i'm dumb

that is all i could say this morning....i'm dumb.....
i'm not sure what made me thinking waking up and 8:45 was this morning when i have a 9 o'clock class, i'm not sure why my brain last night was like its ok you dont have a class until ten, i'm dumb, and there was no way i was going to be able to rush out the door and get there in time because she doesnt let people in late so i'm just going to study for a little bit and then go to my test, but i thought i would share my fun morning with you. have a good day and call me to wake me up from my nap at 5:30

the debate

Just so you can educate yourself and just in case some other passive aggressiveness starts happening again, you can be prepared, and you should just watch it because when I start talking about it, you should be able to be on the same page and back me up :)



and i'm working on getting you a poster for your room :)

Never Trust Josh

The first moral of today's story is that if you're Brandon and you need/want a shirt to wear to a night out with EFY kids, don't ask Josh. The first thing he reached for was a pink stripped shirt that had the cuffs rolled up to about the 3/4 length. Ontop of that, while putting it on, Josh then proceded to grab his own cologne and spray it a few times on Brandon. That was just too much for me.

With that put to the side, today at work we had the BEST nametag EVER. The name on it was Howie Feltersnatch, and he was a Gynocologist. Say it outloud, and realize that it's a joke nametag. We couldn't stop laughing. It was just one of those things that we were so supprised that someone actually had the guts to put in an order for that nametag that we could only laugh at it the entire way through. The best was when one of the girls who was processing it thought that the nametag was funny just becasue of the job that he held, she didn't get the name. We had to say it a few times to her so that she could understand what was going on and why the rest of us were laughing so much about it.

Happy Dance

Okay, I didn't get a good grade on a test (mainly because we haven't had any tests yet) however. . . http://www.nhlcyberfamily.org/special/happydance.htm


The reason for this happy dance is sort of simple I went to reading time, which was a lot better than last week. YEA FOR NOVELISTS!
But sitting on the end of my row of seats was Prof. Williams, my 320 teacher, the one who is in current possession of a coppy of Alpha to Omega. We get done with the class, we're doing some small talk, and then while headed away she starts talking about my writing. She says that she hasn't read much (she's had a few book deadlines of her own, as well as being a teacher, doesn't leave much time for the free time reading) but with what little she's read, she said that she really likes it. She's a self proclaimed hater of Fantasy, but she says that it's not too fantiscal, and it's all with a grain of salt so it doesn't really matter if it is fantasy becasue it puts normal people into the world of fantasy. She says that she's underlined a lot of things that I've written and just written next to them, 'keep this, this is great, this is funny,' among other things. She then said that everything that she had read was really quite good and the only thing that I'd have to really work on is the structure and look of the book, but other than that she likes the idea, she likes the characters and she likes my voice in writing.
Woo!

Today's writing assignment, HIKU!

That's right, we get to deal with those annoying poems that are sylabically coutned and go 5/7/5. Some of note from me that I made up in class. . .

Futility

Constantly running
A mad dash through the city
Yet still overweight.

Stop It

Couples who make out
With the rest of us watching
To you-- we say stop

Tickle Me Extreme

Tickle me again.
Just wait and see what happens,
When Elmo stabs you

I was about to make the last line of the Elmo one be, "When Elmo cuts you" but I don't think anyone would get it here in Provo, expecially in my creative writing class.

Bargaining (I promise I'll be a better person if...)
Depression (I don't care anymore)
Acceptance (I'm ready for whatever comes)

kill me now

ummmmm...........get me out of here please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


girls suck and they shouldnt be allowed to cry, or complain, or breathe. I swear if i have to stay up and sit with an upset girl one more night this week i think i might kill someone. "i dont get to spend anytime with him, i havent seen him for 2 weeks, i just want to sit with him...we dont even have to talk." kill me now please. i love that they dont even have to talk, when truly that is what they need to be doing more than anything else. i am a fairly patient person but this crap is getting just plain dumb now. and seriously if you dont like the situation you are in then leave, get out walk around if you want alone time, who cares if youre a little tired, youll be tired for a little while then you will actually get some sleep instead of being all passive aggresive and crying. ugh. i just dont understand, i really reall really dont understand why these girls let themselves act like this or just let the guy take all the damage. seriously its your relationship too, its one of those things you do together so you can get mad at him whenver something goes wrong, and yes you guys do need to take the lead when it comes to certain aspects but come on! I am just so tired of hearing about how much they hate what is going on in their lives, if you do then fix it or say something, sitting there and throwing a fit inside your head isnt going to make the situation any better.
ok i'm done ranting now, i feel better, thought you should know about the world of craziness that is going on over here after you boys leave for the night. have fun in story time, i will see you when i get home tonight

by the way, i had a really good day yesterday with you, thank you for not being an idiot and making me actually feel sane :)

And now we're going to freak out just a bit

I talked to Professor Hale today, and things got really sort of scary. We started talking about publications, editors, competitions, and even the mention of writing agents and what would happen with my writing.

Know that little company, Random House?

Yeah, we're thinking there.

Random House, as in http://www.randomhouse.com/ as in the company who published authors like Dr. Seuss, The Diary of Ann Frank, Lois Lowry (Number the Stars) and other greats. Yes, when we do things, we don't do them half way, we go all or nothing.

*faints*

Now comes the fun of editing, writing a better intro, writing letters to editors, publishers, and let's not forget those agents that we were talking about.

On a scale of 1-10 on how weird this is feeling right now, we're definably up around the 10 mark.
And just because I can. . .
