1 Week Until 20

Loving this tumblr I stumbled on today: http://middlechildcomplex.tumblr.com/#107

Here are some favorites:

In other news, birthday's in a week. No plans. Stress.

Home (skillet)

So hey. This is me now (I hate this picture of myself, but whatevvvvvs). OKAY YES I'M TOTALLY ARIEL THE MERMAID NOW. I have red hair for the time being. It should wash out in twenty something more washes but if I'm allowed to it'll be permanent someday. Not crossing my fingers on that one.

I'm just as horrible at blogging as I am at journaling. Neither are very satisfying. As for journaling, my children are NOT going to want to read about my life, and I don't get any satisfaction writing for myself. And with blogging I don't get much feedback so if I find something amazing I'll usually just post it to le book of faces.

Everyone's in a fit over Titanic in 3-D. I could care less. That movie is way too sad, and we all know they both could have fit on that stupid floating door. I'd much prefer this cartoon with Jafar.

Well said. BRAVO.

Ellie Saab Spring/Summer 2012 Collection. I. WANT. There's more where that came from on my Pinterest, which you will CERTAINLY not be getting a link to because it's stupid and I only "pin" so I can have a nice little collection of clothes to inspire me (it's like a digital version of my fashion book) and also quotes. Quotes are good and goodness knows I don't need anymore digital sticky notes on my computer (apparently people get headaches from looking at them?).

Sistah sistahhhhhhhh <3

MUSIC. OH MY GOODNESS. New favorite song:

Warrior. By Foster the People, Kimbra, and A-Trak. It's just so great. BELIEVE IT.

The entire Joywave album "Koda Vista". MMMPH.

The Miike Snow album "Happy to You". Classy.

Hello, I'm in Delaware - City and Colour

Colours- Captain Cuts Remix - Grouplove

Tokyo - Vampires and Wolves - The Wombats

Shuffle - Bombay Bicycle Club (saw someone with a Bombay Bicycle shirt. WANT.)

Sidenote: I got a Regular Show shirt yesterday :3 You jeal?

BIGGESTSIDENOTEOFMYLIFE: Jessie and I are going to A CONCERT. YES. A CONCERT. With Foster the People, Kimbra, and Tokyo Police Club. I DIE.

Also, I created a Mormon.org profile today. It has to be reviewed to make sure I'm not a sketcher but once they find out I'm awesome it'll be up and running. Get exciiiiited.

So I'm home now. Hit me up. Should be a fun summer!

Peace, bb.



But I'm Not a Rapper

Hello lovelies! I realize it's been forever and a day, but you all have probably come to expect nothing more from me, so... hi.

This semester is going by quickly, which may or may not be a bad thing. It means I'm busy enough, but that business entails many an hour of homework. On a lighter note, here are some pictures that I've had saved up JUST FOR YOU:

Also, I feel compelled to advertise the facebook page that a few guys in my ward made, because it's actually a really big hit, and I like it:

http://www.facebook.com/#!/BYUMemes

I'm such a nice person.

Anyways, there have been a couple exciting developments lately. Right now, for instance, my parentals are across the pond in FRICKIN' LONDON. First my basically-brother gets called to London on his mission, and now this? I admit I'm more than a little jealous. Pretty sure my mom's on her BBC tour right now and I'm in Provo eating at the Cannon? Give me a breakkkkk. But a service project last week, a ballet, a ward talent show, a movie night, and another service project tonight have kept me content! Hopefully the trend continues!

OH MUSIC. These songs aren't normally what I'd post, seeing as they're old, etc. but here ya go:

Marching Bands of Manhattan - Death Cab for Cutie

Called Out in the Dark - Snow Patrol

Check out the band "Jinja Safari". You'll have to go on YouTube because they're Australian... but they're GREAT.

7/4 (Shoreline) - Broken Social Scene

That's all for now, folks! I'm going to go shopping, so TTFN!

THIS.

This dress (yes I am aware it's a wedding dress... pfft):These 3 Facebook fails:

This picture for my nerdy math friends... which I have:

This quote:

"Along your pathway of life you will observe that you are not the only
traveler. There are others who need your help. There are feet to steady, hands to grasp, minds to encourage, hearts to inspire, and souls to save."

-Thomas S. Monson

Lots of Pictures.

Greetings. Today I will be sharing a plethora of pictures because I am currently addicted to http://iwastesomuchtime.com/ and http://www.stumbleupon.com/su. Be prepared.

^Alright, so the facebook = procrastination thing is a little old, but the others are funnee.

^ I <3 MEAT

^ Let's go.

^ Worst. Day. Ever.
^ FOR TRUE (no typo there).

^ Tangled, much?

And now, here's a good song:

Here's the best video of my entire life:

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/9guNPY/shuttersalt.com/blog/most-amazing-time-lapse-video-milky-way-ever-made-seriously

I'm not kidding. This video is BREATHTAKING.

Oh, and a funny/cool video, of course:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52_TvqYtZ-E&feature=share

Sewwwwww. What's new with me? School = STRESS. I shall not speak of it. Instead, here are some things you probably didn't know about me:

- I've just started to help out with this thing called "The Vineyard" where I get to translate church materials from English into German. Soup-er kewl.

- Sometimes... I listen to rap. And I like it.

- I've eaten a kids chocolate brownie Clif bar almost every day for the past few years. I ate one for lunch every day - at least in my last 2 years of high school. I'm addicted.

- I don't like talking about myself, so we're done here.

Fantastic. So insightful.

And now, I'm going to go see what the deal with room swaps is (I'm moving down the hall). TTFN!

Thanksgiving and Such

Hey there.

I guess Thanksgiving is coming up. And some of us will be eating pie. Now I can pretend that this picture is applicable:

Today, I got an actionsampler camera in the mail. Surprise! Late birthday present from the parentals! It was FANTASTIC. This camera take four sequential frames on one photo. So you move the camera around or you just take a picture of someone in action and by pressing the shutter button once, it'll give you four different shots all on the same picture. I'm so pumped to use it. By the way, this is 35mm film material. Not some digital nonsense. I roll deep.

Here's another mindblowing picture (I actually really want to try this at the Canc):

The facial expression of this hot tottie was mirrored on my face when I came upon this realization. Just imagine it.
Coming to Utah, I expected the native Utah'ns to say certain things. "Oh my heck", "oh my lanta", "the Nordstroms", "sull" (sale), etc. And that these things would never become part of my daily vocabulary. One thing I DID NOT expect was that the use of the word "super" would rub off on me. I find myself saying that things are "super fun", "super great", and even "super bad". I don't even know. But it's a sad state of affairs. *sigh*.
Also, I made a Twitter, so that just means I've gone off the deep end. I understand if this is shocking and/or upsetting to you, because it is to me.

Also, THIS:
Seeing as we're nearing Thanksgiving, I'd like to share a suggestion from my Book of Mormon class. My professor said to take a notecard and write down one thing you're grateful for. Obviously if you're a beast you'll be able to think of at least one zillion and write all of those down. Now with that list, you can remember to thank Heavenly Father for everything in your nightly prayer because you have a cheat sheet! I think it's pretty great. And for those of you who don't appreciate my incorporation of religion, the point is just to document the things that you're grateful for. I think we all can do that. One way that my hall has done that is with grateful chains. We have them around our door frames and they all connect to each other. It's really cool.
Here is my playlist for the moment:
Don't Move - Phantogram
Talking in Code - Margot and the Nuclear So and So's
Love Lost- The Temper Trap
As the Rush Comes (Gabriel & Dresden Chill Out Mix)- Motorcycle
Signs - Bloc Party
The Greatest Light is the Greatest Shade - The Joy Formidable
It's a pretty chill.
I hope you all have a "SUPER" great (smh...) Thanksgiving! I'm going to go see Matthew soon (if me ever gets here), so TTFN!

a not-so-urgent update.

Disclaimer: I might have a picture or two from some friends' blogs. Be flattered?

Halloween is fast approaching, and I don't have a costume. I don't really want one, but I suppose I need one for all of these Halloween activities on and off campus. The thing is... I just don't like Halloween. I don't understand the appeal in celebrating creepiness. Don't get me wrong, I'll accept your candy, but you won't see me decorating my room or watching scary movie marathons. It's just... gross. Sorry, Halloween. We just can't be friends.

If I could be someone from Napoleon Dynamite, I might be happy. Favorite picture of all time right here:

<3

Sometimes I try to keep you guys up to date on what's happening in the world. You're welcome:

*Sigh*. Oh, BYU. I'm not going to rant about it. Actually, I've almost mastered getting to my classes without a map. Almost. Halfway through the semester and I'm still lost. It's chill. Maybe they should just stop naming every building J_B. Just a suggestion.

One thing I very much enjoy about this campus is the Jamba Juice. Every Tuesday and Thursday at 12:55 (right after dance class) I go to Jamba Juice and say "the usual". Priceless. It's pink star, if you wanted to know. So freaking tasty.

Also:

Whoever you are, I'm sure this applies to you.

Now it's music time! (:

I found most of these thanks to Pandora <3 :

Lovers In Japan (Osaka Sun Mix) - Coldplay

North by North - Faded Paper Figures

Bambi - Tokyo Police Club

Mornin' - Star Slinger

Block After Block (Echoes Remix) - Matt & Kim

And now, I must tell you about my new favorite band. They're called Givers. Please go listen to them. The music video for "Up Up Up" is way cool, and that song is the most "mainstream", for those who don't appreciate my weird music taste (sadface).

Speaking of weird, here's a weird thought: in less than 2 weeks, I'll be 19. Uhm... I feel like I turned 17 like 5 seconds ago. Rewind?

I'm going to go skype with my portfolio (I want some of it sent out to me for my b-day), so TTFN!
