You Imagine in Songs that Have Never Been Played

Today is a very special day.

No. Not because people wear green and drunkenly kiss complete strangers. That is what makes this day disturbing.

No. It's not because the sun is shining and it's a balmy 43 degrees outside (I'm not even wearing a coat right now!![That does make this day awesome])

No, that is not why today is very special.

Today is my blog's birthday. On this day, five years ago, I wrote my very first blog post on this here blog.

Oh man. That paragraph... now somewhat unreadable with my current background... Sorry about that.

Anyway...

Five years ago...

Aw, I'm so cute!

  • I was twenty
  • I was living in Provo.
  • I still had my natural blond hair color.
  • I was pursuing my undergraduate degree in History.
  • I was excited about going to Hawaii at the end of April
  • I started my first three blog posts with the word so, which bothered me a lot when I realized that. It still does.
  • I had no idea what I should blog about ever.
  • I had just barely discovered what blogs were about a week previous, and was jealous that I did not have one.
  • My computer looked like this:


I am not even kidding. I was given my aunt's old laptop that a couple cousins had also used... It was sad.
Today...
 I am the one in the red coat. Do I look the same as I did as an infant?(More spring break info to come.)

  • I am twenty five.
  • I am living in Vermont.
  • I can't seem to stop dying my hair dark even though sometimes I think I should.
  • I am pursuing my juris doctorate (that is the only law degree that exists. In case you were wondering. People always ask me what kind of law degree I'm getting.... I'm getting the legal kind...You know, the one that lets me practice the law.)
  • I'm excited to go to Washington D.C. next week.
  • I'm even more excited to go home to Phoenix for the summer.
  • I still don't know what to blog about half the time but I sure do love it.
  • My computer is much improved. Oh, and now I have two laptops. I feel like a stupid decadent American. :-/
So, this is my blog. Thanks for reading. I have experienced some significant evolutions in the last five years, and I feel like I've really turned to blogging as a way to write down my thoughts and figure myself out.

I have dreams, big dreams, that I ponder upon during the day, and lay awake at night considering. So, there are big things to come in my life, and big things to come to this blog. I've got some new plans and ideas in the works. Of course it will all unfold right here.

Please stay tuned as my inspired thoughts continue to age and mature...

You are still as beautiful as you were as a baby. Did you buy a new laptop? Lucky.

MOM.

I bought a laptop in November of 2006.

Then when I got to VLS I had to get a school laptop.

Why don't you ever listen with your heart?

Green is the Color that Everyone Sees all Around Me

Today I had a meeting with the Professor over the Public Health Internship department at BYU. The following is a conversation that actually happened on my way there. Strange Creepy Guy on Bicycle: Hey how are you doing? Lil Renny: Fine. SCGoB : What is your name? LR : ... Lindsey SCGoB : Oh, well I just wanted to tell you you are a beautiful girl.

Together We're Invincible

If you can't handle the atmosphere of concerts don't go. That is all I have to say. I wish I had said it to the girl standing in front of me at the Muse concert last night. Instead I began plotting her downfall, but since I don't know her name or where she lives, I suppose she has escaped her terrible fate... for now. Aside from her constant rants and shoving backwards, causing me to fall into the people behind me, who then shoved me back into her to illicite her annoyingly dirty looks, the Muse concert was... amazing. This was definitely a very high budget concert. There was a sweet light show, explosions after certain songs, and his guitar was glittery and lit up. Like, an actual light in his guitar. Underneath the spectacular "special effects," you could tell that Matthew Bellamy is a guy who just wants to get out there and rock. So rock he did. On the guitar and the piano. Butterflies and Hurricanes was amazing. I would post a video of it... but it all sounds...

A Tragicomedy of Poetic Verse

If you could please all forgive me, I am taking the time to wax philosophical within this post. So Friday night I went and saw the movie "Stranger than Fiction." This was a highly good film and I would recommend that everyone go see it. Take home made cookies with you too, because you'll want to eat them. The premise of this film, for those of you that don't know, is that the main character, Harold Crick, begins hearing a voice in his head, narrating his life in third person omniscient. The voice is right about a lot of things, and is mainly very annoying until Harold hears the voice say that he is going to die. So, I began thinking about life and death. After all, thats the point of art, to make you think about life and death. So I did. We are all, for the most part going to taste of death at some point on this journey. Death in some form will come to all of us, through the loss of a loved one, or through our own. It will happen, we cannot stop it. So why did it be...
