ok this isn't from the weekend.

i need to post this picture.

because this is when i went and say i am number four.

i will probably devote a whole post to this movie when i get a chance.

but i love these girls!

last night...pond skimming.

ya i didn't know what it was either.

youtube it...or google it.

max was competing and dressed up as mario.

we sported the staches to support him.

and joel made a bomb sign.

yes joel calls him maxipad.

i call him maxilicious.

i think mine's better.

before he went in...nice and dry.

afterwards he was soaking and shivering.

then we went to the black and yellow party.

obviously i dressed as ke$ha.

"the road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination."

- don williams jr.

this is one of my favorite quotes ever! and isn't the picture precious? but this quote definitely makes sense to me. this is something that i have learned in my terribly long life of twenty years (note the sarcasm). but really. everything in my life that has been worth learning and living for has been something i've gained from a journey. the goal is always important, but make sure that you let yourself enjoy the journey. not all journey's are pleasant. absolutely not. but if you can find one thing to be grateful for, feel grateful for the experience those painful journeys give you. the things that we learn the hardest ways will be the lessons we will never forget.

dear world,

2011-02-19T11:27:00.000-08:00

the last couple weeks have been interesting.

first i got to take pictures of some of my favorite guys in the world.

and of course being the clumsy fool i am...

i fell on barbed wire.

i have a serious talent for idiotic things like this.

i understand this is a super unattractive picture.

that's kind of the point folks.

but i'm also super domestic and make food.

like homemade rolls and chicken rice soup.

so delicious.

i also made homemade enchilada soup.

but i'm challenged and forgot to take a picture.

i also made this super attractive necklace...out of a shirt.

learned it from this lovely lady (who has the cutest blog)

i believe in unicorns too.

you can find the tutorial here.

i'm making another necklace this weekend.

i hope you are all having a fabulous long weekend!

i'm home for the weekend.

nice to get out of rexburg. :D

dear stupid girls,

2011-02-14T16:08:00.001-08:00

-who wear heels.

on campus.

in the winter.

when you fall, i laugh and don't even feel bad about it.

dear v-day,

2011-02-13T19:07:00.001-08:00

i don't really like you that much.

which is weird.

i'm obssessed with love so you think i would.

but i don't.

love me through it.

but i thought this was precious.

so in honor of v-day....

dear future house,

on every wall. please and thank you.

dear guys,

2011-02-03T15:44:00.001-08:00

just some advice to members of the male community.

i don't know a single girl who wouldn't like to receive flowers.

it's super romantic.

always.

dear love,

2011-02-02T16:16:00.001-08:00

i still believe in you, even when others have given up.

i made a promise to myself

locked it way deep down inside

told my heart we'd wait it out

swore we'd never compromise

i'd rather be alone

like i am tonight

then settle for the kind of love

that fades in the morning light

i believe in love

a love that's real

a love that's strong

love that lives on and on

yes i believe in love

dear rexburg,

2011-02-02T10:28:00.001-08:00

why am i here?

this is what i saw when i woke up this morning.

yes. that would be a NEGATIVE double digit.

but really?

why am i not in a place that is sunny whilst holding a tropical drink in my hand.

wearing no shoes.

i feel like these are acceptable questions.

especially when i looked at my window and there was a sheet of ice.

on the INSIDE.

it is now noon and has warmed up to a nice toasty negative 8 degrees.
and don't worry.
i looked real attractive with my fluffly earmuffs over my hood today.
people want to be my friend when they saw how ridiculous i looked.

dear future husband,

2011-01-29T08:00:00.000-08:00

dancing in the rain is romantic.

always.

dear alex pettyfer,

2011-01-21T08:30:00.000-08:00

i have decided to start doing what i will call 'fobo (fake boyfriend) friday'. and you, my dear alex, have become the first. i first saw him in Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker, and i fell in love. isn't he a beautiful? just look at that jaw line. i die.

does anyone else think that he would make the perfect Jace from the mortal instruments series? and according to this article, it will hopefully be happening.

do we know that marki loves her some guys in glasses?

so what do you all think is he worthy of fobo status? (not that i'm ever changing my mind...)

dear burlesque,

2011-01-20T08:09:00.000-08:00

you did me good.

and i obviously want CA's voice and body.

ridiculous.

one of the sexiest movies i've ever seen.

andrea likes to take pictures upside down.

cuz she's a straight up g.

and i'm challenged...

but we'll just look past that.

dear courtney,

2011-01-20T07:20:00.000-08:00

you came to visit the burg. cuz you missed it. but not really. just the people.

here are the pics my dear.

courtney is lovely.

all five reunited again.

we're real special.

dear readers,

2011-01-19T12:56:00.000-08:00

currently i am :

obssessed with this song by joshua james
in love with this wedding
addicted to the tv show Roswell
dying for Bones to come back on!!
embarassed that they made one of the most amazing books ever into one of the stupidest movies ever
deciding to do this. always.
excited about getting healthy

sometimes you just have to...

2010-10-05T19:17:00.001-07:00

believe in what your heart is saying

hear the melody that is playing

there's no time to waste

there's so much to celebrate

believe in what you feel inside

and give your dreams wings to fly

you have everything you need

if you just believe.

believe: josh groban

vacation: had to get away.

2010-08-23T21:22:00.000-07:00

wish i could be at this wonderful place, instead of getting ready to go back to school in a week.

d-land. how i miss you!

inspired? ya me too.

2010-08-22T17:35:00.000-07:00

this man is so inspiring. i found this video through good old fb. someone had posted it on another friend's wall, and being the fb stalker that i am, watched it. how can you watch this and not want to be a better person. this man has lost so much and you can tell he loves life all the more becuaase of it. i think we could all do better at being a little bit more like this man.

trust:

2010-08-15T22:58:00.000-07:00

-noun

a person on whom or a thing on which one relies.

trust. something i need to learn.

but i don't know how.

maybe i should just jump and

hope you'll be there to catch me.

when besties visit (part 2)

2010-06-13T17:04:00.001-07:00

yesterday sarahmaines says to me "umm, marki, you're blog post title is when BESTIES visit. as in plural." but i would just like to say that clearly corey and i are besties. you know since i've known him for so long. sarah's just jealous.

so after coming home from the sand dunes sarah and i watched Sweet Home Alabama. a fav of both of ours. then we took a much needed nap. we were both about to pass out. then we went to dinner at craigo's. which for all of you lovely people here in idaho, if you have never been. get yourself there asap. it's the best pizza/pasta/salad buffet place to EVER exist. yummm.

then we went back to my apartment and went hot tubbing. i haven't been hot tubbing in so long. and it was fabulous! then we went and saw iron man 2.

dude. listen. if you have not seen this. do it now. so good!! and i am currently obsessed with the song highway to hell. then on saturday we slept in! yay! and we woke up just in time to watch the world cup.

and while sarahmaines supported USA i supported England. mainly because i wish i was english. and also because clearly they had a better team. but we won't talk about the goal that green let in. and also because i just like being contrary.

then we went and exercised for an hour. funn!!! i did the eliptical which is like an endless case of stairs...but in a fun and good way. and sarah did the treadmill. then we got all cutesy and went to the rexburg temple grounds. beauty in it's finest.

than that night we went shopping and sarahmaines got an awesome snake ring! and i got a cute shirt. then we went to a dance party. which reminded us of high school. cool. then we were up allll night. i don't remember what it's like to sleep. then this morning she left. :'( sad day. but it's cool because i get to see her in 4 days for our bff's wedding!

when besties visit (part 1)

2010-06-11T14:18:00.000-07:00

once upon a time sarahmaines my bff came up to idaho to visit me!

i heart this women!

today after my shakespeare class i went down to the bookstore and corey, sarah and i played! we went to the park and played on the swings. i heart swings. and of course corey knew about a 'secret box' underneath the park bench. so he and sarah looked for it.

then we went out to the sand dunes! so fun!

some little kids came and were looking for lizards so corey helped them

we're pretty much gonna have the best weekend ever! more to come!

hi. remember me?

2010-06-08T13:09:00.000-07:00

remember that one time when i used to blog allll the time? well i am back. hopefully. ha.

well here are some little gems that you will LOVE! probably. i love them.

letters and lights. they are kind of awesome! they're an indie pop band from seattle washington. fav songs: is smile bright and pretty letdown.

we is he. i love her voice. so fun and light. another indie band. i really like indie. fav songs: light a way and happily ever after.

FAIR. they're background makes me laugh. i feel like i would totally be friends with them if i met them. fav song: walking in my sleep

ruth. this is my fav.o.rite. of all! i am in LOVE LOVE LOVE with the lead singer's vioce. i would marry it. i don't have a fav song. they're alllll amazazazing!

i wanna know what love is

2010-05-15T14:08:00.000-07:00

i love movie quotes. the end. here are some of my favs on love.

it takes two:

dianne burrows: it's gotta be that can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, world series kind of stuff.

juno:

juno: i think i'm love with you

bleeker: you mean as friends?

juno: no i mean...for real. cause you're like the coolest person i've ever met, and you don't even have to try you know...

bleeker: i try really hard actually.

the notebook:

noah: if you're a bird, i'm a bird.

ever after:

leonardo: i know that a life without love is not life at all

jenna face is 18. weird.

2010-05-11T12:48:00.000-07:00

so my little sister is 18. yes jenna face. the girl i still picture as a 15 year old in my head...is like an adult or something. but she's pretty much the coolest 18 year old sister ever.

she's like on of my BFFEEEEs. that stands for best friends forever and ever and ever and ever and ever. that's a long time.

she is super beautiful. like really. if she wasn't my sister i'd probs hate her for sure. but she is so therefore i heart her tiny little butt.

she's crazy. like maybe certifiably insane. but it's kind of great. because so am i. remember that one time we are gonna be roommies? i think we're going to scare our other roommates. yesss. which will be great times multiplied by infinity.

she's an amazzzzing artist. i covet her atistic ability. but not covet in a way that would make me go to the hott place. just like it's really awesome. because when she's famous i'll be able to be like "oh what Jenna Thompson? oh yeah i'm her sister." word. the following pic is her version of what edward should have looked like. because robert pattinson is ugly. that is all. end of story.

she's pretty much just like me. except sometimes she makes me look more normal than i am. but only on very rare occasions. so here's to you my loverly snister. you're 18 now. which actually doesn't mean anything. not really. it just sounds cooler than 17. happy birthday!

wish, baby, wish

2010-05-05T19:48:00.000-07:00

could we pretend that airplanes

in the night sky

are like shooting stars

2. joshua gordon levitt. he's just kind of a little bit way freaking adorable.

3. heath ledger. remember when he died? i cried.

4. nick zano. he's beautimous. he has an amazing jaw line. therefore amazingess.

2010-03-31T16:52:00.000-07:00

once upon a time i loved books. it may or may not be an obsession. but let's not make assumptions. but really i love books. it's not enough for me to merely borrow a book i must own it. i LOVE owning books. i don't think that there's much out in this world that is better than that. i love reading books over and over again. so here are some little gems i love right now.

author: Cassandra Clare

books: The Mortal Instruments

these books are fabulous. clare is a fabulous writer. she spins a world that merges the familiar with the magical. a definite must read for lovers of fantasy. the series consists of three books;

The City of Bones

The City of Ashes

The City of Glass

this series follow a young girl, clary, who suddenly is able to see a world she never knew existed, one she's not sure if she wants anything to do with. but when clary's mother is kidnapped the only hope of ever seeing her again is to team up with the people of this new world.

let's fall in love

2010-03-30T13:43:00.001-07:00

"i do not care what car you drive. where you live. if you know someone who knows someone who knows someone. if your clothes are this years cutting edge. if your trust fund is unlimited. if you are A-list or B-list or never heard of you list. i only care about the words that flutter from your mind. they are the only thing you truly own. the only thing i will remember you by. i will not fall in love with your bones and skin. i will not fall in love with the places you've been. i will not fall in love with anything but the words that flutter from your extraordinary mind."

i can't wait to see you again

2010-03-20T23:02:00.000-07:00

i am suddenly homesick.

homesick for Rexburg.

this beautiful town where i go to school. i go back in a month and i can't wait! i am so very anxious both in good ways and in not good ways. last semester was not great for me and i didn't really think i would have a desire to go back.

but i do.

My Colorful Life

2010-03-16T23:20:00.000-07:00

i have a new title of my blog: The Colors of My Life.

my post before this one, the one about things that make me happy, made me realize how much COLOR i have in my life. there are so many things that make my life great. things that make my life different and unique and special.

so my new....vision....i guess you could say, for this blog is to highlight all the happy and colorful moments of my life. not all colorful moments in life are great. at least not at first. i believe that things happen for a reason. they're there to teach us something. to help us grow into people who can better this world.

this blog will be happy + funny + sarcastic + sad + cheerful + full of hope = the colors of my life.

HAPPIER THAN A BIRD WITH A FRENCH FRY

2010-03-15T08:45:00.000-07:00

Love Is A Sweet Thing

2010-01-30T00:21:00.000-08:00

It's everywhere you look,

If you look hard enough.

It's really not that hard to see.

Yeah, once you put your arms around it,

You can never get too much

Love is a sweet, sweet thing.

Love is a sweet thing.

It's in the smile of stranger,

In the eyes of a child,

On the corner of a crowded street.

It's everywhere around us,

It's always growing wild

Love is a sweet, sweet thing.

Ewan McGregor

2010-01-26T08:41:00.001-08:00

Recently I saw the movie Down With Love for the first time. I was VERY excited to watch it because it has Ewan McGregor in it. The first movie I ever saw with Ewan was Moulin Rouge. That's when I fell in love! Before than I had never really thought that he was very attractive. And honestly I still don't think he is. Except when he acts. He is sooo riveting and enchanting when he acts. Every time I watch a film with him in it I can't get over how amazing he is and when I watch him act I do think he's attractive! I also recently saw Angels and Demons, in which he plays (SPOILER!!!) the villian. And I really thought that he played his character fabulously! I kind of suspected all along that he was the villian, just because I got a total creeper vibe from him but at the same time I just couldn't decide. He's just such an amazing actor! So here's to you Ewan!

Come On

2010-01-24T23:54:00.000-08:00

Everywhere I look I see your smilin' face

Every song I sing I sing in hopes you're listening

When the tables turned I learned from my mistakes

I'm only human he left you oh oh aren't we all

Don't walk away don't say goodbye

Don't leave me here like the other time

Don't walk away no not tonight

Everywhere I look I see the passing days

Every song you hear I fear that you're not listenin'

When the tables turn we learn from our mistakes

I'm only human he left you oh oh aren't we all

Don't walk away don't say good bye

Don't leave me here no not tonight

Don't walk away like the other time

I just wanna be the hand you hold when you're cryin'

I just wanna be the voice that tells you it'll be alright and

When your world is coming down and helps nowhere to be find

Well I'll be here,

Well I'll be here,

Well I'll be here.

Best Friends Forever <3

2009-12-27T15:36:00.001-08:00

I want to blog about someone so special to me.

My best friend ever :)

She's beautiful and so very talented.

She's always there for me.

She has lifted me up when I am down.

She has given me strength when I needed it most.

One of my favorite things about our friendship is that we can talk and talk and talk.

We never run out of things to say to each other.

We can hang out all day and still talk on the phone all night long! :D

So here's to you:

Sarah Maines

You walked with me

Footprints in the sand

And helped me understand

Where I’m going

You walked with me

When I was all alone

With so much I no along the way

Then I heard you say

I promise you

I’m always there

When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair

I’ll carry you

When you need a friend

You’ll find my footprints in the sand

FAME

2009-09-28T11:51:00.000-07:00

So over the weekend a new movie came out. FAME! I went and saw it and it was just amazing! I absolutely loved it! I don't want to give anything away so I won't say much. I will say that it wasn't really what i expected though. It wasn't at all like all the other typical dance and music movies out there.

They have a great cast for the movie. One of my favorite characters was a guy named Marco who is played by Asher Book. His voice is phenominal. Here's a little taste! ;)

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Lessons in Life

2009-08-18T16:20:00.000-07:00

So I recently learned a new life lesson!

The other night a group of my friends decided to play soccer in the church gym. I was wearing sandals so I just decided to play barefoot. I didn't anticipate how competitive the group of friends I was playing with would get, so I figured I in turn wouldn't get too aggressive. This was a huge mistake on my part. Maybe I was just being oblivious to everyone else but I really got into the game and soon I was hurt.

I honestly don't remember what happened. I just know that all of a sudden my big toe on my left foot was throbbing in pain. Even though I could barely walk, let alone RUN, I continued to play. You may ask why, and to be honest I ask myself that same exact question. But not paying attention to the utter stupidity of the decision, I continued playing until I accidently kicked the ball with my left foot out of pure reflex.

Stupid oh how very stupid I was!

My big toe is broken or sprained or jammed or something. I have to go to the doctors to find out, but I'm sure it's not good, considering the fact that I can barely walk and it's an ugly blue color.

As I sat out and watched the rest of the game I talked to my friend Brian who had recently broken a rib playing soccer. He told me that it was my own fault for playing soccer without shoes on. He then continued with asking me "And what have you learned from this?"

I responded with a humble "Not to play soccer without shoes."

"That's right," Brian said. He then continued with, "I've learned in my life the stupider decisions someone makes the unluckier they get."

I didn't need his pointed look at my mangled toe to know that he was talking about my decision to play soccer without shoes.

Needless to say that never again will I play soccer without shoes. But what Brian said has stuck with me. It's so very true that in life we all make stupid decisions that leave us with unlucky results. If we want to lead a luckier life than maybe we should start making smarter decisions!
