Ok GO






Here we go, here we go, here we go again. Yesterday I wasted the entire day in watching tv and moping around on the computer. I would have watched more movies except that the dvd player is broken, and I only have one movie on vhs- spiderman- which I already watched. Then I watched Angels in the outfield, the old version, while I snack on tortilla chips, mmm...
I was thinking earlier about how some people have thought that I look a little like Kirsten Dunst. What do you think?
I can kind of see it, but i don't think I would ever get me mistaken for her. If someone stops me in the grocery store and asks me what it was like to kiss what's his face upside-down in the rain, then I might believe it. But until then I will remain Marie, who looks like marie, and has a unique look all of her own.






Today I am going with a dear friend of mine, Jonathan Monk, to Old Town and we are planning on going on the slingshot- a ride that shoots you into the air like a sling shot and you go over 300 feet. It should be fun. I will make sure to tell all about our adventures, and hopefully some pictures too.

What not to do at a pool party

If ever invited to a pool party in which there will be partying of the normal nature, and reckless behavior of the natural sort, make sure to not be killed.  And not just to not be killed, but also be aware of any jumping football players who might land on your head, and fix your back.
   So, I went to a friend's pool party and was having a great time, laughing playing n the pool, and overall enjoying myself.  At about 9:30, the dj called everybody over to one side of the pool to play games and dance.  I participated for most of it, but when they wanted just the seniors to participate, I relaxed in the shallow end.  I started swimming over to the deep end, and in mid-stroke, I heard "watch out!" and a split second later realized why I should have listened, had I had time to do so.  The biggest guy at the party- about 6 foot, and looking like he had been sculpted to look like a titan, landed on my head.  I was plunged under water where I remained for what felt like a few minutes while I waited for the giant to get off of me, and I dizzily realized what had happened.  He apologized slightly while I hobbled over to the edge where I rested, recovering from what could have been a death blow.  The wound that I realized most was my tongue.  I wasn't sure if I had retained the entirety of it- if I had not had such a large overbite, I most definitely would be without the tip right now.  However, I was lucky and only had a cut on the underneath made by the bottom teeth.  I felt well enough otherwise- until the following day.  It was a fast Sunday, and I usually feel tired and hungry, but not like I did today. I felt extraordinarily tired and I had an ache in my neck and sinuses.  The chlorine that was pressed into my sinuses has remained and developed into an infection.  However, the odd occurrence was the disappearance of my lower back ache.  Apparently the titan was a chiropractor and knew of my pains, so had decided to heal me for free.  I just must not have seen the warning label that said, "may cause sinus infections, neck problems, and biting off of tongue."  Overall, although the result my be painful, if the medicine worked, it was worth it.

Feels like I've been here before

Since this is the first official blog on this, my new blogging site, I guess I should start off with a little description of myself. Since no one will probably ever read this, I am free to tell all. I was born in 1989 in the city of Orlando, Florida. I lived in St.Cloud until I left for college at the age of 18 to Brigham Young University in Utah. I love being at BYU and I also like my major- dietetics. I have seven brothers (half, technically, although 4 are basically "whole") who I am very grateful for- they are there to help me when I need them. I am a redhead, 5'6", with I love to laugh. I have been a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints for my whole life. I love watching and then quoting movies. Exercising and practicing good nutrition makes me happy. I played the saxophone for 7 years, but have retired from that, and now practice having no talents. I love any kind of sports and hanging out with friends- any kind of fun really, especially roller coasters and parks.
"So, now you got a little taste of what I do- it's pretty dang exciting, eh?"
