Day 5--A thank you to someone who has changed your life

I couldn't single out just one person to write this to so it goes to all of my family & closest friends. You have all made an impact on my life in one way or another. So I just want to say thanks to all of you for standing by me and letting me know that I have your encouragment and support (even when I do something crazy or stupid :P).

Day 4--What you imagine paradise to be like

I would have to say that my paradise would be, physically, like where I am now. Mountains and lakes close by but it's also close enough to the plains that I can get a taste of the openness when I want it as well. But I would also imagine it to be a place where I was surrounded by family and friends. The people closest to me to share in my wonderful little world. ;) :D

Day 3--Five songs you would have with you on a desert island and why

This is gonna be a hard one....I don't really have a reason for most of them....it's just because I like them. :D

1. Pieces-Red: It's a great song with amazing lyrics and composition. Plus it's one song that just really mellows me out and I could listen to it over and over without getting sick of it. :D

2. The Truth-Staind: It's another mellow song but I'd have it mainly because of one line, "So when do you decide to embrace what you hate to survive 'cause that's not what got us here" For some reason I just love that line.

3. Breathe Into Me-Red: It's the one rock song that just gets me going.

4. Echo-Trapt: Plain and simple....it's just a good song.

5. Hurricane-30 Seconds to Mars: Because I'd have to have a 30 Seconds to Mars song if I was stuck on an island solo. :P

Alright well that's that....I'm sure I could list more....but those are the top five that came to my head. :D

*happy day*

I was thinking the other day that one day I'm going to look back on my life and wish I could "re-do" my twenties. You know how people always wish they could go back to high school, do it differently? Personally I would never go back to high school, I didn't like it while I was there, why would I want to do it again?! Aaaannnywaaaays....I've realized that I wouldn't "re-do" my twenties, even if I had the choice. Granted I'm only 23 and have 7 more years of what most people call "the time of your life", but I think I've finally learned that while it may be hard, tough, or downright brutal sometimes, it's worth it. I have some of the best people in my life. From family (who has to deal with my crap cuz they are bonded by blood...sorry fam ;)) to friends (who choose to deal with my crap because, well, apparently they care or something :P) I couldn't ask for better people to be surrounded by (okay....I'm not literally surrounded by them considering I'm 1000 miles away from a majority of both family and friends....no offense to the ones who are close in proximity to me :D).
It's been a surprisingly good last few days. Not really sure why. Even work was somewhat tolerable. :P 
I'm going to admit that I'm really wishing I was back in school now. Everyone else is headed back and I miss it. I've always been a nerd though and loved school. Granted I'm not the best student (obviously, since I've been out of high school for 5 years and have nothing to show from my 3 years of college except 23k in debt....) but I'm determined this time around to finish. And considering I have finally figured out what it is I want to go into, it should be easier....ok not easier...just....better. More focused. Man I really do want to go back. I've always loved going and buying new school stuff. From notebooks and pencils to clothes & backpacks. :D Good times good times. Yeah yeah, N-E-R-D. I get it.
          *Sidenote* I love how Wells Fargo tells you you have a wait time of one minute and you're on hold for half an hour...anyways.
I just wanted to get out the fact that it's been a good few days and that I'm in a good mood. :D Actually I'm pretty sure there was something else I was going to write about....but I forgot what it was....ah well....it happens.

Day 2--Something that inspires you

I would have to say that people inspire me or more so peoples' lack in confidence in me. When someone tells me I can't do something, or that they don't believe that I will go through with something....that inspires me. It pushes me to prove to them (and myself) that I can do whatever said thing is. I may not do it right away, and I may not do it well...but I will do it.

I guess that's more of a motivation thing....but it's inspiring at the same time in my mind.

Does wanting to prove myself to others mean that I really do care what other people think of me? I've always said that I don't care. Sure I want people to like me, (it's never a good thing to find out people don't like you or think you're angry or mean or rude) but just because I want to prove someones idea or perception of me wrong doesn't mean I care....does it? To my mind it's always about wanting (or needing) to prove to myself that what they see of me is incorrect. It's not for their benefit, it's for mine. For me. To know that I am a good, kind person. Hmmm.

♥ ♥ ♥ living in the mountains!

These are just some pics of the moon I got tonight. :D not the greatest quality but I love them, okay I love the first two...the last two are just kinda there.

Day 1--Guilty Pleasure

I'd have to say that I have two guilty pleasures. One would be purses. I love purses. :D I'm not one to spend all sorts of money on one just because I want it, but I do have a lot of them....and always want more. The second would actually be just driving around. I just go and drive around, alot. It's a complete waste of gas and time but I love it all the same.

it's late....can't sleep....this is what you get....

As you can see I have posted a....well Blogger calls it a "gadget"....on the left hand side of my blog. 30 days with a short topic to write about. I stole it from Sam, who got it from Tumblr...or Google search....don't really remember which....anyways.....I plan on using that as a reason to blog....for 30 days at least....however I probably won't start it until this weekend...just because I don't really feel like it. :P

I have also changed my background....obviously. I have been craving coffee like none other lately....so there's the reason behind that one....

I have officially become a resident of Utah as of today. I am now registered to vote, have lived here for 1 consecutive year, and have a UT driver's license. Lucky me. Now I get cheaper tuition. Which is the real reason why I registered to vote here in the first place. Don't judge. Politics and I do not get along. Period.

I'm actually mad tired but just can't sleep. My body is telling me to lay down and let sleep engulf me (yes, I used the word 'engulf'....i like it) but my mind is just racing. And it doesn't seem to be about anything in particular. Which is a problem for me. I can't really pin it down what is on my mind. A million and a half things I guess....*sigh*

Talkin to my big bro right now....it' always helps :) He's my fave.....not gonna lie.

Callin it quits. Possibly. Out.

recap

So far I have one loan deferred. Two more to go. Found an apartment that I would love to have but I doubt I'll get (can't afford to move right now and not sure I'd be able to afford it when I do anyways). Still looking for jobs in the SLC area....nothing yet. Last paycheck was a bit smaller than I thought it was going to be so once again I am delayed on applying to AI. *sigh* One of these days it'll happen. Talked to my big bro for a little bit the other day. Always a good thing. :) Currently reading Eat, Pray, Love. So far it's a very good book. I didn't know it was a memoir when I decided to read it and to be honest, those aren't my favorite. But it's interesting and insightful; I think everyone should read it just because. :) Once again I have decided I need to start exercising. I have no motivation whatsoever though.... ....makes it kind of tough. I keep telling myself to just start.... ....it's not working to well.... ....again, one of these days it'll happen. Leti & Damian came down for a visit last week and it was fun. A little tiring I'll admit (that boy wears me out) but it was nice to just chill. Went to AF canyon and took some pics and got to hang out with Mason. So it was good. I guess that about covers all that's been going on the past few weeks. Exciting....not. But I just keep pushin on and doin what I gotta do. That's life right?

rain!!

I just took some kinda neat rain/cloud pics....so I figured I would post them :D

hope you all like them! :D
