One of my friends at work loves The Office. So, many of our co-workers at the Cannon remind her of characters from the show.
Angela: Jessica. She's blonde, always has her hair in a low ponytail, doesn't smile much, and is one of our student managers. She can be kind of strict with things, but she's not as pushy as Angela.
Kevin: Dishroom Craig. He has the same look on his face that Kevin always does, is larger, and is slightly annoying sometimes. He's a good guy, though.
Pam: Me. I sit behind the cashier's desk, direct people where to go, and am really friendly. I helped my friend play a joke on our supervisor, and egged it on. Plus, I'm the only one on our crew who's in a relationship. Which brings me to...
Jim: Ty. She decided that he's way cute and I think because he's dating me... He doesn't really act like Jim at work. And we never see him because he's on custodial work, not in the dining hall.
Andy: Sheldon. He looks, talks, and acts like Andy (minus the temper. Even though Andy doesn't really have one anymore). Enough said.
Toby: Derek. He's the other student manager. He never smiles, and never has fun. Everyone kind of avoids him. Well, not avoids him, but we don't go looking for him if we have questions or anything. I guess you could say he's the odd man out.
Well, that's it. No one is weird enough to be Dwight, and no one is obnoxious enough to be Michael. No one is drunk like Meredith, no one's a perv like Creed, no one is a touchy black guy like Stanley, and no one talks non-stop like Kelly. I think we have a pretty good crew.

arches
I just got back from Southern Utah with all my friends! Rachel, Rachel Jane, Alyssa, Heather, Curtis, Tylor and I went to Arches National Park on Saturday and hiked around all day. We left Provo Friday evening and somehow all squeezed in Alyssa's seven seater Dodge. We had literally 5 square feet of trunk space, and managed to squeeze all of our luggage, sleeping gear, and tons of food in the car with us.
We set out on the trip, all giggly and excited. We talked, listened to music, and planned. During
our discussion, we discovered that I was the oldest, so I labeled myself as the "supervising adult." We were expecting an hour and a half drive to Price where we'd be staying the night. However, in the middle of a canyon shortly after Spanish Fork, we got stopped dead in the middle of traffic. But this wasn't a normal traffic jam, because it didn't move. We were at a standstill on the highway for over two hours. We figured there must be a horrible accident because we saw three ambulances racing in the opposite direction with their sirens on. I got a little upset because that means people are hurt, but then Ty reminded me that that means people are still alive. It would've been worse to see the ambulances driving away normally.So, dilemma. What are seven teenagers supposed to do squished in a car stopped dead for two hours? Um, dance party. We turned the stereo up as loud as we could, got out, and danced around in the road. It was so fun! A few times we had to jump back in because the traffic moved up a few feet, but we had a good time. Finally, we got moving again, and finished the drive to Price, where Rachel's great Aunt and Uncle were waiting for us with barbecued hot dogs, potato and chicken salads, and key lime pie. It was delicious! Then, after drawing the new, invisible, password protected, "chastity" line in the hallway between the rooms :) we all settled down and went to sleep. Well, sort of. The girls stayed up for an hour and talked and giggled. It was funny to hear Curtis's impression of us giggling the next morning. Imagine a high pitched elvish laugh.
After intending to leave at 7, we left a little after 8:00 to drive up to the park! We finally got
there, paid, and drove in. It was breathtaking, and I couldn't wait to get out and start hiking around! I had never seen rocks or mountains like this ever before! They were gorgeous. We luckily found a parking spot, grabbed our hiking gear, and went out. It was about an hour hike up to delicate arch, but that may have been because I wanted to stop and take pictures of everything. There were some really cool hieroglyphs and awesome rock formations. Then we got to Delicate Arch (the famous one on Utah's license plate). It was much bigger than I expected! We ate lunch, which was hard because it was extremely windy. We played around, took more pictures, and then headed back to the car.After that we drove to a few more arches and walked around those. I paid less attention to the
scenery this time around because Ty and I hung back and had some really good talks. I love talking with him. We think so similarly. We saw Landscape Arch, and a few others. My favorite was definitely Double Arches. It was amazing! They were huge, with two of them stretching over you. There were some cool looking caves higher up, so Ty and I climbed up to go check them out. It turned out they weren't really caves, but it still gave us an absolutely amazingly gorgeous view. Then we drove to a little picnic area and made s'mores on Curtis's little camping stove. Really, it was just half of a pop can with holes in the side that you light. But it worked.
On the way home we drove by a humongous, steep hill, and there were tons of people playing on it. So, naturally, we pulled over and played on it, too. There weren't any bushes at all, just extremely soft, red, clay-ish sand. It was very gushy and fun! We played for about 45 minutes, climbing up and jumping back down, just squishing around in the dirt. Before we left we buried Rachel Jane up to her neck in it. I told my friends that my mom used to do that to me at the beach, and then draw a mermaid tail on me. So we tried to do that, but Rachel got up before we finished.
Finally, all dirty, tired, and smelly, we grabbed dinner at Arby's or Subway and started driving back to Provo. Ty did most of the driving, and to keep him awake I read Twlight out loud to him. During the drive home, something scary happened on the way home! We were driving through the canyon, and two deer were standing in the middle of the road! One in the oncoming traffic lane, and the other in ours, sort of on the side. They saw the headlights and froze. Luckily, Ty stayed calm and slowed a bit, and swerved right in between them. I almost had a heart attack. We were lucky that he's such a good driver!
Now we're all back home with many good memories together, wishing we could all go back! I have a ton of pictures, so I'll get them up as soon as I can. When they are, they'll be on my photobucket! If they're not posted now, keep checking. I'll get them up soon.

Quotes of the Day:
Ty: "I know first aid! I don't know second aid... but I know the first."
Ty: "Don't be sad about deer getting hit. It thins the heard. You wouldn't want a deer emperor someday."
Alyssa: "The cloud is just like suspended in the air!"
Rachel Jane: "You smell like Jell-o. Strawberry Jell-o."
Me: "I want to go to London on my honeymoon."
Mom: "Then get a job at the law library!"

what a day
So I've had a pretty bad day. Most of it is just me being unlucky. Some of it is just me.
First is just a general sadness. Tylor is leaving to go home in about 11 days. His track season is over, and since he's not taking classes, he's going home. I don't know when or if I'll see him again. It's a complicated issue... preparing for a mission and all that.
Second, I'm sore and I'm tired. I dance a lot. In ways that I've never had to move before. I usually don't move my hips a thousand miles a minute and thrust them over as far as I can.
Third, I just looked awful today. For some reason I felt it was a good idea to stay in bed an extra 10 minutes this morning instead of doing my hair. And when I look bad, I think about it all day and am self conscious.
Fourth, I started heading for the bus this afternoon to go to my child development class, and when I got to the bus stop, I went to get my pass out and realized that I had left my wallet on my dresser at home. I ran home to get it and missed the bus.
Fifth, it's been raining a lot the last two days, and it's really wet. Therefore, my shoes get wet. I was climbing down a flight of stairs to go to class today and slipped and fell on them hard and continued to tumble down them.
Sixth, after this epic battle of an afternoon I reached my class. I started getting my materials out and realized that I had left my iclicker at home... right next to where my wallet was. I couldn't answer any of the questions during class.
Seventh, after class I went outside and started to walk home. I got out my iPod and started listening to some music. I put it on random and the song "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles started playing. At this point, the sun had come out and I thought, What a coincidence. Maybe it'll cheer me up to listen to this song. It's happy. And right at that moment, my iPod shut off because the battery died.
Eighth, I've been out of milk for two days and keep forgetting to buy it.
However, I'm still pretty okay because I realized that everything has worked out in the end.
Tylor will leave, but my best girlfriends will always be here.
I will eventually build up the muscle so I can dance like that. It'll just take time.
Ty still told me that I was beautiful today. And he meant it.
I may have missed the bus, but I have an amazing boyfriend who was happy to drive me to class. And miraculously, I wasn't late.
I got to sit through a two and a half hour class, so I was off my legs long enough to let them feel better before I had to walk again. I'll probably still get stair-shaped bruises on them, but at least I can walk.
Since I forgot my iclicker, my teacher let me write on a piece of paper and turn that in so I got credit for doing the reading anyway. He's awesome.
My iPod is charging as I'm typing. And I listened to the song when I got home anyway.
I'm going to go get milk right now.
Goodbye :)

we're goin to the chapel and we're...
Alyssa, Rachel, Rachel Jane, Heather, and I were talking about weddings and honeymoons yesterday. Then Ty came over and sat there awkwardly listening to us talk about them. I think I laughed harder during that conversation than I have in a really long time!
So my left eye has been hurting quite a bit the last few days and I couldn't figure out why. It wasn't my contact because it hurt after I took it out, too. And just a few minutes ago I rubbed it and a big eyelash came out and now it doesn't hurt anymore. Good story, huh.
Quotes of the Day:
Alyssa: "The only thing I care about is the honeymoon."
and
Alyssa: "I totally would be fine staying at my grandparent's for my honeymoon."
Me: "What?! Alyssa... do you know what a honeymoon is for?"
Alyssa: "OH their beach house, not their house with them!"
and
Ty: "You're crazy."
Me: "Crazy as a bat!"
Ty: "Are bats crazy?"
Me: "Sure, why not."
Ty: "I've heard of 'blind as a bat,' but-"
Me: "Oh, yeah..."

new music
So I changed my music player. I've put on songs that I practice dance to. Hurrah.
"Hips Don't Lie": So the first is a samba. It's a Latin dance, and uses an insane amount of hip action. I just started learning it today, and I know I'm going to love it... I hope.
"Dark Waltz": The next is a waltz. I think everyone has seen waltz. It's beautiful and graceful, but one of the hardest to do. You have to perfect every detail because it goes so slow.
"It Don't Mean a Thing": Quickstep! It's so fun! I started learning this today, too. It's a fast standard dance. A really bad imitation of what it looks like is if you do a fast walk, add some skips, and do a small jump every once in a while. Maybe not so much fun to watch, but definitely fun to dance.
"Muevelo": Next is a cha-cha. Another Latin. Step forward and throw your hand to the side, throw in little hippy, smooth side chasse steps, and you've got yourself a cha-cha.
"Night and Day": This is a foxtrot. It looks just like waltz, but it's not. When you get to the higher level foxtrot, it's hard to tell a difference between it and a waltz. I guess you can tell because there are quick steps in a foxtrot. The basic is slow, slow, quick, quick. Waltz is all slow. However, you can waltz to foxtrot timing and music, so I really don't understand why foxtrot exists. It's probably my least favorite.
"She Will Be Loved": Rumba. The dance of love. Aww. Act sexy and look at your partner like you want them more than anything at that moment, step on a straight leg, and don't move anything above your waist. Basic rumba.
"Little Deuce Coupe": And last is triple swing. This is one of the American dances. It's way fun, and very bouncy. A combination of rock steps and triple steps (like a ball-change in jazz) with some fun turns gives you triple swing.
I hope none of you are trying to learn how to ballroom dance from these descriptions.

outdoorsy weekend
I went to the zoo! It was so much fun! Ty, Rachel, Rachel, and I went yesterday afternoon. First, we had lunch at TGI Fridays. That was a lot of fun. I got fish and chips. For some reason I've been craving fish lately. Actually I've been craving it ever since I went fishing. But we didn't catch anything. I don't think any fish live in Provo River. But it was fun all the same.
Oh yeah so after lunch we got to Hogle Zoo! It's a little past Salt Lake. We went inside, and who did I run into? My cousins Rachel and Collin, and their daughter Becca! I was so excited! I hadn't seen Rachel and Becca for almost two years! After I visited for a few minutes, we went and saw a white alligator, lots of monkeys, penguins, elephants, rhinos, llamas, giraffes, snakes, lemurs, birds, porcupines, gorillas, meerkats, and pretty much any animal you can think of. I love seeing the big cats probably the most. They are so fuzzy and cuddly. It made me miss my kitties at home. When we saw the cougar I started singing the BYU fight song. It was pretty cool. After a few hours and lots of pictures later, we went and got ice cream. It was really hot, so the ice cream was really refreshing. Yay for Coldstone and cheesecake oreo milkshakes!
So on Friday afternoon, Tylor and I biked up to Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon. It was beautiful! And a really fun bike ride up there. We left from Wyview and rode up there. It looks like a far way, but it was only 12 or 13 miles total. We took a blanket and books up there and read under a tree. It was a perfect day and the best weather I've seen in 7 months. It was nice to get outside and do something in the fresh air! We going to Moab with Rachel, Rachel Jane, Alyssa, Heather, and Curtis next weekend to see Arches. I can't wait! We're staying with Rachel's aunt and uncle and hiking around next Saturday. I've heard about the Arch and seen pictures, so I can't wait to see it in person!
Pictures of the zoo, fishing, and biking to Bridal Veil Falls:

the things i do for dance
I just got home from taking my first spring midterm. It went pretty well. I am pleased :) Maybe it's just because I love that class. And I did just realize that I have my first paper for the class due Thursday. But at least it should be interesting. We can choose between three topics. I don't remember what the other two are, but I'm writing on what the effects of divorce are on the children involved.
I'm eating Valentine's candy. Peanut butter chocolate hearts my momma gave me.
Ty played a doctor last night and bandaged my toe for me so I could dance today.
In both my Latin and standard class we were filmed dancing our routines. Then my teacher put them online so we could watch ourselves while he gave critiques. I'm kind of nervous because I've never seen myself dance. But I'll take it as a comfort that 3 out of the 7 guys in my standard class asked to film with me.
So the website with the videos is http://chhpvideo.byu.edu/
Both of them are posted now. They are second and third from the top titled "Latin 185 Rumba" and "Standard 184 Waltz." Both have a May 12, 2008 date. I will warn you that it's taking about 45 minutes to load one video, and it's not done yet. And my teacher said do not use Internet Explorer, that it usually takes hours to load on there. Use Firefox. Also, if you don't let it load all the way first, it won't finish loading once you start playing it. I know it's a lot of trouble to go through, so I honestly would not care at all if no one watched it. But if you did have to pick one to watch, watch my rumba. It's better than my waltz.
Okay, so I managed to get the clip of me in bad quality, but here is my rumba if you would just like to watch it on here:
And here is my waltz:
I got standard pumps on Saturday! I am SO excited! I don't have a picture yet, but I will get one! They are pretty ugly but I've never worn more comfortable shoes for dancing in my life. They just flex and move with me while I dance. They are fantastic.
Wow, my toe really hurts.
Quotes of the Day:
Rachel D: "I feel like I'm drunk and I'm pouring myself more."
and
Ty: "Did you know that 'Come in' is the exact opposite of 'income'?"
and
Ty: "I found that girls have a secret language. It's called emotion."
and
Ty: "Can guys have estrogen?"
Rachel: "No."
Ty: "Then why are some guys girlier than others?"
Rachel A: "They have less testosterone."
Ty: "What if they have neither? Are they albino?"
and
Ty: "I don't want people lassoing you and chaining you to the roof."

weird dream
I'm going to re-tell the story of Amanda's dream that she had night before last. She came up from California to visit everyone at BYU. She was staying with me in my apartment because I don't have a third roommate. So when I saw her we were talking and then I told her that Tylor and I had broken up, and that I was now dating Ben Jones. I said, "Ben is the best ever! He comes up to visit me every weekend!" And I guess Ty and I were trying to stay friends because he would hang out with me and Ben all the time, but would always look at me like he was really sad. So Amanda talked to him and discovered he was now with Rachel Davison. When Amanda asked him about it, he said, "Allison- she completed me. But Rachel fills me over the top." The end.
Quotes of the Day:
Me: "I have four fingers and two thumbs."
Curtis: "Chigger. The new cool swear word."
Me: "I want to chop off my legs and grow new ones. I think that would be less painful."
Me: At Seven Peaks ice arena, surrounded by many humongous Olympic posters: "Did you know that they had the Olympics here?"
Rachel Augustus: About Tylor: "I keep thinking at some point that boy should become real, but he doesn't!"

it's been a while
I know that it's been quite a while since I've written. To make life easier, I think I'll number things that have happened.
1) I love my classes. My dance classes are way fun, and I'm getting the dances. We're working on the rumba in my Latin class, and the waltz in my standard class. I can't wait until I get my first paycheck so I can go get standard pumps! My child development class is way awesome, too. Very interesting, and I've already learned most of the stuff in my psych class from last fall. So now I can just add new info to my existing knowledge.
2) I love my job. I get to see lots of people, and have a lot to do, which is good. My last job I sat in the same room doing the same thing every day and it drove me absolutely crazy. I like having a lot of different things to do and being able to greet people, and smile, and serve them. Even if it is just their dinner.
3) I love my friends. Last Saturday night Tylor, Rachel, Rachel Jane, Heather, Alyssa, and I went to the mall and then the grocery store. We had a lot of fun! Alyssa is putting together a portfolio to apply for the art program so she was taking tons of pictures of us the whole time. She's going to pick 5 of her favorites and paint them. I hope she picks one of me. That would be really fun to see a real painting of me!
4) I met my roommate. She's pretty awesome! I don't really see her much, though. Our schedules are almost opposite so I don't see her much. And I'm hardly ever home.
5) I just found out that there's a competition in Vegas in August for ballroom. It's the Nevada Star Ball. I really really really really really really want to go compete! I could do amateur standard waltz and amateur Latin rumba, what I'm learning now. But I don't think I'm going to be able to go. First, I'd need a partner (even though Ty volunteered to take a road trip to do it. But we wouldn't have time to practice.) Second, I'd either have to fly or drive down to Vegas. Ew. It would only be a Thursday and Friday, but that would be a lot. Especially since I'm sure my dad would want to come. Or my mom. I think I'll probably have to stick to the BYU competitions. Sad. Especially since I think I'd have a pretty good shot at getting far in the competition.
6) I love spring semester.
