Balloon Mail

The highlight of my day was when I crossed another thing off my 101 list. I wrote a silly love note and attached it to some balloons left over from my farewell (which I will be telling you more about in a later post I promise) and then let them float away into the sky.

There was something so calming and wonderful about watching those balloons drift gracefully away. I closed my eyes for a moment and made a wish that someone who needs it will get that letter.

It was so silly. But it made me so happy. It was like backwards anonymous mail. Cause I signed my name, but I don't have a clue who is going to be getting the letter. Let me know if you are the recipient ;)

Dear Men Letters (Yes I'm breaking down and writing my own)

Dear Cuddling Requirer,
I don't know what I was thinking when I handed over my number to you. Please don't call, I'd rather not try to come up with an excuse to avoid you.
Sincerely,
I'm not a floosy

Dear Confused,
I was re-reading journal entries the other night and remembering once upon a time when you made me crazy happy. I keep hearing stories about you, but I'm finally over you and have no desire for a relapse... so as harsh as this sounds, please don't ask me out. I'll always care about you though. Don't forget that.
Sincerely,
A piece of my heart will always be yours

Dear Adorkable Blonde,
We should hang out more. I feel comfortable around you. Plus you're a flirt and heaven knows I need more practice in that area.
Sincerely,
Thanks for making me smile

Dear Quietly Handsome,
I feel creeper when I'm around you because it's been a very long time since I've crushed on someone this hard. Your good looks and fantastic conversational skills don't help my condition.
Sincerely,
Please ask me out already

Dear Prince Charming,
What's keeping you?
Sincerely,
I'm trying to be patient

The Statue of What?

This is a conversation I overheard two of my 3rd graders having today, I about lost it in a fit of giggles...

"I froze as the statue of puberty!" -Student 1
"What's puberty anyways?" -Student 2
"It's when you lose your hair." -Student 1

hehehehe

Murder Mayhem

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I did it. I killed my husband with the poison. In the tearoom.

Oh. And I had an affair with my date. Awkward?

Actually E.P.I.C is the word we'll use. Because that one about sums up last night.

It has been a marvelous week for me - I got hired to work for Alpine School District as a full time teacher, which was super duper exciting. I now have a salary and health insurance. Those are big grown up words that are excitingly intimidating and kinda cool when they apply to oneself. And then, to put icing on the cake, I went on an epic date last night with a Mr. Thomas.

The theme of the evening was murder. We all dressed up, and read our parts and laughed and laughed as we uncovered clues and tried to figure out who did it. Bear had way too much fun reminding us all that he was "successful" and loudly declaring that Christina was a floosy, I was the murderer, and that "marriage is not a crime!" Thomas managed to convince us all that he'd just been out cutting poisonous plants with his sword 'cause he happens to like botany, Taylor murdered her husband by pushing him out of a plane, and I killed my husband 'cause I wanted to keep the jewels.

Oh yes we had fun. And my date himself was wonderful. I hope it isn't too long before I get to see him again. Also, I hope to have another dinner party 1/2 that epic sometime in the future. Ash and I had a joyous time setting up for it. We learned how to fold napkins the same way they due in Buckingham Palace thanks to "Luigi! The maestro of napkin folding." You can see his marvelous video if you click HERE. And we created a shrine with candles to my deceased husband. Who wasn't really dead... but we didn't know that yet.

So yeah. If you are looking for a really fun evening, get a few outgoing friends together and do a murder. It's an evening to die for. (Now you should laugh, 'cause that cheesy pun was intended.)

Tiana and the Beast

So I'm kind of a Disney girl. Which shouldn't come as a surprise to you. And so I like Disney conversations. Which also shouldn't come as a surprise :)

So Saturday we were sitting on a bus coming home from the underground market, which is a long bus ride. And when you stick 5 of us girls together, who all happen to be Disney fans, we end up with some fun conversations.

It started off with some Princess-typing. (Which for those of you who aren't aware: is when you figure out the answer to the question 'If we were all Disney Princesses/heroines who would we each be?') Princess typing can be a muchly fun past time. Especially when you start analyzing personalities and really getting into it. It becomes especially amusing when you follow the unwritten rule that no one gets to pick their own type. You have absolutely no say in who you end up being.

So yes. We decided after some extensive debate which princess was which. We had some slightly less than happy with the results sort of people... but life is tough. BUT THEN. Then it got even more fun... because someone decided that it should not stop at princess-typing. In fact, we went simply hog-wild after that and decided that next we needed to pick which princes would be ideal for each of us. And that... oh man. So fun.

In case you are curious as to the results:

GIRL = PRINCESS/HEROINE ..... IDEAL PRINCE/HERO

Megan = Snow White ..... Eric from the Little Mermaid

Emma = Megera ..... Captain Phoebus from Hunchback of Notre Dame

Elizabeth = Ariel ..... Aladdin 

Anna = Pocahontas ..... Phillip from Sleeping Beauty

Krystal = Tiana ..... Beast (aka Adam) from Beauty and the Beast

I could break down the extensive decision making process for you... but you might just fall asleep if you aren't as big of Disney fans as we are. So I will just assure you that each of these decisions actually make total sense.... in a weird sort of way. Despite the interestingness of the couple matches... haha.

Good times. Good times :)

Believe it or not....

This afternoon I got home from work, and noticed that my fish was unusually active. As in: he was wiggling back and forth. A lot.Usually he just chills in the corner of the tank... so I stopped to watch the odd behavior, and realized:

He's wiggling in time to the music. Seriously.

So I watched. And he kept dancing. And I kept watching, and he kept wiggling.

So I turned around, picked up the remote and turned off the music player. At which point, Fender quit wiggling and went back to his corner.

That's right ladies and gents. My fish dances. He dances in time even.

Bet your fish isn't that cool ;)

ENFJ

So apparently this is my personality profile. Most of it I feel is pretty accurate. If you know me well, you can probably read through and peg the things that are or are not mostly true.

If you feel like taking this test yourself, this site here will help you out :) And if you feel like reading up on the various personalities, this site is where I got my profile information from.

OH yeah. And by the way. According to this my two favorite actors: Sean Connery and Johnny Depp, are also ENFJ's. Take that.

ENFJs are people-focused individuals. They live in the world of people possibilities. More so than any other type, they have excellent people skills. They understand and care about people, and have a special talent for bringing out the best in others. They are focused on understanding, supporting, and encouraging others. They make things happen for people, and get their best personal satisfaction from this.

Because ENFJ's people skills are so extraordinary, they have the ability to make people do exactly what they want them to do. They get under people's skins and get the reactions that they are seeking. 

ENFJ's are so externally focused that it's especially important for them to spend time alone. This can be difficult for some ENFJs, because they have the tendency to be hard on themselves when alone. Consequently, ENFJs might avoid being alone, and fill their lives with activities involving other people. ENFJs tend to define their life's direction and priorities according to other people's needs, and may not be aware of their own needs. It's natural to their personality type that they will tend to place other people's needs above their own, but they need to stay aware of their own needs so that they don't sacrifice themselves in their drive to help others.

ENFJ's tend to be more reserved about exposing themselves than other extraverted types. Although they may have strongly-felt beliefs, they're likely to refrain from expressing them if doing so would interfere with bringing out the best in others. Because their strongest interest lies in being a catalyst of change in other people, they're likely to interact with others on their own level, in a chameleon-like manner.

Which is not to say that the ENFJ does not have opinions. ENFJs have definite values and opinions which they're able to express clearly and succinctly. These beliefs will be expressed as long as they're not too personal. ENFJ is in many ways expressive and open, but is more focused on being responsive and supportive of others. When faced with a conflict between a strongly-held value and serving another person's need, they are highly likely to value the other person's needs.

The ENFJ may feel quite lonely even when surrounded by people. This feeling of aloneness may be exacerbated by the tendency to not reveal their true selves.

People love ENFJs. They are fun to be with, and truly understand and love people. They are typically very straight-forward and honest. Usually ENFJs exude a lot of self-confidence, and have a great amount of ability to do many different things. 

ENFJs like for things to be well-organized, and will work hard at maintaining structure and resolving ambiguity. 

ENFJs do not like dealing with impersonal reasoning. They don't understand or appreciate its merit, and will be unhappy in situations where they're forced to deal with logic and facts without any connection to a human element. 

ENFJs have a strong need for close, intimate relationships, and will put forth a lot of effort in creating and maintaining these relationships. They're very loyal and trustworthy once involved in a relationship.
ENFJs have a special gift with people, and are basically happy people when they can use that gift to help others. They get their best satisfaction from serving others. 

What thinks you? Accurate? Or no?

"Your make-out chap stick is broken."

So my sister bought this chape sticke.... well actually, she bought two. And they go together. The whole idea is that one person puts on one, and the other person puts on the other, and when they kiss something crazy happens and the substances interact to make your lips go wild in a tingly sort of way.

So she told me tonight that I HAD to try it. And I told her I was fine with that... but there was no way I was going to kiss her.

Anyways. After a little brainstorming, I rubbed one type on my top lip, the other on the bottom, and rubbed my lips together.

Nothing happened.

So I washed my lips off and tried again.

I turned to her and told her her make-out chap stick was broken.

And then my lips started to tingle.

And it was really quite incredible actually....

Institutionalized

Thursday I went with Dora on a mini road trip to Montana. Nevermind why. Suffice it to say that we spent a LONG time in the car. And whenever one spends excessively long periods of time in a moving vehicle, bathroom breaks become necessary. So we stopped at a gas station in the Idaho Falls area, and she and I happily skipped inside (we were very grateful to be out of the car) in order to use the restroom.

As we walked in and followed the signs directing us to the ladies room, a man wearing casual business attire (he was probably in his late 40's) stopped me with a question. This was because he had noticed my shirt. I was wearing a USU Institute t-shirt. On the front the shirt says 'Institute' in bold lettering, the back features the Aggie A and the words 'a priority.'  Noticing me and the front of my shirt, he halted my progress towards the bathroom with the question, "Wait, you belong to an Institute?" Thinking that he might be LDS and was just appreciating the fact that he could easily recognize my religious affiliations by my getup, I proudly answered him with a resounding, "Yup! I go to Institute."  He looked back at me with a concerned expression on his face and said, "Hm. That's usually not something people advertise on their shirts." I shrugged and proceeded on my way.

While I was washing my hands and thinking about this incident, it occurred to me that the kindly-intentioned gentleman was not referring to the same kind of Institute that I was thinking of. So I turned to Dora and mentioned that the man had probably thought I belong to a psych ward. She and I chuckled over it as we exited the restroom, and as we approached the exit, the same gentleman stopped me again.

You know those times when you can just look at someone's face, and you know what they are wanting to say, even though they aren't saying it very well? Well --- this was one of those times. Because this guy looked at me with this queer expression, and I just knew that he was dying, yes, simply dying, to know what I had done that would cause me to be sent to the loony bin, and what on earth was I doing in a gas station in the middle of Idaho. He  asked me in a controlled sort of voice what kind of Institute I belonged to, and when I explained, "It's an institute for religion...." he looked at me with a dubious glance and said sarcastically, "I've never heard it called that before."

And it was all I could do not to bust up laughing as I explained that it was a USU t-shirt. I am an Aggie, and that the institute there really is for religion. He then proceeded to quietly explain to himself, "Oh. You're one of those Utah people...."

And I just laughed. Because he is in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Which, while it may not be Utah, is definitely not that far from USU, Mormons, Aggies, or other such similar things.

So yes. I had a random stranger try to ask me why I'd been institutionalized. Haha.
 Best gas station experience ever. Hands down :)

Camille tells me stories to cheer me up.

"once,

there was a beautiful girl named Krystal

and there was a handsome prince named ping. and he was from china. and he wasn't dumb like most boys are

and Krystal went to China, and there was a chipmunk there named Larry

And Larry said "Krystal, guess what? normally when i'm around, it means you have to do a lot of waiting or fighting or whatever so you can receive they key to the heart of the one you treasure

But Ping is so madly in love with you, that he already did all the work for you, so you don't have to do it. Because he loves you lots and lots

And so, Krystal was so happy. and she met ping, and he was everything she hoped for and more. and he was good at chasing girls

and he asked girls on dates

and he was really funny

and teased Krystal a lot

and they lived happily ever after.

the end"

I like that girl. And her stories too :)

"Krystal, that does not taste like you."

-Alyssa
Oh the things that get said when you work early morning....

hehehe.

Fun Facts:

Just for fun, here's a list of things that you probably didn't care to know about me but that I am sharing with you anyways:

1. I have a young mouth --- my dentist told me that if he had to guess my age just based off of my teeth, he'd say I'm about 4 years younger than I really am.
2. When I was in 2nd grade I got two black eyes. At the same time.
3. One time my cousins and I made a 12 story long paper chain. We hung it from the top of a stairwell all the way down to the bottom floor. It was awesome.
4. I love roundabouts. Everything about them makes me happy.
5. The first time I tried driving a stick I didn't stall. Go me!
6. I am a silly song nut. I know tons of them -- if you ever need one just let me know :)
7. The only time I've ever dyed my hair was when I put a temporary streak of red in it.
8. I can't whistle, but I can tweet like a bird.
9. I've kissed a real frog. One that I caught while on a river rafting trip.
10. I ran one season of track my freshman year of high school. I was the second slowest person on the team.
11. In 7th grade I only missed one day of school: it happened to be during the awards ceremony at the end of the year -- so when my name was read for the perfect attendance award I wasn't there to get it. I was a tad more than slightly confused when the school secretary called me down to the office the next day so that she could give it to me.
12. I avoid eating cottage cheese because it reminds me forcefully of an unpleasant encounter I had with tofu.
13. I've never had stitches or been in a cast for breaking anything.
14. I can recite the first 20 lines of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in Old English.
15. I usually win Phase 10. Don't ask why, I've just always been super lucky with that particular game.
16. I have been to Alaska twice, but I've never been to a foreign country.
17. I started reading the Lord of the Rings in 4th grade. I read all but the last half(ish) of the last one. I still have never finished it. (Even though I own the series.)
18. My Grandpa informed me 4 or 5 years ago that I was the only one of his Grandchildren who knew how to saddle my own horse  --> it's it's likely that this is still true.
19. I bite my lip when I'm not sure what to say.
20. I have never slept in till noon. Ever.
21. My favorite smell in the world is that smell of laundry steam as it comes out of the vent.
22. My cousin and I together drafted an application to anyone who wants to join our family. She made her fiancée fill it out, and I fully intend to make my future fiancée do the same.
23. My hair used to be bone straight, the older I get the more wavy it gets.
24. My sneeze is usually so loud that it scares people.
25. I despise hot dogs. Pretty much I think that they are about as close as you can get to eating warm rubber.

Dear Logan,

You are one of my favorite places ever. I got to visit you earlier this week, and when I drove out of Sardine and beheld your beauty, a smile crept onto my face and would not leave. Literally. I couldn't get it to stop even when my cheeks started to hurt and I tried.

I didn't do anything supremely phenomenal while I was visiting. Well, ok, ok, hanging out with any of the Musketeers is always phenomenal -- but I was so happy doing unphenomenal things with truly phenomenal people whom I happen to love dearly. My stomach was sore for nearly two days after just because I laughed so hard and so genuinely while I was visiting you. Thanks for being such a beautiful place.

I shall be looking forward in hopeful anticipation until the next time I am able to grace you with my presence.

With all my heart,
Krystal

Quotes of Epicness

So as some of you may know, I have a rather large quote wall in my apartment. If you are a frequenter of my place, you may even be fortunate enough to have one of your quotes featured there. I have heard from more than one source that this quote wall of ours happens to be, hands down, the most epic quote wall that any person has ever seen. No one has ever refuted that fact. I love our quote wall. It provides many a good giggle, and functions as a fabulous conversation starter, as well as helps to keep many memories alive. Now--- because the school year is ending, the quote wall will have to be taken down. This is a tragedy in my mind. However - I would like the quote wall to live on. So here, on this very blog, shall be documented some of the epic, and not so epic moments in our apartment. Keep in mind that these come in no apparent order, and more than likely a few wonderful moments will be missing. Enjoy at your leisure, and please feel free to tell me which is your favorite.

The Three and a Half Musketeers!!!

Hem hem hem:

"One evening as I was out walking, though you'll find it hard to believe...
a little blue man, stepped out of the crowd, and timidly tugged at my sleeve.
    I wuv you! I wuv you! said the little blue man. I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!
    I wuv you! He loves me, said the little blue man. And scared me right out of my wits.
I rushed back to my apartment. I ran in and I closed the door.
But there on my desk, stood the little blue man, who started to tell me once more:
    I wuv you! I wuv you! said the little blue man. I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!
    I wuv you! He loves me, said the little blue man. And scared me right out of my wits.
For weeks after that I was haunted. Though no one could see him, but me.
But there by my side, stood the little blue man, wherever I happened to be.
    I wuv you! I wuv you! said the little blue man. I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!
    I wuv you! He loves me, said the little blue man. And scared me right out of my wits.
One evening in wild desperation, I rushed to a rooftop in town...
and over the edge, pushed the little blue man, who sang to me all the way down.
    I wuv you! I wuv you! said the little blue man. I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!
    I wuv you! He loves me, said the little blue man. And scared me right out of my wits.
I said, 'Thank goodness that's over.' I smiled as I hurried outside.
But there on the street, stood the little blue man, who said with a tear in his eye:
     I don't wuv you anymore."

This song was dedicated to Camille and Brian. Carrie and I unexpectedly serenaded them with it the other night - which was especially funny since Camille was being drawn and needed to keep a straight face. Ha! It also passes off #71 on my 101 list: to serenade someone who is not expecting it :) It went quite well. And then yesterday I Carrie and I made those two yahoo's their very own little blue men. That was before we dragged Brian with us to the fabric store... he is such a good sport.

The adventures of the Three and a Half Musketeers are so fabulous. We broke in my new Wackee 6 cards last night!!! There is going to be an upcoming match where we hope to use 3 sets of decks at once... mwahahaha! Wanna come? If you dare you are definitely invited.

Also, for the official record: Brian did not caress me with a knife. It was definitely a stab. Camille and I have come  up with a behavioral definition for cuddling (success!). Krystal doesn't like to shove people off cliffs - she just pretends like she does. Smurfing is pretty much one of the most fabulous activities ever.... and giving people grief over smurfing is even better.

And if any of you yahoo's to whom this post is dedicated happen to be reading this (no, I don't consider you dingo-brains) -- I will be holding you to the promise of rock climbing, chinese, and cleaning the sink this weekend. Don't think I won't.

Why yes, I am 5' 1''

An extremely attractive gentleman put his arm around me this evening in order to demonstrate his point: which was that I am pretty much the perfect height for a girl.

It made me smile.

A lot. :D

H20

Once upon a time Krystal was cleaning her fishbowl. And as she was rinsing and contemplating the mysteries of the universe (she can be deep occasionally.... ) she suddenly cried, "God is so smart!"

And Dora, whom her comment was directed at, chuckled at the suddenness of the outburst and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Well" started Krystal, "You know how most things are heavier when they are in their liquid form?"
"Yeah..."
"And you know how water isn't like that? Ice is lighter, so it floats."
"Mmhmmm."
"Well, God is such a genius! Because if he'd made water like most other things, then ice wouldn't float, and then all the fishes would die. And that would be so tragic!"

And then Dora burst out laughing and told Krystal that she was ridiculous.


Sometimes she just doesn't appreciate my genius.

"I live for awkwardness"

That's a direct quote from last night. I said it. (Insert cheesy grin here)

That was around the time Camille and I were reminiscing about an earlier conversation in which I had said something that shall not be quoted here. It was one of those completely innocent remarks that doesn't sound innocent after it comes out of a body's mouth.

Why is it those seem to come out of my mouth so often? Ha.


I decided that the majority of the time, I really don't mind saying exactly what I think. This can be both a good and a bad thing.

Sometimes I think I should just keep my mouth shut a lot more. Then I wouldn't get in deep water as often. But then again... people wouldn't laugh nearly as hard when I'm around either.

And I probably wouldn't be being me. Hmmm....

At last!! There is a Ring!!

No. Not on my finger silly people.

On Dora's. Hooray! If you would like to hear about it in her own words you may click here.


Also. Can I just say I saw it before she did? And I knew what was going to happen. And I did a VERY good job of keeping a secret :D

It's slightly sad... because she will be leaving me forever. *Tear* But I still happen to be a very proud roommate at the moment.

Wackee 6 is VERY Good for the Soul

I love this game.

Especially when I get to play with Camille, Carrie, David, Brian and Jeff.
Especially especially when the girls combined scores are beating the boys.
And especially especially especially when I'm beating David and he gets worked up about it.

Like tonight -- when I was over a hundred points ahead of everyone.

Yup. This game blesses my life.
