Seasonal.

the wind is -2, but the sun is still warm.
cold enough to shatter arctic air in the palm of any hand.
a winter one celebrates the frosty grass and their frozen toes.
a spring child sings with flowers for cheeks and golden curls.
a summer son spills laughter down the hill.
an autumn mother brings much wisdom and promise.


hot july was good to me.
oh, iced december don't disappoint.

My Birthday.

So my 21st birthday was spent in Las Vegas. not only did i get to spend it with my love, but my 2 bestest friends in the world were there, too. Mckenna and Chris. it was wonderful.! I really wanted a birthday cake, so we all got in the car and went for cake supplies at the nearest smiths. They didn't have cherry chip :( so we went with butter golden yellow cake... or something like that. I wanted cherry frosting and some did not. (kenna doesn't like red foods or artificially fruit flavored things) so we got chocolate as well. haha. it was quite tasty.


we had plans to go gambling after the cake was partially digested. but it turned out that we never ate dinner. i had completely forgotten. and all that sugar made my stomach disturbed. so i planned on laying down for a few minutes. Star Wars was on.. and i ended up falling asleep. hahaha. this was around 1:00 am, though. But i had LOADS of fun. see the pictures?
(we often threaten eachother with frosting)
Thank you Stephanie for the Fantasia DVD! hehe. i told you you had it.

a strange napping place.




I think you'd agree.


This kitten doesn't have a name yet. she is up for adoption at Hitch'n post. but you better believe i will come up with something clever. i wish i could keep her. her eyes are blue.. darker blue towards the center. we found her like this. napping amongst the almond joys. she's adorable.

do you know what these are?

no matter how many times i flip the switch the light just won't come on.
_

i need to run, i need to hide, but i sprinted right past the bathroom stall and peeled back the wall so i could disappear. there's no way they'd think to look here.
_

there's a secret maze behind my house that leads to a place i'd rather not speak of.
_

running through red rocks and ancient stones to reach the black iron archway that marks the finish. just to find myself back at the start again, but this time with a balding man in glasses just 3 steps behind.
_

don't try to run, it's much too slow. crab walk instead.
_

there are haunted things in my grandmother's basement. if you explore, bring friends... and fire.
_

that santa gnome left on the side of the dirt road by that dark haired girl in pink could possibly be posessed. she'll be furious if you just drive by, and haunt you forever if you pick it up.
_

purple carebears with glowing red eyes floating down the hallway, can in no way be a good thing.
_

don't try to fly, you won't get far, your feet will touch the grass once more.
_

if you're in the sky and try to land, you'll only find yourself getting higher.
_

there are strange rides at lake powell that you can only go on if you're barefoot and holding hands.
_

if you want someone there bad enough, they'll take shape of a bird and fly.
_

you can always talk to the animals when you need advice.
_

a woman sent her giant spider after me and when i escaped on the I-15, she chased me through a forest and into a lake.
_

when there's a chicken, an african grey parrot, a raven, and a hawk all blocking your entrance to the hotel, it's probably some kind of secret message.
_

the roads are now all waterways, and you just put on your suit and slide.
_

There's a tornado coming down the street, and it's a good thing spiderman's an airbender.
_

I'm a russian who can slide down trees, i ran to germany to find my love, it was a hug that happened to never cease.
_

dot to dot, it's wolverine.
_

the choir is robed in red and green singing through the gold. i've been looking for someone and when the gates were opened, i saw my grandpa there.

Time

i certainly don't get it. 4 weeks this saturday? i thought it was LAST saturday?! aarrhhgg i'm so confused. i obviously want time to be going faster than it is.

i took my monroe out.

if anyone even reads this anymore.

a good friend of mine said this to me today..
'god is like a parent who doesn't care how his children fall, just how he wants them to keep on trying to walk.'

kinda worded weird.. but i like it.

Smelly

my room still kind of stinks.
so i'm going to try getting ready in my room. with my hairspray. smelly lotions. mousse? you know.. good smelling stuff. in hopes that will help.

i'm also getting rid of some of my stuffed animals. i think some of the ones i still have are stuffed animals from Jodi or Stephs exboyfriends from like high school. haha. didn't know what to do with them so you gave them to me, eh?! haha. good one.

2 am?.... honestly.

yeah... i shampooed the carpet in my room. it's redder than ever. i shampooed the walls too. i moved my room around and in the process re dirtied the floor. so i have to re vaccuum shampoo the visible places. that won't be as bad. where my dresser is with the mirror on it is a bit unsettling.. i don't know why. not very feng shui. so it kind of bugs me.

Oh! and in new harmony, chris grandpa found this baby deer next to his mother who died. so they took it home they are raising it out there and i got to take it on a tiny walk and feed it a couple bottles last weekend! He didn't want to go on a walk with me very badly but when chris' uncle showed up baby deer sprinted straight over to him and started rubbing his face on his uncle's legs. it was one of the cutest things i've ever witnessed. (his uncle is the one who feeds the deer every day and takes it on walks.)

how i met the deer was the best part. Chris told me had a surprise for me and i was like 'it's not a bunch of dead animals again, is it? (cause the first time he had a surprise for me it was a museum of all the animals his grandpa had hunted. it was awesome at first then i started thinking about it and got way depressed) anyway.. when i got to new harmony he drove me over to his grandpa's shop thing behind the house. and covered my eyes with his hand. he lead me through the door and over to this spot then turned me around and said look! i opened my eyes and there were loads of deer heads and moose heads and other dead animal's heads up on the wall and said 'ohh.. yeah .. neat' (trying to sound excited) but then chris said "luckily that's not the real surprise" and turned me around. There he was. tiny spotted and looking up at me. he took my breath away. instantly i squealed with excitement. i'd never pet a deer before. or been this close to one. so i was happy to the extreme. oh it was cute. he is cute. i get to see him again next weekend i think. i'll try to get a better picture of us together. hehe. maybe i'll let chris be in the picture, too. we'll see how it goes.

Nothing to post about other than what you have already heard.

sorry i don't post much. there just isn't much going on. other than chris and i are happy.. and.. i can register for classes now. but i have to go talk to Dan Frezza in the Art dept. Gonna try out photography as a major for a while. i found out today that i have to take a math placement test since it's been 2 years since i took a math class. so maybe i'll do bad on purpose so i can take easier math classes. hahaha. i kid i kid..
i don't know how you all do the pictures on the side and stuff on here. so help me out? haha. you know what i'm talking about? like the separate column on the right hand side? no? ok well whatev.

i just called the hitch 'n' post. everyone cross your fingers and pray for me that the girl that works there that left doesn't come back so i can have her job. haha.

Oh, Saturday....




Saturday afternoon Chris and i went on the KanarraFalls hike. it was just marvelous. and as we sat down to lunch atop the waterfall you can slide down. i asked him to be my boyfriend. aaaand he said yes. so. we are official now. and we've been together for 2 days. and i am just enthralled. Chris and i went to church together sunday as well.. it was wonderful. i couldn't stop smiling or get enough of holding his hand. it was rather ridiculous really... if you would have been looking at me in that moment.
aaaand i have to write a letter to the school in order to be readmitted. i asked the girl twice who i was supposed to adress it to, but completely forgot. so now i don't know what to do. i'll figure it out somehow.

Working Out....

ugh.. i worked out yesterday. and i am SO sore. but in the right places! love handles! yyyeah! i can't figure out how to work out my inner thighs though. i would really like to.
i had a day the other day that i just cried cause when i put my pants on they were really tight in the thighs and they have never fit like that before. oh well. i'll get over it. i was embarassed cause i cried to chris about it. haha he said he wouldn't care if i gained another 100 lbs. and i think that might happen pretty soon. so shall see... we ... shall ... see.

lyrics of the day:
this song is super powerful. it hit me really hard because it kind of describes me a few years ago. some choices i made. it's beautiful. and i love it. how do you feel about it?

"the man on stage who shouts and sings as if he could proove something. A fallen leaf sat upon my neck and whispered in my ear 'dyin is half the fun of livin, if the living's not in fear' and you can sing your days away but they may never quite get why ... it is most sensible to smile and cry at the same time. to wrap around your sorrow in a warm welcome hug. hate is a strong word, but darlin so is love. both the children of passion split by a thin thin line. a tightrope we all walk along but some fall to either side.. cause you love to hate and hate to love and nothin inbetween. well honey that just means you are the opposite of me. cause i love to love and i love to love and honestly i couldn't hate a thing.. no no let me correct myself.. i love everyone in the world but me. i'll change my head to a steppin stone for all to walk upon ... i'm singin this song with no guitar so you'll just listen to me ... the truth how it really is. now i'll just speak these next two lines all soft and slow so you can let it sink in.. the difference between us my friends, i can see it in your eyes. you're glad that you're not dead yet and i'm just happy to be alive."

Best Friend.


kitty loves chicken nuggets.


Last Night.

some interesting things happened on my way home from st. george last night.

first off i almost hit some strange dark animal who ran across the street.

second when i got the green arrow to turn left onto the freeway a white car sped through their red light and there was a car next to me who went and if i would have stayed just behind him i would have gotten in a serious wreck. so someone is watchign out for me telling me to take my time when driving, i guess. haha. and i was talking to Chris Frehner (i have yet to tell Jodi about this source of smiles of mine) so, sorry.. but i will... soon. and you'll meet him on the 4th of July. =D
anyway.. and then i was driving on the freeway going between 65 and 80 cause i was tired and didn't want to go too fast. and then for 2 seconds i guess i was going 82 and got pulled over. he let me off with a warning. thank goodness.

and i had to pass a diesel(sp?) on the right and a truck on the right cause they weren't moving.
over all i had a really strange drive home.

ART1050, ENGL2010, HIST1700

possibly going back to school in the fall.

At Weeks End.

the heat makes me lazier than normal.
and i don't know how to blog.

Valencia, Treaty Of Paris, and 1997 all played in st. george and Brett and i went. On the way home she ran over a log. no flats, luckily. and i guess if you are not a hardcore band and you play in southern utah.. no one will come to your shows. cause there was maybe 20 people there, tops.

7:005 pm on friday night I got a comment on myspace from my friend getting married in August. It said "i hope to see you tonight!" and slightly confused i quickly texted her and commented her back. she responded informing me that tonight was her bridal shower. (that i was already 5 minutes late for.) i hollered upstairs to my mother and asked "mom? did i get anything in the mail?" and she was like "oh, yeah from jana davis, why?" i was like "uuhh well val's bridal shower started 5 minutes ago" and because i never ever get mail i never checked.. but i guess it had been up on the counter for about a week and i was never informed it came.. then slowly other mail got piled on top of it. her theme for the shower was 'firsts' and i got first summer and luckily i had an unopened swim ring i could throw in a bag and give her. and that's what i did. i was only like 20 mins late. so it all worked out. but i guess communication in my house hasn't drastically improved.. but improved, anyway.

oh and on the way home i heard my car make a ridiculous noise and i knew exactly what it was. Flat tire. i tend to get a lot of those. so i had to call my daddy to come help. i wanted to do it myself but i didn't want to break anything. so i chickened out.

on friday night val and joni and i all went for a ride on a Rhino? some vehicle that is a golf cart and hefty quad combined. it was sweet.

oh and last night i talked on the phone for 3 hours to my source of smiles. it was great. i'm great.

Wednesday, April 30, 2008

i didn't shower today.
and i'm moving to st. george.

maybe if i tell enough people or say it enough..
it'll actually happen.

Never Suffer, Never Joy.

Never Suffer, Never Joy
mortality, heartache, guilt
brothers, lovers, and the sun.
a bloody mess, or happiness?
twisted metal, and mourning mothers,
birthday cake, and laughter.
the tears descend and a smile spreads
but you're a hollow shell
a stranger watching from a distance
full of a numbing substance
observed but never experienced
asleep and never waking
numb and never feeling...
...nothing more.

Television, Garbage Cans, and Red Carpet.

Yesterday i began cleaning my room, which is usually a week long process. Our recently emptied garbage receptical outside is now full of past belongings of mine. I have a hard time throwing things away, so this is a big deal for me. so much of it is sentimental.. I also have 2 garbage bags of shirts and pants to take to the D.I. another garbage bag full of shoes to take to the D.I. AND a couple little walmart bags full of toys and what not to take to the D.I. My beautiful red/orange carpet is slowly becoming more and more visible. Oh, and my borhter had an extra TV at his apartment, so now that tv resides in my room. it's marvelous.
