Mindless boringness of my life

Hello my lovelies! Sorry I address you like that. I find it to be entertaining lol. Life is pretty uneventful but I seem to be addicted to blogging even if its about nothing.
This last week all in all was not the best. Heck, this whole month of February hasnt been that great. So much has happened this month. Stuff I never thought I would have to deal with. This month especially has made me start to think if I am easily manipulated. I have always thought I knew what was going on and could see through lies and stuff like that. Now, I'm not so sure. Not being sure about this is kind of scary because potentially, if I am easily manipulated then I could get myself into quite a lot of trouble and make myself completely miserable.
This weekend was very relaxing. I wasnt feeling well on Friday (which sucked royally!) I want to go to a dance with Katie buuuut I was sick so wasnt able to go :( so I watched Whose Line is it Anyway? instead. Earlier that day it snowed tons and tons! So two of my three classes were cancelled so I didnt go to school that day. I love college for that reason lol. Professors cancel class soooo much. Its way nice. Saturday my mom and I went on a quest for Megamind. We didnt find it. Talk about depressing. Yesterday I finally beat the Lego Harry Potter Wii game! I enjoyed every minute of it lol.
So I found this 30 day song challenge and I kinda wanna do it on here except it wont be 30 days straight but more like 1 each blog post. So here is the first one
Day 1: Your Favorite Song: I have tons of favorite songs so asking me to pick just one is pretty much impossible for me. I have 2 main favorite songs though so I'll do those.
I posted this on my last blog entry. This is Walk Away by The Script. I have no idea why but this song just speaks to me. I love singing it too haha.
This song is Seperate Ways by Journey. I love love love this song. The first time I heard it was on the movie Tron. The night I heard it I jumped onto the internet determined to figure out what song it was. After discovering it was by Journey I was overjoyed. Journey in my opinion is one of the best bands EVER! I watched a concert of theirs on TV the other night and eventhough the current singer isnt the original I loved watching them. The new singer is pretty good too :D
By the way, I got new shoes!
They're just white vans. Nothing special but I looove them! They go with everything! And are super comfortable. I have a feeling I will be buying way more pairs of vans in the coming months :)
Oh! By the way California family, I'm leaving in 12 days or so! I'm suuuuper excited! AHH!!

The Script = Amazing

Yes I am writing again from my English class. I usually only write once a week but I need something to do and I wanna ramble about stuff haha.
Yesterday I downloaded The Scrpit's new album called Science and Faith.
This is the album cover. This is such an amazing album. I'm not very picky when it comes to music so I like all different kinds but I dont typically like every song on an album. There is usually one or two that I dont like. This album is not like that at all. I love every single song on this album. Every. Single. One. There are songs on here I really realate to and I just adore them. Here are three of my my favorites off of the album.
This song is called Walk Away. I completely adore this song. I kind of relate to it but not in the way that you might think.
This is Dead Man Walking. I love this song soooo much. I just love how it starts and develops throughout.
This song is called Nothing. When I first heard this song I was put into sort of a trance kind of thing. I stopped with everything else I was doing and just listened. There is not a whole lot of music out there that can make me stop what I'm doing and focus on the song. When I listen to music I do it while doing tons of other stuff so for a song to make me stop what I'm doing and listen is very rare.

I'm kind of in love with this band and this album in case you cant tell lol

I believe a congratulations is in order to my cousin Haley. She was accepted to BYU! Congrats girl! They are lucky to have you. No getting married when you are a teenager, or before me for that matter :P lol jk if you get married before me I dont mind.

Well I dont want to ramble too much about stuff but I just had to talk about this album and now I'm gonna go.

Snape, Snape, Severus Snape

Ello there my blog reading darlings! This last week was not easy either. Dont get me wrong, I had some fun moments with Katie and Brenna but that was basically it.
I think it was on Thursday that I started to have a mental breakdown. Everything is crashing down on me and nothing seems to be working. With me, when it rains it pours. I cant just have one thing go wrong. When one thing goes wrong everything else follows suit. I havent really talked about it because I'm not an open book when it comes to my emotions. I am an emotionless wall as far as anyone knows. Just like Dog the Bounty Hunter says, its like making a rock cry. It doesnt happen.
It is official, I will be in California in 3 weeks with the family. Visiting cousins and going to Disneyland! This is wonderful because I am in need of a vacation desperately. Gotta love spring break! We are staying in the Disney Grand California Hotel. Never did I think I would have the chance to stay there, so I'm super excited about that.
Friday I did a photoshoot with Brenna Moore. Here are some pictures from the shoot.


You can find more of these pics on my facebook page. :)
Saturday I went out to dinner with my family and out for ice cream after. When I got home we watched Some Like it Hot then I went to Katies and we watched Sense and Sensibility and went to Walmart and made an Iron Man action figure strangle a Justin Bieber barbie.
Sunday Katie and I went to a farewell. It was for Mike Martin. I met him in my English class last semester. I'm gonna miss him actually. We didnt really hang out but hes awesome and going to be an awesome missionary. Good luck in Chile Mike! They are lucky to have you :)
Yesterday there was no school (woo!!) So I hung out with Katie. We made cake and listened to funny stuff on the internet. Then we decided to go to her house and watch the fifth Harry Potter movie. We are kind of obsessed with Snape.
Look at him! How can you not love him?!
I'm super excited for the next Harry Potter movie. Gonna see it at midnight! Ahh!!! Loooove Harry Potter. I could talk about Harry Potter all day but I wont do that.
Now I have to go because my English teacher is kinda glaring at me.

Random Scattered Thoughts

Once upon a time I wrote a blog last Tuesday and it was quite depressing. I apologize if I worried any of you. Last week was just awful and I needed to vent and just get it out soooo yeah.

Because last week was awful I am not going to talk about it so sorry to disappoint any of you.

Yesterday was Valentines Day. If you know me you know that I hate this holiday and pretty much always have. This year I still hated it. Just so ya know. But, some entertaining things did happen. My mom put up our chocolate fountain and while she was trying to get the chocolate flowing through it, it basically exploded allllll over the kitchen and my mom. It was super funny. Eventually we got it to work and enjoyed chocolate.

I have discovered the loveliness of skype! So you California family need to get it so I can talk to you guys! Technology is a wonderful thing.

Wow I am realizing that this is a blog of very scattered thoughts, this is mainly because my true thoughts I cannot put on here. This is because it might cause some of you to worry, and some of it is none of my business. I'm an open book but not nearly that open.

Guess what? My family and I are trying to figure out if we can go to California next month. We arent sure right now because Bryan would be missing school and we dunno if we can do it financially so stayed tuned for info on that California family :)

School is hard. The end. I am getting suuuuuuper lazy and not wanting to do anything. I'm pretty sure I'm failing my math class actually. Stupid fast talking teacher. Speaking of math, yesterday there was a guy sitting in front of me who kept moving and making my desk shake. I whispered "Immobulus" and the shaking stopped. I felt like a witch and was very happy for the rest of class hahaha!

I will leave you with a picture of James Roday. I basically love him. For those of you who dont know who he is he plays Shawn Spencer the main character in the show Psych. I need new episodes of this show like ASAP. Buuuut I have to wait till the Summer. 

Well I am going to go now because I am in my English class and my typing is loud sooo yeah. Bye!

Not giving up is becoming difficult

Merf. That's all I have to say right now is merf. Life is seriously stressing me out. Its just one thing after another. Lets take my life section by section so maybe it will be easier to understand.

School: I'm usually really good with school. I get everything done on time and I do it well. Lately, I have been not wanting to even do anything involving school. I haven't been getting things done and I'm slacking off. I don't normally do this so I am very confused as to why this is happening. School stuff just keeps piling up which is expected because this is college. Its just making me crazy.

People in general: It feels like no matter what I do or where I go someone is breathing down my neck to do something for them and its almost like they don't want to take into consideration what I might want. They just want me to do what they want me to do regardless whether its good for me or not. People are getting harder and harder to deal with. I haven't talked to my best friends in awhile nor have I seen them in awhile.

The world just seems like a cruel place at the moment. Idk if I just have the winter blues or what but I need something to take my mind off of everything. There is other stuff going on that I am not going to post on a blog for everyone to read, mainly because it is none of my business. I worry too much about other people I think that's the other part of why I'm so stressed out. I care about the people in my life too much and because of that I worry about them. Some people I know are stuck in situations that I have no way of helping them with. I am powerless and I am just not used to that. I am used to being able to help the people in my life with whatever they may need and I cant do that for a couple people. I just feel kinda useless to them or something. All I can really do for these people is be there for them but at the moment that's not really enough.

I just feel like I need to disappear for awhile and take a break from everything but I have no where to disappear to and I cant just pick up everything and leave. Gah! This just sucks right now lol.

On the plus side, I get to do a photoshoot next Friday with the lovely and talented photographer Brenna Moore! Go check out her blog, like right now http://mooreimageinnovations.blogspot.com/ I am super excited to do a photoshoot with her and feel very privileged to be part of her portfolio. She's gonna go places for sure ;)

Growing Up And Needing a Vacation

Helloooo blog readers! I'm comin to you live from my English class! Woo hoo! Actually, I'm fairly bored. Lately I have been wishing I had never grown up. When you are little everything is so easy its ridiculous. You cry over losing toys, getting a scrape, getting a scratch etc. etc. When you are older everything becomes more complicated. You aren't sure how to act in certain situations and you have to figure out when you are losing someone. Especially since I'm in college everything is more complicated than it was last year. I wish I had stayed little like this:



I don't miss the cliques and retarded social ladder of high school but I do miss all the people I knew. I stay in contact with maybe 4 people from high school and it kinda sucks. I really really miss choir. That was the one class every other day that I could just let go of everything bugging me and hang out with all the awesome people and sing which is one of my favorite things to do. I miss how easy it was. School was a breeze and I didnt have to put forth any effort at all.
 
I miss stuff like the spirit bowl and football games. This was spirit bowl last year

It seems like everyone I know is finding out what they want to do in life and are going their seperate ways and I'm just standing here not knowing what to do, where to go or anything. I'm just stuck. I know I have to go to school and I know what I want to major in but thats basically it. I dont know if I'm going where I need to go or anything like that. I really dont.
 
I think I need to get away for awhile and go to California and visit family. (That means you Dennis family lol)
But sadly, I am a college student with no money and no job. Therefore I am not able to fly out or drive out and visit. Hopefully this year or this Summer I'll find a job and be able to come out there for a little while. I miss all you guys out there. And I miss the beach haha just sayin
Doesnt that look nice? I have no idea where in Cali this is but holy crap I wanna go there. I would love to go to Hawaii right now too but Hawaii is waaaay more expensive lol

I guess you could say I've got the Winter blues. Its sooo cold and I hate it! I'm going crazy in the four walls of my house. Besides my family its basically just me, my homework and my thoughts and when I'm alone with my thoughts I start to over analyze things. I'm currently over analyzing stuff that I shouldnt and I have got to stop. I think I need a vacation and a girls movie night for sure.

I have realized I need to get back into photography. Not like seriously because I'm not going to do that for my career but its something I like to do. I just have to figure out where to start again. I wanna get better at taking pictures of people because I dont really have much experience with that. I'm more of a landscape photographer ya know?

Well this is getting too long. Sorry for my rambling hahaha I'm just very bored in my English class and figured I would update.
