Update

So, I don't have very much time, I'm on my lunch break at home, but I wanted to give you all a quick update on how the date went...it was so much fun. he's a really nice guy, and I hope we go out again soon. More juicy details later....I promise!

Weekend Plans

So...I am going on a date tonight. Kinda funny how this all came about, but I am excited. Lets think about this for just a minute...in the last 7 years (that's how long I've been old enough to date) I have been asked out by 4 guys. I've been out on more than 4 dates, but only 4 guys have asked me out. And, none of them were terribly great experiences (Guy #4 is the reason God tricked me into going on a mission) so here I am. Post mission, just figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life when my cell phone rings on a Thursday night. I don't know the number but decided to answer it any ways (its a new phone, I don't have everyone's number in it). I answer it and its a guy named Dan. He was in my Dating and Courtship class that ended the day before. Apparently he had wanted to talk to me after class, but I didn't really stick around, I just left with my friends. So, he talked to our teacher who gave him my number and he was calling to see if I wanted to go out on a date...........................yeah..................my jaw almost hit the floor. So, I'm going on a date with Dan tonight and I promise to give all the juicy details tomorrow.

Okay, Amy...you win...here you go:

So, I did have my story up for a couple days, but because I just don't trust people I took it down and if you want to read it, just send me an e-mail at: suzy.petersen@live.com and I will e-mail you a copy!!!

The Weekend

So, I thought I was done talking about Twilight, but one final word....holy crap. The whole series was worth reading (in my opinion) for the final book. Pretty much everything cool that you have been waiting three books for happens in the fourth one. That's all I'm going to say. It was good. If you like the books, that is.

In other news...I have been writing a lot lately. I'm thinking of posting part of one of my stories up here, but I'm not 100% sure yet...I'm a very self conscious writer and it tends to be a problem when I let other people read it because I know all the flaws and I'm sure that everyone else will see them and not like my stories and what not, so...there it is. I'll keep you posted.

A Quick Word about Twilight

I didn't want to really write a whole lot about Twilight, but let me just mention it this one last time and then I'll try not to mention it again, but I think you will all get a kick out this.
So...I am going to get Breaking Dawn at midnight tomorrow and I'm going with some friends. They want to go to Barnes and Noble to get it, but I just don't know if I really want to be around all the super OCD fans, though. I mean I know when we go there that I am going to walk in and see 3 Edwards, 5 Bellas, a handful of Jacobs, probably an Alice or two, maybe even a Carlisle or an Esme. I don't know why it affects me so much that people dress up for these types of things...maybe its all the wasted time. I mean I can't really say much because I spent all of last week reading the books, but I still forced myself to be productive...even if it was just a little bit. I guess its because I can't fathom spending that much time wishing a fictional character/story were real life.
My best friend recently spent a few months in Ukraine doing a study abroad and she said that all the girls were reading Twilight and talking about it non stop and one of the girls said "I just wish Edward would come and take me away!" and I thought to myself, "Wow". I have heard and read a lot about the Twilight series this last week and I just find it interesting what people are saying. Maybe I'm just a heartless jerk, or maybe I just don't understand, but I think people are kinda crazy devoting their lives to these fictional stories...I mean they could put that effort towards so many things. I don't know, maybe I'm just a little OCD myself since I will be in a bookstore somewhere around midnight purchasing my own copy of Breaking Dawn and I will be turning my phone off and locking myself in a room until its finished so no one can bother me...but I know when its over that I'll just go do something else and not dwell on it....hmmm....interesting.

Oh no, I'm turning into B!!!

I decided that I hated my layout and background...so I'm trying something new. What do you think? I love paisleys, and this one screamed my name!!

So, it has been a while since I posted...sorry about that. My life has been oh so "exciting". Well, to begin, I started reading the Twilight series which I was so incredibly skeptical about and ended up addicted to them and I feel like I'm going through with drawls while I wait for the last book to come out this weekend. I will say this, though, I can see why people wouldn't like them. I'm not telling you their the best books ever, or that you just have to read them or you're not a good mormon...no, I wouldn't say that at all...in fact I know a number of people who don't like them because they aren't very mormon-y. But, I did enjoy them, and am now sucked in completely and will be out at midnight to purchase the last book and will probably have it read by the end of the day on Saturday (who needs sleep any way?) and if you want, I will tell you what I thought, but again, I don't want to push them on you...its entirely your choice.
So...I say that a lot, and begin almost every post that way (so...) I should probably work on that. Well, I keep having epiphanies this last week...its crazy. I have decided on a major. I think I'm going to be an English major (no mocking please, I am hard enough on myself) and get a teaching degree or something and be an English teacher. That's what I feel like I should do. I have been bitten with a writing bug that I haven't been bit with in a while...the only problem is that I hate how cheesy my stories are, so I am trying to work through that. But, I am finally feeling really good about going back to school and I feel like I have a purpose and a plan! It really is quite fabulous!

Amy's Tag

Okay, so its midnight and I'm bored, plus I have an interesting book close by, so I'm taking the tag.

The rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book (at least 123 pages).

2. Turn to page 123.

3. Find the 5th sentence.

4. Post the 5th sentence on your blog.

5. Tag 5 people.

Here it is: "Angier was just a few feet away from us, starting his next routine." Any guesses? I am reading The Prestige right now. I have seen the movie, and all I have to say about it is "Are you watching closely?" because seriously I don't think you can watch that movie just once. It is a weird movie, but a good one. I never saw The Illusionist which apparently came out at the same time (I was on my mission at that point) but, I heard that because the Illusionist was dumb not a lot of people went to see The Prestige which really is too bad...it is a pretty cool show about magic and revenge. I won't give anymore away, just go watch it if you haven't!

I hope you all have a fabulous and safe 4th of July!!!
