I go to Brigham Young Elementary School.

I am beginning to take the role of the obnoxious child again...because I am in classes that are just like the ones I had in elementary school. I have PE, Art, Dance, Math, Music, and Drama. I feel like a kid because I am being taught like one (so I can learn from the teacher how to properly teach and know what it feels like to be taught in that way.) So I am beginning to want more attention and I don't want to be quiet. I just had math where we are playing with blocks and learning addition with blocks. I couldn't stop laughing after the teacher asked "How do you guys feel about these blocks" and a girl behind me said "they suck"

Juno, like in Alaska?

This movie would be really good edited because when I saw it last night I covered my eyes and/or ears for that bad parts. And when it wasn't like that it was great.

There There

It's not going as bad as I thought it would...my teachers are so easy going so I don't want to die that much any more.

Back to School

And I want to DIE!

a time for MOVIES!

I haven't been to work or school for 2 weeks. Since the 21st. And boy did I enjoy it! And what did I do with that long beautiful break? I watched a lot of movies. So the next 10 posts will be about the movies I watched. Have so much fun okay? and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's a Wonderful Life

One of my favorite movies--even in the category of all movies, not just Christmas. I know my life wouldn't be the same without George Bailey. Good thing he was born.

Scrooge

It is a family tradition to pop this video in on Christmas eve at about 10 pm. It has a great message. Would I enjoy visiting my past? Do people care about me right now? And is my death going to be a celebratory time for those who knew me?

The Holiday

Gets me every time...wonderful movie. Some of the things Kate says should be knitted to a pillow.

Mission Impossible

I mean the one with Tom Cruise but I like this picture better.

Stardust

Five stars for Stardust because it has everything you want in a movie. No matter who you are, it will have something good for you. And since I am a really well-rounded person, I liked everything.

The Bourne Ultimatum

THIS MOVIE IS SO GREAT.

And I even followed the story line.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

I enjoyed this movie. Justin Bartha is really handsome.

You know, as long as a movie has a handsome man and some depth to the story line I will like it. No, it was not as good as the first National Treasure but by itself it is worth your time.

P.S. I Love You

I liked it because I thought it was really neat that her dead husband lined up letters and a trip for her. Every dying spouse should plan that for their living spouse. Unless that spouse was the reason why they were dying.

I am Legend

Horror. Horrific. Horrifying. Horrible.

But the story line was very intriguing.

Nightmares. Lots of nightmares.

When I wake up in the night those people are in my room, breathing quickly, waiting to pounce.

Then I just think "are they really in here?" No. And then I sing a primary song and think of spring time. I can't ever remember what happens after that because I fall asleep.

Happily ever after I saw this movie

This movie was so magical! It brings out the kid in everyone that sees it. And I felt like I was coming home because I haven't seen a really good disney princess movie for a while. The entire movie I was smiling and thinking "I LOVE THIS MOVIE!" And my cheekbones were sore. So worth how ever much it costs for you to see it.

Neices and Nephews Christmas Party

I went to Washington, DC

It was a really great trip.

The first day we went on a Segway tour of the city.


The second day we had Thanksgiving dinner.


The third day we went to the morning market and Georgetown then we saw August Rush.


The fourth day we went to Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial and all the other major sites.
The fifth day we went to the Smithsonian museums.
This an original poster for the feminist movement during war times.


The sixth day we went home.

Trip Highlight: One of the coolest things about Capitol Hill was this bookstore. Books were piled everywhere, even in the bathroom.

My tricky football singing pig brains sidewalk date

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...But there were some highlights I am sure you want to know about.

TRICKY
So Gina's roommate Michelle and her date Lucas doubled with me and Dave. (I couldn't remember his first name the entire date...) Lucas drove. He left the car on and left to walk up to Michelle's apartment. Well Dave had the brilliant idea to move the car so Lucas would be "so confused." So he moved it to the underground parking lot. It took a few minutes, and Lucas' face was not happy.

We went to Color me Mine, basically my favorite place in Utah that doesn't have food. They have ceramic plates, cups, bowl, figurines, toothbrush holders - anything you can think of, they probably have. Well you take this ceramic item and you paint it. Then a few days later you pick it up after they have fired the paint so it is pretty.
Lucas insisted that he and Michelle get the same large dinner plates together. Michelle asked "well what are we going to do with them?" and he said "I was thinking we could make dinner together and use these plates." This was all in Portuguese by the way, they kept speaking to each other in that language to flirt. They are so cute!

FOOTBALL
I picked a cup and taped a geometric design then painted the shapes between the tape using bright colors. Dave picked a football. the football is cut in half to serve as a container. Well on the inside, he painted his 3rd favorite football team's colors and letter on one side, his 2nd favorite football team's colors and letter on the other side, and a blue "Y" on the outside. It turned out pretty cool, considering.

SINGING
He sang a couple of the songs that were playing, and we are not talking about quiet, sing-along singing. We are talking about loud, performance singing, adding his own dynamics and notes singing.
And after Lucas, Michelle and I were done, he was being OCD about every little spot (I told him the glaze would melt over and even it out) but we waited 20 minutes regardless. And I was in love with the employee there. He complimented my cup and had the coolest shoes.
After all the spots were accounted for on Dave's football, we decided to go to Mimi's for Hot Cocoa. After we were seated and they gave us the bread, I took the whole un-cut loaf and cut a slice off in a reckless and crazy way. It took a while because the crust was hard and crispy and crumbs flew everywhere. Dave was behind his menu and did not see, which made it more satisfying - just the cute couple and me, laughing...at me.
I leaned over to Dave and said "I haven't eaten dinner, so I am going to get some soup. I can pay for myself." The answer I wanted was not what I got. I wanted him to insist that he pay, act like what I just said was outlandish. But he was fine with it. So I spent $9 on soup and hot chocolate. Idiot.

PIG BRAINS
So he ordered Pecan Pie, told us about a lady in his mission that served pig brains to him without telling him, and made everyone try the pecan pie, which did not look appetizing nor did anyone want more sugar after their hot cocoa.

SIDEWALK
Then we drove home, me first. He walked from the car to the sidewalk and stopped 20 feet away from my house as I approached my door. I was kind of confused, but I walked back to him and said thanks and he gave me a short hug. Hey, I would prefer a sidewalk scene, thank you dave bass.

The cutest thing happened after our date. Michelle called me and we talked - she is totally in love with Lucas. Then Lucas came over to talk - he is totally in love with Michelle. And they are both talking to me so I see both sides and it is going to be a great relationship, I can tell.
How come everyone is hooking up? How can I hook up? Where do I find the hookers? (The guys that will hook up with you)

I am going on a date with a Bass

I didn't want to tell you because I knew this would happen. I like a guy in my ward...well...LIKED I guess. His name is Isaac. and he is 6'5" and works at the MTC. and he is EQP. He is in my dinner group and last Sunday he let me wear his jacket while he sat next to me during sacrament meeting. So I thought things were beginning to bud between us...maybe even just friendship I don't know. but none of that can happen anymore because he recently got back together with his ex-girlfriend. So there you go.

A couple weeks ago, his roommate approached me and asked if I would set him up with my sister's best friend Michelle. So I said, why don't we double and you set me up. So I described his roommate Isaac without using his name when he asked what kind of guy I wanted him to set me up with. And he said he knew who he would set me up with and it turned out to NOT be Isaac. His name is Dave Bass and he looks like a woman with short hair. But that is not his fault. He is also crazy. And that is his fault. So I am going on a double date with a guy in my ward, my sister's friend, and Dave Bass. Wish me Luck!

PARK CITY!

Park City was a blast of all explosions. I loved where we stayed and we spent most of our time just hanging out and bein silly.

There was a pool right outside our sliding glass door (and everybody else's staying in that hotel) It was outdoor and heated. So refreshing.

We came out of the water to test the steam evaporation. We are steaming hot.

Their real hot tub was empty and we refused to let that get in the way. When no one was in the hot tub, the water was only 5 inches high. When we all got in, it almost overflowed. So you can imagine how much space we were filling in that tub! haha

being silly again...with gummy eyeballs

We went to the outlet mall and a cute bakery, then we hit up Main St. I really enjoyed Park City!

When we arrived in our Condo and discovered the fridge to be empty, we went to the grocery store. I wanted cheese puffs, but no one else did. So we had to fight about it to get what I wanted.


She is kind of hiding it, but Alyson is holding a Diet Dr Pepper in her left arm. When my Aunt Renae saw that we had it, she was kind of appalled. Which made it so much more fun to drink. We stayed up pretty late and found some shot glasses in the cupboard. Boy what a burning sensation--drinking a shot of that in one gulp.
