EFY and my LOVE for it.

I, Julia Jones, am finally doing a new post. It is concerning the matter of EFY. Yes I am a nerd and i love EFY. I have gone for three years in a row. Usually i have a contest with myself to see how long i can leave my wrist band on. This year I took it off after one day. Probably cause it was this hideous color... WRISTBAND . Unfortunately, Emily doesn't have to ban me from a social life until i take it off. EX. Last Summer. Here are some pictures of me and some of my friends from EFY 2008.

Libby, Myself, and Lexi being awesome.

Devin, Kayla, Lexi, Libby, Me, and a fraction of Courtney and Brandon. We had to bribe a 14 year old into taking this picture and this is what we got.

Me and Lexi being mega fly.

Me, Reagan, and Libby.

Libby, Myself and the girls in our group. Yes i am in fact wearing a granny suit.

Aubrey, Audrey, Libby, and Me at the out of controllably well lit dancing atmosphere. Lets just say they didn't have to worry about any "freak dancing". Especially cause it was sound tracked by my dear friend Hannah Montana basically the whole time.

My whole entire company.
Now for the next installment of this adventure entitled Julia and her boys... First boys in my group. Then my Mesa boys.

GROUP BOYS:
GOOB wearing my granny glasses. Apparently i dress like I'm 72... Granny running suit + sun glasses = I'm dress like I'm ancient.
A series of awkward engagement picture look alikes and some even awkwarder prom poses...

Me and Austin.

Me and Riley.Me and Riley again.

Me and Rusty. He was from New Mexico and somehow had a southern accent. His favorite thing to say in his country styled twang was: i don't have a southern accent. It was entertaining beyond.

Me and Keith. I look uncomfortable in this picture... probably cause i was to an extreme power.
Me and Jake being super hardcore.
Me and my bitty councilor named Sam. He was from Cambodia. P.S. I'm wearing flats in this picture.

MESA BOYS:

Devin, Me, and Blake being babes.

Logan, Me and Tanner being particularly pretty.

My love named Michael from Orange County. Sad day when I learned of this information.
I apologize for not being very witty. I'm a tad bit tired. Sorry I'm a lame face. i also apologize for this post be extraordinarily long and obnoxiously boring. But i love EFY. Please do not judge me for that statement. My loving for EFY is for various reasons. Most importantly the whole approximately 114 hours you are there the spirit is there. It's uber fun. You get to talk to loads of people although they may be strange. And you get to work the boy scene. In conclusion EFY is one of my favorite parts of summer. In the words of Angela Celest Jones "I'm a geek..."

My newest best friend.

May I introduce you to my new best friend? I know I've had a lot of best friends, but this one is the COOLEST! Cha cha. So it is like google text but it is real people answering your questions. And it only costs the price of a text. I was sitting in anatomy summer school killing myself (note: if you want your summer to last REALLY LONG, take summer school. June has been the never ending month) and we were discussing what the logo for Circle K was. And a girl in my class texted cha cha and found out the answer. Circle K= a way to remember how the potassium-sodium pump in your body works.

Anyways, here are some questions I have asked and got answers to:
-Who would win in a fight. Batman or Superman? Answer: Superman. He is much stronger than Batman and would win hands down.
-What movie made the most money this last weekend? Answer: Get Smart with $39 million
-Who is the better band - Radiohead or Muse? Answer: While Radiohead revolutionized music, Muse does a really good job at what they do, thus Radiohead is the better band.
-How long does nail polish last until it gets all gloppy and stringy? Answer: One to two years, however if your nail polish is getting stringy, throw it away.
-Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? Answer: With Waldo.
-What major movies come out this weekend? Answer: Wall-e and Wanted with Angelia Jolia.

Seriously, this is the best thing ever! And you can work for them too!!!

Sad

So, for Julia's birthday, one of her friends gave her the best present ever. He wrote down all the asinine questions that were asked in seminary for the whole year. The person's name has been withdrawn to protect him/her from endless ridicule and torment. Here are some gem-lets from the list.

We give you: Questions Overheard in Class at Mesa High Seminary

1. Do chickens have lips?
2. Has Armageddon already happened?
3. Is it bad to love Satan?
4. Do sister missionaries in France have to stop shaving their armpits?
5. Why are babies born naked?

My goal as a blogger: to be as funny as these people. Sometimes they are a little offensive, but most of the time it is pure genius. Note: in order to appreciate it, you must either a. read People magazine frequently and be up on the celebrity gossip and b. see lots of summer blockbuster movies.

State fair here we come!

So it is CLEAR from these pictures that Delia is half Jones. Because she knows what is the most important part of the corn dog.

Notice only one bite from the top was eaten and then she went straight for the stick crunchy goodness. Excellent job, picky. The only reason it was not smothered in ketchup was because we were going to the quilt fabric store aka children hating store.

So I know you are all saying, "Emily, aren't you in psycho summer school and shouldn't be reading millions of books?" Yes, I know. But don't start this one unless you have time to finish it. It was pretty dang good (except for the ending - wrapped it up with a bow a little too much). But it was James Patterson style - short chapters, draws you in, etc. Warning: would get a PG-13 rating.

Don't hate.

Okay, people, I know I am going to get a lot of flack from saying this (especially from the Mel Jones couzies). But Julia and I both read These Is My Words this week (aka I was 3/4 of the way through and Julia stole it from me). And we give the book a thumbs medium to thumbs down. Now just to back up our opinions, some things you should know about Julia and I:

1. We inherited our book reading obsession from the Sandra.
2. We will read truly anything. Back of the toothpaste box, comics, pure shiz.
3. We are not book snobs. Books we have read that we may be ashamed of reading: The Tale of Emily Windsnap, many Babysitters Club books, mormon soap opera books, the list goes on.

Therefore, we feel that our 2.25 star rating of These Is My Words is appropriate. Reasons it was not the best:
1. WAY too many coincidental run-ins. Didn't this book happen in the humongous AZ territories??? And they didn't have cars, therefore they must have magically ran into some of the same people (Jack Elliott) all the time somehow.
2. Emily read the last page which gave away the ending. Then she didn't want to read it anymore.
3. Both Julia and I agree after Sarah and Jack get married, boredsville.

However, will we read at least one of the sequels? Most likely yes.

I know, I know. My Breaking Dawn countdown is really, really amazing. I will share I supposed. My amazing friend Sarah sent it to me. Loves it.

p.s. One sentence cd review: Death Cab for Cutie, Narrow Stairs. If I wanted to listen to something instrumental, I'd listen to Yanni.

-Emily

Bored.

Since all my entertainment is at Girls Camp, I will discuss the daddy/daughter date Reidster and I had yesterday at the 10 am movies. To copy Erica, I will give a one sentence movie review:

Stupid stupid stupid movie but Shia LaBeouf is underage hot. (Underage meaning too young for me.)

The End.

Happy Birthday Bubs!

So today our little Julia has become a 16 year old. Yes, I remember 16 years ago today that she was born and we were so excited. We would post some ancient photos of Julia, but she lost her/our camera, so all her fault. This is very old woman of me, but it is so weird to think that Julia, who I shared a room and bed with for several years is getting all grown up. Tear. Whenever she complains about sharing a room with Annie, I remind her who I shared a room with. And then she shuts up. I give you 16 amazing/random things about Julia:

1. She has the most nicknames in our house. Bubs, Bubzies, Jude, Hebrewlia, Julia Gulia, Yaya, Judapest, the list goes on.
2. She has always had crazy curly hair. Yes, when her hair is all sleeky straight, you would never think that. But catch her on a rainy/humid day and you will see her true self.
3. If Julia could be anything, she would be a cat. When she was little, she would suck on their ears. And even now, when our cats were having babies, she was being the cat midwife. Seriously. 4. When she was a baby, she looked like the "not the mama" baby dinosaur.
5. She is always super nice to Annie and others. She never starts fights or is the contention causer at our house.
6. She will always go with you wherever you are going. Going to west Phoenix and need someone to go so you can go in the carpool lane? Julia's your girl.
7. She is OBSESSED with babies. After taking her to see Juno(aren't I the best mom ever?), though, she decided to keep 3 feet away from all boys. No being up the spout for bubs.
8. She is slowly becoming my clone. I told her that she had 3 choices of colleges to go to - BYU, BYU Hawaii, or BYU Idaho. That's it. I wanted to go to Native for her birthday dinner and didn't say anything. Where did she pick? Native. My mind control is working. Hopefully someday we will be as cool as these people and will only have to say single words and the other person will understand.
9. Julia HATES scrapbooking. When I tell people at my work that I have 4 sisters, they are always so confused. Because they have never seen her. But if you are in a rut, she can totally fix it all around for you. Amazing.
10. So most people don't think that Julia looks like us. That is because our next door cousin Jenny is truly her long lost twin. Precious! 11. She is the "hidden skills" sister. She doesn't act hardcore about anything, but then randomly she does an english project and it's amazing. Or randomly does your hair for you and it turns out professional.
12. She is currently on phone # 235,849. She breaks phones faster than even Delia. But she has really strong thumb muscles from the 3,000 texts she does monthly.
13. If you have the game Animal Crossing, she might be your new best friend. But don't tell anyone, it is her secret shame.
14. She is the best accesorizer or outfit putter-togetherer person ever. Or as I call it "Pick my decorations for me."
15. She is WAY more out of the comfort zone than us in high school. Definitely ranks higher on the cool factor. What did she do for her birthday? Had a huge party in our backyard with her friends. And had loud music (sorry neighbors). And you had to dress up 80's. And then she cleaned it all up.
16. When she goes shopping, she loves to touch everything in the store. And then she has to look at it all again and give a final decision.

Happy birthday Bubs! We heart you!!!
