Interesting ways I've met interesting people: The Brandon Stone edition

Year: 2002
Place: kilby court,
The band: Ben Kweller

I was 18, and high school was nearing an end. My friend Bobby and I were avid concert buddies, I said to him do you dare me to ask someone if I can buy their shirt off them? you see, every time I went to a concert it was inevitable that I would see someone with a shirt I wanted (i.e. this or this). So I devised a plan to just buy shirt off people's backs. Bobby, knowing my plan, dared me to. So I found a good looking shirt on a tall red headed boy and said, "hey can I buy your shirt off you?" He laughed and reply "no. my grandpa gave me this." I pressed him a little more, but he would not sale that effen shirt. and we've been friends ever since.


stay tuned next time for the sequel - how I met Heather Diann Forsey.

Interesting ways I've met interesting people: The Tim Glenn edition

setting: West Jordan High School
year: 2001
Shirt: Weezer

The brief introduction: it was near the end of junior year, classes were in session. I was out in the hall wondering and there's this guy with a Weezer shirt. I said, "oh you like weezer." and he said something like "yeah. the have a new album coming out." BAM! that's when I knew I gotta be friends with that guy.

fast forward to the first week of senior year >>

I was in some arts class that was boring and only consisted of sweet bros. I ask my teacher for the hall pass, I needed a break. as I was walked around halls I ran into Tim. Our conversation was very brief, I ask "what class do you have right now?" he said, "creative foods." As soon as he walked away I walked straight into the counseling office and said, "I need to get into creative foods, so can we change my schedule." 20 minutes later I walked into Tim's class.

And we've been best friends ever since.

and the best part is now I have a Hope!

Match dot com. Cycle #3

and we're back

Breanne and Imri




She is smart, fun, fashionable, and really good at making up movie titles (e.g. "Presbyterians at our picnic").

He is smart, fun, fashionable, kind, a good cook, adorable, nice, not a robot, hard working, and one of my best friends. Here's his only fault- he loves kimchi. blah!

Why it would work: she's fun and exciting and he loves that junk. He's creative and not 22 and she'd be really into that. Plus the other day she said, "let's go get sushi" and that when I knew that they should get married and use b.e.a.n.s. (big evening and night and sound) weddings for their wedding and events needs.

Match dot com. Cycle #2

Heather and Daren



She loves living life. Loves laughing. And ultimately, is the shit.

He is funny. So California. Loves the outdoors. In the game of life he'll bite you with wit. If he says he's going to leave a party early- he won't.

Why it would work: They have so many things in common, both work at the O (verstock), both love snowboarding and the wake, both laid back, both love music, and both are funny. And if they were both trying to live with someone not cool it wouldn't happen. and when it comes down to it they both have a best friend named megan belcher.

Jane and Greg



She is a school teacher and has great style. Her mom's awesome. And she is from Seattle.

He loves music and plays the guitar in a Saves the Day cover bands. He has the best laugh and skin tone. He loves owls (but hates owl city). He loves thrifting and designating days of the week to things (e.g. Mexican Monday, VHS Wednesday, typical Tuesday etc.)

Why It's going to work- both won't introduce themselves to each other. but will now.... plus both have great style


Kristine and Nate Brans



She is creative, adorable and loves sewing. If there was someone in this world I would pick to put on project runway it would be her. She turns pillow cases into tops.

What he lacks in memory he makes up for in cooking a mean bratwurst. He loves partying and helping the unemployed. He is also one smart cookie.

Why it will work- Here are just a few reasons, both love hosting parties and are social butterflies Nate, she's your butterfly, sugar, baby. plus he has a romantic bedroom.

Match dot com. Cycle #1

I would say 92% of the single people I know want a girlfriend/boyfriend. So why aren't these people just dating each other? Because they're waiting for me to set them up. well wait no longer:

Kate and Matt



She's knows what she wants to do and what she doesn't want to do. She likes baking, making stuff, all colors and being with her family.

He is from Vegas. Lives with Phil. and I've heard he's a great kisser.

Why it would work- He has a bit of mystery about him and I think she would like that. She's sassy and he would be into that. They both know who each other are but that's about it. Matt here's the secret with her-> ask her out on a date*

*read terms and conditions

Carrie and Nathaniel


She's cute (hot looks- awes personality), laid back, smart, up for trips and doesn't like after parties (or parties that much). She enjoys playing volleyball, miniature staplers and tv on dvd.

He's smart, loves planning awesome trips, doesn't really like big groups or parties. He is creative, kind, funny and has tv on dvd.

Why'd they would work out: did you not just read the above description of each of them..?

Looks at this cute little thing I got in the mail

My friends Melissa and Andrew are getting married! my only question- is Cassie behind all of this?


ps black spots not included

Good things Utah

here are some highlights of today.


1.

this little guy has been my best friend during recovery

2. The Glenns came over for a visit!! (and if your wondering, yes I gave them each my business card)

3. I love overhearing what my mom says to her husband. She got a new washer and dryer is so excited. After she did the first load of laundry she said "Oh Dave it works like a charm! it's charm school! our new washer and dryer are charm school!"

4. my mom's home teachers came over. It's been so long since I've been present for family ward home teachers.

and 5. I got two kitties tucking me in





I know I should really get over kitties, but it's so hard when they are so cute...

Nurse Jo Jo

hat included

I just want a lot of vintage buttons!

I like these

thanks ffffound

when you get your tonsils out

and it really helps if you have a nurse like this

got 'em out got 'em out way out!

I got my tonsils out. while the Dr was in there he also took out my adenoids and a cyst. Thank you.

Love this

Maybe my halloween costume was too scary

I only made one friend...

My biggest competition

I told you, she's the silent killer

I got a call from Kaylene this evening

it seems fate has thrown me a curve ball....

Dad and mom

here's a picture of when my parents were first married.



and that's the house I grew up in....

My mom

here's an old picture of my mom, she's the tall one of course. and on the left is my Aunt Gail.



cute dimples mom....

My left eye hurts

fate would have it...

In the same mere hour Patrick Swayze was taken from us, I was gifted the befriendment of Bob. A boy that (as far as I can tell) is Mr. Swayze's offspring, the resemblance is striking. everything from the fluffy hair to the swaying hips.

is this new found friendship a coincidence? I think not....


is this a picture of Patrick Swayze or Bob? we'll never know, cause I'll never say...

got bangs

so now I look like an adult...



wow that doesn't even look like me... but I'm pretty sure it is

I'm trying to think of the most boring things I can

oh great, nothing is boring to me right now... not even listening to my dad and brother talk about cranes. Not even reading journal articles (especially not reading other people's journals). Not even the movie pearl harbor (ugh... it's just irritating).

mmmm.....what about golf or Oprah or wait for your oil to get changed.

ok I'm yawning....

What else makes me tired? warm cars and long drives. Owen. My brother's old mission videos. warm classrooms with monotone teachers...

I think it's working...

still awake....

Zzzzzzz

I was hoping to go to bed before 3am.... that gives me 18 minutes to get tired and stop thinking.... and stop blogging... roar! can I do it? we'll see.....

gees-la-weeze

I've been having just the darnest time sleeping the last few nights...

I just keep thinking about food...

When you go to Japan

you walk through thousands of these until you get to the top of the mountain side to see the temple


you play Japanese pinball with Ikumi and Nathaniel


You see lots of temples and castles


you feed dear in Nara

you sleep on a mat on the floor with a rice pillow

you take your shoes off when you enter your hotel

you eat rice, noddles, deep fried meat, mellow pan

you take the subway/trains everywhere

you go to bed laughing at some random thing Nathaniel says

you see lots of short skirts

you go to cat hotels

and finally you get jet lag and have an 8 hour layover in San Fransisco airport

pretty much you have the time of your life

we're going to a party, it's a birthday party

it's your birthday party and we love you very very very very much.

and I loved seeing all those humans there. and being reunited with old friends. and thanks Megan for sharing your birthday party with me.

lately

just looking at maps of Seattle makes me cry...

Ps. Japan was Awesome

thanks Nathaniel for such an awesome trip...

and yeah i bought the ablum the second i found out about it

The things you learn at 4:26am

Owen has a new albu? and Mike Kinsella (owen) and Bob Nanna (Hey Mercedes) are friends? I mean he's in the new Owen music video:



00:47 (there he is and he make another appearance later too)

I miss Seattle.

I like to play this game

where I find a song (or a verse) that expresses how feel at certain moments.

Tonight it's This will destroy you- Quiet

and she's great with kids

"couldn't have done it better without the..... myself"
