Music By Dead People

I am sorry in my lack of blog posting.....I have absolutely NO life....except....recently (Tuesday) I went to a 3 Doors Down concert with Tiffany and Melissa (my other roommate). It was great! But more importantly, THEORY OF A DEADMAN were there....That's why I went. Yep, I went for the opening act. In case this is news to you, I LOVE THEORY OF A DEADMAN. Due to the heavy guitars, I usually don't mention it in the Cardwell household.  Now a lot of you are probably like "Who in the world are Theory of a Deadman?" which wouldn't surprise me. They are not very popular. The only song I have ever heard on the radio is "Not Meant to Be." Anyways, I will place a song at the very end of my blog. It will be legit. I am not sure which one I am going to put though...So I will keep thinking about it as I type.

Life has been hectic for me. Papers are coming at me like a zombie to brains. Work is horrid. They make me carry really heavy boxes and send me out in the cold. There have been many times I just wanted to just pull out a white flag and wave it around. "OK COUGAR EAT!  YOU WIN!!!" By the way, I am the only one who does this. ONLY ONE! That's why I changed my name from "Floater" to "Slave" on Facebook.


So Tiffany perfectly explains what it's like to be at BYU by saying that it's like BYU is grabbing your head and pushing you under water. You feel like you are drowning and you can't do anything about it. Weekends they just let you up for air for a second before you they put you back in for the plunge. So with this in mind, I picked the song "Head Above Water" by Theory of a Deadman
P.S. Let me know if I converted you to a fan =)

Access the Animus

First I am going to talk about how attractive this videogame character is. First, he's Italian, which means he has a sexy accent that makes girls melt! Second, he's just attractive! Even when he's 41!!! The name of this character is Ezio Auditore da Firenze from Assassin's Creed!

This is when he's 41.......

I was going to put what he looked like when he was younger, but I couldn't find any without his hood on. Why does he wear a hood, because he is an Assassin....but a good Assassin. =)

Anyways, back to reality. Time in Texas is slowly ticking away. For my birthday I packed up all my clothes and sent them to Susan so I can pick them up when I am in Provo. So, my lack of clothes, jewelry, shoes, is very disheartening....

On Saturday I went shopping with Rachelle and Sarah at the Town East Mall (Mesquite, Texas). We went on a special mission...the Victora's Secret kind of mission.. haha it was fun. We also tried on skank dresses at Forever 21! And to top it off, we got Strawberry Dacheries from Chilies....yes they were virgin....

But basically I waste all my time writing my paper to the University of Texas and playing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. I am such a nerd......but I make up for it...hopefully....

Captain Kirk
from Star Trek
the only timr I didn't mind being named after Deanna Troi after him being the Captain =D

Indiana Jones


I was practically salivating during the Temple of Doom! C'mon girls, when he's barely wearing a shirt and beating baddies to the ground....that is what we can a man....plus he's just so suave.....I love Indy!!! <3<3<3

Dastan
from Prince of Persia
I don't usually go for characters with long hair, but this guy....woooooaaaaahhh....yummy =D

Sam Flynn
from Tron: Legacy
good lookin' guy....tight pants....on a motorcycle....why else would you see the movie!?! (The answer is it's AWESOME! In case you didn't know that)

Dating Life at the Y

Cheesy Insults and Blue Heads

So what has been going on in the life of Deanna? Well, if you must know. Life has been a little nuts. Papers have been flying at me (not literally) and readings have been piling on. I've managed to keep my sanity by going to BYU baseball games and sleeping. So let's start with baseball. On Tuesday, I dragged oh so wonderful Tiffany to the BYU vs. UVU game. UVU fans sat next to us, and it became slightly awkward. They are very lame with their chants. "Rise and shout the Cougars are OUT!" Really, UVU? Really? How long did it take you to come up with that? I'd suggest you come up with another one, but I'd hate for your brain to explode. Anyways, the game was super cold. All I brought was a light jacket. Tiffany did the same but brought flip flops. At least we beat UVU. It made it fun. Wednesday was fine. I had a meeting with the Relief Society presidency then my roommates and I borrowed Megamind from Brett. I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!! "OH! MY GIANT BLUE HEAD!!!" Thursday was great. I don't remember what happened that day, but I know it must have been super amazing. All I remember is that I officially became a Classics Major. WOOT WOOT! Then yesterday, which was Friday (Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday) I went to school. Came home and slept. Because I am a tired girl. Then I went to our wards closing social. FOOD! It was very enjoyable. Somehow Bishop Davis got ahold of my senior homecoming queen nomination picture and put it in our ward slideshow....o.O Then we went to Xtreme Air Sports. At which, Blaine managed to basically destroy my back. Thanks Blaine, wherever you are. But I did tackle Tiffany into the ground! Then Eric and Tim came over and watched the Emperors New Groove. Still the best movie ever.  Then today, none of us woke up til noon because we are so exhausted. We went to the Bookstore and made enchiladas. We ended are evening by going over to Matt V.'s apartment and watching Stardust. I also managed to get called twice today from a Texas number who never spoke into my phone but I heard everything. So if you are calling me Texas peeps. Fess us. Because I have a unique set of special skills......

RIP Issac Newton

I woke up with great intentions todays. My plan
10:00-12:00 Physical Science Forum
12:00-2:00 American Heritage Review
2:00-2:45 Lunch
3:15-4:00 Work on my "Nature Experience"

It sounds like a legit schedule. However, I woke up and couldn't get it out of my head that it was Saturday. I shouldn't have to do school work on Saturday. So I slept in and skipped the optional Physical Science Forum. Then me, forgetting it was a Saturday, missed the bus to campus by a half hour (it usually comes every half hour but on saturdays only once an hour) so I thought I would work on my nature experience at the Provo River until the next bus. However it was windy and my measurements were blowing away...forcing me to miss the next bus as well. So I went to the CocoaBean to melt my sorrows with a Vanilla Hot Chocolate and a Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcake. So, I came home caught up on The Bachelor, Bones, Glee, Modern Family, and many more. Then we watched the BYU vs. Gonzaga game. We DOMINATED. SWEET 16 BABY!!! Then I dolled myself up and went to the Wyview/Heritage Invitational Dance. This was the first time I saw Sarah Burchett all year....and we live less then a mile away....I saw her more when we lived an hour and a half away in Melissa. But the dance was amazing. Tom and Daniel tried to sneak in wearing jeans, but they got kicked out. So Tiffany and I sneakily brought them ice cream. Of course, I gave mine to Daniel, because Tom is always so mean to me and calls me "Slave Master". My feet are killing me still, an hour after the dance! Whoever decided women should wear heels are on my list, right behind Isaac Newton, because I'm still bitter to Physics.

Dreams

So last night I had a strange dream. Last night I dreamt I was talking to Tyler and Austin (high school friends) until Tyler confessed something. He was in love with Ariena Van Way. I was confused, due to the fact the two of them never met before. In the dream, I was talking to Tyler, he told me he stole her phone number from my phone and started to talk to her, and he instantly fell in love. So, I talked to dream Ariena and I asked her if she knew a Tyler King and her response is, "well, he was stalking me, but he's now my boyfriend." I continued to ask her if she met him and her response was "No. But we are in love!"

Weird. I know. I woke up laughing! Well, i felt inspired to share.

So Ariena, if you are reading this, you now have a boyfriend.

Tarzan

We had so much fun! Enjoy!

Someone Leave The Oven On, Because It's Hot

Here is a random list of attractive men. I figured it would give Tiffany a reason to come here more often.

Alex Pettyfer


The only reason Tiffany and Jessica saw "I Am Number Four" with me. This picture is for you two.

Chad Michael Murray


He was in "Gilmore Girls," "Cinderella Story," and many other shows. He is awesome.

Chris Pine


Live long and prosper, Chris Pine. Live long....

David Boreanaz


He's a cop AND a vampire. Every girl's dream....not really. But David Boreanaz....the original vampire heartthrob

Gerard Butler


If his looks don't attract you...his accent and his singing sure will! I will never feel sorry for the Phantom...but Gerard could NEVER be at fault...

Jesse McCartney


Men become instantly more attractive if they can sing. Well, guess who can!?! And he writes his own music....talented people...

Nathan Fillion



I made sure to put him in his natural habitat...on Serenity....gosh, I miss Firefly...what an great show

Ryan Reynolds


I wish I could see Tiffany's reaction to this picture....but yes, wow. Ryan. Keep on being Ryan!

Zac Efron



You know he's on every teenager/young adults list. Especially my ClCv teacher's wife. We hope to keep seeing you forever, Zac.




And finally, who is the best looking guy on my list!? I had to find a tame picture as to not destroy your screen with his attractiveness. He sings, he dances, and speaks another language and his name is...

Enrique Iglesias

He can be my Hero anytime

Death to Wet Seal

Today was a great day. I woke up and made breakfast with Kaitlin. Then Tiffany, Kaitlin, and I shared a wonderful morning. Then we went to the University mall. Wet Seal yelled at us for taking pictures....note to you Wet Seal...your stuff is not that cool...you are not even designer... it will be a LONG time before I will go to your store again, and FYI, I still have a picture of a jacket =p We continued to Bath and Body Works, great deal! Buy 3 get 3 free =) I am gonna smell awesome from now on. We went to Aeropostale and I got a nice hoodie. Because I can wear it, because I don't go to Greenville High anymore. Then more shopping. We went into Victoria Secret...because we can....and after watching I Am Number Four on Saturday, I needed to do something really feminine. And we ended our shopping with going to a Bridal store and trying on Prom dresses. We learned everything looks good on Tiffany....We caught up with JESSICA and we went back to our apartment. We had pizza for lunch and then walked to the CocoaBean for some Frappes. Yum. We came back and crashed on the couch. For dinner we went to Olive Garden and ate to our hearts content. Followed by a trip to walmart where I finally got a bathrobe! It's fuzzy and warm =) Now we are all basically dead, well except for JESSICA because she left a while ago. She could still be alive....or drooling after Asian men.....

I really should study, but I am EXHAUSTED!!!

Good night world!

Jessica Gledhill Spotlight

Jessica Gledhill is awesome!!!

Feminine Fairy

Hello my readers. How has life been treating you? Would you like to know something. I almost ate a whole box of Gushers last night. But, I had Tiffany eat a package so I could say that I didn't eat it all.

It is a three day weekend. Wahoo! And I am halfway through the semester. I am one step closer to a very hot summer in Texas. Because according to online, there are only two temperatures in Texas.
1) Hot
2) OH MY GOSH!!! IT'S FREAKIN HOT!!!
I don't think it's THAT hot...but maybe I just have no feelings. I can't feel hot glue anymore, so maybe it is something like that.

I have turned very feminine here at BYU. It's scary....oh how simple life was in high school. Wake up, put on khaki pants and a red polo. Put my hair in a pony tail, then...POOF! I was ready for the day! But the feminine fairy got to me....I actually do my hair....my toes are always painted...makeup is no stranger...and everything always has to have earrings....I'm sure all my high school friends are going to be freaking out. Or pretend to not know me....which is a probability...

What Is The Shape of Your Orbital

The ides of February are finally OVER!! Woot! So I will try to only have depressing post in the ides. Beware the Ides of February!

So recap of everything. I have finished many books this (school) year e.g
1) The Hunger Games
2) Catching Fire
3) Mockingjay
4) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
5) The Iliad
6) The Odyssey
7) Agamemnon
8) Oedipus the King

So how was my day? The last three days have been beautiful. The weather reminds me of Fall Texas weather. I miss my Lone Star State. Today, I got up, and Tiffany slept in.....very weird....I went to Physical Science. I believe Quantum Mechanics is a myth. It is not useful. No time in my life will there be a need to know the shape of orbitals. Moving on, Classical Civ class. I LOVE this class. Bro. Simmons is so funny. "Oedipus makes you want to go to your wife and ask her how OLD she REALLY is!" Then I went to American Heritage. I find that class awesome. It totally beats APUSH! But, then again, my teacher actually teaches unlike Mr. Brooks ever did. I took my AHtg Exam. 76, BABY!!! WHOOT!!! I am doing so much better this semester than last semester. Perhaps it is my positive outlook and all the self-help books I read. Then I ate lunch. I bought a Reeses. Because nothing says CONGRATS like the beautiful chocolate-peanutbutter mixture. Following that, my beautiful day turned dark and ominous. YOu could no long see the beautiful mountains. They we obstructed by demon clouds that the wind blew in. I went to my PhyS Lab. Wes enjoyed himself by playing Katy Perry songs. Sometimes this class makes me feel like a supergenious! After class, I realized it was going to snow by the time I got out of Biology. Me, being the blond in cognito, I left my coat and umbrella at home. So....I skipped Biology. All I have to do is read the notes online anyways and it will have the same effect. This evening, I accompanied Blaine, Tiifany, and Kaitlin to the CocoaBean for cupcakes and hotchocolate. And it started to snow. SNOW!!!!

"Muffin Mauvaise"

So I wrote a story on why I should get to pull the fire drill yesterday. And it is as follows

"Today I was eating breakfast and my muffin looked more and more delicious. As I was about to take a bite, the muffin came to life. It said "Deanna, I have been watching you. You have many potential skills that could help save the world." I, being flattered, questioned the muffin on its life. He had grown up on a blueberry farm, but left home during the war of the fruits. He traveled far and long, scrounging for food and "the one of carbon." (who is apparently really cool) So after a not so long questioning, he told me that I was "the carbon one." I was supposed to assist him to bring all the eaten muffins to justice. So I quickly put away my fork and grabbed my backpack and the muffin and headed for the bus. The driver was not as appreciative of the muffin, and told me I could not have it one the bus. So, I walked. I should have known something was up, when we walked we had AC/DC theme music. As we walked through the Wilk, we spotted the Creamery. The muffin told me to rescue all the muffins from their selves. I told the muffin I did not have enough money to buy all the muffins. And since stealing is frowned upon in most societies, I pulled the fire alarm! While everyone was panicking and screaming, the muffin let out an evil sounding laugh, which he swears is just because he had a cold it sounded funny. People were running around, food flying everywhere, I noticed that all the muffins were still there. They were not leaving. I was told because that they don't like coming to life when people are watching. So the truth is, some more muffins are being held captive in Building 24....and well, the muffin says they all should go free, this leaves me no other option.....SAVE THE MUFFINS!!!"

Needless to say, I wasn't even around for the firedrill....but my story was still EPIC! Not an EPIC, because its not in _____ hexameter or whatever it is called.

Today, I only had one class. Book of Mormon! Did I mention how I hate walking to the MSRB...it's always cold...and icy. Well after class I had lunch with Kaitlin, Tiffany, Breanna, and Arienna. Then I came home and watched the latest episode of The Bachelor....Why won't they kick of Michelle!?! WHY!?! Then I took a much needed nap! We had a cleaning check so we cleaned, went to Cafe Rio, and cleaned more. Then Mikayla came to expect our apartment. YAY! We passed! Then I took my Paegan Lit quiz....I was so tempted to make a Jimmer reference but I refrained...

Victoria's Secret, They're Actually Necklaces

Hello peoples!

I shall start off where I left off yesterday. I went to the Men's Volleyball game. BYU vs UCLA. I used to think volleyball was a feminine sport...it is a very masculine sport. Then after WE ( we meaning BYU...I actually wasn't playing...) beat UCLA, it was snowing. Yep. The white stuff. We all came home. Tiffany and Kaitlin wanted pizza, so they got a pizza. Then Wes and Tim come over with bread sticks and then we ate food. We were invited to go see Megamind! One of the greatest movies ever. Tiffany compared me to megamind. So at least I know, I would be a successful villian with AC/DC as my background music. Don't worry I edit it. "WE'RE ON THE HIGHWAY TO ... *CHANGE STATION* *CHANGES BACK* WE'RE ON THE HIGHWAY TO..."

So, we came back. I personally didn't wanna sleep in the theatre...I didn't wanna wake up this morning. I mean, we got back at 2...and the pillow was just oh so fluffy! I cleaned my room, it has a floor! Who knew!?! Then I watched part of the Basketball game. Jimmer has not let me down yet. Then I went to the mall with Jessica and Tiffany. I saw amusing children in the Victoria Secret store. Who let's their kids run rampant in that store? "crazy people" Well I am glad they did, they were a great source of entertainment. Little girls wearing underwear around their necks.

Now I am home, about to read The Odyssey.

So.....

I can't avoid reality for too long...

Well I can....

but it would be bad....

so....

yea....

BYE BYE =)

"The Hunger Games"

So here I am, slowly freezing to death in my living room...looking up characters on who we would like to play in The Hunger Games movies. I personally think Gerard Butler or Hugh Laurie would make a great Haymitch. But as my freshman High english teacher told me, my opinion is wrong.

So. Here is who I think

Haymitch

Hugh Laurie....because he looks like he's killed people...and he'd be a great drunkard

Peeta

Alex Pettyfer...because why, he's attractive...and my version of Katniss would love it

Fennik

Jason Dohring...I mean, he's already got the California beads...he looks like he can swim

Gale

Logan Lerman. He looks like he could do some damage, and could be a great protector.

Katniss

Tiffany Yeates, she is the epitome of Katniss. I don't think she'd mind choosing between Alex and Logan =) If you know her, you'd know why she fits...if only she could kill a spider...or not prance away from spilling water...

Metorphorical Bricks and Aliens

Here is a list of why I am awesome!
1) The Iliad is on my desk
2) The Odyssey is in my bed
3) Metamorphoses in on my bookshelf
4) I speak an unknown dialect of Texan called "Southern British"
5) I can read French and speak it when I don't think about it
6) I can remember German insults
7) I am going to take Ancient Greek & Latin
8) I am just legit, my friend =)

I think everyone should make a list on why they are awesome, but you probably won't. You think you're cooler than me! So I started on the day with Relief Society meetings. They were short today which was a blessing in disguise. So we came home and cooked a delicious meal for the Bishop and his wife. They are such WONDERFUL people! Our apartment looks amazing, we can't have them think we are slobs. Blaine came over today. He shares my gift of avoidance. But because I have such a gift, I am fully aware when it is being used...and how to avoid it. My roommates, not quite into the subtlety of our ways. I wonder if it's a super power? I don't remember crash landing...or being bit by something radioactive...or just being filthy rich...alas, it is possible I could be an alien...It would explain a lot about me.

9) Possibility that I could be an alien

I mean, my dad can't tell me what he does. And apparently, I don't look like the rest of my family according to Pittman. It is a possibility.

However I did learn something today. It just hit me like a ton of bricks, not a literal ton of bricks because that, my friend, would hurt...a lot...I was hit by a METAPHORICAL ton of bricks. I had to clarify in case any small children (or Tiffany) was reading this...I wouldn't want them to be scared...but then again...scaring small children (and Tiffany) is fun! But it is not worth being hit by a ton of bricks. I mean physics wise, the ton weighs more than me and F=ma....so ma(1)=ma(2).
Ton of bricks X gravity = my little tiny body X ??
You do the math...It isn't pretty in my favor!

Don't You Like Bran Muffins

Have you ever slept with a window open or a fan on and it got really cold at night? So cold you either wanted to close the window or turn off the fan, but you were too cold to do it?! Yep, that's me. A lazy frozen Popsicle. It's a great way to start your day. I didn't wake up in a pleasant mood. But who would!? When their ex-boyfriend always taunts them at night...makes waking up single, well, a nuisance. Don't get me wrong, Tyler is a great guy, Dream-Tyler I would personally like to smack on the side of a head with some small object...perhaps a small rock (by small rock I mean boulder) Well anyways, I did my laundry (I have yet to actually fold it yet...unsurprising) Tiffany is a great soap holder. "It's not that hard to get cookies, you just hold the soap that your roommate needs." After that I ate pizza then tried to watch the BYU vs UNM game, alas, we didn't get it on TV...sad day. Jessica came over and we watched Muffin Films. How can you not like muffins, when they so like you! Then we went to the University Mall. I went into a sport store... I can tell you I didn't belong...some skinny girl who can't even move her dresser! (In my defense it is VERY heavy) Then we came back and drew pictures for Trace and Blaine's apartment door. I wonder how Thomas (their 50-year-old Korean roommate feels about this0.o) Then Kaitlin, Tiffany, Blaine, and myself went to buy food. We went out because we feel that feeding the Bishop and his wife Mac&Cheese would be no very fond. Well, more on that tomorrow. Then we went for ice cream at the creamery. We were going to make cookies, but we will do it tomorrow. Because why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?!

Future Olympic Virtual Jumper

Today I got up at 11. It was great. I got up before Kaitlin, which rarely happens. Tiffany was watching the Terminal when I got up. I got to watch Tom Hanks speak Russian. We all had left over enchiladas for lunch. Yummy! I watched Veronica Mars, but Logan and Veronica keep breaking up and it's annoying....so I stopped....for the time being. Kaitlin found the secret button that got the XBox to work. Then I tried to set up Wireless internet, however it was a broken router. Plan fail. I went and watched the Devil Beside You. Oh, Ammon, what a great boyfriend you are to Qi Yue. Jessica came over again and we took a trip to....WALMART. Yep. Had to drive all the way to Orem. Oh the horror! Kaitlin got a new router. In walmart we found pillowpets! (It's a pillow, it's a pet. It's a pillow pet!) I went home and Tiffany left with Jessica and Kaitlin went to the movies. I had the whole apartment to myself. I tried out Halo 3. I am really bad at it. But I am an AMAZING jumper. But you know the saying, if first you don't succeed, destroy more aliens! Ok, that really isn't a saying. But all is fair in love and war. Matt came to see the epic Elite XBox. I found that my Wireless adapter is broken, so I need to purchase a new one. After much drowning in Halo, I went to bed.

That's Probably Not What They Meant

Today was a wonderful day! I woke up and started my day with Physical Science 100. After my Chemisty 105 class, this should be a breeze. Then after watching a fire tornado, I went to my favorite class...Greek and Roman Literature!! I learned all about King Minos and the creation of Minotaur. "Paegen gods are not omnipotant. They can't change what other gods to. So that is Christ 1 Paegen gods 0" -Bro. Simmons. Following this highly entertaining class, I went to my American Heritage Lab. My TAs name is Sarah Meyers. Then I was done. No more school!! So I went to the Twilight Zone (a campus grocery store) and bought lunch and took the bus home. I enjoyed my lunch with an episode of Veronica Mars. (Oh Logan Echolls, why are you fictional?!) After that I started reading the Iliad. I have great interpretations, you can ask Tiffany. (e.g. GET AWAY FROM MY BOAT SO I CAN HAVE SEX WITH YOUR DAUGHTER!!!) Ah, you gotta love Greek books. Tiffany and I made some Enchiladas for dinner. We watched Friends. (I almost got her addicted to it!) After that Tiffany's cousin Jessica came over and we had a nerdfest. We watched Hana Yori Dango, Devil Beside You, and my Korean/Japanese music videos. (The picture above is Tsukasa Doumiouji from Hana Yori Dango.) I skated out early to check up on Logan Echolls and Veronica Mars. Then I went to bed.
