Desperately Seeking Susan.. or Jenny.. or Mildred.. or whoever!!

Ok people. Looking for roommates sucks. That's right I said it.. sucks! I do admit.. I don't mind living by myself. That part's totally fine. But.. money doesn't grow on trees.. so I can't afford to live here by myself for much longer. If only I were a magical vampire-werewolf-Harry Potter and could like.. create money out of thin air. Alas.

I thought I was going everything right.. ads in the all the right places.. using my mad networking skills. But.. nada. Well.. not nada.. but all I get are nutsos.. crazies. People who are like.. totally! I'll move in! And then bail. Or others who seem great at first.. then they slowly start revealing their issues.. or lying about the fact that they have little yippy dogs that will keep me awake when I'm supposed to be getting the beauty rest. UGH! All I'm asking is for one. normal. person. Who's responsible and nice and laid back. Is that too much too ask? Tell me! I'm living in a fantasy world, right?

Ok, well.. the rant didn't solve any problems.. but at least I feel a little better. It's off my chest.
Just think good thoughts for me people. Apparently my thoughts are toxic waste!!! :)

Maybe one day I'll take a picture of my couch and put it on here. But you know me.. I break almost all of the blog promises I keep. So, you never know. Maybe it'll be a Halloween miracle.

This is Halloween...

First of all.. anyone who recognizes the title of this post gets 10,000 points (in honor of the stock market.)

I *love* "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Some people hate it. That makes me sad. I watch it for Halloween and Christmas. And, I have the special edition that came out last year!

Anyway.. it's almost that time.. and I need a costume. So, I'm asking your opinion. I have a few ideas...
1) Rachel Berry-from "Glee." I could easily pull this one together.. and if you're lucky.. I'd even perform a little ditty for you from the show. If you haven't seen it well.. here's a link:

I demand you watch it, or at least view some of the musical numbers.

2) I could go controversial.. and be the ghost of Michael Jackson. This would consist of a white sheet thrown over my head.. with a sign.. or at least a hat and glove to give people a hint.

3) I don't know.. something lame or generic like a punk rocker/goth/or emo girl. That would just be fun to do--go outside my "comfort" zone for a change.

All I know I have to match the absolute genius costume that was Tracy Turnblad two years ago.
Here's a pic: (It's on facebook..)

Unfortunately, this is not a poem.

My little brother is engaged.
I found out on Facebook.
They dated for a month.
He met her on the mission.
I've seen her twice--total time: one hour.


Yikes.
But.. I think it will work out.

A Couple of Things

1) EXPLANATION
Ok.. I promised I would explain those pictures. I usually keep my promises.. so I'm doing that right now. I think the first pictures is self-explanatory. I found some wax lips, put them on.. and put on a show for all to see. Or, did you think those were my real lips? Hello, Angelina Jolie.

2) ECHO
My roommate moved out yesterday. She found four burly men (at least they sounded burly) and they came in and took it all. In like, an hour. Pretty big accomplishment, I say. Now.. there is a crazy echo in the place. It's weird. It looks like I got robbed, haha. It'll just motivate me to look for some furniture, post haste!! Thanks to Megan for leaving the big bean bag. I wouldn't be able to watch TV without it. Anyone got a couch I can buy/have, etc?

3) EPIPHANY
I never really thought about it before, but how do homeless people shave? I know most homeless guys have those scraggly beards.. but some are clean-shaven. I had never really thought about how they do those little day-to-day things. Well, after work yesterday morning. I saw a homeless guy shaving. Somehow he got ahold of a razor and some shaving cream. He used the reflection off the trash can as a mirror. And he had somehow filled a plastic grocery bag with water.. and used it as a sink. Weird.

That's all for now, my dears.

Not Dead Yet

So I don't feel like getting out of bed..... what better time than now to update the blog I've neglected for several months??!?!??!!?

Haha, anyway.

To tell you the truth.. I probably haven't blogged because there haven't been a lot of goings on.
I did get another, different haircut though. I'm sorry I haven't posted pictures of that other one from forever ago. I guess I was just lazy and didn't put them on my computer.... maybe I will soon. (but, don't count on it!!!)
I'm still working the overnight shift at the good ol' k-u-t-v. Although, this past week I did a stint on the 9pm show. I can't decided what I like better. But, boy, it sure was nice sleeping at night for a change! I rediscovered my love of my bed. Ah... the queen. Queen size beds are wonderful, even if I just can't seem to sleep in the middle.

Oh! Also.. I'm looking for a new roomie! My current one, Megan, or Megsters, which I've never called her before.... is moving back down to Provo. She's going to be a book editor at a publisher in Springville! I'm super excited for her... I know she'll do great...shout out!!!

So PLEASE... if you know of anyone that's looking for someone totally wicked awesome (aka me) to live with in SLC... let me know! Just make sure it's someone I won't hate. Haha.

What else is going on? My little bro got home from his mission. That's awesome. And he's coming back up to BYU. Even awesomer. And my parental units are coming soon as well. Then, they're signing over Biff's deed to me! (Meaning, I will be the actual owner of my green impala!) Then, I can use him as a trade-in when I get a new one. If that didn't make sense... I named my car Biff.

I really can't think of anything else about my life right now. Sorry it's so boring. But, if I think of any good stories, I'll most definitely post them. For now... let me find some random pictures or videos I have and post them on here.. to make up for those other ones I lied about.
Enjoy!!









I'll explain these later... then you'll have something to look forward to!

I haven't blogged in awhile.
I'll write an actual, semi-informative post soon.


Love,

By the way, I did it. I cut off my hair. Pictures will come soon...
