Facebook Is Gay.

I feel like this stupid website has way to much importance on our generations lives. Like facebook is not as cool as all us white little college students think. Especially these 5 things I feel like are so dumb and prove how annoying facebook really is.
1.Relationship Statuses
I was talking to Kim the other day and I guess she just changed her status to in a relationship like a week ago. I thought that was weird. Like mine still says single. But, Derek and her have been really serious since like September and she barely just changed it. Kim didn't change hers because Derek didn't change his but in turn Derek didn't change his because Kim never changed hers. So like what are you supposed to do? Haha is the guy supposed to like take you out to a super nice restaurant and be like, "My honey-angel-baby-snackums, I feel like its time for us to take that next step. I'm ready to change my status. Its time." Then you of course just burst out in tears because being facebook official is what you've dreamed about since the last time you had to switch your little red heart back to single and like 30 random strangers posted don't likes and "OH NOOO! What happened?! I'm soooo sorry :'(." And you both whip out your iphone and change your statuses together right there at the table while holding hands. Its just a stupid little heart icon that stays on your wall for about a week than is pushed off and sent to your info page where it is forgotten until you have to bum your self out by changing it to single and feeling like a loser.

2. Something I like to call a Mellisa
Why must people post there problems on facebook? NO ONE CARES! If they do then you probably know that person well enough to actually talk to them in I don't know real life maybe. If you post 12 status updates in a day about how you have no friends and no one cares about you. I bet I know why. Its because you post 12 status updates about how you have no friends and no one cares about you.

3.Over 800 million friends and counting
Really once you get over 250 friends you just want people on your facebook to look cool. No one knows that many people they really care about. And having that many friends doesn't make you look popular anyways. Everyone knows you don't talk to all those people. All I think when I see that is that you are just trying to hard. And pretty sure that's what everyone else thinks to.

4.Mirror Picks and the like.
So I really like the picture aspect of Facebook. If you have pictures of you actually doing something they are awesome and fun to look at. But you get people who I don't know dress up in all of their boarding gear to just take pictures if front of their door. When they have only been snowboarding like 3 times. Ya, you all know who I'm talking about. Isn't there anything better to do with your time than to sit on the couch and take photo after photo.

5.Stupid games and gifts from games.
I don't play mafia warrior, so don't send me a machine gun as a gift or some random thing. I don't want it or care. I also don't want a Gucci purse from sorority life. It just makes me sad that I can't get a Gucci purse in real life. And having one on facebook doesn't make it any better.

Turns Out He Actually Is Human

Its the most wonderful time of the year!!! Nope not Christmas. IT WINTER X GAMES! And as you know I love the x games. Seriously its not often that snowboarding is put on such a big stage. Its fun to see how everyone is pushing the sport. Like Torstein Horgmo's insane triple cork. Its just ridiculous, and something I definitely suggest you you tube. But one guy isn't having the weekend they expected. As always Shaun White was supposed to come in and take not only the super pipe victory but slopestyle as well. So he will most likely win pipe tonight but his slopestyle was a joke. He didn't even qualify for the finals. He was knocked out by an 18 year old kid from Salt Lake.(Represent! btw) So how does a guy capable of this. Grant it this picture was taken in a pipe but when I googled Shaun White Snowboarding all I got were images from his stupid video game. But anyway if you can do that you can qualify for slope. So how did he get knocked out?

Well, I will tell you. Shaun had every single athlete in the sport pushing to dethrone him. They were working their tails off to catch him. Hitting the hill every day then hitting the gym then hitting the hill again. And what was Shaun White doing while everyone else was killing themselves to push not only them but the sport as a whole. This...

While they were busy riding their boards, he was riding a horse. The Xgames were his first competition since the Olympics. Which last year he had taken the year off of slopestyle anyway. So he was planning on being able to compete for the first time in practically 2 years and take home a victory against everyone that has been dedicating their life practically to the event. Right after he got knocked out a commercial came on of him driving around a car for BF Goodwrench. What does that have to do with snowboarding? K, alot of sponsor's don't have stuff to do with the sport but still like at least they try to be relevant. BF Goodwrench has nothing to do with anything snow related. So just me maybe Shaun should stop selling out and actually try riding a little bit more. He has pushed the sport more than anyone else could. There is a line between making the sport more main stream and just being plain annoying.

Just Dance Two!!!

K this is the best game in the entire world! You all know that song Big Girls You Are Beautiful? Like "get on down to the butterfly lounge and find your self a big lay-day" Ya that is on it and the avatar is this 300 pound girl all shakin wha her momma gave 'er. Its so hilarious like that is the hardest dance on the game just because you can't focus on the moves because your way too busy watching her. And then there is this this Russian dance where you have to try and do the leg kicky outty thing that they do. And by the end you are pretty much rolling around on the ground in laughter. But here is the best part of the entire game. Like half an hour and you seriously have had the best work out ever. I was panting by the time we were done playing. And then like its set up so everyone playing isn't doing the same dance. There are different parts and stuff so its really fun and it makes the videos even better. (which when I upload them I will post one on here because they are so funny!) They have good songs to choose from to like A Punk by Vampire Weekend and stuff. Its really like the best game ever.

XOXO (that stands for hugs and kisses)

K so this blog is going to make me sound like a total hypocrite after my last post but welcome to my completely f'ed up life lately. And btw Sara, Seth will never ever ever lay eyes on my blog ever. But anyways...

I've kissed a few boys in my day. Not a lot but enough. And I've never had an amazing take your breathe away movie kiss. And to me those have always sounded like a good time. With the whole your head spinning around and time stopping and the crazy butterflies in your stomach. Like I've been totally bummed out by the fact that I've never as Anne Hathaway in Princess Diaries puts it "makes my foot pop" kiss. That is until tonight.

I was coming back from Ethan's with Seth and we were just sitting in his truck like talking and so anyways we started kissing and it was so perfect. Like I basically forgot how to breathe. It was the best kiss ever! Seriously everything in the world like melted away and that sounds dumb but it happened. I was so bummed about not coming to Utah. Like I'm kinda having a hard time with not being up there for Taylor's farewell and I feel like so kinda distant from everyone. And I've just been really home sick. So I was having a really bad day. And like that kiss made everything so much better. Like seriously how often is a kiss blog worthy. Not very often is the answer to that question btw. It really turned around my entire day.

So this seems like a random picture. Its Hiccup and the girl from How To Train Your Dragon. When I was searching for pictures of cute movie kisses this came up. And the night that Seth and I kissed for the first time we watched this movie. So I thought it was kinda sweet and adorable that it came up in the search results. Ya I know, I'm a dork =).

Doomed From The Start

Today started innocently enough. I got up did my hair, threw in a load of wash. Texted Seth and made plans for tonight after work. Then I headed off to my Book of Mormon institute class. When I got there I was so excited to see Chelsie and took a seat next to her. And talked for a minute before Brother Martin started class. We opened our scriptures and began by reading Alma 32:21. Scripture mastery time if you know what it is. K ya, I didn't know it off the top of my head either but its "the faith is believing in things that aren't seen" one. So as I was prepping myself for yet another lesson on faith another very familiar scripture was brought up Alma 32:28 (like a seed growing if it is good and all that jazz). So Bro. Martin calls on me and is like "Bri, pleas read that verse and swap out the word seed with relationship." So I did and I immediately felt like crap. Like if you swap those words out and read to like verse 32 the scriptures basically say if you feel the spirit with a guy its good if you don't you need to end the relationship. So I'm like thinking about how I don't really feel the spirit when I'm around Seth and how I've kinda been slacking since we started hanging out. And starting to feel a little horrible then Martin starts going on about how you should have uplifting conversations and you should want to be a better person around the person you are dating. And if you get the sort of dark nervous feeling its a completewarning sign and you should get out. And I start feeling even worse. And I'm totally going over what me and Seth in my head when bam in the middle of class he sends me a text that said. "I kissed a girl and I liked it. I kissed a girl and she was amazin. Haha I know that's cheesy and Katy Perry is a dirty dirty slut but that song came on and I couldn't get you out of my mind for some reason ;)." So not only was that really dumb but it was horrible timing. And I'm sitting there with this text knowing that I shouldn't be with him. But I sent back a :). And then I kept texting him throughout class! Cause I seriously can not control myself. He is just so much fun. But now I don't know what to do because I know that this is a really bad idea and I need to end it. Like I know I have to do that, especially before things get super serious. But I just do not want to at all. I like feel so good when I'm with him. I know its not the right kind of good though you know. I can't like cut him off. I really have no idea what to do. Well actually I know what I should do but I really just don't want to =(.

Guilt TRIP

Dear My 2 Best Frends In The World,

So, I've noticed that no road trips to come and see me have been planned. I just want you to know that I'm not okay with this. I feel like both Malibu Maxes and Honda Civics get excellent gas millage. I also believe there is plenty of room at my sister's for you guys and she would be totally okay with you coming. Her house is basically a hotel cuz someone is always coming to stay. I know for a fact that Timpview has a ridiculous amount of teacher quality days and I also know that deep down Sara you are always okay with skipping class. Plus have you guys ever heard of this place called the Grand Canyon? Its pretty sweet and guess what. I LIVE BY IT! I also live by this place called Sedona and this other place called Diablo Burger which is delicious. Plus there are people down here which you have to meet. And you can't meet them if I'm always the one coming to see you guys. And you both luv vacations and not to sound conceded but you both luv me. So why is there still no plan for coming to spend some quality time with your bestest pal? I'm very disappointed in you both. I will even make you guys adorable brown paper bag lunches for your ride home when you leave if you come down. They will be so cute you will die. I will even write a personalized message on the napkin. That in its self is worth coming down for. But really its only 7 hours and if you cut that driving time between you two its only 3 and 1/2 hours each. That's soooo do able. In a non-lesbian way, I miss you like the moon misses the stars and a flower misses the sun in the middle of January. And Flag is really sweet so you have to come see it. Plus I will get off work and junk too, and we will just do whatever we want while you guys are down here. It would be like the most awesome vacation ever!

Seriously you have to have to come!
Bri

P.S. did you think the name of this blog was clever? Because I did. ;)

Love Hurts

Its no secret I'm a little obsessed with snowboarding. I love everything about it. I love the speed that takes your breathe away for a minute. I love cruzing alone and just forgetting about life. I love riding with a ton of friends, and just laughing about nothing your just happy. I love the ride home, and your feet all cozy in your Uggs. I love hearing the snow swoosh with the turn of the board. I love what a fashion show it is. I love taking in the nature from the lift. I love stopping and watching it snow under the lights at night in silence. I love the magazines, the contests, the lodge breaks. I love it all.

Some days though snowboarding doesn't love me back. Today I left with about half of the snow from the resort in my pants and in serious need of some Advil. The snow in my pants I blame 100% on Seth and Ethan. I think I probably got sprayed like 17 times. Seriously hard core too! And then Seth tried to penguin slide attack me and we ended up rolling like 10 feet down the hill cuz we couldn't stop. And my jacket got twisted up in the process and basically acted like a snow shovel scooping up all it could. It was really lame =(. And toward the end of the day I got tired and so I got lazy and so I fell A LOT. And the snow was so eaten up by then that like it was super unforgiving. So my knees are purple and my back keeps catching. And even after a 15 minute shower and a 40 minute bubble bath I'm still incredibly tight which means tomorrow I'll be incredibly sore. Actually I think I'm incredibly sore already.

And I can't wait to get up in the morning and do it all again.

Hairapy

I got a haircut today finally! I seriously needed it. My hair has been so sad looking lately. But anyways. I was talking to Amy, the girl who does my hair, (is it weird if i said my stylist, cuz I couldn't decide). So, we were talking and I was telling her about how I wanted to move out and all that. And like she was so for the idea and gave me a lot of really helpful advice and stuff. And I totally decided I'm going to do it. And that led to a discussion on my whole boy situation which is still a mess. But now I'm not freaking out about it at least. I mean we even talked about my grandparents! Like I just pretty much unloaded on her and it was so nice. She has been kinda like a aunt since I've been down here and has been so helpful. I'm so grateful that I have someone like her to give me advice and really understands what I'm going through. I'm really thankful for Amy.

Coooooooool BEANS

I'm guessing this dude was the original cool bean cuz he seems pretty sweet.

What happened to the phrase cool beans? I feel like it needs a comeback. I remember Mitch Crogan said it all the time junior year but all the sudden its just randomly out of style? Like who decided that? I love cool beans! And if Hot Rod is still cool then so is cool beans. It just makes sense. I want cool beans to once again bounce around peoples conversations like a beach ball at a Nickleback concert. (Also a phrase that needs to be used more.) Cause we still say "there can only be one highlander" and I honestly never understood what that meant. Seriously what is a highlander and why is he so stuck up that there can only be one? Finally explain that to me please!!! So you know whats not cool beans? That we still say that and not cool beans.

GREEK IS BACK!!!

My love is back! I can't even tell you how excited I am about it. As you all know when The OC was cancelled it was rough for me. I thought it was the one. Every Thursday night I was on my couch, eyes glued to television. It was a match made in TV heaven. Until randomly in Febuary of 2007 it was canceled. With out any warning. And I was left with a giant hole in my weekly routine. Since then I've tried other shows. I've messed around with Nitro Circus, Pysch, and The Office. But nothing really was the same. I had all but given up hope. It seemed like The OC was a once in a lifetime sort of TV show. And nothing would ever measure up. But then Junior year I stumbled on Greek. It wasn't serious for a long time. I would watch every few weeks, but I didn't really commit to it for about a year. And then I just knew, it totally hit me out of nowhere. Greek was what I had been looking for all this time. I can't remember ever loving a show as much as I love Greek. Even when The OC was at its best.

Greek is seriously the best! It actually makes me look forward to Mondays. Even both my brothers are obsessed with it. I wasn't able to watch it this Monday however, because I was busy but the second after I finished it on Hulu I was on the phone with Justin talking about what Kappy and Casey were going to do, and how long Ashley was going to stay in New York. I'm talking like a 30 minute convo. Its insane how great this show is. But here are the ten reasons I love Greek.

1. Kappy is basically a darker haired Bryce. (Which I know I shouldn't care about now, but he is super adorable, and I have a lot of fun with him. And really as of right now I couldn't care less)


2. You can't hate anyone on it. Every character has its bad points and it good points. You like everyone.


3. It is really good at leaving you wanting more.


4. Kappy is so hilarious


5. Its not out of this world stuff, like normal people could go through the stuff on the show.


6. Kappy is amazing


7. It is a really good like bonding thing with me and Jus


8. It makes you laugh. Its not all about the drama


9. There isn't like on set main character. Everyone is living like intertwining lives.


10. KAPPY! ps he is on the far left of the photo

You Go Girl! Oh Wait, You Can't. There's a Line.

Is it just me or did God give girls alot of very gender specific trials? Like, we have insane hormone issues. We naturally are fatter than guys. And of course we have to push full grown new born babies out of our cha cha and then pretend to be excited about it! I'm okay with most of these. It just proves how much more amazing we are then guys. But there is one issue that plagues our gender I think was maybe a little excessive. WE ALWAYS HAVE TO PEE!!! Its like contagious to. You can be totally fine until some other girl goes to the bathroom and all the sudden its like the Levey's trying to hold back Hurricane Katrina down there. Plus like there is always a line and its of course five miles long. And you never get to pee in privacy cause there is always someone outside your stall listening to you handle everything so you try and go all quiet but sometimes it backfires and it sounds even weirder.And why couldn't we be designed to stay standing like guys? Is it just me or wouldn't that make everything alot easier? Guys are so free with their bathroom options. They can be in the woods or miles away from a bathroom and have no worries. Us on the other hand need a bush or large tree of some sort, adequate room to squat, and something to wipe up with. Or most likely we are going to hold it until we are a human water balloon trying not to pop. Really I love being a girl, and i think we are great. But we seriously need to evolve into more proficient pee-ers.
