Going CRAZY!
A few more friends leave, a few less continue corresponding, and it keeps getting closer.
School is drawing near and I'm in the process of getting things organized for school, WHILE I'm working at my dad's office and trying to spend more time with my family. Life can be hard to balance.
I used to think It's alright, soon it will be easier, soon I'll be able to relax more, to enjoy my time more... well, that was a ridiculous thought. I decided that obviously I have to keep working to make a better future for myself but I should spend some time to focus on myself too in the process. Balance is key! But what to balance, and how does school, church, friends and work all balance? Different measurements of each? It is terribly confusing.
Anyway, there are lots of new things that have been happening in my life. 1. I'm moving into my churches Single's Ward next week, and I'm frightfully nervous. 2. Getting into BYU for Winter semester! 3. I've Finally decided on my Major! (took me long enough) and I'm going into Nursing! How awesome? right? 4. I do believe that practically all of my friends have left on their missions who were planning on going. So now the limited few left have to stick together (which is hard when we're college students, traveling and going to different colleges). 5. I've come to know myself a LITTLE more than before. Not that I'm close to figuring out myself entirely of course. 6. And I've had quite a few experiences that are hard to believe actually happened. For one I learned something about someone I would've never guessed. And NO, I'm not telling who or what. Don't you love me? ;) Another experience came from a friend who I've lost contact with, I've learned how important it is to be there for friends, bc there may be a time you need them too. And there have been many other amazing experiences that give me more hope for the future!
Well I don't really know what else to say... I hope I've crystalized it for you. :) Keep reading, even if you don't respond I know there is someone out there reading this nonsense... even if it is just me. ;)

And now for Pictures with Maureen and Chels
So I went to Utah a few weeks ago to visit Chelsea Ellsworth and to look around BYU. It was super fun! I was able to go to some classes with Chels and we watched a million movies or so. I had a blast! Well, while we were there, we decided to take a drive to a lake, but on the way we passed Aspen grove so we decided to turn in and look at the campground where we share many memories. We drove up and took pictures, and it was so much fun to reminisce! Well here are some of the pictures we took on my camera. (her camera was WAY-cooler because it was an old fashioned camera she got from her grandfather.
Following our road trip we went to a park she knew to take pictures. It was an awesome park!
This concludes our taking pictures tour. Summary is that we had a blast and I enjoyed carrying around a camera for once! (which I usually despise) It was a great trip. Thanks Chels for the fun!
After taking pictures of the mountains we went by Bridal Falls and took pictures there.

(sorry its sideways) Chelsea and her cool camera!

Inspirational Musica!
So I wanted to share a few songs that whenever I listen to them I can't help but feel complete joy and/or peace. So I wanted to post them for you all! (since my music player is being stupid)
The first song is a guitar solo from a movie called Uncorked. I wasn't able to find the solo alone but I found a clip with the part (skip to 4:24 min if you want just the solo)

The second song is "I Stand" by Idina Menzel, I tried to find a link but there wasn't a good one so you can go to this link but personally I would just listen to the music and minimize the video.
The third song is based on a poem and is called "Human" by The Killers, I don't know why but I love this song.
The fourth song is "If Today was Your Last Day" by Nickleback, I usually don't like songs by Nickleback but this song had a good message that I enjoyed!

And I like "Decode" by Paramore a lot, but that song actually doesn't make me peaceful, haha I actually get angry when I listen to it... the anger that makes you feel good to be angry for those 4 minutes when you can't be angry any other time. (hopefully that makes sense somewhat)

There might be a few more but I can't think of them, so for the time being just listen to these. :)

Photography?!
Ok so... I'm a slacker I know. But hopefuly this summer I'll write more. I love writing random stuff, I like playing with people, I Love singing, I truly enjoy traveling, I like acting, And I love helping others (hopefully though nursing in a few years). There are so many things that I like that its hard to keep up with everything I want to do!
Well I found something else I like to do on top of that list! haha Photography! I don't havea professional camera, and in fact its my sisters old camera, but its tons better than my old camera! It also has lots of picture options that are really awesome! So... I decided to play with it one day and I'm showing you some that I liked! :) And yes Annie, a lot of them are of me but hey my sisters were busy... what else was I supposed to do? ;)

I tried using lots of different color tones for pictures then I tried Negative! It was awesome! Especially taking pictures of my cieling. It looked like a solar system! Cool huh?
So I can take photos next to eachother in sets of 2, 3, and 4, here are some examples!
I found that my dining room was very pleasing to the eye in black and white. (and turned to a slight angle)
And Finally, I found the perfect place to take really cool pictures! And no you can't steal my spot!
I love My New-Old camera! Can't you tell? ;) Yay for photography!Monday, April 27, 2009
AGONY!
Yep Agony.
~My sister was in the school play this year, Into the Woods. I loved it but one of my favorite songs had to be... Agony! yep the priceless princes singing of their woes when it comes to girls. Who would have thought?!
(For more on Agony the song visit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc_GEhu6oCY)
Ya well for some reason I realized Agony comes in more forms than just a silly song.
For one, it comes in the form of physical pain. No I haven't felt agony due to pains, but annoying pain from sleeping the wrong way on my neck the other night.
Two, agony can be severe annoyance with your siblings. grrr... Hey no one said living in a house of moody teenage girls would be fun.
Three, agony can be emotional hurt felt for others who are stupid in their decisions. And I'm not talking big life altering decisions, I'm talking small decisions that eventually lead to a stupid mess that you can't get out of. Why are people so stupid? honestly! ok pesimism hopefully leaving.
Four, and lastly, agony can be guilt for doing something wrong that has flipped lots of switches that you would rather not be switched. It is the unceasing annoyance that says "you started it" "that was your fault" "why don't you ever learn?"
Agony.

Boot Camp!!!
For the joy of all those who read consistently and get angry when I'm slow at writing new posts... here's a new one! ;) Tonight I attended BOOT CAMP! The most killer thing of all killer things! (well at least I think so) Tonight I realized how weak my arms really are. While trying to do push ups and lifting one arm off the ground, my other arm was shaking so much I literally fell on myself. Of course that was after earlier stretches, but still I don't think I've ever been that shaky. Anywho! my arms kill, my thighs ache, my triceps are burning and I'm surprised I can move my hands enough to write this! Then again I better be able to move again soon... I still have homework to do. :( Well It was tricky and very difficult! But after the burning sensation leaves and your body is numb to the aches and pains, its not all that bad. ;) Hopefully tomorrow when I'm dancing, I won't kill over and fall on the other girls. :p
If anyone is considering boot camp as an extra-curricular activity that gets you in shape, I definitely recommend it! Try it out and see what you think!

Happily Never After
****SPOILER ALERT****
I'm revealing information about the movie Becoming Jane so if you haven't seen it, see it now! haha
Just a month ago I watched Becoming Jane. For as long as I can remember I've always loved Jane Austen books. They were some of my favorites, so watching the supposed movie of her life was pure joy to me. Well I always new Jane never married but as much as I like the truth I Love Happy endings. Her's is not the happiest. Happy endings do not always come to the Good-hearted.
The whole movie I knew something would go terribly wrong with the man she loved. But I figured he'd pass away which would be sad but I thought it would be tragically happy! Instead someone lead an influential uncle astray. "HOW DARE HE!" I must say that I hated, and yes I really hated, the character who ruined Jane and Tom's happiness. Everything would have been perfect and gone so well, even though they would be poor they would have been sincerely happy! But NO! some stupid guy had to get in the middle and just ruin everything. Although Jane and Tom did not blame the other for the problems that came between them they were seperated and didn't hear from or see each other for many many years. How sad to love someone so much just to torn from them due to someone else. Ok ok I know it wasn't only that guys fault. The way Tom and Jane thought also hindered things but honestly I could not forgive the injustifiable character who ruined that happily ever after. Happy endings do not always come to the good-hearted.
Well after a month of letting the character injure my thoughts I realized that there was no point to getting angry. Its all in the past, and because Jane was heartbroken she wrote the beautiful novels that I love so dearly! I suppose that through the hardest trials, those who endure become the most beautiful of all, on the inside and outside. :)

So i've decided... That I want to write a novel! Haha this will peobably take many years (and many editors to fix my mistakes) until I can publish. But just you wait! I will find a way to relay all my thoughts through stories! :D And I will make sure all my female heroines get everything they deserve and more!
