No Nonfiction Friday

So everyone should be aware that the Aggies are playing in Idaho on Friday at 10:30 (am)! That should keep everyone happy for a while.

I would like to blog about the amazing past two days (including today).

Yesterday was ST. PATRICK's day, and boy do I hate St. Patrick. The St. Patrick I know about gave amazing sermons and helped a lot of people in the Christian faith, but he killed a lot of people who wouldn't convert to his faith. To me, pinching someone because they aren't wearing green symbolizes killing someone because they aren't of your faith. So, yeah, I hate St. Patrick's day.

BUT GOOD NEWS! I found a reason to love St. Patrick's day! That very same day that I used to abhor is Keara Lei's birthday! So now I don't hate St. Patrick's day--I just hate St. Patrick.

anyway, I think she had a lot of fun, and let me tell you what i gave her because you can use my idea for your own friends if you want.

Keara Lei loves Smilies fruit snacks from Walmart. She loves the red and purple ones, and the orange ones are okay. However, in each packet of 10 fruit snack pieces, 6-8 of the pieces are yellow or orange, so she doesn't get a lot of her favorite fruit snacks. So, I was walking through Walmart one day and I got an idea. I wanted to get her a box of just red and purple smilies. I almost didn't, but Becca the Fill was at the store with me and assured me that it was a good idea (because I was doubting myself--I get a lot of stupid ideas and I thought this was one of them). So I got some boxes of smilies (not revealing how many, because that's not the point) and becca helped me get all of the purple and red ones out. We ended up with 4.5 sandwich ziplocs full of yellow and orange smilies and 1.5 bags of red and purple ones. Then we put those red and purple ones into some of the empty smilies bags that we were very careful to open and we resealed them and put them in a smilies box that we were very careful to open and we resealed it. Then I hid it and had a difficult time keeping the surprise from Keara Lei because I get excited to give people presents. I ended up giving it to her at 12:00 am on her birthday. :D It was a fun gift.

Then, I went to nonfiction today and it was my professor's birthday! His wife and two of his kids came in and brought us cake. And he told us the story of how he met his wife, and they saw each other twice before he went on his mission and they had their first date (a musical at a high school) 2.5 years later and he fell asleep. :) Then he cancelled class on friday thanks to the aggies game!

Ha ha ha ha ha! My next blog is my 44th! YES!

commenters beware: time limit approaches

Josh and Jaycey gave me an idea for a fun way to get to my 44th post faster.

Here's how it works...The first three people to comment on this post will get something from me, possibly made by me. My choice--but just for you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I give!
2. What I create or give will be just for you.
3. It will be done this year (sometime, I don't know when)
4. You will have no clue what it is going to be.
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog. The first 3 people to do so and leave a comment telling me you did, will win a marvelous homemade gift or handpicked gift by me! Let the games begin! Oh, and I have to be able to contact you with mailing information! I promise it will be something good! Good Luck to all!

Dreams are Swell

I had a weird dream two nights ago with President Hinckley in it. It was really cool. He was talking to my roommate Megan and I, just us. Really awesome. Too bad in my dream I was trying to leave the country because the government wanted to kill me. Other than that it was a cool dream.



But I am rather distressed at the moment. I like to eat, and I want to eat, but it hurts to eat crunchy things, because my right side bottom gums are swelling. Do you know why?

Let me tell you.


I am not good at going to the doctor or dentist. About 2.813 years ago, I was scheduled to have surgery to remove the root of one of my teeth, because it had an infection. Instead of going to this surgery, I went to Alaska with my family. I didn't remind my mom that I was supposed to have this surgery because it sounded painful and if she didn't remember on her own, I didn't care.


So I've had this dormant thing in my jaw that swells up every now and then and doesn't let me smile completely or chew a lot, but otherwise I can live with it. I might have to take care of it this summer though, because it's annoying and I like eating and smiling too much to just ignore it for much longer.


It snowed like crazy yesterday/last night/sometime today. I say we got over two feet. Megan says it's at least a foot and that I should go measure it, but I don't want to measure it. I'll just say its a foot and a half. In Provo, it only snowed 2-3 inches. Stupid Provoists.


I really don't know what to say. I just realized I haven't blogged in a while and I want to get to my 44th blog soon.


Oh! I found a new amazing exciting frustrating game called SEQUENCE! It's fun. Everyone should check it out. Especially Kim. Kim would probably be really good at it.


I went to the temple on Saturday morning with my roommates. It was amazing, although they did get us through really quick and they wouldn't let us all go together, so next time we're making an appointment and we're waiting for each other before we do baptisms, and I would like to just sit in the temple for a while longer because it's a nice place to be, so hopefully they wouldn't mind just sitting there with me.


Another exciting thing that happened recently: I had a conference with my nonfiction professor about my work, and he pulled out one of my pieces (not posted) and said it was one of the most potent things he's ever read (potent is a good thing apparently) and he wants me to work on it for the rest of the semester! That's exciting news! He likes my work! That always makes me feel better.


I like facebook now. Took me a while, but I like it. I don't use all of it's features, but it's a fun little fake social life with real friends that I could be actually hanging out with.


I think we should make "hanging out with friends" into "hanging with friends" or make "out with" into "outwith." Just a thought to leave you with.
