want slash need

I can't believe i hadn't seen this movie before. it was way ahead of its time and i found it extremely fascinating. it reminded me a lot of wes anderson's films.

remember how great cubbies were in elementary?

"out of all the times we did stuff together, did we ever actually do anything legal?"

probably not.

i've never really been much of the type that likes to do what i am supposed to do. which is probably why my dad calls me everyday and tells me how much he DOESN'T want me to go on a mission in hopes that i WILL go on one.

dear dad,
reverse psychology doesn't work if you tell me you are using reverse psychology.
love,
kimberly

in other news,
life is good. i heard this quote i really liked today (heard: i was facebook stalking and read it from some girl's quote box). it went something like......"every sixty seconds you spend upset is another minute of happiness you'll never get back." super cheesy, i know. but it really resonated with me when i read it. i think because it helped me to realize I have control over how I decide to react to situations in my life. I can choose to be angry/annoyed/hurt or be happy and learn to not put myself in those situations i don't want to be in.

i picked up a new hobby cause i was bored friday:











obsessed with this song

i am loving this weather. it seems like mother nature has all her seasons mixed up this year however. the heat from last week and the rain this week has the leaves on the trees confused. they are finally starting to do their thang now though.

fall means layers. lots of layers. fall is my favorite fashion season.

it also means pumpkin flavored goodness: pumpkin bread, muffins, cookies, seeds, etc.

as well as, good television. more specifically another season of america's next top model. thankyoutyra.

this has become the semester of doing things outside my comfort level. i'm not much of a natural leader, i'm not very vocal and i am not good at telling people what to do. so naturally those are the positions i have been put into this year. team captain, natural resource pr/publicity person, and sunday school teacher. my weaknesses will be made my strengths right? i hope so.

they played mumford and sons on last weeks greys anatomy. it made me cry a little inside.

i started out hardcore spinning on cardboard

another year of school is here. the thought still makes me sick. summer seemed too short. especially the end. which was the best part. hmmm...

things are already in high gear it seems. back to school. back to running. back to procrastinating. same old same old.

but some things are new and better this time around.

relationships

friends

longer hair

more meaningful classes

team

faster legs

i guess i am supposed to call myself a senior (even though i have two more years of this). its strange to feel like i am supposed to be growing up, but also feeling like i am nowhere near being there. people around me seem to be getting that down. maybe. i don't necessarily think being married = grown up. but what do i know?

this summer has brought an unbelievable amount of changes to me. it ended with me feeling pretty content and okay with myself and where i am at. its good and i am excited for this year. but i have to say some goodbyes to summer oh ten.

goodbye:

hyrum dam at midnight

meeting halfway

sports bra runs

sparklers

spontaneous dance parties

watching hours of arrested development

i will miss you. till next summer.
