Sometimes I wonder if my chemistry exams make the scantron machine physically ache. I know they make me ill.

Note to self:

First, the wedding is not for several more months. Breathe. Focus on school.

Second, it's Crystal's wedding, not yours. Quit micromanaging everything! Do what Crystal asks of you and nothing else.

Quirky

• I like taking pictures of people while they're sleeping. Even me. I've been known to set up the camera, set the self-timer for as long as possible and go to sleep.
• I think water from the bathroom tap tastes better than water from the kitchen tap. Maybe it has more minerals?
• I feel like a pirate whenever I wear my tall boots and want to go around saying "Arrr" all the time.
• I name inanimate objects, usually electronics. My car is Timothy (btw, he's on the way to being fixed! I'll have him in April!). My laptop is Sheba. I kind of feel like my camera is being shafted because I haven't named it yet, and I've had it since July and it's basically become an appendage, I always have it! Any suggestions?
  

basically freaking out kind of a lot

My little sister Crystal is engaged. Her fiance's name in Lorin Bench. He's from a small town just over the Oregon border from Boise. They are getting married August 8, 2008 at 1pm at the San Diego LDS temple. There will be a reception in Ridgecrest August 9th, probably at the north Norma LDS building (the white one across from the Grace Luthren church). Bridesmaids will be me, our sisters Anne and Laurel, and our cousin Christy. Colors are blues and greens and she plans on carrying gerbera daisies. I will be taking their engagement photos.

We're doing round one of wedding dress shopping on Saturday. Who cares what she's going to wear, I wanna know what I'm going to wear!

In an effort to improve my photography skills by simply taking pictures, I am taking a basic photography class and have signed up for Flickr. Not only have I signed up for Flickr, but I'm doing 366 Days 2008, a group effort to take a self portrait a day for the whole year. I started on my birthday, so I'll be ending a little after most people.

This video is so funny! It's not high class humour. In fact, it's along the same lines as Larry the Cable Guy and "You Know You're a Redneck" jokes.

A warning before you watch: There is some swearing. Quite a bit, actually. And it stereotypes many different people, so if you're easily offended, don't bother.



A note: I know this is insensitive, crass, obnoxious, and all other things that I usually try to avoid. You don't need to remind me.
