gather to the chapel
i love that music changes my moods and emotions so drastically. i'm working on a mixx for andrea right now. for me, the best part of making mixxes is that i get to have it after i share it with that other person. and then, forever after, that music will tie us together. whether they liked it or not.
someday, i will make a mixx for this blog. it will be sexy sexy and just for you [reader.]
i cried a bunch today. most of the time, it felt good. two times that i shall share with you:
1. andrea sent me this GREAT quote that her mom gave her from Elder Holland. in answer to the question "how can i truly get to know my Savior Jesus Christ?": "Of course there are all the ways that we already know: praying, studying the scriptures, etc. But the best way to really know our Savior Jesus Christ is by our Suffering. We need to embrace those great moments of suffering because that is when we truly get to know Him. Often we would say to Heavenly Father: 'Let this cup pass from me', however, this cup does not pass from us and we must drink it but this is the time we will come to know the Savior more than any other time of our life. God loves a broken heart maybemore than anything else in this world. When it is hard and there is sorrow that is your Gethsemane. We are all willing to pray and read the scriptures but we are not all willing to suffer of to let our loved ones suffer. But we must go through all that to understand and to really know our Savior, we become more compassionate and then we are more inclined to help other because we know how they feel." this hit me so hard because i realized that no matter how crappy i feel or what i'm going through it's all part of life and will help me be closer to Christ.
2. i told mike that andrea was going to come back a week from monday and he said "you really do love her." why was that so cute and so tender and so heart wrenching? i'm not sure but i AM sure that it just hit me that, yeah. i do. i think it made me realize that i really love so many people in my life and it made me feel bad for ever thinking that i have no reason to be here or for thinking that i have no reason to be happy.
i think i saw justin bobby in smith's today. whoever he was, he was probably terrified of me because i squintstared at him for about 10 minutes while i stood in line to return a redbox movie. ah well.

face yoga
a special thanks to TIME magazine for making it possible for women everywhere to exercise their face as much as the rest of their bodies.
the marilyn monroe- repeated blowing kisses like a starlet makes for stronger lips and a firmer pout.
the lion- work on all the facial muscles by squinching up your face as tight as you can and then releasing it.
the buddha- a subtle relaxation pose to release unconscious facial clenching or tightening.
free your tongue- the tongue needs to be stretched and toned. any tingling means the pose is working.
satchmo- puffing your cheeks as though you were about to blow a trumpet will keep them supple.
temple dancer eyes- by darting your eyes in different directions, you can erase crows feet.
surprise me!- widening your eyes while keeping your forehead steady is a great brow smoother.
baby bird- to help firm the cheeks, chin and neck, this pose is an antidote to pesky jowls.
bumblebees- lip vibrations tone the mouth area and cheeks while helping to release jaw tension.

i want you so bad
andrea and i just drove all the way to american fork to take crystal some socks at work because hers were wet. then we got there and her socks weren't even wet. so gay.
i wish i had a crush on someone. i've been so upset about not having one lately that i think that if i ever get one soon, it'll be forced and not a good one. kind of like what they said on planet earth last night: "a sudden flush of vegetation is what every desert dweller waits for. and when it happens, they make the most of it." i'll make the most out of any crush i can get. haha.
it wasn't that bad hanging out with ryan all day on saturday. he's a funny kid and i can appreciate that.
i'm making fudge and other cookies and things today. i'm going to send some to jaxon and eat the rest. actually, i'll try to give it all away so that i can have the joy of making it without the side effects of getting fat[ter].
aubrey just got home and i'm on her computer. oh crap.

it only happens when i drink
panic attacks seem to come frequently these days. luckily they only seem to last for a few moments before i begin to not care about the outcome of my life once more.
i talked to dad today and he said he was considering taking me off his insurance. thats when i realized that i do not want to grow up at this point. i'm just a little girl! i then proceeded to beg my dad not to make me grow up. and he said that from the time i was 14, all i wanted was to grow up and now i'm there and i don't want it anymore. so true. you always want what you can't have.
while watching tv with april and andrea, i said something along the lines of changing my blog into one in which i just make fun of people. i said that completely seriously but i realized that i don't want to be that person. i don't want to be the person that makes fun of how others dress anymore. does it really matter anyways?
i saw a commercial about how some girls in africa have to miss up to a week of school each month because of their periods. this causes them to get wayy behind in school and many are forced to drop out. it was a commercial for always pads... they said that now when you buy always brand pads, a portion of the money will be donated to helping those girls be able to go to school. i wanted to go to the store and buy every pad there. good advertising?
freerice.com has taken over my time on the internet for that same reason.
i want to change the world. i'm tired of being upset about how things are and being too apathetic to actually do anything.
andrea in a nutshell... or a backseat... or a picture.
