CrushCrushCrush

Gotta love some Paramore...

So I'm studying for an CPR test right now...pretty sure I'll pass. But I'm just kind of frustrated so I decided I'd take some time blog aka vent..

Do I look like a doormat? Do I have a sign posted somewhere on my body that I can't see that says, "hey walk all over me! I seriously couldn't care less!" Sometimes I feel like I bend over backwards for people, or just am nice to them in general, and they think it's okay to treat me however they want afterwards or just take advantage of my hospitality. Are you kidding? Wow.

I'm just kind of shocked with some of the behavior of people I know. It's give and take people! Or nothing at all. I seriously can't put up with this much longer. I'm running out of patience and my fuse is getting shorter and shorter by the minute. Sooner, rather than later, I'm gonna blow up. Gosh.

Ramalama Bang, Bang

Such a strange name for a song.

So. My Halloween costume is becoming more of a struggle than I thought it would be. My plan is to be Amelia Earhart--the infamous adventurer who was the epitome of independence. She's quite the inspiration so I figured it'd be fun to be her.



There's only one week left to get a costume and I only have half of it. My roommate Melanie and I went to DI in Idaho Falls last night and within 5 minutes of being there, she found me pants I could wear, we found a belt, and I have boots. Now, I need goggles, a scarf, and an aviator hat, OH and a bomber jacket. and a shirt. haha. (Does anyone have any of these things?) I'm not worried about the hat, goggles, or scarf because they have kits online. But a bomber jacket has been the hardest item to find so far because all the good ones are ohhh 2 grand... No big deal. I found some at DI but they were ginormous. Haha.

I found these pictures of her (or people posed by her) that gave me really good ideas, Hayden Panettiere being one...


Abby you'll like this one...this outfit is baller.


Anyway, I am so excited for Halloween. I MAY be going to Utah??? Trying to get a bunch of people to go with me. I've never spent Halloween in Utah before. Should be fun. I hope it works out.

So yeah, that's my costume right there! I'm so excited about it! :-) I love Halloween. I just wish I wasn't too old for trick-or-treating! Haha.

Bruised

I just looked over my blog.

I suck at blogging.

Haha.

That is all.

Hear You Me

Okay I'm gonna try this new thing... Usually when I post, I'm listening to music. So. From now on, I'm going to title my blog as the song I am listening to when I start it. Neat, yeah?

I got out of class REALLY early today (almost an hour and a half...its 3 hrs long) and I have a lot of time to kill... So I thought I'd post a blog.

My next class is Prep for Eternal Marriage and we're doing a presentation today on In-laws and conflicts between them and the married couple. I feel like this is kind of an important topic with me because I know I want to marry someone who gets along with my family. And since my family is so big, if someone doesn't like the other, that could be a problem. So doing this presentation has been kind of neat. When I researched for my section of the presentation, I found out that the top 5 common problems are as follows:

1. Annoying Habits
2. Criticism
3. Keeping In Touch
4. Privacy
5. Family Occasions

Pretty self-explanatory right? I thought so, too. I also found it interesting that this article was posted by "Psychology Today" and throughout the whole thing, the whole resolution was always "decide as a couple", "talk as a couple", "work together", "have fun", etc... It was neat, because in all the General Authority talks I researched for this, they said the same thing, too. Glad we're all on the same page here! Ha.

So I was going to go to the Boys Like Girls concert tonight in Blackfoot, Idaho. I'm really impressed with Southern Idaho's choice of bands for concerts. I mean really. Who knew Blackfoot would get Boys Like Girls and The Maine and Cobra Starship? I can't go unfortunately. Too much to do and all my money is going to other things (like tuition since grants/loans didn't work out) so its a bummer. But whatev. When I'm rollin the the benjamins I'll fly all over the world to go to concerts. No big deal.




HOW ABOUT THEM BRONCOS?????? O-M-G. I'm so so proud of them. 6-0?! It's amazing. I love it. And I love rubbing it in. Eddie Royal? Kyle Orton? I just want you guys to know, I love you two. I hope this continues! My weekends are so so happy partly due to the Broncos undefeated season so far! :-) OH and lets not forget about my fantasy football team. Tom Brady? You were my top scorer this weekend! Thank you. I love you. Larry Fitzgerald did amazing also. I freakin love football.







Since we're on sports, let's hit up baseball, too. I'm so sad my Red Sox are out. And the Cardinals too, let's be honest. Freakin Angels are completely responsible for the Red Sox being out. So, due to that fact, I'm rooting for the Yankees currently. Yes, I know. That's pretty much against the laws of baseball and sanity. But why would I root for a team that just killed my own? I know the Yankees killed the Red Sox too this season, but I do respect Jeter, and I kind of really want it to be the Yankees and Phillies. Is that even possible? I dunno. Whatever. I just don't want the Angels in the World Series.



Anyway, life is good. I love Rexburg. and I CANNOT wait for snowboarding season. The pass for the hidden gem here, Grand Targhee, is only 200 BONES THIS YEAR for students. Normally its like 750 for all adults. They finally got some brains. Early Christmas present? Ha, I'll take it. I'm seriously donating all the plasma I can so I can get this pass. Whatever it takes. I'm going to have a good season this year. Fact. Bring on the snow.
