Hey so

I'm back. I found another computer that wasn't being used and that wasn't going to be shut down. *phew* this keyboard is somewhat different, which is why I'm back here. Okaybye

This will be quick

because I still have to finish this paper and not much time to do it in. Okay: random thought of the day: Rebecca Black's initials? RB: Really Bad. Ponder that for a while.
Ummmm I feel like there's some other stuff to say but mainly anyone reading this is going to be disappointed because there's not really any content it's just me warming up my fingers and getting ready to typetypeteyp
on that note, I sure am glad that we have computers. Imagine if our teachers wanted us to print our essays and we had to rent out a time in a legit printing place (like where the Book of Mormon was originally printed) and we had to set every letter by hand. That would get rather annoying. And The computer just told me that they're all shutting down for devotional soon.
Cool. That's way neat.

It must be that time again

and by that time I mean I'm working on my paper. Yay. I'm a little tired-tipsy right now, so my thoughts are not coming together very well at all right now. Hopefully this word vomit will increase my thought processes, and enable me to write my essay faster and easier and more awesomer. Yeah. This will *totally* help. Awesomer is exactly what I need to use on my essay.
Actually, I'm in a different part of the library today, and I'm liking this keyboard better than the last one, so it should at least help my WPM in that respect (though I'm still a sloppy typer; good thing this isn't a type writer or else I'd have to put correction fluid all over the place. So I had my German party today: we had lots of good food (this one kid made a pizza on wheat bread. Suprisingly good!). But the feature of class was that every groups' skits were due. Three groups had filmed their skits, and the other two groups (ours included) performed ours live. My favorite of the other skits was the two guys who had done a rough translation of RB's Friday into German, and filmed themselves biking around. Actually, I might be able to find it. Gimme a sec.
YES! I found it :)

It's made even better by the fact that they can't sing..at all. Gelol.
Ok, that just made me really happy again. I'll leave you all alone now, and try to get another page down. See you in another page and/or occurrence of writer's block

Long time no see

Back so soon...it must just mean I'm procrastinating. Though I almost have a full page! Only 4 more to go :(
So random information about myself: I've been going to the gym with some of my roommates (mainly Chase, though) for the past two months (on and off). We change up our routine every time, but we keep one thing every time we go: the bench. I think it's my best measure of improvement: When I first went I started off benching something like 85 pounds; as of Tuesday, I benched 135. And not maxing out, either, but I got a full 10 reps in.
So college is awesome: I'm having teacher sanctioned class parties in at least three of my classes: the only thing that's bad about that is that I have to remember to bring stuff in: on Monday I have to bring cups in for my social dance party, and then I'm bringing chips in for my German 101 party (Deutscheparty?)! The following Wednesday is my acting class's party (and did I mention that it's the day I get my mission call? no? well it is. WO0000OO00oo00OO00oOooOOO0t!).
Ummmmm go go gadget gratuitous video:

Hello World

yo. Sup. Okay, let's cut to the chase. I haven't been posting recently because I haven't had the time. There's this whole college thing around me and that, surprisingly, is rather time/commitment/life/blegh consuming. If I happen to not be posting, one might safely assume one of two extreme cases: 1) I am tearing my life to shreds, playing video games at all hours of the day/night, never going to sleep and possibly developing a drug habit. Or 2) I am spending my free time improving myself, going to the gym, going running, actually doing homework that isn't due tomorrow, and getting my mission papers ready. Yes folks, my mission papers. I got them all prepared, and turned in 10 days ago (Sunday before last). I should get my call one week from today (provided you're reading this and it's Wednesday, otherwise just go to next Wednesday). So that's FREAKING EXCITING!!! *ahem*.
To be honest, the biggest reason I'm updating, writing all of this stuff that no one cares to read anyways, is because I have a paper to write, and I am a master procrastinator. Now, I've had my roommate hide my video games, and I ditched my laptop in order to come to the library and use a computer that doesn't have any sort of games on it at all. Of course, then I found some flimsy excuse about how I'm not used to these keyboards, and so the best way to deal with that was to hash out a blag post. (yeayy). This is the result of my 'efforts to get acquainted with my computer'.
Short blurbtastic blurb about my life: I have finals in two count 'em two weeks. Actually, it's more like 10 days. I have the next two days of class, plus the following week, then finals. Of course, some of my finals start before the proclaimed Week O' Pain. Both of my dance classes are testing next week, Swing in my social dance class, and our final dance for my clogging class.
The below, for funs, is the first dance we did (in class we test a skills test, then a short solo, then a dance. This video was the first dance we did, and we are in the process of learning our last one now, which we will test next Thursday).

I know I could have been a lot better, what with energy and high knees and remembering the progression of the steps and such. Don't hate.
Anyways, I should probably get to my essay now. If I do find myself faltering, I'll come right back here, don't you worry :p

Self referential random title

Hello again. I speak to you from beyond the veil...of procrastination. My life is actually pretty busy, whether you believe it or not, and while one (me) might think from time to time about updating one's (my) blog, such a thing does not happen, not when there's minecraft, or dates, or webcomics, or what have you.
However, I received my due chastisement when, in a bout of such procrastinatory action, I found my way to Brian's Blog (alliteration always intended), where lo and behold, he too, was lazy and not updating. Key word there being 'was,' because he is updating now; one of his Kentucky friends had convinced him to do this cool little '30 DAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE EXTRAVAGANZA OF SERIOUS AWESOMENESS." Actually..... the 30 day thing was his. But I'm keeping the whole thing, for reasons of my own. Basically, the premise is this: every day for the next 30 days I post something on a theme or topic and you like whether you like it or not (wait..). Technically, by taking on this challenge, this becomes day 0: the 30 day challenge explanation and description. It's day 0 in the 30 day challenge...I guess it's an array or something of size 31? and we're at index 0? sure. Let's go with that.
Change of topic. So, I was sick on Monday. Like, really sick. Sicker than I remember being in a long time. It started really suddenly, too, on Sunday night: at around 7:00 I just suddenly started getting cold, like, really cold. I put on four layers of clothing, then got in bed and shivered my way to a fitful sleep. Monday I stayed in bed. Like, all day. I got up to drink, use the bathroom, and throw up (twice). ..yay. Out of the blue, Courtney texts me asking if I'm alright, which I manage to convey to her that I'm not, and she brings me blessed things: powerade, tylenol, chicken soup. It would have made me very happy at the time were I not totemo miserable. As it was, I was marginally less miserable due to the supplies. (Thanks Court!)
Not to mention that I got fired on Sunday...I mean, on Sunday, really? I worked grounds, right? and as such, I was expected to come in whenever it snowed more than an inch. I was told that if I missed three snow removals, I would be fired. Come Saturday morning, I missed my second one. However, it turns out my boss was more lenient with the hirees than she should have been; there needed to be a budget cut and mine was the one that got slashed. So I'm also looking for a job, as well as trying to make up all this work from the Sick Days (duhn duhn DUHHHN).
I feel like I ramble...do I ramble? I kind of always thought that that was kind of the general nature of my blog. I guess so. Moving on!
Last week I did some pretty cool stuff: stuff that I'll only glance over now, but that if I had blogged then would get pretty detailed overviews. Last Friday I skipped all (3) of my classes to go to SLC. The cozening behind this was A Thousand Suns Tour--Linkin Park's tour for their new album. I'd never been to a legit concert before, what with standing wicked close to the stage and having people spit beer on me (accidentally, I'm sure) from behind. But it was awesome. I even knew like four of the songs that LP played. Then, of course, I got this awesome T-Shirt to prove I'd been and that I like music too. No really, I do! I swear, I like music as much as the next guy!
It was awesome. Pics:

before the show; right against the stage

as we were walking up and away (most of the things on the ground were beer cups)

So that was cool. Next thing!
The Sunday before that, I went to Bronson and Cherie's (?) house to celebrate Grandma's and BJ's birthdays (I apologize for being inconsistent with apostrophes, but I don't know which use is correct), as well as BJ's engagement! Whooo!1! (of course that's old news by this point, but.....whatever). Analia (lo siento de la deletreado, no se como hacerlo) had gotten this awesome cake from a friend of hers. Pics:

Cake! movie themed: there are pictures of BJ on edible paper behind the marzipan film strips

The cake was wicked good: it was layered with I don't even know what but it was good. Some fruit something or other.

The happy (awesome) couple!

obligatory "awwwwww :)"

Kay, this was like the most amazing thing ever: there's this guy in the valley who is independently wealthy, and so decided to make his own chocolate. This stuff is so beyond good. It makes lindt taste like wax. Which it doesn't. So think on that.

Ok, those were some events. Now some other things. Pokemon Black and White launched in Europe today; they hit our shelves on Sunday. I wasn't going to get it. Then I spent (more procrastination) some time on their website and became convinced that I might possibly quite enjoy either black or white. Of course, with the whole out of a job thing, I've promised myself I won't get one until I have a new, reliable source of income under me. But it should be cool!
umm lessee: oh, one of my friends in the ward has set up his own minecraft server, and we spent some time playing on that. It's pretty cool.
I'm going to bed now. Expect another post from me tomorrow, or else make sure I do post tomorrow

so this is why the call it a web-log...

So, there's this thing that happened to me. It's called (and this is the scientific term for it (or so the doctors tell me)): Schwester-was-has-royally-messed-things-up-con-mi-Libro-De-Cara, or Kamarimasita for short. So, I have no working facebook right now, and don't really expect the all-powerful facebook team to fix it in the near future. Cool. Which means, I've had all these really cool and smart and funny things to tell people....but haven't been able to put them anywhere. Of course, as everyone knows, thoughts that don't get put anywhere gradually waste away in the brain, so I've got a municipal dump somewhere in my prefontal cortex. If this goes on for much longer, I won't be able to tell anyone when I get my mission call, and when I'll be opening it, which would just be annoying.
The moral of the above story was Don't Expect Great Things from Disadvantaged People.
So, Peter Pan (that one thing I was doing that one time) ended a while back (right after that one time) which leaves me with all this free time....that I quite quickly filled back up. Tuesdays and Thursdays, my class schedule is such that I am in the RB for my last class of the day, which makes it really quite easy to go to the gym with my roommates (easy for me. They still have to come across campus. But that's good for them. It'll build character). I've gone, oh, 4 times in the last two weeks....and I am quite surprised at what is happening to me. Mentally, at least, I've always kind of identified with the archetype of the skinny, quiet kid that most people pretty much ignores but turns out to be a super genius and saves the planet..well, at least I did until I started not being that person (which started in about 6th grade when I learned what the term 'love handles' meant). But enough reminiscing about my dark and lonely past. That's what biographers are for. The story I'm getting to is that I'm starting to build up some appreciable muscle, and it's a nice change. Yay.
The moral of the story above is that Looks can be Deceiving, so don't eat the special of the day.
With Peter Pan being over, I am able to focus on my classes, especially my TMA 123 class (fundamentals of acting), which was during Peter Pan (which meant I wasn't able to go to it). Turns out, it takes a lot of time; basically the only work we do in that class is scenes, but that work is compounded by the fact that the scenes are two-person scenes, and to do any appreciable work at all the two individuals involved in said scene must contrive a time and location at which to practice. So that takes a lot of my free time.
In all previous scenes, we were learning different, well, fundamentals of acting. These were objectives, tactics, physical obstacles, room conflicts, and secrets. With every new item appended to our learning, we were to create a scene and include all of the things we had learned thus far. However, come Wednesday, we were assigned scene partners and assigned a specific scene from a play. So that is what I am working on for that class; my scene is from a play called "Mary Mary." My character's name is Bob. So that's cool.
The moral of the above story is To Eat your Breakfast, because the Llamas only have Fruit Hats.
More coming.
