20 things about me

1.) I actually don't mind going to the dentist.
2.) I never wanted to live in Utah for more than a year...Hello year 5!
3.) I am jealous of my sister but we haven't been as close as we are now. I love her and can't picture my life without her.
4.) I hate Utah drivers. On the freeway, people in the middle lane are always trying to get off. People in the fast lane are going slow and people in the slow lane are going at break neck speeds because of the idiots in the other 2 lanes. Psh...they're all idiots.
5.) I love buying new shoes but I hate the actual act of shopping. Something about hordes of idiot shoppers and clueless employees turns me off to the whole idea of "retail therapy". Go figure...
6.) I hated the years proceeding my mothers death. People thought they had to walk on egg shells around me, my family situation was hell, and I didn't want to deal with any of it. So more often than not, I ran away from it all and found myself either in L.A. or on Long Island, NY. Now that I've dealt with it, I'm in Utah of all places.
7.) I hate being the center of attention but hate it even more when people forget about me.
8.) I like the idea of living in a small town but hate the thought of people knowing everything about you. I like my privacy and I must have the option of showing my true colors on my own time without people constantly watching you.
9.) I don't know if I could ever handle being pregnant and bringing home a brand new baby. It scares me.
10.) I love the fall and wish it was cool/cold enough year round so I could wear sweaters and thick wool socks. I want to spend my fall season in New England and every other season in the Pacific Northwest.
11.) I'm a realistic hopeless romantic.
12.) I feel socially awkward more often than not even though I come from a hugely social family. I come off far cooler than I actually feel most of the time.
13.) I don't want to work for the rest of life but I know that if I don't have something to do, I'll get bored.
14.) I really want to get paid to travel and take cool photos of places I've visited. Some day...
15.) I want to be and do a great many things and often feel that time is running out to accomplish them all.
16.) It makes me smile inside when I get a real smile from Bryan.
17.) I like Bryan...crazy I know. I went from liking his older brother last summer to liking him this year.
18.) I think that the people whom you love most can hurt you worse but also be your saving grace more often than they hurt you.
19.) I hate wearing shoes. As much as I love wearing woolly socks during the fall and winter, I absolutely hate wearing shoes. Give me sandals any day!
20.) As much as I like working with people, they irritate the crap out of me more often than not.

It's Okay to Be Sad

I'm sitting in my room nursing a 7-up because I ate too much cheese with my dinner. Being lactose sensitive, edging on completely intolerant, totally sucks. Sometimes dairy doesn't bother my stomach too much, but I guess eating cheese on a completely empty stomach wasn't the greatest idea but damn, that artichoke and spinach cheese dip was delicious. Was it worth it in the end? Meh..I could go either way at the moment. I just had a memory pop up of my first swig of raw cow milk. It was delicious and totally didn't make my stomach hurt. Anyhow, at lot has been swirling around my brain as of late. Here is a bullet list of the swirling mess: When I left UVU a little over 10 years ago, my GPA was a 1.95. When I came back in the fall I had to fill out a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) report thing to 1.) get my financial aid released, and 2.) promise to get a C or better for the remainder of my time at UVU. Well, I barely got a D in sociology 1010 class in the fa...

Reasons

So, you remember from the last post when I said things were "a-changin'"? Well, they are. I'm moving to Hillsboro, Oregon. ETA: November 1st, but probably November 4th so I can at least finish the pay period instead of leaving in the middle of it. Anyway, here's a quick list of things I bet you didn't know about Hillsboro: *It's near the ghost town of Idiotville, Oregon. Real place. Wiki or google it. *What Draper, Utah is to SLC is exactly what Hillsboro is unto Portland. Almost the same place. *Has AMAZING parks and waterfalls. *All voting is done by mail. Secretly, I'm a little bummed about not getting a "I voted" sticker. Okay, so I could only really think of 4 things that you might not have known about Hillsboro or the surrounding area. Oregon as a state though, is pretty dang fantastic. I'll finally be able to partake in the Goonie-for-the-day festivities in Astoria. While there are many reasons why I'm moving away, the main rea...

Dear Momma

Dear Momma, How is it that you've been gone 21 years today? There are pictures of you that were taken when you were sick that I don't like to look at very often. Mostly because you are noticeably thinner and you can tell that the jaundice is starting to set in. And you look so sad. I think we all look a little sad in those pictures because we knew that the end was near. In my 39 years on earth, I didn't think that you would be gone for more than half of it. I didn't think I'd missing you this much either but there are little things that happen during my day that remind of you. Sometimes those little memories make me smile and sometimes I'm so overcome with a soul crushing sadness that I have to swallow the lump in my throat so I can keep going on with my day. Today, though, I'm sitting in the emotion of wishing that you were here. It sucks. It's completely unfair that you were taken. It's unfair that the doctors didn't find the cance...
