TAG! I'm IT!

A: The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B: Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C: At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

What were you doing 10 years ago?

I had just turned eight and was doing everything that a normal LDS eight year old would be doing. I got into cub scouts, I got baptised, I broke up with my girlfriend because I wanted to be pure.


5 things on my "to-do" list today...

1. Do Homework for all my classes (I'm not going to do it though, probably just the stuff that's due tomorrow)
2. Figure out what I'm going to do for the modulation between "Fanfare" and "Save Them".
3. Practice Voice, particularly E lucevan le stelle which I've been avoiding for some odd reason... I actually don't know why...
4. Start eating healthily! (I like my words!)
5. Get to bed on time.



6 Snacks that I enjoy…

1. Chocolate

2. Cereal

3. A glass of milk

4. Anything really... Depends on my mood...

3 Bad habits...

1. I bite my nails. (But after looking at pictures of people's nails when I was looking for a picture to put on here, I think I'll stop forever.... ew! Never look up nail biting on google images!)

2. I worry about what people think of me too often.

3. I don't live the most structured life...

If I were suddenly a billionaire I would...

Buy myself a PS3, a few games, Go to Juiliard, Go on a mission, Invest/save the rest.


5 Places I've lived…

Uh... Actor of amazing-ness!

5 Things people don't know about me...

1. I love pillows! I have about five of them! I got a new one for my birthday. It's really nice and soft of fluffy, but the thing is... if you use it... it becomes less soft and fluffy but then what's the point of having a soft and fluffy pillow if you're afraid of it losing it's soft-and-fluffy-ness? Sorry I tend to argue with myself a lot... Ooo! I know what to put for number two!

2. I tend to argue with myself a lot!

3. I tend to over use "!" a lot, so I've been trying to really judge whether certain statements desereve an "!".

4. I think my friends think I'm not as smart as I actually am because many of the times they something and it would be really funny if someone acted stupid so I nominate myself to take the part... I have no idea if that actually made sense...

5. I can find the good in every situation... I just sometimes ignore it...

5 People I'm tagging...

Anyone who didn't take Jen's tag and do it! YOU'RE IT!

I'm Eighteen!

Tee Hee! I made it! I'm an "adult". :D

AWKWARD!!!

Ok, so this last weekend I had the opportunity to go to the Valentine's Dance. The theme was "RED" (lame, right?) I thought it would be fun and well, it was but it was so incredibly AWKWARD!!! Wait... lemme say that a few more times. awkward. Awkward. AWKWARD! (The more I say it the more awkward the word awkward looks) Ok, so now that you understand that it was awkward let me explain. I'll tell you what our plan was and what the awkward-ness was... (AWKWARD!)



Ok, well I sorta thought that maybe Emily liked me or something because I always caught her looking at me in choir which is weird because well nothing like that has ever happened to me like that. But I thought nothing of it and thought I was being weird... anyway, I decided to ask her to the dance, I don't know why, I thought it might be fun. I had no idea who I would ask...

Ok, so on friday, right after musical practice, we all headed over to Josh's Church (the rock one by Home Depot) When we got there we made up names for each other and decided which country we would be from and then participated in the Valentine's Olympics. Emily and I were Mia and Adrian from Sweden. We did a bunch of little events that don't matter to the story just know that it was fun. (It wasn't awkward yet, just so you know) We then played House of Fire which is a great game! I love that game so much but you have to be in a group divisible by four. (I won't go into that right now, but just so you know, it's great) After that we went home.

Ok, so here comes Saturday... hm... So I go to pick Emily up and when I answer the door her mom says "Oh, so YOU'RE Andrew!" In a very odd way I thought it was weird how she said it but I thought nothing of it. Anyway we then went to the Twitchell's home where we were given a menu of things like "Cupid's Arrow" and "Melt my Heart" and stuff like that. We had to number which courses we wanted first, second, third, etc. (up to seven) without knowing what it was we were ordering.
Here was my meal:
1. Celery and Carrot sticks
2. Bread Sticks
3. Salad
4. Rainbow Jello
5. Chicken Alfredo
6. Brownie and Icecream
7. Fancy Drink

It was probably to most amazing luck I've ever had. Oh and then we drew numbers to see what we would be eating our meal with. Some people had ice cream scoops and egg beaters, others had spatulas and whisks, I got tongs and a ladel. It was very fun but Emily had randomly hugged a few too many times for comfort but I felt weird saying something so I didn't. (I didn't really know her by the way, she's very reserved and is just kinda part of the group but I've never really gotten to know her.)

Well, we headed to the dance and in the car she sat incredibly close me the only time she didn't is when I buckled up. (Awkward!) (Oh and by the way I did my very best to not encourage this behavior but I couldn't do anything that made me feel mean... which I probably should have.) When we got to the dance she took it as an opportunity to hug me almost constantly. I had to start getting really creative to get out of her grasp. On the way out of the dance she grabbed my hand! I hadn't held someone's hand before and I wanted my first time to be with someone I actually liked. (So I was like, "AWKWARD!!!!!!!!!" in my head, but I didn't want to be mean and pull my hand away.) I did try to find creative ways of releasing her hand but she would take it as soon as she could again. She leaned on me on the way back to the Twitchell's. I tried a lot to get away from her so I could breathe but she never relented. (Take a hint, woman!)

At the Twitchell's home we played mafia and I tried to explain that this was a game that body contact was discouraged to allow the mafia and dectives the most privacy possible as possible but non the less she still leaned on me and put her head on my shoulder... (By the way I was mafia and we took out everyone systematically and easily. I had everyone on my side. It was amazing. You would have been proud, especially since I had someone almost clinging on to me...)

On the way back to her house she again cuddled up next to me and I tried to be a cold lump of nothing but it didn't matter... I was dreading the doorstep scene. If she tried anything I would have stopped her. There is no WAY I'm letting her do anything more than she already had. Anyway she didn't try anything but seriously... That has got to be the most awkward night of my life...
