BYU v. utah

Guys.. I left the game vs. Utah at the beginning of the fourth quarter! My roommate and I were SURE we were going to have an easy win, and we were hungry and tired. So we left when the score was 20 to 6. Fifteen minutes later we got home, started eating dinner, and turned on the TV. The score had changed to 20 to 17!! Holy smokes. We couldn't believe it, but let me tell you.. we were so grateful that the game was being shown on TV so we could feel like we were still there!!! Whew, what a game... it's crazy how many emotions we can feel during a football game. I love that it brings out so much passion in so many people, even when they're watching it at home. Gooooooo COUGARS!!! :)

He's Just Not That into You..

Ever since I saw previews for this movie, I was hesitant to see it. I'm a strong believer in love.. in faith.. and in hope. When I'm in a relationship, I trust with everything that I have. I love with all of my heart. I'm just programmed that way. It's great at times, but it's definitely the perfect way to get your heart broken over and over again. I knew this movie would represent me well.. the girl who is SURE the guy likes her.. who makes up every excuse possible for him and who believes anything he says. So I waited.. I waited months and months and I didn't see it. Well, last night I caved. My roomie and I watched it, and I loved it. It did make fun of everything I live by, but in the end.. love worked its way out. I thought it was an entertaining and honest portrayal of most girls I know. I liked the different stories it followed, and I liked to picture myself as the different girls in the movie. I thought it'd make me sad or make me question the way I live and love, but it actually made me happy that I do live that way.. that I don't hold back.. that I'm not afraid.

Relationships..

What do you guys think about starting and ending relationships through the media? Like... on facebook, over the phone, through texting. Do you think it's an insult or that it's just the way our society works now? I mean making things official on facebook is a big deal.. that's how the rest of the world knows if you're really dating or not. I'm not much of a fan of "firsts" through the media.. ask me out in person. Tell me I'm pretty in person. Tell me you love me in person. Maybe I'm just crazy.. :)

Forrest Gump

This is my little brother's all-time favorite movie, so I watched it the other day as I was thinking about him. I really like this movie. It does have a few innappropriate scenes, and there is some bad language, but I really like the messages it sends overall: fight for what you want, nothing's wrong with being different, love who you love.. and so much more.

Miss Congeniality

I love this movie! I remember it was my favorite when I was about 14, but my parents got rid of it because it wasn't appropriate. While I was watching it for the sexual content assignment, I was surprised at how "clean" it was to me. Don't get me wrong, there were inappropriate comments, but not like PG-13 movies that are playing now. It makes me feel like I'm a little too tolerant.. I love the movie nonetheless.

Everybody Loves Raymond

My family is OBSESSED with this show. A few years ago they bought all of the seasons on DVD, and I'm pretty sure they still watch it together at least 5 times a week. I really like it, but don't find too much time to watch it. When I was home in August I took one of their seasons back to Provo with me so I could watch it when I needed to laugh. My boyfriend and I love watching it together. Most of the time it's relatively clean.. not too much sexual content. Some episodes are pretty shady, but it's nice when you have it on DVD and you can skip to the next episode. If you ever need a good laugh about a family that oftentimes reminds me of my own, turn on Everybody Loves Raymond.
