Self Advertising

Hey gang. I've just uploaded a few of my more artsy vacation photos onto my deviantArt account. If you're interested you should take a look :)

deviantArt is a community for artists and art lovers alike to share their talents and reach out to each other. Essentially, it is a medium through which self expression can be achieved.

I've had my account for almost 2 years now and I am by no means an accomplished artist like some of the people I follow. But it's fun to upload some of my stuff on there and know that it is being seen rather than just getting dusty in my closet.

And I Just Can't Hide It

I have such exciting news that I've broken one of my own blogging rules just so I could tell you about it. I hate blogging before bed, but that is exactly what I'm doing.

Today was totally awesome. I went down to Great Falls to go shopping and we even hit up my favorite store of all time: ROSS. If you haven't been there, you haven't lived. Anyway, we got back into Lethbridge around 5:00 and we got to hangout with B&C who were visiting for the night. This was when I found out the very exciting news. . . B&C ARE ENGAGED!!!

I am so incredibly happy for them and I think it is so cool that I was there when they became really close friends. I was there when they started dating (I even blogged about them when they started dating). And now I can say I was there when they broke the news to their first group of friends. Everyone that was there was so happy and excited for them that I think it is certainly a sign that their enagagement is a good one.

B&C have vowed that they will still hang out with the gang once they are married. And I think they will make good on their promise because they never completely fell off the map when they started dating. They're even going to be going to be in my family ward once they're married! And I think that is so cool.

Awesome on Multiple Levels

I think I just had the amazingest weekend of my life. KTJ has had some major hate-on-boy issues this week and so me, McFLY and PS ended up at her house almost all weekend. Remember PS? I introduced him to you back in March.

If you can remember back to the time when me and PS had our little chat about Plausible (or if you've just read the blog) and you're wondering how things with Plausible have panned out, don't get too excited. Nothing happened. I think it's partly my fault because I just sort of let things die down between us. I texted him to hang out when I got home and he said he'd check his schedule and now, two weeks later I still haven't heard from him. Oh well, life moves on.

PS and I got pretty tight this weekend, but I learned my lesson with Plausible and so rather than keep quiet and make assumptions, I asked PS what exactly was going on between us. We're just friends. We have to be because he goes on his mission in less than three months. And I am fine with it; he's too short for me anyway.

My favorite part of this weekend was the new friendships made and the old ones grown closer. I got to see KTJ and McFLY go from being just two cool girls-who-happen-to-know-each-other to being really good friends. And I like to think that I helped make it happen!

Even though it has caused KTJ a lot of grief and unhappiness, I am so glad that she and the Stupid Boy have stopped hanging out. Otherwise, a weekend like this would not have happened.

I'm Lame

Sometimes it baffles me that I have any friends because I am such a dork.

Last night I dug up my journal from when I was 15 and I must say I am slightly embarrassed for myself back then. All I ever talked about was boys! And I didn't even hang out with any, I just admired from afar. Was I a creeper? Heck yes I was.

I had a crush on my seminary teacher's son back in grade 10, and looking back on the entries I wrote about him, I'm pretty sure he didn't even know I existed - or care for that matter. Yet, I knew almost everything about him, even where he lived. Like I said, I was such a creep! (the key word being was, I have changed since then)

Nowadays, I have lots of guy friends that I actually hang out with and don't fall in love with them because they have nice hair or something lame like that. I would defeinitely say that I have learned to control my emotions. And the novelty of boys has totally worn off.

But on Sunday, I got a hug from the love of my life. I actually think that we might, like, totally get married someday because we are obviously soul mates. I mean, a boy doesn't hug you unless he loves you, right? Right?? o.O

That Little Man with the Fro and Short-Shorts Stole My Moves!

Last night I went to a birfday party and I had lots of fun. Not that I'm bragging or anything... But I bet you didn't dance to a Richard Simmons workout video last night, did you?

I did. And surprisingly, I enjoyed myself. The birfday boy had used his birfday powers to make everyone participate, so I was not alone. At first I thought it was totally lame and prayed that no one was videoing me. But then I noticed that some of the dance moves we were doing are the same ones that I do. Birfday boy's mom even complimented me on my dance skillz - which I'm not so sure I should be proud of anymore...

But when you think about it, I'd never watched a Richard Simmons video until last night, so how could I have stolen lil Richie's dance moves? Therefore, the only conclusion that can be made is that he stole them from me! Furthermore, since he stole my moves and made tons of money off of them, I should get a cut of his profits.

Does anyone know a really good lawyer that I can borrow?

Consider the Lilies

I just uploaded some photos from my phone to my computer and I found one that I had to share with you.

This is a little girl I babysit named Lily. She's appeared on the blog before and I love her to bits and pieces.

I Got It From My Mama

Oh dear. I am a horrible, horrible daughter. My mother's birthday is today and I haven't gotten her anything!! And to make matters worse, Mother's Day is tomorrow and I don't have anything for that either! D= You may as well just give me the worst daughter of the year award and get it over with.

My mom is awesome. She is so calm and laid back compared to my dad - compared to most people actually. I guess that's why he married her. She balances out his Tongan temper. While my dad raised me and my brothers with an iron fist (I can't say the same for my sister), mom gave us the gentle guidance that allowed us to become more than just fearfully obedient followers. She is a humble and gracious woman and taught me how to be sensible, trustworthy, calm, patient, reliable, grateful, honest, understanding, and through her example taught me how to be a faithful member of the church. She has given me so much and has asked for so little in return. I don't know how I will ever repay her.

Maybe when she's older, I'll put her in the nicest old folk's home money can buy; as long as it's within my budget...
