I'm Breaking Up With You!

Dear Jimmer,

I'm sorry to inform you that our relationship is over! I just can't take it anymore! I'm about to clean out Wal Mart of all their chocolate due to stress and my room mates don't want to be around me because I'm cranky. You don't even seem to notice me, I feel neglected. You haven't gotten a massage yet, I haven't gotten any free tickets to the games and yet I show my undying dedication by coming to every home game. Your performance in the last several games have been nothing to smile about, if anything vomit forms and comes up through my nose. Do you not know how to block? Do you not know how to shoot a 2 pointer instead of a 3 pointer when there is 3 seconds left ( the game wouldn't have gone into overtime!) Can you score more than 8 points a game (San Diego State?) I'm sick of giving but never getting a win back. Please don't try to win me back with roses and candies, they will do you no good. Good luck with your future. As for me my heart will hopefully mend in the upcoming years. I shall never forget the pain you have caused me.

Sincerely,

Bitter & Depressed

LOST is back!!!

LOST is back in full force, I am a happy person! LOST is so awesome, there are so many reasons why I love it, the most important reasons are right above this string of words :) ! I don't know why it is but I have such a weakness for dark skin, long hair, beards, tattoos and a guy with a gun :) ! Who can pass up these hotties???? If you think that you can, we can no longer be friends. Several other things that I like about LOST: how Sun has developed into a vengeful & cynical creature (I hope that she breaks out some Karate Kid moves.) They all have to go back! I think that everyone is more interesting on the island rather than off it. Is John Latham going to come back to life?? I love how Benjamin Lynos has somehow weaseled his way into every one's life again (clever guy!)

I rate the first episode a 9.5 out of 10. The only thing I hated about watching LOST is that I made the mistake of watching it at Jana & Ben's house. So I won't lie, I was completely engrossed in the show, the commercials started and then Ben stepped in from the computer room (quietly,) and then screamed out. I'm not going to say that I jumped 50 feet in the air because nobody will believe that but I will say that if everyone continues to scare me I am going to die at a very young age!!!

How Do You Stop A Nose From Bleeding

Don't worry, they aren't used. Bushy was so kind in helping me with this project. We thought it would be cool to set up a scene from She's The Man. I love Bush, who else would have enough guts to do this with me. Try to divert your attention away from the tampons and look at our new hair cuts & colors. Sasha, Shannon's cousin did our hair yesterday, she did a great job! The only problem I have with this pic is the fact that Shannon is so pretty, it makes me want to set a crocodile loose on her face :).

On Sunday we had Jana & Ben over for dinner. There is no picture of this event because I hate to memorex grown ups crying :)! After dinner we decided to play nertz (yes this happened by coercion on my part!). I did promise to not yell so I was hoping to get Ben as my partner (it seems like its a little harder to yell at him because he is fun to be around.) When I got LaNell I wasn't a bundle of fireworks excited to light up and entertain everyone. I want to make a public apology to you LaNell for not trusting in you. I'm not going to say that we beat them, we slaughtered, conquered and defeated them. The first game was 100 to 12. The second game was a little more evened up but we won by 40 some odd points. I was extremely happy!!!

The next pic is of LaNell and I at a basketball game. Its not just any basketball game, it is a high school basketball game. Lone Peak vs. Pleasant Grove. For those that don't know BYU is recruiting 2 players from Lone Peak High, Tyler Haws and Nate Austin. The game was incredibly fun and I enjoyed getting a sneak preview of what BYU is going to get. Tyler Haws is an incredible basketball player, he is the go to guy. Nate Austin is 6'11 and a great blocker but he needs to beef up and work on his shooting. LaNell and I had a couple of laughs, we forgot what it was like to be at a high school game. The game was really intense and Lone Peak ended up winning by 6 points.

Last story. LaNell will have to post a picture of her new television. Its a 32' Emerson, very nice. Here is the funny part. 32 inches is not small so you would think that I would notice it right away but I happen to be mentally retarded. I was watching the BYU basketball game on Saturday. BYU lost by 19 (yes count them up) points!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so mad that I left after the game to burn some steam off. I ran out of things to do so I ended up coming home. Dan & LaNell were waiting for my excited reaction but instead they got nothing less than a look that suggested (if you even talk to me, I will give you a verbal thrashing!) So I went into the kitchen and drowned my sorrows in my choice beverage. After about 20 minutes I walked back into the living room and realized that there was a new TV there. Good thing LaNell got a new TV because I wasn't seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I think LaNell was wondering when I was going to notice. I love the TV, its very nice but the great thing about it is that there is a remote that works (this is something important in a chubby girls life!)

Becky & I Are Twiners!

Its a good thing that Becky Hancock and I aren't incharge of any prison camps. The prisoners wouldn't last 10 minutes before they broke down, bursting into tears. Becky and I go way back starting off with her babysitting Shane and I. I believe she was unaware but Joe and Than used to lock Shane and I up in the bedrooms and told us we would get beaten up if we tried to leave. Unfortunately we were both rather naive and small. Joe & Than, I would pay money for you 2 to try that now :)!

Becky is awesome for the following reasons:

1. We are a lot alike so therefore who can dispute our transcendency.

2. Sarcasm is what we eat, drink, pee and breathe. (Aside from Dr.Pepper of course.)

3. You always know where you stand with her, there definitely isn't any beating around the bush!

4. She always complimented me on my rainbow shorts :) I wish I could still fit into those ahaha.

5. She would let me come over and hang out with her when I didn't want to go to school.

6. She would let Michelle Rotar and I jump into the slime infested pool in the middle of the fall.

7. She has never told me that I need to change even though I know there is a lot of room for improvement.

8. She loves animals.

9. She would look the other way when Michelle and I would raid the Little Debbie truck :).

Thanks for being awesome! You are the greatest!

Life in Janaville

Some people may not understand this picture so here is some background. Angelee posted some pictures during Christmas time and Erica couldn't help but to tell Angelee that they were "samers." Jana then proceded to write about a so called city that will be named Janaville.

First off - here is LaNell and I as "samers." I can handle nopers and yepers but samers .... what has this world come to? Jana I hope that you will forbid these kind of words should I chose to come live in your sarcastic kingdom:).

Life in Janaville - This is what I'm imagining

1. No one would go hungry or naked because we would have Joel ship food & clothing in from China.

2. There would be a 7v on every corner to accomodate the soda addicts (I'm not the only one!)

3. We would have a college team that would compete in the Mountain West Conference (this team could actually play defense!)

4. We have to have a Charlie's - maybe we could send Angelo to the back cooking area to steal the recipes.

5. I will run a day care program for all the little kiddies because I love kids!

6. The color pink would NOT be allowed, so sorry Pilar, you won't be able to live here.

7. To go along with the 7v on every corner there would need to be a gym on every corner or otherwise LaNell refuses to come along (she could also serve in the capacity of telling people if they are too chubby.)

8. We have to have a ghetto somewhere just so everyone doesn't feel like they are in the wrong place.

Oroville is great!

The Joys of Christmas

Of course I have a lot to write about when I go home for Christmas. Why do I enjoy Oroville so much?? It was an eventful trip as always so hopefully I can point out the highlights without to much frivolity.

Highlight #1 Going Home

If you ask LaNell if I'm a selfish person she will say yes. Apparently the midsize vehicle didn't have enough room to accommodate all of my toiletries, frilly pink bows and my father's meat pies (don't ask.) Because of my selfishness LaNell couldn't bring her exercising equipment which includes weights, the stretchy rubber bands, the ab roller, an olyptical and a medicine ball :). Sam Hancock was kind enough to let me put some of my stuff in his car. I wanted to make this comment because a lot of people don't think Sam is very nice but I'm here to say that he isn't a jerk, he just doesn't possess any tact :). After Dan & I sang a few Christmas carols we were told to shut up. I would like to say that the day went well but to my dismay BYU did not have an over achieving day!!!! SIDE NOTE: As you can see in the picture Dan is either really excited to go home or he just realized that the 2 glasses of prune juice he drank in the morning is going to exit before he gets home :).

Highlight #2 Rock Band

Master Brown and I decided to go to Angelee's one evening. My expectations of being entertained were exceeded. The Petersens got the Rock Band game. I taped 2 different recordings but unfortunately Angelee prohibited me posting the second. Needless to say Angelee has quit a knack for singing. Besides getting to hear her sing I also saw the reasons why no other mother will be able to buy their daughter pink & brown clothing , its because Angelee has purchased every article of clothing!

Highlight #3 I got Jewed

I just want to complain about not getting any mandarins or grapefruit. I'm not going to name any names but I will say that if I don't get a crate full of mandarins and grapefruit names will show up on my hate list for depriving a chubby girl of essential nourishment.

Final Highlight #4 The Video

So a little background for a moment. For Emily Taylor's 14th birthday there was a small sleepover party at the Taylor's house. The guests included Michelle, Jennie, Erica Pratt, Brittney, LaNell, Angelee and I. I don't know what it is about video cameras but when they come out people seem to do crazy things. Somehow we all decided to become pregnant and do a talk show about it. When Emily was home for Christmas I decided to go visit her and I requested that we watch the video. Needless to say I was enthralled completely. Erica was the interviewer and since I was banned from putting the video on the blog I thought I would do a little game instead.

This is the guessing game. I will put either a quote or action of someone at the party and you guess who spoke or acted.

"I was raped when I was 13 years old."

" I don't know who the father is (this was done in bursting sobs)!"

Someone was convulsing on the floor in the middle of child labor.

" I hope the stork brings me a baby girl." (Somebody needs to sit her down and talk!)

Someone punched there stomach in several times, I'm assuming they changed their mind about having a child.

Someone not only stuffed their stomach with a balloon but also their butt and chest.

Erica asked someone what they were going to name their child, the person responded with,"I"m going to name my child Pain."

All in all Christmas was fun. I almost didn't return to Utah because right as I was about to leave I was informed that "there is nothing special about Utah and why does everyone have to leave?"

Becky, I just want to hold your hand and tell you that everything is going to be alright :)!
