I realized I blatantly lied last night. I do get tired sometimes still. It's about the most obnoixious feeling I can think of. There's this class that I have in Salt Lake on Thursdays. I get a ride with Jason, this mellow kid that I converse with for about the first ten minutes of our ride. I feel this requires some explanation: it's not that we sit in awkward silence the remainder of the time; it's just that we both don't mind riding quietly. Anyway, that ride can make me extremely drowsy. I haven't actually nodded off before, but I've had to play this game where I pretend to be looking out the window at the beautiful scenery on the way to Salt Lake when my eyes are really closed. Today I got a little tired. I decided it happens when I think about the same thing for too long. Next trip I must activate the ADD part of my brain.
I decided BYU really is a bubble. If an outside comedian came to BYU, he wouldn't be funny. If a BYU comedian performed outside BYU, he wouldn't be funny.
People just don't understand things like ringchecks.
I decided I never mention things that make me happy. This makes me sad. This one time I decided to include some at the end of posts.
I was late to German today. This is mainly because I took about 15 minutes sitting trying to decide whether or not I should go to German.
Michael finally went to the doctor.
I have a dilemma. This one time I came home around a little before 4 and realized I had a post it note on my closet. I held it near my window for light and read, "7:30 pm Thurs. Home Teachers" with some decorative squiggles beneath it. Quite a problem, right? I haven't determined how to break it to my roommate. All I've been able to come up with so far is, "I'm sorry, Lacey, but I'm not going to be here at 7:30 when our hometeachers come. I'm going to be in the lobby watching TV." I think I'll ponder on the wording a bit more before I confront her.
"I'm your only friend I'm not your only friend but I'm a little glowing friend but really I'm not actually your friend but I am." I can't understand how people could find that confusing.
Ruthie and I are suppose to complete our statistics project today (the idea of which Ruthie conveniently thought of this morning). It consists of finding out if water balloons can hold more water if the temperature of the water varies. I hope we can complete this before my 7:30 appointment.
My song of choice today is brought to you by the Strokes: Between Love and Hate
Today:
Two person conversations can be amazing.

Take you away from that empty apartment
Apparently Hailey and Ruthie both have played "Bang!" before, and they both love it. They were both excited when (on separate occasions) they found it on my desk.
Oh! I am being so good today. I am already in pajamas with teeth brushed and everything. Score!
It snowed today! It made my hair all curly like it used to be in Georgia. It was so pretty and made me so happy. I had previously determined that I wasn't going to freak out when it snowed. I was going ignore it like it was normal - that way I wouldn't seem as much like a freshman. I prepped myself so many times in my head, but I must have forgotten. I think it caught me off guard is all. I had to call Hailey and tell her...and Ruthie. And David. I made him walk all the way to the Canon Center with me to visit/meet Carolyn. He's been really nice to me recently. I bought him chocolates and discovered "caramel steamers." It was a happy thing. As it happens, I might have spent almost half my weekly amount of money today.
I'm so excited about my spaghetti tomorrow - so stoked.
I only missed pschology today, and I'm only missing a stat lab tomorrow.
I think my roommates hate me. I try to just blend in with the wall most the time unless they seem like they want to talk - in which case I try to talk. But this one time I was showing Hailey my episodes of the Office in the kitchen with my little laptop, and they came and shut the door. This other time I was quietly listening to music in my room, and they came and shut that door, too. Maybe I should just close doors when I enter a room; I feel bad that they have to come and shut them for me. This one time somebody and opened the piano room door to tell me something, and they left it open. Then somebody else had to ask me if they could close it. I didn't have the heart to finish playing whatever song I was playing. I think I'll fix this and get in the habit of closing doors. I'll probably lock myself out a few times.
I decided there are always things to say; it's just a matter of whether they are worth saying.
I downloaded two new episodes of the Office. I have a problem. But Hailey is feeding my addiction. She's reimbursing me. My brother wouldn't stop talking about how amazing Heroes is. He practically gave away the whole plot. I had to ask him not to tell me the "message" that would "give away some of the plot." His roommate has all the episodes on his laptop. Maybe we can trade laptops for a night.
This one time I was dreaming that Jules, Michael, Carolyn, and I were playing some card game (original), and I thought Jules's mp3 player was playing "interesting" songs that had slightly wrong lyrics. Then I realized that I was awake, it was seven o'clock, and it was my roommate's rap song. Haha! Amazing.
Legends of the Fall soundtrack song It's really soft and of horrible quality. Sad day.

So nothing sounds quite right
I think I kind of broke one of my laptop speakers. It's a little raspy sometimes.
Oh, I am so stoked. I definitely found my shower gear under the sink today. I took an extra-long shower to celebrate. While I suppose I should be upset because now I have two razors, two face washes, and no food, I'm pleased with finding my old, better things (So now I have two toasters...). I am curious as to who the culprit is and what their motive was...
I definitely went to German today. It was scary, but, overall, it makes for a feel-good day. I celebrated with a fruit bowl for brunch.

I'm just a kid
So, everybody's too busy to hang out except for me. Yeah, that was a conscious exaggeration. But I'm allowed to pretend to be bitter, aren't I? Life - ugh.
I think I'll visit Bowen.
Incidently, I'm Just a Kid is a good song, too. It makes me laugh, I think.

Sitting in his nowhere land
I had forgotten how much I liked the Beatles - until today. I ripped a bunch of songs from my cds to my laptop. I now have accessibility to 51 of my favorite Beatles songs. I think I know the lyrics to them all, too. Wow. I blame this on long car rides with few cds.
I bought a game today. I've never played it, but everybody at the store kept saying it was fun - everybody being three separate whole people.
I finished Renae's scarf. I am pretty surprised and ecstatic that it's not messed up.
Today my brother accused me of being a little bit dark. I asked him why he thought that, but I'm not sure if I gave him time to respond before I searched for a second opinion.
Really pretty song of the day: Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley
Amazing songs overall: Pieces by Sum 41, Boston by Augustana
Currently addicted to: Death of an Interior Decorator by DCFC, Sleeping In by Postal Service, My Lack of Skill by Early November, Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, and way too many more...
This song makes me laugh...somehow: Lemon Tree by Fool's Garden
I type faster than Jim but slower than Pam.
Carolyn and Mike are supposed to get home sometime tonight/morning. I think I missed them more than I'd be willing to admit.
I think...I might be addicted to the office. I've finally found something that I don't mind spending money on. So far I've spent roughly $17.91. I think I'll buy another episode.

Unfortunate Circumstances
The creamery closed 3 minutes before I got there. I'm pretty hungry, but I don't have any food. I secretly stole a bagel from my roommate earlier today and was going to buy a new one when I shopped. Incidently, my brother, who has food, won't answer his phone.
Earlier I called David up and invited him over. He's five steps away. He said he'd come over in a few hours. I balked, but hardly. I simply repeated "A few hours?" and then added a disappointed "Alright."
I don't mind being alone except when I feel pathetic. Being stood up by your brother who lives across the street when you know he has nothing better to do than hang out with his one roommate that he sees all the time (who was also invited) is a pretty pathetic. Especially since he knew I had nothing better to do than invite my brother over. He won't even answer his phone. It makes me out to be so pathetic that I'd laugh, except that I'm hungry, so everything is a little less funny.

Black Friday
So, my brother informed me that today is "Black Friday." Apparently this means we shouldn't go to the mall today. I think I'll go tomorrow. I no longer care if there are crowds.
I've managed to scare myself twice in 12 hours. The first one was when I was visiting this site: http://www.dreams.ca/recall.htm . I was trying to find if there is anything else I could do to remember my dreams. This site wasn't helpful, but I had left it up in the background while listening to my itunes. At some point, my itunes hit a missing file and stopped playing. I was sitting in my room. alone. in the dark. and I heard some weird heavy breathing. I knew there was some logical explanation for it, but it still freaked me out as I sat and tried to figure it out.
Also, my speakers make an alerting buzzing noise when they are half plugged in with the volume up. I found this out while playing with the cord; it made me jump.
www.allofmp3.com/share.shtml?token=2042439025&lang=eng&group=9334&album=2&song=3 This song is so pretty.

It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
It took me forever to remember that my username was actually my email.
So, I'm a little bit more than a little creeped out. My roommates left all their shower gear here, presumably because they have their own shower stuff at home. But, mysteriously, all my shower stuff disappeared. I was going crazy when I realized that this happened. I thought maybe I had taken my stuff up to DT with me when I camped out, but then I realized that was absurd, and I'd never do that. So, I showered with somebody else's shampoo, conditioner, and soap. I had to buy new face wash and a new razor. I just wonder who would take exactly all my stuff. The worst part is, I think that's unrealistic; I think it's more likely that I'm crazy - that I put it all somewhere and honestly don't remember doing a thing with it. I was kind of dazed Friday night. This really creeps me out.
My thermastat didn't believe me when I said I wanted it to be 75. Maybe the kitchen is warm, but my room is so cold. Just to show it, I turned it up to 80.
I'm so frustrated. I've been meaning to download songs (mainly ones I left back home) forever; I finally got around to doing it, and I got this dumb error:
Ordering is temporarily disabled
We are sorry, but the ordering is currently disabled.
The site is undergoing scheduled maintenance. Please check back later.
Bummer! I'm remembering a bunch of songs I left on the computer at home...and of course ourtunes is useless with everybody gone for Thanksgiving break. Not that I'd ever download illegally, but if I were that desperate...
I think I should work on my list of things to do before I die more. I think I like it because it gives me a sense of fulfillment in doing tasks that would otherwise seem pointless; lists typically do this.
1. ride a horse bareback
2. draw water from a well
*3. fly an airplane
4. speak with a British accent for a day
5. hug a stranger
6. tye-dye something
7. learn to juggle
8. swim in a lake in winter
9. be handcuffed
*10. unwrap a starburst using mouth
11. ride in an helicopter
12. type on a manual typewriter
13. be in a snow fight
14. skateboard
15. make a paper crane
16. rappel head first ^^
17. smash a light bulb
18. play an organ
*19. bake half a cake
20. melt a penny
21. ride in a trunk
*22. eat ice cream from a cone
*23. get in a moving vehicle and
24. jump from a moving vehicle
25. be splashed by a passing vehicle driving through puddle
26. inhale helium
27. perfect a song on piano
I have a bunch of floating balloons here, but somehow I haven't gotten up the nerve to bust one out.
I think I'll wake up tomorrow and walk to University Mall. Maybe I'll be able to convince my brother to walk with, but I bet he'd rather chat with Kaitlyn. Lame.
Such Great Heights is about my favorite song at the moment. This one time over summer I had a dream when that song was stuck in my head, and I woke up thinking all about the lyrics.
Caring is Creepy and Gone for Good are two other Shins songs I like a lot. I have this live version of Gone for Good with which I fell in love.
I haven't been tired four nights in a row. It's amazing - I think.

So I named my blog Fred
"Name your blog."
So, it took me a long time to find a url that wasn't taken. I was pretty upset with all my rejected ideas. Apparently some people think the same things I do. This is scary. I plan to look up their blogs so as to find out more about myself; it will be a soul-searching experience. I must admit, I was a little disconcerted when "orangesherbet" and "lameduck" were both taken (even with hyphens); but when I started stealing bits of conversation for ideas, and I was still turned away, I really started to worry. I plan pay a special visit to "holysnap's" journal.
I don't know where I pulled "moldyquilt" from. I mean, I am sitting next to a quilt, but it's actually quite nice.
I chose the last template because I figured nobody ever does - especially since it's ugly.
I think I'm back on my usual sleeping schedule - excepting all the weird sleeping I've been doing. But I feel like if I sleep at all tonight, it'll be for about an hour, and afterwards I'll feel great.
I'm starting to think that I really do have something against my bed. I'm at Ruthie's. This is significant; I don't know why I came here. I did have my tiki-man pants; however, unlike Renae's place, there is no toothbrush for me here. I find this pretty sick, but since Ruthie is leaving for California around 5:30, and I figure I won't sleep until at least then, I think I'll survive. I do miss my toothbrush, though; I'm not going to lie.
It's weird. I've been feeling a lot like I used to back home. Probably because I realized that I'm still dependent on my parent's approval for some "important" things. I think I overlooked this with the whole Texas arrangement. This one time I knew the trip was beyond "not a good idea" in my parents opinion and that I normally wouldn't arrange to do such a thing - especially with me driving stick. But this same time, I wanted to be able to do something "stupid." I think I was made to think too responsibly sometimes. I also think I'm just immature for not handling that better. Live and learn.
My sister introduced me to the shins. I enjoy them. Right now I'm kind of on a postal service/snow patrol kick, though.
I remembered my dream last time I slept.
I hope we go to Einstein's in the morning. I miss bagels.
I ended a sentence with a preposition; Carolyn would be so proud of me for keeping it so long. I'll probably change it sooner than later. I'm trying not to think about it, but I'm obviously failing. It's a "from." I think it's at the start of the second paragraph.
I enjoy the tiny font. I hope it makes people squint. It's so cute when people squint. My dad's side of the family has squinty eyes when they smile. I got them, too, but it's not cute when I do it; it just makes my eyes disappear.
And, I have too much time to type
