Oh the joys of waiting...

So currently, I am learning (or attempting to learn) how to drive. Firstly, none of the video's work. Secondly, the ones that pretend to work don't actually work. Thirdly, in the time I was put on hold for the costumer service people to help me with my faulty videos, I went through a whole memory card of pictures deleting the ones I didn't like. Then I started this blog post. Then I checked my Facebook and became friends with someone, wrote on someone else's wall, and updated my status about how the world is out to get me. When I got through, instead of helping me fix the problem, they helped me go around the problem... so still none of the video's work... but there are nifty slides in between... I guess the point of this is that some day I will learn how to drive, but that day would not be today. Today is the day of being put on hold.

And because the life has been bugged out of me for not posting about my sisters wedding, I shall now do so. Shortened, Shortened, Shortened summary: They come, they eat, they leave.
Shortened, shortened summary: Pretty Pretty Pretty, treacherous shoes, nice people, good cake, good food, funny little people, no scary people, rigged bouquet toss.
Shortened summary: We had a picture party at the temple, went to the luncheon and ate fantastic food, then went to the reception and ate more fantastic food, along with fantastic cake, in a fantastic place, took some fantastic pictures, in fantastic weather, they cut the fantastically beautiful cake, then threw the fantastically rigged bouquet toss, played some fantastic music, in fantastic outfits, and then they left in a fantastically decorated car. it was very fantastic.
Summary: I woke up to find out that I was supposed to wake up earlier so me and my bride to be sister could watch the season 4 finally of Doctor Who (which if you watch the show, you know that its one of the best ones ever created), but because I didn't, I got to watch my sister get her already curly hair curled... It was confusing but it was very pretty afterwards so that's good. Then I got to sit around outside a temple with children... some a little more feisty than others. Then My sister and her hubby came out, and pictures were... very much so taken. After a short break, we went to the luncheon, with fantastic food... The rolls as I recall were beautiful. and so was the desert... very delightful. After that, we headed to the reception. It was a very beautiful place, with very beautiful food, and amazing cake. Much thanks must be given to the people behind the scenes bringing us the very beautiful food and amazing cake... and the mint lemonade. Sooo good. The daisies....OOOOHHH what fun were they? Have you ever ordered a hundred flowers for a wedding that all came the exact wrong color? ... we have. Orange Gerber daisies shouldn't be yellow.. or red. However if this is a problem you face, please know that floral spray paint does exist, and does work effectively. And its also fun to watch your grandpa play mother nature in the back yard with a can of spray paint. :) But yes, apart from the flower drama, there weren't any other too serious dramas unless you count the 8 year old cousins asking people why they didn't bring a present... that was entertaining. And the bouquet thing? ya... when you turn around and point at the person your aiming for... does it still work? mumblegrumblemumblegrumble... anyway. it was all just great, and the car was not wrapped in plastic! yay! Also yay for the extra cake... that is something that comes in handy...

So now that I'm done with the wedding, I shall now talk about the after math of my wisdom being taken by a crazy old man... who i think is a good person...
So I got in there... and they hooked me up to a heart monitor... which isn't a good idea... I kept trying to make the heart rate go up and down and seeing how low and high it could go... probably not the best... then they injected stuff into my arm that made me fell kind of like I was getting run over by a steam roller... but then I woke up... in a wheel chair... I wasn't quite sure how that happened... and I kept asking about it...and then I started sleeping in the car, which resulted in a dream about Hermione  naming her kid aluminum foil... I asked about that too. Then there was the pudding drama... I wasn't sure if I swallowed it or not...I guess I did. and at some point my neighbor brought me a frosty... not all of it landed in my mouth.. and my other neighbor brought me a butterfly... and then I smiled and waved at someone I saw get in a bike crash... lortab is a beautiful thing... except for when it makes you feel queezy. Any way that is all I can remember of the exciting stuff. That was pretty much it. And since this is turning into the longest post ever... I might add pictures... and my story of opera camp. :) oh the joys of a blog.

So Opera camp! Did you know that bee's hum exactly below a b and above a b flat? Or that alligators have perfect pitch? or how to find out if you have lock jaw? Or the Mongolian throat singing scale? All of these things and more can you learn if you go to an opera camp. Also... Rice cooks very very very slowly in a rice cooker if the electricity is on. That's something you learn if you are cooking for the opera singers at the opera camp. You also learn that you cant cut bread with a chopping knife, but you can chop with a bread cutting knife... You learn odd things at an opera camp; but the opera itself is very amazing and cool. And if you meet and opera singer, ask them to do their best witch laugh... they tend to be extremely good at it. :)

And just because I can, I'm also going to talk about Winnie the Pooh! because it was so good! Honestly, we were all dying in that theater. Not only was I fulfilling my childhood, I was watching Pooh bear strategically manipulating Owl into getting him some honey. It was a great, great moment in my life. Also the little cartoon before the movie starts? is hilarious. Its ok to cry... as long as you cry so much that you cry a lake and live in the lake... that's when its ok to cry. Great lessons they teach us these days.

So I fear that the longest post I've ever posted is coming to an end. So, I will now say good bye until I can upload some pictures of some pretty things I took pictures of just because I could. The End.

Life altering things.

So first item of business. Why cant you buy the score of Doctor Who on iTunes? I am a score nerd. I do love me some scores. Doctor Who's score just happens to be awesome. It buggeth me much. Second item of business. I am about to embark on a magical journey through a book called Dune... i guess its crazy that I haven't heard of it before now. I'm also reading another good book about how the education system is a nut job... and its a mess. Third item of business. I am going to become very, very unintelligent over this weekend... I'm getting put to sleep while some guy digs around in my mouth in search for my teeth of wisdom... and then he's going to steal them. I mean come on. That may very well be the only wisdom in my head right now. And he thinks he can just come in and take them for himself. Sick man.
Fourth and very most important item of business. This Friday the last of the Harry Potters comes out. A: I am so so so so so so very very very very excited. So extremely  excited that my friends and I are making it a seven hour deal... not including the watching the movie part. Plus there will be cake! You never turn down the cake. Ever. B:.... What are we going to do with ourselves after good ol' Harry's gone? Me and a random person I met today agree that the world will go into a long lasting void of depression... and wont be able to get out until something better comes... Which is a scary thought... something replacing Harry. OH WAIT. THERE ALREADY IS!!! haha I love Dr. Who. :).... and Winnie the Pooh.. I have to find a little kid to go with me so I don't look like a creeper when I get over excited to go to a show meant for children under six...
