Pop it, lock it, polka-dot it!

I finally saw The Hannah Montana movie. Rose (the mom of one of my cheerleader's and a good friend) and I had made a date to see the movie opening weekend-ish. Though, when it came out I was rafting.

So when I was in Utah on my way back Raylene tried to convince me to see the movie with her. Well, I was being loyal to Rose and didn't. But I really kinda regret it now because--guess who showed up at the theater.-- none other than Miley Cyrus.

Oi! There went my chance to get an in with Taylor. Sad ;(

That's alright. I'm still holding out Taylor will return my myspace message...

Update, part deux

So, I went to Paris for my spring break this year--yes, I know I'm not in school, but I still deserve a spring break. Donchathink? Iknowido.

Despite being quite apprehensive about going with my mom, it was actually a very pleasant trip. Though I never want to go anywhere with a person that doesn't know how to use a digital camera. It stressed me out to no end to not be able to get the few pictures of me that I wanted. While I am more than happy to take them all myself, my mom would get offended when I would not let her take my picture. (It never was my dream to goto Paris with my mom, but she'd never been out of the country, and the opportunity kinda just fell in my lap-- and WHO in the their right mind would turn down a free trip to Paris)

This little street was my mom's find. She liked to take a walk to a payphone and call home to talk to dad (and pay with her credit card, despite my advisement of buying a phone card... it was *quite* expensive) and she did a little exploring too. At least, once I made her memorize our metro stop, hostel name, and carry a flier--and her cell phone. Which was really hard to get her to do.


My emo-classic myspace/paris pic.


We did it! Climbed the stairs :)


This is Marc and Sara-- Sara was the reason we went to Paris to being with. Her little brother is doing an internship and she wanted to visit him.

Notre Dame-- I actually took about a hundred pictures inside Notre Dame (and outside) but not a single picture from inside comes close to accurately depicting it.



The "back side" of Notre Dame--and possible the side I prefer. Notice the park? How awesome would it be to take your kids to play in the park under Notre Dame on sundays.


The great thing about walking around Paris at night is the strobe around the top. You always have a point of reference. (well when you can see the tower at least)





A few pictures from the Louvre-- just some favorites.

My love. Venus.






Perhaps my favorite picture--though my mom could never not make it blurry. Nevermind the fact I did it on my first shot of her.

Update.

Amazingly, I am updating this silly thing.

While I find I actually do a good job of it when I am lonely and missing my friends. Well missing Kim mostly-- I do want to keep it updated in some sort. So I'm making this a fairly eclectic post bringing stuff up to speed.


First--in yet another copy of my sister, my life as mosaic:


1. Quintin Castle, 2. Mexican Hat, Utah, 3. The BYU cheerleaders, 4. The red one, 5. Taylor Swift's Tour Bus, 6. Japanese Dr. Pepper Manga Can, 7. GLI UCCELLI, 8. Gelato, World's Best Ice cream: The Real Reason that So Many People go to Italy. PS What is You Favorite Flavor?, 9. [ S u p e r m a n ], 10. learning to ride a bike , 11. "THE KISS" (on Election Night, Times Square, NYC), 12. Quindi...Multa

To make your own:
step 1: go to flickr.com
setp 2: in another window open http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/mosaic.php
step 3: choose 4 columns, 3 rows
step 4: answer the following questions in the search bar of flicker. pick your favorite one on the first page and paste it into your mosaic
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Favorite dessert?
9. What you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One word to describe you.
12. Your nickname.


Now the mosaic i think is cool--but some of the pictures that came up you would never guess from the word I used. And I was tired of looking for better words.


I also went to Paris-- I'll make another post with pics and whatnot later.
