D8 Night.

I already posted this yesterday. And then it deleted itself.
Let's try again.

First thing is first.

I have a friend named Chad Hogan (many of you may know him from the famous Scottish comedian, Kevin Bridge's  Chad Hogan's Party Act).
Chad loves to hide mints.
For years now, he's put mints in unsuspecting areas for strangers to be pleasantly surprised.
I found these this week: 




A few weeks ago, I met this boy:


Patrick Joseph Hill.
I call him Joe.
He plays guitar. Really well.
He also looks like Ryan Gosling.


One time, I watched him play.
I snapped along....


So this weekend, I took Joe on a d8 in SLC.
We went with Kyle and Claire (hopefully all of you know who they are by now).
We went to Rumbi's.
Then we went and saw Incredibly Loud and Extremely Close.
(I guarantee I incorrectly pronounced the title of that movie, but I don't mind).
After that, we went and got drinks.
It was so gr8.
Kyle and Joe talked a lot about guitars.




On another note,
Emily and I....well, you get the picture.
Can brain waves travel through ceilings? Her room is right above mine.

Care for a story?

Hey there, old friends.

The spring semester has begun. 
Here's a few things I've done.

Threw rotten apples at my roommate's window at night to scare her.
Emily is terrified that there is a ghost that lives upstairs.
She swears that the ghost has said 'hi' to her before.
On a particularly suspicious night, she went upstairs to read in her room;
So Morgan and I decided it would be best to throw old apples at her window.
We could hear her scream from outside.


Read a memoir on my favorite author, Kurt Vonnegut.
This was one of my favorite passages from it. He wrote it himself. 


Wrote a poem.
I had to write an haiku in my English 2010 class about my Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.
I realize I spelled, 'promiscuous' incorrectly.


Had Camie Oka draw a henna tattoo on me.
I've been by this girl's side for the last few weeks. I really enjoy her company.
Yesterday, we had Indian food, danced for multiple hours, and she drew a dream-catcher on my arm.
If I ever need a loyal, 'up-for-anything' friend, I call her.


Went bowling with the good, old Carl's Jr. Boys.
Remember those boys? 
Well, one of them had a birthday, so to celebrate, we all went bowling.
I scored a 124. 
I really think I'm in the middle of my prime bowling years.


Ran 10 miles.
From Hyrum, UT to my house in Logan, UT.
It took me 83 minutes. 
I had Samuel drop me off and he was so concerned that I wasn't going to make it.
Morgan (top picture: very left) and I are running to Idaho (about 18.4) miles by the end of this semester.
She ran 10 a few days before I did. 
Next week, we are running 15 together.
Then a month or so from now....IDAHO!


Almost got a black eye.
Almost!!!
If any of you don't know: I have three things I want to do before I die:
1. Ride a horse.
2. Own a huge truck.
3. Get a black eye.
Well, on my way to go get sushi with Matthew, a dear friend of mine, I was a little to anxious to open his car door.
I was reading a post-card from my friend, Alyson, as I swung the door open; right into my head.
I burst into tears immediately.
Later, as the bruise formed, I wished so badly that I had been only a few inches taller, and I would've been able to check off 'black eye' from my bucket list.
Either that, or I would've been blind.


Besides all that nonsense, a few more words. 

Huge ice puddles are everywhere around campus because of the rain&freezing temperature.
I have been lucky to not slip on any.....yet.


Sam's Christmas present to me finally came in the mail! A new toe ring!
It looks just like the cute one in Idaho that I lost.
This one will never come off.


Emily and I (the twins), decided that for the first time EVER, both of us would wear heels to church.
Once again, we both decided this with out coordinating with the other person.
I don't know how we keep matching like this.
Although, I was grateful to have someone to stumble around the church halls with me today.


Parker McCormick comes home in less than 3 weeks!
Can you believe it?
I probably should've been more loyal about writing him back.....
