too funny

my three

3 joys
- being an aunty
- reading a good book
- being with family

3 fears
- rotten teeth. seriously i had a nightmare about that once
- losing a family member
- growing old alone

3 goals
- focus on school and sort out my life
- travel somewhere that is really foreign like in the eastern hemisphere, not including the pacific. even if it ends up being estonia or some random place that no else knows of, i don't care
- learn a new language


3 current obsessions/collections
- books, i read three over the weekend
- watching movies online because i can't afford the real thing
- uh, youtube

3 random surprising things you never knew about me
- i have a routine when i brush my teeth and once upon a time i used to count brush strokes. i was slightly ocd as a kid
- i am slightly afraid of fish and coral so i don't really like snorkeling
- i was scared of using that bathroom in the middle of the night because i thought the toilet sounded like a monster so would flush the toilet and run back to bed

thanks to nila, you now know a little more about me. and everyone that i would tag has already been tagged so oh well

A few new things

So I was brave today and i decided to let MJ cut my hair. Yes, I am not kidding, she cut my hair and I like it. I also have to mention that hair doesn't mean much to me because it always grows back, but I'm not trying to say it was a bad hair cut. I mean for a person who doesn't even know how to braid she did a good job. Thanks MJ! I also have a new favorite band called Wye Oak, and if you are interested you can check them out here.

yeah yeah

happy weekend to all those who have jobs!! i aspire to be like you someday. hopefully sooner rather than later because it's actually later now...

My chance discovery

I enjoy country music although it's not something I go out of my way to get, but when I happen to stumble upon a good song I am always happy. So as I was flipping channels one night I happened to hear this song on the GAC channel, and I fell in love. This is called "Please read the Letter" and it's by Allison Krauss and Robert Plant from Led Zepplin. Who knew that they could make good music together, and what better way to share it then on my blog. I really have nothing else to blog about...

I guess it is Utah

So I recently read the new novel by Stephenie Meyer (Twilight) "The Host." I wasn't planning on reading it but Nila told me to. So due to peer pressure coming all the way from San Antonio I went out on a hunt for this book.
But, before I went out on that wild goose chase I tried to get it for free from the library. The day it came out I went on to the online catalog that the Provo Library and found out that my position in the queue was 177 at the time. I thought that was crazy, but the craziest thing is that I went on again just out of curiosity tonight and the queue is now at 287, and they had to order new books! well it is utah after all, and it's provo too.
As for the book, I enjoyed it a lot. It's not for everyone, but I thought it was good. I still think that the Twilight series is much better though

a few songs from my playlist...

Since I have nothing else to blog about, I thought I might share a few songs that i absolutely love, and some discoveries-at least to me

This is one of my favorite songs from the movie Once. It's called "When your mind's made up". I love everything about this song.



This is one of my favorite Feist songs from her album Let it Die. It's called "Mushaboom"


I have always loved The Killers but I only recently heard this song. "Why do I keep counting?" is fast becoming one of my favorites from them.


Okay this last one is another from the film Once, it is my favorite song from it. It's called "Lies."

I'm sure their is an easier way to share with everyone, but oh well I'm bored. ENJOY!
