A Habit You Wish You Didn't Have...

A habit I wish I didn't have is LAZINESS. I am so lazy when it comes to really doing ANYTHING. Especially when it comes to laundry and cleaning my room. I wish that I could just wake up and either have the motivation to clean my room and do other things OR have it already be done for me. How sad is that?

The Meaning Behind Your Blog Name...

I don't know what you want the meaning of... the meaning of "emdawg13" OR the meaning of "These are the words I'm spittin" So I will tell you the meaning behind both.

Emdawg13: is my chatter name online... basically my online alias. Some friends do call me Emdawg but minus the 13. 13 is my lucky number so thats why I added the 13 to it. I've been emdawg13 since I was about 17, since thats when I got my hotmail email and started chatting again.

These Are The Words I'm Spittin: Yes it is original and I thought of it all on my own. I felt pretty cool when I made my blog and put that as my title. It doesn't really have a meaning but I think it could mean something like, Sometimes when I talk its like word vomit, just all over the paper or screen or whatever... so its like I'm spittin my words out to ya'll like word vomit! :)

Most recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself....

1. I'm addicted to Facebook and being online. I'm constantly there and I think about it when I am not on it. Therefore, I am an addict to Facebook and the Internet. (Darn you Mark Zuckerberg for making Facebook!)

2. I just wish I was more organized! I clean people's houses for a job and then my room is a COMPLETE DISASTER! There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with that!

3. As smooth as I am with technology and what not, I could NEVER have a smartphone, Blackberry, or iPhone. I wouldn't be able to grasp it quickly. :( I have a touch screen now and that is bad enough for JUST texting! Ugggh!

4. I LOVE autumn! I love the cool air, the smells, the leaves crunching on the ground, wearing sweaters and long sleeves, going for walks, and just how happy it makes me! I love Fall/Autumn!

5. I have 5 nephews and 3 nieces and they are the best little things in the world! I love them all and I can't wait to see them get bigger and cuter and funner! YAY!

6. I love candy, soda pop and junk food SO MUCH! Someday, I will be fat! But not today, I'll still keep eating my candy and drinking my WCP all the time! :)

7. Instead of getting rid of clothes, I just go out and buy more hangers! Yesterday, my mom bought me 20 more! I really only needed about 10 but she's like, "Why not buy 10 more..." At least NOW I can buy more clothes... LOL... or if anyone is willing to donate ones they don't like or don't fit them to me... I would love you forever! (Not saying I don't have clothes cause I do... but I just love them so much)

8. I love Glee! Everything about it. Its just awesome! :)

9. I sleep with my baby blanket and a nightlight! What of it?? Its for personal protection and security, ok? Step off me!

10. I was so happy when America picked "White Out" Mountain Dew as the new flavor of Mountain Dew... Its like the best! (Ps I'm drinking one right now!)

11. 15 questions didn't seem so hard until now, dang!

12. I want a puppy or a fish! I think some sort of pet would give me responsibility! I know we have Pal, but its not the same. He's old and boring, I want something NEW and FRESH! I'm thinking a little puppy that can sleep with me in my bed and I can put it in a bag and take it places or a nice beta fish in a fish tank! yeah... right??? Like my parents would let me have a fish or a puppy!

13. I want to travel more. I know I have gone to Canada every four months or whatever, but I don't really go any place else besides Provo or Delta. :( I wanna go to like, California or Vegas again! Or somewhere out east.. like New York or New Jersey! Someday... when I'm a bazillionaire!

14. I love taking pictures! Maybe I should go to photography school and get a nice camera and take pictures of random things or people! Someday...

AND 15. I just love being home in Oak City! My family is great and it's just fun! Sometimes, I wish I was closer to the big city so I could hang out with my friends from up in Orem/Provo... but I wouldn't trade that for the quietness of the small town I come from!

Hmmm....

I haven't really put much thought into going to college but now I am. I'm almost 23 years old and I'm thinking NOW about college. But I never took the ACT and I've never really known what I want to do. My head is spinning just writing this blog post... its still just an idea. But at least school is at the forefront of my mind now and not at the back like it was 5 years ago when I was supposed to be thinking about school... so random... ANY THOUGHTS?

7 Days!

I'm leaving the country again in 7 days! Does anyone want anything while I'm up there? Something that they ONLY have in Canada that they don't have in the states? :)

I'm excited to travel again, its been since July that I've flown and I just want to get away for a few days! Then come back and hopefully have something to come back to. (a job, mostly) :)

YAY CANADA... Eh?

Monday-Thursday Nights...

MONDAY!!!!

DANCING WITH THE STARS!!!! YAY! I have always LOVED ballroom dancing and I loved the show "So You Think You Can Dance". I especially love DWTS because it has some of my favorite stars from my favorite shows, Kyle Massey, Audrina Patridge, Brandy, Jennifer Gray, and most importantly...

THIS LOVELY DELIGHT.... MIKE (The Situation)!!! I was super stoked with the results show tonight that reveled, HE WAS SAFE FOR ONE MORE WEEK! He better step up his A game next week or its die time! (Just Kidding) pssstt.... I voted for Mike 12 times on abc.com... you should too.. next Monday night after 9pm! :) TEAM SITUATION!!!

TUESDAY!!!!

GLEE!!!!!!! (Please ignore that it says it premieres on May 19, that was season 1) Season two premiered TONIGHT!!!! Glee is about a group of high school kids trying to fit in at their school by joining the Glee Club. I LOVE this show because its like the drama of a drama show, but then it has music and songs that I know and that I can sing along to! Its just great! Thanks to Leah and Monica for showing me this show! I am hooked! And.... I love the guy in the picture, Finn Hudson on the show, or Cory Monteith, the actor who plays him.

Also, the results show of Dancing with the Stars is on Tuesday nights, but luckily they showed the footage from Monday nights at the same time they showed Glee so I didn't have to miss who got voted off. :)

WEDNESDAY!!!!

HELLCATS!!! This is a new one I have grown to love and premiered on the CW just two weeks ago. This show is about a girl who loses her scholarship and decides to try out for cheer at the college to get a scholarship. It stars, Ally Michalka and Ashley Tisdale. If you like cheerleading and DRAMA, like I do then you will LOVE Hellcats!

THURSDAY!!!!

THE OFFICE!!!! YAY! The Office Season 7 starts THIS Thursday on NBC! Steve Carell has stated that season 7 will be his last, and I say, "The Office will not be the same with him gone!" I have been watching the Office for YEARS now, and I just love it. I admit at first I didn't really see a point to The Office and thought it was rather "lame". But now, I am hooked and want all the seasons on DVD. (Lucky Leah, who has them all. I envy you!)

JERSEY SHORE!!!!

Jersey Shore started it's 2nd season a few months ago, and I just love it. I love other people's drama, and these people are so loud and obnoxious, so it's even more funny. My favorite is by far Mike (The Situation). But in close seconds is, Jenni (JWoww), Nicole (Snooki), and Pauly D.

Man, I love this show and I really hate Angelina! It comes on the channel MTV.

As you can see, I love my shows and I wouldn't miss them for anything. One thing I dont like, is I can't really Tivo my own shows to watch later because my parents watch different shows than I do at the same time. So I go in their room and watch my shows or wait till later and watch them online, either way... I watch them!

Do any of you have shows that you love to watch and you cant wait until the next episode comes on? Feel free to leave your comments in the comments... obvi. :)

Does ANYBODY even read my blog?

Hello.... Is anyone there??.... I'm blogging here... just wondering if anyone reads it..... Hello???..... Someone please answer..... :(

But seriously... does anyone really read my blog??? Do you just read my blog and then NOT comment? uggh, I guess I need some sort of satisfaction that people actually take the time to blog or read blogs.

I'm thinking about closing it... any thoughts?

ANYONE AT ALL.... :(

What did I learn in Stake Conference??? (Sept 18-19)

I learned....

"We must build enduring faith in Jesus Christ by saving & rescuing souls.

- Be dilligent and encouraging." President Droubay

Alma taught his people that in order to gain salvation they must:

1. Repent & Keep the Commandments

2. Be born again

3. Cleansed in the blood of Christ

4. Be humble

5. Do good works

That is the only way WE can gain salvation as well. We can only rid our lives of the worldly things, if individually come unto Christ and do all we can to do the right things all the time.

We must make family prayer, family history, and family scripture study a priority in your life, so it wont be a struggle for you and it will be a blessing. :)

D&C 68:6 Be of good cheer and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you and will stand by you.

We must have faith and hope in the Lord when doubt and fear comes.

We are in our own "mission field" just like the missionaries, so we must be doing all we can to bring souls unto Christ.

"We should not go to our maker and say that we didn't teach anyone about the church because we are too busy, too shy, or whatever the case may be. --Every member a member. -said by Elder Wilkinson

Helaman 5:12 No matter the trial or struggle we are faced with, we must ALWAYS build our foundation on the Savior Jesus Christ.

"It is a silly thing for us to be offended out of the church."-Elder Dallin H. Oaks

Never give up hope when rescuing those who have fallen away. They will be saved;we all will.

"Time and truth are on your side" -Elder Anderson

We must attend the temple, do family history work, be anxiously engaged in sharing the gospel and finding people for the missionaries to teach, have faith and pray for the work to progress in places where missionary work is not yet available, and serve others. -President Pace

"Personal testimony is the foundation of our faith" -M. Russell Ballard

Every breath Jesus Christ took was all about love.

-His message is essential to returning to Heavenly Father. His message is still being taught today by members and missionaries.

-His ministry of miracles. Which are still being performed by worthy priesthood brethren.

-His mission of being able to pay the price for all mankind (The Atonement). Which is the single greatest act in the history of mankind.

"We must know of the love of God for all of His children and serve them all." -Elder Oaks

Testimony Gloves

1. Heavenly Father lives.

2. Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of the world.

3. Joseph Smith is a prophet of God. He restored the gospel and translated the Book of Mormon.

4. The Church of Jesus Christ is the true church on the earth.

5. We have a prophet on the earth today. (Thomas S. Monson)

"Dont be stupid!" -Elder Oaks

D&C 38:42 Go ye out from among the wicked; save yourselves. Be ye clean the bear the vessels of the Lord.

As you can see... I learned alot this conference. I was truly edified and am so thankful for the amazing opportunity it was to hear from an apostle of the Lord.

I just love Church! :)
