lists

i suck at blogging this year. i haven't really figured out why. maybe my life is just boring enough that i feel like i don't want to share it with the world. who knows. this is going to be a lists post cause that's easy haha.

list #1 - obsessions
1. tumblr. i am so obsessed. i swear i spend hours and hours on so many random blogs just full of pictures of amazing things. it is so interesting to me even though i know it is basically a waste of time.
2. metric. she's amazing.
3. wild belle and the fact that they have an album coming out next month. i cannot wait.
4. dreamcatchers. i want to fill a wall with them.
5. summer. i love winter, like absolutely love it. i think snow is magical and that it makes everything more beautiful. however i am done with the cold! i just want everything to be green and warm and i just want to go swimming and get tan.
6. imagine dragons. also amazing and i listen to them pretty much every day.
7. sweets/food in general. i don't know what it is about this month but i have been crazy hungry all the time.
8. spring egg rolls at panda express.
9. now is good and perks of being a wallflower.
10. the word wanderlust and it's definition.
11. zombies. this is fueled by walking dead but i just really like them.
12. baby monkeys.
13. camping. it's all i think about i feel like. i just wanna go so bad.
14. whatever this style of art is called.

 i think is is weird and beautiful and interesting.

list #2 - i miss st george
1. warmth. i don't feel like i really need to explain this.
2. red. it's weird how much i miss the red rocks everywhere.
3. the ability to drive for about 15 minutes and you were in the middle of nowhere. northern utah is city after city all blended into one mass that is very hard to escape.
4. thrift stores. i miss going and finding dollar sweatshirts. along these same lines i miss my platos knockoffs. coyote exchange was going to order some tiny earrings for cartilage piercings (these are harder to find than you would think).
5. my friends. and family.
6. adventures. st. george is probably one of the best places to have adventures because everything is just so different than anywhere else.
7. the swimming hole/grandpa's fishing pond. it's the perfect place to run, swim, and just hang out.
8. trail running. the closest i can get here is a paved path next to a smelly river where i get passed by much more serious runners and bikers. not even close to the same. it doesn't make you feel alive in the same way.
9. my old job. yes it sucked but i miss being around people and getting to talk to them face to face.
10. sunsets.
11. palm trees. i cannot believe i miss these dang things cause they are not even trees but i do really miss them. i saw a palm tree statue in salt lake a little while ago and it made me laugh.
12. st george guys. i say this very halfheartedly. yes they were still utah boys but at least they were more manly than most of the guys up here. i miss my idaho men.
13. people. not all of them but i do miss the interesting ones. i feel like st george attracts some very interesting people. i cannot stand boring people.
14. polygamists. i don't miss them really, it's just odd not seeing them all the time.
15. places to take pictures. this kind of goes with number 3. but i mean i could go wander the "alleys" and not be scared even a bit. here, not so much..
16. the D. every town in utah seems to have this need to put a giant letter on the mountainside but nobody does it quite like st george does.
17. truberry. this place that made the most delicious acai bowls. all fruit with organic granola and coconut and honey on top. the tru red was my favorite.
18. that one greek restaurant. i forget the name of it. their falafel gyros were to die for.
19. being close to vegas. this is a two part one. half always really being concerned to touch money especially dollar bills because you never know where that paper had been that week. half the people that would come and visit. there are some nutters.
20. pioneer park.
21. lack of homeless people and being able to go to parks and such with zero fears.
22. urban revival. this is my most favorite store in the entire world.
23. the tomato spinach tortellini soup from pasta factory. their breadsticks too. i have to learn how to make this.
24. dances. it seems like there was always one to go to which i loved. 
25. living somewhere that people envied. that was fun.
