My Favorite Photo (I've Ever Taken) Brickfish

Photo moments- Last week. So jam packed

<-Week started with a bang, a swine flue bang I didn't really have swine flu, just a cold
<-Hammy in the park
<-Night of Beauy and the beast. Who is who?

<-This man tries to claim he doesn't sleep that much when he's around me. I felt i should put these together. These photos were taken with a 24 hour period of each other. Suck it, lane. I am a good person. ok i gotta give him a break, he had a very long week. <- lovely ladies at Church AND THE GRAND FINALE!!! <- first ride on a motorcycle. Sweet huh? our bishopric rocks! He took me for a ride on his baby on the freeway. Thought we were gonna die.

Tools Don't belong in Hot Tubs. They get rusty.

This is my favorite new phrase that i have come up with. On Saturday night the gang (myself, two girls apartments that i practically live with and will soon live with, and two boys from the blue house) went to the University villa Hot Tub. There were some boys there. Holy attention they gave me. I might have been flattered by this save for the fact that someguy friends that i was with teased me (they can cause they are my friends) and told the other boys in the hot tub that i was a player/heart breaker. And with that little snippet of information, faster than the ears of a dog stand up, their attention peaked.All this attention included what one could expect in the second grade: insults about schools, majors,being a drama queen, and splashing water right into my face. Well guess what boys? I didn't get that kind of flirting then, and even now i don't want it. Luckily they made their rounds tothe other girls in the pool. Then i chatted it up with the redeeming quality of all of them combined- a nice man. By this time the hot tub got really, really hot, so i moved into the pool. Not 1 minute after i did, one of the boys jumped in. We chatted...bla bla bla. I moved back into the hot tub.

Then my friends started chanting my name to do a flip in the pool, naturally i gave into peer pressure and got back in the hot tub. Got to hot, moved to the pool. Tool boy moved into the pool tool. i got back in the hot tub. So did he. wow. THis time it was just a test. I got back in the pool. Sure enough tool boy did too, as did his tool friend. Tool friend started teasing me about how he was gonna dunk me. come on. So i was like just get it over with. He was like oh i am not gonna do it once you give up. "Good" i said " i win" so i got back in the hot tub. Oh man!!! i forgot to mention this part! tool boy mentioned italy which peaked my interest. I said "Italian! really" BAM! before i could say anything else he full on splashed me in the face with water. Oh you better believe i gave him attitude after that- that was the point he started following but not making conversation.

It didn't bother me that much the whole thing but i was just shocked at the maturity level of these boys...and they were all older but yes i am calling them boys. it was really fun giving annoyed looks to each other about the tools haha. The blue house boys protected me from them. haha At one point my friend joe was like- "alice this is what we work out for. so we can protect ladies in distress such as yourself." I said, "Awww joe, you think i am a damsel?" he said, "haha yes alice i think you are a damsel." I said ( in a genuine and flattered tone), "joe! that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me and i had to feed it to you." haha It was a fun night. the top to a good weekend. good week actually.

Jon stood for my honor and virtue. he is the man who will fight for my honor.

Felony? Or moment to serve. A Great Story for My 50th post

It was a normal day. I had gotten up, gone to work, lunch, job interview...Then a twist in the day. I was headed out to get the mail and a friend in the ward(well not really a friend, but that was soon to change) came over to check his mail too. He related to me a very sad story of how in order to maintain the amazing job he had acquired he had had his parents send his Social Security Card, that he needed to turn in by five. But somehow his roommate had gone off to Arizona with the mail key.

Well, you can assume what happened next. We started to investigate a way into the mail box. Some call it a felony, others call it an act of service. We proceeded to try every possible way leading to my hand wedging in between the walls of mailboxes pulling magazines, packages, letters after letters and eventually....burr baaadaa daaa!!! an envelope including social security card! We spent an hour out there! It was so much fun i didn't even notice. This young man rushed off and made it in time to turn in his card 13 minutes to five. whew!

I really should have taken a picture of my hand. Well, it looks better than the mailbox...just kidding ....sort of. :P

Thursday in the Park with Shakes

Tonight was an adventure...Shakespearean style! To sum up- A workshop with the Grassroots Shakespeare Company. Monday : Receive the script. I learn that I will be performing as Horatio in the last scene of the play. For those not so into Hamlet, Horatio delivers the last lines (a monologue) of the play. Talk about intimidating. He is also the only character left alive to mourn. To say the least i was petrified. Thursday: Memorizing ALL DAY. Check this out. I memorized a scene in a day. About 20 rehearsed the whole show for 3 HOURS!! then we performed it for the public. Talk about a rush.

My last monologue went great. Even despite "Beauty and the Beast" performing outside not 1 block from where we were, every went well. Apparently the music totally went in time with my mono and finished even when i did. I, however, Did not notice this at all. I was being in the moment :)

Swine flu...ridiculous

I have been feeling alittle cold like lately. Then i come home from the play i went to see tonight and guess what?? Two of the three girls in apt 206(the apt. i practically live in, Jen, nikki and Erin)have Swine flu. Well they are saying their symptoms started out like mine. I doubt that. I don't even feel sick...well that sick. Yesterday sucked I have now submitted to the force that only jedi's and mothers possess. "You will go to urgent care...Ya... i will go to urgent care. You will take out a student loan and rethink your life....ya i will...wait! no i won't! suck it! Well i fell for the first one, to the point where i can't go to work tomorrow because the children will be exposed.

This whole swine flu thing is getting out of control. We are all scared we have it, when it's just a COLD! Best part is, i am not even allowed to say "I don't really feel sick, my mom is just paranoid." Nope. not at all. And it's not even just my mom! It my dad and brother too. They are just bandwagon hypochondriacs. For crying out loud.

Can you say..."not gonna happen?"

Gifts are hard in my family. No matter how many hints i have dropped, i will some how always end up with a towel. Now i don't mean to say that i haven't gotten some sweet gifts that i have wanted...not at all. I remember when i wanted a bike. I got a bike. Cd player. Cd player.

No, i just mean to say that with my parents, they cannot be trusted to take mental notes of something you noticed one time, or "I thought this would look good on you" or "Jesus told me to get you these hot pair of shoes." Nope that does not happen. You must be open and honest with what you want, where to purchase it and if there is anyother place that it may be aquired for a cheaper price.

Anyways, my birthday is coming up and of course, when put on the spot, i have no idea what i want. ...A...swim suit? But right here and now i want to state that this present would be SWEET to get for my 22nd birthday!!

But let me just tell you right now it's not gonna happen. In the words of the Irish guy that gets shot in titanic, I'm more likely to have angel flyin' out of me arse that to get close to the likes of her.

Can i just point out one thing. I am reading Farenheit 451 right now....and this thing's name is "Kindle." like fire kindling?? WTF. so it begins.

Birthday Crimes

Today is my good friend Jen's Birthday! Well, Jen isn't that into birthdays, but were having none of that. So this morning our brilliant liar Cassy called jen saying "My car won't start and I need a ride to my work meeting." Jen is a really nice person so she got out of bed at 6:50 in the morning to help out a friend.

Meanwhile i was standing under the stairs with a blanket, waiting to pounce. We kidnapped her and took her to Ihop- A holy place for breakfasts.

It's in the Bag

So right now I should be writing my talk for church on sunday but i am so distracted so i decided to blog.

Would you look at this adorable homemade bag??? I won this off of a blog give away (one of my new favorite ways to score free stuff). I have used it almost everyday and it is simple and goes with just about everything i own and is big enough for school folders. I keep my role in it and my ipod and wallet and a bunch of other crap. check out this etsy shop for more cool hand-made stuff. Harp on the owner to make more bags and then buy then super cheap!

Australia

Some call it long, others call it epic. A movie that catches, keeps, and shoves around your attention in every other possible direction is Australia. The stylistic direction of Baz Lurhman combines with native Australians Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Their acting keeps up with every one of the several climaxes. Who can deny such a future classic favorite while Lurhman keeps in time with new ways to shoot classicly? His use of theatre like backdrops and period type camera shots that draw the watcher back to times of Casablance and Kerry Grant, fantastically build the mystery of this multi-veristal land of Australia.

Most mysterious of all is the boy lead Nullah. His commetment to the role, surpased some of the best child actors. Playing the role of a half abiriginal, half white, grandson to a magic man but raised in constant fear of being taken away from you family and "civilized" all the while watching those closest to you fall to the dangers of Australia, would not be an easy role for the most trained actors. This little boy does it with ease.

Baz Lurhman films always carry and follow a fancinating arch, beginning with the wimsical and ending with some of the most scream out loud moments, i have ever experience in film. Australia is garunteed to take you beyond the happy ending and never leave you wanting more... in a good way.

Good Deeds

Yesterday at lunch time ( Duty more like, Alex and I stand there and makesure the kids behave.) I was noticing all the different cliques. I am not much of a clique follower myself so it was strange to actually notice them. There was a table of boys, two tables of the ethnic girls, a table of siblings, the skater boys, the "weird" boys, and the white girls who are all in my class. Then i noticed one girl sitting completely by herself.

I couldn't let this pass. What good is a teacher or someone to look up to if you don't do anything that anyone can look up to. So i went over to my drama girls and i asked if they knew her. Of course they said no. I suggested maybe asking her to eat with them. One girl said, ya i'll do it tomorrow. I thought well that's really all i can do.

Then i see Sierra...the shyest girl in the class walk right over to her and invite her to sit with them. I wanted to cry i was so touched. She didn't wait, and in a way i felt like she didnt' even do it cause i told her to. I love kids. Just when you think you see the shyest girl in the class, she up andputs her self out there. Why? For kindness. Inherint kindness. This is why i love shy people.

Blogoal- Alice a teacher??? waahhhh????

So i promised my sister i would be better at blogging, so here i goes.

Today's Drama class was FANTASTIC. These kids are fantastic!! so fun. There are eleven of them. shoot! i really meant to ask how old they are btu i keep forgetting. they are 7-9th grade. I am not sure how old that makes them. But here they are a quick descriptions

Rush: a little tike with so much energy. It's not hard to get him to talk but hard to get him to say something nice. I think he's one of those kids that just needs some love.

Chelsea: Oh man can this little girl talk. She loves it! She is always so willing to get up there and do a scene, not matter what. I partnered these two together today for a scene and then afterwards they wanted to do it again.

Sierra: she is so shy but she got up and did a scene with me today and did soooo fantastic. I was so proud of her. I loved it.

Aimee: This little girl seems shy but already feels comfortable infront of the people. I need to help her understand that she can look at her partner though. She has the most beautiful hair!

Lauren: I am really excited to get to know this one,. She didnt' say a word but at soon as she did her scene with Rusty jumping out of a plane...man you shoul dhave seen the tactics flying!

Rusty: Such a tough persona but wait...oh he is complimenting everyone. So much energy

Donavan: This kid is so cool. Holy good actor. never been in a play or anything but he just knocked it out of the park.

David: hahaha. Oh man. he is halarlious. So creative.

Starla: she gave me my favorite moment of the day. "Mars" you had to be there. she is hilarious. I am excited for the one act and what she'll do with the part.

Ray: He is sooo observant. He deffiantely won for best comments today

Shoot i might be forgetting one person. THat's ok. I have more to say later tonight.

Stay tuned for Lunchroom love and No good deed goes unnoticed.

My Bachelor's of Fine Art Senior Show

I am an Acting Major at BYU. The anticipation for a senior show last more than semester before your senior year and then most of the summer waiting for fall. This waiting process has been a little scary for me because in order to be cast in a senior show or any of your classes you have to maintain a certain score. This last score i got was not so good.

But a couple days ago i got the official word that i will be in my senior show!!! i can't tell you what a relief it was to hear this. A senior show works like this, the acting committee choses from the season of show which ones will be the senior project. Then the Committee decides which one your will be in and also which part you will play. This part is chosen to stretch you in your acting...aka make it really hard for you.

My Senior show will be...

My Simple Wonders


Incase you can't see the resemblence (haha wink wink) THis is my sister's blog. She's great and I love her. Right now i am at her house in Colorado for the blessing of her newest edition Zachary. I am having a blast already. Free Krispy Creams and jumpin on the tramp with my nephews. They taught me how to do a front flip!!! cha ching. This morning JAred and Adam came and sat on my lap whilst i read the newspaper...mostly the theatre reviews. Then we looked at all the movies out and they read to me the words they knew. So cute. My nephew Noah just repeats everything you say. It's like a walking britney song. For example: I am hungry (noah: HUNGRY!) LEt's eat some Chicken (Noah: CHICKEN!) Ilove Noah (Noah: NOAH!)
