Some things I've been thinking, also BIG NEWS

When I see pictures of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez out and about, I can't help but think, "Where are their parents?" I mean, I had a boyfriend when I was 17 too, but we didn't go to Oscar after parties. What happens at the end of an evening like that when you're that young? I don't REALLY want to know, it just made me think. Because when I was that age, at the end of a date I got dropped off at my house, and the other part of the date went to his house. But when you're a jet-setting superstar who is under 18, how does that all work? And like, really, where is his mom? Is she along for these trips? Or is she just hanging out in Ontario, being like, "His new hair is cute, eh?" I want to know.

The tomato basil soup from Zupas is so delectable. I just really really love that stuff. I had it for lunch the other day, and also today. (Leftovers. Not a repeat trip.) (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) And MAN that stuff is good. I looked up a recipe online for a copycat and I'm going to make it, but I'm pre-disappointed in it. What a downer, I know, but have you ever made a copycat restaurant recipe, and then said, "This tastes EXACTLY like it!"? No. You haven't.

Chris and I both agree that if Brad doesn't choose Emily (this would be about the Bachelor, in case you're classy and don't watch that show), then he is an idiot. Have you seen that girl? I would propose to her, she's so adorable. Seriously. She is definitely the prettiest girl on the show. Also, Michelle was so crazy, but now that she's gone I really miss her antics and her awesome comments. Like how she doesn't see Brad and Britt even friending each other on Facebook, let alone being married. Gold. She is the best.

I'm sick of having a private blog. I want people to stumble across this blog the way I do to others. Or to make my Facebook status my latest blog post like other people do, and have all my friends be able to click on it. But here's the thing. This blog has my full name on it, and also the city I live in. Which, big deal. I always thought that too. But once upon a time I got a handful of super mean, nasty comments from an anonymous person. And once they said something that made me think they might live in Provo too. And here's the deal. I wouldn't be that hard to find. So if mean guy wanted to turn into crazy guy who is a stalker guy--he could find me. And that freaked me right out. Still sort of does, but not as much. But that's when I made my blog private a year and a half ago or whenever that was.

The point is, I made a new blog. The URL is erinqtan.blogspot.com. It is this same exact blog, I've copied everything over. I'm going to start using only that one and delete this one sometime in the next couple of weeks. So, this is a really long way of saying, if you want to keep on reading this here thing, you should change your link for my blog to erinqtan.blogspot.com. Also, I'm going to try and never use my last name on my new blog. I know, I know, I sound super conspiracy theory ish. But stranger things have happened, you know?

So yeah. New blog. Kind of. Same blog. New URL. So basically nothing new. Except unprivatized status. So it's pretty different, actually. Ok cool.

dis.

a.

point.

ed.

that is all I have to say to you and your BIG NEWS title. You KNOW what tha tmakes people think and you KNOW that's the only way you will get everyone to read this post and know about your blog moving, but still! Cruel, Erin, really really cruel. thanks for the anti-climatic big news. boo.

and cool for the new URL. I will add it to my list. I can do that now, right?

ps- the wrod verification is: ingingu. say it out loud. it's funny.

Ki, the more I think about it, though, the more I DON'T want him to choose Emily. Because here's the thing. I genuinely like her and think she is so cute. So why would I want her to "find love" on the BACHELOR? Those relationships never work out! So what I really want is for him to choose Chantal, and for Emily to go home and not be the Bachelorette, but just find a nice guy on her own. It can't be that hard, look at her.

Becca, I'm sorry. I can't help it. You are exactly right though, it's totally a ploy to get everyone to read all the way to the bottom. Sorry dude. But I like to trick people into reading my blog. It's the best way.

alright, i'll change my link to your new blog. but i might reveal your last name and address on it just out of pure anger.






kidding.

I totally agree with the Beaver and Goober thing. What DOES a supper celebrity teen couple do on a date??? Inquiring minds want to know!

P.s. I too got sick of the private blog. But since Juile and Hansen are both pretty common names, I wasn't too uber sensitive about keeping the last name a hush. Although I totally get where you're coming from. Maybe someday when I get stalked by some weirdo I'll change my mind and go private... again.

I love your blog! I completely agree about Emily, but she is almost too sweet for him. She says things like "Oh my goodness" over and over. Also, I do miss Michelle too even though I hated her when she was there! If you haven't seen this yet, you really need to watch the trailer to this movie! http://www.midwaytoheavenmovie.com/

Sorry for my rambling post!

and here i am. the person that can now stumble across your blog. funny, because i stumbled across it over a year and a half ago when it wasn't private, and then i just thought i was an ignorant person for never looking at again but really you were the one who stole it away from me. and now we are here again. i found your blog in the coolest of ways. i reconnected with my sophomore roommate, (thank you facebook. i know. so cliche. but at least i don't watch the bachelor.) anyway, and she mentioned her cool friend and i clicked on her, and she had you on her list. and i recognized the title, "we got married so now we have a blog," and i was excited it was you and i have really loved reading all your posts and you actually would get along really well with my sophomore roommate.

and i suppose it's too late to tell you that you can change the url of your blog without making a whole new blog and copying it over.

and yeah right sondra was not rambling at all... THIS is rambling.

anyway. it would be cool to see you when i come back to utah. i wish i'd be there for casidy's wedding. that would be a good reunion. but i'm coming in may.

enjoy my utah for me.

sincerely,
olivia
