Another Weekend Update

This weekend one of my friends, Scott, that used to be in the ward but moved to Ogden for work came into town which he does often to see my good friend Kyrie (Qui-ree-yay)because they are kind of dating, but that's a different story. So he came to town and a group of us went and ate dinner at Winger's and watched game six of the Lakers Nuggets series while we were there. Lakers won, but again, different story. It was fun, thouhg, I did get some serious heartburn. I just cannot handle food like I used to could. Then we went and watched Drag Me to Hell. I know that the previews sell it like it's a scary movie, but it's not! It was so funny! It was by Sam Raimi and it was hysterical! I think it was the type of movie that Dad would probably enjoy, though there might have been too much vomiting for his taste. At any rate, hilarious.
Then last night Jared and I went and saw Fast and Furious. So cheesy, but that wasn't the main reason I was unhappy with it. (Spoiler Alert) They killed my favorite character, Letty, in the first ten minutes! I was so upset! And they also insisted on blowing up my two favorite cars one of thm being the black '69 Charger! Arg. It was sad. All in all, the movie was pretty dumb, but, hey, it was at the dollar theater!
I also worked this weekend. Like I said before, I am a kitchen helper type person and so I have to be at work at seven a.m. every morning, aside from Sunday. Man, that's so early! Anyway. On Saturday, none of the full time workers come in so there were three of us students cutting fruit for Monday.
I have never seen so much melon in all of my life!
We cut 120 pounds of cateloupe (and I was thinking of Dad for every second of it--"Remeber, you cn get married but you can'telope! Bahahaha!) 125 pounds of honeydew and 120 pounds of pineapple. See, we were cutting fruit for two cafeterias, or so we thouhgt. Our boss came in when we had fifty pounds of pineapple left, and we thouhgt we had another 170 to go, and he told us that the sheet was wrong and we were cutting for Tuesday, effectively saving us from one hundred scary pounds of pineapple.
THe funny thing is, Allan, our boss, never comes in on Saturdays either! He told us that he just had the impression that he should stop by and see how we were. And we were glad he did. Thanks, Holy Ghost! And thanks Allan for listening!

And there you have it! My weekend!

My Fun Friday

SO tonight was awesome! I think I ust had the best Friday I have had in a really long time, It's refreshing. So around four-thirty my best friend Jared and I set out to Farmington to spend the evening in Lagoon. I found a two for one date night coupon and we most certainly did use it! It felt so good to just get out of Provo. Not that I really dislike it here, but it's so easy to get tired of the same ole streets, the same ole stores. It was refreshing to get out.
Lagoon itself was a blast! It's small, which I have decided is a very good quality for an amusement park to have. Six Flags Over Texas drives me nuts because it's so freaking huge. Can't stand it. The thing was, though, today was D.A.R.E Day for a lot of fifth and sixth graders and then there were groups of eighth graders running around too. It was so funny. I am so grateful that I am not twelve or thirteen any more. So grateful. Jared and I were tripping out the wole time. And since Lagoon is so small, we would run into the same groups of kids over over. It got to the point where we felt like we knew what was happening in their lives. We really wanted this one gray shirted kid to flirt it up with this cute girl in a pink tank top, but he didn't. Dang.
The park closed at ten and then we went down to Bountiful to meet one of his old high shcool friends and we went bowling. Apparently, Bountiful Bowl has a deal on Friday Nights where you pay twelve dollars for shoes and a lane and you can bowl until midnight, so we bowled for about an hour and a half. I won the first game, but after that I made a rather pathetic showing of it. Though in th course of five games, I rolled two strikes and while I was in the bathroom Jard bowled for me and scored me another strike. I think I still lost that frame.
But it was just such a fun night that I thouhgt it was share-worthy! I hope y'all have a great Memorial Day Weekend!!!!

My One Complaint

Sorry, fam, I know y'all ae all married and hap-happy, but I am still just going to voice my one complaint.

Boys should just have signs (actual signs--non of this body language crap) that say what they are thinking and what their intentions are.

I have heard boys say that women are th ones that are hard to understand or they send mixed messages. Not So! Sometimes a woman truly puts herself out there and --nothing. Thanks guys. Thanks.

Sorry, again. Sometimes you just have to complain.

Summer Reading List

So I realized yesterday that I will have two months of just going to work part time at a cafeteria (yes I will be a lunchlady) so I will have a ton of time for my own scholarly pursuits. So I thouhgt I would share my summer reading list with y'all and take suggestions.

Ths Mistborn Series (I have already finished the first one and have started the second so that one might not make it t the summer)
Elantris
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (that's right, and zombies!)
World War Z (another zombie book)
Jane Eyre just so I canhave my fix of the classics.
Sabriel
The Luxe

And then from there I don't have any secific plan, but I do have a shelf full of random books!

Star Trek

So I have started watching the original Star Trek series straight from 1966 on Netflix. How amazing is it that we can still, 43 years later, enjoy Star Trek. Technology is amazing; it just blows my mind. Anyhow. I love it so much! The effects are a little cheesy and the fights are a lot cheesy but it is still so dang good! I have been enjoying it thoroughly. If my internet is working (a rarity more and more these days) then I celebrate by watching an episode. I have also further accepted myself as a nerd by admitting that I have a huge crush on Mr. Spock. Wow. Leonard Nimoy! Wow.

I saw the movie last weekend and it was excellent. It was a fun, enjoyable sci-fi action flick. Sylar from Heroes was a dang good Spock (not Nimoy, but good) and I have a fat crush on him too, though that might be left over Sylar love; I'm not sure.

At any rate, I encourage all to go and enjoy Star Trek, original and new. It's a piece of culture, really, as cheesy as that sounds.

My New Favorite Thing

So here at college I have been learning several things about myself and my personal identity and I have decided that I am a good 68% nerd, maybe 12% geek (and there is a distinct difference, or so I'm told) 10% slacker, and 10% undecided still. I think that growing up the way I did, with Rachel teaching my Shakespeare, Dad having me play Warhammer, and Joseph roping me into both Starcraft and D&D, plus my own love for fantasy and sci-fi made nerdness inevitable. I have accetped and embraced it.

Having thus accepted myself for myself I have also embraced one of the best things I have ever found online. Check it out. It pairs...well, I'll let you discover it because it is awesome!
