KISS: Keep it simple, stupid. Great advice. Hurts my feelings every time.

Day three: A picture of the cast from your favorite show.

The Office. 

Everyone loves it now. 

And I hate to be THAT person, but I totally loved it before everyone jumped on board. 

When I was in Jr. High and high school, I was pretty much known for my unhealthy obsession with The Office. I had an equally unhealthy (if not more so) crush on John Krasinski. Before Jim and Pam became Jim and Pam, I would spend so many hours watching fan-made YouTube videos about them. I could quote any episode, and peg a quote no matter how obscure it was. I would TiVo a late night talk show anytime there was even the slightest mention of the show or any of it's cast members. It seriously occupied my thoughts for the majority of every day. 

Now that I've told you a slightly embarrassing part of my past...

Luckily I'm not like that anymore. It probably wasn't the best thing for me to be doing. 

And even though I'm not the faithful watcher of The Office that I once was, it's still my answer when I'm asked, "What's your favorite TV show?" It holds a special place in my heart. 

And I still have an unhealthy crush on JKras. :)

For your reading pleasure, here are some of my favorite Office quotes:

"It happened on company property WITH company property, so we're fine." -Michael

"I don't think you know what double jeopardy means." -Ryan

"Sorry...what IS 'we're fine'?" -Michael 

"Yeah, I went hunting once. I shot a deer in the leg. Had to kill it with a shovel...took about an hour. Why do you ask?"-Dwight Schrute 

"I've been Michael's number two guy for about five years. He's like Mozart and I'm like...Mozart's...friend. No! I'm like Butch Cassidy and Michael...is like Mozart. You mess with Mozart, you're going to get a bullet in the head, courtesy of Butch Cassidy!" -Dwight Schrute

"I suggested we flip a coin, but Angela said she doesn't like to gamble. Of course by saying that, she was gambling that I wouldn't smack her." -Pam Beesley (Halpert)

"I come from a long line of fighters. My maternal grandfather was the toughest guy I ever knew. World War II veteran. He killed 20 men and then spent of the war in an Allied prison camp. My father battle obesity and blood pressure all his life...different kind of fight." -Dwight Schrute 

"Andy Bernard does not lose contests, he WINS them...or quits them because they're unfair." -Andy Bernard

"I wish I could help, but I can't. Well, I can...but won't. Should--but shorn't." -Michael Scott

"C'mon, Michael." -Kevin Malone

"What part of 'shorn't' don't you understand, Kevin?" -Michael Scott

Day two:  A picture of you and a person you've been close with for awhile.

Chelsea Johnston. I have been friends with this girl since before I can even remember. From the time our moms visit taught together when we were two ("There are babies on the ceiling!") to now, where we're both grown up and going to college and being adults. She's been there for me through thick and thin. We've had a lot of thick, but I think the thin shines through. I think I've laughed my very hardest with Chelsea. We have COUNTLESS inside jokes and I'm so grateful to have such a funny, beautiful, awesome friend in my life. :)

Thirty Days

I've been doing a poor job of posting on my blog.

 The main reason for that is simply this: writer's block.

 However, I recently started reading my future sister-in-law's blog, and she is doing a "thirty days of introduction"...thing.

Each day is paired with a picture and something to write about it. Naturally, I'm stealing this idea. So, thanks, Lauren, for unblocking my writers block. :)

 Here is goes: Day One: A picture of yourself with fifteen facts.

Facts: (I realize that I already have a blog post with fifteen facts. I'll try to make them different for you few people that regularly read my blog.)

1. Sometimes I miss being blonde. Then I thinking about going back, and I don't think I'd ever actually go blonde again.
2. I've lived in Utah my whole life and I've only been to one of the awesome national parks we have.
3. I'm an English major that happens to be a horrible speller.
4. I've always wanted to be a twin.
5. I love dogs. I've always known this, but lately I've been making Kameron look at pictures of dogs and I literally freak out while looking at puppy pictures. We're talking involuntary squealing, people.
6. I hate shopping for pants.
7. I will rarely make a semi-big/big decision without asking the opinion of someone I trust.
8. I'm not a drink-the-milk-after-you-eat-cereal kind of girl.
9. I believe there is no greater feeling than to laugh so hard you can't breath.
10. I have a fairly large collection of Beanie Babies.
11. If I have a lot of things to get done, I'll usually resort to doing none of them. I'm more productive when I have one or two tasks to accomplish that day. Otherwise I just want to sit around and forget about stuff.
12. I LOVE finding new music.
13. I don't mind when people say "Legit" but I can't stand when they say "Legitly." Just say "Legitimately." Please.
14. I'm not the biggest fan of chocolate.
15. I love to read, but do it near enough.

There you have it! The start of my 30 day...thing. (And I just realized I'll have to finish this in Austria. Crazy.)
