The Monkeyball Games:
Sometimes it's all about thinking it through and figuring it out in your head, and other times it's all about just going for the goal without looking around or hesitating. Either way can be very rewarding.
The way you think about a problem or challenge can sometimes determine your success. And sometimes your success will change the way you think about things. Perspective is such an important key to learning.
The Sonic the Hedgehog games:
"Nothing starts until you take action. If you have time to worry, just run." Just start working on what is worrying you, or if you can't, forget about it for a while!
Helping people can be fun!
You can still be happy while doing difficult or scary things.
It's important to follow your heart, because everyone has an intuition about right and wrong. If you are doing what is right, never give up your fight.
When you are confident in yourself, not much can stop you. It's not always easy to as confident as the characters in Sonic, it's worth it to work towards confidence and independence.
Whatever you do with your life, you should enjoy it and be able to find ways to make it fun. That's what will take you far, is finding enough enjoyment in your work to make you work hard.
Legend of Zelda:
If you are humble, the good things you do will become great.
You don't become a legend by being selfish and lazy. You have to give service to others and work hard.
Music is a wonderful tool that can be used for good.

The end of summer
Here are some new things in my life:
New Job: Working on the events crew at school. This includes taking care of cleaning the various sports venues on campus, and being there for set up and take down of events in said sports venues. I also have to be there during events to clean anything as needed. I like my job, my co-workers and managers are all fun and humorous people. It's definitely different from any job I have had before, but I like that it keeps me moving and active, and time flies by where you are detail cleaning various parts of a basketball court. Plus I ran into the men's basketball coach on the elevator and even had a short conversation with him, which is awesome because he is practically worshiped by the student body. Nobody ever gets to talk to him, any many people are too scared to try. Luckily he greeted me first in this case.
New favorite movie: Fantastic Mr. Fox. Incredible animation and the dialogue is genius. It's definitely in the "hilarious and heartwarming" category, but the humor goes where many other movies don't, with many precious awkward moments. It's pretty quotable as well. Being from a Roald Dahl book, the storyline is, of course, very fun. The soundtrack is great. Definitely in the "buy ASAP" category for the DVD and soundtrack for me.
New major: I changed my major to Family, Consumer, and Human Development, and the new semester starts on Monday. It's very similar to my old major. I don't feel all that excited to learn yet, which is a shame because usually I am excited for at least one class just for the subject of it. I am having a hard time feeling committed to a major. As my sister and one of my old roommates has said before: "Can't I just major in crafts?"
New TV show of interest: My sisters have been watching a lot of Bones lately, and that is a pretty fascinating show. The characters are so quirky and fascinating, which is what really makes this show stand out. It makes me think about how interesting people are, after all, it's my interest in people that keeps me somewhat interested in my major.
I though a lot last week about whether I am an interesting person or not. Everybody is a lot less simple than they seem. Well, that's obvious.
Everyone is complicated, but I don't know if all those little complications and quirks people have matter so much as what they choose to do with what they have.

Word Barf, Married Life, and Confidence
Word Barf:
That's what I have found my blog to be. This blog probably makes me sound incredibly moody, unintelligent, and irresponsible. I hope it hasn't given too much of a bad impression. The thing is, I really am a great writer. I just don't care to write anything that good on here. I always get A's on my papers, and have ever since I can remember. If I had a career as a writer or journalist, I would be successful, and hate every second of it.
I guess I am just validating to myself that even though I don't have a pretty background, I am not good at posting cool photos, and my prose isn't gorgeous, the whole point of this blog from the beginning was to help me document my life, and let out the topics struggling to get out. I don't know why I write what I write, but I don't really care.
Married Life:
I got married on June 1st, 2010. It was amazing. Since getting married, my character and personality are already evolving in totally new ways. Sharing life with Craig is great because everything is so much more rich with humor, fascinating, and fun. We really ignite each others' creativity. What I've found is that what makes Craig and I fit together so well is that we are both dreamers. We daydream about all these fantastic things, and we yearn for life to be extraordinary.
Anyway. We've got our apartment looking pretty cute now, and have made a couple friends in the ward. Life isn't easy, but it is so much better. Maybe I will post about the cruise we went on for our honeymoon, but honestly the most exciting part for me was buying stuff to wear. I was so tired the whole time, because the ship made me super dizzy.
But there was a craft fair at Freeport, and that just made me so happy. I bought the cutest seashell earrings, and we got christmas ornaments.
I also bought a t-shirt, to cut and tie, a pin made from fish scales, and a dress. woo!
Confidence:
Something I lack lately. Reasons?
1. I've been gaining weight. After going a month before the wedding too stressed and busy for healthy food or an exercise regimen, it's become difficult to get back on track. I hate how it makes me feel. and I hate how tired I am. Seriously, all the *insert bad word here* that happened with the wedding practically destroyed my body. Why is everyone so mean to brides?
2. Job hunting. I've been going at it for way too long. It makes me feel sooo...dumb. I have learned all the tricks for writing good resumes, how to dress and talk like the perfect job candidate, but I just can't get a job. It's so frustrating to me, and I feel like an invalid, spending so much time at home. I know it's mostly because there are very few jobs available and many, many seekers, but I need to work. I need it to be sane. Everyone does. Plus with this constant applying for jobs, I feel this huge pressure to be absolutely perfect, and I am not.
I don't know what to do about it. I feel like even bringing these thing up now is a bad idea, like it'll just make everything worse. Somehow I just keep trying to get a job. That's one thing about me that would make me a valuable employee, is that no matter how bad it is, I just keep trying anyway with a smile on my face. I have gotten really good at pretending to be perfect, that's for sure. I should be a secret agent, seriously.
All in all, life is still better being married. Craig is so encouraging and we have so much fun together.

Stuff that is going on in my life
\
My life is moving at a million MPH right now.
I don't move that fast, unfortunately, because I have a killer head cold that makes me desperate to sleep for hours on end. I am starting to get better though, and hope that I am done being sick for a while, since I have been sick most of the past semester.
Anyway, here is what has happened this month:
Finals Week:In all honesty, finals week is the most fun week of the semester. Study for a couple hours each day, as needed, and then you are free to play the rest of the day! And play I did. Lots of coolies and cheesy movies were involved. We watched The Hobbit and Willow-I'm almost always up for old-school fantasy movies. Hot Rod and many a Spongebob episode were thrown in too.
The Wednesday of finals week, I finished all my tests, and Corey, Jacob, Craig S., Ben, and two new-ish girls in the group went and jumped off a bridge, right into a very, very, very cold river. It was frightening and exhilarating. When I jumped in, the water froze up my muscles and lungs, and knocked the wind out of me. I could barely move enough to swim, and almost got swept under the bridge. But I made it, and proved to myself yet again that I am strong and can handle difficult things.That night, Corey, Claire, Jacob, and Liz and I had a bonfire in an alcove in the side of the mountain. It was awesome. We made crazy tribal noises. And roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.
I love adventures; I love nature.
The next day I packed up and moved out of my apartment. It took FOREVER to clean the hard water deposits off the shower. (That was one of my assigned jobs.) It's nice I won't be going back.
Being Home:
Craig and I went on the first real date we've had in a while, and it was nice, but my tolerance for restaurant food is ever-decreasing. But we saw Iron Man 2, which is one of my new favorites.
Last Monday, I got to go see Fun., Relient K, and Paramore perform at the E-center, with Craig, RJ, and Miche. So chawsome. They all were such great performers-totally rocking out.
Of course, we went to Denny's afterward, nice and hyper.
The Friday after that, Craig and I started moving stuff into our apartment. Woo hoo! We really like our little place. I am going to make it look super cute!!
Saturday I went through the temple for the first time, and is was simply wonderful. It pretty much erased most of my stressed out feelings. I want to go as often as possible.
Other than that, I am working on little wedding details 24/7. I am always tired, and can hardly keep my thoughts in order, but it's all coming together, and there is so much good to anticipate.

Convincing The Escapist
Well, it's that time of semester again, the time during which I have had all the life and reality I can handle. I believe I wrote a post this time last semester: http://brynnella.blogspot.com/2009/11/escapist-desires-escape.html
The Escapist is crying out for some attention, and though she's been getting a little, I've only delivered a half-hearted attempt of escape be watching garbage youtube videos and buying some ice-cream. Pretty much, Anti-Escapist procedures. (and by Anti I mean my understanding of the biblical definition, that is, a mimicked version of something that delivers opposite results.)
As usual, it's the overload of learning too many things too fast about my full-fledged adult future, the loss of hope for a place in my world for fantasy and play, the stress of registering for classes and figuring out how I'm going to graduate, and that intense change looming in my future.
Don't get me wrong, I am excited for the future, but The Escapist resists. And why wouldn't it? "They" say when you grow up, you can't just randomly be involved in exciting things. You have to stay at your house and take care of your home and family. Your life is restricted by responsibility and other weird stuff.
But if there is anything I've learned this semester, listening to what They say only brings fear, doubt, and hopelessness. Why do they say such negative things anyway? Who gave Them the right to pronounce that my life can't be a fairytale, the the paths I choose won't bring me happiness? The Man Upstairs didn't tell me that, so why should They? They don't even know what makes me happy!
So, I (with lots of help from The Escapist) will just have to disprove what They say. Who wants to listen to those Negative Nancies anyway?

Health Nut, Fitness Freak
Ok, so I could qualify as neither a Health Nut or Fitness Freak, but I have made a few health milestones during this past semester, and it makes me super happy. So, I am going to share them with everyone.
January 1st: Make a goal to excercise regularly and read scriptures/pray every morning. Haven't been 100% perfect on this goal, but definitely above 75%!
Late Jan.: Try to reduce my sugar intake. Stop buying sweets every time I go to grocery store. Also stop buying American cheese! Eating way more fruits and veggies, and now they are delicious to me.
Mid Feb: Reducing sweets isn't working as well as i want, so I try to give up sugar for Lent. Complete failure...however, sugar intake is still slightly lessened
Also, started eating breakfast pretty much every day!
Late Feb: Start walking to and from school more often. Frequency of walking to and from school increases to every single day by spring break! It no longer hurts to walk up that hill!
After spring break: Get off the exercise wagon for a couple weeks, but then get back on and doing better than before! Doing Zumba for a half hour-an hour 3 times a week!
A couple weeks ago: Not feeling as hungry at school.
1 week ago: went to a dance and danced for 3 hours and barely even felt tired. Loved it! The next day, i was taking the garbage out and noticed how strong my abs feel. I loved it and thought: ok, lets not lose this feeling.
Last night: Did my first 5K fun run at midnight. It was put on by USU and it was so fun and very tiring! I know 5K isn't huge or anything, but I had never even run like half a mile so it was pretty big for me! My friend Corey, who is an avid runner, was very patient and kept with me the whole time, even the times I was power-walking. He just kept saying positive things and that he is proud of me! When he told me to be like Sonic, that's when I did my best. I automatically sped up every time I thought of that blue hedgehog. Weird, I know, but it made me happy. Most of my most positive and encouraging friends were there, so it was super fun. I wish Craig could have been there to see it, because running those 5 kilometers was so awesome!
Of course, it wouldn't have been something characteristic of me to do if we hadn't all dressed up for it! I wore my usual bright colored getup, with hair pulled up on top of my head and 4 colors of bright eyeshadow. Corey wore frilly bloomers over his spandex, and this ugly sweater that I secretly think is awesome. I would totally wear it. Little Craig wore bright orange and green running clothes and a burger king crown.
I haven't lost a ton of weight or anything, but I do feel more energetic, and I do feel like a look better. I stand much straighter.
My nutrition class has been a huge motivator in becoming more healthy. I am learning so much about eating healthy and how important it is to get exercise. I appreciate eating healthy food so much more, so I enjoy it and crave it! If your are in school i would suggest taking a basic nutrition class. It is definitely not an easy class, but it's very interesting and totally applicable.
I hope reading this has motivated you to become more healthy. It feels so great to eat better and have more energy!

Easter Easter Easter
Easter happens to be my favorite holiday. This year, it wasn't totally full of excitment and wonder like most of my Easter years, but it was still a good one.
Saturday: Craig and I watched conference and held little puppies, given birth by a friends' dog. They were so cute and little. As usual, Elder Holland blew me away with an incredible speech.
In between conference sessions, Craig and I had our own little Easter party. We went to the park and swung on the tire swing, which unfortunately didn't last long because it made me so motion sick! Since when did stuff like that give me motion sickness?! It must mean I am getting old. Which is stupid because I'm only 20.
Anyway, after that we moved to the normal swings, and had a grand time. As TJ Dettweiler Said in the Disney show Recess: "Swinging is 50% Body, 50% heart, and 50% soul." (Or something like that) Pumping on a swing is a good workout. It feels good, doesn't overwork you, but you definitely know you got some good exercise by the time you are done. We were some excited kids on those swings.
While swinging, we played the game "Get out of my toilet". Basically when I was little, if my friends and I were parallel to each other, we'd yell "Get out of my toilet" to each other. So, Craig and I did the same thing. Once, I got in his toilet on purpose, just to bug him. I don't know where it came form, but it still makes me laugh like crazy to yell it while on the swing-set.
After playing on the swings, Craig and I played Pooh-Sticks. This is a game where you get some sticks, drop them off the side of a bridge, and see who's stick floats to the other side of the bridge first. It's very exciting.
Basically, going to the park was the best part of my weekend. :) And after the park, we went and bought easter candy!!
Saturday night we looked through old pictures of Craig for the reception slideshow. hehehe. it was so sunny to look at him as a cute little child. I can't wait till we look through my pictures!
I wish I had paid more attention to general conference, because it was really good. I am definitely going to look up the talks and review a little bit.
I sure like Easter. Easter kinda is the mark for when the year starts getting enjoyable. From January to Easter, life sucks, but after that, there is always a lot more to look forward to.
