Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

So you know that scene...

in movies where the girl is sitting in her room, and the guy calls her phone and knocks on the door at the same time? so she picks it up and is talking to him as she goes to answer the door, and there he is standing there... yeah... that just happened to me.

So Basketball Boy was leaving to go out of town this weekend, and last night I told him that if he didnt come say goodbye to me before he left, hed be in big trouble! well... he left. So i texted him and told him he was in trouble. Then 5 minutes later he calls me, as someone knocks on the door. And as Im telling him how much trouble hes in, I open the door to see him leaning up against the door frame smirking away. Then he gives a hug says goodbye have a great weekend, and then walks away....

yeah im a tad bit twitter-pated

Fishy Friday

I love my fish!!!! Yes I do... see i was so nice to them... I gave the lovely Bonnie and Clyde a freshly clean house this morning and even got them new rocks! They have never been so feisty and energetic as they are now. I think they like their new landscape too
In other news... This weekend is going to be busy busy busyness!
1. Basketball game with Megatron tomorrow! Rocky Bears vs. Northwestern
2. Cleaning the dorm room... Roomie left and it was messy so im taking charge and totally spiffying it up for us while shes gone
3. Homework... homework.... did I mention homework
4. NCISness
5. Not thinking about the adorarblely cute Redhead that sits behind me in Psych and is friends with History Boy... or the basketball player...

Tuesday Sunshine



So yesterday's post was a tad bit crabby... and im sorry for that. I was in a really bitter mood and took it out on my poor precious blog. Good thing its forgiving...

But anyways...

Do you listen to Country Music?
I do! And even though a lot of people hate it, I love it...

Anyways... this guy:
yeah... well he's Garth Brooks, and his music? Well I love it. Some of my favorite songs are by him, and mind you they are slow, but they speak to me. Like these 3:
1. Beaches of Cheyenne
2. We Shall Be Free
3. Rodeo

And this guy:

Well... this is George Strait... and I really LOVE him... I think hes a cutie (even though hes old) Not only does his music... well... pretty much make me swoon, but he was in a movie. Not your average movie, but its called Pure Country, and its amazing, one of my favorites. Anyways... my 3 favorite songs by him are:
1. Blue Clear Sky
2. The Chair
3. Run

So yeah... random post, but poor Pandora has been playing these two stations based on these two of awhile now..

What do you listen to?

Courage is being scared to death - but saddling up anyway.
John Wayne

Thats a door. Caught me a tad off guard when I tried to go out it on my way to practice... so I got a picture of it on the way back.

102 Things Guys Should Know About Girls...

So I found this list on facebook... and I really have a problem with it... There are somethings on here I agree with... others however... well see for yourself...

ps... the group had spelled girls with an extra s

Bold- I like
Normal- Its true but not a big deal
Italic- um no! not necessary...

1. Do not cheat on a girl. We girls talk, we WILL know, and we WILL find out, and we WILL dump you!

2. Be aware of all your girlfriends’ guy friends, brothers, fathers, or anything. They are protective. Every single male friend we have will kick your ass if you end up hurting her.

3. Never ever miss an opportunity to tell her that she’s beautiful. We girls love that.

4. If she slapped you hard, you probably deserved it.

5. Do not be afraid of holding her. If she’s going out with you in the first place, it’s obvious that she likes you and wants to be in your arms.

6. Every girl should eventually get three things from her boyfriend -- a stuffed animal, one of his sweatshirts or hoodie’s, and a really pretty piece of jewelry.

7. Make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. If you're dropping her off, walk her to the door. If you aren't dropping her off, call to be sure she's home safely. We think that’s really cute and sweet.

8. If a guy is bothering your girlfriend, it is your right to beat the sh!t out of him.

9. If you're talking to a female friend of yours, pull your girlfriend closer. It’ll make her feel secure that you love her more than the other girl.

10. Never ever slap her, even if it's just in a joking way. Even if she swats you first, and says, "Oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back (my idea on this one is that if its joking and not hard, its fine)

11. Go along with her to a chick flick once in a while. She doesn't care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went with her.

12. If you're officially dating, and you're introducing her to your friends, you'd better damn well introduce her as your girlfriend. Or else.

13. Girls are fragile. Even if you're play fighting/wrestling, be very gentle. Let her win once in a while.

14. Memorize your girlfriend’s birthday. You forget her birthday and you're basically screwed for life. Not gonna lie.

15. Don't drench yourself in the cologne, but smell good.

16. You don’t have to spend a million dollars on the Birthday/Christmas/Valentine gift. It doesn't have to be expensive, or cost anything but it has to be meaningful.

17. Don’t ever lie to us; we always find out.

18. Don’t say you understand when you don’t. That’s bad.

19. Remember: Girls are pretty, but yours is the Prettiest!

20. Saying something sweet might get you off the hook; but doing something sweet will always get you off the hook.

21. Size does matter, but only to hoes; not girls that want relationships.

22. No matter what you say, your ex-girlfriend is a hoe. Don’t bother trying to convince us otherwise, that is a bad idea

23. It’s good to be sensitive, to a point.

24. If you did something wrong, apologize. Even if you didn’t, do it anyway.

25. You did something bad. I seem cool with it. I'm not. (See directly above.)

26. We are self-conscious by nature; we can’t help it. Let it be.

27. We don’t shave our legs every day so just get over it.

28. Shave your face, no matter how cool you think your goatee or beard or mustache looks, we probably hate it. We like you clean shaven.

29. Show off a little, we think it’s cute.

30. You are our boyfriend, our man, our protector, whether you know it or not, you are; act like it.

31. You are cute in raglan-sleeved T-shirts (two-toned baseball undershirts).

32. We love it when you hug us from behind and whisper in our ear.

33. "Fine" is NEVER an appropriate response when I ask you how I look.

34. Most of the time when I fantasize, it's about you. Don’t obsess over that.

35. I expect you to call me. If you don’t, you go down.

36. I'm more forgiving of you than I really should be. Don’t you dare take advantage of that.

37. When I compare my flabby tummy to a kangaroo pouch, say nothing.

38. You look hot in hooded clothing items. Always.

39. You should never tell a girl what to do. Ever.

40. Any decent man will ask a girl out to her face. I mean; if you aren’t man enough to ask us out to our face, who says youre gonna be man enough to our boyfriend at all.

41. Girls are very impressed when you ask them for advice. Unless its about another girl.

42. I'm unimpressed with a man who doesn't take the lead.

43. When in doubt, go with the shirt that matches your eye color.

44. You're sexy when you're shaving, fixing things, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, driving, eating a peach, holding a baby.

45. Girls need to hear how you feel about them. Often. Tell her now.

46. A girl wants to be the best thing that ever happened to you--and for you to recognize this and tell her.

47. If she’s not feeling loved, she will start looking....

48. We like it when you tell us what you're thinking, even if you don't know yourself. It’s cute.

49. It's cheating as soon as you're doing something with her that you wouldn't want me to see, hear, read...

50. For the record: I'd rather you break up with me than cheat.

51. We can fall in love with you without really knowing you, if you are an @ss, we will find out, and we will get over it. Fast. Don't ruin it.

52. You like her, make a move. Don’t just sit there, you will fail, and you won’t get her.

53. Guys who play sports are hot. They build muscle, and no matter what we will be at all of your games.

54. When you compliment us, we aren't sure how to accept the compliment without leading you on or reject the compliment without hurting you. So just bear with us here.

55. WE HATE BEING LED ON! If you think it's bad being led on by a girl, try being led on by a guy.

56. We like it when guys are willing to have an actual relationship, not just a one-night stand. Most girls don't like pimps or players, just guys who like ONE girl only.

57. But don't be obssessive. Major turn-off.

58. Call sometimes, just to say hi, not for a certain reason. When we see your number on caller ID, our heart always skips a beat. Try calling just to say good night, or good morning, its soo adorable!

59. BE HONEST!

60. Don't ONLY tell us what we want to hear. We HATE that.

61. At sleepovers, if you wonder what we talk about, quit worrying. It really is only you.

62. If you catch us staring, it is most likely because we're spacing out, not because we really stare at you. Unless we smile when you notice. Then you either look really hot, or we like you.

63. We like it when you hold us when we're crying. It's good to feel loved and safe.

64. Don't go to our friends to talk about us. Come straight to us.

65. Don't tell us you love us unless you are positive you mean it. If we don't say it back, it's just that we really want to mean it when we say it. Don't say it right away, then it shows lack of commitment.

66. We like our hands to be held and our waists to be touched.

67. We like you to kiss our hand and cheeks and forehead (esp. forehead!!), not just shove your tongue down our throats. We do like to breathe.

68. We like it when you're tender, but don't lose your masculinity.

69. Do chivalrous things when we least expect it (ex. holding doors for us).

70. As surprising as it may be, while guys might actually look at personality, the first thing girls look at tends to be looks. We're not going to see you and think, 'I wonder what his personality is like!' Terrible, but true.

71. If we love you, and youre hurt on the basketball court, rolling on the floor in pain; we’re hurting more just watching you.

72. We LOVE it when you get nervous around us. It's adorable! Don't think you have to be Mr. Cool Guy all the time.

73. Don't play hard to get. We’ll get bored and move on.

74. If you don't call us, then we will spend hours thinking about why you never called, and we will waste a lot of time thinking about it, eventually coming to the conclusion that we don't like you anymore.

75. We lost interest quickly if you lead us on but never take action.

76. We might seem to flirt a lot, but a girl always thinks about the one guy she really likes right before she falls asleep.

77. When a girl likes a guy, she subconsciously gives him a song that makes her think of him every time she hears it.

78. If guys do the same as girls do in #77, tell her what song reminds you of her.

79. Randomly compliment girls in conversations. If you're talking about sports, be like "Oh, by the way, that shirt really made your eyes look green today." It totally throws us off, and we love it.

80. Ask us about how we're doing once in a while, and at least pretend to be interested.

81. If we're not talking to you, we secretly want you to talk to us first.

82. Play with our hair without being like a gay hairstylist.

83. We get really happy when you show any sign of interest. Don't just do it and then never do it again. Bad bad bad…

84. Keep up the conversation on IM and phones and in person! Don't be awkward. That’s bad.

85. We will always feel bad if we don't like you back. Not all girls are b!tches, no matter what you may think. We hate to reject you.

86. ok, so some girls are b!tches and they like rejecting boys, but the people who wrote this group are not. better?

87. If we say "Let's just be friends", we really mean it. Don't keep trying to pursue us, and don't say ok and then ignore us. That's just mean and horrible.

88. It's adorable when a best guy friend who a girl has thought about liking confesses he likes her.

89. If you’re single, find the one girl who’s always there on the sidelines at your football game, or at each of your concerts, all your baseball games. She loves you. Her excuse may be that she’s there for her brother, but she’s really there for you.

90. After you find that girl, smile at her once in a while, it’ll mean the world to her.


91. Get to know her, you’ll make her year first of all, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll end up liking her.

92. Not all blondes are b!tches. Some are cool.

93. Not all blondes are sluts. Some have morals.

94. In your mind, give every girl a chance. Each one deserves at least one.

95. Girls fantasize too, its just not always about sex.

96. We girls give you guys code names so that you don’t know that we’re talking about you. :]

97. If you’re jealous, it may suck for you, but we think it’s attractive if you really care that much.

98. If a girl blushes when you talk to her, she either likes you or she's embarrassed by what you're saying.

99. Girls don’t really write your name on a piece of paper a million times if they like you, that’s a myth…… sometimes

100. If a girl really likes you, just seeing you will make her day.

101. Even if you aren’t all that cute, and we like you, we think you’re hot. Don’t take advantage of that, take pride in that.

102. Every time you smile at us, it may mean only a little to you, but it means the world to us. Don't take the little things for granted.


Can you agree that this list is a tad loco?

8 Second Quote

I Love this quote from the movie 8 Seconds:

Kellie Frost I don't like Bull Riders... They're little men with big egos. Besides, he's got one of them skinny butts like the rest of em'.
Kellie's Mom: Honey, I judge a man more by the size of his heart then his rear... It's likely to do you more good.

When Will I Be Loved

This is an awesome song by Vince Gill... I loveth it

I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved

I've been pushed down
I've been pushed 'round
When will I be loved

When I find a new man
That I want for mine
He always breaks my heart into
It happens every time

I've been made blue
I've been lied to
When will I be loved

When I find a new man
That I want for mine
He always breaks my heart into
It happens every time

Oh, I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved
When will I be loved
Tell me, when will I be loved

My Semi-NCIS weekend

So Friday night Megatron and I ended up in History Boy's room. How? I dont quite remember, but next thing I know, were watching X-Men: Origins (that one about how wolverine came about) and just relaxing. After X-Men was over I ran to my room and got 8 Seconds (its about a professional bull rider) by request and we then watched that. Well about halfway through the movie i got tired and layed down on the couch, well History Boy came back and sat down leaning back on me and arching his back to prevent from actually squishing me. I found this really sweet as he didnt disturb my comfort... Then the topic of Megatron and I's shopping trip came up and we were invited to spend the night at his room mates cabin.

So Saturday Megatron and I drove to Bozeman and did our shopping. We found these awesome yoga pants that are so comfortable! Then we went up the mountain to the cabin. It was so fun. We drove around on snow mobiles and then just sat around a fire in the cabin. It was nice to just relax with friends, and even get to use a cute boy as a pillow.

Then today I got to sit down and watch my NCIS.

Sorry this was just a wordy post without pictures... I forgot my camera card at the dorm

How was your weekend?

Hearts

We were given: Two hands to hold. To legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find.

Bird House & Billings



So this morning my dad and I were working in the garage. Ever since I left for school he has become quite the woods worker since I left. Hes built up his tools and such, almost looks like a legit wood shop now. Well he made a bird feeder and we put it up then he looked at me and asked if I wanted to help him. So he helped me as I cut the wood and used the scary nail gun to
make this bird feeder that Im holding.

In other news... Im blogging from the airport because Im heading back to Billings tonight! Im extremely excited, but at the same time, slightly depressed because I had to say goodbye to my parents again. Thankfully I had my sunglasses on, because i had tears rolling out of my eyes the whole ride down here. I think if i wasnt an only child, it wouldnt be as bad because I know someone else would be there to keep them happy... but nope... im the only one so when they say goodbye, their saying goodbye to the person who was their whole life for 18 1/2 years. How im going to miss them... how im not going to miss Vegas....

Leap Year


So I saw Leap Year today. I have been dying to see it since I saw the trailer on facebook. Why?
A. RomCom (romantic comedy)
B. Amy Adams is amazing
C. William Goode... is... well... look at him!
Anyways...

So the movie is about Anna (Adams) who wants to get married to her fiance. Well before he goes on a business trip to Dublin he gives her a jewlery box. Inside of it however is not the ring, but a pair of earrings. This sends her into a tizzy and overseas to propose herself. She ends up not making it all the way to Dublin and needs someone to drive her there. This is where Declan (Goode) comes into the picture. The two go on the adventure to get her to Dublin in time to propose.

Overall I liked the movie. It was a tad bit predictable at points, but still amazing. I would totally suggest seeing it.

I now want to go to Ireland and end up in the middle of nowhere in hopes of finding myself a cute, cynical, Irish lad.

and for viewing pleasure...

Skyline


So tonight I hung out up on a press box. As I sat there I looked out over the valley and saw tons of lights and realized... I dont like this. Nope, Im a small town girl it seems. WELL maybe not small, but certainly not city.

So come Sunday, I will no longer call this city home. It will be vacation, by hometown, the place I was raised. But otherwise Billings is my home. And will be for awhile I hope.

Loneliness

" People don't realize this, but loneliness is underrated"
-Tom (500) Days of Summer

I agree... goodbye me needing a boy.

Hello 2010. I am Katie and I am going to be boy-less this year.

wish me luck
