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

Great Value

Well, as this time of giving and being grateful approaches us, we all are going our separate ways so we have decided to do a special blog. A descriptive blog, if you will.

Let us begin with A. A is a kind-hearted, fun-lovin, good time! She enjoys long walks to class, cruses around the Burg, dancing to the beat of life and grabbing the occasional hot coco! She is a little sass attack during the week but once that weekend rolls around she's a bundle of party! Mention the word dance and she'll come running like an ant to a picnic! When related to an animal, though she does not actually resemble one, many think of the blind mole rat! However, if we are only considering dogs, she would be a poodle for her graceful strut and her chique essence! Need a date idea? Taking her to Bear World, just off US-20, would be the perfect place! Put your hand together for this sun-kissed beauty!

        

Now lets move onto M. M may be the feistiest of us all. In fact, I will go out on a limb and say she is. This is definitely factual. M is not so much the type for long walks to class but more for a nice freestyle(rap obviously) session whenever she is feeling the inspiration. When related to an animal she would have to be the Yangtze river dolphin. Looking to take her out? A nice shake from Sammy's and maybe a show would be quite nice! Come on and give it up for this party girl!

Now we can learn about L. Many say she relates to a greek goddess by her great looks and enchanting voice. L enjoys midnight strolls around the Burg, going to movies, and haunted houses. Part of her past time is spending quality time with black beauty. When related to an animal, I have heard people say, she is the slender loris found in Southern India and Sri Lanka(she is tropical indeed)! Though L may seem intimidating at first, she can surely show you a good time! Going out for the night? The local arcades would be a great place to take this playful bundle of fun! Lets hear it for this dancing queen!

Finally, we will talk about K. K is a hot mess and may or may not have a sassy side. For the sake of factual reasoning we can say she does have a sassy side. She enjoys setting down for a nice movie and maybe some cookies or even going for a snowboarding trip. When related to an animal K is frequently called a long-eared jerboa. Trying to impress? A good time playing basketball, laser tag, or even a couple cookies and movie would be just the ticket! Lets welcome out K!

Well, now that you have learned a little more about the crew we will leave you with our blessings of hope and love for Rexburg, Idaho.

Lemons

The truth is, every apartment gets a bad lemon. The worst part? It's not a car; you can't just go and trade it in. What are you supposed to do with a 300 pound lemon? Even worse, what do you with the 300 pound lemon that brings another 300 pound lemon into your apartment? You can't even make lemonade! Where are you going to get enough sugar to actually make this lemonade taste decent?! The answer is simple, you're not! You're only option is to "smoke" the lemons out. This can be done in many ways; literally smoke them out (probably not your best option), befriend them (which leads to suicide, not worth it), turn off the electricity (causes foul language and fearing for your life), and my personal favorite, be as loud and obnoxious as possible. We have strategically chosen the last option.

How to "smoke out" using the loud and obnoxious method

Ingredients:

-Handful of friends

-4-5 roommates on your side

-2 cups of spite

-3 cups of balls

-1/4 teaspoon love

-1 cup of sarcasm

Directions:

First, in a large bowl mix a handful of friends with your 4-5 roommates. In a second bowl mix 2 cups of spite and 2 cups of the balls 1 cup of sarcasm. Combine the last cup of balls with 1/4 teaspoon of love in a saucepan and stir until boiling. Combine the first and second bowls. Roll out, then stick in the oven at 500 degrees. Once it looks done, let sit on counter for 1-2 days. Then pour on everything in the saucepan.


The combination of all these ingredients will, more than likely, cause drama and may be a fist fight or two but I guarantee it will piss them off enough to get them out.


On a happier note, boys do in fact have the ability to grow some balls! Someone has a date this week! It may have taken a couple million hints but it has, in fact, happened!

Reality of Rexburg

Rexburg Idaho. Where to start. No matter where we start it won't take long. How about with the vast Potato farms, or even better, the muscular farmers. Mmmm. Lets try Cajun Bobs, or even Horkleys. We'll introduce you to some "Pree-mees" and possibly some lucky "RMs." First off, we'll let you meet the crew. K, L, A and M. Four kindreds seperated out of premortality, destined to recconect in the one place on earth God won't allow shorts.
The purpose of the Loquacious Ladies, is to explain to the world how entirely outrageous the lives of those who live in this tiny town is. To begin our journey let us introduce you to the enemy here. Males. God's first, and worst creation. I mean, really? We could start by talking about the little things like the toilet seat, and the fact that everything needs to be a competiton, but those things are the least of our worries here in the Burg. You see when boys first come here, we have found that it must be mandatory that they pass some sort of test of idiocy. Whether this is to detract girls from seriously dating any "Pree-mees" (as they are more commonly known) before they go on their missions, or whether it is actually just some serious side effect from too much Ramen consumed in their first few months away from home, we won't ever be sure. We do know however, that they need a serious examination. More further on the subject of the alleged PreeMee comes the fact that they have lost all sense of chivalry. I mean, is a date unreasonable to ask for?! No. A simple walk through the gardens, or home cooked cookies with a movie is not a reaching for the moon. People, you have to understand that all we are asking for is a little attention without the requirement of a ring. That is where we introduce the "RMs." Also part of the male species, but with a completely opposite twist. Don't get us wrong, we love the attention they place upon us. But they have also earned themselves the nickname of the predator. They seem to love preying on helpless freshman. The problem with the predator is the idea that with this attention comes an equal return of favor. And that return is always the same. Marriage. We will try to refrain from using the "m" word too much, but it seems to be part of the mindset of the Burg. Students from all around the country (and world) come to rexburg to "get a good education." oh YEAH. RIGHT. They have one thing on their mind. Marriage. An eternal companion they can temple walk. And RMs have got the gold for this one. Although we don't mean to judge, we have met a couple who do not fit this category, the ratio between them isn't something to argue about.
The Locquacious Ladies, as a collective, have found that males in this town need a serious re-adjustment, and have thereby decided that the best way to solve our problem would be to create a blog. I mean, this will obviously work right? We have now introduced you to the squad and our predicament and will keep you posted on continuing progress in the near future. For now, we leave with our prayer that you  yourself will find someone that can solve your every problem, keep your every happiness and love your every fault. This is us signing off for now.
