SCUTTLE!!!!!!!!!!!

So i can honestly say that i have never considered myself as a disney character. i know, surprise. but i was talking to my good friend, drew mackay, and he made a pretty good ananlysis. well, i agree with him. i am most like scuttle, the seagull from the little mermaid.

there are a couple of obvious reasons, for example i make a lot of loud annoying noises and i love the ocean.

but when i started thinking about it more i realized that drew really hit the nail on the head. besides being loud, obnoxious, and a sucker for warm weather (sunny, sandy, soaking wet beaches with no clouds in the sky kind of days where all you can think to do is go on a run down the beach) i am a lot more like a seagull then most would think. for instance, scuttle is a really happy-go-lucky kind of bird. i am someone who likes to laugh and enjoy life as it comes. let's face it, i would rather be happy and burst out into random song than sit mute on a boat trying to be mysterious and keep my name a secret. i am not the kind of person to keep my feelings or thoughts under wraps...i am a straightforward girl. i guess i could be considered a pretty outgoing person who really couldn't care less what others think of me and for some reason enjoy being the center of attention. i like the way i am, well i could go for a little more intelligence or feminine features, but all in all i'm good to go. i am also like scuttle in the fact that people have a hard time taking me seriously. it would appear that i am oblivious to everything going on around me, but really i usually know what is going on.

ya, well i would love to go on talking about myself and all but ya it kinda makes me feel uncomfortable so i think this is a good place to stop.

LIAR!....

the truth is that i only dont really like pirates at all actually. i just feel bad for them because they get scurvy. so pretty much i think that pirates either need to eat more citrus or stay out of the ocean.

I love pirates!

HI!!! I love pirates!! All kinds of pirates. From your orange bandana bearing pirate, to your parrot shouldering pirate. I just love them all.

Carb loading and putting on the Pounds!!

So ever since i started running competitively in high school i have had this high carb type of a diet. i always craved foods like pasta before and after practices and meets. i would make sure to load up on the carbs because not only would it provide me with the energy i was in need of to keep up with the competition, but i thought it would help me keep on weight. keeping on weight was and is a big deal to me because i have a hard time gaining weight and i honestly feel that it is one of the most annoying things EVER! so i have tried a lot of different things in trying to gain weight such as downing spoon fulls of peanut butter, protein shakes, not working out, etc but cant seem to beat the whole metabolism problem. i am really sick of being too skinny and having the body of a 12 year old boy. so i am sure this probably sounds weird to you, but i need some suggestions on how to GAIN weight!

HOTT dog!!

i just think it is so strange how certain situations cause different cravings. take today for example, i went to the byu vs. uvsu baseball game this afternoon and once i walked in the park i could smell the hot dogs. everywhere. as the game progressed and i got more into it, i found myself craving a hot dog. i never eat hot dogs, unless i am at a baseball game because that is the only time i ever crave them. i just find it interesting that just because that is the expected snack of choice at baseball games i will eat it, no matter how gross i think it is. becuase it is good for those few moments in the bleachers. now i know that hot dogs at baseball games is not the only example of situational cravings, but i still find it weird.

seriously... what's the point?!!!

so my question is why do food companies find it necessary to charge more for organic food then for their highly processed products? i mean honestly, it takes so much more time and effort for them to take out all of the natural nutrients that come from the original food and then to poor them all back in and call it "fortified". so why turn around and charge more for the "real" and "natural" food? it's not like they made it better for us using their terrible technology. who gives them the right to charge more for what nature created and force us to buy their cheaper and less healthful food? i guess i just dont see the logic in that.

Chocolate as ART

so i actually sat down and watched the food channel the other day and watched a chocolate competition. it was actually really interesting. there were about four "well-known" chefs competing against eachother. they each had to create their own interpretation of the word "dream" by using chocolate. it was amazing some of the things they came up with and i am sure they had to practice all of that before hand.

one of the chefs did "the american dream" which included eagle wings, the flag, and all sorts of patriotic symbolism. other chefs took a more literal approach by making chocolate statues of dream catchers or marble clouds.

it was pretty entertaining and i am curious as to what they did with all that chocolate when they were done....

mmmmm!!! i want chocolate!
