All the adolecent girls :)

Okay, I will admit my adolescence, because I must be a little, I dressed in my Twilight shirt to go to the movie tonight. There were a million, or almost a million, teenage girls there dressed in their shirts as well. I loved the movie and had such a wonderful time with my girl friends. Here are some pictures Shae took of me to document my "youth"- just in case I forget how silly I am :)

An article regarding Prop 8

I wish everyone I know who is Mormon would read this article. If your not Mormon it is still very intersting and understandable.

Of spiders and such

Are there more spiders around this year than normal? I feel like there are. Generally, I am not afraid of bugs, or spiders, but this year they are really starting to get to me. I don't usually scream when I see one but I am quick to kill it and get it away from myself as fast as I can. Don't spiders usually go into hibernation? Is that just bears? I guess I could Google all this stuff, and I guess you are wondering why the obsessing about spiders today. Well, let me tell you a story:
On our way out the door to church on Sunday I realized it was freezing outside and should therefore grab a coat. In our garage is an area to hang coats so I grabbed one I haven't worn for a while. I threw it on, jumped in the car and off we went. I pulled down the passenger mirror so I could apply my lip gloss when I saw in the mirror behind my head a HUGE spider crawling up the seat. I yelped!! (that is a somewhat subdued yell) and turned in my seat and proceeded to smash the guts out of the spider. The yelp caused Shae to worry as did my beating of the seat and crying out about spiders, so he pulled over and stopped the car. I jumped out and started to wipe myself down and shake out my coat. I had in this chaos figured that the spider had come from inside my jacket. While doing the shaking coat dance on the sidewalk, in the freezing cold air Shae mentioned and pointed to another spider by my foot, apparently the shaking had dislodged it from inside my coat as well. So the shaking coat dance stopped and the stomping to kill the spider on the sidewalk dance started. When I could finally hold still sort of (I still felt like there might be spiders crawling on me somewhere) I got back into the car without putting my coat back on. I know that the spiders where either all dead or gone from my jacket by I just didn't want to take that chance that I might be wrong. As we drove off, finally on our way to church Shae said "Well, that was an exciting way to start our day at church."
So now you know why I am a little obsessive about spiders. I swear I see them every where since Sunday. Yes, mostly the spiders are outside and not causing me or anyone any harm, so I leave them alone. Maybe I am just a little hyper sensitive after my spider coat drama. But really, are there more spiders around this year than normal?

to post or not to post, that was the question...well to post I guess

Original post date October 10, 2008
I would like to apologize to all my devoted followers, Mom and well the one other person that probably reads my blog, I have just not been able to make myself write. I generally enjoy and even love writing and living out parts of my life here in the blog world but now there is school. School has me doing writing that is not fun and by the time I get around to my blog I don't much feel like coming up with more stuff to write. There is also the problem of what to say that makes sense and doesn't offend my reader(s). You know there are just some days that I want to get on here and go what the bleepedy bleep? and why the bleep bleep and so on. I try so hard to be middle of the road and not cause any contreversy, of course I need more than my Mom reading to cause contreversy but sometimes I am sure I could offend even her if I try.
So now I am going to come out of the proverbial closet and unload what has been on my mind lately. I have been "shy" to share because I am certain that most people I am friends with out there don't agree with me and will even be upset that I am taking an actual stand, but hey it is what it is. Sometimes we just have to realize that everyone doesn't agree and see things the same way.
First, in regards to the voting indecision I had. I decided and I voted for Obama, yes, I said it. Something funny that happened when I voted was, I messed up on my voting card and had to get a new one. I had already voted for Obama on the first and then decided maybe since I had to start again if I voted for McCain it would all be even. I could say I actually voted for both. Oh well, I didn't. I still voted for Obama and I am proud I did. I believe that he will make a good president. There are many other reasons I like him and many reasons I liked McCain. I would have been happy with either as President.
Second, I would have voted No on prop 8 in California. I believe that people of all marriage leanings should marry whom they choose. I know there are tons and tons of you out there that disagree on this point. I do understand your reasoning why, I just disagree with it.
I guess that is it. I know that many reader(s) will think I have gone off the deep end and I assure you I have not. I am in full control of my mental faculties. I just look at things differently than most would expect me to, I guess.
I realize I should take more time to elaborate on my leanings in both president and marriage but that would require more writing and I don't feel like it. So if you want to know where I stand and why, call me or drop me an e-mail and I'll call you back. I really don't want to write anymore about it.
Maybe my next post will be about something really exciting in my life: putting new door knobs on all the doors in the bedrooms yipee
