Alas, looks triumph brains

The other day I saw an attractive man on a motorcycle

First thought

      "What a hottie"

Second thought

      "What an idiot, it's like three degrees" 

If anyone's keeping score for the male sex

Soon it will be only me

I am seriously gonna throw up if I see another post that someone is engaged. There are too many freaking people who are getting married! Not to mention that the way I am connected to the happy couple is exclusively the bride and those brides are MY age. Holy crap! Of course this going to be more and more frequent as more and more girls turn twenty. Way to hold out past the teens girls, this way you aren't a teen bride. For those who did not... oh well. In a year from now I'll be seeing all those boys who went on a mission get married, but not only that they will be to those love sick girls who waited for them, Ode to frickin Joy. Can't wait to go to those weddings it'll be like a family reunion, but wait! I won't be here! I'll be on my mission. That's right just when all the girls my age are on their second child and all the boys are getting married I will be well into my mission. Yes, oddly enough I do have goals beyond the quest to eternal marriage and those are not about to change the moment I find a man who follows me around. Too harsh? Maybe. But then again nobody who's newly engaged or married will be reading it so I guess it doesn't matter, and even if they did, life goes on.

Moving out

Well, I've been living in Logan for about a month now and it's been pretty tight. Definately not the same as going to school while living at home. For one thing there is no shame in getting up at noon or later on the weekends, and then staying in your pajamas until four. Another is that I definately have more of a social life which probably contributes to the staying up a lot later than I should. So yeah school's great. Moving out totally worth cooking for myself and the weekly lecture I get when I call home. And my goodness does this sweet life go on.

Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows

I have listened to that song about fifty thousand times in the past two days. Thank you Rachel for having that on your blog, because I cannot stop singing and dancing to that minute and a half of bliss.

You know music is fantabulous like that, it just speaks to your soul. This is why I am so insulted by the more popular artists who musically speaking, have no talent. Oh sure they're on the radio they make lots of money but seriously why would you sing about getting on with an alien? By the way that is the reason I no longer listen to Katy Perry, what a loser. Sing about something that is, oh I don't know, good. Don't even get me started on Lady Gaga. How do people like these songs? "I love this record but I can't see straight anymore. Just dance" ok nobody likes to dance that much, maybe you should sit down before you pass out and find your self waking up in an ally somewhere.

Wow this post is taking a turn I wasn't going to take, I was really going to talk about Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows. I'm not inlove with anyone, unless you count life, because it freaking rocks! Don't agree? Listen to Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows and you will, but if not life goes on.

August

August has no holidays, but what it lacks in holidays it makes up in birthdays. Yes, August has the most birthdays than any other month, and I know what you're doing it's November. Anyway, August. Too many birthdays, it's the month of my brother's, my grandpa's, my mom's, my other brother's, my brother-in-law's, and several other people. Which rocks for them because like I said there are no holidays so they get there own special little day in a holiday-less month. You know when my birthday is? January 5. Yes it is overshawdowed by the two biggest holidays of the year, three if you count the fact that after Thanksgiving all it seems to be is holidays. I might as well not even have a birthday since my glory of my birth is sucked up by the glory of a new year and of course the birth of Christ. Go figure, there's no competition when you're birth is after that of the Jesus Christ who was sent to save the world.

However, it does not change the fact that I don't get to celebrate anything officially in august besides other people's birthdays. So you know what screw you August birthdays, I'm celebrating the lesser known holidays like August 10, Lazy day. Finally a holiday I think was invented for me. Or National Thriftshop Day which is august 17th, I 'm gonna get me some sweet clothes from the 70's that day, because it also happens to be my mother's birthday who grew up in the 70's. I'm also going to be celebrating race your mouse day on the 28th. Now they are talking about your computer mouse but I'm going to be racing my nonexistant mice that day, but I'll get some, but if not, life goes on.

lyrics

Ok honestly some the pop songs lately have the stupidest lyrics I have ever heard. For example Britney Spears's Womanizer; "Maybe if we both lived in a different world it would be all good and I could be your girl but we can't cause we don't" You don't say, you know if I lived in a different world maybe I could be with Cary Grant. That's the funny thing about living in a different world, anything can happen. These lyrics were the dumbest thing I had ever heard until I heard this little gem in Pink's Raise your glass; "If your too school for cool" does this even need an explanation? How do these songs become hits? The sad thing is that I do actually enjoy these songs, everyone does or most everyone. Still their popularity should not block out the fact that they have the stupidest lyrics I have ever heard, it even beats out Rebecca Black's Friday. Alas these songs still flurish and you know what, life goes on.

Be who are...well maybe not

I have always thought of self expression as a good thing and it is. However, as much as it is a good thing you should be prepared for how people will view you myself included. How hypocritical is that? Anyway, the point is that just because you are"being true to yourself" doesn't mean everyone's gonna appreciate it, myself included, and I wouldn't expect everyone to love who I am. I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but honestly do you really want to look/act like a woman when you are in fact a man? Is dressing up a pirate a favorite of yours? I mean that's all good and well and everything, but perhaps if you would like to avoid the strange looks and comments you should move to France. I hear they're pretty down with all that stuff. That is unless you learn not to care what others think of you. So perhaps the lesson is, be who you are, but don't expect everyone to welcome it with open arms, because that is life and no matter what you choose life goes on.

It never changes

My first year of college; I still wait til last minute to do any sort of homework, I still burn effigies of my teachers, and I am still at the same intelligence level. I guess some things never change as my life goes on.

My head is going to explode

I was just in my music and culture class and we talked about the Beatles. I FREAKING LOVE THE BEATLES! I felt like I was going to explode from excitment. In fact, I'm still on this amazing music craze. I do not know anything in the world that makes me this happy. I LOVE music! I feel so inspired when I hear music, like I want to belt it like Aretha and wail. Too bad I'm white. Seriously though, music. I wish that someday somewhere I can contribute to that wonderful world of inspiration. If not, well I'm not sure if it would or not, life goes on.

Car dancing

I don't know if I'm the only one guilty of this, but when I'm in the car I just rock out. It's a real problem for me. It all started in high school when I had a car that looked like it was used as wrecking ball at some point, but had an awesome sound system. I'd cruise around in this baby and I would turn up the sound way high and just dance. Not only would I dance in my car I would dance walking home too. Few people I do this I realize for fear of being made fun of, but something I realized was that nobody is even watching you. Everyone either wants people to watch them or fear it that they dont' ever look at anyone else. To that I say let loose when driving and do your car dance or a walk dance because no one even notices. Although I have been caught on occasion but who cares, life goes on.

How I became a hermit

I've contemplated hermithood for a long time, but it wasn't til netflicks that it actually became possible. You see the number one thing I love to do in this life is laugh and netflicks is full of laughs. In fact I laugh myself to sleep almost every night. Amazing? Yes. Beautiful? even more so. Of course laughing with someone, sharing this wonderful wit with someone, that's true gold. But alas, I have discovered have no friends so I guess that leaves me to laugh alone.However, this want to share this luaghter with someone does not leave so I try and share the scenes and stories with people who don't even know what I'm talking about. I stand there laughing, while they just stare. True, sometimes they do laugh but I doubt that has to do with what I'm saying and it's more that I look like a moron. That's ok though, because no matter what I say or do I will always have my truest of all companions, netflicks. Yes, netlficks doesn't mind my hermithood in fact I think you might say that netflicks encourages such behavior.

What we conclude from this is that my reality has become netflicks and I am now a hermit. But that's ok, I'm sure once I've wrapped up the psych episodes I'll return to the real world. If I don't however there are worse things that could happen and regardless of what happens, life goes on.

The Love of my life

I have found the love of my life this week. I feel complete now and out of my love and devotion for my new found love I have written a poem.

Eyes only for you

Now that I have you I am never alone.
I know you'll always be there when I get home.

You've saved me from the cruel world.
I know that I'll always be your girl.

Say you love me just for kicks,
because I love you sweet netflicks.

Tainted potato chips

I know I just posted one yesterday but today an event happen that could only be expressed through a blog.

As a college student without a job to speak of, I have very limited funds and in fact made my last purchase of entertainment last week when I bought Jane Eyre. However, hunger overcame me today so I decided that I would go down to the bookstore at my school and by something to eat as long as it was under three dollars total. So, I bought me a mediocre ice cream bar and a bag of my favorite chips, sour cream and oninion. I was extremely excited to actually eat something so I hiked up to the sixth floor to enjoy my food while reading, none other but "Jane Eyre." I ate the less than average ice cream looking forward to my chips. Let me tell you why sour cream and oninion are the best chips, it's because they are full of flavor and salty goodness.When you bite into them it's as if you are taking a bit of pure happiness and you know that God loves you. Fully expecting this ecstasy as I took my first bite I paused in my reading. What did I find? The entire bag was void of flavor, there was no salty to greet my tongue, no ringing bells, nothing. Someone forgot to flavor my chips! There wasn't even salt. They were tainted, and my mouth was now tainted from the tainted chips.

Do you know what it's like to have heaven taken away from you when you had already paid the price? Just eat a plain chip when you were expecting chips so chalk full of flavor they give your mouth cankers. Bleh! oh well life goes on.

Jane Eyre

My life was not complete until I saw Jane Eyre and even still until I complete reading it. I have just purchased this heaven sent movie. It is four hours long, but I still find that I have to put restrictions on myself so I don't watch it everyday. I have now come to only watching it once a week and the second disk again on the weekend. This should do quite nicely especailly since I am now reading the book.

Why do I love Jane Eyre so much? Well, I'll tell you, I am in love with Mr.Edward Rochester. There I admit it I have now reduced myself so much that the only way for me to find true happiness is to marry a fictional character with a sinful past. Alas I have become a full blown hopeless romantic.Of course I must explain that it is not so much Mr. Rochester himself but rather the love between him and Jane Eyre. Fictional yes, but no less inviting.

Another thing what the freak is up with the name Edward being tainted with vampirism? It was most definately taken in classics such as this one discussed long before being in love with a man who wanted to such your blood was thought to be attractive. But oh well, life goes on.

Waiting for chicken to boil

My goodness. My body feels like someone strecthed it across pointed rocks and beat me with a two by four. What really happened was indoor soccer which is debatably more painful. That game last night really showed me that although I may not look like that fat kid in the corner, I definately am one. Not to mention I'm the loser who misses the ball when it's right in front of you. The game was in Ogden and I'm grateful I didn't get too lost, of which I'm very prone to do. This trip I only turned into two wrong places and had to turn around once, but I still manged to get there on time so no complaining here.

But I do have one complaint. What the heck is up with those billboards for Jim Bridger? Am I the only one who has noticed those? I mean come on really. It's great that Jim Bridger discovered the great salt lake and all but I'm pretty sure that was something covered in fourth grade along with those other mountain men. Why is it necessary for there to be a bill board about it and then to have a website on the bottom that is solely about Jim Brigder. What about Peter Schen Ogden or Jeddiah Smith? The only way that website would be romotely helpful besides to the fourth grade population of Utah would be if some woman had an unnaturaly lust for rustic dead mountain men. And if that's the case she has got some serious issues, but I guess life goes on.

my Url has nothing to do with the blog content

Some may be confused at my url adress so let me explain. It has nothing to do with the blog content. All the ones that did were taken which all happened to be Beatles song titles. I should've known they'd be taken, the Beatles are pretty fabulous. I didn't think to try my other favorite artists' song titles but they probably would've been taken. Anyway, all the names were taken thus I arrived at the girl in neon pants, and yes, I have neon pants and do wear them. However, that's beside the point because I'm not going to write about the experiences I have solely in my neon pants. Of course that could be fun but then this blog would only get written in quarterly or less.

The blog will really just be about my life, thoughts, and perspectives. That sounds really self centered but what else is a blog good for? For some or should I say all, this won't be new news because that was what my previous blog was about. Anyway welcome to my new blog should be fun and hopefully my life gets a little more interesting so I have something to write about, but it not life goes on.
