Questions, Questions, Questions

So, this is me putting off my homework/studying for finals.  I just don't want to do anything today ok?  I mean I will...eventually, but for now, Im not. Don't judge me.

So a friend of mine sent me this questionnaire/survey thing in an email and I was like, oh, I should put this on my blog.  However, that thing was 60 questions long...um no, I'm not filling out that whole thing unless I'm getting a grade for it.  So I cut out the ones I didn't like/were stupid and I just filled out the ones I wanted to, so here you go.  Some information about myself. You should be excited.  Sorry for the lack of order in the questions though.

1. What time is it? 

It’s 5:15 P.M. I just got up from a nap about an hour ago and I want to go back to sleep.  My body is not functioning today. I did go to class today though.

This is how I feel.

3. What type was your first car? 

Well, the first car I used was my parents red Honda CR-V, that car was sa-weet!

5. If you could have any job, what would it be? 

Well…my dream has always been to be a famous singer…but since the likelihood of that is very slim, I’m going to go with music teacher. Music is the best thing in the world and I would get to teach it to kids and instill in them a love of music too…how awesome is that?

6. What are you most afraid of?

SHARKS…oh.my.gosh.  I hate them so much.  They give me the chills just thinking about them.  However, I have seen almost every shark movie out there because even though I hate them, I am fascinated by them and I think I just love to be scared by them.  My dad always says, I’ll give you $1000 bucks if you go down in a shark cage.  And every time I say, Dad, haven’t you seen that one JAWS where the shark cage breaks off and the dude has to swim out to get back to the boat? Seriously? No. Not happening. EVER.

Apparently this really happened.
And, a few days ago, it happened in Florida.
Um, I would be peeing my pants

8. What are four movies you would watch over and over?

11.   10 Things I Hate About You- You cant go wrong with Heath Ledger…may he rest in peace…plus this movie is hilarious

Gorgeous.

2.   She’s the Man- um, Amanda Bynes is brilliant…can anyone else play a guy the way she does? No.  That is one of THE most, if not THE most quotable/quoted movies ever.  My friends and I and random people quote that movie all the time.

3.   The Patriot/The Green Mile- I threw in the Patriot because it is awesome, but I didn’t want to name another Heath Ledger movie, but I love all of his movies but seeing as I cant put all of them…I put The Green Mile, if you haven’t seen this movie.  Go see it…like…now.  Classic.  Tom Hanks and that big black guy.  I sobbed, but it is Epic.

4.   Forrest Gump- I promise you, this movie will never get old.  I could watch this over and over again in one sitting and it wouldn’t old.  My family owns this movie, but we still watch it every time its on TV. That’s how great it is.

10. What are four places you have lived?

1.   Birmingham, Alabama…I just said that.

2.   Rexburg, Idaho- aka, the coldest place on earth.  Where I chose to come to school. Don’t ask.

3.   Provo, Utah- Another place I went to school

4.   Quito, Ecuador- best place on earth, next to my home.  And because all of my little babies are there, just waiting for my return.

12. What are four places you would rather be right now?

1.   At the beach…It snowed in Rexburg yesterday, it is still that cold

2.   Home. Period.

3.   Ecuador.  My second home. With my babies.

4.   Hmmm…maybe like on a cruise to the Bahamas or something.  Everyone just got back from Spring Break and we, up here in Idaho, don’t get a Spring Break…only because we get out of school extremely early…that’s right…eight more days baby! Woohoo!  I just have to make it through finals week first.

15. What are four of your favorite foods?

1.   Beef Tips and Rice

2.   Chocolate Chip Cookies

3.   Baked Potatoes

4.   Ice Cream

Jason's Deli baked potato, the biggest and best.

17. Which do you prefer, ketchup or mustard? 

Ketchup.  Mustard is nasty.

19. Do you eat the stems of broccoli?

Broccoli? Sick.  My least favorite food in the world would have to be broccoli.  EEEEEWWWWWWWWW.

20. Favorite Drink? 

Coca Cola. Nuff said.

21. Favorite ice cream?

Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Therapy, but when I can’t have that, Rocky Road…or just plain Chocolate.

22. What's your natural hair color?

Blonde.

26. Favorite day of the week?

Friday or Saturday…I mean I usually don’t have much to do on those days so they are the least stressful days…aka awesome!

27. Favorite Restaurant?

The Cheesecake Factory or Firebirds.  Both of which are delectable.

29. Favorite sport to watch?

Football. Roll Tide!

30. Disney or Warner Brothers?

Chick-fil-A. Always and forever.

34. What do you do most often when you are bored?

52. Future (or first) child's name?

Um, I like Tristan, and Scarlett…I guess it just depends though.

54. Do you like to drive fast?

Yes I do.

57. If you could meet one person dead or alive who would it be?

Patsy Cline.  That woman is a legend.  Her voice is stunning.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Miss Patsy Cline!

59. Storms: cool or scary? 

They are sa-weet! My dad and I used to sit out on the porch when a thunderstorm would come rolling through in the summer with a blanket and just watch the storm and remark on how cool the lightning was, or how loud the thunder was. Good times.

Well, thats all I got, hopefully, I'll write again soon...!

Have a wonderful week!

Dab.

                   Only my family will understand this title, sorry.  But I wanted to dedicate this blog post to my father.  His birthday was a few weeks ago on the ninth.  I was too caught up with getting back here, and getting back in school mode and unpacking and stuff to mention it.  I wont tell you how old he is because he wouldn't appreciate that, but my dad is amazing y'all.

                  Happy Birthday Dad!  My dad is always there for me and my family.  And he has taught me some valuable lessons in life that I will never forget and then there are some crazy times in my life with my dad that are making me laugh out loud right here, right now. Bahaha.

              Oh, but before I get into this, I would post a pic of my dad but neither he nor my mom like their pics taken, so I don't have any pictures of either of them.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

             So my dad is basically the coolest dad ever.  He has lived in and visited all kinds of places!  Here are just a few of them.

Pretty cool huh?  A lot of those were because he was in the air force.  But still thats cool too. 

Some other things about my dad are... 

1. My dad is really conservative when it comes to electricity.  He taught me and my siblings a valuable lesson to always turn off our lights when we leave our room.  If we left our light on he would make us pay a dollar for every light bulb that was left on.  While I hated it at the time, I NEVER leave lights on anymore.  
2. My Dad LOVES animals.  Since I have been alive, I don't remember a time when there weren't animals at my house.  We have had dogs, fish, chickens, guinea pigs, and ducks.  My dad loves them so much.  He also gardens like no other. He has the greenest thumb of anyone I know, then again I don't know that many people who are gardeners, but still.
3. My Dad doesn't like to go out because he would rather have my moms cooking, which I totally understand.  But he does like the fries from Five Guys, and anyone who has had their fries, would totally understand. 

Heaven on earth.

4. My dad is a money saver.  He cuts out coupons every Sunday from the newspaper, and I remember I loved helping him when I was little.  That is one of my favorite memories.

5.  My dad loves music.  He and my mom play a big part in the reason I love music so much.  When I was little, every Saturday when we cleaned the house, we listened to oldies and me and my sister would dance with my dad. We were so happy when dad would dance with us.

Some other memories of my dad are....

1. When I was about seven maybe, my dad told me and my sister that he was gonna make us fudge and we were so excited!  (We love anything sweet in my house)  So I don't exactly remember what happened, but it had something to do with cooking the fudge in the microwave...? And the fudge ended up really... hard. Instead of looking like this....

It looked like this....

Except not as shiny.  But hey, me and my sister still ate it, because even though it looked like pebbles, it tasted like hard fudge.  It was so funny, because my dad kept saying that it was almost finished and we were getting more and more excited and finally when it was "ready" he pulled it out of the microwave and it looked like pebbles...we definitely got a kick out of that.  Haha, it still makes me laugh.

2. Another memory is when we would be driving down the interstate and it was just my sister, my dad, and me.  Dad would turn on CHER's "Believe" and turn it up way loud and roll down the windows and we would sing it at the top of our lungs. ALL of us.  We loved it.

3. When my mom would go out of town, we always had these and every time I eat them from now on, I will always be reminded of my dad, who would let us get away with anything always made us do our chores when mom was out of town. 

4. In the mornings before school or church when we would have to be up early, Dad would come get us a little earlier and pick us up out of our beds and carry us to the couch so we could watch this show, which he already on the channel on, so that we could have time to "wake up".  How I miss those days.  My Dad was the best.

5.  My Dad always made us our work if we wanted money.  We always had to do some kind of chore, whether it be pulling weeds of filing his files or mowing the grass.  He also used money as an incentive if he lost something, like his credit card, he would offer money to the first person who found it. 

                  In our old house my dad had a Beautiful garden with a path that he named "the angel path" for me and my sister.  I miss that path.  Anyways, he had a beautiful little green tree that was being eaten up by little green worms that looked like this

So my dad told me and my sister, that for every worm we pulled off the tree he would pay us a nickel.  We were out there for hours and we made a good bit of money.  Good times.

                        Anyways, that is my dad.  My dad is the best, have I mentioned that?  He always helps me out if I need him.  Me and my dad are so alike too.  I have my dad's head and his hair and his mouth, and his toes.  Me and my dad even sleep in the same position.  He has always believed in me and I am clearly his favorite child...haha just kidding, but not really.  I was his first born so of course I'm his favorite.  When I was born he was there, but when my sis was born, he was eating Arby's, clearly I am more important...just kidding Lil.  My dad would do anything for us. 

                          I miss him and my mom, I haven't seen them since september and I wont see them until April! I have my dad's same weird sense of humor, but added with my mom's sarcasm.  Its a good combination, there's no denying that. No one can compare to him, but I hope one day I can find someone that will treat me and love me the way my dad does. I love you dad and Happy Late Birthday! 

In other news.....

My friends and I celebrated Heath last night (see my last post if you have no idea what I am talking about) and it was way fun.  We went out to eat and when we got back home we watched "10 Things I Hate About You" and ate a whole bunch of crap, literally.  Don't judge us.  Heath was a big part of our lives. So here are some pics.

Cailey and Stuart :-) Aren't they cute?

I like this one better than the other one, but they wouldn't
let me make that face, but whatevs Im putting
them both on here.

I know you wish you were there.  Oh and after we took this
we decided we wanted to watch "10 things" instead
but Im sure we will watch "A Knights Tale" soon. Don't fret.

I just figured we should document this seeing as it has
"Heath" in it.  Just sayin.

My wonderful friends Kakamoe and Kim! And yes her name
really is Kakamoe.

So my weekend has been awesome, I hope y'alls is just as fun.  See ya soon! Love ya!

How could I forget?!?!

You may be wondering what this title is all about, it is so very important, that I am amazed that I had forgotten it.  I am such a terrible person, I should have written about this a few days ago, but, I FORGOT. How? You might ask.  I don't know, I really don't because this is a matter that deeply saddens my heart.

                      On January 22, 2008, a legend died.  Heath Andrew Ledger.  This man could act.  This is one of those events where I remember exactly where I was when it happened.  It was my freshman year of college and I was in one of my classes with my BFF Beth.  Our teacher was up lecturing us and I was probably daydreaming about my crush at the time who was...well lets just call him Cranberry.
         Anyways, Beth receives a text message, and she gasps out loud.  I was like, "What the heck happened?!" She then told me that Heath Ledger had died, and I seriously thought she was joking, Beth likes to do that.  I should have known that she wouldn't joke about something as lovely as Heath Ledger.  So when I told her that I didnt believe her, she showed me a picture of the news article on her phone, and sure enough it said that Heath Ledger, age 28, had died in his home in New York.  I was crushed.  I definitely didnt listen to any more of the class after that.  I was almost tempted to walk out, for fear that I might burst into tears at any moment.  But, I held it together.  When class ended, Beth and I walked home in silence, contemplating the death of our Heath.  It was terrible.

                  When we got home, we discussed how we were gonna celebrate his life with our other friends.  We decided to watch his movies.  We popped in "10 Things I Hate About You" which just so happens to be one of our favorite movies anyway, and we passed around the chocolate chip cookie dough.  It was, therapeutic.

                 Who could forget Heath Ledger and his amazing acting?  I mean, the man was brilliant.  From "10 Things I Hate About You" to "The Patriot" to "A Knights Tale" and finally to "The Dark Knight" which some say is what caused his death.  Oh, Heath, we will never forget you and all those wonderful movies.  May you rest in peace.  I miss you.

                 This weekend, my friends and I, will be celebrating his life, with a collection of his movies, chocolate, coke, pizza, laughter, tears and memories.  It is gonna be awesome, I know Heath would appreciate it.

                 Remember when he sang this song?  My heart melts every time I hear it :-)

That smile, seriously, gets me every time.  Oh Heath, why did you have to leave us?  You really did make this world a better place.
UNFORGETTABLE. Once again, may you rest in peace, Heath.  We will be thinking of you this weekend.
