Pet peeve

My pet peeve:

Selfish, Self-Absorbed, Lazy, Immature Adults over 25.
Seriously.
Get over yourself.
Grow up.
Do something productive with your life...like get a freaking babysitter.....
Stop expecting others to serve YOU and start serving God and others.
If I am EVER like this....shoot me. I'm not joking.
I would rather be dead than completely self-absorbed and stupid.
Gah...

Bring the Rain

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty

Chad :)

So...God's timing is ironic...b/c exactly FIVE days after the worst date EVER with the weirdest guy EVER...I met a CUTE, smart, sweet, Catholic, funny guy named Chad ;)
We met @ Moxie...he is a customer haha
Haven't gone out on a date yet. (probably b/c i'm too busy!)
But he called me Wednesday! And visited me @ work Thursday :)
He's SO hot! And the Catholic thing makes him even HOTTer [haha don't make fun of me] ;)

Addicted...i heart K.C. ;)

I LOVE this Kelly Clarkson song!!!! :)

ADDICTED

It's like you're a drug
It's like you're a demon I can't face down
It's like I'm stuck
It's like I'm running from you all the time
And I know I let you have all the power
It's like the only company I seek is misery all around
It's like you're a leech
Sucking the life from me
It's like I can't breathe
Without you inside of me
And I know I let you have all the power
And I realize I'm never gonna quit you over time

It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me

It's like I'm lost
It's like I'm giving up slowly
It's like you're a ghost that's haunting me
Leave me alone
And I know these voices in my head
Are mine alone
And I know I'll never change my ways
If I don't give you up now

It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me

I'm hooked on you
I need a fix
I can't take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I'll handle it, quit it
Just one more time
Then that's it
Just a little bit more to get me through this
I'm hooked on you
I need a fix
I can't take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I'll handle it, quit it
Just one more time
Then that's it
Just a little bit more to get me through this

It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me

Who I Am

There's this song called "Who I am"--it's kind of an old country song (as in like 5 years or something haha), by this girl Jessica Andrews. It was like her one-hit wonder, but I loved it! The line I always remember is:"I am Rosemary's granddaughter, spitting image of my father, and when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan..." Anyway, this desire to just write a little "Who I am" thing just for kicks popped into my head...


I think frozen yogurt is WAY better than ice cream!

I'm sensitive, but I never cry.

Running gives me a high.

I can get pretty mad, but also forgive very easily.

I love white chocolate double americanos!

I think the ocean is magical.

My heroes are my Grandma, Lorissa Ann, Nicole Nielsen, & Andrija.

My cousin Leanna is better than a best friend...she's the sister I always prayed for.

My 3 best friends are Megan, Hattie, and Jessica--and they are amazing :)

There's this person in the back of my head and heart who I'm in love with, and until I find someone better he's the one!

I never sing in the shower, but love to sing in the car!

The rosary relaxes me.

I love being around junior high kids!

I have to sleep with one of my dogs ;)

I think Urban Outfitters is SO COOL!!

My favorite city is Portland, because it is the City of Roses.

I'm addicted to Grey's Anatomy.

Selfish adults frustrate me...

I have been a BSU fan since birth!

I have driven from Minnesota to Washington!

The fact that I took time off of school does NOT diminish my dedication and determination!

I only like one cat--mine!

I drive fast ;)

I babysit for 3 boys who melt my heart :)

I hate beef and love buffalo.

I have yet to kiss in the rain.

I cannot be boxed into a political party.

I enjoy being a brunette.

I need to learn how to cook (well)...

I struggle a bit with high heels ;)

I can't stand judgmental people!

I love Pita Pit & Mongolian BBQ more than any other food!

I know God has a plan.

I know WHO I AM.

I've been avoiding this haha...

So yeah...I've not been on this in awhile.
It actually feels like longer.
Stuff.....
But yeah, basically this is my excuse for now posting multiple blogs ;)

hmmmm...whats up? eh...

So I kinda failed to mention on the last blog (was it yesterday? i don't remember...) that I went on a date on Tues night. Ha. It was actually pretty lame. Because my friend Jessica, who is one of my best friends bless her heart & was the one who set me up with the guy, has a really dysfunctional relationship w/her boyfriend and they actually ended up breaking up and getting back together during this double date Tuesday night........yeah....drama is FREAKING fun :) not. So yeah, we were supposed to meet @ Moxie @ 930 when Kody (my date) got done w/night class @ BSU, go to the corn maze, and then get something to eat.
BUT...he got pulled over for speeding (b/c he was so excited to meet me no doubt, ha) and then Jessica & her b/f got into a fight and so we ended up meeting up w/Kody around 10:30.
And I was starving b/c I'd taken 3 ibuprofen, a vitamin, and an allergy pill all on an empty stomach around 830...b/c I'd just woken up from a nap, wasn't hungry, had a sore throat, and had bad allergies, and most of all, wasn't thinking!
So...to avoid me getting an ulcer and because it was so late we ended up just going to IHOP and eating. And that was OK except that Jessica's b/f is retarded and so conversations involving him were lame and contained too many F words...haha....However, when I talked to Kody by ourselves (during Jessica & Adam's "make-up" and then after IHOP) we had really good conversations. He is really sweet, and is going to school @ BSU to be a psychologist (common interests, yay). The one thing that is awkward is that Jessica (trying to entice me to go out with Kody) told me he was Catholic. Which...he was raised (kind of). But now he is 7th day adventist. Yeah, wow.......I was a little surprised to hear that. BUT I think it is a little unfair to not date him when that's the only thing wrong with him...so I'm giving it another shot. :)
We're going to the BSU/Hawaii tailgate/game tomorrow night, which is SWEET b/c I didn't think I'd get to go!
So yeah...we'll see where this goes...;)

BUT. beforehand @ Moxie Jess & I took some really CUTE pics, and she IS one of my besties...:) So here they are:

goofing off in the bathroom ;)


yeah she's a goof but i <3 her...;)

Hmm. What else.
OH YEAH!
My Little Nicole got SECOND @ City!!!!
And the only girl she beat was from BK who is a different division (4A) so THAT means she could WIN STATE!!!! (which she totally deserves to !!!)
I <3 her so much, she is amazing! And wherever she goes next year--BYU, Duke, Oregon State, whatever...she will be INCREDIBLE!

Ok well...I gotta go watch McCain on Letterman (HA!) and Greys I DVR'd.
But PEACE out
and VOTE PEOPLE !!!!
18 more days ;)
