Slight exaggeration, I suppose, but only slight! True story-this week I was planning on blogging about my summer obsession, So You Think You Can Dance. I would mention how much I love certain competitors past (call me, Pasha!), how many times I voted for Robert last season (so, so many), and my girl crush on Cat Deeley. We would be great friends, I just know it! And she would take me shopping, and we'd be super happy together! As best friends.
But last night, the unthinkable happened: my favorite dancer of the season got booted from the show. NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Nick, I love you! How did this happen???? So early in the season? After I already declared my undying love and devotion to you on Facebook? Sniff. Now I'm sad. I'm sure that I'll keep watching this season, because it really is my raison d'etre in the summer, but I am not happy. All I can say is "Boo! Hiss!" to America for not voting for Nick (how could you, America? I thought we were friends!). And to the judges who made the final call--I can't even. Ugh. You make me sick!
Sniff. Again. Look how cute, tall, and charming he was. To reiterate: I am most seriously displeased.

ABC Autobiography
Some kids who come to the library had to do this for school, and I thought it sounded both fun and time consuming. Plus, they kept complaining about how hard it was, and I made fun of them, so I figured I ought to give it a shot. Here I go!
A-Aunt. I love being an aunt! I'm related to the cutest kids in the world, and at the end of the day, I get to give them back to their loving parents. It's the best of both worlds.
B-Blind-At a recent trip to the eye doctor, the people made fun of my crazy prescription. Rude. But yeah, it's really strong.
C-Church-I don't just go on Sundays! I don't blog about church often, but it's the most important thing in my life.
D-Dogs-I wants one!
E-Eileen-My middle name, inherited from both Mom and Grandma. If I ever have a daughter (fingers crossed!), she will also get this middle name.
F-Fish-The only pet that I personally have ever owned. I miss you, Dexter!
G-Gorillas-My favorite animal. For a little while, I wanted to be a gorilla scientist! But I didn't want to live in the jungle.
H-Harry Potter-I have blogged about this often, so you guys know how much I love HP.
I-Internet-The thing that makes blogging possible.
J-Jam-I really like that reduced sugar kind. It's kind of tart, and the color is less weird.
K-Kickball-It starts with K. I don't really like playing it.
L-Librarian-It's my profession. And, oddly enough, the profession of many, many people that I know.
M-Meredith-Yay me!
N-Nedric-My car. Mostly I just call him Ned.
O-October-Only the best month to be born in.
P-Pink-My favorite color for most of my life, although now I'm not sure that I have a preference. I might like red.
Q-Quiet! I say this a lot as part of my profession.
R-Reading-My favorite hobby, which led to my profession.
S-Sisters-I have a lot, and they're all great! I always feel bad for people who don't have sisters.
T-Twins (like us)-Chelsea! My favorite twin! We have so much fun together, it's always kind of hard to remember that we don't get to see each other very often. Sob! If only someone would invent instantaneous molecular transport!
U-Utah! Best. State. Evah!!!1!11!
V-Victory! V as in Victory! A common phrase in our family.
W-Watching TV-I was going to lie, but this is an autobiography, and I really like doing this activity.
X-X-ray. When I broke my arm when I was 7, I distinctly remember that the x-ray technician was missing 2 fingers on one of her hands. Kind of like Fingerless Steve.
Y-Yo-Yo Ma-I wanted to say something about playing the cello and the piano, and this is how I fit it in.
Z-Zefron-My roommate, and the star of only the best trilogy ever made, High School Musical.
Well, if you're still reading, I admire you. And I feel really bad for making fun of those kids. This was super hard. It took me several weeks to finish, and as you can see, I'm really reaching with a few of these letters. I think they had to put in pictures too, but I am not that ambitious. Anyhow, there you have it. Me!
