Just For Fun

These funny thoughts were passed on to me from a friend, who got them from the guy that wrote them. They make me chuckle. I'll share a few, just for fun.
  • More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
  • Nothing is worse than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
  • Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
  • I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
  •  Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.
  •  There is a great need for sarcasm font.
  • I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.
  •  Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
  •  Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in... (10 second lapse)… ummm... Goonies"
  •  What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
  •  While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.
  •  Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!
  •  If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.
  •  I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dangit!) but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
  •  I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
  •  I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs.
  •  Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.
  •  I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

Sleep Mastery

I have always had issues with getting up in the morning. Well who doesn't? But sometimes I can be the heaviest sleeper. Back when I used to share a room with my sisters, I could have whole conversations without coming back to consciousness. I have to keep my alarm clock across the room and turned up loud to get me awake before I turn it off in my sleep.

This morning I hit a new low. It was bad. I blame my heater blanket.

I was half awake and half asleep and that's all I remember until I was flying out of my bed and going out the door in a matter of three minutes.

Tonight Rebecca told me what I had said as I rushed out:
"Oh my gosh I almost just subconsciously convinced myself to not go to school!!!"

Haha. I can totally imagine that coming out of my mouth when my brain wasn't functioning yet.
The Heather that controls me when I fall asleep must be very irresponsible because there is no way this Heather could pull that off.

When upon life's billows...

I'm feeling a little tempest-tossed, so I'm gonna count some blessings.
Thank you sky for the sweet-smelling rain today. Thank you dear cousin Sierra for the cold slice o' pizza in class. Thank you car radio for allowing me the pleasure of  rockin' out. Thank you boss for letting me shorten my shift for schoolwork. Thank you dad for letting me move into my nice big room again, instead of staying in the hole-in-the-wall with that awful orange carpet. Thank you to all the women and young women that came to stake basketball. A little friendly smack-talk and fellowship makes this church calling lots of fun. Thank you to my primary class kids for the smiles, laughs, and lessons you teach me. Thank you to professors and teachers who are so friendly and make my classes  interesting. 
Seriously, thanks.
Oh, and thank you to my family for filling up every corner of my life. 

So,
while moving my stuff to my old room I discovered a few things. First, I have too many books. When I move out, I'm going to have to find a way to stash them all away somewhere. Second, I have a lot more clothes than I thought. Why is it then, that I never seem to have anything to wear? Third, this girl needs new shoes!
