Night of Cosmo

It was Friday, January 27th.

We originally wanted to go to the Sundance Festival, sleep in Madi's car, freeze our butts off, and drive home in the morning.

Do original plans ever work?

Not ususally. Just saying.

Taylor had tickets to the gymnastics meet at the University of Utah. We settled for that. Cadee, Madi, and I went to Taylor's around five thirty. She had made sloppy joes and cookies for us. What a sweetie! We ate and talked about all of this drama going on with drill and dance co.

Then, we left for the meet. We did get lost, of course. Cadee called Mason and he somewhat directed us there. Then we just asked a sweet old man and he helped us. The gymnasts were amazing! It was so entertaining to watch them, I must say. We had fun. Cadee got to talk to good ol' Mason, too. So that was a plus, for her. It was fun.



On the way home we were forced to jam to country music (Cadee and Taylor's idea). I wasn't really for it. But, who am I to decide the station when I am planted in the backseat.

When we got back to the valley we decided to stop at Chickfila. After deciding it wasn't worth it, we went to McDonald's. By that time, Natalie was off work and met us there. We sat in our original booth.

Cadee had been talking about dying her hair all night. After some convincing, we went to Walmart. After standing on the hair-dye aisle for probably thirty minutes. They decided on a color. Natalie, too, decided to have Taylor do her hair.

We got to Tay's. She started on Cadet's hair. Cadee was freaking out about getting her hair done. Like, literally. It was hilarious. Natalie let us in on a deep secret of hers. It was a hard moment. We both cried. Stuff from the past was brought up and I felt guilty.

Cadee's hair turned out so cute! It is a rich brunette color. She is still considering cutting it, too. Taylor started on Natalie's after that. We were all getting tired. I started acting weird.

All night, I kept thinking of things to tweet. But, I don't have a twitter. So, I created one. Simply. While I was doing that, I made Natalie one. They all made fun of me for correcting Natalie's grammar errors on FB.

Natalie's hair was done being dyed. She combed it out for a whole twenty minutes as Taylor lay on the couch. Once she was done, Tay was asleep. Madi and Cadee were already out by that time. Natalie and I decided to just go to bed and let Tay cut Natalie's hair later. While we were about to lie down, Tay woke up and thought she was going to cut Natalie's hair. It was pretty funny.


It was a fun night.

Date Night

So Saturday, I was just working away at Chickfila.

Then, I see Maddy and Linsey. I thought they were just coming to get some food. Then, they proceeded with "would you mind if we set you up on a date?" I laughed and wondered who this being could possibly be. It was Jared Hancock. I agreed, because, what the heck!

I got off work around four and ate some food. When I got home I just sat there and did some good ol' facebooking . That was productive. Then, Shalai text me telling me the details and that I needed to text Jared. He already knew that we were going, but, I needed to text him anyway. Turns out, it was the girls asking the guys. Of course! haha.

So, I got ready ever so quickly, getting rid of the breaded chicken stench. I went to meet at Shalai's house around 5:30. However, when I got there it seemed to be that no one was there. (I didn't really think to ring the doorbell, I just knocked.) Maddy and Linsey showed up and they were smart. Shalai came over her speaker and we were through the front door in a matter of seconds. Maddy had gotten pizza. Shalai just finished getting ready and then we left.

Maddy and Linsey drove together and Shalai drove with me. We went and picked up the guys. When we got to Jared's house, they weren't there because Mike had to go get another jacket. haha. They finally got there and we went back to Shalai's. When we got there, we had the guys wait upstairs as we got the food ready. Then, we hid in the closet at the bottom of the stairs. When they came down, we "attempted" to jump out and scare them. But, when we jumped out, they were at the top and were no where near frightened. It was hilarious.

We all sat down to our pizza. We had one whole paper towel to split between all of us. We got our own little triangles of napkin. It was a funny little dinner.

The boys were curious as to what we were doing next. We let them guess about twenty-eight times and they didn't guess it. When we went upstairs, Shalai's mom blurted it out on accident. Jared was the only one that heard, but didn't believe that we would really go.

After that, we drove to Nickelcade. They were very excited when we got there, to say the least. When we got there, we split off with our dates to have our little competition. It was fun. We lost. Jared and I got a total of thirty-four tickets; that is all. We got a whole eleven fruities and a spider ring with our tickets.

YAY.

After playing a number of games and being at Nickelcade for a couple of hours, we left. We drove home while Shalai put her pixie stick in our hair and made us do "fun facts". When we got out of the car, everyone wanted to do "fun facts".

We decided to play some Catch Phrase. Mike and Jared insisted on breathing down my neck as it was my turn to go. They messed me up several times. Austin and I were the worst at the game, I guess. Well that's what they all said. WHATEVER. haha.

Everyone began to get bored, so we looked for another game. We tried to play some weird mars game. That was just weird and inappropriate. Everyone just kind of wandered for a while. Then, we had to do some talking in the room. The boys were all lying on the ground in various places when we came out. It was very odd. Then, we decided to watch White Chicks. That movie was hilarious. I had never watched it before. It was late and everyone needed to go home when the movie was over.

Shalai and I went to drop our boys off. We freaked out after dropping them off because of certain reasons that I will not state, just in the safety of my being.

ha. Well I dropped her off after that.

It was a great night!

Dancing, Dancing, and More Dancing

Lately, I have been very busy with dance company. We started our concert practices after Christmas break. I love it, though. So far, I have learned four dances and I love them all. I still have five more to learn.

Anyway, this past week, we had mini clinics. I was with Shalai, Natalie, Joanna, Chelsea, and Lauren. We were in charge of the sixth to eighth graders. I wasn't too excited for that group because it is the pre-teen and just barely teen years. However, they were way fun to work with. They danced to a Janet Jackson song. All of the groups had an eighties theme to go along with our eighties hip hop dance.

The practices were on Tuesday, January 17th, and Wednesday, January 18th. Then, we performed at the basketball halftime on the 20th.

The performance went great! All of the mini clinic girls did awesome. Dance Company performed after all of them. It was one of the funnest performances yet. There were SO many people there.

We have performed our 80's-themed hip-hop dance several times now. It has been an exciting routine. I love it! We still have one more time to perform it, too.


We wore ugly sweaters the day of one of our halftime performances. 

After the game I did some chatting with my family and drank my lovely naked drink that my secret sister gave me. So good, btw. Then, I wanted some food. So, Natalie and I drove to Chickfila and met Madi there. She had been working. I ate and also got a delicious shake with cherry juice in it (my new-found love.) Natalie informed me of two secret loves she has. One is L_ _ _ _ _ H_ _ _ _ _ _ and the other is M_ _ _ P_ _ _ _ _. I had to guess them and it took me literally all night. Well, not really. But still. Boy, was I surprised. It was quite funny.

When we were done, we went to Jessica Turley's house to play Just Dance and hang out. It was so fun! Natalie and Madi stared at the butts, which they are obsessed with.

Then we took some timer pictures.

Be funny with someone, guys. 

Be solemn with someone, guys. 

Be solemn, guys 

Anyway, it was a fun night!

Madi slept at my house because her parents wanted a night alone at the house...

Car Funds

Today I made a bank. I got a pickle jar and colored on it.

But, as you know, I do have a shopping addiction.

Which means, I had to hot glue it shut in order to not break it open in "time of need".

I need a car. My parents and grandpa promised that they will help me buy a car
only if I save up money, too.

To a shopping addict, or any addict, that can sound really impractical.

But, with a good ol' hot glue gun, it may be possible.

We'll see how this goes.

TTFN.

Sincerely, a very blithe and hopeful sprout.

Supernatural Friends

I have something to tell you.

My friends - they have super powers.

Psych.

They really don't. However, we like to watch Supernatural. That kind of makes us think we have super powers.

I have no idea what I'm even saying. On with my story...

On this beautiful, very beautiful, four day weekend of ours, we have had some fun. Thursday, the 12th of January was our last day of school. Well, just our last day for a four day break. But still. I had work that night, so I took a nap to prepare myself only to find that when I woke up, my shift had been cancelled. So stupid.

BUT, It was okay; I went back to sleep. What else would I do. When I woke up, I had texts from Taylor H. and Brooke. They wanted to know what the plans were. I proceeded to tell them that I would text them when I got off work. Yes, I was going crazy because remember, my shift had been cancelled. Also, it was like eight at night. Anyway, after realizing my stupidity, I humored them. Then, I picked Taylor up and Brooke met us at Chickfila.

We all got some food and just sat and talked while we waited for Madi to get off of work. She got off at about nine luckily, and Natalie met us there as well. Then, we were off to a night of Supernatural.

When we got to Madi's, the tv was in use, so we all cuddled up on Madi's bed and watched PLL for about an hour.

Finally the theater room was ready for us and we were ready for it. We all got settled and started Supernatural. It is a tv series, BTW. Brooke owns every season. Then, the volume needed turned up and no one would get up. Finally Madi did, but when she did, she left the door opened. Suddenly, it started to creepily open and we all freaked out of course. It was so scary. We watched about five shows. Natalie was the only one who stayed up to watch all of those. The rest of us were in and out, seeing only parts of each one. Finally, at about five, we crashed in Madi's room.

Those shows are so creeeeepy.

The next morning we woke up and went to Village Inn. It was a delightful meal. Brooke left after eating. Then, the four of us went and sat in Natalie's drive way thinking of what to do next. We sat there for a good hour. I was getting hot and kept opening the door and they would all yell at me.

Finally, we decided to go shopping. Taylor had to go home, so it was just the three of us left. We went to Fashion Place. We did not get ready and looked like complete scum bags. It was okay though. I just wanted to go to H&M. I got three shirts, a blazer, and a dress. The other two didn't get anything. Natalie said she couldn't shop when she felt gross. I still managed to. While shopping, I saw a man, whose name I will not say. I looked so gross. It was terrible. I just wanted to crawl in a pit and eat some pizza. He has a girl friend though, so why do I even care? Who knows. We'll leave that up to Beavus. Anyway, when he was gone, I ran away. We left the mall shortly. Then, went to Valley Fair. Madi got some shoes at Famous Footwear. Then, we all got large dipped cones and Dairy Queen. I was supposed to work that night, but again, they called and cancelled my shift.

Since my shift was cancelled, I went with Madi to babysit her cousins. There were two boys and one girl. The little girl was adorable. I was wearing my dance company sweats with a paw on the back. She was like, "Kenzie, do you have a clue on your pants?" Like from Blues Clues. Haha I laughed for a good five minutes when I realized what she was saying. Also, I put marbles down her shirt. She kept scratching her butt all night. When we changed her diaper we found that one of them was in there. That explains why she hated me after I had put them down her shirt. It was so funny. She cracked a lot of jokes. Natalie came later. We all played with the kids. They got crazy and Madi ran around with a blanket and an accent, yelling at them, telling them that they were in a safari. I guess she was trying to make wind? who knows. She is so odd sometimes. The kids literally beat us up.

Finally, the parents got home and we left. Natalie went home. Madi and I went to hang out with Thomas. We went to Smith's and got some treats and then just went and pretty much talked until he had to leave.

I slept at Madi's again. The next morning, I went home and cleaned my room and then went to work at five. That was very enjoyable. haaa.

After work, I watched a movie with my mother. It was "I don't know how she does it". It was good, except for I didn't finish it, and I have no idea how it ended.

Then, this morning, I went to Jordan's homecoming. It was a good sacrament. We had good food after. It was all food that he had made in the Philippines. Very good!

Then, Natalie, Madi, and I talked about our senior trip. I came home and organized my room and slept.

Oh, and I finally got some personal progress done tonight. Good thing, since I will be an adult in like fifty days. Yikes. No.

Well that was my weekend.




Bye, blog.

It Was Pretty Much a Flash Mob

Dance Company was approached by Kathy (Cadee's mother). She was over a huge event that her work was putting on. They had an idea to get all of the high up people of the CR England company singing on stage to Life is a Highway, but, with their own lyrics. She wanted us to dance in between the tables while they put on their show. So, they "hired" us. Well, technically not since we are underage. We had to go through an audition process with Kelley. Twelve people were going to be picked. I made it! Then we had about three practices to prepare. The song was hideous with their high-pitched voices. But, hilarious, I must say.

Welp, the day came. It was Thursday, January 12th. We drove to the Grand America very speedily because we were late, of course. When we got there, we ran in the building. The Grand America was beautiful. Once we found where the event was taking place, we dropped our bags and went to rehearse. We realized how close the tables were and freaked out just a little.

After practicing for quite some time, we went and waited for it to start. We just sat in an event room and talked about numerous things. Boys, kissing, etc, etc.. It was fun. Finally, it was time that we could eat breakfast. There was a whole plethora of fruit and croissants. It was delightful! Everyone had several servings and we pretty much wiped them out of the food.
It was time to perform and we were ready. After putting on our bright red lipstick to make us look somewhat older, we lined up. The music began, and we casually walked out to where all of the people were sitting. The place was packed. How on earth were we supposed to dance in between the tables. Ridiculous thought. We were pretending to just be waitresses, watching the performances. Then, surprise, we started dancing. Once I got to my spot, I came to the realization that I was pretty much dancing on top of the people around me. After wacking people in the head, kicking peoples' legs, and stepping on their toes, the dance came to and end and we snapped our way out of there. Oh, and not forgetting to pass out the "higher road" guitar picks.

What a fun experience. Not to mention, but, we also go paid. Way exciting! Once it was over, we rushed back to the school in our outfits and I had a math final to take.

Blogging

Blogging. It seemed exemplar at the moment since I had some brief seconds to spare on that oh-so-fast ticking clock of mine. It's like it never stops ticking.

BUT since blogging is my best friend, I must give it some attention. Like seriously, it might replace me with a new blogger or something. That is the utter most terrifying thought.

you never know; trust me.

So anyway, I'm on here, with nothing in particular to write. It's almost like I had this awe-inspiring idea to write on my blog, for again, no reason. However, when I get on here, my mind is blank and I end up typing endless letters of pretty much nothing.

I wish I could be a columnist so that I could have something to write about. Until then, I'll continue writing about time, school, feety pajamas, lawn gnomes, shopping addictions, friends, and pretty much anything & everything.

I know, I'm boring you to death.

Wait, who are you that is actually reading this?

Anyway, life kind of feels inelegant at the moment. I can't get over it.

Don't you just sometimes wish that you could get in another person and be them for like a day or so. I do.

Well, I'm done with my "waller in self-pity" session.

Bye, blog.

I'll probably be back tomorrow, knowing I'll probably feel the exact same way.

TTFN.

sincerely, a very outlandish-feeling adolescent.
