I wish with all my heart that I had this one awesome video to show you right now...

Unfortunately, the video in question is on facebook and I'm technologically challenged enough to not know how to download it... 

It's a video that my adorable roommate Tiffany made of our summer together. It's this insanely awesome video that chronicles the roommates and various friends, set to all our favorite jams from these last four months. Tiff just moved out (she signed a contract elsewhere before she knew she would have such awesome roommates this summer), and sadly, Joanna also went back to UPEN. Well, if I can find a way to download that video, I will post it here. It's just so wonderful.

We danced a lot this summer, stuck our bodies out the window of cars, had late night chats about anythign and everything, stargazed, cuddled, watched movies, made a douche jar, threw paint and water and fake snow at each other. It was really my favorite summer here. Made even better by the presence of Spencer. Sadly he did not make the video cut.. sorry Goosey!

Anyway, all this to say, for basically the first time in my life, I'm not as excited for fall as I usually am. I don't have enough money to take classes this semester, so I don't get back-to-school excitement, and my favorite people are splitting up, moving on, living their lives. Although I will most certainly be excited to finally be able to wear sweaters and tights EVERY DAY. What magic is this?!?!

I LOVE IT!

Love, Sarai

These are only a few of the millions and billions of pictures that Sydney and I took the other day when we were in SLC. We went down simply to have a girls day. It started at Toasters, where we got the most delicious of all avocado sandwiches. Then we moseyed on over to the library, where we ended up buying a handful of delightful and fantastic books. I have a thing for books...

Then we took a kajillion pictures on the roof. It was great. Sydney makes me look fantastic, even when I'm looking a lil bit frumptastic.

After some book perusal, and a random creepy guy following us around, we chanced upon the capitol building. It was a marvelous place for a photoshoot, as you can see. And these are honestly not even close to half of the pictures we took. It gets a little ridiculous when we get together...

But, we met a strange political man there... more on that another time..

For the moment, I'll just wax poetic about how hectic and crazy my life can be. I'm looking into getting a car, and I'm starting a second job, just as finals are about to start.. why am I so crazy?

Also. That musician that I have a crush on? He's pretty fantastic. We've been talking to each other for quite some time, and we finally hung out in real life, and I must say, I've never met anyone quite like him. It's strange, how you can just be minding your own business, when everything suddenly changes, and you have to just gasp and go "oh. So that's the reason". That was a bit of a ramble. But suffice to say, I don't always make the smartest choices with men. I've been known to give people the benefit of the doubt more often than not, and it can be a bit of a challenge. But. Everything is wonderful now :)

Love, Sarai

It's interesting to me. The difference between guys and girls, that is. I was talking to a friend today, and he mentioned the study that was done at Utah State (I think), and how girls always say they can be "just friends" with a guy, and guys always say no, they can't. I just think it's fascinating. On any given day, I could name multiple men who I am just friends with, and who I assume would feel the same way about me. But then this friend pointed out that guys put girls and guys into different categories. As women, we can put everyone into the same category. Guys and girls can be our best friend that we never have any sexual or romantic feelings for, despite the kinship we do feel. But men don't put any women into the same category as men. So that's intriguing... 

Well. That conversation changed my perspective on pretty much all of my male friends...

The other thing that was on my mind today was my post from Sunday night... 

I'm mildly (or majorly) embarrassed. It seems that my dramatics may have caused either amusement, or alarm in people. I promise, i'm the most dramatic person alive. I have no spectrum for emotional scale, so everything is "theworstthingthathaseverhappenedtome". End of story. So I hate when people think that I'm really just this crazy. I know it might seem like I'm full of psycho emotion, and that everything is the end of the world. But I use strong language on here. Exaggerated. Absolutelypositivelyalways. I'm obnoxiously dramatic. It should go without saying that I assume that I can say what I need to on this blog, without the awkwardness of in-real-life consequences, mostly because I leave out names and details. But awkwardness is my middle name. I can't say I didn't think certain people would read this, but I suppose it just slipped my mind. I don't think I'm making much sense. But no matter. Let's just say, I apologize for any who is reading this here ol' bloggy blog and thinks I'm ridiculous/crazy. Life really isn't as bad as I make it seem...

to prove that I don't take myself too seriously, here is the most unflattering picture that Nancy just so happened to snap of me. This is disgusting guys...

Do something brave today,

Sarai
