Inspired

So Erica inspired me to share how I think different conversations would go with family and some friends thrown in. Although I may not be as brilliant as she was in her completely original and sadly true post.

*ahem*

Me: *bawling* I'M DYING!

Erica: *rolls eyes* Quit being so dramatic...I am dying before you and do you see me bawling?

Everyone else: *mass hysteria*

The End!


BAHAHAHAHA Epic isn't it?



All in all I think I did a pretty good job.

Not so Merry Xmas

Well holidays always make me wanna die anyhow, but today was extra special. I was doing a random survey on myspace when it asked a simple question. If you had 3 months to live, would you be scared?

Well origionally I said no, then I started thinking, I'd only be scared if everyone knew I was dying but noone really cared. Then I started thinking of sitting my family down and telling them that i had 3 months to live. Which of course led me to start imagining thier reactions, which inspired this gem of a script.

It is meant to be funny, but if any members of my family are insulted, well then that prolly means its truer than i intended it to be, so no apologies either way.

Me"Ok guys i've got 3 months to live"

Cousins: "Oh im sorry, that , you know, sucks. Umm well we're gonna miss you"

Sister1: "I'm want your ipod"

Sister2: "Pikachu!"

Brother1: "Die you Motherf*cker!!! Aw man sorry i have no idea what ur talking about i was totally pwning this noob on COD. Whats the deal?"

Brother2: "Darwin would call this survival of the fittest, you see when... (keeps talking)"

Gma: "You know what? We should have a party before she leaves,you know get everyone together one last time"

Aunt 1: "Well the girls have school and thier dancing so we're pretty much booked till the end of March"

Me: "Uh yea ill pretty much be dead by then"

Aunt 2: "And my kids have soccer, music and art so we are busy as well"

Gma: "Well maybe just a small lunch on sunday"

Aunt 1: "Choir practice"

Gma: "Brunch on saturday?"

Aunt 2: "Soccer games"

Gma: "What about on Erica's brithday, thats usually a good time for a party?"

Family (in unison): "When's her birthday?"

Gma: "Hmm, good point. Well i guess no party then"

Dad: "Whoa i have a daughter?"

Mom: "You know Erica i told you this would happen"

Me: "You mean me developing a random illness that will kill me in three months? How on earth could you have known that"

Mom: "Well i told you not to get sick"

Me: "Right, i forgot, not get sick, didnt realize it was so simple"

Step-dad: "Dont have sex"

Me: "Wait what does that have to do with anything?"

Sister1: "Hey i totally just lost my job!"

Gma: "We should throw her a party, get the whole family together to celebrate her unemployment"

Family (in unison): "Hell yea, lets party B**chs!!"

Dad: " Whoa, i have TWO daughters???!!"

Me: "I welcome death"

...

Sister2: "Pikachu"

CHRISTMAS

Oh yes watching ELF with the parentals is pretty awesome especially when I know like every line of that movie.
Fun day today with opening presents and seeing friends and making awesome memories and the day isn't even done yet!

BAM WHAT A YEAR!

Let it NOT snow

Snow is beautiful. Its white and soft and makes awesome crunchy noises when you step on it. But when you wake up everyday and all you see is white, well, snow stops being so pretty. There are stages to the hatred of snow.

Stage 1: Snow is beautiful, a gift from God. It makes everything look white and pure. It's like little pieces of heaven drifting down from the sky.

Stage 2: Snow is pretty cool. Dang that crunchy sound never gets old! Lets make snow angels and have a snowball fight!

Stage 3: Snow is alright. Toes and hands are kinda cold but I'm having fun, just gotta hang my socks and gloves up by the fire.

Stage 4: Snow is nice............. to look at.

Stage 5: Gosh damn it would it stop snowing already!!! I cant feel my toes, my fingers are falling off and my face has been frozen this way for 5 days!!!!

I miss my Seester

Even though Erica can drive me up a wall sometimes and although we have in the past actually gotten so riled up we have physically gotten into some tussles...I still really miss her. I think this being apart is really kinda working wonders for our relationship seeing as we actually are being like most sisters now with talking about guys and how we feel and I am pretty sure if we were together now we would be braiding each other's hair and sharing clothes....If I knew how to braid and if I could fit in her clothes. *sigh*

If you all haven't noticed Erica and I are pretty much amazing on our own but together we are pure awesome incarnate. Okay so maybe we aren't exactly God's gift to humanity, but we are at LEAST a perk I like to think. You know like..."Hey welcome to Earth. To provide you some entertainment while you are here I have provided these two sisters to bring a smile to your face everyday." Yes I am incredibly retarded and I have thought this out. Erica and I have this following you see...made up really of those people called our friends, but for the life of me I can't figure out why they all like the two of us so much so I figured that it HAD to be some kind of divine providence or something. Seperately everyone loves us as individuals, but together we are a powerful force of hilarity that not even we can resist. You wanna test that theory? Meet us in person one time and within five seconds you will totally understand.

Erica I am incredibly blessed to have you as a sister and even though we have ahd our many MANY differences over the years I love you and I always will. Thank you for being my sister!

P.S.-I put only the best pictures of us up...you know...for posterity.

THANKSGIVING

I just wanted to let everyone know that I want them to have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING even if you are in another country you can still have an awesomely happy day!!!! Who needs a national holiday as an excuse to party? NO ONE! That's who!!!! Go out and party your socks off...but in a grateful and thankful manner that you even have socks to party off!

Celebrate all you got in this life, because only God knows how long you will have a life to celebrate with!

I love you all!!!

Erica I hope you found your phone! Miss you!

When in Rome...or La Chaux-de-Fonds

Went to an awesome party last night. I'm sure they are exactly like the parties American teens have but ive never been so i wouldn't know haha. I wore a tiny black dress with awesome shoes cept its never smart to wear heels when there is beer spilled on the floor. I slipped like 50 times. It was really funny to watch the drunk pple do stupid stuff.

I met a lot of cool people there. Everyone was really nice despite my lack of french skills.

Before the party I went shopping with Soraia and her friend. The party had a dress up theme wear you could either come as a disco dancer or a Rock star, so of course i chose rock star but turns out its a lot easier to find Disco things in Switzerland, finally Soraia found a dress and I didn't want to keep looking so i tried it on and it fit so i just went with it. Although i was incredibly embarressed to wear it in public but i figured noone knows me so why not.

Went to a pub with her and her friend as well. Her friend's name is Luis (not sure how to spell it, you never know here) and he has a girlfriend in LA so he speaks pretty good english so it was fun to talk to him and Soraia and hang out. the "pub" was more of a starbucks type of place, a starbucks with a bar that is, but they serve coffee and pasteries it was pretty neat.

Soraia is so awesome, she's very sweet and helpful. I'm glad Lidia introduced us cuz i know at first i was hesitant about meeting her but now i know shes cool so i'm happy. She's caught in the middle of a funny love triangle. It's nice to know people are the same no matter what language they speak haha.

P.S. Boys here are HOT!!!

Best Sister Ever

"haha wow, no nadia i dont sleep with strangers even if they have the voice of a god."

Oh Erica the brilliant and wonderful things you say...I just wanted to post this up for everyone to read and see how wonderful you are to not go around and sleep with strangers.

I loves you!!!!

For arguments sake

I never said that i couldn't handle two children, I said its not fun. And besides your personal life IS over once you have kids. Your whole life is dedicated to them and everything is on thier time. It's no fun, and since you don't have kids nadia, nor are you taking care of any, you wouldn't really understand. Kids are a blessing sure but when you've barely begun to live your own life it isn't really smart to make yourself responsable for someone else's.

And double ew, i really don't want to hear about your friends sexual habits. I am quite aware that pple have sex, but i dont need the mental image thank you.

Seriously now?

Erica having a kid does NOT end life as one would know it...you are so retarded. Just because YOU can't handle taking care of two kids doesn't mean that the rest of humanity's life is over when they reproduce. Honestly now some people are built to handle it and others aren't...you would be in the second category. I for one can't wait til I can have a family of my own. My life won't end at all despite what you may think.

and yes sex makes babies especially when two married people go at it like rabbits. Sex is a natural part of marriage...it happens and in some cases often. What are they teaching kids in sex-ed these days? HAHAHAHA JK

So I am painstakingly aware that I have no life outside of my laptop. Honestly I know it is because I am not in school right now but really lifeis so tedious when you don't have work or school to occupy the mind. I would hang out with friends but they all have LIVES and who wants to put asidet heir life just to humor the sad lifeless mass that is now me? Okay so my friends would and have actually done that for me so I shouldn't put it that way....it is more like I won't let them do it.

I need to do something with myself and soon.

Super DUper weekend

Firstly let me say ew. Nadias freind is pregnant and you have no idea how much i didnt want to know that. For 2 reasons. One: I really don't need the mental image that one of her friends had sex, i mean really? ew. and Two, the GIRL (and i stressed the GIRL) is barely older than I am, and its just wierd. She's not letting herself have a life, now the kids gonna be her life which if you read my earlier post, its not as fun as it seems.

Ok now back to my awesome weekend. written in the style of the FML blog, sorta. i was reading that blog and it sorta sticks with you.

Saturday (times are approxomated)

1 pm: Bought a ticket to neauchatel, boarded a train, sat on said train for 20 mins, realized i was on the wrong train. FML

130 pm: Ended up in Neauchatel anyway so don't FML, walked to Gen's (my aunts best friend) MANSION (and i mean litterally MANSION) She asked me if I"d stay with her for the weekend, so of course i said YES!!

230 pm: Gen and I go to a local "mall", but turns out theres a huge promotion and everyone in the city is at the same mall. The stores we went to didnt have the calender Gen was looking for FML

245 pm: Bought some apples for some apple crumbley and then found said calenders (even when the clerk said that they had none)

320 pm: Gen drops me off downtown. I got to see an art gallery that looked like a guy threw a lot of paint on some paper then made it look like mountains or houses, it was lame. FML

330 pm: Went to another gallery that featured pencil drawings. Now THAT was cool, they pictures were bigger than me and it was all a pencil drawing, of wierd things like the orchestra on the titanic being swept away into water and some naked pple in bed but thier heads werent attached to thier bodies, it was nuts!

345: Went to the antique book shop that i was dying to go to. Bought a book on Bacon, Francis Bacon, its amazing.

400 pm: walked down to the shore of the lake and found a random pier. Went walking on it to see snow in the Swiss Alpes. Took some pictures, but decided it was cold and decided to walk back to Gen's

430: Got lost on my way to Gen's FML, found great views of the city and also learned how to get to gen's house from now where. Plus I found this awesome sign that cracked me up. It was graffitid but still.

500 Pm FInally get back to Gens, clean myself up a bit and we both go to an Orchestra/piano concerto. It was amazing, there were only 17 pple playing total, and 13 of them were kids from ages 15-18. The best music I've ever heard in my life.

600 pm: walk back to Gen's but step in a giant puddle. FML. After that we just had dinner and talked in front of the tv (which had an opera on) then went to bed

Sunday:

900 am: Go to church with Gen, its all in french but i dont mind. They had real wine for the communion. ha! awesome! cept its tastes gross, oddly i think i like grape juice better.

10 am: We go back to gen's house and her daughter in law and 2 grandsons are there. The daughter in law is from Canada, so she spoke perfect english so it was pretty cool. THe little boys were adorable, but shy of me.

330 pm: Basically spent a lot of time with Gen and the boys while they talked and played, so at 330 Gen and I went to an Opera concert where the childrens chior accompanied two proffesional Opera singers (who were married to each other. wierd) The opera singers where friends of Gen, but wow, the kids were ok but the opera pple, were awesome, gave me chills.

530: Gen drives me back to Chaux de fonds and at the same time that we arrive, Andrea and Family arrive. FML hahahaha jk not really FML

SO basically it was an awesome weekend. Life is good, well sorta, alomst kinda, well i might as well say it FML!

YES

I will GLADLY accept Gerard Butler as my birthday gift...oh the things I would let the man do to me hahaha

Just wanted to accept the gift and everything before the offer runs out...Oh Erica you know me too well!

OMG one of my best friends is PREGNANT!!! She is due next July! We are hoping the baby is born on Harry Potter's birthday because come on that would be awesome! She already is craving food...liked mashed potatoes, she has to pee all the time, and she is grumpy....isn't motherhood amazing???

The youngest sister's Birthday is today and we celebrated with cake and going to Mesquite to eat at the Chuckwagon Restaurant...I can not believe she is 13 years old!!!!!! She is almost as tall as me...okay she has a few more inches or so but still! I love her haha

Oh and apparently my parents are older than Monday Night football and Sesame Street and something else but I forget what it was that the siblings were saying. I am surprised the parentals let the little ones live after saying that...

Just for you Nadia

A little belated (ok a lot belated) B'day gift

Why don't we just dance?

Its a very good question I think. WHen you have problems? just dance, its simple, its easy and it makes you feel so much better even if you dance like a complete spaz. In fact if you dance like a spaz, i think it makes you feel even better than if you dance well.

Life is wierd, even when it seems like you have a charmed life, its not always true. You can have tons of blessings and still be miserable. I should know, I'm sitting up in my own room on my own floor that has my own tv, computer, bathroom and even a foosball table and yet, I'm not happy.

I'm happy with what i have but not with how i spend my days. I know that if i really wanted I could do other things but simple fear holds me back. Also, I only have 2 days of the week to do as i will, the rest are spent watching the girls.

Parenthood is not for the adventerous. Its repetative, the same games, conversations, tv shows everyday. The worst part is there is no time for yourself, and if you're a working parent its even worse, I don't see one minute of the day that Andrea spends doing something she likes to do, evrything is either work, or kids. Where is the fun in that?

I've always been back and forth with having kids and now, I don't think i will. Kids arent fun, they are work, you have to clean up after them all the time, make sure they are doing what they are supposed to, and if thier homework and chorse are finished then you spend the rest of the time keeping them entertained.

Sure they are cute and they say the darndest things but i really just don't see where the parents get the pleasure of parenting from.

I'm not saying i don't love Charlene and Flor, they are great kids, but taking care of them during the day is hard work.

I had some me time today, downloaded a bunch of new songs, and danced away, also cleaned my room, and my bathroom, they both look so purrty now. I found a bag full of candy in the bathroom cupboard tho, it was gummy bears and gummy worms, so i kept it of course, but still strange to kind in your bathroom.

P.S. I love you Sister!!

P.P.S. I love someone else too!! hahaha

Brilliantness Squared

Erica totally is no longer poaching internet off of a neighbor anymore...at least that is what her facebook said not too long ago.

I for one am NOT missing Disneyland around Halloween time because I WENT!!! I even got on the Space Mountain ride when it was all scary..and let me tell you it was SCARY...ish....okay only a few parts were hahaha but really it was BETTER than plain ole original space mountain which is pretty impressive anyways but WOOT for the Halloween version. Disney never fails!

Got a new bank account today because my old one had been HACKED and those buggers STOLE what little money I had....ugh I hate those stupid peoples who would do that, but the banker was cute who helped me so it totally made the whole process worth it hahahaha.

I really think I need to get out and date more...I feel like a old hermit living in the bat cave called my room. Seriously if I was a Vampire the male species would be my sunlight or if I was a werewolf they would be my silver bullet (like the analogies???)

Well I am off to make some hot cocoa or Apple Cider.

Ma seour

Ahhh Happy halloween, I havent written on this in forever!!!

so basically halloween was a bust i went to the ranch for the weekend with Julie, our cousin.

We played a ton of games but i had french homework so we did a lot of rench crap, which is what im here for dur but still no bueno.

I miss disneyland at halloween time, its the best time next to xmas.

One of the horses here is pregnant woop and another might be, who knows haha

idk how much im gonna write cuz im poaching internet off a neighbor.

Well, i miss you sister and cool beans about the music and photography stuff

MISSING YOUUUUUUU!!!!!

hahahaha wow I don't know why but for some reason when I read that title I imagine someone singing it...magical really! I guess I just wanted to post on here that I am OFFICIALLY changing my major to Photography AND music....that is right people I am going to be a musical photographer. Way to pick two majors that are both hard and hard to get jobs in hahahaha but hey it makes me happy and I would rather be happy and poor than do some job I am really unhappy with. If all ends up in the crapper with those I guess I could suck it up and teach...bleh...

I flew...

Yeah ironically after my last post of flying today i flew....straight into the gorund after i tripped on a kitchen stool. Want to know what flying got me? A sprained wrist AND elbow....that is talent right there! Yeah after I was done crying I actually got excited because i have never done anything like this before and now i cna have a cool story or at least be able to say i sprained something...and the pain pills....oooh they are so amazing!

You know what i get for these sprains? Random people helping me out at the grocery store and friends helping me with groceries, AND I am going to go see Zombieland tonight! WOOT!!!! I am excited...but that could be because I am stil riding the waves of that awesome medicine.

I feel like flying

I have always wanted to be able to fly...either with wings or just have to ability to like Superman you know? Just be able to push off the ground and take off into the sky with the birds and the airplanes. I guess I have always put flying with freedom. Swinging is the closest I ever get to flying which would explain my almost unnatural love for swinging...lately I have been dreaming a lot about being able to fly. It isn't that I fly away from everything, I just get the chance to go and fly free for a bit without any worries.

Everytime I push off I shoot straight up into the clouds and I see a sea of white with the sun shining brightly and the sky is this perfect color of baby blue. I play hide and seek in the clouds with birds and butterflies and I feel safe and at peace up there. Like I am finally home. It almost kills me to leave it...one time I even woke up with tears on my face. I don't know what that is all about, but lately I have really been wishing it was real.

whoo hoo

Ugh ive been sick the past two days and i wake up to, OBAMA??? WTF?? oh well, its just stupidity that he was given a Nobel Peace Prize, he hasnt done anything at all to earn it.

France is fun and so is work....ok so work isnt fun. Taking care of 2 little girls is not my idea of a party.

Also, theres a ghost in my room inSwitzerland it breathed at me and knocked on my door and dropped my compute (ok the last one was me) but there really is a ghost, its so freakin scary. it scared me so bad the other night i was crying for half an hour.

Total ther ar 18 pple here at the farm plus a dog, 2 ponies and 4 horses. Kena (the dog), Popeye and Poloma (the ponies) and Katrina and Tiger Lily (the horses, i named Tiger Lily :D)

Epic Fail for the Nobel Peace Prize

Really people....Obama? OBAMA??? The man who has done nothing except send this country further down the crapper wins himself the Nobel over a guy who has risked has worked hard to bring education to girls in places of the world where he could be KILLED for even thinking about doing something like that?! Obama wins because of some cleverly placed words....well in that case we might as well give Dr. Seuss a Post Mortem nobel for coming up with witty lines and poetry! I mean Obama can't even read said words without that stupid prompter otherwise he sounds like some bumbling idiot.
Since when did the Nobel PEACE Prize lose it's value? Oh I understand it lost it's value awhile ago, but really why has it turned into a popularity contest? We should be giving the Nobel to people who have actually EARNED it and not just give it to people who "promise" to do stuff. Now before you start saying something to the effect of how Obama has done stuff and he does deserve it for promoting the idea of peace I got two words for you...BULL and SHIT. Now I am not one to curse or anything so please excuse the expletive, but I am so fed up with him it is ridiculous. The man is turning our country into a socialist organization and the idiots who voted him into office are realizing their mistake a little too late. I completely have to right to complain because ONE it is my constitutional right and TWO I didn't vote for him...I didn't even vote for McCain. I wrote in Romney. Honestly people in this country are a bunch of sheep...not everyone but there is enough sheep out there who blindly follow their public leaders because they are too afraid or stupid to go and figure out the truth for themselves.

Alright I am going to stop venting now....but more will be said later most likely. I don't want this blog to be all political, but really people...Obama?

Not a day over...

You know when people reach that certain age where others feel the need to say "Well you don't look a day over...(insert obscure age here)"??? Apparently I look like I have reached that age. Today while at work a new hire was talking to me and he asked me my age. I told him proudly that I am 20 and he replied " Why you don't look a day over...oh wait you are twenty? Sorry I though you were like 28." O_O Thanks guy thanks a ton. I am only 20 but look 28. What on earth am I going to look like when I am actually 28? Luckily for me the supervisor asked the new hire what he was smoking so crisis averted people I do apparently look my age! WOOT!

Erica I miss you very much and NO I am not dramatic...just bored. There is a difference you know...

So I must warn you all that hiking while recovering from a prolonged illness is NEVER a good idea...it could result in fainting as well as lightheadedness for the remainder fo the day. I should know because it basically happened to me sans fainting. Had a date on monday (yes a real date not that hanging out crap that is oh so popular) anyways he decided to take me hiking....now I am not one to be a wuss and not go on a hike, but when the ground started spinning I knew I needed to stop. So we stopped for a bit than continued onwards til once again the ground started spinning and we rested some more. After the second almost faint we went back to my apartment and watched Emma Smith: My Story. HE picked the movie which was pretty impressive considering I have a wide collection of movies that I am particularly proud of. He is a cool guy and I wouldn't mind seeing him again.

Yikes

Nadia is so dramtic geez

Ok so here it goes, Nadia and I have the most annoying, rude, evil, relatives ever, and i didnt even know they exsisted till now. I won't mention names but these people are aweful. All they do is talk talk talk talk talk. What do they talk about, you might ask? well here it goes....

NOTHING!!!

They see a tree, they talk about how great the tree is. They see a bird, Oh look at the bird, omg did you hear about the bird flu? yea it kills people. So does the swine flu. Everyone is getting swine flu now, thats what my friend told me. They aslo told me that mexicans cant get it, oh, wait it started in mexico didnt it? must have been to the white people. Im so glad im mexican. Mexican food is the best. Americans don't know how to live. the french know how to live, oh i love food here, everyone drinks wine and coffee here, wants some coffee? no? well you should. see, americans don't know how to live. omg look at that tree!! Oh! theres a bird! Oh look at the bird, omg did you hear about.....

I swear i wanted to stab my eyeballs out, and they cant see anything beautiful without saying how beautiful it is and comparing it to something else. Its like shut the hell up and look at it your wasting time sitting thier talking about it when you could be admiring it. Shit! freaking crazy people.

Sorry about bad grammer. They just drive me nuts. And half thier facts are either made up or the heard from a friend who heard it from a friend who knows someone who heard it from THIER friend an ech.

So there Nadia, I have said my piece so stop whining!!

Oh so lonely...

Well people sorry it has just been me blogging lately...I know how much you all love me but I also know that you all love reading what Erica has to say...sadly she has jet setted off on her whirlwind adventure in the France/Switzerland part of the globe and she really has been too busy to blog. Hopefully she comments or writes a post soon! I am really missing her and it really sucks not having her nearby. I am sad that I didn't get to see her before she left and it will most likely be awhile before I see her again (hopefully in France!) I am going to be working up to save for a ticket and some spending money so I can go out for a week or something either around Christmas or most likely this summer. Either way I am going to go out there and visit her!!!

on a side note...it is getting colder and colder up here and all my jackets are in California! I seriously did not know it got this cold so fast up here! I am used to it being still pretty dang warm and not ice cold and rainy at this time of year. I can't wait for it to snow though!

Army Guy..come back to me!

My fetch I am such a socially awkward person....totally cute guy in army uniform was at Panda Express tonight when I was there with the FHE hermanas and he was interested in ME (SERIOUSLY) of all the four of us...these other girls are GORGEOUS and I look quite plain next to them in my opinion, but army guy was intrigued by me and I was the one he was watching walk away...Of course I did walk up to him first and start talking to him about what branch of the military he was in (turns out the label is right on the uniform but I get kudos for asking). He seriously seemed surprised that a girl was talking to him. I mean he was pretty decent looking and he seemed like a really nice guy so IDK what the whole being surprised is about. Honestly though I would have kept talking to him and giving him my name and number except the girls were already outside by the car waiting for me and of course I am retarded and I didn't want them sitting and waiting for me forever. AAAGH!!!!!

Someone shoot me please because that will never happen again. I mean I am never going to see this guy again and I actually really enjoyed talking to him and I was shocked that he was actually interested in me. *sigh*

Oh Sweet Purrle!

Oh precious ball of black fluff and claws how you are missed! You went one day outside to play but never returned again. For six years we fed and housed you making wide berth around you when you were in one of your moods. You cat were more than just a cat...you were a way of life an independent creature unafraid to tease dogs or wander from home. Many small creatures fell prey to your superior hunting skills and the other cats in the home always learned a lesson from you when they dared to try and challenge your authority. You nuzzler of ears and cuddler of the night! How your sweet purrs would wake me from my slumber when somehow you managed to stay in my room unnoticed before bed. I can still feel your paws wrapped around my neeck as you tried to get in closer to my ear. How you enjoyed attacking my feet whenever they would move under the blankets! Getting to pet you was a privilege and for all intensive purposes you owned us, not the other way around. You were a proud and fierce cat with a surprising yet rare sweet side....generally when no one else was looking. Purrle I remember the day we got you. Your eyes were blue and you had the most pitiful littel cry ever. As you grew you endured many things like when Erica dressed you up as a jedi and surprisingly that doll robe fit you well! You traveled with us to Moapa and you settled in quite nicely there. I am sad that you are gone, but you are not forgotten! I love and miss you Purrle!
*We had Purrle from 2006-2009. I know I sound like a crazy cat lady but when you ahve had an animal that you have genuinely cared about it is a sad thing to lose them...especially when they just disappear and most likely was eaten by coyotes.*

Woe to the World

I get paid next week and I need food now...ugh going to work means I actually have to bring food to eat and that means more cooking and taking up of my food stores which, since I haven't gone grocery shopping since august, means that I need to go buy some food like...well I would say now but nothing is even open at this hour! Poo now I have to wake up early tomorrow to go to the store and what not. Ugh life really bites sometimes. Okay so I sound like some selfish git...let me explain. I have been vomiting my brains out all day and I can't sleep so I am a bit whiny and cranky. Lame excuse I know but at this point I really don't care all that much.
So today I thought a lot about what I need in a guy...it was brought up because this guy was basically telling me if he had the chance I would be treated like a queen which isn't a bad thing for me, but it really got me thinking. So here is what I came up with for what I need/want in a guy:
1. Good sense of humor but he has to know when to stop the joke.
2. He needs to know how to really listen because honestly I say a lot of crap but only a few things are really that important and they tend to be shoved randomly in the conversation.
3. He doesn't have to take care of me but he should at least want to...
4. He has got to have a future of some kind.
5. Has to be a priesthood holder
6. Now he doesn't have to like my movies or music but tolerance would be lovely.

Honestly there is more but I just can't put them into words. I know when I meet the guy(s) for me that I will just know. Now let me explain the whole (s) thing above...I don't believe there is just one guy out there meant for me. I know that you could make it work with just about anyone if you really tried to so that is why I am leaving the option open for the possibility that more than one guy could be my match. Odd I know but that is how I see it!

Hello peoples Nadia speaking...it was a surprise to log on and see that Erica had posted...it was sad because I have not talked to her since before she left and I guess yesterday she called our Grandmother but I got nada from her. Not even a measly facebook message mocking me for being in sad little America and not Switzerland/France with her! Erica you disappoint me! But I am glad to know she made it over there safely without Janice Dickinson sucking the soul out of her with her over collagenized lips. Seriously that woman scares me as much as Tom Cruise does and trust me I am terrified of Tom Cruise!

I think my job should be a study of the failure of humanity. Honestly yesterday I took some calls for people to help them with those prepaid gift card and it seemed as if no one read the Terms and Conditions for them so of course they tried to use it at a gas pump and than their funds were placed on hold for it. Or they tried to purchase something that was waaaaaay more than their balance and again the funds were placed on hold. Naturally they wanted to kill the messenger (aka ME)..I was on the phone for 15 minutes with a guy explaining that I could not remove the hold and he would have to call back today and request to be transfered. My supervisor was sorry for me because it was my first time taking calls EVER without any help. Oh well he is cute so it helped me pass the time greatly between calls!

So basically I don't have to pay for October's rent because I accidently paid for it online already so WOOT WOOT one less thing to worry about next month and that is money now that I can use for other much needed things...like food. I have enough to last til my paycheck but yeah once the 25th comes around I am going to be in some dire need of sustenance of the food type. Well speaking of food Joey is going to buy me lunch right now before we go to work so I got to go get ready for work/lunch. As of right now I am still in my pjs and not even work ready...being in public is no big deal but there is a dress code at work so yeah sadly I must change. :(

Life is good

Life is amazing! It truly is, I've learned more about my dad and family in the past day than I have in my entire life. Lidia and David are the best people ever. They are the cutest couple I have ever met in my life. Usually the term "cute couple" is made for the young but they have manged to keep that childlike playfulness all these years and it works for them.

David told me that it is hard to imagine me as an adult, I say ditto.

Speaking of ditto, Had a long talk with MAC the other night and got laughed at for saying ditto.

hahah it was nice.

The horses here are Pop-eye and Paloma. They are pains but very handsome horses. Pop-eye is the boy and Poloma is the girl. They arent trained yet but they do come when they think you have apples.

Yea and Nadia should feel like such a bum for not coming to see me. but then again, if she had been there, i wouldnt have had such a good night with MAC so, who knows maybe it was a divine intervention

Sad times in the Happy Valley

Sad sad day...yo soy muy triste....very much so because dear Erica is leaving to Switzerland on Monday from California and I am here in Provo not able to go and see her before she leaves...she isn't going on vacation. The little booger is going to LIVE there for a year. Probably more than a year. *sigh* Erica why must you leave me?! I totally can not believe she thought about such an idea before I ever could.

Tonight was fun though ; went out with the ward to a service dance thing and danced with special needs people at a Developmental Center by the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. I enjoyed myself and I met some great people in my ward. Sadly none of my roommates were there but we never do anything with each other which is kind of ridiculous considering we live together. They didn't even come to FHE! I of course got eaten alive by fracking mosquitoes but hey it was worth it!

I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW TOMORROW!!! Oh sweet mercy a job interview and I most likely will be getting the job...but anyways the hours will be from 9 to 5 during training and than 3:30 to 12 once training ends...*bleh* at least though it gives me time to be able to take classes during the day. I am going to Provo College tomorrow to talk to the school and everything about their massage therapy program and maybe their medical assisting program. I could start school as early as september with financial aid and everything! EEEEEK!!!!! That is really exciting to me because school is a must in my life...it really really is!

Oh wow

So life in Provo sure is interesting...the weather is a whole lot nicer and the people are friendlier as well! I am way excited for life up here...case in point on monday I jumped into the pool with all my clothes on. Don't worry other people did it as well hahaha it was hilarious really and a lot of fun!
Trying to find a job though kinda stinks cuz I haven't had much luck with it but I know something will come up soon!

Tattoos

I want a tattoo. Actually i want this tattoo that i saw in amovie with my seester.

Its got 3 stars at the base the thunb and the birds trailing up the forearm. It looks so freakin awesome.

Anywho. saw that Harry Potter movie and basically it was a peice of steaming crap. Nothing like the book at all. SUCKED!!! well thats all i gotta say, cuz i havent done shit lately, just sat at home.

Oh! Sims 3 kicks ass!!

Footprints

I realized this weekend that we leave footprints wherever we go whether we know it or not. I was at Huntington Beach this weekend with the Ward at a Multi Stake event and Shelly and I saw some dolphins and right after I looked down at the shoreline and I saw this trail of footprints and I was reminded of that story about the man who looks back at his life and he sees two sets of footprints and on the hardest parts of his life he sees only one. It was during those times that he learned that Christ carried him. Call me cheesy but I always see that story with a drawing of footrprints by a shoreline and BAM there it was right in front of me! I just HAD to take a picture of it. I have been thinking a lot about the effects of my actions on the lives of those around me. So many people have told me lately that I am "so cool" and that they are "jealous" of me....what the crap are they seeing that I don't??? What am I doing on a daily basis or saying that affects these people so much? Again somehow I am leaving imprints in these peoples lives that I just don't know about! If you think about it the whole idea is kind of scary! I mean what if I make my mark in someone's life but in a negative way? Every action has a reaction...the whole idea of a butterfly flapping it's wings in brazil causing a hurricane in the gulf of mexico kind of idea. I know that the probability of that happening can't really be proven, but the fact that one small action on my part can move someone in a big way is thrilling yet terrifying to me. I think I have reached a point in my life where I more conscience of my actions and more purposeful in my intentions. I don't want to be remembered as a mean nasty person you know? Who would ever want that????

On another note I have to say that I read my patriarchal blessing today and was reminded of parts of myself that I have lost the past few months. Parts of my personality that I do have and that are great! I have so much in store for me and it can be overwhelming at times but I know that I am going to be just fine!!!

Pills Pills Pills Pills Pills

Actualy I have nothing to say about pills. Whats on my mind today is relationships. What good are they when you are young?

You learn to love people, care deeply about them, but then when it all comes down to it, you know that there are other people in the world that you might be letting go if you stay with this same person.

Don't let anyone fool you, they may tell you its because they arent ready to be serious or that they dont feel the same about you, but the truth is, they are just scared that they will be missing out on something that may be better. Even if they love you with all of thier being they still have that nagging thought that maybe, maybe there is someone else, and of course since they are young, they follow impulses.

It sucks. It sucks on both sides, sucks to be dumped but also sucks to be the one who has everything but wants something more. maybe not wants something more, more like, thinks that there is more.Its also a relief for the dumpee, cuz hey now they too can see if there is something better.

So you tell me, What use are these relationships? Just so you have practice for the future? practice in what? pain? agony? misery? Who wants to feel like that?

Sigh...Im not really going anywhere with this topic, just ranting. But i think, its sucks that there are so many possibilities in the world. how is it possible to just choose one? what happens if you buy the licorice but the realize that maybe the lolipop would have been better? Divorce. haha thats what happens. Humanity sucks.

Wish i were a dog, then it wouldnt matter, whoever comes knocking down the fence is the one you get. or you just get fixed and never have 2 worry about it.

Happiness CAN come in the form of pills!

I got them! Take THAT insurance companie quacks! That is RIGHT!!! I got those pills whether you wanted to fund them or not!!! BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I start them tomorrow morning so I basically got a few more hours of smug superiority over those insurance punks. They can suck my big toe for alls I care!!!!! Yes Erica I am crazy much but yes.
Jenny and Dennis got a wedding date for sure now...they finally got that letter they needed to have and BAM August 7th...the day before the YSA conference....shiz dude I am going to miss the conference...the thing I have been looking forward to all summer...the biggest coolest thing that was going to happen this summer and now...oh well I guess. Barbara will be coming back to California with me that monday and than later that week the guys are coming out here! BAM!!
Thats alls I gots to says right nows!

Latas peoples!

Wow Nadia...Crazy much? Maybe you need to lay OFF the meds hahaha jk jk, actually maybe they should give them to you, you are going a little off your rocker hahaha.

Anywho, Nada and Coltan, Coltan and Nadia, i say it as if such a thing exsists. They have the most retarded relationship I've ever seen. Its really not as complicated as the boy is making it out to be. You like my sister, you go out with her, and just her. If you don't like her then stop playing around with her emotions. See? Simple.

And yea Nadia's car broke down, and its no big deal. Inconveneint yes, big deal? no. Nothing to whine about. Besides its a piece of junk anyway. A new car would be infintismally better.

Blasted Car!

Well Peoples the trip to Idaho was a massive failure...I got to the top of this hill going into Moapa Valley in Nevada and BAM the car dies :( My stepdad had to come get me and we managed to get my car to the mechanic and than to my mom's house after that. Turns out I gots to get a buttload of money I don't quite have in order to save my poor baby!!!!! So instead of going to Idaho in the fall I made the executive decision to stay out in California to work and save money for the car AND Idaho in the Winter....I WILL GET TO IDAHO EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!!!! My grandma wants to just get a new car instead...I mean I am fine with that...but a part of me just wants to hold onto my baby until it is really out of commission. It would be just cheaper to fix it you know? But idk I guess in the long run a newer car would be cheaper or whatevers.
Going to the Doctors tomorrow so he can check out my whacked out calf muscle...yes last week was an adventure....Colton gets home, my car dies, and to put icing on the cake my friggin leg decides to go retarded!
I am trying to find the positive in this whole situation and I mean it will come to me eventually, but right now...not yet hahaha I am sure that something will come to me soon though. Erica probably thinks I am being a big baby...and she is right but hey after the week I had I think i kinda earned the right to order a Wahmburger with a side of French Cries!
It was fun seeing Colton though and getting to talk to him. Erica has some interesting opinions about us but I figure she will write something on here about it when she feels like it. I am glad he is back...I feel weird saying that but I really am glad to talk to him again. We have a date set up for the next time we can get together...which will most likely be really soon ;)

OH! and another thing...I flipping HATE HATE HATE insurance companies! I mean I need this medication right? But OH NO! They don't approve and NEED to know if I really am in such a state that requires medication....one look into what I am dealing with and they would be BEGGING for meds. Flipping jerks...what right do they have to say whether I need it or not?????? ARGH! Let us all boycott the insurance companies..they can suck my big toe for all I care. Just give me my meds!!!

Jealousy is a funny thing

Like how Nadia is jealous that her dog loves me and not her hahaha I love little piper. She basically like a baby. She so small and cute and cuddly and look at that face! who can say no to that? hmmm? Only a heartless person.

She's my Hyper Piper, Monkey, Imp, Booger Breath baby! haha

Anywho, I think I'm going with Nadia to Idaho, Wanna know why? Cuz I-Da-Ho hahaha bad joke. SO long as we get back Saturday, cuz I have ANOTHER thing to go to. My family, sans Nadia, is going to Bryce Canyon with our trailor, It will be my first time in the trailer. Yes, you heard that right, I am a trailer virgin. I think Bryce Canyon is in Utah but im really not sure. Apparently the campsite is "cut out of the trees" but who knows that coulde mean they cut down a shitload of trees then said "HEY!! Come park your trailers here!" Who knows really.

And Nadia knows exactly what i mean by "ring". but here let me clarify. I'm waiting for the news that Colton has proposed and nadia has an engagement ring. That make more sense? cuz i was afraid i was being too subtle. hahaha but idk boys are wierd and scared of commitment but who knows, it could happen.

Haha listen to me saying BOYS are scared of commitment haha now THAT is funny. Hypocrite much? I think so.

Good Grief Erica

Okay so basically Erica is retarded (although I still love you!) and she has no idea what she is talking about when she talks about rings...silly girl!!! I am going out to Nevada tomorrow and than on thursday I will be heading up to Idaho and on friday is VISIT DAY at BYU -I (WOOT WOOT) and than I am coming back down on saturday and than going home on sunday!!!! I am very excited about this whole weekend.
Going slip 'n sliding tomorrow night which will be fun and I will put up pictures from it and the idaho trip! I hope to make it up to Idaho by 7 on thursday because than I get to help Barbara in her floral arrangement class! They are doing wedding arrangements and we want to get our practice on before jenny's wedding!!!!

all in all life is good people! Erica....goodness gracious poor Piper is MOPING around the house ever since you left. My dog LOVES Erica and since Erica was feeding her chips while she was here (GRRR) Piper is now not feeling like we love her even though the cousins came over the past two days and the played non-stop with her. Erica ruined my dog!

Contributing

Apparently i am not a contributer to this blog...therefore i contribute this:

As you've read, Nadia's long lost lover (ok fine her "friend" as she calls him) has returned from his mission slightly earlier than expected. So yea, don't really know what to write about it tho, Nadia knows him better, my only thought on the matter is when am i gonna see the ring?

hahaha Nadia's gonna kill me for that but im all the way in Nevada so :P hahaha

Oh and speaking of Nevada, i am in Nevada and let me tell you its a freakin wasteland. Blah. but i love it!

I just played 3 hours of Wii with my lil sibs and that was well interesting, they ganged up on me and whooped my ass! Good day today.

The Return of a friend!

Well Colton is back home now and it (although weird) is good to talk to him. I am going to do all that I can to help him...he is my best friend and always will be. He already is doing a good job raking himself over the coals without anyone else adding to it! I love this kid and I will support him with whatever he chooses to do now. Whether it be going to school or staying at home.

On a sidenote I had to take measurements today for Jenny's wedding....Bridesmaid dresses being handmade...how cool is that?! I hope that they don't see the numbers and go "gee I don't have enough fabric for this one." BAHAHAHAHAHA With running and cardio classes starting next week I have a feeling that it will work out fine though and I won't feel like a whale next to the other girls who are actually very skinny....blah!

Erica might go to BYU Idaho Visit day with me this weekend and I am really excited about it! ROAD TRIP! Just the two of us (if she goes)...it will be epic and HUGE! She really should start contributing to the blog...because so far it has been only me.....XD

So here's the deal...

As you people (all one of you) that follows this blog may have noticed (okay so maybe not because it is three in the morning right now) ANYWAYS I am no longer "alone" on the blog...My sister has joined me and as she chokes on her spit I am trying to spell properly and she can't read any of this at all...pretty amazing eh?

WOW this is really hard to type when she is reading everything that I type...talk about pressure....hopefully ( spelled hopefy XD...) we don't cause this blog (Erica needs to learn how to read) to explode. Okay I just snorted for the second day in a row and that NEVER happens...I stress the never because it is important...flipping erica....*grr*

Now she has the hiccups (almost spelled hippucs) and I really need to pee and the laughing is making me almost pee my pants...for reals dude. I think I need hooked on phonics (Erica pronounced it whooked) because I CAN NOT spell...emphasis on the large "can not". It has taken me like....a lot of time to type just the above because I have to keep going back and correcting my mistakes.

Lets just blame all this retardedness on Erica and it being now 3:20 am. Sounds good to me!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!

Happy Independance day everybody!!!!!! I hope everyone had an enjoyable and safe time because I know I did! I went up to my cousins house in Friendly Hills and basically sat around until the big firework show on the golf course. I was kinda sad and missing the fireworks in Moapa though because those are some good times at that firework show!!!!!!

I have to express my love and gratitude for the armed forces who ahve fought and keep fighting to keep our country free! We must never forget the sacrifices they have made for all of us and let us not forget that we must keep fighting the keep the freedoms given to us by the Constitution. We are in the land of the brave and the home of the FREE!!!!

Yippee!!!!!!

Nowhere else have I found a group of people where I can talk about Jaffers and dodos! bahahahaha I haven't laughed so hard in the longest time and I am really happy now with the new group!

I am watching Fun with Dick and Jane right now with my sister and I realized I totally have this major obsession with blacklights and neon colors and I really want to totally work somewhere with those things!
I had my first Klondike bar today and I have to say I was extremely disappointed by it...not at all what I expected and I wouldn't EVER do anything for a Klondike Bar...well only if it was something I actually WANTED to do..like eat the thing...XD
Well I have to go get ready to go see Ice Age 3 with the hermana Erica tonight....gotta look pretty for all those boys who can only look but not touch!!!!!

Transformers...

Saw the midnight premiere of it and LOVED IT!!!! I would totally marry a robot if I could...oh yes I would! Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are the HOTTEST robots ever! Erica and I did realize that the Twins are totally us in Robot form....XD

Overall though the movie was brilliantly epic

MAR VISTA WARD RULES!!!!

It is crazy fun and I LOVE my ward!!! We had karaoke night tonight for FHE and it was crazy fun times! There is some major talent in the ward and I totally am just so blessed to know these people. Tomorrow we are going to the LA Temple and I am going to attend my first Baptisms for the dead!!
I seriously am making fast friends and it is just so amazingly fun to go and spend time with all of them. I forgot how wonderful it was to be close to others who are members of the church and I am so glad that my Heavenly Father has helped me to open my heart and make friends. I have been praying for it and I am glad that he has let me see that in order to make friends I must first involved myself in the ward and show that I do want to make a connection.
This summer we YSAs in California have been called to attend a Young Single Adult Summer Conference on August 8th and 9th....I am going to attend the temple at least three times this summer and I am going to be opening myself up to less active sisters members and nonmembers in order to get them to come!!!!! I invited Charlie to come and several MGs are going to be attending which will be fun to meet them!
I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She Doodled on my drawing!!!

I LOVE WORKING WITH KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So tonight while watching the kids whose parents are in the PIQUE class at the school..I was drawing a picture and I turned my back for two seconds and this two year old girl decided that she needed to draw curly cues all over it!! She was cute though and she andthis other girl had me playing puzzles for and hour and a half.

It was so stressful today because I got to work and ALL the fourth graders were missing! I was running around the school trying to figure out where they were..turns out they ended up in the Preschool building because they didn't fit anywhere else. It was sooo funny because the girls were wanting me to tell them stories...and I was but they would be like...tell us the beaver story again!! The fifth graders were not so good when it was their turn in the preschool building....ugh they were a mess!!! But I have hopes that tomorrow the fourth graders test first and THAN I get the fourth graders the rest of the day!!!!

I NEED TO GO TO THE GYM!!!!! I will tomorrow....after I got to the Photography lab...again....I hate that my camera is not taking pictures on the film! GRR!!!

Staff Appreciation Day

Today was completely awesome...there was Staff Appreciation Day at work and they fed us food. I won a raffle!!! I got this really pretty brown necklace...I never win anything and today I won something!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also found out that I get to have TWO fun days next week with the fourth graders!!! So I get to plan two full days of fun and no work for them!!! AHA!!! FUN STUFF TO THE MAX!!!!

Went to Sizzler tonight which was awesome...yep...

Some of my work...

I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY!!!!! Here are some of my favorite Pictures that I have taken...

Jenny and Dennis while her brother and sister in law enjoy their first dance.

My Cousin Anna in the right corner at Disneyland...Ilike it because of the way it looks...it intrigues me.

My dog Piper with her favorite toy...I used a close range shot for this.

Sadness at work

Okay so I LOVE my job and I love working with these kids and all of their personalities...but it has come to a point where BOTH the teacher and I feel like we are getting nowhere with most of the children. They have so many problems at home and most of them really just have no real drive to even attempt at making something of themselves!! It is so frustrating to go in everyday and to try and open this whole new world to them, but to continually get shot down and to keep hitting a wall. When kids are in the fifth grade and they have given up on life...*sigh* it is hard to not lose hope.

I didn't go to work yesterday because I woke up sick (No I didn't freak out and think it was Swine Flu) I just was lethargic and really couldn't move...it was a pj and hot cocoa day! YAY!!!! I am still feeling a little..okay a lot drained...but it ain't going to kill me or anything!!! I will survive!

Flash forward to tomorrow where I wake up dead. Even though technically it isn't possible I will find a way!!! Barbara told me today that there is a guy in her science class who looks just like McGee from NCIS! I told her she needs to be friends with him so that we can drool over him from afar. I LOVE McGee! I love NCIS!!!
I need to work on a list of expenses for my move to BYU Idaho and I need to call the school tomorrow. I got my transcripts sent to them from CSN and I have to wait for the end of RIO's semester to send those transcripts too. I really hope I can get to Idaho in the fall...it would drive me nuts if I had to stay down here longer!

Disneyland!

I hit up Disneyland with Sarah, Anna, and Libby today...good times!!! We had so much fun doing what we normally do! We went after I got home from work...it was crazy fun and I ended up buying pants, flip flops, and a t-shirt...I ended up being drenched on the Grizzly River Rapids...so new clothes were a must. We made so many videos and we totally just had a blast doing all sorts of random stuf around the parks! Final synopsis...this day was epic!
