I want...

Yesterday we had a very different RS (Relief Society) Lesson at church. It was good, insightful, fun and all that. It was about preparing for the Golden Years. Pretty weird for a singles ward. But it was a really good lesson. I got me thinking about all the things I want to do in my life. I have also been preparing for the Miss AF pageant...and the Monologue I am doing gives voice to some of my fears.... there is a line in it that says..."The problem with marriage is that men want to give you the world, but it has to be the world they want to give you, and what of all the other worlds outside the window? I know I can't do everything but it is important to try!" And I believe that. I want to do so many things. I want to travel...all over! 

India is next on my list of places to go....

I also want to go to Cambodia, Romania, The Czech Republic, Russia, New Zealand, Italy, France, Brazil, Japan...All over. 

I want to take dance lessons, ballet. 

I want to learn to read music. 

I want to take voice lessons. 

I want to learn to play the cello. 

I want to learn American Sign Language...and become fluent. 

I want to learn how to ride a motorcycle. And drive it cross-country. 

I want to take a painting class. 

I want to take a pottery class. 

I want to learn to can.

I want to take cooking classes. 

I want to learn how to golf. 

I want to learn to ride a horse. 

I want to learn to fence. 

I want to learn to Box. I don't want to fight anyone, but I want to train and learn how to and have all the equipment. 

 

I want to take a Karate class. 

I want to do all of these things. I want to find a loving man that wants to do all of these things with me. I want a man that loves life as much as I do. That wants to explore and learn and experience. 

Most of all I want to fall madly deeply in love. 

Things that always make me happy

Yesterday I had a pretty crappy day...I ended up crying from stress and frustration. I needed some happy...the things I turn to when I am happy are...

Hugs


Like this.....

Or from a guy like this....

Something else that ALWAYS makes me happy....

Food. 

Like soup

Or

Pasta...angle hair. 

And some kind of sugary treat....Last night I went for one of these....

A starbucks Caramel Apple Cider...

But this really makes me happy too....

A molten chocolate cake... salivating. 

But the thing that makes me the most happy is when people care. When people actually care that I am feeling bad and want to make me feel better. Or when people see that I am having a hard day or am upset and help me with whatever I am doing or console me. That my friends is what makes me the most happy when I am having a bad day...

And yesterday I had a few people do that, my wonderful little sister...and my good friend. She call me right when I was at my breaking point and she gave me a good friend hug, she fed me and took me to get starbuck. That is happiness. That is what I needed. And I am very thankful to her! I am so blessed to have wonderful friends.

We need more people who care in this world. I think the world would be a truly wonderful place if people actually acknowledged that you were having a bad day and helped you out...I mean you don't need that every once and a while? We all have bad days. We need to be more caring, understanding and thoughtful. 

SYTYCD

So I love the TV show, So you think you can dance....I wish I could dance and I envy anyone who can. I love, love the power, the grace, the beauty, I just love every thing about dance. But I have a huge confession....I have the biggest crush on one of the contestants this season. I am absolutely in love with Jose. I would marry him in a heart-beat...if he first converted...and stopped wearing do-rags....and shaved off his little hit of a pedophile mustache...then I would marry him in a heart beat. He is just so cute. And yes I think he is attractive. He is super sweet and humble. But he could still kick any one's butt if needed. I like him.



So update on the Pageant....I submitted my resume and platform statement...and I have been working on my Portfolio all week...Still not quite done...but getting close! Exciting! The Pageant is July 31st 7 pm at AF High School. If you want tickets let me know!

Avatar: The Last Airbender

So Wednesday night...or really early Thursday morning I went and saw Avatar: The Last Airbender. I was super excited. I an a huge nerd, if you haven't figured that out yet; I have watched all of the Cartoons...and I am not ashamed to say that I love them. Ike got me, and the rest of the Fam, hooked. Anyway I as I was saying I was excited to see it, but a little weary. M. Night Shyamalan is NOT my favorite director, I mean who thought Lady is the Water was good? Or The Village. Or Signs? The only movie of his that I have liked was Unbreakable, but I think that was because it had Bruce Willis in it, and I just LOVE him....so any who....Another reason I was weary was the actors...mainly the actor that was going to be playing Sokka....the only other movie I have seen him in were the Twilight Movies...and you know how superb the acting is in those movies and he played Jasper...the stoic, awkward Cullen vampire...and Sokka is my Favorite. He is the comic relief.   He is the brains. So I was super worried about how his character would be.....So I get the tickets and I am there at 11 waiting in line with my Family and new friend Kevin....We finally get into the theater...the movie starts....there is a lot of cheering and yelling when it comes on. I get all giddy and happy. Then Katara says Sokka's name WRONG...she says it Sue-ka, Really? Cringe...cringe...cringe.....then Aang comes in...and they say his name wrong too! On-gg? For Reals? It is a double "A" and you get "On"? That doesn't even make sense....weren't you ever taught the rule...when two vowels go walking the first one does the talking?...except double O's....or something like that....I mean with books you have a little leeway on how to pronounce names...but a cartoon. No. They say the names, so how can you say them wrong if you have seen the cartoons? It was just stupid. It was like they hadn't even watched the cartoons. And I don't understand that. If you are going to produce a movie based on a cartoon shouldn't you at least know the cartoon? Watched it? You would think, you would really think that should be the case. And I was right to be weary about Sokka. He was horrible. Bad, bad, bad. *Sigh*

But there were good points too...it wasn't a total loss...the Affects were cool. And I loved Zuko and his Uncle. Love them. Love the actors in the first place. Loved how they got the characters spot on.

So if you want to watch the Avatar: The Last Airbender, watch the cartoon...all three books are on Netflix instant play. THEY are good.


If you want to read another review...I love this blog and agree with a lot of the reviews made on it....
