blah blah blah...

My mind has been racing a mile a minute these past couple of days. Mostly about unimportant, trivial crap. Per usual. Don’t read this if you hate on blog posts that have WORDS. Because I know I do sometimes.

+ The best highlight of seeing Hairspray at the Scera this weekend was noting that they had to cast Tongans and olive skinned white people as the black kids in Baltimore. Oh Utah.

+ I don’t like Glee. I wish I did. Do you know how many discussions I get left out of?

+ I am moving to Salt Lake City TOMORROW. My beautiful, kind, and patient aunt let me crash at her home in American Fork while I searched for the perfect place to live. And finally, I found a charming little house in a charming little neighborhood in the middle of Sugarhouse. Really, I am in love. But I’ve had such a great time with my family that I will no doubt be shedding a salt watery substance from my tear ducts tomorrow. Oh, those are called tears, you say? I don’t do it often but I just know that crying is going to be inevitable tomorrow.

+ I’ve lost all creative inspiration lately. Blogs used to be my reading material of choice because they introduced me to such a beautiful and creative world that I never knew existed. I adored hopping from blog to blog written by girls that I aspired to be, doing things that I wanted to do, and loving things that I wanted to love. But now I’m bored. Does anyone have anything that inspires them these days that doesn’t have to do with cupcakes, letters to husbands and/or inanimate objects, weddings, quarter life crises, photography of pretty things, diy flower headbands, or outings to the nearest restaurant/gelato place/food truck? Don’t get me wrong, I love those things (minus the letters). I have even blogged about these things (note the cupcake rant a couple posts down, haha) but I feel like I’ve seen it all before and it doesn’t get me excited anymore. I am craving something fresh.

+ I have been trying to grow my hair long for the past couple of years and now that it’s near the length that I’ve been working so hard to reach, I hate it. Of course. I’m hating on it so bad that I’m thinking chopping it off into a bob and dying it a rich, dark, RED. That’s right! I want to be a ginge! And yes, I know it’s a horrible idea. Must be me just being bored and creatively uninspired. See how it’s affecting my important life decisions??

+ My computer crashed and I lost all of my music. I lost my super old versions of itunes and limewire that allowed me to download for free to my hearts desire. But I guess the upside to all of this is that my friends won’t look at me anymore like the dirty thief that I am (was). Looks like I’m going to have to purchase my first song off of itunes after 4 years!

+ The GRE can suck it. I hate this test and I haven’t even taken it yet. I bought a book but every time I open it up to study I all of a sudden find myself deep cleaning my room, grocery shopping, or calling a friend that I haven’t talked to in months. Funny how that works.

+ One of the speakers in General Conference today said that the grass is never greener on the other side. I have thought about this concept a lot in the past year and always believed it to be true, but it was definitely like a kick in the stomach hearing it from an apostle. It’s real, it’s raw, it’s human, and it’s a little painful knowing that trials will always be constant and that life will never be perfect, even though that’s what we’re trying so hard to achieve. But it’s also a pretty hopeful and humbling concept if you look at it with the right perspective.

+ Can you believe that I just bought my fourth bridesmaids dress within a year?

+ October is and will forever be my baby. I LOVE this time of year. The Utah leaves get themselves all pretty and I am always cranking out those pumpkin flavored treats. But the best is visiting the corn maze at Thanksgiving Point, visiting the Haunted Forest, and watching a couple scary movies every weekend up until Halloween graces us with her lovely presence.

Ahhh this was long. Maybe I should just buy a journal?
