JOBS! Finally!

Yeah, so it feels like I haven't written something interesting in a long time... even though stuff really does happen in my life... I promise. I mentioned my boyfriend in my last blog, but I still don't have pictures of him... because they are on his camera and my sisters never let me borrow theirs. Anyway, I did get a job.. or 2. There is one at Kohl's. This job I just got and it sounds fun and I get paid $7/hr for now. I will be working in recovery in the kids dept after I return from girls camp. I love how professional it feals. Then I also got a job at Boondocks. They started training me a few days ago... at snack bar! out of all places! I didn't like it. After I had worked at Little Caesars for 8 months I vowed to never work with food of any kind ever again. I don't like the environment either. Maybe I am not cut out for this job... besides they only pay $6/hr. I rather just have a job at Kohl's. I don't want the confusion of trying to figure out the schedules for both. Well... I don't have anything real interesting to write in this blog, so if you want to read something interesting, you might want to take a look at my previous blog on tips for guys in a relationship. I love those!

relationship tips

I got this as a bulliten on my myspace, but it is one of my favorites, so I always wanted to remember it. I decided to blog about it. Sure some of them could be changed, but I agree with most of them. Esspecially since my boy friend (yes I have one and his name is Josh Jay Jones) did number 12. He gave me his ring. I always wear it... and I rarely even wear jewelry at all. I guess once I get pictures on my computer I will write more about him. Anywho, I don't know what guy wrote this, but he's a genius. Every single guy on the face of the earth should read this. If they did, girls would probably get treated a lot better than they do...This was written by a guy who has had years of experience. and he's pretty damn good. with girls..

1. Whatever you do, don't just show up at their house [without notice]...they run around in their underwear just like we do.
2. DON'T EVER CHEAT ON THEM. It may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. Trust me, they WILL find out and you will be mud.
3. Beware of every single male relative and all guy friends. Any of them would kick your ass at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the hat.
4. NEVER miss an opportunity to tell them they're beautiful.
5. DON'T refuse to kiss in front of your friends. If they laugh at you, it's because they're jealous.
6. If they slap you hard, you deserved it.
7. Don't be afraid to touch them if you want to. If they're going out with you in the first place, it's because they like being in your arms.
8. If you don't sleep with them, DO NOT tell your friends that you did.
8. If you DO sleep with them, DON'T tell your friends that you did.
9. You can be dirty minded in private, really...most of them are not offended by it...
10. Not all of them eat like birds, a lot of them can eat like whales.
11. Most of them don't mind paying half of everything, but they do discuss these things with their friends. Realize that if you make your girlfriend pay half all the time, everyone will know about it and your friends will know you're a pussy..11. Do you honestly need all your money that much? Be a man, pay all the time!
12. Every girl should eventually get three things from her boyfriend- a stuffed animal, ONE OF HIS SWEATSHIRTS, and a really PRETTY RING (plastic ones from machines count). Even if it's not a serious relationship.
13. Make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. If you're dropping her off, walk her to the door. If you aren't dropping her off, call to be sure she's home safely.
14. If a guy is bothering her, it is your right to beat the shit out of him.
15. If you're talking to a female friend of yours, PULL YOUR GIRLFRIEND CLOSER.
16. NEVER, ever slap her, even if it's just in a joking way. Even if she swats you first, and says, "Oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back.
17. Go to a chick flick once in a while. She doesn't care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went.
18. You're dead meat if you can't get along with their pets, parents, and best friends. Be prince charming to their friends, Mr. Polite to their parents, and make sure to be nice to their animals.
19. Don't flirt with their moms...that's just freaky.
20. Don't be freaked out by PMS. It's not gross, and it really does make them feel like shit, so be understanding.
21. If you don't like the way they drive, you do it.
22. If you're officially dating, and you're introducing her to your friends, you'd better damn well introduce her as your girlfriend.
23. Don't stress where you go for every date. They really only want to be with you.
24. If they complain that something hurts, rub it for them WITHOUT being asked.
25. Girls are fragile. Even if you're play fighting/wrestling, be very gentle.
26. Memorize their birthdays. You forget her birthday and you're basically screwed for life.
27. Don't marinade the cologne, but smell good.
28. Don't give her something stupid for her birthday or Christmas or Valentine's day. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful.
29. If you think the relationship isn't going to last, don't wait to find out. It will only hurt her more if you draw it out.
30. After you've been dating for a while, realize that they really have started to have a lot more responsibility, privilege and control than you would think. Be careful with it, most guys would kill for that kind of power, and it can be lost in a nanosecond.
31. NEVER, and i mean NEVER make her do anything she doesn't wanna do. Because if you do she'll think that you're only after one thing.

(and i think you all know what that is)(If you have read this and you are a girl, then some of these things are actually really true...am I right?! And if you read this and you are a guy, then these are like the best tips you could ever get!)

Don't Ask

Yeah... you are probably wondering what this exactly is.......... well, don't ask. I was bored out of my mind. Right now it is 6:33. I have been up for the past 2.5 hrs. I have never been up this early since school got out. Why am I up this early? even I can't answer this question. I have just found myself not tired. I have tried to take up my time doing several different things.... like writing in my journal for over an hour... then I took a shower. I even tried talking to my sister while she was talking in her sleep. It was hilarious listening her talk about a pharmacy at Albertsons. Yeah, I love that girl. I have been going insane because at this time in the morning all of my friends are asleep. I have no one to talk to or do anything with. I have ran out of things to do online... which is why I am now blogging about this great experience while repeatedly listening to 3 of the Rascal Flatts CDs.... well, I haven't gotten through them all yet. Don't worry, I will soon. Now for more rambling... did you know I have seen every movie in the theater that sounds even remotely good. yeah.... there is nothing left, so tomorrow when I go on a super date that I am excited for... i will watch Cars for the second time. I can't stop thinking about how the date will go. I guess that is what happens when you find your mind wandering at 4 AM. Yeah... now I don't know what else to ramble about. I guess I could mention how my friend Anneliesa and that guy Seth are officailly together. Where I have never even had an official boyfriend. I will live... I have so far. You know what? I think that this blog needs to have a theme to it, but for some reason I can't think of one. I wonder why! I know... I didn't get any sleep... but I am not tired... that doesn't mean I would think clearly. Hmm... well, I think I am going to go now. I guess I can fill up the next few hours with reading. ok.. well toodles!

BOYS!!!

I hate them all. They all are exactly the same! They like to lead you on, make you fall in love with them, and break your heart. I have had this same experience happen to me a thousand of times. I am tired of it. All I want is for one guy to prove to me that they are not all the same. I mean... already this summer I have gone on several dates... and the process just repeats itself! I guess it is just that ever since I have ended things with Kelly 2 months ago, I have been looking for something new. I guess I am just looking too hard. Right after Youth Conference, I went on a date with a great guy named Seiya... he is half Japanese. We have so much in common. He didn't really hurt me though... because I kept myself safe on this date. In my head I just rememeberd that he is leaving on a mission in a few months... so nothing would come out of it. He is still one of my many crushes and I am very happy to have met him. But then a week ago I met a guy named Andrew at my friend Katrina's b-day party. I wish I hadn't. He broke my heart. I mean... 6 days ago he took me on the best date I had had in a while. We went hiking to the twin lakes and took pictures with eachother and the great view. I was actually happy. Then we went swimming and... he kissed me. I know I should have stopped him, but I returned the affection. I actually thought, "this might go somewhere and I might a have a boyfriend soon!" We kissed several times throughout the night... even at his house (don't worry... I kept my promise and didn't make out). I was falling in love yet again. I even liked his family. His mom was way awesome! Then I got hurt again... today. Apparently I am not good enough for his parents just because our religions are different. Why does religion matter? If 2 people like eachother than that shouldn't matter, should it? Well, I always stay friends with people who break my heart, so I hope we can still be friends. I also hope that I can not make this stupid choice again. I am now making a vow to never kiss a guy again unless we are a couple. This is because I hate the fact that everytime I kiss a guy, it is only once. I have never kissed a guy more than once. Am I really that bad? who knows. Anyway, back on topic... I am just looking for that special guy who can lift me off my feet and can care for me and love me. Sorry about all of this... I just needed to get this out.

Youth Conference

FYI: I forgot to bring a camera, so all of my pictures are from the net (if my computer will work ever that is! I am having difficulties lately....sorry)

I just returned from my great experience of Youth Conference! I did not believe I was going to have so much FUN! We went up to Utah State University where we had the chance to stay in dorms along with 5 other groups from all over Utah! For those three great days we did a billion things. We started out with swimming. It was fun, but a little stupid. We hardly new each other and were all off in our own little groups of 3 or 4 people. Oh well. We played a few get to know you games as a ward and then went star gazing! It was okay... I was a little loopy because of the 3 hours of sleep the night before. It was worth seeing Superman! Anyway, back to the subject...
Stargazing! We looked at different planets through telescopes.... I had never done this before! There was the moon with all of the craters in sight along with Jupiter (with 4 moons), Mars (very red), Saturn (with the ring around it), and a globular cluster! I usually only see this kind of stuff in pictures. Who knew I would have this chance!
The next day was the best ever! As a ward we played a few interesting games that taught us team work. We did all sorts of things like racing on 2 wooden logs that we couldn't fall off of (hard to explain), logic games, getting across a "river" using 6 wooden blocks, helping team mates get through a maze, etc. It was fun. After a short break and lunch, we visited the Logan temple that sits on top of a hill. The place was beautiful and we had a great history lesson out by a few trees. Returning back to campus, we prepared for the exciting Aggie Games! We mixed up with members in the other 4 groups and split into 8 groups. This was the beginning of the end! I finally met with people outside my ward. Personally, I was not too happy before this. My group started with a few games of Volleyball, then had some Aggie Ice-cream, and followed that by playing "Rock, paper scissors." Weirdest game ever! I had never heard of it before. There were 2 separate teams wearing flags and each team would agree on one object... rock, paper, or scissors. Then both teams would face each other and find out which team won! The winning team would chase the losers and grab flags. The ones who didn't make it to safety with flags in tact would change teams. Yeah, my team so WON! WOOT!!! There were other activities on this huge field like ultimate Frisbee, rock climbing, and water games. Throughout the games I was able to meet a guy named Ben Paul from Morgan City and a guy named Seiya (half Japanese) from Taylorsville City. They were both built and very attractive *blush* I got their numbers by the end of the week. :D Turns out these games gave me a very distinct sunburn which is now tan. Sadly, it shows when I go swimming. :( Oh well.
They banquet was okay..: P but after a super speaker, we went to the dance a half an hour late. When we arrive... NO ONE WAS DANCING! What kind of dance is this? By now, my ward and bonded and become best friends. We all headed to the middle of the floor and just started dancing! I loved how we were the life of the party! I believe I danced every song! Luckily it was in a court yard outside with beautiful landscape. I found it strange that most of the guys I danced with were from the other groups. Of course I danced with Ben along with 3 other cute friends of his. There was also Seiya Bryant... yeah... I loved dancing with him. We even talked for a little when the song was over. We have so much in common. It made me realize that I never get the chance to show my full self to people because they would never understand. I am a girl who reads Manga...Graphic novels... to others they see them as kiddish cartoons from Japan that are ridiculous... especially since you read them backwards. I was always afraid that if anyone found out that part about me that they wouldn't like me. To Seiya I could show my whole self. Around him I am free...from what I know. Of course, I just met the guy. Anyway, back to the dance. I also met this hot kid from a different part of Draper named Brandon Perry. I had a really fun conversation.... besides the parts where my ward friends rudely (jk) interrupted because they knew him. That is when it hit me... THIS was the guy they all were talking about! We were going to go on a date when conference was over, but it turned out he had work. Oh well. I went with Seiya instead (I will post about this in one of the next posts).
The dance was followed an hour and a half midnight swim! This one was a billion times better because we had all become friends and mingled with everyone from the 5 groups. I mean, I played basketball in the water with the bishop. That is kinda weird, but I loved it! I also liked the fact that I was able to spend these last few days with people who had the same values as me and wore modest clothing and swimming suits.
The next morning I woke up and went on a search for all of those guys I wanted to keep in touch with. I got Ben's number, Seiya's number, and Brandon's number! I don't know if I will ever see Ben again, but the other 2 I am going to try and hang out with because you can never have too many friends, right? Well, YC was over and we were all tired from the sun, walking, activities, and not enough sleep. I came home and wished I could have fallen to sleep, but I had somewhere to go 2.5 hours later. I learned something from this experience... if I want to go to Utah State like I planned... DONT LIVE IN THE DORMS :P Apartments are the way to go!
