A Date a Day: The Plan.

For the next couple of days this blog will be better than your favorite romantic comedy. I am going to go on a date a day (or close to it). I recently joined an lds dating site, upon encouragement from my friend... we'll call her Kelsy. She also paid for it, as an early birthday present... which if you're ever wondering what to get someone for their birthday, let me tell you haha there's nothing quite like this gift.

Half of the guys on this site are total odd-balls that are 47, bald and still put up their high school graduation picture from the 70's. Then there's a quarter that just want some action- plain and simple. As long as you have all your appendages and are of the female gender they will make out with you. Then there's the group of what I like to call "life maybe's". They are the guys that are okay to go out on dates with. Remember though, they're not life rejects or creepers... they're just the boys that got swept under the rug of life. Those are the boys that you'll hear about on my dates. (I'll try and get pictures of each of them too).

Stay tuned for Date #1!!!!
P.S. This is more for the sake of my fascination with people than to find my one true love.

Death Be Not Proud

One of my favorite things about summer is that I get to read for fun. So far this summer I've read Gone with the Wind, The Alchemist and now Death Be Not Proud. It's an amazing memoir about a boys struggle with a brain tumor, written by his father John Gunther. It takes you on a journey of a struggle with life and death and the acceptance of both. It's inspiring, while remaining raw and real. Truly a great read that gives wonderful perspective on life. It reminded me that so much goes unappreciated. All the joys of life are so commonly overlooked, it has prompted me to try and notice the incredible and intense beauty that lies all around.

Is this Love?

obbsessed with this song.
It's honesty in chords.
A combo of Jessica Lea Mayfield- a folk singer from Kent Ohio
and Seth Avett. Seth is part of a duo with his brother. There band is, no surprise here, the Avett Brothers. Hopefully I'll get to see both in July. "Murder in the City" is a great song by the bro ho's. Seriously, don't miss out!

"the boo"

I recently got over a case of the boo, more commonly refereed to as the flu. Since the word flu isn't nearly negative enough, boo has been found to be an excellent substitute. Not only is boo more scary, but it is an excellent word to show contempt and disapproval. Since the boo is also constantly "going around"... that makes it sound sleazy... here are a couple tips for surviving it.
1. stay in bed

2.have lots of dvds handy

3.ignore your phone

4. except to call your mother

5. if necessary, see a doctor

6. take LOTS of baths. even though you're still contaminated this will make you feel it a little bit less

7. have great roommates

8. drink lots of water

9. DO NOT drink diet soda, it has aspartame... which severely upsets an already upset empty stomach

10. it's okay to moan in pain

(the) sleazy

Definition of sleazy: 1. verb- to be promiscuous 2. noun-Salt Lake City, Utah 3. noun- poor. Of these three definitions I assure you I only intend to employ the use of two of them.
My journey of almost independence continues with my move for the summer up to the sleazy. I'm living with Alicia and Tyler and I must say they truly are fantastic roommates who cook, clean, have netflixs and a garabage disposal. There is nothing more one could ask for.
My internship at the salt lake art center while incredible and awesome has left me quite sleazy... I never knew how much a burden working for free was.
I start volunteering at an animal shelter next Wednesday and I'm beyond excited!!! I have weird dreams every night... last night it was that their was an earthquake, the night before that it was that Jim from the office was in love with me and left Pam.... they continue, but I'll stop.








The before of my room.

Nomadic

Today is Thursday. When was I supposed to be in Salt Lake? Yesterday. How did this happen? Sit back, relax and I will tell you. You might want to grab a tissue, things could get emotional as your sympathy for me sets in.
My little car, bless it's heart refuses to function properly and I have to take it to the mechanics more than I would like. My mechanic has ordered a wrong part for it TWICE, yes you are reading correctly, I said twice. Yesterday I was informed that they would get the right part in on Friday. That means that I have to stay in the mold infested ghetto phi house for two more days. This wouldn't be so bad either if everyone had just stayed calm yesterday. Due to a 3/4 majority of the roommates insisting on pushing me out of my own room I now dwell in Michelle's very empty room. I am sadly without my huge bed, which my roommates insisted on dismantling and moving upstairs. It is a good thing I am very adaptable and would have no problem as a nomadic dweller. I post the picture below in honor of my beloved people, the nomads. We may not have a lot, but we have camels.

Themes: not welcome here?

Lately I've been ignoring my academic duty to study completely and whole-heartily for my final exams. This absence of intellectual pursuit has resulted in my increased interest in criminal minds, chocolate and other people's blogs. In reading other people's personal thoughts I'd like to issue an utmost sincere apology to any and all of my readers. I sincerely apologize that my blog does not have a theme, that I blog irregularly, that I am vague and hardly ever blog about anything of personal deep interest. That being said, I can neither confirm nor deny that I will attempt to make my blogs more viable and controversial, more frequent or more about my private life. All in all.... maybe I will go study now.
A very quotable funny youtube video. If you plan on interacting with me, plan on watching this.
