Skills of a Moose

In the past week I have somehow managed to injure myself repeatedly. I think my subconscious is mad at me.

I burned 2 of my fingers on the frying pan making chicken.

My hand got scratched when playing with Moose (my roommate's sister's dog).

I got grass rash from playing with said dog.

Burned the bottom of my foot walking across the pavement home from church.

And did this to my finger while trying to put on a skirt:

And this picture makes it look pretty.

(Story behind the title of this post is that when we were going to go get the puppy and play in the park, our friend Matt thought my roommates were referring to me as "Moose" from some strange reason. So I am Moose apparently O.o)

So yeah my subconscious hates me. Oh well.

On a side note we had story time last night! A different friend of ours named Matt decided to read to Apt 309, me, Nikki, the other Matt and Stirling and some other random passersby.
And I got sat on by Stirling, so thoughtful.
We heard "Wodney the Wat" and "The Missing Piece Meets the Big O".
It was lovely =]
The end!

Just kidding.
I went and got to hang out with Albert for a little bit and chat it up with him =D =D =D
And then his roommates gave me food and drink.
They are nice.
The End (again).

Can this semester never end?
And let's start calling koolaid "drink"
Want a pot of hot koolaid?
I made this for you!

There and Back Again

A Megan's tale.

For the record, yes I did just watch the first Lord of the Rings the other day.

My tale began at 9am this morning when the doorbell rang. Matt Hiatt was nice enough to give me a ride to Pilot Moutain, where him, Chris, David and myself were going hiking. We picked up Chris along the way and off we went.

Matt was kind enough to provide nostalgic music from stuff we all used to listen to back in the day, such as Jack Johnson, Michael Jackson, Weezer, Oasis and Greenday. We had a lovely time reflecting on the days when "Beverly Hills" came out on the radio and that is what everyone listened to and got sick of not quickly enough.

Of course riding with someone who hasn't really driven in North Caqrolina is several years, we took a little scenic route thanks to Google Maps...

And of course, Google Maps wasn't the only thing that lied. They said there would be no rain until 3pm, at 10am, it was raining.

After parking and meeting up with David, we started down a trail, but being with guys, we took come sort of "lets just call it a path of some sort"and ended up on some other trail. Being the great sports we are, we went along with it and may or may not have taken several "this might've been a trail once" detours. Of course we were up in a cloud, so the overlook was amazing and white, and more white. It was quite a sight.

So between getting decently soaked from the rain and attempting to hide from Chris while he went to relieve himself, it was quite fun.

Oh I guess I should add one part that made my easily amused self laugh. You see, I have always had this theory that they make guys pockets huge so they can fit 5 course meals in their pockets. While looking at the trail map, Matt offers some granola bars to use and pulls out several, given I have no idea where those came from because I swear his pockets looked empty. Then Chris remarks that he a bagel with peanut butter and pulls that out of thin air......*pause to imagine this odd sighting*......can I just say, guys are so weird. Who carries food in their pockets????? All the same, I had laugh since i am always saying it's possible to fit everything in pockets.

I'm sorry, our adventure was not that great but to make you feel better, we came up with one on our hike. So David got pushed down the mountain and magically survived. When he finally stopped rolling, he ran into a bear, but the only thing he had to defend himself was a snake on a walking stick. So he made the snake on the stick, fight the bear until the bear died, and then David beat the snake with his stick until it died too, then he came back and pushed Matt down the mountain (repeat story). Great stuff huh? No story is truly great without a bear, a snake, and a good walking stick.

We also decided we were going to grow cucumbers with my cucumber seeds (that I just happened to bring) and David's water and Matt's magic growth serum. (Apparently it's a Korean thing to eat cucumbers when you hike.)

Now on to my afternoon.

We finally got me a new suitcase since my other one had a little mishap on the way back from Idaho/Utah.

R.I.P. Forest Green suitcase. =[ Welcome new silver one!

I found some magnets for $1!!! (The garden/fruit ones)

I have this recent obsession with magnets since I found it nearly impossible to find ANY in Rexburg. =/

This is my: I got an unexpected 2nd shower today (rain) so my hair is in a ghetto ponytail look.

Despite my lazy day look, I took my little brother Aaron (below) and his friend Eric (not pictured) out for a little shopping adventure, where we met up with Matt Brown.

Isn't he just awesome sauce? And the bomb dot com? But he is not a cupcake piggy bank.
(Yet all of those are SO much fun to say).

So we explored World Market for a long while, sitting in comfy bowl chairs, playing with simple, slightly lame, easily amusing toys, along with looking at strange foods/beverages and water from Europe (Oooooo......Voss).

After power walking around the store, we decided to be fatties!

Nothing says "Let's gain 10lbs" like buying a dozen doughnuts! =D

Sadly Matt is easily tricked and ended up buying a dozen for himself because the lady lied and said 6 doughnuts would cost as much as a dozen. Poor Matt, tricked into being a fatty.

But we got some awesome Pomegranate soda!!!

Yum! So awesome, I had to put 2 pictures up. =]

It is delicious! Can't go wrong with pomegranate. Plus it's fun to say.

Just to show how dorky I am, as if wandering through World Market all day isn't weird enough....

I found a Sudoku Rubix Cube.

No, you heard me right the first time. It's my 2 favorite things into ONE!

So of course I HAD to get it. =]

And Eric got some Pocky.

Japanese chocolate covered biscuits. YUM!

Also being my dork self, I found some limited German chocolate!

Mint and German chocolate, heaven much?

Finally, Aaron found a Ramen bowl.

Which is perfect because he eats a LOT of Ramen.

How cute it that?

And how cute is my brother?

Him and his ramen, and oh so happy.

And that was our day. =] It was lots of fun. Now to go hobble off to bed now that my legs are starting to feel all that hiking and detouring this morning.

Have a great day!

Bangs on Thursday
Excited?
Yes

It Finally Happened

I got sick

=[

So what did I do? I went to bed and slept and now I feel mostly better. I think I will take some medicine and go back to bed.

But in other news

I just remembered I have German Chocolate!

I think I'll eat it tomorrow if I feel better.

I met a guy named Jordan at Devotional today from Matt Hiatt's ward. He lives next door to Matt, small world huh?

And Drew came over and played our N64 for a bit. I realized I am SUPER rusty at Mario Kart =[
But considering I can't remember the last time I played video games, I don't feel so bad.

And I'm watching the movie "Elf" for the 50 bazillionth time because for some reason, Nicole has somehow missed it the past bazillion times.

But I think I am going to make hot cocoa, I think it will warm my soul and make me feel happy

Any maybe write some letters.

11 Days until I go home!

Laugh
Joke
Have fun

Short and Sweet, Basically this is where it's at!

Sooo......I'm way tired from walking around campus in the freezing rain today so short and sweet tonight.

SO basically we've had guys over every day this week! Monday was Matt & Dustin. Tuesday was Jake. Wednesday was Trevor, Aaron and Jameson and tonight was Harry, Nick, Chris and 2 other guys that I can't remember their names. But all of um are pretty crazy awesome! So yeah fun week.

Tonight we had an apartment night with just us 6 girls. Keely, Nicole, Rachel, Alisa, Cacia and I =] We made brownies, went to Little Caesar's in our pjs in Keely's little car (with AWESOME subs though) jamming to music and goofing off. Then watched Jurassic Park.

Oh and while those 5 guys were over and another girl, our Bishopric all showed up, so we had 16 people in our little living room, but it was fun.

So time for bed, no classes until 2pm tomorrow. =]
