UHHHHN TIP

ITS BEEN A WHILE.
hehehehe

Before I forget, I want to throw out a couple of things:
  1. You should probably click here and be impressed with my ability to successfully do a 30 day challenge. Somehow, I could do that but not blog... hm.
  2. Over break I discovered a band called Cœur de Pirate and I am in love. 

Et il m'aime encore, et moi je t'aime un peu plus fort.


Break was not a good time for me. I kept going between being pissed and being sad and it was exhausting. I watched the first six seasons of the Office, watched countless classic Disney movies, and read 3 Harry Potter books + a ton of French poetry. 

The first week back in Utah wasn't a great time either. I came in to it on the edge of a depression and things didn't look up when someone (we won't mention any names ;) ) decided it would be fun to call things off, turn them back on, then go back to being indecisive. No one has the slightest clue about what's going on there even now. So that's been fun! (sarcasm)

Semaine deux wasn't so bad. I was relatively happy. Things were improving everywhere and I was finally starting to get out of the slump that Missouri so graciously put me in. Then we hit the weekend. Davis Powers, that little lump of a boy, always trailing after Black (or was that Peter Pettigrew? teehee), decided to remove me from his life because I wouldn't give him someone's phone number. Bit of an overreaction, eh? Apparently it had been a long time coming. So that ruined a good part of my Friday night. But I managed to drink and not cry or puke so I guess some would call the night a success? Haha. Saturday was spent the same way as Friday (Little Big Planet 2, movie, free Domino's pizza) but without the drinking. Then Sunday night rolled around and I discovered that yet another person had removed me from Facebook - and I assume - from their life. That was a huge blow and ruined my night. I lost my appetite, was on the verge of tears at dinner, and resorted to curling up in a ball of pity after Corinne left for Scott's. haaaha. I don't really want to talk about him anymore since he and his girlfriend read my blog apparently? Wouldn't want to give off the wrong impression, like I want to be his friend or anything. Yeesh. That would be terrible...

Anyway...
I really want this dress:
so pretty

It's very common knowledge that I'm a picky eater. People seem to be asking me a lot lately what foods I do and do not like. Here are some foods that I definitely do not like:
  • Raisins, peanuts, cantaloupe, mango, peaches, pears, apples, grapefruit, peanut butter, steak, catfish, pork, peppers of any color, hummus, milk, raw carrots, pineapple, watermelon, calamari, sausage, hamburger (usually), cream cheese, sweet potatoes, scrambled eggs, ketchup
And for foods I do like, since people think I'm too picky to like anything:
  • Strawberries, bananas, grapes, oranges, tomatoes, mushrooms, salt, pretzels, cooked carrots (but only with roast so they're not very carroty tasting?), potatoes, broccoli, celery, lettuce, eggs (overhard, broken yolk), Froot Loops, Honeycomb, Special K Fruit and Yogurt. lol.

2011!

Happy New Year!

Things I did on New Years Eve:
  • Had lunch at El Nopal with Rose, Evan, Amber, MaCee and Molly.
  • Had dinner at El Nopal with Zach.
  • Drank two and a half bottles of wine while watching Titantic (for the third time this week) with Rose, her boyfriend Evan and my grandma.
  • Fell off my bed around 2am.. My phone fell off and I thought I was sober/ninja enough to reach it without falling. I was wrong.
  • Decided that sleeping on my futon would probably be a wise choice.
Things I did on New Years Day:
  • Watched 11 episodes of The Office.
  • Watched the first two Swan Princess movies on VHS with my grandma.
  • Painted my nails.
  • Started and finished reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
And here I was thinking I was being unproductive. ;) Oh I also went out and bought party hats before Evan and Rose came over.. Johnny and I had quite the party.


Band of Horses - Older
This song was playing when I fell of my bed last night... I really like it. hahaha

Whole-Z - Hood Stunna
I can't decide if I like this song or not... so many songs mashed together it's almost overwhelming, especially towards the end.

Little Dragon has been crossed out from the Upcoming heading on the right side. :( The show is strictly 21+. I was hoping that I could somehow bypass the system but I don't think it'll happen. Hopefully they'll come back to the SLC another time and play at an all ages venue... or wait to come back until I'm 21. I'm hoping for the former. Skrillex was added to the list and I'm pretty stoked on that. From First to Last used to be one of my favorite bands and when Sonny left to become Skrillex, I basically shit from excitement. Hahah.

I'm not sure that anyone even reads my blog anymore. But if someone out there is reading this, definitely check out some of these songs I've been digging recently. 


Band of Horses - Infinite Arms


Gorillaz - HillBilly Man


Sufjan Stevens - Heirloom


Bon Iver - Woods




The Lonely Island - I Just Had Sex

De joie, je devins un opéra fabuleux.
Out of joy, I became a fabulous opera.

I got a ukulele for Christmas. So far I can kind of play the demo version of Talking Bird by Death Cab for Cutie that they released on their newest EP. Someday I want to be able to play like this girl:

Eminem feat. Rihanna - Love the Way You Lie

Bruno Mars - Just the Way You Are

People are probably going to read this and either think I'm a total bitch or that I don't know the meaning of Christmas.. but I am pretty pissed about the gifts (or lack thereof) that I got from my uncles. 

Each year my Uncle Jeff gets really bad gifts for everybody at Christmas. I understand that his family doesn't have a lot of money because his latest wife put them in hella debt when she decided she needed to take college classes and become some kind of nurse secretary thing. But I don't understand the point of wasting ten dollars on shit like crossword puzzles and ugly Walmart t-shirts - things that people don't really need - when you can just give them $10 or a gift card to somewhere. It just seems like a waste. You're putting good money to bad use by wasting it on things that aren't going to be used. This year they got me a $1 t-shirt that my aunt found somewhere, some kind of weird fluffy socks, and a hairbrush... I don't even want to know what was going through her head as she was shopping for me if she thinks these things are needed by me. Last year they got me a book of crossword puzzles. The year before that I got a computer game.. a really cheap, stupid one intended for children. It's just aggravating considering I'm a poor college student living on my own. I could use $10, not a hairbrush.

My Uncle Greg, who isn't broke and got everyone really nice gifts this year, didn't get me anything. He gave all of the adults homemade jam and gift cards and all of the kids got candy and games and whatever. I didn't get anything. His excuse was that I'm an adult now and he didn't figure I would like homemade jam. .......Seriously? I love homemade jam. Corinne's dad makes it and it's pretty friggin' fantastic. The least they could have done was given me a gift card like everyone else.

I think I'm irritated mostly because I spent my own money on all of my relatives to buy them nice things and I wasn't gifted in the same manner. I have a $400 insurance payment due the first week of January. I would probably have money to pay for that if I hadn't been a good family member and bought presents for everyone. But now I don't and my mom is pretty peeved that she's going to have to pay for it. 

Now that I've blogged about it, that issue is out of my system. I'm not going to think about it anymore. I'm just going to lay in bed, watch the Office and play my ukulele, and hope that the next two weeks fly by. I'm ready to see my friends back in Utah and start another semester of school. 

Also, because it's been a while since I've done a #funfact:
Does He Love You by Rilo Kiley makes me cry. It has since the summer before my junior year. I re-downloaded all of Rilo Kiley's music last night and discovered an acoustic version of the song. It's slower and more heartfelt which, of course, made me cry all the harder.


Rilo Kiley - Does He Love You? (Acoustic)


Rilo Kiley - Does He Love You?

OH AND here's what I started out the day wearing:

But mom didn't dig the cut-up Girl Scouts shirt so this is what I wore for the rest of the time...

I have such style.
