A Happy Memory

I make myself laugh out loud thinking of funny things people (or even I) have said (or in Brittany Anne's case, typed).

I keep laughing (out loud to myself) about this happy memory so I thought I'd jot it down.

Shwn went shopping at Nordstrom Orem (R.I.P) and spent over $200 in the BP section. She did not know this, but she happened to be shopping during a special promotion. For every $50 spent in the BP section, shoppers would receive a ticket to Twlight 2 at 9:30pm the night before it came out. This was a special promotion only happening in 4 Nordstroms/movie theaters across the country.
Being an anti-Twihard, Shwn's natural reaction was "What the hell am I supposed to do with these 4 premier movie tickets, 4 Edward chocolate bars, and 4 Twilight lanyards?"
Lucky for me and my friend Brittany Anne, Shwn thought of us (and some 2 other randoms). Well, to cut to the chase and not going on and on about what a divine night that was all around, I'll talk about the part of the night that still makes me laugh out loud.
So I have little brothers who play x-box games and therefore I am mildly aware of whats cool, new, and hip in the world of violent video games. So this commercial starts that looks like it's for some gorey movie but it also looks vaguely familiar to me somehow.
I say this, and I wish I could type my voice and intonation into my blog, but alas! earwax - limits.
"What is this? Assassins Creed?"
to which the commercial answered me "Assassins Creed 2"
Brittany Anne and I just burst out laughing. She asks "What even is Assassins Creed and how did you know that?" Honestly, I don't know how I knew it. Because I wouldn't have staked my life on my knowledge of such things, but my vague awareness must have been more keen than I realized to recognize the graphics of this stupid game.

So yea, sometimes I'm driving along, and say to myself "What is this? Assassins Creed?" and I laugh out loud.

The definition of lame?

Adjectives Can Be Nouns

Sometimes someone is just so plain ignorant that they are, in fact, simply an ignorant.

I know that this is grammatically incorrect. And for that I love it.

What adjective turned noun am I?
I'm a punctual.

I'm a painfully punctual even.
I love a good alliteration.
I joke about having a babies names list - but  I fear that I really cannot know what I would most love to name my future babies until I know what my married last name will be. I am going to name my children (at least a few of them) so they could be a character in Hairspray. (Link Larkin, Tracy Turnblat, Corny Collins, etc)

Addendum to I Want To Be A Rap Superstar

I've grown to love Addendums working in a law firm.

I want to know all the words to Rap Superstar by Cypress Hill. I mean come on, I titled the post using their quote and then forgot to include them on the list. I'm so sorry Cypress Hill. I was just feeling a little insane in the brain. 

A List of 17 DVDs

I recently started watching Doctor Who.
Up until last week my favorite episode was one where The Doctor and Rose were not the main characters, some chump named Elton was (Moaning Mrytle was in that one). Well my new favorite episode, and Carey Mulligan was the main character and The Doctor just came in at the end to solidify the story (just like in the Elton episode). Then a few episodes later was the Christmas special with the Titanic and I again have another new favorite.
But back to the Sally Sparrow (Carey Mulligan) episode. A list of 17 DVDs was made and Sally realized that it was all the DVDs that she owns. It made me wonder - how many DVDs do I own? Then last night while driving home and listening to Evita (Disc 2), which has been in my car for over 2 months, I realized I really wanted to watch Evita. How do I not own it? I need it. But here is the list of the Dubbed Video Dubbeds that I do own.

So I made a list:

26 movies - not bad

Here are some I'm gonna cop from my family when I move out: Chicago, Ever After, Napoleon Dynamite, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Walk The Line, The Young Victoria and You've Got Mail.

"She is Without"

I was quoting my first celebrity boyfriend there.
Heath Ledger in 10 Things I Hate About You.

But I don't mean it in the same way - because I'm saying lately my goal has been to be okay with going out in public without makeup. Not without whatever Heath was telling Kat that B didn't have.

I don't love Olivia Wilde but look how good she looks without make up.


So like Liv I'm gonna get to the point of being comfortable and feeling beautiful without.
Not that I wear that much anyways - I'd still just love a free and clear face.

R

One day I stopped watching rated-r movies.

In a moment of weakness I plan on watching these ones: Kickass, Sleepy Hollow (again), Shakespeare in Love, The Life Aquatic, Fargo, A Clockwork Orange, Pulp Fiction, and Lost in Translation.

25 Things

I found this list on a Notes on Facebook. Firstly, I'm not even sure what Notes on Facebook is. And secondovly, I don't even remember putting it together, but alas! earwax, it exists.

1. I still wish I had gotten that letter from Hogwarts. Everytime I blow out the candles I make that same wish.
I don't still wish that at birthday candles & 11:11s. I wish I had a boyfriend.
2. I have to put eye drops in every morning to survive.
Still True - Naphcon A
3. A boy made me cry in 7th grade science class because he made fun of my voice
His name was Steven Weizel or something like that.
4. My 8th grade science teacher told me my voice was so sexy i should do 900 numbers
His name was Mr. Veech or something like that.
5. I have eaten a June Bug just to "be in the cool group"
I was 14
6. I was class clown
I was 18
7. I'm head over heels for my two little brothers
Still half true - paaa just kidding. Still more true that anyone could believe possible.
8. It is completely impossible for me to grow my nails out
I proved this one wrong! For a while at least - they are mere stubs yet again.
9. I broke my leg in high school
I still have the boot I got instead of a cast. I hated it but it healed me.
10. There is a song called "Aubrey" by a group called Bread. And I know every word. Your dad probably has that CD.
I made myself laugh reading the way I wrote this "Your dad probably has that CD"
11. In the 3rd grade Christmas play my character's name was "The Father"
In 7th grade THeater Arts class play my character was the (male) Court Jester
Story of my life?
12. Orange is my favorite color.
Still True
13. I do know every word to the Phantom of the Opera and West Side Story
Still true, and the list now includes Evita, Fiddler on the Roof & Hairspray.
14. I just love SAABs. I don't know why.
indeed
15. I love State Capitol buildings
Still True
16. Dogs never like me. But I will own a Great Dane someday. His name will be Apollo.

17. I was in an Ad for the BYU newspaper every Tuesday and Thursday for 3 weeks. I am still so proud.
and my sister had it on her refrigerator
18. I get annoyed standing in lines
Still SO True
19. Power Pump was the best part about Gold's gym for a while, but than it got to crowded, and now the instructor girl is on bed rest

20. I love road trips and driving forever and ever
just not short distance driving
21. The NBA is the best thing ever
Kobe specifically 
22. In 7th grade I wanted to be number 7 on the volleyball team, but Kelly Loso got it and I still hate her for it. I was number 21 and I ended up liking that number alot. I was never it again though b/c I just suck at getting what I want. In high school i was 15 and it was a good number
Now I'm numberless.
23. I made Varsity my sophomore year. 
Obviously this will makes me proud.

My Mom, my sister, my nieces, Brittany Anne, Macy G, Shwn, Jenna & Sara Snow are the next best things.




25 New things:
1) Apples & Diet Coke are my greatest obsessions. And yogurt is my sweetest downfall (in any form, normal, frozen, Greek). I often accidently eat apple stickers.
"I wish apples grew on trees" -inside joke with myself


2) Nike is my favorite brand in existence. 
"Just do it"

4) I am not possessive of my music collection like most people my age are.


5) I want to marry Jew.


6) It's hard for me to watch TV that is not on Netflix. The Walking Dead is giving me ulcers.

20) I have no regard for spelling, capitalization, grammar or punctuation. 


21) I've always wanted to be Peter Pan for Halloween. But I always drop the ball.
