date night...

so i had a date tonight. with frenchie friend. lol. that sounds funny. anyways, he took me to the hindu festival of lights in spanish fork, it was interesting ,and supposedly we ate indian food, but he said it wasn't authentic stuff. so yeah. then we went to a dance party put on by one of my friends, and then we went to the wilk halloween party. that was fun. i am pooped though. i went to the football game (2nd half) instead of doing my homework, that was no good, well it was. it was lots of fun, but i didn't do any studying for my music test that is on monday. so i am doing that now. ugh. stupid class. i need to do better on this test, but i don't know if i will. we'll see i guess! i still like ja alot. i think i will save him a seat in sacrament meeting tomorrow afternoon, but we'll see if anything else happens. i need to get pics from conf. still as well. anywho....that is all.

Bah

la bah bah ugh. its friday, and a pay day friday, but its raining, i have a test on monday/tuesday, and i have 3,000+ flyers to fold. and its not just flimsy paper so that you cand do like 5 at a time, its hard cardstock type stuff. and i haven't herad from ja boy since sun, even though i called him last night for a ride home, jc came and got me instead. frenchie (who funny thing is, his name starts with j too....) asked me out. he called me last night, and i am going to a hindu festival w/him, and then a coworker's halloween party. that will be fun. i think. we'll see. frenchie is a fun kid but i don't know if i like him like that. well, back to folding. see ya.

today while the sun shines

so ja is now teh most confusing person ever. i don't know where things are going, but one thing is for sure, i am not going to ask him out again. he needs to make the next move. FOR SURE! i have a lot of things i am focusing on, but we'll wait and see. i want him to ask me out again, andi have made that clear. but we will just have to wait and see. bah. love games are stupid. but i know that i like this guy. shoot. well...that is all, i suppose.

*sigh of contentment*

So I really wasn't going to ask JA out for this weekend, but then the pumpkin thing just decided to work out better for this week, so i went with it. i called him. and come to find out through my roommate truit, ja told truit's bf that he wanted to ask me out, but he knew this week was crazy for me. so yeah....but still. that gives me hope, and maybe he knows now that i like him. he better. i gave out a lot of signs. i like this kid. alot. and i don't know what it is. i am still working on that. we didn't talk alot, i need to figure out some things to talk to him about. he has crazy meetings tomorrow, but i told him he should save me a seat for conference, but i don't know if he will. we'll see i guess. he said he would call and let me know. :) what a good kid. i hope i get to sit next to him, cause that would make my day!! anyways........i am going to bed now, cause i decided that would be a good idea. :D night!

home sweet home

i love home. it is always nice to go home to a house with normal house things, and not just apartment style living. hung out with sis1 last night. she is silly, we watched a couple of different things last night, and then both went to bed, although she got into bed way before i did, well at least an hour before. and i did get to bed, earlier than i have been, but still later than i wished.

woke up ON TIME this morning, and actually got to do my hair. ballet we had midterms and today we get to watch the video of the midterms, so its exciting cause i don't have to dress for ballet today, so my hair can be down. which is a rare occasion. so hurray for that! :D

i am taking the siblings to see Valiant tonight in the dollar theater. i don't know if its going to be any good, or if it will just be cheesy, but it will be fun to treat the kids to a movie. my parents are having a blast in colorado, or so i am told, and they went and visited G&G in New Mexico...which i think is cool. Life is just good right now, I am loving every minute of it. :D

I have noticed a trend in my blogging. It always (well not always...but usually...) happens in the 9 o'clock hour, i think that this just must be the down hour at work. not always, but sometimes. It's Friday, 3/4 of the full time employees are traveling at different conferences and such, and so things are just quiet! but i love it. its been a good week. i must go type up something for a class, so i will leave you with this thought: If he had a mind, there was something on it.

sleep is overrated, especially when it comes to boys...

So yeah, yet another late night. i really didn't mean it this time, i was watching gillmore girls with a friend, and in walks J.A. ha ha ha..... i really didn't think he would come over, and i didn't call him, but he did. and so we hung out, and then he had to go and help someone with excel...when he was giving me a hug good-bye i whispered in his ear, thanks for coming over. and then i told him that if he didn't take long helping out this friend with excel that he could always come back over. so then i resigned myself to 50+ pages of anatomy reading....and in walks J.A.!!! :) So he stayed until pumpkin hour, and it was fun, and he's cute, and he knows i am going home today cause the parents are out of town and i get to babysit...but he also knows that i am completely free on saturday night. :) so maybe he'll ask me out. maybe.....but i think he is getting the hints, things are moving, even if they are slowly...but i am excited! :) so that is the update on me, i am not getting sleep, but i am getting somewhere with boy! :D back to work i go!

So i really didn't need those 3.5 hours of sleep....

Yeah right....I really did. But I didn't get them. I was going to go to bed at 10. But then I ended up staying up until 1:30 in the morning. Why you might ask??? Let me tell you why, but let us start with Friday...and my date with my frenchie friend....

Date Friday Night:

Okay, so frenchie comes and picks me up Friday night, and he looks good! We go to the spectacular, and he comments on how grown up I am. Ha ha ha....and we sit in our seats. They were in Outer Mongolia, but they were good seats. Kinda. Not really. But it was all good. So the spectacular was amazing, and I really liked it. He then took me out to ice cream and then we went to my apt. where I filled him in on what happened while he was gone, and then we watched a movie entitled, the Freshman with Matthew Broderick. It was good. I enjoyed it a lot. Then he went home and I got to bed at like 1:30 in the morning....yuck yuck yuck.

Saturday:

So Saturday...My friend's wedding. I actually woke up to my alarm, made muffins for me and my roommates, and then got to the dance studio early and worked on my student choreography pas de deux that I am doing in February. It was good stuff. Class was wicked fun, and I had a blast. :) Then I went home and got ready for this wedding that I was a bridesmaid for. My skirt that my mom made was AWESOME!!! I love it, and will definitely wear it again! :) So I am at this wedding and I go to Chile’s for dinner, and things are good. So I get to the place where the wedding is at....and its valet parking only. That was entertaining. lol...so S. and I go and get ready in the bathroom, then we go outside, and it was beautiful out there with all the candles, and it was a beautiful night. I loved it. So then The Bride throws the bouquet, and I caught it. So now I have this beautiful arrangement of red roses and white star gazer lilies on my table, absolutely gorgeous. I get home from the wedding and go to bed after the BYU game (which we won!!!! HURRAY!!!!) At about 11:30.

Sunday:

I wake up an hour later then I intended, and missed choir, oh well. So then I go to my friend's farewell and Elder D is going to be amazing. I am so excited for him. He is off to the Rome Italy mission, hurray! And I saw old friends from high school and we did some reminiscing and life was good. Then I went home and saw the fam. Mom made stew for dinner, and that was a yummy treat, and I made dessert and then went back up to Provo to go visiting teaching. I love VT, it was fun and I enjoyed visiting with this sister. After that I get home and guess who is there? General Conference boy: J.A. I was shocked!!!


So let me give a back story on J.A. that my roommie Truit told me later that night. My calling is Aesthetics chair person in Relief Society. So I bring the table cloth and centerpiece every week, well since I was going to be gone I asked Truit to take it for me. So she did, well J.A. noticed that she was carrying them instead of me, and asked isn't Alishka here today? And Truit said no, she's at home at a farewell, she'll be home later tonight. and J.A. says, well I missed sitting next to you guys and her saving me a seat in church (I had saved him a seat last week, but that has been the only time!!) so that was neat-o to hear. So then Truit said, well I haven't seen you in a while you need to come visit us. So he does. And when I get home J.A. was still there. Totally made my night!!!


So then I am sitting next to him on the couch and I decide to scratch his back, we end up sitting RIGHT next to each other. And life was good. He leaned into me, and I was kinda holding him, which I was totally okay with. :) Well then we play this game called WHAT IF??? and its where you write a what if question and then put it in the center, then you draw one that you didn't write, and isn't about you, and then you answer that question, and then you swap questions and read off the question and the person next to you reads there answer. So we get going, and things are going good. Well, at one point everyone decides to pick on J.A. so there are 3 questions, one about what if J.A. asked me out?, and then 2 that were like this: What if J.A. tried Alishka's lip gloss? Well....we ended on that note, and it was kind a funny. Twin roommate went to bed, and at this point it is about 11:45. We talk, and then Truit's BF starts tickling her and J.A. joins in, I try to hold them back, but neither of them are ticklish so that didn't work ,then they started on me, and J.A. held me down while Truit's BF tickled me. Then the pumpkin hour was at hand and they had to leave we gave hugs (and Truit gave kisses) and J.A. said good night and was really sweet....it was entertaining.

So now I don't know where we stand, I think he got the hint that he needs to ask me out, but I’m not sure. So we'll just have to see. If not, my roommate B and I might do a double date and carve pumpkins and I think I would ask him, but I really want him to ask me out. :) That would be good.

Okay I have ignored work for too long, I am back to work...if I can just stop thinking about him.......yeah right. :)

Bonjour le vieil ami !

or hello old friend!!! so i had this missionary friend, frenchie we'll call him, and he was in my french class when i was a sophie and him a sneior. he then graduated and went to byu while i stayed and continued my public education. we emailed back and forth and life was good. then like all good 19 yr. old males he left on his 2 year hiatus to the west indies french speaking. we wrote back and forth, except for like the last 6 months when he stopped. well, i came to byu for a year, and then he got back just this past july. he called me the first weekend of august when i happened to be at home and not in provo. we talked and that was it. i emailed him, but he never emailed me back. so when i thought of him the other day, i decided to drop him another email, and he called me at my apt. on tuesday. that was random, but cool. it was a short and sweet conversation, followed by him asking me out. lol. so tonight my friends and fellow bloggers, i have a date. a date with someone who i have not seen in 2 years. with someone who has always been a good friend, but i have never been out with once. and boy am i excited. he's taking me to the homecoming spectacular, and woohoo!!! will that be fun. so that is the joys of my life right now, and now it is probably time to get back to work... yeah right.

"Laughter is the best medicine." (Enlish Proverb)

I LOVE TO LAUGH!!! A ha ha ha ha! (Mary poppins moment....)

anyway, moving on. so cute boy in dance class, lets call him dance boy, well i asked to him to be my testing partner for foxtrot today. i knew that he was already dancing with someone else, and i thought he had asked them to be his partner, unbeknowest to me, they had actually asked him!!! He (again unbeknowest unto me until right before class) wanted me to be his test partner!! It was great! I really like him, he is on the byu diving team, and is super cute. when i wear heels, he is just barely taller than me, which is perfect. :) so yeah, we had exchanged numbers in case we needed to practice last week, i never called him, but still, he has my number! so maybe.....sometime he will me. :) cause that would be pretty swell. that is all. i am done. moving on. time to study. see ya.

How come we don't always know when love begins, but we always know when it ends? ~ L. A. Story

This is so.....true. Is it not? Well it is. anyways i called j.a. last night. :D he's going to call me today and get email address info for me to get conference pictures, and then he's not quite sure if he can go on saturday or not. it kind of just depends on his schedule. so he's going to call me. :D guess what made my day yesterday? the fact that i saw him!!! as i was walking to ballet class i practically ran into him, it was awesome, and put me on this great high. :D anywho....uh....Dr.Teeth stopped by with music last night for our pas de deux that we are performing in february. i am very daunted by this task of doing the choreography. it will be interesting. i need to check out some movies of pas de deuxs to watch. sight. k i am done. that is it for now.

tuesday woes

i have decided that i hate my anatomy class. yeah pretty much that's it. i didn't do very well on my anatomy test, and that is mainly my own fault. i need to better, and i think i will. i also have this strange sensation to have a boy friend. Truit (my roomie K) said that's okay as long as its J.A. who needs a nym. i'll come up w/something. we are calling j.a. to go to a wedding reception for Boy that i like 8 months ago. weird that he is now getting married. i am listening to music from tonga, i should pay attention. i am done now. this picture just makes me happy. which is why it is up. enjoy.

Conference Weekend High

Wow. What a weekend. I feel like the luckiest girl ever. So my friend J.A. called me Saturday night as I was partying with the girls and asked me if I had plans for conference, well my only plans were to watch it in my apartment, so I said 'No.'
He then proceeded to ask me if I would like to go up to Temple Square with him, 'cause his mom was in town and she wanted to go again (they had gone on stand-by on Saturday). So I said sure, why not. I then woke up at 5:30 in the morning on Sunday and went to conference. For the morning session we sat where the blue dot is. For the afternoon session we sat where the red dot is. How amazing is that?! I had awesome seats and totally lvoed the spirit that was felt while there, I want to go in April too, cause that would just be so spiffy!! On a side note J.A. is a cutie, and his mom is awesome. I can tell where J.A. become such an awesome person, 'cuase she was just so cute, nice, and amazing. I am thinking that I might ask J.A. out. Only b/c I want to of course. He wore a hot pink tie on Sunday, LOVED IT! And he's just a cutie and i scratched his back during conference. Which was interesting, especially 'cause his mom was there. but i did it anyways. so now i just have to decide if i should ask him out or what. :D we'll see, and i'll see if a i can't keep you updated. hurrah for conference.
