a movie review (but not really.)

**disclaimer: please excuse the following post.  it'll probably be rather embarrassing, but i firmly believe that everyone should be entitled to a fangirl post occasionally. jussayin.




you know what can make something already good even better?

when its a surprise!! whether its a surprise gift, surprise party, or just a random act of kindness, surprises are the best.

last night, i waited for several hours (i won't mention how many...) to see the 4th pirates of the caribbean at midnight. don't judge. well, imagine my surprise and happiness when a super hottie unexpectedly appeared on screen! needless to say, we spent the whole movie swooning over this guy.

meet sam claflin:  24 year-old, british import, & super hottie... with an apparent fondness for newsboy caps.

seriously?  best. surprise. ever.
who could resist those dimples & perfectly tousled hair?!
(not to mention the accent.)
oh, and dont worry. his next role is as prince charming.

no, i'm not kidding.

see the movie. i guess its pretty good.
if for no other reason than this, you wont regret it :]

i've got the (bieber) fever.

i used to be a hater.

until i saw never say never 3D director's fan cut edition last night.

(including 40 mins of new material, more star power, and another dimension added in.)

its now safe to say im a bona-fide belieber.

 

it was really so good.  i never realized how talented and cool and lovable he is!:] i laughed (nearly to tears-- the snoop dog/hair interview?! hilarious), got chills, and kept finding myself smiling stupidly at the screen for no reason.  let's just say its an ultimate feel good movie.

and yes, the end kind of (really) made my day.  let's just say we got into it. 

i'm in love.

p.s. it was his 17th birthday yesterday! he's only 1 year younger than me... jussayin.

hours later..

don't mess with The Jimmer.

in case you haven't heard, The Jimmer is kind of a big deal.
especially around provo.
& apparently some people don't like that very much...
case in point: michelle peralta.
she wrote an angry letter to BYU about "Jimmer-worship" and posted about it on her (public) facebook profile... which was a mistake.
within 1/2 an hour, nearly 1000 comments had been posted on her wall.
all of which are hilarious and worth the time to read.
this has been covered by ESPN, NBC, and basically every other news and church organization.
she ended up blocking and eventually deleting her facebook profile.
read the whole thing here.

a little taste of the comments (most of which follow michelle's "religious" theme):

• “For God so loved the world, he gave us Jimmer.”
• “I noticed in your letter that you accidentally forgot to capitalize some of your pronouns when you referred to The Jimmer. I am sure He doesn’t appreciate that.”
• “JIMMER IS THE GOLDEN CALF!!!!!!!”
• “Whoever said ‘No one is perfect,’ obviously never met The Jimmer."
• “Though shalt love The Jimmer as thyself.”
• “Wow. Glad I finally finished reading this article. Now I can brush my teeth, pray to Jimmer, and go to bed.”
• “On the Marriott Center court. The Jimmer brought a dying lamb back to life, just by nuzzling it. As the onlookers gathered, the lamb sprang to life. The Jimmer then shot it through the netfrom 40 feet, instantly killing it. This was just to prove that the good Jimmer giveth, and the good Jimmer taketh away.”
• “One time, the BYU Basketball team was walking on the beach and they looked back and only saw one set of footprints.”
• "If Jimmer is Nephi that makes Tre’von Willis Laban.”
• "I'm trying to be like Jimmer, I'm shooting from 30 feet away. I'm trying to cross over people like Jimmer does, to punks like Tre'von and DJ Gay. At times I am tempted to cheer for the yewts, then the holy Jimmer whispers into my thoughts saying "love one and other except for the yew. Try to score 50 in all that you do. Be humble but cutthroat in deed and in thought." For these are the things Jimmer taught."
• "Chuck Norris wears Jimmer pajamas"
• "Who can find the Jimmer? For his price is far above rubies."
• "the three nephites who chose to never die chose that only so they could watch jimmer play."
• "jimmer stared at the sun. the sun blinked."
• "for the natural Michelle is an enemy to Jimmer, unless she yields to the enticings of the Holy Jimmer, and putteth off the molly mormon and becometh a fan through the power of The Jimmer"
• "Champions eat Wheaties for breakfast.  Jimmer Fredette eats champions for breakfast."

... and they go on and on and on.

i think that maybe Shawn Bradley, Chad Lewis, and LaVell Edwards said it best in their video:

new roomie!

Angela and i got a new roommate the other day!

he is wonderful & we love him a lot.
his name is Wentworth (or "The Beast"),

and he is a couch we bought from DI.
it took 7 girls about half an hour to get him in the building, down the hall, and through the door...

but in the end, it was worth it.

of course, he is named after this fantastic man....
(wentworth miller)

whom we love, thanks to the best show ever...
(prison break)

which we just finished the other day.
(yep, all four seasons and the movie.)

...it's not like we're obsessed or anything...

2 things that i love?

firefighters & free stuff!
(the reasons why my last couple days have been super cool.)

wednesday night, the fire alarm in Hinckley Hall went off (good work, girls having a hairspray fight).  my awesome friends and i decided to do the most logical thing in that situation... break back into the building (after we evacuated), grab money/coats, and go to Costa Vida.

however, we soon realized that fire alarm=firefighters, so we hung around and got pictures with the guys and trucks that saved our building. 
(and hit up Costa Vida after)

thursday was the housing fair, and one thing that i've learned at BYU is that fairs guarantee free stuff.
so, some friends and i went twice. our spoils include:

(two t-shirts, two pens, a new kind of vitaminwater, & a manicure.  not pictured: popcorn, gelato, and countless pamphlets)

oh, what an exciting life i live!
