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.

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...

So... Yeah

Well, Danika told me today that it's been a while since I've done anything with my blog. I'd have to agree with her. I mean... last I wrote was in February. Lame... Well, I shall fix that since I am here tonight. :)

Hmm... What has happened since February... Quite a lot actually.

I quit working as a part time custodian at Fairfield Jr High. It had been 5 years since I started. I think I quit there on like the 15th of August. Even after being out of a job since then, I don't regret my decision to leave. I think it was best for everyone. It's worked out well actually. I went and visited Danika, Tom, and Dan last Friday and Tom (the boss) will even tell you that I look a lot happier now.  I'm on to bigger and better things now. :)

Then my mom had a hysterectomy on August 24th and all was well until 3 weeks later.  She wasn't feeling good that Monday when she went to the doctor. We just sort of passed it off as a stomach ache. *shrug* Anyways, as the week went on she got to feeling worse. When Saturday rolled around we started telling her she needed to go to the hospital but she wouldn't listen. I even offered to DRIVE her down to where she wanted to go and she didn't take the offer. Finally on Monday we got her to agree to go to the hospital.  It wasn't a pleasant experience that night. I swear we spent like an hour or so waiting to get into the ER and then like 5 hours or whatever AFTER that for them to figure out what was wrong and get her moved to a room. She was there until the following Monday. But I suppose it was all worth it since she felt much better afterwards.  I did learn one thing though when I visited her the Friday before she came home. I learned that it's not good for me to be on the phone with my Grandma Smith with my dad AND mom telling me what to say.  The most intelligent thing that will come out of my mouth is: "You no come now." Yeah... I'm real smart. ;)

Then, in September I went to Estes Park, Colorado for the Scottish Festival with Danika, her mom, and a bunch of her mom's friends.  I had an absolutely splendid time. I so didn't want to come home. The festival was awesome. I got a real sword! I love it. :)  The guy who was selling the swords was really hilariously awesome. I also got to sit through the Tattoo. I wasn't sure I would like it very much but I ended up enjoying it quite a lot. Then I also got to go on a Ghost and History tour of The Stanley Hotel. It was kinda neat. Unfortunately I didn't capture any paranormal evidence. Hey, maybe if I get the money and time one day I can go back for one of the Ghost hunts they do or whatever it is. It's like $50 dollars and at night you go on a 4 hour paranormal investigation type of thing. I think that would be way fun!  We stayed at The Silver Moon Inn. It was a very nice hotel. It was within walking distance of all the good stores and the restaurants. I had fun sharing a room with Danika because I didn't have to worry about keeping everything in its place. :) I mean, you're on vacation in a hotel. That's not the time to be neat and orderly. Hehe :)  Anyways, I am totes going back there someday. I even enjoyed the 8 hour car ride on my birthday to come home. :)

I think the worst thing about October was when I was house sitting for Danika that first weekend. I had gotten their mail like I always do when I house sit for them.  Danika had gotten a magazine and I figured "Hey, what the heck. I'll read it." I was so excited when near the front there was a picture of David Draiman. I flipped through the rest of the magazine and was positively THRILLED to see that they had an interview with Disturbed. I was crushed and sorely disappointed to find out that it was an interview about them breaking up the band. I'm still upset about it actually. Now I'm not so sure I'll ever get to see them live. I totes regret not going to see them when they were here last September. Oh well... Danika reassures me that "bands do this all the time. They'll get back together." Knowing that didn't make it any less difficult to deal with though. I mean, the love of my life was not only getting married but his band wasn't together anymore! Since then I had refused to listen to them willingly or wear any of their shirts I have.  I wore my David Draiman hoodie the other day only because it was the one clean one I had.  But today I actually watched a Disturbed music video to see how I was feeling.  I can say that I probably wouldn't turn the radio off if they came on but I'm not ready to listen to them all day everyday again.

Hmm... I can't think of anything else really... OH! wait!

Tomorrow night I'm going to see JUDAS PRIEST in concert! Haha! I'm so excited :) Then, I'm staying at Danika's and the next day... We're having a double party! We're having an Oblivion/Research party! I can't wait to show Danika my new outfit. I've tried real hard to think of what I can do to make the outfit more perfect. I've got a few ideas and I hope it turns out well!

I am so in love with someone who has eyes and squeezable muscles.... I love him more than David Draiman :)

It's been a long week!

I had horrible luck in Oblivion over the weekend. I was trying so hard to complete this stupid quest for the Gray Fox. I'm like three quests away from being done with the thieves guild! It can't come fast enough. But anyways, I was trying to finish the quest and I just could not figure out what I was doing wrong. So I decided to work on another quest for a while. I had just gotten in a fight with a bear when I got the notification that I could level up! I was so excited! That news totally made up for my frustrations with the thieves guild quest. Does happiness ever last? NOT IN OBLIVION! The stupid bear killed me before I could save! I was so mad and upset that I almost cried. Oblivion life isn't fair. That happened Friday and I haven't played since. I hope the Oblivion guru can help me on Wednesday! :)

I'm doing so much better in my ASL class! At least that's the feeling I got from class the last couple times.  I think it's finally starting to click. Which is very exciting! I hope I can get into the interpreting program after this round of ASL3...

I took my computer to be fixed on Saturday. I miss it horribly. I hope I get it back tomorrow or Wednesday. Then I get to make a trip up to Best Buy to get a new battery for it! I'm also hoping to get a new camera. I sure do love my tax return money! ;D

Last but not least.... Boot Camp update!  Only like 76 more days or so until it's over!!! :D Just kiddin. Actually what I mean by that is the first week hasn't been too bad. I stayed within my points and hardly touched my weekly points! Except on Super Bowl Sunday of course. Even then I didn't go waaay overboard.  I set my long term goal and picked out my most awesome reward for when I complete it! I'm so excited! I love Ghost Hunters and T.A.P.S. so I picked out a T.A.P.S. jacket as my prize! I can totally do this. Jason and Grant are worth it! ;)
