I have a confession to make.

I am absolutely in love with Jackass. The movies, the shows, the boys, everything.

There. I've washed myself of this shame and can start the year anew.

What the crap was that last post?!

Hahaha!! We were obviously extremely exhausted.

That post doesn't even make sense! Colliona? I wanted to delete it simply because our lack of coherent eloquence is somewhat embarrassing, but I figured the world needed proof of our debilitation.

We're awesome. That's what posting in the middle of the night gets you. Seth said keeping a Mormon up way past their bedtime is the closest thing you'll get to seeing them drunk.

I guess when drunk, I try to wax poetic but fail miserably.

I just woke up. It's 12:30pm.

Awesome.

Colliona's Desires

I don't want drama, I just want our "normal" to be passionate and loving.

An intense, reciprocated love.

I just want someone who doesn't smoke crack.

Something about "I don't want to be that other girl...I am always the one that makes them realize that they want to be with that other person."

I am always the "other woman"... the one they wish they could be with but are worried may be a gamble.

Don't smell your hat in front of me.

I want a Mormon guy who isn't afraid to make the crap out with me. And want to make out all the freaking time (even if we don't actually do that).

I want someone to be as honest with themselves as I am. I want someone to be as honest with me as they are with themselves.

I want to talk about music and art for 59808 hours.

I want someone who thinks its funny when I try to be emotive. But doesn't tell me so!

Fiona and I are SO emo.

("Colliona" is an amalgam of Colleen and Fiona - we are both Geminis who are dramatic and intense, but smart and romantic. We make the best girlfriends because we are never boring and always sexy as H. It is 1:47 in the morning here in Austin, Texas, and we just wanted to type whatever random boy-centric thing that popped into our heads. We're serious when we say we make the best girlfriends, and as for me - Colleen - I don't even like saying I'm your girlfriend, which makes for a good thing if you are commitment-phobe, somewhat like myself. As for me, Colleen, I have no issues being committed if I feel romanced, but if I don't... eee... I am a hard one to deal with. As for Fiona, "I want other girls' boyfriends to stop saying I would make a great girlfriend. I want my own boyfriend to say I'm a good girlfriend." Colleen: "Word.")

Colliona again: Wow. It's late. I don't know what I want.

Chepo just called and wants to come over. It's 2 in the morning... jeez. Good thing my only plans tomorrow are going to the Alamo Drafthouse at like 9:45pm.

Don't take this post to heart or too seriously... we don't.

We are yawning. Nose sniffling. Coughing. Laundry-doing.

Make out with us. We're hot.

I don't understand why I have to love things that are 2,395 miles away.

I am sad to be leaving my parents. Bittersweet, I guess - I'm on my way to see all my siblings in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, then my friends in Austin, Texas.

Can I make an announcement? To whoever reads this in Boston, MA - I am going to need a whole lot of extra love when I get back. I don't want to ask for it and make a needy fool of myself... please just be my big spoon for a while.

I heart both Myers AND Briggs. ENFJ's FOREVA.

E=8 Extraversion
I=3 Introversion

F=16 Feeling

TEXAS IS THE BOMB DIGGITY.

So, I got back from Austin, Texas (home base) last night. It was amazing! My brother's graduation was excellent, and being with my ENTIRE immediate family was SO good. David (my brother) is officially a doctor. A PhD in Electrical Engineering from UT Austin. I am SO proud of him and his family for truckin' through 3289473928 years of school! Yay.

SO many highlights of the week - don't know where to start. I got to play the Wii with some of my Texas friends (I miss you all SO much already!!!), Kerbey Lane, oodles of niece/nephews time, siblings, parents, delicious food, etc.! It was so good to be with the fam, Bean, Juan, Fee, Mart, Nat (I didn't like sharing Nat with the BF, but it's all good... tee hee.)! Hooray.

I refer to that picture above (the one with my family) as "The Miracle." It has every single member of my immediate family, including BOTH sets of PARENTS! And... they are SMILING! WHOA! I couldn't believe it. It was totally normal to be hanging out with my whole family (this has only happened once before - my college graduation... they have been in the same room before, but NEVER smiling). MIRACULOUS! It felt really incredible, I must say.

So, I took 2839729874 photos in Texas - family, friends, sights, whatever. I uploaded them all to Flickr account. I also finally uploaded a few from a while back as well. So, if you're interested... there are A LOT over there. Check out the Flickr, yo. Do it. Pretend like you're interested in my life! (Also, the owl sweater referenced in the previous post is prominently featured... ha!) So many cute ones - I love my little niece/nephews! YES!

There were SO many people that I did not see that I CANNOT wait to see when I come to Austin again at the end of this month. I only had a few hours available this time, and everyone got to babysit my nephews! Here's the Christmas schedule:

El Paso: December 21 to 26
Dallas/Fort Worth: December 26 to 27
Austin: December 27 to 31

Also, I CANNOT wait for this! TMNT FOREVER. (I love B. Bop and RockSteady.)

Can you believe this is my life?!

I WAS IN THE SAME ROOM AS IMAN (wife of David Bowie and former supermodel and amazing woman in general) AND MAYA ANGELOU (you should know who that is for sure) FOR HOURS!

Can you believe this is part of my everyday life? I am SO blessed. I have detailed notes on my impressions and their words; my next post will come at you from the great state of TEXAS!

Teaser:

IMAN: "Can you believe I get my morning coffee from DAVID BOWIE?!" (Direct quote is forthcoming; can't find my notebook.)

MAYA ANGELOU: "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine..."

P.S. Prospect Hill Park in Cambridge (Somerville?), MA is GORGEOUS. And so is the young man who took me there.

I can't cook, but I can assemble.

I can't dance, but I can bob my head in rhythm.

I can't bake, but I can make things look pretty.

I can't write hot songs, but I can sing hotly.

I'm not that hilarious, but my laugh is extremely high-pitched.

I don't have a car in Boston, but I usually pay the tolls.

I can't come up with great lines of poetry, but I wax poetic when it comes to The Cure and Guns N' Roses.

I am not a size 2, but I look dead sexy in owl sweaters.

I can't say I don't complain, but I typically keep it to 3 people.

I am not a vixen, but I have learned how to play the part.

I don't always have smooth legs, but my hands are soft.

I don't have much money, but my only debt is my education.

I am not a Saint, but I am a pretty good Christian.

I can't settle down, but I hardly ever lose my cool.

I can't quote political statistics, but I do work to promote social equity.

I can't fix buttons, but I do know where good tailors are located.

I don't have clear skin, but I do have a clear conscience.

I don't have a perfect family, but I do love every single one of them more than myself.

I don't remember everyone's name, but I give spectacular hugs.

I am not the most popular person in the world, but I am fiercely loyal.

I can't do my own makeup or hair, but somehow it always looks decent.

I am not a scientist or mathematician, but I have a large vocabulary and can understand theory.

I don't have the same politics as typical LDS people, but I don't begrudge others their political beliefs.

I can't fully articulate my feelings, but I am extremely passionate.

I don't let people see how intensely I think, but I am a good listener.

I don't keep in touch that well, but I always say "I love you" (and mean it).

I don't allow myself to depend fully on other people, but I do like to cuddle.

Christmas List!

I want this belt buckle SO bad! It's made out of a real NES controller! Oh my goodness. Hotttttt. Juan had sent a link of the turbo version, and as cool as I think I am, I just don't think I could pull it off. And definitely not the phallic Atari one.

Last night, I went to see Casino Royale with Rachel/Seth/Mooney/Jen/Marie/Preston. DUDE. BEST BOND MOVIE EVER. SERIOUSLY. I freaking love Bond movies, and I have to say - I think this one's my fave. And... Daniel Craig (and even his hot ladies) gave me some serious excitement. Hah! The evening was a good time, even if I did get completely mortified on more than one occassion.

Can someone get me a $1,000,000 gift certificate to Urban Outfitters, please? I went there last night and there are some HOT clearance items. I got a yellow sweater with owls all over it. I am going to wear it to Church this Sunday. I call it my "Seth Cohen" sweater.

Also. It has come to my attention that some people may not immediately see where links are within my posts. Links are grey and bolded. The text is white and plain. My design may be flawed, but I'm not changin' the color scheme. At least not until St. Patrick's Day.
