I just found out that I DID get published on MLIA!
It was: Today, my mom and I were trying on clothes at the mall. Somewhere in the dressing room, someone lets out the biggest burp ever. We all giggle to ourselves until some lady cries out, "DIANA! That's not very ladylike!" A little voice then responds, "I'm not a lady, I'm five." That kid is going places. MLIA.
5421 people voted "average" (meaning that it was funny). YUUUUUUUS. (343 people voted "meh" meaning it wasn't very funny. And when added together that means that... a large number of people... have now seen my post.)
YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSS.

My cat's a genius
You know what I'm a huge fan of?
BLURB.COM
Publish any sort of books you want- I just did my journal! It's semi-confusing at first, but once you get it down, it's way fun to do. And from what I've seen, the results are flipping amazing. (I'll have my own personal testimant in like... twelve days. WOOOOOOOT.)
FACT: I think it's absolutely adorable that my cat plays in his litterbox. If I had to go to the bathroom in a sandbox, I'd want to stay and play, too.

Edward's in the Closet. No surprise there.
3 more Mylifeisaverage.com posts I submitted tonight:
1. (this actually happened a while ago... and I wasn't even there, but we still laughed when Stephanie told me about it) "Today, I was at my friends house. My friend's extremely conservative mom comes in and says jokingly, "You're a fun sucker!" Only, she mixed the F up with the S. She blushed, and we laughed, because it totally works. MLIA"
2. "Today, I tried to get onto to Mystery Google for the first time. My computer said the page couldn't be found. Well played, Mystery Google. MLIA"
And my personal favorite, which really DID happen about ten minutes ago, which I'm still laughing at:
3. "Today, while on google, I found a quote from Edward Cullen: "Would it be childish of me to hide in your closet?" I laughed. At least HE knows where he belongs. MLIA"

My Life Is Average FAILED
I'm quite upset.
To date, I've submitted at least 10 stories to Mylifeisaverage.com, and as far as I'm aware, NONE of them have been published. LAME. I admit, not all where fantastic, but some were decent. Therefore, I'll post them here, just so I feel like I haven't failed completely.
1. Today, I took my friends to Wal-Mart. Not wanting to go in, I stayed in my car. I thought, “Gez, it would suck if my car battery died.” Guess whose car battery died? MLIA.
2. Today, as I drove in a rural part of town, I came across a white picket fence with “Post No Signs” every three feet. While thinking that this was rather ironic, I saw a giant neon orange poster with the word “SIGN” in big letters. Thank you, rebellious teenagers. You made my day. MLIA.
3. Last night, while trying to fall asleep, I thought of the MLIA posts I had read earlier. I giggled to myself for over twenty minutes and woke up my roommate, making her mumble incoherently under her breath. When I finally fell asleep, I dreamt oh Harry Potter, ninjas, and coloring books. Thanks, MLIA. MLIA.
4. Today, while at lunch, I decided that "Crossroads" is a stupid name for the campus cafeteria. I then spent twenty minutes trying to decide what to eat. Touche, cafeteria. Touche. MLIA.
5. Today, my sister brought her fiancé to meet our family. Referring to his last name, Peterson, my grandma asked “O-N or E-N?” He looked confused, pointed to himself, and said slowly, “Greg.” I think I’m going to like this guy. MLIA.
6. Today, my roommate was making cookies. Seeing the dirty beater, I decided to steal some cookie dough. I licked it. Not cookie dough. Crisco. MLIA.
7. Today, my college friends were debating grocery stores in other states. One friend says, "Dude! You don't have Vons in Utah?" Another interjects in a scholarly voice, "But remember, Vons spelled backwards Snov." They all nodded solemnly and said "True that." ? I'm confused. MLIA

9. Today, I was eating cheesecake, and my fork went through the plate AND INTO MY LEG. It hurt. But cheesecake made it better. But only kind of. MLIA.
10. Today, when I came home to my apartment, I heard random singing. Turns out, two of our guy friends were hiding in two different closets in the hall. One would sing “OH! WE’RE HALFWAY THERE!” at the top of his lungs, and the other would respond “OH! LIVIN’ ON A PRAYER!” I think we’ve done Bon Jovi justice. MLIA.

Wasted Deliciousness
I completely failed at making Mac-and-cheese today. I put too much milk, thus resulting in Mac-and-cheese Soup. GROSS.
Oh, spiderman mac-and-cheese, I have failed thee.
I had to trash it and eat Top Ramen instead. I cried on the inside a little bit.

Fairytales are just BETTER
I took another quiz on Facebook today because.. well... because Facebook quizes are one of the best parts of Facebook. Today's quiz? What classic fairytale are you?
Now, I've taken this quiz numerous times. The result, today, did not dissapoint. As usual, Beauty and the Beast.
Which I think is amazing, because there is absolutely no other role I want to play than Belle in Beauty and the Beast. It's been my DREAM, since... forever.
(Also, I once took the quiz, "Which fairytale prince is for you?" and the result was the prince that the Beast secretly is. Ironic?

NEW DARKLIGHTLULLABYE POST
(new post on http://darklightlullabye.blogspot.com)
This one is a personal favorite- from one of my favorite and best-written (was that grammically correct?) work. It's about the moon.

Sleepless in Rexburg
Happy Monday.
Tonight I'm making my breakfast casserole, and we decided that since my family typically eats it on Christmas morning ("it has memories attached!") that we're going to play Christmas music while we eat.
My roommates ROCK. I don't know what I'm going to do without them when we all go home for Thanksgiving, for a whole week.
So, not only did I read a fantastic book last night, a Young Adult fiction about the French Revolution, but I had a FANTASTIC idea for a new story. And, as always when thinking of a new plot, I did not sleep. But what is one sleepless night, staring at the ceiling while coming up with twist and turns and wording, when such magnificance is to be born? I did, however, finally fall asleep around 7:45, after Camie had gotten up, blow-dried her hair, and left for class. I woke up at 2:28 when Walgreens called to tell me that my Prescription was ready to pick up. Thanks, Walgreens!
I am now currently in a terrific mood.
As I was yesterday. Sundays are good days. Church is a good thing. However, the best part of yesterday? While sitting around, making some comment that I no longer remember, my friend Greg turns to me, looks at me seriously, and says, "You have a good attitude."
Well, thanks Greg for noticing and for thinking it's cool. It just so happened to make my day.

Snowflakes on my tongue
More snow!
Woke up this morning, glanced out the window, and it was snowing. I got to lie in bed and watch it snow. SO COOL.
Random Fact: On multiple occassions, Spencer has disappeared into one closet in our apartment, and Travis has gone in the other. With the doors closed, Travis will belt out one line of Livin' On A Prayer, and Spencer will continue with the next line. SO. ENTERTAINING.
Last night? Craigos; massive movie night- Heath Ledger status, with Brothers Grimm and 10 Things I Hate About You.
(I heard the worst joke the other day, and I can't remember who said it: "What does Heath Ledger like on his cereal? DOESN'T MATTER- HE'S DEAD." So terrible.)
Tonight? Ward Ice Cream Competion (yeah, I'm confused, too), and Blacklight dance (win-a-date lottery included). EXCITED. Except, now I have to dig up a white shirt for the dance... or I could just scribble all over myself with highliters...
