Land of the Free? Or free-akishly ANNOYING.

So I have been promising ALL MY FANS a new blog (okay only one person reads my blog, yet I continue to pretend a have a large fan-base). And although my life is thoroughly exciting in all aspects of the word and I have endless topics I could write about, (false)  the most prominently annoying topic in my life, as of late, is Americans.

Now, I don't mean to be ignorant, because I do understand there are some great US-ians out there,(rare) but the country honestly believes it is "THE SHIZ". There have been a few things that have been pushing my buttons as of lately that apparently I need to rant about in order to get over.

Firstly, I have never feared more for my life than I do when trying to cross a cross-walk in the United States. I'm so glad that the people are encased in a huge metal vehicle are given the right of way. Yes, it makes a 100% sense to have the people driving the cars be able to plow around where ever they want! Plus, you know what really gets me? If I do happen to step out in front of a car, and Heaven Forbid, they have to wait a whole 15 seconds for me to SPEEDWALK (because I am that scared) across the crosswalk, I get the typical "Ameri-face" ----------------->
This is face that Americans love to give. Get in someones way at the grocery store? ----->This face. Say "bag(e)" instead of "ba(h)g"?-----> this guy right here. Say you like OBAMA? You best believe you're gettin yourself an Ameri-face.

The irony of the Ameri-face is that WE foreigners should be ones giving the face. To give you only a SAMPLE of the questions I have received about CANADA would astound you.

"OMG! Have you ever even BEEN to a Walmart before?!"

 

"Wait, you have Nation Anthem too??" 

"Well, it's probably weird for you to have Sunlight for most of the day right?"

"'Washroom?' Why would you need to do your wash?"

"Canadian Money? This is Monopoly Money."

All in all, American's have continued to prove to me that they are not worthy of sharing the continent with God's REAL country, Canada. Hhahah I'm completely joking. But as a friend once quoted to me, "We're bigger and we're on top. In prison, we'd be king." 

Mostly this was a rant that took me four days to write. Hopefully you see some of the humor.... otherwise I just look like an A-hole. Which doesn't really bother me either.

Atrocious Attire

With a population of just under 30 000 people, Rexburg, Idaho probably isn't considered a major urban center, in any sense. So, I guess in some respects it is understandable that people aren't quite up to par on the fashion side of things, seeing as the two major shopping centers include the DI(second hand clothing) and Walmart, (where I will say I have found some decent buys, don't hate) but it also seems practically disrespectful to some of the rest of the world to have some of the acts I see go unnoticed. We have come to the conclusion that there is some sort of invisible force field surrounding the BYU campus. It seems as if  no one with any sense of style can penetrate this undetectable force. Okay, okay, some of this may be rash judgment, but after the things seen on this campus most people with adequate judgment would agree.  Something needs to be done.

A week ago I was jaunting across campus in hopes of actually attending a class on time, 100% focused on my goal when HOLY!!!! I stopped dead in my tracks. I felt like I was observing a rare and possibly volatile animal. For the next few sentences you'll have to use your imagination, and honestly, it still probably won't be good enough. Picture THIS: Leopard print dress, half way down the thigh, trimmed in a two inch long black lace, covered with a Michellin Man Red puffed jacket, hair tied back with a bow that I believe they only sell to children under the age of three months when they can't yet decide what gender they are, and topped off (or bottomed I guess) with the most pungent looking Pink you can imagine tights, in two inch black pumps.
Now. If you don't need a breath after that, you clearly have a stomach.
I will give the girl credit though. If she didn't get noticed by someone and get asked on some sort of date I'm clearly doomed. Who would notice me next to that rodeo!
I guess you could say I have my work cut out for me. In reality, i feel torn. --Do I help these fashion deprived students? Dedicate my life to them? In a sort of Stacy/Clinton way? --Do I ignore the fact, realizing that Rexburg, Idaho has the highest percent of marriages in the county? --Or do I give IN to the fact, realizing it has clearly worked for some, why not me?

Perspective.

How tough is life sometimes. Its crazy to think how fast it goes by, but in reality we're here so long. We hear the cliches all the time, "live life the the fullest", and "live in the moment", but I feel in truth it changes for each person. I have my own personal outlook on life. It comes down to perspective and attitude. Two people can be going through life and see two completely different things. I always felt like my mom's outlook was, "Life's not fair", because that was a speech I seemed to get a LOT, hahaha. But I really do believe it's all how you view things. Someone may be considered unpopular to the world but if they are confident with themselves then what does it matter what the world says. So I'm working on having a positive outlook.

"When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade." I have a love/hate relationship with that saying. First off, why the H do I have lemons in the first place? Do i live in the tropics? hahah and THERE's the sarcasm... I wonder if that helps my outlook on life. Sometimes I think it does. But thats usually only when people are laughing at me. Otherwise it sometimes hinders I think. Overall I just need to realize, in the words of my rap idol, Mr. Jay-Z, "Life is for Livin' not Livin' uptight" Everything in life works out, and if it doesn't I have my family and the gospel to help me out. I'm so grateful for both, and I'm working everyday to be grateful for so many things.

This blog was probably more for me than for anyone else, so thanks for reading if you did, sorry if I sounded like I was getting all prophetic on you, haha probably because I was trying to. Wisdom in my blogs :) hahah. Just Live. and be grateful everyday you get the chance to. <3

Introducing the Facebook Whore.

Hey, Its A, just had some thoughts and wanted to share. I would write my own blog but I don't have one so you guys get to hear it out. 

 

I'll definitely admit to having a lot of Pet Peeves. I hate when the cheese is cut on a slant, (like can we not just have a parallel chop?) I hate when people can't keep their gum inside their mouths (wasn't cute in grade one, STILL isn't cute.) and I absolutely can't stand fingerprints on cell phone screens because that's just straight up dirty. Lately though, I've developed a new pet peeve. Something that has respectively earned itself the name of "Facebook Whore."

The Facebook Whore is not your typical facebooker. I mean, come on, we're all are a tad addicted; checking news feeds, looking at pictures and regular stalking, but I'm talking more than that. I'm talking the people who like every comment, every picture, and every status. Okay, I understand when you're best friends with someone. Reasonable I guess (Janie Richards) but I'm talking when you go to like a status and realize that someone else has already liked, commented and written their own status, about the old status, and then proceed to LIKE their OWN status!

 

Okay, thats a bit dramatic but you know what i mean? When you go to like a comment and then notice that the facebook whore has struck again. There's no escaping him/her. Then you feel like you can't like the status because you don't even want to be near the territory of the FBwhore. And then you're upset that they stole your ability to like a status.

It's becoming a problem and it needs to be stopped. But how? I feel like the only way is to out-whore the facebookwhore. It's going to be tough, but I'm willing to do it to gain my rights and freedoms to facebook back. So for those of you who start getting a lot of notifications, you can just know its my facebook whore-ish side coming out. And when you're feeling super popular, you'll know who to thank. :)

Temporary split

You should know that the Ladies are temporarily split up. Half in Rexburg, a quarter in Virginia and a quarter in Boise. We practically aren't surviving without eachother, but we are working through it with a lot of FatCats, belting Moulin Rouge and some classic blood soup.
Just letting you guys know that Rexburg misses you two. The negative 29 weather and our constant parking tickets aren't enough to lure you back here apparently.
Short and sweet today. But we love you. <3
