Story time
So Alix got on her lovely computing device and found the song and downloaded it. Once it was downloaded she fell asleep cuz she was very tired from doing her usual awesome things all day. A few days leter she turned on her computing device to listen to her recent download. Within seconds she realized something was terribly wrong. The lyrics she had first heard on the radio were edited and very different from the lyrics now on her computing device. The song now sang: I'm so addicted to all the things you do when your going down on me inbetween the sheets. Alix quickly turned the song off and deleted it. (MORAL OF THE STORY: don't download songs with radio edits..it might turn out bad)
THE END

Blogging Once Again
If you can handle it..and don't feel bad if you can't cuz I believe it takes 2 people with a lot of talent..staying friends with your ex is very beneficial. If you truly love and care about someone why would you suddenly stop feeling that way just because of a break up. A break up is a "we don't work romantically" escape route, but does that mean you have to stop caring just cuz you stopped making out? I definately don't think so. Blair is actually the only person I've been able to stay friends with after a break up. I've been through a lot with that kid. Almost 2 years of shiz. I think its silly to spend that much time opening your heart to let someone in and getting to know someone just to allow them to leave you life forever down the rode. I either tell him too much or not enough..but I really am grateful for his friendship. I'm very gratefull that after all we've been through we can still laugh at eachother. Thanks Blair.
Listen Up!
Some people..in fact a select few..go through certain trials that are hard. Hard being an insufficient term to describe some of these trials that seem unbearable. Eventually those trials pass and the person realizes the good in those trials. They learn from them, are made stronger by them, and eventually become thankful for them.
However, at the time, these trials are horrible experiences that bring many tears, regrets, and even hateful feelings. I am nnot a troubled soul, but I have experienced a few "tragedies". I have grown from them and they are in my past. They have made me the person I am today and I have learned many lessons from them. I am even grateful to have learned those lessons in my life. After going through what I've gone through I feel like I can be a better shoulder to cry on for the people around me that have faced the same hardships. And I hope that I can be an example to my children so they will not make the same mistake.
Even though I have made it out alive, there was a time when I didn't think I would. A time when I cried a lot and it literally hurt to be dealing with everything. I have many friends and like any human I tried to rely on them to comfort me. A few of my best friends found the right words to say that gave me the extra strength I needed to pull through. But, the majority of the people around me gave me the "cookie cutter" answer: "Everything will be ok. Just have faith and pray about it. You don't need to be upset, you just need to have faith."
After surviving my short comings I would like to throw something out there. FAITH and FEELINGS are not the same, however they seem to often be confused for the same thing. People often think that when something bad happens to you all you have to do is pray about it and then everything will be ok. It is true that our faith and prayer help us to overcome our obstacles. However, just because we have faith in Heavenly Father doesn't mean we have to forgo our feelings. We are allowed to feel. We are allowed to be sad when something bad happens to us. We are allowed to hurt. When something bad happens we are allowed to let ourselves think for a brief moment that everything sucks and it isn't fair.
If we weren't allowed to feel any of these things, Heavenly Father wouldn't have given us the ability to feel. But we were given that ability. I am not saying that when something bad happens you should slump around with a depressed expression on your face and an "I hate this world" attitude for the rest of your life. All I'm saying is you can have faith: faith that everything will be ok, faith that this is happening for a reason, faith in Heavenly Father, yes you can have all the faith in the world, and it is STILL OK for you to be upset. It is OK to cry and be angry and hate what is happening to you.
I am here to say to you that if anyone tries to tell you to brush off your feelings and just pray about it you can tell them to shove off.
And if you are one of the ones who likes to use the "cookie cutter answer" let me just say that even if you do believe no one should be sad and they should just have faith there will come a day when you will want to be sad and when you go looking for some sympathy just remember you "cookie cutter answer", suck it up, and go pray.
*Disclaimer*
I don't mean to be rude or offend anyone, I am just opening the eyes of the naive.

Some Good Advice
Today I was whining (once again) about having to be at work. Shelby gave me some advice that seemed a little odd. She told me to compliment 40 people and let her know how my night went when I was off work. Ok I didn't actually complitment 40 people. I actually didn't even keep count, but it did make a difference. Even though customers and coworkers were screaming and yelling I found that turning things around and positively speaking with someone who was upset their attitude was changed. I felt better and they felt better.
I also realized 3 things tonight. The first thing I realized was how important it is to lead by example. By now all of my coworkers are aware that I am mormon. They don't judge and they have gotten to know and understand me as a person. But I haven't been doing my part. I have a slight tendencacy to act like a sponge almost. I soak up the people and the environment I'm in and then I spit that back out. But I realized tonight that that's not why I'm here. If I truly beleive in my church and want to spread that word I should be acting as an example to my coworkers. Even if they don't join the church they would see my example and have a good wholesome opinion about LDS members. So I made a goal earlier today that I would try to be more Christ-like and carry the Spirit with me for others to see instead of stooping to a level I don't want to be at.
The second thing I realized was that I have amazing friends. I understand that I can be whiny when things don't exactly go my way and I get that I vent about ridiculous things that really no one cares about. But I have friends who love me through thick and thin. They advise me, keep my standards high, love me, and they're always there when I need them. Today I went to Junior's farewell and as I sat surrounded by people I love and care about I realized that I am truly blessed for finding such an amazing group of friends.
My last realization is pretty simple and a little silly. DON'T BURN SALT CITY CANDLES DIRECTLY UNDER THE SMOKE ALARM. I tend to be a night owl and I was cleaning my room tonight while the rest of my family was asleep. Suddenly out of no where this loud annoying sound went off. When I looked up at the candle I realized the flame was HUMONGOUS! I quickly blew it out (which was stupid for so many reasons). My whole family woke up in a panic thinking our house was burning down. And now even though they've gone back to sleep I feel incredibly stupid and I can't go sneak out in my kitchen for some sherbet. So sad.

Twilight
On another note. I can't wait to start shopping for my house. I will be moving in in about 4 months and I'm so excited to get to decorate. So I think when my roommate/besite: Linds get's in town we will start shopping. Because let's face it..if we wait till we move in to buy all our stuff we'll never be able to afford anything. Then our sad little house will be empty. :( Sad
Ok one last thing before I go..I am watching TV and this twix commercial came on.. Ya know those ones where the guy says something stupid and he's gonna take a moment to chew it over with twix. K well i was watching the one where the guy's at a party and he's trying to pick up this girl and he asks her to come back to his apartment and she freaks out. So he takes his "moment" and then he says something along the lines of..I thought you were a believer..someone who would want to blog about their ideals. K and the girl freaks out and is like "OMG I LOVE BLOGGING!" K that commercial is totally escence of Shelby! She's so funny but that girl is a blogger like no other! Hahaha Love you Bizzle!

This is an actual comversation I just had with someone who is a complete idiot. I don't care who you are, what you believe, or how you live you life, but don't you dare tell me how to live mine. Don't try to justify to me that sleeping with people, wearing practically no clothes, pole dancing for dollar bills, and surrounding yourself with beer and cigarettes is the right way to earn money. I don't care if I'm dirt poor and close to living on the street I would never for any amount of money subject myself to lowering my standards just to get by. Because in the long run you can't take you money with you when you die. And that money that you degraded yourself to earn is going to be worthless. No thanks idiot. I'll earn my money the dignified way and in the end when no one wants to pay to sleep with you anymore because your just a dirty whore I'll be the one with the true happiness. I'm glad that your happy with your car, house, and "fancy" job, but listen here..I've got all that and the happiness and fufilment from life that your money can't buy you! So stick that in your juice box and suck it.

Some New Stuff
GOAL #1
I am making a goal to take more pictures. This may seem silly, but I have a weird camera phobia. I love love love taking pictures and having new pictures. However, I always feel weird taking pictures. I feel like if I pull my camera out someone's gonna say, "Who's the weirdo with the camera?" Or I feel like if I ask someone to take pictures with me they're gonna say NO! OMG that would be tragic.
GOAL #2
Expand my fashion. I plan on doing this a couple of different ways. One way I'm going to do that is by buying a pair of really cute boots. I've been looking for a good pair of boots since last winter and I have yet to find them. This year I'm going to find them! Also I want to find a really cute jacket. I have a habit of wearing sweatshirts everywhere. Which is fine..but I invest in really cute shirts and then they get covered up by sweatshirts. So thats just dumb. I need a cute jacket so that I can be warm and fashionable. K and my last thing is low lights. I was reading an article a couple months ago and I read that if you put low lights in your hair on the middle layer of hair (like not the top but not the very botton aka the middle) it makes your hair looks fuller and longer. BINGO! Exactly what I want.
GOAL #3
Finish Christmas shopping early. I'm starting tomorrow so this should be an easy goal to accomplish. The reason for this semi-ridiculous goal is every year I spend a ton of money on myself. Then when it's about 2 weeks before Christmas I pinch every last penny to get the bare minimum for my family and friends. Well this year instead of being totally selfish I have decided to spend that money on my family. I'm also making a ton of extra money right now because my new job is getting ready to open so I've been working extra hours that I won't be working in December.
So there you have it. I have gotten in the habit of writing very long posts. So I am very sorry if I am boring you with my life.

Fresh & Easy
That is Shelby's dinner plate full of dessert. Oh my. Ok so after we dominated the buffet we drove down to my g'mas. On the way there this SUV full of guys kept staring at us. So Shelby decided to blow them kisses and jazz and I swear they tried to turn around and follow us, but they couldn't. Sad. Haha. K so my g'ma kinda lives in the ghetto so the whole way there Shelby is like pointing out these people and talking in her ghetto fab voice...so funny. So we finally get to the house and we walk in the door and my g'pa says "Oh is this your boyfriend?" Bahahaha. OMG I laughed so hard. On the way home we talked in our ghetto fab voices. It was hilarious. When we got to the fresh & easy Shelby says "That's what you are Alix, Fresh AND easy!" Har Har very funny lol. But really it way funny. The last thing we did was sang country songs in our hick accents. Country is amazing by the way. If you disagree your an idiot. Anyways I have work soon. WHOOP!

FUH BUCKETS aka Just Another Song Lyric
So like most music junkies I live my life and play a soundtrack to it in my head on a regular basis. I have a song going in my head just about every second of everyday. Well tonight the song that was playing in my head was "I Miss You" by Blink 182. In the second verse of that song it goes "And we'll have Halloween on Christmas, and in the night we'll wish this never ends, we'll wish this never ends." Well we decided to take this lyric and do it a little backwards and have Christmas on Halloween. Instead of dressing up, trick o treating, and getting sick from eating so much candy, Me Shelby Mitch and Kealian entertained ourselves by rockin out to Christmas music. Well actually Mitch rocked out, Kealian was practically molested, Shelby drew pretty pictures, and I laughed my butt off. It was so much fun. The neighbors probably hated us but we all had a good time. The night ended with a hug fest between me and Shelby..haha..well kinda lol. All in all the night was awesome and a bit out of the ordinary (which is exactly how I love living life)
BTW...we're told to learn something knew everyday. Well I would like to enlighten everyone on what i learned tonight.
Being called a poop stain is much worse than being called a poop. This is because the poop stain is always blamed far worse than the poop. The poop can take place outside, completely away from the house and be drug in by some outside force such as a pet or person. But once that poop comes into the house and becomes a poop stain everyone goes insane and starts yelling and screaming all because of a poop stain. BUT everyone seems to forget that the poop stain wouldn't even be there if it weren't for the poop making a poop stain far worse than a poop. So if you ever get called a poop stain just remember this little tid bit of information. (courtesy of Mitch Hawk)
