We were talking about Neil Patrick Harris and I asked her if she had ever seen pictures of his adorable kids. She hadn't, so I showed her a bunch. After stalking him on Google for a while, she asked me if he had a significant other, so I showed her a picture of David Burtka and said that they were engaged. And she was like, "Cool." She then noticed a picture of Beyoncé and started talking about her.
I worried that she would react badly to such shocking information, so I'm delighted that she was just so... normal about it. I'm not sure if that's because she's awesome, my family's awesome, or her generation's awesome, but I'm proud of her anyway.

Okay
This is what I've accomplished this week. It's adorable and you're not allowed to say otherwise.
It's a birthday present for my baby sister. She still only considers stuffed animals to be legitimate gifts. That, at least, makes it easy to know what she wants for her birthday.

Liebster Award
Hey dudes 'n' ladydudes. I got nominated for a Liebster Award! I don't usually do this stuff, but it came from my cousins, McCall and Brevin over at Snapshots, and I like them, so I decided to join in. Here are the large pictures for you to look at now.
11 facts about meeeeeee:
1. When I was little, my parents would ask me to "hold a hand" to cross the street. Not wanting to give up my freedom, I took advantage of the linguistic ambiguity of that phrase by holding my own hand to cross the street.
2. I've been an anonymous writer for a high school and a university publication.
3. I have mild synesthesia. Letters, numbers, words, and music have colors to me.
4. I love Nancy Drew computer games. They are so awesome. I was embarrassed of that for a brief period of time (the Dark Time, when I dated mean people), but then I was like, "You know what? Screw you! These games are fun."
5. My lil' sis is adopted, and we're twelve 'n' a half years apart. She's aaaaaaalmost taller than me now.
6. I'm a feminist. But you already knew that.
7. I am an extremely picky reader, a relatively picky movie watcher, and a not very picky television watcher.
8. I was nominated by my choir teacher in high school to go on a choir/band tour trip to Europe. And I went. (And so did my cousin, Brevin!)
9. Once, my roomie and I were at a play, and some dude pulled her on stage to dance, and she dragged me along with her. And verily, we danced with an attractive man to a weird version of this song. It was magical.
10. I wrote a scholarly paper on the word "jimmered" once for a linguistics class.
11. I did karate with my brother and dad during middle school and high school.

What up, blog?
I've been kinda preoccupied with my other blog, so I've neglected this one a bit. Plus, I haven't really had anything to say.
Know something awful? I only ever get good ideas for blog posts in the middle of the night. And if I don't write stuff down, it's gone forever, so I always get up and write out the whole thing at 2 AM.
I watched two documentaries yesterday: one was about the food industry, and one was about the world of film rating in America. The food one made me never want to eat meat again (but I know I probably will anyway). The film rating one simply reinforced what I already knew; it's a completely arbitrary system and people should use better qualifications than film ratings to decide if they want to see something.
I've already advertised it all over the place, but in case you didn't know, I'm on Pinterest now. You can follow me, if you want.

Maybe I'm craaaaazaaaaay
Okay. BYU peeps. Help me out here.
... Is today's easy sudoku in the Daily Universe IMPOSSIBLE, or did I just mess up somewhere? I've seriously tried solving it 3 or 4 times but I keep concluding that it can't be done.
*Edit: Um... I just figured it out. Never mind. Heh.

I love you, I've a drowning grip on your adoring face
I like wearing Jordan's jacket. It's like wearing a hug.
