Oh English

Oh English, how grateful I am that I speakest thou,
And have a vast vocabulary of words to show,
how I am feeling.
If only I had time to learn them all,
and master using them correctly.

We were given a list of words an adequate writer doesn't use today in Brit Lit and I was embarrassed at how many of those words sneak their way into my vocabulary. I'm going to get them out of my language. Like nail chewing and chocolate consumption, they're a habit so it might take some time to break it. I'm literally staring at my keyboard right now going, oh golly which words can I type. Instead of a steady rhythm of words being brought to life it's choppy and non soothing.

Pictures of the day:



HE'S HOLDING CHOCOLATE!
The first is the bestby's brand. He's been drawing it on my arm from before we were dating and I love it. It was his cool way of flirting. I remember I came home one day and my dad saw it and was like who drew that and I was like Sammy and he was like tell her to get some paper and I was like Sammy's a guy and he was like oh. And then we were dating the next week :)

And the second is a heart I drew on the bestby's head. I thought it was cool!

Today we sat outside and took turns reading The Giver in the sun. I haven't read that book since the 5th grade and I forgot how amazing it is and weird. I can't wait to keep reading it in the sunshine! That's the best way to read books.

Wuthering Heights is frustrating me. Impending doom is coming but it's taking it's sweet time getting there! Emily Bronte- you are an amazing writer and I'm glad that you were able to reveal who you really were so you can get credit. I wish you'd written more novels. Sigh. The newest film version just won an award in Italy and I cannot wait until it finally makes it's way to America so I can see it!

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
