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.  

CURRENTLY LISTENTING TO:

The Calico Cat

I understand where girls are coming from when they want to add a little color to their hair.  But why do they color their hair so intensely?  If you're a blonde, be a blonde.  If you're a brunette, please be a brunette, don't bleach it.  Back and forth and back and forth....does your ID still work? I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't.  In my eyes a girl who constantly is at the salon is a little psycho.  Nothing necessarily explains why I think that, but I just do.  She probably listens to Evanescence or The Veronicas.

A little mix of this and a splash of that will turn you into a Calico cat.  Be careful, you don't want to look like the hair model of your best friend who is attending Paul Mitchell.  No offense, you might be doing her a favor.  If the stripes and spots don't give you that feline look you're seeking then go ahead and apply the "cat-eye" eyeliner effect like below. Works like a charm. 

Rarrrrrr.

CURRENTLY LISTENING TO:

I'd Date You

I'm actually not offended at all that one of my friends told me this completely reminds her of me.  Because the other day I found this picture and thought the exact same thing.  My mom asked me to stop saying the s word on my twitter but I know she only looks at my blog occasionally.  Sorry Mom.

Instead of a romantic proposal someday I would be 100% fine with him saying this.  As long as he meets the other requirements--speaking of which, needs an update. 

COMING SOON.

CURRENTLY LISTENING TO:

Confessions

The other day I posted a few things that I have never done, but that got me thinking of things that I HAVE done.  Things that are embarrassing, but sharable for a possible good laugh.  Such as:

• A few weeks ago I ate bacon for a midnight snack.
• The other day I stepped foot in Bohme Boutique with intent to buy something.
• For years I was absolutely in love with Dashboard Confessional.
• I wore Asics to school last semester.
• I let my roommate dye my hair brown from a Loreal box purchased at Smith's.
• I highlighted my own hair with a bleach pull-through cap also purchased at Smith's.
• I listen to soundtracks while I drive my scooter during the summer and pretend I'm in the movies.
• I actually do listen to country music sometimes.
• During a layover in Seattle a few years ago I repeatedly listened to "Hello Seattle" by Owl City because I thought it was cool.
• I've gone to a few movies by myself--and I like it.
• I play the piano and sing really loud when I'm home by myself but as soon as I hear the door open I WILL stop.
• I worked at Lagoon and only lasted two weeks.
• I have owned a scrunchie with curled fake hair on it (elementary times).
• I had two cats once, Eric and Karen.  My dog's name was Jack. Will I name my future children animal names to compensate for this?  I don't know.
