A Gnome

Last week I had a guy from my ward, Hank, ask me out on a date. Now, I wasn't exactly interested in the guy in the first place, but I decided to be polite and go on the date. It was an interesting date...He took me to dinner and a high school basketball game. Throughout the night he would make joke of how demented I was with my arm in my sling and he had a bad habit of reaching over and eating my food. When it came to conversation it was different....he doesn't like to read and he has no preference on music. Basically, after the date I wasn't keen on setting a wedding date and I thought he felt the same way too since he took me home earlier.

A couple of days later I came home from the Journal and my roommate Jessica told me I had a present. It was a gnome. Yes, a gnome from Hank. I asked Jessica if he explained why he was giving me a gnome and she told me that he said I would understand what it was about. I don't. I have never had a conversation about gnomes with anyone until he gave me one.

The End.

Round Four! (Aka my fourth semester)

So, here I am back in Cedar City. Sorry I disappeared without really saying goodbye to anyone. I actually got invited to the Editor's Retreat for the newspaper so I left a bit early. Technically, I am not an editor I am a still a reporter and paginator (which is a fancy word of saying I assist with layout). I was invited though to be trained on layout. The Editor's Treat was more of a party than anything else. Yes, we did learn some stuff and were trained a bit. But mostly we watched the movie Goodnight and Good Luck and than we played Rock Band for three hours. Somehow I ended up being the singer, but I still tried the bass guitar and the drums (not so good at the drums). P.S. Rock Band is a video game for anyone who did not know.

The rest of the week we have been putting our first issue together and tomorrow I finally get to do layout! I am so excited/nervous.

I am starting classes on Monday and I will let you guys know how that is.

That is about it...for now.

Script Analysis

This year I am in a script analysis class and I just finished a group project on making plot changes to Oedipus Rex. My group and I set it in the 21st Century having Oedipus Rex running for senator and is better known as Oeddi Rex. So, my group and I created two commercials for the project. The first one is a campaign commercial and the next one is a Miss Cleo (played by me)commercial where she predicts the prophecy in the original play. My group and I put ti on YouTube.

Halloween

This Halloween I was invited to my first murder mystery dinner. I was invited by editors on the newspaper staff. It was a western themed mystery and my character's name was Helena Handcart. It was a lot of fun! We had tacos for dinner and than we did the mystery. It turned out my character was crazy after getting "laughing cow disease." I guess my character would walk around town a lot naked. I was not the one who commited the crime, because naturally it was the hooker...I had a really good time. The editors on the staff have slowly become my friends instead of just my bosses. The picture is the costume I put together for it.

I'm Alive

Just wanted everyone to know I am still alive...just nothing intresting happens! Well not recently at least. Love you all!

My Phone Is Retarded...Thus I Am Getting A New Phone!

Hey Everyone!

So you know how my phone is the most retarded thing? Well last night it got worse...it froze basically...I can hear when my phone rings and feel when I have text messages but I don't see any of it. So, today I am getting a new phone! YAY! But I will have lost everyone's numbers! BOO! So, give me a text after like noon today so I know your number and life will be good! Or if you hate me this is a great way for me never to be in touch with you guys ever again...your call.

Dana

A Bit of a Prank

On Monday I was done with my classes and didn't have any stories to work on for the Journal. So, I was just hanging out in my apratment with my roommate Charly. We were sitting on our couch and randomly thought, "Wouldn't it be fun to steal and hide our own couch cushions?" So we did. We stuffed them in the trunks of our cars, but while we were doing that our roommate Ariel caught us. So, she became a part of the prank too.

Basically after stashing them we all left the apartment, because we are bad actors and didn't want to be there when our other roommates came home. When we did finally have to be confronted with the situation we were able to act like we had no idea what was going on...AND THEY BELIEVED US!

We decided to wrap the couch cushions and our friend in the ward is doorbell ditching a cushion every night.

However, Charly, Ariel and I are sick of not having cushions so we are going to ask Tiffany, our friend in the ward, to doorbell ditch the rest of them tonight.

And that is what I do when I am bored.

The End.
