Tiny Giraffes

I love these commercials... I wish there was such a thing as tiny giraffes! How awesome would that be? AND a mini treadmill?!

I guess my new thing is babbling.

I started the new job today.. It was interesting and boring at the same time. Typical first day. :)

I made some delicious spaghetti and garlic bread.. I must say I love cooking lately. I need to do it more. I loved doing it while I was living out of my parents house.. I've made some good breakfast food as of late. I used to be really bad at breakfast food.. but I'm going pro. Ha. I'd like to take some cooking classes. There's a lot of recipes I want to try to make.. Now to the grocery store..

I had a fun night tonight with my mom. We went shopping to buy Rihanna's new album and bought some other stuff of course.. I'm really enjoying her new music. I also got Nelly's new album. Its great too because I didn't have to pay anything since I had a Target gift card. :) My mom bought some other stuff, mostly for Thanksgiving. I can't believe its going to be here already next week! Its crazy how fast time goes during the Holidays. We also went to Harmon's and the deli dude.. He started talking and I was not expecting that English accent to come outta his mouth. lol.

Lakers won. Again. That makes them 9-2. This makes me happy.

I sketched last night.. Well.. More like colored my sketchbook with abstract pastels. I forgot how relaxing it is for me to just lose my mind in the movement of my hands. Even if the end result isn't amazing, it does its job.

My Dad's second cousin died yesterday of a heart attack. She was younger than my Dad.. This scares me. And now I'm going to be depressing and say it feels like death season correlates with the Holiday season. :( RIP Stephanie.

I want to thank Lindsay and Sarah for responding to my religious post and for Lindsay's message on Facebook that had even more information in it.

OH, and I bought my Linkin Park tickets yesterday.. PreSale! I'm so excited.. February 25th. I haven't seen them in six long years because I missed them in '08. So I'm ecstatic about it.

I also saw these Bob Marley glasses at Target that I want...


I'll leave you with some Rihanna Complicated lyrics off her new Loud album..

Why is everything, with you so complicated?
Why do you make it hard to love you-
Why I hate it?
Cause if you really wanna be alone, I
Would throw my hands up cause baby I tried
But everything with you is so complicated,
Oh, why (Oh why)?

Naiveté...?

**First off, I don't mean any offense to anyone. I'm just curious and my mind thinks of these things.

Maybe I'm just incredibly naive and a wishful thinker.. but I really don't see how God can judge people so harshly..

THE DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS, SECTION 76

(Concerning Outer Darkness)

32 They are they who are the ^asons of ^bperdition, of whom I say that it had been better for them never to have been born;

33 For they are ^avessels of wrath, doomed to suffer the wrath of God, with the devil and his angels in eternity;

34 Concerning whom I have said there is ^ano ^bforgiveness in this world nor in the world to come—
35 Having denied the Holy Spirit after having received it, and having denied the Only Begotten Son of the Father, having crucified him unto themselves and put him to an open shame.
36 These are they who shall go away into the lake of fire and brimstone, with the devil and his angels-

Can someone explain this to me? Do we really believe this? I don't. So, people who don't accept Jesus as their Savior, will suffer in Hell for their sins for 1,000 years during the millennial reign of Christ? Really? That seems like a really long time. And after, they will be resurrected and receive an immortal physical body and go to the Telestial Kingdom? Interesting.. My question is, can we mingle with the other people in all three kingdoms? Are we allowed to see those people? I've asked a missionary this before, and was asked "Why would you want to? There's a reason why there are three different kingdoms." OH. Yeah, okay.. Your thoughts?

So.. I got a new permanent job. I start next week. I'm happy about it. I'm thinking about getting a second job but I can't decide if I should or not. It would be nice to have the extra money with the Holidays coming up and everything. But then, the Holidays are coming up. So do I want one right now? I don't know..

I found this video last night.. I've never seen it before. I like it. It makes me laugh.



Yay for Lil Wayne getting out of jail.. now only if T.I. could stay out of jail for once..

I've been told that I need to blog again.. I don't see the appeal anymore. I don't have much to say. When I do, I tweet about it, for the most part. I'm really not one of those people that lays everything out on the table for everyone to read. I'm a private person when it comes to the drama. Usually.

I'll give a short update..

I'm still living at home. I can't wait to get a permanent job that pays well so I can finally move out on my own again. It gives me such freedom. I am thankful I have my parents I can stay with and have a roof over my head, I am. I just love living on my own, I feel more like an adult that way I guess. I've been having interviews (while working a temp job) but no bites yet. I'm still going to school.. I've been looking at transferring though.. I don't know what I want to do. I'm always changing my mind and that's why its taking me so long to graduate or get anywhere. I was working towards a degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography aka Ultrasound Technician.. but now I'm leaning towards Surgical Tech.. I think it'd be cooler.

I've been going to free movie screenings. That's really been fun. I love free stuff AND movies. Conviction starring Hilary Swank was pretty good. I liked it. Tonight I saw Morning Glory starring Rachel McAdams. It was a cheesy chick flick, not my cup o' tea. But it wasn't bad. Next week I get to see 127 hours starring James Franco. I'm excited about it.

There's still a lot of family drama surrounding my Grandma and her situation.. We're trying to get her into an assisted living facility. For those of you who need a reminder, she was given the wrong pills in her previous nursing home and almost died. We're working on a lawsuit and she's in a different nursing home currently. The family drama is really taking a toll on me. I wish I could fix it with the snap of my fingers. I wish it would go back to the way it was, actually better. The Holidays are coming up and its not going to be the same. It makes me sad.

I've made some new friends and reconnected with old friends and its been really good to me. Its helped me out a lot. I've been going out to new restaurants with them to try new things. We went to the Greenhouse Effect in SLC and they have delicious crepes but not so good coffee. Their service also sucks. We also went to Himalayan Kitchen downtown SLC and it was the best Indian food I've ever had. I need to go back there already. Its delectable.

I've been to a lot of concerts this year.. And I'm not finished yet.. I've lost count. Oh, and sports. Lakers are 7-0, still undefeated! 3 Peat. Raiders are doing better than they have in a long time. I'm proud of my Raiders license plate. haha.

I guess that's it for now. I don't know when I'll blog again. If ever. Follow me on twitter or facebook. :)

That's right! Its my birthday! I am 22 years old.. crazy!
