Sleeping at my Desk

I don't know when I became narcoleptic but I can pretty much fall asleep anywhere. My favorites so far are: when I was on my mission and fell asleep many times while my companion was talking, I started to be know as the sleepy one. Another favorite was when I worked at Heritage Halls at BYU. I think part of my job description should have stated that I was to be a listening ear for my boss. She was just lonely, but I didn't have to respond at all and she would just keep right on talking. I got really good at sleeping and opening my eyes right when I heard her turning to look at me. I don't know if she ever caught on that I was sleeping as she was talking and looking at her computer screen. This past year I even fell asleep while on the phone at work. I was giving our address and was on auto pilot. I guess I skipped part of it and the lady was confused why there wasn't a street that went along with the address. I quickly caught myself and realized that I had been talking to her in my sleep and corrected myself before she was the wiser. Some times it's a blessing and some times it's a curse. Today it's a curse. I hope no one saw me this morning.

I Guess it's my Turn

"Here are the rules as passed on - Each player starts with seven random facts about themself. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven people to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog!"

So here are my seven random facts but I'm not going to tag people because I don't know seven people with blogs. In fact I don't even think I know seven people.

Fact 1. I think it's funny when people fall down or trip. I know it isn't nice but it's just so unexpected that it makes me crack up. Unless of course they get hurt then it's just mean to laugh....until later if it's really funny.

Fact 2. I like to sneeze, I think it's fun. They just spontaneously come out and all of the sudden all the attention is on me. It's kind of like I am the famous sneeze girl for 3 seconds or so.

Fact 3. I want to take up the hobby of treasure hunting. I think it would be very exciting and lucrative. I first need to find a map and then I want to quit my job and treasure hunt full time.

Fact 4. Given the choice between death by chocolate and death by fire, I would choose the death by chocolate.

Fact 5. My favorite singers are Martina McBride and Rob Thomas.

Fact 6. I'm afraid to use Ebay. I don't want to get junk if I buy something and I don't want to sell someone I don't know something and have them get mad at me if it is junk.

Fact 7. I want to be in the credits of a movie before I die. I don't have any skills that would get me there but I'm hoping maybe some day I'll be able to contribute something or someone will give me an honorable mention just because.

There they are. I feel like they are more confessions than facts but so be it.

Creepy Leg Rubbing Guy


So about a year and a half ago this creepy guy sat by me on the bus, he was a big guy and sat way too close. His leg kept rubbing up against mine and it really creeped me out. The next time he sat by me I wedged by backpack in between us and was trying to discretely force him off the seat. I haven't seen him for a long time, thankfully, and yesterday I was talking to a girl I know, who asked if I knew creepy leg rubbing guy. Instantly I knew who she was referring to. She said that he does it to everyone, even guys. What a weirdo. It made me laugh really hard because this whole time I've thought it was just me and maybe I was just paranoid, but apparently he has a weird leg rubbing fetish. There are some strangies out there.

URINETOWN

So last night I saw Urinetown, it's a musical....not that kind of urinetown, I see that one multiple times a day, that's nothing to brag about. This is a musical making fun of places that make you pay to use the bathroom. I guess a guy went to Europe and was shocked at how much money he had to spend on bathroom visits. Anyway he and a friend wrote the musical as a joke and it ended up becoming really popular. Anyway it was pretty fun and I haven't been to a high school musical since I was in high school. I was trying to blend in with the high schoolers but I don't know if I succeeded. Anyway I think I can call my life complete now that I've seen a play called Urinetown.

Waterfalls


I like waterfalls, they make me happy. But what doesn't make me happy is trying to work with the dumb layout thing on this. I guess it's cause I'm still a novice and don't know what I'm doing. It's annoying though. Mostly I'm just playing around to see what I can do with this crazy blog thing.

Commitment Dragon


Once upon a time in the land of Turnberry a challenge was decreed to all of the single royal subjects. All were to begin courting in order to find a possible suitor. Every young single person anticipated the prospect of winning the grand prize of a magical evening with the king and queen.

There was a fair maiden in the land who decided to give fate a try and to sign up for the challenge. She was very nervous but asked three young men to escort her to various places in the land. One young man stood out among all the rest, he was strong and brave and gallant, everything she had ever hoped for. He and the fair maiden hit it off right from the start. Love was in the air; surely this was the intent of the king and queen to have two of their subjects fall in love and to be the shinning example for the rest of the kingdom.

One night just when everything seemed to be going perfectly, the gallant young man was walking through the forest on his way to meet the fair maiden when along came the infamous commitment dragon and swallowed him up whole. Much to the dismay of the fair maiden, no traces of him could be found. Alas, he was gone. The commitment dragon had once again stolen the happiness of the people of Turnberry.




I'm a Blogger!

I'm so dang excited to have my own blog. I know I won't have anything exciting to contribute but at least I feel cool now. I plan on using this for my amazingly insightful observations and incredibly witty thoughts about the world. So with that I will now enter the world of the bloggers.
