Luckily, my life hasn't gotten much more interesting in the past few weeks, so you're not missing out on much.
I lied about the sunshine...partly. Yesterday I woke up to 2 feet of snow in my backyard and more coming down. Yes, snow!!! I was a little bitter about that. However, by that evening, most of it had melted down to a lot of water. Today has been sunnier and warmer :)
I finally saw Iron Man 2. It was fabulous!!! It inspired me to dye my hair red... So I did. I look pretty different, but I like it a lot. Some people have told me it looks really natural. Yeah, I think they're a little crazy too. However, it's been lightening up a little, so it does look more natural now. Anywho, it's fun for a month. I really like it. I'll be happy to be blonde again though :) Oh, I also saw Letters to Juliet with my dear friend Sarah. It was so funny and so cute! Definitely a good romantic comedy for chick flick night.
My big asian brother (from another mother), Alex Hironaka, got home from his mission in South Carolina a few weeks back. How fun to have him home! We almost have the whole group back together again now! We're just waiting on Zack, who's in Japan till October.
Tom (yes, my ex-boyfriend, dear-johned while gone, Tom) is now home from his mission. Apparently the day he got home, he drove himself to Provo to pick up his girlfriend so she could meet the family. She speaks very little English (she's Mexican), and he met her while teaching her family in California where he served. I guess she continued to write him, and now (less than one week later) they're an item! He did text me when he got home... He wanted to "thank me for everything I taught him." I can't imagine what he's referring to at this point. He also wanted me to know that "he's moved on and all we'll ever be is just friends." Thank you, Tom, for informing me of this information. I feel so much better about dating other people... There's been no contact since, but I hear his name a bit more often now due to the fact that his little sister is a good friend of mine and a potential roommate at Weber next year. He got right back into texting, gaming, and having his earphones around his neck 24/7. It's a little disappointing to see people come home and fall right back into the things that weren't so good for them before. I worry about those people sometimes. I dear-johned him mostly because I thought his priorities were messed up and I wanted him to focus more on his mission... It didn't work all that well I guess. However, good for him for finding a girl. My bet is, he'll be married before the year is up. He wanted that for himself in life anyways... Marriage, and a really big family. More power to him if things work out well with whoever-she-is.
It brings certain thoughts to mind though. What if, you have a falling-out of sorts with someone before they leave, and then when they return, you find that you can't trust them to not fall back into those same habits as before? Am I not putting enough faith in these people, or am I lacking experience and putting too much faith into them? Does everyone fall back into the same habits when they return? Or do they gain insight, maturity, and ability to be independent? Or is it somewhere in between...? What if, what if, what if... I'm beginning to hate those words. What if it's purely psychological on their part? What if it's pressure from family or peers? What if the problem lies entirely in myself? What if I don't ever take the chance? What if I get hurt again? I'm kind of going off on my own little train of thought now... Sorry. Though the big question, will I be asking the same what-if's when friend's 2 years are up? Some food for thought. As I said, those words, what if, are not my favorite right now. (Though if you've ever played the game "what if" it's a crack up!!! I love it!)
My dog has been throwing up the past few days. I'm really worried about her. Nothing else is out of whack though. She's still energetic and loving and happy, and she's not scratching at the inside of her ears anymore! Mom say's she's stressed. Though I wouldn't know why... She say's its probably because we've been leaving her alone for longer than usual, and she hates being alone. I'm gonna try to work on that, see if it doesn't help. She's so funny, I have a great story for you! I was laying on my parents bed, telling them how she was doing something, then came to the door and started howling. So I imitated her howling and whimpering, and she came running!!! She just jumped up on the bed and snuggled up next to me like "I'm here, don't be sad, you're not lonely!" It proved true again tonight when I was making whimpering noises like when she's lonely or something, and she came running again to come lick my face and she stayed by me. What a thoughtful, loving little dog I have :)
In other news, I finished "Wicked". It's a good book. The ending is a little weird, though I liked it, I think. If you've seen the musical, it is not in any way, shape, or form similar to it. (I like the story line of the musical better to be honest...) Haha so there we go! Good book, though a little risqué... There are some pages worth skipping, sadly. He's a very detailed author, and it was great, for the most part.
I doubt anyone wants to hear about my dentist appointments or my mundane work schedule so I'll spare you. Well, maybe not, cuz there's a really funky story about my wisdom teeth. My top ones aren't to worry about, I probably won't need them taken out. The bottom ones are a different story though... The bottom left is impacting (luckily, I have a permanent retainer on those teeth, so it can't do much damage) but the worst is my bottom right wisdom tooth. Not only is it impacting on my bottom teeth, the root is also on my mandibular nerve. (The nerve provides sensation to that half of my jaw, top and bottom teeth on that half, as well as skin surrounding [gums, lips, upper neck, etc]) Which means no oral surgeon is going to want to touch it! However, even if I keep the retainer my whole life, there's still a high risk for infection in the pockets of gum... So I guess we'll see what happens. He say's not to worry about it for a few more years anyways. Great, eh? (Just FYI, there is a possibility that the root is not on the nerve, but next to it, however, we can't tell cuz the picture is 2D).
Next movies on my list: Robin Hood (with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchet) and Prince of Persia (Jake Gyllenhall or something like that, and some other girl)
Farewell for now my bloggers. Whoever reads this... Hahaha, maybe it's just myself :P Much love.
