i can't write in library books?


doppelganger: a ghostly double or counterpart of a living person.

this is a picture my dear cousin ashtyn found on the internet. she said she found it on some random website. okay this picture FREAKS ME OUT! i think the resemblance is creepy. some differences: my teeth are better, her forehead is bigger, i'd like to think i have more of an upper lip, my eyebrows are better, her ears are smaller. some similarities: our eyes are almost identical, our hair, our face shape, our skin tone. i am officially a believer in the doppleganger theory. what do you all think about the resemblance?

remember my crazy math teacher who thinks he's stretch armstrong? well this man is at it again... today he referred to points on a graph as "harold and bob." when the grinning kaley asked our teacher, "what is the technical term for those points?" he responded with, "harold and bob is the technical term because it has no real name. i just made that up." then another kid shouted from the back, "what does the book call those points?" the teacher said, "the book never mentions them." okay, great. so not only is our teacher making up names for points on the graph, he is naming them after adult males. i don't know why i said adult. i just can't imagine a little baby harold running around.

i checked out a book from the beautiful harold b. lee library on campus. the book was called emptying beds and was about an anthropologist's 2 year experience in an emergency psych ward. i took notes throughout my 300 page reading of the book... in pen. i wasn't really thinking it would be an issue. i've checked out plenty of books with pen markings and highlighted paragraphs so i thought i would be fine. well i thought wrong. i returned the book on tuesday and guess who gets an email from the librarian the next day? me.

the email stated that there was damage to the book that couldn't be repaired and is therefore unable to be used by any future readers. okay, that's a little extreme. are there pen markings? yes. did i drop the book in the fireplace and try to return its charred remains? no. bottom line: i need to pay $14. this is an injustice!

kaley and i went to the malt shoppe a couple nights ago. this is a diner-type place that serve THE most amazing milkshakes ever created. so we drive-thru and the guy at the window was flirting hardcore. i'm talking giddy, smiling and staring into my eyes like there was no tomorrow. i was paranoid he was going to jump me. i was literally flinching when he opened the window to hand me the shakes. i handed him the debit card and he grabbed my entire hand and said, "perrrrrfect." i doubt i will ever go back there. provo is a rough town as it is. you gotta fight!

boys i am crushing on at the moment: FOUR. i would release names but that just wouldn't be fair... love is a battlefield.

Ok, to be honest I thought it was you, and then I after reading it I realized it wasn't. I don't know if I like knowing that two people look that simiilar when they aren't twins. Things to make you go hmmmm...
I'm so excited that you have made that decision. My blog can't understates my deeper feeling for that time in my life. You have a 1 1/2 years to serve and the rest of you life to think about it. Serve well, and let me know if you have any questions or want any hints (I have some good ones up my sleeves) love you!

Couldn't you tell the angry librarian that the book was like that when you checked it out? Also, malt shoppe boy needs to STEP OFF and leave my Whitty ALONE!! What a perve. Kind of like blue tie when he grabbed your arm after your date, eh? Dude needs help.
