Hello, this is your conscience...

Sometimes I worry about being too desensitized, but then my conscience sets in. It's undeniable and definitely not ignorable. For me it's pretty much physical illness. I get a shaky and I get this terrible stomach ache to the point where I think I'm either going to throw up or pass out. I can't concentrate, until it is taken care of. Is this normal? I have no idea, but in time I've come to realize that it is one of the greatest blessings in the world. When it's to the point that you cannot physical function until you have set things right, it's kind of hard to do the wrong thing. Not to say that I don't do the wrong thing...lets be real here, but I have never done the wrong thing and felt fine about it.

So today I was thinking about this in terms of driving. It's like you've got a destination programed into your GPS, you make a wrong turn and that insanely annoying lady comes on to tell you that you've gone off course and you need to turn around, and she doesn't stop until you do as she says. How stupid are we if we just keep driving in the wrong direction? Maybe we think that we can find an alternative way back, perhaps the music is up so loud that we can't hear her, or maybe we just think we are mistaken in what we are hearing. Well, wrong, wrong, and wrong. Just turn around, the farther you go the longer and harder it will be to get back. As for those who don't hear, there is approximately 3 seconds between songs, 3 seconds. Not a lot of time, but plenty enough to here her plea...turn back. Finally, it's better to be safe then sorry. You don't want to end up in the middle of no where on an empty tank wondering how you got here.

Sure it's frustrating that even though the path is clearly laid out we still fall off course. But we shouldn't worry, just as sure as the beeping sound of the GPS, he will not fail us. We will surely know, and the decision will be ours.

Thoughts I have at 10:43 PM

Guys should have to go through some kind of training before they are eligible to date, in which they have to experience having a period. Cramps, mood-swings, heaving bleeding, chocolate cravings, the whole shebang. Only then should they be able to ask a girl out.

Would you rather be a hippopotamus, or a walrus? ..and don't just say walrus because the Beatles sing about one. Really think about it. I mean neither are super attractive, but both are kinda cool in their own unique ways.

What if all food was like gum? We just chewed it for the flavor, but never actually swallowed it? That reminds me of Willy Wonka when he has all those different flavors of gum.

I wish I could drop out of college and spend the rest of my days as a painter...and actually make a respectable living out of it. I mean I am an art major, but really.

eX's and O's

So the other day I was talking to my friend Micail at work about ex boyfriends. We decided that the whole concept is so backwards. We spend all this time getting to know someone, and letting them really see who we are, and then just because we decide they're not the person we want to spend the rest of our lives with we just quit. Quit the relationship, quit the friendship, and quit everything that we've worked towards. These so called "ex's" should be out closest group of friends, and our go to people. I'm not saying that we should call them up every Friday night, but when we're having a rough day, or just need someone to talk to, they should be there. How come instead we just ignore and avoid? How can you go from spending 24/7 with someone to never even talking. These people know us on a more intimate level then most people, they understand how we work and think. How did breakup come to mean erase from life?

Maile Peters (aka Miley Cyrus)

This is my roommate Maile. She is one of the coolest people I know, and I decided to dedicate this blog to her because she is getting married and moving, across the country, to North Carolina, at the end of the month. Yeah, I'm pretty torn up about it, but also super excited for her!

So first off let me introduce her with 10 random facts

1. She LOVES grapefruits
2. She's an Aggiette at USU
3. She's engaged to Mitch Bassett
4. Her favorite animal is a giraffe
5. She enjoys watching Family guy
6. She's kinda pigeon-toed
7. Her celebrity look-a-like is Reese Witherspoon
8. She's 5' tall, but she lied on her license and said 5' 1"
9. She has a dead front tooth
10...and distorted bones


So let me tell you what's so great about Maile. Other then being gorgeous, and unbelievably kind, Maile is also really disciplined and really smart. She just seems to have everything together. The best part about her is that although she has every reason to be overly confident and even stuck up, she's one of the most down to earth people I know. She doesn't like being the center of attention, she gets nervous talking in front of a group of people, and she has no problem being a complete weirdo. I knew we would be good friends ever since the first night we hung out created a whirl pool in the hot tub by swimming in circles. haha

So Maile I love your face off, I'm going to miss you SOOO much! Best of wishes to you and Mitch!

(Aren't they a gorgeous couple?)
