Jennie as an elf, me, and Lisa as my wenchy buddy. My Hawaii friends with the exception of Stephen who could not make it due to work. Alas. 

Me and my nieces and nephews. Millie is a ballarina, Ben is a monkey, Haley is a giraffe, Amara is Tinkerbell, and Jacob is Buzz Lightyear. They were sooo cute! 

Me brothers and sisters. 

Me and Nemo. 

November

Has it come at last?
Will cold air blow?
Are memories of sunny days past?
Will it snow?
Will my heart ache for what once was?
Or will it beat without pause?

Will confrontations be mended?
Will I be torn?
Can a family be blended?
Will I mourn?
How can thankfullness be found?
My heart continues to pound.

I sail! Out on a boat, in the lake. Ahoy!

Okay really, I don't sail. I toss my cookies over the side like no one else can though! I should get a trophy for being best at that. And it could have my name on it and sparkles. But, I do love "What about Bob?" It is a good movie with great values. Or it is a funny movie that cracks me up, either one.
Other really good movies:
Action/SciFi

• Lord of the Rings, all three
• Serenity
• Harry Potter 1&2
• Fifth Element
• Spiderman 1-2
• X-Men 1-2

Chick Flick

• 10 things I hate about you
• You've got mail
• Never Been Kissed
• Ever After

Drama

• Phantom of the Opera
• Titanic (It's a classic!)
• ...Dramas are hard to think of

Comedy

• What about Bob?
• Clue
• Noises Off
• Labrynth
• Monty Python and the Holy Grail
• Napolean Dynamite

Okay, I can't think of any other dramas, but there are lots of good movies out there. Share, share.

HALLOWEEN! BOO!

Okay, after much debate and tribulation, I've decided that for Halloween I will be a pirate. But not just any pirate, oh no, a sexy pirate. Because what is a pirate without sex appeal? Not a pirate at all I submit!
Unfortunately, my ward party is this Saturday and I do not yet have my costume made, although I finally bought the pattern and the fabric. So, I am subsituting my last years costume for my ward party. I was a vampire last year, and a darn hot one at that. So, it will be nice to reuse the costume, makes me feel like I get my moneys worth.
I pretty much love Halloween, it is pretty much one of my favorite holidays. I love everything about it, I love pumpkins, I love carving pumpkins and eating their inards. I love corn mazes, haunted houses, dressing up, parties, the cold chill weather that comes with the month of October. Oh, and I love the candy.
So, what is your Halloween costume this year? What is your favorite part of Halloween? What are your Halloween plans?

The Best Things in Life Are Free

Some eighties song artist said it best: "I want money!" I realized today as I was reviewing my accounts. I don't have money. "How is this possible?" I ask myself, and then I reply to myself, "Because, you have too many bills." "Oh" I reply. And then I skip down my debt infested path. I've decided that it is too difficult to pay for a phone, a car, an apartment, food, and accutane. Something has to go. I'm thinking that the only expendable item on that list is food. Tragedy really, I always liked eating.
Well I guess the eighties should have lasted longer so that I could sing my crazy, techno, pop-money hit without feeling the complete dufus. Maybe, if I'm really lucky, I'll find $100 in my back pocket. Finding money in my pocket has to be one of my all time favorite things. That and Ben and Jerry's half baked. Too bad I had to give up food, otherwise I would go and get some. But if I find that hundred bucks, then it is Ben and Jerry's ahoy.
Until that time, I hope money finds it's way to you.

DOOM TO NAY SAYERS!!!!!

I DECLARE DOOM ON ALL THOSE WHO DO NOT SEE SERENITY THIS WEEKEND OF THEIR OWN ACCORD!
If you know about the movie, you should see the movie! Some peole don't know about it, they are forgiven, except that they should get out more because Serenity is everywhere, and they are therefore unforgiven!
SO!!! You must all go and see the movie. Stat.

Serenifreakinty

Well the time is almost here at last, the day that all of me has been waiting for. Serenity. The movie. The motion major picture of one of my top three tv shows, Firefly. I will of course be attending the midnight showing, along with three guests, who are devoted enough to me to come at midnight, not as much devoted to the show as devoted to me. We're very pretty.
So it is getting very close now. Closer and closer as a I type this and it will be even closer when you read this. I hope the anticipation is killing you, but I hope you wait to die until after you have seen the movie because it will all be worth it. Promise.
So, yeah, go see the movie. I'll be Inara by the way, Nat helped me decide on an outfit. That is all.

Blah blah blah You're a dirty Whore

So, my blog has been out of commision and this is a test of the emergency broadcast system.
This is a test and only a test.
Do no be afraid, turn off your computer screen or change your name for your own protection.
Please refrain from eating your own hair.
Those in Utah and Davis counties need to beware because bees will shortly attack your dogs.
That is all.

Long time no blog

I can officially be banded from regular blogging schedules, seeing as how it took me so dang long to post. I blame it on the lack of internetiness and school. Those darn teachers continually are giving me homework, lame.
I too face the question that attacks the minds of many like little minors raking their picks into my brain in painful succession. WHAT TO WEAR?
The Serenity Midnight showing is on the 29th of September at midnight at Jordan Commons in Sandy and to all of the three people who read my blog, you should come.
But I do not know what to wear. I'm going to pull a Natalie and ask the trailing crowds.
1. Buy a pattern and fabric and wear an Inara dress that appears in the movie.
2. Wear an asian shirt, put chopsticks in my hair and call it done.
3. Go as Inara and wear nothing.
4. Go to DI, find a dress that doesn't fit, mess up my hair, and go as River.
5. Wear Some People Juggle Geese T

You must decided, devoted fans that are me.
Oh and go see Serenity, it kicks.

208 Stairs

The first day of school is suppose to be exciting with a dash of fear. You are suppose to get to class a little late, get the syllabus and do a little meet and greet in each class. Today did not go as planned for me.
I got up early, so that I would be ontime to class, leaving me adequate time to find my class and find a parking spot. I had pre-found a parking lot that would be ideal for my needs, and then this morning happened. The first thing I tried to do was take 800N that was my first mistake. There is no left turn light on this intersection of 8th and Univ. so the line was a block long to turn and it wasn't really going anywhere fast. So I flip a U-y and head up Bulldog toward campus. Only to find traffic just as horrendous. I then finally reach my pre-arranged lot only to find it long past full and almost impossible to escape from. So, I go in search of an additional lot and traffic is stopping me and there are pedestrians everywhere, so I see a Y lot, as my parking pass designates, and I pull in to find it almost full, but I get a spot at the very back. I then cross the street to find my way to campus from this foreign lot. I see stairs going up a hill toward campus and I know that it is the only way to get up there unless I want to make a serious backtrack 1/2 mile. So I start going up the stairs from hell that do not seem to end, going slower than all the other students that are hopping up the stairs two at a time... HOPPING!!! I get to the top of the stairs and I can't breathe, I go for the inhaler, EMPTY. This is just wrong. I try to breathe anyway and it ends up with lots and lots of coughing. I get to my first class still out of breathe and for the first half an hour of class I am coughing every two to three seconds because my lungs are dying for an inhaler.
I go to my next class and I find myself once again faced with stairs, 37 to be exact, and they were just as unpleasant as the first set, if 118 steps shorter. I survive this, but my lungs remind me that they hate me. Next class, on the third floor, up another set of 15 stairs. Then not only do I have to come up these stairs, but I have to go back down. That means that I really took like 416 stairs today.
I don't remember what my teachers said or if I have a paper due tomorrow, I remember that everyday for the next four months, I am going to have to go up and down 208 stairs.
It goes on my list of reasons why I hate BYU. Slowly killing students, one stair at a time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA

Today is a beautiful day and not because it is Lisa's Birthday, because it isn't, that was a few days ago. But rather because today is Lisa's Birthday party. That I am throwing for her and she is going to have lots of fun or death will threaten her existence.
Because I love Lisa like a fat kid loves cake, I decided that I should throw her a Birthday party, celebrating her existence and her whorishness. The whorishness is only thrown in because it was decided to have a Moulin Rouge themed party complete with dressing up and chocolate dipped strawberries.
Cuz really, what is better than a chocolate dipped strawberry? I ask you this. And if you have no reply to this, then ignore it and run away fast.
Lisa is finally 21. She has entered the age of gambling and drinking, only neither of those things will be done at her party, sorry to disappoint.
Side note, if you weren't invited to the party, then that is because Lisa hates you and doesn't really want you to come because she made up the guest list, but if you were invited to the party, then you are an elitest and you should rub it in the face of others.
Turning 21 is a momentous event and should always be followed by a party. Most people don't believe in throwing themselves a party, they merely believe in sulking. I say no to that! I throw myself parties almost every year because I like myself more than most everyone else.
Well, Lisa has been a good friend to me, been with me through thick and thin, messy and sometimes clean, through television obsessions and stress brought on by spanish and through it all, she has been a shining beacon of Lisa.
And I would like to thank her for being herself and always being able to quote movies better than I can. I rely upon her for that and she has done it splendidly. Well, Lisa, I couldn't get all of your friends to come to the party, seeing as how they live in other states.
But I'm going to be there and that is what is important. See ya'll or most of ya'll there.

Probably Shooting Myself in the foot but...

Okay, so Mike and I went to my brother Jake's house on Saturday and then on Sunday I find out that both he and Jill are out of their minds sick with the stomach flu. So, Mike and I think that we are going to inevitably get sick as well. And we decide that we will watch me because I will most likely be the first to befall the dreaded sickness because my immune system sucks beyond the telling of it. Then, Mike calls me last night to tell me that I am feeling sick, which I am not, but he is. So Mike is sick with the stomach flu and I am not. Quary.
So, do I expect to get sick in the very near future? Click my heels and tap my toes because my immune system apparently rocks? Or do I do the noble thing and nurse my sick brother back to help, thereby insuring my sickness to come?
Right now I'm dumbfounded that I have lasted this long without getting sick. It is always me that gets sick, ask anyone. And I seem to always get sick on a holiday because I have the luck that during my vacation, I will inevitably get sick and therefore not be able to enjoy my time off. With school less than a week away, I think that it will be my luck that I would get sick the last week of freedom, thereby disenabling me to spend my last week in funville. Not that I had fantastic plans or anything, but what could have been...
Update:
Justin reported sickness tonight and I remain unsickified. I felt a little nausiated yesterday, but had some ginger tea(of the herbal variety) and all was well. How is it that I am not sick? I wonder if Nancy has been infected as well...

Booster Bash

I never posted about Booster Bash.
And I never will.
Pictures of the Bash below.

Me and Mercedes McNab. She is a very little person. 

Me in front of Sunnydale High School 

Me and Claire on the bus to the Key Club to see Kane and Common Rotation in concert. This is the only picture on the trip that I like of myself. 

Best picture ever! Me, Clare Kramer and Julie Benz. They just got done doing a Q&A and me, and one other guy were the only ones who got pictures. They are so tiny, but very cute women. Julie Benz cracks me up! 

This is Me, Monique, and Kitty at the notorious "Froggy Party" which wasn't hosted by Froggy and neither did Froggy attend. Everyone drank and I watched it was boring. 

This is me at Sunnydale High trying to do a Giles tree smash without actually having to run into the bug infested tree. Ignore the girly hand going on there. 

Here is Claire and I sporting our T-shirt and boose that we won by doing the scavenger hunt. Only two people entered and we were first out of two. I gave the Vampire Wine to Natalie, if you ever want some Translvanian imported wine, see her. 

Here is Claire (My Booster Bash Buddy) and me at the dance the first night. She's slightly british, but don't fault her for that, fault her for the fact that she now lives in Texas. 

This is me at the Cemetary where much of Buffy is filmed. Morbid much? 

Vegas Baby!

Went to Vegas this weekend and had buckets of fun. Me, Mike and Marie saw Blue Man, which I had seen twice before, but it was just as good seeing it the third time. The best part was Mike's reaction to everything. Classic. He was laughing and hollering and singing and it was a pleasant evening. I also saw the most amazing show that ever was. It is Cirque Du Solei's new show at the MGM, Ka. It is like no other Cirque Du Solei that I have ever seen. It was all martial arts and really different, complete with snow and shadow puppets. I would see it again, I would see it five times and it would be new every time because there is just so much to look at. It was amazing. In conclusion, I like Vegas, I love my parents for taking me, and I love my brothers and sisters for being chums to hang out with.
I have realized that in my family, all of us siblings are very close. We are friends and we like hanging out with each other and even choose to do it of our own accord without parental forcing. My sisters and I are very tight knit. I don't know what I would do with out my two best friends of Marie and Sarah. I get along pretty well with the sister in laws too. Jill and I are good friends. I scrapbook with her once a month and I see her for vampire game as well. I like being chumy with siblings. I dislike contention, and I can't imagine my family being one of those ones where the siblings go and get married and only talk to each other on Christmas and Easter. No thanks, me, Sarah and Marie have a plan. We are going to live together in our old age after our husbands have died and Marie will have cats and Sarah will have imaginary friends and I will have food. It is a good plan.

Kelli, Clare Kramer, and me. She is very little, but nice. Funny story, the day before this she was wearing a sun dress and the strap broke. It was funny because the same thing happened on the set of Buffy. She shouldn't wear straps. 

Me and Seth freaking Green. How flipping cool is that? 

Me and Adam Baldwin. I'm standing next to Jayne! He's my favorite. 

Me and Ron GLASS! Ignore the doublechinniness. 

The girls at Comic Con. Or rather two blocks from Comic Con in front of a bunch of water and palm trees. I'm the tall one. 

SARAH WINS!

The count is in and Sarah wins the Becky's sayings contest with a whopping 26 correct answers!
And now, the surprise prize is....THIS PICTURE OF A HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL!
I know, it is an awesome prize, but if you are not satisfied with it, you can take what is behind door number one, or A SHINY PENNY! Which I could not find a picture of, so please see me for your prize if a shiny penny is chosen.
I'd like to thank everyone for participating. You all did a fine job and showed your knowing Becky skills. I'm so proud.
I would like to invite the crowd to either praise or shun Sarah for her winnings and invite all to tell a little about Sarah and maybe throw out some of her sayings.
Thanks for playing, NAME-THAT-SAYING!
Good afternoon, good morning and goodnight.

Marie is in the Lead

Seeing as how Marie is in the lead in the "Becky's Sayings" contest, I decided to tribute her by putting some of my favorite Marie sayings.
"LITTLE!"
"Becky you need to clean"
"Ba-by"
"Shnookle lookle look look"
"Chwistian"
"Millie!"-Since Millie is her favorite, she does say her name an awful lot and she says it with the same intonation.
"Hmm"(In a snooty sort of defiance tone)
Okay, that is all I can think of currently. But since I have power to change my post at will, when I think of more, I will post.

LANS! When was the last time I posted?

I've fully prepared myself for a flogging with a ritual witch burning afterward for my lack of bloggingness. Okay, so much has happened since my last post. For one, I've been to Serenity again, the final of all final versions and I loved it even more than the first two times that I saw it. In addition, I also went to Comic Con and met the entire cast of Serenity minus Alan Tudyk, plus Joss Whedon. It was rollicking good fun. I also got to see David Boreaneaz, Charisma Carpenter and got an autograph from Seth Green. I saw Amber Benson and Nick Brendon too, but I have seen them before, so it was like a repeat. I'm so tired from my jaunt to Comic Con down in San Diego, I can only hope to recover with either tons of sleep or no sleep whatsoever. We will just have to see which one will win.
In addition, be sure to congradulate my adorable and highly moneybags sister Marie on buying her second home. She moves in this weekend and I am looking for roomies, so if you want to live with me in Marie's condo, speak now or forever sleep in the dark! Oh, but girls only, sorry Justin. Until I find roomies I am all alone in the condo which is going to be the opposite of fun and without Lisa to keep me alternative company, I'm not really sure what I am suppose to do with myself! I Miss You Like Pancakes Lisa! So wish me luck in my new condo adventures.
Further more, I'm going to Booster Bash next week, which I am kinda regretting now because I'm all conventioned out for the summer, but nonetheless, I am going. It will be rollicking fun with a dash of cinnamin I am sure.
Now onto the main event, which is Me polling the crowd. I've got through many sayings in my time, my latest being "flip," "fliberty gibbet," and "lans!" So, as an audience poll, I want you to recap Becky sayings, I know I have many, so name as many as you can. And the person that can name the most Becky sayings acurately, gets a prize. (Prize is a surprise).
Ready...
Set...
GO!!!

Serenity Screening Report

Okay this is my NON-SPOILER report. So for those of you who saw the movie with me, NO spoilers.
I had a blast last night, although I am still reeling from the lack of lots of sleep. Everything went splendidly last night with the exception of some of the Serenity flans lacking in enthusiasm and love for Joss Whedon. But I had fun, the movie was wonderful, I'm glad that all my family and friends that I invited could make it. And I'll report other stuff later because I have to get back to work.
Joss Whedon Rocks!

Becky-

My sister Marie and me waiting in line. You can kinda see the T-shirts that I made. Marie's incorrectly says "I can kill you with my brain" and mine says crashing Fandango. 

My Brother Jake and his wife Jill came to the screening as well. They are native Firefly fans. They saw it when it was originally on TV and liked it. Now that is dedication. 

Me, Kelli, Nat, and Monique. It was great to have all of my original Con buddies there, especially my not so seen ones Kelli and Monique. Monique looked so pretty! 

This is me taking a picture of myself. I'm pale, but look at my cool button. 

This is Nat and I in front of the Theater. I kinda look like a freak of nature, but what are you gonna do? 

Salt Lake Serenity Screening. Classic. This is the banner with not so many signatures. Ignore the tacky donation cup. 

Only You Can Save Toby!

Justin tipped me off to this site and i believe it to be a noble cause. Toby is the cutest bunny in the world and I don't want him to die. I call upon my friends who are truest and dearest to me to gather strengths to save this little rabbit from inevitable death. So please, click on the title link and find out about Toby and I hope that your heart will reach out to him as mine has. Hold on Toby, hold on! You have the heart of a champion!

Tragic update! Toby's site was gotten! For unknown reasons, someone wants Toby to die and they have torn down his site to do so. Why? Why do people want Toby to die? I ask you this. Who would tear down Save Toby to lead to his inevitable death? It is a sad sad world we live in. Don't give up hope readers, continue to try to access SaveToby.com and maybe, just maybe, we can still save Toby.

For those of you who don't know already. Toby is a bunny. And Toby is going to be eaten on the 30th of June 2005 if the owner doesn't raise $50,000 by that date. The owner of the bunny will eat him. And it will be all our faults because the money wasn't raised. Toby has 10 days left to live and there is only 28,000 dollars raised. And I know that with my help and with your help, we can still save the little guy from an early death.

SERENITY

Okay, so on June 23rd, I am making that trek once again to Serenity. Only the trek will be more of a meander and it will cost a lot less. To the fortunate few who I have given or sold tickets to, I hope that you are as excited as I am to go and see this wonderful movie. It was good the first time and I am sure the second time it will dazzle and amaze me just as much. Oh and for those of you who are coming with me, i.e. MIKE, you darn well better be on time or I swear I will sell your ticket to the first passer by so that I won't be late getting into the movie! Beware!
Oh and Serenity rocks!

T-Shirt Ideas

Okay, I had an inspiration. Nat and I need T-shirt ideas for our Serenity experiences. So, I found a site to help us out and I created a T-shirt that signifies the Serenity pre-experience. Click on the title to see the shirt.
Other possible ideas:
Joss is Boss
I worship Joss Whedon
Joss is my master

Other ideas are welcome.

Can Someone hit me with a Car Please?

Is there such a thing as ridiculously tired? It seems that that is what I am, ridiculously tired. I sleep at night at least a good 6 1/2 to 7 hours and then on weekends I get even more sleep because I sleep in to unspeakable hours and yet I am still exhausted. I don't think there is ever a way to catch up on sleep. I will forever be tired forever. I'm just waiting for that day when I wake up and there is no grogginess or impending doom of the day to come, but rather a light and elated feeling. But alas that that has not occured as of recent. I feel that someone should be blamed for this and it is the sandman. Either he is using too much sand on me or not enough and he should really be beaten into submission like that one time on Power Puff Girls. But there are no more Power Puff Girls because Sarah dyed her hair purple and Bubbles is lost to us. I hope you are happy Sarah!
Well maybe what we really should do is have an audition for new superheros to save me from the sandman. So take a number, get in line and strut your superheroey stuff.
