Hola Future Me

The letter from the time capsule.

Hola future me! If you're reading this, I'm hoping there is a very sparkly diamond on your left hand. Anyway, this is pretty awesome. How man times do you get to write a letter to yourself? Right now, I'm currently 14 years 8 months and 21 days old not that I'm counting or anything. Today my favorite color is yellow. Yesterday it was orange. Right now I'm totally hyped about the 4th Twilight book coming out. I'm not excited about drum line. At the current moment I hate it. 

I've got a dog names Ginger, I wanted to name her Snoopy or Snufaluffagus. She's a hyper freak and I hate when she licks my toes or keeps me up at night. But she's cute. I'm really excited to learn how to drive. I'm going to Horizon this year, not at all excited about being a wimpy freshman. I hate gym and I'm sport/game challenged. I had my first ever free slur pie from 7/11 this Friday. I love orange juice, Smores Poptarts, and gummy bears. I have serious banana issues.

I am totally going to go to BYU Provo or bust. Not Idaho it's waaay too cold there, even though I've never been. I love duck tape, I even have a bag made out of it. My My Little Pony Collection currently has 37 ponies. I hate camping and rollercoasters. Jessica and I are working on a science tectbook full of wrong facts that we are going to publish and go to book signings for. My favorite word is Moscow. I have a friend who lives all the way in the UAE, cool huh? My email address is _____ (still use this email) My favorite t.v shows are Jon and Kate Plus 8, Burn Notice, Say Yes to the Dress, and BYU Weekly. My list of heros goes on and on. Sadly most are from books. I HATE HANNAH MONTANA! She is going to take over the world and we're all going to have to worship her.

Here's my version of what should happen at Girl's Camp. 1st year- bear hunting. 2nd year- squirrel hunting. 3rd year- extreme duck duck goose with real geese. 4th years- Narwal fishing. I hate cookies with semi sweet chocolate chips. When Brinley has kids I'm going to get them lost in the woods and I'm going to take Tanner's kids squirrel hunting while my kids will be deprived of chocolate chips.

I'm going to graduate from college just so I can write senior '16 on my car and have it be for a college senior instead of a high school senior. I think I'll wear converse to prom (I wore Vans ;)) My nickname is K to the Wylee, which I'm going to write k^wylee so only smart people will get it. I love my friend Amanda's middle name Chaliece.

December 17th is Biljy the frog day. Noverm 5th is contact Jessica for no apparent reason day and April 13th is Bob Hendrix day.

S.O.S.V.O.U.W stands for save our subversive vehicle of underwater warfare. Walmart and Hannah Montana can be used in place of swear words. I stare at people with binoculars during slow dances. I'm quite paranoid. I love llamas. And I only brush my teeth with Snoopy toothbrushes. I'm great at drawing. Not. And that's it future me!

    OK this is a brilliant idea. I wish I'd done it when I was younger! What a cool insight to remind you what it used to be like being you:)

Racism, stereotypes, and plain ole judging

Being in a class dedicated to the idea of migration has really kept the idea of racism on the brain. In elementary school, the idea of racism was so defined to me, thinking people are better than others based solely on the color of their skin. It wasn't until middle school after reading many books that I realized racism wasn't jut as issue of black versus white, rather it applies to all cultures. In high school I was actually shocked to here racist statements from people I loved. All the sudden this issue became personal somewhat. (My favorite statement was from a little girl who said, it should be illegal for Mexicans to have babies. I guess I can't have kids then.)  But it wasn't until last week when we did an activity in my public health class that I realized that I myself was being racist as well. Now, this is something I am not proud of. I'm very embarrassed actually and that activity was humbling. Why am I writing about this? Because, it's som...

Toxic Masculinity

It seems like forever ago that they released that Gilette ad about toxic masculinity. I watched as people I'd grown up with freaked out about it, saying that it said that men need to be like women, and that it condemned masculinity altogether, along with other things. I crafted post after post to write on my social media, but in the end didn't bother writing anything. I didn't feel like arguing with people. But I had to share my thoughts somewhere, so here they are.  To me, toxic masculinity is exactly what it says-- ideals of masculinity that are toxic. It's telling your son that he needs to suck it up and not cry. That he can get away with more than girls because 'boys will be boys.' The idea that he can't read or watch certain media because it's "for girls." At the same time, girls are asked to watch things that are "for boys" all of the time. It's the idea that men need to repress their feelings. That they can't be sc...

Little Bit o Writing Monday

The beginning of my short story for class.  When Dora's son tugged on her pants leg, the last thing she expected was to see him holding a tooth. A tooth that clearly did not belong to him. She was no dentist, but she was smart enough to know the colossal thing couldn't have come from Mark's mouth. “Mark, where did you find that?” Dora scolded. “In the backyard.” “Show me where,” Dora commanded. Excited, Mark ran out to the backyard, Dora following on his heels. He led her over to the back of the yard, to the particular corner that couldn't be seen from the kitchen window. There, her other two children were gathered around a hole in the ground. Hole was an understatement though, they'd obviously been working on this, pit, for quite sometime. If there had been no tooth, Dora would have sat the kids down and explained how digging holes this deep was dangerous because of all the water, electric, and who knows what else lines were under the ...
