fear

I asked my two-year-old brother what to write about and he said, "Monstow!" (monster) So here it is...
The 'thing' bared it's rough, jagged teeth. Scarlet liquid oozed down it's chin and dropped heavily on the perfectly white carpet. It's eyes were as large as a tangerines and stared into my soul with an eerie fuchsia gleam. His skin was thin and torn, almost see-through. Underneath the film of skin was grungy green blood that had unnatural spidery veins. He made a horrible, long shriek that made my brain rattle. The sound was piercing and left spasms of pain against my ear drums as it became too high to fully hear. It crept forward, it's elbows coming first, then it's knees. He threw his small head back and grinned a grin so humanistic I shook with fear. All of a sudden it leaped at me in one, strong bound. It grabbed my neck, pulled me close up to his face and closed his jaw on my throat. Burning needles stabbed my veins and cold blood drizzled miserably down my colarbone. My vision went blurry, edged with cloudy green and crimson. I felt my heart beat fast, then start to slow. Each pulse pulling more pain into my body. My brain couldn't process all the waves of discomfort at one time. I struggled for breath. Maybe the monster is still squeezing my throat, I thought. Then I saw it's black fingernails digging into my friend's heart as she thrashed 7 feet away from me. I quiveringly took my last breath...

Apartment 51

My roommates are the best roommates of all time. We had a dance party the other day where Emmy introduced me to the 'nae nae song'. Can you believe I'd never heard it? I know. Emmy has quite the moves too. Gentry was doing laundry, which is an event because she actually does it the right way. Cold, warm washes; darks, whites, color, reds. The works. It took a few hours, so Emmy and I stayed up with her jamming out and chatting. We got a little depressed at how ugly our living room was because we'd had FHE at a guys' apartment earlier and their apartment was amazing. Framed vinyl records, leather sofa, big-screen TV, Ikea spice holders, quotes. We were put to shame. So we decided to put up a bunch of pictures on our wall. It now holds Gentry's towing ticket, pictures, The Living Christ, Proclamation to the Family, my Broadway tickets, a map of San Francisco and more. It definitely cheers up the room. We are going to hang a banner thing up too so we can hang temp...

I Was A Stranger

My mom began volunteering at the Asian Association refugee center, called Sunnyvale, when I was still in Orem. She told me all about the kids she worked with, and I wanted to go volunteer with her as soon as I could. She has a gift of really seeing people, so her descriptions of their little personalities, challenges, likes, dislikes, talents, and persona were vivid and true. After the LDS church made powerful statements on aiding, accepting, and loving refugees, my mom got a tidal wave of donations, offers to volunteer, and questions regarding the specific needs of Sunnyvale. Our porch is hardly ever bare of kind and generous donations. It was so neat to see individuals be so service-oriented and charitable. They gave in whatever capacity they could. My mom is good at offering time. Does she have time to run me down to Salt Lake? Yes. Does she have time to stop at every neat-looking rock on a road-trip? Yep. Does she have time to volunteer for three hours five times a week while...

Good bye Nutcracker

Nutcracker is over and I'm sad! It was so much fun and I made great memories. I fell on the last night during the Maid dance which was a bummer. My tray flew off my hand when I fell even with the strap on the bottom. I just pretended it was on purpose and made some hand gestures like I gasped and then walked off. Luckily it was at the end of the dance. I still had Waltz and finale and I wasn't going to let one fall make me sad or not do my best the rest of the time. Strangely afterwords I felt really calm and didn't really care until after party scene. It was kind of funny and I didn't hurt myself. The weird thing was that right before the performance I felt like I was going to trip or fall....and I did. Hahaha, well I'm just the really clumsy maid now :)  Maddie is a pro photo bomber. I just wish she'd bombed one of the bad pictures instead!  My favors for the Waltz gals  Emma being me...haha she'd be a great Maid! :) Love her  Cutie...
