hiiiiiiiii. lol...... HI FRIENDS. i'm back in provo. and diggin it. since i've been "home" i've, sprained my neck, had a brief affair with a hot nurse, been drugged, got salmonella from a tomato, obsessed over afton, and ate everything i saw because my stomach feels perpetually hungry. anyway, it's sooooooooo good to be back. i'm totally in love with you, happy valley.

Just like heaven

I am completely inspired by my little brother. I just found these pieces of literary genius on the desktop.

I am Patrick Barringer

On weekends I like to stay up all night long.

If I had twenty-four hours to live I would rob an ice cream store.

If I had my own car and a driver’s license, I would drive across the country.

I feel best when people give me compliments.

If I had a million dollars I would open up ice cream stores across the globe.

My children will never be put in jail

I think my parents did a good job taking care of me when I was a baby.

I am best at making paper airplanes.

My favorite place is my home.

I have accomplished getting first place in a laser quest game.

Where I’m From

By Patrick Barringer

I am from pencil from Papermate and pens.

I am from the red brick home on the corner of the street.

I am from the trees and the green leaves falling

I am from passing down the choose the right ring and blonde hair from Bridget and Neil and Ryan

I am from the five kids and the teenage fights

From Santa is coming tonight and the Easter bunny came!

I am from Good Sam and ice cream and pizza

From the military time the navy ships and the blue eyes passed down

I am from the shelf in the middle of the long hallway

The pictures showing my family time from time

summer oh eight

So i've been perplexed on where to live this summer for some time now. I'm debating between slc, provo, and home aka saratoga, ca. They all have their pros and cons, which i will remind myself and you of right now.

SLC--

Pros: finishing what i started, 2-3 jobs, one being at a hotel so i could get experience doing something other than serving, potentially live with my aunt and therefore pay no rent, live with krystle, love her. wootah.

Cons: i have hated my life since i moved here 3 months ago, HOT weather, no friends, potentially pay 400 in rent.

PROVO--

Pros: loved my life there, loved red robin.. could possibly go back? cheaper rent.. 200ish. mormonland. friends. home.

Cons: giving up? it might not be the same as when i left, red robin might not take me back, what if i get sick of serving, hot weather.

HOME--

Pros: WEATHER, beach, lisa, bridget, patrick, ELLIOT (baby nephew), cats, free rent, make and save lots of moneyz at any job i want, get away from utah for a bit.

Cons: stagnant, rough church life, regressing, etc

So i took a survey of where everyone thinks and these were my results:

Hannah- Home

Ian Shepley- Provo

Jason Nau- Follow my heart

Ian Ansberg- Where i'll be happy

Ariel- Provo

Ben Fisher- Provo

Jordan- Provo or home (wherever i'll be happy)

Amanda- Provo

Ali- Provo

Jeffrey- Home

Kelly- Home

Mason- Provo

Jared- Home and he'll go with me.

How interesting that everyone pretty much thinks where THEY are is the ideal place to be. sigh. At least everyone pretty much agrees that salt lake would be a bust. If you haven't voted, cast your vote asap, thx.

Festival of Colors

good fun but, damn you hare krishna! i'm still trying to get pink out of my hair.

best thing ever

found this in a friend of a friends blog.. freaking awesome:



about an hour ago i had a disturbing phone call from my mother. the bad news rang through my ears like an alarm clock with a bad hangover. the LDS church's prophet and President has passed away. 2 years ago i remember joking with my mother about him not being dead yet. being a non-mormon, i however was still raised in the church and know that this man was a great person. kind, loving and extremely fucking cute. well, he's in heaven now ordering countless appletinis with former playboy bunny of the year's. we miss you and love you ver much.

wake up, little sushi

Guess WHAT! i am sitting at my kitchen table. I FINALLY HAVE INTERNET AT MY APT! marissa saw some guy outside while fighting for the cafes under us internet connection, and he offered to tell us the password for his apt's internet. so dope. so how about an update?
-i have a job. i work at the rio grade cafe, right across the street from my house in the old train station. it's pretty alright.. i'm not making much money yet but that's prob cause i still suck. also, there's only a couple people my age and no one is lds, but nonetheless most everyone seems pretty cool.
-by the way schools going, i'm looking forward to two A's and 2 D's, whoops
-i applied to the U, i should get in. if i don't... word up uvu
-i'm looking for a place to live for fall and possibly summer. i want to live in a house in sugar house along with krystle and hopefully marissa come winter. keep your eyes peeled for me?
-i saw the squirrel nut zippers in vegas. but not only did i see them, i kicked it with them. i conversed with them. will (the bass/keyboard player) is helping james become famous and his potential gf katherine whalen, is the nicest lady i have ever met. they invited us to their house in chapel hill, north carolina, and katherine informed me "we could cook, garden, or whatever i like to do." what a freaking peach.
-i still love marissa.
-my hair is blonde. well, white to be more exact.
-i plan to do my laundry today for the second time since i've lived in this apartment. i'm also going to start working out so as to fit back into my clothing.
-it's warm!!!! summers coming!!!!!!!!!!
-life is pretty much gettin there.
