...She's actually the sober one" A real comment from the lady at the liquor store this past weekend. And my friends making sure to clarify. It's impressive, really. I had a great week, guys. I went up to Seattle to see some friends I made in Korea. Good people. They really are. And its just nice to spend some time with those people who helped shape such a big part of my Korean experience and therefore my life. We could talk about it and not feel bad for being boring to those around us, we could reminisce, we could make whole new memories. And all those things we did! First up: San Juan Islands We didn't really plan anything, but we eventually made it up to the San Juans! They are beautiful. Go there. Seriously. You won't regret it. We played with Chris at his cabin/island. And caught a crab. And cooked it. And ate it. We wanted to hunt a deer, but we were less successful at that. And we partied. And my friend might have fallen/jumped out of a second...

I, Cindy, hold these truths to be self evident. I haven't watched Law and Order for like ten days straight. I know, tis very surprising for all of us. But I have been keeping up with the new season of Project Runway . You wanna know who my favorite is? This guy. Josh M. Because he is hysterical. And look at him. His eyebrows are amazing. Ok so maybe I love his eyebrows more than him...but I do love him too. I don't know if he'll go very far, but he'll always have a place in my heart/fashion/eyebrow envy. Also, did you know I'm psychic? Because I am. Donald just reminded me about how one year and a half ago he went to a school dance and that he blogged about it. And in that blog he stated he would never go to a school dance again. But then on that blog, I commented this: If you can't read it, it says "yeah-last school dance until you decide to go to prom and get voted royalty or something. i guess we'll see" AND THA...

You guys, I'm sorry I've been complaining so much. You want to know what I won't complain about? This guy: You're welcome, Logan. Doesn't he look so good in that mustache? HOT. And so mature. It was my first derby and I must say, it was most excellent. The cars-they just drive into each other! And crash! And then keep driving! (i'm using as many exclamation points as i can for logan...its his birthday present. ya welcome). Matt and Ruben came too. I can respect that. Don't worry, I made sure to eat a slushee, a soft pretzel, some dr. pepper, and two paper plates worth of french fries. Expensive and delicious! I hope Logan has another birthday soon, so we do this again.

When I first moved to Provo, a few years ago, I struggled with loving it. I went through a big phase of hating it. But then, I loved it. I never thought I could love it, but I did. I grew to love the lines that form at the grocery store at 11:45 pm on Saturday nights because people didn't want to shop on Sunday. I decided I could love eavesdropping on people's conversations and hearing about their missionary or ward drama. I love the mountains (although i still claim colorado's to be mo' betta). Lots of things to love here people. But there are some things that I don't love. And now I will rant about them. BYU/Provo housing. The transition between summer term and fall semester leaves hundreds of students homeless. It is just stupid. But worse than that is my landlord. She is ridiculous. This morning, a Saturday, I go in to take a shower around 9:30ish. Keep in mind, I currently am without roommates. So I'm in the shower and then I hear a kn...

Today at work I was standing outside when a spider found its way on my shoulder. A daddy long-leg to be precise. Then it quickly made its way down my shirt. I had to grab the spider out from my shirt. It was icky. But that didn't scare me from nature! So tonight I hiked the Y. Yeah, I don't know why either. But it happened.

These would be recent additions: -You know those days when you decide to clean your whole house, and then when you're done you look in the mirror and see how sweaty and gross you've become? That's what I look like every day -I'm really glad those riots started all over England...the exact day I committed to living there. Great! Fantastic! -Today I sliced open the same thumb twice. It was sad. Lots of band-aids. -My landlady keeps bringing people to see my apartment and I'm really worried they're going to walk in on me when I'm not wearing pants. Because I do it a lot. And she doesn't knock. -When I'm not paint-by-numbering, I'm thinking about it. -Just because I can paint by number, doesn't mean I can paint. I learned this the hard way tonight.

Recently I've been thinking about all the different jobs I've been able to have up to this point in my life. Maybe its because I really hate my current job and would rather go do any of these jobs again instead. But whatever the reason, you deserve to know. I actually worked these jobs. These are my stories. dun dun! A lot of my random jobs came during the summer months home from college. I went home every summer during college, but strangely ended up living in Provo the two summers following graduation. It was weird. Anyways, for summer jobs you just really had to network. Luckily people had my back and I got to work some solid jobs. One summer I got a position working at an insurance company at their front desk. It was an interesting situation in that the agent in the office got in a horseback riding accident and became paralyzed, leaving her in a rehab center for a couple months after her surgery. Her son, who normally didn't work in the office but I'...

Today had the potential to be an amazing. I was taking a half day at work to get some things done in Salt Lake. I was going to finish up my chores there and then do something awesome- go to a movie at the Broadway, or hang out at REI, or just do something fun. You know, to celebrate Friday. So I get home from work. And I double check my appointment. I needed to have my fingerprints taken for my visa for England. (oh, remember how i'm moving to England for grad school soon?) And then I realize I need to print off a page of confirmation in order to go to my appointment. I'm worried about running late, but I head over to BYU to use a printer real quick and get on my way. I show up a few minutes late, but I get it done. In and out in less than five minutes. And since I'm in the neighborhood, I stop by and say hi to one of my friends who worked close by. We chat for a few minutes. Then I decide I'm going to forgo doing something awesome and instead go home and take...
