Wild Young Hearts

On a scale of 1-10.. this weekend was most definitely a 178303 plus. 

This is why: Ivy and Nicholas came to visit me at my good ol college :) 

FRIDAY: Freaking date night. 

KENYON ANDERSON (My date) Did not disappoint. At all. We had a lovely dinner at Sweet Basil. It was cool because we sat across from Ivy and Joe. We laughed and talked and stuff. Then Kenyon ate ALL of the dinner that we SHARED. Kidding. 

T told the waiter that it was Debra's birthday. It wasn't. Free yummy stuff for us. Ivy and her date had so much in common. Neither of them have ever consumed Coca-Cola before. Eventually.. i'm just going to tie Ivy to a chair and shove it down her throat. I know she'll like it. 

Then we went to WAL MART. We played this one game. You and your date have to run around the store and pick 10 items. Then you and another couple switch carts and return all of the items in the correct place. Kenyon and I were really curious as to why we lost... and why it took us so long to find all of the items. The simple answer was this: Everyone else cheated. Woops. Afterwards, we watched NEWSIES in the loft. (The loft is where your date either puts out or goes home.) 

(But I didn't... ) 

I was surprised when my friend Nick knew every single world to Newsies. He sure can dance like a newsboy! Dennys followed. Ken and I had a water drinking contest. It doesn't sound dangerous at all, but it was. Overall.. Ken was a pretty swell date. I had a lovely time. 

^ :D 

SATURDAY: Trip to St. Geezy was in action. Oh.. but first we slept all day and spent a good 2 hours at the dining hall. We visited Madison and Sarah at their cute little apartment! Followed by frozen yogurt. We also got to see Rakul. AND had a semi dance party in the parking lot. The drive back was the best though. I swear I could drive around for hours and just listen to music really loudly. I also liked being in the company of great friends :) 

Afterwards, I stayed up all freaking night until it was time to go to church. I had such a wonderful conversation with Pearl and Nick. Religion, marriage, babies, dolphins, animal planet and Romance. All of these topics were covered! We even ate ramen noodles out of cups. Yippy :) My precious Ivy was still sleeping! We also watched SUPERSTAR. And hilarious, disgusting cat vids.

^ HAPPY SABBATH! 

I attended LDS church with my friends. It was just lovely! I enjoyed singing with Ivy. It took me right back to those days in choir. I'd be holding my music upside down.. not paying attention.. flirting with the nerdy boys behind me... and she'd just put me right in my place! I fell asleep to 500 Days of Summer. (After another 12 plus hours at the dining hall) Then Ivy, Pearl and I walked to Maverick and got CANDY. Woooo. 

We talked and stuff. Girl time was needed. We watched a perfect spanish film called THE ORPHANAGE. It was wicked scary! And touching. I loved it all too much. We then played PIG MANIA <-- (Use your imagination) 

I had another wonderful conversation with Kenyon. (Not a surprise) Then we started laughing about way dumb things. (Mega Meow Moment...) <-- hmm.

Leaving the dining hall.. I got REALLY tired. I mean.. CRAZY TIRED. 

^ Sometimes trees understand me more than people do. 

MONDAY: Napped. What up. Went to Discovery Park. Visited with Blaine, Brian and Brandon! I absolutely love Cedar Hall North. FIRST FLOOR BABY. Tigers are fun to hug. I talked to T and Debra. I love them all too much. I ALREADY MISS NICK AND IVY. 

Major highlight of my weekend: Skype with the Sissys! And Lucy :D oh.. and Mamma and Papa were there too.. ;) 

^ Bahah. I look like my Dad. You wouldn't know it, but I do :) 

Also.. Megan and Camille get more beautiful every time I see them. Lucky dogs. 

BYE! <3 

I'm Just All Nerves

Oh hey guys! Kate here!  

I don't know if you heard about this.. but Valentines Day is rapidly approaching. 

First of all.. let me just say that I really dislike how everyone always says.. "OMG VALENTINES DAY IS SO DUMB. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE SHOWING YOUR LOVE FOR SOMEONE. NOT JUST ON ONE DAY. IT'S SO CLICHE AND TACKY.. EWWW.." 

Well go ahead and hate on me haters. Valentines day is easily one of my favorite holidays. Riddle me this though.. I've only ever had one Valentine in my life. Why do I love Valentines Day so much? Love. It's that simple. Love doesn't have be shown to just your significant other. Mamma Hunter always gave me a present on Valentines Day. I'd like to look at more as a celebration of love. Love is all around us. If you ask me, there are many different kinds of love. Why can't we just simply celebrate them all? And p.s. What is really so wrong about taking somebody out on Valentines Day? NOTHING. I will be dateless this Valentines Day. I'm completely okay with that. I'm still extremely excited to witness all the love and happiness that will circulate. I actually did get a Valentine present for someone. I tried to get all personal without getting personal. You know.. getting him things that he likes that i've noticed. Not like.. way cool things though. I'm probably not going to give it to him though. To be honest.. I don't think that he'll like it. Or understand it. Or think it's funny. Help me find some courage? Hey.. I never said this whole Valentine thing was easy. OH YOUNG LOVERS OF THE WORLD. Enjoy this day. Or just anybody :) 

^ This little lady came with me to my Tuacahn audition.

Did I mention we look alike AND she just understands me in many aspects? Oh Krystle. I sure do love you!  

Yes, I auditioned for professional theatre. Pretty ballsy of me if I do say so myself. Let me just let you in on a little secret: I've never been so terrified in my entire life. I was too happy to have Krystle, Moses, Madison, Campbell and Garett there for support. I was comforted when a beautiful boy from Maine (James Martin) text me and told me to break a leg. His small message was extremely comforting. I pretty much gave it my all. I am expecting no callback. But hey. Why not reach for the stars? :) 

Campbell really impressed me. He is such a talented dancer. He got a callback for DOODY. <-- Supporting role in Grease. 

I wish he understood that it's kind of a big deal! After auditions, we met up with Kyle and went to Dennys. St. Geezy style. That's always wicked fun :) 

Garett and I came back to Cedar that night. We had a lovely talk, and ended up rolling into Juni around 1:00 am. We did some fun, adventurous activities with the roomies. Oh wait. Then something terrible happened. 

WE ALMOST DIED. 

Rakul started driving up the canyon to "The C" (makeout spot of Cedar) 

Carly, Pearl, Garett, Rakul and I were all in the car. 

When we almost got to the top, we got stuck in the snow. Woops. There was only a cliff leading to our death about 2 yards (or feet) to the right of us. I got extremely scared. Luckily... Pearl got out of the car with me as Garett backed the car down the mountain. I was extremely terrified. Pearl and I felt unsafe in the car, so we ran down the hill in front of it. She grabbed onto my arm so tightly. I only fell about 134895 times. But she was always there to pick me up :) 

I got 4 hours of sleep and then I woke up! 

^ Me actually enjoying the sun. 

It was a beautiful day. It started off by me running all the way to the nearest LDS church in my high heels. My beautiful friend Debra was getting baptized. It was a very positive and happy part of my day. I even cried a little. Kenyon even talked. Debra's boyfriend was there also. It's obvious how much he cares about her. Love really is all around us :) I was incredibly happy to be there for her. Time spent with T, Deb and Kenyon will definitely always be one of the best parts of my college experience! 

The dining hall followed. Including lots of laughs and french toast.

^ Jus me dominating the dining hall. 
(Notice black nail polish... wtf Katy?) 

Afterwards, I said goodbye to my hawt Indian roommate (hate to see her leave..) And my plans to go to Vegas were quickly ruined. It's okay though. Pearly and I went for a bike ride. Followed by Discovery Park with Carly. I actually loved having the sun hit my face. I just laid on a blanket and thought about life and some great individuals. Dining hall again with Pearl and Kenno. I'm pretty sure that I asked Kenyon to get me a cheese quesadilla and fries. Guess what he came back with? Not that. It was a hot dog with no bun and some lucky charms next to it. Sick. But so funny. Then I almost got in another fight with EMANUEL WILLIAMS (Manny) 

Then I went to a lovely play with Kenyon. It was a fantastic piece of theatre. The acting was so perfect. I GET SO JAZZED BY TALENT. I then went to Wal Mart and saw a freaking great looking RA. I also made a fool of myself whilst trying to pay for my chips and dip. (Yeah sick) I ate too much and then decided to mark my territory all over Juniper with Pearl. (Not peeing) James was too cute this evening. Sometimes I wish that the most hip boy i've ever had the pleasure of knowing didn't live on the complete opposite side of the country. It's fine :) Missing all my Ogden friends too much. HAPPY DAY. Pearl is currently snoring like a cute little baby. 

Make You Feel My Love!

Rufus Wainwright radio is blowing my mind. 

I always forget how special music is to me. 

Current favorite lyric: "I might be lazy.. a loner.. a bit of a stoner.. but I could be perfect for you.." 

Let me just say that i've been SUCH a girl lately. Let me also just say that i've realized how much I talk about myself. I wish I wouldn't do that. Ima go ahead and try to not be selfish in conversations. 

Guess who is to blame for my currently effed up sleep schedule? 

This guy. 

Kenyon MARTEL <-- Iiiii Know) Anderson. 

We stayed up wicked late last night. We watched Arrested Development and talked and stuff. I think I like spending time with him because he really just gets my humor. He's a great friend. Today I studied whilst he played the guitar and sang. It was lovely :) He also took me on my first date here at SUU. Recently! 

^ Dolly Parton? 

Hmm. My friend Holly is such an amazing lighting designer. She did this. OH and my makeup/hair. She pretty much did everything except for take the photograph. She makes me feel like a pretty girl :) Thank you for using your talents on me Holly Wolly! I admire her ability to take polite control of a situation. If you were to define Holly Pierce... you would say she's a spunky individual that gets shit done! 

^ He just gets me. 

People that read my blog: This is James Douglas Martin.

He adds cream and sugar to his coffee. He also enjoys Strawberry Milkshakes. 

However, James is still SOOO manly. 

I can't wait to beat him up. 

James lives about  37938247975439574398573497 billion Miles away from me.

I was introduced to him on skype. Thank you Pearl May White. (They are great friends) I find conversations with James to be extremely enjoyable. I often find myself smiling and laughing. I don't believe I've ever met a gent quite like him. I'll be seeing him in about four months. We have this not so list of things to do whilst I'm in Maine. Things like.. WRESTLING CHALLENGE. DANCE OFF. You know.. I can't wait to win at EVERYTHING ;) 

It's really probably a great thing that James doesn't read my blog. Haha. He just makes me happy often, so I thought you should know about him. When I skype with him.. I sometimes get really nervous and talk forever about dumb stories. Kbye. 

^ These classy dames pretty much made my night.

 I went to bed at 7:00 pm this evening.. and woke up at midnight. I wish I wasn't such a champion. I posted a status about how I wanted to go on a adventure. The next thing I know, my two lovely neighbors are knocking on my door. We pretty much just talked about everything for a few hours. Whilst I stuffed my pathetic face with chips. It was such great girl time! Selene and Penni are such beautiful, smart women. They know wassssup :) 

Tonight.. My beautiful friend Emma Jane Phelps said.. "We're all horny and Jesus loves us." I love her. I like how she just understands everything that has happened in my life. Thanks Em! I look forward to a lady date with her. Spending time with Her and Corbin always brings sunshine and laughter into my day! 

^ Look at us. 

Doesn't this picture just scream "OMG I CAN'T WAIT TILL WE CAN HELP PLAN EACH OTHER'S WEDDINGS!!!" 

Gross. hahaa. These gals are too special. I wish I could tell you how much they mean to me.. but I can't. They know how special they are :) I love them for everything that they are. I would never once change a thing. I love it when we dress up like foreigners and travel to get authentic Mexican food. Especially when it's late at night. I also like it when Pearl perfectly cleans my room.
