not going to throw up.

maybe. let's just say i've got news.

Good news: i'm done with my finals! except one online one. that's wednesday-thursday. and it's environment. pukey.
news: i might have some good boy stories coming up. how soon? no one can tell... or maybe they can. i'm sure some can. and then sometimes i'm like "eh.." and others i'm like "aaaaahhh!"
Other news: CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HEEERRREEE! guess how excited i am. 100000%.
i'm still stuck on the boy news. i'm just. ahhhh. and ahahhhhhhhh. and like. ahehhhhhhahhh. you know? aahhhghhhhh
let's see some other things.. christmas...
oh! haircut. i'm getting one. it might look like this:

minus the purple. whadya think?
idk. i'll post a pic sometime. ahghhha.
ok. ok. i'm going to bed now. sleep in tomorrow! hair cut at 2. work at 4. date with Jayme at 9. awesome.
love ellen.

once upon a time...

okay. remember forever ago with the flirty boy and all? funny story... i helped him while at work today and Amy grabbed his card from my hands and looked for his name. Jesse. his name is Jesse. and he has an Alaskan drivers licence even though he's not from Alaska because he worked up there last summer.

and he flirted. again. Why must he be so handsome and cool? and then seem like he has a girlfriend. less cool. i'm so sad. weird thing...i typed that and then i watched tv and forgot i had written that last sentence. odd. whatever. here's hoping he doesn't have a girlfriend and that's like his sister or something.. that'd be cool. because he's super flirty. and i totally love his glasses. and face.

uhm.. something else. I went to salt lake last weekend. it was nice. me and some friends from my french class went and saw Like Crazy. dislike {more on that in a minute}. then we went to settebellos and it was delish and we rode trax and it was freezing. anyway. about the movie: ugh. i just. ugh. it was very open ended and was too ambiguous on the ending. i wanted them to be separate forever so that we could just get it over with. and it just felt like a big, long, sad love story where no one was happy and nothing was ever right. so whatever.

oh and i had a cell phone loss scare today. but i found it so no big deal. then i talked to my mom, my dad, and marcus on the phone. maybe i should lose my phone more often so i can have reasons to talk to people. hah. uhm... also some other things happened.

finals are next week! AGH! I have to have to have to have to have to have to study like a mill bazill.
something else at work today: we cleaned up what smelled like someone taking a potty break for several months on end that was hidden under the sink. it was super gross and i gagged. luckily, though, there was a pillar between me and Jesse so he didn't see me gag. it was gross. and that's that.

my feets hurt.
i'm gonna work on my paper now. night!

All Hallows week-before

seriously, it's been a lot. i think i'll make this a bulleted list!

• to start (because the picture thing is being a bum again) i got my fingernail all tore up putting away nakeds. hah. i mean naked juices. and also, there's a fan in the back of the fridge i accidentally got too close to and yeah. ow. and now i've got this really gross thing on my finger and i've gotta wear silly gloves at work and in the shower to make me not have to constantly change my bandaid or snag the dangly nail on anything. grooossss. sorry.. but still. here's a picture of my bandaid shortly after the incident
• found free streaming Doctor Who season 6! Hoooooorayy!! 
• speaking of the Doctor, me and my ward-mate Marcus are going to be the Doctor and a companion (probably Amy once i find a wig maybe. or donna. probably amy.) for halloween this monday! (unless not. because there's nothing happening. eh. but still) hooray again! 
• there was this guy at work today who was wearing a full on tux and then here's what happened: his friend (we'll call him guy 2) asked to see the tea choices. Amy (my boss) said "you've gotta give us something for it" (or something like that...) and the tux guy says "I'll give you a kiss" and Amy says "You'll have to ask my husband about that... but she [pointing to me] would be willing" and I say "I'm more of a fist-bump kinda girl." and he puts a piece of gum in his mouth and i'm like ew in my brain and then amy asks him why he's wearing a tux and he shrugs and says "just for fun." and i'm like double ew in my brain. so that's... interesting... 
• and i should've posted this earlier but there was a guy at work before i left for home that played like 20 questions with me and his name is Blair and that's his middle name and he's seen me around. so that's... interesting... 
• I went home. and it was super nice. i slept a ton and ate some yummy food and went to Logan and my dad helped me make chili for our FHE halloween chili cook-off slash party thing and it was cool. i didn't win, but Emily did and it was good. my cornbread should've won though. that stuff's like cake. I'll probably bring it to Italian Night on sunday. 
• doctor who never ceases to excite me. never. and i love it a mill.
• and i got some fancy facewashes today! It's that neutrogena skin id stuff and, so far, it's really nice. and it came with a lot too! like a 3-step regiment, spot treatment, body-acne spray, and a little tote bag. aww. i'm excited. it's super cool. and here's to helping my weird new acne problem. 
• i took a really stressy American Lit test today but i think i did well. i made post-it note cards. then i made them accordian style and it was even better. then i drank a cream soda before and it was good. good.
• french is fine. sometimes i accidentally speak in french and stuff. like i was just watching doctor who and he kept saying nephew and i kept translating "neveu" (i seriously just had to google how to spell nephew. sad day. and i'm an English major! who'da thunk?). 
• there was another thing but i forgot it. it's okay. i'll remember later and then say something or something. and yeah.

I think that's all.. 

Doorbell! I wonder who?

it's for Gabi. no suprise. 

so i'm gonna go watch more Doctor. k cool.

love, ellen

"I am so sad, I am so very very sad"

I bought Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World! it was only 10 bucks at walmart. And i've already watched it like 3 times. i love.
but that's not all this title has to do with my post, oh no. This pic should describe everything...

ok... not everything sucks. actually, it's pretty decent. I like my job still, school is... alright. busy but alright. And i like my ward a lot.

We went to the corn maze last night and it was super fun. Well... we got lost. obvz. and then we went to Del Taco like usual and it was cool. We chilled and chatted and left.

And i have a new bff! hah. Emily is way cool. we're cool. hah. she's in my ward and we chill.

but i do have to explain the picture, right? right. So remember those last 2 posts about that guy from work? yeah... he left the library yesterday with a girl. and she was wearing slippers. ew. but i guess i shouldn't be too sad considering i didn't even know his name.. but still. eh.

oh, man! I just tipped over my huge flower. my home-teachers and marcus brought me over a gigantor flower (a bird of paradise, i believe). here's a pic:

oh, it's from a fashion show. this is it as a fashion piece:

it's in her hands...
but it's cool, yeah!
man... i just worked for 5 hours and now i've gotta pack for my trip home tomorrow and clean my room and i've gotta do some homeworkz. oh. hah. my English class should definitely be called "Hipsters and Food 201H" becuz that's like what it is. and my teacher said "internetz" today and i refrained from lolzing.
anyway.
S'later!

p.s. I'm watching Father of the Bride pt. II and it's funny because Kieran Culkin is in both this and Scott Pilgrim. he plays the son in FotBpt.II and the gay roomie in SPvs.tW

Flirt Boy part 2

remember that guy i was telling you about? yeah, he came back AGAIN!! And he's even cuter than i remember. still don't know his name... but still! And i want to know him so bad. like a million. Here are the things I know about him:

1. he wears glasses
2. he dresses well
3. he likes chicken bowls with veg.
4. he has a debit card. (Shoot! I should've checked to see if there was a name on it!)
5. he sat at a computer facing the cafe for like 4 hours today.
6. he dances to his ipod (love.)
7. i think he has a crush on me too. we made eye contact quite a few times.
8. it might be love at first sight

oops. and i don't even know anything substantial. and he doesn't know anything about me either. but i wanna give him my nunber. or just talk to him. or anything. annnyyythinng. 

i might go to bed early tonight.. i have to work early tomorrow. guh. and i'm dang tired. but whateves. 

love, ellen.

Flirt Boy

I drew this picture today at work because i was bored and wanted to show my co-worker, Jen, what the guy who flirted with me yesterday looked like (i know i already posted today, but i thought this needed some recognition.)

I had to edit it to make the pen show up more. and i can't remember what his face looked like... and i'm not good at my own face so i left them blank. but we both do have glasses.
"Us glasses kids need to stick together, hey?"
-ellen.

"Talk about Boys"

hah. i tole you, i've gotta put Beatles all over this sucker. This line is from "Boys" sung by Ringo. It's a cover version originally done by the Shirelles. Either way, it's a fun song. and a good way to start off this blog about - you guessed it - boys.

It's all good news this time!! And how weird is it that i've had 3 guys take interest in me in the month i've lived here and i lived at home for way longer and only had 2 boys ever. hm. And then i also have a crush on another boy. i'll explain in a bulleted list! fave! (i think i'll leave names out because just in case and stuff. blah, yeah.)

• Boy 1: took interest in me, got my number, texted and called me. I had no interest in him. Because he creeped me out and i'm not sure if he's LDS. he came and watched me at work which was weird. 
• Boy 2: in my ward. He asked for my number, i gave it to him, we played halo, he bought me in-n-out and we went to the 80's dance together. and watched Dr. Who. and he sat pretty close to me but i definitely made my hands unavailable for holding.
• Boy 3: is in my English class. i've had a crush on him since the first week. our names fit pretty darn well and he's cute. he's from kaysville too! so we could live close enough to both of our families! perfecto. also, now we're in the same peer-review group. he ate my mac and cheese... and liked it! 
• Boy 4: is unknown. like 99%. He came into my work yesterday, bought a chicken bowl, flirted with me for a bit. I said "I like your glasses." and he said "Yeah, Thanks. Us glasses kids gotta stick together, hey?" and i was like "marry me?" but not literally... in my mind. Then i went home, made my mac an cheese, internet broke, went back to the school to finish my homework. Then my boss said "That cute guy came back and just stood on the balcony above the cafe for like 10 minutes... waiting for his bride" and i was like a little school girl. which i guess i am in some ways. but how great is that!

and that's kind of all. and i'm really tired. (lol. i took a nap right after i wrote that. and now i'm off to work.)(]=

loves. ellen

Oh, boy...(s)

"Wanna hear my boy problems?" was another idea for this blog title.. but i went with this so yeah.
And i got my hair cut! it's pretty awesome. once i get a chance, i'll upload a pic and stuff. rad.
now to the boys!

k. I told you bout that guy with the asking for my number? so yeah. basically, after that, i got sick (like ill sick). so cool. and i'm just having trouble convincing myself to go on this one date with him. I will. but i don't want a relationship. at all. because i'm still trying to get the hang of college and stuff - trying to figure myself out as well. I don't wanna break the guy's heart, but i also don't want to break my own life. or something.. pretend that was inspirational or something. k rad.

also.. i have a crush on this guy from my English class. and (i'm not a creep, promise) i found out his last name from our class roster. what a lovely thing! and, basically, it's going no where. but that's okay! like i told my mom, crushes are better than broken hearts.

Luckily, i got to lay out all my boy problems on my mate who went to hair-cut with me. What a nice guy. and i've been able to get a lot of good advice from my boss and my co-workers and my mommy and Erchap. so that'll be good. I'm so lucky to have such nice and understanding people in my life!

Also, this is me sitting at home on a friday night. I'm watching an old fave - "AFV IS OOOONNNNNN" (something we used to say in my house a lot when i was a kid, with it being my fave show and all...) and i have some things to do tomorrow. like a "tranning meeting" (aka a training meeting - my boss doesn't know how to spell very well and we like to kid around) and an RS dinner and broadcast. And I think an old friend from home and I are going to do something. Yay! I think it'll be fun.

okay. that's enough for now.
love, Ellen.
