dude it's almost the end of the year!

     So it is December 29th and it makes me wonder where the HECK the year has gone!  It seems like just yesterday..okay maybe a month ago that it was January and I was participating in the theatre IV sleepover at my high school.  And now it's December!  Dear father time I do not appreciate you robbing me of time.  Except you really did not steal from me like those fantasy books I really enjoy where the hero or heroine wake up in a field and five years have gone by magically and they have to figure out what the HECK is up.  This is not that kind of occasion.  It just feels like I have been robbed.  I suddenly want to yell at the sources I can not see and scream "HEY WHERE DID THE TIME GO!?"  That is the way I have felt this past week.
       Well enough of the more serious thoughts rattling inside my (hopefully not) empty head but here are my thoughts of the past year.  And it seems I like to think in lists so here is Robyn's list for what has happened in 2010.  I just KNOW you are shaking with excitement to read it.  NOT.  I write these more just becuase I am too lazy to write in my journal and this is a way to write down my thoughts. 
                                                           2010 according to Robyn:

  • we made it to 2010 and the world DID NOT end! take that crazy people who think they can figure out when God plan's the second coming!
  • I had the oppurtunity to sleep in a theatre thats exciting let me tell you.  except it kind of was :)
  • SNOW IN THE VALLEY! quick lets all make a big deal like we have never seen snow before! wait that was already done enough for me by everyone else.  News flash people:most of it melted by noon
  • I had a lot of lasts at my high school that winter/spring which was rather sad.  I may not be all that fond of my hisgh school but i made good memories there thats for sure.
  • SENIOR BALL! newsflsh: don't listen to the cliche' movies and books that believe its the best night of your life.  It was fun but it is just a dance.  a fun dance i got to wear a shiny big dress to)which is always a plus in my book) but just a dance and all those cliche' movies want me to puke.  also the ones about high school and the way high school is in general.  its not that feral and my group of friends had no specific label THANK YOU
  • GRADUATION!  I did enjoy that, although from what i have heard of my friends at BYUI i wish they did not have such a strict dress code for under the grad gown.  I have a friend who wore a KILT and no shirt under his grad gown.  pretty LEGIT if you ask me.
  • I TURNED LEGAL! it was rather exciting and my friend jennifer kept trying to convince me to find a random stranger while we were in disney land and marry him just becuase I could.  that obviously did not happen :D
  • I GOT A JOB!  sadly not as exciting as one would think.  I filed papers in a cubicle in a hot office.  oh well
  • COLLEGE! PEACE OUT CALI HELLO MORMON LANDIA!
  • Robyn becomes unaware of the world and whats going on becuase she has no tv and is too lazy to goggle news.  WWIII could have been going on and I would have never known
  • I learned that walking to church in a skirt while it is 20 degrees outside is no fun and guys should watch out becuase I wanted to kick anyone who was wearing pants
  • HARRY POTTER MOVIE! i love harry potter.  and I do not just mean the book/movie series.  i love the harry CHARACTER!  bring that man to life and baptize and WHALA!  robyn's dream guy.  he can even pull off glasses! ITS A WIN! (and i do not mean daniel radcliff.  GROSS)
  • CHRISTMAS AT COLLEGE!  was a new experience.  I privately wanted to knick peoples christmas cds becuse i was sick of the three I owned.  but that is sadly not legal. DANG
  • zac efron broke up with v. hudgens.  YAY now i can creepily stare at posters of a SINGLE guy!  there's one of him on the ceiling right above my bed :) and yes i wrot e that to creep you out.  and yes it is true.
  • I stayed up a whole night and the next day i swear i was seeing things.  and forgot to unload the dishwasher before i left the apartment for:FOREVER.  sorry roomates hope the dishes are still clean when you come home in a week :)
  • I SEE MY BROTHER!  i finally have someone to crack weird jokes about ninja elaphants with! YAHOOOOOO!
  • and we are to now.  i know my year sounds UBER exciting.  aka its not.  but i felt like sharing ANYWAYS!
 So that is all for now peeps.  I don't really know what else to "rant" about.  if you have any requests(which would be rather creeper but why not?) feel free to make them! otherwise
PEACE OUT FRIENDSIES!

FINALSSSSS

it cracks me up how much finals can change people.  some people I know have gone a little craaaazy from them.  others take the stress quite well and just buckle down and get it DONE!  and then there is me.  I have to take breaks between studying otherwise my brain CAN NOT TAKE IT!  but that is just me...
these are my methods of what i like to call brain breaks:
dance around the apartment
have a glass of juice
 eat a snack
watch a movie
red a book.
REAL exciting i know! lol
BUT the bonus' to finals are:ONCE THEY ARE FINISHED I SEE MAH FAMILY!  I kind of wish i had some fake piercing to stick in my eyebrow so I could freak them out ;).  but not really.  that would be mean.
but once I get home (after christmas sadly) I HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE A TO DO LIST!
becuase I am that cool
1.lug all my stuff up to my room
2. take a nap on either the couch in the loft or the couch in the family room.  becuase i miss comfy couches.  the couch i am sitting on currently hurts your bootie
3. walk my dog
4. walk around the warmer calin in shorts and a tee.  just to see if my blood really has thickened
5.  take a nap on my BED
6. antagonize me friends.  becuase that is the cool thing to do. AKA randomly show up at thier houses and make weird faces at them
7. DRIVE A CAR!
8. go shopping because i can(but not buy anything)
9. eat a peice of fruit BESIDES an apple of a banana becuase thats only fruit i have had for a WHILE
10. enjoy cable tv
11. tbd  BUT YOU GET THE IDEA

and this is my random post while taking a break from my studies. BAYUM!
PEACE

THANKSGIVING!

So as we all know it was what I like to call thankful day on thursday.  so here are some things I have been thankful for the past week or so
1. NO SCHOOL FOR A WEEK!  who does not like time that they dont have to spend hunched over a desk with a cramp in your neck?  Becuase I certainly hve enjoyed it.

 2.I HAVE BEEN AT MY SISTER'S FOR A WEEK!  A break from my lovely cinderblock apartment that is so white it scars my eys? YIPEE!  not to mention family time is always nice

 3. NO BUNKBED FOR THE PAST WEEK! Call me crazy, but not having to climb a ladder to get into bed is a rare delicacy that has been awesome.  Not to mention i have not ended up panting every time i get into bed.  OH CRAP! that means I am out of ladder shape now.  NO BUENO

 4. FREQUENT VISITS TO WALL-MART!  Like you don't even know.  I have been FOUR TIMES in the last week!  i had only been twice in the past three months before i came here! THAT IS WHAT I CALL WALL-MART SPOILED!  But i like it that way :)

5. CAR RIDES! I rarely get to ride in a car anymore and I have ridden in one a bunch the past week! thats what I call a rest for my feeties!

6. HARRY POTTER! just harry potter in general.  the character (NOT the actor) is one beautiful man.  So I am just thankful for the books the movies and the fact I saw it in IMAX on monday! HE WAS GIANT!

7. CHILL TIME  I just enjoy the time to sit on my rump nd do nothing.  It kind of calms me down.  and thats what i have done allllllll week! especially on tuseday when I did not leave the apartment all day and just read and watched movie for 24 hours.  it was AWESOME!

8. ALONE TIME! every body is a closet loner. atleast I AM! i enjoyed time that i did not have to worry about other people but just got to be by myself like my loner self likes. BAM BET YOU WERE NOT EXPECTING THAT!

9.  MY FAMILY! I love my family. they rock and I do not know who I would be without them.  See I can be mushy too :)

10. UNEXPECTED VISITS TO FRIENDS! I saw calvin on friday. it was awesome as we creepily stood in the same place of a store for an hour and talked.  It would have been even better if we wore trench coats so we would look like creepers too ;) not really but it sounds fun

11. STORE VISITS! I hve been to more stores in the past week than i have been in months! it was awesome yet boring at the same time ;)

12 MY SISTER! I love all my siblings of course but i am thankful that my sister has willingly let me into her apartment for the past week. especially since her husdband seems to think i throw massive parties everytime they leave me alone.  except i know he's kidding! I think...

13MY CHURCH becuase i would not be ME without it.  prolly some weirdo party girl with a bunch of peircings.  which sounds really weird.

14 MY FRIENDS becuase without them I would have gone nutso the past few months especially my room mates.  and who wants crazy chicks wandering around BYUI?  not most people i hope...except maybe the really desperate dudes i suppose...

KAY THAT'S IT! for now :)
PEACE

You know you are a college student when...

So my room mates and I were watching videos of all the things we have done so far this semester and it makes me think of the "crazy" things that college kids do.  here are a few.

1. PLAY BASEBALL IN OUR LIVING ROOM!
It was about our third week here and it was a Saturday night.  well we were bored and the two fun girls of our apartment grabbed the back cracker yoga stick and started whacking a water bottle across the living room!  so if you ever want to entertain yourself..get two bored teen age girls, a yoga stick and a water bottle that soon get exchanged for a ball.  Because we were whacking it across the room..running in circles and cackling like witches! (okay the cackling was me)

 2.  FINGER PAINT!!!!!
 Okay that was tonight but still..FUN!  I mean come on who doesn't want to revisit their childhood with crayola paint and giant coloring book pages? Okay I didn't. I took pictures and shook my head at how crazy they are.  But hey who cares if we get paint all over ourselves, friends and table?  Apparently me because I was quite content eating my grilled cheese sandwich and taking pictures of them.

3. RANDOM DANCE PARTIES!
 Who doesn't love random dance parties? I mean besides the girls who live underneath us and probably hate our guts.  Especially since I jump down from my bed every morning because I am too dang lazy to climb down ;)  But besides those girls..who doesn't really?  We dance on chairs, in our living room, on top of our beds you name it.  That's because we are cool kids who like to randomly break out into dance.

4. JUMP OUT OF MOVING TRUCKS!
Okay that was not me.  That was a guy who I know that while we were all piled into the back of another dudes truck freezing our butts off, he wanted to know if he could keep up with the truck.  I guess the better title for this one is pile into the back of different dude's trucks so we don't have to walk.  But jumping out of moving trucks sound so much more...dare devilish? I don't really know.

 5. STARE OUT THE WINDOW AT OUR NEIGHBORS!
We mainly just did that at the beginning of the semester I SWEAR! Although I must admit you learn interesting things about people by doing that.  Plus since we don't have a T.V. it often times is our dinner entertainment to see what crazy things the socialites across the complex are doing.  Haha we are such weirdos. 

6. MAKE SWEETS LATE AT NIGHT!
 That actually happened only once.  We were hungry and they were waiting for a guy to text them back.  So we made brownies with chocolate chips and frosting.  oooooh man was that TASTY!  I LOVE BROWINES!  And now I am done using the caps lock button.

6. ASK RANDOM DUDE IN THE BOWLING ALLEY FOR THIER PHONE NUMBER!
 for the record I had no part in that.  At first.  My neighbors saw him at the bowling alley and decided he was "the man for me".  So I was sitting at home doing my math and minding my own not so happy business when they came BURSTING trough our door screaming my name going " WE FOUND YOU A MAN!" if you ask me, the way they screamed it, it sounded more like they found me a cute outfit than a PERSON! haha i didn't know people were things you could GET for a person.  apparently they are at BYU IDO.  Too bad it didn't work out with the dude.  Still a funny story in my rather biased opinion.


 Well that's all I can think of.  Sorry that my life has not been more eventful.
 PEACE

BAM I'M ONLINE!

So, I'm Robyn as most of you either
A:already knew                                                 or
 B:figured out becuase the title kind of speak for itself ;).
 To start off,  I really don't know what I am doing,  I just always think "I wonder what people would say if they knew this happened to me?"  So TAHDAH!  The title of the blog come from well...almost everyone I know at some point always goes "oh Robyn.."to my face becuase I said something funny? I guess so,  I don't try to be funny but I guess I tend to make people laugh from my unique observations/opinions and the fact I am rather blunt.  No promises though.
     I go to school at BYU Idaho, in the land of the good jolly mormons as I like to call it.  It's been a bit of an eye opener to how...interesting some people can be here.  Also how I always thought that yes I may be naive, but I figured that when I came here i would be just as naive as the rest.  Guess what folks? I WAS WRONG! Beep the red buzzer at me.  Welcome to the humilitation of my life, a mormon kid who is from CALIFORNIA that still is as sheltered as someone who has been living under a rock for the past 18 years.  Oh well i suppose.  I don't really know what else to say.  It's mormon landia over here with people being pressured to date, get married and pop out babies faster than you can say quidditch!  I swear walking home from math today I saw a chick walking a stroller who could BARELY pass for 20.  Welcome to BYU IDo I guess.  Haha...not.  Now that my late night ranting is done.  I believe this pretty much sums me up.  The mormon girl from California who is shocked at all the babies being popped out around here. wow..that makes me sound shallow.  Well now that I am done digging my self into an obvious hole,
PEACE
