noticed:

I have the same amount of posts in this blog as I do in my other one. CRAZY! I've had this blog for about 2 years and the other one, only about 6 months.

Anyway, they've finally caught up with one another.

Momentous occasion.

Thanks Janeen!!

Dear Lindsey,

His name is Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
I agree.
Still have a crush on him.
And I really want to watch 500 Days of Summer now.

Tidbit

I find social awkwardness to be endearing.

love this picture

Photo cred: Deters family ♥

Not because it's of the boy I used to be head over heals for

But because it's such a great picture.

It depicts [almost] everything I want in a man.

[the plaid pants and too-long hair kind of lower the wanting factor just a bit...]

but it's still hot. 

3rd Rock from the Sun

Favorite. 90s show. Ever.

In the last 60 seconds...

I've craved taco salad, peach tea, string cheese, chili, nachos...that's all I can remember.

Just a funny story

Last night, I was hanging out with my new friend Kevin. I told him about my social experiment, you know, the one where I ask every red head I meet what their favorite color is.

I said "I'm convinced every red-head's favorite color is-" and at the same time, we both said "green"! Click!

This very well may be the start of a beautiful friendship.

My thoughts

There is no "what might have been"
There is only what was.
So learn to live with your mistakes.
Accept your flaws.
Work on becoming a better person.
Regret nothing.
Because tomorrow is another day
and it's one more chance to make the world a better place.

CDs I NEEEEED

Mayday Parade
Valencia
All Time Low
Hit The Lights

So far that's all.

Welp, that's it for now...

Right now I'm...

fishtail plaiting my hair before bed. I'm tired of the same old braid. (It turned out pretty good..wish you could see it.)
listening to a DubFx/Valencia mix station on Pandora. Be still my heart.
thinking of Beth. Also thinking when I get frustrated I should ask myself "What would Bethy do?" Such a classy lady.
missing Andrew.
not missing Zach. Progress.
trying to remember what I wanted to post earlier.

And who said I couldn't multi-task?!

You may reconizzzze

Read this article.
It's about one Brandi Hosman.
I met her when I lived in Boise.
She's hilarious!!
She's such an inspiration and a ray of sunshine.
Anyway, she was featured in the Times News a few weeks ago.
I was cleaning the house and found the newspaper.
Such a good article.
And a truly wonderful, amazing, awe-inspiring daughter of God.
She's incredible.

Today,

at this book store/coffee shop,

(Say 'hi' to Brad.)

Catie and I were getting cremosas (that's Italian for 'cream soda') Alice, the proprietor, had Mumford & Sons playing. I, being the one who HAS to know the artist of songs playing (mostly if they sound familiar, or if I like the song) said, "This is Mumford and Sons". Alice heard me and was a bit surprised. Turns out she really loves them and that whole genre. She loves finding new music that is not mainstream. (She's hipster like that). So, using my [limited] knowledge of that type of music, remembered that I had a lot of it just sitting on my external hard drive from Matta. 

So I told her I'd make her a list. 

I hope I have my hard drive here AND that I have a lot of what she's looking for.

That would be real cool.
