My Uneventful Summer and Vampires

Well since I was retarded and posted these in backwards order, I shall blog in backwards order. On Friday my friend Tyson visited and took pictures of my fish. These are my favorite shots.








On Thursday, Michelle and Emilie and I went on campus and took pictures. We had a very good time, which I think you will be able to tell from the pictures.
So, I think Twilight vampires are awesome. They are sexy and have superpowers, what more could you want? No, I don't want Edward Cullen, his hair is out of control and he has huge eyebrows. And if I were to choose a fictional character to have a crush on, I would much rather have Mr. Darcy. Anyway, here is out Twilight shot, edited to make the background darker and us lighter.
And us as regular, boring mortals. Sigh.




I have the greatest face in that one.

Whose feet are whose? I dare you to guess.


In other news, Emilie and I found a cute house to live in. It's a little pricier than what we were hoping for, but at this point we were just lucky to have found it. It's a basement apartment and the people who live upstairs and very nice. They have triplet 2 year olds! Insane. But I think it will be great. Other than that, I really have nothing to report.

Earliest Memories

1. what’s your earliest memory? I remember standing in my crib crying at night. I expected my mom to come to help me, and she did, but she was wearing my dad's robe so I was confused. That's it.

2. who was your childhood friend? do you still see them? I think my first childhood friend, well aside from Carl who was my first friend, was Janae. I haven't talked to her in probably a decade.

3. what is your happiest memory? Oh, that is so hard to say. Hm. Maybe junior prom actually. It was the first time I felt like I acted like myself and was accepted for that. It was a really great night.

4. what is your saddest memory? Oh gosh. Um. Well, my earliest sad memory was when my grandpa died when I was 6. I was very very fond of him and was totally crushed. I cried harder than I ever had. And honestly, I am still sad to think I didn't get to grow up with my grandpa.

5. what was your worst punishment as a child? Oh, I was so well behaved that I never got punished. Just kidding. I did get grounded, and spanked a couple times.

6.what was your favourite toy as a child? My little pony! Her name was loveheart and she was turquoise and had pink hair and pink hearts on her flanks. She got lost when we moved here :(

7. what was your favourite book(s) as a child? Hm. I liked The Hungry Caterpillar, I Love You Forever, The books with the little mouse in them (who was my imaginary friend), and that's about all I remember.

8. what did you want to be when you grew up? A mom. Really. I think that was my only aspiration until I started playing the violin.

9. did you grow up with both parents? Sure did.

10. did you get along with your siblings? For the most part, Emilie and I did not get along well for quite some time though. I was very mean to her. And eventually she was mean back, and then we started ignoring each other, and now we are actually good sisters.

11. what was your favourite tv programme as a child? Probably Nature actually. Though I loved to watch whatever Carl watched, which I remember being Dark Wing Duck and Looney Tunes. And Pinkie and the Brain.

12. favourite holiday? Easter. Always was, always has been.

13. did you have any pets? Nope.

14. how did you have fun? Oh, playing cars with Carl, playing ponies with Jenae and Sarah, playing in big snow forts, going on nature walks, going to Cody Park and seeing the peacocks, cutting and gluing things, and just being at home with my family.

15. overall, was your childhood a happy one or a sad one? please explain….. It was happy. I loved my mom and dad and Carl, and Emilie too when she was born, though I didn't like her stealing the attention from me and I ignored her a lot I think. But by then I had friends I played with a lot anyway.

Summer!

Well I made it through the semester. It was kind of a scramble, but I did it. When school got out, I had fun in Ely visiting my grandma and my great aunt with my mom. We didn't really do anything real noteworthy, but it was a good time. Then we went to Las Vegas, and that was a lot of fun! We went down on Friday and went to the mall. We looked at dresses at Dillard's. One of the worker ladies was overly helpful so it took forever and we didn't buy the dress. Then we ate dinner at a great Mexican place, and then went to a Bridal store to try on more dresses. I found quite a few I liked and my mom bought me a pretty dark blue one. It will need alteration, but I am excited about it. Then we went back to the mall and to my favorite store where I spent quite a lot of money. After that we went home and started watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. But after an hour of not really understanding it and being weirded out and not seeing it picking up, we gave up and went to bed.

The next morning we got up pretty early. We went to the Bellagio to the atrium, which was very very fun. It was like being in a fairytale. I decided I could live there quite happily. Unfortunately, the batteries in my mom's camera died, so then we searched for batteries. We finally found them in a shop in Caesar's Palace that was called Essentials that carried mostly alcohol. Then we went to the forum shops. I had a blast at the Jimmy Choo store. Wow do they have nice stuff! I am surprised they actually let me touch things honestly. But the cheapest pair of shoes we found was $300 so we bought nothing. We went to other designer stores, including a couple jewelry stores for my mom. Then we went to my favorite store again and I spent more money (including an item that wasn't released yet in any other stores apparently). Then we went to the cheesecake factory. I had Jamacian black pepper shrimp. It was amazing! Wow. Then we went to Bath & Body works where I bought lip gloss and hand sanitizer.

We then left Caesar's Palace, went back to the Bellagio and to the Atrium so I could take pictures, and then saw the fountain show. I have pictures of all this but since I am fairly certain that everyone who reads this is on my facebook I don't see much point in posting them here. Anyway, then we went to yet another mall to look for clothes for my great aunt. Me and my mom tried on the red hat lady hats. Then we went home.

And this week I have just been being lazy. The end!
