my boyfriend is funny.

funny things that were said (mainly by jake) recently:

• "warped tour in idaho? what do they have there? mosh potato pits?"
• "winky!" (in reference to a one-eyed dog)
• "you know what i've always wanted to yell out in a crowded room? AMBER ALERT!!!"
• "all the turkey legs are gone?" "yeah, all two of them."
• "let's steal everything in this house. we don't know the people. we'll never see them again. we could steal the whole bathroom."
• "wow. these are ralph lauren glasses."
• "new MOON." (that was mine)
• "oh my asian. shut up." (to four people who were speaking, not whispering, in chinese throughout an entire movie)

tonight i saw...

A METEOR!!!!!!! a little after midnight i was in my kitchen (pouring a diet coke, if you can believe it) when i saw a very bright bluish white light, like those halogen (i think?) headlights that are blinding. but i live on the second floor and my apartment doesn't face the street! so i quickly looked over and the flash lasted another second or so, then it was gone. it was crazy! i was weirded out because i didn't know what it was but then i started seeing facebook statuses about it so i was pretty stoked that i saw it too. check out the videos on the ksl link if you get a chance.

catty whompus

i started my homework... really, i did. and i finished 13% of it. but then i wanted to go play in blog-land instead. so.. i did. and i don't care!

jake and i both gave talks today in sacrament meeting. cute, right? kind of weird to have a couple speak together in a singles ward though... luckily our adoring fans, jessy and kyle, came to support us and got this wonderful picture of us tootalllly not paying attention to anything once we were both done speaking. it's just how we are.. can't help it. as you can tell, we were very engaged in whatever we were talking about.

christmas is coming...!

and urban outfitters reminded me in my inbox. thanks, UO, for making me want everything that you have.

like these marbleized ornaments. so pretty. they're almost like easter eggs! but i'm getting ahead of myself.

also, this diet coke ornament is calling my name. loudly and repeatedly. jacqui o gave me one my senior year, and then regis, my fat (and rude) wiener dog, stepped on it and it broke. i actually cried. really.

this cardboard fireplace is so cute. i have the perfect spot for it in my living room.

a glittery owl ornament. need i say more?

and this crochet panda ornament is so cute. it looks like the pet that i have on my ipod named jin su shi.

it snowed today for the first time. well, the snow stuck for the first time. i wish it would stay warm. i don't get along with the snow and the cold. they are rude because i get along better with the sun and heat.

however, the good thing about cold and snow is that it gets me in the christmas spirit early! i've been listening to christmas music all day. and jake and i have been watching holiday movies for weeks. these things are good.

hokay. here we goes.

i have a feeling that wish-list items will soon be abundant on my blog...

natural canvas toms

[vegan] charcoal toms

toms are great because each time someone purchases a pair, toms gives a needy child a pair of shoes too. "one for one." fashion and charity at the same time? sounds good to me.

i was much dismayed upon discovering that there aren't any sandals for sale (or even to look at!?) on the teva website at the present time. sure, they are wildly reminiscent of the nineties, and they sure as hell don't look good with socks, but i'm dying for a pair of those strappy, velcro beasts when the warm weather returns. and i'll probably wear them with socks at some point anyways, just to be obnoxious.

ps. my birthday is two months from today. i can't wait to not be a 'teen' anymore.

why don't i sleep?

i don't know.

but i need to.

but i can't.

i'm excited to go home in two weeks, and to see my family, and my good friends, and sleepover at sydnee's house!

i don't like getting ready for bed.. it takes too long, and by the time i use my pink grapefruit face wash and my peppermint toothpaste, i'm refreshed and even more awake.

i took some pictures today, finally. i hadn't taken any since vegas. for shame! but on my walk home from school there were so many leaves on the ground and i felt compelled to whip out my camera. also, there has been some construction in the neighborhood that i walk through to get to school, and this cone was just calling my name.

jake and i went to ogden tonight and saw a christmas carol with his mom and some other extended relatives. it wasn't what i expected, and i was a little disappointed. but it was still fun to watch because half of the characters looked like (and were) jim carrey. and he's a lunatic.
