Going Wordless

From now on, I am going to attempt to use as few words as possible. My goal is to just post a picture- maybe two- to let you know what's been going down. It'll be quicker, and I think it will be fun. (: Any questions? Just email me or leave a comment. I'd love to hear what you think of whatever I post.
To start you off, here's a few photos of what I've been up to!

Notice that magical little word.. Toms!

Buh-bye! Have a wonderful time!

got soul?

U of U vs BYU

Backstory: We were watching the game at Iggy's with a few friends. I had a cold, and I was just in a snuggly mood, of course. This was the first game I had really watched, and Dave was teaching me about the game. We all decided at halftime that we were going to drive to one friends house. This conversation happened on the way to the car to head over there.

Me: When we get there, will you hold me?
Dave: Of course I will.
Me: Okay, good. But don't hold me like BYU holds footballs.
Dave: Why not?
Me: Because they don't.

New Years!

Another 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8760 hours, 525,600 minutes of struggle, fun, progress, love, pain, growth, and experience. I intend to make the best of it!


That is my current Facebook status. And I meant every word! I'm so excited for this year, I can hardly stand it. It started perfect!
I went to a party with Lisette, her date, and of course, Batman. It was HUGE!! There were so many people, it was amazing. I loved it. Batman gave me the perfect New Years kiss, and we welcomed the year dancing outside in the cold to Argyle. Perfection. Beauty. Love. I couldn't ask for anything more.
And now..
My resolution!!!
My New Years Resolution is to make a new resolution every month. I don't want to make a year-long goal for two reasons:
1. It won't last.
2. It won't last.
Seriously, I mean it. I actually want to improve, so I want a goal that I can keep. For January, my goal is to work out regularly. Nothing too challenging, just enough that I can feel healthy and be active. Not to lose weight, 'cause I'm skinny, but just to be a better me. As the year progresses, I'll make new resolutions based on how I feel I need to improve. I think it will work out great. I really want to change for the better. :D
I'm so excited for this year! Last year there were some intense ups and downs. Somewhere around 5 deaths on my Mom's side.. Definite down. Batman.. Definite up. I'm so happy lately, it's almost stupid! I'm positively giddy with cheer. (: I've been super optimistic lately, and just.. Smiley. I love feeling like this. I love every moment I spend with Batman, and my friends. I love all the new people I've met, the new things I've tried. I love me. (:
And now.. I think I've said enough. I wish you all a very wonderful 2011, and hope you can see the best in everything around you!!
Xoxo,
Stellar Meadow (:

Dancing with Batman. (:

A lot has been going on! Stella broke, Stella was fixed. I forgot to do my budget for finance, got asked by the cute kid in social dance for my number, fought with my brother, my parents, my cat, got sick, got better, work, work, work, and school, of course. I've seen the movie Red, watched the Crazies yesterday, Despicable Me again. I haven't read in who knows how long. And that's not even the half of it!! But quite obviously, this post is about Batman, and things that have happened with him. Let's start with October 29th.
That was the Neon Night for SLCC. It was a blast! Glow sticks, black lights, music. I went with Lisette and her buddy Tanner. We met Batman and his friends there. Before I go on, let me just say: Batman does not do hip hop. He doesn't know how to dance to it. But he does anyway, which is part of why I like him so much! He's really quite hysterical. (: We were there for probably an hour and a half. Then Batman and his trusty sidekick, partner in crime(or heroic-ness), Robin(haha! That code name totally made itself up.) came over to Lisette's with us, where we watched When in Rome. Super funny movie! Batman and I cuddled on the couch, and it was beautiful. That boy has some safe arms.
The next night was fake- Halloween. What I like to call a Utah holiday. Batman came to our traditional family chili with me. It was great! Everyone seemed to like him, and he definitely liked all of them. He just sat in his chair like a good boy(haw, haw) and watched. I love the fact that he doesn't need to be right with me every single second. He didn't mind that I was across the room. He paves his own path in every social situation, making friends with everyone, just being an all-around sweetie. He fit in great in my opinion.
Side note- I saw my "long lost" uncle that night!! And met his super cute son. But again, that's not what this post is about. Just haaaad to say it. (:
After chili and going to my house for a bit, we went party hopping with his awesome group of friends. And I'm tellin ya, the parties just got better!! We only went to three, but that was plenty. I was dressed as a go-go girl, and my wig came off at the second party. You just can't dance with a bright pink bob! I met some amazing people, and did some dancing of course. But things really got going at the last party. The basement was set up JUST for dancing! And dance we did!! Foreeeever. It was awesome. There was a black light, so everyone was glowing, and there were so many fun people. It was just goofy, and silly, and LOUD. I loved every second of it. That night seemed to go on and on and on. I think I got home around 2:30. Fabulous.
Tuesday night, November 2nd. Neon Trees came to SLCC!! They are one of my favorite bands. I went with TL and Lisette of course. And we met Batman and his group there, too. Actual conversation between Batman and I:
Him: You gotta save us space!
Me: Okay, but the floor will fill up quick, so you have to hurry.
Him: Alright, save room for... (counting under his breath) Nine.
Me: Nine?!
Him: Yup! We'll be there soon!
Seriously. I didn't know what to think. Like it was the easiest thing in the world to save room for nine people to stand together at a concert that was getting packed. But.. I did it!! :D Guess it wasn't so hard after all. I'm just a drama queen. (:
The concert was amazing, and so was Batman. We all had ten tons of fun- plus some! I heard a couple songs I had never heard before- which got me really excited. (New album?? Cross your fingers!) After the concert, everyone went to Yogurtland. Why? Because it's delicious! Soo much fun. I love my friends.
And finally, last night. Thursday, November 4th. We went DANCING. Batman and his huuuge group, and Lisette and I. I have to say, I LOVE the swing. And that's what it was! For four hours last night, it was the swing. And it was amazing. I got butterflies everytime Batman dipped me, or kissed my cheek, or spun me around. I learned new moves from dancing with other people, got to see Lisette meet new people and have this wonderful new experience, and I was able to let go of everything for those few hours and just have fun. It was wonderful. It definitely needs to become a regular thing for me. The downside? I am going to be so sore, it won't even be funny! But it was worth it. (:
So there's my spill about what Batman and I have been up to. I hope that sates your thirst for gossip(you know who you are.) And if you don't know me at all, and you're reading these very words, I commend you on getting through what was probably a very dull post!! I will leave you all with these words from a movie I have not seen:
Dancing is a conversation between two people. Talk to me.
Adieu!!

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!!!

Sun Factory.. Hehe.

So today we went to tour the Sun Factory. They had a huge carnival and everything. James and Rachel invited us. (: [Rachel works for Sun. She just works in the offices downtown. She always brings home new products and stuff. Sometimes she shares. (:]
Sun Factory produces snuggle products..

We got to meet the snuggle bear! Totally awesome, right? He was very soft and squishy. (:
I also got to hula hoop a ton! Except apparently, I was supposed to get my heart rate measured first.. Oops. :P But that's okay. She read it after, and I got a prize. (: A stress ball!!! Mine was red. Mom got a blue one, and someone else got green. I put mine in my Dad's pocket so I wouldn't have to hold it, and my Mom decided she should put hers in her pocket, too..

What do you think? Pretty attractive, right? That was actually the second time she put it in. The first time, she took it right out. But I made her put it back so I could get a picture. (: Gotta love my funky parents!!!!
After the tour, we got a little more food.. [James was still hungry, and so was Coby.] Then we were just sitting around at a table talking and everything, and Rachel decided she wanted to go down the big blow up slide again. She made Coby go with her..

That's Rachel on the left, in case you couldn't tell. (:

That was our Sun Factory adventure! No free products, but plenty of free fun. (: (:
