There's so many things to say, but so little time. There's so much to align, but it keeps getting jumbled. I feel like I don't have time to purposefully dip a book in a lake and read the crinkly pages, or be at the top of a mountain with my legs stinging. I liked how Kendis said: Don't put off doing something when the thought comes, just do it then, or you never will. Like buying a cushion for the bucket chairs, it's been 2 years, and still no cushions. When the thought comes, why don't we just do it? What else are we doing?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Despite all this, there's something about the thought of it that makes me giddy with excitement, an incredible excitement that I've never experienced before, and could never explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WgilGurCQ5s/Tg7s-ERnHXI/AAAAAAAAAXE/uTO93gmo9tc/s1600/194076_4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 280px; height: 322px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WgilGurCQ5s/Tg7s-ERnHXI/AAAAAAAAAXE/uTO93gmo9tc/s400/194076_4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624693535675981170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; "&gt;I saw this painting at the San Diego Museum of Art.

What is it about awesome that they don't understand? Theres something so great about that one little detail that completely transforms a boring ordinary collared shirt into a shabby nerd/gangster/oxfordy/librariany/beautiful piece of clothing which happens to be ***bonus*** super modest. &lt;div&gt;I guess it's the only way I can justify wearing those shirts because they never look quite right on me. I can't take myself seriously when that fabric is dangling open, it looks sloppy. I can't help that I love the way the collar looks when it's closed. There are so many different shape of collars, which make it fun. Some of them point straight down or point off into different directions, some are long and some are short, it's a surprise waiting to be discovered, and you'll never know until you do it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I met a boy at Called to Surf who completely supports my BTTB Movement (see post title), as well as Seany, both opinions which I trust, so who's with me?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-4075754091087128069?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/4075754091087128069/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=4075754091087128069&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/4075754091087128069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/4075754091087128069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2011/06/button-that-top-button.html' title='Button That Top Button.'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n1EVa7AD8FA/TgTb-kzBW4I/AAAAAAAAAW8/kV3ISTNHckE/s72-c/photo%2B%252811%25292.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-4069813634573711933</id><published>2011-06-18T12:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-18T12:30:20.753-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Wisdom</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zE3npRecWHA/Tfz8M9J0ixI/AAAAAAAAAWk/7127W_EOz8Q/s1600/photo%2B%25286%2529.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

Every time my mom leaves town and we have to house sit, we get the best notes of all time posted on every inch on the house, they make me laugh out loud every time I see them. Then there's Jen's little scribbles all over every piece of scrap paper in the house. I have to save them all because some day they will be as precious as Picasso's sketches. Little critters and creatures and cuddly squishy blobs with eyes and circle cheeks. I'm beginning to collect these little pieces of paper people leave around, it's a little trail of their lives and I want that part to be remembered the most because it's the real them, their real handwriting, their trail of thoughts left behind.

That may have to do with hanging out with sophistically immature people evry livin day and talking like I'm from the dirty south for a week straight. I've had a permanent southern bell accent ever since a midnight run to the hospital, which resulted in a 2-hour conversation on foot corns fried up real nice in ambiotic fluids along with dutch oven regurgitated 2nd breakfasts. I reckon my humor has hit the hogs, but I ain't ashamed no more. No I ain't, I reckon ever girl goes through a time in her life where ever thing she ever knew feels sliperier than a snot covered doorknob. My mama wanted to whop me upside the head, but I ain't gonna let no mama give me a lickin. Anyhow, I reckon I'll never grow up ter be a well-mannered lady, things just keep on getting way too funny for me to turn down a good ol' knee-slappin' belly-achin' laugh. Don't ever be what they want you to be, or you gonna let the good things in life pass you by.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. Iti sour light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presense automatically liberates others. &lt;br /&gt;- Marianne Williamson&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-7557329430414640691?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/7557329430414640691/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=7557329430414640691&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/7557329430414640691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/7557329430414640691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2011/05/random-great-things-from-today.html' title='Random great things from today'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-2141498592236479663</id><published>2011-04-29T16:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-01T23:47:08.717-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Simply Put.</title><content type='html'>I've been realizing the best things are always so simple.

At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?  Why do we speak UP and why are th eofficers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP and appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is ordinary, but to be dressed UP is special. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can have UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of th emany ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. But when the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for a while, things dry UP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you think of more?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best movie is UP.&lt;br /&gt;You break UP when things don't work out.&lt;br /&gt;The top of your booty's jigglin out those jeans, baby pull your pants UP&lt;br /&gt;Wrap it UP and shut UP&lt;br /&gt;It's time to set UP shop and keep UP to speed. &lt;br /&gt;Sit UP straight and stay UP late&lt;br /&gt;I'll be UP UP and away UP UP and away&lt;br /&gt;My time is UP.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

day in a long time. My professor in school told us the other day that the human mind can take in 11 million pieces of information at one time, but the brightest of humans can only process 45 in the moment. He said to imagine how many pieces of information that bombard you when you go for a walk in nature. I took his advice and was completely overwhelmed with the richness a good walk outdoors contains. It shows you new things you've never noticed before, beautiful little things, each one was created with careful perfection. Frodo and I even saw a bunny! as well as the first blossoms of the year. I'm going to make this a habit. Oh and grape flavored chewy wax moustaches with mom topped off this perfect day. I love girls night out on conference weekend more than anything!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-7241058126639160143?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/7241058126639160143/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=7241058126639160143&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/7241058126639160143'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/7241058126639160143'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2011/04/moustache-blossoms.html' title='Moustache + Blossoms'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CVod669-a4k/TZgRn0c7pRI/AAAAAAAAAM4/HT87sKZ_qJU/s72-c/photo%2B%25282%2529.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-4943223562172673183</id><published>2011-03-16T12:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-16T12:45:20.640-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My old friends!</title><content type='html'>Oh I've missed these guys.

We found a leaky blow up basketball hoop in the yard of a purple house in Cayman pushed off to float in the aqua-blue crystal water that was the perfect bath temperature. Kendis had the base and I laid on the hoop and we drifted away into the most floaty moment of our lives. It's hard to describe the perfection of that moment, we were as light as air, the breeze cooled us down like those battery-powered pocket mist fans, the sound of water was so soothing, we talked about life and had no cares in the world. But moments like that can't last forever! As soon as it had come it was over with large needle-like drops of rain stabbing our skin, stabbing our perfect moment to it's death. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Floating moments don't last long, but rain cannot stab the memory or impact of them! They make life make sense. &lt;br /&gt;More floating moments:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eating hershey's kisses on top of NYC in pink chairs.&lt;br /&gt;Sneaking Häagen Dazs Vanilla ice cream in the middle of the night w Kelsey&lt;br /&gt;Exploring a black coral castle in Kauai&lt;br /&gt;Riding bikes through the provo river trail to the duck pond and having a picnic&lt;br /&gt;Discovering fluffy land on scooters for the first time&lt;br /&gt;The Enchanted forest after the perfect snow storm&lt;br /&gt;Walking through Rome for the first night and looking up at the Vatican wall with first italian pizza&lt;br /&gt;Soccer game in Minori with the whole town, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic5vxw3eijY"&gt;American Boy playing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minori Minori Minori&lt;br /&gt;Honeymoon suite on the top of Minori&lt;br /&gt;The leather man's shop in Minori&lt;br /&gt;Playing piano in the rain at Dante Alighieri&lt;br /&gt;Experiencing a fig for the first time&lt;br /&gt;Eating dinner in the country of Tuscany with the family from my big fat greek wedding&lt;br /&gt;Mama luigia's zucchini pasta&lt;br /&gt;All of mama luigia's food&lt;br /&gt;Soaking up sun in the Piazza Del Campo for the last time&lt;br /&gt;Watching Karli eat an apple with perfection in the Piazza Del Campo&lt;br /&gt;Realizing for the first time that I know a city in Italy like the back of my hand&lt;br /&gt;Looking at a finger on a dimple on the thigh of Persephephone on the Rape of Persephephone by Bernini for a full 15 minutes&lt;br /&gt;Tasting real gelato for the first time&lt;br /&gt;Stealing grapes from a vineyard in Corniglia, Cinque Terre after climbing 400 steps, twice&lt;br /&gt;Once again floating in the crystal clear ocean of Cinque Terre after hiking through an ancient trail&lt;br /&gt;Confirenze Generale in the little church under an apartment building, everyone cheering for the temple in Roma&lt;br /&gt;Discovering antique markets in Arrezzo &lt;br /&gt;Eating warm rice pudding in the countryside of Tuscany&lt;br /&gt;Seeing my family for the first time after 3 months&lt;br /&gt;Elder Ballard coming to our stake conference&lt;br /&gt;The first feeling of summer&lt;br /&gt;Driving in Karli's yellow bug through Provo with a crystal lite, coca cola, dr pepper &amp;

Thank you Bob for making waking up pleasant in the morning. xoxo.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-4014502052538341500?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/4014502052538341500/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=4014502052538341500&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/4014502052538341500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/4014502052538341500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2011/01/sad-newsmeet-bob.html' title='Sad News/Meet Bob'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/TSjMm7-o7eI/AAAAAAAAAIs/KVF-dSJFJpo/s72-c/885637_raw.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-3296151318573047627</id><published>2010-12-29T15:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-29T15:50:48.581-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Meet Pingu &amp; Jimmy!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/TRvIlRBgbtI/AAAAAAAAAIc/yNg8_NFyNSM/s1600/pengy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/TRvIlRBgbtI/AAAAAAAAAIc/yNg8_NFyNSM/s320/pengy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556255107842076370" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                     Pingu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/TRvIlGXS1CI/AAAAAAAAAIU/Hl9mQmjneRM/s1600/jimmee.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/TRvIlGXS1CI/AAAAAAAAAIU/Hl9mQmjneRM/s320/jimmee.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556255104980669474" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                    Jimmy&lt;br /&gt;They came to us on Christmas day from Ryan and Katie!

So I found a blog where every single picture of food looked so &lt;a href="http://www.thegoodmoodfoodblog.com/"&gt;appetizing&lt;/a&gt;. On it was a picture of &lt;a href="http://thedabble.com/blog/potato-soup-dreams/"&gt;soup&lt;/a&gt; and I went straight away to the market for $25 worth of vegetables and all sorts of creams to made enough soup to feed the country of Spain. It didn't look anything like the picture and had so much milk and cream and butter and sour cream that I died and went to mashed potato heaven. It might have been too dreamy. My roommates think I'm crazy for making food at midnight, they said I should just make top ramen, but top ramen is really two servings instead of one, I feel tricked, they want to make me look like that. If you find a sweet recipe on the blog I'll make it for you! I love cooking instead of homework.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-1520382356622713247?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/1520382356622713247/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=1520382356622713247&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/1520382356622713247'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/1520382356622713247'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2010/12/good-good-good-eat-eat-eat.html' title='good good good eat eat eat'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/TQCgc5BUkOI/AAAAAAAAAHw/PfsvucSSUg8/s72-c/68246_549164004468_69700731_31948473_5893680_n.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-6333237119541300702</id><published>2010-11-15T01:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-15T01:14:27.421-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I can't sleep</title><content type='html'>Cause i'm cutting my hair off tomorrow!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know why, I guess I feel obligated because Kelsey saw a really cute girl with short hair one day&lt;br /&gt;made a powerpoint presentation on reasons why I should cut my hair&lt;br /&gt;forcefully persisted every morning when I woke up that I cut it &lt;br /&gt;and then proceded called and set up an appointment with her favorite hair stylist. &lt;br /&gt;I have no choice. &lt;br /&gt;I always want to grow my hair long and luscious, but always have a random spaz and then CHOP it. &lt;br /&gt;It's going to be short. &lt;br /&gt;Not like a man's though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good bye hair.

I think it's time to go back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yP2V4mt4XWQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yP2V4mt4XWQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-4311729789181791630?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/4311729789181791630/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=4311729789181791630&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/4311729789181791630'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/4311729789181791630'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2010/06/2-years.html' title='2 Years'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-4911665806246448020</id><published>2010-05-18T15:51:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-18T15:52:14.393-07:00</updated><title type='text'>110</title><content type='html'>This song has 110 play counts on my itunes.

To my lucky surprise I was running out the door today and a large bag of skittles caught my eye. With a sting of that strange urge I grabbed the biggest handfull I could muster and plopped the entire lot in without a blink. It felt so incredibly satisfying to satisfy my desires. I felt so happy until suddenly the lot turned into a gigantic sandy clump. My eyes began to water and my teeth were slowly coating with cavity-initiating sugar. As I drove down the rode the stupidity of my idea hit me hard while the nastiest lumpy bubble of death was growing in my mouth the size of a small watermelon. Grossss. &lt;br /&gt;I've only ever acted on this impluse one other time and obviously didn't learn my lesson even though I nearly chocked to death on 8 pieces of watermelon hubba bubba, which turns into the largest goop that is a lovely shade of diarrea brown which makes you laugh so hard you don't know that it's trying to block all access to air until it's too late! Gooey gooey gum drops of slime trickle down the face.

I always wanted one because in my first grade class if you got hurt in class you got candy. Kind of messed up, but it was Mrs. bottom, so what do you expect? Once my friend Ally sneezed and she caught a bowl of blood in her hands from her nose, but apparently Mrs. Bottom doesn't give out candy to bloody nose injuries, only serious ones that draw real blood painfully like bee stings and scrapes or broken bones. I've yet to be stung by a bee or break a bone knock on wood. I used to knock on plastic wood in my car, don't worry it works the same! Even plastic that doesn't look like wood at all in a different car works wonders, it's all about your perspective on things. knocking on paper totally counts p.s. &lt;br /&gt;See u.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-4808791195730490342?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/4808791195730490342/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=4808791195730490342&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/4808791195730490342'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/4808791195730490342'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2009/03/hi-im-alyssa.html' title='hi im alyssa'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-4382789825897608967</id><published>2009-03-05T16:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-05T23:32:23.112-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The first time that i met you i knew one day i would know you even better</title><content type='html'>yesterday! was a pretty incredible day for me, i got to sing a song with the famous, talented and sexy lynzie glaus.

If you dare to listen to that voice I'm going to come up there and kick you. Besides, only crazy people listen to voices in their head.

That is possibly the meanest thing to do ever. So i'm sitting in my room and blogging instead! it's actually more beneficial to my education in my professional opinion. To be quite honest i'm feeling sickly so i have a good excuse to not go to class. I always have felt bad about skipping class because i read once in a byu daily universe article that based on the tuition you pay, it costs somewhere around $375 to attend class. I totally just made up that number, but the point is they made me feel really wasteful and ungrateful for the education that i have. on the contrary i am very grateful for the amazing opportunity to go to byu. sometimes you just cant go to class though. i met this guy named spencer and he talked about the points of andy warhol for a long time, i sort of phased in and out of his discussion, he kept saying "the point is that..fill in the blank.." and there were more than 50 points in his 30 minute explanation of andy warhol's crazy factory where people would jump out of the window and andy was just sorry that he didn't get to film it. The point is that in actuality there is no point except to make the point that the point is the point. ok fine im going to class now i dont like capitalizing i, it looks so much cuter and more my personality as me myself and i than I, that just looks like a staple in another stack of homework assignments, i dont want to capitalize anything ever again&lt;br /&gt;this used to be my classroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/SZr1AMmWZAI/AAAAAAAAAF0/Z-KkJn9OB64/s1600-h/CIMG1677.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/SZr1AMmWZAI/AAAAAAAAAF0/Z-KkJn9OB64/s320/CIMG1677.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303820894913061890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-5680702717402127466?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/5680702717402127466/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=5680702717402127466&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/5680702717402127466'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/5680702717402127466'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2009/02/sluffing.html' title='Sluffing!'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/SZr1AMmWZAI/AAAAAAAAAF0/Z-KkJn9OB64/s72-c/CIMG1677.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-2357746850549965896</id><published>2009-02-12T20:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-12T20:48:00.601-08:00</updated><title type='text'>whities</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/SZT6oKKnqeI/AAAAAAAAAFk/WICwmee6UNM/s1600-h/CIMG2391.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/SZT6oKKnqeI/AAAAAAAAAFk/WICwmee6UNM/s320/CIMG2391.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302138229152524770" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-2357746850549965896?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/2357746850549965896/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=2357746850549965896&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/2357746850549965896'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/2357746850549965896'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2009/02/whities.html' title='whities'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/SZT6oKKnqeI/AAAAAAAAAFk/WICwmee6UNM/s72-c/CIMG2391.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-5849717093994275123</id><published>2008-08-18T15:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-21T18:19:35.800-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Summer Stained Memories</title><content type='html'>The countdown is on!

At first it was so bumpy and scary, I shook up and down and side and diagonal but then jenny said "open the window" . That's exactly when my heart skipped a beat. I tried to breathe but my breath was stolen from me. The sight that filled my eyes was more glorious than any words together could ever describe. I truthfully felt like i was flying in Heaven, a glimpse that could never be photographed, only burned into you, awakening your deepest desires. The impact of my cloud was astonishing. The time moved faster than I wanted. I never wanted to leave . The sun was there dancing on every fluff of diamond whiteness that towered overhead, I felt so close so overwhelmed, so small, I couldn't draw a breath for a full 3 minutes, and then it was over. My cloud slowly got smaller and smaller until it was only a prick in the past.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-295522080876442460?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/295522080876442460/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=295522080876442460&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/295522080876442460'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/295522080876442460'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2008/07/do-you-feel-better-about-yourself.html' title='Do you feel better about yourself?'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-4194038137303060588</id><published>2008-07-27T17:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-27T17:28:02.638-07:00</updated><title type='text'>a think that I thoughted</title><content type='html'>one day as I sat in my garden, i pondered. &lt;br /&gt;I wondered, and wandered and found so much deep beneath the bedrock.&lt;br /&gt;What an exclamation I cried when surprise filled my sight.&lt;br /&gt;It was so lovely I almost ran from fright.

I was feeling it so badly I had this incredible urge to dance. It was so overpowering but I couldn't just break down and dance right in the middle of the gym, so I disciplined the dancing only to my hands but then my shoulders suddenly joined and my head and my feet started stepping step tapping to the beat I couldn't help myself! Basically I was dancing in the gym on a treadmill, and you know what I don't care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then of course after all that sweaty dance running extravaganzas I had to take a shower. WORST feeling ever when you get out of a nice warm shower and it's freezing outside of it, and you realize that you forgot to get a towel. luckily there was a 2-inch wash cloth left on the counter or I would have been caught in a sticky-wicky&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that was breakfast! fluffy scrambled eggs and toast. I always have so much eggshell drama. My mama buys the eggs that are so hard to crack so I am prone to hitting the egg really hard to get a nice clean crack (never happens). I recently attended a cooking class where the lady cracked eggs kind of funny but I thought I would try it. She would smash the egg flat on the counter and it always came out without any shells. So I got my egg out, smashed it on the counter and the entire egg came out all over the counter.

When one is presented it seems to be their perfect most desired flavor for a while, but that is precisely when the disease unfolds: symptoms: your head is no longer regular size, rather it's transformed into something like a rose-tinted machine but it just doesn't seem to fit right, it's forced on and squeezes your eyes until all slowly turns black and all you can see is a picture of you because that is all you remember. soon it's all you want to remember. When rose-tinted glasses were the true style, life was simple, 2 weeks and you would know, 50 years past there are only trails of petals falling from your spectacles, no regrets, what you feel is real. they accepted.

Don't worry I really wasn't but the officer didn't believe me or Marit for a while because we looked like drag queen druggies on account of our very important photo shoot being that night which required crazy-bus hair and creepy yet sassy Amy Winehouse maquiage. We looked really hot, he just wanted our numbers but he didn't have the courage to ask us so he was just mean instead and treated us like brainless 5 year olds who got caught stealing a cookie from the cookie jar (who me? yes you. couldn't be! then who?). &lt;br /&gt;My theory on Police: The nerdy guys who always got picked on in high school, now they are taking it out on everyone else, just because they can. Nobody will ever like them. Sorry but you can't force people to like you just because you have pretty lights on top of your car.

know it's not good for you, but i'm&lt;br /&gt;still alive.&lt;br /&gt;I miss it already.&lt;br /&gt;Fluff puff stuff, it's rough being far from it.&lt;br /&gt;My new favorite word is: Tuft, "I held a tuft of bubbles in my hand. One by One the little bubbles popped and the tuft was just a wet hand."&lt;br /&gt;Kendis and Shanda and I used to take bubble baths together! and we changed the words to "There is a Green Hill Far Away" to "There is a bubble far away without a city wall" Whenever it was my turn to sing Kendis would turn the speaker phone on throughout the whole house so everyone could hear. That was when I first discovered I had bony elbows, Shanda told me that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a good joke but i forgot it right now, it had to do with an egg. keep reading this really good stuff that I write, and maybe one day it'll remember it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've gotten incredibly terrible at cracking eggs lately for some reason. Today i tried to make scrambled eggs and the first egg i cracked only a small hole appeared at the top, so i shook the egg out and it took like 10 minutes to ooze out, i don't know why I didn't crack it again. The second egg, i decided to give it a nice hard whacking, it didn't even crack except for a tiny sliver! My mum buys invincible eggs. so i did it again and the shell shattered into the tiniest fibers possible, I don't understand how that even happened. I gave up trying to scrap microscopic eggshells out of my scrambled mess and ate it anyway. I used to be the master one hand crackin' champion, those were the glory days, now I've got to get used to eating shell. I told myself that it was just salt and gobbled it right up. gobble. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was a dumb joke, it wasn't even funny, it was just a dumb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Royksopp!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/SGHtTIG6p9I/AAAAAAAAAAk/rDIjeDu-leU/s1600-h/IMG_6743.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/SGHtTIG6p9I/AAAAAAAAAAk/rDIjeDu-leU/s320/IMG_6743.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215710756321535954" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-5988874669033424696?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/5988874669033424696/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=5988874669033424696&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/5988874669033424696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/5988874669033424696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2008/06/bubble-trouble.html' title='Bubble Trouble'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/SGHtTIG6p9I/AAAAAAAAAAk/rDIjeDu-leU/s72-c/IMG_6743.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-7067108927344707862</id><published>2008-06-24T12:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-26T22:05:33.273-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Gloria's little Italy!</title><content type='html'>SO AMAZING. Even though I've never been to Italy, I definitely have had a lot of Italian food in my lifetime and Gloria's has trumped them all so far, we'll see after I go to the Real Big Italy in the Fall...For now I really like Gloria's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know you're in the right sort of restaurant when the people who work there speak Italian as well as the customers (like me: deue bimbi princhipessa and spaghetti). You've also struck gold when you get to sit in a little nook with windows looking out over the most breath-taking view of Tuscany even though you're really in Provo, Utah, you wouldn't believe it if someone told you. Everything is excellent to the core, plus if you're the lucky one that week you'll even get a little note on you're receipt to call your waiter with a winky smile as you walk out the door (this has happened more than once with my friends).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Food.&lt;br /&gt;The first time I went there I didn't want anything else but a Nutella Sandwich and it was the most incredible thing I couldn't have even imagined it in my dreams, warm gooey nutella on Bricocia lightly toasted bread, wow. Second time was last night and I ate bow tie pastas with a hint of Salsa pinkataoalalaquatroformaggio, can't spell it but is very bien. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glorias=Glorious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today at work I even got to make 6 different coupons for Gloria's, I was ecstatic to help promote this delightful discovery.&lt;br /&gt;Here's one of them &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/SGFPCmhuLKI/AAAAAAAAAAc/yQxALFoBWDA/s1600-h/Gloria%27s+1st+coupon.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/SGFPCmhuLKI/AAAAAAAAAAc/yQxALFoBWDA/s320/Gloria%27s+1st+coupon.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215536749592063138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-7067108927344707862?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/7067108927344707862/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=7067108927344707862&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/7067108927344707862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/7067108927344707862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2008/06/glorias-little-italy.html' title='Gloria&apos;s little Italy!'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bumqh8m6MEU/SGFPCmhuLKI/AAAAAAAAAAc/yQxALFoBWDA/s72-c/Gloria%27s+1st+coupon.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-7520027267577204953</id><published>2008-06-18T22:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-18T23:22:31.724-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I am cursed.</title><content type='html'>I have the laughing and tickling curse&lt;br /&gt;It always comes at the most inappropriate times.

(most of the bad explosions come in sacrament meeting at the most dead silent times too)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting a hair cut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watching a serious church movie next to Marit with the girl and the big black bow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any type of body contact with someone else, especially when it's a kiss and you get that tingly feeling where you feel so connected with that person, that is the MOST ticklish thing of my life, and i start laughing so hard. lots of times it doesn't turn out so good, they just don't understand how controlling it really is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;getting a pedicure or make-up done AHHHHH i don't like those one bit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;listening to someone talk who has the softest soothingest voice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;seeing people trip or get hurt, hilarious, but not really, but really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really cheesy jokes that don't make sense like this: What is tall and Orange? The empire state carrot of course!&lt;br /&gt;10 minutes after the joke...i'm still laughing&lt;br /&gt;when everyone does not think it's funny, i find it really really really really funny. i must be loony&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anytime after the hour of 1am, everything is extremely funny&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;holding in the laugh is the hardest part, being a laughy person you would think i would be good at holding it in, but no. I still get the whole snort and tears rolling down my face explosions, i can't help it! and people think you are so rude&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm good at immitating other people's emotions sometimes without my control...when i see someone cry i start tearing up, when i see someone laughing really hard...for example i was about to give a talk in sacrament meeting and Selia and Natalie were ducked down behind the benches and red faced laughing about something and i couldn't help but laugh along with them up there on the stand, people were probably so confused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Giving a talk and looking at anyone i know, makes me laugh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i noticed that every time time i text message someone, it starts out with "ha ha"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If mary poppins were a true story, i would be the one up their with Uncle Albert because i love to laugh ah ha ha ha long and loud and clear doo dee doo&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-7520027267577204953?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/7520027267577204953/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=7520027267577204953&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/7520027267577204953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/7520027267577204953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2008/06/i-am-cursed.html' title='I am cursed.'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-2903094967263659958</id><published>2008-06-17T20:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-17T20:45:38.933-07:00</updated><title type='text'>this one goose</title><content type='html'>one day i was sad and mar(roll the tongue)it told me the best story ever that made me laugh so hard.

This story alone was not made to make anyone feel happy and joyous, I loved it nonetheless because every other line we had to stop for 10 minutes à cause de pure belly-rupturing laughter the kind where it hurts so bad it feels amazing! the kind where your face is stuck in the most hideous position semi-permanently and you can't move it even if you give all your effort possible because your abdominals are on fire and you can't stop the warm tears from falling down your cheeks. You're just kind of paralyzed in time and for the duration of your explosion, you experience the most intense bliss yet the most excruciating pain, that is one of my favorite feelings in the world. joyous pain. it turned my pain into the most jubilant sensation that fed my soul pink frosted cupcakes with the slightest sprinkling of sugared candy bits of delight. the story ended good though. fortunately the goose's kids had an inherited gene from their mother that the older they grow and the more someone else loved them for who they were, the more beautiful they became, so the old shallow goose got his beautiful family and was adored by all.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-2903094967263659958?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/2903094967263659958/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=2903094967263659958&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/2903094967263659958'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/2903094967263659958'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2008/06/this-one-goose.html' title='this one goose'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-4349161127658318468</id><published>2008-06-17T20:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-17T20:16:07.186-07:00</updated><title type='text'>she crazy</title><content type='html'>BYU festivals are the perfect feeding ground if you are looking for a tasty piece of meat for a fantastic feast.

I'll find you a match hold on to this bucket of cheese, or is it 3 coins in a coffin? 3 coins can cause a total of 3 hours of laughter and 3 years of good memories and 300 times the story can be told plus 3 and it will never grow old 3 strikes doesn't always mean you're out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-4349161127658318468?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/4349161127658318468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=4349161127658318468&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/4349161127658318468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/4349161127658318468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2008/06/she-crazy.html' title='she crazy'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-7210313318922590190</id><published>2008-06-06T10:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-17T20:49:07.571-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Kendis likes Giraffes</title><content type='html'>her favorite animal is giraffes because their body to heart ratio shows that they have the biggest heart! and they have pretty eye lashes, and graceful long necks and cool spots&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2678558296395078336-7210313318922590190?l=alyssawatson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/feeds/7210313318922590190/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2678558296395078336&amp;postID=7210313318922590190&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/7210313318922590190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2678558296395078336/posts/default/7210313318922590190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alyssawatson.blogspot.com/2008/06/kendis-likes-giraffes.html' title='Kendis likes Giraffes'/><author><name>Alyssa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14067993246493317033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678558296395078336.post-8978603222721494372</id><published>2008-06-06T07:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-06T07:48:09.616-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Unknown Friends</title><content type='html'>Today i drove down state street and saw the most interesting looking person of my life.

One of my favorite stories she told me was about this electric company who almost has the same number as her, her is 4565 and theirs is 6545. these people kept calling her and kept getting all huffy puffy about her not being able to do their electricity.  one day this lady kept calling and calling and said, "Why do ya keep answering?" and grandma said "well durn why do ya keep calling, you gotta turn the numbers aroun" So then after this big episode, grandma made a decision she said "Well i got fed up with havin all these people call my number so i call the company and said What is your phone number, why do all these people keep calling me. me and ryan and jen looked at each other and laughed so hard, i'm still laughing. good thing she called the company to see what their number was or she never would have known what their number was, but wait how did she call to get their number.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
