Because I'm a slacker and never ever blog

A few Top Things that happened that I haven't gotten around to mentioning:

#1 Awkwardly Fantastic Thing - Halloween Dance with Derek Marsden {yeah, I know. What is it with me and asking sophomores?} We went as "Christmas" and I had a blast. Thanks Derek!

#1 Bitter Sweet Thing - Dallas {one of my best friends and the most genuine person I have EVER met} left for the MTC on Wednesday. I'm so excited for all he's going to do, but I'll miss that kid more than I can say. He's going to be one incredible missionary :)

#1 Choral Thing - First choir concert of the year! We're not exactly the incredible choir we were last year, but we'll get there :) And afterwards, I went on an awkward date-type thing to Pace's with KevKev {not really.....but really} and kicked Tyler and Kendall's butts at Halloween Bingo {we won't mention the Lego Harry Potter board game}.

#1 Terrifying Thing - Halloween means scary things. . .such as junior high choir concerts. 'Nuff said. {also terrifying: this picture. It has "archives" written all over it}

#1 Brave Thing - Football games have been a party and a half! Even though it's getting WAAY too cold to be outside. I must really want to support Hayden Call {#70} or something. . .

#1 Splendid Thing - I really have the best friends in the whole world :) Wouldn't trade these girls for anything

#1 Frustrating Thing - My phone is completely spastic and decided a few weeks ago that it would be a good idea to send texts to people they weren't intended for. A few of the weirdest:

"But then how would you kill me. . . .?"

"I'm just trying to flirt with you, nbd."

"Ew. I don't want to date you. . . "

". . . You know me too well."

All perfectly normal in context of my conversations, but a little sketchy if you get them out of the blue. So if you get something strange, you've been warned.

#1 Spooky Thing - Spent Halloween at Tyler Jean's marathon watching The Twilight Zone {doo-doo-doo-doo} A great night spent with my best friends :)

I forgot how much I miss. . .

• Falling asleep in a bed by myself and waking up to find I'm sharing it with my mom, Katherine, Anne, and Lucille.



• Waking up at 8 a.m. but not leaving bed until almost 10 because I'm busy listening to Melissa tell me about her boy :)



• Fighting with three sisters for the shower (yes, I'm surprised I missed that too)



• Blowing a fuse in the bathroom because there are WAAAY too many straightners/blowdryers/curling irons/iHomes plugged in. Oops.



• Shopping ALL day EVERY day with my three best friends.



• Asking "Is this cute or gross?" and getting the honest answer of "Gross"



• Blasting music in the car and belting at the top of lungs, most of us out of key :)



• Borrowing clothes and lip gloss and hair ties and body sprays :)



• MY SISTERS!!!!!!!

Having sisters is like having best friends you can't get rid of :)

Just a few reasons why my life is completely great

Hometown Glory

So last weekend was Homecoming weekend, and basically the greatest weekend ever.

First, the Homecoming game vs. Highland (who everyone thought was going to destroy us, but we ended up beating 27-3. Atta baby Braves!)

Then there was the dance.

The asking? He covered my driveway with construction paper feet. Yuck.

But one of them had this cute little poem asking me to the dance, so all was forgiven :)

(Plus I got really pretty flowers: sunflowers, my favorite!)

So to answer, I did this:

Times like ten.

Hey, bub. You were asking for it :)

The day activity (no pictures, sorry) was going to Boondocks! Super super fun!

Even though EVERYONE in our group (a total of sixteen people) teamed up again me and Kendall on the bumper boats and we got soaked :)

Then the dance!

Theme: "Hometown Glory"

Okay, I was totally in love with my hair! I've never done up an updo before, so I just felt all classy and grown up and stuff. Loved it :)

Plus I really liked my dress! (and please take note of the black glitter toms. tacky? maybe, but I liked them anyway :)

Then I got to go to the dance with this kid:

One of my very best friends and an absolute gentleman. He was the perfect date and I had SUCH a fun time!!

Thanks for an incredible night Kendall!! By far my favorite dance. You're the greatest :)

In Loving Memory

Today was a pretty sad day for me.

I had to bury my beloved Carl's Jr. toy.

Why, you may ask?

Because some nincompoop by the name of Kendall Clinger lost half of it...in the garbage can.

Some people, you know?

Anyway, R.I.P. Carl's Jr. toy. You will be missed.

Also, today I got nominated for Homecoming Queen? Weird. Definitely didn't see that coming...

Right this instant

I should be doing my AP Lit homework, but instead, I am

- Facebook stalking random people....
- Listening to Hunter Hayes <3
- Playing with my Carl's Jr. Kid's Meal toy
- Praising the name of Landon McKinnon and our newly founded friendship pact.
- Missing my favorite seniors (Lucy, Grace, Dan, Dallas, Erica)
- Stressing about stuff. . . basically anything and everything
and most importantly
- Avoiding any semblance of responsibility

So. . . . . . . yeah.

Also, random thought for the day:
Do you know who's probably the cutest girl on the planet?
Hanna Beatrice Cutler.
Seriously.
She's the only person I know who could make getting beaten up by Carl look graceful.
Also, she has probably the prettiest singing voice I've ever heard in person.
"Sometimes when you're distressed on stage, you just have to hold hands."
The end.

Reason #54 Why There's a Spring In My Step

Sometimes you're having a good day.

And then your big sister who you miss

<-------------------------------------------THIS--------------------------------------------->

much calls and you talk for an hour.

Then a good day turns into a FABULOUS day.

Miss you Lisser, but glad you're having a blast at BYU!
