Twilight Vs. True Blood

So I may have already told you, but I’m a True Blood fan. I can totally get down with the idea of vampires hooking up with humans, but only if they’re ACTUAL vampires. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Twilight does NOT have actual vampires or werewolves. Seriously, have you SEEN those movies or read those books? An actual vampire burns in the sun, they don’t sparkle, and they hunt humans, not deer. If vampires were reduced to hunting animals then they would be just as scary as my dad, which isn’t really that frightening. I’ve heard some people say that True Blood is just a remake of Twilight, and that irritates me. Twilight was released in 2005. The Southern Vampire Mysteries (AKA the books that the series is based off) was published in 2001. OH! Stick that in your juice box and suck it Stephanie Meyer!

Now, I’ll admit that I’ve read all the Twilight books and I’ve seen the first two movies. The books because I was younger and more stupid. The movies because my mother is a fan. It’s actually rather comical. When she doesn’t get mad about me not wanting to watch the movies with her.

Anyway, I know I’m probably the last person in the world to make this blog post, but I felt like I needed to, mostly because my mom decided to ramble about Twilight. If she wants me to go see the last Twilight movie with her, I’ll go just so she doesn’t yell at me about not going again, but I’ll wear a shirt saying Team Jessica and Hoyt! They’re the best vampire and human couple in the history of the world. They kick Bella and Edward butt! I guess you have to know the show though. Anyway, that’s my two cents.

And...ACTION!

I may offend some Coheed and Cambria fans, but I don’t care. I’ve been listening to them for a while now. My favorite song by them is A Favor House Atlantic. Anyway, until today, I thought their lead singer was a girl…and it turns out I was wrong. I was very surprised myself, but I guess some guys sound like chicks like some chicks sound like guys.

My niece was born three days ago! She is so frickin’ cute you have no idea! She has his head coated in this silky adorable hair and these tiny little fingers that can keep your finger right where she wants it, even when she’s sound asleep. Her name is Scarlett. I can’t wait to meet my other baby niece, Chloe. She’s about two month old right now. My mom says she’s a very sweet baby, so I can trust that she is. I’ll be meeting her around Christmas though so it’s not that far away.

Right now…it kinda sucks. I never really had a plethora of friends, but lately if feels like all of my friends are forever away. Monika is busy with school, which I understand. Education comes before social life. That’s just the way it is. Liz lives in Texas so I can’t hang out with her, and even if I could she’d be in school too. It feels like the rest of my ‘friends’ have stopped talking to me since Dylyn and I broke up. It’s clear that he got all the mutual friends in the split. Seriously, I’ve tried talking to them, but they don’t talk back. I guess they’re just the friends I never had.

I’m looking for a new job. It isn’t because McDonald’s has terrible uniforms, it’s because it’s becoming ridiculous. I literally worked one day this week. No joke. ONE day! And I’ve been working there for about a month, give or take. I still haven’t gotten a pay check. I mean, come on, what’s the deal? I work just like everyone else. I take orders, I make fries, I do the window, but it seems that I’m the only one who hasn’t gotten paid yet. I’m hoping I get a job at one of the many book stores I’ve applied to. Wish me luck. Or pray for me. That would be even better. However, if you don’t really do that then the wish of luck will be more than enough.

A Day At The Fair With Monika!

So my plan was to record my day at the fair totally on video, but that didn't happen. My mom offered to let me use her camera, which was great because hers is a 12 mega pixel and I think mine is 9. something, but my mom's batteries died after only ONE video, and by then we weren't going back home to get new batteries. The only photos I got were on my phone, but it worked out ok. The only video I got was of this horse we saw in the parking lot who had his front legs in the water barrel thing and was splashing himself. I haven't ever seen that before. Anyway, without further ado! The only video I captured.




It's very exciting isn't it? Don't worry. I was still determined to document the day, even if it needed to be through photos.

The first familiar face we saw was Spongebob. With Monika and I being the crazy fans that we are, we were extremely excited to see him.


He was joined by an alien.















After we left Spongebob and our blue E.T. friend, we ventured to the animals. Monika was a bit disgusted upon seeing some of the adorable animals excreting the bodily fluids. However, amid the feces and urine, we saw some adorable animals and some that made us giggle because they were so fat or creepy! The first animals we visted were the birds.

I thought this pigeon was funny. He was staring at everyone and seemed a bit full of himself. I would name him....Roberto.


Now THIS bird is just weird. Its eye is pretty much the size of its face! I said it looked like a gremlin. Monika said it looked like an ewok. Either way, it was different.


After the birds, it was onto the bunnies!!


And after the bunnies we went to see the rest of the animals. You know, pigs and sheep and cows. The works. This sheep was SO frickin' big! Seriously, this thing was bigger than me! I don't think Monika had ever pet a sheep before because she was so suprised that their coat was like a memory foam matteress.

Then it was onto the cows! First we visited the dairy cows and their babies, who were in the process of being groomed. It was when we got to the more stocky cows that things got interesting. I really don't think Monika has spent much time around barnyard animals because she was always so suprised and grossed out that they just peed where they were standing. The first thing we saw when we went into the second cow house was a frickin' huge brown cow taking a leak. We went through the rest of the place, commenting on how cute some of them were when we noticed a baby cow with his head on his back. We had no idea what it was doing, but we eventually noticed that the cow was staring at a guy who was sound asleep in the hay.

Once we had seen all the animals, we decided to go into the photography area above one of the three markets, all of which we had combed through by the end of the day. Since our funds were low, we didn't really buy anything, but we had fun 'window' shopping and trying random things on.



However, we needed to buy SOMETHING. Because of this, we decided to buy matching jewelry. Originally it was going to be rings, but the only rings we could find in our price range had the annoying split thing on the bottom and I discovered that I'm not the only one who loathes those things. Because of this, we ended up getting some epic bracelets.

After getting our bracelets, we started to wander around some more until we found a duckpond! I've been going to the fair since before I can remember and I had no idea there was a duck pond! We hung out there and just looked at the ducks. However, none of them we coming close enough for use to hang out with them so we started to feed them. Monika was afraid we were going to kill them because all she had to feed them was walnuts. I was feeding them applesauce. I put it in my plastic spoon and catapulted it into the water. Everything was great and fun until...we were attacked. It was so peaceful when they suddenly materialized from out of nowhere. They were...evil. Naturally, at the sight of them, we freaked out. I had my legs hanging over the side of the cement stage thing we were on. I'll be honest, I screamed like a girl and I was far from the edge in a second. They came in a swarm out of no where and they wanted our food, which we probably would have given to them were we not attacked. Since it was such an event in the day, I faced my fears and captured a photo of our attackers for my blog. You'll clearly see them keeping the ducks at bay. The demon geese.

Once we were safe from the evil geese, we decided to wander and look around again. We found many interesting things. There was a brass windmill, which was epic, and a frog vomiting a sponge.


Then, it was time to find something to do for free, and we did it alright. We didn't get much for free, but we had fun earning it. We got an emergency first aid kit and whistles that we used at the rodeo.

After that it was time to hit the rodeo. Considering it was dark I didn't take pictures of the rodeo because I knew for a fact they wouldn't turn out. But I did get a picture of the guy skydiving with the flag and the sasquatch.


After the rodeo we ended the night on a high note. It's tradition for my familiy and i to go down the big yellow slide. Monika won. After that, we went home, watching How To Train Your Dragon on the way down. We already have plans for next year. Only next year...we're bringing more money. Who knows, maybe I'll even drag Monika onto more rides that the big yellow slide. Either way, I consider this year's trip to the fair a success.

Better To Have Loved...

So ya know how in my first post I said that I was dating a guy? Well, that statement isn’t true anymore. Because of this, I have decided that it would be a good idea to keep myself busy. So I’m writing this to vent a little bit and keep myself busy.

We broke up literally half an hour ago. I was surprised. I was expecting it to be this big fight, but it was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. Dylyn and I agreed to still be friends, which I think will be good. Who knows, maybe with some time we might get back together, but until then, that’s pretty much it. It’s one of those bittersweet things. Kinda like me going back to school. I’m excited for it, but at the same time I’m terrified about it, which is probably pointless, but that’s the only thing I can compare it to. I’m sad that we’ve broken up, but at the same time I’m happy we’re still friends and in the long run, if it’s supposed to happen, we might get back together. I just have to get over the bitter part of it.

Even though the break up was mutual, it still sucked like a vampire. This may sound awful, but I’ve already put away all the stuff he’s given to me. His weird arrow drawings, the dried roses from Valentine’s Day, and even the teddy bear his gave me that I’ve slept with every night since he gave it to me. The drawing used to be on my corkboard, but now it’s been replaced by my diploma, something I have to prove that I can do whatever I put my mind to. Caramel, the teddy bear he gave me, has been replaced by my first Build-A-Bear, who I named Brooklyn because I was going through a Newsies obsession at the time. I know replacing the things may be weird, but I can’t just have them laying around where I can see them. The point of a break up is to stop constantly thinking about someone and I can’t do that with reminders scattered across my room. And the things I’ve replaced them with are mine. Were it a brutal break up then I probably would have just gotten rid of the things, but I don’t want to erase our relationship. We didn’t end on bad terms, we’re still friends. It’s not like my last one. In my last relationship the only things I was given was a hat and a blue jacket. After we were officially over, I burned them, and I enjoyed it. My mother called me immature. I think we all have a right to be immature sometimes. If we didn’t then everyone would be out of their rights and that’s just wrong.

Anyway, that's really all I have to say. I don't feel much like writing right now.

Killing Time

It’s been a bit since I put a new blog up and I have time to kill before I jump into my hideous uniform and head off for work so I decided that it was time to say hello to my follower, even though I could totally just call you and let you know that I wanted a smoothie and wanted to die in a cool way, like in a fight with a giant squid or being eaten by a shark.

Speaking of giant squids, did you know that they have the biggest eyeball out of all the animals in the world? Yeah, it’s true. Their eyes are like ten inches in diameter. That’s diameter! Seriously, that thing’s eye is like the size of my head!

So I had an eventful labor day weekend. I had to be at home in the mornings, but in the evenings I went up the canyon to spend some time with my family. It was very cool. At one point I took my dog for a hike because everyone was either talking about guy things or women things, which to a point, both drive me a little bonkers. At least they weren’t talking politics though. I HATE politics. At this point you need to choose the lesser of two evils because it would seem that morals have become something that the world has come to lack. Anyway, enough about my loathing for politics. My dog and I took a hike up this trail called Deer River trail or something weird like that. Anyway, we’re climbing up the trail, dashing through the brush like a bunch of weirdoes when suddenly, the bushes to the left started freaking out. My first thought was ‘Oh crap, it’s a bear. We’re gunna die.’ but then I realized that if it were a bear then it probably wouldn’t have moved so fast, because that thing was getting away. I really don’t know what it was, but I’m pretty sure it was a deer.

If you’re wondering about my uniform troubles, not much has changed. I still look pretty unattractive in it, but as my mother so kindly pointed out, I’m there to work, not to look cute. I just don’t see why I can’t have both. However, I have been bringing a set of clothes to change into after work. It’s worked out pretty well actually. I have to iron my shirt whenever I need to wear it, but I would honestly rather do that then walk home in it. It’s hot and if I can get away with wearing shorts, a tee, and flip flops I’m gunna do it.

So I’ve told you about how my cat thinks that my computer is his bed. Now, my dog thinks it’s her pillow. I was sitting there typing away last night and she kept putting her head under my hands and messing it all up. Now it’s kinda funny, but then it was like, really? I wonder what my bird would have thought of the computer. She died a little while back. It was very sad. She was a very special bird. She absolutely loathed phones. If she was out and crawled on your shoulder while you were on the phone she would freak out at it bite the crap out of it and if you got in her way she’d do the same to you.

Anhyway, that’s all for now. I’m going to the fair on Sunday. One of my fiends is for sure coming with me so I’ll be sure to take a bunch of pictures and tell you all about it. Until then, I guess.
