By far the bestest Wednesday of the semester.

I really should not be blogging right now but instead should be-- drawing/painting/SLEEPING/dying. But i had a really good day so i must blog and not break my habbit. :D

First off {the bad part of the day} I slept zero hours last night. Honestly. I tossed and turned and then tossed some more. Poor Betsy, she probably got waaay less sleep last night because of me squeaking the bed and such. {sorry moo... i mean Betsy :P} Anyways i decide to get up an hour early cause i couldn't sleep anyways and to get to the photo lab and work on stuff before class started/before Taylor got here. But all the developer was gone, and the powder stuff to make new developer was locked up and so there i sat in the photo lab for an hour doing nothing of worth. I'm trying sooo sooo hard to get ahead and finish all my portfolio before no test week and nothing is working in my favor. *sigh* It's fine, i know things will work out. note to self- Don't give up, have more faith. Okay i'm good now.

Anyways, i came home and then Taylor got here! woohoo! He came with a gift for betsy- a cow mug that is standing on 4 utters. {this is a long story, one that i am too tired to write about right now. If you want to hear about it leave me a comment and i'll tell it tomorrow} Anna and Brian, and Melissa and greg and Betsy and i went to the Bluebird restaurant for lunch. It was good and i had leftovers {score! no cooking dinner tomorrow! :P} the best part of this was A-betsy "spilling" her butter and ice water so she had to move seats, and B- Greg, Taylor and Brian trying to figure out what "LMH" is.

After that Taylor wanted to drive to the temple and walk around. to which we walked around at least twice. it was pretty fun. He wanted a picture but his camera was dead which means i have all the pictures which in return means that i can do with them as i please. ;) haha. I sang him the song You're So Vain because he wanted lots of pictures of himself. I told him they'd end up on facebook. But here are only 2. and i'm in 1 of them. So i am being nice. Especially because he looks drugged in one of them. lol

i'm sorry but this is a legit picture. {and i'm a big fan of his orange socks}

here is we.

#1 thing Taylor said here- "it's just so big!" haha.

Well then i took him around campus and showed him the big things. {i'm pretty sure he's going to come up to school here now because i'm that persuasive lol. :P} Then he met Laurenita. Showed him the art building and then i had to go to my class. Which was SOOOOO pointless. All we did was watch a long movie on Alfred Stieglitz. And don't get me wrong, i love the man and his photographs are pretty epic, but i learned all about him in high school.

*****cue goodnews***** confession- I Brianna, the one with blue eyes and brown hair, have never ever ever fallen asleep in any class ever. Not in preschool, not in grade school, not in jr high, not in high school, not in college.

that is- until TODAY!!!!!! this is not a joke. In all seriousness. I have the inability to fall asleep when people are watching me/when a teacher is teaching/ being at a table with chairs/ in a classroom setting. But i totally fell asleep today during that uberly boring movie! When i woke up i honestly felt like doing a dance. I just needed some good music and i would have. Betsy was so proud of me! I was so proud of me. And then the heavens cried snowflakes of happiness for me.

only i wish i wouldn't have made them cry, Because it was such a nice day today and i highly doubt Taylor enjoyed driving home in it. In fact, he told me himself like 40 cajillion times. lol

The group went to wendy's and then to Aggie ice cream where i semi found out what conversations went on in my apartment while i was in class. Which still makes me on the nervous side of the spectrum....and at this point i felt like dying.

So i came home, took some drugs, and put sweats on and Betsy's rainboots. I don't know why this has anything to do with anything else in this post but it made me happy. :D

It was an all around wonderful day.

and here are two funny quotes that i heard from my roommates while writing this blog. I do it because i love them.

While studying for a genetics test in Biology Betsy said,

"the only useful thing i have learned in biology is why i can't marry my cousins."

After coming home from work and talking about all the mistakes she made today Melissa said,

"and.... i think i broke an egg..... but i didn't check to see if i did...."

And now Brianna is going to repeat one letter 100 times {and yes there are really one hundred.... but you should count just to make sure i'm not lying.}

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Not doing anything i need to do.

Good news! I got to take a nap today! I haven't taken a nap in..... probably 5-6 days.....so obviously it felt wonderful. :D

Here is a list of things i had planned to do today-

• print 2 11x14 prints in darkroom
• start researching for my science report
• talk to a business advisor about my minor in entrepreneurship
• start my larger than life charcoal drawing.
• do my homework painting
• call my married sister
• paint my nails
• apply for more jobs

here's what i did instead-

• took a nap
• did the dishes
• cleaned the kitchen and bathroom floors
• vacuumed
• thought about doing homework
• didn't call ash cause we're out of minutes
• found a very high potential second part time job for the summer
• watched she's the man {a bi-montly must that we've missed the last TWO months of doing!}.....
• and the happiest millionaire.
• went to Taco tuesday.
• talked with Melissa on facebook chat while she sat next to me.
• we quoted she's the man quotes and busted up laughing and confused a lot {just gregory peck} of people.
• confused Greg about what LMH is. {i just love LMH.} Thank you to Melissa for telling me about this. it is the best thing i've ever learned from college. {just so you know}
• blogged this very here blog.

so while i was eating my dollar and a half taco at Cafe Ri0 Gregory Peck said the weirdest thing i've ever heard someone say randomly. I don't think it is appropriate for my blog not that it was too terrible. {i try to keep it rated PG because who knows who's reading this}.... I just don't understand some things boys say..... okay most of what they say.

I am trying to figure out what classes will fit in my schedule around my crazy and ridiculously loooooooooong studio art classes. here are my choices- Law and politics [{which honestly i would LOVE to take.... call me crazy} but i looked up the professor on this website and everyone says that he is a devil professor. So that one is out. i've learned that the professor makes or breaks the class.] Medical sociology {psh! no way jose cakes}, Family Financeintroduction to global economic institutions and business Environment {ummm.....where do i even start with this one? what does that sentence of a class mean??}. Those classes fit in my schedule and cover my depth social science classes. Family Finance it is. ugh.

you must read the comments about this professor. it makes me soooo happy. :D

here are a few of them.

"None are worthy to bask in the warm glow of our hero Dr.Ballam. He spent a good

deal of the class telling stories of how he raised the dead with this melodious voice."

"Most of his lectures are spent bragging about his famous friends, how many places

he's lived in, and how much he's accomplished in his life. He breaks out into song

every 5 minutes, and spends most of the semester talking about himself"

"If you don't mind frequent impromptu performances from the wide

world of musical theater, you'll be fine."

it is definitely worth a laugh.

Anyways, I have good news! My friend Taylor is coming to visit me tomorrow!!! And i'm skipping 2 of my 3 classes. heheh. {that is how i type my smug version of my laugh.}

I couldn't find this one song on youtube or ANYWHERE for that matter so melissa sent me the song over email from her itunes and i made it into a video because i can't figure out how to insert songs on blogger..... {does anyone know how to do this task??} so after i made a video out of it i tried to upload it. in fact i tried it three different times exporting it in different ways. So i decided to upload it to youtube and then give ya'll a link. But i didn't have a youtube account so i had to make one. And then i uploaded it to you tube. and now i have a link for you here. You people better appreciate the hard work i went to. just sayin. I think it was worth it though. :D

your welcome.

-Bri

creepers and lots of numbers.

So my friend Lauren dubbed the first week of April as "Creeper week."

What this entails-

• stalking people on Facebook and then memorizing their birthday and hometown and random info about them and then telling them you know it.
• read their life story on blogger
• follow them around campus
• text them non stop and say creepy things to them
• ask lauren for others, she could tell you.

"why is there a creeper week?" i have absolutely no idea! i still haven't done anything creepy yet.... But lauren is freakin' good at it. And she has already gotten like 5 dates out of it too! What a woman.

anyways. There is this video that her friend posted on her wall in honor of Creeper week. Lauren isn't this creepy, but she might be by the end of the week. you can view it in all of it's glory here and less of a funny one here.

here is my favorite creeper line from a movie, "I see you through your window,..... when i'm standing in a tree outside!"

name that movie!

In honor of creeper week they were giving out free pizza at the TSC. Just kidding, it wasn't in honor of creeper week. But Lauren and i decided that it should have been. It was in honor of "unpluggled" week. Which i kinda thought meant like unplugging your stuffy nose or unplug your cell phone, or even un plug your straightener or toaster week, but apparently that wasn't it. It's "unplugging" from social media {AKA facebook, blogger, twitter, and what other else things there are} I for one would prefer my choices. wouldn't it be more fun to see people with healthy noses, not talking on the phone with frizzy hair that are hungry? It'd be a whole lot funnier than not getting to read clever status updates and you guys not being able to read my blog! :D

Anyways, i'll keep you posted if i do anything creeper ish this week.

here's the count-

25 days till i am moving back to utah county for summer

14 class days.

1 test

1 final {to all you suckers who have to take finals in all your classes!! bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. okay i'm done now. the joy of being an art major}

1 poster presentation

3 paintings and a master painting

2 drawing and a master drawing

1 15 piece photography portfolio
2 days till Taylor comes!

fall class registration

find another part time job to go with the one i have/ full time job {preferable}

buy a car. {does anyone know of a good car with good gas mileage that's around 2-3000 dollars? this would be helpful} :D

i hate boys. and girls. no, just girls that like the boys i hate.

hahahha. so my roommate Melissa and i were talking about guys today (SHOCKER) haha. and started talking about all the girls that try to steal the guy's hearts that we like.

(but for the record i don't like anyone right now.)

{okay that was a lie. But i'm trying NOT to like this guy. because he's not good for me. and he lives forever away from Logan.}

anywho. she randomly said. "i hate boys..... and i hate girls."

and i said, "no, you just hate girls that like the boys you hate." makes sense right? we sure thought so.

and then i ate some ice cream. good story right?

And Taylor called me on the phone. We talked for a while. 

So interesting thing i found out yesterday. If all you eat is trout and apple peels then you will die. why you may be asking? because it takes more energy to digest those two foods than you get from eating them. I'm not entirely sure how true that is, but that's the rumor going around my apartment. haha

i hate thursday nights. stupid BC classes. ugh.

i'm gonna go paint my nails while participating in "i hate scratchy sock night." or "i hate the color purple night" or "i hate boys night."

WAIT!!!! i saw TANGLED!!!! and it was SOOOOOOOO cute! i nearly died from the thought of almost living my life and never seeing it.

and then after the credits Betsy thought that Repunzel had a tan line. But we rewinded it and there wasn't even a picture at the end. we all think she was seeing things. but she was like obsessed with finding the picture. so she ended up googling images from it and found the picture. and guess what?!- the "tan line" was just a shadow from her other leg. hahhaha. she was so upset. we all laughed our pants off. :D

okay now i'm done.

"things" that i absolutely love

My camera (whom i have now named Donald because it's a D60) :D He is a beauty! And has helped me improve my photography SOOOO much. I love you Donald. you will always be my number one.... until i can get a new and improved you. (D3X i really really really really really really really neeeeeed you someday.) {this is not a joke}

My CTR ring- Quinton bought it for me for Christmas. :D

My Laptop- my macbook pro. She's pro.... at pretty much everything.

this song- "Lead kindly light" go to itunes type this in, then go find the one by Marshall McDonald (you can't find it by googling it). I want to learn it on the piano. :D Thanks Taylor for having this song playing in your car when i took it on a "joy ride" across the parking lot. I love this song now even more!

these movies-

i love metallic eye shadow

I love looking at diamond rings (even though i'm not getting one any time soon)

i really like those right now.

i like the color orange. and orange nail polish. it makes me look more tan.

i LOVE ice cream. especially mint chocolate chip. but lately i've been a fan of chocolate based ones. Oh my heavens and how can i forget Aggie blue mint and lemon custard??

I'm also a big fan of flats.

I think this is good enough for now. :D

loving life because

• i can now say that i have traveled in a car at more than 100 MPH. in fact is was more than 125 MPH. And i thought i was going to die. Funny thing is, Greg, (Melissa's friend who's now all of our friend) passed a police officer right when we got back down to the normal speed limit. He thinks it's hilarious to scare us. I can only handle driving with him once a month i've decided. my poor heart.

• We went the entire year (again) at the spectrum with ZERO loses. :D that's right. It's good to be an Aggie. 4 years WAC champions.

• But even better was that i got to meet (and he touched me :D) Matthew Formisano. It was MORE than a big deal. I've been drooling over him all season. and good news number two! i got a picture with him. It's fine, he's like 18 inches taller than me. i told my mom this and this was her reply, "well at least you could check for lint in his belly button." thanks mom, way to be positive there. :D if only he knew how much i loved him. :'(

• I finally got all my mat board for the semester. It's only like 3 dollars every picture. There's something about the photo department thinking i am rich or something. News flash, because of you i'm not even close to it!
• I got ash's wedding announcement in the mail today.

• i finished another wedding announcement file today. I can whip those bad boys out like it's nobodies business!
• Anna get's married this week and i get to do some temple pictures for her!
• I get to go home on saturday!!
• and get to hang out with Taylor again! woot! Probably one of the funnest guys i know. :D
• In exactly 1 week i will be in California. and going to the beach, and to the Price is Right, and to Hollywood, and to the Getty Museum of Art. and staying in Beverly Hills. :D it will be a party in California.
• Taco tuesday is. TONIGHT! wooohooo! i just love taco tuesday! :D
• I'm taking ash's bridals at this place. isn't it awesome!!!?! (jealous much) i would be if i were you.

• My painting class was canceled all but an hour on thursday.

and drawing 2 was completely canceled! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Cannot even explain to you how exciting this is to me.

My name is Brianna and I'm just kinda feelin good about life right now. :D

and so it goes from 10 to 11
