A Day to go Down in History: Feb 28, 2009

HELLO!

6:00am- woke up6:30am- got in line for the BYU v Utah game

This time was spent sitting in my camp chair being cold. Rachel and I brought all these things to do and food but it was too cold so we just sat. I say that, but the time actually went by really fast. The next thing I knew it was 10 and I had to go to Luau practice. Luau was fun and then I went back to sitting in line.

1:30pm- they open the doors and its a rush to the student section.

We sat in row 13. We were happy about that. The time moved slower once we were in the Mariott Center, but it was so exciting!

3:00pm- the game started.

So fun. I screamed, jumped up and down, twrilled my towel...I loved it! And then the best news: I was on the screen in the Marriot Center. It has been one of my goals, and now it is accomplished. I was so excited about it. In the end the Cougars won and it was a happy day. :)

i tag whoever wants to do this. i don't really care. plus, i don't have that many blog friends, so it doesn't really matter. haha. i think michelle should do it though. :D

when it comes to parental units

...mine are the best. And there is no doubt about it. I am so incredibly lucky. I don't know what I would do without them. They are so understanding and caring. Plus all the fun stuff too. They are my top examples. I want to be just like them. They are coming in March. I'm so excited. I miss them so much.

best friends

hello,
my good (he was considered a best) friend and i were talking tonight and the subject of best friends came up. we always disagree when this comes up. and let me tell you how. he says you cannot have more than one best friend and i disagree. so i came up with having a best "church" friend, a best "school" friend, a best "provo" friend, a best "guy" friend, and so on. then he made a point that did get me thinking. he said something along the lines of "having more than one best friend defeats the purpose of best". which best does mean above the rest so i almost agreed. i don't want to use the term "best friend" loosely, but i still have more than one. i could never choose between courtney and michelle, so how do you explain that? they are my best friends...both of them. they are the best, above the rest. and then there are my friends in provo. i have the most wonderful group of friends in provo. but i guess they can't be my best friends because that spot is already over booked. i really do think i am not going to use the term "best friend" so loosely. i want it to be special. but still i have to say it about more than one person. just something for me to think about.
goodbye
ps: the good friend i had this discussion with is still considered a best :) haha

25 random things...

hello,
being sick sucks. and i've been really sick for days. i just lay in bed all day. so i decided to do the new facebook craze, the list of 25 random things. i did it and now i am going to post it on my blog. because i want to.
1. I have an obsessive personality. My obsessions/addictions include Harry Potter, the Beatles, Batman, Dr. Pepper, and Kung Fu Panda
2. Ever since I was little I have always wanted to go to all 50 states. I blame this on my parents. We keep a count in my family. I am at 28, so I still have a ways to go.
3.When I was a kid I thought in the song I Am a Child of God that the words were “with parents kind of weird” instead of “with parents kind and dear”. (One more cute kid thing of mine- my first word besides “mama” and “dada” was “touchdown” and I would throw my hands up in the air. Yes I was dang cute. And my love for football started young)
4. I turn the spoon upside down when I eat ice cream. It's weird, and my mom thinks its disgusting. But it's a habit.
5. Most of the time my clothes don't match. I love tie-dye, plaid, and neon. My favorite article of clothing is sweatshirts.
6. Three stuffed animals sit on the corner of my bed. They are Polar Bear, Paco the Panda, and Bambi.
7. I don't like using public restrooms, but who really does. Anyways, when I have to I will only use an even number stall.
8. I secretly wish I had a musical talent. I regret dropping piano lessons when I was little. I really wish I could play the drums. But it would be nice if I could even sing.
9. If a word has multiple ms and/or ns in it I have trouble pronouncing it. For example when it was about to be the year 2000 I had to practice “millennium” for a long time. I still cannot say “aluminum”. And if I am not really thinking about it I will say “aminal” instead of “animal”. Just a few examples.
10. I love to color in coloring books. It's my favorite. (I'll mail you a picture if you want.)
11. I don’t like shoes. If I could I would be barefoot all the time. In the summer unless I am going to a public place I will not wear shoes. Even in the winter I will run to the mailbox or take the garbage out without shoes on.
12. My sisiter and I get the giggles bad. When we start we cannot stop. Some of my favorite childhood memories are us just laughing and I can't remember why.
13. I will not step on a manhole or anything of that sort. I will deliberately go out of my way to avoid. I will jump it, whatever it takes to not step on the death trap.
14. I love water. Swimming is a favorite pastime in the summer. Rain is one of my most favorite things. Slip-n-slides are a must during the summer. Days spent on the beach are the best days. 15. I get annoyed, probably too much and too easily, when people do things loudly when they could just as easily do it quietly… eating, drinking, walking, pretty much anything.
16. I like to do random things. My two best friends and I always end up doing random things. And that's when we have the most fun.
17. I love searching random facts on the internet, mostly about animals. I think animals are really cool when reading about them or if they are behind cages. But domestic animals scare me.
18. I love dirt. Nothing beats playing on a big pile of dirt.
19. I am terrified of windows at night. I have gotten better. But I still just don't look at them.
20. Big city life fascinates me, but I am a small town girl at heart. I don’t like big crowds and I get flustered in them.
21.I love amusement parks. The thrill of being on a rollercoaster is one of the best feelings.
22. I love movies. And I obsess over them (see #1). I will watch the same movie every day for weeks. I don't get to do this much anymore because I don't have time...
23. As the Beatles song says “I get by with a little help from my friends”. These words ring true in my life. I have a lot of best friends and I don’t know what I would do without them.
24. My family rocks…immediate and extended. If you don’t know my parents you should. They are the funniest and funnest people ever. I also have the two best little sisters anyone could ask for.
25. I am pretty much really cool. Probably one of the coolest people ever. And I like to talk about myself (as you can see). But, no worries, I am not conceited. :D
yep... i followed the crowd. i usually don't like doing those things. but it was fun. haha. anyways, i'm exhausted again. i don't like this sick thing.
good-bye
