Abby's never on facebook when I am, so I don't really get to talk to her much:'(.  I miss them like crazy.

So, yeah.  I'm going to Universal Studios/Island of Adventures tomorrow.  I'm really excited (even if it is my sixth time going over the past twelve months).  I love the Harry Potter part, but I really wish Abby and Hernando were back here to share it with my mom and I again.

Next weekend is the Highland Games.  This will be our third year going.  I'm so freaking excited.

Sorry for the lack of depth and the high level of neglect I inflict upon this blog.  I miss just writing my words down (even if they're not that great).

How have you been, reader?

Today's Dilemma

The title of this post evokes thoughts of a possible revolution in Egypt or maybe even how many curse words are said by high school students during only the first hour of school.  I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this is about you, my dear blog.

I have abandoned you for about a month or so now. Though you are inanimate, and a creation all my own, I love you, blog. We are the opposite of Dr. Frankenstein and his monster (at least, I hope).

I miss you.  You are a place where my thoughts can consume and evolve through my own sort of therapy.  You are a place where I can lay my whole heart down into words that maybe only two people will see.  My best friend doesn't even know about you, blog.  You are my own secret and my own safe-haven.  You are -- in a sense -- my home.

This is not so for my vlog.  In my vlog, I must omit and suppress emotions and feelings of my days.  In my vlog, I try not to offend or betray.  Is it really a video diary if no opinions or feelings are expressed as they would be in an actual diary?

The dilemma I face is that of sharing you with the Youtube community.  I don't even have ten subscribers (I have nine), but the level of exposure that would result from my sharing you scares me.  The level of vulnerability I feel safe to have here is on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to my Youtube channel.

What do I do, blog/reader?

"This must be it; welcome to the new year"

Hello ladies and gents.

I am back from Seattle, and back to life.  I miss the Northwest terribly.  I tried staying up all night the Saturday after we got back, and ended up crashing at 6am, and missing church.  Way to start the new year, right?

Well, I have been doing something slightly productive since the new year.  I've started my daily videoing.  You can check them out here.  I'm not sure if I'll continue updating this blog, or if I want to do it on a regular basis.  I'm thinking about just keeping it to continue to document the books I've read and the movies I've seen.  I'm not sure yet.  I'll probably just end up using it to say what I don't want to say on camera.

Happy New Year, reader.

P.S.

OH, and Natalie is now engaged to a return missionary.  It's really amazing.  I'm so happy for and proud of her. She's making the commitment to be sealed in the temple in a year.

Feelin' Like a Criminal

Oh, hey there!

So, I'm going to Seattle tomorrow, and I'm flippin' excited.  I've been literally counting down (t minus seventeen hours).

Since my last post...

I have seen Morning Glory and Sleepless in Seattle (for obvious reasons).

I have been diagnosed with Meniere's Disease.  The medicine I have to take at first made me really dizzy and nauseous, so I got some nausea medicine, which made me feel even worse, but I'm almost 100% good now.  I'm definitely not feeling the exact same as before, though.  Life goes on.  I also have to pee a lot.

I'm seriously considering doing that thing I talked about earlier.  A video everyday.  I'm almost positive.

I've been missing Abby a lot.  We went caroling at Mutual the other night and it made me think of last year.  I was also wearing the scarf I chose out of the ones her sister made us last year.  I've texted her and wrote her on facebook with no reply, so I texted Hernando (her husband) with something along the lines of, "Does Abby not like us anymore?  Lol."  Then, HE didn't respond.  So, that was swell.  I've had dreams about her these passed couple of nights, which was weird and got me worried because she's been sick, but she finally texted me back tonight.  So, all is well:).

We had Christmas this morning.  Complete with the traditional breakfast (Gorilla Bread).  My great aunt doesn't celebrate Christmas, so we had to have it early.  It's a bit of a bummer, but I'm definitely excited about what I got.  I got a couple of Nerdfighter CDs as well as Forever 21 jewelry and Empire by Orson Scott Card.

I think that's about it.  See you guys in Seattle!

Ah, How I Miss The Perezes...

DUMBLEDORE!

So, Dumbledore and I have something in common...

I finally got the courage to try my Burtie Bott's Every Flavor Beans that I got at the park over-the-spur-of-the-moment-weekend.  It went great.  They weren't too bad...until the earwax.

I honestly thought I had already tried some other earwaxes in the endeavor, but apparently not.  I really tried to choke back the vomit rising in the back of my throat (that's a bit of an exaggeration, but gagging was ensuing).    I finally couldn't take it, so I spit out whatever was left of it in my mouth.

The rest of the night I could taste it.  I COULD SMELL IT.  Even after having Panda Express (my newest favorite restaurant for the past few months), I can still vaguely taste it/feel it in the pit of my tortured stomach.  On the way to Panda, my dog -- who was along for the ride -- resembled the smell, and I about died.  I had to spray air-freshener and open a window.  I honestly almost vomited then (not an exaggeration).

So, alas...earwax.
