procrastination rap

my name is iZy and i know how to party

sleepin all day stayin up all nighty

i don't do my homework and i really hate school

sometimes i jump in a really cold pool.

i have great friends and man do they love me

i don't know why but i sure think it's funny

we live in the Moon and we love it so much

we don't have cable but our hats are dang clutch.

lipstick lipstick it's a strange tradition

i kinda wish it had stayed an omission

so many quotes, we laugh so hard

cheese, tiny boys, and a popup card

i'm 'writing a paper' so i better rap this up

but that was a great pun you silly chup!

Loaded Burger

there is this cool app on my phone that takes retro pictures. 

This is Abbie.

This is Mikelle. She's a guard at the MOA, and look how intimidating!

Why is "Loaded Burger" the title of this post? I know least of all. But it popped up like it was something I had typed in previously. I don't think I titled anything 'loaded burger.' I am pretty dang sure I didn't though, is the thing.

So you know what would be a good thing for me to be doing right now would be? Thinking of a better way to write that sentence, that's the first one probably. But another good thing would be to do my homework. But why do homework when you could ramble on the internets?

Anyways. Today I discovered this is the last month of school for the year. To be honest, while I'm very happy about school being over, I'm also a little bit sad. Because the thing is, there's those fools that I'm friends with. I'll be living with Abs and Mikelle this summer, but what about my bros Jesse and Marcus? We've become semi-inseparable. I think the longest we've gone without talking in the past month is 22 hours. I see them literally EVERY day, usually multiple times. We like our relationship. It's easy. It's effortless. They're there for me, I'm there for them. And I love them. And I don't want them to go back to Oregon. Because it's never going to be the same, ya see? It's never going to be as close as we are right now. And i hate that.

I better treasure these next 4 weeks, I suppose.

Love,
Lizzy

mawwiage is what bwings us togevah today

On Saturday one of my very best friends, Laura (the one next to me) got married! For the record, I wrote "marriaged" three times before I got it right. Hahaha.

So naturally, we are all super happy for her. We love Andrew (her now-husband) and are sure they'll be super happy together. We had a great time helping with the shower and talking at the reception. The group of girls you see in that picture have all been best friends since sophomore year of high school. Laura's the first of us to get married. So, it was kinda hard for all of us to adjust to, in all honesty. It is kind of like losing a friend, in a way, I mean, we know not really, but it'll never really be the same either, right?

I'm having a hard time as of late with my friends and them leaving me. At BYU everything is so transitory and always-changing. It isn't like high school, where you're in the same place with the same people for 4 years. You're seldom with the same people for more than 8 months. And I hate that. I am not the type to make a lot of short-term friends really easily. I make friends, and then those are my friends. FOREVER. If we split paths, it'll take me about a year to come up with new friends.

i enlisted Abs in making the desserts. i blow torched those cupcakes all by myself!!

So, I'm a little sad because Laura is now Wife of Andrew, and it is almost the end of the semester. I'm trying to live with Abs and Mikelle, who have literally become like sisters to me, for the spring/summer at the very least. But JMar (Jesse and Marcus) go back to Oregon until next fall, and in the fall Jesse's probably going to Jerusalem. So basically, my group of friends is being disbanded once more.

Now, Janelle is coming back for the summer, so that's a great comfort to me. I just wish that everyone would stay in the same place and stop leaving me, you know?

Sigh.

Love,

Lizzy

my sisters and the k5 boys

ignore my horrible smile. from left: mike, abs, caj, me, jesse james, farcus is holding the camera. :)

Well. How come I haven't been posting very frequently lately? Thankfully, the answer is a good one (for me, at least): I've been having fun. 


You see, when Chad left, my coping mechanisms went sort of like this.
April 7-19th "Oh, he's probably just gone for a couple weeks."
April 19th-June 20th "I'm in France and Italy, of course he isn't here with me, but that doesn't mean he's gone."
June 20th-August 13th "He's probably just gone for the summer, I'll see him when school starts."
August 13th-January 1st Pit of despair when I finally realized he was actually GONE. I stayed in my basement for the entirety of this time and got so depressed I actually dropped out of school. 
January 1-20th I start to become a normal human again.
January 20th-February 28th I suddenly realize I've had friends who like me, just for me,  all along.

Who are these people? My fantastic roommates who have become my sisters, plus Kimball 5 (the K5 boys). Jesse, Marcus, Evan, Abs, Mikelle, and Caj, with extended family members Jared, Andrew, Garret, Ben, Mike, Jordan, Trevor, and Chris. Yeah, the one thing I have in common with my roommates is that we pretty much all prefer hanging out with guys...haha.

And guess what? For the first time since Chad left, I'm actually...happy. Dare I say it? HAPPY!! Seriously.

Love,
Lizzy :D
