only me...

So guess what i did last week? I STARTED A FIRE IN MY APARTMENT!  now before you call the fireman to come and keep me away from fire for the rest of my life and hide all matches from my possesion you MIGHT want to hear what happened.

My apartment segments up dinner duty each week.  I always cook dinner for all three of us on wednesday.  So there I was making spaghetti(but with chicken instead of beef) and my noodles were too long to fit in the pan!
so there i was snapping the noodles in half right by my stove (which is electric by the way. we are not allowed to have open flames in our apartment) and little peices kept flying everywhere!
well JUST MY LUCK apparently one of the noodles flew under the pot right by the already hot burner.  Within five minutes a flame started up UNDER MY PAN!
Which if you think about it, that is completely IRONIC that i had a unwanted flame underneath my pot on a stove!  So there I was worried what to do about a flame that was starting to slowly get larger and I was constantly flickering my eyes to our fire extinguisher when it extinguished on its OWN! TALK ABOUT TAKING AWAY THE EXCITEMENT IN MY LIFE!  So that is the story of how i started a fire in my apartment.  Aren't I oh so reckless?


random note: in my English class we always have a "news" portion before our teacher starts well..teaching.  I am always soooooo tempted to raise my hand ans shout " I'M ENGAGED!" then i would get a bunch of congratulations and then yell " PSYCH!" hahahahahahahahaha! so tempting.  but i am afraid my whole class would jump me...

 this is what i spend my weekends doing :D

BE JEALOUSSSS

personality strengths!

so we had to take a personality quiz for my leisure class and I felt like sharing my "top five strengths".  Mainly becuase I felt like posting a blog but had no idea what to write.  SO I AM SHARING THIS!  Because I am cool like that

1. Capacity to love and be loved
2.Humor and playfulness
3. Kindness and generosity
4. Spirituality and faith
5. Origionality and creativity


TAH DAH! it's kind of spot on.  My number 6 strength was zest.  Which is a large part of me too.  Another intersting thing I have learned from that class is that laughter is supposed to aid with your digestion.  I feel cheated.  Because I laugh a lot.  One other thing: on average children laugh 400 times a day and adults laugh 14 times a day.  LETS CHANGE THAT AND LAUGH FIFTEEN TIMES A DAY! hahahahahaha. just kidding. or am I?  This is also proof i read my homework assignments.  Just sayin.  Now I am going to go sunbathe on the grass outside my apt.  Seriously.
PEACE

POETRY!

So I was writing poems for my mom and my sister for mothers day and my sister's birthday when I felt like looking at a old peom for inspiration and such.  I forgot I wrote this and it made me giggle.  ENJOY :)

ODE TO ROXANNE THE TRASH CAN

Oh You little black cube

Oh you storage unit of nasty things.

You look so shiny but smell so foul.

You gladly accept my empty banana peals and used tissues.

My love,

My joy, 

MY TRASH CAN.

It stores what no one wants,

The keeper of the unseen.

While she sits under my desk

she waits for more gifts.

My Roxanne the Trash Can

eulogy

Kay so we are supposed to write eulogies for my english class and thought i would share.  KEEP IN MIND I DO NOT THINK THIS FOND OF MYSELF!  But it is supposed to be for a funeral and they always say how awesome people are.  Not to mention I hope to leave behind this kind of legacy.  ENJOY. ( i do not plan on doing half of these thing for real in my lifetime)




.Today we gather here today to mourn the death of one of the liveliest 75 year olds any of us knew.  However, I know Robyn wouldn’t have wanted us to mourn her death.  She was all about celebrating life and living it to the fullest.  She left this world having a party and she would want us to celebrate her life in a party like manner.  She was one of the quirkiest, craziest, most colorful people I know. 

            A few fun facts about Robyn: she was born in a car, broke both her legs at the age of two, loved to make people laugh, and was obsessed with the color pink.  On her 21^st birthday she had her brother take her two a bar where she then ordered a root beer! (She had been planning that since high school).  When she was 25 she back packed around Europe and went to all the museums she ever dreamt of.  When she was in England there was a guy who worked at their hotel who refused to admit they had made a reservation.  She could not stand that fact so she went up to that guy and demanded that he look at his records in the computer closer, but he still refused.  So she got her face real close to his and had a staring contest with him until he gave in!  When he looked closer in the computer, as she said it “the snotty Britt had to realize too much crumpets and tea had made him forget how to check things correctly because our name was RIGHT there!”.  As I have heard it she then yelled for hooray so loud that they heard her in china.

That was Robyn.  Over the past ten years she decided she was going to be a dare devil granny!  She said she wanted to be heard hollering in excitement as she whizzed past 20 year nothings (as she called them) on a zip line and have then look at her surprised when they saw a 65 year old lady in a hot pink jump suit in better shape then them!  She went on numerous zip lines, bungee jumping, and rock climbing and cave spelunking.  She lso went on a long trip in the Amazon with her lifelong friend Elizabeth bond where they drove off a cliff but had parachutes that saved their lives!  Some how they didn’t even end up in the intensive care unit of the hospital, just the basic care.  Her last dare devil achievement she wanted was to go sky diving.  She claimed that once that happened she would go join a knitting club and make crumbly cookies like the rest of the ladies her age!  Of course once she went sky diving along side with a buddy it was not enough and she had to be certified to do it by herself.  That was when she died.  Her last test she was so excited her heart gave out while she was flying through the air “like super man!” as she would have put it.

When you look at an over view of her life all you see is a woman who graduated from BYU Idaho with a bachelor’s degree in recreation management, served a mission at age 21 and got married.  She then became an activities planner at a senior citizen’s center and had three kids.  She retired at age 65 and became a volunteer for the pro life organization. She loved her mom who was her inspiration and always told people” you are my hero number three after Jesus and my mom”.  She loved all three of her siblings and dad as well.  She left behind a husband and three kids. She was more than that though.  Not only was she a loving mom who could make funny voices and we all thought should do stand up for years, she was a fantastic person who let the lord’s light shine through her. And now we will play the song she has requested to be played at her funeral since she was in high school. “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”\

Schoooool

back at the ole college. ooh baby. been here a week and i already have been asked to plan a function, am buried in homework and my textbooks are awol. OOH BABY JUST WHAT I WANTED.
it's not so bad though. my room mates are cool. although i kinda wonder how much they appreciate my love for pink. they have already realized i wear it A LOT. so yeah. thats school and me. I DID HAVE A WEEKEND OF SOLITUDE THOUGH. it was scary. i was ready to sleep with a knife in case some super creeper tried to break into my room at night. buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut i figured i would mostly likely harm myself instead of anyone else. so i did not attempt that. just went insane from the scilence.  ooooh baby

GOING BOLD (fontwise hahahaha)

just once:

• would people not make such a big deal of how often i wear pink?  there are goths ALL OVER the world who wear allllllllllllll black nevery day to make a "statement" how how depressed they are or how horrid the world is ect.  i love to be cheerful and i think pink displays it best. so i don't really see what the big deal is with me owning so much of it :) I <3 PINK

• would people please stop assuming all teen girls live revolve around romance.  mine doesnt.  
• would people not pity me after i announce that. lol
• stop being SO SERIOUS. life is fun and full of giggles. tee hee.

My co-worker wore pink sock in "honor" of me! (her words not mine) apparently she put them on with me in mind.  makes me laugh


Another one of my co workers was looking at me strangely for a while and when i asked her why her reply: I am looking for the pink! where's the pink? 
HAHAHAHA! i wan't wearing any pink clothing today to her great shock. lol

i keep forgetting how much i DETEST packing.  and then the semester ends(it doesent matter if i am attending that semester or not) and i need to pack up my things allllllllllll over again.  its SO hard to decide what to keep and what to leave(either at home or in storage) and i keep having this huge fear that i will forget something that i need! AUGH!  on the brightside i am forcing myself to bring WAY LESS clothes this semester.  lets just hope i wont regret only packing my lightweight sweaters instead of my suuuuuuper thick ones i only wore like three times in November and December.  but yes. i hate packing. its a good cleansing method of belongings though :) the one bonus. plus the fact that i get to go somewhere else once it is allllllllllllll done


fun fact: i have like a sock OBSESSION. i swear i just realized i own prolly 50-75 pairs of socks. insane.
