steamy car, snuggling, and no scoreboard!?

let's start out on Friday night.
i went on a blind date that Anna set me up on. I am VERY hesitant to go on blind dates now because i've had 3. All three were super awkward and not pleasant at all. But, Anna was kind of persistent and finally decided i'd be fine with it.
and guess what? It was a most excellent blind date. By faaaaaaar the best blind date i've been on {not that that is a hard task.... but i'm not saying it wasn't good either, cause i had fun}. Best part of the night- we were waiting for a table at Texas Roadhouse and waiting and waiting. Just talking away and guess what? we missed our names. So then they had to put us back down on the list. it was really funny. Definitely a good story.
moral of the story- blind dates can be so good that you talk so much you can't even hear your own name.

yesterday kind of was fantastic.

first off- i think i am going to go to Europe this summer! The study abroad to Germany with the photo department. :D Guess what this means? I need to get a passport PRONTO! which is kind of cool! i've never had a passport. I've never been out of the country except to Canada {and that was before you needed a passport to get in} so this is going to be fantastico! I'll keep you updated for sure.

Last night, i went to my very first FULL basketball game of the season! I LOVE AGGIE BASKETBALL! It is the straw to my berry, and the peanut to my butter, and the bert to my ernie, etc. I live for 3 cheers we do. the first goes as follows {at the very beginning of the game}

guys on front row- I.
crowd- I
GOFR- i believe
c- I BELIEVE
GOFR- I believe that
c- I BELIEVE THAT
GOFR- i believe that we
c-I BELIEVE THAT WE

c- I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL
GOFR- i believe that we will WIN!!!
c- I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone- I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! x 25 more.

it's a great cheer. you can watch it here.

the next is the scotsman.

only here is how a cooler way to sing it is-
show me the scotsman who doesn't love the scotsman dog.
show me the Englishman who doesn't love the English muffin
show me the true blooded Aggie from Utah, who doesn't love the spot where the sage brush grows.

and the last.....

THE SCOREBOARD! it is the best cheer known to universities universe wide. and we do it EVERY game i've ever been to. except,.... last nights! what in the world?? it was SO sad! I was really disappointed.
but, watch it.

McKenna and Lauren and Betsy and I came back to my apartment and did some funny things.... haha. umm...

and then McKenna was lame and went home. but lauren and betsy and i got a pizza and bread sticks and went to the spot known as "the make out bench". only it was waaay too cold to get out so we parked my car and all jumped in the back seat and snuggled while eating our pizza. it was great. but, it's kind of a busy street... so i'm pretty sure after our hot breaths fogged up the inside of the car, every car that drove past thought we were making out. but, alas, we just snuggled. it was a great night. here are some pictures

so you can't really tell that well, but the front
seats were pushed all the way forward and down to make more room. haha

and betsy decided she was cold so she put her jacket on like sweat pants earlier today. it was great. 

Since I've been gone.

People are kind of crazy sometimes {hold the kind of}. Just throwin' that out there.

So since i have last blogged, here's what i've done-

• watched a very intense, very disappointing, very sad, football game at BYU's football field.

• took 3.5 hours to get home to Orem when it normally takes 2.
• ate some pretty darn good home cooked meals
• spent at least 36 hours in the advanced darkroom.
• watched 8 hours of conference
• updated my photo blog's look. i think it's pretty. 
• Saw on FACEBOOK AND NOT FROM THE INDIVIDUAL that Melissa Q is engaged! {my roommate last year!}
• thought about going scuba diving.
• saw Ashleigh's belly. it's not even big yet. sigh of disappointment. 
• got new car mats 
• drank a dr P.
• had fries at 5 guys {my VERY favorite fries}
• got a glitter kiss tattoo on my neck. haha {the kind you put on with water}
• dollar store run

• walmart run. had to buy CR2 batteries for my NEW camera! :D :D :D  {do you realize that these batteries are 5 bucks a piece??? and i need 2 for my camera!} have you met the newest addition to my camera bag? meet goldy. she works like a babe.

This is my new camera. i need to
get a strap for it now.

• learned some awesome moves for swing dancing. craved to go swing dancing but couldn't cause i was locked in the darkroom. 
• finally feel like a BFA photo major instead of just BA art major. 
• got to know the people in my major a lot better. it's crazy how well you get to know each other when you're all crammed in a nearly pitch black tiny room sniffing photo chemicals that may or may not be good for your liver. 
• ate a lemon poppy seed muffin during a photo guild meeting. 
• helped change the name of photo guild to.... the 18%ers. get it? we're getting 18% gray shirts that say 18% on them and aprons that say "photographers do it better in the dark". pretty cool. if you get the 18% gray part, i know you have knowledge of photography. if not, don't worry about it. you can google it if you really want to know.
• used a mono rail 4x5 camera with paper negatives with an ISO of 5 with the cool vintage style black cloth and such. i feel like i came out of the movies aristocats when i use it.

• watched Hawaii 5-0 and ANTM. 
• forgot my conference notes at home. :'( this is sad cause i was going to quote some of my favorite lines from conference for ya'll.
• got stoked about a SECOND temple in provo!!

• came home to logan.

I saw this on facebook and loved it!
I love the castle temples the most and this
statement is so true!!

and now.... I'm going to bed. night ya'll.

and thing #3 about Ashleigh for my niece {or nephew}- She’s a good listener. :D
