Momentary Memory Lapse? Nah, It's Just Gone

I hate today. Why? Because I am so so tired, and I'm still sick, and I can't freakin' breathe. Gah. And I'm bored. But I'll be doing broker approvals soon, so it will get better.

I really think I am going to try to go to BYU. But I probably won't be able to keep my Forester. $125-or-something car insurance is not cool, and mix that with my car payments, phone bills, tithing, food, gas...and I don't really make a lot. I'd need to pay rent, so looks like I might be going back to my old car after all. Good thing I didn't sell it. But my mom will need her car fixed, and my dad his truck. If he still has it. I haven't seen it in a while...

So since I've been home sick the past two days, I have been watching The Office practically non-stop, and I'm absolutely DYING to start a prank war with someone here. My office isn't nearly as dysfunctional as Dunder Mifflin, but sometimes I wonder about people....

Gah and my stupid face is breaking out again. I'm just going to get on the freaking pill already.

I totally had other things I wanted to write about today, but they have all escaped me. Until I remember them, farewell, friends and family.

Blecchh

Why do I always get sick when I have a date? This sucks!
So I've finished editing the temple pictures of the wedding. I'm going to take them over to their house today. Here are a couple I really liked:



You can't see them real well, but I like the way they turned out. *-EDIT- The family liked them too! Yay!* The lighting was so perfect that day! The sun was overcast, so there were no harsh shadows, but plenty of light. Lucky break! So I enjoyed taking the pictures, (I'm not done yet though - still have to do the St. George reception) but I don't know if weddings is what I want to do for a living. I'll surely photograph someone's wedding if they'd like me to, but I've decided that I'm way more into fine art photography, and I don't think that's enough for a stable career, so I'm thinking of going back to languages for my major. I love languages and cultures, and knowing languages is going to be helpful for many different careers, so that sounds like a good plan to me.

Tagged!

Alyssa tagged me, so here I go!

These are the rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
6. Let your tagger know when your entry is up.

Here are six random facts about me:

1 - For a while I would steal shoes that I saw lying in the street. It started when I was driving with a friend and we saw this huge, dirty boot in the gutter on State Street in front of the Olive Garden, and I just had to have it. I don't know where it is now; my parents probably threw it away.

2 - I'm afraid of robots and monkeys. Mostly monkeys. You can't tell me that any monkey doesn't look like it'd kill you at any given opportunity. Because they do.

3 - I have a Mr. Darcy fetish. It's bad. It's also strange because I have never been one for romance movies or novels.

4 - I love chairs. I buy really cool ones from yard sales and the DI to reupholster all schwanky-like.

5 - I love to learn languages. I have studied some Japanese, German, Italian, Greek, American Sign Language, Russian, and Latin. I'm not very fluent in any of them yet, but I can hold a basic conversation in German and Japanese.

6 - I am a music junkie. I love listening to music, discovering new artists, and acquiring music for my collection. I also love to play music. I've taken classes for violin, bass, guitar and piano. I'm currently writing a violin piece for a song my guitar teacher wrote. I've never tried writing my own music before, so wish me luck! :D

I now tag Lindsay H, Erika, Lindsay F, Kyle, Eric and Stephanie! Lurve

Odd How That Happens

You know, just a minute ago I wrote this lengthy post for my blog which was very deep and intellectual; I talked about my feelings on some subjects and what was going on in my head and then I realized something - it was all very silly. :D So I will say this and this alone: I don't know why I think of some of the things I think about. Good night.

Arrr, Me Harties

I'm going to be a pirate for Halloween and it is going to be schwank. I got my corset pattern and my flowy-shirt-thing pattern, so I just need to start. Now. To give myself enough time to procrastinate.

So I need a crock pot. I think I will buy one soon. I'm making my dip for the potluck today and I had to borrow my grandma's. It would be a lot easier if I just had my own. That way I can start practicing cooking OTHER things in a crock pot - not just this dip. (Though I could maybe live off it for a while - yummeh) I'm a bad girl though - I keep eating it, since I'm making it at my desk. I'm going to have to go to the store to get more stuff for it, so it doesn't all disappear before lunch.

So last night my guitar teacher gave me his song that he wants me to write a violin part for. I'm so excited - this is gonna be fun! And I'm hoping it will get me back into playing violin. My only problem with the violin is that I'm tired of the same old classical music, and I'm not really into playing popular songs on the violin, unless it's a totally awesome song. So writing and playing my own music is something I hadn't ever really tried, but wanted to do, so one...two...three...here we go!

Oh, The Pants

So I changed my mind about my last rant - not all men I know are completely mad, though most of them probably are. :D I just need a sort of miniature boy-clairvoyant to sit on my shoulder and tell me everything that goes through their heads when I need to know something and I think I might do all right.

And, just for the record, I had my shorts on backwards for the entire evening last night. On the plus side, I only wandered the house and nobody felt the impulse to come over. I don't think even my family noticed, so we're all good. :D

Ahhh, I'm happy today. Because tomorrow is Friday, and we have a potluck. Because after I finish these wedding pictures, I will be free from it for two weeks, and then I will be completely done with my first job. Because I have two dates next week - one that I'm really excited for. Because I'm finally getting caught up with my finances that have been screwed up since July. Because my skin is clearing up. Because I have new awesome music on my ipod. Because I donated to children today. It feels like the rest of the day is going to be pretty good too. It dang well better be.

That's It

Oh my gosh. Ohmygiddygosh. Oh. My. Gosh.
I have never had man problems like this before. And I don't mean just relationship related. I mean men in general have been driving me absolutely mad lately. One will say "I have feelings for you" then practically sever all communication. One will keep trying to get me to date him, will flirt with me after he gets a girlfriend, asks me out on a date when he and his girlfriend take a week-long break from each other, and when I get right down to it and tell him straight up that I'm not interested, will be fine with it then but when we hang out weeks later, bring up how I was mean to him when he was trying to date me, etc. etc. and continue to "shun" me for almost an hour, being blatantly rude to me and everyone around, then say later that it was all a joke! Another acts like a 10 year old and comes over to my desk just to hit me in the arm and make off with my rubber band ball. One insulted a good friend of mine to my face. One would never talk to me, saying that he was always too busy, (even though he hung out with other people) and now that I'm not really that interested anymore he seems to be coming around. One guy comes out of nowhere and inquires after the niceness of my booty. I am in a foul mood today. The only men I like right now are the members of Rammstein and Jimmy Eat World. :D And I like them very much.
