Epic beyond all reason.

This song:  "Gone Away" by Lucy Schwartz.  I was amazed by it the moment I heard it.
I LIKE this song.  And when I like a song, I really like a song, and when I really like a song, I really get into it.   I tried to find the sheet music to the song - no good.  The song's not popular enough.   So I sounded it out and wrote the accompaniment.  I'm so proud of myself!  It too some amount of hours.  Maybe it can count for some personal progress (hint)?  The divine nature of music... heh.

Well I'm going to be bringing in the music on Sunday and maybe making some unsuspecting person try and play it so I don't have to hear it on the twangy, synthetic keyboard.

Now these are some comments that people posted about this picture:


-i haven’t laughed so hard in SUCH a long time. oh man, i’m still crying hahahaha.
funniest thing i’ve seen in awhile.

-I was, like, what’s so awkward? And then, whoah! That’s hilarious!
-I actually jumped when I saw the eyes down there!
-OH MY GOD. For while I thought it was creepy just because they were all looking at the camera.. it took me forever to realize there was a person underneath. Nightmares.
-haha took me forever to figure it out, until i saw the eyes peeking out under the mother haha this is great


Now go back up and look at the picture.  Do you see it?  If not, keep looking and re-read the comments.  


I've seen this picture a lot of times.  I very regularly visit this site and often see this picture.  For the longest time I didn't understand.  I always thought, "Alright.  I guess it's kinda creepy that every member of the family is looking at the camera. Even the baby.  What baby looks at the camera?  I don't like this one."  Then today I re-looked at this picture and figured, "Why not?  Maybe other people think something is funny that I don't see."  This is obviously true!  I laughed for so long after I finally saw it.  

This is it!

My people, 

A car has arrived and I have to learn how to use it.  Stick shift.  Yuck.  As of now, I am very good at roughly shaking the car.  

Let's paint a picture.  

• It's red.
• It's a Honda.
• It's a Hybrid.
• It has two doors.  
• It has two seats.
• It has a very nice sound system. 
• I've already made the CDs to put in the car.  
• It has a SVU sticker.  

Ahhhh!  I can't drive it!  I need to be able to drive stick no problem in 3 months.  

DUN DUN DUHHH!  

Wouldn't you like to know.

Whelp.  I'm back.  Let's get the low-down in bullet form. 

• The first day was Friday.  
• It took eight hours to get to Virginia.  That is too many hours. 
• We went through some insane lightening storms - very exciting.  
• The hotel was livable, but not delicious. 
• The second day was Saturday.  
• The breakfast at the hotel was pathetic. 
• We went to SVU where we supposed to mix and mingle.  
• We did neither.  
• The people spoke.  Blah blah blah.  
• I didn't allow Mother to go on a tour.  
• We ate delicious food in the dining hall.  
• I was never really nervous about being unfed at that place.  I knew that they were talented in the arts of food.  
• We then walked around a little.  
• Went to the girl's dorms.
• They have AC - win.
• They are far from everything else on campus - unwin.
• I'll have a car - equalizer. 
• I'll probably have either 2 or 3 roommates - we'll see.
• We went to the bookstore.
• It's basically a mini version of the BYU bookstore.
• Very mini.
• But just as nice.
• Nothing like the Fordham bookstore - which was awful.  
• I got my lanyard. Which is basically the only reason for why I wanted to go SVU. - Check. 
• We drove around town then went to Wal Mart. 
• This is where I got my ball.  
• This was one of the best things that happened to me.  
• It's a bouncy ball, but the size of your fist.  
• It's filled with a liquid and blue GLITTER. 
• We went back to the hotel and rested.
• The third day was Sunday.
• We didn't go to church but we went to Cracker Barrel - which was surprisingly good. 
• This is where I got those little wax bottles with colored liquid.  Very fun.  
• We then went to my uncle's house with his three cute little girls and their fresh set of twins.  
• So much fun - plan to return.  
• Then we went to my grandma's house and rested. 
• The fourth day was Monday. 
• Grandma made us an extravagant breakfast  - miles better than the hotel breakfast. 
• Grandma gave me this water thing which I forgot I'm trying out right now.  Better go check it out. 
• A majority of the water was boiled away.  Good thing I checked.
• Then we left.  
• Made pretty good time - five hours.  
• Now I'm catching up on things - not doing my homework.  
• And tonight I have to go to an awards thing.  
• Waste. Of. Time.

Overall, it was a good trip.  Let's just say that I had bacon ever single day we were gone.  Good deal. 

...So that she would never know hunger.

Who has two thumbs and loves food?  Hopefully all of you.  If that's not the case, I hope it's because you don't have thumbs.

This lady was one of the best things that ever happened to me.  There are pictures for almost all of her recipes which is great for people who wonder what their food is supposed to look like.  

I remember the first time I realized I loved food was when I was at my grandma's house and I was watching the Food Network.  I loved it.  Couldn't get enough.  

So yeah.  Have fun with that site.  Not gonna lie - I check it every day.  

The best thing that can happen to you.

John Butler - Ocean. The moment I found this video I fell in love. This guy is amazing.
Your. Jaws. Will. Drop.

And So It Begins...

Ladies and Gentleman,

This is not the blog you are looking for. JUST KIDDING it totally is. I have no idea where this blog is going to take me. Hopefully to my bed, because that's my favorite place. But I'm thinking that's not very likely.

I've had a blog before, but this one is better. I wanted to make this one more about my college life. But it's a tad early for that. So it will be more like Mary's Musical: End of Senior Year... Then Summer... Then College. There may or may not be vomit involved - to be determined.

- - - Update: Three years later.

So much vomit.
