rsl game + girl's weekend + the hunger games + sorbet + my neighbors are annoying (which is mean cause i don't even know them)

we chanced to be in utah last weekend, in time for rsl's first home game of the season, against the new york redbulls. we had a blast! to hear a whole stadium sing this brought chills, but in a good way. i have a video of it, but i'm singing extremely loud and it's kind of embarrassing. sorry.

michael, obviously paying attention to the game, and me... well, obviously not.

if you believe, then just stand up on your feet.

i miss the y! 

so mikie had a field trip from thursday to today. he's actually still in ogden right now, and it's 9:00... only three more hours till he's home. this will be a long night haha. but anyway, since he was gone i thought that i'd have a girl's weekend in and watch movies and do crafts and sew and stuff... did any of that happen? no, not really. all my friends were in school, studying for finals, and i was left to explore pinterest by myself. in fact, i was so bored that i temporarily considered cleaning my apartment. what did i do this weekend? i couldn't really tell you. oh i know. signed up for a twitter so i can follow my favorite celebs... ha okay, slightly embarrassing because i told myself i was never ever getting a twitter, ever. oh that's not the embarrassing part though, the embarrassing part is that out of the 16 people i've figured out how to follow, seven are from the united kingdom. of those seven, five are from harry potter, one is from one direction (hahaha did i just admit that?) and the other is simon pegg.

oh and since i was so lonely this weekend, i definitely watched the hunger games by myself. IT WAS SO GREAT I LOVED IT AHHH! i want to take michael to watch it next week. oh and my friend steph is coming to visit her fiance the week after, we'll probably watch it together then too. i could not have been more pleased with a book to movie adaptation. my whole theater was crying (or at least had wet eyes) during rue's death, i loved the capitol's clothing and make-up, josh hutcherson didn't look like a midget, it was just so so great. i loved peeta's interview with ceasar flickman, i loved katniss, that boy with the bread, ah. just perfection.

it's been hitting the mid-sixties lately, which is absolutely wonderful and i love it. except i am still not accustomed to hot summers. mid-sixties is my limit pretty much, so today i made some homemade strawberry-lemon sorbet (italian ice?). i'm eating it right now and it's absolute heaven, extremely cheap to make, and you don't even have to own an ice cream machine to make it. it just requires a lot of time for it to freeze, basically.

so we live in an old apartment complex. i heard it was built in the fifties or sixties, so granted there are a few squeaky floorboards here and there. my neighbors that live above me have the most uncanny ability to find the squeakiest ones and i swear that they just jump up and down on it, while throwing bowling balls around. literally, hours. it drives us nuts. oh, also part of their uncanny ability is to all of that right before we try to get to sleep. oh and sometimes they vacuum at eleven at night, no big deal. ugh.

but to end on a brighter note, the semester ends in just two weeks (i say that like i'm a student or something... ha, tricks.), mikie won't have 7:45AM classes anymore, our friend luke is getting married, and it's almost time for general conference. life is awesome!
