bob dylan

as it turns out, a lot more people read my blog than i thought. so i should be careful of what i say from now on. haha. i often read letters to crushes. its nice because its [romantic] on my level. humorous and real. its just entertaining.

and i am just rambling. i have a lot and a little on my mind.
oh, and i like bob dylan.

who am i.

i am christene.
i have blonde hair and green eyes.
i am maybe the pickiest person you have met.
i also am 100% genuine, all the time.
i love myself. i have been thinking a lot lately about who i am.
its so easy to be self conscious and wish you were someone else.
but i appreciate who i am.
im a complete nerd. when people ask what i like to do, the first things that come to mind are absolutely geeky.
i like to play on my computer. watch artsy films. read biographies and informational books. i love my sewing machine. im a music nerd. i love art galleries and museums. i love talking about feelings.
i love that i can wear thrift store clothes and no makeup and sloppy hair and still think im so cool.
i really am not saying all this to brag about myself at all. no one really reads my blog [well. some do. hahaha] but really to let it out; that even though im unusual, i mean, im known for being extreme about things and loud, that i really love being me.
i dont love sports. but im good at my family art projects. im not coordinated and i hate hiking, but i am a pro at google.really i am. im smart. and im proud that i can have intelligent conversations.
letting yourself know what you love about yourself is really rad. it is almost empowering.

phones are fashion statements and my mom says thats gross

Possibly the best things that i have heard this month:
"I miss fighting over where we are going to dinner"
"Christene, you are interesting"
"Christene always entertains me on f chat."
"Ms. Finch, are you a hippie?"

thats what i aim for.


i like to appriciate the simple things in life. when you are not known as boring. when people appriciate your presence even if it is fighting over what to eat. when someone notices your tacky middle part you are trying to sport. when you can be good at talking online. thats what i like to hear. i mean, anyone can say you have nice eyes or something like that, but when they notice the things that are important to you specifically, [ not that i dont love my pretty eyes] its really cool.

you can knit a sweater by the fireplace

once i was engaged. actually it was a week and a half ago.
ive been really annoyed by people telling my that its ok because i was "too young" or that it happened "too quick." who cares.
[well them apparently....(and im almost 21 ok)]
i think the reason why im writing this right now is that ive realized lately that the best thing to do is stay out of people's business unless it is obvious that it is appropriate. i dont need you lecturing me about my mistakes. who said it was a mistake? i am learning everyday. i also want you to know that this sounded much more effective in my head with some profanities in it but i refrained from doing so. on a lighter note. thank you to people who have been understanding. it means a lot to me. [love]

i listen to pop music and i feel like a kid again

yeah.....

part one.
the lady at the doctors office, you should be fired. because all you know how to do is be a jerkface.

part two.
man in rexburg, your cranky face doesnt help. and you are bossy. and make horribe suggestions.

part three.
lady at carles jr, why were you so nice. you work in fast food. im going to get you a raise.

part four.
people at target registers that make jokes with me make my day.

part five.
lady at the rose garden: carma, you are my hero. i would buy things from you anyday. not only is your name carma, but you are the freaken sweetest lady i have ever met.

part six.
last, i want to thank dave. dave, you are super rad.

and that is my rant on customer service. mostly people in utah [and idaho, apparently] are super nice. but sometimes, i just dont get it. and so i blog. today has been a long long day.

please dont let it snow

hello!!!!!!!
Happy December.
Hallelujah, the year is almost over.
2008 was not so great.
2009, i hope your fine.
merry christmas, as well.
my goal is to reallly achieve the true meaning of christmas this year. ive noticed that as much as i think that i have it, i can always have it more. and thats what im searching for.
im really looking forward to times to come.
im really looking forward to making new years resolutions i wont keep.
im really looking forward to getting smarter,
reading a lot of books,
learning to love everyone,
polishing up skills,
becoming a more organized person,
remembering important things,
and maybe my blogs will stop being so listy and make sense.
i want womanizer to stop being stuck in my head.
i want to learn all the words to all my favorite songs.
oh, and new president.
i have faith in him.
i hope.
lincoln almost executed all the sioux indians.

im a sioux indian.

thats all.

oh
