Pardon the delay...
... but I'm too much of a perfectionist for this little project to have come any sooner.It's the very end of January, and I'm quite sure the last thing anyone wants to hear is Christmas music. However, I started making this video right after Thanksgiving and then used some footage of my family over Christmas break to finish it. So all you haters can learn to deal and just let a little bit of Christmas spirit back into your lives during these bleak winter months. :)P.S. Normally this would've ended up on Facebook, but I've got too many home-made music video's posted on Facebook at the moment for...
V Capítulo "Noite à volta da fogueira" parte II
-Haha, deixa-me adivinhar, depois os elfos vieram com o seu potinho de ouro cheio de bolachinhas com recheio de arco-íris… – provocou Cyrus, interrompendo a sensação de terror que se estampou na cara das miúdas. Em especial a Kyra, que grudou-se ao Scorpio.- Qual é a graça?- Vá lá, pessoal! Não há historias mais horripilantes que esta? Ainda por cima mal contada. Brian acabou por hoje. Da próxima sugiro que contem algo sobre o Freddie Krueger ou do Jack O Estripador.O tal de Brian sentiu-se tão ofendido, que baixou o entusiasmo, voltando para o seu lugar. Espetou o seu marshmallow em um galho...
Junior Overnight: Part 1
Damn. So much I can say.To be completely honest,the first day and a half was horrible.I didn't know why I even went.Yea, I had friends there, but I realized that I'm not really very close with a lot of my classmates. It's the worst feeling in the world to feel alone in a room full of people. I'd rather be alone by myself. All I wanted to do was go hike somewhere and seclude myself from everything. I just wanted to sit in the warm sun with the cool breeze blowing on my face - listening to the sounds of birds chirping and wood peckers pecking. I was having the worst time of my life. It reminded...
My school is made of epic win.
It's true, BYU comes out at the bottom of the party school list every year (a fact we are actually quite proud of). For this reason many people believe that BYU has got to be one of the most boring schools in the country.This video begs to differ.Eat that, [insert name of your preferred party school her...
A night in the life of the insomniac
College life has finally begun to take it's toll on me.Last semester I was living the high life. I had all afternoon classes, and only 2 classes each day. So I happily stayed up until obscene hours of the morning, simply because I could... and also because it would take me until then to actually start my homework. But because I could sleep in until noon, I was never tired.But alas, this semester is slightly different. I have a 10 am class (French) every day. 10 am doesn't give me a lot of room to sleep in. Especially if I plan to take a shower in the morning. However, my brain won't let me...

Tumblr - Day 22
Day 22:What makes you different from (mostly) everyone else?A lot of things.Physical differences would include:I have red hair.I've never broken a bone. I'm a lefty.One of my eyes looks like it pooped, because there's a small spillage of brown. When I was little, the tip of my finger was chopped off. It was put back on, but it looks slightly abnormal. Better than not having a fingertip, though. Other differences:I like pretty much all types of music.I'm very un-opinionated. I can't match a celebrity face to a name or vice versa. I have an abnormally short memory - both long term and short. I...

You Must Be Freshmen
Here's another college experience you cannot go without: dealing with the cops.Unfortunately, I go to BYU, which is located in quiet, very-Mormon Provo Utah. And Provo cops? Let's just say they'll never make a reality TV show about 'em. It would never measure up to Cops: Las Vegas, or Cops: Miami.So here's the story. My besties Kylan, Jordan, Holly and Ashley all decided we wanted a night on the town. But we didn't want just ANY night on the town. We wanted a CLASSY night on the town. So we got all dressed up in black suits and dresses, adopted Jersey Shore accents, and went over to the Malt Shoppe...
Tumblr - Day 20
Day 20:Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future.HAHAA! That's not possible to answer at this point in time in my life.Ask me again in a few years when I'm out of high school and settled in college. Of course, being a girl, I've imagined what it would be like if I were with one of my boyfriends for the rest of my life. Heck, even my dad told me that he could see me and my used-to-be current boyfriend (at the time being), raising our children together. "One day you and ___ will bring you children down here." At the time, I could see that happening.. and so could my (ex)boyfriend....
Ummmmm... WOW?
Forgive me if you're one of those people who has no patience with "out-of-date" things, but regardless of whether or not this video clip is from a season of Britain's Got Talent that aired several years ago, it doesn't change the fact that it's incredible.Also, slightly disturbing.Personally, I think that the audience and the judges initial reactions to him are just classic. :)"It's like a dog meowin...

Day 19:Nicknames you have; why do you have them.The reasons won't be super cool,but since you asked.. Becca - Most common nick name. I guess it's just a shorter version of my name for lazy people.. hahaBecky - My 3rd grade teacher would always call me Becky. Not many people call me Becky anymore. Becks - From my favoritest person, Nick Zappss(:Rebble - I suppose I got this because it's a mixture of "Rebecca" and "Rebel".. cuz you know me (;Recebba - Because I'm dyslexic. BeccaBoo - Mah girlss. BeccaBaby - Same as above. Well those are the generic boring ones.I can't really think of any others..Do...
Distractions, distractions...
Last night I sat down to complete my French homework. I'll admit I'm in a lower level of French than I really need to be, so this homework wasn't gonna take me very long at all. However, it ended up taking me a solid 2 hours to get that sucker done.Why, you ask? Well, it might have had something to do with the fact that half the time I was jamming out to MIMS. But it also probably had something to do with a midnight run to WalMart with my besties Holly and Ashley (the latter is also my roomie). We were on the hunt for some hair dye. Good ole' Ash wanted a change. Her color of choice: dark burgundy....

Those moments of joy...
So I always love those moments where you hear a little piece of news that makes you want to jump up and down and scream with excitement. Or in my case, ACTUALLY jump up and down and scream with excitement. Such a moment occurred for me the other night.I was out on aforementioned midnight excursion when all of a sudden I received a text from my RA, Hannah. Never in my life did I think that two words could pour so much joy into my soul."I'm engaged."Of course, no exclamation points or smileys or any other joyous details were needed. I knew how exciting this was for her. I mean, she's told me and...
Questionable Legality
So last night my friends and I decided it would be a fantastic idea to roam around Provo doing who-knows-what/whatever the heck we feel like doing until obscene hours of the morning. I snitched a few of my favorite photos documenting the excursion from Katie Farrenkopf's Facebook... hope she doesn't mind. :/First stop: The Malt Shoppe. This is our ONE normal photo. It went downhill (or uphill, depending on how you look at it) from here.Still at the Malt Shoppe. Kylan is secretly a ghost.Not too much later, we found ourselves sneaking around the Alpine Village apartment complex. Kylan and...
And so it begins...
Hi all!So for the past few months I've been fighting an internal war: should I start a blog, or no? I've always thought it would be a fun idea, but I could never think of anything that I would write about. Granted, I still can't think of anything to write about, but I was like "What the heck? Why not?" And so here I am!Let's hammer down some basics, shall we? I'm a freshman at BYU in Utah; I just started my second semester here, and I'm loving every minute of it! I'm astounded at the wealth of knowledge available here, and I'm soaking it up better than Sheryl Crow in the sun. :) Of course, I'm...

Day 18:Plans/dreams/goals you have.Wow. Hmm. I'm not good with plans/dreams/goals and the like.Some plans for the near future would be to get good grades, improve my friendships, make new friends, go to more sports games, go to the gym, go bicycling more often, eat healthier.. things like that. The reason I wanna go to more sports games is because I'm trying to vary and expand on things I like to do. I like watching sports, but I usually only watch them when I go to Islands and sit at the bar. So going to more sports game is step one for that. There's other things I want to add to my list of...

(Yes I realize that that's a common letter for someone's name, but that's kinda the point.)Anyway,E. .. Wow, now that I think about it, that's a VERY common letter. hahaANYWHO,I would love to switch lives with her,because she gets everything she wants. She can do just about anything she wants to.I would love to be spoiled like she is.Sure, it would make me a rotten, selfish...

You have a certain scent.I could recognize it anywhere.I had totally forgotten what it was.I didn't even remember you smelled like anything.But when I hugged you, a rush of nostalgia filled my senses.I remember, now.I remember it all. I can now be content.. because I remember you....
Closing Cycle
This has honestly got to be one of the best poems I have ever read.I did not write this - it was written by Paul Coelho, a writer and a poet.Either way, I still feel the need to share this with everyone.Everybody in my religion class has already read this,but for everyone else.. be prepared to read a greatly moving poem. "One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what...

Pretty, pretty girl.Don't do this to yourself.I don't know why in the world anyone would.You don't need to try to be me to get him to like you.He likes you, darling, he always will.Just because he also likes me doesn't mean you need to try and be me.You're perfect how you are.I feel guilty that you're trying to be like me. If it helps, I don't like him back.He's all yours, hun.But please - do me a favor.Listen to me when I say this:Don't you ever try to be anyone else, you're perfect the way you are....
Texting.
I absolutely REALLY dislike when this scenario happens:Somebody text me saying hey.I reply back to them saying hey. *One hour later and no response* ??What??I don't understand it.If you text me and say hi, I would think you wanted to talk to me.So when you just never respond,it's kind of annoying.I don't mind if you don't want to talk to me,but no one said you had to text me.If you're not gunna talk to me, just don't text ...
Addressed to your loss:
Craaaap.I am not all that good with talking to people about losses..it's one of the hardest things ever.There's no words you can say that will make it better.You can try to help,but you know that if you were the other person,you really wouldn't want someone else trying to comfort you.It sounds strange, but it's true. When you're in that position of having just lost someone,there's no words that will really comfort you.Or if there are,they're really hard to find. ~I'm sorry for your loss.That special person is looking at you from the heavens right now.They're having lots of fun up there.They miss...

Now I'm just relaxing at home and not doing my homework. 5 Honestly, do you think you are attractive? I s'pose I could be, on my good days. 6. Honestly, have you done something bad today? Snuck out of the house. It was for a good cause, is that still bad? o:7. Honestly, do you watch Disney channel? Hahaa. I don't...

Oh hey! They're tagged.*Click*Closed profile. Dang.*Continues to look through photos*Interesting person!*Click*Open profile! Yes!!Then you look through their photos.THEN, you will be hanging out with the original friend.. and the friend of theirs who you facebook stalked is with them.

Christofer Drew
So,I just sawone of my favorite singers of all time today.Christofer Drew.Here's the story:Jocelyn and I (and Stevie.. but he didn't care all that much)were just at Venice today.We saw a guy skateboard by,and Jocelyn tells me if was Christofer Drew. Obviously, I don't believe her.But I told her I would need to see his foot to really know.OKAY I KNOW THAT SOUNDS WEIRD. LET ME EXPLAIN.He has a peace tattoo on his foot.And the guy who was skateboarding was barefoot, so it wouldn't be TOO hard to find out. Unfortunately, he had already gone by. And I wasn't gunna be a creep and chase after him.So...

Boys. Guys. Dudes.
I love this feeling.It's almost a feeling of superiority.Or maybe it's just a nice self-confidence boost. I like when I'm having a conversation with my guy friendand we're talking about this "other girl" who he likes. And bymid-conversation, I can tell the girl is me. It just puts such a nicesmile on my face to know that a guy likes me. Every oncein a while, I will find out that someone new likes me. Someone who I never would have guessedlikes me.. (although sometimes, I cantake the hints). It's a mixture ofbeing conceited, complacent,and just being happy whilefeeling special and loved....

the sound of typing on keyboards.Aghh. It's so beautiful!!Mostly only when the person typing can typewell, fast, or at a nice pace without constant breaks.That's half the reason I like to type on a computerrather than write on paper. All that clinking and clanking,the harsh sound of someones finger hitting the backspace button,the loud and interrupting sound of the enter button,the slowing down in pace when someone is making surethey're spelling a difficult word correctly.. or maybe that's just me.

First Blog of the Year!
GREAT new start to a great new year.Today was a really great day.I went on an adventure with my friend and her mom.We drove to San Pedro and went to the pier.It was really gorgeous.Even though it was pretty cold, the cool breeze felt so refreshing on my face.The smell of the salt water and the different seafoods sizzling on the grill was so nostalgic and delightful.I wish I could have stayed there forever.We ordered lunch in a nice little restaurant.Then we went on a double-decker boat tour.It was really relaxing.I did get a little dizzy though, hanging off the sides :bThen we went back to her...
