This is what goes down in my dorm room on a Wednesday night.... My roommate is a photography major, and she had to do a 5 picture story. She decided that Meryl (girl in nightgown) should come out of the closet (meryl's a ghost, FYI), and kill Ankit, the student at the desk. I told her to turn the tables around though for a twist, and make him actually defend himself against her, so untypical of a horror movie! It was hilarious to watch, and I was quite a disruption to the 'shoot'. I originally took these to show Meryl I could be sneaky too (She's all about being sneaky and people not knowing her whereabouts) and she had no idea i was taking a video. So here's a video from tonight! Hopefully not completely stupid...
Well, it's almost the weekend, which means its THAT much closer to Halloween! I feel sad; typically, Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year other than Christmas. This year, I was so busy that Halloween just sort of snuck up on me Good news though: my creepiest, loveable friends in the world Haley & Jennie are coming here for Halloween! I will have to find something for all of us to do. Tyler and I are going to go as Dexter and one of the victims, but I am not sure if I want to walk around in shrink wrap all night, yeah? What is everyone being for Halloween? I'm curious! I also might need a "children friendly" costume as well for my volunteering at the Phoenix Symphony, so I would love any and all suggestions.

The 19th Wife
So the MSN home page has these random slideshows about different topics, and I came across one about polygamy. It then lead me to read about Ann Eliza Young, the 19th wife of Brigham Young (the 2nd most famous Mormon leader, or something like that). She wrote a book which I think its like an exploitation of the late 1800's and what the Mormon women of her time were going through. I'm only a couple pages deep, but it's already intriguing. It's about 650 pages long online, so I always have the window open on my computer or in a link. If anyone wants to read it, here's the link

I'm excited to read this, and hopefully I'll be more educated on the subject of polygamy instead of false notions that I think I have, or who knows maybe they aren't false? Hm...
Anyway, I always love a good non-fiction intrigue.

Tucson Weekend!
I can't BELIEVE my sister is now 21. It's surreal, actually. I mean, I remember when she turned 7 and we were in Disneyworld, and I was 4. I remember she and I were each other's portal to a complete different imaginative world. We played every game together around the house, and made a game out of just about everything. We would wake up what seemed like 5 in the morning, and go right to playing barbies or beanie babies. Those toys did everything with us at the time- When we were ready to eat breakfast, they were at the table with us, and we'd act like our toys were at a lunch date or something. When we watched t.v., it was like the toys were going to the movies together. I mean, eventually that stopped which made me sad (when she got older and became busier), so I just stopped playing with them, too. Who would I play with? Just alone?
Anyway, just a tangent on how this weird feeling that I'm dwelling on that I decided to share. Happy birthday to my 21 year old sister, Michelle. Wow.
I can't imagine how I'll feel when she turns 40- haha!
On a happier note, it was a fun celebration at Carraba's. Many girls from her sorority Tri Delta came, and it was funny to see how these sorority girls actually act. I know this is wrong of me and quite a generalization to say "these sorority girls", but hey. At least I realize what I'm doing. Anyway, they are all so bubbly. Loud, and yes, even the "Oh my god, I know" 's. It was fun though. It's weird.. Even though I am sortof poking fun at them right now, I could see myself being friends with those girls. Yeah, they're extremely girly and some are a bit air-heady, but they are very friendly, and sororities are meant to make lifelong friendships. I'm glad my sister joined one, considering her first year of college she didn't even stay in the dorms so she didn't get to socialize and acquire many friends. And wow of all the days... my sister is extremely sick on her 21st birthday. Of all 365 days out of the year, it has to be her most important birthday. She "stuck through" the dinner as long as she could, and decided to leave early with Shane. Poor thing.
That night, I got to hang out with my two friends from high school -Maddie and Elyse who I missed and haven't gotten to hang out with in a while. We went to a party, and I got to see someone I hadn't seen in probably 2 years who I went to school with, Sandy. It was so weird! He grew like a foot, and his voice was deeper, and, well that's really all I can say I guess haha. I love seeing old friends. When we came back to Elyse's dorm room at around 3, we decided to play "big booty" even though we were not in a serious state of mind hahah! Then we somehow began playing "truth or dare" which basically just evolved into just "truths". Purely sexual questions, haha.
the nightlife is so much better in Tempe, and has more of a city feel. the campus at ASU is just a lot nicer looking. It isn't deserted like the UofA campus was, and there are more people around. I'm not saying this in means of partying or anything; hey- UA is a bigger party school than ASU (which I also take pride in because I have noticed especially the arts people aren't like huge huge partiers.) but I'm just saying people "out & about" wise. I'm not saying I don't love UofA's campus because I think it's beautiful, especially the main strip of grass area.
My weekend was good, and I missed my family a lot, and being able to hang out with them all at the same time. I've been trying to watch what I eat a lot more lately, considering I'm already beginning to gain weight (all I do is stay in the dorms and study!), so I'm trying to eat healthier. I'm not going to go anorexic or anything, I just have to lose some junk in the trunk..the dips in my hips...
Well, I'm off to practice now

Terribly forgotten- KISS!
I never included pictures from the Kiss concert my dad took me to - How forgetful.
Here's a few of the fun concert - we sat 2nd row center!

p.s: As you can tell, I'm doing a little more updating on my blog since I have the time...

Visitors of Friday
On friday, I got an absolutely lovely and fun-filled visit from my two good friends Haley and Jennie (who also blog and are followers of mine as well) - I missed them so much! I hope they visit more often, and I also hope sometime very soon in the future, that I can go visit them at NAU!
We met up on Mill Avenue at Urban (of course..) and then ate at Jimmy John's, a personal favorite of mine - I recommend everyone and ANYONE try it!!!
After eating, we went back to my dorm where we were just absolute sillies for an hour or so.
This is just some pictures from their visit here..
