Happy Halloween

I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween. For once, I wasn't stuck giving out the candy, so I had a great Halloween (thanks guys)!



Eat your candy slowly!

Simple-Minded Aleesha

Sometimes I wish I wasn't so simple-minded. People around me think up of all these little details when all I'm concerned with is the general idea.

You see, I don't like to concern myself with little things. I think it's pointless. Sure, the little things have their place, and I appreciate them. However, when they don't matter, why bother? That's what I say, and yet most of the people around me see only the little things and miss the big picture.

The reason I bring this up is because yesterday, people pointed out a bunch of little things to me that I was apparently "missing". After giving it some thought, I was seeing the little things; but I saw them through the general idea. I make a mistake, and it's the end of the world; I say that I made a mistake in order to accomplish something else that became more important.

I realize this probably isn't making any sense. Sorry. I wanted to prove a point without giving any details. Maybe I can later. We'll see.

Zune?

Wow. It was a very busy week last week. Sorry, for not keeping you updated on everything. I would catch you up on what's been happening in my life, but to tell you the truth, it's boring. Busy and boring. Whoo-hoo.

Well, this is something that is some-what exciting - at least for me. I think I'm getting a Zune within the next couple of days. My poor iPod has had it, and I've had it with my iPod. Sad to say, the relationship didn't work out like I thought it would, but I'm hopeful about this next one. Plus, iTunes. Haha, you don't want to get me started on how much I hate iTunes.

See, look how pretty. My iPod was cute, but this is pretty. There's a BIG difference! (I don't really know what it is, but there is a difference.)

I don't know. I should really be saving my money, but what's wrong with a little indulgence every once in a while?

Any thoughts? Anyone?

Fall Break

Do you want to know how I've spent this entire fall break?

• Work


• Homework


• Sleep Catch-Up


• Exercise


• Scholarships


• College Applications

Am I boring or what? I've wanted to take this time and write something really profound. Yeah, no, not really; it didn't happen. What's worse is that I have a scary story contest and The Reflections contest I need to enter by the end of this week. Unless I get some kind of inspiration, these stories are going to suck.

Oh well, I can only do so much. I've really enjoyed this break though. It was nice not to worry about school these past few days.

I Did It Again (with no oops!)

I did it! I ran another 5k.

Sure, I'm REALLY slow. But who cares! This is more proof that I can run 3.2 miles without stopping. Next year, Mom wants me to run a 10k with her.

We'll see.

I must say, it does feel really good to accomplish something like this again. Go me!

Hey, for my reward, can I NOT go to work? Please?!?

Quirks

I've been putting this off, but it is inevitable. I was tagged by Suzie to share eight things about myself that are quirky. My first thought was that this shouldn't be too hard, since I consider myself to be a very quirky person. However, as I'm writing this, I keep coming up with embarrassing things instead of just quirky. Is there a difference? Oh, well, I'm just going to write eight things down quickly.

1. I'm a sucker for cheesy movies. I love 'em. But they can't be bad cheesy, because then the movie doesn't work. For example, I watched the movie Another Cinderella Story and thought it was good. It was cheesy in some parts, but it was a good cheesy.
2. I'm insanely jealous of people who get more than eight hours of sleep at night on a regular basis. Want to trade places for a couple of days?
3. Despite what many people think, I hate country music. I don't know why, but lots of people when they look at me think that I like country music. WRONG!!
4. Many times at night when I can't sleep, I write. Amazingly enough, there is usually something on my mind that I haven't really been thinking about during the day. I need to get it completely off my mind before I can rest peacefully.
5. When I'm coming home from work at night, I pick a couple of rocking songs on my iPod and yell the lyrics. So if you ever see my car on I-15 at 11:00 PM, and you peer in my window, you will probably see me behaving like an idiot.
6. I've always wanted to join chess club just to say I was on chess club.
7. I cry every time I grow out my hair and cut it short. Every time. I don't do it during the haircut, but I go home, style it, see myself differently and cry. Maybe I should stop cutting my hair short...
8. I love being ignorant. For example, I've always felt that I was meant to do great things, and I think one day I can make a difference. Yet, how many people say this but never accomplish it? Oh well.

Are You As Bored As We Were?

In the midst of our boredom, Gillian and I created an awesome quiz. You should check it out.

Let me stress that we were REALLY BORED.




This week is going to be awesome. I can feel it. Want to know how I know? I only have to work two days this week. Whoo-hoo!!!

Ladies' Night

Well, tonight should be fun. It's Ladies Night Out at Roberts (every Priesthood session it happens). Ugh. If it's anything like last time, I don't want to work AT ALL! I don't think it will be that bad though because the closing manager isn't Vanessa (an uptight woman!). Come if you can. If I see a familiar face tonight, I'm usually not as stressed out. But then again, it's going to be VERY busy, so you decide. Either way, I won't mind.


Oh, for those of you interested in writing and publishing stuff, check out this blog I found. It's got some good tips, and it gives you a good idea of what is going on in the publishing industry right now.


Well, I hope you all are enjoying conference. It's amazing so far. Wish me luck for tonight...

Thank You

Thanks for all those who participated in my little scholarship writing thing. (All two of you - I had to beg my creative writing teacher to give me her opinion since I still couldn't decide.) I have hopes about this one!
