The Existential Blog of a Fairy Princess: Events In My Life

So... Here I sit again, at my computer, writing on a blog for no reason at all except to procrastinate my homework. The walls in my apartment are kind of thin... I can hear a lot of things... I'm not sure how I should feel about this fact. Well, that was random...

I did go see Alice in Wonderland! I saw it in 3D. I think it would've been just fine in 2D though. It is a Tim Burton movie, so just be wary of that as you go in to see it. I liked it a lot :) Others, may not. (Ha! I rhyme!)

I lifted weights for the first time in YEARS the other day. I did pretty good, if I do say so myself. However, today we played water polo and my arms were killing me... To my pleasant surprise, being in the water made them feel less sore as we played. My team won by like 3 or 4 points. It was great! I like water polo a lot (but not as much as I like broom hockey).

I'm currently reading "Wicked" the book. It is wonderful. The diction makes me laugh! Everything is described in a way that puts cartoons in my head rather than real-looking things. The green skin on Elphaba, the roads (even the yellow brick one), the faces, the clothing, etc. They are all described in such extravagant and original ways. If you want a good read, pick it up (though I'm only a few chapters in). Unlike "Dune" where it took me the first 150 pages to figure out who was who and what was going on. Though I will say I give "Dune" 4 1/2 to 5 stars. It was an amazing book and very thought provoking!

We are now preparing for a spring show in the Institute Choir. We just sang at a fireside in Provo that was broadcast by satellite to churches/stake centers all across North America! My best friend in Virginia called me that night in total shock... I guess she saw me quite a few times while we were singing! How cool is that?! I'm totally famous now...watch out Brett! ;) tehehe...

I was in Vegas just 4 days ago to see Matt's track meet. He did really well! To our enjoyment, he failed miserably at the hurdles :P However, he took 2nd in pole vault!!! Yay Matty! Brett was there too, it was so so so great! We went to the Hash-House a Go-Go for dinner... WOW! The food was unbelievable! The hamburgers were bigger than my head!!! Yummy!

Well, midterms are officially over now and I get to go home on Friday for a whole week!!! I'm gonna be working the whole time so I can pay the last months rent on my apartment, but that's okay cuz some of my best friends work at the Ice Cream shop with me! :) And I get to sleep with my cute little doggie every night too.

Here's a few more pics for you!

Danni has never actually done this, but mom took me to Del Taco once (same cups) and left me in the car with Danni, she did get curious about the straws...
