Really Lame Lyrics

So Jesse McCartney has this song "Body Language," that I've been hearing on the radio lately. Sounds awesome doesn't it? It's pretty dumb actually.
I just wanted to point out one thing. In his song "Leavin'" he has a line that goes a little something like this: "that thing you've got behind you is amazing."
Why, thank you, Jesse. Words of a true gentleman. Of course I would want to date you if you said that to me.
Not.
But anyways, this song "Body Language" repeats that line (over and over). First of all, it's hardly a good one. Second, it's the exact same as in his other hit song word for word. Seriously can you think of a better way to phrase that? And third, it's just kind of weird...it's like, what, does she have a tail or something? Is there a really cool dog following her around? What thing is behind her? Ohhh....you mean her derriere? Yeah last I checked that was part of you and not behind you. Although it is called your behind. Maybe poor Jesse was just confused.
That's all. I just thought it was funny and I wanted to point out how creative my man Jesse is. So glad you became a pop star instead of going to college.
There are tons of songs out there where you just think "what the heck?" Next time I hear one I'll let ya know. This reminds me of Dave Barry's "Book of Bad Songs." Such a funny man -- look it up.

BYU Football

What a game!
And after the game when we rushed the field I accidentally got smacked in the head by Coleby Clawson's shoulder. I only come up to his shoulder. It was awesome.

The Game of Bonnie's Life

I have too much fun writing weird and random thoughts that I don't really dish out the dirt on what's really happening in my life right now. Welp, too bad.

My dear friends and family who live far away, this is for you.
And to my dear friends and family who are nearby: Do you see that little "x" in the top right corner (top left for you Mac user's)? Yeah, go ahead and click on it because this isn't for you.

The Game of Bonnie's Life
Rules: Match items 1-5 with a-e. If you get them all right, you WIN! If you don't, you LOSE! What Fun!

1. I went crazy.
2. I went crazy.
3. I went crazy.
4. Well I already went crazy so...
5. I'm super duper excited about...

a. I am taking Volleyball next semester. And mission prep and marriage prep (Like my Dad said, I'm covering all my bases).
b. I am running a marathon in April.
c. I am an English major.
d. I have no clue what to do with my English degree (assuming I get it).
e. BYUSA

Was it a little trickier than you thought?
Here are the answers:
1. b (or c or e)
2. c (or b or e)
3. e (or b or c) ...maybe even a?
4. d
5. A!!! (and b. But maybe just super excited or just duper excited. Not super duper excited).

Now for the explanations:

1. I went crazy because I am running a marathon in April. Does that really need elaboration? The thing is I paid for it already and it is non-refundable. I did that because the earlier, the cheaper, but now I am bound. Like I said 2 seconds after clicking "submit" - I sold my soul. So now I am training and hoping my knees stay tough and I don't break my back or anything before because that's my money down the toilet. But the good deal is my Daddio is paying for it so long as I go through with it. What a nice guy.

2. I obviously went crazy because I am an English major. Frankly, I want to finish school so I do not want to change my major again. I like it most days, love it some, hate it some (everyday with Engl 291) but figure I'm not going to do what I really want with just a BA in English anyway so I'll be heading off to Grad School in something. We have to read so much though, dang it.

3. I went crazy because I decided to spend my spare time on BYUSA. It's actually probably some of the best spare time ever spent. Did that make sense? Probably not. But basically, I love it. I don't have as much time to just relax and play since my schedule is always work, class, homework, BYUSA (BYUSA and homework will always fill in the cracks) and marathon training, but it is fun. I've helped with Fall Fest, Homecoming After-Party and Battle of the Bands and I'm not done. I'm getting friends and skills. I love it.

4. I already went crazy so now what? This refers to the lack of direction in my life at the moment. I already went to crazy town so I don't know what's left. I'm an English major and don't know what I want to do. Sounds like a lot of English majors. But some Englishers dream of writing for the rest of their lives...I don't really.
Teach? Nursing? Business? Communications?
Run away? yes.

5. I am soooo excited! Next semester will rock my socks. I'm only taking 2 English classes, one of which is creative writing so that should be fun and then I have awesome Volleyball. I am taking Physical Science though (finally) so that'll probably be the only dampener on my schedule. Unless I get a really cute guy in my class...

Be wise, Sanitize!

I think I should go into slogan making. I guess that's the same thing as advertising. I should go into advertising. Doesn't "Be wise, Sanitize!" make you want to just go and grab the nearest bottle of hand sanitizer and load up? I thought so. It makes me want to grab my hand sanitizer and my boss's and my neighbor's and my neighbor's brother from another mother's mother's. Suckas.
How about: "Be fit, drink your spit!"? I'm sure there are some people out there (probably girls ages 12-17 and guys ages 18-29) that would actually believe in some crazy rumor that I'm starting right now that drinking your own spit will help you lose weight or something. That's nasty though, I have no idea why it was the first thing to pop in my head. I apologize.
Anyways I should probably be hired right now because I am really good at rhyming and I heard that due to the economic recession there has been quite the decline in good rhymers. Don't ask questions. Just trust me.

Ok.

"Be fit, drink your spit!"

Favorite Band Party

Check out Ingrid Michaelson's new album "Everybody." She is awesome.

http://www.ingridmichaelson.com/music/

She's coming to Salt Lake on Saturday, but I can't fork out $60 for a ticket at the moment :(

Why so much??

So I may just have my own Ingrid Michaelson party and listen to my favorite songs and eat my favorite foods and be with my favorite people. Whoever wants to join me, let me know. I'm serious.

...maybe I'll have other favorite band parties too...

I Have Two Brothers, Hey Hey Hey!

I was just thinking, my main picture on my blog makes it look like I don't have any brothers but I actually have two: Ian and Christian.
Check out these handsome men in my life:

Brother #1: CHRISTIAN!

Christian is almost 22, 6'4-5 ish, talented, and oh so cute! Yes, ladies, he has dimples. He is fluent in Dutch (just got home from the Netherlands!), a very talented artist and musician, and knows how to crack a corny joke. Ok so this isn't an ad to date my brother. I just want people to recognize he exists and I love him!!! Chris is not quite 2 years older than me so we've been pretty close through the years. Back in the day we'd build lego contraptions or Playmobil castles. Or I'd watch him play video games :) Then I'd go play Barbies with Kat. I'm a very versatile woman. We'd build forts almost every Sunday and got to be pretty good, though he was definitely the mastermind behind them. So it fits that he is now potentially looking into Architecture as his field of study. He's also just a super easygoing guy to be around. What awesomeness and attractiveness he brings to my fam. The girls go wild over this one.

Brother #2: IAN!

This is probably the craziest, cutest, 12-year-old I have ever known. Just yesterday he was bragging to me how he can now do a backflip on the trampoline and will have to show me next time I come home. And who could resist those dimples?? (Note: the boys were blessed with the dimples and the girls not so much). He is also one of the funniest kids in the world. This kid has wit. Of course he gets special attention as the youngest and a guy but he definitely deserves his own credit for being the clever kid he is. Plus he's one of the few remaining who will crack up if I do something immature...in some things I am still on the same wavelength as this boy. He's always out playing sports, likes to read (mostly "Calvin and Hobbes" or "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"), plays piano, is a little smarty pants and basically the leader of his little neighborhood friends. He's a good kid. He also brings such awesomeness and attractiveness to our clan. Plus he's already got some pickup lines down...watch out!

The First Time Ever...

...I withdrew from a class. I always take on too large of a load and for some crazy reason I thought I could handle it this time around. But apparently English majors have to read a lot or something and it's time consuming. Why I didn't fathom it would be, I don't know.
So I dropped Finance :(
I really liked the course but I'm just concentrating on what counts towards the major right now. But on the bright side I have a 2 hour break on Tuesdays instead of only 30 minutes!
