one of my favorite commercials ever.

the truth.

i am listening to a christmas song right now. sorry if that bothers you.

i saw a ufo last night. truly.

i listened to classical music today by my own free will and choice. moldau = love.

i have a crush on a cartoon.

"marian, my darling. i love you more than life itself."

there's always money in the banana stand, michael.

i just noticed that in basically all the shows i watch regularly there is someone named michael.

michael scott, office

michael vaughan, alias

michael "big mike" tucker, chuck

michael bluth, arrested development.

it's a trend i guess.

also, i saw a banana stand in real life.

well, it was a lemon stand. but that's close enough.

slumber party

in a blanket fort.

the best kind of slumber party.

featuring a little nicholas sparks on my laptop.

bangs.

i, jessie, vow to grow out my bangs.

i will not give up. no matter how badly i want to cut them,

and no matter how many cuties i see who can rock them.

they will be grown out.

bangs, you're done.

these are a few of my favorite things.. this week.

watching soccer with cameron and beanz. dirty feet from playing in the grass. stars. ultimate grilled cheese. clean sheets. crazy colorful sunsets. listening to edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros in the mornings. boating. eating cookies and sammiches in the sunshine during my lunch breaks. a nice guy named danny. long drives. sleeping in. jarvis. feeeeeeelin good.

jeep drive.

jeep drive = tangly ragamuffin hair.

jeep drive = the best.

headphones

sufjan stevens. the kooks. ratatat.

hello by martin solveig.

coldplay. our love has been rekindled.

If you haven't seen it, watch it. It's my favorite short film ever.

brown

one of these kids is a lifeguard.

the other works in a computer lab.

wishery

sorry i don't have any crazy cool event to write about.

i do have a crazy cool video for you to watch though.

this is a song all made out of sounds from snow white.

there are a bunch of disney remixes.

and i watched a few of them during my down time at work today.

my other favorite is the sword in the stone one.

i hope you all had a nice first day of summer!

ma ma ma. ma ma ma ma ma.

today is weird.

i don't feel like myself.

and i go to work all day every day.

and it's already june 20th.

i don't know what i want to be when i grow up either.

people keep asking me what my major is.

and i say "probably film."

but what i mean is "hhhhh i have no idea. leave me be."

i'm not good at being a grown-up.

not good at all.

i am good at eating with chopsticks though.

so at least i have that going for me.

happy fathers day

to the greatest dad in the whole world! i love you!

and i would also like to dedicate this video we made to all the dads out there today:

so-rry. canadian style.

evan: "look, your fireplace is blowing open. i think we're getting hogwarts letters!"

"don't lose your sushiiiii!"

let's try to look at our bottom teeth.

ok. whatever.

we both had fluffy hair tonight.

evan and i are friends. good ones.

this is what i do now.

i got a job.

i'm one of the editors on a show called byu weekly.

you should watch this episode:

click.

this episode is really really good. david archuleta is even in it.

the least you could do is fast forward to the end and see my name on the credits.

hehehe.

radio? no, rodeo.

here's the proof that i went to a rodeo.

my first rodeo. my last, too? we'll see.

i decided that if i had a pet bull, i'd name it shevik.

bull shevik.

get it? history joke.

blimey, 'arry

"Could Snape possibly know they'd found out about the Sorcerer's Stone? Harry didn't see how he could - yet he sometimes had the horrible feeling that Snape could read minds."

-Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, page 221.

Ha! Guess what, Harry. Snape can read minds. It's called Occlumency, and he is a pro.

Oh... dramatic irony.

Hey. One month from midnight tonight.

Ah my gash.

j'adore

the face is looking almost normal again.

the computer i bought came in the mail today.

i named it JARVIS. like tony stark's computer.

Just A Rather Very Intelligent System.

i love it.

i watched little guy baseball today.

that is one of the very essences of summer.

it was a good time.

i also love the sound of crickets chirping.

and i love watching a lightning storm at night.

one that's happening across the lake.

i live in a beautiful place.

oh, be still my heart.

i'd like to repeat:

if a june night could talk, it would probably boast it invented romance.

this is true

hey remember when i used to do radio shows?

i remember.

i was the president of radio too.

so long ago... ha.

and remember when my cheeks were a normal size and not bruised?

i remember.

those were the days...

kyle. kyyyle. kyle.

happy birthday to my big sis.

europe seems like a pretty good place to spend your 22nd birthday, if you ask me.

bon anniversaire, ma soeur!

photo from her blog

lellow

i saw this pretty yellow wedding on bleubird vintage.

since i've had time to read the whole blog archive, basically.

i want her wardrobe. she wears the coolest clothes.

chubby cheeks are cuter on babies

I may or may not have had a dream last night that I was eating Five Guys.

Gah.

Is this going to be forever?

the worst, really

i say a lot of things are "the worst."

for example

"calculus was the worst."

"waking up when it's still dark outside is the worst."

"rose's fiance on titanic is the worst."

but guess what. getting your wisdom teeth out really is THE WORST.

especially if you can't take your pain medication because you just throw it up.

and especially if your face gets swollen.

and especially if you feel like you're going to starve to death.

hhhh.

the worst.

oh well.

i have lots of nice friends who are checking up on me. thanks guys.

and i have a laptop for watching movies and alias season 4.

and it's johnny depp's birthday.

please bless that i feel better tomorrow.

we will cook lots of things over a fire

and listen to birds chirp

and hike through tons of big trees

and listen to coldplay and cat stevens because they sound good in when you're in nature

and look at stars

and cuddle under plaid blankets
