    Intervention?



    intervention-1

    Soon I am going to need an intervention because of my most recent obsessions: 

    tweet-display

    Twitter, thanks to Erik Hart.  I am even following Taylor Swift & Ellen.

    Thanks to Stephanie Fleenor.  Erik and Stephanie made a deal that they would do Twitter if the other did Mouse Hunt, and I did both, and got addicted.  It's way more fun than it sounds.

    This one has been since Christmas Break, but it still doesn't fail, it is amazing. 

    Here's something I don't need an intervention for;

    Watchmen

    This was the worst movie I have ever seen in my life.  And you see just a LOT too much of that blue man.  I wanted to die at hour 1, but I still had 2 more to go.

    Arizona...

    Since I moved to Arizona (or planned on it), I have been on more adventures than the 22 years before I lived in AZ put together!

    My adventures have included:

    1. Salt Lake City & Yellowstone National Park
    The intern trek brought me to several states I had never been to.

    That's my friend Caleb and I on the trek.

    2. North Carolina & Washington D.C.
    I went to visit my best friends who moved to the East Coast.

    My first trip to the big state, and Disneyland!

    I felt so Marissa Cooper.

    Who knew I would have so many great opportunities...

    And coming up next... My first trip to VEGAS!

    Billie Holiday's Greatest Hits (Decca)

    So I have been putting this blog off because it's kind of hard.  Things I like, but people don't know how much I like them.  
    I have two things.

    1.  Camping
    I love camping.  I grew up fishing, canoeing,  camping and family trips to the great outdoors.  I spent weeks in the Boundary Waters.  A huge national park where you aren't allowed to bring anything motorized, and it's just you and nature.  It's beautiful.  It (nature) is one of the top three ways how I love God.  For some reason, when I mention camping or something outdoorsy, some guy skulks at me or acts really surprised.  Girls can be versatile you know.  I can wear mascara and own a blow dryer as well as like camping.

    2.  Music
    Most everyone likes music somewhat.  But I love music. Sometimes when I'm really stressed out or burned out, I will turn on an appropriate album and lay on the floor and listen the whole way through. I always wanted those huge headphones to just tune out the world and listen to the sound.

    I have always been surrounded by such immensely talented musicians, that I had to hide my music obsession because I would never measure up to their caliber.  And when I tried to give some criticism at camp one year, I was told I know nothing about music, so I should just shut up.  Well I am finally out of the music closet, saying, I do know something about music.  I may not be able to write compositions, but I love it anyway.  I love singing, I love listening, I love harmonies and God.  

    Another Note...
    Now this is something that may or may not go with this blog, but I wanted to talk about it anyway.

    I am a blanket snob.  I hate blankets that are: too short, too light, scratchy, not warm, weird material or with holes in it (knitted/crocheted). 
    blanket
    (Too short is especially horrible)

    I grew up making quilts with my grandma, and always had huge, warm and soft blankets at our house.  It wasn't until I started watching movies at my friend's cold houses in high school that I realized everyone didn't have huge blankets they made with their grandmas. 

    I am fortunate to know a good blanket, but am at a disadvantage as well.

    Not Coming Clean Yet.


    I wanted to write a "Coming Clean" (Things I pretned to hate but really love or the other way around) blog like my fellow furry friends, but I'm not ready.
    Instead I want to write about things that I hate, which a lot of people already know about.

    Birth Scenes in Movies.
    They're disturbing, gross and horrendous for the eyes and the ears.  The thing that really makes me annoyed is that they just pop up. All of a sudden in a movie where you never expected it, there's a birth scene.  I don't find birthing "beautiful" or "miraculous".    I will not be including a photo for this, or I would be a horrible hypocrite.


    People who don't actually act, but are "actors".
    They continually just play themselves. They're not really acting.
    You might like them, because you like who they are, but let's stop pretending that they're acting.

    Jack Black, Adam Sandler, and I'm sorry to say it but Adam Brody is continually Seth Cohen.


    Common condiments/spices:
    Mayo, Ketchup, Mustard, Maple Syrup, Cinnamon & Pepper



    This seemingly "normal" condominents or spices are nasty.  I once worked at a place similar to Coco's, called Perknis, and the dish room always smelled like ketchup or syrup.  Dirty dishes and wet ketchup do not smell good.

     I hate those smells.  Also, when I was little my dad made me eat potato salad when I told him I  was sick so I threw up and it ruined both mustard and mayonaise for me forever. 

    Ugly TV Shows.
    I know it's superficial, and sometimes it's worth it.  But I just can't watch shows that are really ugly.  My TV definition of ugly: Gross hair, clothes, surroundings, and especially the overall color of the show.

    Examples: Roseanne and Seinfeld.  I really wish I could like Seinfeld, because I know it's actually pretty funny, but it's too orange, and I can only watch it for about 5 mintues before I stop paying attention.

     Zombie, Pirate or Ninja Jokes/References.


    It may have been funny once upon a time, but it's over.  I'm sorry, but it's been overdone as much as Napoleon Dynamite impressions. Just let it go. 

    It felt good to let that all out. Now I just have to come clean...
