C C Ceineritous

Do you remember my night class?
The one where I had three teachers within like the first week or two of school?

Well...
The CCC....
is out for revenge against me for some reason.
It's like I have developed some sort of block for that class....

In relation to homework assignments.

:S

For like the second time in a row....
I've misread the calender the teacher provided.
And ended up not having the assignment ready when it's actually due.

I think it's just because I was so excited for Spring Break...

and the week after Spring break is trying it's best to make me regret going on spring break haha.

Because the week before spring break, I thought an assignment due in the CCC was due on Wednesday of this week...but it was actually due before Spring Break started on the last day of class before the break.
While another assignment I thought was due later this week...was actually due earlier this week...

ugh...I think it's the teacher's calendar system that is throwing me off.
I keep assuming the assignments go in horizontal order by week.
Instead of vertical order by topic covered and possible assignment due.

My brain is shutting down!!
Oh no!
lol It must be a sign that I'm seriously getting sick of school...if I can't keep dates straight....
at least it's only this class that I'm having problems in....for now.
Though it tried it's best to give me problems in another class....
but that's a story for a different day. :)

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means

Inconceivable!

You know...
I've discovered that my definition of a word...is totally different from other people's definition of the same word.
Or perhaps...I have multiple definitions, and they only have one?
I don't know.

But anyway...
About midway through my Crazy College Trip...
We had a down day...and I suggested that we go shopping.
All the girls loved this idea!
Soo we made a plan and drove out to go shopping!

...can you see where this is going? lol.

Yah.
Apparently....its true...that when girls go shopping.
They automatically go to clothes stores.

()_() NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol

When I had been talking about going shopping...I was thinking along the lines of....well you know
Souvenir shopping.
Visiting all the unique shops that sell trinkets and all that.
Vacation shopping.
Like I do with my family.

The girls....I went with.....were thinking along the lines of.
Clothes
Clothes
and
more
Clothes.

MAKE IT STOP!!!

Honestly...I only really ever go shopping for clothes...when the new school year is about to start.
Maybe a 'new semester' is about to start.

But on vaca?
Not usually.

The girls on the other hand....it was like they were drawn to a light.
To the scent of new clothes.
Or something.

They migrated straight for the familarly named stores that the knew and loved.
O.o
You're in a city you've maybe never been to before. (like me)
And...you're in a store that can be found in almost every city around the state or even in your home town.
And you choose to go in there?!
I mean if it was some vintage shop, or a t-shirt place....
I could understand.

But seriously?!
Going to the shop you know and love?
Agh!
Not that I'd ever been in any of those stores before....
The others were mostly loving this experience...so yay for them.
After about a store and a half I had had enough...and basically said "Hey can we go to a non clothes store? oh look! there's one right here!"
It was their turn to be bored. lol.....
Oh well...at least they humored me.
>.< Not that I bought anything on this trip :( *sighs*

But I did have fun introducing the girls to Del Sol and their awesome color changing nail polish ^^;;

The moral of the story?
It's true that girls like to shop for clothes.
And I'll need to work on clarifying what I had in mind when I say 'let's go shopping!' lol

My car did humor me though on our way back to home base.
We tried to find a rock shop.
We found the site.
:( unfortunately it wasn't there anymore. :(
oh well.

At least we had fun 'shopping!' ;) right? lol

Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream

There was a guy on a horse...he looked a bit like the main character in the new 3 musketeers movie.
And he had a young curly blonde haired girl sleeping on a pillow on front of him. And he was trying to keep the girl safe while there were dangerous people all around trying to harm her and him.

then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again!

A Restless Night of Barking

I had to take a test today...a Performance Test...a retake of it....cus I didn't pass the first time around, today.
Which meant that I wanted to get a nice good nights sleep so that I could be wakeful when I 'performed' today.

Well...I was wakeful, but not in a good way.

You see....when I want something...it usually doesn't happen.

Like a good night sleep.

No. Last night I was confronted with this!


Demon Puppy!

(I took this photo back in 2009 by the by and she's not a puppy...she's like 11 now.)


BUT!
It perfectly shows what I had to deal with last night!

You see...My sweet little demon puppy...spent
ALL. NIGHT. LONG.

growling.
barking.
snarling
barking.

And she wouldn't stop!

It was like she was possessed!

I took her outside to see if she needed to take care of business before coming back inside.
But no. She kept barking and growling, and snarling!

I don't know if I managed to get more then an hour's sleep at any one point because she would keep waking me up!

Hopefully tonight...she's not as bad....not that I have anything important tomorrow like I did today that requires me to get a good night sleep.... lol 

(I was awake for my test by the by. :) So I'm good...until I find out my results...)
  
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream

My dream was pretty disjointed....
but I was at my brother's competition...helping him out, doing some sort of work, and I happened to look at my clock.
It said 12:48pm.
()_()
WHAT?!
NO!
THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT!
My performance test starts at 1:00pm!
And I was supposed to show up an hour beforehand to do stuff! To practice!
Now apparently I don't have time to do any warmups!
Gah!
I turned to my mom in a panic and asked why she didn't tell me sooner that it was almost one!
and she said to me that I hadn't told her that I needed to be gone earlier.
... >.>
<.<
I'm pretty sure I did.
But anyway I dashed off running/driving...somehow arriving at the center pretty much on time.
To find that the guy in charge of my test was late...and the other person there...I was in a warehouse type place with metal stairs...told me that he was expected to show up around 2pm.
So basically I was still on time, even though I was late...
but I was still in a pretty big panic about the whole thing.

Then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)

A Music Listening Breakthrough

Phew!

Hey guys!
I'm back!

All regenerized and relaxed....
plus sore...and dead tired.
But mostly sore!

In any case! You can expect me to be posting posts of postfulness again!
Yay!
(Anybody miss me? :) lol)

Soo anyway...
Topic.
I just got back from basically my 'first' totally college vacation...
where I went on vacation....with college people....
>.>
<.<
So weird!
You never know what to expect!
Or who will suddenly surprise you with what they can do!

But I'll talk about such things later. Maybe.
Right now...the focus is the road trip.
And you know what happens when you have a three hour road trip?
Yes...most of the car falls asleep.
But you also play music!
And in this generation of ipods and all variations of music things...
You can play your favorite music on the trip down.

I was hesitant about this.
I know what kind of music my family likes...
but the LDSSA? I wasn't sure what kind of music they all liked.
Soo in many cases I was hesitant to play songs I liked...
and tried to play songs they liked.
Usually I managed to do this by listening to their conversation and seeing what music they mentioned that I had. :) lol.

But today...on the way back home to Happy Valley...
I didn't do that lol.
Apparently I had relaxed enough with my LDSSA companions...
that I just put on my favorite's play list.
And let it go!
And surprisingly enough....
people liked the songs! :D
They were like "No way! You have this! I love this song!"
It often seemed to be like we had similar tastes in music.
Not always...I still had a few songs that they had never heard before.
Just like they had songs (many many songs) that I had never heard before.
So it wasn't like we were being copy cats or something. :)

But I'm glad to know...that my road trip companions like my style of music as well. :)
I have more fun when I can enjoy my songs, instead of worrying if the other people in the car like my songs as well or if they're wishing for the music to end.

--I got that feeling a bit when I would have a song playing...and somebody would suggest another song..and then we'd play that song.... :(
*sniff* poor favorite song.
lol
It was a process.

But fun all the same!
Jamming out to all the different beats! :)

Soo next time you're on a car trip....just play your favorite songs. :)
Chances are...other people will like them as well. :D

We can be closet favorite music people together!
-meaning we can love obscure bands/songs while everyone else looks at us confused. lol :)

Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream(s)

- I was with a group of people. There was a guy who looked alot like the guy from the movie "The Single's Ward" that had tattoos and liked to bungee jump cars. Anyway...he got turned into a ferret/rabbit/squirrel creature and he was helping us...being our guide, leading us to a place that was really red....flames and smoke and red rock....(the Eye of Mordor comes to mind) I think we were trying to break some sort of spell.... and me and another person got into a hot air balloon while others were trying to stop us by shooting missiles and such and our ferret friend almost died...but he survived!

- I was getting married. In my house...it was like a huge mansion...old mansion style house with many rooms and stairwells and such. My family had gathered preparing for the ceremony. It was all in the prestage stuff, where mothers were cooking, kids were screaming, blah blah blah. I caught a glimpse of the bride. She had long dark hair and was wearing a beautiful white dress. It went to the floor, and was bright white with long white sleeves and the neck kinda was scooped shaped. She looked pretty! Though I thought it was odd for her to have white sleeves...I liked it though. Anyway...I was having my doubts! I was getting married! Was this right?! Did I even know the guy?! I walked through the various rooms, halls, and stairs praying in my heart....Heavenly Father...is this right? Is this the right guy? And I had this happy feeling in my chest that it was right. :D
Then my husband to be swooped in and kissed me. His name was Ryan, and he had darker hair...brown/black and a nice smile. He was built along the lines of one of the LDSSA members. -Archi. I pulled away still feeling his kiss on my lips. It was nice. Comforting... energizing.

-There was some sort of party going on....
I was at my Cousin Jody's house for some celebration...actually she and her family lived in  one of the apartment complexes of this huge building. It reached for the sky. We climbed the stairs up to her place and let ourselves in....I was watching her kids...and playing with them...when one wanted to jump off the balcony into one of the sets of pools like five or six or...well a loong
my brother and I were with a group...of people, and we were facing off against these evil bad guy type people....it was like a game of capture the flag...but more violent. We would face off. My team on the street across from my house, the other team up the street across from the Gibb's place area.
We'd say that we were ready and then start running...
and the Garbage truck...we could hear it coming... would zoom into sight. Ready to chase us down.
It wasn't a typical garbage truck though. No...it was a yellow race car looking car....camero? one of the older models.
And we would have to run from the garbage truck -this yellow car- while the bad guys also ran at us trying to capture us.
Round after round, the garbage truck would come screaming around the corner where Walker's sat, and chase after us. And round after round, the bad guys would win. We'd get away from them...go back to our starting positions and go at it again.
And each round it got more and more violent and sometimes we wouldn't even make it back to our starting positions before they began the next round.
At one point the garbage truck came straight at me. I took a running leap....
and managed to jump over the car!
Sweet!
But the bad guys didn't like that.
They attacked us/me.
I fought them off. Biting, scratching kicking....
until they let go...
and we could go back to our starting positions.
I decided that I was going to talk to my teammates. To try and figure out a strategy so that we could win this and not let the bad guys get any more powerful...

when the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)

The Beginning of a Crazy College Trip

It's so odd to travel to a place on Sunday.
I mean that's usually the day you head back home if Monday isn't a holiday.
So heading out somewhere on a Sunday...
Well, I keep forgetting that it's Sunday.
I keep thinking it's Saturday or Friday.
Oh well ^^; it's still fun to travel away from the home place...
O.o it's like my first college trip.
Where I've willingly allowed myself to be part of the crazy college crew.
Lol I'm curious to see if we all survive this week without being injured lol
Cross your fingers. ;)


Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

Note: I wrote this top post from my iPod touch! So cool! :D


The Dream


The setting switched from my house, to the institute, to outside my house.
I was busy with the institute council planning and trying to get something together our trip most likely.
I was in my parents bedroom getting things together.
And one of the stake presidents was being shown around our institute building.
He looked the bedroom up and down and asked what this was for.
I said that it was to house....people...idr but they were church people. the president, missionaries.
Then my mom and sister came in. My sister was hanging up tinsel and wreath like things.
She was really wanting to get ahead on Christmas decorating.
I thought she was crazy.
We were standing outside packing, hanging more decorations...
when a racket came up behind me.
I turned and saw this whole mass flock of birds.
They were flying at us.
My mom called for us to duck.
So I ducked.
But that didn't save us.
As the birds flu over....
rain fell down...stinky rain.
Finally it was over.
We straightened.
Heard more noise. more birds were coming
oh no...I wasn't going to get rained on again.
Soo I dashed to my dad's truck and made it inside.
Avoiding more rain.
I looked out the window...and Jaedean from Yugioh GX was on a cliff face...dueling...but he was being controlled by somebody else. And whenever he set down a monster card he would shift into that monster and have to fight....he was terrified to fight.

TMtP Points for the Win!

Giddy excitement.
So almost hyper.
But extremely happy! :D
Why?

Well.... you know how yesterday I ventured out the meet the TMtP bloggers?
And they gave me something?
Well...it was 12,700 TMtP points.
But like Whose Line is it Anyway.
The points don't matter. :D
But it is extremely fun to get them!

So I went to bed last night.
Thinking...Half wondering if I would be mentioned on their blog
I dismissed it as a prideful thought, and didn't think much more about it.
But guess what?!
Yah!
You totally guessed it!
When I woke up this morning I was mentioned on their blog post! :D
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay...it wasn't by name. But it was me they were referring to! :D

What did they say?
This:
"We also had an awesome reader who didn’t get a chance to go to the concert, and yet still stopped by the meeting point to say hi to us. Yay for commitment we don’t deserve! We really should have given you more blog point stickers. So… 15,000 more points to you!"

I got 15,000 more blog points! :D YAY!!
So my totall is now 27,700 TMtP points! :D

Oh. So giddy! :) I was mentioned on someone elses blog! :D
http://totallymissingthepoint.wordpress.com/2012/03/10/friday-night-concert-or-the-one-where-we-first-saw-vp-live/#comments   -Here's the link for proof ;) lol. It's near the bottom of this long post.

Anyway.
Even though they said that I would get 15k points...
They weren't mine yet.
Why?
Because TMtP has a policy where you need to comment on the blog and claim your points...in order to get those points.

:S Dun Dun Dun
That meant...I would have to comment. :S
I've never commented on a blog.
I'm quite content to keep my presence in the shadows.
That way the bloggers don't know how often or how quickly I go to their site to see if there is a new post or read the post.
The most I will do is 'Publicly Follow' your blog....and I don't do that for every blog either...friends/family yes. More...famous people? No. I tend to be Anonymous. :S

-That reminds me. You know why last night was exciting? Because I basically came out of the shadows. :D lol. It reminded me alot of when I go to book signings for my favorite authors. Only this time I went to see fellow bloggers.
Ah...that's why it wasn't as awkward as it could have been. :) I was basically saying hi to favorite authors of mine. Stepping out of the shadows to say "hey! You're an awesome writer! I love to read what you write!"

Anyway...back to the concept of commenting...
I had the general rule not to do that.
But...this was the perfect excuse to comment and not seem weird commenting.
I was just claiming my points after all. :D

So after like 3 hours of debate...because this was my first comment...and I wanted it to be somewhat interesting...I wrote this:

">.>
< .<
Do you know how weird it is to step out of the readership shadows to actually make a comment?
(It's extremely weird. But thrilling!) :)
Yay for my first blog comment ever! ^^;;

I had a fantabularly awesome time venturing into BYU territory to meet you guys! Thanks for being willing to meet with your readers….and for the extra 15K points! :) "

After debating about the wording and such...I finally hit send!
Yes! Points claimed!
Only...to my embarrassment...I realized I'd commented on the wrong blog post.
()_()
oops. ^^;; haha...ah excitement...
They had written a newer post..and I'd refreshed the page...so it went to that newer post...and I hadn't realized...
oh well... I still claimed my points...just not on the page I wanted to claim them on.
But...there was a double bonus to posting on the wrong blogpost...
because by commenting on that blog post....since it was their 100th blog post...I got 100 more TMtP points!
So now I'm up to 27,800 points! :D

I actually commented twice on that blog post...
The second time I said this:

Oops…I meant to comment on the post before this… Oh well. ^^; Congrats on the 100th post!
And the meeting spot last night wasn’t that bad. :) I felt a little like a secret agent spy person when I was wandering around in the dark looking to meet up with you guys. So. much. Fun! :D


Yah..I'm not claiming another 100 TMpT points for commenting twice.
That's...totally unfair. :)

Besides I got 15k points today! :D an extra 100 were good, but I'm content with that, i don't need another hundred.

Haha...yah...I feel kinda like the fool...but it was my first post...Something usually goes wrong if its a first and you're really excited :D lol

But then...as an added moment of giddiness!
One of the commenters mentioned me as well! :D
(I'd run into them while meeting the bloggers...they'd come to meet the bloggers as well! )

They said this:

....(words before this point not dealing with me)...."And to the cute reader who was having a lovely conversation outside with T&C until we brought our noisy McCircus out, I’m so sorry for barging in…"  .....(more words after this point not dealing with me.)

-Why is it...that when I meet people they refer to me as 'cute?' It's happened way more then once...so strange...lol I think it may be that I look younger then my age...therefore...cute. Such a sweetheart and such. :) lol.


I responded to like so:

"O.o lol. You barge in? Never! It was a pleasure to meet you three as well! :) Who can be miffed at seeing/meeting three McCutenesses in one spot??? :D
>.>
T&C -Looks like we got out of there in the nick of time! ;) haha! Ah. Timing. Gotta love it. :D "


-Ha! Gave the cuteness right on back! :P hehe

(my last comment was commenting on the other poster's comment part that came after the part that didn't deal with me)

Ah such an exciting day! And it wasn't even noon by this point! :D lol

Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

Editor's Note: I may or may not be posting this next week as I will be on vaca since it's Spring Break! Soo if you don't hear from me before Friday...that's why! :)

The Dream

...oddly enough....my dream dealt with vocal point...but in the excitement of my TMtP points this morning...I've completely spaced it. :)

A Random Blog Meeting

Do you ever want to do something completely random....
but you end up talking yourself out of it?
Well not this time!
:D
I actually took the plunge and it wasn't as awkward as I was thinking it would be. :)

What did I do?
Well...you see....
There is this blog....
>.>
I may have mentioned it before.
And the people in this blog...obsess over one of my favorite music groups -vocal point.
And their blog...is TOTALLY AWESOME!
To the point...where I'm totally jealous. >.>
lol I wish my blog was like theirs...
but I'd need something to obsess over first....
and I've done a couple of blogs where I've explained I don't really obsess...
so I'll keep dreaming that my blog will be epically awesome and funny one day ;) lol.

Anyway...the writers of the blog... http://totallymissingthepoint.wordpress.com/
Have come to visit here! To see Vocal Point in person! :D
And they were kind enough to say that they were willing to meet readers after the Vocal Point Concerts.
Soo what did I do?
Yep, I went and met them :D
lol. So much fun!
I even got a little something from them as well for dropping by ^^
It was nice to meet them....
and I wish I could have done a bit more with them....like show them around town...
but I'm content to say that I've met some fellow bloggers that I didn't know before I knew they blogged!
Hehe.
^^;; I feel like I'm part of some special club now.
The club of "we follow your blog so lets meet up in person!"

:D
haha. I admit...I had my doubts about going to see these fellow bloggers.
I mean... >.> <.<
Basically its just the "Hi! I stalk your blog! Nice to meet you!" type of situation.
You know that there are people reading your blog...but to meet them in person?
Yah...I had my qualms about it.
But it turned out well ^^
>.>
<.<
Hopefully they didn't think me too odd.... :)

Oh well ^^;; I'm still excited about it :D
Yay!
I went and did something random today!
-because you know...I didn't go to the concert...($$$issues) I just dropped by to say hi to them...talk about random lol

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream

There was a woman....Julia Roberts.
She was famous, an actress.....this dream now seems alot like Notting Hill now that I think about it.
She was out on the town and ran into this guy....he was tall, cute..ish...he was bald...so he wasn't cute to me, but to her he was handsome.
They did the whole get to know each other.
but then came the slanderous something or another.
Something got out to the press...it was a some sort of advertising...a graphic version of her face with bright red lipstick on a clear clear wrap type of thing.
And apparently it was really scandals,
and Julia had to go running from the mobs
She ended up in her house, trying to go to her secret spot where she went to calm herself down, but that spot in the basement was known by fans now so she ended up upstairs in a sewing guest room on a bunk bed. Then the bald guy came in....they started kissing....they woke up the next day together, happy content.....

and then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and i became myself again. :)
