whyyyyyyyyyyyy

i have given into the evil clutches of technology and gotten a cell phone.
i know, i know. i'm going against my nature and i have lost my identity.
*sigh*
but i was beginning to think it was a necessary evil.
here's what i got, one uh 'dem samsung katalysts: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=mobilephones&type=mobilephones&subtype=t_mobile&model_cd=SGH-T739TSATMB
so far i am pleased with my cellular phone choice.
anyway, i need to take an online final now.
toodle-oo

wave boards rock my body... no pun

my latest and greatest obsession are wave boards. also known as wave sticks, street surfers or rip sticks.
i command everyone to learn how, so they can come on rides with me.
it took me three days of practice to become good enough to go down streets easily, but i've seen other people who are naturals.
they are basically skateboards that swivel and have only two wheels.

another confession: i am also obsessed with this song i heard in travis' car. it's called "into the ocean" by blue october from their album foiled. i just bought it off of itunes and now i'm listening to it on repeat :)
one thing i don't understand, is that it's marked as "explicit." there are no swear words whatsoever, and i even looked up the words. there are no innuendos or hidden meanings or anything (but then again, i might just be naive. but i doubt it). i wonder if it's just because some of their other songs on the album are censor-worthy.

at any rate, i have a date with colin firth. that is, i'm going to watch the A & E pride and prejudice until i fall asleep.

i work at pudding on the rice

soooooooo
i work at pudding on the rice.
in fact, that's where i am right now.
allison--a cook at the store--showed me this blog about pudding and i thought it was quite entertaining.

http://www.utahgossip.com/archives/pudding-on-the-rice-utahs-frustrating-lack-of-originality#more-43

amy thaut, the girl who snaps back at this "a friend" character, is the wife of one of the owners. in fact, allison is her mom-in-law.
they're quite the cool family.
but i digress.

i can see where this "a friend" person is coming from, but i totally don't agree. it's true that i'm going to be biased because it is this illustrious establishment that pays for my jamba juices. still, i don't agree with him at all.
all the thauts wanted to do was share something cool with provo, and they just got scolded for it.
WHAT THE CRAP.
what's stupid, is that this "a friend" posted his comment like a year ago. if amy hadn't responded to him, none of this argument would have happened.
but i like a good fight and will probably say something on this utahgossip site just to keep the argument alive and entertaining.

now, since you are reading this, i'll put in my plug for pudding.

eat at pudding on the rice! it is the coolest, hippest place in provo. for as low as $1.99, you can treat yourself to a unique and incredibly delicious treat. i highly recomment the instant karmel flavor, or opiate of the masses.

calling all occupants of interplanetary craft

i am taking a test today that determines if i get into the communications program. AAAAAH!
i'm scared but i think i'll do pretty well. i just have to write some sort of news article after listening to a press conference.
travis woke me up this morning at 6:38. hate him. but not really, since it was the last time i'll see him since next wednesday. :(
on tuesday night me and carah downloaded the kid nation episodes for her to watch on her computer.
holy CRAP kid nation has changed my life. that reality show is the best thing to grace this planet since sliced bread. all the kids are so amazing... and since it's a reality show, it's so great to know they are actually real kids in this country!
my favorites are alex and laurel.
alex is a hilarious snaggle-toothed genius. oh my gosh just thinking about him makes me laugh.
laurel is a beautiful. she's an amazing leader. she can sing better than anyone in the world. plus, we both have purple headbands. thus, she also has excellent taste.

so, go watch kid nation before you die. and since i have all of season one, maybe you should just call me and i'll watch it with you. :)
well now i must go meet my quality friend blair for an interview. blech. i'm writing an article for my news writing class on non-LDS students at BYU. it should be interesting.
