Autumn: Year 2

The Epic-ness of Us *Updated*

*Updated from the original post on 3/11/2011. More quotes added to the end*

Ah, what an enjoyable morning.
I just spent a few hours dancing, eating lunch, and chatting with a very pleasant friend of mine.
The topics of conversation were varied. Some of the discussions were about:

• super-gluing and bleaching spiders
  
• the dangerous, upsetting nature of food
• "Hate is a strong word, but I really, really, really don't like you..."
• the 411 on how to deny stress
• the murderous nature of hot water to some hard-backed creatures- but Asians love it
  
• french-kissing an ant
• "too many midgets"
• eating tomatoes like apples
• you can't have a fly for a pet
  
• Psych is the West Coast of tv shows
• "I feel like AJ right now!"

Add on to that enjoyable luncheon the great times we've had preparing for and competing at Dancesport. We went and picked out shirts (and tie and vest for him) that matched. We had pizza with Ruth and he 'made a fool of himself' jumping to grab me an abandoned, yellow balloon on the ceiling. I named him Ben (the balloon, not James), who was then taken from me at the Marriott Center because they "don't allow balloons in here." More unforgettable quotes that need mentioned were:

• Ooh, that one! I hate that one!
• But why orange? Orange isn't a color. It compliments, only.
  
• "I told him you're fine with it."
  "With what?"
  "Going to Wal-Mart before dancing."
  "Oh, yeah, I'm fine with that."
  "... Thank you for re-affirming what I already said."
• 'We beat Stephen' *cue sing-song voice and funky, victory dance*
  
• Who's that dancing with the banana?
• Go AJ!
  
• "What do you think of this one?"
  "Actually, I think I hate it."
• Watching open is like watching a bunch of Skittles dance."
  
• He's more twisty than a pretzel!
• *Aaaaye don't liiiike o-ran-ge-ehs*
• Powerade tastes like laxative.
• That's rude!
• I like that couple, because they're married, and that's nifty.
  

From the 'what if...?" random-answer game and other events of the night.

• ... I would like it. And it would probably end with them sucking on my toes.
• ... Excuse me sir, you have a banana.
• What if you were stuck in the sewer and couldn't get out? - I would have myself a tasty soup.
• What if we all had 6 toes growing from our elbows? - We would all look like old grandpas.
• What if Jimmer was a golfer instead? - I would move in with your mom instead.
  
• ...Geico would save you 15% or more in car insurance.
• What if there was an earthquake and you were stuck with JB and he made a move on you? - I would take a bite out of them!
  
• ... I would like it... then, maybe not.
• What if the hills were alive with the sound of "Friday, Friday." - We would burn them down.
  
• "I wasn't chewing them up... I was just sucking on them for a bit."
  
• "Oh, my giant blue head!"
• "Oh, yeah that's funny. That random 'she' friend was ME."

And any others:

• But I'm still reliable!
• Hmm, pudding... yeah, I'm thirsty.
  
• What gain comes from stomping on slugs?
• Hey man look at my new dog! - Oh yeah, that's pretty cool- Aaaah! There's no dog there. Oooohhhh - Aaaahhh...
• There's something on your face? *punch* It was pain!
• *Camel laugh*
• Oh, they're gonna do that, but it didn't show it.
• And we thought; sad.
• "eeeeeeeeeeeeee"
• Hyperbole and a Half blog
• "Aaaahhh... "
  "There is no __ there!"
• *vacant stare* Oh, no. I was just noticing that Kimber's foot is basically massaging my breadsticks..."
• "James ?" -Argh! What?! What do you want from me?!
  
• "Admit it, I'm pretty bad."
  "Well... I'll admit you're decently bad."
• Gr-urk-ah-br-ngh-gasp-akgr-blgr...Brain freeze!
• Come on, French people can't lasso!
• Hey, why can't I be a stone pig with horns?
• Is that how they used to tell if someone was dead? Drown them?
  
• Her head is always tilted to the right.
  It's because of the earring.
  
• Aaaaaehhhhhh... dead? or sleeping...?
• "Bla, bla, Toms, bla, I'm awesome, bla bla, Toms, Toms, Bla."
  "Well, I got these at Shopco for $3."
  "..."
  "Good."
  
• They're like eating happiness. And the happiness is all gone!
• Well these have stupid, little pictures on them too, why not just get these?
• James, what is this? I feel like I'm being possessed!
  
• This just in - I'm Awesome!
• "Why are we friends?!"
  "You're not my friend. You need me."
• Homegirl totes cray-cray.
• *text chain* R: You're late. J: Lol. No i'm not... R: Well you arent here J: Yes i am... R: ... where? J: Umm...here of course R: >:P Let me know when you get to 278 then J: I'm already there...
• I have a village of muffins in my fridge.
• *both simultaneously out of several minutes of silence* doo doooo, doo doooo, doo doo doooo doooo...
• Crunchy leaves are like steak...
• ...they probably outlaw it because ducky has too many brothers and sisters.
• mm^hmm.
• "Why do I always assume your father was eaten by that cat?"
  "Ooh, that's no good!"
  "It happens."
• Suit up!
• Run forest run! This makes me nervous for you... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
• A large, noisy Brazilian with food smelling strongly of bbq has taken over our table.
  The table is under attack by an army of dwarves.
  
• "Are you dead?"
  "Yes. But I'll be there in a sec."
• No it's not- shut up.

wishlist and 1000 awesome things

I've been thinking recently of what I can do/make/buy for those I love this Christmas. Which has also got me thinking, poor college student that I am, of the things I wish I could buy/receive for myself. So, just to get it off my mind so I don't have to think on it anymore and can move onto the selfless 'spirit of the season' feeling I should have, I've decided to write out my wishlist.

• A nice edition of a Greek & Latin New Testament, with notes and vocab.
• A similarly nice edition of the LLX or Septuagint.
• A pair of Toms with laces
• New headphones
• Recent printed pictures of my friends and family
• A small pocket-sized Book of Mormon (and New Testament too)
• Jimmer poster
• Practice shoes and latin skirt (a nice one)
• Greek sculpture
• Kindle books
• New snow boots and rain boots
• A new camera: compact, large pixel count, 10x zoom or higher, options for self-settings, blue (preferably)
• Stamps

While I'm listing my "I Want"s I would rather not seem to needy or greedy. For I have been feeling quite thankful recently. Especially after seeing/listening to the prophet at devotional today. I found a blog, 1,000 Awesome Things that I'd like to share. Here's a link to #180: Tripping and realizing no one saw you.
