Cameo Apperances
So I have made two cameo appearances on two websites in the past little while.
First, for my work I made it onto their website! I'm the one in the white jacket http://www.shopsatriverwoods.com/
Second, I made it on the Provo Mayor's Blog! I'm in the collage, in the picture of the people sitting on top of the white house. What can I say, I had good seats :D -> http://provomayor.blogspot.com/2011/07/parade-from-my-view.html

Not my best work
I'm working on an Independent Study essay and this is the first paragraph that I just wrote...pre-final draft of course:
"There are three mathematical problems that arose in Ancient Greece that have provided endless hours of methodical thought for mathematicians throughout time. However, it was established in the 19th century that they cannot be solved save by approximation using a straightedge and compass. They still influence mathematicians today because as these problems are attempted to be solved, many mathematicians have created a form of mathematics that creates a whole new section of mathematics for mathematicians to use."
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttthhhhhhh...th.

Funny Photos
So I've taken a lot of photos that make me giggle lately and I thought I'd share them. Enjoy~!
First things first, I went to go see "Narnia: The Musical". Yeah, I know. It was just about as epic as it sounds. But my friend was directing it and the guy that played Mr. Tumnus was pretty spectacular :D So I was happy with it, overall. This is my roommate, who kindly and magnanimously went with me. :D
So the play was at a school in Springville I believe...whatever city is 15 min south of Provo. The theater had a wall wholly dedicated to old school photos of the cities annual parade. I have two photos that were my favorite. The one above is of the Golden Onion award that reminded me of the "Good Egg" awards I used to strive diligently for in elementary school. So that little girl on the left is me, but with a huge egg award instead of an onion :D
Now the picture below I am going to give you my interpretation through dialogue.
Pageant Winner: "Ok, I'm here for the pageant photo shoot? Where should I go? Oh, over here? Ok. And you want me to wear...you want me to wear a statue of liberty costume? Ok, ok, I can do that."
1 hour later
Pageant Winner thinking: I've been standing here, envealoped in a flag, posing as the statue of liberty, and I still don't know what the fuzzy thing by my feet is...
Ok, I'm done pretending to be funny, but seriously WHO thought of this? It's just...it just makes me glad I'm not a pageant winner.
Yes, I thought it said Obama shaved ice too :D This picture was taken at my local Smith's grocery store and I'm just glad I had my camera.
So I went to the U2 concert this past month and I have to say...what do you have to do to get this job?!?! You get to sit up in a man-made arena and shine lights on a singer for 3 hours...at an EXTREME height. I'm just saying, it's pretty cool...and those seats are slightly ridiculous.

Who the heck are you?!?!?
Today I deleted me some 'friends' on facebook. Mostly it involved deleting people who came up in my mind as "Who the heck are you!?!?" However, my guilt-ridden mind from deleting friends came up with the idea to give them a final omage. However however, I only thought to do this half-way through. So here is an omage to some of my friends/observations.
Funny trend, I deleted all the Jacobs save my cousin. Apparently that name just isn't friend material unless I'm forced by fate to have a relationship with them...and thinking of the ones I deleted, it's horribly true.
Note: The perfect time to delete someone is when they're on their mission. Bwhaha! Ok, I only did this to one girl who I didn't recognize...but I don't think she'll miss me when she gets back...and if she does, then she'll just think that we weren't friends beforehand and she'll add me again :D
Honorable Mentions:
Jillian Robinson (friend of a friend I added once), Jeremiah Robinson (helping friend stalk him), Jerald Costa (he hated me, I don't know why we're friends...), Michael King, Shanlee Robertson (hahaha)
While I was going through names, there WERE some people who I didn't recognize that I kept. Either I couldn't tell who they were by their name or their picture. Yes, I too fell prey to friends who had gotten married that I wasn't even aware that they had gotten married. I then had the urge to delete every person who didn't invite me to their wedding...but I'm not spiteful *sticks nose in air*
The other people I kept even though I couldn't recognize them involved people I don't think I could get away with deleting @_@ I'm too afraid I'll see them awkwardly around campus. I'll have to wait til I move or something. And don't worry, if you're reading this, its not you. Though, if you don't wave to someone/say hi while you see them in real life then should you really be facebook friends? That's when you are only facebook friends in hope that the other person will be famous someday.
I also had trouble recognizing new friends @_@ I almost deleted my visiting teaching companion.
Ok, these next three girls I didn't delete, but they are all named Haley and are the only 3 Haley's I'm friends with. I'm sure you'll think what I was thinking when you look at the pictures, haha.
Once I leave college I will probably delete more...if my conscience allows it...

Ding Dong
So Osama Bin Laden is dead. President Obama announced it on Sunday and ever since then, the world has been reacting.
People will tell you how to feel.
You can already buy memorabilia.
Even the Vatican is sharing it's opinion:
"(Reuters) - Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden will have to answer to God for having killed many people and exploiting religion to spread hate, the Vatican said on Monday.
The Vatican has often condemned the concept of violence in God's name."
(which I thought was amusing considering the years of about 100 A.D. to about 1600 A.D. )
I've had various people tell me they had the Wizard of Oz song stuck in their head all day...myself included...Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!
But the thing I find most amusing are peoples interpretations on the event.
There's the Onion's opinion: "BREAKING: Violent Death Of Human Being Terrific News For Once http://onion.com/k1kJam"
Apparently his death is good and also not really effective at the same time for 'the market'.
3 people I follow on Twitter quoted Mark Twain:
I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure - Mark Twain
And of course we have to compare him to Hitler. Though it's actually a cool happenstance! Both Hitler and Osama were proclaimed dead to the world on May 1st. (Article here)
So what is my opinion? I thought I'd share something from my journal.
"My sincere reaction is that I am glad that a man so willing to kill so many innocents deserves his death. He could do nothing for this world but continue to bring irreparable damage to families and loved ones if he continued in his ways. However, I am reminded that God loves him. He is a son of God. And any pain caused on him from his sins, Christ too Atoned for. However, he also Atoned for all the pain that Osama himself caused upon so many of God’s other children . And may God be his judge. "
So has justice been served? Did Osama get Jimmered? The world is also horribly humorous about it all...which I believe shows a measure of insensitivity. This is about a man being stopped from killing more people. He hasn't stopped trying to kill civilians since September 11th. Yes, lots of other innocent civilians have died during the U.S. war on terrorism...does that compensate for our victory? We can only assume that the U.S. would stop creating casualties of war when terrorists stop attacking us. And that is a completely different goal than a terrorists'.
I'm glad so many people in the journalist world still have a moral compass...I'm glad they still ask these hard questions of 'Should we be rejoiced over revenge?' that I didn't want to ask because I was so happy someone had been brought to what I considered justice.

Dusting off the Keyboard
Hey! I'm alive!
Some random updates of happiness:
-I'm graduated! Whoot whoot! And while this is a very exciting moment in my life I can't help but feel all dressed up with no where to go. Gotta find a job!
-I got a Kindle for graduation! :D While it's weird to read off of it, I am getting used to it and loving it! I'm 8% away from finishing my first book on there, Mark Twain's Autobiography (which I have been dying to read since Christmas)
-I got one of my favorite callings for church! :D I can't say yet cause I haven't been called called, but I'm oober excited! :D
-I'm going to California in a week! :D I have to save my books and things from being thrown out but I also get to go to Six Flags (haven't been in 6-8 years) and the beach :D It's going to be a good weekend to say the least!
-I've paid for my study abroad and got a spiffy backpack! :D It's Dakine and I love it! 2 months~! Wow...in two months I will, for the first time ever, travel somewhere off the North American continent...I'm tempted to do my own version of 'Innocents Abroad' (By Mark Twain) (after I read it of course! :D)
