hey there again...

     so um yeah...sorry it's been so long since i've blogged.  oh well it happens right?? but anyways so i was all determined to blog today and all excited and sat down at my computer and cant really come up with anything...  I have a whole lists of posts that i've been meaning to blog about but apparently im just not feeling any of them at the moment.....um lets seeeee. ok i'll write about the creamery, which isnt on the list but whatevs... sorry for being so lamee.
     so anyways i am currently employed at the BYU Creamery on 9th East as a restaurant team member.  if you remember from last winter semester i was the grill closer/cleaning slave there working 6 hours a week, so you would think that this would be a step up right?? yes and no sadly.

Pros:
1. i actually talk to people and have friends at work which is pretty fun. as much as i like to be antisocial, it gets lonely sometimes and it's nice to have friends right?? hahaha oh and it's nice to actually meet new people i can add on facebook it boost my friend count, cuz thats all that really matters right?? =]
2. i now work 12 hours a week, instead of 6.  so yeah that pretty cool. more hours, more monies. thats always enjoyable.
3. i dont have to slave away cleaning the grill anymore. instead i get to cook on the grill and scoop ice cream, which is my favorite thing to do, which is kinda weird cuz you actually have to talk to the customers, i guess i'm slowly becoming less antisocial. hahah no but really it's just nice not to come home every night smelling like grease and killed animals and cleaning chemicals....
4. there are so many hotttaayyyys that come into the creamery for ice cream! and i'm not gonna lie there are a few cuties who work there too, so pretty much its just win win all around. haha =]
5. i got a 10 cent raise from last semester, i now make 7.35 an hour! i know super great right?? ha

Cons:
1. i only work 12 hours a week.  i know that's a bump up from the 6 hours last winter semester but, compared to the 50/60 hours a week i was working over the summer, it's just a little bit to get used to... dont get me wrong i love not working that much, it's just i loved the money i was getting more... haha
2. i still have to wear that nasty hat.  i have to wear like a baseball cap as part of my uniform, it's that or an old lunch lady hairnet.  last year it wasnt that bad i would just pull my hair up in a ponytail and go, but this year my hair is too short for that... so now pretty much i have to make sure i come to work with a thousand bobby pins so i can some how get my hair up in a semi decent looking updo... haha
3. instead of coming home smelling like grease, i come home covered in ice cream.  well at least on the days that i work ice cream, which i try to make that like every time. but yeah pretty much i always end up covered up to my elbows in ice cream, which isnt that big of a deal, but it's kinda sticky... hahaha
4. i have to walk to work. last semester i worked at 9, left at 8:59 and got there on time.  now i have to leave like a thousand hours early to get there five minutes early so i have time to put my hair up... seriously i have been walking everywhere this year, which is good right?? just exhausting....
5. i only got a 10 cent raise, which means i am only making 7.35 an hour, working 12 hours a week... you do the math... maybe for everyone else out here that's enough, with all their scholarships and richness, but seriously that sucks when it comes to me.  but hey at least i have a job right? could be worse.
6. oh and i might have gotten carpel tunnel from all the scooping of the ice cream, but no biggie...

     so yeah that's pretty much my job.  some parts of it suck, but honestly i kinda really like working there. it's a pretty fun job with lots of fun people.  ok well, i think thats enough blogging for today... hopefully i'll keep up with it this time.... peace and blessings, peace and blessings.

matthew lewis aka neville longbottom aka the now complete and total BABE

     neville longbottom. we all know who he is. we've all seen the movies and read the books (at least we all should have, harry potter is kinda an essential to a happy life, so i hope you all have at least seen the movies, i wouldnt want you going through life all sad and what not) neville is what you would call a lameo nerd who turns into a total BAMF. (dont ask me what that means, kinda supainaprop but thats really the only way to describe him) seriously his character's progression through out the books is sheer awesomeness. i can easily say he is one of my fave characters in the whole story. however, the only thing that could rival the character of neville longbottoms awe inspiring transformation from zero to hero would be the actor who plays him, and HIS transformation.
     have you seen matthew lewis lately?! if you haven't you are in for a real treat. and i mean it, just a real all out treat. i dont even really know how to put it into words, i think it's probably best to just show you. here we go. prepare to have your mind blown (in the best of ways of course):

neville longbottom in the first movie, when he was the epitome of nerdness and clumsyness:

 a little bit more grown up, but seriously, those teeth slay me, and lets add total awkwardness to that above list:

here's another one, better most deff better, but still just neville longbottom:




annnd then next thing you know BAM! and you're left thinking "kjwdifnrufnbrkiejnfjk! what the WHAT?!?!":
     i mean seriously. i will be the first one to stand up and say that i totally and completely did not see that one coming. i mean honestly who did?? even with the knowledge from the books that neville totally turns all BA...  i feel like this was pretty much everyone's reaction to him turning into a total hottayyy:




     but honestly, how could you not love that?! i mean look he's even got that nice scruffy scruff goin on, and you guys know how much i love the scruffy scruff, and just his hair in general i feel is to die for, and then that thing he does with his eyebrow. yeah, that get all da ladies swoonin. observe closer:




      yeah, you know you totes just swooned. hahaha swooned, what a funny word. anyways, i just wanted to make sure that you all knew of the awesomeness that is matt lewis and his successful journey through puberty. peace and blessings, peace and blessings =]

day 9

     i know that i have posted this before, but i feel as though if someone asked me why i miss byu so much all i would have to do is show them this video.  me and jessica actually walked by some of the filming for this, the part where the girl in the black robes is cursing people just randomly on campus.  it was pretty awkward to walk by, she was yelling crucio all over the place, but i do thoroughly love this video, and i love byu, so its the perfect combination. =]


called to serve...

     so i'm a little bit behind on this but better late than never right?  just to remind everybody, when one of my friends leave for their mission i have decided that i am going to blog about them here. =]  annnd the next lucky guy is Carter Johnson!



     elder johnson actually left for his mission a couple of weeks ago and he is serving in the Novosibirsk, Russia mission! he is going to spend 12 weeks at the MTC, missionary training center, preparing for his mission, but mostly learning to speak russian.  which is all super exciting!!
     i met carter that same first sunday as daniel when his and daniel's roommate brayden asked our apartment over to have dinner.  they made hamburger helper. haha it was fun/kinda awkward as you can probably imagine. haah but the very first thing that i can remember carter saying is that he was going to be on his mission when the 2nd part of the last harry potter movie came out. that broke my heart, and i knew right then and there we would be the best of buds.
     i was wrong. hahah for the most part of 1st semester carter didnt talk to anyone from our apartment at all, even though we talked to pretty much everybody else in his apartment all the time. we totally thought he was a jerk who thought he was too cool for us. hahah we dubbed his song as "cooler than me" you know that one song by that one guy. hahah but no then we all ended up getting to know him pretty well, and all became pretty good friends with him and came to love carter johnson, who it turned out is a pretty chill, funny, super good looking guy. hahaah (you know the aviator sunglasses? those are now officially carter shades, cuz no one looks as good in them as he does hahah)  i am so excited for him to be on his mission and i know that he is going to an awesome missionary! =]
