The Adventures of Skype

Last night after Kenzie and I had finished our homework we decided to Skype with Rachel.  We thought that it would be simple and easy, but that was not the case....  We signed in and Rachel called us, but soon the video was fuzzy and lagging behind the sound and freezing.  Since this was happening we decided to make funny faces at each other.  The best was when it would freeze on our face and go all blurry.  We found that we look great as ghosts and blobs!  Haha!  While we were skyping I was texting my friend and my brother Steven.  When Steven texted me he sent me a picture of our friend Nick sitting on my couch back home, in a lounging position.  When I showed Rachel the picture she asked me "Why is Nick sitting seductively at your house?!?!"    When I asked Steven that he sent over a picture of our friend Sterling also sitting "seductively" on the couch.  When I showed Kenzie she busted up laughing and shouted "I love Lavern!"  Which is our nickname for Sterling.  After we finished laughing about that my roommate came in and gave us pizza which we commenced eating, and tried to feed it to Rachel through the video, but that didn't really work...  Haha!  Once our pizza was gone, the picture was still very fuzzy, so we made use of the instant messaging tool on Skype.  We probably shouldn't have found this because we just sat there for the rest of the time discovering all the cool emoticons we can use.  :)  Mine and Kenzie's favorite one was the squirrel, although this made rachel mad because she doesn't have a squirrel on on hers.  Haha!  To get back at us for this she sent a puking emoticon to us.  Yes we're that mature.  :P  After that we ended the call, but the night will be remembered for the seductive pictures, and laughs we got out of it.

The Night We Went Crazy

Pizza and Soda. It seems like a harmless combination, right? Not. It is actually a fairly deadly combo that we have experienced first hand.

The night started out with Annie and Rachel deciding that we wanted pizza. Not just any pizza, but good pizza. So after driving around, we finally found the nearest Pizza hut and ordered the $20 pizza box and then went to town. Drinks were a necessity as well and so Annie and Kenz went and bought Fresca. Yes. Carbonated soda that neither Annie or Rachel had had in an extremely long time. There came our mistake. We drank the ENTIRE 2 liter bottle of Fresca in less than a half hour. And had a burping contest... something that neither of us is exactly proud of. We also made the mistake of judging a few guys that were walking past us, in not so quiet voices might I add (we apologize if you actually heard us, you are attractive :) We were just extremely on one).

That's where the quotes of "Is this how it feels to be drunk?" and such occurred. The night we will all remember with fondness and hope that neither guys nor our future children judge us on. We hope you just laugh at us, cause we do have normal sides... they might hide more than we'd like, but they are there. Trust us on this.

Whoops! I totally forgot to delete my signature!

Don't you hate it when you are texting a boy anonymously, getting mad at him, and you forget to take off your name at the end of your text so they find out your name?  Haha!  Well, that's what happened tonight.  We were sending some pointed advice to this boy and on what was supposed to be the last text, I forgot to delete my signature at the end of the text.  We were telling the boy that he should be more considerate of girls feelings and that girls want to know that their personality is more important then their body. When I tried to end the conversation, I left my Signature ~Annie~ on the text message and then he could tie me to Kenzie, so we had to do some damage control.  I had to unfriend Kenz and delete/hide all of the posts and pictures that could connect us.  It was really crazy.  I even had to pretend like I was trying to text a different boy and then, the kicker, he starts hitting on me!  Not only does he not care about girls feelings, he also tries to pick up a stranger!  Oh my goodness.  He asked me how old I was, if I was single, and if I was LDS.  Then he said that I have "Hart and conviction" and that he is trying to decide if he would like to meet me...  He then asked me what city I live in.  Then he said "... Can't cover that much im gas sorry im in sandy"  Oh, boy!  It was hilarious!  Haha!  Silly boys.  I think it was great that he was an RM.  Well, now we know to steer clear of him!

You should be scared...

It is Halloween time. Correct? Well for us, the scariest thing of the month is not watching scary movies, which are pretty scary, but... watching each other. You have never seen crazy until you have seen us. The random moments when we start scaring the people around us because we are singing, or because we are laughing uncontrollable. (Beware, the looks make us laugh harder.) So don't be scared if you see us look at each other and start laughing. All our friends have experienced this. But you just get used to it. And don't try to understand. You'll get even more confuse

Something Every Boy Should Know

I discovered this list while reading Jack Weyland's "Brianna, My Brother, and the Blog." I read it and thought, I think every boy should read this! Guys are always wondering, "What is it girls want from us??" Well, this list certainly doesn't cover everything, but it sure is a good start. I can guarantee you that any of the things on this list would make the 3 of us love the guys that did it even more.

How to Be a True and Faithful Friend (to a Woman)

1. Never speak badly of her to anyone. If someone is critical of her, stand up for her.

2. When she needs someone to talk to, take time to listen. Do your best to show empathy.

3. Be true to the friendship you share even when you're mad at her, or when you feel that you've been shortchanged in some way or other, or even when you want to get even. When you're both tired, take care of her needs first instead of your own.

4. Act in such a way that she always feels safe in your presence.

5. When she's been hurt by something you've done, instead of defending your good intentions, start your apology by saying, "I'm sorry I..."

6. When she wants to talk, turn off the TV, log out of your laptop, quit playing video games, move what you were reading far away, don't look at your watch. Give her your complete attention. Look at her when she's speaking. Nod or go "okay" so she'll know you're listening.

7. Understand that she's not perfect but neither are you. Do your best to understand her point of view. Also, cherish her the way she is now.

8. Know when her birthday is and plan ahead of time what you're going to give her. Also know the names of her brothers and sisters. Know what her favorite color is, her favorite dessert, her favorite movie. Learn as much as you can about her by asking questions.

9. Send her flowers or a card once in a while- not for a special occaison but just to let her know that you're thinking of her.

10. If she loves concerts, go with her. If she likes to go to church, go with her. If she loves to go wind surfing, go with her. Let her teach you what she loves to do and, in turn, you teach her what you love.

I love these. This is definetly a good way to win your way into her heart. Again, all credits go to Jack Weyland for this list. I didn't make it up. I just thought it was something everyone should read :)

So once upon a time, on Saturday night, the three of us are all chillin', when Jevin texts them and says he wants to join in on the fun too. So of course we invite him along, because we really missed Starks (Jevin) and wanted to catch up with him. So he comes over. And almost gets himself killed jumping over the stairs. But anyways. We were debating what fun adventures we should embark upon, when Rachel and Annie just so remember that Jevin owed them dates from, like, months ago. And it has always been a life goal of Annie's to go to In-N-Out, so we decided that we would go there for dinner. Well, we finally get there after some, um, interesting driving, and Jevin tells us he's going to pay for all of us. So we were all like "Awwww," but felt bad because he didn't have to pay for all of us! So it turned into a poly-date (polygamous date), because he owed Annie and Rachel dates, and nobody wanted Kenzie to feel left out and dejected. Plus, they had to repay me somehow for all the driving around I did for them that weekend. So anyways, we get our delicious food, and we're all just sitting eating, putting stickers on our cups and Jevin puzzling over a certain someone's love life, when all of the sudden one of the workers annouces that number 42's order is ready. And oh my goodness, he had the most perfect radio announcer voice I had ever heard. Like, really. If you ever go to In-N-Out, listen for him, and you will also be like, "Oh my heck, this kid should be on the radio." So I tell Rachel, Annie, and Starks, and they listen next time he announces an order, and they totally agree with me. And I decide that somebody just needs to tell this guy what a perfect radio voice he has. Soo.... I fetch a napkin. And I write a nice little note. Telling him how completely impressed I am by his radio voice. Rachel is making fun of me, and tells me that I should just put my number on there as well, but I don't, because I'm not that creepy. Anyways, I finish the note, and make Jevin bring it up to him, and he reads it and just smiles from ear to ear. I totally made his day. Maybe I'll start giving everyone kind notes on napkins. On second thought... maybe not. That would kill too many trees. And that is our random story from this weekend.
