soft whisperings from on high

As I was walking though the HFAC the other day I heard someone calling my name softly...oh so softly. I looked around and didn't see anyone, so I kept walking. Again, I hear my name echoing softly through the HFAC. I look up and there he is...Allan Ludwig whispering my name from the top floor. Sweetest hello I've ever received.

I graduate soon.
My grades are going to be crap.
I need a job.

BUH.

I reeeeeeallllyyy like my boyfriend.

sometimes we think we know ourselves

I really wanted to go see the opera 'Tales of Hoffman' at BYU. But I didn't tell anyone except myself.



Spem in Alium by Thomas Tallis...it was written for 8 choirs with 5 voices in each choir, that's a 40 part motet. You can imagine how messy that might sound if you don't know your part or don't sound blended. It's also a really long piece. But it's beautiful and angelic sounding.

I miss singing in choirs. I miss my dance lessons and voice lessons. I miss acting.

I'm not moving to Barbados anymore. My sister and her family moved back after a week due to many complications.

Hello winter 2010.

Bumming...so hard.

So I've been sick...

Forest and I were sitting around on Sunday, doing homework, chatting with my mom. She's always a little coughy...not sure why...she's probably a little sick too. Anyway. The point is, she was coughing a little here and there. But the thing about my mom's cough is that it is really hard on the ears. She somehow manages to get it to a frequency that really gets your eardrums ringing. Sometimes when she coughs my sister and I will look at each other and cringe (mostly as a joke). It's kind of a point of solidarity for the whole family. Sorry mom. :(

So! Forest and I were sitting on the couch and since I've been sick for the past week I let out a really intense cough. What does Forest say? "Your cough sounds like your mom's". That is probably one of the worst things he could say to me.

I don't think he realizes that by saying those ill fated words he is sealing my fate...that I am turning into my mother.

Star-crossed...that's what I am. Woe is me. Doomed from the beginning. My hamartia....oh what a world.

But I think we can all admit....we do look pretty cute together. (Love you mom!)

I had a dream last night that I ate deli meat. Of all the meats in this world my subconscious chose nasty, processed, deli meat.

Apparently I have poor taste.

Being a pescatarian...

....isn't that hard. BUT I have been craving some red meat real hard as of late. I blame it on the changing of seasons. One thing that really keeps me going and helps me overcome my deep deep desire to bite into a really yummy well done (ha) steak or pork loin is my moral conviction that eating meat is wrong. For me, I have about 4 reasons that I can go back to and help support my arguments for not eating meat if one reason falters or is proven void. I'm not going to tell you those exact reasons...but I'm just letting you know. If you REALLY want to know, you can ask...

yes, that is a booger coming out of alpha's nose!

Confession

Whenever I think of the possibility that I will some day get married- I feel awkward and weird. As if it's something unnatural for me to do. I don't like that I feel like that...because I do want to get married...eventually.

Police brutality? This is a video of my friend Chris being arrested at a G20 protest

My parent's dropped me off at school this morning. On our way there we helped not one but TWO people with car troubles. All at the same intersection. I felt like I was in the twilight zone.

In other news....

Amanda moves in TODAY! Callooh! Callay! (name that poem)

Mom,dad, me and amanda...all roomies. That means good food and a lot of other comfortable things. Such as towels---I was helping my mom put away linens last night and I was overwhelmed by all the towels in the closet. Luxury!

And then in about three weeks my sister and her kids are coming for two weeks before they go to Barbados. I'm so excited to have family here. Hopefully Manders doesn't mind....cause she's shakin up with me when they're here. By the way...my room is SO nice!

House warming party soon!

oh man

It's been so long.
