I like when friends share videos. And when people do things to make themselves look stupid.

The Happiest Place on Earth

I have been to Disneyland three times in my life and up until yesterday I thought that was two too many.  It's full of lines, kids on leashes, horse crap, honeymooners and overpriced ice-cream.  I'm in California for ~**SpRiNg BrEaK 2012**~ right now and my friends forced me to go to Disneyland.

I dare you to challenge me in "your team/my team".

(Am I a bad person?)

$130 later I'm convinced Disneyland is a pretty happy place, probably not the happiest on earth though--because my feet hurt and I never got to eat a corn dog. My future husband can rest assured that I will not be requesting Disneyland for our honeymoon.  I got a kick out of the "just married" ears.  Disneyland once every 5 years or so is enough for me!


CURRENTLY LISTENING TO:

The Look

Everyone has their own sense of humor, their own outlook on life I suppose.  I always find myself really clicking with those type of people who seem to be a little funnier than your average joe.  I prefer the humor that takes some deep thought to understand sometimes.  Simplicity is childish, not that funny.  There are honestly some people my age that still laugh at Disney channel shows or cry while they read Nicholas Sparks.  I'm getting off on a tangent.  I don't care about Disney channel OR Nicholas Sparks books, what I'm meaning to talk about is that certain sense of....not humor....sense of judgement.  The only way I can describe this is with...

The look.

You've all had those few people that "just get it".  My friend describes it by saying, "we're just better."  I won't go as far as saying we're necessarily better than others.  Because I'm not.  But I definitely do understand the look.  I hope you know what I'm talking about now.  I'm really trying here!  You overhear someone say something ridiculous and your friend makes eye contact with you.  You see someone out in public that might be a little kookoo, the person you're with gives you the look because he/she "just gets it".  Understand?

The look is a little creepy sometimes.  I mean if you don't understand what a recent acquaintance is starring at you with a smirk for you obviously didn't catch the joke floating around.  The great thing is that once you know that somebody "just gets it" because they acknowledge the look, that you'll be great friends.

Original photos of past scenarios when the look would have been necessary:

I'd give anyone a shot who has a collection of pictures like these few of mine.

CURRENTLY LISTENING TO:

Mr. Right (Draft II)

My friends know me well enough to know that I am a picky dater.  Ridiculously picky.  But I'm fine with it, I'd rather be single for months at a time instead of go on dates that won't go anywhere but just to date. Really I don't like dating much, but that's what the topic of every bit of life advice I've gotten from people lately has been.  From meeting with my bishop last week to lessons, conversations with friends all the way to an encounter this past weekend I was at the temple in St. George where 67-year-old Jim.  He gave my friends and I some advice since we're all "21 and single".

He says there are only three traits that your husband needs:

1. No bad habits
2. Ambition
3. Intelligence

Well, the length of this list that I made a year and a half ago definitely exceeds the three necessary traits.  Can I fix it?  Maybe.  I guess I don't have to be so particular.  I am though, because I'm sure there is someone out there who sings hymns at church, has my taste in music, a dirty mind but is super spiritual and knowledgeable about the gospel.  Oh and wears corduroy pants with good shoes.  All in all my list is pretty up to date though.  He exists.  Those 3 up there are good though, and necessary but everything can be figured out and really after living with Rachel I could live with anyone. (Just kidding Rach love you).  I have to add a number four and five. Four--has a testimony and five--hilarious, like belly ache laugh hilarious.

I found a paper in my scriptures though that says 

My Future Husband:

After I filled out the characteristics I wanted when I was 14 I crossed it out and wrote

My Future Husband Self:

It's true though, just like you are what you eat.  Kind of, in a way--you are what you marry.  And it will only work if you both are 100% invested and willing.  So I hope that when I get married and am Jim's age that my husband still doesn't have any bad habits, because that's a long time to live with someone annoying me.  It's fine though, I'll be in love.
