Adventures of finals week

gee whilackers there's been A LOT going on! yesterday night was quite possibly the funniest night of my life.

tara played with my hairs. and did some pretty sweet stuff with it!

then betsy decided she wanted to take dexter on a walk. so she made him a leesh. Tara held him while she tried to put it on him and he just slipped right out of it and then he threw up!!!! it was so so so gross! and his up chuck was whole pieces of his food! That kid needs to learn how to chew. here is a picture of it.


can you believe that tiny sexy dexy could throw that much up!??

Taco tuesday was soo good.
"they're both men." "well.... sorta." hahaha.


after this Betsy and Melissa decided they wanted to go to walmart and buy hair dye. So now, they both have darker hair. Our walmart adventure was great.
lauren- "where the heck is fred!!? i just need some big cereal boxes! ***pace pace pace pace**** jordans here!!"
Betsy- "I don't care if they're the sport kind! i just need them small!!!"
Melissa- "don't tell them it's your stuff! it's mine i get a discount!!!!"
me-"Why the heck did we not get a basket? my arms are going to fall off!"

the way home was the most epic part of the whole night though! i called shot gun, and then betsy stole it so i sat on her lap. And then Lauren thought she was missing out and so she climbed in on top. so here we are, 3 full grown girls, all piled into the little front seat. And so of course there wasn't anything better to do than take pictures. haha here are some of them-
the roof of cars isn't high enough to get good above pictures. but there is one left eye one right eye and a nose and mouth. so together we have a whole face here.



and then lauren dyed Melissa's hair and i did Betsy's.

here is Melissa's before


and Betsy's before-
isn't she a babe??

and here is their after
aren't they hot sexy mama's??

then today, i had my final critique!!! and good news! i had the best critique of my life! I haven't really had an awful awful one before, but mine today was crazy! I had no idea that they would think my nature work was "strong". i told them that most of my work is portrait and i was in new territory with the things i did this semester and that i wanted to go back to portrait work. they asked me why i did because my work was really good from landscape/nature/stuff. I was SO worried about the critique because i've seen everyone else's work in the class and they are ALL so amazing! I guess i was being a little harsh on myself??..... It's still like this daze 'cause i had no idea anyone thought it was that good. Especially my dark room stuff.

Then i came home and packed. And all my pictures and decorations are off my walls. :'( it's so sad!! I'm nearly done packing now too. so that's good.

And then I decided i'd finally suck it up and get the hair cut i've been wanting to try for a year. And so i cut my hair off!!
before. my hair!!!

I once was a mermaid club member. no longer.
at this point i think i was scared for my life. remember- i have a terrible phobia of getting my hair cut!!
i LOVE my bangs. but i wish my hair was just a little longer. But it'll grow. her tis. i'm in a tshirt cause i was packing so i'm not really that pretty in it, but i'm fine with it.


and this is the pile of my hair. RIDICULOUS!! haha.

and here i am.
i really like it. it'll take time to get used to though that's for sure!

hopefully tonight we are going to howl at the library. i'll let you know what that is tomorrow. stay tuned. :D

pretty pictures and captions

I finished my painting today! and i finished my final in drawing! { This means the only class i have stuff left in is Photo 2!!} here they are-

i'm pretty sure i want to make wallpaper out of this. I'm pretty stoked about how it turned out.
this is a close up of the design i made for the background on each color of square.


color palette for the sunflower painting.
final painting.
close up so you can see how thick the paint is.
This is how i paint. i take over the whole table and have to get in the zone. And then i paint so much i lose track of time. It's bizarre. i never thought that would happen to me with painting. I mean when i go on photo shoots i always lose track of the time, but it's weird that it happened with painting too. Never has happened with drawing. I am hyper aware of time with drawing. i HATE drawing.
this is my first drawing, first day of college.



this person {who i am still unsure if it was a guy or girl... but leaning toward guy...} knew every song of sean's and recorded himself singing ever song. I had more fun watching him than the actual concert. It was pretty darn entertaining. haha. and lauren was crepin' on him.
those two ladies were my favorite. it was hilarious! they were waaaay older than the average person there and they were borderline obsessed with mr k.
pet peeve- when people try to be funny in the picture you're taking.
I really like this one of us. {ash, me, betsy, tara}
and then there were random fireworks..... sorry for the cruddy picture.

i don't think that the concert was worth the money that the university paid for it. the only part that was good was the "fire burnin" song.

i'm sorry i am on the dull side today.

someone please press the play button on the hallelujah chorus!

I have moved up in the world! I no longer will ever have to go to a drawing or painting class again! I am on to much bigger and better things {i.e. photography and graphics} :D :D This is where it's at. I had no idea that i had it in me to get through them, but i did it! Who knew that i cold draw like Degas and paint like Van Gogh???..... well sorta.... i could barely draw a stick figure in a dress before and now i can draw/paint things that look normal to life! if i can dig up my drawing from my first day of college i will post it so you can see how cruddy i was compared to my "averageness" now.

this is my Van Gogh painting. {i'm not done, but pretty close}

i think it resembles the original-
remember that i'm not done yet....

i have to move in 9 days... :'( i am going to miss school and logan and my apartment and friends SOOOOO much! i want August to be here already.....and May hasn't even started yet.... this is worse than my senioritis was last year.

so i was going to put the title of my blog as "Idgit" {or a simpler definition would be-boys} in honor of Melissa. haha. We decided that each of the roommates have things that we always say and we kind of have stolen from each other. Mine is "Rude" {betsy says that i say it uhRUDE! [or i guess aaaarude] with a little uh or something like that before it haha} and Betsy's is "seriously" or "it's fine". and Ashley's is "i like it!" {but she says it, "iiiiiiaaaaalikeit!" all in one syllable. haha} and since Anna was a roommate too hers was, "i'm in a weird mood". we're kind of legit roomies. I'm gonna miss them.....like a dog. haha. we have a note on the fridge that anna left that says, "i miss you! (like a dog)" inside joke :)

here is a fabulous picture that lauren put up on FB today that was from forever ago. and i think we are all babes in it

they were war head pops so they were sour! I'm currently debating whether to put this as my profile picture or not.......yeah? no? i love these two. I have the world's best friends.

So i've noticed that my journal entries have gotten seriously shorter in length since i started blogging more often..... This is not good. My journal probably thinks i hate it. So i A-need to stop blogging so i can write better in my journal for my posterity or something like that, or B-need to print out my blog posts and tape them into my journal with a cool color of duct tape because my grandma taught me that there was no other tape than duct tape. i'll let you know how my endeavors go.

Annnnnyways. i'm going to bed. gotta get me some more dark room time in tomorrow morning before the sean kingston concert here at USU. be jealous, cause i know ya'll are. :D

your favorite Brianna,
Brianna.

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

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

Nude man, eating slugs, first win, fun weekend.

Man, i have all sorts of stories for ya'll!! A couple days ago i went to these people's house and played garage band. And i can play the guitar on medium now! {this is impressive- i stinketh at all video games! give me a break okay? lol} Anyways i was sick of being there and we were leaving!!! so i go up the stairs and there is this naked man. naked man, "i hope you guys don't mind my nakedness." betsy, "oh, it's fine...." me, "this is so not fine!!". Okay, he was in boxers.... but they were awfully tight and short boxers. and then i walked out the door before i could see anything else i DID NOT want to see. Can i just tell you that this was an awkward moment! if i had an awkward moments journal this would so make it. {why don't i have an awkward moments journal?!?! } Lizzy walks down stairs and tells everyone that there is a naked man in the living room. and they said, "oh, he's naked again?" like it's a common occurrence in the house for him to be COMPLETELY nude?!?!?! some people's children.
I was sitting on the couch today watching "the prince and me". {Because that movie is cute! how does one go about finding an attractive Denmarkian {man from Denmark of course...} prince??? Anyways... when my roommate Ashley says, "i had a dream about you last night." so she tells me about how there was this clear-ish slug on her basement wall of her house and how i ate the slug! and then there were more and more of them and i just kept eating them..... haha. How do our brains even come up with this stuff?
Last sunday i was taking a nap in between conference sessions and Melissa was doing something in her closet. her closet is connected to Betsy and i's wall where we have our pictures of Christ and the temples and other such spiritual stuff. Anyway she hit the wall hard enough that 3 of our pictures flew off the wall and made me nearly fall off my bed! Which brings me to this morning. We have a full length mirror on one of our walls and this morning it decided it didn't like being on the wall anymore! So once again i have a heart attack because the heavy, large mirror comes tumbling down to the ground and bounced like 3 times! I still am in complete aww as to how it didn't shatter. I think we had an earth quake here or something. Anyways, i think that next my ceiling will fall down. If i stop blogging ever you will know that this is what happened.
Tonight we planned a surprise birthday party for Lauren. :D We were trying to figure out how to get her here with out being super suspicious. And so we go pick her up and go to wendy's instead of straight to my apartment. Lauren asked the drive thru guy if he'd tell her happy birthday and he sang her happy birthday instead!! It was seriously the cutest thing! And then he gave her this fancy smchancy strawberry shake thing FOR FREE!! i think every saturday is going to be someones birthday and guess where we're going?!?! WENDYS! Forget chuckie cheese and riding the bull thing at texas roadhouse when you have an attractive wendy's employee sing to you!
{"can you just suck my cherry off for me?!" haha}
classic.
we played some serious wii dance tonight too! and guess what?!?!? I WON MY FIRST EVER GAME OF IT! it was a time for celebration. i think my luck with electronic video game device shin digs is seriously increasing!
Lizzy gave her this.
this is lauren blowing out a lighter because we didn't have candles.
And here is another funny Youtube video. I am going to join this choir when i reach seniorhood/retirement. I think that i am grateful for people who have creative minds. Because it keeps me entertained when i just don't feel like doing my homework. {mom- that was a joke. i still do my homework first. Always. :D}
I was so excited to go to my own singles ward today! It has been five weeks! :D i missed them. i hope my ward this summer is as great.

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

no, i do not wish for all vegan food on campus!

item numbero uno- my. BFA. Review./interview. shin dig. thing. is. DONE!!!!!!! it is a beautiful thing. And surprisingly i think i did really well. Like the professor said some really good things about my portfolio. he said that i have a really unique design style that he said was good. :D yay! uniqueness! so, glad that that is over with. Hopefully i will get in this year so i don't have to do it next year.

item numbero dos- i gave into peer pressure. :( here i was at the library minding my own business writing my report on the cyanotype process for photo history class. My laurenita was next to me watching the notebook (i believe) when this hippie-like lady walks up to us and shoves 2 really sharp and hard clipboards at us. And then says "have you peopleages signed this yet?" i said what the heck is it for?". she says it's to get all eating establishments on campus to go with all vegan food. ummm........ no offense to all of you non meat gnawing/dairy drinking/yogurt chugging/ deliciousness eating people who call themselves vegans, but i do not wish to eat only vegan food when i need a snackage on campus. {i mean, a scotsman dog just would not be the same without real meat and cheese. and those things are apart of the aggie tradition here in logan.} but here i am staring at the paper while miss hippie vegan is giving me the look of death and i sign the paper. BUT heres the good news. i put a fake signature and fake email address down..... so does this still count as giving in to peer pressure? i mean, i didn't do drugs or get drunk or anything so it's fine right?..... whew, what a relief.

swing dancing last night was the bombdiggity. we walk in to the "fun park" {which by the way does not sound fun.... i mean it kinda reminds me of the name loony bend. if it's really that much fun why do they have to have it in the title? you'd think people would know it's fun if it really is. I am now going to start a petition, like the vegan girl did, to change the name from "fun park" to something more unique like- cool park, or awesome possum park.} and there were very few }in comparison to other times i have gone} people {which includes the population of cowboys}. but, i did notice this nice looking guy and thought to myself, "self, i would like to dance with that attractive guy at some point in this night." i mentioned this to betsy and she said "then ask him to dance!"
but did i? NO!
why? because he asked a girl every dance!
so i was just standing there not really thinking of anything in particular when out of nowhere mr tall, pale, and attractive asks me to dance.
coincidence? i think Betsy paid him. jk jk
he was uber {really} nice. and wasn't the best at country swing but hey! neither am i. so we got to talk more. and did i mention that he was nice. well me being the lame sauce un brave girl that i can be didn't get his number. haha {not that i would have even if i was un brave cause i talked to him for one dance. but still}.
the second part to this story is better. there was this guy that kept walking back and forth and betsy kept staring at him. She's obsessed to the max with black guys and he was just that. so while betsy is making googly eyes at him i tell her that she should ask him to dance. to which she begins to reply, "no" but is interrupted when he comes up and asks her to dance. i thought she was going to hyperventilate/pass out/die/have a heart attack all at the same time. but she succeeded in dancing and now she can check off "dance with a black man" off her bucket list. haha
the other funny story. Melissa was dancing and the guy dipped her and she dips, he says dip lower, she does, he drops her and they both fall to the ground. hahahahaha! i heard the story, wish i could have witnessed it but i still think it is just about the best country swing dance story i've heard. i mean, besides all the stories about everyone and their dog finding their eternal companions there... but ya know? i prefer funny to sappy in this instance.

well i am going to go and continue doing pretty much nothing of usefulness since i am a good girl and have all my homework done. :D
since i have no pictures for you today i will share another funny video with you. you can locate it here. and here is another favorite brought to you from me who received it from my hermano Quinton.

can we say RANDOM?!




long time no blog......
Ashleigh is married!!!!
is we not a cute two?

in other news- my boogers are no longer purple. repeat- NO LONGER purple. :D
from the festival of colors ya psycho paths! i wouldn't normally post about purple boogers.... okay i probably would..... :P



and now you know why i would mention this. right? next year we are buying the real indian chalk because it is much brighter. :D When you are in the middle of the crowd during a power throw you can a- hardly breathe. b-can't see even 2 feet in front of your face. c- get claustrophobic. d- have the time of your little life! :D
it's fine i just felt like i was running down the streets of new york after 9/11 happened. that's kinda the best analogy i can come up with. except... that probably wouldn't be fun.

nest item of ward business- my BFA (bachelor of fine art) photography review is TUESDAY!!!! nope, not the end of April like my professor originally told me. so i come to class on monday (late because i felt like letting my body rest an extra 45 minutes) {i looked like a man. don't worry about it} and there are big signs all over the art building telling me that it is tuesday!!!! as if i don't have enough to worry about right now.
So i ordered my digital prints from all the shoots i've done this semester. And now i am in the process of moving my bed into the wet dark room. Because i'm living there. (in fact right now i am waiting for my prints to be done getting their archival bubble bath. :D)
But because i have to get so much of my portfolio done for the review i will have much less to do for the final portfolio due the first monday of May. :D

i took my second midterm for early photo history today. and good news- i'm pretty sure i got at least a b+. but i'm not gonna say that because then i'll fail. So i'm gonna use reverse psychology and say i failed. (and i should end up with an A) RIGHT?!

bahahahhahaha!!!! so the maintenance guy (he's hispanic) is singing really loudly to his mariachi music while sweeping the photo lab floor. I love life.

Next item stake (because it doesn't involve me) business- my dear friend Laurenita Leigh is applying to the interior design program and her application and stuffs are due on friday. and pretty dang certain that she will get in. Even though it is ridiculously hard. Like probably harder than getting into the photo program. GO LAURENITA!!!!

okay i'm bored of this. Actually my prints are just done so bye bye. :D

just for your enjoyment. cause i love you. all two of you that read this. :P

waiting for my gesso to dry



I have been painting for way way too long. but good news! I'm done with another one!
her 'tis.


Last night was a blast! Logan got 18 inches of snow in the last 2 days!
so Lauren and Betsy and i went to Old main Hill and went sledding on cookie sheets and we also found some broken abandon sleds. So of course we used them. (We're thrifty poor college children!) :D So here is a list of the pros and cons of sledding from last night
pros-
  • it was a blizzard and the snow was like the best powder known to Logankind.
  • we made snow angels
  • betsy built a jump, "give us a break! How are we supposed to know how to build jumps? we come from one brother families! some of us don't have a million little brothers!" - lauren and I
  • We watched some guys tire tube pop right under him. and then betsy flirted with him.. and we didn't even have to bribe her with money this time!
  • when Betsy came down the hill once Lauren and I through cookie sheets of snow at her. and then she tried to chase us and then she kept slipping. :D
  • And Betsy slips more than the average person does.
  • We saw people mattress surfing down Old Main!
  • The temple looked really pretty in the snow
  • i got this one phone call.... :D
  • Betsy flirt texted. haha... i might have too.... okay i totally did. :D
  • we got into snow past our knees. It was funny to watch in.
  • by the time we got home we had two inches of snow on top of our heads!
  • we watched the A team after.
  • We made homemade potato chips!
cons-
  • i lost my keys in the snow. :'(
  • We went to look for them but there was no such luck
  • since we didn't have keys we had to break into our house. good thing betsy is so good at being a burglar...
  • Our back ends froze.
  • My legs have never been so red in all my life.
  • and the warm shower i took after (it was barely warm water) hurt so bad!
  • our entry way looks like a tornado hit from all our wet snow gear.
  • Lauren's mascara was running down her face from the snow. (funny though!)
  • i got zero amount of homework done....
  • we stayed up waaaay too late!


So i think my gesso is dried now.
until we meet again.
