Lady...WHAT THE?!?!

so i look pretty gross today so no vlog :( plus it'd be pretty hard for me to explain this blog without using pics and whatnot. let me just jump into it then...

i'll admit that i occasionally find myself humming "Pokerface" or "LoveGame" by Lady Gaga and i've never really payed attention to see what she was all about...until i watched the 2009 MTV VMA's last week. i have nothing against Lady Gaga besides the fact that i think she is a psycho.

DOES ANYBODY ELSE CONSIDER THIS ANIMAL CRUELTY?? POOR KERMIT.

LADY GAGA??? MORE LIKE LADY CA-CAW!!!

REALLY...? SHE LOOKS LIKE A USED TAMPON!! IT'S DISTURBING!!

OH WAIT...THAT'S RIGHT! SHE REALLY WAS ON HER PERIOD THAT NIGHT!!

Entering the Era of Vlogging!!!

I Miss Kazhia!

So I wrote a song for Kazhia the other day because i've been missing her like crazy ever since she left for BYU and i was bored last night so i turned the song into a kind of music video if you will. Here is the song I wrote for her.





And here is a bonus featture! This is Kazhia the bear singing a Backstreet Boys song of course because that's Kazhia's fav! And there is a guest appearance by me at the end. Kazhia the bear and I collaborated so well in this vid.

Update!!

SO it's been quite a while since i've updated my blog! i haven't posted at ALL this school year so i guess i'll share a few things that've been going on in my life (no gaurantees it'll be interesting)...

I'M A JUNIOR!!! and loving it! this year is starting out to be a great one. probably my favorite year in high school so far although i think my senior year will be even greater! my teachers are amazing! except my math teacher (she's a sweetheart and i've known her since elementary school. she lived across the street from me and she's lds) but she is just so dang BORING! i mean, math is a boring subject to begin with but she just takes it to this whole other level or boredom i didn't think was possible!!

ANYWAY, i'm in AP Spanish this year and still wondering what i'm doing to myself. i used to think this was what i wanted- to become fluent! but now i'm not so sure anymore. writing is my passion (wow. i just sounded like a dork) but honestly, if there was one thing i wish i could do for the rest of my life or make into a career, it would be writing. ESPECIALLY FOR A TV SHOW! but those are just lofty dreams of mine. moving to LA and going to film school would be awfully scary.

Kazhia and Nikki have left me for college! those ol' geezers! but let me tell ya, BYU and NAU just got a whole heck of a lot crazier with those two in attendance! ;) i miss them like crazy, but from the sounds of it they're having a blast! which makes me excited for college!

SEMINARY is CRAZY...as usual. today we had a pool noodle fight. i swear bro. goss promotes violence sometimes! it was so much fun!...............hobo kicked my butt.....BUT WHATEVER!

LAST night was the first home girls volleyball game in which they lost...surprised? HAH! as if. i'll admit that watching the game made me miss playing quite a bit and a lot of people have been asking if i'll end up playing next year and i honestly don't know. i mean, i totally miss it but i don't want to go out on that court if i can't play to my fullest. i don't want to have to use the excuse "oh sorry coach. couldn't dive for that ball! tough break! you know me... got rods in the back."...lame! and embarrasing! plus i know that if i do play again that i'll be so "in the zone" i'll forget that i still have certain limitations and i'm afraid that i'll hurt myself. i guess the key word to why i'm hesitating to play v-ball again is
"fear"
i'm afraid

WHOOHOO FOR FRIDAYS THOUGH!!! gina and i have made it a tradition that every friday i go over to her house and we watch Psych...of course. we set aside a whole night for tv. you know me! hahaha. and she just got DVR which is probably the most prized possesion any tv fanatic could have! talk about me being jealous! Psych doesn't come back for another week (dang haitus'!) so tonight we are watching a sneak peek of the first 25 minutes of the second episode of Glee that we bought on dvd from Wal-mart for $5!!! We're crazy!

~MUSIC~
my blogs would never be complete without my rant about what i'm listening too! so...

Family Force Five (Love Addict is a BOMB song to listen to and dance around like a spas) they're coming to AZ soon and i think Gina and i might go to the concert.

Grace Potter and The Nocturnals (Appologies is one of my favorite songs from her!)

Jack Johnson (I can't stop listening to Banana Pancakes! i love waking up to that song in the morning)

Adele (It finally rained last night so i was allowed to listen to Hometown Glory! i seriously wouldn't listen to that song any other way. only when it's raining! i immediatly ran to my room, opened up my window, and turned that song up on my ipod dock. perfect night.)

Trespassers William (Lie in the Sound is such a sad song, but i realized that the majority of songs in my itunes library are sad songs! i'm such a loner. hahaha)
