The Bridge Between us is a Rainbow.

OK first of all, Wow, I have gotten such the inspirational positive support for everything. Its true that animation people are the best kind of people. I appreciate it SO much, you have no idea. It has made my 'wallowing in self pity' period super short lived, and has inspired me to work super hard this summer on my art so I will most definitely get in. I needed a year (semester? we'll see once I get the letter. I SO hope they ask me to reapply in August) to work on my generals since I was stupid and didn't get American Heritage out of the way last semester. I took Sociology instead which was good, but unnecessary.

Anyway, This is so a blessing in disguise. I bet I didn't get into animation because God knew that if I didn't work on generals, I would spend all my time doing animation stuff, and not work hard in my other classes and that would be BAD.

I don't know if that's true or not, but I like to think so.

Anyway, I saw High School Musical 17 again. Starring Zac Efron. Not going to lie. The previews make it look really stupid, but it was way funnier than I expected. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also, seeing the Zefron playing someone different than Troy Bolton a la High School Musical was really refreshing. You can tell it was made for a wider audience and It was generally a very happy surprise.



The only thing that bugs me about Zefron is that his eyes never seem to be looking at anything. Like , I know his eyes are pointed at people, but there is like, no connection. Wierd. I bet he is secretly a really hot robot.

I'll try and post some art next time. Since that is my new goal, to regale you with great masterpieces. Sweet.

Packing up all your stuff is super lame just FYI

Valentine's Day

So yesterday was Valentine's Day. and for basically the whole day, I was holed up in my room writing a book of mormon paper. Then I got out and went to the cannon center with some people. I basically had the option of going and seeing australia, or going to the dance. I chose the dance. It was way fun. I hung out with the boys from Merrill Hall since they are way more fun than the stupid Budge boys I danced two times with Hyrum, and twice with Tanner. (hehe) It was so great. 

It was annoying trying to get there because I saw some girls on my floor who were going, and I didn't wanna show up alone so I was like "Hey can I go up with you?" And they were like "Sure!" and basically, one of the girls had a car and it had snowed earlier and it was super icy, and we were trying to clear the ice off the windows, without one of those scraper things. Then she got in, and tried to start the car for at least 15 minutes. I was dying because A. These girls aren't really my friends and B. I really wanted to go to the dance and hang out with the Merrill people since they are fun. Finally, we decided to forgo the car, and we went to our lobby to get the lame-o budge boys. (ugh) and we caught the shuttle. As soon as I got there, I sort of ditched them, walked around the dance floor looking for someone I knew (feeling really lame since who shows up to a dance alone? Uh no one.) 

Then Hyrum and all them saw me, but they went to go do karaoke so I went with an art friend and her friends. Then I re-found Tanner and Hyrum and a couple of the chipman girls that they were with. I forgot to mention them before. I slow danced with Hyrum, but Tanner was just standing there, and there was totally this other girl who is fully from his home town and he didn't even ask her to dance. (hmm...) then there were the lame-o jumping songs. Swing dancing, with Hyrum again. And Then he left and Tanner asked me to dance on the slow songs. Somewhere in there we got drinks, and I stopped to throw my cup away and looked back

Then the dance was over and they were cleaning up and they had these lamps that looked like Narnia lamps and I was like "Ah these lamps remind me of Narnia" and that Mckay kid was like "I still haven't seen the second Narnia movie," So I jumped at that opportunity and said that I had it and that we should watch it. So we rode back in the shuttle, then I ran in to get the movie, my laptop, and I changed out of my sequin skirt into some pants. Then we went to Merrill Hall so Tanner could get his car keys. Then we ran to his car since he wanted to get to Dairy Queen before it closed and we had like eight minutes. Only his windows were covered in ice and snow too, so he had to scrape it off. Mckay and I sat in there and talked about stuff that only happens at BYU. Like Tunnel singing, and class getting canceled because the T.A. that was supposed to teach got married (that was funny). Then we drove to Dairy Queen and we got there right when it closed and the guy inside looked at us through the window and like, waved his arms trying to tell us he was closed. So I suggested we go to the Malt Shoppe which is this place that has been there since the fifties at least and we got sundaes. It was so great. After that we watched the movie and made jokes about it the whole time. So great. Then it was around 3 or so when it was over, and tanner offered me a ride the really short distance from the parking spot to the door, but I declined since that would be a waste of gas. And that was it. So great.

If he really does like me, which I can't really tell if he does or not, It seems like it, but I dunno, he is probably shy about it or something. 

Gah what is wrong with me? I am starting to sound like my sister, during her Eric phase. What's even worse is that I think that this video is really hilarious. I am obviously a closet Jonas Brothers fan. Ugh. What is wrong with me? 

Post-Holiday Gloom

Ah I am back in the dorms, And I really don't want to be. School stinks. I had fun over vacation, and I am not looking forward to this whole school thing. Being home gave me some hindsight about BYU and It made me wonder what I thought was so fun about this place. The air is too dry. I forgot my face lotion. you can do the math. I don't think anyone really missed me either, because did anyone write on my facebook wall saying how much they missed me like they did with everyone else? No! well no one except my home friends. Grr. Well I see how it is everyone! Now I do not even feel bad for getting lame christmas presents. Ah Clearly I am bitter about this whole being back at school thing. BYU is a good school and everything, I just didn't get to see enough of my home friends to be satisfied. 

Ah, I am so not looking forward to the next four months at this point. Maybe monday will be better...

Life.

ok let me tell you about my life in the past two days. 

Yesterday I went on a date with Jake. It was a double date which alleviated the awkwardness a little. Sorry I didn't take any photos. So we went out near the volley ball courts and we made attempted to make giant soap bubbles with dishwashing liquid, since Jake couldn't find legit bubble soap. It was pretty fun and we got a couple big bubbles out of it. Then, we went to Legends Grille and had dinner, it was pretty good they take a long time to get your food but whatever. Anyway it was fun the boys kept talking about some comedian I'd never heard of though but whatever. Anyway, the other boy is a member of the astronomy club and there was like a thing in the Eyring Science Center and we saw this thing about all the stars and like right at the beginning when it got all dark, Jake like tapped me and was like "Meredith you're really pretty" and I'm like "Um Thanks" Haha I think I suck at taking compliments. So then we looked at all the constellations and whatnot, which was dumb because of course they showed like, ALL the stars so it was really hard to see even the familiar constellations. Then there was a little break and we waited around and then saw october sky, about this kid who's dad was a coal miner and he was probably gonna be a coal miner, and then he saw sputnik and got inspired to build rockets, and won the national science fair or something, and this his dad became proud of him and he went on to work for NASA. It was weird cause we had to watch it on the ceiling of the planetarium. During the movie there was this one part where the Jake Gyllenhaal's friend was like, telling him how to do that move where you put your arm around the girl and he tried that but it was not even smooth cause he like, whacked me on the top of the head. So it was like, joke-y. 

Then we walked back to Hinkley Hall and played foozball and chatted a bit. When he walked me back to my dorm, he was like rubbing my arms cause it gets really cold at night and I had no jacket and then he went to hug me goodnight and was like, swinging me around and so was making it linger was longer than necessary. I dunno I am not really a touchy person. I don't even really like hugging my friends or anything. So I dunno it was weird. He so is going to ask me out again cause he was hinting about it. 

Tonight I saw Divine Comedy with this dude Jeremy and that was funny. I didn't think it was like THAT funny but it was alright. I'm used to Dave Chappelle sketches and Russell Peters stuff which are way funny. Then I came back and this girl was like "wanna go to a bonfire?" and I was like "I dunno" and then she said hot Taylor was there and then I was like, of course I wanna go. So we went meaning me, Chanel, Abby and Rachel and we found everybody and it was kind of embarrassing because I go and say hi and trip over something. I've been really clumsy lately I dropped my phone last week and the corners got a little scratched, and I trip over stuff all the time. Its kind of pathetic I guess. Anyway Taylor was kind of obnoxious, he would keep saying how much he hated the things we liked and he kept telling Rachel how much he hated her like best friends growing up. I think thats really horrible. On the car ride home we were talking about stuff and he kept saying how much he thought what we liked was stupid and everything. By the end of the night I was getting really disappointed. I mean he seemed really nice and everything but I guess he isn't. It totally bummed me out big time.  

I feel like I'm in kind of a gloomy mood. I'll probably be like this for a while, unless something makes me happy. Like hot taylor saying "I was lying about all the stuff I said I hated and you're really cool and way prettier than my tv star ex girlfriend and I won't be such a snob" Psh Yeah right.
