Turkey!

Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite times of the year purely because of the name. Thanksgiving. It's the one time of the year that people slow down in their crazy, messy lives and appreciate all of their blessings and feel grateful that their situation could always be worse. Plus, the food is fantastic! We went to my Grandmas on my Dads side of the family and had a big meal with a bunch of my cousins and my Great-Grandparents. Then we played games all night. Before that ,Thanksgiving morning, my family went to Salt Lake City and delivered meals for the Salvation Army. We enjoyed it a lot. Hope you enjoy the new backround for my playlist!

Finally!

Sorry I've taken so long, but a lot of stuff has been happening so this might take a while. First of all, Halloween was fun and once again I completly filled up my suitcase. (I was a Lawyer for the third year in a row.) Then my birthday was Monday which is always fun. I got a lot of things like Arguing with Idiots: by Glenn Beck and the 3rd Mysterious Benedict Society. Yesterday was my friend party where we did a fun 'Video Scavenger Hunt' where you need to go around and video people doing stuff. Here's what we had to do: (a-hem) (Jeni made it.)
 WELCOME TO THE CRAZIEST FUNNEST (yeah, that’s a word!) COOLINGEST AWESOME MOST COMPLETELY AND FINALLY RADICAL VIDEO SCAVENGER HUNT eeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvaaaaaaaaa! 
1.Ukelele/sombreros w/cheese—someone has to sing Nacho’s part of the mariachi band at the party
2.running from a dog (someone has to be the dog)
3.Tie, untie, & retie someone’s shoe
4.Asking someone for nail clippers.
5.Kissing a Redbox and explaining what there is to love about Redbox.

13.Go through the drive thru and order only a straw
14.Read this philosophy of Aristotle, wearing a toga—standing by a flag.

“A tragedy is a representation of an action that is whole and complete and of a certain magnitude. A whole is what has a beginning and middle and end. A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.”

15.Wear this hat and explain directions to the North Pole by a road sign.
16.Laugh for 26 second straight—changing laughs at least three times everyone has to do it together!
17.Everyone explain—on video—why Mary Poppins should be awarded the Best Nanny of 2009 award
18.Stand by a bush and define the importance the dimensions a pyramid have on our daily lives.
19.Sell something that you find in the car to the camera
20.Everyone pose and hold completely still for 23 seconds.
21.Relay a message with each person only saying one word—UNPLANNED AND UNPRACTICED

My friends gave me 5 bucks and a whole ton of Magic: The Gathering cards. Then Bryan helped me make a awesome dweck I'm going to try it out later today.

Sick!

I have been sick for he last 4 days. I got the flu Thursday morning and diddn't really feel sick until gym when we ran the mile. The next day was late-start Friday so I just went because it was 2 hours later than usual. I finaly got to rest on Saterday which was the same day as mookies' friend partyso I stayed home and watched the first 2 Lord of the Ring movies and 3 Hogans Heros episodes. Today I was feeling better so I still went to church. 2 weeks ago was Reality Town in school. I was a Lawyer so I was able to buy the best of everything and still have over 1,000 dollars left over. My friend gave it the motto "Reality Town: Making sure Reality slaps you in the face." The end of the Quarter is this week so I just turned in the end-of-quarter assingment in literature. I did pretty well on it. I'll scan it in to show you it next post. Also Halloweens this Saterday and my Birthdays 2 days later so next post will be big.

So this weekend we left on 4:00 on Friday and arrived in Colorado on 12:35 Saturday morning in a 12 passenger van with every seat filled (my family minus my dad, aunt, grandparents, and great-grandparents). We spent most of the time playing a game where someone says a word and everyone else thinks of a song containing that word and sings it. My dad didn't come because he's currently less than a week away from starting his own business. He was layd off exactly 4 months yesterday and the whole time has been consumed in starting this business and this week is the final stages so he had to stay. We think it's going to work great! So anyway, we went to Colorado to celebrate my uncles 30th Birthday which my aunt (his wife) has been planing for over a year. We basically hung around and did whatever everyone wanted to do. Mostly we played bored/card games that we had brought or they already had. One that my uncle had was this game called Anti-Monopoly. It's basically Monopoly 21st Century Edition. Look into it.

.............................................................................

So, I went to my friend Brians birthday party last Friday (by the way he's feeling really depressed that he's not getting any feedback on his blog. Help me. http://questionable-legibility.blogspot.com/.) It was friekin AWESOME! We played a whole bunch of Magic: the Gathering (talked about in earlier posts) and Munchkin (also talked about in earlier posts). We also played a lot of ghost-in-the-graveyard, Mafia, Murder-in-the-dark, and Castle Crashers. I got him Glenn Becks latest book, 'Arguing with Idiots'. This following sentence was on the cover and fit my friend perfectly: "How to stop small minds and big government.'' On another hand, a different friend showed me this game on the Internet. It's called the powder-game. It's pretty fun. You should be able to get to it if you google 'Dust the game'. Later!

Cousins!

We just barely harvested our honey, yes we do have bee hives, and this year we 115 pounds. I like bees a lot. I've fiund that if you don't bother them they won't sting you. While on the subject of self-suffenciency, My moms made my family grow and bottle about 500 quarts of tomatos, pears, plums, and peaches so we will have plenty to last us all winter. Also, my Cousins came to visit. They live in Georgia and they came here from Wendsday to last night. It was fun to see them again because it's been about 3 years since we have seen them last. All they basically wanted to do was football, though. Last night they took us all to a BYU football game where BYU slautered Utah state 35-10. I'm not really interested in football so while the game was going on. I was able to read about 160 pages in the book I brought. (Inkheart). I can't believe that someone made a sport where grown men tackle eachother.

Stuff.

So, there's a lot to talk about so I'll get right to it. One of my best friends made a blog. It's really funny. It's http://questionable-legibility.blogspot.com/ Also, Mookies birthday just came and went. He said that everything he wanted had to be related to the 3 consecutive letters BYU. So we got him a whole bunch of BYU stuff, wrapped it all in white wrapping paper, and drew a whole bunch of U's on it in red marker. It was ridiculious. Also I'm not sure why I haven't talked about this before but my friends are into a really fun card game called 'Magic: the Gathering'. Bryan told me that this is a quote from the commercials

"Do you remember the last time a game required you to think?"

I've liked it a lot but I suggest looking into it before starting to play it.

Schools started and so far I'm getting straight A's. The result of which is that I got to pick out a book at the book fair.

I can't think of anything else so talk to ya later.

Summers Over!

I will now have a moment of silence for the passing away of another glorious summer.

.....

Okay, moving on. Summers over and I am back in school. I am doing a half day thing where I take the fun classes in school so I can be with my friends and then I go home after lunch where I take the important classes. I'm liking it a lot. Last night my mom took all of us to the dollar theater where we saw 'Up'. I liked it immensely. I remember that it made me feel old. I strongly suggest it. Speaking of movies, my friends told me about this strange movie I know almost nothing about other that it's post' apocalyptic movie that takes place in a parallel world. It's called '9'. If anybody knows anything about it please comment on my blog about it. Also,

TOY STORY 3'S COMING OUT!!!

Fun!

So schools started up again, I'm doing a half-day thing where I take all the fun classes at school and have lunch there with my friends and come home to do the hard classes where I really need to learn something. I like it. Also, before we were able to Spayed her, our cat got pregnant again. She just recently had her kittens. There's 2 that look like the dad and a solid black one. They're only a few weeks old. Lastly, I went on a scout camp this weekend, my Varsity Team went up to Simpson Springs. It was fun. Me and my dad slept in the back of our truck under the stars. I slept pretty well because no bugs bit me and it didn't rain and the sleeping bag was pretty darn comfortable. The next day we did Geo-Cashing until we went home. Also I got a new computer game from the library called 'Civ City Rome'. It's a really fin game where you are a Roman Architect and your job is to design a working Roman settlement. It's basically a RTS game minus the fighting and violence. You can build forts and train soldiers but I haven't used them in the whole time I've played it. Even my Mom approves of it!
Plus, I've been wondering, Why has everybody stoped comenting on my posts? I'd like to know what you think.
