Getting Around: March 2010
http://burstoforange.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Today I got to be a kid again. Emily and I went for a hike but ended up just wandering through the mountains nearby, taking advantage of the beautiful weather. We were making up little stories (or something like that) and finding animal tracks. Following their trails along the sides of the mountains. I felt like I did when I was little and would go 'exploring.'. An elderly missionary couple sits together as the wife rubs the husband's sore shoulders. They are on my same flight, and are now explaining...

BLOGTASTIC: A sordid assortment of synopses
http://marblesnme.blogspot.com/2010/03/sordid-assortment-of-synopses.html
March 30, 2010. A sordid assortment of synopses. Kay, so I have decided that one thing this blog needs more of is Twilight and its affiliates. More specifically to this blogpost: New Moon. I watched it for the second time last night (or night before last or . . . something . . . time sorta blends together when you avoid doing homework as fastidiously as I am wont to do . . .), and I will be watching it again on Saturday. No I don't. I've never used that word before. But should start. The parts that he is...

BLOGTASTIC: June 2009
http://marblesnme.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
June 08, 2009. Sup Well, I have a new format, which I originally meant to pair with a new blog post, but generally, this blog has sat more or less idle since NOVEMBER. Hopefully, that will change with the unique and crushing boredom that comes from summertime. A lot has changed since I wrote last, or at least . . . it feels like a lot has changed. I've changed, anyways, and definitely for the better. Here's a small taste of what I've been up to:. It's my own room, so there. I reread a book called "Rebecc...

Getting Around: December 2009
http://burstoforange.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Coming to a close. The semester begins. I work hard for the first few months, slack off, and catch up. Then the semester ends and I have no nostalgia, no longing for any class gone by. No desire to keep things the way they were. I welcome the change of a break followed by new beginnings. There is one class in particular that I am really going to miss: Portuguese 101 with Desiree (she's the one in the black shirt in the middle). But I guess life goes on, and I'll survive. I hope it goes well! Anna is the ...

BLOGTASTIC: I don't understand . . . but I guess that's okay.
http://marblesnme.blogspot.com/2012/01/i-dont-understand-but-i-guess-thats.html
January 28, 2012. I don't understand . . . but I guess that's okay. Sorry, nothing really funny today. Today I'm feeling more . . . introspective. I was confident about college. I was ready to go. High school was fun, and college was going to be better. That's what I always figured, anyway. It was better, in some ways, but in others, it was really, really hard. I don't understand this, still. My life is so different from what I thought it would be. It's not bad. It's not a bad life. But i...I used to dem...

BLOGTASTIC: July 2011
http://marblesnme.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
July 17, 2011. Well, I always feel silly coming back to my blog after a long absence. And this has been the longest one yet. So . . . sorry about that, you guys. And I always feel like I owe everybody an explanation, or at least a synopsis of my life up until this point. I'll just get those two out of the way, shall I? Actually, wait. I do want to talk about that a little bit. I know there is still a big stigma against mental illness and therapy and all of that. That feels good to say. The point, I guess...

BLOGTASTIC: On posting and bathrooms
http://marblesnme.blogspot.com/2010/03/on-posting-and-bathrooms.html
March 22, 2010. On posting and bathrooms. Hey, wow. It's been awhile, yes? I keep meaning to blog because funny crap keeps happening to me over here, but then I get busy and . . . yes . . . But This is not what you are here for, yes? That is why I give you this piece of advice:. If you are living with someone- be it roommates, family, or "Tim," that scary hobo on West Temple and 4th that leers at you as you walk by- always (that means every single time. Lock the bathroom door when you are taking a dump.

Getting Around: January 2010
http://burstoforange.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
I know things happen for reasons. I know that my patience was needed this past week. As the end of Christmas break approached, I realized that I would probably not be receiving my mission call until I was back in Utah. At that point, I had decided to register for classes and hopefully find out where I would be serving before the 'add/drop' deadline. I still had my apartment contract, no job, and no idea where or when I would be going. I knew it was somewhere good. I called my relief society about getting...

BLOGTASTIC: Weekly Song Breakdown: Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night"
http://marblesnme.blogspot.com/2012/01/weekly-song-breakdown-katy-perrys-last.html
January 14, 2012. Weekly Song Breakdown: Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night". Let me first start by saying that while last week I was writing about a song that I had initially liked but had been ruined by mainstream media, this week I am writing about a total abomination that makes baby alpacas cry and if you like it then you are. PS I hate Alpacas, but that's neither here nor there, really. I had no idea. Here's the first verse:. There's a stranger in my bed. There's a pounding in my head. Next we have a D...
