I got tagged. Twice. Drumroll...

8 things I'm passionate about:


1. I pride myself on knowing a lot of theme songs to old TV shows. IE: Every time I turn around--I see that girl that turns my world around--standing there...(anyone know what that's from? I bet you don't).

2. Planning trips that I probably won't take.

3. Planning trips that I actually will take.

5. Generic fruit snacks. IE: Shark Bites, Fruit Smiles.

6. Anything Humanities.

7. Coming up with nicknames for people.

8. Sleep.



8 words/phrases I use often:

1. Goonin the goofs

2. Doofin the doons

3. Loafin around

4. GET IT?!

5. Ya know?

6. JUDAS PRIEST.

7. NAILED IT!

8. SWAAAAAAAAG.


8 things I want to do before I die:

1. Ride through Kenecott Copper Mines on a glorious white stallion.

2. Go on a date with Brandon Walsh. We'd probably hold hands on the beach and then go to a party where we would get offered drugs. We wouldn't take the drugs though, because we're both really grounded. Brandon's sister Brenda would probably take the drugs and then blame it on Kelly. That is going to be such a MESS (duh...nuh nuh nuh nuh NUH nuh!-that's the 90210 theme)!

3. Plan a scheme with Zack Morris (hopefully some kind of prank on Mr. Belding).

4. Learn more about spaceships.

5. Learn more about zombies.

6. Learn more about robots and prevent their uprising.

7. Go to Russia, on Christmas, to watch a football game that my brother is playing in.

8. Buy a house, in Vermont, and make Applesauce. Then turn that into a small business called Country Baby.



8 things I've learned in the past:

1. Making cookies for an apartment full of the boys is just about the dumbest thing you could ever do with your time.

2. Fruit=good.

3. Cake=great.

4. Fruit cake=nasty crap.

5. Once I was watching a children's show from Canada that said the snow leopard was the "fastest animal in the world". I think they know something we don't.

6. Dump your drink out before you throw it away.

7. Eye primer=best invention ever.

8. Instead of "answers" on a math test, we should just have "impressions". And if you got the wrong "impression", so what? Can't we all be brothers?



8 things I currently want/need:

1. A Thousand Splendid Suns.

2. Passport.

8 people I tag:

1. I have no friends.

THEY'RE HERE.

Limited time only. Product may result in a dislike for any other apple fruit product and can lead to other fruit tasting like warm sand.

Friends That Say Funny Things:

Leia:

While talking about gas prices, Leia wondered aloud why the government can't just "train us to ride broomsticks". The government. Because they know how to ride broomsticks and are just waiting till the right moment to release this information to the public. I laughed for 10 million hrs.

My sister, Annie, and brother-in-law, Jason:

Annie told me that, in church, Jason brainstormed an idea that will revolutionize the whole high school scene. What if there was a high school created just for pregnant teens? It could be called Hoe High and their fight song could be "High-hoe, high-hoe, it's off to school we go..."

My boss:

Told me that, when he was ten, loved to sing and dance and found a way to create an audience for himself when he did this. He took a large aluminum can, painted people on the inside, put the can on his head, and then sang away. Keep in mind he was outside while doing this. Just sitting on the lawn, singing with a can on his head.

A friend who shall remain anonomys:

Recently acquired some Living Scriptures videos from a family close to her. The funny part about this is as follows: 1. She doesn't need/want the videos. 2. They are stolen from the aforementioned family. Not to worry, they will not be missed.

Here's what's on my mind as of late:

10. Orange County. I think it's stupid. I'm sorry.

09. Hungarian restaurants. Anyone know of one?

08. I think SeriouslysoBlessed is copying me. Ok, I know she isn't, but I'm so jealous of all her fame that I just have to keep telling myself that she is.

07. Cool Runnings. Feel de rhythm, feel de ride, clear de way, it's bobsled time. When was the last time you watched that movie? Too long ago.

06. Bimbimbop.

05. This post.

04. Bringing back trends from the early 1990's. I call it: Project Stephanie Tanner.

03. High fashion parties at the Tracy Aviary.

02. Ed Hardy is for dorks. Rich dorks.

01. Fall Air Smell. Can't wait to soak that mess up.

Leala Call is in the 21 Club!

Nina is 21-a-licious! Here are some highlights of Leandra, for those of you who don't know her:

She has some of the best/awkward dance moves you've ever seen. The hardest I've ever laughed in my life (seriously) is when The Nin was showing off those moves at Brady & Taryn's Black and White Party. She was all over the ground, a chair, and the other party-ers. I loved it.

The Nin not only gets the jokes but makes up a lot of them. Not a lot of people know, but the word "Girf" is a Leandra Original.

One time, while Leandra was getting her bridal pictures, the photographer told her to do some impromptu poses. So Leandra decided to do some hurkees (no idea how to spell that), which is basically a toe touch but with one leg bent. Keep in mind she was wearing a wedding dress while this was happening. It was glorious.

A favorite activity to do is a midnight sing-a-long to Rent, Dream Girls, Moulin Rouge, or High School Musical. I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, that I put down in wooooooooords how wonderful these musicals are, when you sing them late at niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...

When Leala was my roommate, sometimes I would accidentally scare the crap out of her. Afterward, she would tell me she was so scared because she "thought I was a vampire".

She doesn't know how to do handstands in a pool. There is a video somewhere of her attempt at this, but I don't know how to find it.

She knows the importance of Sonic drinks, Red Vines, bubble gum, Hint of Lime chips, Lost, America's Best Dance Crew and Potato Surprise (one time Leandra made a dinner that was basically whole potatoes, melted cheese, and 400 bags of peas-it was beautiful).

If you need to know more or want to ask for more delicious recipes like Potato Surprise, you can look/comment here or here. Happy Birthday, Lea-Laundry Nine! Tell your dad.

Bella Dies

As many of you are probably aware, the fourth book in the Twilight Series came out on Saturday. In light of this event, the most hilarious thing ever has happend:

My Sister-in-Law, Kari, was driving around in Salt Lake when something caught her eye: a large banner hanging above the freeway, with "BELLA DIES" written on it.

HA! I have never been so glad in my entire life. Glad and jealous that I didn't think of this first. This is the best possible prank that could be played on Utah. I would not be surprised it I saw this little number on the news. For those of you who are unfamilar with this series, Bella is the main character. Now, I have no idea if this spoiler is even true (I'm actually thinking it isn't-the author is such a sap, I don't think she could let the main character go) but I am now convinced it may or may not be my divine duty to put up the same sign in Utah County.

Stay tuned.

Leia is in the 23 Club Today

Ok, I realize this cake says "Happy 30th Birthday, Regina" on it, but the cake is so fitting (shopping bag + Leia's favorite colors) that I just needed to put it up. Anyway, today is Leia's Birthday! Leia is 23 and an official adult. Here are the reasons The Leggs and I are friends:

One time she said this: "I'm not worried about cancer. I'm worried about calories." HA! Don't act like that isn't the funniest thing ever.

She catches on quickly to slang like "girf/boyf", "tots", "mates", and other such Buckle jargon.

She knows that the answer to any problem you will ever face is a Diet Coke from Sonic.

We read the same retarded books and then have lengthy discussions on what we think will happen in the sequel to that retarded book.

She is as obsessed with ANTM as I am and will watch the occasional marathon with me.

We both thought "27 Dresses" was about the gayest thing ever, even when everyone else in the theater was in total awe of such an adorable (adorable=cliche) love story.

We understand how awesome Igrid and Meiko are and sometimes have emotional moments at their concert.

We have both decided to be rich and have lots of plastic surgery and maids and live next to each other when we are older. It's just easier that way you guys. Get over it.

Happy Birthday, Leggs! I can't believe you are leaving (Leia is leaving to go rock The Buckle in Valencia, CA)! I will miss you like craz-ay and can't wait to come visit you every day! So many Wicked and MEKs and Diet Coke and parties with the cast of Laguna Beach. PS if anyone wants to come to a certain "midnight celebration" with us to celebrate, you are invited. But I can't tell you what that celebration is, because it is too embarrassing.
