16 again?

Last night my dad told me to stop acting 16 and start acting my age. Blerg.

"A pirate shot me in the eye!"

So I came back from Disneyland with the SWINE FLU!!! AHH!! haha, just kidding. I did get sick, though, its just not the swine flu. well, I guess that's not totally confirmable (which is not a word) since i haven't seen a doctor. but i digress.

Disneyland was super fun! I even got to see my best friend from elementary school AIMEE ANKENY! and her little brother ALEX! YAY! I hadnt seen them for 6 years or something crazy like that. So it was super fun to see them! They told me lots of insider Disneyland things because they work there. And we are planning on meeting up again at Harry Potter land in Universal Studios when it opens in a year or so. She looks just the same, in case you were wondering.

Here is something funny I heard in a disneyland clothing store, there were three black girls and they were there for a school thing...
"I need to buy those pajamas though, because what if the hotel room is really cold?"
"Girl! Thats what the SHEETS are for!"

Being back in Disneyland brings back my first memories of going there. The first time I remember being at Disneyland is when Erin, Molli and my dad and I went for my dads work, back when he worked for Mervyn's. We lived in Livermore, so i was in 2nd or 3rd grade. On the way there I remember listening to the opening song from the Lion King about a million times, and also watching Return of Jafar as many times as my sisters would let me. I guess I've always been a Disney girl through and through. But i remember distinctly being on Pirates of the Caribbean and one of the pirates with a water gun shot me in the eye!! I was very distraught. My mom says that the first thing I told her about Disneyland was that a pirate shot me in the eye. It was just not fair. I also remember being on Indiana Jones and thinking first, that the snake was going to eat me, and second that we were going to fall into the lava and die. But I had a blast and then we got to meet Joe Montana! It was awesome!

A little over a year ago when I went I saw my first reindeer...and I realized that reindeer's were real animals. Who knew??

You're smothering me to smitherines!

I'm Home!! Woot! Last night at FHE we learned some sign language. I am signing to you, "Whats your name" and "awkward" right now. haha.

So I started reading The Cats Pajamas by Ray Bradbury (a collection of short stories) and Anna Karenina today, and I'm pretty intimidated. Anna is pretty long, and its also by Tolstoy. Those Russian authors really send shivers up my spine. I have a feeling I'll love it though. So I'll let y'all know. Oh, but last night I finished "From the mixed up files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankenweiler", for the RS book club :) It's a really cute, quick and fun read about two kids who run away and live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Its my first book club and I'm pretty excited, I just hope the other ladies are as into books as I am. We'll see :) I have a huge list of books I am going to read this summer, I just hope I get around to all of them, and don't fall back into my rut like I did for half of last summer. So even though I have a long list of books I want to read, I can always use more, so what are your favorite books? I'm not too picky so recommend anything!

What else, its been kinda chilly at home, like I have to wear a sweater. Not acceptable, right!? But that's mostly because its so windy here! And I need to cut my bangs. And, surprise! I'm going to Disneyland this weekend! I had no idea until a few days ago, and I am so excited! So I'll tell you about that when we get back :)

Now, here's a picture (or two or more) from the last time i was at Disneyland...

SNUGGIE!!!

ODE TO MY SNUGGIE

Oh, my snuggie.
You are my buddy,
Given to me by D-wood,
I just wish you had a hood.
You are a blanket with arms,
I am won over by your charms.
You keep me warm while reading.
New people that I am meeting,
Think I am awfully funny.
Don't worry snuggie,
You are my buddy.

Vindicated

I finally saw V for Vendetta!!! All of my friends have been pushing me to see it for so long, and i finally did. And i LOVED it. It really hit me at the end (this will not ruin anything i promise) when everyone has their masks on and they are united in revolution, but then they take their masks off one by one and you see the faces of the living and the dead. It gave me chills. It just shows how we are united in one cause, but individual in our additions to the cause and in our personalities. It was amazing, I have to see it again because it had so many connections to favorite books of mine- Count of Monte Cristo, Faust and countless Shakespeare plays. If you have not seen it, go see it today.

Also, today I had my interview to be an EFY counselor and i will know in 2-4 weeks if i make it! I was so nervous, but luckily a friend from my ward was in the interview with me, so having him there made me less nervous.

And! Remember that girl that chewed on her hymnbook in my class? Well, her slightly less awkward friend today decided that she needed to sing "You Can't Stop The Beat" super loud to the class before it started. And she didn't know all of the words so it went something like this -- Motion of the ocean and the sjlkdaf froma dn fjsadkl adfjsdkfsjk adfjlds sjlskjf-- and then she'd skip to the chorus which she knew most of. And then sometimes her chewy hymnbook friend would sing a long. It was awkward.

And. Lauren comes to visit me in about 2 weeks!

The End!

I wanna talk about me.
