What I learned today.

Today was a pretty fantastic day, except after school that was sort of lame.
Well I learned some new things today:
1: When you like someone your eyes subconsciously dilate. But I think I am the exception to this rule because my eyes dilate all the time! But me Katti and Allie tried it today on someone who will remain nameless, and it totally works! But note to any guys who could possibly reading this: don't be fooled by my dilating eyes.
2: Also when you like someone you subconsciously mimic their head gestures. Like if they tilt their head you will just automatically tilt your head. Quite interesting if you ask me.
3: In Afghanistan it is polite for men to kiss each other as a greeting. To us western people that sounds pretty strange, but for them it is totally normal.
--I get so fascinated by different cultures and different things they do to women, men or children. I find it so fascinating that even though we live on the same planet we can do totally different things that might be acceptable in one country and totally insulting in another. Goes to show how different everybody is in the world.
4: I sort of already knew this but eye contact can change the outcome of a conversation. For example, if you are in an argument with your mom, you should look her straight in the eyes and not loose focus, this will get her to listen to what you are saying and possibly makes you win the argument. On this topic I also learned in a country (I can't remember the name) it is disrespectful to make eye contact, it shows you think you re better than them.

So yeah, those were some of the few things I learned, but I also learned a lot more about body language I don't feel like typing. I am very happy because I think I tagged Jenny twice today (almost three but she said no tag backs right before I tried to tag her) I also got Jenna today. I am very happy. I also got my yearbook for this school year, I had to wait 2 hours to get it but I got it. Luckily I got a ticket that assured that I got a yearbook, but for some reason the lady wouldn't give one to my brother so he wasn't able to get one:/ But thats okay we are going to share it. I get the extra pages for people to sign and he gets the covers. Its a good plan to me.

Now I am home, blogging with my orange soda and my yearbook next to me. I wish someone would get on skype so I could video chat with them.

I can't wait for:
May 12, 2010: I am getting my hair-cut
May 13, 2010: McKenzie's real birthday.
May 14-15, 2010: YW over-nighter.
May 15, 2010: Jenna's little party
May 16, 2010: Jenna's birthday party

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mummies day Mom! You are one kick-butt mom(;
Well yesterday was fun, but hectic.
We first went to buy Angel for my moms present at chandler mall
Then went to my Wards baptism because me and Sydney had to sing a song.
Then we went over to the Baughs for lunch
Then we came back and got ready for McKenzies party
Then Mckenzie's friends came over and we went bowling.
It was pretty fun. I did really well the second round and Rory was very mad that I was beating him. (He hates when I beat him)
I took lots of pictures for McKenzie but most of them were a fail, so I will post a couple of them.

this first one, vi would never let me take a picture of her. this is at the very beginning of the party.

the second one is at the bowling alley. Vi still wouldnt take a picture. and thats mckenzies tongue, not her lip.

The last one is mckenzie blowing out her candles. she ended up with 5 boyfriends. I wonder who...

Life = Risk

If you want to be somebody in this world you have to take risks. Nothing will be handed to you on a silver platter. Risks make you who you want to be. Playing it safe doesn't cut it. Be spontaneous, risky, random. People like that are the people that we all look up to.

Blah Blah Blah

I have noticed recently how tired I am of school nowadays. For most people this would be normal, but it's not for me. You see, I usually love school and I am always happy for summer and stuff but I miss school. And I normally don't get tired or anxious for it to end. But this year its different. I cannot wait for school to be over, for some reason I feel like I have done what needed to be done. Blahh. On the plus side I will only be going through this misery for a few more weeks. I really can't wait for summer. I am going to make this one worth it. I know it will be. From concerts to pools to having picnics at the park, this summer will be just dandy.

Another point I would like to get to is that I am done. I am done with all this misery this situation has brought into my life. I am done, and I am not going to be the one trying anymore. Maybe this will be better in the long run. hopefully.

Katti, I don't know where I would be without you this year. Lunch is bomb.com with all our little adventures.










So, here is something for you all to think about for a little while.
"You should never hate anyone"
What do you think? Do you agree? Tell me why. Give me proof.

Inspiration

I think inspiration is one of the biggest aspects of my life. I don't know where I would be or what I would be doing without a little inspiration. In fact if you think about it, the whole world wouldn't even be the same.
So maybe for some people who need some inspiration I am going to post quotes and people that inspire me, and maybe they will have an affect on you too.

• E.J Richardson - Everything I have done, he influenced me to do.
• Rory Richardson - He makes me be strong and to believe in myself
• Audrey Hepburn - She cared and wanted to care
• Michelle Obama - With all the bad things going on in America she sure does shine a light
• Elle Degeneres - She has confidence like no one else. She can always put a smile on my face
• Valerie Poxleitner - Her lyrics to her songs are so easy to be inspired by
• Jackie Kennedy - She changed the way I look at the fashion world
• John F Kennedy - The greatest president. 
• Jenny Jensen - Has strong opinions and sticks to them and she isn't ashamed of herself
• P!NK (Alecia Moore) - She is the strongest girl, and has a lot of confidence

• Dr. Suess - Makes the world seem so happy even when its not.
• Wayne Gretzky - An amazing hockey player who deserves respect
• Gandhi! - everything about him is inspiring
• And more!

Last Night

I went to Rachel Bamrick's house for a little movie party with K.J, Jeff, Syd, Chandler and Becca. Well I gave in, I watched Avatar.
Jenny- I will say that it was better than I thought it would be
But that movie wad ENDLESS there were so many points during the film that would have made such a good ending! But noooo they had to continue on for 3 WHOLE HOURS! But on the plus side it had a pretty good story line going. The special effects were so unreal at first it bugged me but then as the movie went on, I got used to it and it was pretty cool.
Well me and Becca had fun making fun of K.J and Rachel who were being watched by Jeff.
hahaha AWKWARD.

On another note,
so much has been on my mind lately and I have really only been able to talk to a few people about them.

Jenny Jensen: Thanks for all the advice and just listening to me. I couldn't have made it through this week without you. And anytime you feel aggravated or lost. We will reverse that situation and I'll listen(:
Kayla and Kyra Ponkilla: I don't know what I would do without you two. You guys have helped me so much, thanks for all the advice.
Jenna Armenta and Katti Smith: thanks for being there to put a smile on my face!(:

Oh Boy

Not the best week BUT I went to the Ponkilla's with Jenna and Katti! It was so much fun until m mm decided she didn't want me to sleep over D: But thats alright because I had a blast for the time I was there.
