I've just had a huge upwelling of affection for my Relief Society sisters. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my attendance at church today being my own decision. I have an apartment, I no longer live with my parents. I could easilly text my dad and say:

"OMG Dad, I am so exhausted and so flustered and baffled, and my body hurts so bad from two long, long days of moving-- and now the Comcast guy is here putting in TV and Internet and I just really don't feel up to it today,"

And I know that my parents wouldn't've batted an eye. But I decided to come, and I was here just in time for Relief Society, and I heard that Debbie got her endowments and Marika was baptized for her parents and grandmother, and it was like I was falling in love with Relief Society. I've been going to Relief Society since I was 18, but only just now, at almost 23, I totally love it.

I feel really awesome right now.

so i'm still feeling kinda down; took a day off work to give myself a longer weekend so i can hopefully feel better quicker >.>;;

but anyway, to make up for the angst, here are some things which are funny.

it's been a hard day

2009-09-11T03:56:27Z

i am just so sick of everything, i feel like everything and everyone is trying to stop me from getting anything done. i feel like i haven't finished anything all year, and it makes it really hard to keep on going. and i hate my job, i just want to get to university and get all of my JC stuff taken care of, i can't stand living with my family anymore.

and i just found out that i'm not on my parents' dental insurance somehow, so now i have to pay for all the dental work i just got done that i got done so that i could AVOID having to pay for it. that's gonna pretty much squash any hopes of moving out. dental work is expensive.

i'm just so sick and tired of not liking anything about anything i do anymore. i'm tired of being dissatisfied and lonely all the time. there's so much i want to do, but i feel like i'm just spinning my wheels~ 22 years old, and i'm still sleeping in the same room i've slept in since i was 12, in the house i've lived in since i was 5. i so want to move out and get my adulthood and the family-less portion of my life started...

it's all just so frustrating. every day i feel more and more tired, more and more weighed down by the people and the reality around me. i'm tired of people questioning everything i do, and doubting me, offering suggestion after suggestion, talking without ever listening, and telling me that i'll probably end up dropping out of school. i mean, how awful is that? people, as in multiple people, have said that to me. i just feel like i get no actual encouragement from my family and from most of the people i see. i'm so insecure and so afraid of so many things, and i try so hard not to be and i try to be capable and together and confident, but it's just so damn hard and all i want to hear is, "just try your best, it's all you can do," or "you're smart enough, you can do it," or when all i want is a big hug, and all i get is criticism. and i try to be cheerful, and i try to be positive because i used to be so much the opposite way, and i'm so afraid of getting cynical again. i'm so afraid of becoming like so many adults i know who are so busy discussing politics and mortgages and complaining about all the idiots in the world-- i just don't want to forget that nothing is worth being cynical over, and nothing is so bad that i can't come back from it... but i dunno. it's so hard to stay positive when so few people around you are positive also.

which is why i want to go on drives so often, because it's one of the few things i have going for me that is so good and relaxing and fun and without burden, and Linnet and Steven are so wonderful and accomidating to and accepting of my childishness and insecurities. they're really the best friends a kid could ask for, they're everything to me that i wish my family would be.

it's all just so hard, and i know it's part of growing up, finding out just how hard it is and learning how to deal with it all, and i know it'll all be okay and everything will work out eventually, but right now i don't want to be a big grown up girl who puts on a cheerful face and says something uplifting to show just how brave and mature she is. right now i just feel sad and angry and frustrated and lonely, too worn down to cover it up anymore, and i just want to sit here and cry.

~*~

PS and Mica, i can't tell you how much talking to you helps me~ did you know you happen to spend most of your time on twitter right while i'm at work? it's the best.

So yesterday...

2009-09-06T18:04:28Z

i took a very interesting fall yesterday, and now i can feel it all over xDD

i don't know what all happened, but as i was getting out of the car and somehow ended up suspended between an ankle twisted in a seat belt, and the window of the open car door xDD

so i have gnarly bruises under my right arm where i caught the window and on my calf where i hit the car, and my whole right side feels all stretched out XD

it was quite possibly the most graceful thing i've ever done.

and i'd gone for a 3-hour drive to get a slush and some bakery goods, while listening to my brother talk about Dungeons & Dragons the whole time...

but to finish off the day, we went to the beach last night and ended up leaving with more than we'd arrived with. but i mean.... who can do with A Pretty Sweet Chair and A Pretty Sweet Towel?

all in all, it was an interesting day xD

d'awww

2009-09-01T03:17:24Z

Johnny Fedora & Alice Bluebonnet is quite possibly the cutest, sweetest, most heartbreakingly adorable cartoon i have ever seen.

i don't tear up every time i see it. certainly no.

Question: When will i get over how visually stunning Watchmen is? Answer: NEVER.

2009-08-31T06:07:38Z

I want to post, I really do. I have much to write about. So why can’t I seem to put words on the screen on my chosen topic when I get in front of the screen?

i think because i've been composing my life into one-liners.

thanks a bunch, twitter.

2009-08-30T02:52:15Z

Happy Birthday, King of Pop.

SO GUYZ.

2009-08-24T06:58:12Z

for the past three nights i have gone to the same beach. i have frollocked through waves, run around in little lakes of sea water, soaked myself, almost cried from excitement and amazement....

and all because of one thing.

bioluminescent plankton.

these little guys wash up along our coast and they are *amazing*, and they glow like crazy! there are only a few things i can use to describe what they look like-- 1) they glitter like the LED lights in cars 2) the waves light up like Fantasmic! at Disneyland 3) they remind me of Michael Jackson's video for Billie Jean when you step on them and 4) that part in Ferngully when they run through the water.

it's the most magical, most incredible, most mind-blowing and beautiful thing i have ever seen in my life. with every step, with every slash through the water, with every crashing wave, millions of tiny bodies lit up and danced. it's absolutely magical.

truly the most incredible thing i've ever seen in my life. it's amazing, what happens in nature. absolutely stunningly, mind-blowingly amazing. Linnet, Steven, and I have spent all summer hoping for a night when it's truly intense, and now i've gotten three! it's been marvelous. little glittering bodies by the millions.

THIS IS WHY I CAN NEVER LEAVE CALIFORNIA.

words do not describe. it's amazing.

So listen.

2009-08-17T01:36:16Z

so today i killed my watch by rescuing my two year old niece from the 6ft deep portion of a swimming pool.

it's been an exciting day.

Hilarious Self-Protraits

2009-08-06T01:03:20Z

got my hair cut.

the layers on top are a little too short, and the bangs are a little too short. but those will grow out fast enough xD;; other than that, i pretty much really like it!

after i got my hands on it. XD

the guy who cut it* put all this volume in it and got it all poofy, which i hate more than i can possibly say xD but once i got it flattened out, it was much improved.

i might try dying it again, a darker brown. we'll see.

i feel like i need more hipster-y clothes to go with my new hipster-y hair xDD

*was hilarious xDD he said i looked too "innocent and plain" with my old haircut and said that i would "fit into more places" with "wild" hair XDDDD i dunno, he made me want to fall over laughing, except for that i didn't want to anger the man with the scissors. HILARIOUS.

fffbbbppppttt.

2009-08-04T02:02:24Z

For Steven

2009-07-24T04:04:06Z

Here you are, Steven! I know it's alot, but my family has alot of tips when it comes to Disneyland. I asked for input from everyone at my home, and I think we've put together the most important information. Other than that, don't worry and just have fun! Disneyland is full of all kinds of wonderful things.

Jessica's Disneyland Tips

1. Fast Passes and Line Waiting
Not every ride has Fast Pass because not every ride's queue accommodates it. For the rides that do have them, this is the way they work:
These rides have two lines: Stand By and Fast Pass. Fast Pass machines are located at the rides. You need your park admission ticket to get one. You stick your ticket in the machine and it gives you a Fast Pass Ticket. The ticket says something like, "Return Between: 7:45pm and 8:45pm." Come back to the ride any time after 7:45 (or whatever time the ticket says. IGNORE THE SECOND NUMBER. NO ONE CARES.) and enter the Fast Pass line. Really good in the summer time because some rides get several-hour-long waits xD;;
You can only have one Fast Pass per admission ticket at a time. You can't go to another booth until after 7:45 (or whatever the ticket says).

IMPORTANT NOTE!! Here is the Morrison Family Method: Good First Thing rides are the Mountains and Indiana Jones and Finding Nemo. When your group gets to the ride, hand the whole group's admission tickets to one person and have them run to Splash Mountain and get fast passes. Fast Passes at Splash Mountain disappear FAST so get your Pass early!
Finding Nemo is also a good ride to hit early because it doesn't have Fast Pass and its line gets HUGE HUGE HUGE.

In Disneyland, some rides are worth getting a Fast Pass, but other rides don't bother. Indiana Jones, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, and Buzz Lightyear are all worth getting Fast Passes for because they are popular. And don't be afraid of the long line outside Pirates Of The Caribbean, Thunder Mountain, and Mattahorn Moutain. Those lines move fast. Fantasyland is good the hit early or late at night. The lines there get nuts in the middle of the day, and although I love those rides, they are not worth a long wait xD;;

In California Adventure, go to Soarin Over California first and have someone go get Fast Passes for the whole group at the Grizzly Rapids Ride. Those disappear as fast as Splash Moutain's. It's also good to get a Fast Pass for the roller coaster, California Screamin' and the Monsters Inc ride. Hollywood Tower of Terror's line doesn't usually get too long and that ride is AAAAAWESOME.

AND ONE MORE THING: A half hour is worth waiting on any ride. An hour wait is not worth it unless the ride is REALLY COOL.

2. Food
Main Street:
Blue Ribbon Bakery/Gibson Girl get long lines, but it's got nice stuff and ice cream, also the only place to get coffee. Candy shop is full of
yummyness 8D Carnation Cafe is good and cute.
Tomorrowland:
DON'T EAT AT TOMORROWLAND TERRACE. Pizza Port is pretty good. They have pizza, pasta, and salad... It's also the least expensive
food in the park. You get plenty of food for your dollar.
Fantasyland:
Village House is okay. Don't buy the burgers. Fantasia Freeze! Slushies! SO GOOD.
Frontierland:
Big Thunder Ranch has good BBQ, but needs a reservation and is kinda expensive. Don't go to the Mexican place.
The Riverbell Terrace is GREAT for breakfast! It's my very very favorite. It's located by the Rivers Of America, right by the Pirates ride. Some
people should wait in line to order, but stake one or two people outside by the tables and try to nap a table along the fence, overlooking the
river. It's a really lovely spot.
Adventureland:
Bangel BBQ is GOOD, but pricey. Good snack. THE DOLE STAND. OMG. DOLE WHIPS, PINEAPPLE SPEARS,
DOLE WHIP FLOAT. DO IT DO IT DO IT.
New Orlean's Square:
Good food here! Soup in a bread bowl place is good, French Market has good sandwiches, Cafe de Orleans--
GET A MONTE CRISTO HERE. DO IT. Also, the cheapest table service restaraunt in the park. Blue Bayou is a very nice restaraunt, needs a
reservation. It's a bit expensive, but it's beautiful inside. It's inside the Pirates ride! Right on the bayou! MINT JULEP BAR, LOCATED
BEHIND THE FRENCH MARKET, NEAR THE TRAIN STATION. GET. A. MINT. JULEP. GET ONE. DO IT.
Critter Country:
The candy store here ROCKS!! Cookies are SO GOOD. Critter Country is small, but OH MAN the candy store, which is called Pooh's
Corner.
Toon Town:
More slushes! There's a little food court-type spot where you can get pizza and hotdogs.

California Adventure:
Boudin's bread place is good for soup and sandwiches, there's a Hotdog place in the Hollywood section, a burger place by Soarin' Over
California where the burgers AREN'T munge! There's really not much there otherwise.

Downtown Disney:
Which is located between the two parks~ there's a Haagendaz ice cream shop, Jamba Juice, some restaraunts (Mapels is pretty good
pizza, The Jazz Kitchen is Cajun, Catal is expensive but excellent, The Elephant Bar is pretty good), a Wetzel's Pretzels which is good... and
some cool shops!

3. Shows
See the fireworks! Don't wait until the last day! Sometimes the fireworks get cancelled due to high altitude winds. Get a spot close to the
castle to watch them and start waiting about an hour before the show is scheduled to start. Get a snack at the Bangel BBQ or something
from the Dole stand or some ice cream or something and just hang out. Main Street really is a cool place to hang out and watch people,
too, so you won't get bored waiting.

Fantasmic! Soooo worth it! Try heading there straight after the fireworks and if things are crazy, then just get there earlier the next day. For
some reason there's this Thing people do where they mob Fantasmic a million hours early, so you might have to wait several hours for
that one to get a good seat.

Electric Light Parade at California Adventure is good, of course 8D get there an hour early and see how the crowds are~ Go see Aladdin
there, too, it's really awesome (and is air conditioned XD)

Billy Hill and the Hillbillies play at the theater in Frontierland and are super worth it~ get a rootbeer float, take a break from the heat, and the
show is hilarious xDD

4. Cool Things
In Disneyland:
Trash Can Trio! If you see three guys rolling big metal garbage cans in Tomorrowland, hang out and see if they perform. They're pretty awesome 8D

Merlin does a show in Fantasyland by the Carosel that's pretty hilarious, where a kid gets to pull the Sword out of the Stone. If you see him in action, hang out and watch~

Walk through the castle! They redid it! It's really nice!

In Fantasyland, watch the window above the Snow White ride 8D

In Tomorrowland, look for the garbage can which says "PUSH" on the flap. There is only one. It moves and talks. Sometimes he is in California Adventure, too

5. THE REALLY REALLY COOL THINGS
DRIVE THE MARK TWAIN!! There's a big white steam boat that goes 'round the river. Find out when it docks there in Frontierland and ask one of the Cast Members working at the dock and say, "Can we drive the Mark Twain?" not many people know about it, and you'll get to feel special ^_~

You can do something similiar at the Train Station! Ask one of the conductors if you can do the "All Aboard!!" call over the speaker, and/or ask if you can sit up by the engine. Only two people fit up there. Also little-known, like driving the Mark Twain, and also really awesome ^^

~*~

ARE YOU OVERWHELMED, STEVEN??? xD;; Well, those are my tips. Hope they help!

Good news!

2009-07-22T18:28:54Z

it seems i have not been allowed to stay too angry.

my older brother is scheduled to return from Iraq in September! (he'll be back before his oldest's next birthday in October, which everyone --especially Kairi-- is really excited about.)

my sister in law called us yesterday to let us know that the cut off date for shipping things to him is August 15th. the thing that's cool about the cut off date is that it really really means he'll be coming home. we've heard alot of speculated dates for a long time, but now he really is coming home! hurray!

8D

so ya, i'm excited.

Bad Day

2009-07-21T06:28:57Z

today sucks. today just really, really sucks.

i got some news about camp that just really really pisses me off and worries me and has me feeling really down and exhausted and deflated, and has had me crying my eyes out for the past hour. and now i'm just so exhausted, buuuuuut.... i dunno, as of right now i am having a hard time wanting to leave on Saturday.

we're not cooking for ourselves up at Camp this year. because it's "too hard" for the ward leaders to take cooking equipment up to Camp. which i think is total crap.

it sounds stupid, and it probably is. i'm probably too invested emotionally into Camp, i'm probably too attached to it for my own good. but every year i see some piece of the camping portion of Camp get chipped away, and every year i feel like Camp is slowly losing an incredibly important part of what makes it so special.

i dunno. i was going to go all into it and write it all out but i'm just too tired for it. which leaves everything looking pretty lame, like, why would she be so upset about this?? the girls don't do hardly anything for themselves anymore, and where is the learning if you're not doing? if you don't work hard and gets your hands dirty, how can you ever learn? how can you ever build relationships and figure out about teamwork if you're not actually working together? teenagers are only willing to learn so much from being talked at in a classroom setting~ so much of a true gaining of knowledge comes when you're not even necessarilly looking for it.

i dunno. i'm just upset. and i'm sick and tired of leaders who are more concerned about how hard it'll be for them and not concerned enough about creating a full and well-rounded experience for the girls.

Camp is for the GIRLS. it is for THEM to learn and for THEM to try new things and be challenged. so when i get there, i'm going to do my best to be positive and enthusiastic, despite my own personal concerns and worries. i might be incredibly upset, but like i said-- Camp is for THEM. not for ME.

Last Night

2009-07-19T17:46:59Z

I CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO MICHAEL JACKSON.

~*~

last night was kinda pretty awesome* 83

we took a drive up the north coast, leaving at about 8:30-ish, just as the sun was sinking below the horizon for good**. we rocked out to Michael Jackson, talked about this and that, aiming toward Fisk Cove a bit over an hour away, and at some point discovered that the waves visible from WAY HIGH UP ON THE CLIFFS were --GLOWING--. D8 none of us have ever seen the waves glow so brightly from so far away, but what sucked was that we were too far up the coast and had passed all the beaches that were easy to get to in the dark.

so we kept going to our original destination, planning on checking out the glow-y-ness on the way back. and Fisk Cove was awesome! slightly treacherous in the dark, but awesome nonetheless. feilds and rocks, small but precipice-tastic cliffs, some rocks, a small stream... but eventually we made it to the rocky sea, and pulled up a rock to enjoy the evening on.

the sky was insanely clear!*** we spotted satelites and shooting stars, constellations, a remarkably clear Milky Way****, and we found Boris of Poland, who enjoys sandwiches and easy back chairs. he was composed of a couple trees that looked like an old man eating a sandwich XD

and then i injured myself a bit xDD ! not bad, though! i just took a bad step into a place where i thought there would be a rock but was a foot-deep drop. scraped up my foot, but not too bad.

it was lovely and fun and a great spot~ i'd love to go back there during the day for a picnic or something.

THEN WE DROVE BACK. and stopped at a beach. and enjoyed the glowing sand. i've never seen it so bright, it was like magic. it was the most magical thing i've ever seen.

i went to bed at around 3am-ish~ i wish it hadn't been so late and we hadn't all been so tired when we got down to the beach! leaving something as spectacular as glowing waves and sand are is extremely hard. also, climbing back up the dunes to the car was very hard on such worn out muscles xDD;;

BUT THE WORN OUT-NESS WAS SO WORTH IT.

it was a really fun night ^^

*i have such good friends.

**for the evening

***despite the fact that the coast here, especially right on the water, is 8 times out of 10 shrouded entirely in fog at that time of night.

****my international friends! when the sky is really clear and you see an arm of our galaxy stretching across the sky, what do you call it? do you call it The Milky Way? or something else?
