Doctor Who?

If I'm being completely honest with you, the truth is I don't typically enjoy science fiction-y, time travel, space and alien dominated entertainment. Even if there happens to be some very fantasic (and dare I say attractive) men involved. One day, feeling like I wanted to avoid studying, I turned on the first episode of Doctor Who just to see what it was like. And I figured after a couple minutes watching the first episode that I wouldn't make it very far. I mean, this show is REALLY weird, though it seems to get "less weird" the further in you get. As it turns out, this show tends to suck you in and won't release you. And that my friends is how I watched five seasons of Doctor Who (each episode is a full hour!) in less than three weeks. Don't worry -- I do homework, fill out applicaitons, and edit pictures at the same time. Go ahead and congratulate me. 

Any other Doctor Who fans out there? Let's be friends.  

UPDATE: I just finished season 6. And don't worry I actually just cried about it. Wow, I really must have a problem. But, to be totally honest this wasn't the first time...

 

A Proposal.

Let's go back in time, say, eleven months ago. I set up one of my BFF's, Rachel with my cousin Steven. Fast forward to New Year's Eve and they're getting married! I insisted that Steven let me be a part of the proposal...I wouldn't accept no as an answer. :) I can't tell you how excited I am for Rachel to officially be a part of the family. And let's be honest, I'm going to continue taking credit for this match until the day I die. :) Congratulations Rachel and Steven!

Too tight?

Please forgive me if i hold on to you just a little too tight  - it's my fear of losing you that keeps me pulling you back. I don't want to lose you.

Happy.

There are times when I really can't explain why I'm happy. Except that it's everything that makes me happy. The little things that add up to be something extraordinary and the realization that no matter what satan throws at me to distract from the beauty...he can't win, because I have a Heavenly Father and Savior that love me more than satan can destroy. All the doubt and pain I feel doesn't come from God because he wants me to be happy. Satan doesn't want that. When I trust that my Father knows ME everything is so much sweeter and I feel peace. Nothing can take that away.

positive thoughts + preperation = positive outcomes.

i have a math test today. it's a re-take actually of a test i took last week which i didn't do so hot on. i may or may not have had a major breakdown last night which resulted in a massive migraine this morning. not good. but, after a whole lot of studying (which included A LOT of help from my mom) and whole lotta prayers i am feeling somewhat completely prepared. now i've just got to believe i can actually get through the test with a decent grade so i can pass this awful AWESOME math class for once and for all (i've taken 1010 not once, but three times...judge me if you will). failure is NOT an option.

mindless rants.

i've never been a huge fan of listening to the radio. it seems like they play commercials and endless rants about this and that celebrity more than they actually play music. when they do actually play music - more and more often it's blatantly inappropriate or the same song they have played over-and-over-again. lately i have found myself irritated by the morning shows on the mainstream stations as i have spent a lot of time on the road commuting. it seems rather mindless to me to say the least. so, instead i have been listening to the blaze. i know, i know, there's many people who don't share the same political views as me, and that's okay. still, i have really enjoyed listening to the stories they share on the station because it actually gets me to consciously think about the world we live in, especially in regards to the united states of america. rather than mindless rants about lindsay lohan and the likes it forces me to think, to push myself to form my own opinions and take a stand. still, there are a few songs that when they come on the radio i won't turn down. here's a few of my current new music finds. i hope you enjoy!

Imma rebel.

I'm a fake rebel.

Sometimes I drink Coke/Pepsi. Sometimes I sleep in late on accident and show up late to class. Sometimes I go faster than the speed limit. Sometimes I sneak a spoonful of ice cream even though I'm allergic to milk. Sometimes I dye a strip of my hair PURPLE.

Sometimes I pretend I'm a rebel. But, I'm not.

missing you.

"you may not have my eyes or smile but from that very first moment you held my heart."

roommate Christmas.

on friday night me and my roommates had roommate Christmas. we made an over-abundance of crepes with delicious fruit & toppings, exchanged gifts under the glow of the Christmas tree, sung joyful Christmas songs, and watched the grinch while sleeping on our mattresses in the living room.
