Dress

Ps. I still don't have your phone numbers. Please text me if you have mine. Don't forget to tell me who you are.

MJW as of late

HEY Y'ALL! I am back! I apologize for the really long absence. I MOVED!! After my long birthday post it was an endless slough of busyness. I moved out of Anna's house the first week of January. I finally got rid of my tineas corpus (i hate the generic term) which some of you know was a 4-month long trauma for me. I moved in with a coworker much closer to my job. I still take the bus (down to 30 minutes from 1 hour and 1/2 YAY!) but I am finally in the position to start saving money for a car. I just have one roommate and her cute dog, which is actually fun to have. So the point of all of this was to say that I don't have the internet in my new apartment. I have a smart phone now so I still have access, but I probably won't blog unless I come to the library. Other stuff: I stopped eating bread because it makes me sick, I am losing weight despite my 3 week birthday cake diet, I love my new ward and am playing basketball, I see Shanna whenever I can, I try not to talk about work outside of work because I feel too crazy, and I just made a new dress for my friend's wedding (one of the best weekends of my life!) Oh, and I am now 25. Prime of my life!

I know that proabably doesn't come close to the update some of you were hoping for, but we are now moving on to silliness.
I have learned the song Safe & Sound from "The Hunger Games" soundtrack. I have been obsessing over this song for a long time now. I know my voice is scratchy thanks to the cesspool I work in, but I had to post it before I saw another person bring it up on facebook. Because I don't want to be a spoiler of the story for some of you who have not read the series (Shanna, I am talking to you. Read 2 & 3) I will just say generally what I have said so eloquently and beautifully in my journal. Yes, I journal about this stuff.
I think this song was released way too soon. I think they should have saved it for the third movie. I think it captures the mood of the entire trilogy better than it captures Book 1. In my mind verse 1 is Katniss dwelling in the past. Verse 2 is Katniss singing to Prim. And then I think the end chorus is Prim singing to Katniss. I know I sound like one of those nerdy lumpkins right now who make up things in their mind and think they need to blog about it. Ok, I guess that is what I am. I have just never heard a song that I feel goes so well with the characters of the book. Anyways, I hope you like it and can hear past my vocal chords ruined from the constant coughing and hacking I do.
