Happy Dear Diary Day... Or "Dear Blog Day". :)

Today, I had a dream about going on a date with a guy who I didn't really know. I don't remember him well enough to recognize him.. But I must have seen him somewhere in real life, if it's true that you only dream about people you've seen before... Anyway, it was a good dream. I went on a date with this guy, who I think was blonde, and I want to say his name was Michael because that name's been stuck in my brain for a while, not sure why... But I don't remember much about the guy. I do remember we went on a date. Then we were at his house and I left to change or something.. Then I was coming back to watch movies with  him and his friend, who I think also had a date. The main thing I remember about the dream, was that I really liked the guy, almost like he was "the one", and when I woke up I was depressed because it was such a good dream. That's the down side to good dreams... waking up. :P But yeah, I wanted to remember that. So I put it on the blog.

There's not much to tell... For anyone who doesn't know, I have a job at MediConnect... That's all I'm putting because anyone who reads this probably is already aware of that...

So, I don't know if I'm just super lonely or if I might have depression... But tonight has been hard, being home alone again for two nights in a row.. Tonight had more crying than last night... I don't see anyone but my family during the week, and even then I only see them an hour or so before work, and then at night, before they go to bed... I only see my friends on the weekend, when I'm lucky.. I like having a job and making money, but I really miss seeing people besides my coworkers.. I miss my friends.. a lot.. If you're reading this, you're probably one of the friends I've been missing.. Sigh... I don't know if anyone is reading this, but I'm not posting this so you'll feel sorry for me. I just need to let my feelings out and Twitter has a character limit. Hah.. I'm sorry if reading this upsets anyone. Just so you know.

You know how listening to certain music can affect your mood? Well right now it's making me want to cry a little.. But I don't have any tears left in me.. This is a very depressing post. I'm sorry.

On a lighter note, I was heating up nacho sauce and it sounded like something exploded.. So I'm going to make sure nothing did.

Hope this brightens at least one person's day.

TFR! (Thanks for reading)

Post-Mads

Hmm... What to talk about today... Well, one of my friends from high school, who was also in Madrigals with me, had his farewell talk last Sunday. His name is CJ Madsen. He's a great kid. He's really nice. He's also super talented but most people who know him already know this.. So, anyway. I went to his farewell with his future wife, Sam Boldrin. :) She's one of my good friends, who was also in Mads with me. She and CJ are pretty much going to be married in the temple, in the future, as most everyone who knows both of them already knows from being at school with them. ;) You'd understand if you went to school with those two. So cute. :) So, during sacrament meeting, CJ gave a wonderful talk and also sang a beautiful song. It made me cry, which happens a lot when I hear powerful and spiritual music. And also when I see sad movies, or hear sad songs, or my friends are leaving, or you know pretty much all the time. I cry a lot. :P Anyway, the point of this paragraph thingy is that CJ and Sam are adorable, CJ's leaving on his mission soon, and I'm a crybaby. By the way, CJ is going to Raleigh, North Carolina, if I remember correctly, Spanish speaking. I think he leaves like this week or next week... Very soon.. We'll miss him.

Last Friday, I think it was, aka last Saturday (it was like midnight or so), I was texting a good friend o' mine named Dylan Johnson. We met in high school, through choir/friends, I think. He was in Madrigals too. :) He was texting me over the weekend and asked if I was doing anything this week (next week at the time). I said "..not that I know of, why?". He responded and invited me to go up to Snowbird with his family for a day. They go up every year, he said. I was a little surprised, at first, when he asked me, because he and I didn't hang out very often, partly due to our confusing history.. but I love Dylan, and miss him due to school being out and not seeing him since like the last Madrigal gig, and I thought it would be fun to hang out with him again. So I said I'd love to. :) I asked him why he asked me and basically he said "I really wanna spend time with you..you're an amazing person. and you're fun to be with..". I would've said yes anyway, but that really sealed the deal. ;) I'm not sure when I'll be going up there, or how I'll be getting up there, but I'm excited to go up there. :)

Finally, before I go, I'll end with another Mad friend o' mine named Justin Cook. He and I have been best friends since around December of sophomore year. We have our friend-iversary on the 15th of each month. :) He and I are still friends. We still hang out together. Although, we've brought another girl into our mix. Her name is Maddie Cavanass. She is Justin's girlfriend and quite possibly his future fiance. ;) Those two are adorable. They started dating during choir tour of our senior year. That was a very interesting choir tour.. But anyway, us three have become best friends and have hung out together a lot. It's quite fun. We had game night at Maddie's recently, which was fun. I hope to see them again soon.

That's all for now. More later. Love you all!

I Kissed a Girl and I Liked It...

In  my dream last night.... I have weird dreams.. Last night, I dreamed that I was at like a party, with this girl, and for some reason we started making out.. And it wasn't til I woke up, that I realized I was making out with a girl. I don't think I've ever had a dream about kissing girls before last night.. So that was odd..

Anywho, I mostly just wanted to say that. So I don't know what else to say...

My friend Calvin is out camping right now, so he hasn't been talking to me, which has been kind of sad. But I still have my best friend, Halen, to talk to. :) Unfortunately, he's also busy and can't talk right now.. But hopefully he'll text me again soon. I miss those boys..

Cute Squall

Squall Leonheart

By the way, I finally came up with a name for Halen: Leon ("lion"). It came from a video game, sort of.. A character on Final Fantasy.. (8?), is named Squall Leonheart and he's a lot like Halen. Halen is also very protective, like a lion. But rather than use an animal name, I just switched the vowel. So it's Leon, but it sounds like lion. I think he likes it. :)

Well, I'm almost done with my Ramen now. So I'm gonna go. Have a great day!

So, last Saturday, was my 18th birthday. Crazy right? I know. It's weird. Now I can go to jail, and vote, and   stuff.. Weird.. Anywho, the day before my birthday, I went shopping with my mom for a birthday outfit. I had no idea what to get, or what I wanted, except that it had to be cute (duh). So I looked around and decided that I wanted a denim button down shirt dress, or a denim button down shirt with colored skinny jeans. I got both! :) This is what I modeled my outfit after. It's almost exactly the same, except I had a different necklace, and slightly different belt.

My bday outfit. Even did my hair the same way.

I like to do a birthday blog post and tell people what I got. Just for fun. And to help me remember for future reference. So, let's see... From my sister and her family, the Bartons, I received Grandma Sycamore's white bread (my favorite) and Goober's PB&J, which is peanut butter and jelly in one jar. DELICIOUS! I love it so. :) From my parents, I received the clothes I had picked out at the store and a new pair of TOMS, that were white and blue striped. I also received Season 1 and 2 of FRIENDS and a piggy bank.

From my brother and his family, the Faraghers, I received my old hoodie (so funny) and 3 GLEE CD's. My little sister, Sadee gave me a MLP (My Little Pony) coloring book. She also gave me a Disney/Pixar's Greatest Hits CD. I love it. My older sister, Heather gave me a notebook she made a cute cover for and she helped pick out my TOMS. I think that's it... That's all I can remember, anyway.

On a side note, can anyone tell what I was trying to make in the title of this post? It didn't really work.. but I'll be happy if someone guesses right. :)

Also, today is a wonderful day... Why, you might ask? Halen is coming home!!! He's been in Oregon for 2 weeks. I've missed him very much. I haven't been able to watch more than one episode of Doctor Who, the whole time he's been gone. It made me miss him more. However, I did happen to watch a ton of My Little Pony, which he loves, which also reminded me of him, but was a little easier to watch, because he never watched it with me. So now we'll have more to talk about! And hopefully we can hang out soon, so we can catch up on everything! I'm so excited!!

Me n Halen

Well, that's all for now. I think I might go back to bed. I am SO tired.. Have a safe trip home, Halen. Love you!

P.S. Thanks for reading my blog!

Today, I had a scary dream about someone I used to hang out with, but am not so fond of anymore, which was weird.. Anyway, in the dream I was with my mom walking somewhere down the street,with Adam O'Reilly, and he kept hurting himself in some way, as we were walking down the street. It kept freaking me and my mom out. And at one point, he was bleeding, and had a big stick/stump thing stuck in his ankle. Then my mom said we had to drive him to the hospital, but he kept acting like nothing was wrong. I woke up before we drove anywhere. But it was really weird, considering I haven't seen him since right before school got out, and at that time, he was asking to date me, and I said no, and it didn't go very well.. It ended with him walking home, and my three best friends showing up to save me, just after he left. Thank goodness for them.

Speaking of best friends, I haven't introduced one of my newest and greatest best friends. His name is Sceili. Well, his full name is Van Halen Scott Sceili. He's one of the greatest friends I've ever had. He's sweet, funny, protective, loving, caring, fun and just overall a great best friend.

Halen :)

A while ago, I was hanging out with this best friend o' mine and we watched movies and talked and stuff. We had very open conversations and he shared a lot with me.. Not many people do that with me, that quickly. So I was very surprised when he did. But I really enjoyed that day, and the conversations we had. I felt close to him, even before that day, just through our texting, I felt really close to him, like we'd been friends a long time ago...

Halen n Me

One thing Halen always says, is that he doesn't like kids.. But he looks so cute with them. I don't know how he could not like them. I think it's because he's an only child. He's never been with many little kids, and he's not a woman, so no motherly instinct. That's my guess. But some people just don't like kids too, I guess.. Who knows?

 This is Halen with some little kids, who I think he's related to, but they're not his siblings.. Cousins maybe.

One of my struggles with Halen, is that I can't think of a good nickname for him. He calls me Roo, which is awesome, but I can't think of a good one for him. My first try was Ruff, but that felt weird... and I've been trying out Vee, but that hasn't clicked yet either.. I had the perfect one, Bear, but other people call him that, and we wanted our own special names for each other. My family calls him VHS sometimes.. That's the only one I can really use so far. So it's been hard thinking of one that fits him.

VHS

Well, I'm hungry. So I'm gonna go find food. I will probably post again later. But before I go...

Halen, if you're reading this, please know that I love you and that you're an amazing friend. Thank you for being there for me and being such an amazing person. Have a great day. Have fun in Oregon, if you're still there, at the time. Be safe. Love, Roo.

P.S. Thanks for reading my blog. :)

Long time... No posting.. My bad. :P

I had a random thought today. I've only been to a school dance once with a guy that I really liked. All the other times, it was just a friend.. That's not really important.. But that's what I thought of.

My good friend, Bryson Chipman, is in training for the marines. He's in California right now. He gave me one of his hats to hold onto. So I took a few pictures of me wearing it to send to him. I'll be putting them in the letter I wrote but haven't sent, due to lack of printed pictures. :P Anyway, he seems to be doing fine. I read his letters on the blog about him that his sister is in charge of.

These are two of the pictures I will be sending to him.
Hopefully he enjoys them. :)


{I wonder why the pictures aren't even... Curious... Very suspicious... Not really, I just needed to fill this space. =] Hehehehe. :P}


Okay, so I only know of one person who reads this somewhat regularly.. Unless that other person reads it too... Anyway, here's a shout out to whoever is still reading this, even though I haven't posted in a long time. Thanks!

On another note, I had my last ever Madrigal gig recently. We went to the Homestead and sang for some school district people, (I can never remember their name..) which was pretty fun. I almost passed out, which was lame for me, but a nice lady brought me some pink punch-looking drink. The other Mads were jealous. She also brought me a roll, which wasn't too bad. The district people gave us candy bars too, which were yummy. They seem to like us. The Mads all went to dinner together at Red Robin afterwards. The food was great. The people were really nice. It was nice way to end our Madrigal season.

Last time I ever have to wear that. Now I can wear it whenever I want. :) Good times. Glad it's cute.

Dime For a Few Thoughts...?

Wow, it's 2012 now. That came fast. Well, nice knowing ya, now we're all gonna die. Just kidding. But a lot has happened this past year...

The longest relationship I've ever had ended. Justin and I broke up in February.

Then along came my dear friend, Calvin. :) But he also had to leave, in November.

Luckily, I'm still friends with both of these guys, because they're great. Right now, I am single. So, if there's any boys reading this... Take me on a date. ;) 

On another note, I am currently a senior and am nearly halfway through my senior year. It's crazy! Crazy Madrigal Christmas season is now over, which is sad but nice because I slept in a lot. I will miss dancing with Jace in our awesome suspender pajamas. He's great at waltzing, even though we almost never went a gig without bumping into someone because of the small space we had. I also stepped on his foot several times. I really hoped he didn't ever get hurt from me at our gigs.. But anyway, gigs were SO fun and amazing. I loved Christmas this year! It was the best ever, I think.

Random thought: Have you ever tried to talk with someone whether it be in person, or IM-ing, or texting, or a mixture of methods, and they just didn't seem to try to continue the conversation or ever reach out to you and try to talk to you? So you kind of just felt like giving up and not talking to them? I'm kind of getting there.

Another random thought: I've been looking for a good photo editing program. I've tried Picasa and befunky and I just downloaded PhotoScape, which is where the cool collages up there came from.

Before I forget, I've been thinking about some new year's resolutions, and one of them is to go on more dates with more guys. Going to LDS BC next year should help with that. :) Also, I'd like to read my scriptures more, go to the temple more, and get straight As at least once. We'll see how that goes.

Well, I am about 2 hours away from my iPod update finishing its download. I'm hoping the connection will be good and stay until it's done downloading.. I'm afraid to leave the computer though.. Either way, I can't think of anything else I want to say on this post. So, goodbye for now, and happy new year!
