It's not a hickey.

This weekend Hector and I went to a wedding reception for one of his friends. I decided to curl my lifeless hair before going out--a seemingly good idea. But of course Hector had his sassy hat (as Kristin would say) on that evening and I just had to retaliate, even though I was still curling. So, I picked the nearest un-blunt object, a towel, and decided to "lightly" toss it in his general direction. Unfortunately, as I turned my head/body the end of my curling iron (which was not wrapped in my hair) made contact with my neck and seared my skin. A white blister surrounded by red, irritated skin immediately emerged and so did the pain. Luckily, I have long hair and it covers most of my neck area, so the blister was not visible.



But I had to go to work on Monday and had no desire to do my hair. I resorted to wearing it up which left the wound exposed. At this point the wound no longer looked like a blister but a gigantic hickey. All day I kept getting this strange stare from people in the direction of the left side of my neck. I kept finding myself explaining my curling mishap to avoid impending judgments about my personal life. I don't think many believed my story.

J. Liening

Kristin and I are sitting here at work and there is presence missing. That presence belongs to Jessica Liening who (for some reason) just had to go home to Chattanooga for Christmas to see her family. Pish Posh. Jessica this is just to a shout out to let you know how much we miss you! Heyyy gurrrlll! IS just isn't the same without you. We're even sitting next to the station titled Customer Service Desk Student Assisstant in honor of you. Maybe you could come back like next semester and join us again. That'd be real cool. Okay girl. BYE.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Twinners

Okay, so over the past 2.5 years I have noticed something on BYU campus. That many people I know (some who attend BYU and some who don't) have an ugly twin on campus. Sounds strange but it is 100% true. Also, many have an opposite sex twin. It's uncanny.

I haven't found my ugly twin yet. Oh no, maybe I'm the ugly twin. Ha, no way. Not possible.
