Kitchen Dancing

I love dance parties when they are in your kitchen. Obviously I love dance parties everywhere, but kitchen ones are extra special! I have dance parties with my mom all the time and I love it! I just finished a dance party, in fact! This is how it went down:

-wearing a dress
-pumping good music
-making rice krispie treats
-hands covered in marshmallows
-dancing in the most fantastic way possible

It was one of my best dance parties. It also made it an exciting night because I watched "How to Train Your Dragon" for the first time... And loved it! Toothless is exactly like Skeetch, it's insane! I love these good, uplifting movies!

Speaking of movies... I watched The Ring last night. Half of it was watched by myself. I will never do that again. I was all cozy in my favorite pajamas, so I thought that I would be fine, but I was far from fine! I am positive that my heart has never been beating faster. I would've loved that movie if it had ended 20 minutes sooner than it did, but no! It just had to go on and make a really scary movie with a horrible ending! To make things worse, I had a bloody nose this morning! I nearly peed myself because I am going to die now!
...I am strangely attracted to the idea of watching the second movie, though. I won't because I will never watch a scary movie again without other people in the room to keep me breathing!

The spook alley went so so well last night! It was a good and wholesome spook alley filled with innocent and quality scaring! People fell on the floor in fear! I had no idea that people would be so scared by an air pressure machine!

Tomorrow is a minimal day, which means that tomorrow Is a party! I didn't go home until like 6 on the last short day! I think that I will be playing tennis with Maddy and the gang and making a trip to the DI! It will be so grand!

Have a nice night, watch your blood sugar, smell good, and have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Love ya, babies!

Confession: I am in love with Christian Bale 20 years ago with a New York Accent.

Read this for the basic summary of my after school day:

Oh, Maddy! I cannot believe how much I love you! I love you this much:

overcooked vegetables^99893402394838578439795834

No offense, mushy broccoli... Especially to the swimmers. I love you too.

I've decided to leave little inspirational notes in weird places around the school. I hope to make the days of Knights in simple ways that (hopefully) someone will appreciate. If you find a note, it's not from me. There are fairies of kindness that roam the halls of Lone Peak.

I think that you guys deserve some little snippets of me. I'll try...

• I once stayed up until 6:00
• I received my first A- since elementary school this term... I have 97.8% in that class, but you must have 100% to get an A. Stupid.
• I found a wood rock on the beach in California
• I stepped on a stingray in Costa Rica
• I've never been on a roof. I want to go onto someone's roof
• I squashed a fly on the ceiling the first year that I lived in my current house and the guts are still there.
• I found a naked hermit crab in the closet before I moved into my current room (and it was dead)
• I love the smell of cologne
• I am in love with Christian Bale 20 years ago with a New York accent, obviously! (I watched Newsies tonight)
• I like to party.
• Today I had my first visit to Pizza Pie Cafe, and I am in LOVE with the peach cobbler pizza
• I experienced love at first sight with a boy wearing a panda hat. hehe!
• I don't hate people. I do, however throw balls of hate at people.
• Chewing loudly makes me want to punch dance. I hate it so much.

I will continue another time, because it is 12:45 and I will be mad at myself in the morning.

Go to school activities and have school spirit! Also, read more blogs.

Once Upon a Pondering...

My little thoughts of the day (mostly things that I haven't really ever told anyone):

• My heart stops whenever the phone rings during class, because I always fear that it will be someone calling me to tell me that a family member has died.
• I often lay on my bed to just think. Sometimes just to cry.

Quote of the day:

"We don't discover humility by thinking less of ourselves; we discover humility by thinking less about ourselves."

 -Pres. Uchdorf

Go out and think of others in everything you do.

Biscuit Knees

"Is that Mick Jagger? No! It's a fat boy on a slip-n-slide in the corner! He has biscuit knees and he's ready to party!"

I love SNL. So much that my Halloween costume is a character from this wonderful show! Yes, so me skits are not the most appropriate, but that is why we have a DVR! We record the episode, then watch only the appropriate and hilarious skits. Kristen Wiig is my favorite person in the world. I have never seen a funnier girl!

My costume:



Wow! Is that enough pictures for you? That's a lot of pictures...

I Think I'm Low Right Now...

Don't worry, I now have views from Russia! WHAT?! I'm liking the international viewage!

I think that today is going to be such a good day. It has been a good day so far, and it's only half over! I do enjoy days that go by semi-quickly.

You should use the word "Loqua". Yes, it is a root... but it's Greek and it means talk! (it's in the words eloquent, soliloquy, etc.) It's a good one, and I think that I will name something Loqua. What should it be? No ideas. The next thing that I see on an adventure will be named Loqua. Or I will call you that if you speak eloquently. Woot! This will be good.

Have you ever thought about those people that you know of? Do they know of you? I think about that a lot. Are there people that know my name and want to be my friend? I know that there are people that I am this way about. I think that I will actually do something about it now and make new friends. I am really liking the whole first play date thing!

Also, I have always wanted to be little again, so I've decided that I will have a party that consists solely of things that I did when I was little. Examples:

• finger paint with pudding
• watch Franklin
• climb a tree
• eat with a clown poker.

It will be fun.

Mission Completed

Today I traveled on the ship 'Galileo'. We encountered many problems and died a few times, but it was so good! Savanna was the captain, Sara was the first in command, Kylee was the navigation officer, Sydney was in charge of operations, Aspen was the tactical officer, and I was the engineer. I don't think that there has ever been a more exciting group of people at the Space Center! Engineer is officially the most stressful job, but it is so in a weird way. At times, you are doing nothing. Other times you are doing everything all at once.

Our mission was called "The Hunt" and it really made me feel like I was little again! I love things that make you feel so imaginative! I need to go there more often. That's a new goal of mine. I will do things that meke me feel like I am little! This will be a good one.

I hope that your Saturday is going well. It's my dad's birthday, so we will be eating at Communal (best place ever) and going to Comedy Sportz tonight.

Hasta luego, mi amigos!

Make today a good one.

I'm short... Whatcha gonna do about it?

Today I stood on a stool and still was shorter than Spencer! I like it. I am officially going to do things with him more often. I had so much fun! He is the nicest person and he is so funny! If you don't know him, you should. I like new friends a lot! Thanks for a fun day, Spencer. Good luck with your test tomorrow in American Studies!

I like having friends that are tall. Only tall people are really fun to walk around by. I am so so so short, but I love it so much! I am just a small, frail person.... HA! Funny! I could probably kick your butt, so don't provoke me. Big things come in small packages! I hope that I am a good thing. I would like to be a good thing.


If you are tall, hug a shortie. If you're short, hug a tallie. If you are average... Hug a friend!

I like you. A lot a lot.

Crying

Crying is a good thing. I do very much enjoy it. I don't like crying for deaths, pain, or frustration, but everything else is okay.

Crying during sad movies is a necessity. In fact, I just finished a sad movie and I loved the tears! People that don't cry in sad movies amaze me. I would hate to not cry when your favorite person dies or someone breaks down. I know that it's not real, and that the take probably only lasted a few minutes before a coffee break, but I like to think that there is a real person out there that feels that way and I would like to give them a hug.


Go watch a sad movie and cry, please. If you have trouble, call me up and we'll watch it together.

I love you!


(I really do love you, I don't lie.)...( I especially love YOU!)

Much Has Gone Down

OKAY... I haven't written on this lovely thing since Tuesday, which feels like years ago! So much has happened, it's insane. I feel that no matter what I write in this blogo post, it will not compare in the least to the actual events. Nevertheless, I must try. Here goes it


Let us start with Wednesday, for that would be the next day for you if you are just now feasting your brain on this blog. Wednesday was quite a good one. I was assigned a BUTT LOAD of homework, but I've survived. After school, I got a haircut (the mullet needed to go) and went to the barn. The barn. Oh, no. It started out as Eliza, Rachel, and I planning to visit our dear friend Blake who now doesn't have his wisdom teeth. Then Ben joined us, and the situation instantly became better. (little did I know that Ben joining us would be a disaster).

We dropped Ben off at his house, then decided that he should come to the barn as well, so we went right on our merry way to Neighborhood Pony Farms. (the downfall begins...) I lunged Fancy for a while, because she was in a very hyper mood. All was well until she decided that she would rather run free with the other horses. She took off sending all other horses in the field into a charging flurry. They ran towards us. We had to jump the fence to avoid death by stampede. When I eventually caught Fancy again, we rode for a while and everything was just wonderful. I then mentioned bareback and Eliza jumped at this opportunity. She rode around for a while and loved it! Then it was Ben's turn...

Ben rode bareback backwards and Fancy trotted. It ended with Ben doing a front flip off of Fancy as she bucked, then an incredibly fast retreat by Ben. He earned his man points, but it cost a good elbow, soreness, and probably a strong hatred towards equine.

That's attractive!

After the nice riding and  a shower, Ben, Eliza, and I went to Devin's 16th birthday party! It was an absolute blast and some crazy stuff went down. It was grand! Our little trio eventually left after the party and made our way to Eliza's where we watched the good parts of Lord of the Ring. It was quite lovely and I now understand why everyone loves Aragorn.


Let's go now to Thursday...

I woke  up earlier than normal on Thursday to go to the Smith's cabin and to the outlets in Park City. I found some stellar items in Park City and froze my behind off at the cabin. The cabin was such an adventure at every turn. The cabin was colder than outside for the first hours, and I was only truly warm once I zipped up my sleeping bag. I watched the movie "Phenomenon" and cried so very hard with my mom, then went to bed. All of the bottom bunks were taken, so I had to struggle and wiggle onto the top bunk. The cabin doesn't have a flat roof, so half of the little bunk bed was too close to the ceiling to sleep on, and the other half had no railing. Rolling off in the night would mean instant death because of the unfortunate placement of my body and the metal things below. I crafted a pillow barrier around me, so that I couldn't roll, and squished my body between the ceiling and the hard mattress. I woke up with a bad neck, back, and arm.

*Before bed, I called elk and wolves in the woods... I had replies from the wolves!

We're now to Friday, but we're still at the cabin, so I'll just continue.

In the morning, I woke up to eat some extremely delicious cinnamon rolls. We then walked to boardwalks and climbed a few rocks. It was such an adventure.

I came home from the cabin and played with Eliza. Liza had a brilliant idea, and brought two toilet paper rolls for us to decorate and turn into Adventurescopes. She decorated hers as an ocean scene, and I made mine a majestic forest with an eagle soaring over it. I must say that we did good.

We used our Adventurescopes to find a good house to deliver our special plate painting, and doorbell ditched it there. We had much fun, so we decided to go to another house. Who's house is closest to Blake's? Ben's. We collected leaves and berries to write a message on his porch and decided on the word "swagger" because  it's a word that Ben doesn't like. We wrote it, knocked on the door, and ran. We hid on the side of his house, and waited for a while. I then came up with the stupid idea to check if they got it. When I looked around the corner, Ben's dad was standing there and I gasped/yelped so loudly and followed Liza back to hide on the side of his house. This was so dumb, because there is a fence there which equals we are trapped. Ben's dog then starts to bark, and gives away our location. I start talking to it saying "it's okay, Sadie. Shhhhh." while I am not even certain that that is the dog's name. it was weird. We decide that it would be best to just run away, but when we go to run, we see Ben's dad there. There was no escaping that one. We had an awkward conversation then went on our way, not quite processing what just happened. We walked for a while afterwards and filmed some stuff.

When we got back to my house, we got a sleeping bag to lie down on the hammock. It was so nice. We had such deep conversations about everything imaginable. (kids, friends, maturity, husbands, would-be siblings, brothers, missions, foreigners, grapes, barriers, stars, anniversaries of hand-holding, couples, stupid people, rule #7, etc. I've never had such a good time in that hammock. It all went funky when we heard rustling in the bushes. It was much louder than it was on the night of the "Feral Cats" blog post. It was also much closer. We freaked and decided to not lay out there as bait anymore. We were now on a mission. A mission to see those raccoons.

Through much screaming, rustling, meat, string, and filming... We now know for certain that there is at least one raccoon back there. I plan to purchase a motion-activated night camera for further evidence, but I am pretty sure that no other animal has a burrow in my backyard, is fairly big, and makes raccoon noises. It was 10 times scarier than the 'Feral Cats' night. I wish that more of you would've been there to witness that one. It was good.

Saturday


Today was quite good. I helped organize the food room, cleaned my room and bathroom, had a cancellation with babysitting, and went to the Fork Fest.

The Fork Fest. Let's just say that I plan to attend every year. There were 30+ bands, sweet things, good people watching, fun friends, good bonding, Joshua James, happy thoughts, and new favorite bands. Rachel, Ben, and I went to work with Emily to sell some sweet bracelets. (don't worry, I know how to make them now!) They are so sweet because they are made from parachute chord, and have some cool clips. They can also save you life if you are falling off of a cliff. You just unravel it and lasso a branch or an elk (wow, never heard that one before!). I just shortened mine in fact by about 1/2 an inch today. I am surprised that I could actually do it! And I must say that it is looking mighty fine.

The bands at this Fork Fest were also extremely good looking to my ears! I absolutely LOVED Joshua James, for he moves in the strangest ways. I touched some guy's sweaty head as he held Ben's head which was... yeah... weird. I am pretty sure that I am deaf now from standing in front of those blasting speakers. Every cell in my body was dancing when I stood there. It probably looked like a cartoon with my hair flying back from the power of the music! I hope it did. I liked Book on Tapeworm so much. I am pretty sure that that was the greatest moment. I was sitting behind a man that smelled SO GOOD while listening to the beautiful voices of that Book on Tapeworm band. If the singer had short hair, I would like them better, though. The girl that plays the piano has such a good type of voice, it's crazy. I love it. I would very much like to go to a show of theirs. That acoustic section was my absolute favorite! The lights were the greatest things ever and I am pretty sure that the night air mixed with the music and lights would be so romantic in a movie. Some of the people there could be in a movie. Every person there was crazy in that way that I adore. Normal people stood out. Everyone had that chill, artsy look and cool hair. I very much liked it. The people-watching was quite quality.

I had some good bonding time with my friends and it was confirmed that I love them. I sometimes wish that people controlled their feelings for each other though. It gets annoying. Let us just all be good, good friends until we turn 37, okay? 37 is when you can start group dating. haha!

I got a picture with Joshua James. This is that picture:

It's okay, I give you permission to be jealous.

And here is Ben with Joshua:

(I don't know your email address, so I couldn't send it.)

Rachel: 

I have just now noticed that he looks creepily the same in both pictures. Oh, yeah! They didn't get pictures with the real person, this is a cardboard cutout.

...Seriously though. It's scary.

After all of that fun stuff, Ben and I sat on the lawn to wait for a ride. There was shadiness in the temple parking lot. What? I know. I didn't think that anyone was so dumb! It was probably funniest when Ben thought that people were taking pictures of us, though. Baha. Weird miscommunication.

Sunday?

I went to Eliza's Sunday school class and had much fun! I am disappointed that Ben wasn't there to help me explain the Fork Fest, though. It was probably the first time that I have ever spoken in that class. I loved it. I walked home barefoot and collected fun things while walking home and singing a song about what I had learned today.

I then had a nice story time with Valeria and Megan about... things? It was good.

We're up to real time now, people! This is exciting. You should hear more about these events though, which means that you should talk to me. I always have a lot to say.

Go have a nice day and let's all skip school tomorrow! (rebellious.)

It's Basically a Thursday

(said in the classic Peter Pan voice) :

I do love short weeks, I do! I do!

Whoever invented school breaks is a genius, because they are much needed in my life. School hasn't hit the crying point yet, but it's fast approaching. I can feel it coming like Christmas- though it's definitely not as happy as Christmas.

Homework is so so so annoying. Especially dumb and pointless homework assignments like drawing homework. Who needs to have to draw at home? Not I. Speaking of drawing- a person from the rebel group in my drawing class is starting to grow on me. I promise to not become a rebel!

Onto an even less delightful subject...

Domes of Skeetch Farts.

Skeetch has had some intestinal arguments lately, resulting in a mass of these domes. It's worse than Saturday night, Eliza! Now, you may not be wanting to read about farts right now, but I believe that we need to raise awareness for this worthy cause. We must rid the world of Skeetch farts- one pill at a time!

Wow! That picture sums it up perfectly. Innocent house pets are out to gas us with farts.

Back to the Thursday thing... Tomorrow is, in reality, a Wednesday. BUT in the world of school, it's a Friday. We have THREE SATURDAYS this week. That is super good news. For the break, I am going to the outlet malls with the girls then sleeping at our cousin's cabin in Brighton with Brady's family. I'm supra excited! I like cabins a lot! There's nothing like freezing your butt off in the night and hearing carnivorous animals circling your location! (I kid.) It really is so much fun to just become one with nature and call all surrounding elk to bow to me, their human master. It's also nice to smell bad from not showering. Seriously. It's like girls camp!

I will NOT be hunting elk, but these pictures will give you a pretty good idea about how big they are- Yeah, I'm the coolest wilderness animal ever!

I just returned home from a nice "study party" at Eliza's. I'm pretty sure that we only fit in 15 minutes of studying... there was much scale laughter. That's the best way to laugh. I also scared Eliza three times. And this is not just the 'Oh!' scaring. These were full on duck and cover reactions. She's grand. I also had scripture study two times today! Once with my family, and once with my other family- the McGills! I do enjoy that family so much! We had a great time.

My parents will be going out of town next week, so I overheard my mom looking for someone to stay overnight with us on Wednesday and Thursday. I heard that there was a call to Jenna and Mike Dickson, which makes me really excited! Jenna is Alyssa/Spencer's older sister.

I've decided that I really like getting homework done in advance. I should try this more often! I am 100% done in my computer class, so I did the THREE PAGES of math homework that had been assigned the previous period. It was nice.

This is what Tahlia and I will do when we're old and married to eachother's cousins:
"Let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance."

-You and I (Ingrid Michaelson)

Deary me! I like that song!

Have a nice night and a wonderful Friday-fied Wednesday!

Also, you should eat cereal at night. It's a really good thing to do. Especially with chocolate milk!

Today is Zack's Birthday

Well, today another one of my friends has turned the big 16! All of my friends are so old. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ZACK!!! I like you so much and I'm glad that we are now friends (though it should have happened much sooner)! I like your red hair, your long Jedi braid, your tallness, your TOMS, your happiness, your skill, your rugby player-ness, your sweaters, your high fives, your sad face, and your overall self so so so so so so much! I had a lot of fun today and I hope that your day is simply fantastic! It's weird that you can actually go to dances and date now! That'll be so fun!

Today for Zack's surprise birthday party, we went to Jump On It. It was the funnest thing possible! I love all of those people so much and it was the greatest way to celebrate a birthday! Everyone could do their own thing while having a blast and being together. We jumped for an hour, sat for 45 minutes, everyone left Ben, Nate, Janelle, and I, then the four of us waited for another long long while. It was a fun long while, though! Ben and I played with coins on a little table and I learned how to spin them while Nate and Janelle did their usual thing. When our ride arrived, I had quite a good time in the car! There was a lot of music and Ben dug a 'Dr. House' hole into his leg-and even worse- his neck. (DEJA VU JUST HAPPENED WHILE I WROTE THAT!) I also heard the term "rat rear", which was very exciting!

It was a good day. Oh, and at Jump On It, there were a lot of "that bugs me"'s passed between Ben and I. People are weird.

Now, I'm off to eat old world pizza in honor of Columbus Day!

Thanks for a good one, friends. I like you a lot.

Happy Birthday, Bethanna!!!

Deary me! You've turned 16! Here is the post that you asked for. It's all about YOU:

Okay, friend. I am seriously bummed that you've left the miamaid bunch. Laurels has never seemed so far away! I like you a lot and I like it when we make cupcakes. I like that you asked for a blog post for your birthday, but you can be sure that this isn't all!

You are such a funny funny person! I will never forget that one sleepover... strange time... We should do that again. (except for the REALLY weird things...)

(I don't know how to put it on here, because the pictures are on my phone,

but I would put the pictures of my curly, short hair and long, boy hair right here.

I also might have added the funny ones of Emily.)

I am sad that I do not see you very much anymore, and that should change. (Even though you're not even in miamaids anymore.) We need to make mini doughnuts sometime so that you can try them instead of your brother eating them for you.

You're such a fun person and I like our little adventures that we have. I really liked the time that we played "spot-the difference" on your whiteboard while listening to your music and smelling like men. Haha! I love that you wear cologne sometimes. It smells absolutely delicious!

Well, happy 16th! This is a big one, so make it good. This day is especially great because it is 10/10/10! I really hope that you were born at 10:10... That would be incredible! I hope that your day is simply fantastic and that you love laurels. You'll have to tell me about you're first day soon! Have fun with your licence and dating! Whoa.. you can date now?! That's super weird. I like you a lot a lot, Bethanna!

Здравствуйте, Южная Африка

The most random thing that I've ever typed...

*This post is about nonsense. You've been warned.*

How could I possibly have views from South Africa? I don't know anyone that lives in South Africa, but on the map that shows where your views are coming from, South Africa is turning green!

Thanks for reading, South Africa!

Today was good. I know that I'm not easily embarrassed, but I simply cannot form words to talk to a person that I would like to get to know. Any tips? It's bad. I have that feeling of doing whatever I want to, but it's also a feeling of not wanting to embarrass myself. Stupid boys.

My highlight of the day so far would have to be Dane's sweatshirtt. That thing made my life. More people should have squeaky clown clothes.

Calligraphy is probably one of my new favorite things to do. I took notes in Spanish with that cool looking pen. I wish that I would've discovered it sooner!

I like to watch foreign films. They are so lovely, even though you have to read the subtitles. It makes me sad how people are automatically against this idea because of the subtitles. You really don't notice them after the first 2 minutes. If you would like to watch a foreign film, please contact me. I would like a buddy to watch things with. Most of these films must be watched on ClearPlay because other countries don't have the same movie laws as we do. I've been thinking a lot lately about Pan's Labyrinth. That was a really really good one to watch. Here are the basics of that movie:

Creeped out? Yeah, I was too...at first.

When I was little, I would wish on every birthday cake, folded chip, dandelion, 1:23 and 11:11 for a witch to come to my house with a purple lion that I could ride on. I still want this to happen. If you know a purple lion, please let me ride it. I don't even care if it is a toy lion that is purple. I just would like someone to grant this wish. I think that people should do things like that and grant an old wish. I cannot die without riding a purple lion.

My mind is off on a tangent, so I'm just going to keep riding the random wave and see where it takes me.

Maddy told me to "blog about it" when I said that I like her sweater, so here it is! That sweater is so soft in a way that isn't soft, the bright blue goes nicely with the deep black, and the shape makes me want to dance.

I like hands. That may be very wid, but I look at peoples' hands. Did you know that some hands are very attractive? Those are the best. I also like eyes. Blue eyes are the most fun to look at and eyes like Eliza's would have to come in second. Have you ever just looked at someone's eyes? Eyes are beautiful. Did you know that I was born with blue eyes and red hair? I sometimes wish that it had stayed that way (but I obviously would never want to change how I look right now. I don't like people that change what they look like. Be happy with who you are.)

Don't you just love adventures? The pile of poop was definitely a grand adventure for me! I am being completely serious when I say that it wasn't gross. many years just make it a pile of dirt. Please come there with me sometime.

If I scare you, it just means that I want to be your friend. I do not purposely scare others, I am just a weird person and that is sometimes overwhelming to people that aren't used to me.

My drawing homework is to draw six faces from different angles. If you want to donate your face for a model, I'd be glad to draw you. I will warn you that I am BAD at drawing faces, so it may just look like a cool rock.

Today I made a new friend! Her name is Justina. She was with me in the mob of legs.

I really like tall people, even though I am very short. Girls are okay to be short. I think I'm the shortest girl that I know. Well, not really. I tower over about three girls my age, but I'm the shortest in my group of friends. I do like being short. Everything can be seen from a different angle. Disadvantage: I have to hold my umbrella up really high. Tall boys are good. That might be a problem for me, seeing as how I am only 5'1 and shrinking...

Don't you just hate it when your best friend from when you were little has changed too much? Like you used to both be tomboys, and now she's a cheerleader, or you used to be all cute and innocent, not she's a troublemaker. I really really hate that.

Nice people are such a good thing! I like it when people give compliments to others that they don't know.

Okay, I've gone on much too long.

Here's one last thing for you:

Come to the game tonight!

Pile of Poop

You may think that I am talking about some terrible day because of this title, but was actually the highlight of my week!



I went riding tonight!!! (I haven't been in a really long while) It was so so so good and I had forgotten how much I loved it! Fancy was being ridden, so I rode a horse named Shilo. She was a HUGE horse compared to my little pony, Fancy. I couldn't see the top of her back to brush her! But, you should be very VERY proud of me because I put my foot in the stirrups that were above my waist! That's a hard thing to do, my friends. You try lifting your foot up to your belly button in a position to slide it into a stirrup. It was the smoothest ride of my life and I loved every second of it! I'll have to start sharing my riding time between Fancy and Shilo. They are on both extremes of horses. Fancy is small, dark, wild, and fast while Shilo is tall, paint, well-trained, and really good at controlling her speed. You probably don't want to hear all about my wonderful riding, so I'll just skip to the pile of poop:

I was finished with my riding, so I decided to go exploring around the barn like I love to do. I stepped outside, wondering where I would discover something new when I realized that something was blocking my view of the driveway. It has been there for many MANY years, but on this night, the 20-foot pile of horse manure looked especially fun. I climbed on up to the top of this wondrous mound of feces and found a lovely view of the Lindon night. This is now my new favorite place, and I wish to take you all there someday. Please remind me to take you riding with me and we can climb the mound together. I realized what a treasure this place was, so I obviously had to call Rachel to tell her what ridiculous thing I was doing at that moment. Best part of the conversation? "It's a really nice pile of poop". It really is a nice pile of poop because the years of sitting there have caused the manure to turn into dirt, which is not gross at all! There is some nice foliage growing up the sides that prevents the erosion of this landmark. There are fields on two sides of yours, which provided a grand view of the lightening storm. I really really like this pile of poop.



That's my story for the night. I hope you guys enjoyed that one. I sure did.

BUT, this post cannot be over yet! Obviously.

I had a really good day at school, except for the whole "classes" part. English was enjoyable, but only because Capri sits right behind me and Tyler had his first button unbuttoned and was smiling at me seductively with his 5 o'clock shadow and combed arm hair... (I'm talking about Tyler Florence, people. don't get too excited.) Physics went in one ear and out the other, History only half stuck in my brain, and Drawing was a horrible idea as always. Lunch was good, though! After school was even better!

After school, I went to Rachel's house with her and Ben. We had a quite enjoyable time! Rachel and I had a nice meeting under the piano, and a nice tramp talk... eh? :D while Ben rode around on a four-wheeled scooter. It started to rain shortly after this, so we instantly started the dancing and twirling. The cold rain turned into even colder sleet, which turned into murderous bullets of hail. I'm pretty sure that I will have bruises and my feet will never again be warm. (I might also never be warm again [Rachel] I'm liking the new inside jokes!) We took pictures and video of us dancing in the evil pellets of hail. I've never had so much fun on a Thursday! Ben later taught me how to put music on this bloggity, so thanks, Ben! I will be needing to add many more songs, but now I know how to!



When I came home from Rachel's, the power was out and it was the best thing that I could've possibly come home to! I LOVE NO POWER! I wish that it would happen more often. When the power came back on, I went riding, which brings us back to the pile of poop. That's a good full-loop story for you, folks!

Have a nice night and REALLY CRAZY dreams. Those are the best.

Also, you should climb a pile of poop. You may be surprised.

Peace, Love, Luna.


*- "angel baby" is the highest honor that I can bestow upon another human being. If you've been called that by me, you're loved.

I have a video, but it loaded for an hour and still didn't work... I'll try again another time.

(I do like to secretly film others and their talents!... Ben and Rachel...)

Commenting

Comments just make me happy. I am pretty sure that they make everyone happy, but especially me! They let you know that someone actually reads whatever you are typing about. I've only received one comment from someone that is not myself, but even that one comment makes me happy, because someone read what I said and they wanted to say something back.

It's stupid to me how I've wanted to comment before, but I felt like whatever I was going to say would be stupid or I was too embarrassed to just write a simple little message on the work of another person. I now don't think it's weird.

Today, I wrote the first comment on Ben's blog! I totally win! This post is all because Ben told me to write about being the first commenter, and I did! It made me happy to be the first commenter, because I now think that I was the first person to make an other's blog happy.

I would like to think that blogs have feelings. Not in a weird way, but it's like you are talking to a person when you blog. My blog is currently sad, because I don't know how to fill its life with my favorite music. I'm sorry, blog. I will find a way to put music to you. Seriously, I write more in here than in my journal on a normal day! My journal just gets the more fun version of these little excerpts of my life. I like having a different view of things in my journal and on this nice little blog. I would have to agree that I like blogging. It's rather fun and exciting!

Well, the head scratching has started, which means it's time for me to retire to my sleeping chambers. (Have you ever thought about sleeping? It bothers me. I'll write about it here sometime.)

Feral Cats

I'm pretty sure that I can't even handle all of these great days! Last night was, once again, spectacular!

Eliza came over with all of her wolf treasures and a great wolf movie that she checked out from the library (we didn't have the chance to watch it last night, but it will be watched soon). Among these things was a strange Montana shirt that said "The Last Best Place On Earth". I don't know about you, but this sounds like there is a list of all of the best places on earth and Montana was last on the list. Ha! I love Eliza and her fun wolf stuff!

Rachel was also invited over and Eliza and I planned to scare her with my Elk call. We were crouched (hate that word) behind a car, waiting for her to arrive. We were there for quite a while running like elk and blowing into the caller as loud as I could. Then the moment came to scare her. Her car pulled up right at the same time that Matt pulled up on his bullet bike. He pulled up inches away from Eliza and I and just looked down and said, "Hello" in a rather startled manner. I'm sure that Eliza and I were scared more than Rachel! It was great fun, though.

The three of us sat in the theater for a while talking about this, that, and all other nonsence for a good while before finally going outside and inviting Ben over, because the preisthood session was over. It was all lovely times. Ben and I kept hearing something moving in the bushes, and I thought that it was one of the monsters of cats that live next door, so we went on an adventure with a maglight to find it. We ended up on the highest part of my backyard when we heard what sounded like a raccoon. That's when things got scary. We ran to the porch lights and I am pretty sure that I've never ran faster! This was probably chasing us:

Yeah, it's a pretty freaky picture, but that's what my mind kept seeing!

Those three really are the best of the best.

And now there's today. What a good day! Conference was incredible and I loved having the cousins here. I like having most of my family live close to me. Family is a very good thing. I also decided that I like it when people actually listen to conference instead of sitting there doing something else. I also like it when my friends and family go to preisthood. Yes, ,it means that I may not get to play with all of them, but they're doing what they're supposed to, which is better.

Man, I write long posts!
Catch ya on the flip side!

I know good people

The last few days have been simply spectacular!

I officially have the best friends ever! Last night was awesome and we dominated at the game! The score was 42 to 7! Yeah, we were six times the score of AF! Eliza and I went all out in attire! We had black and gold paint on our faces in real Indian patterns. I had G-O on my arms and Eliza had L-P, which basically means that our awesomeness showed even more every time we raised our arms in cheer! Sahvahnah (haha) brought her snake to the game and it scared the pants off of Jane, which was pretty hilarious! I don't think that I have ever done as many crazy things as I did that night!

-I talked to the boy that EVERY girl in the school has a crush on (even though what I said was probably very weird to him...),

-I did a double thumbs down to someone that I don't even know because they were yelling for AF at me

-I did my sha-da-da dance with the necklace to someone that I don't know

-made up something really really funny to say

-cheered SO loudly

-had crazy hair

-did a whisk ukulele concert for a boy that I would like to be friends with

-told a boy in my drawing class that I saw a baby that looked like him (Mac)

-much singing and dancing

-TOUCHED THE CEILING! (Yes, everyone else could practically touch it with their heads, but this is a big step for me!

-talked to a long lost friend

-accidentally said something about two boys that sounded really bad, but was harmless... I really didn't mean to do that one...

Anyways, it was pretty fun! There are more things, but I really cannot think of them right now (or maybe they are just too much for you to handle!).

After the game last night, we went to Ben's house and had an absolute PARTY! I like those friends a lot! I had so much fun and I loved seeing the AF buds and to top the night off, Ben knows how to play and sing my current favorite song! Again, it made me wish to be musically talented.

Then we come to today... I had an excellent breakfast and an excellent conference time. I also had an excellent hike up at Sundance with the fam! I do enjoy the canyon...

HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY: I now have an Elk call!!!  I've been calling all fellow elk ever since the beautiful peice of equipment was placed around my neck. I do very much enjoy being an elk.

Currently, Michael and Carter are making pumpkin pie and I am planning a wilderness movie night. I have a good feeling that everything is at its best in every way!

Thanks for reading this! I don't really know who reads it, but I seem to have a lot of views. I like writing my fun days on here.

Hasta luego!

P.s.- If you aren't planning on watching SNL tonight, change your plans. It's funny.
