YARG!!!

Ugh, so I'm really bad at posting. I never update my own, either. >_< I'm a terrible person.

So, um, yes! it was my birthday on Saturday the 26th of January, and yes, I'm a space and didn't write about it! Now I'm REALLY a terrible person... >.<

Okay, okay. It's now time for Saturday's events. Well, actually, I should let you know that my family picked up Cristal from American Fork on Friday night for simplicity's sake. Anyway, so on Saturday, once we got up to The Canyons, and the weather was PERFECT, literally perfect--little, to no wind; sun; comfortable temperatures. So as Cristal and I were riding up the Gondola, I talked to a guy from California (he was super cute, too. ^______^). Then we grabbed a table and hit the slopes. Cristal just needed a little improvement, so I helped that day with that. Then she ordered me to go do a run on my own while she rested, because she was getting kind of achy on her side. I decided to try the Terrain Park... Yeah, I really suck at it, but at least I try. >_<

When I went back to Cristal, we had lunch. She had brought a Cup of Noodles for me and herself, so we went to go fill them with hot water. Well, I looked at mine and I said, "Uuuh, this one looks like someone stabbed it with a fork. o_O" I just decided to try and eat it anyway--I could always grab a coffee cup and put it in there. Um... That didn't work. It ended up burning my hand. Oh, geez. We just ate hers and bought pizza, yum!

Anyway, we got back onto the slopes and then we started recording stuff. :) Yeah, I got some interesting stuff on film. Cristal falling, when I was talking about how I should have "accidently" caught the cute boy on film... Yup, that kind of stuff!

Again, she told me to go do a run alone. So as an obedient individual, I went! ^_^ I went down Silver Horse, and I met these HILARIOUS guys that were talking about how they were from Seattle (one of them had a Seahawks beanie, in which I replied "Go Seahawks!" He really didn't like them all that much, he just wanted to sport his city. :D), and then he kept cracking silly jokes like going down the mountains cutting down trees to keep from running into them (It's Machetti time!). Boy, it was great! Anyway, I went down and LOVED it, as always.

So I went back to Cristal and we snowboarded a little bit more before she ordered me to go on another run. So when I hopped on the ski lift, I went with this boyfriend and girlfriend couple. They were really cool. I was sitting next to the man so I mainly talked to him because the lady didn't say much (in fact, did she even say anything at all? I don't think so. o_O). But he was really neat! They were from California, and he asked me where I was from and if The Canyons was like my backyard, in which I replied, "Um, sort of... You could say that--I mean, I live in St. George, but it used to be when I still lived in Salt Lake." Then he asked me why I was up here and I said that I was up for Michele and Niall (I said cousin, just so you know.), and because it was my birthday. ^_^ He happily wished me a happy birthday! It was great. Anyway, I went down Silver Horse again and had a blast. Gosh, I love that run... ^______^ So since it connects to High Meadow, I was going down and I was like, "Oh, my gosh! What a coincidence, there's Cristal!" Yeah, I snowboarded next to her the rest of the run... It was rad.

Well, we needed to go, so I told her she could go on the Gondola and I would race her down to the bottom on my snowboard. And we were off! I get up the lift, I'm going down the run, I get through the steepest part and right after I went over some ice and fell. >.<>

We got back and got ready for the family party and then headed over there. Cristal and I walk into the kitchen and--as always--there was a mass of related bodies. O_O I introduced Cristal to everyone--not that she remembered most of their names, and they remembered hers... Meh--so we ate, and partied, and ate, and I got sung "happy birthday" to, talked in the "girl circle" in the front room... Yeah, it was great. Freakin' McKenna's such a hottie! All the boys will (and probably do already) chase after that girl. Looks like I'll have to take out the ol' baseball bat and fend off boys who get too close. *Sigh* I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles, eh?

All in all, it was a good day. ^_^

P.S. Yay! I posted, Celeste! ^___^

you've had a birthday, shout hooray!

Well, it's obvious to me that Megaroni is NEVER going to post.  

Never, ever, ever. 

So Megan, what's your excuse?

In other news... the other day was Megan's birthday.
She's fifteen. 
My sister is fifteen. 
How cool is that?!
Megan reminds me of being fifteen, and that was such a funny age.  I really hope she enjoys it. 

Happy birthday! I love you!

<3

what???

We have moved on from Muppet Treasure Island to bigger fish. 

Actually, bigger and badder things.

And when I say bad-er, I mean bad-er.  

We unknowingly rented a movie last night that showed boobs three times in the first four minutes.  Which, I think is a record for any non-porno movie.

Which makes me wonder.  Was it porno?

I hate nudity!
Er, within reason.  
I mean, I can't hate my own when I'm bathing and whatnot. 

But come on.  Nobody wants to see that. 
And if they do, then they will probably just go rent a porno movie. 
Or check the rating boxes for a nudity warning. 

Which this movie had no indication of. 

I'm pretty upset, I must admit. 

Anyway, I'm sorry Megan.  
I didn't mean to. 

:(

Muppet Treasure Island

Last night Celeste and I watched Muppet Treasure Island together. ^_^ It was so funny, and I had forgotten the comedy in the Muppets.

Celeste turned to me during the movie and she said, "You know, the director doesn't have to worry about the scenery and background looking fake, or being too over the top because half the cast are puppets!" It was awesome. And true. ^_^

The movie was really comical and I actually liked it. YAY FOR MUPPETS!

"I know for a fact that that boat is UNSAFE!"
hehehe, That's so rad.

voice concert.

Megan and I sang last night with our voice teacher, Terry.

It was great, and the seniors enjoyed it very much.

We enjoyed the seniors very much as well.

They are adorable, and they hold your hand when they talk to you. 
It's great.

a war of epic proportions.

Tonight, we were supposed to go to bed early because we've both been sick, and we both have a presidency meeting at the Bishop's house at eight in the morning.   

But we chose not to.

Instead, we listened to some Colloquial Mage and then came across two rubber bands in Celeste's room.  They were the good kind.  The biggish kind that stretch really far without breaking.  Yeah, that kind.  

Then it began.

The rubber band war that lasted twenty-five minutes, with only two rubber bands.  Our boundaries were clear, the stripes going across Celeste's bedspread defined our territories.  Megan was on the left side of the bed, with Celeste shooting at her from the right side.  Sometimes though, Megan was shooting at Celeste.  We weren't very good at keeping our ammunition in stock.  Call it impatience, call it having too good of a time, but we'll blame it on lousy government budgeting.  Celeste's "government" seemed to have done something right, she was placed in a base loaded with soft pillows, creating a nice stock of shields.  Megan was forced to resort to using local wildlife (our dog Zoe) as her protection.  Amazingly, that was the one time Celeste actually hit the target.  And sadly.  

But this one-on-one war called for an end. 

So, after an excruciating twenty-five minutes, we came to a truce.  No more violence, that we may have peace forever throughout the land.

The end. 


Love, 
the Girls

in essence, middle earth may die.

For the last week or so, our family has all been sick with some upper respiration thing and it has been no fun at all, as anyone could imagine.  Well, I decided that since I was going to spend all day in bed yesterday, that I would grab a few movies to watch as I laid there.  The ones I grabbed, as Megan pointed out to me, are all war movies.  Why did I choose them?  I can't say.  But for the last two days I have been watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy movies.  

Today, Megan joined me for the Two Towers, and we've sat in my bed laughing and making fun, being intensely grossed out, and even crying.  We handed out the "Cutest Baby" award to a little brown eyed, curly-haired little thing, and we have also compared the Orks [Orchs? Orx? Orcks? Oarcks? (question on the spelling there)] to many different farm and forest animals.  The comparisons have been with mostly ugly, stupid animals, too.  It's been great.  And, we've been humidifying, just like mother told us to!  Check us out.  

In other news, we've been going through a lot of nasal spray, and I've been eating a lot of chocolate.  I figure it will cure whatever I've got.  Yes!

MSN Conversations with Celeste.

Yesss!! I get first post! *Does first post dance* Well, besides the rules... but they don't count. *Continues dance*

Celeste and I seem to have a lot of MSN conversations with eachother... It's pretty geeky, but we do it anyway. >.>



Today's conversation is about handstands, Megan's handstands. ^_^ It started when I was being a jerk to Celeste. Here's a little snippet of how it began.



Megan:"WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO?!?!"

Celeste: "Of Montreal..."

Megan: "Shut it."

Megan: "hahaha, I'm sorry. I'm being a jerk."

Celeste: "Well, other than stating the obvious, what else can you do?"

Megan: "I can do a handstand..."



And so began the colloquy of my new job.
Celeste wanted to pay me to do 100 handstands for ten dollars at her "party" next week. (Ugh, what? Ten dollars?!) I wanted a raise and I threatened to quit, but Celeste begged me, stating that her guests would be disappointed. (Yeah, whatever... >.>) I stated again that I couldn't work for so little. Then she pulled out the questions "Are you a professional?" "Are you educated in hand-standing?" Psssh, of course I am! I spent three months in gymnastics, sheesh! So--of course--I said that I did. And she wanted documentation! Then I yelled (and I quote) "I DO GREAT HANDSTANDS!!!!!!!" so she said "I'm sure you do! That's why I want to pay you TEN DOLLARS for them!" I demanded eleven, and she wanted me to do 110! What?! I wanted a raise, not more work. -_- So she struck a deal: I get ten-fifty, and she throws in free refreshments. Sounded good to me--I didn't need to buy dinner, yessss... ^_^

Um... The end. ^_^ Yup, there isn't any more. Yay for pointless stories!
