Long, Long Time

Wow, I have been severely lacking in the blog-posting area. Sorry about that. I guess life hasn't been exciting enough to write about...? Okay no that's a lie. Life is always exciting! Perhaps it has been TOO exciting...! :P

Well, the first two weeks of April I was working on a film called Snow Beast. Then I somehow ended up planning this absolutely MASSIVE party that ended up being at my house on April 30th (it was supposed to be outside at the park, but stupid weather forced a location change). Once upon a time, I had on my bucket list that I wanted to host a successful party of 100+ people or more... yeah, after that party I'm calling that one good. I don't know how many people total came, but it was crammed. I'd say at least 60  or 70. But I didn't really get to enjoy the party at all because I was constantly running around trying to fix things that had gone wrong (ie Rockband wasn't working, the live music area had some glitches, needed a new cable, etc; projector wouldn't hook up to the cable). *However*, despite all of that, I am still glad that I put it on.

The whole idea of having this party was to get the four 'older' wards in my stake to socialize a bit more. I feel like a lot of people in these wards have a harder time branching out and getting to know people if they are not at a ward activity, etc. So with the help of others in the neighboring wards, word went out and it was a success. I even had a friend come up and tell me later, "your party = huge success. Someone asked for my number and we're going out next week!" Well, that was the whole idea of the party, so I'm glad it worked!! :)

Aside from that... I worked on 127 Hours for two days, but that was it. I have high hopes for that movie. It will definitely be rated R (I mean hey, they film - in detail - the arm cut off. It's based on a true story - of the hiker in Utah who cut his arm off to survive) but I could see it getting lots of awards.

My birthday is tomorrow! Yay, I'm excited. Although, somehow 24 seems so much older than 23. 22 to 23 wasn't that bad, but 24 sounds like a bigger jump. Yeah yeah, I know - I'm still young and blah blah. 24 will be a good year. :)

Oh, and a random funny story from yesterday. So, this week I have been TRYING to get to sleep at a decent hour (ie sometime between midnight and 1) and each night something has come up and I have failed miserably. Last night was just so funny I swear it had to have been timed to happen like this. Around 12:30 or so, I was still talking with a friend and finally said that I really ought to get some sleep. We said goodnight and RIGHT as that conversation ended, another friend of mine messaged me. This friend needed advice on a few things, and it turned into a super long (but good) conversation. But it was past 2:30 and I finally said that I really should hit the sack. Agreed. But no joke, less than a minute after that was said, and AS I was reaching to click "go offline", another friend messaged me! Luckily, that conversation didn't last too long and I was in bed by 3... yeah, 2+ hours past my goal. Fail. Tonight will be better... I hope!
