Two reasons why I'm blogging: One - I love to blog and so yeah... Two - I haven't blogged in a bajillion days and February is coming and my mom takes excerpts from my blog for the family newsletter... So I need to get her some new material. You may have seen my previous about me posts if not, here's just a bunch of random things about me that are popping into my head right now. Ready, set, go. I'm high speed. I like to do things fast and forcefully. I never knew what to call it until I joined the Army ROTC though. My squad members called me high speed. I don't like sitting with my back to doors. I don't know what it is, but it makes me nervous. I need to be able to see all entries to the room I'm in or else I feel really uncomfortable. Yeah... paranoid, I know. I have bad, bad knees that hurt when I use stairs. They don't hurt enough to make me limp all of the time, but they hurt enough that occasionally I use the elevator for changes of only on...

So since I think I'm awesome and entertaining, I just read a bunch of old blog posts and do you know what I discovered? My writing has become dry and dull. Not only that, but I've become more self righteous and conceited! Also, I've become much more serious. I'm gonna work on changing that so I can reread these posts in the future and have as good of a time as I did tonight. Also, I'll try to be as honest as I used to be, but less depressing. I was an emo blogger! Maybe my next post will be a blast from the past post with some highlights. Yeah... Anyway, good night world. Wednesday is over and Thursday is waiting to begin.

So a friend of mine told me to come over to his place and have a study party with him. Since I really like this friend (yes children, like-like) I was excited to spend any time with him. Well, not long into our studies he asked me if I would be offended if he went and helped another friend with a project of hers. The old Whitney would have complained and made him feel guilty and rude for even suggesting such a thing. The new Whitney however simply said, "No, that's fine," and packed up her bag and left. Sure I was a little bummed. Sure I'm jealous that he's going to spend time with another girl (even if he's not interested in either of us... irrational, feeling that way. No?). But it doesn't matter. Whatever my response, my friend would still have wanted to go and help her. My taking offense and making a big stink about it may have made him stay with me, but it wouldn't have made him like me anymore or improve our friendship in any way. In fac...

So this is the excuse I'm going to use for my absence even though it doesn't hold much water. (That's a saying, right? I dunno... I'm a little rusty on my idioms probably because I make up so many and I forget which are real...) Our internet has been on the fritz! I've had to reset the blasted router at least ten times in the past week. It's ridiculous. Anyway, I was going to blog about how much I hate texting, and I may still do that in a later post, but for this post I will just update you on a few things in my life. (Not that many of you care, but it's my blog so if you don't like it then go eat your lunch somewhere else! (fake/made up idiom)) Updates: Elder Humes has been out for over seven months! Amazing right? Also, he wrote me off about a month ago. He told me that we shouldn't write anymore. I was sad. The next day I got another letter that said he didn't know if that was the right thing. Finally we decided that we're still ...

This blog post has been stewing in my brain for quite some time lately. Now that doesn't mean that it will blow your mind or have any literary value, but at least it's better than a line or two and a music video. Well... at least I hope it is. I'll try to be as open as possible even if that leads you all to see me as a crazy, however, some things still hurt and still terrify me even though it has been over seven years. For the past six months friends have asked me how I've overcome my weaknesses and found zeal for life. Well, here's my story: Fall of 2008, I moved away from home, started my first semester of college, broke it off with my boyfriend of about three years, started dating another guy, and jumped right into the Army ROTC program at BYU by joining the Ranger Challenge team. My life was drastically changed. Being human - a creature of habit - I had adverse reactions to these changes. In high school I was deeply invested in my schooling. I did all of ...

Here I am, forcing a real blog post, and not just one with a sentence and a music video. We'll see how this turns out seeing as I haven't been in the mood to blog. It's Christmas Eve. And it doesn't even feel like Christmas. I'm not excited. It's really odd. And I don't much like it. On a completely unrelated note, I saw Tangled today, and it definitely is one of my new favorite movies. I laughed so hard through almost the entire movie. It was great. Go see it people. I got to go snowboarding two days ago. It was fantastic. My brothers and I had fun getting lost in the trees. I love snowboarding. I was so sore yesterday, but it was the best kind of sore. Facebook is distracting me from blogging... That's sad. This blog post is failing. I'm going to put it out of its misery. Buh-bye. Oh, one more thing. My friend Brad is gone from facebook again, and now he's gone from blogger. And also my phone lost his number. Brad, I feel like...

So I have no flipper clue what my favorite song was one year ago, so instead I'm posting the song of the week with this awesome animated modern dance with it. I love this song and this video. Enjoy. "World Spins Madly On" - The Weepies
