facts and confessions

I'm taking 18 credits this semester.
I should maybe be freaking out more?

I've purged of my closet and belongings.
(my annual summer yard sale has been postponed to become an even cooler yard sale with cooler people than I resulting in cooler crap to buy.  I'll let you know the when where and whats later.)
it feels so good.

I haven't experienced death.
I've been to 2 viewings, President Gordon B. Hinckley's and my High School Janitor's wife's.
I'm scared for this next decade.

I bought a couch.
Like, literally 30 minutes ago.
I think that makes me an adult.

I miss my brother and sister.
They live in NY.
I miss NY too.

Sometimes Brandon and I share a toothbrush.
cause sometimes I keep forgetting to buy new ones.
And sometimes, I don't even think it's gross.

I think my Aunt Judy and Uncle Carl are some of the best people on earth.

I might maybe kinda start a style blog.
(I refuse to call it a fashion blog)
eeeeek.

I've been vegan for a few weeks.
It would be hard except...it's not.
especially cause Brandon makes me yummy stuff like thai peanut seitan.

I want to do something drastically crazy with my hair.
like bleach it blonde.
don't tell brandon.

I believe that rain is the best of all weathers.

I've been reading poetry lately.
recommendations?

I promised Brandon I would learn the pedal steel if he let me be in his band.
!!!

I eat the same thing for breakfast every morning: wake-up-smoothie!
-1 frozen banana
-a good pour of heavy pulp non concentrate orange juice
-a hefty splash of pure carrot juice
sooooooooooo good

I can't sleep.  again.
any tips?

Brandon took these photos of me and I hadn't the slightest clue till I developed a role.
he's a snake and I love him.

Kitty: Blog Alias

"Why Kitty?"

My given name is Claire Andra Thorley

I've always la la loved my name :)

My parents did a pretty swell job at picking it.

I really feel it suits me.

But growing up I was always a bit jealous of people with nicknames.

The only one nick-name I had was "Claire Bear".

and very rarely could I be called that without this rhyme following:

Claire the Bear.

Has no hair.

She wears funny underwear.

{which is just a bunch of lies...in case you were wondering: i happened to have fine taste in panties}

At some time my mom made note that my initials spell CAT.

Claire

Andra

Thorley

Because of this, my brother started calling me "Kitty". He did this for a few solid years during highschool. it became my family's pet name for me: "kitty", "kit", "cat".

and now it serves as a blog alias of sorts.

my name is now Claire Andra Thorley White.

{claire white}

which i LOVE.

but CATW doesn't spell anything.

& CAW sounds too much like cow.

so I think I'll stick with Kitty :)

facts and confessions

I'm more confident in high-heels.

towering over everyone and taking longer strides.

I don't drink coffee.

But I just might be addicted to coffee ice cream. sinner. {i'm working on it.}

I haven't read a book for enjoyment since....I can't even remember.

My average test score is a 75%. A solid C, kids.

my final project in ceramics last semester exploded in the kiln.

My nail beds are super long.

Probably one of my favorite features.

My nails are ALWAYS painted.

Mostly cause I go nuts when they aren't clean (and when you are an art major....it's hard to keep them clean...)

I sometimes break promises.

Like that one time when I said I'd post all the ins and outs of my wedding...yah.

I'm choosy about who I sit by in Relief Society.

Kelsee or Brighton on one side. Woman with a baby on the other.

I stole a baby off a mother's lap in R.S. a few sundays back. Just swiped her. I've never spoken a word to the woman in my life except for the "thankyou" when I gave her baby back 30 min. later.

I love wearing the color red

but only in tiny bits here and there.

I once got sent to the principals office for "beating up" a boy.

he slapped my butt. he had it coming.

she doesn't know it, but I miss my best friend Kaitlyn every day.

She's probably the most quoted person in our home. her and nicholas cage (bleh)

I get jealous of freckled faces and true red heads.

i loved mermaids as a kid. I'd sit in my tub waving my head around in the water so my hair would go everywhere. my mom called it "mermaid hair". and then when my mom would put me to bed she'd tuck the covers tight around my body but loose around my feet so my mermaid flippers could move.

B told me that he was going to grow a mustache JUST for the month of november. the mustache is still here, and I hope it never leaves.
