falling in love at a coffee shop

I was sitting in Starbucks studying and this came on. I'd forgotten how much I love this song.

Today is the last day of fall break. I basically did nothing but work and watch netflix. It was so boring and uneventful. If I didn't input each thing I did every day into the Momento app, I wouldn't be able to recall anything I did.

October 7-9

 

On the 7th, Riley went on a field trip to a pumpkin patch. The kids got to pick their own pumpkin, place in a hay maze and then learn about the hundreds of different kinds of pumpkins, squash and gourds. The next day was the Utah vs. ASU game where we lost, 14-35. It was cold, I was tired and we were losing so it was boring. I spent that night in Ogden with Chelsi and Michael and spent all of Sunday intruding on their family. By that I mean I accompanied their entire family (Wendy, Shayne, Cass, Noah, Chelsi, Michael and Mitch) to the movie theatre and then to dinner. I tried to be as un-awkward as possible since it was the first time Mitch and I were seeing each other but he kept making it weird and so were his parents. It was very obvious that they thought it was fucking odd that I was there as just a friend AND that Mitch was going to give me a ride back to Salt Lake. Whatever. We talked things out on the ride home and I feel like we can finally move on and be friends. When I got home Paul and I went to the dollar theatre to watch Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides..... It was so terrible. I am a huge fan of the Pirates series but this one was just... awful. The acting seemed unnatural and forced and I guess I just wasn't a fan of the plot. The whole 2 hours we were sitting there I was bored and unhappy. I've never been so disappointed by a Johnny Depp movie in my life. 

October 14-16

On Thursday I was getting pretty pissy about the fact that I hadn't done shit during break. So I hit up Chelsi. On Friday we threw a party of epic proportions where everyone got really wasted and had a blast.

 

Then last night Paul, Bottom Joe, Stuart, Corinne and I went to the Haunted Forest in American Fork. It was $20 for an hour and a half of wanting to pee my pants. Not because it was scary. I just really needed to pee. But it was really fun. It wasn't scary so much as shocking at how close the actors got to you. I was the leader of our pack so creepers kept jumping out and getting within an inch of my face. There was also a guy with a blow torch that nearly took out my shoe. Not cool. What WAS cool was the guy dressed up as Captain Jack Sparrow:

He was stumbling around in one of the rooms of the mansion you go through before the forest. We caught him afterward and I managed to snap a picture of him with Paul and Bottom before my phone died.

Speaking of phones, I got the iOS 5 update and I loooove it. I can't decide if the notification center or the ability to make custom text tones is my favorite. I love everything. I especially love this tumblr called Shit That Siri Says. It's a collection of screenshots of things that Siri has responded on the new iPhone 4S. It makes me so jealous of 4S owners...

Anyway. Back to school tomorrow. It'll be my first time to French class in two weeks. I'm excited to see how much Luc picks on me. À bientôt!

ilove my mommy

I have two things to show you that my mommy bought me today. Are you ready? :D

YAY, A TV AND AN IPHONE 4!

I called the Best Buy in Liberty this morning to get an estimation on how long it would take for another batch of iPhone 4s to come in. I figured that if it was going to be a long time, I'd just order one off the Apple website and wait three weeks. But the guy I talked to on the phone told me that people hadn't been showing up to claim their phones so I could get one! So I set an appointment and my mom and I headed for the city! It's not that different from the iPhone I already had but I'm materialistic and I have to be up-to-date with my Apple products. Haha. There's a sad part to this tale though.. :( When I got home, I synced my new iPhone to my Mac and somehow the software got reverted back to 3G and my FaceTime option disappeared. I downloaded the 4.0.1 update and installed it but it didn't do anything good, so I restored it to factory settings. That didn't do anything either. I ended up having to call Best Buy and make another appointment with them to come in and see if they can fix it. If they can't they'll hook me up with a new phone. So, it's not too tragic. Rose and I had been planning to go to the city tomorrow anyway for lunch and catching up since we haven't been together in ages. 

Today was pretty uneventful apart from that. Oh wait, I forgot to mention getting the television. Mom and I stopped by Walmart to get some household essentials and somehow ended up in the electronics. She caught me off guard by telling me to pick one out and said that as long as I'm nice to my brother for the next month, I can get a TV. Hahah, strange conditions, am I right? Anyway, I got a nice little 26" Vizio LCD HDTV that should look great in my dorm room. :D 

Back to the uneventfulness now: After we got back to Trenton and I had my iPhone fiasco, Rose and I went out for dinner at El Nopal. We caught up quite a bit. I learned about her friend Guy who she plans to travel to France with sometime in 2011 and she heard all about the family feud that happened on the way back from SLC. Then we found a puppy wandering around my neighborhood (we've named her Penelope) and sat on Skype with Luiz for quite some time. He taught us the following sentence: Me rasgue até eu gritar tanto a ponto de eu perder a voz. It's quite dirty, ahahah. ;) Then we went for a run around the walking trail, which turned into a brisk walk with about 5 minutes of jogging. It would have been more of a jog/run instead of walk/jog but it's so disgustingly humid in Missouri that we were sweating within seconds of getting out of the car. Yuck.

Anyway, I'm off to read and sleep again. I shall be sure to keep you all updated on my iPhone troubles and oh-so exciting life. :) 

i'm home!

The title says it all. I'm hoooome! I don't have to sit in a car for countless hours with my family anymore! YAY!

We got into town right after 11. The original arrival time was supposed to be 7, but we stopped for gas a couple times, along with food and shopping in Zona Rosa. I was angry that we hadn't stopped at a single Noodles whilst in Utah or Colorado, so we stopped in KC for that. Then we went to a Best Buy to try to find me an iPhone 4. Sadly, all of the Best Buys and AT&T stores around that area are either sold out or have some in stock that are reserved already. So I'm on multiple waiting lists and hoping that someone calls me soon. Oh, and the great news about my new iPhone? I don't have to pay for it! I asked my mom if she would get it for me, as a parting for college gift, and she agreed! How ridiculous is that. I had mentioned at an earlier time during vacation that I'd like a television for my dorm room and she was going to get that for me, too. But I told her a phone would do over the TV. If I really end up wanting one, I'll find a cheap one after I move to Salt Lake.

I've added two credit hours to my schedule for first semester, making me a full-time student. Here's the class Corinne and I have decided to take:

• ESSF 1015 - Cycling - Elem; TH, 7:30-8:20 am

Yeah, it's gonna be intense. Now that I'm back in Trenton, Rose and I are going to start running together at night. I want to be in better shape when I move to SLC and I'm hoping this will help. I just don't want to be panting and struggling for breath as soon as we start class, hahah. Speaking of struggling for breath...

Hahahaha. I saw this gif on tumblr and couldn't resist posting it on here. I'd love to credit someone because it's so ridiculously amazing and supermegafoxyawesomehot, but I couldn't find the source on tumblr. So, props to whoever made that shit. It's great.

I think I'm going to curl up in my bed (my bed! yes!) and read Eldest a bit more, then go to bed. Rose and I have plans in the morning to see each other for the first time since the day before I left for Kentucky.. at the end of June! UGH. We've been apart for so long. :( Anyway, goodnight everyone.

PS: My mommy bought me a fancy $40 case to store my laptop in while we were at a Best Buy tonight. The inside is seriously softer than any of my blankets. I want to shove myself inside it and live there forever.

:(

Why does everything have to be so friggen expensive? I've told you guys that I want to buy a new camera, iPod, iPhone, and Flip camera. The camera with a memory card is $200, iPod is around $250, iPhone is $300, and a Flip is $280. I'm not backing off of getting an iPhone 4; I'm getting that next month for sure. If I have that, I won't need a Flip cause it takes HD video and it's just as easy to carry around. Plus, I have my Vixia that's been neglected ever since I bought it. I have 3 iPods and even though one is corrupted like crazy, I can deal. I don't need another Classic. But I feel like I really should have a new camera. So that's $500 that I need to scratch together. With the paycheck I'm getting on Friday, I would have enough money to buy both items. There's a problem though.

On July 11th, my car insurance is due. It's $360-ish for the last six months plus whatever they're going to charge me for the last month that I've had my new car. On the first sheet that my grandma got from the insurance company, it states that I should only have to pay a little over thirty dollars for the last month. But on the paper she just got, it says $280. I think I have $250 in my checking account right now. How in the hell am I supposed to come up with almost $400 before the 11th? There's no way. I'm so frustrated. If I hadn't gone to Kentucky - or if gas wasn't so much - I would be able to pay all of that with no problem. I just didn't want to pass up an opportunity to meet one of my best online friends. Gah, #fml.

Oh, I also wanted a GPS before I move to Utah in a month so I don't get lost on the way there. Hah. That's another $300. Looks like I'll be reading paper instructions or hoping my iPhone can get me there in one piece.

wants

I really want to start vlogging. But I don't only want to do it from my MacBook. I want to record all of the things that happen in my daily activities and show the world. I have a Vixia HV40 but my band director lost the firewire for it. In a nice enough gesture he bought me another one.. but it's a 9-pin to 9-pin, when I need a 4-pin to 6-pin. So I just bought myself another 4-to-6. The only problem is that when I want to upload my footage, I'll have to use the Dell downstairs and it's gone to shit since I stopped using it. My brother has downloaded tons of games and Nickelback songs so it's slow and crappy now. So that will really suck. I wish I would have bought a MacBook Pro that comes with a firewire port. Oh well. I plan on buying a Flip Cam soon enough. But I also want a new camera, ipod, and the iPhone 4. I know for sure that I'm going to be buying the new iPhone before I leave for college. Can't go off to a new state without having the most up-to-date shit, I always say! (Actually, I've never said that before now). ANYWAY, yes, I am so pumped for that. Frontward AND backward facing cameras? iMovie on the go? I can't wait.

While I was in Kansas City on Monday, I returned that white dress I bought a few weeks ago. I didn't really think that white material would clash so hard with my white skin. But it did and looked terrible, so I took it back. I now have a dandy little Forever 21 card with $21.32 on it. 

I like this dress a lot, but if I buy it I'll only have $1.44 left on the card. So I'm gonna wait and hope there's a Forever 21 somewhere on the way to Kentucky that will have this dress in the size I want.

Oh, also! A few days ago I posted a video of one of YACHT's live shows. Yesterday I saw a commercial for the new 2010 Cadillac SRX Crossover, which features a remix of YACHT's song 'Psychic City.'

needs

It really sucks being broke. I get aches all over my body when I start looking at things on the internet now, especially Forever 21. Seriously, my heart aches when I see cute things I don't need but would love to have and show off. For example, this cardigan:

I'm sure it would look really strange on me since I'm not that ideal super skinny girl with no curves/figure. But I would love to buy it and try it! Anyway, I'm saving my money up so I can buy the supplies I need for college (bedstuff, printer, fridge and microwave (maybe), toilet paper) and buy a couple other things that I think qualify as needs..

A new iPod Classic and a Flip SlideHD.

My iPod went crazy a few months ago and became 'corrupted.' It still plays music, but only certain songs. The other day I tried to turn on Head Automatica in my car and it froze and stayed that way until it died. It will only plug in to my desktop computer but then it makes the computer spazz out.. so I'm trying to convince my grandma that $249 isn't that much and that if she buys the iPod for me I'll buy my own Flip. I say it's a pretty good deal and she should take it since I'm offering the less expensive of the two. (The Flip Slide is $279). She argues that I have "two other iPods, an iPhone, and a computer.. do I really need another thing from Apple?" The answer? Of course I do. I don't put music on my phone cause I have apps that play music for me. My Touch is only used for other people's music and I refuse to foul it up with my own music. The Nano I have sucks, so I gave it to Jonathan. And my laptop is able to travel with me, but I want something smaller and more music friendly. I would rather store 160gb of music on an iPod than on my Mac. I dono, makes sense to me.
