Ellie Badge

Today I have the great honor of announcing that my blog is officially the coolest thing ever. Why you may ask? The answer, my friends, is that today I went to the Up house. Yes, the exact replica of the house shown in the lovely movie Up that my blog is named after (Adventure is Out There if you didn't get the reference). Brilliant, eh? I was rather stoked about it to be honest and will now post some pictures.

It's Andy's room! I know it says Jack, but they're silly and it's supposed to say Andy. This is my FAVORITE!!!

This is the princess room. Someday...

I LOVE this kitchen! When I grow up, all of my appliances will be light blue and look exactly like these!

All it needs is the little chair-thingy. Perfect!

I thought this was beautiful. This part in the movie always almost makes me cry. Almost.

I love how they're all pre-done. :)

Their bedroom. I love the lamps and how they portray the characters' personalities. They're probably my favorite parts of the room.

It's Paradise Falls! Look at little Ellie, what a cutie.

I figured out how to rotate me at the Up house, so ignore the other one.

It's the adventure book--hooray!

How cute are their silhouettes? Plus also notice the money jar!

Their chairs! Now picture Ellie and Carl reading and holding hands in them. :)

The mailbox, perhaps one of my favorites.

Plus also, I AM HOME!!! My my my what a lovely feeling it is to be at home! I was so excited to finally get to see my parents and siblings again that I was practically jumping up and down! I'm pretty sure my roommate, Jaycie, thought I was insane, but that's okay!

Well folks, this is my life thus far. Hope you've enjoyed!

TTFN-ta ta for now!

Paperclip of Time

Well the past few days have been rather interesting. I have had one of THE most amazing experiences at an Institute fireside. I haven't felt the Spirit that strongly in such a long time! That's good, it makes me even more stoked for Institute and there is no shame in that. Plus also church was way good. Bishop taught Relief Society and he taught about how we're just kind of living in this tiny little paperclip of time on this never ending string eternity. That was slightly redundant, but I thought it was a very (Lance?) interesting concept.

Kyra aka Mrs. Captain Awesome Pants and I made a new friend the other day. We moseyed on down to the cemetery across the street and met a little two year old girl named Norma. She was two. We gave her some flowers.

So I think I'm falling in love. Logan is a super pretty place. I'm not so sure if I'm falling in love with school or not yet, but I definitely love the town, or at least the part where I live. Plus also I just had a bonding moment. It was intense. Yup, I think I'm in love with this place. Not school. Just the town. Good story.

Plus also I'm getting homesick. Don't go spreading this around to my parents, I don't want them to be worried about me or anything. I just miss them. I can't wait to see them in two days. Yes, I get to see my family in two days. I am stoked. I have a countdown. Don't tell them. Their heads will get big. I just love them.

Here are some more pictures of my life:

This is my Buzz Lightyear keychain. More proof of my love for him.

Kyra and I have matching flip-flops that we decided to cherish at that moment before the cemetery. Lovely. :)

Olives are Balls of Sweat

Today I learned a very interesting fact from a new found friend: olives are just balls of sweat. Kind of ruins my favorite fruit/vegetable (what the crap is it?!) but I do believe I'll keep on eating them because they're wonderful. I even managed to convince my new found friend that they really aren't as bad and sweaty as he thought. Win! He did beat me at a staring contest though, so maybe we're tied now. Dang. Nope, we'll say I one-upped him.

So today was rather eventful in other ways. I managed to walk around campus and find all of my classes AND found out which buses I needed to take in the deathly cold of winter! We ended up going in a loop on the wrong bus, but it was still an adventure and I did really enjoy it. I also found out that Abraham Lincoln was the first president of USU. No, he really wasn't, but we took pictures by him anyways. Plus also I tried to break in my new white sneakers that will very shortly be multicolored thanks to some lovely Sharpies, but ended up getting some pretty sweet blisters and, as a result, walked around campus in my socks. I liked that a lot more than shoes. Maybe instead of a skater I was born to be a hippie. Minus all the drugs and free love and crap, of course. I guess I don't know who I want to be. In the words of the great band Switchfoot"This is your life, are you who want to be?" Plus also my friend just told be to be whoever I wanted to be. Well this is quite a complex! Maybe I should figure out who I am...Meh, not right now. Here's some pics from our adventures today!

This is us by Abe Lincoln. We're cute. Me, Jacob, Jaycie, and Danny.

Old Main in the lovely trees. I thought it was kinda perty lookin'.

Books, Boys, and FrisBee

Good news: I am finally sore from all this lovely walking, climbing up and down the stairs, and ultimate frisbee-ing. It is quite glorious and I love it. Only, my sides are kind of sore and I have no clue why. I haven't been doing sit ups or anything...huh. Well that's just fine with me!

Thought of the day: how sweet would it be if my blog became a book?! You know, like Julie and Julia? I think that would be way cool. So maybe from now on I'll pretend like this will become a book. Or not. Nope, it's a blog. But still, how cool would that be? I wonder what the climax would be...maybe I would save somebody's life in some fire or something. Or maybe I would save an old lady from some creepy mugger guy. Um, maybe those are lame.

So, I'm trying to figure out what picture I could add today. I know people really come on this thing to look at the pictures, not to actually read this stuff. Maybe I'll just add some cool picture.

That is a picture of my hand. Yes, I could be a hand model like the infamous George Castanza. That dot would be a stress dot. The darker it gets, the more stressed the wearer is. Obviously I wasn't too stressed because the outside of it is kinda green-ish. I'm glad I had that dot, though. I was really confused if I was stressed or not and that little dot kept me informed on my feelings.

You know, feelings are really weird things. They effect my whole mood. Let me give you a few equations:

Homework+Boys=Stress

Life+Boys=Stress

Boys=Stress

Yeah, they're the only equations that I can think of. They all revolve around boys...that sounds about right. Maybe I'll come up with some more that don't revolve around boys or stress. Not now, though. I'm too busy talking boys with my roommates.

TTFN all!

My Favorite Things

My favorite food in probably the whole wide world is cereal. I love it a lot and I eat it at least once a day. Plus also I love Sesame Street. It was my very favorite TV show when I was little. If you've taken the time to look at my list of favorite movies you will notice Lion King is on there. I have always thought that particular Disney classic was quite brilliant, even since I was a wee little toddler. I'm not sure what I liked about it back then, maybe it was Zazoo the toucan, or maybe I liked the music, or maybe it was the fact that Simba was played by Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Matthew Brodrick who I find highly attractive. Both of them. Mostly Jonathan Taylor Thomas. I can remember thinking he was cute back in the good ol' Home Improvement and Tom and Huck days. Yeah, he's a good one!

Anyways, moving on, a few months ago I had to find a baby/toddler picture of myself for graduation. As I was looking through my scrapbooks I came across a picture of me. In it, I wore a Simba shirt, was eating cereal, and had a toy Zoey close at hand. It was so cool! I was so stoked when I saw it that I obviously picked it for my grad picture. So here it be. This is me. I was even cool when I was little.
