Afterwords, we took a drive to discovery park.  Nick and I had a good chat.. we found ourselves having to pee extremely bad.. so we took a walk to DEL TACO.  Yeah.. more tacos.. lets stop.  And as we were leaving, the guy that worked there said.. "The floor is wet... so.. SLIP IN SLIDE.. WHOOOOOO!!" It was hilarious.  I guess you had to be there, but it was so funny.  Probably the best part of my day, was when Russell took me for a drive up the canyon.  We parked at a simply idyllic spot.. and we watched the sun go down over Cedar City, and just talked about the most interesting things.  I want to start writing down my dreams.  Russell is so great to talk to.  We even saw a shooting star!  There was a moment of complete silence.. and it was SO pretty.  Russell and I could both feel it.  It was perfect.  So perfect!  I came back to good old Juni, and remembered that it was TrUe TbIrD NiGhT!  You could say that Nick kissed me.  It was unexpected and sweet.  I loved it.  Dennys afterwords, of course.  Diet Vanilla Coke.  I am really missing Francisco.  I hope he is doing well.  Rakul is the only person that I know that will wear a bright red, short jumper with black high heel boots to a park.  How I love her.  Nick and I were breakin' it down GANGSTA style.  Some strange masked man gave me a flower in the lobby.  It was super special.  I love that I can talk to Carly Skankey about theatre.  She just gets me when it comes to the acting world.  I admire her dreams and ambition to go for what she really wants.  That is one thing that I wish I had.  Confidence is key to most things. I am content with friendship and lucky to have it with so many great people here.  

Thanks, K.

Maybe it's my fav. college pic ever :) 

So it's like.. Homecoming week.  This whole.. "true T-Bird" thing is cracking me up.  I cannot wait to observe all the awkward teenage hormones in one place.  That is going to be something to see!  The font for this blog is going to be much smaller.  It was a request made by Garett W. Smith.  Lets see... what has been happening in the college life of Katerblossom... I've been studying really hard for my Diversity midterm.  I will be taking it tomorrow!  I have a really great feeling about it.  I have come to realize that the grueling anticipation before studying is terrible.  More so than actual studying.  Studying is actually kind of.. fun. *GASP* I made a lovely trip to the library today with Shane.  Shane has to be one of the most intelligent people that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  I think so highly of him.  I sometimes feel like i'm just not worthy to talk to him because he is so smart.  He's just a well rounded dude.  Kudos to you Shane, if you are reading. I feel much better when I am studying with someone else.  Being alone seriously depresses me so much.  Francisco's darling girlfriend Alexia sent me a surprise package to deliever to him.  I told him to meet me in the lobby for his surpise.. Once he found out it was from her... he got the most honest beauitful smile on his face.  He was so genuinely excited.  I know this sounds cheesy and stuff, but couples like him and Alexia make me want to believe in love.. and it makes me realize that love CAN exist at such an age.  Sometimes young love is the best kind.  I don't really believe in love for me.  It's not that I am sad or think i'm pathetic or something.  I just don't see a person caring about me THAT much in THAT way.  And vise versa.  I figure, if you don't look for it.. love will come naturally.  Sometimes it hits you in the face right away... and sometimes it grows slowly. But who knows, really? Love is friggin' weird.  We all have our own definition of it.  Okay anyway, enough with this love stuff.  I would like to mention that Alexia wrote me a letter too and she made a Hairspray reference in it.  Along with the letter, she sent me a carmel apple sucker.  Oh how I love her so much already without even meeting her :) Kenyon decided to just drop by to say hi.  That made my day so much.  Kenny Bear is so sweet.  Him and I just laid on my bed tonight, and talked about everything.  I feel like I could talk to him about anything anytime.  We can laugh at everything.   And he is the first person that I want to share my exciting news with.  If I ever have exciting news. haha. Which isn't often! Garett W. Smith stayed here, at Juniper motel last night.  He woke me up at about 7:00 a.m. tripping out of my bed and falling on the floor... I was asleep... but I found it quite funny!  Pearl had an EMERGENCY.  She totally broke her expander in her mouth.  Shane took us to the insta care and the hospital and they couldn't do ANYTHING about it.  Yet, Scott popped it right back into place in about 5 minutes.  GO SCOTT! <3 Today when I got out of the shower, I only stayed in my towel for about 20 minutes.  That is WAYYY shorter than my usual 2 hours that I spend in my towel, just waiting to get dressed.  Pearl sketched a picture of me in a towel and it says.. "I'm a college kid and I can't afford clothes" lolz.  I love when I wake up, and Rakul and I just get to talk.  It is our special roomie time.  I seriously am so blessed to have found so much love here.  I really truly am.  And to have so much love at home.  I miss my mom, dad and sisters so much.  And I miss Kim, Sam, Dan, Nicholas, Moses and Campbell every day.  To end my awesome day... Pils, Pearl, Rakul, Shane and I decided to go to Dennys.  Shane read lines with me.. he is actually wicked good.  The only thing he needs to work on is a southern accent.  We also came up with sick nicknames for each other.  The good thing about this Dennys trip, was that I didn't get a fried cheese melt. YES.  Finally, the habit is fading!  Blog, I am sooo ready for bed.  The thing is, Scott is asleep in my bed... and Pearl is asleep in Rakul's.  Maybe this is why I love college? hahaha. SO ready for that test tomorrow.  I cannot wait to go home in two weeks, and see Hello Dolly at BHS.  I'm giving my informative speech on Lady GaGa this Monday... so i'll keep you posted on that!  Public speaking.. Yippy! 

My mom text me today and said that there is never any string cheese in the fridge anymore... because she was used to buying it just for me.. but not I'm not there.. and then she called me pumpkin.  That kind of broke my heart.  I listened to the song "Somewhere" tonight, from West Side Story.  The instrumentals are simply blissful.  I found myself in tears when it was over.  Call me dramatic.. but I am so passionate about beauty that we can hear.  Beauty is often something that we see.. but for me, it is even better when it is heard.. :)  I am so lucky to be able to have all of my five senses.  If I could not hear, or sing... life would be so different.  I often question where my passion would come from.  This blog has been super random... but yes.. Thank you, whoever is reading out there :)

Silent Library. Wait what?

Okay folks that read my blog.. here we go!  I haven't blogged in awhile.. I have missed it terribly!  These past couple of days have been quite epic, I must say.  Where to begin.... Okay.. Friday night, we made a great walk to Dennys.  I got another fried cheese melt.  This cheese melt madness really needs to stop.  I seriously purchase one every time because it is so cheap and delicious.  Just cheese.  It's whatever.  Shane got really embarrassed at Dennys because he somewhat hit on a good looking waitress.  I have never seen him so embarrassed.  You could say it was really adorable.  On the way home, we were talking about our first kiss.  Kenyon's story is the best :) He is quite the romantic.  We watched The Ring and everyone got wicked scared!  I just got on facebook and cried some more over the brutal discussion taking place on my wall post.  I decided I'm not going to talk about it anymore.  I did what I thought was right, while respecting others opinions.. and that is all that matters.  The next day, I was awakened by Kenyon and Scott pounding on my window, asking me to go to breakfast.  We decided to go, and noticed our entire campus was infested with drama geeks from high school! (I can say that because I am one....) We all fell asleep to a movie afterwords.  I started cleaning and for some reason, it made Scott extremely nervous.  My family came to pick me up for St. George, and we had a great conversation on the way down.  It was so nice to be with my family!  I love and admire my little sisters SO much.  On our way to Virgin Utah.. aka Sketch City, we passed a bunch of huge houses.  We assumed we were in a polygamy infested area, as I made jokes about catching my very own polygamist one day.  You know, with a net.  That is such a terrible thing to joke about!  We had a great dinner in this nice house rental place.  The only annoyance was that random wild cats would just jump in the window all the time.  Ha!  That evening, my PaPa drove me down to St. Geezy.  I attended the Dixie State Homecoming dance.  I'm not trying to diss on Dixie, but there was so many trashy people freaking out on the dance floor.  It was so entertaining and disturbing all at the same time.  Garett and I kept it WAY classy.  There was even a tribute Beatles band!  You know that I pretty much ate that up.  I even snuck a picture with them! (See above) Garett and I decided to be TRUE REBELS.  But wait, I'm a T-Bird.  Just don't tell.  Ha.  So after the dance, Garett and I walked into the Dixie fountain... and at midnight we shared a kiss.  Strangely, there was no awkward!  Just because we are best friends and neither of us felt anything.  It was hilarious though.  And then I got some chapstick and a cool card that said I was a true Rebel.  P.S. What kind of mascot is that? Honestly... ha.  We made a trip to Maverick for some Red Bull and sour candy.. We jumped on his couch for awhile to Lady GaGa, and then he took me all the way back up to Virgin.  I fell asleep, and woke up three hours later for a six mile hike at Zions for my uncle Kenny's memorial.  We had a beautiful remembrance.  Rest In Peace Uncle Ken :) I'll love you forever!  He was such a musically talented and funny person.  I know that someday, i'll get the chance to know him even better.  I am SO lucky to have such a fantastic family.  After the hike, Maya jumped into my arms and wrapped her arms around me.  I seriously just loved that SO much.  There is no better feeling than an adorable little kid showing you every ounce of love that they have in their body.  I drove back to Cedar with Rakul and her dad.  He was trying to talk to me about the weather in Ogden. HA!  Too great.  Once we got back, in was only seconds before Fran, Rico, Christopher Lima (random but awesome) Rakul, Scott and I were catching up.  Kenyon came in and we sang a few tunes.. followed by Dennys with Shane.  The thing is, I had ANOTHER fried cheese melt.  I promise that was my last one.  My family woke me up the next morning, and I had to give them a tour around campus.  You wouldn't  think taking around your twin sisters, two cousins, mom and dad around campus would be embarrassing... but it definitely is.  It is always nice to see them :)  We left with hugs, and then I went to my classes for the day.  Little did I know, a rendezvous would be happening at the library tonight.  My pal, Carly Skankey decided to bring her coloring book to the library.  So whilst I was coloring my Cinderella photo, she noticed a cute boy sitting behind her.  He was working really hard on his computer, and had his headphones in.  He was basically just a hot mess.  Carly decided to be brave, and after much encouragement from us, she wrote on a piece of paper.. "I'm Carly, what's your name...?" She crumpled it up.. took a deep breath.. looked behind her.. and threw the note at him.  She immediately turned back around, facing me with embarrassment.  The whole situation was so hilarious.. I was laughing so hard that tears were coming out of my eyes.  I seriously could not compose myself back to a normal state... And I was at the library.  The insane laughter went on for awhile, and at one point.. I was under the table for some reason.. her and I had completely lost it.  I'm sure the guy that received the note thought we were total idiots.  The guy that hit Rakul's car and then asked her on a date was also at the library.. we were giggling so loud just because of his presence.  Typical immature girls!  Eventually, I got some work done.  I read a few chapters and made some flashcards! My face got really excited, as I noticed the boy that Carly threw the note at, approaching our table.  He asked which one of us was Carly.. and we all pointed to her.  They talked for a little while.. he introduced himself, and we all talked about our majors and stuff for a moment.  It was so cute that he came over just to see which one was Carly.  I'm sure he was pleased, because she looked smokin! And her shirt even said Skankey on it.  Where could we go wrong with that?  After library, I gave Shane the picture I colored for him.. and then I did laundry!  The night ended with some FANTASTIC conversation with Russell :) He is an extremely talented artist.  He gave me a perfect drawing of his which is now hanging on my wall.  I love my friends and family so much.  I wish Dan Lollar could have been here this weekend, and I am missing all my friends from home.  And Lucy!  But I literally am having a great time.  Thanks for whoever took the time to read this! 

Camping... college style ;)

Currently I am listening to "The Lion King" Original Broadway cast recording.  Oh WOW. I'm pretty sure that nothing can top this saturday.  I woke up around 3:00 pm which is always perfect.  I got ready and decided to go to the dining hall with Fran and Scott.  On our way home, we got caught in a rainstorm.  It was absolutely glorious.. :) Just the smell of rain is enough to send me into complete euphoria.  I caught a few raindrops on my tongue, and ran back into Juniper.  Scott immediately opened my windows and the power even went out for a quick second.  I began jumping up and down by the window, and yelling with joy at the sound of rain :)  We attempted to watch the film "My Life In Ruins"  We ended up eating popcorn and having a tickle fight. Haha.  Scott and Fran are too fantastic.  We then decided to attend a friend's dance party.  As we walked up to the building, we heard some massive loud music... So we walked inside.. ready to get our party on.. and saw three people in an open living room dancing like fools.  It was AWESOME!  We danced for awhile, until I started to feel mildly uncomfortable.. Ha.  We came back to Juniper, expecting the return of Pearl, Kellie and Kenyon! Eventually, they arrived!  We decided we better do something about not going camping.  The only solution I could think of, was building a giant HUMAN fort in my dorm room!  It actually wasn't human, but human sounds cooler.  This was all complete with MICROWAVE SMORES!  We made this awesome fort.  In the meantime.... Kenyon was hiding in my closet.  He stayed in there so long.. and then he finally spooked Kellie AND Francisco.  Eventually.. It was time to watch.. THE UNINVITED.  Kenyon pretty much predicted the entire thing.  Afterwords, we watched Paper Heart.  It kind of made me feel like I'm never going to fall in love or get married.  No big deal.  The comic stylings of Michael Cera are always enjoyable.  After Paper Heart, we all decided to play this game... actually it wasn't really a game.. hahhaha.  We sung tunes from movies and tried to guess what movie it was from... It was SO late.  We were so tired and laughing so hard.  Once 6:00 am rolled around, I walked Fran to his room and we had a heartfelt talk.  I came back and noticed that everyone had crashed in my room.. So I had to take a blanket off the fort, and fell asleep in Rakul's bed.  It was a perfect saturday night. :) 

Cosmic Love..

Lets see... Fridays are always too great.  Especially the one that I had last night :)  I woke up and noticed that my dear sweet roomie was STILL sleeping.  So I said.. "Rakul, Are you going to class?" She mumbled something... haha. She seriously just cracks me up.  I decided to just go to class.. but I had ONE problem.  I hadn't studied for my comm test!  I had a stomach ache all morning because I was so nervous for it.. I rushed to the sketchy Juniper bathroom and quickly ran a comb through my hair and brushed my teeth.. I grabbed my number 2 pencil and got my game face on, as I dashed to the PE building to take my test. (Don't ask me why my comm class is in the PE building.. what the heck SUU?) I sat down and began my test... much to my surprise.. I knew almost everything! No studying needed :) Since when does that happen? Lucky me! After my test, I went to Costa Vida with Pearl, Rakul and Scott. Costa took me back to my high school days :)  We then had to say goodbye to friends as they departed to Provo to watch general conference.  So I knocked on Kenyon's door to say goodbye, when much to my surprise.. his hilarious roommate T opened the door.. claiming that he was naked.  But he wasn't.  Oh that T.  So full of jokes :) I said goodbye to everyone, and then hung out with Scott and Rakul for the rest of the afternoon.  Garett W. Smith decided he would make a Cedar trip and come visit me.. As soon as he arrived, we had to say goodbye to Rakul.. :( I wish so much that she could stay here on the weekends.  Garett, Fran and I played night games with some Juniper friends.. The thing is.. my legs are not very long at all... so I was basically useless during this night game extravaganza.. considering you have to run quickly and things.  I ended up laying next to Garett and Fran, looking at the stars.  Cedar City stars are TDF (To die for) Kenyon called me twice to tell me some good Geology jokes that he came up with... He gets kind of tired of me using "rock" as the only pun with my Geology jokes. But Geology is just so DULL. hahhaha. Get it? Hmm.. Dull like a rock?  I went to Dennys and Wal-Mart again.  I seriously need to stop doing that.  Ha! At some point, we were sitting in the Juniper lobby talking about religion.. when a cute boy that I may or may not be interested in... walked into the building.  We'll see where that goes.  I can talk to almost anyone about anything... but when we throw a cute guy into it.. I never say the right thing! So I just stay quiet and nervous. Oh boys.  So silly.   The night ended with some good ol' time spent in the Juniper laundry room.  Asbestos.... :/
