My Random Thoughts Of The Day

Breaking up sucks. Yes really sucks. I was with my boyfriend for about 4 ½ years, I seriously thought we were going to get married and then one day he just dumped me. It was a sweet and heartfelt dump but still, it was a dump. For the next couple days I searched my brains to figure out what I did wrong. I should have seen it coming, we had stopped hanging out as much as we used to… but a lot of those times were because I wanted to go to yoga. (Namaste!) Anyways I finally decided that it was his loss. (Yes I am that egotistical.) So, after much deliberation I decided that I need to pick myself up and get back on that horse. (I’m not a gymnast Mauri…) It’s really scary though, the whole meeting new people thing. My mom told me to go and sit in the Wilkinson Center at BYU and many a young man would stop by my table and gaze longingly into my eyes. I can imagine it now… ahem “Hi I’m Megan and I am a UVSC student sitting in the Cougar Eatery waiting to meet my Eternal Companion.” Yeah don’t know if that will go over so well. So then my mom suggested UVSC Institute dances… uh yeah, those feel a lot like stake dances only on a more pathetic level. Lets just say any dance where people actually do the conga line is an EXNAY on my list of ‘to do’s.’


So then, here’s the worst one yet, my mom told me to go ‘ward shopping’ on Sunday. Ward Shopping?!?!? Did you hear me?? Apparently this is where I go around and ‘visit’ a lot of different wards on Sunday and then decide where I want to have my records transferred to. Do people actually do this? If you or anyone you know has ever actually done this please please please let me know!!!


Okay so then my mom decided to point out many other things that I need to do to start attracting members of the opposite sex. Apparently showering more then twice a week is a must. Dang it. And make up every day?? Really what are they asking the girls to do these days!!! And then there’s this whole thing called brushing your teeth… haha just kidding!! I do that at least 4 times a week. Hhehe. Deodorant, perfume, jewelry, teeth whitening, hair curling, high heels, fake nails, pedicures… I think I’m going to go insane!!!


Oh and on this enlightening note, I am sitting here eating a chicken bowl from Hogi Yogi which WAS NOT bought from the Alpine Hogi Yogi. Bad bad idea. The chicken happens to still have A LOT of fat on it. And I know for a fact that at the Alpine Hogi Yogi they cut the fat off. So we can all thank the hard workers at the Alpine Hogi Yogi for their diligent effort in keeping the population of Alpine skinny…. (that and their countless hours getting tummy tucks and liposuction.)


I would like to apologize to all of those pseudo skinny people in Alpine who were offended by this post. I would also like to apologize to Jason Paul Mower – if he reads this post – about the flippant manner in which I wrote about our break up :-) You know how I feel… :-)

Hello!

Hello all! I was babysitting some kids last night who are 'very into' blogging so the oldest kid got me set up with a blog page. I thought that this might be a good idea to keep everyone in touch with what is going on in my life... you know, seeing as how there's so much going on. Haha :)

My name is Megan and I am the oldest of 6 kids. I am living at home right now but looking to move out again soonishly. My family are the most amazing people in the entire world! They mean everything to me. My brother who I am really close to is leaving on an LDS mission on October 10th. He is going to Toronto Canada. I'm going to miss him a lot but I am so amazingly proud of him. My sister right younger then him is a cheerleader and also a little snot. Hehe. She is also one of my best friends so I can say that. Then my three youngest brother and sisters are amazing! They remind me of me when I was younger, kinda crazy and totally annoying but still loveable.

I am a part time student and I also work part time. I also just got a job babysitting for a family on the weekends. I am planning on going to Ecuador next summer to work in an orphanage. I think it will be an amazing experience and really show me how awesome our life is here.


I am a pretty average early 20's girl. I love to read and write. I am an English Major so I guess that fits. I'm not sure what I want to do with my degree yet though... So I'm open for suggestions! I have a wide variety of favorite books. Right now I am really loving the Twilight Series. I would seriously give my right arm to marry Edward. Too bad he's fictional. I love all the Harry Potter books and I really thought JK Rowling ended them amazingly. I loved Angels and Deamons and also the LOTR series. But really, I think my all time favorite book is Enders Game by Orson Scott Card.


I love a wide variety of movies but I would have to say Moulin Rouge is my favorite. I love the soundtrack and Ewan McGregor has a voice that is to die for. I also like Mean Girls just because it is sooo 'real'. I love any movie with Johnny Depp in it... namely the Pirates movies and From Hell. I also like movies that make me think.


The only TV show that I have ever been hopelessly addicted to was The OC. Which is really quite sad because after the first season it wasn't all too good. But I did really like when they pushed Johnny off a cliff though. But killing Marissa was just stupid. I am in love with The Office! It is the most hilarious show ever. I really like Law and Order SVU :) Almost makes me want to be a detective.

Well I think thats all for today! I'm hoping to update this thing at least every few days. :) I may go more into detail on some of the things I like, like maybe do reviews on them or something. Hehe :) We'll have to see how much time I have.

Anyways I think all of you should get blogs. I think they would be fun if we all had them right?!

Loves!
