what's this?

confession:
i no longer look forward to halloween. actually, i dread it.
because i'll have tons of beautiful, hilarious, individual, and group costume ideas that are GENIUS, and none. will work out.like tonight, i think i'm going to be yellow. (we're being the visible colors of the spectrum. ha.)

HM.


i've decided i'll just have to use my children for my wonderful ideas. like:


etc.

whatever.

do you illuminate?

i don't know why i'm blogging right now, i've been awake more than 24 hours and i'm terribly in-eloquent. but.

most concerts give humanizing characteristics to artists for me, for example:

ingrid michaelson-sarcasm

zach condon-humility

isaac slade-very personal writer,

etc.

jonsi? he's even more of a dream figure now. MAGIC. that's. what. we saw. and heard. he's...inspiring. go do, be, live, love, change!

(animal arithmetic from Jónsi on Vimeo.)

that, in the same room as me. myself. my body. INCREDIBLE.

also, funny things said lately:

timmy tim: guess WHAT! i'm gonna be FAMOUS! (whispers) i'm gonna be on tv! annnnd (irritated) i'm wearing a hairnet.

ratch: jonsi has a LOT of tall fans.

anonymous: i get so much bootie, i don't know what to do with it!

businesser: business ethics isn't a matter of choosing right and wrong, it's a code of conduct.

non-businesser: what're we, like pirates? just following guidelines!

lizard, i think: this one, a loose candle.

game player: ...we didn't keep score.

judger: that, is just a fancy way of saying you lost.

p.s. please please PLEASE lungs...don't become pneumonified.

if you're thinking about slicing your finger(s) with the lid of a can, i would advise not doing it to both your index and middle finger, on your main functioning hand. awkward. haha. however, i do love spiderman bandaids. also, i am SO glad i have ten fully functioning fingers.

there's that.

i often make noise, or wince when i experience or think about pain. physical pain, i mean. it really takes a lot to REALLY hurt, i just still get scared thinking about the pain. and it makes me nauseous and anxious...hahah it's really pathetic. there are some things in life that i take a much longer time than necessary to improve at, because i'm avoiding pain. haha. liiiike snowboarding. i am a big fat BABY when it comes to avoiding pain.

i think maybe, i'm not just like that with physical pain. lame?

if you string it out, it dries right out with time.

if something is bothering me about my relationship with another, i'll either just ask them about it, or get over it. i hate stressing about problemas that can easily be solved.

and i HATE the elephant in the room.
.sidenote. one time in high school, my dear friend wrote a one act called the elephant about "the elephant in the room" annnnnd, it had a few intense parts, and a few swearwords, perhaps slightly awkwardly placed (more there so that they could be there, than to add emotion/feeling/emphasis to the characters' words...fail.) and offended multiple viweres, who were mostly our very conservative parents and young siblings. BAD FORM. never forget your audience.

anyway. sometimes,we don't talk about it 'cause it's not appropriate, or it's scary, or...it's just complicated. so the elephant is looming and fat and ...it's kinda funny. but mostly just weird.

sometimes we create happy elephants, like when we want two people to meet, and they are in the same room, but haven't had the chance to be introduced yet...that's cute. like this.
i thought i had more to say. but i don't. just...avoid creating those (the bad elephants). cause...they're weird. and i have a couple right now. and i think they may not leave. hahaha.
love. bye.

also, something to avoid: elephantiasis. poor guy. (NOT elephantitis. that is not a thing.)

but where exactly is it?

exactly what i've been thinking on lately, pretty much. good thing i've become re-obsessed con este canción.

dear everyone, but mostly students.

i have a secret.

although it is important, in our lives, to gain knowledge, to learn, and to work hard...

YOUR GRADES AND TEST SCORES DO NOT DETERMINE YOUR SALVATION.

so chill.
kthanksbye. :)

riding bikes, making out...brushing teeth.

i love these two.

and the former? three very good things.

thanks, jónsi.

i love my roomates. talking and cooking and laughing and everything with them. last night i related to my darling viv a delightful and hilarious transition of events in my life...isn't it great how insane things can be in the present, but in retrospect they're just really awesome? i'm really grateful for my life, and the things that have happened in it. especially 2006 on. it's been pretty bomb. (also, it's just bomb that me and viv are the same person, there's that.)

missionary work is so great. i received a long awaited (well, honestly, they're all long-awaited, i'm an incredibly impatient person) letter yesterday, annnnd to be honest, even though he's my bestest friendie ever...i can't hear his voice anymore when i read them. partly because he's grown/changed soooo much. missionary work is the most eternal, selfless, wonderful thing EVER. I just wish i could go right noooow. but i know i can prepare more first, so i can be more effective, so it's okay.

one more thing. biiiiiking. is. sooooo. great. i want it to be warm forever. or i just may run away to a warmer climate so i may keep riding til my bday.

cloud cult's new album + jónsi + great thoughts about life previously discussed with a dear friend= best ride eeev. er.

try it?

bye.

summersummersummer tiiiiiiiiiime.

holler.
i've been craving sum blogging all week.
"I just have a lot of feelings..."
hahahahha.

but. thanks to miss broog, this is all i can think about right now:


i. love. will smith.
there's that.

but i do have one thing to say. it's been on my mind a lot lately.

one thing i've learned, in my life, and especially over the last year, is that it is SO important to be yourself. and your BEST self. and if the people you spend time with keep you from being that BESTEST self, and you keep them from being their BESTEST self, you need to quit. spending lots, or maybe any, time with them.
simply.
well, not simply. at all. because there's probably a really good reason you're spending time with these people that aren't bringing out quite the best in you, or you in them.
liiiike:
you love them
they love you
you don't know who else to spend time with
they're good looking
you live together
you work together
etc.
BUT.
we're trying to fulfill our eternal purpose, right? so if we keep tripping over each other, it's difficult to see that far ahead.
SO.
perhaps, "sometimes the hardest thing, and the right thing, are the same".
AND.
isn't it great, when we find people who DO bring out the best in us? and we bring out the best in them? :)

THEREFORE.
have a great weekend. and probably you should check this out:
why i'm happy.
