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!

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.
