Even More Awesome than I Dreamed it Could Be!

Yes, dear readers, you read that right. High School Musical 3 was off the hook! I laughed, I cried (not really, but I was kinda sad at this part in the middle), it became a part of me. I have been humming songs from the movie all weekend and today. I've been wishing that Mountain View High School was as cool as East High and that my life was a musical. Also for a sweet tree house in my back yard. The Boys are Back, y'all. And the girls, but if you've seen the movie, my way makes sense. Wow, I'm going to stop before my head explodes from the awesomeness. Go Team! (Wildcats, of course)

Come to the temple

Last night I had a really cool experience at the temple. It was stake temple night, and the temple presidency is being released. We had a special meeting up in the 7th floor priesthood room with the temple presidency. Wow, it was so amazing and beautiful. When I walked in there, I really thought, this is probably what the Celestial Kingdom will be like. I also happened to see Maren and David at the temple, which was exciting and made the whole experience even more special. If any of you ever get a chance to go to a meeting like that, you should go. I'm really glad that I did.

As promised, the fruits of my pumpkin carving labor. Ta da!!!


Pretty impressive, huh? I carved this little fella as part of a boys against girls pumpkin carving contest with the ward. Winners don't have to clean up the Thanksgiving dinner. Trust me, we want to win this. Unfortunately, I think the boys might forfeit. I don't want us to win because they're lazy. I want us to win because we're fabulous!

Kadona also carved a pumpkin for the first time ever, and she was very impressive. All of these are from different sides of the same pumpkin!




Girls rule! And Boys suck!

Shifty-eyed Weirdos

I was talking to Annalee a while ago, and we were discussing the awkwardness of looking someone in the eye. The problem is, aside from the personal invasion of course, that it is physically impossible to look at both of a person's eyes. You have to pick one, or stare at their chin, or maybe their left ear. Or you can be a shifty-eyed weirdo and switch back and forth between their eyes. It's weird! And Awkward! And Un!Comfortable!

To illustrate my point, I was recently watching the cinematic classic, "A Walk to Remember," and since I hadn't yet reached the inevitable, tragic end, I was actually watching the screen instead of blowing my nose or pretending not to cry. Anywho, Mandy Moore's character is trying to look Shane West's character in the eyes and she just keeps going back and forth, back and forth. I giggled a lot. Then I sighed, because they shared their first kiss that wasn't an off script addition to the crappy school play. Good times.

So, the moral of this story is that when in a situation that requires eye contact, don't be a shifty-eyed weirdo. I don't think it's super impressive to potential employers, dates, ecclesiastical leaders, etc. Life might be easier if we were all cyclops. Cyclopses? I'm not sure of the plural here.

Things I'm excited about

I am so super psyched!!!!! about several things coming up.

Numero Uno: High School Musical 3: Senior Year! Huzzah! October 24th, baby! And to whet your appetite, here is a picture of Zac from the upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly.


His hair is a little funky, but honestly, he has lovely eyes.

B, it's almost my birthday!!!!!!! And Chelsea's too. Yay! I love birthdays!

Finally, the Twilight movie! I am enough of a girl to admit that I have watched the new trailer ten billion times and squealed like a little school-girl! I also discovered this great picture that made me squeal. And I'm not a Twilight squealer. That sounded weird.


Its good for me to have some fun things mixed in with my soul-crushing real life activitays.

Short story short

Cause I don't have tons of time. But I thought I should mention that I have decided to stop blogging when I'm depressed or otherwise having extreme emotions, such as panicking. I think it really shows when that's how I'm feeling. I will only blog when I am feeling aloof and snobbish from now on. I'm sick of my posts turning out like this:


I also tried to find a picture to illustrate what I want my blog to be like (preferably me with my nose in the air, looking extremely disdainful) but I don't have anything like that. Instead, I have some pictures of what I suspect my blog is actually like:


Or maybe this:


Good times.
