Well Hi! Thanks for stopping by the existential blog of a fairy princess (me... A.K.A. Tinkerbell, Tink, or Mary)
I had a pretty relaxed week, I must say. I saw Robin Hood for the second time (love it!!!) and I went hot tubbing with some friends down in Provo, reminiscing about the past. The rest of my time has been spent working. Though I got a lot of cleaning done today. My laundry is finally done (it's only been like 2 weeks since I last did it... I was running out of clothes!) haha. And all of my mom's windows are super clean!!!
I've been blowing all of my money on music lately. However, if your'e wondering, you should buy from Amazon.com and not Itunes. Amazon downloads straight your Itunes anyways, but it's cheaper and doesn't have all those nasty copyrights on them. The songs listed for $ .99 are just that much (no tax!!!) and it's very rare that I buy a song that costs $1.29 (again, no tax! Itunes will charge like $ .13 tax so it's like $1.42, yeah, rip-off!) So buy from Amazon!!! It's great! If you're buying text books though, I find ebay to be the best deal.
Good news about my wisdom teeth! The roots aren't formed, so if they get them out within the next 6 months, there is about a 2% chance of nerve damage, and the damage at worst-case scenario would be minimal (meaning a tingling in my lips for up to 6 weeks... no numbness or paralysis!) So we're happy about that. Though I'm not excited to get them out... I don't really wanna look like a chipmunk.
I officially broke up with Skyler (my latest fling...) but I guess I kinda did it at a bad time... He broke his knuckle (possible surgery for it), his best friend is having a hard time too, and then I break up with him... I don't think he's terribly happy. Now I feel bad. Kinda guilty.
Beth is finally home from Spain! Though she's moving to Provo here in about two weeks. It's good to have her home... We went cruising tonight, just like old times, listening to music, talking, and driving past some boys' houses. Hahahaha! Oh good times, good times :) It makes me think of how much has changed though. Two years ago I was graduating high school, not knowing real love or heartbreak, dog-less, my family on the brink of collapse, and no clue of what bigger things might lie ahead of me. Well, I'm still clueless about what's to come... I have a dog against all odds! I fell in love and had my heart broken, twice. I've broken hearts (granted one may have been before this two years that I'm going back). I realize that the only things I miss about High School are hanging out with all my girls all the time, Choir, AP Literature, and mostly, the football games! The sweet smell of dirty sweat, the crisp fall air, the cheering until my voice is gone, the friends who went with me, the painted face and ribboned hair, the list goes on and on.
Two years ago, I was sending out a missionary. That much hasn't changed, because here I sit two years later, ready to send out yet another missionary. I realize how lucky I am now. My family is all here to support me and love me. At my next graduation (which is hopefully soon, for my Associates Degree) things will go more smoothly, I'm sure. It's interesting to look back and remember packing my mom's suitcase for her as she moved out of our house. Then making a midnight call to the Bishop to let him know what was going on. Rachel had moved to her own place with Aaron (they were still newly-weds) and Matthew was in China on his mission. It was just me. By the end of that week I didn't even care if I had a graduation party or not (family tradition to throw a big dinner party for the grad), I just wanted to walk in my cap and gown and be done. Luckily, my family all decided they could get along for an evening and we did the party anyways. In my house. It was a little quiet, perhaps a little tense, but we were together and they tried to focus it on me. All my pictures look happy at least! No worries, things settled back down after that. I'm not sure if I had a hand in that or not... I like to think I did. What a nutty two weeks of my life that was! We did convince my mom to move back in but I guess we can all figure out the ending to this story seeing as how my family is still whole and happy. It just makes you think about life. Two years ago was a different time...
Today college is preparing my death (tehehe), I'm going into a field I never thought about until my senior year in high school, our family is no longer falling apart at the seams and is more than whole (my sister moved back in with a husband this time, and we adopted me a dog!), and here I sit, happy, content, I have a job and good friends and I still have my wisdom teeth.
Now we're preparing for another wedding! Not mine, not my brother's, but my nephew Chris! Ya know, the one two months older than me? Yeah, him! He's getting married in our backyard this Saturday. Here I thought the family feud's two years ago were nutty, this wedding is making this house a little crazy! It's quite insane! I love it... Hahahaha!!!!
Well, I guess we'll see what the next two years bring me. Hopefully acceptance to a nursing program, but I think I'll have about three years before that happens... In the meantime, I'll blog!
Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "Hey, is there room in your head for one more?"
Until our next party!
Mary
