I am selfish, I am wrong, I am right, I swear I'm right, I swear I knew it all along

Pretty sure that I met my future husband the other night. He was a mighty good looking guy. We got to talking about some stuff, and the subject veered to music. My bubble was then burst. He doesn't know anything about "modern" music (e.g. anything newer that Beethoven) and has never been to a concert. Since this is such an important thing to me, I was about ready to give up. But, I had a thought. Can one be converted to "music snobbery" or is it an inherent quality you have to be born with? I think it is the first. I have only recently become addicted to different types and styles of music. And, I still have so much more to learn. There are soooo many bands out there that are just waiting to have a chance at my ear and I am willing to give them that chance. Maybe that is what it boils down to. Having the willingness to be converted. Or maybe that is just wishful thinking.

I've been thinkin maybe I've been partly cloudy, maybe I'm the chance of rain



One of my favorite bands, Switchfoot, is coming in concert next week in Odgen. Tickets are only 10 bucks. Anyone want to go? I promise that it'll be fun!

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies

I think McSomethingkins might be the only one who can get this song.... It is an obscure line from a great song!:)
Here's the dealio. For the first time in months, I am genuinely happy. I am loving everything right now. Very few things have changed, but those changes have made everything else go smoother. I am back to loving my job, school is okay, and my living situation is free. I am in a different ward with a bunch of my old high school friends, and I am loving spending time with them. Even though there are so many things that I thought would happen by now that have not, I am really happy.
Next month, we are going to Vegas!!!!!! And, like two days after we get back, I am taking my residents to Wendover. I think I am gonna be casinoed out. It will be fun though. My boss and her husband are coming as are the nurse and her husband. The marketing director and his girlfriend might come too. I asked if I could bring someone so I didn't feel so alone and loserly, but my boss said that I only could if that someone and I were in a relationship. That is discrimination and I won't stand for it! So I either have to deal with three couples and a bunch of old people by myself, or find a boyfriend by the second weekend in May. I am thinking that it will be the first one:).
So, I watched American Idol for the first time last night because they were doing Queen songs and I wanted to see how much they got butchered. It was kind of weird to be watching a television program with my mom. Aside from that, nobody should ever sing Queen songs unless your name happens to be Freddie Mercury or Robbie Williams.

I Will Buy You A New Life

So, I think I may have had a nervous breakdown this week. I made some pretty rash decisions. The funny thing is, that I don't regret the decisions that I made, but, how I acted upon them might not have been the ideal way. I just want to apologize to all those who might be mad at me. I am sorry, but I couldn't really control my head this week.
On a similar note, I am back living with my parents right now. I never thought it will feel so good to be back at home. I had to go back because my work decided that it didn't need to offer insurance to it's full time employees, and old medical problems have started to resurface over the past couple weeks. In order to get back on my parent's insurance, I needed to be living at home. I still don't have a room, and all my stuff is currently in our front room making our house look like a tornado hit it. My dad was so excited for me to come back. He bought me and my sister flowers yesterday. He is so sweet:).
Anyway, even though the beginning of this week was incredibly awful, I feel really happy right now. I feel like I did what was best for me, and everything seems to have worked out for the better.
