two things a girl needs in a relationship:
first: a boyfriend. (duh).
second: a perfect pair of puppy dog eyes..works every time.
Tuesday
Sunday
yep yep yep
so this friday was definitely the 'land before time' marathon..all in all there was a decent turnout, although im sure the people showed up solely for the two giant bags of dino-sours and not the competition. jonny and i stayed for about the first five movies before we got bored, seriously second guessed our involvement in the marathon and peaced. it was kinda fun though, definitely brought back tons of memories. and the movies werent even that bad! yeah, they were dumb but overall they were entertaining..obviously not entertaining enough to watch all thirteen though. the winner cleaned up with $90, which isnt too bad for putting up with 15 hours of childish sub plots and frequent musical numbers.
this weekend interesting one. highlights?
1. leaving the 'LBT' marathon..dodged a serious bullet with that one man.
2. mailing off my dental hygiene applications! i finally shipped 'em off to texas state technical college in harlingen. express post to texas costs a pretty penny, for all those who are considering to do so. but they should be there by the end of the week and i'll know if i'm accepted by the end of march! so exciting :)
3. getting a new fridge. the last one would stay cold for a week, then heat up to room temperature and all my food would go bad :( so i called the landlord on monday and voila! on saturday we have a brand spankin' new-to-us fridge! hopefully my milk wont go bad after three days in this one.
you know when you just feel lonely when you dont really have a reason to? thats kinda how i feel. i have an amazing bf and lots of friends, but sometimes it feels like nobody really cares too much, kinda like nobody really wants to hear or wants to care about what i have to say. i know that i have so many people who are on team becky and cheering me on and ready to support me, but sometimes i feel like i dont have anybody to tell my feelings to (except jonny. he's pretty amazing and puts up with me haha). maybe i just miss having girl talk with my high school friends? i dont know, but i know that i dont like feeling this way :(

Thursday
thats what she said.
my new addictions? the office season two and glee. i'm new at the whole "the office" thing. i watched an occasional episode now and then but this is my first exposure to an entire season. michael scott's 'thats what she said' jokes make my life, simply because im addicted to those jokes too haha.
we've only known each other for a short time, but im pretty sure jim and i are soul mates. dont get me wrong, i love pam..but jim needs to be with me. i dont think he's realized this yet, but he will. i had a dream about him last night haha. i was a college student and he was a prof and we had a secret teacher-student love affair. yes, i did make out with jim from the office.. :) sure, it was a little weird that he was forty years old, double my young age of nineteen..by the end of the dream he had stopped pursuing the development of our relationship because of this. sad, sad day. dont you ever wish that dreams could be real life?
if things dont work out with jim, i'd be completely satisfied with will schuester.
jonny bet that i couldnt not swear for a month and i challenged him on that assumption. cause we all know what assuming makes you, right? if i went the whole month without swearing, jon owed me dinner at a restuarant of my choice and a back rub. if i did swear, the roles were reversed.
on the thirtieth of january, jonny and i dined at earls. i've yet to claim my backrub.
what have i learned from that experience? that i'm tempted to swear a lot. especially if the game of basketball is involved hahaha. because i accomplished that challenge, i decided to go without facebook for a week, just because i can. i'm on day 4 and its a lot harder than i anticipated; i have nothing to do on the computer any more, i've barely been on here all week haha.
this weekend is alaya's prestigious "land before time" marathon. all 13 movies plus a sing along, with a money prize for whoever suffers through it without falling asleep. oh yeah. it starts friday at eight and goes till about four on saturday, the night of my friend's nineteenth birthday celebration. this is gonna be sweet, especially cause im an angel when i get zero sleep..i feel bad for everyone who has to put up with me, especially jonny. he's been pretty good about my grouchiness before, so i know he can handle it. what a keeper!
peace out homies, im pretty sure imma be late for class..ah well.

its not always rainbows and butterflies
shout out to all maroon 5 fanatics, holla!
lol.
recap this week:
tuesday night i played my first intramurals basketball game. my team name? yao jason. you know, like yao ming? yeah, didnt get it the first time either. theres only three other girls on my team, which can only mean one thing: there is an over abundance of testosterone on the court at any given moment in time. Its interesting how men are unable to have a chill, for-fun game of basketball. i think they always feel the need to prove their manlihood..maybe they need to compensate for something?
i think all men secretly believe that they're basketball stars and therefore don't have to adhere to the "no 'i' in team" theory..or the "work the ball around the court before jacking up a shot" one. i had to make a stand against this. i may or may not have fouled every man that drove into the key.
they can handle it, right?
my summary of the night:
number of outrageous layups that had no chance of being made: 337
humber of times a girl was open on the wing: 337
number of passes made to the girl: 6
playing coed intramurals: priceless.
the other night jonny and i got together with kels and her friend riley to play star wars monopoly. from that experience i've learned a thing or two:
first: i am not very good at estimating the value of an investment. i mean i've kinda known that about myself already, but this experience reinforced it. this being said, i can determine if the price of, say, a pair of jeans is appropriate or not. obviously im not much of a math/finances person once im out of my element. example: when im grocery shopping and i see a bundle of asparagus for $3.29, im not capable of determining if thats expensive or not..so i buy it anyways. back to the game. my strategy is basically to buy whatever my little heart desires, which is my philsophy in life anyways, dont tell mom! haha joking. but seriously. good thing i have friends like kelsey to tell me when im making a bad investment and who's willing to team up with me so we wouldnt get taken out by mr. monopoly himself, riley.
despite what jonny says about his skills at this game he was the first out. hmmm.
second: that game goes on for far, faaaaaar too long.
i've been looking into texas state technical college for school next year and it sounds pretty promising! i wrote the TEAS exam today and did surprisingly well, considering my lack of preparation and the completion of the exam in less than half the allotted time. not bad at all.
jonny and i rented the first season of the office which i am currently watching. the basketball episode to be exact.
quote of the day: "who am i: michael scott? i might just be a basketball star."
as good as this day has been, it is tinged with melancholy notes of destruction and denim: my silver jeans ripped in an irrepreable place. RIP miracle jeans :(
lol. no pun intended.
lol.

Monday
yup
hey hey
i love this blogging stuff! i really hafta moderate myself, all day today and yesterday i was so anxious about getting back on here and writing my little heart out..i managed to show some self restraint, so kudos to me.
yesterday my mama, kelsey, her mama and myself stuffed our tall selves into kelsey's altima and went to calgary for a shopping day! woohoo! yay for birthday money from my boss, you da man paul.
the first part of the day was slow purchase wise. unfortunately i have this complex type thing..if i don't make a lot of purchases early in the shopping experience, i get desperate and buy overly-priced items without thinking twice. whoops. i did manage to buy some new sunday clothes and bras and a cute wallet! which is probably my favorite purchase cause my old one got ran over :( rip cute red snakeskin wallet. i bought one fairly similar..its a pinkish red snakeskin guess beauty :)
my weakness? sephora. i spent far too long in there looking for the perfect concealer..and blush..and eye shadow. luckily i settled for a $23 dollar shadow..i'll use it tons, i swear!
my most useless purchase? probably a pair of purple running shorts a size too small from old navy..i got too desperate and too impatient to try them on..might as well have flushed that fifteen bucks down the toilet.
today was the sabbath! i was only six minutes late for church today, hooray for improvement. after the meetings, jonny and i made chicken breast, scalloped potatoes and asparagus for dinner, oh so healthy! only to be followed by countless handfuls of m&m's and a bowl of ice cream. whoops.
ps- jonny likes to cook..major plus.
this meal was followed by an exorbitant waste of brain cells and time as we watched so you think you can dance and the island (the waste of time comment is really an empty one, i quite enjoy both of those shows).
we trekked over to my work buddy alaya's house to play games with other young single adults. when we got there they were playing curses, which unfortunately died down soon after we got there. funny funny game.
anywho. i hafta work in the morning :( sick day tomorrow? i'm feelin it.
pps-i just listened to the worst song ever..dmx rapping on phil collin's "i can feel it"..who put that on my ipod?

Thursday
well, here goes
so this is my first post in a while..my thought process is this: maybe if i started blogging again it would motivate me to write in my journal, which has also suffered since i have moved out.
thats right folks, i've moved out. welcome to the real world, becky sparks.
i've had my ups and downs, thats for sure! things are smooth sailing right now :)
over the last little while some things have changed in my life:
1. the boyfriend and i are no more. you know when you get to the point in a relationship when things are too serious? when you feel kinda trapped and all this pressure to stay with the person when youre definitely not ready for that kind of commitment? yep. He was a lot more serious about me than i was about him..plus our standards weren't necessarily similar..at all. the break up was so hard at the time. then one morning i woke up and realized that i didn't care about the drama anymore..its the best feeling when you wake up and realize that youre so over him :)
2. i have a new boyfriend :) he's fantastic. he treats me like a princess haha, im so so spoiled! when we first met we became insta-friends and spent all of our time together..things havent changed much. i really love to be with him, he's funny and athletic and super super thoughtful. example: the other day i was heading to school and forgot my backpack at my place, so i called him and asked him to drop it off at the college. later that day, after getting my bag, i look in the pocket and saw my ipod and earphones..they weren't there before. so obviously jonny thought to put them in there for me..without my asking. so so sweet :)
3. thirdly..i love basketball again. last season was the most challenging thing i've encountered thus far, it kinda made me question my love for the game. it was the best of times. it was the worst of times. to quote mister dickens. i didn't touch a basketball till three weeks ago..a bunch of friends got together to scrim and i realized how much i missed it..so im in a bball class at school and coaching and playing on an intramural team..i love it so much.
thats just a few things that are new..i promise to keep y'all updated. cause i'm sure there are SO many people reading this lol. its kinda therapeutic in a way.

Friday
too easy.
these past few weeks have been eventful, to say the least! winning basketball provs, road tripping it to red deer and going to bed at eight the morning only to get up at ten to pack certainly take their toll. this season was my last as to have the opportunity to wear the comet jersey. it was probably the most emotionally and physically draining four months of my life, but every second was worth it.
next on the agenda: rugby :)
