Youtube!!!

I received a call from my daddy earlier today and he was all excited about how many views I had on my youtube videos so I thought I'd share the update;

My highest watched video has over 36,000 views.

Overall I've had over 135,800 views collectively. I only have 25 videos so this comes out to around 5,400 views per video, obviously some are well over that and some are well under but still I think it's a huge number.

As of today I have 571 subscribers and 153 'friends'.

I'm pretty excited by this and I never thought it would be possible to see that many views. I'd love to see more and I love watching the views grow, I love knowing that someone is listening to my music and apparently someone likes it too :)

Anyways enough with the random facts about my youtube channel.

BANANA BREAD!!!

So I made my first ever loaf of banana bread and it looks pretty bad but it tastes amazing! The hardest part is waiting for it to cook lol! It takes an hour! way too long for me but totally worth it in the end because I am now enjoying warm, tasty, banana bread.

ps If you want the recipe it's
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1/4 c. oil
1 1/2 c. bananas (it's like 2 really over ripe bananas, I only had one good sized one and it worked just fine)
1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

mash bananas and mix with first 3 ingredients
in a separate bowl mix last 3 ingredients and slowly add to banana mixture.
bake at 350 for about an hour, bread should have a dark crust.... a really dark crust and you should be able to insert a knife and pull it out clean.

let it cool, slice and serve! or devour on your own ;)

hmmmmm........

I had something very important to tell you all and I can't remember quite what it was.... I knew I should have posted it when I was thinking about it.... darn.

Anyways life is good!
Denise is the funnest roommate ever and I love our little chats and the time we spend together. I encourage her to finish her papers and she encourages me to start mine tee hee :P
Inauguration for ASUU is next week and I'm kinda excited but kinda bummed too because that means I have to start going to meetings and I like being a free kid.
I will be completely finished with this semester next Wednesday and I can't wait!
My fish is still alive but I really need to clean his bowl again.

I finally got most of the crap off of my bed so I can actually sleep comfortably.
I wore a skirt all day today because it was that beautiful.
I saw Elder D. Todd Christofferson at the temple today .... well I think I was him and I got stuck in the dressing room because of Elder Hales so that was kinda cool.
I just looked up and realized that my closet is really messy.
It's almost 5pm and I haven't finished my paper... I'm not even half way done and I thought I'd be done by now so I need to get back to that but I think I'll stumble for like 10 min first haha!

Someday I will

I was frustrated this morning when I woke up to people yelling/screaming/cheering and police sirens going off. I thought that maybe my crazy neighbors were getting arrested finally for all the noise they cause but alas it was only the marathon. I decided to grab my camera and get some pictures since I wouldn't be able to sleep while this was going and ran... haha ok I didn't run I walked very slowly out to the street and got some shoots, none of them inspiring themselves but eh, I recorded the moment. I was watching them run a little more and I'll be honest I almost started crying, well, I actually did cry.
This was so inspiring to me, to see people running to run, running to prove they could, running for someone who no longer could or would never be able to. Even though it was a temporary thing not being able to run or do sone of ththose many simple things after my surgery felt awful. I would see people running in the park, biking, jumping, climbing, hiking.... I couldn't do any of it and I hated it! I felt so alone and outcasted all of the time. I wanted to jump and cheer when things went well in elections at school but I couldn't, I wanted to feel my heartbeat pounding and hear it in my ears but I didn't know when that would be, some of the littlest things really got to me.
I can run now and I'm getting back to where I used to be a little at a time and it feels great, I feel more alive. Someday I want to run for someone who can't, someday I will run for my grandmothers' battle with MS. Someday I want to run simply because I can! Someday I want to prove to myself that I can and someday I will.

Climbing Hands

Sometimes while looking out the window I'll see little things that make me want to jump off the bus to capture it but I've never really gotten images that I've setup and designed from the beginning so it was fun to get some shots in my 'studio' AKA my kitchen table with my black shirts draped around using the window light and directing it through the blinds or turning my subject, high tech, I know ;). Either way I've been having a lot of fun and well I'm starting to develop a passion for it.

With all my love I hope you're all having a fabulous day!
