Another strikethrough.

Strikethrough:
Kiss someone in the pouring rain
With all the rain we've had lately, I'm sure you're as surprised as I am that I haven't been able to cross this off yet! But today, yet another item was crossed off my list. And it was fun! It was giggly, and it was a nice summer rain, so it wasn't too hot or too cold. Mother Nature sent us the perfect little downpour. I really did have a blast. You should put it on your list, too!
That's all for now. I just thought I'd get on the ball before it was old news.
How is everyone's "back to school" week going?

Super quick catch-up post!

I have to hurry and strikethrough:
Visit another country and
Go on a cruise AND
Go out dancing!!!
The first two were a given- I posted about the cruise. I just never threw in the official crossing-off-the-list thang. (; But you haven't yet heard about dancing!!
Batman. Baatmaaan. Met him in my country western dance class. He's a total sweetheart. (: He took me rock climbing with his friends(me! Rock climbing!), and then he played the piano for me and maaade(; me sing with him, and then he took me to cafe rio for dinner, and then we went out dancing. Weird.. Our date was less than a week ago. I feel as though it's been forever. We've seen each other outside of class twice since the date. And it was not enough! But this is about the dancing, for my list, not about that darling boy.
Dancing was amazing!! Studio 600 does country dancing Tuesday and Thursday nights. 8-9 they actually have lessons. We got there around 8:40, so we got to learn a couple new moves. The "sexy dip," and a lift. We totally got it down! We left at about 11:30. Seriously, almost THREE HOURS of dancing! Not too many breaks. And western swing takes MAJOR energy. It was rad. (: Definitely has to happen again!!

Let me sneak this in here: on facebook, there's been some major butting of heads about a talk at Mormon conference this weekend. Boyd K. Packer said some things about homosexuality that did not need to be said. I really have not minded defending it on just about every status I've commented on. It's something of a headache, but then I think.. I would almost loove to be hated for something I believe in. Why?
Because that means that I believed in something strongly enough for someone else to know, and care. And that matters. Because when that person hates you, they are going to help the people that don't hate you find you, and support you. They will make you famous. I desperately want to believe something strongly enough that it's well known, that someone considers me a threat. I want to be that inspiration for those that are afraid to voice their opinion.
-sigh- I'm a little dramatic.

Utah Arts Festival!

I love love LOVE the arts festival! I went twice this year, and let's be honest.. It just wasn't enough! But I had sooooooooooo much fun. (: I went on Friday with Sam. (Adventure: We had to go to his bank so he could get cash. Ran out of gas. Walked across the street to the gas station. Brought gas back and dumped it in the car. DID NOT wait for any amount of time before starting the car and driving to the gas station. Car died again in the middle of the intersection. Sam jumped out to push, I steered. Lovely people standing on the sidewalk came to help. Got gas, went to the festival. (: Adventure.) We discovered Kevin Eslinger's work- which is absolutely fantastic! ( www.kevineslinger.com    Check it out!) I bought two prints from him, and then I got a caricature. T'was rather fabulous. We left a few minutes after eleven.
I went again yesterday(Sunday) with Lexi. That was also a blast! Aaaaaaand- I get to cross something else off my list!!!!
Strikethrough:
Flirt with a handsome stranger.
I flirted with the fella selling pizza, hehehe. (: Lexi and I were standing in the food area, debating pizza. I asked her if I really wanted pizza, and she started laughing and said, "Pizza guy says you do!" So I looked over, and the gorgeous man sitting behind the cash register was staring at us and nodding. So we got pizza. (: And might I add: It was totally delish!
Lexi bought one of the same prints from K.E. that I did- the cheshire cat, if you check out his site. I also got the Alice that's holding a white cat. (:
So I think I hit all the main points. And I can't wait for next year!!!
