call me crazy...

but i dont think i'm a real girl!

my cousin Cheryl was updating on her blog about her collection of wedding things..invitations..rings..dresses, etc. and i was thinking about what i wanted my wedding to be and i realized. I'VE NEVER FANTASIZED ABOUT MY WEDDING! i mean, of course, i want to get married. of course i want a wedding. but i dont think i have ever been the kinda girl thats like "i know i want this kind of wedding. with this kind of looking cake. and this is the perfect dress." i know i want a big sparkly ring though! but that's all.
also, i want to elope.

so this means i am a fake girl. sorry guys

UPDATE!

soo remember when i was all "i am going to be so happy until finals week!"?

and then remember how some jerk was like "i give it a week"?

well guess what? it's finals week, and i can HONESTLY say that i have had good days since i changed my attitude. i'm not going to lie and said every little moment was perfect, i did have bad moments. but i didnt let them affect my attitude or my day, and guess what? i made a friend!
not just one friend. BUT FOUR. and also, i have learned so much about myself. it's weird how much people change in such little time. its the end of my first semester in college -- can you believe that?! i still feel like a  child, i'm not going to lie. i dont feel like i belong here, but i am trying to make the best of it, and figure out what life is all about! but i am loving the adventure.

i have made a budget for myself, so that by the end of this semester i can come out on top and not in the hole. and it's going well! i just need to stop eating ;) haha just kidding.
but, my next goal is to schedule my time better. right now, i go to school and then i come home. and then i wait around (doing homework and such) and then i go to work. then i come home. then i go to bed. and that's all. i dont do JACK SQUAT i feel like. and there is so much i want to do!

so this is what i am going to do.
1. get a gym pass.
2. go to the gym EVERY DAY! yes i said every day. not sundays...but 5 days a week i'll be back at the gym! it's time to kick myself into gear again.
3. volunteer. there are amazing places down here in orem..and i really need to get involved! so after the gym...it's straight to service-doing for me!
4. i want to take an archery class. because it's cool :)

so here's my plan (i know you all dont really care, but i feel like if i tell you all then i'll actually do it!)

i am going to wake up. go to school. go to the gym. go volunteer. do homework. go to work. come home. do homework. go to bed. be happy.

i am so excited for this next semester! now that i am all settled in, i really feel like i can get my life into order!

also, i had NO idea christmas was next week. i am kinda freaking out here. maybe i need to pay attention to life more often..yes?

oh well, i am so excited. i love christmas. i love the music. and the jubilee, and the feeling! and plus, NO SNOW! :)

yes yes yes.

i have also found something i actually love about orem. THE WEATHER! it is so much warmer, and less stormy here--what a miracle!

okay, well that was a rant and a half. and i didnt say anything useful. so here is something that will entertain you and forget all the boring things i said.

"the promise"

okay, so here i was. laying in my bed thinking of all the miserable things that happen to me. all the things that i wish that i could change in my life. etc. but then i though HEY! i'm such a loser! i'm the one that is being stupid. i'm the one making myself feel like this every.single.day. then i had another epiphany. if i was doing this to myself, i could do the opposite and make myself feel happy! so guess what i did?

i made a promise.

here it is: i will not have a bad day until finals week (i gave myself until then because everyone knows you're allowed to eat as much as you want and be as cranky as you want during finals week) but here's one of the rules.  i am allowed to have a bad day on sunday because i ALWAYS am cranky on sunday. it doesnt matter where i'm at, who i'm with, or what i am doing. sundays just SUCK. no offense or anything. but they do. i dont know what it is but every sunday i want to go on a crazy rampage of killing. and punch everything in the world.

but i am done talking about that.
so that's that. there's my promise. and guess what? it's working! i went to work, and i was chipper. and my manager was like "why the heck are you smiling?! you never smile!" and then i said (with my head held high..and a smile on my face) "because i am having a GREAT day! :)" then my other manager turns around and she goes. "what the, why?" and i said "because i am always cranky and i am SICK of it!"

then they laughed awkwardly and walked away. but i was proud of myself. oh so proud.

and then guess what? i made TWO friends at work that day :) TWO!!!
i am already facebook friends with one of them. go me!

and also, now i ALWAYS have good days at work! always! because i sit by my friends and we laugh. we laugh so hard my brains fall out. and then i laugh some more. then someone calls and i am on the phone call, and i just start laughing for no good reason! i kinda get in trouble sometimes because i laugh so much, but i dont think anythings wrong with it. everyone could use more laughter in their life!

that is why i am going to show you THIS: www.hyperboleandahalf.com
okay, if you dont laugh out loud at least 5 times while you read this. then you dont have a soul. because i am 1. addicted and 2. in love with it because it makes me laugh so freaking hard.

anyways, i hope you all enjoy that gift i gave you.

also, mal's words of wisdom for the day:
dont procrastinate. the end.

p.s. the drawings in that blog are what kill me. their hands. oh.my.gosh. i just cant even handle how hilarious it is. i just want to laugh all the time. and so i do :)
