A few funny things.

1) What is that foreign cylindrical object? Does anyone know? I feel as if I once knew what it was, but it is now just a distant memory....Yes, we have been out of toilet paper for 5 days now. 5 DAYS. Someone has been refilling it with huge piles of napkins from our kitchen. It's like wiping with 1 ply, but even worse. At least the blue napkins turn green when you use them, that's pretty cool. But, I will not fold!! I am not buying anymore freaking TP for this apartment. Even though we designated months for buying TP at the beginning of the year, I have become the official "Toilet Paper Refiller", a much esteemed title. I don't even know how many rolls I have bought so that these lazy girls can wipe their bottoms. But no more!! I will not buy it this month. I think I'm just going to steal a roll from home and keep it safe in my closet for my own use. In fact, 227 has become the Mooch-Off-Of-Rebekah apartment. Come one, come all! Guess who refills when we run out of dish soap, flour, sugar, salt, toilet paper, hand soap. Guess who is the only one who does their dishes and put them in the dishwasher on their designated day (well, okay, Sarah H. does too). I used to leave my hand towel hanging up in the bathroom, but now it is completely brown and covered in makeup and....blood. Yes, someone wiped their nasty blood on one of my white hand towels. So my towels are now locked in my closet. I also removed all my cute polka dotted dishes from the drawer because people kept walking into our apartment and taking them!! They would literally walk in and take them and use them in their apartment! One of my dishes is in a random boy in Shipe hall's apartment because a girl brought a cake over to him on MY plate. I've never even been to Shipe hall, but now I have to go there to retrive my last missing plate. Were these girls raised by apes????? AUGH!
I took this picture in the beginning of the year when I thought this was messy. Yeah, that looks neat now. If my camera had battery, I would take a picture of that, and the 5 garbage bags piled in the hallway that no one will take out.

2. Someone compared gun laws to secret combinations to me last night. I laughed. 10 points if you guess who it was that told me that! Well actually, only 5, it's not that hard to guess. Who likes guns, church, and is a crazy conservative....

3. Also, we watched this in advertising. This was filmed in one shot, it took 606 trys. It's awesome!

New blog, sort of....

I'm in an advertising and mass media class now, and they're so cool! Advertising is really fun. For that class we have to keep up a blog and post about something advertising related every week, so I'm using that as an excuse for my decline in blogging. If you want to check out my blog there, here's the address: http://www.byucomms230.com/profiles/blog/list?user=3bl58dcmqmjpq
Here's the address to the class blog, if you want to read other kids' blogs, they post some cool ads and stuff every once in a while, plus you can check out my blog's ranking! The 5 or 6 most popular blogs get put up there, and my posts have been up twice already out of 428! It's a lot of fun. Plus, your clicks on mine should help boost me up :) plus the posts are just interesting to see. And yes, Donny Osmond's son is in my class, but don't click to his blog and give him extra views! He's a bit of a brown noser and Donny Jr. and I are in a fight to the death to one up each other. I will take you down, Osmond boy!!

Anyway, here's a freaky video from my advertising class. Both my mass media and my Ad class talk a ton about social media Social media is changing how mass media, and eventually, how the world works. It's a little bit ridiculous how fast the world is changing. In fact, how social media and the internet and other things are changing media is starting a bit of a panic in the media/communications/advertising world. Newspapers are bombing out, stores (even big box stores, ex: where the heck did all the big box technology stores go [except Best Buy--survival of the fittest]?? Circuit City?? Dead and gone. Borders and Barnes and Noble are starting to struggle) are turning online and dying, even books are becoming slightly obsolete. Television is even starting to decline. Of course, some things will never change, like print books will never entirely disappear, neither will brick and mortar stores. But things are changing fast via internet and social media. This might be exaggerated to make it freakier, but here's just an interesting video, it kinda gives you chills. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/v/sIFYPQjYhv8&hl=en_US&fs=1&

Yes, I am a nerd. P.S. Matt, this could be a good way to advertise MPMS!
