Tagged!

Well, Julikins tagged me, so here we go.

A: The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B: Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C: At the end of the post, the player then tags 3 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

10 years ago: I was 11 years old, I was in 6th grade at Cope Middle School and was in the marching band playing my flute, my best friend was Alison Lenox, but I was also friends with Gabby, Elizabeth Houghton, and had made a new friend, Rave Nasser. Oh, and I was probably hating math and english because I had Mrs. Kovakavitch and she was the hardest teacher I had ever had up to date.

5 things on my to-do list today: 1) write a personal travel paper 2) clean the bathroom 3) do a couple of Organizational Behavior lessons 4) Find a world heritage site I want to do a presentation on 5) sleep in my brand new bed!

5 Snacks I enjoy: 1) chocolate chip cookies 2) jumbo red licorice 3) brownies 4) nachos 5) french fries (These are all unhealthy, but I took snacks to mean treats)

What I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire: My list is close to Julie's, I would pay off all the debt of both my families, I would take a few years to travel the world, I would set up a foundation in Africa to educate the people about AIDS and a foundation to help the people earn money and get food, I would buy a two story house with a wrap around porch and a big balcony, I would hire some company to make a cartoon movie and I would want to be one of the voices, and then I would put the rest in savings and investments

3 of my bad habits: 1) I sleep in 2) I peel/bite my nails 3) I just throw my clothes on the floor on my side of the bed

5 places I have lived: 1) Redlands, CA 2) Provo, UT 3) Long Beach, CA and thats about it

5 jobs that I have had: 1) Cleaning the Bishops' house 2) Jose's Mexican Food doing multiple things 3) TCBY 4) SAS custodial 5) Custodial at the MTC
5 Things people don't know about me: 1) I dance and sing while I do the dishes 2) I'm glad our touch lamp broke 3) broccoli is one of my favorite foods 4) I want to get my pilot's license 5) I watch movie and TV credits and look for cool names that I might want to give to my children

Alright, I tag Jen, Rick and Roxy

Thank heavens it was just a dream!

So I had a dream last night that was really bothersome to me. Well, a big group of us was at this crazy inside pyramid thing, and it was like a maze but you had to go up to the top of it. At the top, I dropped my glasses all the way down, and they went down a storm drain that was near the bottom of the pyramid. I was so sad, I guess I really loved those glasses. Julie and I reached in and tried to grab them, but instead we found a bunch of other odd glasses, like glasses that measure people's heights and rectangular sunglasses. Well, later that day we were in a doorway, I think waiting in line to go do something else, and Rick walks up to me and he gives me a new pair of glasses. I was so happy I kissed him, and lo and behold, that causes outrage amongst everyone else I'm with. Then, like in a movie, I see the background before this moment. It turns out Rick and I dated, but I had some doubts, so I just up and married someone else. It turns out that my marriage was miserable and horrible (by the way, I was married to Zack Ruben). I was so sad, because we had gotten married in the temple, so I knew I had ruined the rest of my life and eternity, because I would be stuck in this miserable marriage forever. Well, I guess for the past two years of our marriage I had been having an affair with Rick, which made me even more sad because he was so great and I knew I really loved him. But we could never be together because I knew that I could never get divorced. So, in kissing Rick, everyone found out about my affair and I was even more miserable.

So when I woke up this morning, I felt awful. I woke up with a feeling a dread because I had sabotaged my own future. Only after a shower did I remember I really was married to Rick. That made me so happy! So, I'm glad it was only a dream, because an eternity of misery was not really fun to look forward to.

Now I want to Travel with Charley

I just finished reading Travels with Charley in search of America by John Steinbeck and I'm itching to get out of here! How fun to drive on all the small side roads of America and meet the people and see the sights, to immerse yourself in it. If only there were time, and if Rick wanted to do it, which he says might be alright but doesn't really interest him. Provo seems so small now, I want to hit the open road. Maybe, when I finally get around to making one, this journey will be on my 100 things to do before I die list.

Well, a lot has gone on since my last post, so I'll just summarize. Finals were fine, I studied a lot and I did pretty well on all of them. I got two As, two A- and two B+. Not bad at all. Christmas break was a blast with Steve and Cindy. It was fun to just hang out and sleep in. And playing games was great because it is something that I like to do but don't get the chance to do much. Christmas day was nice, and I got a lot of great things from great people. We got back and school started all too soon. My classes for this semester will be pretty awesome though, and I get to read a lot of really good sounding books about things like American Cold War holidays and travels around Europe to where certain fairy tales take place. Plus I am taking a social dance class, and it has been awesome so far. Work is pretty much just the same. Well, I can't think of anything inspirational or witty, so I'll just sign off.
