Día 24- Something I wonder "What if....?" about

Hmm.. This is hard only because I am a major "What if...?" person. I always ask myself this. So why don't I choose something fun?

What if Person With Eyes was real? What if I could physically see and touch him? Wouldn't that just be fantastically amazing? I think I would die if I met him in real life. He's such a hunk. He's pretty much the most amazing fictional man I can think of. There's very little I wouldn't do to meet him.  How could you not like someone who is so smart, caring, and strong? 

I can't think of anyone who could wield a whip better than him. Oh my gosh.. I like start drooling just thinking about that. I get quite excited. I won't lie. His chest and abs are those of a god. I'm pretty sure we'd make beautiful babies. If you know what I mean. ;)

I think one of the many things I find attractive about him is that he has that whole "demon turned savior" thing going for him.  That's hot. He also loves books. How can I not be attracted to him for that? He also looks adorable in his glasses. Now, I'm sure it's no secret that I have a thing for guys who shave their head. But Person With Eyes? He has GORGEOUS hair. I would love to run my fingers through it just once.

Okay, is it getting hot in here or is it just me?

So, yes. I wonder "What if Person With Eyes was real?" Except I tend to take it a step further and ask: "Why can't he be real?"

Día 23- Something I Miss

Well, I can think of two.

1) I miss my grandpa. He was always so supportive. I loved that he was an emotional man. He was honest, dedicated, and very hard working.  I know in the few years before he died it pained him that he couldn't work like he used to. But being sick never stopped him from trying.

2) I miss Melanie living close to me. I've felt a little off balance since she's moved. I feel like I'm in the middle of her and Danika. I like that, that I have a little bit of both of them. They seem to both bring out the best things in me.  Melanie came to visit this last week and when I dropped her back off at Raymond's this morning, I was so sad. In fact, I bawled the entire way back to my house.

Día 22- My opinion about my body and how comfortable I am with it.

Well, I think my body is pretty terrible. I'm really not that comfortable with it. I'm overweight. Okay, let's be honest I'm practically a whale. I also hate the bumps and stuff on my face. I long for a clear face, or even just the occasional pimple (without the bumps and stuff I have now).  No, I don't know what it is. I've been to a couple dermatologists and they have no idea. I hardly ever think I look truly amazing.

I feel a lot more comfortable when I'm wearing my jeans and a black t-shirt. I feel incredibly self conscious if I wear dresses or bright colors.

Día 18- A Quote You Love

I have so many that I really like... So I think I will post a few.

"No cause is lost if there's but one fool left to fight for it." -Will Turner

"The trick is living with yourself forever." --Captain Teague

"Three Secrets to success: Dream, Passion, belief in yourself." -Criss Angel

"You got one life. You get one dream. Try and make it happen. Don't devote all your energy to doing something you don't wanna do." -Fuzz

"We have to conceive it on the inside before we're ever going to receive it on the outside.  If you don't think you can have something good, then you never will. The barrier is in your mind." -Joel Osteen

"Everyone has a struggle in their life. And the question is: do you allow yourself to be overcome by it, or do you master it with unified strength and power?" -David Draiman

Día 17- Mom and Dad

Well, now I'm supposed to be talking about my parents.

My mom's name is Cheryl. She is pretty awesome. I love my mom so much even though we don't get along sometimes.  She's very good at what she does and really does love and care about those around her. She's very sarcastic but then again, my whole family is. I'm very proud of her for losing all the weight she had and for keeping it off. I want to be as good of a mom as her some day.

My dad is Brad. Haha. I love the sound of that.  My dad is a total dork. *clears throat* I mean a total nerd.  He is a Star Wars geek. He loves to joke but knows how to work hard.  A random memory I have relating to him is the day I realized why he always put 'BRD' when he got a high score in a video game instead of 'BRA'.

Día 16- Nicknames

Well, let's see.

• And
• Andrew
• Andolina (from Mr. Martini in 5th grade.)

Día 14- What I wear to bed

Well, considering I am not married I don't wear anything sexy to bed.  I wear whatever pajama pants I can find and usually a t-shirt. Sometimes I will wear a nightshirt.  But in all honesty... I need to update this section of my wardrobe.

Día 13- 10 of the most significant events in my life (thus far)

Día 11- My Favorite Store

I would venture to guess that my favorite store would be Barnes and Noble.  I absolutely LOVE books. I can spend a few hours in there just browsing.  It's a rare thing that I go in there and come out empty handed.  When I go in I can ALWAYS find a book I wanted and sometimes even a few that I didn't know I wanted.

I also adore Bath and Body Works. It's dangerous for me to go in there.  It doesn't matter if I have money or not. If i have money, then I'll buy something. If I don't have money then I'll get upset that I can't get anything.

Día 10- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why.

When I sit down and think of this I honestly can't say that anybody comes to mind.  Well, not right now anyway.  As messed up as I think my life can be at times, it's my life and I know how to handle it (somewhat).  I wouldn't know how to act in anyone else's shoes.

But... I suppose if I was FORCED to choose someone... I would choose the woman David Draiman married. ;)

Día 9- A song that makes you cry (or nearly.)

Well, I have one but I'd rather not share it on here.  But there's another one that gets me sometimes. It reminds me of my grandpa and they played it at his graveside.

It's 'I Know My Redeemer Lives'.  My grandpa was an awesome man. Through all that happened to him I never once heard him deny his faith in Christ. I love him and miss him but I know he's in a much better place now and feeling a lot better.

Día 8- Talk about your siblings.

Well, this should be easy since I only have one. :) Ashlie is actually pretty awesome. There was a time we probably would have killed each other but now I think we're alright. She's three years younger than me and is way more of a girly girl than I am.  She's getting married in just over a month and she's putting me in a pink dress!!!  She works as a CNA for South Davis Home Health and Hospice.  She's worked as a CNA since she got her certificate when she was a junior in high school. So of course she gets paid more than me. :)

Día 7- How I heard about blogger and why I have a blog.

Well, I'm actually not quite sure on this one. I think I might have heard about Stephanie blogging and I think I found out Danika had one...

Why do I have one? Probably because Stephanie and Danika do.

I'm totally lame I know... but that's okay.  I know I should write more but I'm like super tired right now. I think I only did this one tonight because Stephanie texted me and told me I had to. :P

Día 6- Inside Jokes

I've been waiting for this one! I would explain them but... it's more fun when only you and the other person get it. :)

• Person with Eyes
• "Did you guys actually make... contact?"
• Chee Chee the Monkey
• Speakers and Microphones.
• Runs with Brutes, Dives in Dumpsters, and Pig Whisperer.
• "Can you skit today?"
• "In a Fog."
• Pillow Service. (this is one of my all time favorites.)
• Dick Francis Points

Friends and Jokes are so much fun :)

Día 5- Something You Just Can't Seem to Get Over

I guess the only thing I can think of right now takes me way back. When I was in High School and got in trouble, any punishment I had my parents seemed to follow through on.  But when my sister got in trouble, it seemed like she always found her way out of it or around it.  In reality it probably wasn't like that, but it was how I saw it.

Oh, well I guess another thing I thought of was even further back, before I moved to Kearns. So I must have been younger than 5. We came home one day and I saw my cat laying in the gutter, dead. I'm pretty sure she was run over. I've remaind convinced for almost 18 years that Belle's death was my dad's fault because he didn't go catch her when she ran out the door...

Día 4- 5 things that irritate me.

1. When people use 'breath' when they mean 'breathe'. ---I remember this one time I was at one of my sister's dance recitials and looked through the program. They had a Maroon 5 song listed as 'Harder to Breath.' It's been YEARS since that recital and it still bothers me to this day.
2. When my DVR gets a mind of its own and decides to record shows I never told it to and delete shows I REALLY wanted to watch.
3. Wearing dresses. -- If you know me, you don't need an explanation here. Last time I wore a dress was five years ago for a wedding...
4. Stores selling Christmas stuff even before Halloween. THANKSGIVING IS A HOLIDAY TOO! It deserves speical attention too. Without it there wouldn't be as many resolutions to lose weight.
5. When I lose my favorite lip balm. That stuff is really good and I like to use it as long as I can. Now I have to go buy some more. :(

Día 3- Weird things I do when I'm alone.

I don't think I do anything when I'm alone that could be considered weird.  I pretty much do the same stuff when I'm around someone or I'm alone. So maybe I'll try and come up with a couple things I do that might be considered weird?

• I like to make my own sound effects when I'm pushing buttons on my phone or my iPod.
• I alphabetize my band t-shirts. I also have my shirts organized by color and if I wear them to church, work, or other.
• A lot of times I like to make my bed before I climb into it for the night. I just want to make sure my blanket is all perfect. Not that it really matters by morning.

Well... Like I said, I don't really have anything that I do when I'm alone that's weird. Plus, to me, everything I do is considered normal.

El Segundo Día- A Photo That Makes Me Happy.

I obviously couldn't pick just one!

I <3 my sister.

Me and Ash at the BSB concert.

My Daddy <3

 We were chillin' up at Snowbird.

My Mom <3

She's like one of the coolest people I know.

Me and Danika <3

This was way back when we first became friends.

Pancake <3

I love this dog. She can be so entertaining sometimes.

Día Uno- Things you don't expect about me.

This one really isn't fair because I can't think of anything that my only two followers don't already know about me...

1. I can never personally be a pet owner. Don't get me wrong, I love my Pancake. I also love Max, Dahlia, Caz, and Nessie. I don't mind taking care of them. But I just can't find it in me to even take care of a fish. Heck.. I flushed the last Beta fish I had down the toilet because it just wouldn't die. (I still feel guilty about that by the way.) I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love taking care of other people's animals but wouldn't want one of my own. I think I'd even end up forgetting to take care of a virtual pet...
2. I'm not a big TV watcher. By that I mean I don't really care to sit down and flip through channels. I'd rather record them and watch them later. Even then sometimes I hate how much it's piled up and delete them with out watching. I figure I can get it on DVD or Netflix sometimes.
3. I'm not a big radio listener most of the time either. Except I've been listening to Jack FM lately. But I end up getting tired of them playing the same songs all the time. Which is strange now that I think about it. I listen to the same songs on my iPod over and over.
4. I actually wouldn't mind singing. But I refuse to do it on account of when I was in YW and this girl told me that I sucked and that it sounded like I was humming when I sang.  I won't sing in front of you even if I'm comfortable around you.
5. I hate to talk on the phone like 90% of the time. I feel so awkward and never know what to say. But there are those couple people that I can be on the phone with and just ramble on and on with...
6. I'm almost 24 and still don't know how to cook very well. Okay, well maybe it's that I have ZERO confidence in my ability to cook. I can do anything with a microwave though...
7. I regularly think about what I would do if I saw a crazy person running towards me while I'm cleaning my entry way at work. I have the whole thing planned out. I also think about what I would do if I found a dead body somewhere in the school and what I would do to prove I didn't do it.
8. I absolutely LOVE getting letters in the mail. I like getting cards too. They mean so much to me. I pretty much keep any letter or card I get. I even still have little notes my dad wrote me way back in elementary school.
9. I don't mind doing laundry but I hate doing dishes.
10. I don't think I'd mind getting manicures if I had a job that would allow it. But seeing as the job I have now makes them pointless.... I don't get them.

The Lion King

So... I was just sitting here watching The Lion King and decided I might as well write a meaningless blog post.

I love this movie so much. I think if I had to choose one movie to watch for the rest of my life, I would pick this one.  You know, when I sit down and watch this, I want to cry in the beginning just because I love this movie  as much as I do. My heart still breaks every time Mufasa dies.  I love it when Mufasa's spirit visits Simba near the end. It makes me feel good when Simba finally realizes who he is.

As I got older I figured out who did the voices for Simba and such. At times I try not to think of the actors as I know them now so I can still enjoy the show as I did when I was younger.

I remember when they had Lion King toys at Burger King one time and I got a Rafiki toy and I found it most amusing that he had a blue butt.. I laughed hysterically. But then my mom or dad said "And how would you feel if you had a blue butt and everyone was laughing at you?" I'm pretty sure they said that anyways. I'm also pretty sure I still laughed about his blue butt anyways.

When I got to go see it in 3D I cried a lot of the time just from excitement. When I got it on DVD I discovered that the Blue-ray had bloopers/ outtakes, I was so excited. I found them to be quite hilarious! It was really neat to see something so funny on a movie I already love.

I still have my Simba stuffed animal I got the first time I went to Disney Land. That was like... almost 18 years ago. (wow that makes me feel old.) Then Ash got me another one when they went to Vegas. It's so cute. :)

I had Lion King everything when I was little. You know, bed sheets, comforter, lamp, pillowcases, light swtich covers.... I wish I could get them again. I'd use them. Even now.

As a kid I found it most amusing they wouldn't say the word 'farted'. Well, that's what I thought they meant and I'm sticking to it.  I also don't pay attention to all the crap about how you can see the word sex in it. I think it takes away from the movie. But whatever...

I can't believe that I just sat here and wrote a blog post on The Lion King...
