True Blue Through and Through
I have a bruise on my thigh in the shape of a Y.
So now I bleed blue and white and bruise Y's. It's like the next level of true cougardom.

Just Don't Dance
Today I was playing "Just Dance" and the smoke detector went off. I have 3 theories for this:
1. My dance moves are just wayyy too hott.
2. My dance moves are atrocious so the detector went off as a plea for me to stop before I hurt myself.
3. I need to shower.

I'm Baaaaack!!!
Here we go blogging again!
So I've been gone for a year and a half (though it does not feel like it) doing the most rewarding thing in my life thus far and now I am back. By popular demand (3 people) I will blog again.
Allow me to reintroduce myself:
My name is Bonnie. I'll answer to anything polite though.
I am a total weirdo (hopefully this is synonymous with fun).
I love to read.
I love to run, but have only gone twice since I've been home (sadly, my bee's knees are breaking down).
I enjoy making people laugh. I enjoy people making me laugh.
I think life is grand.
So as for everything else, you'll probably just learn more as you read.
Or you can dabble into my past posts. But then you'll just realize how much statement #2 about myself is true.
I'm ok with that.

Highlights from Rochester
Once upon a time, a young lass by the name of Schmonnie went to visit her sister, another young lass, by the name of Bangel (pronounced "bagel," but very nasally, much like portuguese).
This visit was a fabulous visit, where much fun was had.
Some highlights:

Some highlights:
Buying peanuts for the poor, hungry security guard at the airport
I must seem trustworthy...
Seeing Bangel
Seeing Bangel flip out when Schmonnie threw a stuffed squirrel at her (please be kind to animals)
...how I wish I had a picture....
Schmonnie got stuck in a beaver suit
They were H20 Heroes...and probably still are, but just can't reveal their dual identities so act "retired." (Yeah, right)
Sitting in a very hot car in the middle of a rain storm
Beating the other passengers on the plane on the in-flight trivia.
Might I add that I am a record holder...
Finding a street that rhymes with my name
Sitting on a plane while my brother complains he needs to vomit
What a joyous moment for he, me and the passenger who wishes she did not have the seat next to us
Maybe we don't want to be found... - A Fine Frenzy
One time I found buttons on the inside of my shirt and thought I put it on inside out. But no, there are just buttons on the inside of my shirt. I call them my "back-up buttons."
She has back-up buttons too.

It's like riding a bike!
Sometimes I think of things that will make great blog posts and then I forget. SAD DAY for everyone.
So these comments are not the ones I forgot and am now remembering. They are other thoughts. Just FYI.
You know how people say something is like riding a bike?
Usually this is referring to not forgetting how to ride it, right?
Well first off, I don't ride bikes much, but when I get on one I still feel confident and comfortable.
So today, when I say something is like riding a bike, I mean it in the sense that when you don't do that thing for awhile, you still feel confident and comfortable when you do pick it up again. Maybe it's the same thing.
That said, this, unfortunately does NOT occur for me when I
1) speak in front of people
2) confront spiders
Situation 1:
When I lived in Germany I had a lot of experience speaking in front of people. I had to relatively often at church, and I had to very often at school. We had oral presentations in a good chunk of my classes (TOK, German, English, are the ones that stand out), plus, I took Drama, so was in front of people, out of my comfort zone, a lot. And for the IB in English, part of our final exam was an oral commentary so we would practice that to death. Speaking became a pretty regular thing for me.
Now, in Utah, I don't have to speak in church too often, I sometimes have to give presentations in classes, but it is all far less often. Now, in Utah, whenever I have to speak/present again I get SO NERVOUS. It's ridiculous. It's not like riding a bike.
Situation 2:
Confronting spiders (or any creepy, crawly, nasty, better-off-dead creature). There was a summer when I stayed at home with my parents in our recently completed basement bedroom. Somehow, that room came with all kinds of bugs. It got to the point where I was killing at least one a day. They really like my company, I guess. But I killed them so often that I eventually skipped the screaming step and just grabbed whatever and smashed the critter. I moved to a third-floor apartment, where the presence of bugs was far less prevalent. Unfortunately, I recently confronted a spider and realized, I include the screaming stage again.
