Almost Famous

First I must mention all the people I MISSED meeting. First are the people some of the other girls met or saw: The Queen, Prince Charles, Camilla, Bill Clinton, James MacAvoy, some news reporter, Brad and Angelina (yes Pitt/Jolie). I am NEVER in the right place at the right time!!!! Then people none of us met but could of: Julia Roberts, Zac Efron, Barack and Michelle Obama.
Now the people I met:This is Joshua Bell at the Barbican Theatre. If you don't know, he's a famous Violinist. Very good.
This is Atandwa Kani. He played Ariel in our presentation of Shakespeare's The Tempest. Yes, he is famous...sort of. He was a main character in a CW show a while back Life is Wild. THE CW! If you are on the CW, you're famous. Plus his Dad is famous but I don't know who he is (I do realize that doesn't make sense).
THIS IS FIERO!!! He plays Fiero in London's WICKED. He was amazing. His voice is amazing. and he was super sweet and real cute. His name is Oliver Tompsett.
This young man surrounded by lovely Americans is Boris. Yes there is a 99.9% chance you have no idea who he is. He is an aspiring pianist and played with the Philharmonic Orchestra and Royal Festival Hall. He was good, like Beethoven good. He played Tchaicovsky...I think.
This isn't really a famous person. It is some random guy we met on the streets of London going to a costume party as Pavarotti. He had a jar of spaghetti sauce, a pillow belly, and a mask. He was picture worthy.
What's that? You want to know if this is my new boyfriend from Windsor? No, he was too young (18). This is one of those guards you always see in movies set in London that if you touch them they whack you or something. Well... Aaron (that is his name) was having an off day so he decided to make a couple American girls very happy by letting us pose in pictures with him (oops physical contact. Don't tell the queen!) and he talked to us ( once again, don't tell! he could get fired!) We were brief because we didn't want to get him in trouble. But it was fun and he was cute and British and tall and...The End. haha

How I Met My Mother

     In order for you to fully understand my story I need to start 26 years ago in Tacoma, Washington. Born into the world was a little brown starfish with more hair than cousin It. She was cute. She was 4 pounds. She was me.      I won't go in to too much detail in order to respect my mother's privacy, but she wasn't at a place in her life where she could take care of me so I went into foster care. My birth mother came to a couple visits to see me, but shortly after, she disappeared. Two years later this awesome couple adopted me and a family was born. My parents were open with me about my adoption from Day 1. I never knew anything about my birth mother except what I could find on my birth certificate: name, birth date, etc.      Despite being happy, there was always a missing piece. I just wanted to KNOW. I wanted to know where I came from. I wanted to know what happened. I wanted to meet the person whose toes I inherited! That...

Termites and Midnights and Night Lights

Hi! It has been too long. I've been...well I could say busy but I'd be lying. Actually I've been lazy and boring and that means watching lots of episodes of F R I E N D S , eating mac and cheese for breakfast, and taking naps in the sun . No one wants to hear about that. But I did do some fun things =) 1) B I O L O G Y I decided to take Biology this summer. Now, for those who don't know, Math and Science are the names of those two little demons in Disney's Hercules movie...at least in my mind. So Biology is my LAST general core class at BYU. Most people take it their 1st semester of college and I'm taking it my senior year. I've been dreading it. Well, so far it has been surprisingly enjoyable. We read a book called Voo doo Sci ence (I know, I know) and it was really cool. Now we are reading a book about decisions and it has guys blowing up missiles and fire figh ters in action. It rocks! Don't worry, it gets better. Today we played with TERMITES ...

Just another day in Paradise...

So, a couple of us wanted to go to The National Gallery and Trafalgar Square but we took one wrong turn and ended up in a sketchy part of town. There was graffiti everywhere and it was interesting. We ended up walking past an airport and eating in a train station. Haha. It was way fun, let me tell you. The next photo and story is Cambridge! We went there on Wednesday. The picture is of Verulamium a little place we stopped where they had a cool Roman mosaic and some old things like ancient jewelry and such. So fun! That's Elizabeth, Kate and me in the picture. Cambridge didn't excite me much so there are no pictures of it. Plus, my camera battery died. But we did go to an Evensong there and it was so amazing! The last picture is THE BYU LONDON CENTRE!!! Beautiful, right? I kknow! I feel so blessed to live in this lovely place. It's right aroound the corner from Notting Hill too! ever hear dof Portobello road? It's a walk and a skip away!
