Technology.... What it is all about

The title of the blog is based off of a great skit that Ali g did. The link is provided below. The reason I am writing about technology is because I am on my moms iPad and let me tell you, it is a delight. First off, I never have to spell check. That's cool right? You guys might understand what I am saying. Also, I and typing this like a computers key board.seriously the coolest thing ever. Basically I want and iPad. I won't get one fora while, but Icahn play with them all I want while I am home. Another fun fact. Autocorrect. I have seen many peoples text messages where they spell something wrong and it autocorrects it into something completely inappropriate or random. So pretty sure that has happened here.though, I refuse to read and fix. Obvious.

a turning point

my post today is a bout a turning point i had yester day. i went for a run. now, i have two routes which choose. one is longer than than the other. basically i run to one point, a stop sign, then i run back toward my house. it is on the run back that i decide if i go big or go home. hahaha lliterally though. as i jogged to my decision, i thought, "Kim, what do you want?" naturally i wanted to be home, showered and eating some sort of delicious treat. but then i pushed that a aside and had a vision of what i want to be. healthy. and with that, skinny. so i quickly re-routed to the long run trail. FANTASTIC. yeah i am not gonna sit here and say i ran the fastest i ever did that trail, im not even gonna say it was easy. it was hard. but nothing easy is worth getting. hence sluts. haha that was rude. but really. When i got home (capatalized this sentence) i did some weights. i felt great. not that i have not had great workout before, i have always pushed myself and motivated myself, but today is the first time i noticed it i guess. all im saying is self motivation is truly the best form of motivation. if you dont want it, its not gonna happen. you are ALWAYS faster than the person sitting on the couch.

so here i am making a declaration, i refuse to go backwards. last year i was at an all time low of my weight and i gained that all back. this year it has not come off as easily. but now i have learned new things. i am excited to go back up to school and work hard at the goals i have set in mind. dont worry my large audience, you will know my goals and see my progression, good or bad.

my biggest frutration is i want to be a certain weight. but i am doing muscle building excersizes to tone and such. well it takes time for muscle to form. thus, i am still the same weight, but i can see a change. thats always nice. just frustrating to see a change in the mirror but not on the scale.

but its all about inches.... all about inches. i just keep telling myself that.

today at kickboxing i heard myself say the same thing. i was tired and i didnt wanna work out, but then again i said, "kim what to want?" immidiately i knew what i did. so i worked for it. i woudl much rather be sore today, than sorry tomorrow.

my advice to people would be push yourself. if today you can only do one push up, thats great! tomorrow do 2. if thats a struggle, do 2 the next day or until you can do 2 really well. then move on to three. just always improve. you cannot stand still in any aspect of your life. you are either moving foreward or backward, there is no middle ground.

so yeah, my name is kim and i am not a size 0. i have a butt. some would say it is likened unto a butt of an black woman. but am i healthy? yes! i work hard to keep myself able to walk up stairs without being winded. i am excited to run around and play with my future kids. i want to be THAT mom. the one who keeps up with her kids and sometimes beats them. and by beat i definatly do not mean physically abuse them, but beat them at activities.

the hardest step is the first one. but i am past that. i am already out the door and plan on staying there.

so, what are you waiting for? catch up with me.

and one more thing

i forgot! i wrote another song. i should record these down and post them up here. gahl. thats scary. here are the lyrics. yes, another not happy song. SURPRISE!

Without You

you told me my life with you would never end
i believed you, by best friend
now i can see thats where you lied
the moment you left, theres no way i survived

and when you left you stole
all the breathe from me
hold my hand and wait
as i suffecate

now that your gone
my fight is over
so why dont i run from you?
instead i watch myself slowly die

im sitting on a bridge
my feet are hanging down
with you we could win
yet, you push me in

now that your gone
my fight is over
so why dont i run from you?
instead i watch myself slowly die

we walk into my grave, you lay me down
its home
your poison led me here without a remedy
im gone
isnt that what you wanted?
fine, you win
im dead

na na na na na na na na na na na na na

now you will see how much you need me
cause its my breathe that you need to breath

now that im gone
your fight just started
i dont wanna run from you
i wanna watch you slowly die

without me

na na na na na na na na

good luck



yep. another somber one. but they are fun. i am learning a lot. um. i am working on a 4th song and a 5th, but the 5th is a country song. hahaha i like it. more to come!

MW3

ok, so this is mark hamill aka luke skywalker. kinda a big deal. yeahkthanks
my cheeseboys
ohh man. this guy
coolest thing. i took my car in and this was what my miles were exactly. neato.
i dressed him.

kel mitchel (all that, keenan and kel) he yelled jupiter when we took the picture.


hmm where to start. no real news. just a couple of things. que bullets.

• first, i applied for study abroad italy for fall 2012. yaaayyy. some concerns. in order to be accepted i have to take italian 101 before i depart. easy right? i am in college, that class should be offered. false. it is not. thus i would have to find time out of my sched on top of school to do that. its possible but idk if i wanna do it because another thing is the classes i would take would not count towards my major. they would be like empty credits. i dont wanna work for empty credits. i just wanna see europe, not work while i am there. soo i have a lot to think about.
• funny story. one my way to get the mail at work (at a p.o. box) i saw an old man walking down the street playing the violin.....what? like that was casual or something. i rolled down my window to listen for a moment, he was good the few notes i heard. on the way back, i saw a man dressed in a circa 1920s tux with top hat included. he was old and had a large white beard. also, he was smoking a sherlock holmes type of pipe whilst twirling a cane. bamf.
• i made a dress from scratch. it took me a while to finish, but it turned out good. i had not pattern and just sort of made it up. it was stressful and frustrating, but i am glad i did it. i learned a lot. now my next project is to convert old shirts into cardigens. booom. gonna be great.
• best news. i got all the classes i wanted for my next semester at the times i wanted. i had to wake up at 4:55 am to do so, but i was done in 5 mins anyways so it was worth it.
• oh modern warfare 3 came out. delightful. i am getting better. WATCH OUT
  

thats it.

Little Inez

zelda's boots.

i got my first pair of boots. now kim how could you have livedin the snow for two years and not have had boots? well. sneakers. imagine these boots in a brown, thats my boot. they are comfy. i have not worn them yet. hopefully i will have the courage someday soon.

sooo i went to the 25th anniversary symphony for the video game zelda. now, many of you, and by many i mean possibly my one follower, and by one follower i mean myself. anywho. this concert was fantastic. i have never witnessed a symphony before. this was great. i was not familiar with all of the songs because i have not played all the games, i know zelda fans you, you can punch me. this concert DID make me want to play the games though! man, google zelda music and it will pump. you. up. i went with brandon, of course. it was my brithday present to him. not to toot my own horn, but it was quite possibly the best bday present ever. points for creativity. also, basically, i am the best gift giver. really. challenge me.

xoxo

I feel like i am on the titanic.

lets recap this past weekend. wooohooo. soo bullets!

• Friday. i had to finish an essay for an online class. i also got to babysit my nephews. heres the sitch, yeah i am kim possible. so besides working next to a pot shop, i also work near my dentist, the complex over. it is also where my sister steph goes to the dentist. she had a cavity... and by cavity she had more than one. basicall, one appointment wasnt enough for fix them all. anyway, i got off work the time her appointment started, she has two handsome young boys. we switch cars, she meets me at my house and picks up her boys. well that was at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. i took the boys on some errends, bank, store with no shoes, dinner, which consisted of me leaving them in the car, sprinting in, ordering, sprinting back to the car, waiting, sprinting to pick the order up, then sprinting back to the car. but, i digress. steph was trying to find a babysitter for the night time so she could go out with husband and friends. she was calling everyone right in front of me. i knew she did not want to ask me because i always sit for them. i do not mind. so finally, after allher resources exhausted, i offered my services. it was great. the boys didnt want to go to bed so i just put them in my mom and dads bed and snuggled with them. one on each side and we watched my shows. i say my shows because we were not watching yo gabba gabba crap. they watched greys anatomy. i though that would put them to sleep, instead, they kept asking questions about the show. like where are they? whats wrong? it was cute. i sat there snuggled by two of my favorite men and teared up. i knew that one day they would be my age and not remember snuggling with me in their grandma and grandpas bed, but i would. i took a breath and promised to remember that moment.


• so saturday night i went to fright fest with some friends. i was a little sad because the group i would have gone with are all gone. no gone like dead, but we are all in different places in our lives now. its werid. i wont ever get those years back. they are just memories. but i digress again. so six flags. sooooo crowded. but delightful. so i wanted to go on roaring rapids at like 10 at night. i love those rides. none else really wanted to go. so i jsut said, ok. i am going. if anyone else wants to go, come one. i got three followers. WELL good thing i did. so brandon was one of my followers. we were scared we were gonna get wrecked with water. there are three major points at which to get wet. the first two looked like brandon and i were gonna get the wave, but then miraculously, was pivoted at the precise moment and were saved. it was fun to watch the other people get demolished with the tsunami of a wave. we laughed. but then it was our turn. worth it.


• so after we returned to the bottom of th ride and awaited being pulled up, the ride broke. we could not be pulled up. well we waited for like 3 mins then they broke out the lifevests. yep. sitting on the ride, they made us put on life vests. i felt like it was the titanic. we hit a glacier, no worry, but put on a lifevest just in case. haha. they were actually for stepping on the platform. that half a foot hovering above the half foot drop in the water was pretty precarious. nevertheless, my followers and i made it. i wish i could have kept the life vest.


• the great thing. every ridee was 2 hours atleast of a wait. that just sucks. so because the ride broke on us, we got a front of the line pass to any ride. man, the group i was with should be soooo glad i love water rides. i was kind enough to the people who didnt follow me and allowed them to come on the ride with me. point of the story, follow me, i am a kind leader.


• fright fest. soo there are a lot of haunted houses around the park. i love HH's. they are a delight. again, noone really wanted to go so i said ok, i just want to go to this one and i will be good. 4 ppl said we will just wait in the car. so my two followers came with me and BOY did we have a grand time. waiting in line for the haunted house is soo great. they have scareers that go around dressed as zombies, grim reapers, just scary people and their purpose is to just scare anyone. this one lady scarer chased people. haha. so good. then this guy walked pass me and my followers. thinking nothing of it, we let our gaurds down. then the scarer swiftly turned around and scared one of my peeps. i thought he was gonna scream he got so scared.


• in the house of horrors. tangent, horrors is the hardest word to say. anyway, there was this one room that was all black with green neon splattered everywhere. to my left i saw a bench that was oddly shaped. i though the room was cool. then the oddly shaped bench was actually three people! they popped out at me so fast. i screamed. love that. the next room was like a bridge sort of thing. then out of no where they had a guy on a bungee that jump out from the wall next to us. hahah i screamed yet again. then at the very end, and i mean last spot in the wall. this guy was in like a gilly suit. i thought he was the wall. no, real person. love it. love it. i should like to go back now. stat.

I believe that is all my adventures for the weekend.

til the time of next.

kk

p.s. i did wall sits while wating in line at six flags. just letting you know i'm bamf.

Shuckface piece of klunk

klunk - poop. as the book says, the sound poop makes when it hits the ground in the pee pot.

shuck - (shuckface) basicaly th f-word.

good that - to agree with someone. (thats my favorite)

slinthead- derogatory, not endearing.

runtcheeks - ^ same.

greenbean - a newcomer

the book worm.

pancakes.

"All country songs are about pancakes" quote from brandon turley.

haha soo i am getting into country music. weird. but i have found i enjoy some songs. it all started with Friends in low places. truly a work of goodness. its a fun song to sing at the top of your lungs. um so i have a coupel fo stories that i must write about. i have been slacking in posts for about a month. so here we go.

• Mom thinks the movie Benjamin Button is called Benjamin Buttons... so is the movie about him and his button company struggling during the great depression?


• at work, i googled how to become a disney princess at the parks....its possible.


• Got a new chiropractor. My mom asked for the name of him, the lady said Dr. Nissum. She goes, oh, ok Dr. Nimnum. I then said, no mom, Nissum. She goes well good, i would not want to go to a Dr named Ninum while she was still on the phone.


• talked to a man on the phone at work. the other day. we were trying tp resolve an issue. he sounded like the guy on seinfeld who is Elaine boyfriend for a very long time. he has such a distinct voice. he used the words perplexed, confused, baffled, intriged, mind-blown. sadly the phone call only lastd 20 mins. hahah. but its cool he called back another day and used all the same words. i used conundrum so i felt we could be in the same playing field. i love him. he is prob sooooo suave.


• went to a dodger game with my cousin AMY yes, in all caps. a guy/girl/photographer asked to take our picture. we politely declined. i then, in a hushed voice, yelled "i hate memories".


• My brother brandon did a road bike race at mount whitney. talled mountain in america? so he raced with a team, it was like a relay, form the bottom of death valley, the lowest point in america, to the top of whitney. i drove the car that followed them as they rode. it was fun. two events occured. 1. the night before we stayed in a SHADY hotel. it was dorm room style. we had two small beds and a sink. he bathroom was down the hall. it was very old. i mentioned to brandon while climbing the blue stairs and staring at the peeling walls that this is the type of place that people get murdered. luckily, we were spared from an edward scissorhands type of killer i imagined in my head. number 2 was really a number 1. yep. there was a period of time where i was the only on in the car. all the other riders, there were 4 total, were all together for an 18 mile stretch. well since i was so concerend about the riders, i realized i had to pee. i was in the middle of the dessert. so. i sat on my dads automatic step thinging, the step that comes out when you open the door, and i peed. in pitch black. in the middle of the desert. it was peaceful, weird, awkward. also, it wasnt likea 10 sec pee. straight up 1 min. at least. i probably impressed some desert creatures.


• lastly, i had the house to myself all last weekend. so nice. i literally walked around in my undeies. felt soo good.

well thats about it. i would like to say that i feel great about myself. i struggled a lot this past month, but sunday i turned over a new leaf. i can say i am happy right now. i feel great. i feel strong. i am strong. hopefully i can make this last a long time!

love always,

kimMUAH (clever, thank you very much)

p.s. i am obsesssed with pinterest. if you havent found out about that yet, go discover yourself.

so i am an adult?

well, i have made an adult decision and it sucked. so yesterday i was invited to spend the day at the lake with some good friends. sounds good right? a nice monday on a lake doing various wonderful activites. but, alas, i have work every day from 9-2. so i could call in "sick" and go to the lake or i could go to work. after tormenting hours, i decided it would be best to go to work. i went back and forth many times, but in the end logic ruled me out. a day of fun? or a job til the end of the year? since its only my second week, i need to be making a good impression.

speaking of good impressions, i went and played poker last night with friends. i told everyone i was not very good at the begining. i asked what hands beat what and such. i made a horrible bet ont he first round. then BAM i attacked. i didnt win the night, but i was def a competitor. i got 4th out of 6th. i lasted about 3/4 the time we were playing. i surprised some people. i love poker. its so much fun. i dont gamble, but its just a fun game to play. a bit of an addrenaline rush if you will. you have pocket 2's, not the best but you need to see the flop so you call the raised bet, then the flop happens, nothing that helps you, but you can back down, you raise the bet yourself, show everyone you are confident, then the 4th card. another 2! with confidence you put forth a medium to high bet, people are hesitant, but agree. then the river. by this time the cards dont offer much to other players. you do one last medium large bet, bam. everone is still in. your heart beats so fast as the others flip their cards over. you see them and realize you have won. your shaking hands stop. thats what happened to me. phew. i cant wait to play again!

um thats it.

kk

grammer, spellling, and wording. OH MY

So for all those who were so curious as to what i am going to study for the rest of my college days, the answer is english. please, stop laughing for a few moments as i explain. i love to read. i want my job when i am old to be all about reading books. thus, i want to be an editor or a literary agent; therefore, i need a degree in english. i realize that english will not be the only thing i need for these types of jobs. so i am minoring in communication. then i could possibly do the PR aspect of books. thus, i still get to read them AND tell other people to read them. now you may be thinking, "hmmm, how can this girl succeed. I have read her blog and its full of grammatical mistakes, spelling errors and her wording is atrocious". well folks, my blog is my free write. in a free write you dont take time to spell check or anything, you just write fast and the first things that come to your mind.

i got a job! woo hooo! shout out to my dad who always helps me. i work at a properties managemnt firm like 10 mins from my house. my longest commute yet. its a pretty decent job. i do the tasks they give me and i try to do it to the best of my ability.
bonus about this job! umm so the next door business is what? please guess? a starbucks? jamba juice perhaps? how bout an insurance company? errrrr. wrong. a medcinal marijuana shop. yep. a pot shop. the first day i walked into my office i knew i smelled pot (this is coming from a high school where kids would show up to school high). and then i just sort of ignored it. my co-worker then two hours later told me there was a pot shop next door. we laughed. i was hungry. along with smelling pot everday, which i never enjoy the smell, we get to watch the people unashamedly walk in and get their 'medicine'. characters. thats all i have to say, c-h-a-r-a-c-t-e-r-s.

so for the singles ward at home, my ward now. yay. we are doing a regional activity where each ward has to write and record a ten minute movie. well my brother, who is the ward with me, loves zombies. he went to the planning meeting soley for making sure the movie was about zombies. so by the end of the planning movie, its a zombie apocalypse meets jack bauer in 24. needless to say its going to be great. my whole part in the movie is having jack yell at me. i will always ask him a question or for help and he just yells "I dont have time for this!" its my brothers favorite part. i think its going to be good.

I wrote two songs on the piano. i was surprised at myself. i thought i could never write music. its basic mind you, but i like them. they are my lyrics that explain my life. i will write the lyrics, i think they are great.

you dont need me
by Kimberly Turley

you don't know the affect you have on me
when you're not there i cant breathe
my world goes black when you're not around
something is wrong, there lies my fear

CHORUS
how can i live without you hear
to save me before i fall down
there is no way to get up
i need you way more than you need me
oh baby please dont see
how you dont need me

there is no way for me to explain
the broken rules to my messed up game
so how could you win, but would you still fight?
through the shattered rules
the broken pieces, am i worth it to you?
CHORUS

This is my plea that i give to you,
give me the chance to let you break through
all my walls are quickly falling apart.
opening a way to my heart.

I could beg
i could crawl
if i thought that would change it all
but i know that it wont

there is not more that i can say to you
if you dont
love me too. but i dont
want to fall. dont let me fall
let me leave, standing tall. still

I cant live without you hear
to save me when i fall down
you are the reason i get up
i need you way more than you COULD need me
oh baby please just see
how you save me.

i cant live without you near.
so i'll be waiting right here.

the second song!

picture perfect
By Kimberly Turley

dont put me on a pedastool.
what happens when i make a mistake and move
and when i fall, do i fall out of your heart?
how high was i from the start?

CHORUS
i am not your picture perfect
i tried for you to make me worth it
but i cant, you put me to high in the sky
bring me down and meet me eye to eye

my lips are not rose red.
and how did you get that out of what i said
i try to explain to you but you dont understand
you need a breakthrough or a break is all i have for you

CHORUS

now that i hurt you you can finally see
that i am not everything, you told me i would be
but deep down i swear you knew me and you didnt care
dont use me as an excuse
either way you loose, because

You are not my picture perfect
you try, for me but you're not worth it
and you will try to meet me in the sky
but you will fall as tears stream down my eyes

cause i know

i am my own picture perfect.
i tried to change for you but its not worth it
so i'll soar into the sky
you cant meet me so i guess this is goodbye.


so yeah. those are my two songs. i love them. i am working on a third thats a little more happy. but now that ithink about it, is not really. hmm. oh well. misery loves company. not even sure that works.

till next time

while its fresh

so lake powell 2011 was soo much fun. there was the usual wakeboarding, tubing, jetskiing, hiking, and so forth. so here are a couple of stories.

• wakeboarding: well i didnt jump the wake, yet. but i am getting a lot more comfortable with myself on a wakeboard. i can jump in for the wake and get some air, but not a lot. still an accomplishment. i attempted a powerslide. i almost did it but couldnt whip my foot out enough. i am just assuming everyone knows these terms, i dont really want to explain them. thats what google is for.


• tubing. wow. k so i was on a tube, my dad hits a wake, shoots me 8 feet in the air at like 30+ mph. as i was in the air i looked down and saw the water and thought, "um, i am not in my tube, nor the water. what?" then the water hit with a vengance. it hurt but man it was so fun. my brother bud got the wind knocked out of him, and i got a bruise on my eye, but other than that we were all safe. thank goodness.


• jetskiing is one of my favorite things to do. i just like to go fast with no restrictions, til tears run down my face uncontrolably. not that i was crying, but when there is wind in your eyes going at like 55 mph, your eyes just automatically tear up.


• hiking. OKAY so we went on three hikes. all of which i have done before but they are nonetheless very fun. first hike: peek-a-boo arch. the end of this hike results in finding a natural arch that is about 500+ feet above the lake on the edge of the wall surrounding the lake. its really scary. it gives me vertigo just looking down when i am up there. so cool hike, but always makes me poop in my pants. second hike: this was by far my most favorite hike. so we went to a place called hole-in-the-rock. this is a man mad passage by the pioneers. they blew through the canyon with explosives and took their carts, baggage, children, etc down a narrow steep passage to settle somewhere in southern utah. this resulted in history and a cool hike. you can see in some places where they hammered stakes in the wall to help with the wagons. anywho. so its reletivly straight up and you have to climb over rocks. i was wearing sandals because i was. haha. and i hate shoes. so the whole time on the way to this place we saw a storm coming. little did we know it was a crazy storm! about half the way up the rain hits. it was the coolest feeling in the world. one second, completely dry, then bam soaked. it was anything but drizzle. also, since the pioneers just exploded a hole in the rock, hence the name, the sides of the trail are striaght up walls that extend like 300 feet-ish. so the rain just pelts off of those walls and was hitting us. now i did not realize the extent of the situation. i just though how cool it was. only after, when people told me, did i realize i was caught in a flash flood. so i was with jona hiking up slowly, and brandon, matt, and taylor (yes i am aware no one knows the latter two) were up above us. they stopped when the rain started and hit under a rock. we were below them. they warned us about falling rocks and we saw a couple of huge boulders fall right next to us. well i didnt like just standing there so i said, well jona, im going to hike up. you coming? so i took off my sandals, there were no use now, and so we got to the top. seriously i cannot describe how cool it was. we had to hike up newly formed waterfalls, pick rocks that would not slip and fall on us. it was breathtakingly beautiful. well after the storm died down, brandon and company, who had stayed under that rock and not seen us pass them, went down to look for me. they came across my sandals and panicked a little bit. they thought something terrible happened to me. while i was up top admiring the beautiful view of the passing storm. they then decided so climb up toward the top. i saw them and yelled down to them. then all was well. i do not regret continuing climbing in the storm. it was the stupidest, but most amazing moment of my life and i would not take it back for the world. the third hike was less exciting. basically you go through slot canyons what still have water in them. but you do not know how deep so you kind of just have to walk in and go for it. me, jona, brandon and company made it to the second slot. but it only ends with a slot pool that smelled like poop and a waterfall that you cannot get up without a rope. still a fun hike. i always like that one.


• on the sunday we were there, we do not do things on sunday because its the sabbath and we are mormon, there was a crazy cool storm that passed our houseboat. ear shattering thunder and blinding lightening. then the rain pelted us. i was the last one standing in the rain. it was really fun to just sit there and get drenched.

those we the highlights of LP 2011. but overall a great week. i also got tan. so BAM. oh and my hair reverted to its natural blond state. THANK GOODNESS.

til next we meet. xoxo k speshul

p.s. i am the queen at blokus. google it.

c u next tuesday

So yes, its been a while. Booo hoo for you. I, on the other hand, have been having some crazy times. So I finished up school. So we shall start with my birthday!

• Well Brandon was unable to come up to visit. That was a complete bummer. I was at the farmers market with my roommate sarah, and my two guy friends jona and scotty too hotty. I get a call from Brandon. I was expecting him to say hey im on the plane, see you soon. Uh no. that is not what happened. He missed his flight. It was pretty frustrating. Both of us were pretty upset. i had to keep myself composed in front of my friends though. So I sucked it up and said I needed a diet coke. We rushed over to horkleys, Rexburgs famous large cheap drink place. Guess how long the line was to get a drink? Um at least a half hour wait. Not okay. Got back in the car and was even more pissed. So I we went back to the apartment. Overall the mood was bum-tastic. So I didn’t really have a plan for that night. Luckily, my momma sent me a package that contained a gift card to barnes and noble. BAM if anything could make me feel better it was that. and it did. Kudos to scotty and jona for coming with me and making my day better.

• So here is the next big thing that happened. So my friend jona turned out to be more than just a friend. We started hanging out every day. I would usually mozy over there casually at night. I am friends with everyone in that apartment so I would be very casual about showing my fondness for him. haha. I thought I was pretty smooth. Thing is, I am too smooth. I guess my little notions did not convey that I liked him. so one night, he was walking me back to my car and we were just talking. I was already thinking that something big is going down. So I asked him what he was doing tomorrow and he just interrupts me and says, “kim, do you like me?” I was just astounded by the straighforewardness of it. I liked that a lot. but being kim turley, I could not have just flat out said yes. I had to play it cool. I round a bout way said yes. And things went from there. I did tell him about my nervousness about relationships in general and how I am not always the most comfortable with touchy feely stuff. So we decided to just take is one day at a time.

• Well things were great. We would hang out at normal and we def got closer. Now for all those who know me, I am not a person to share my feelings. I do not like to talk about them, discuss them, analyze them, or even have them. hahah harsh but true. But I really opened up with jona. Hes a person who I can be comfortable with. I let myself be me. I saw a change with myself. A good change. I was comfortable being me. I don’t think jona understands how important that is to me. I am really happy when I am with him. he is also a very genuine guy. He treats me so well. I always feel safe with him.

• Now this is all a little bittersweet. At the end of the semester, as in like three weeks ago, we had to have the talk of what was gonna happen with us. Talking about feelings. Woo hoo. But this is good for me. I really have become better. The struggle for me is knowing what I want. I know I like being with jona. But I do not know how far I want that to go. I guess this is a fear of mine. I like to control things. I hate not know what is gonna happen. Its like reading a book but I can only get a page a day. there is no way I can read fast or skip to the last page and find out the ending. It blows.

• So for the bitter. We decided that we are on a break. I don’t know how long this will last. But it hurts none the less. It just hurts no knowing. I miss him being around and just talking to him. and have I mentioned that the break just happened yesterday. So….. hm. It’s been less than two days and it already sucks. But I guess this is good because then I get to really find out my true feelings for him. so as for now it sucks.

• Here is the bright side. Starting today I am going to just enjoy this time. sure I will miss jona, but maybe it will work out. Maybe it wont. Hopefully no matter what we can still be friends. I would miss him too much. I am going to go on dates and figure out what I want in life so I can make more definite decisions when necessary.

My life is a lot like a roller coaster right now. There are ups and downs, drops and climbs, but I still end up in the same place, back at the starting platform.

and im feeling.....gooooood.

I could not think of a creative title. so that is what you got. my birthday is on saturday. weird. i will be 20. i will have lived two decades. i still feel like i am an awkward 16 year old. but i am not. my brother, brandon, is coming in to visit on friday! so stoked! my mom called and asked if i wanted to fly home for my birthday and i was like, ' i liked coming home last semester, but it was so hard to come back. but you could always send brandon up here'. and BAM hes coming up here. love my family and the oppertunities i recieve. shout out to them! it should be a great week. all my roommates, except sarah, are leaving. apartment to ourselves! i love that. soooo much. i love living along. it is sarah's birthday on monday. we are almost twinsies. cool fact. brandons best friend balsy wells is up here at school with me. balsy does not know brandon is coming up. and i am pretty sure he is not an active follower of my oh-so-popuLAHRRR blog. we are going to surpise him. also, my cousin andy is coming up from provo. party. real, real excited. its gonna be a good weekend.

this is the part where i wrote a whole paragraph on how i like this guy. i promptly deleted it.

umma. our apt has been hot/cold this week with me at the middle. i like being in the middle. i get to hear both sides and make a decision based on what i conclude. i try not to be biased. i do give my opinions, i admit. but i try to be fair to both sides. i am like a double agent love that.

life is good right now. i have been on track for my health goals. only 4 pounds to go to reach my target. then comes the fun fun fun 10 pounds of hard work, sweat, blood, and tears. but i am determined.

side note. there is a midget in my class. i am literally looking at her right now. she said a prayer in class, mormom school; spiritual thing, and she stood on the desk. i was creeped out. she seems so nice. i am going to try and talk to her. phew. this will be tough.

see ya on the flip side

procra....PAPA JOHNS FLASH BACK!

couldnt even finish the word but i got too excited. i worked at good old Papa J's my senoir year of high school. i got to work with my BEST friend. so heres how i got the job. its relaly funny. soo i was looking for a job and i really wanted to work at papa johns. so anne and i applied there and they said well we arent hiring but we will let you know if something comes up. so i applied to Hallmark. i got that job. that was hell. the worst job ever. first week into Hallmark i got a call from papa johns, they were gonna hire anne and i. well DUH i said yes. hung up the phone and then realized i had a job in Hell aka hallmark. i quit hallmark and went to Pj's. best decision of my life! i think i had my mom call my manager at hallmark and tell her i quit. hahaha. any whoo. that explains the list of things i recently wrote on my friends fbook wall of things i loved about Pj's. my apologies for it being hard to read, but i cant paste it in here.... so i took a picture of it. ITS THAT IMPORTANT.

just to Mickey Dees...

Last night for FHE we played fugitive. for the fans who do not know what this game is, it is great, i suggest and endorse it. soo here is how it is played. there are cops and there are fugitives. the cops objective is to find and catch the fugitives. the fugitives objective is to get the safe spot without being caught. easy enough right? ok. so the cops get to drive cars while the fugitives run. we all start at the same spot and the fugitives get a 3 min head start. the cops all pile into a comple of cars. the driver drives, obiv, the passengers have to get out at chase a fugitive and tag them, if they see one. ok. so we started at our apt, on top of a hill, and we had to meet at Donalds, as cooper would say. McDonalds for those who do not read my post regularly, shame on you. so breezy, swack (suzzy), and k special started running together. suzzy wanted to hide and walk behind some white gate. i disagreed and felt we needed to ditch her. so i said breezy, we gotta make a break. nothing personal, i just wanted to win. so breezy and i sprinted far and away, Bee Tee Dubs i wanna watch that movie. i get soo into games like these. im glad breezy knows me well enough to just let me, be me. if i was her, i would have thought i was CRAZY. well, i am. im a crazy b. soo. i got scared by a old couple. i thought they were coppers. they were not. just elderly. so as we were walking through a shady and highly lit parking lot, breezy turned to me and said, people prob think we are gonna jack a car. i said, well i am wearing camo (true story, yeah i was that prepared) and you are a beaner. we do look pretty suspicious. then we laughed, got scared we saw someone, and ran. ok. so we get to the Donalds parking lot. the parking lot is in the shape of a square, obiv once again. there is k mart on one side and like five differnt shops perpendicular to k mart. we saw one of the coppers cars just sitting there, later we found out they parked the car there as a decoy and they were really running around. we got nervous and ran behind k mart, then behind the five shops. then was the gaunlet to Donalds. all we had to do is touch the door. we sprinted. and made it. i know, anti climatic. but the moral of the story is i won with breezy. we rocked it so hard. i get so fired up from that game! thats it. i have vball tonight. wish me luck and love.

peace out n easy (couldnt resist)

so in my previous blog post i stated i hate doing catch up blog post. well lordy lordy what do we have here? another catch up blog! here are some highlights of life in the past couple of weeks.

• I am becoming great friends with my FHE apartement! i love them all, they are so funy and just nice ot chill with. i can be my complete self around them. last night i was hanging with Mikal and Blake. Blake was working on some designing thing for his senoir project. basically making labels. mikal was fiddling on his guitar. he knows french and started ot sing in french. i have no idea was he was saying but he ended with Blake Jackson. haha so naturally i had to ask him what he said. he just said how much he loved blake. so funny. i was laughing pretty hard.


• charles, chase, and jona aka C-Snipe, Chissel, and Homes. they are great. was all just started making up gangsta crew names for each other. i am special k, or k special, bri is breezy, karrie is kiki and sarah has two names. i made up swack, which i love and secretly want, then the boys made up swuzzy. funny story about that.


• went to monkey rock again. i climed the waterfall and got soaked. thats ok, it was really fun. i wanna go back when it is warmer so i can climb to the top. i love stuff like that. umm then we all started skipping rocks. Homes was the best. i was not. i tried really hard though!


• i am playing vball again. mm mmm mmm mm. love. it feels soo grood, good and great, to be back on the court. i went ot my first practice last tuesday and was on fire. gahl. hitting is just so much fun. and digging. love it. then this past saturday we had our first tournement and we won all our games. it didnt count in the leauge, but we showed them all. im happy with my team. we have some REALLY good players. i am a bit intimidated, but i like that. it makes me work hard and not slack off. i have the same coach as last year, brock. i felt really good when he called me and said i was on his team again. it made me feel good about myself and about me as a player. hes a really cool guy and a great coach.


• we played ulitmate frisbee this weekend. it was such a nice weekend! in the 70s soo warm and sunny. anywho, i rocked it. haha. brandon taught me good. im not a super good thrower, ok, not really good at all. but sometimes i am. i am a great catcher though. i like to sprint for it. its a rush.


• back it up, back it up, back it up, cause my momma taught me good.


• i have finished three books. Ship Breaker, The Maze Runner, and Pretties. all of which i recommend. so stinkin goood. i love love love reading.

that is all i can remember. i have to work on being better. i know to my many fans out there! haha.

oh, i forgot one story. me and breezy were walking to class one day and we were going to cut across the grass. about 5 - 8 steps onto the grass we hear a click-click. we look at each other and go uh-oh, spinklers! and sprint back to safe ground. a couple, who was kissing prior, applauded us.

xoxox

special k

start of something new.... again.

just found out the bald man on the lefts name, Mark "The Loveman" Pender. classic.

a new semester at good ole BYU-I has begun. well it began two weeks ago, but i didnt feel like blogging,.,l;argj9rnma g klja bkjlas;ls g. Sorry. the bloggin world just tazed me for saying that. anywho. bullet point time.

• went home for a my spring break, actually it is really a semester break. i got to bring my roommate sarah home for half the week! that was fun to show her where i am from and my family. i think/hope she had fun. i know i did.



• LIFE GOAL: Complete. see Conan O'Brien in person. hell yeah i did that. and yes i said hell. thats how excited i was. my brother go tickets to see the taping of his show and offered me a ticket. honestly, one of the best days of my life. i was so excited. i prob annoyed everyone that was with us, but i dont care.



• While at the Conan show, we sat in the second row. yeah you read that, second row. and near the band. the bald guy in the band, i dont know his name, but just refer to the picture, was putting his fist on his forehead and nodding his head back and forth. i started laughing at him and he pointed to me and was like do it. so i was like, okay! put my fist on my forehead and rocked out. throughout the whole show i would do that to him and he would do it right back. it was on carmera a couple times too. hahah. then one time i made him mess up. i didnt mean too, but it was so great. so yeah, when that new dance crave of forehead fist nodding catches 0n, you are welcome world.



• tuesday, Conan happened on monday, beach day. perfect beach day. it was hot with a sligh breeze so you could jsut sit there. i decided to forgo sunscreeen. not the smartes descision. fried. thank goodness i put in on my face, but everything else, fried. i am tan- ner now so i guess it was worth it. but i am still peeling which is beyond crazy. and starting to get a little rediculous.



• wednesday. now do y'all expect me not to talk about disneyland? cause how could i go home and not go to dland. like seriously, lets get real here. ali was on cloud nine at dland. i ate a turkey leg. nailed that thing. it was good, but i dont think i will ever get it again. it was more of a challenge than hunger. worth it though. i gave sarah over to my other roommate, bri, who lives in san diego. we were like divorced parents, trading our children off.

• the rest of the week i did not really do anything.



• but i must mention. i played sardines in the park with some friends. it was at night and the moon was halfway, so there was moonlight and it made shadows. well i was it, for those who are unfamiliar with sardines it is opposite hide and go seek. basically one person hides and everyone has to find that one person. once you find them, you hide with them. last person to find them becomes it. picking a small space is always fun, then you get to see everyone squish together. back to my turn. so everyone else got found within the first 5ish mins of their turns. it took them at least 20 mins to find me. guess where i hid. really guess. we were in a park. next to a baseball diamond and tennis courts. there was a lavish jungle gym with slides. got your guess? i hid under the shadow of a tree. i layed down pretty close to where they were counting and layed under a tree. in case you havent figured out how incredible i am, there is another reason.



• back to school. i have been back for a couple of weeks. classes are in motion. some of my classes are compete jokes. i think my advanced english class with be my hardest. i got into the sewing class i really wanted!! i know soooo stereotypical right? woman and sewing. whats next? a bakery class? actually, yes. cant wait for it.



• my mom and brother graduated from college last week. i am so happy for them! that is such an accomplishment for both of them. i got to go to utah adn watch them walk. i also got to spend time with lots of my family which is always fun/stressful/overwhelming/great.



• new obsession: Steam Rooms. i love them. i want them i my house and everywhere i go. they are very relaxing and fun.



• wow. i dont like to catch up blog. thats it.
  

xoxox,

kimmah

dun. which spells done.

i am done with the winter semester! all i have to do is show up to my shakespeare class on friday at 7 am and bam. i am done. in celebration of being done, idaho decided to throw me a party. now idaho's parties are not the most fun because idaho's kind of party is snow. snow that pelts you sideways. its april. that means spring. wuuhh?

• i made ableskievers last night and mmm so tasty. we had our fhe brothers come over. this one kid, mikal is so funny. i feel like he's just getting comfortable around us. so as i was making a batch, i hear a whisper. at first i was like what is that? then i heard a hey kim. and i turn around and mikal was right behind me. he then said, still whispering, that he was parched. i laughed and asked him if he wanted to something to drink. he then said, oh if you dont mind. i asked if he wanted water. he said whatever you have. then i asked if he wanted milk, he said whatever you have. so i got him some milk. you have to know the kid to understand how funny this story is. this kid is sooo polite. one time he said, and i quote, 'that sandwich looks hella good'. hahah i almsot died laughing. then i said back to him 'yea it tastes hella good too' then he just looks at me and was like did you jsut cuss at me? hahah for a second i couldnt tell if he was serious. i am still only guessing he was kidding.


• second fhe brother is blake. he is hilarious. litterally. i could just stalk him all day. weird. and i would never to do that. mmm. i regret writing that, but i have no shame. he is talk and super skinny and he was complaining how he should stop eating so many ableskievers. i looked at him and was like, you weight negative 5 pounds. eat these. then he laughed and said how he now weights negative 2.5 pounds. i looked at him and said, 'yeah those pants look a little tight. why dont you just glue the ableskievers straight to your thighs'. it was all fun. thats it.

xoxo serious, kimmah

weekend at bernies...and by bernie i mean anne.

its not finished!

yeah. she is on the stairs.

modeling 101

some kid punched the glass. po'd.

classic tim kurley

just cass jumping photos.

rawr.

i take modeling pictures, am i cool now?

white picket fence.

the jackets. DI.

cupCAKE

a big gust of wind for breakfast.

smiles.

everyone looks great in sepia, especially us.

CAKE. too legit.

As seen by the plethra of pictures, i got to visit my best friend anne! i have been meaning to visit her for too long, but illnesses and school and plans have crowded my weekends. but the wait was worth it! i absolutly love anne. i can truly be myself around her. i can make my great jokes that no one else gets/understands. we are like peas and carrots, except more like cake and ice cream cause i dont like peas and carrots together. beside the point.

friday night i drove down and we made a huge cup cake cake thing. we. ate. so. much. cake. not kidding. before we made our cup cake, there was already a cake there that we were eating. we are crazy yo. but sooo good. then we went to carls jr. cause we dont have a carls jr near me. soo mmm. lovin me some famous star. then we looked through old picture and old memories.

oh did i mention friday was april 1st, as in april fools day. cause it was. and boy did we do a great prank. so in the triad of best friends, anne, ali and myself, anne and i were together, so naturally we had to get ali. we know her fbook password. so naturally we made a fack profile and put her as in a relationship with him. his name is jason keyes and we googled chubby cute guy, ali likes chubby men, and we found a pretty good picture. we made the profile and covered our bases pretty well, we made everything all private and such. then we put them into a relationship. now ordinarily this wouldnt be a weird thing. people are in relationships all the time on fbook, but ali is different. she is too good for most guys so she hasnt had a bf before. this insured maximum comments. 2 mins after we put up their relationship, this stupid guy comments and says that the guy we chose was from battlestar ultimate or something. pissed. who says that. jerk. we hated him for a little. cause guess what site the googled picture came from? gayteenforum.org. not dot-com. dot-org. then we laughed at this kid. man. best prank i have ever done.

saturday, we woke up feeling like p.diddy of course. then we p90x'ed out. yo yeah we did. then we tyra-sized, hence the picture up there of us modeling. we do this for fun and no for serious. we mainly just LOVE dressing up and doing crazy make-up.

this was a great, refreshing weekend. i needed an anne hangout more than i thought. i miss high school just for the fact that we would hangout literally everyday and had such great adventures. 143 anne, 143.

then i drove home. around 3 hours. guess what i did the whole time? listened to myself. not kidding. i have to do a preformed paper for my shakespeare class and so i have to memorize 1 and half computer paper pages of Henry V. i gave up on that after about a half hour. i think it helped though, because as i was memorizing it today i recalled my voice in my head. hahah. wonderous.

so i got home at unpacked, said hi to my other roommate and went to bed. general conference was today. my other roommates went to SLC for conference and my other roommate went to her bf (ish)'s apt. i had the apt all to myself! love. love. love. yes i LOVE my roommates, but i also LOVE having my own space. i just enjoyed conference all by myself. i made some cookies. loved it.

soooo last week of this semester. it went by sooooooooo sooooo fast. thank goodness. i had a lot of fun, but i am just done with this semester's classes. then i get to drive home on friday. wooo hooo. this break is gonna be great. first i am bringing one of my roommates home. monday i get to go to conan o'brien show. pee'd my pants. so excited. then wednesday i get to go to six flags or disneyland. then other various activites with my fam.

the next few weeks are gonna be great. im happy.

xoXXOooxo

devestated sir, devestated.

today, i experianced a loss. a devestating one.

i went to the temple as usual on wednesday and i ALWAYS have my anklet on and i ALWAYS take it off to do baptisms.

i forgot to put it back on.

i did not realize this until i was home for a few hours.

sure this doesnt sound devestating. but it was. for you see, there was a story about the person who gave me this anklet.

it was supposed to be a bracelet but it was too large. i have always wanted an anklet to i put it on my ankle and its been there for like 4 months. . i went to an old folks home to sing christmas carols to them. back in the day, that scared the CRAP out of me. not the singing, the old people. they used to scare me soo much..... they still do...a little.

anyways! we always talk to them after we sing and chat and be friendly. i sat down next to this man, i wish i could have remembered his name, i want to say it was gerard. but no clue. anywho. he was a classic tale of the american dream. he grew up here worked hard, went to college, got married, supported his family, and he loved his wife. i loved hearing his stories. i noticed he was wearing a few bracelets and the conversation sort of stalled, so i complimented him on his bracelets. he then told me a story of how his son went to a country and bought a lot of them and was selling them to people. his son gave him a few. he then looked at me and smiled a beautiful old person smile, i do love their smiles, 'do you want one?' shocked i said 'oh, no! your son gave them to you! i couldnt.' then he preceded to take the bracelet off and put it on my wrist. i was in awe. and love. but mostly awe cause he is old. he was the sweetest. i hope to see him someday or in heaven and we can talk and be like remember that bracelet? yeah me too. then i could meet his wife and children and we could have a playdate. assuming i out live him and his posterity. lets hope so.

tangent. while at this old folks home i got to talk to this other lady. we were talking and she wasnt really making sense. she was a nurse in some war. and i asked her if she ever hit on the men she treated. she laughed really hard. she was great too. then she said she had cancer and i was sympathetic. then she said, and i quote, 'they took away one of my boobs. i only gots one boob!' yeah. not kidding. then she continued, 'its ok though. its not like im feeding anyone with it'. yep. love this lady too.

just remembered another moment with the first man. hahahah ok this cracks me up. so me and him were talking and there was a lady behind me and she was talking really loud. my man looked at the girl a couple of times. i joked, 'you got a crush on that one?' his face got real serious, quote again here, 'no! i hate her. she is so annoying! she talks during the movies and i really dont like her'. haha i laughed really hard at that one.

thats it. im sad. i have lost my anklet. maybe i could find it next week. hope for me!

the hindu temple....and some girls..

after round one!

during round one!

before round one.... before even getting to the event!

Literally painted with the colors of the wind. this past weekend my roommates and i drove down to utah and visted various places. it was quite an adventure let me tell you. again, i shall bullet point events. its effective, simple, lovely and of good report. i will start off on friday.

.

wrong way - before we started out on our journey to utah, we got on the freeway. then we had to do a a freeway change. this change ALWAYS trips me up. i always ask if i am going the right way, then i always go the wrong way. that led us on a slight detour. since idaho is rural and we are in the middle of nowhere, there was not an exit for like 20 mins. once we found an exit we had to go another few mins back to the freeway change and then we were on track.

.

china.... more like crappa - soo this isnt raciest, i love chinese stuff. i speak some chinese. wo xiao ni. i think that means i love you....or something weird. anywho. while driving, i was hungry, we were hungry, and ali is gluten intolerant. so we had to find a place that had some gluten free food. my brother suggested a chinese place called manderian. it happened to have a gluten free menu and after some contenious conversations, manderian it was. we had a roommate who had a bad experiance with chinese food. but she is lovely and of good report and she went to manderian still. well. we get there. have to wait 30 mins to be seated, nbd. im pretty patient. when seated no waiter talks to us for like 10 mins. as that 10 mins went by, the table who was seated a minute after us, got their food. as our drinks came, the other table was done and they left. so that was frustrating, especially because we didnt get our food until an hour later. yeah. no joke. we timed it sir.

.

the square of the temple - since dinner took forever, we got to temple square when everything was already closed. i was a little disappointed, but we still got to walk around and have a good time. i climbed a 6in ledge by myself. rocked it.

.

north carolina - so after the night of fiascos we got to the place we were staying. that was great. oh wait, first we got a in-n-out milkshake. soooooooooo good. we slept there and woke up around 9.

.

kk's son, kk's - we wanted breakfast. we got a dozen krispy kreme donuts. we each ate 4. end.

.

back to the future - at 9 we went back to temple square and went to the salt lake temple to do bapstims for the dead! and let me tell you, A.W.E.S.O.M.E. the inside of the temple was amazing. so much history in there. i was loving and memorizing as much as i could. i cannot wait to go back. it was also really cool that me and my roommates were able to be in the temple together and enjoy preforming ordinances. after baptisms we rocked around the square for a few mintues.

.

asthma - then we rushed to spanish fork to attend the festival of colors. it was crazy sir, crazy. basically what it is is this: the hindu culture celebrates something and how they celebrate is by tossing colored chalk in the air and at people. lets just say, i got rocked. before we even go to the festival, some guy chucked green chalk in my face, as i was talking and my eyes open. hahah it was awesome. i loved it.

.

Cj's sir - CARLS JR. mmmm i love their famous star burgers. sooo tasty and sooo yummy. and i could each like 500932 of them.

.

bud not buddy - then i visited my brother dressed in my chalk. he wouldnt hug me. thats alright, i wouldnt of hugged me either. i got a hug from my cousin Adny though. so sweet.

.

HSM 1,2,3, Wicked, Hairspray, etc. - driving home singing everything we had. yay!

.

DISCLAIMER: This next section contains spiritual things.

slizzard with a blizzrd - so as driving home we hit a CRAZY snow storm. no joke. i was driving. it looked like we were going into light speed like in star wars. yeah i used that reference and no, thats not the spiritual thing. so i was really nervous. i didnt show it though because if i got nervous, then the whole car would have gotten nervous. i jsut kept singing and said a little prayer. after an amen and a few mintues, i felt a overwhelming sense of comfort. and then i heard in my head 'slow down' and 'its ok'. needless to say i was comforted and we got back safely and all in one piece.

.

so that was the weekend of fun. i'm really glad i had the oppertunity to have a fun spiritual weekend. i love getting closer to my roommates and just thankful for them and our friendship.

seriously,

kimmah

p.s. 11 days til spring break. : )
