yesh, i'm a 12 year old girl.

You wanna know where I was at 3:15 am on November 20? Well duh, watching NEW MOON! We did it as kind of a birthday celebration for Heather and Nancy (their birthday is really on Sunday) and it was a hoot. I learned a couple things though, like that I am not in any way a pleasant person at 3 in the morning or that even the "older crowd" that went to the later showing feels the need to squeal everytime Taylor Lautner's abs filled the screen. It was a good time ;)


Amanda, Nancy, Me, Brittnee

Team Emmett alllll the way! (I like 'em tough and sparkly!)

Brittnee's masterpiece, she copied the flower from the New Moon cover

The supid Cinemark people made us wait outside even though there was NOBODY in the lobby. I was so stinkin' cold!

Heather, Brailee, and Brittnee in the lobby (FINALLY) waiting for them to let us in our theater! So much excitement!

The whole 3 am thing just isn't for us. As Amanda says, "We look like DEATH"

Overall New Moon was a pretty good movie... there are a couple cheesy parts but that's just a given, it was WAY better than Twilight though!

breaking the sterotype.

I really don't know if there is a legitimate reason for me to be writing this particular post, maybe I'm just fed up with a couple things... I feel the need to break up one of these silly stereotypes that goes along with being a single 19 year old girl at BYU.

Guess what?

The boys around this place?

They really don't date.

They're in fact, really stupid when it comes to this particular matter.

I have been here now for three semesters and when I go home and that inevitable "Hey are you engaged yet?" question pops out of someone's mouth I just want to laugh. No, no I am not. By no means am I the girl that is hunting for her eternal companion, I am, however, the girl that gets sick of sitting around and waiting for that magical day when all the BYU boys will live up to all the hype and just starting asking girls on dates. I don't know what it is but it seems like boys assume that if they ask a girl on just one date then it means commitment, or even worse, a clingy whiney girl that they'll have to deal with. So untrue. A date is just supposed to be a fun way to get to know new people; it doesn't need to be pricey, elaborate, or last for hours. I guess this is just something that's been bugging me... I mean, I even caved and did the asking last weekend. Is it too much for a girl to want to be taken out every once in a while? Really?

my favorite day of the year*

*except for my birthday and christmas

Today (Friday the 13th) is national To Write Love On Her Arms day! I cannot even tell you how much I love this organization... TWLOHA is dedicated to helping teens through really tough issues like depression, self-injury, and suicide. I love supporting this cause since its such a hush-hush thing but most teens will experience some form of depression in their lives and this is an organization completely dedicated to making sure that those that struggle know that they have support. So I just wanted to get the word out there, remember to be supportive, open up and discuss these tough issues.
