Thursday List!!

Alright boyz and gurlz! got my list for yous.

My loves!!!

1. Snow- I LOVE SNOW!! Snow makes me feel like I'm back home in PA.
2. this email will sum up #2.

Once a Pennsylvanian, ALWAYS a Pennsylvanian!
About Pennsylvanians:
You've never referred to Philadelphia as anything
but 'Philly' and New Jersey has always been ' Jersey '
You refer to Pennsylvania as 'PA' (pronounced Pee-ay). How many other states do that?
'You guys' is a perfectly acceptable reference to
a group of men and women
You know how to respond to the question 'Djeetyet?'
(Did you eat yet?)
You learned to pronounce Bryn Mawr, Wilkes-Barre ,
Schuylkill, the Pocono's, Tamaqua, Tunkannock, Bala
Cynwyd, Duquesne and Monongahela.
And we know Lancaster is pronounced Lank aster,
not Lan kaster.
You know what a 'Mummer' is, and are disappointed
if you can't catch at least highlights of the parade.
You know what 'Punxsutawney Phil' is, and what it means if he sees his shadow.
The first day of buck and the first day of doe season are school holidays.
At least five people on your block have electric 'candles' in all or most of their windows all year long.
You know what a 'State Store' is, and your out-of-state friends find it incredulous that you can't purchase liquor at the mini-mart.
Words like 'hoagie,' 'crick,' 'chipped ham,' 'dippy eggs',
'sticky buns,' 'shoo-fly pie,' 'lemon sponge pie', pierogies' and 'pocketbook' actually mean something to you.
That's PA slang for purse!
You can eat cold pizza (even for breakfast) and know
others who do the same. Those from NY find this 'barbaric.'
You not only have heard of Birch Beer, but you know it comes in several colors.
You know the difference between a cheese steak and
a pizza steak sandwich, and know that you can't get a really good one outside PA,
except Atlantic City on the boardwalk.
You live for summer, when street and county fairs
signal the beginning of funnel cake season.
You know that Blue Ball, Intercourse, Paradise , Climax, Bird-in-Hand, Beaver, Moon, Virginville, Mars, and Slippery Rock are PA towns. (and the first three were consecutive stops on the Reading RR).
You know what a township, borough, and commonwealth is.
You can identify drivers from New York , New Jersey , Maryland or other neighboring states by their unique and irritating driving habits.
A traffic jam is 10 cars waiting to pass a horse-drawn carriage on the highway in Lancaster County.
You know several people who have hit deer more than once.
You carry jumper cables in your car and your female passengers know how to use them.
Driving is always better in winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
As a kid you built snow forts and leaf piles that were taller than you were.
You know beer doesn't grow in a garden but you know where to find a beer garden.
You also know someone who lives 'down the lane'.
You actually understand all this and send it on to other Pennsylvanians or former Pennsylvanians!
YEAH! THAT'S 'PA' AND WE LOVE IT
And send it to people that never lived in PA and confuse Them Because Nice Matters

(If you really didn't get all of that from the paragraph above, then come and see me.. cause seriously, you gotta work on reading comp. skills)

3. POWERADE!!!
4 MY ITOUCH!!
5. GUMMY FROGS!
6. BOSTON!!!
7. JOURNEY!! (I grew up in an 80s music house... the flame of ROCK is still burning..)
8. TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE SCORE!!! cello solos in that are amazing,especially track 12, arrival to earth (just listen to the preview on itunes..)
9. MUSIC IN GENERAL- the world should just be music. everything in this world, every emotion and phrase and meaning ever possible can be described by a well written song. I am always tapping a rythmn or song. I can't imagine a world without music.
10. cello- i am in love with my cello. think of Eragon the book. dragon and rider. they are connected to each other. i don't know what I would do if I lost my cello. i would probably feel empty for the rest of my life.
(Gosh I feel like I'm almost on the verge of pouring out my soul. But trust me, you'll know when I do. it'll be way deeper, and WAY longer.

7 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!!!! YAY!!!

Friday Night.. bummer...

So this last friday night went like this:
1. I got home from school and practiced cello from the time I got home until about 5:30.
2. I then had to go to a Ward Christmas Party I was torn about attending.
3. The Reason I wanted to stay home was because I had to play a piece during the Program on my cello. ( Probably the worst place to play. In a concert, about one twelths of the people there know who you are, and about one twelvths of that group know you personally. In your ward, everyone and I repeat EVERYONE knows you personally. So if you mess up, EVERYONE KNOWS!)
4. the reason that I wanted to go is that the person (otherwise referred to as third party) that I like and really wanted to see, had a chance of showing up.
5. said person then did not show up, and I was followed around by several nerds, (Not Brian).
6. I still had to play in the program, and because several people canceled, besides the primary, I WAS THE PROGRAM!
7. I had an opportunity to go see twilight.(AND I NEVER READ THE BOOK)Thinking that since third party was not there, and my closest homies were unable to hit the town, I took the oppurtunity. what a mistake. I went to see a chick flick without a date. muy grande problemo. I wish I had my itouch, because everytime I looked at the screen I got bored, and everytime that I looked over, the couple that was next to me (and also in the group I went with) was making out, and I was quite disturbed.

So I'm waiting till I'm 16 and I have a date to see another movie like that.

Tis the Season

Seeing as it is the season of snow, I thought I should give you a little taste of what Snowmen will be like this year in our yard. Calvin and Hobbes are my inspiration, and they are a classic.
Enjoy!

25 days till christmas!!

Yay!!! Vientecinco dias hasta Navidad! (for all of you nonbiligual pupils, 25 days until christmas!) so, I made a christmas list.
1...



Ok. So I really don't know what to ask for this year. I wanted an itouch, but I just bought one.My mom keeps getting frustrated with me because I won't give her an answer. I just am very content right now. (Well, as content as adults. there are many things I would love to have ig. An enduro motorcycle, a lamborgini Embalago, a girlfriend. But I realize that, as the prophets say, this shall not come to pass, lest I smite ye with a curse. And, if all of these things happened, life would be fair, and lets face it, is that gonna happen?)So as far as Gifts are concerned (If I get any) I can't get any of the presents that I REALLY WANT this year.

so here is a more realistic list. (Please feel free to give me multiples of each thing on this list.)

1. Gummi Frogs- Haribro 5 lbs bag
2.Moolah/Dinero/Bank/Green/Benjamins/Clams/Smackers/Greenbacks/Loot/Dough/Cold Hard Cash- Gotta save for a mission, a house, School, my motor vehicles, kids, retirement...
3. Powerade, either mix or bottled
4. Itunes gift card- got apps?
5. mint chocolate chip cookies
6. Coldstones Ice Cream
7. some computer game

Thanksgiving

Yeah, I know I normally put a list up, but it's thanksgiving. you should spend it with ya family. so go eat some pie!

Thursday List #3

Alright blog stalkers, (if there are any left, no one ever comments, :^[ ) so here is the thursday list. yep.

My weaknesses

1. powerade- yeah i know, kinda weird, but there is just something about a drink that is like weak sauce gatorade.
2. Haribro gummy frogs- yeah, but I like almost any gummy candy. heres a little something for all of you looking. I am easily suckered into babysitting for a bottle of fruit punch powerade, and a package of gummy frogs. Yep. that's gonna bite me in the butt.

A short list, but still a list. there are other weaknesses, but if I reveal them, I would blow my cover as a secret ninja operative...

You think you're stupid?

If you think you have ______ moments, they are really Carson moments. Let me tell ya. I LOCKED MYSELF IN THE FOOD STORAGE, AND THE DOOR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A LOCK! I know! Seriously. So here is the story.
Yesterday, after my mom got home with the groceries, She was feeling sick, so she asked me to put them away. No hassle. I got a system. It works, until someone else puts food away, then it gets all messed up. ANYWAY, the canned foods are always last. So I go downstairs and I am putting them in, and I was playing with a Bungee cord. I put it across from where the bolt should be to the opposite wall (don't tell me what a dumb nincompoop I am. I was working on an ingenious auto door closer) So I walked in. My idea worked, and even when the door was left open, the door would automatically close. so I put away the cans like normal. But what I hadn't realized is that I pushed it so far that the door closed all they way (It was a prototype) and the very edge (The metal hook) had latched to the edge of the door. My experiment proved to be a disaster. It then became a lock. And guess who was on the other side of the door? No one!!! They all thought that when I was yelling for help, I was just trying to play a joke. I was in there for 15 minutes before my baby sister, bless her soul, went and got Nathan. He thought I was joking even when he saw it, so he didn't believe me at first. But, eventually he let me out.

So ya. And the moral of the story is, If you are going to test an experiment, do it on a sibling.

My unpleasantries

Here of the negative things that have happened to me in the last ten minutes.
1. I've had 10+ stomach pangs, because I'm getting over the stomach bug
2. I ACCIDENTALLY broke one of our kitchen chairs. I don't ever remember hearing a creak, or anything. seriously mom, It was not on purpose. (I think one of the stomach pangs was from realizing that I did #1)
3. I choked on my gatorade, getting it all over the table and my white t shirt.
4. I poked myself in the eye with a pencil
5. I stubbed my toe on the door frame
6 I dropped my ipod three times coming up the stairs.
GGGGRRRR!!!! AHHH!!!!
I hate being a teenager. You either think everything is going wrong, or you're completely clueless and everything really is going wrong.

late at night....

Thursday List #2

Alright my homies. got me a list for yous to listen to.
Here it is.

My favorite hobbies.

1. Rock climbing/Ice climbing/Rapelling- yah, Livin on the edge. Literally. But it is so fun. There is just this thing with men and dangerous sports, and hobbies, and vehicles...
2. Rugby- Well... I don't play yet, but I'm well on my way. I will hopefully start next spring, on United in Alpine. Once again, men and dangerous sports. I don't know why...
3. Music- Yeah. After all that "dangerous sports stuff" and i'm plaing the bass and cello and piano. well, I like to have a "varied lifestyle", so as not to get obsessed with anything. Yeah. like that worked.
4. My kayak- Well, it's been awhile, but there is just something about being alone. on the water. I think I'll go sit in my garage in my kayak dry. Uh huh. Oh yeah.

Thanks. Any questions, comments, concerns, donations (seriously...) just leave a comment.

One of the coolest things ever!!!

Ok. So... My amazing sexy beast friend (Well almost. not as close as me) has been talking about this thing on youtube almost since it's been created. He said it was something like a star wars parody. but it is actually a john williams acapella tribute. yah. it's pretty freakin amazing. all by the same guy, and amazing intune. (I have an ear for intonation. Comes with being a string player. I can only listen to the beach boys a few times every so often. there slightly off harmony drives me insane.) so yah. ENJOY!!!



ya mom. beat ya to it.

My List #1

This is my list. I'm gonna try to do this every week from now on. So Yeah. It is there, it is fantastic, it is supreme. Enjoy!
Things that irk me:
1. Useless people- people who stand around and do nothing. Their only contribution to the world is refining the art of picking your nose. (There's gold in them thar hills!)
2. Someone who excuses there unexcusable behavior on a bad day- guess what buddy? someone elses day is worse. They could have accidentally burnt themselves with a curling iron and driven their car off a cliff accidentally. And then while she is in the hospital in intensive care, someone tells her an elephant the size of china just landed on her house, and that her one of her goldfish went all Freddy Krueger on the others. Yeah. It could be worse.
3. People who I have told over and over that they should not touch me- yeah. seriously. people actually do that. weird huh? only got one thing to say. Click below.

That's it. This is my list. I'll post another one sometime next week.

The Bane of My Previous Saturday Afternoon...

Ok. So I get home from work, on a Saturday afternoon, and my dad is out back cuttin' down our apple tree. (About time too. the apples drop off the tree and rot. Never ever get ripe and a pain in the behind to clean up.) And I get my clothes on to start to chop it all up. All I had on was a white t-shirt and a pair of jeans. I went outside, and got there in time to help my dad pull down the last limb. Now when I say I, I mean my mother and I, pulled down the tree. Yes, I pulled down the branch. With all of my manly strength.
Anyway, so we pulled the tree branch down. So then we started cutting it up. Here is the branch. (Pictured below)

There was a log on the ground, and being the strong-beastly-manly-man that I thought "Why not pick this log up and flex my non-existent muscles for the non-existent ladies?" So I bent over, in the process of picking this log up. Wearing only a white t-shirt, My lowerback showed. Now, at the exact same moment, my younger brother stepped onto the pile of tangled branches about 6 ft. away. The tangled pile sagged, and shot up, right into my behind. Now, for those of you who have ever had anything similar to this to happen, it hurts like a mother. A bunch of sticks with protruding stubbs will scrape your back up. As anybody would be, I was extrememly angry at this branch. so I went all Freddy Krueger on it and these are the results:


Oh yeah. The power of the chainsaw. and my... beefy arms.

my mood

Well, since I have many different moods, I thought I should tell everyone what each one is like. Here is a situation and 6 responses each from a different mood. here is the situation:"Barrack Obama just became president. How do you feel?"

Careless:"Bah!! I'm moving to Canada!"

Angry:"Oh my gosh!! I need to go punch something and break several bones in the process!!"

Ignorant:"Well it won't affect me. Because of the first comment, I'll be in Canada.

Denial:"He's not really the president of the United States. He's only president of the streakers convention."

Defiant:"Why should I listen to him? He's only the president of one of the worlds largest military powers. Why should I listen to him?

Pessimistic:"Great. He's only been president for several moments and the country's already going to the toilet."

Optimistic:"Well, at least it's not Clinton."

This is in no way a personal vendetta against Obama. It is just easier to come up with negative things to say about him.

My Fear...

I don't know about anyone else, but I have to say that There are certain characters from a certain classic Disney movie that give me shivers. seriously.. here is a picture..


doesn't that scare anybody? a HEFFALUMP!! I HATE HEFFALUMPS! If it had its mouth open saying "DURRRR!!! HA HA HA!" I would be cringing in my chair. My mom probably doesn't think that I am serious, but I am. I have been afraid of them since I was about 4. I remember the reason to this day. I watched the Pooh Bear Video, and when I saw the heffalumps, I thought nothing of them. That night, I went to sleep. In my dream, the same thing happened to me. Except instead of the heffalumps stealing my honey, they were stealing my HESS trucks. Scary. Imagine me in a dream being terrified by imaginary creatures. Created by Disney. Even worse. That definitely doesn't help your manhood. Yes, I may be spastic, But I really don't like heffalumps. But Woozles are worse! I was lookin' for a picture of a woozle and I came across a Wiki on them. (Of all things to make a wiki about.. Woozles?) Luckily, they didn't have a picture, but this is the description; "A woozle is a fictional character created by walt disney. The word woozle is similar in spelling to weasel, and the character is similar to a weasel exceot they are often colorful". Whoa! Red flag! SIMALAR TO A WEASEL!! Doesn't that say "Hind under your covers from the heffalump, but watch out for the woozle! it can weasel under your sheets!" TERRIFYING!

From quotes to thriller.. yes it is possible..

Here are some of my all time favorite quotes

"There are no stupid questions. Only stupid people."
Well duh! I like to count myself as one of those people who doesn't ask stupid questions. I may give a stupid answer every so often. But I know some people who are like that (Not pointing any fingers but..)
"Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together."
- So true! I love duct tape. and what a friggin amazing analogy. Star Wars... Speaking of which, here is a clip of star wars thriller!!! (Random. Yes I know, but that's what happens with apple juice and cookies. The snack of preschool champions. Yeah! I'M LIVIN' ON THE EDGE!)

Why guys don't care

All girls think that guys are just stupid and because they are stupid, they have no brains. And because they have no brains, they ignore everything you say. and because they ignore everything you say, they just respond and say whatever pops into their head. And because they say things that just plop out of their heads. and because they say things that just plop out of their heads, etc...
While this process is impossible to stop or to change altogether, there are some simple things you can do and say to alleviate some of the troubles of this grim process.

1. Speak slower- part of the time the reason they choose to ignore you is because they cannot keep up at your speed of speech. If he realizes that you are speaking almost a syllable per second, he may be able to catch.
2. Talk about sports or video games- the largest reason that men zone out on the ceiling and start to ignore you is because they believe that the ensuing conversation has nothing to do with anything he deems valuable to survival. If you can get his attention with a comment about the raiders game last night, you can lead into another conversation without him ever being the wiser.
3. continue talking with random sounds- keep talking, but randomly shout "DUCK!!! ARTILLERY!!!" and that will jolt him back into the real world.
4. Become violent- this will of course get his attention since he does not expect to be kicked in the shins. Or where ever else you kick or hit. just remember. do not damage his ability to speak. If you do, he will not be able to apologize, and that will only endanger his life further. (A note for men. DO NOT UNLEASH THE TIGER WITHIN. raaaawwwrr.)
If non of these methods work, he may have dropped into a coma from the shock of his own igorance. At this point, medical attention is required. ( Hopefully only for the coma.)
ABUSE!!!!!

Rugby, Rugby, Rugby!!

I am so PUMPED!!! My dad is taking me to a rugby touch game at BYU on saturday morning!!(Two hand touch rugby. Yes it's possible to play rugby without tackling) If you don't know me, then this is like the biggest event of my life! I get to play rugby at BYU!! who can say that? this could be the day that I come alive. And, there are girls at BYU right?

This video is friggin' hilarious. This is all done by a comedian. For all of you who are older than me, this will bring back some memories. For those of you who are my age, you'll think "oh my gosh. people actually danced like that? Anyway, here it is!!!!

MY FIRST POST EVER!!!!!

wow. so this is my first post ever. amazing isn't it? I can spell, type, and try to figure this friggin' thing out all at the same time! Heck Yeah! You thought that this monkey couldn't walk and breathe at the same time. Well guess what? I'm an Orangatan!!! and I have.. shoes.. so HA!
