can't...think....

you know i love maps

i got it for my birthday a few weeks ago. it goes in my room at home since it doesn't fit in my apartment...

i love it. the world is mine.

a tom hanks kind of weekend.

"This woman is the most adorable creature I've ever been in contact with. If she turns out even to be as good-looking as a mailbox, I'd be crazy not to turn my life upside down and marry her." - You've Got Mail

i also spent most of my weekend outside in a tent, but that's another story.

sundance film festival

today kylie sent me a text that said this:

Guess who I saw today? Michael Vartan, Rashida, the Arnetts, Bradley Cooper, Andrew Samberg, and Claire Danes.

that's when I almost threw up out of jealousy.

noooooooooo. are you serious!? you are the luckiest person ever.

then i sat there beating myself up for not going with her to the sundance film festival.

several minutes later...

No, I'm not serious. just wanted a reaction.

That might have been the meanest joke she has ever played on me.

trying to write good techno music

i was introduced to flula last semester. kylie and i watched this one first. but we had to stop watching it because we were laughing too hard in the library. and now, months later, his videos still make me laugh.

songs and bay 19

i was tired at work this morning. that is me with fetus face, using all my strength to keep one eye open while my show rendered. on another note, today's ipod shuffle was especially great while i was walking to physical science. i'm gonna getcha good by shania twain, at last by etta james, show me the meaning of being lonely by the backstreet boys, and hometown glory by adele. those are all songs i love to belt. i just told my self to hold it in until 3 when i was back in my soundproof editing bay. then you bet i sang those out loud.

pro

pro: i watched a really good documentary this week.

con: the store ran out of milk, so i can't eat my honeycomb right now.

pro: the homework load is much lighter this semester than last.

con: applying for my major is a little stressful and intimidating.

pro: new nail polish.

i can think of more pros than cons today.

there are more pros on most days lately.

family

i have the best family. i just felt like saying that today.

sister kirsten took these of sister kaity yesterday. and i just love them.

and p.s.- today is my amazing dad's birthday! happy birthday dad!

families rock.

lucky number

all my favorite byu guys happen to be #13 this year.

riley. for obvious reasons. remember when he high-fived the ref?

brock zylstraaaa. i picked him out last year. he's my boy.

and rob from the volleyball team.

kylie calls him handsome rob.

we like it when he gets points because he does this every time.

13. that's all.

i've posted this before

but it was a long time ago. and re-reading it made me laugh. it's one of my old journal entries.

14 jan

my last day as an 18-year-old. take it in.

nerd

you know you're a nerd if you get super stressed when you find out your planner is missing. like very stressed.

also, while you are searching in a frenzy for this planner, you are wearing the t-shirt you got from the smithsonian when you were 8.

big nerd alert.

i found the planner by the way. my life is in order once more.

and i love the smithsonian shirt. it has served me well for over 10 years. ha.

it starts tomorrow!

funniest show on tv.

do do do-do-do do do do-do-do do, dah!

tuesdays with jessie

i am going to love my tuesdays this semester. i sleep in, go to devotional, go to lunch with dad and kylie, work a little bit (maybe a lot bit), and go to one class (my FAVORITE class).

this particular tuesday:

lunch with dad and kylie: blimpie. they know how to build a good sandwich.

my FAVORITE class: humanities. the pictures in my textbook look like that instead of pictures of dissected pigs. and today we talked about michelangelo. love.

work: the show has been taking over my life this week. that happens from time to time. but someone has to edit that stuff.

ballet bun: do you ever wonder what your hairdo has looked like all day? i do.

college, semester two

cade sent me this picture during my nap today and it made me laugh. i've been friends with these babes since junior high and pretty soon they'll both be gone on their missions. carazy. love those guys.

here's to a new semester. i think it'll be good.

even though 100% of my classes are GEs. freshman, yo.

previous posts

Danny is the greatest!!!!

kevin bacon

the oracle of bacon

is pretty funny.

you type in any actor's name, and it will tell you how many degrees away they are from kevin bacon through movies. apparently every actor is no more than six degrees away, but i typed in names for like half an hour and didn't get one that was more than three degrees away (even charlie chaplin has a bacon number of three).

try it.

also,

it's my mom's 3rd most visited site on her computer.

my blog is #7.

thanks mom.

love that

afternoon on the grande jatte meets the office. yep.

winter semester

classes start tomorrow.

check out last semester's gpa though...

kidding.

that was back when only one of my six classes had posted grades.

it was fun while it lasted...

the break

january 2nd. and we ate outside at in-n-out.

what the warm?

danny wishes there was snow. just look at his face.

this break consisted of sleeping in way too late, eating many cheeseburgers and brownies, playing hundreds of board games, hanging out with danny every day, listening to about today over and over, watching 30 rock, losing every game of "hanging with friends", winning every game of "words with friends", not doing any homework (or working on my film major application, yikes), and quoting bad lip reading videos.

maybe my best christmas break ever.
