Well, hello Blogosphere! I don't really know who reads this anymore, but that's ok. It's kind of like my way to piece everything going on in my life together. I'm pretty sure I butchered that sentence. Oh well.
Anyway, a lot has happened this past week. I have gone hiking, hung out with friends, and managed to get a boyfriend. Yeah, I'm in a relationship. It's been a while since I've been in an actual relationship. I like it. :) Brandon is a very nice guy and he treats me with respect. He also likes me a lot, so that's a plus. :) And...my family likes him. :) :) I have a feeling I will be happy for a very long time with Brandon. Hooray!
This weekend is the 4th of July. I'm totally stoked for it. :) I have plans for the whole weekend! And both Friday and Saturday night will be filled with good friends and awesome fireworks! :)
Well, I'm not really in the mood to write anymore. Peace. :)

Adventures
June has been quite the month. Despite it raining pretty much every freaking day, I find myself going on all sorts of adventures without the weather tying me down. :) I even went to Lagoon in the pouring rain. Well, it poured for at least a half hour, but my friends and I were all drenched after that incident. It was very interesting. Btw, I have gone to Lagoon a lot in the past two weeks.
But...
I hate rain. I'm really sick of it, and I just want summer to be more defined with sunshine and all that good stuff. I tried to go on one of my favorite hikes yesterday, but it was raining so much we had to turn back. We didn't even get to the destination. Nonetheless, I will accomplish that hike in nice weather.
On the bright side, this past Friday was a fantastic sunny, warm day. Luckily I spent most of it outside at the Gateway with my friend Brandon. It was so much fun and it was the perfect weather for browsing the shops at the Gateway. They even had a chalk festival going on, so it was cool to watch people draw pictures with chalk. :)
Speaking of festivals, I am going to the Utah Arts Festival on Thursday and I'm extremely excited. :) I've never been and I'm anxious to see how many cool works of art will be there as well as the symphony performances. It is going to be an radically fantastic adventure.
I finally played Badminton last night for the first time in like, three weeks or so. It felt so good. I missed it so much and it was nice to spend time with my Badminton buddies. :)
I need to start reading again. I've been so busy this past week that I haven't had time to read. I think I will start a book tonight and see how it goes. :)
Signing out. Peace.

Rain Rain go away
Seriously. Please go away. I'm tired of the rain. And thunder. And lightening.
I want to start my outdoor summer activities. Unfortunately, I can't because of the stupid weather. I need to get going on my hiking adventures so I can finally be in shape. I should probably start getting in shape before I go hiking...hmmm...we'll see. It's a great idea though, right? Not only is hiking one of my outdoor activities for this summer, but Lagoon as well. I am officially a 2009 season passport holder and I'm going to use it to the fullest extent. :) I'm sure it will be quite the adventure going with my fellow buddies who also have the pleasure of owning a pass. Even my sister has one, which is also a plus. Special sister-bonding time! Yay! :)
Moving on...
I'm catching up with an old friend. I'm very happy about this because, well, I missed this friend. I missed talking to this person and having those "deep conversations." Those conversations are good for the soul. Really, they are. I like talking to this person and I hope it will continue throughout the summer.
For those of you who don't know, I have a gecko. Yes, a gecko. To be more specific, a T-rex leopard gecko. And I love him to death. His name is Iggy and purchasing him was one of the most spontaneous things I've ever done. :) I like my spontaneous purchase. So yeah, I take care of him now. He's my pet and our family cat, Misha, absolutely loves him as well. It's quite entertaining.
I really enjoy board games. I hope this summer will consist of occasionally playing board games along with my other list of goals I need to accomplish this summer like, read at least 10 books, hike twice a week, go to Lagoon as much as possible, etc. I need to do all those, plus go to work. Making goals for this summer was probably one of the smartest ideas I've come up with in a long time. My time will be well spent as long as I have the motivation and drive. :)
As for now, I'm off. Peace and Love.

Now
I often forget to live in the present. I always think about the future...and it's like, why? I mean, it's not bad to think about the future. Thinking about the future is pretty helpful when planning what decisions one should make pertaining to a career and that sort of thing. I know in this society people think about the future when it comes to relationships. Like, romantic relationships. Not going to lie, I do it as well. And it can get really irritating.
I want a relationship where I can live one day at a time and not worry about what is going to happen eight months down the line...it causes unnecessary stress. If the relationship ends after a month or so, so be it. It will probably be tough at first, but hey we're all human and we all move on. Life goes on. The good memories shared with that person will still remain in one's head. Remember the happy times and the lessons learned. People often forget that concept and focus on the negative, which isn't entirely a smart idea.
Now, this is easier said than done because, well, we're human, not Vulcans (oh yeah, I just used a Star Trek reference). Emotions are sometimes more powerful than logic. It's...how it is. Unfortunately. Not saying emotions are bad, but it can definitely complicate logical ideas. I'm personally a very emotional person because one: I'm a girl, and two: I rely heavily on emotions. From my experience, let's just say emotion and logic aren't the best of friends. It's like, contradicting to say the least. Maybe that's why I'm such a contradicting person...who knows.
I wish emotion and logic could go hand in hand. But in my eyes, it's very difficult. Sometimes it can work out, but it never really does for me.
Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I'm just trying to get all this down in writing. Feel free to criticize or voice your opinion. I'd be happy to hear it. :)
