awake and not angry.

when i moved to p-town, i was scared.

i was 18.

i was living with 5 girls i'd never met before.

in a building with 59 girls i'd never met before.
and my best friend was all the way across campus.
(k, now, heritage to helaman is super quick and easy. when you're a freshmen, heritage to the hfac is far. [for those of you who don't go to byu, heritage to helaman is about a 15 minute walk. heritage to the hfac is a 2 minute walk])

then i met bianca.
she was the first person i met at byu. i was walking down the stairs and she was walking up them.
she said "did you just come out of that apartment?"
i said "yes."
she said "i'm your roommate!"
in the next few hours, we found out that not only did we both enjoy zacky zac efron,
but also the same music
(i remember she was listening to grace kelley by mika)
and we both loved victoria's secret lip gloss.
by the end of our freshmen year, we were like this:photo courtesy of
bianc and i have a lot of fond memories.
there was the time we each drank about 3 gallons of water while we watched OTH.
there was the time we painted our nells during finals with the door shut, she educated me on a penicillin shot (it hurts like a mother, but heals like a penguin).
there was the time we went to HSM3 at midnight.
there were the times we danced to nights of endless pleasure.
there were the times we wore our leggings.
there was the time i went into her work and cried with her for about an hour.
there were the times she threw up while i was in the shower.
there was the time we took stats together.
there was the time we went ice blocking.
there was the time jumped in the pool fully clothed.
there was the time i won at the bubble blowing contest.
there was the time we went to eclipse and waited in line for like 5 hours. (that was two days ago)

a little while after i met bianca, i started to venture outside of my own apartment to make friends, and into the one next door.
this is where i met dana.
let me tell you about my friendship with dana.
the first contact i had with dana was when she added me on facebook because she could see my itunes library and she enjoyed it.
dana and i met formally at a hall movie night where we watched a cinderella story.
we then decided to watch the lizzie mcguire movie together.
after that, our weekends were filled with guarana (delicious brazilian soda), chocolate oranges, and movie nights.
we watched
zoolander, muppet treasure island, zoolander, empire records, zoolander, anchorman, zoolander
(side note: dana has the clean flix version of zoolander. it's only an hour long, so we watched it a lot.)
we also had a zac efron marathon,
this consisted of:
hairspray, the derby stallion, HSM, HSM2.
(at the time, those were the only ones he was in)
since then, we have grown crazy close,
we took bowling,
she introduced me to fun.,
we took raquetball,
i introduced her to flight of the concords,
(it's business time, and bret? you've got it going on)
we found the latke who couldn't stop screaming.
i went to my first concert with her.
we went camping in goblin valley with brissa.
i wrote her eulogy.
i miss her a lot.
(come back dana!)

5 fun facts about dana:
her true goal in life is to hold a sloth.
she likes to save slugs and snails when it rains.
her dog, toby, is one of her favorite beings on the earth.
she was on the dance team in high school, so she can do the pony.
her favorite makeup item is blush.

last year, bianca and dana formed a band. it's name is the title of this post.

in two months, i will again live with both of them. i'm so excited that i can't even stand it. it's going to be amazing. i can't wait.
