We'll Watch the World From Above...

So, this week has kind of sucked. And by kind of, I mean totally and absolutely.

But, hopefully tomorrow will be fun, and I can make things better. Who knows?

So, I wanted to do some super-cute and fun post, but the camera is MIA with my mother at Ragnar right now, so I'm without photography means. Oh well.

SOOOO, I have a new idea that I'm going to feature on my blog. Once a week, I'm going to interview one of my friends/fellow bloggers, complete with photos taken and edited by moi, and a link to their amazingtastic blog. Sound like fun?? :)

So, just comment if you want to take part, with your email, and I'll get back to you all! Mmkay?

Later people! :)

President's Day...

A day where, normally, I sack out on the couch and watch Lord of the Rings for 9 hours straight.

However, today was actually remarkably fun. My mom was working unfortunately, but my dad decided to take us to have some fun as a family.

So, we went to the arboretum in Superior to take pictures and hike for a few hours. And it was suprisingly fun and extremely beautiful. Then we went to the Gold Field Ghost Town by the superstition mountains, but unfortunately my camera was dead and I didn't get any pictures there. :/

Oh well, the garden pictures are still sweet.

(Fake, but cool-looking none the less. :)

All the kids together, happy. Crazy.

So, that was my day. Oh, and that whole video thing? So not gonna happen, cause I can't figure out how to upload. Oh well.

I have a slight obsession...

with mustaches.

Seriously people. Women should be the ones to grow facial hair, because we can work it so much better than men.

See?

So anyways, on a completely related note, I want this SO. STINKING. BADLY.

Available here, it's probably the best thing I've ever seen EVER.

(On a completely unrealted note, my birthday's a month from tomorrow. Just sayin. :)

Also, I finally faced my fears and recorded myself singing.

Let me tell you, NOT my best idea. But it'll be up soon anyways. :)

Peace out girl scouts!

2010 Recap!!!! :)

So what if I'm a total copycat and doing a recap like everyone else?

Yeah. That's what I thought.

(Awful picture, but whatevs) For the first time in history, all of the Alexander family was actually together. We came from Washington, Arizona, Nevada, and Iraq, and it was so amazing to have everyone together.

I finally turned 14, and got an awesome birthday cake! :)

Got to go through the Gila Valley temple before it was dedicated. Can somebody say beautiful?

Hosted a Eclipse premiere (well my mom did, but same diff). Sarah came too. ;)

I, Victoria Renae Alexander, was inducted as a princess, and became Princess Monroe. Twas grand.

(BeeTeeDubs, this picture rules my life.)

I started to get into photography. Still definitely a newbie and honing my skills (or lack thereof), but I love it.

I took my all time favorite picture, EVER. I don't know if it's the seven chins. Maybe the eyes going two different directions. Perhaps the lower lip doing some weird junk I dont even know how to describe. Most likely all of the above. But HOLY CROW this cracks me up.

FINALLY got my braces off. Pretty much was the best ever.

So, yup. That was pretty much it. Let's hope 2011 is just as awesome. :)

Awwww.....

So, I hate blogging. I used to post daily when I was twelve*,

but I've just gotten really busy....

However, I live to creep all of your blogs. No flipping joke.

*By twelve, I mean actually twelve years of age. Not this awful, forever-Beehive state I'm stuck in.

Just thought I'd clear that up.

So I was reading the amazing, wonderful, lovely Jadyn Maree's blog...

and she nominated me for this. :)

Why she did this completely baffles me since I treat my blog like a poor, red-headed stepchild....but I don't question it. :)

So apparently I'm now obligated to post 10 things about me?
Yeah....

So, this is me and some random angry elf. Yup.

Anyways...

1. My hands are ALWAYS cold. Always. Whether it's July or December, they're always like 30 degrees colder than the rest of my freaking body. Holy obnoxious.

2. Since I could crawl, my parents have called me Captain of One-Man Accidents. I was an only child for five years, but I always managed to have a bump the size of baseball on my ginormous gourd of a head after playing. I gravitate towards walls apparently.

3. I... am Giselle. I dressed up as her for Halloween last year and won a costume contest, and was told by all the judges "You stayed in character all night... but that wasn't too hard for you, now was it?" Ouch.

4. I'm notorious for being obnoxiously know-it-all-ish. If I know a fact, I'm gonna blurt it out in superior tones just naturally. It's awful, I recognize that I do it, but it is what it is. I'll work on it. (probably not though.)

5. I genuinely hate getting compliments. When I deny something, I'm not fishing for compliments and trying to get you to keep telling me, I seriously just don't want to hear it. It's irrational and stupid, I know, but it seriously just irks me.

6. I like boys waaaay too much for a fourteen year old girl. It's proven to be problematic and I need to just be kept in a box until I can date. As dear Emily McPeek told me (jokingly I hope), "Toria, you're such a mans lady. Like a ladies man, but opposite."

7. I have no good pictures of my face. Literally. Every cool picture of me, I'm looking to the side or bent over laughing, or upside down. Once I get my braces off (NEXT WEEK! :D), this needs to change.

8. I can't wait to get out of high school, get my teaching degree, get married, and teach until I'm so pregnant I'm gonna asplode. Twill be great. :)

9. I pretty much idolize my five year old sister, Gracie. (AKA the random midget pictured above). She's hilarious, and never fails to make me smile.

10. I love the gospel with every fiber of my being. I've been so blessed in my life to never have gone through any serious trials, but I still have a testimony of this church and how it so absolutely, positively, 100% true. Seminary is pretty much my favorite place on earth and I'm so blessed to be in an amazing ward. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints=PERFECT.

So, that's me! Thanks Jadyn for nominating me! I love you!

10 people I think deserve this are definitely

Samantha H, Emily M, Jadyn H, Erika T, Alexa M,

Mi Madre-Renae A, Janelle D, Cori R, aaaand... I dunno. People.

I'm lame and don't know of any other bloggers. Haha.

(Enter 30 Other Daily Posts I Was Too Lazy To Do HERE)

Bahahaha. You probably thought I was going to finish the challenge. Suckaaaa.

Actually, if you know me even a little bit,

you probably had no doubt that

I would bail on this immediately. Either way, it definitely didn't happen.

ANYWAYS.....

I just saw Tangled. Holy most amazing Disney movie ever made.

Yes, I said it. Better than Beauty and the Beast. Enchanted.

Hercules. The Lion King. Toy Story. ALL of them.

It was phenomenal, and the music even more so.

And it helped that the Flynn was extremely attractive. :)

Most importantly, this movie reminded me of one of life long, completely embarrassing dreams.

I seriously want to be a Disney princess.

Either at Disneyland, or actually getting to voice and sing for one, I think it would be the most amazing experience ever. It's like number five on my bucket list.

So... yeah. Sorry my blog sucks.

As many people (about five, actually) are aware...

I am a cat. Not too happy about that. (Hey, unintentional rhyming!! Win.)

And because I am a cat, it is COMPLETELY justifiable to be a copy cat. So I'm gonna do the 31 Day Photo Challenge!

(See? See that logic? It works.)

Alright, Tobey ho, let's go!

(reference to a book you most likely haven't read, ignore it)

Day 1:

A Picture of Yourself With Ten Facts

1. I am twelve. I mean, ok, I guess I'm fourteen... but I'm really twelve. Most likely always will be.

2. I absolutely HATED piano.... until I quit. And now I play about 21.7 times more than I did when I actually took lessons. Weird stuff.

3. I have an irrational fear of Piglet. I mean, he doesn't terrify me or anything... but he gives me the creeps. Long story.

4. I LOVE when boys sing in church. Way more attractive then sitting there pretending you're too cool to be there, and that going to church is such an inconvenience for you... ferills.

5. I HATE talking on the phone, unless I'm in a specific mood that calls for it. I say what I need to say, then put the phone down.

6. When I read, my feet must be covered. Not like socks, but a pillow or blanket. Just my feet though.

7. I am honestly not a creative person. I can't write music, poetry, or draw to save my life. It's kinda sad....

8. I can name almost every Star Wars character ever seen or mentioned in the movies AND video games, plus planets and species. I'm the epitome of nerd.

9. Playing piano with my toes is the funnest thing ever.

10. I love dresses. If I could dress like a Jane Austen character every day of my life, I would.

Well, let's see if I actually stick with this and do Day two.

Doubtful, but we'll see.

Later! :)
