Brand New Top Ten Count Down

Disclaimer: I know this is a ridiculous time of night to be blogging but I had this Connect Vitamin Water, which is apparently like the equivalent of like 5 Red Bulls. Because I drank it at like 10 and am still wide awake. Anyway...

I really wanted to do like a top ten year end countdown thing, but I couldn't decide what to do it on. So I decided to do a top ten decade end count down, but I still couldn't think of anything. Then a Brand New song came on my pandora and I realized they were formed like 10 years ago. So I decided I would do a top ten countdown of the best band of the decade and or possibly all time.

Since Brand New is so amazing I couldn't put in every favorite song so here are the top five that barely missed the cut in no particular order.

Honorable Mentions

1. Guernica
2. Moshi Moshi
3. Me Vs. Maradona Vs. Elvis
4. You Wont Know
5. Degausser

And I couldn't figure out how to publish all the videos in one post so they are all separate.

Wild Card- Am I Wrong?

So I didn't want to put this in cause its technically a cover. I wasn't sure what to do with it so its the Josh of this countdown.

Fun Fact: On the episode of Psych when Shaun's girlfriend Abigail goes to Africa. This is playing when she gets on the plane.

Number Ten - Brothers and/or Coca Cola

So they did this same arrangement with different lyrics and its called Coca Cola. I definitely like Brothers better. Not saying Coca Cola is bad like its all right but its not as good. Oh ya this is on there Fight of Your Deamons EP.

Number Nine - I Will Play My Game Beneath The Spin Light

Lyndsie's personal favorite. My personal ninth favorite. This is on Deja Entendu

Number Eight- Seventy Times Seven

K title of this song is a bible reference!!! Way to go the gospel! I gotta twenty dollar bill that says you can't figure out what it is refering to. Anyone catch that I used a lyric from mix tape btw.

Number Seven- Okay I Believe You But My Tommy Gun Dont

Pretty sure this is Sara's favorite. Sorry for the really weird video its the best I could find.

Number Six- Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades

I don't have anything to say about this. I just love it.

Number Five-Soco Amaretto Lime

This is track 5 on Kickn' It Aush Two. The best mix Jory has made in his life. So I thought it should be five in this to.
Nothing is better to sing to in the car then this song

Number Four - Sowing Season

Justin can back me on this I can sing the yeah's in this song probably better than Jesse Lacey himself. I love the whole finger pointing thing I might do that in pictures now.

Number Three- Play Crack The Sky

I know this song is super depressing to most people but it will actually get me out of a depressed mood when I listen to it. PS, the end is my favorite part for some reason. Like I really like the whole them leaving the studio thing.

Number Two-The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

This is like one of the only legit videos they ever made.

Number One- Jesus Christ

So, I know this is featuring Kevin Devine. But Kevin Devine is cool, and this version is cool. So I don't really care if its not the original.



So that was it my top ten Brand New songs. If you actually listened to all of them pat your self on the back. If not, you suck. If you don't agree with me whatever that's cool I know Justin wont and I don't really care.

Continental Flight #1661

K guys I have the official plan for my life. I'm moving to the Maldives and living on the beach.I'm sick of being all white and wintery. Its gross. I am going to spend my days in the ocean and hooking up with hot rich tourists and sending them on their way after a week with absolutely NO strings attached. Seriously that is all I want, just a endless string of uncomplicated new faces. Cuz turns out once you get invested in a guy not like casually its completely terrifying.And knowing how he feels about you makes it all the more scary and just makes you want to run away even more. Because I hate being in this vulnerable position and I just want to not care about anything or any guy, cause I'm all guarded and insane like that. So Maldives it is. If you wanna come, the earliest flight is continental #1661 out of Phoenix at 1:30 Friday afternoon. If not I'll send you a post card.

"me and my cousins and you and your cousins. Its a line thats always running"

So guess what guys. Things are finally not complicated with Malcolm! It was a pretty bumpy start on Sunday, but things just worked themselves out as the trip went on. And on Tues. it finally got smoothed completely out. We were talking to Griffin and he was like "Grif, you know I'm Bri's boyfriend?" and I was like "oh, crap" in my head. Then he looked at me and said "I'm a boy and I'm just her friend, huh" And I just was like "yep and I'm your girlfriend, right?" And he all sighed and was like "ya, I guess." And I just laughed and hit his arm and was like "dude I'm in college". And he just laughed back and was like "k, I got it." PS by this time I'm pretty sure Griffin was really confused =). So now we are the cousin/frend relationship that we should be. Which I am really stoked about, cause he is an awesome kid and I have a lot of fun with him. And now I don't have to worry about like accidentally sending the wrong message or anything.

But ya seeing everyone in Cali was really fun. I have pretty much adopted them as my extended family and its fun to have something like that in my life. Seeing as I kinda struck out on that with both my Bishop and Oberg sides. I love feeling like I have cousins.

Provo was really fun. Would have been funner if anyone had been in town, but whatever guess only my parents and Jus love me. But it was really fun and I remembered how much I miss home. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Dirty Little Secret

I have a big confession to make. I am extremely ashamed but, I am... (sigh)... totally... a... a gleek. I love it. I love the songs. I love Sam who is incredibly hot. I love the mellow drama of the gay kid. I love it all. Did I mention I love it? GLEE FOR LIFE! (just don't tell anyone, cuz I will deny it if I have to.)

Over It

I am officially hanging up the whole day of the week thing. I know, I know you are TOTALLY BUMMED about it. Ya, well I decided it was really lame. So we are done with it. And it was getting really annoying to have to wait for a day of the week that fit to it.

K, I was going to do Tiatia Tuesday. Which I think is really fun to say so I wanted to write it. So NAU played Weber on Saturday's game. And guess who the guy that like hikes the ball to the quarter back is on Weber. TYSON TIATIA! It was so random. I looked like really good at the game. It sounds concided and maybe it is a little but I did. Anyway so I yelled down to him and like suprisingly he even remembered my name. Which I didn't think was gonna happen, cause pretty sure last time I talked to him was beginging of junior year or something like that.

Well that was kinda off subject basically no more travilin' tuesday, or sickness saturday or any off that

Miracle Monday

Some Pics of the Birthday Boy

Today is a very big day in my family. Its Brax's 9th birthday. I understand that for most kids their ninth birthday is not a massive deal. I know that sounds rude but seriously turning nine isn't that special. But for Bugs it is a massive accomplishment. Considering he wasn't supposed to live to be 6 months old let alone 9 years. It's amazing to think of everything he has made it through since the moment he was born. Brax has seriously done so much more than anyone said was possible. It truly shows you that anyone can do anything. It is so fitting for his birthday to come the week before Thanksgiving. He shows everyone how much there is to be thankful for in the world. Truly knowing Brax's reminds you to appreciate the small things. I would probably for instance not think twice about the ability to enjoy the taste of food. But when you look at Brax grinning from ear to ear about the lick of a sucker or a mini bit of cotton candy, you realize how lucky you are. I feel like Brax is in every way a blessing. And I know everyday he is still here is a miracle. No one that has ever met Bugs, would think he would be here physically to celebrate this birthday. This is a really really sick day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUGS! I will love you for absolutely ever and can't wait to celebrate more of your birthdays.

Stick Shift Sunday

Guess what I can now drive people. A STICK SHIFT!!! It is incredible like I feel like I have joined this amazing club. Just kidding that might be a little bit of an exaggeration... but still i feel kinda cool that I can do that now. So you are probably asking yourself, "Brianne how on earth did you learn to drive stick?" Well it all started Saturday night at about 10:00pm Ivan and I had just adjourned from the movie theater after catching the night's showing of Paranormal Activity 2.

Which I have to say was a little awkward cuz it was like I don't want to get into deep with Ivan cause he works at Siz and if I start to get into it with Bryce (which I do want) I don't want that awkwardness, and then there is the whole Seth situation to take into consideration. Which I have to say I am not feelin' his attitude lately. Like he was all cool and understanding about like the church and me. But now he makes these stupid 'Mormon boy' comments and stuff that make me want to punch him in the balls. Which is not a normal reaction to something he says for me.

Anyway. We were making our way out of the theater when it was brought up that I can't drive a stick. And the next thing I know we were sitting in the empty Micheal's Parking lot and I am behind the wheel of his civic. Honestly there were a couple of times when like I was sure I had totally killed his car. And even more times when we were both like collapsed in laughter at me. But I totally became pro. And side note drifting in a car is soooooo fun. He was like getting his Paul Walker on and seriously doing all this insane stuff. I loved it.

But at the same time I felt kinda horrible cuz like I really just want to be strictly frends and I know he wants to be like a lot better frends then I do. If u catch my drift. And he is like really good looking and a really fun and all that, but its just like I dono I just feel like stuff is happening with Bryce and ya know it would be awkward to like work with them both. Like if it were Brooks or Jake or something I would be way more into it then with Ivan, cause I just think it would be easier then saying "hey Ivan I don't want to hook up with you because I am hooking up with that guy right there so u guys have a good shift." Like I would feel really bad, (I mean hooking up in the Mormon definition of the word btw). I dono I really just want to like see how things go with Bryce right now like I kinda wanna focus on that goal at the moment =). And guys I know I seriously had my last like 3 blogs kinda go to him but like I dono I can't help it. I don't really know how this ended up about him again. But its like this blog has kinda turned into a diary where I like barf out everything I am thinking and try and sort through it. And right now I am thinking a lot about him. Like I have been praying for him and I want everything to be great but I dono. Just like it feels like more serious then a crush. Like He makes me smile for no reason and I know I am probably making a bigger deal of this than it is. Maybe but just I really am so unequipped to deal with guys that I have no idea what I am doing. I just feel lost but I am like loving it. So ya that's what I am dealing with down here. Hope everything is great up home. Love you guys!

PS if u have any ideas or just want to talk to me call me cause I don't have anyone I know well enough to talk about personal stuff like this with SO ONE OF YOU TWO NEED TO CALL ME, PLEASE! Cause I am freaking out with this all just sitting in my brain working its self up.

Soda Pong Saturday

Not sure how to get pics from my phone to computer when I do I will have one of the champions with the pong belt. I kinda hate how sucky I am at tech stuff cuz it would look really good.

K guys, Bryce is seriously becoming my favorite guy ever! I know that is a weird opening sentence to a blog about soda pong, but I just had to have my little gush moment. Cuz he is like amazing a little bit. Ya, did i mention he is like really really great :). I would say find him through my facebook and tell me what you think but for some reason after I added this one girl I can't add or accept friend requests. Its really weird. So once I figure that out you two have to stalk him and tell me what you think, k? Any suggestions on the facebook thing btw, cuz its really annoying. Notice I also used an I in friends cuz facebook friends aren't real frends. Everyone is out to make themselves look good on there, it is not a frend appropriate place Remember that. But ya back to soda pong. I realize it sounds a little dorky to say soda pong, but it is so fun! And I am actually pretty good to which i thought I was going to suck. Me and Bryce's team would have actually made it to the finals if freaking Brooks didn't have all these insane trick shots. Like seriously he is a pong god I am pretty sure. Anyway at least Bryce got redemption cause he had to be on Sasha's team as well because he didn't have a partner cuz Melanie didn't come through for me. haha jk I love u girl. But Bryce and him totally took the title from Brooks in the most epic game ever. Which was good cause I gotta say no one could beat that guy at anything all night form normal ping pong to pool to wheres waldo. Speaking of wheres waldo he actually technically lost art that because our team lost, but me and Bryce got distracted by the puppies at PetsMart and Krystal was pretty much just shopping. So he and Sasha had to carry our team to a 4th place finish. K, that probably doesn't make sense. Where's Waldo is like where u have 5 people dress up and run around a public place and there are teams that are trying to find them. It is a lot of fun. K, hope you guys are loving life and miss you. Promise to start blogging more than once a week.

Spiritual Sunday

K so I was going to blog about this last Sunday when it happened but it didn't work out so its kinda good though because now I have more to add to the story. Any way So everyone knows I've not always been like ya know total church commitment and all that. But I have really been trying to do allot better ya know Any way that really doesn't have allot to do with what I am writing about but I think if you don't know how much better I've been doing it sounds a little weird coming from me.

Bryce is my manager at work and is like one of my favorite people there. He also is a manager at Holister so that probably gives you and idea of what he looks like and stuff. Its not a stereotype if its true. But ya he is just like a really good guy and so fun. Anyway so I rolled into church last week and it was the 5th Sunday so RS and priesthood was comboed and who do I see in their little HCO polo and slicked back hair come and sit in the back of the room all alone. So leave Arleane and them and I go sit back with him and like he has one of those free blue BOM's and is pretty much all the way through it. Farther than I have ever read, that's for sure. So we just like sat through the meeting together and like Idono but I just felt really good. Like I had this total spiritual amazing feeling through the whole meeting. And it was for sure not the lesson because it was on service or something like it was not super amazing. But ya i just really felt good. Anyway so i was praying and doing all that cheesy stuff for him and Saturday I was talking to him just about our plans for next weekend and he just randomly threw up like all these questions. And I usually just totally freeze up and like don't know what to say but I had no problem talking to him and like knew stuff I had no idea I knew about. It was like one of the coolest convos ever. It just has been kinda cool to just like know someone like that cause I never really had have any type of mish stuff like that. I didn't see them today but I went to second ward today so he probably went and I was gone. I am really glad though cause he is such a amazing guy and I really hope he keeps going. Cause I know how awesome the gospel is and I want like everyone to know all the happiness it can bring you. I am really really happy that Bryce is interested in the church.

Testostorone Thursday (not sure if thats how you spell testostorone)

K so, I had this conversation with Seth a few days ago at work. And it totally got me thinking about guys, so just for him (which doesn't make sense cause he doesn't read my blog and I would probably never let him read it anyway but ya anyway...) I made up a few little lists, because as u all know I really like to make lists, don't judge...

The 5 things girls know about guys they pretend they don't do
1.Secretly you listen and sing along to "chick" music in your truck when your alone.
2.You know when another guy is hot. Seriously if girls can tell so can you its not gay
3.A lot of the time you are pretending to listen, we know you aren't listening and we really don't care we just want to tell our story out loud.
4.Come on, it doesn't itch as much as you scratch
5.You don't say what you mean either, its not just us.

The 5 things girls do that guys don't know
1.Um ya everyone on the earth farts, us included
2. We think Beef Jerky is delicious
3. Jackass is really funny and we watch it
4.Allot of the time we have no idea what sports guy you are talking about. We just pretend to so you think were cool and are only repeating what we have heard our brothers say.
5.We always try hard when we get ready, if we say we didn't its cause we are insecure and want to have an excuse if someone doesn't think we look pretty

Forgetful Friday

So I have forgotten to write on my blog lately. MY BAD!!! Well k totall honesty I have just had funner stuff to do. But I will be better from now on PROMISE. Love you guys!

What The Crap Wednesday

K, just reliezed that you guys have blogs I can follow now!!! How have I not known this? Like seriously! What the crap guys =)

Travelin' Tuesday- Part 3

"Just kidding! don't let go of the rope your too far out!" Um thanks for the advise =)

Ya um... I don't even know what to say...Just WOW

Gotta love tubing, Seriously!

So FUN

Hottest girls on the water!

That would be Mike going down the slide on the back of the house boat in a kayak... oh yeah and he makes it. No Joke

Me chillin' in the boat with Kanye West


Ya some Lost thing... but its seriously epic!


Haha the crappy old Sea Ray got super beached during the storm

He is like 182 years old and look at him totally kill it.

Its here! I am probably more excited than you guys, but its finally time to blog about hands down the best trip of the summer. LAKE POWELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So lets start from the beginning shall we. It was really fun to spend the six hour trip alone with my sister. No phones, no leksi =)JK, no nothing. Just us talking. It was really fun. Then we made it to the marina...which was not as fun. Honestly I don't know why we ever wanted to work there Sara. I was lugging like 30 pounds half a mile in 100 degree heat. Ya, not cool... Finally at the boat we headed out. After the most epic tube war known to man we were at cookie jar and the most awesome beach at all of lake Powell. It was super beautiful and the most amazing white perfect sand ever. Our neighbors boat was bigger, bigger speakers on their wakeboard rack, basically bigger everything, but not a bigger sand castle. Hence the picture of the giant foot. It was like something like from lost because they were blaring lost all night or idono. Honestly ask lynds what the 4 toed foot is I got lost (haha WHAT!) But ya so there was so much I don't even know what to talk about. Oh, so Bill is like the absolute grandpa I would love to have. He is like this total California hippie surf bum. He wore all the brands, and listened to angels and airwaves, and was just pretty much the coolest old man ever. Except he snored like there was no tomorrow. Haha and when we finally convinced him to go down stairs. Amie found out he like to sleep um... all exposed lets say. Ya gross. There was this massive storm where we were all laying on our beds trying to keep them from flying away. So some incredible wake boarding went down, of course!, and um... Oh ya speaking of storms I had to ride the sea-doo through Padre Bay during like a huge storm with Mary. Calling us when we were at the marina to say that they were coming to bail us out. =) haha good timing. Um... what else. There was some fun times cliff jumping... playing in the water. Ya and there were a lot of fireworks um ya pretty cool this really amazing cave... that's all I'm gonna say =) Love you guys!

Monsoon Monday

Alright so even though my tan has faded considerably since we got back from vacations I still love the monsoons! Like take today for instance, on route 66 today there were cars seriously hitting puddles that splashed up higher than their actual vehicle. Like suburbans and stuff people. It was so cool. And its not like an all day thing either. You get up and its super nice then around noon or one the storm blows in for like two hours then its back to like blue skies. But ya big storms make me smile so I am so pro-monsoon. And last night there was this super sick lightning storm that I just laid in my bed and watched it so cool! And you can wear hoodies and like fall clothes early which I love because hoodies and stuff like that are pretty much my favorite.

These storms are super cool, but it comes at a price. The Shultz fire left neighborhoods like Timberline and Doney Park totally screwed. All the ground cover and most of the trees and stuff were all wiped out so it left the entire side of the peaks like a giant mud slip 'n slide. The fire got a ton of media and honestly got a little blown out of proportion. Ya, it was 14,000 acres but it wasn't like burning people alive and stuff. Anyway, but no one but locals basically know about all the flooding. The washes have been so full that a 12 year old fell in and sucked under, they finally found her body like 5 miles away shoved up against a tree under the freeway. It has been really cool to see how the community has like come together and helped though. Like our stake has spent a entire Saturday filling sandbags up there and all the fire fighters have become like flood fighters and its just really amazing to see that I mean this thing has been going on all summer and people are still taking animals still doing pretty much everything that they were when the fire first broke out. It is so awesome.

Ya on a less bummer of a note. This was supposed to be about how I love the rain but it kinda took a weird tone my bad. Oh and also shout out to Monsoons on Leroux. Best Chinese ever! and that's including PF Changs so that really is saying something. Love you Guys!

Stressfull Saturday

Okay you guys I am officially freaking out over my life! I just had the worst day at work and I feel like crying. So, first things first. I had this native lady totally freak out about how she didn't have a stupid baked potato with her salad bar. And I was like K do you see baked potatos on the salad bar, no, so odviously it doesn't come with one! But I still brought it out and everything and then she was so horribly rude. And Nicole totally was all pissed at something and taking it out on me. It was just horrible and things with Daniel were bad. But it was just creepy. But ya i think Daniel is annoyed about taking my shift thurs. even though he is the one who called me and offered but it was probably like he didn't want to but would come in type of thing. Or he could have just been having an off night to. Hey, looking on the bright side maybee he broke up with his girlfreind. I don't know and we talked about Malcom and it was just weird and I didn't want that to ever come up. But I seriously am even more confussed about everything. I don't know as of tonight pretty sure NOTHING is going to happen. =( I seriously feel at this moment like I am going to end up being a crazy cat lady but with dogs because cats are lame. And getting ready for school has been such a hassel, because their entire system has been down so its super hard to get everything. I am just really bummed and I know I am being overdramatic and stuff but I am just really tired and most likely a little time of the monthy... Ya I know TMI but whatever.

And yesterday at work Chris, told me I had super attractive legs and he would like love to eat a french fry off my big toe if it was stretched out to him. Super weird and awkward, huh? K I am going to bed now and Am going to try and forget about this night. Love you Guys!

Travelin' Tuesday- Part Two

This cove was so crazy cool!

Brax chillin' at the beach

The fam at dinner

The girls in Santa Monica

Alright our next stop on the vacation train is...(have you guys ever noticed how much I love those ... things, cause I have.) CALIFORNIA! Yeah, Way to go for the golden state! So this trip was kinda put a damper on by the fact that our entire town was about to be burned up and everything but still so fun. Can I just say I love surprise vacations. Nothing better than coming home from work thinking how much it sucks that you have to go back the next day... but wait YOU DON'T all you have to do is pack because your leaving in the morning to Rancho Palos Verde. K so we stayed at the Terranea which is such an amazing resort. Plus guess what was filmed there The O.C. I never found out where but I made a special note to see as much of the resort as I could so I could say I walked where Seth, Ryan, Marisa, and Summer walked. I am pretty sure it was down at the cove but i dono for sure.

Ya, so the night we got there everyone was really tired from driving so all we really wanted to do was chill on the beach but we decided to get some food. We went out to Redondo beach and drove to this Pier. Which John named K-Town because seriously I have never seen so many Koreans or Korean Shops. And not racist but they have no personal space there were constantly people right next to me. And trying to push Brax through a sea of Asians seriously NOT EASY! I couldn't breathe. So we all left a little on edge and finally opted for this pizza place on the way home. We brought it back to our villa (all still wanting to kill each other by the way). But came back to a bowl of tropical fruits and this pretty flower arrangement welcoming us to the hotel. and immediately we were relaxed. Plus! TURN DOWN SERVICE! I have never stayed anywhere with it before. Which gave me an idea at home turn down service... like the pillow fluff comp. water bottle the whole nine yards. It would be so great which is going to be my new company Turn In.

So ya, then it was Knotts Berry Farm time which is SOOO much fun. like Lagoon on steroids but even better. And hanging out at Santa Monica Pier was so epic and sick! After a few days we decided to head down the coast to good old Del Mar. Where a old totally gentleman guy with a cane told me I had a beautiful sun tan and preceded to his Bentley. John said I should take him for a sugar daddy but I mean come on I am going to hold out for some one who doesn't have to drive his own Bentley please =). Haha no never ever ever. But ya we went to sea world and what is up with that place. The shows have really taken a nose dive now that they can't get in the water as much. It still is fun and all but I wish they could do more with the animals I mean that's what you go there for. It was so much fun just hanging by the ocean and exploring and just going where ever we decided with no plans or really any concept of time at all. GOTTA LOVE THE CA. LIFESTYLE.

Marry Me Monday

Umm... I don't think I need to say anything...

K have to admit they are cute together =) Park City '07

So I have some big news... GUESS WHO IS GETTING MARRIED!!! Haha not me gotch ya ;) But that was a little bit of humor before this bombshell. Justin, and nope not to Jory. That would be GUESS WHO IS GETTING A LIFE PARTNERSHIP!!! I know my first guess to, but ya I guess I am just putting off saying the name. Which is..........Mollie. Um, ya that is not a typo. He purposed to her a week ago in Vegas. I am happy for them. Especially since they have a year long engagement (planning for sometime in June) and lets leave it at they have a year we will see what happens in that year. I am always behind my brother 100% but I am not doing cartwheels in the cheering section of these nuptials. I mean my first words out of his mouth when he told me he was getting married was "to who?" like it honestly did not even come into my head that he would be marrying her. The next thing I did was text Jory and make sure it wasn't a joke. Kinda blown away.

K, so all my feelings put aside. I really hope them all the best. Hopefully me and Mollie can find some common ground and become close friends and sisters. But if we don't, honestly it really doesn't matter what I think. This is what makes Jus happy than Awesome I am happy for him. I have my reservations but ya know who cares. I wish them all the best, and a lot of luck. Love you guys both, Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Preview- Travelin' Tuesday- Part 2 is going to be published by tomorrow!!! You can have the whole seat if you want but trust me you will only need the edge.

Travelin' Tuesday- Part One

Its finally here!!! Well sort of... I decided that it would be better since I have traveled around a lot, to do like a whole like 4 week series. I know you are all as bummed as I am =(. But I will make it up to you by having it be super sick. Trust me every travelin' Tuesday will be like Christmas. No better it will be like Christmas, Your Birthday, The last day of school, First day of the season, The day you got your license. All thrown up into one beautiful exciting blog! So here is our feature presentation. Da De Da Da...

You dream about your senior trip. A cruise to the Bahamas, backpacking through Europe (which doesn't mean camping) or amazing week in an upscale resort on the San Diego coast. Then you get to your senior year and realize that there is no way your dreams are going to come true. But everything always works out for the best and I can not even think of a better senior trip than a completely sick week in Park City with my forever and ever bff's Kris and Sara. Not going to lie it got off to a kinda crazy start at the grocery store. I thought Sara was going to have a panic attack. As we spent 5 hours in an Albertsons trying to find Parmesan cheese. But it was totally hilarious and fun. Then we spent the night in the hot tub where I fell in with ping pong. Well where i fell in love with the brothers playing ping pong. The next day Kris rolled in. She decided that her new job was more important than chillin in the condo with us. Weird I know. We spent the night at the pool again. But most of our efforts were focused on talking Kristina into stay longer, because she wanted to go back and watch dear john. Which BTW I wouldn't recommend. In the morning we went up to the Olympic park. Which is cool. It would have been fun to do one of the jumps in the pool, but no swimming suit and no clue how to sign up. Leads to me just watching but still having a blast. Then we hit up the resort for a little alpine slide action. It was so fun highlights would be Kris having to bounce her way 1/2 the way down the zip line with me and the girl working screaming at her to just keep going while holding back laughter. Then me getting like 5 feet of air on the alpine slide. It was definitely a party! And I also found my beautiful perfect baby. A $500 Burton FeelGood. For how much now? You ask. Ya I didn't pay half a G. I only paid $99. I know right! I was so excited. I practically slipped into idol worship over this board. Just Kidding but really. The rest of the week was spent shopping, partying, fire dancing, and eating breakfast foods the size of your face at the bridge. It was the perfect send off to high school. Huge thank you to Jack and Deon Pate for letting us crash in their condo. Seriously so cool of you. It was the best senior trip I could have dreamed of.

What Up Wednesday!

Yeah, so this blog was supposed to be about the lake and everything but um... I thought about it and I think Travelin' Thursday or Tuesday would be better. And since I missed Tuesday which common like everyone knew was going to happen with the whole Wed. deadline. And I promised to update by today. So it will have to be tomorrow. Only problem is I'm not really sure what to write about... firstly I have to talk about coming home early. It was a total bummer but I guess everything worked out for the best in the end. I am just really sorry I had to leave with out even saying good by to every one. I was bummed to say the least. It might have been safer to stay in Utah though. I feel like I'm going to seriously get washed away. The monsoons have been crazy! Today I was walking with my niece and her friend Morgan downtown. When it looked like there were 50 camera flashes going off at once. We were all weirded out when this huge boom went off. It felt like I was standing next to a huge speaker and it like shook us. We all were screaming and basically ran inside this gallery. The artist or whatever guy was laughing and was like 'you know that lightning hit basically 5 feet behind you guys' I was laughing so hard to but we seriously almost died. It was hilarious and embarrassing and scary and i don't even know just crazy. So there is my shocker story. Actually no that's not my shocker story. Here is my shocker story. When I was in Idaho i lost my sunglasses. Turned out it they didn't get lost but I was sabotaged by Malcolm and Leksi. He told her to hide them from me. So they stool my glasses! K like he made fun of me for them and I know they both hated them but seriously. And he has no room to judge because his are these white mirrored lens Oakley's. That make him look like a douche bag ya know. Y so I am really kinda upset. I will just have to send Willow a message to save my glasses on facebook. Only if they looked bad enough that they would hide them I wonder if I really did make a fashion mistake with them. I know I know there is no way I could possibly make a mistake like that. But even amazing people like me make mistakes. Not very often but it happens. I don't know I will probably just drop it. But how sad is that. Funny but sad. Alright gotta go. Love Ya Sara and Kris, see you as soon as I can get up there.

Water Works Wednesday

Me and Dave at temple square, Christmas of 2008

Ya, Jus isn't as chubby as he looks in this picture, PROMISE!

Tonight is the senior tribute in our ward. I have really mixed feelings about this. I am so excited to get out of high school I can not even tell you! But I am so bummed to leave everyone. I can't wait to go to Arizona but I want to stay with Sara, Kris, Lynds, Court, and the Daves for the rest of my life. I really will miss my english class to I look forward to it everyday. I have so much fun in the cornor with Sara and the Kevin's. Weird how the guys I know tend to come in pairs of names. Anyway it is weird to be both excited and sad. Finnally get the expresion bitter-sweet. Anyway, the reason I titled this waterworks wednesday is because at this tribute I know I am going to cry. Especially since my brother is reading it and when I read his we both cried. We don't have a super good track record with not balling at this. Since all of my best friends are in my ward and all of us except for Kris will probably be going our seperate ways it makes it even harder. I am getting teary eyed just thinking about it. I really am going to try and keep it in. But I have a feeling it will be like Justin's and Kim Ney will be snapping 100s of pictures of us crying and hugging. Can't wait =( Here are some pictures of me with everyone, well just me and Justin and Dave. That was all that was on my school computer.

Toyota Tuesday

I decide that I am going to change up the days, I will just make sure I have a title that goes with the day. I realized I haven't blogged about my new car yet. I bought a Toyota 4runner (with my parents help) last week. It is amazing! Plus it has a FM radio, a huge step up from the jeep. It's black with just the right amount of chrome. And is really sick! I am going to brag for a minute. It has a super cool thing where it will auto brake when your going down like canyons and stuff, heated leather seats that are this cool gray, and a ton more. Basically it is the coolest SUV ever. I will really miss the jeep though. I loved it to death. So in tribute here is a list of the top 5 best memories of the jeep.

1. Ditching Sara in the parking lot at Smith's

2. Getting stuck at Little Ceaser's at lunch when the battery died. (K, I didn't own the jeep then Kris did, but I still think it counts.)

3.All the Day's runs, and sluffing trips we took. There are to many to pick a favorite.

4. Laying in the backseat on summer days with your head out one window and your feet out the other. (This was when Kris owned it as well, and again it still counts)

5.Night sledding with everyone the first snow storm. Positioning sleds around Becka in the trunk, and almost killing ourselves to get the jeep unstuck from the snow. Ya you can't beat that night.

I'm going to miss the jeep! I hope Bree loves it and has as much fun in it as I did.

Misc. Monday

Hey this is a perfect day for this video, because Mondays blow. So think of this as a gift from me to you to brighten up your day. PS you have to watch the whole video because even though it is kind of long it is so worth it.

Burton Line-Time Out Tuesday

This is designed after their lipstick board. What is good on a board is not always good on your hips ladies. PS it also comes in purple and Orange

Kind of reminds me of a torso. It's just weird


Thought of something else that needs to take a break. I was just barely doing some online shopping and stuff. What is with the Burton clothes, mostly their accessories? Maybe they should spend a little less time on blogging and some more time on designing. Here are some of there worst ideas. I appreciate what an awesome company they are but who would wear this stuff.

Driver's Signs-Time Out Tuesday

This is a weird idea for a day. I will probably change it once I think of a better word that starts with a T. I'll keep it for today though. Um, I think people with those gay little driving signs should take a time out. I don't care what you think about me, and care even less about it if you say it out loud through a douche bag sign out your window. REALLY!? I am pretty sure they are a safety hazard to, if you can't text and drive why should you be able to read a sign someone is holding up out their window and drive? Plus what ever happened to the old fashioned flip off. Everything you can say with you gay little signs you can say with one simple figure. The Times The Times.

End of Term!!!

Hey so I haven't bloged in like over a week! I know tragic right? But I have good reason. I have been exhausted because of school, like redicuously exhausted. End of term sucks. But I will be getting credit for everything. Thank God. Next term I really need to decide to get things done on time, because seriously the stress is not worth slacking off during the first of the term. It kinda blows actually. But ya super fun, in honor of end of term and being in desprated need of excersize because I hadn't done anything the week prior, not even gone boarding wich I do at least once. Any and really being able to use some whole shoping therapy. I had the most killer weekend. So went swimming on friday with sara to help her train for the splash and dash. So swam 1/4 a mile p.s. a TON harder than it sounds by the way. and then we spent like a hour in the steam room with this guy from mapleton or something. K, that sounds kinda weird but nothing weird happened. Anyway I was still super tired from the week at this point on friday so the rest of friday became super chill movie night. Which I was perfectly okay with. On Saturday I got a really cute skirt and blazer and this cute long sleve blue top so that made me happy. Then that night we went to Jump On It and even though I have battle wounds on my knee it was still super sick. They had this awesome little wall tramp that me and Dave were doing tricks and stuff off of. Then we just did all tkhis fun stuff. We went for frozen yorgurt after and they have rockstar flavored yogurt which I thought was compleatly gross but halarious. Especially since the place is on BYU campus and I am pretty sure they can get in trouble. Props to them for sticking it to the man like that. Any way I got a ticket for running this gay stop sign and its cool though cause the cop asked for my number and didn't sign it so YAY for me getting out of it! But ya still pretty upset by it don't really want to talk about it much. So, later!

So Sick of End of Term Stress!

I haven't blog in like forever, I know. But I have been super stressed out. Luckily we are in the home stretch of term. Which is always ridiculously crazy. I have been so on edge about my classes but now I am so smart that I just need two more hours of truencey, one photo assignment, 1/2 a seminar makeup, and 4 hours of internship to pass everything! K sounds like a lot but I can get it done ridiculously quick. Just have to be in class which is the hardest thing about the end of term. I just have to keep thinking about Friday when this will all be happily behind me and I will happily be spending the night at jump on it and dinner. PS if you haven't noticed I am stoked for my Friday plans. Then guess what this term being over means. I am 15/16's of the way done with high school! Can not wait people. I am so over Timpview it is not even funny. Although I love all the awesome people I associate with, I want to start the new chapter of my life super bad. Pretty much want to kick ass and have a super sick life after a gotta admit rocky last 4 years. I am ready to meet new people and start over. But right now I just have to concentrate on getting my internship hours and keep the future in the future. It sucks cause all I wanna do is sleep and I have to much to do to

Due to The Economy

Apparently as sick as I am, I'm not above all this economy shit. After my boss decided to skip out on a few of my paychecks and I had to quit. So now I have no job. Any ideas about one I should get? But good news! Its called a saving account and I am not super broke like everyone else. I still had to figure out how to keep the fun life I have now and not rely on my parents to fund it. So I came up with a epic idea. Its called Bri's Rules to Staying Cool and Rich in The Current Economic Climate. There are 5 and if you fallow them I guarantee they work. Plus you know they are legit because they came from my brain. Which has never had a bad idea EVER. Here they are. The secrets you need to know to become the next Warren Buffet, actually the next Mexican guy who is richer then him now. I can't remember his name though.

1.Shop at Ross, Marshals, DownEast, and Plato's
K, honesty time. We all really love brand names. So even though I could find the exact same Billabong shirt I am wearing at Target for $20 cheaper minus the little one inch burlap square with the logo on it. i don't really want it like I want the Billabong one. And get off your high horse. You feel the exact same way. If you shop at these places instead of the mall though you get the Billabong shirt for the same price as the Target shirt. YAY! For Jeans shop at DownEast and score Big Stars and Meks for no more than 50 bucks a pair. And ya, Plato's is used stuff which is semi gross. But just wash it no biggie. Plus you already get the sexy whole worn in look for no effort. And while you are there you can sell you old clothes to get cash for someone else's old clothes. Its a whole amazing beautiful karmic circle. Plus its kinda like recycling so ya, go green!

2.Skip the whole 3D thing and just see it in tradish style
You seriously wanna pay $2.50 for a weird semi headache and getting kinda sort of but not really dizzy? Oh ya and those cheap ass plastic glasses that you don't really ever wanna get rid of for some reason. Can't forget those.

3.Eat before you go hang out with friends
You know you will just get bored and go out to dinner. This way you can just skip right to playing Guitar Hero. And save your self the Hamilton it would take to go to Apple Bees

4.Buy Monster or Rock Star instead of Red Bull
Who do you think you and your Austrian friends are, Red Bull? As much as I love Shaun White and Travis Pastrana and am tempted to sponsor their sponsors. I also love Hannah Teter and Torstein Horgmo. Plus their energy drink sponsors aren't $1.50 more than everyone else. Plus Red Bull and Cola was the worst idea in the history of the universe. I would rather drink my own pee like Bear Grills. Just kidding that's really awkward and gross. I would take the RB and C. That means Red Bull and Cola just FYI.

5.Stay in school
Once you add up the gas money, whatever you blow on stuff you don't need but buy cause your bored, and the six bucks for truancy. Is it really worth it to not listen to Ms. Adams for a hour and a half. Actually on second thought. This one might not really apply as much as the other four.

Pretty much smartest financial guru ever right. I know I am amazing. Later

Utah, greatest snow on earth?

K so, my sister texted me like two minutes ago quoting "snowbowl 44in pow!" So they got in one storm about what we got all season minus like a foot. Sorry to be lame and use those stupid acronyms but WTF. I went to Sundance yesterday and had to pray that my board would make it across the cat tracks. Because the snow decided to channel Elmer's Glue and was slow as crap. I will admit I need to wax my board for spring, but seriously I have had like five blower days at home. SO GAY! All while I get texts like this and hear about Washington DC getting hammered with out a mountain in sight. I die a little inside every time. Just a little bit. Isn't Salt Lake supposed to be a mecca? Why doesn't it man up and start acting like it. Sorry I know I am super lucky to live where I live. It is sick, I take back the whole Mecca comment. But just bitter I am here when the fam is down riding probably one of the best spring storms I will ever hear about. And I am sitting on my but in pointless school. LAME LAME LAME!!! PS pray they keep getting snow like this till spring break. Ridiculous powder in the second week of April in the best trees in America... um ya no words for that
