Pillow Fights

So like kyle, I am writing to appease council bluffs so next time I see him he won't harass me about my "inadequate blogging skills." Maybe I will write something juicy to make up for the fact, and then it will also create a buffer for me. However due to the nature of the stories, I will have to withhold some information, it's true.

Little tid bits about Amanda:
I have definitely kissed more than one boy, more than two, three....Do I dare keep going?
(I will make cookies for the person that can correctly guess how many people I have kissed, rules being first guess wins, only one winner. Roommates excluded, they will get a few cookies for their inability to be able to play, or maybe because I have gotten in trouble lately I will buy some veggies and dip for them)

Bit #2
I have been told "I love you" before, and I shot the kid down with "uh...Thanks, I like you too"

Bit #3
On my first date I went ice skating for four hours. During this time, the kid, whom I met at a stake dance, wouldn't let me skate with anyone else except for him and we had to hold hands the whole time because "I had never been before and he didn't want me to get hurt." being only 16 like I knew what was going on, haven't talked to the kid since, even though he got home from his mission little while ago and he goes to the singles branch and talks to my dad frequently. This was the worst date of all time for more information-I take requests.

I have broken a few laws, once was on purpose, and the other I didn't know, but apparently in Idaho it's a felony. These are besides the usual I was speeding. When I was in high school, I would clean after basketball games and collect the pop bottles and take them "across the border" to Oregon where they are 5 cents a piece. My friends and I went about once or twice a week, we earned about $150.oo. Now there is a big ol' sign in walmart explaining that people that bring bottles from Idaho over to Oregon are not in accordance with the law-blah blah blah fine this blah blah. And the other one was for our senior prank on the school we had arranged to brake into the high school and let a bunch of pigeons go in there and poop all over. We had plans to put some feed all over the floor and stuff. Every thing went well the door propped open, until we couldn't catch enough pigeons so it was going to take longer to get enough birds. Anyway, I guess you can't catch pigeons and cage them in Idaho that is a big no-no. The end of the story as a side note goes, we went to go and close the door and I guess while we were out someone came and spray painted the school writing the class of 2004 all over the place and other unmentionable pictures. So the next day I got called into the principles office (this happened a lot) and questioned about it because the class pres. Usually heads the prank and so that was just great. So then the prank we were going to do was foiled and we couldn't do it because they had cops guarding the school for days, which was dumb because really, was someone really going to come back with their spray paint buddies and have another go? uh..NO.

Bit #5
I missed 28 days my first semester of my senior year and 26 the second semester. In my school if you are absent for more than 3 days you have to take finals for all your classes, I never took any finals. And, I only had trips half of those days, meaning there had to be another reason for being absent...........Which won't be revealed unless bribed, especially how I got out of it and got it excused.

Bit #6
I read two books for classes my entire high school experience. I was supposed to read about 15. I also got As on all the quizzes.

Bit #7
I was kicked out of class once and told not to come back in, so we played hockey in the hallway with deodorant cap.

Bit #8
Had a favorite makeout spot in the Ag Shop at school. Wood shop room.

Bit #9
I have been to a bar, the unexciting part is I just went in for the sake of going in. The even more unexciting part: due to the change in my age occurring in about a month I will be the new kid that can buy beer for people, (won't, they know that too, but it doesn't mean they won't try and ask) have to be a designated driver for a few people this upcoming new years eve, or I could stick with my original plan and leave them there! haha, they know I would do it too.

Bit #10
The longest I have gone holding a grudge against someone and purposefully not talking to them, nor trying to contact them was almost 7 years.

If this isn't good enough for you CB I can do better I am sure, but you are going to have to prove that you can whoop me in pillow fight, or tackle me and make me eat manure first.

Stalking is bad

nobody like people that stalk, and everyone should stop stalking eachother. That is from my advise corner of the day.

to your left you will notice my Mary Kay Shrine. For some odd reason that nobody knows about, I stalk the mary kay people and obviously they like it. This entry today was mostly posted in honor of my stupidity in being suckered into buy things that I like and not that of which I need.

So I am standing here, watching carrie, chelsea and sara cuddle with eachother carrie's bed. Luckily for me, my bed remains to be taken and I think I am going to keep it that way. Oh the awkwardness of chlesea's arm being taken over by carrie. Why is it always a competition with chelsea? First she like's carrie more than I do, and now her wall is better than someone elses, what is up with that, ug, give it up. I wish they would stop squealing, it's creapy. Kinda like stalking. One time I was in the periodical section using one of the computers really fast, you know the ones on the oval tables and this kid sits down and starts making comments like, "oh finals" and he is talking to me, but I just gave him a pitty noise and got up to leave. So the kid stops me and asks me what my name is, and of course my last name and why would I be smart enough to not say anything, i was just being friendly. Anyway to make a long story short, he then proceeded to ask "don't you live south of campus?....aren't you in the 23rd ward?...like on 7th and 7th?....You study on the second floor every day isn't that right?" Needless to say I was creaped out and when I was like "well I have to go" he says where are you going? and I replied "uh... up to another floor or something and then I walked out to the big stairs pretended to do something with my bag, checked to see if he was following me and then booked it for the door. I have never ran so fast in my life. I hate stalkers, why can't everyone just stop stalking and cuddling and caressing around me, don't they know that I am lonely, while I prefer my space, it just reminds me how noboy really cares what I do on the weekends, if I date anyone, or that I am not the chosen one to sleep with in this freeking room!*

*all of this is said with a large smile on my face because of course I think my roomates are a hoot!

Where is that simple life of mine?

Obviously this has nothing to do with my blog, but, I like posting with pictures. For anyone that cares, and that probably isn't many, this is Isaac my cousin and we were just having fun with the camera.

I had the craziest day, some things are really too personal to share but I will tell you that I did two good deeds today, one being I found a lunchbox and as much as I thought it was AMAZING, I gave it to the lost and found and the other thing was I didn't run over they guy in the cross walk, when I could have, I held back.

I was able to meet up with my RA from freshman year, randomly. We had a really good time catching up and I went and I met her missionary that just came home about a month ago. It's weird to have seen a ton of pictures and now, there is a real person to that guy. Nicole and I had a really good chat. I have been struggling lately with decisions I never expected to have to make. While these aren't life changing, I have had to learn some extreme self control and I really have to concentrate to make sure that I am consistent with the way I have chosen to handle the situation. While Nicole didn't know it, she was an answer to many questions I didn't know I had. This is why I feel my life is so complicated because I feel like I am having to catch up to it.

Lately I have felt very ignorant. It has come to my attention that I need to pay attention. Lately I have taken the stance of "nobody else REALLY cares what I do so I am just going to do whatever and enjoy other people, but they are too involved in their own lives that it doesn't matter what I am doing. This is not a negative thing, I just figure that I am a hard person to really get to know because I have a hard time trying to get to know other people. It's so strange that I will tell pretty much anything about myself if you just ask me, but I normally won't ask you. For those that I do ask, and have taken the time-the very few, There just seems to be something about you that I can cling to, and I really can't pin-point what that is. I am working on it though I need to be better about getting to know people.

That's all she "croaked"
