PSYCHO

Um... I stumbled upon this beauty of a shower curtain online today. Kind of disturbing...

But it would be hilarious around Halloween-time.

Also, note the review that one satisfied customer left:

"Lightweight and easy to hang. Will look good in the bathroom with an assortment of body parts and blood."

It's finally happened. My first boyfriend from high school is getting married.

Wow.

But in reality, what's really surprising is that neither of us is married yet!

Well, congrats to him and his bride-to-be. She's lovely and he's deserving of all happiness.

Cops no longer make me break into a cold sweat

Stuck it in my back window.
Bought a plane ticket for my visit home in August. (77 bucks)

I am feeling both very proud of all I got done today... and also very poor.

But it sure feels great to have a much shorter "To-Do List"!

I think I need a nap now.

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie...

I just woke up from a much-needed nap. It was glorious. Better yet, I realized when I awoke, that I had been doing a crossword puzzle in my dream. Well... I don't know if I would call it dreaming, because all I was doing was a crossword puzzle. I can't remember any of the clues, but I do remember that I felt extremely proud of myself for getting the last answer. "ZECTOR"

In my mind it was the Phonetic Alphabet term for the letter Z. But when I woke up I realized there is no such word as Zector. And in my sleepy state of mind, I thought, "Oh, that's funny, I confused it with the term for H, which is HECTOR!"

Nope, wrong again. H is HOTEL.

Perhaps it was a three-letter mix-up, because V is VICTOR? I don't really know.

Well anyways, I still feel that the answer was right in my dream, and I'm still proud I got it!

Here is the entire list, for your enjoyment. Maybe it will inspire an impromptu game of cops and robbers, or truck drivers...?

"It's Dumbo!"

I bought some headphones on amazon yesterday. I wanted some that I could actually wear running without them falling out every 6 seconds. So, I looked around and read a lot of reviews from buyers... but how can you really know which reviewers you will agree with in the end? There are so many conflicting opinions!

Here are a few excerpts:

"They're very light and reasonably comfortable for something that's sticking just into your ear." "It needs to be mentioned that, with music playing all up in your eardrums, these things do a startling job at blocking out other noises, so be careful not to jog into a moving van or anything. Safety first!" "When I put these on, they make my ears hurt after only ten to fifteen minutes. " "These headphones are all right, but are not meant for people with small ears." "The real problem with these headphones is that they're seemingly programmed to break down after 90 days." "So I have funny shaped ears. They are kind of elfish so, needless to say, my ears don't take very well to ANY headphones unless they go on the outside of the ear. I can't wear earbuds at all. But these badboys are amazing."
Some LOVED these headphones, other HATED them... what was I to do? I bought them. We'll see, they were cheap at any rate.

But I've found myself pondering if I have small or big or medium sized ears and how that will affect the way these headphones fit me. If they fit me well, does that mean that I have man ears? Wouldn't it be cool if people had ear sizes and we could shop for headphones in our size... just like shoes and pants?

I wonder if I would be a size 3 1/2 like my sister Genuine...

And I hope i don't run into a moving van... Was that reviewer cautioning from experience?

He reminded me of Skyler Simnitt

I went to the midnight showing of HP6 last night. Yes, there were a lot of people dressed up in a variety of costumes. I kind of think the whole Harry Potter in a red/gold tie and black robes is getting a little old. So I was very delighted to see a man who was refreshingly original in his costume choice. He went as Dobby, the house elf. Yes, he wore two bedsheets, or something like that, tied at the corners. Just like in the above picture. It was a bit scandalous since he was probably 6'5", and that's a lot of skin to be showing when you're that big... but I still thought it was a great costume.

My group had matching t-shirts with slugs on them that said "Slug Club"

Actually, my friend pointed out that what we had on our shirts were in fact snails, not slugs... but oh well.

I contemplated how funny it would be to go to the movie dressed as Hagrid, (not Ginny Weasley or any other cute girl from the movie who I might look like naturally) but since I was going there on a blind date, I figured it would not be appropriate.

P.S. I suck at Wii multi-player Tetris.

Flatlined at 24... tsk tsk

I got "the" e-mail today. I looked at my inbox and right there, the very first one was labeled, "Decisions" from BYU Management. I had a mini-inner-freak-out. Okay, so it was a moderatly sized inner-freak-out. Whatever. I paced my room for a few minutes, and then decided to pray. I prayed for help to accept the outcome of their decision, no matter what it happens to be.

I sat back down in my desk chair, and clicked on "Decisions"...

Wow. Then I started breathing again.

It is my new goal in life to do something like this. Totally awesome.
