Eat your heart out...or maybe just eat your friends...

In response to Julie's status...in which she stated that she needed to find a fruit salad recipe...



Heather Marie Carlson:
when I first read that I guess I skipped the word find and put the word be in there. I thought you were trying to be a fruit salad...lol...silly me :)

Andrea Uhrey:
That's hilarious!!!! Go Heather! :D

Julie Marie Petersen:
I'd be one crazy fruit salad! I'd be fruity, cheesy, (maybe brie) and nutsy. (Sliced almonds could be yummy!)

Andrea Uhrey:
Then we'd eat you and that would make us cannibals which I do believe is frowned upon in most societies.

Heather Marie Carlson:
it is, in fact, frowned upon in most societies :) But you would still be tasty

Andrea Uhrey:
Mmmmm...fruity Julie!

Julie Marie Petersen:
Wow...um, well, gee guys...I don't even know what to say...

Andrea Uhrey:
In my experience, fruit doesn't speak. Unless, of course, you are giant pice of fruit made by Fruit of the Loom.

Amber Young:
Strange people. :)

Julie Marie Petersen:
...Strange fruit...

Andrea Uhrey:
HEY!!! Speak for yourself, Julie! ;)

Heather Marie Carlson:
I'm a vegetable myself

Heather Marie Carlson:
well...actually...a flower

Andrea Uhrey:
And I'm a dang fine piece of meat! Aw yeah!!

Julie Marie Petersen:
Between all of us we have a feast!! Hooray for edible people!

Amber Young:
I correct myself. Strange food pyramid with a flower on top. :)

Heather Marie Carlson:
and just in time for thanksgiving!

Andrea Uhrey:
Mmmmm...people food!

Julie Marie Petersen:
So we'll eat Andrea instead of turkey...Heather will make a lovely table decoration, I'm a side dish...Any volunteers to be dessert?

Amber Young:
Oooooo! Me!!!!

Heather Marie Carlson:
Janel!

Andrea Uhrey:
WOO HOOO!!!!!!!!! I was going to nominate you and now there's no need. Voluntary desserts are SO much better!

Heather Marie Carlson:
dare I say it...she could be shortcake! You can delete this one if it's too rude. I'm not intending to be mean :)

Heather Marie Carlson:
volunteering is much better :)

Amber Young:
I'll be cheesecake!

Julie Marie Petersen:
I do hereby schedule our night of cannibalism for Friday!

Amber Young:
BTW, I hope you all do a really good job on the 5th in the show. I have a cute date I want to impress! :)

Andrea Uhrey:
Well, that's Julie and Heather's job. Don't disappoint her, ladies!!

Amber Young:
I wasn't sure if you you were still in or not. Thanks for the backing. :)

Andrea Uhrey:
Any time! I'm a good...backer upper.

Amber Young:
:)

Heather Marie Carlson:
it will be a good show :)

Julie Marie Petersen:
Ooh! A date!! Make sure you point out your favorite fruit salad and veggie/flower. Mmmm...dancing and singing food...

Amber Young:
Thanks! I know I can count on you!

Heather Marie Carlson:
wow...look how long this is!!!

Amber Young:
Absolutely I will!

Heather Marie Carlson:
it's a musical unlike any other!

Andrea Uhrey:
And on that note (get it...NOTE!), I'm getting off! :D Goodnight ladies!

Heather Marie Carlson:
goodnight my tasty piece of meat!

Julie Marie Petersen:
Oh no! The meat is leaving! Catch it!

Andrea Uhrey:
Gobble, Gobble!

Alisha Uhrey Eastman:
THAT was hilarious!! Thanks for the laugh, ladies! :)

Je suis fine: a declaration

I don't know where to begin, but I want to scream right now. I'm so frustrated with life right now. Why can't I just be glad to go home this weekend? Oh yeah, I have a date this Saturday...that I don't want to go on anymore. I suppose this all needs some serious explanation.

About a month ago me and Idaho set up a date for this coming weekend. He's going to be in the state, and we figured it would be a good idea. At first, I was super excited. I wanted to plan everything and make it a wonderful day. Then, as the weeks went by, he didn't email, or call when he said he would. (this is a VERY bad habit of his) After awhile, I thought to myself...why should I plan so much for someone that wouldn't do the same for me? I don't want to go through it all anymore. We've had some recent conversations...they weren't good. I even wrote an email laying everything out on the table. When we talked last night (online), it was obvious he didn't get the point of the email. I wonder if he even read the whole thing. So, now things are not good. His only response is that he still wants me. When he talks to me like this, it makes me feel like I'm a prize to be won or something. I don't like being trivialized. I don't want to be treated like I'm stuck in another time period. I'm not a normal girl. I've gotten used to opening my own doors, I don't like people paying for me. I like being treated with respect, with friendship and with love. Don't put me on a pedestal. Just treat me like the human being I am and love me. Is that so hard to ask? Yes, flowers and chocolates are welcome...on holidays or special occasions only though and jewelry...don't even think about it! Ahhh...I can't express how annoying all that stuff is! I don't want a lot. I just want to spend time with that special someone. I want to be best friends. Not the oggled prize of a gamer.

So, to explain more on my last brief blog, I also want to declare that I am done with guys. I've had my heart broken 3 times...and I did it all to myself. Any person I have ever felt something serious for has never ever reciprocated the feelings. They barely knew I was alive sometimes. I can't do that anymore. I refuse to let myself fall for ANYONE. My affections have to be earned. And to earn them they need to follow the previous paragraph.
Oh wait...NO ONE wants me anyways. Well, except for Idaho...but he hasn't been able to prove it. Not that I desire him that much anyways.

Anyways...so, back to some stories...well, only a couple. A couple weeks ago I realized that I really liked this certain person that I see almost on a daily basis. I really like him. Well, through some teasing, he offered to buy me lunch. I screwed up royally and said no. Don't ask why...oh yeah...I don't like people buying things for me. So, to make up for my pathetic mistake, I asked him if he would like to go to an activity that I was going to. Well, I waited all week for an answer. The day before the activity was to happen, I asked him again and he said no. I was at the committee breakfast gathering at the institute...and had to squirm out as fast as possible. I had a good cry in my car before heading over to quintet practice where I had to be around him for another hour. It SUCKED. I'm over the fact that he said no. But, I still like him. A lot. And, today in quintet rehearsal, we changed the seating arrangement...he's sitting next to me now. Ugh. In his way of warming up his instrument, he makes some funny noises. Normally I burst out laughing every time I hear them. Today I had to control myself. I just can't laugh at it anymore. If that makes any sense.

Then, tonight I was reminded an hour late that I had tithing settlement. So, after practicing (or trying to...failed miserably...just fell asleep) I drove over to the church to see if I could still get in. I did. I sat down, checked everything and stated my status and thought I would be on my way. Then the bishop had to bring up that terrible subject of marriage. Why did he do that?! If he was inspired to say it...I almost wish he still wouldn't've said anything. I'm pretty bitter about it all right now. I want to get married...but I know I'm not ready, and I'm scared to death of being in a relationship...let alone a serious one. AND...it's not my fault that guys don't want me. I've done pretty much all I can think of to make myself available and 'on the market.' I wonder why I even try sometimes. Most guys take one look at me and look the other way.
I'm tired and can't keep my eyes open. But I just want to scream right now. Why do people do that? Why are guys so stupid? Why do bishops feel like they have to pressure us into getting married? Why don't they see the real story?

Anyways...I need to take a shower and go to bed.
The End.

AHHHHHH!!!!!

I could SCREAMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys suck! I wish I could make myself not like ANYONE!!!!! I wish our church had a nunery.

Oh the blonde-ness of me!

I need to be asleep. But, I have to write quickly. Boys are a mess in my life! Things are still in an awkward state with my Idaho man, and now there's some new developments with a new friend I made this year. Ahhh!!! If it weren't for the pure dumbness of me, I would probably have a date with him as well. AHHH!!! Crap. I really like him, too.

More details to follow :)
