ok seriously, have you ever been on pinterest? no? what is pinterest you ask? basically it is heaven in website form for those people who like to pretend that they are crafty, and creative, and witty and home improvey and artsy, when really all they do is sit on pinterest all day pinning awesome things to their awesome boards. hahaaha annnnd seeing as how i actually AM all those things, its the perfect website for me. haahahah no but seriously i have been addicted to this website since over the summer. its basically a website where everybody has online bulletin boards that they can "pin" different things that they find over the internet that they like to, and share it with everybody else on the website. aka it is sheer awesomeness! here i'll give you a little preview so you can see for your self just how awesome it is and know that your life depends on you getting a pinterest. right now i have 12 boards.

so apparently, according to my human development teacher, 30 to 40% of the girls here at byu have an eating disorder, as in anorexia/bulimia... lets think about that for a second. almost half of the female population here are crazy psychopaths who starve themselves/shove crap down their throats to make themselves puke their guts out on a regular basis... no wonder being here makes me hate myself so much. hhahaa no but knowing this does kinda makes me feel slightly better about myself, ish... i mean i know that i could/should most def lose weight, but at least im not a crazy chick eating nothing but the occasional cube of cheese every couple of weeks. obviously it would be impossible to look like half of these girls walking around on campus because i seem to be unable to get rid of my love of food, no matter how hard i try... oh well, if anything, this has taught me that the goal should be to be healthy and not a super skinny stick figure.... oh! and this probably also has to do with the fact that every single person here in provo runs every second of the day, which honestly makes me exhausted just thinking about it... hahaha anyways, hope your life is going well and that you aren't surrounded by starving girls 24/7! =] peace and blessings, peace and blessings.
new school year means a new stache/beard count. and let me just say i have some good feelings about this year. i have a feeling that this will be the year of the beard card. hahaha anyways, apparently, there was/is this reenactment of Jesus's time going on or something like that so they needed volunteers for guys to grow beards to be jewish in it, aka the number of beards on campus, dramatically increased. annnnnd as of today the beards are winning! =D yayayay hahah the count stands at beards: 11 staches: 8. which is pretty crazy considering for most of last year the staches were in the lead. but just so the staches dont get down on their luck i've decided to through in a little stache humor to boost their spirits, because honestly when it comes to humor staches trump beards every time. hahah enjoy!
aka a boyfriend. i've been here for over a month and i think it's about time to have a boyfriend. i dont think thats too much to ask for, do you?? now i realize that some may be deterred by the name beefy cake huns, but what can i say i love it. hahaha jessica doesn't want to believe that i would actually call my boyfriend that, but however, it is true/totes gonna happen. kinda like how im gonna have my children call my mom and dad grandmamma and grandpapa. hahaha my mother sitll hasn't accepted that one, but she will when she sees how adorable it is hahah =]
but yeah currently accepting applications. so if you want to be my boyfriend just walk on up to me and be all like "hey lets be boyfriend and girlfriend" or "hey im the beefy cake huns you're lookin for". yeah if you want double the chance of being accepted somehow incorporate beefy cake huns into your delivery. you cant go wrong with that. hahaha
oh and you are all probably wondering where all this "beefy cake huns" came from. well, it came from my good friend olan rogers... now if you really want to be accepted just look/act like olan, or you know just be him for on the spot acceptance. hahah anyways yeah i was watching this video of his the other day and i just died and decided right then and there that i would forever call my boyfriend (whenever he shows up...) beefy cake huns hahahaha hope you enjoy it/make it through to the beefy cake huns part, seeing as he can be a little overwhelming... hahahah peace and blessing, peace and blessings. oh! and dont forget to turn in those applications! hahaaha
in case you didnt already know, I FINALLY GOT INTO POTTERMORE!! seriously. it only took like 5 billion years.oh and i got my welcome email on a sunday right be i had to leave for church, so i got my email and then had to wait 3 hours before i could get onto pottermore. it was horrible! hahaa but i finally made it on! The website it pretty awesome, but really the two main things that i've been waiting my whole life for is getting my wand and getting sorted into a house.
it took me like 5 seconds to get through pottermore to olivander's shop i was so excited to get my wand! Annnnnd here it is!! in all it's glory!!
hahaha sorry its such a crappy picture, but there it is! 10 3/4 in, unicorn core and yew wood! So basically a unicorn hair core means that the wand is very loyal to its original owner and its the hardest type of wand to turn to the dark side. oh and it's the core that ron's wand has! what what!! =] hahaha as for the wood, yew is pretty rare and super good at curses. they also tend to be the wands most drawn to the dark arts (basically, my wand is a juicy contradiction hahaha) oh and did i mention that voldemort's wand was made out of yew?? how BA is that??? hahaha needless to say i am pretty darn happy with my wand =]
so yeah i got my wand and was pretty happy about that and then promptly moved on to bigger and better things and before i knew it i was about to start the sorting ceremony... let me try to explain something... the first time i read harry potter i was 8 years old. i got a paperback of the sorcerer's stone as a gift for my baptism. i am almost 20 now. i have been waiting to be sorted into a house for 11, almost 12 years. that is more than half my life. i cannot explain to you how excited it was for this! but im not gonna lie i was also extremely nervous... what house was i gonna be in??? i knew which house i was hoping that i would be in, ravenclaw of course. now im not trying to be all like "of course i should be in ravenclaw! i'm soooooo smart!!" yeah it's not like that, ravenclaw was just the best fit. i also knew for sure which house i didnt want to be in, gryffindor. seriously, sitting there answering questions, being sorted, i couldn't repeat "not gryffindor" enough times in my head. why you ask?? why wouldn't i want to be in harry potter's house?? the answer is simple, because it's harry potter's house. idunno, i just felt like everyone wanted to be in gryffindor cuz it was the golden trio's house and blah blah blah blah. ughh. hhaha also it didn't really fit, i dont like to be the center of attention. i would've been fine being in hufflepuff or slytherin, i like those two, except hufflepuff is where all the losers go...(hahahah jk jk) but yeah pretty much i was a mess answering the questions that came straight from Jo herself. but in the end i got.....
seriously, i could not be more happy! i always knew i was a ravenclaw and finally it is official!! hahaah it's probably one of the greatest things ever! pretty much my life is complete =] pretty much me and loony luna are bff forever and ever hahaha but yeah no if you guys haven't checked out pottermore, it is most def worth it. you get to brew potions and duel people and earn house points, its just great. haah i think it opens up to the public late october, so seriously, go check it out as soon as you can =] and make sure you get voted into ravenclaw so you can hang out with me and luna! hahaah =]
HAPPY MONDAY!! how was your weekend?? good i hope? annnd i hope that your monday is going just as well. i have a few minutes before i have to leave for class so i thought that i'd squeeze in a movie monday real fast and show you guys some new vids that are recently my favorites. i know it feels like i just did a movie monday like 4ish posts ago, but that was like a thousand years ago and i really have some new good videos to share with you guys!! i hope you find them as good and uplifting and just plain funny as i do! =]
Moments that Matter Most- i have been obsessed with this video ever since my biology teacher showed it to us a few weeks ago as a spiritual thought before class. seriously i really love it a lot! annnd it goes perfectly with President Uchtdorf's talk this past saturday during the Relief Society General Conference!
Speak Like Kristen Stewart- madison showed me this next video, and let me tell you it is hilarious! and so true! that girl playing kristen stewart deserves an oscar! she is perfect! hahahaha Thanks K Stew!! =]
Pizza is Murder- this video features julian smith, who used to be the love of my life until he stopped making funny videos and started making lame ones, but thankfully this video wasn't made by him so it's funny! haha seriously i wish he would make his new videos as funny as his old ones again!
How Harry Potter Should Have Ended- i love these things! you should most def check out the site and have some good laughs!
Snape Realizes the Candles are Floating- another harry potter one, i've been a little obsessed lately which i guess is acceptable since i finally got my pottermore email yesterday (that blog post will be coming soon). but i have been obsessed with this video in particular forever. seriously ask jessica, i watch it a couple times a day. it's just so darn funny! hahaha
Love Sparks- this is a video done by probably my favorite youtube person/just person in general ever. Olan Rogers. seriously i love him. i know i say that a lot about guys on youtube, but my love for him surpasses all of them (including the love i had for julian smith, which is saying something). we may or may not have a small shine of pictures of him on out wall, jess and i love him so much... hahhaha anyways this is definitely not the first time one of his vids have been on here. go check out some of his other ones on youtube, his dare on dare videos are probably my favorite. but this one is different, not funny, but just awesome and i love it! haha
Night Vision Binoculars- out last video is actually a song. a song that has quickly become the theme song of mine and jessica's lives. we may or may not play it every single day despite the complete creepiness of it. and let me tell you, it is creepy. hahaha i heard it on pandora the other day and just had to show jessica and we both fell in love with it and now proudly own it. dont judge. haters gon hate.
so there's this new show on tv, or well i guess it's not on tv right now, it's in that weird mid season break thing, but anyways.... there's this new show called switched at birth and i am pretty much obsessed with it! pretty much its about these two girls who are switched as babies in the hospital and given to wrong families and grow up not knowing it but then everyone finds out when they are like 16. BUTTT the cool part of the show is the fact that one of the girls is deaf so there is like buttloads of sign language in the show! which is so totally awesome!! it's pretty much renewed my love for sign language!
i was going to take a sign language class with jessica this semester but it didn't fit into our schedules, but you can count on it happening winter semester! annnnd madison will hopefully take it with us too! so pretty much we're going to be able to talk to each other without anyone else knowing what we are saying, which will pretty much be the best thing that has ever happened to at least me and jessica! haha anyways but yeah you should totally check out Switched at Birth if you're into pointless drama and super cool sign language usage, it's pretty much the best thing ever! hahaha peace and blessings, peace and blessings. =]
