The Greatest Adventure

The Monday before Valentine's Day, my FHE group made Lord of the Rings inspired Valentine's cards (they turned out quite spectacularly).  Anyways, during this creative time, we were listening to music from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which got us talking about the old animated versions of the Hobbit and Return of the King.  Now I am watching them, and I forgot how much I loved these movies.

I had also forgotten how well I knew the dialogue.  There was a moment where I was quoting part of the Hobbit for a good five minutes.  But the best part of these movies...Glen Yarborough singing...

Ahh, my childhood.  Good times, nay, great times.

Schnappi Das Kleine Krokodil

So, we have two sheets of butcher paper on our wall that we can draw pictures on.  The other day I decided to draw Schnappi, an adorable German crocodile that Josh introduced me to a few years ago.  This is what my drawing looks like:

Problem was, every time someone comes to our apartment they always ask who drew the green dinosaur, to which I always vehemently reply that it is a crocodile.  Anyways, this is where I draw my artistic inspiration from.

On a Wednesday afternoon...

So this one time, my brother Steve was in this group called Living Legends and he told me I should join.  So on a Wednesday afternoon two summers ago, I went to this "open house" thing where I could learn more about the group and then I decided to go to auditions the next day.  Lo and behold I made it and we went to cool places like Alaska, the Northwest, and Russia!

So anyways, after that happened I had a lot of new friends and a great Freshman experience behind.  In fact it was so great I decided to try out again and I made it!  So far we have been to the Four Corners area and SoCal.  We are just finishing up shows in Provo this weekend and we are eagerly looking forward to Nauvoo in the summer.

 And finally, there are three Tian(n)a's in the Native section this year.  We've decided to start a band called "Sharona and the Tian(n)as" and we will go on to have a fantastic career.

The Other Two

So, to dispel any confusion, I do have two other awesomely, fantastic roommates who respond to the names of Sarah Sokolowski and Megan Huckaby.  This is what they look like:

Maybe someday we'll actually do roommate pictures again with the new six.  Hopefully before someone leaves or gets married, whichever happens first.

Those Hairy Worms on Your Upper Lip

So a long time ago, my brother showed me a music video that BYU's Divine Comedy did called "Sexy Stache". At the time it was quite amusing, but now that I'm at BYU, I have found that mustaches aren't even remotely sexy.  In fact they are an abomination.  I even had a conversation about them that went something like this:

Me: I have concluded that mustaches are an abomination against the establishment of humanity!
Matt: Indeed.  They are the abomination spoken of by the prophets that will be mat with destruction in the last days.

Okay, so I didn't quote Matt verbatim, but that was pretty much what he said.  Matt's proposed solution to the problem is a "Mustache Board" that all students must appear before, but I say we ban it all together!!  So forget you little hairy worms, your days are numbered!!

1-2-3 Penguins!!!

So, once upon a time I was writing a letter to my grandma and I couldn't remember what had happened that week.  My brother Josh decided to take some creative liberties with my letter and said that 1-2-3 Penguins came to my school and did an assembly.  Well, this summer I asked him if he wanted to write my letter again, just for old times sake...

My New Home Sweet Home

I  have successfully moved into my new apartment.  It's good to be back with all of the roommates.  Chelsea nearly had a heart attack when I walked in the door, Chloe forgot who I was for a few seconds, and we all ganged up and Sam when she finally got here last night.  It's also nice that Megan actually lives with us now instead of just slumming at our apartment.  Sarah is the only one left to move in.  We're all waiting for her to get here.  Also in the business of the week I helped Matt move into his new apartment.  Since he only lives down the street from Stephen's house we moved most of his stuff by way of the dolly that Steve has.  That was sure fun.  Only a few more days until the first day of classes...
