"hope you're listening carefully and know exactly what I mean"
I know you've all been waiting for this...
Any and all who read this, feel free to post, and I'll reply (even if you want to do it anonymously and add your name at the bottom)... and also, feel free to tell your friends or others, so they can post if they'd like. Open, honest, and PUBLIC information can solve a lot of problems, I think.
1. Reply to this post, because I would like to say a few words about you.
2. I will also tell you what song(s) reminds me of you when I hear it.
3. I will also tell you what celebrity/public (or fictional) person you remind me of, either personality-wise or looks-wise.
4. I will also give ONE WORD that I associate with you when I think of you.
5. We all could use a boost now and then, so steal this for your journal and make someone else's day as well.
Commence with the fun!

Ummm.....Justin
oh boy ---wha ---wow---reality tv-----hmmmm-----Harkness meets Phoenix Toomoons
For Justin-
1. I’ve never really met you, but I’ve heard your voice, and your picture is plastered all over my room (not due to my own obsession, sadly, but due to the fact that you’re my roommate’s brother). I hope you've taken my instructions to being difficult to heart; younger siblings everywhere need to listen to me. You’re a cool kid, and I hope it doesn’t bug you that I don’t call you by your real name. You’re coming to BYU when you graduate, right? Right??
2. Linkin Park; Cake, “It’s Coming Down”
3. I think you look like Ben Foster; the Blair Witch reminds me of you because of that picture; an older version of the mischievous little brother from “Stepmom.”
4. Impish
For Baltazar-
1. I feel somehow responsible for your corruption in the world of Instant Messaging. Not that that’s a bad thing. I assure you, many people IM their friends, not just teenage girls in the library. Your conversations always amuse and enlighten me, and I’m startled at how very many things you know and how much you’ve seen. You’re the voice of experience in my life, and you don’t forget to include me when Spielberg asks you to write a script for him.
2. Good Charlotte, “East Coast Anthem”; Nural, “Live and Learn”
3. Gandalf
4. Knowledgeable
Okay, okay, if I must...
I'm not first but that really doesn't bother me.
Elizabeth. Go for it. I'm excited.
— JF
I'm scared. (Please don't say Cameron Fry! Please don't say Cameron Fry! Please don't say Cameron Fry!)
For Aaron-
1. Someone once confided to me that you’re the funniest guy in our ward, and it is so true. I go around preaching the Gospel of Aaron’s Superior Wit, but there are so few converts. You’re a hidden treasure. And six-hour road trips fly by in less than a second when you’re driving. I love seeing you on campus, it never fails to bring a smile to my face, and I’m really envious of your classical education. You’re invited to the agora, if you promise to speak Greek.
2. Anything by Metallica (“I’ll get you yet, Metallica!!). Or by Yellowcard. Something Corporate, “Hurricane”; Simple Plan, “I’m Just a Kid”; Flogging Molly, “Drunken Lullabies”
3. Joel Hilton. (Kidding. I’m seriously kidding.) Steve Carrell
4. Hilarious
For Sam-
1. If people wonder why I love my blog so much, all I have to do is point out the fact that I met you through blogging. And while, yeah, we’re in the same ward and would’ve met eventually, I got to know you far batter and far faster, and I wouldn’t want to exchange this awesome friendship for anything else. You’re a terrific hostess and you’re so considerate and careful of others. You really are my hero, especially with that superpower of never sleeping and your new, sexy voice. I can’t wait for you to do PR for someone incredibly famous and hook us up with sweet stuff. !3 wouldn’t be the same without you, and I wouldn’t like the Kings if not for you. And you make awesome rap mixes.
2. Anything by Snow Patrol, Plain White T’s, and Nas; Tori Amos, “Girl”; Stereo Fuse “Superhero”; Sugarcult, “Memory”; The Verve Pipe, “Freshmen”; that Endochine that refuses to send
3. Sandra Bullock
4. Impervious
Nick
1. Boo to you too. I’m just glad you’re alive. I need your number so I can at least call you every time you disappear. How do I not have a better way of contacting my Favorite Person Ever? You need to come out to visit and bring your hat that I like to wear. Sideways. I got into a discussion of “The Ring 2” the other day, and of course I thought of you and how your chest is the perfect place to hide my face in when I’m a huge wimp and get scared at movies. Not that you didn’t jump too when she crawled out of the television. And rolling down the hill at Rock Canyon Park and looking at stars through saltine crackers and being dumb freshmen. And the incredible way you have with words; your poetry blows me away. And I love how excited you get over your photoshopesque program (I don’t even know what it really is). You should definitely go to Italy and then become a graphic artist. And send me lots of pictures, because your photography is amazing too. Whatever happened to that Not With February thing? Which brings me to Nick Quotes. “Don’t panic, picnic. (Pick Nick.)” I DO pick Nick. You’ll be my one once-premie, now Returned and Boring missionary friend.
2. Holy fricative, this is gonna be a long list. For starters, I listen to Copeland every night as I fall asleep. I can’t fall asleep without it. There’s Mae, This Providence, The Early November (Ace Enders’ guitar pick!!!), I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody’s Business, Straylight Run, Mates of State, Cary Judd, Dashboard Confessional, Death Cab for Cutie, Rilo Kiley, Sigur Ros, The Spill Canvas, Remember Maine, Halifax… yeah, you’ve never once recommended anything to me that I didn’t like. You keep me cool by browsing those punk websites that frighten me. Oh, and Pure Volume and Driven Far Off. And e-cards. Yellowcard, “October Nights”; This Providence, “Uncertain Words in Uncertain Times”; Nickel Creek, “When You Come Back Down”; Lit “Needle and Thread”
3. You ARE a famous person, wearing that cool shirt in that cool BYU movie. And Mario.
4. Gross (the way you say it); sweetness
For Rachael-
1. Someone once sent me a card that reads, “A friend is someone who will bail you out of jail, but your best friend is the one sitting next to you saying, ‘that was f---ing awesome.’” I think Socrates must’ve written that card, for truer words ne’er were spoken. Sweet summer just wouldn’t be sweet without you, and I would never get to eat Panda Express again. You should mail yourself in a box so I can have a daed Rachael for my birthday (because Art informs me that my Christmas Present is not to be a dead Rachael, and I really want one). Our English major t-shirts (let me make yours next time, okay?). Your car and chipping things out of the trunk with a hatchet. Unless Robyn is reading this blog, and then it was just A trunk. And what more can I say of Harper’s Ferry? We discovered it accidentally but so on purpose. And all those times we tried to scare ourselves at Burkittsville. We WILL see the Blair Witch; either that, or They will come to get us. I wish I could be there right now for you. You know I’ll breathe for you when it hurts, and I’ll kill anyone who doesn’t think you’re not competent enough to live your life. Also life-suckers. We’ve known each other forever, and Girls Camp just wouldn’t have been fun without you. Falling out of the canoe, stepping on a tack, hiding a certain bathing suit. There’s a reason The Plan involves you. Oh, and I think Brother Cunningham will be around forever to make fun of us. The end.
2. My whole CD collection? More specifically, Lit, “Looks Like They Were Right”; Something Corporate, “I Woke Up In a Car”; Bright Eyes, “I’ll Be Your Friend”; Dashboard Confessional, “Hands Down”; Mest, “Until I Met You”; Sugarcult, “Bouncing Off the Walls”; Phantom Planet, “California”; The Spill Canvas, “So Much”; Story of the Year, “Anthem of Our Dying Day”; Bright Eyes, “Waste of Paint” (hahaha, I cheated on that one, but I promise I really do listen to Bright Eyes and think of you, especially this one); Cake, “The Distance”. I’ll stop before I go on forever.
3. Stevo. Duh. And you also remind me of a cockroach.
4. Boughten
For Jf-
1. How would I get to my apartment from the airport if not for you? And that’s not all you’re good for. I tell you every time I talk to you, which is not nearly enough, that you’re just inherently the coolest guy I’ve ever met. From your taste in music to your whacky sense of humor to movie parties with star pillows and leather couches to analyzing Michel Gondry, I enjoy everything about you. Every time I see a cardigan I think of you. If anyone else were going to London on the study abroad I’d been dreaming about and planning on for years, I might be jealous, but not you, I’m far, FAR too excited for you to be jealous. You deserve the city. Make it grand, and make it glorious.
2. Five Iron Frenzy, “It’s Not Unusual”; The Aquabats, “I Fell Asleep on My Arm”; Diesel Boy, “Emo Boy”
3. That hot bass player who made Side Dish great; Christopher Walken
4. Rock
For Taylor-
1. You were the first friend I made in the 43rd ward, and you’ve been a great friend from the beginning. Remember that night I just HAD to get out of my apartment, so you picked me up and we went for a drive and debated getting on 15 S and going to Vegas? We’ve had some good discussions on your blog and online chats. I should get out and see you more often in that cave of yours.
2. U2, “Born to Be Wild”; Saliva, “Always” (I had this song on repeat for a while and had a conversation with you about it later); anything by Frank Sinatra
3. Michael Keaton
4. Verbose
For B-
1. I TOLD you E was a cool nickname. You just have to trust me. So thanks for introducing me to Smokehouse BBQ and Beto’s. And taking me out to Denny’s that one night that Jaxon died and my stomach was being torn to pieces by the devil himself. Your apartment is my home away from my temporary residence, and I know I can go over there anytime and sleep on your couch. Or in your closet. It was a lot of fun shopping for engagement rings with you and talking about The Facebook. Stay away from freshman girls! There is a reason they sequester them in on-campus dorms.
2. Ben Harper, “Steal My Kisses”; Jump, Little Children, That One, You Know Which One I Mean; Yellowcard, “Twenty Three”; Green Day, “American Idiot”
3. Bam
4. Cake?
Oooh, oooh! Me too! Me too!
For Jennifer-
1. Like I told Clayton tonight, we’re not friends, we’re roommates. Who else has seen me through numbers 11-23, two proposals, fifteen trillion papers, six flights, countless missionaries, and one memorable astronomy study-a-thon? Remember the time we sat on Marriott hill and ate that nasty nasty pudding and rolled down the hill later? And remember that time I was saying goodbye to Dan and you took billions of pictures? And made me put them on my wall? Every time I think of cheese, I think of you.
2. Saves the Day, “At Your Funeral”; Stereo Fuse, “Everything”; Sweet Haven, “Go Back”; The Verve Pipe, “Freshmen”
3. Jean Cocteau. The memories.
4. Thoughtful
For Kristin-
1. Once the question was posed, If I didn’t know Kristin, would I know I didn’t know Kristin, or would my life continue on normally, because I wouldn’t know what I was missing? and the answer was, You would feel a dark, empty void in your life, a certain sadness, but you wouldn’t know what was creating the emptiness, so you would turn to drugs to fill up the hole, using more and more and more but it would never be enough to stuff up those cracks in your being. Kristin: my anti-drug.
2. Sugarcult, “Pretty Girl”; Rock Against Bush vols. 1 and 2 (I hate them too, don’t worry); Saliva, “Always”; The Spill Canvas, “All Hail the Heartbreaker”; The Cotton Gins, “Jason Was a Loser Anyway”; Vertical Horizon, “It’s Over”; any latin music
3. I’m afraid to say who you look like, because you’ll think she’s ugly, and I think you’re beautiful
4. Outrage
What do I remind you of Liz?? :-)
Taylor
For Taylor-
1. I’m assuming this is my felonious Tim. If so, excellent. If not, this is for my felonious Tim, and you can comment again and tell me I’m a stupid moron. What great adventures we have planned! All centered around a certain swanky study and some well-fed fishies. It’s nice to be able to say something like, “I hate Utah this is so stupid get me out of here I’ll go anywhere!!!” without any punctuation, of course, because that is how frustrated I really am, and to have someone respond, “Let’s go to Maryland. Tis a magical place.” A magical place indeed. Thanks for being my support group, and I heart you oh so much. You understand the soul-restoring power of a nighttime walk in sweet, Maryland summer air. Let’s haunt the library again sometime soon.
2. Something Corporate, “Constantine”; Straylight Run, “Existentialism on Prom Night”; The Early November, “Sunday Drive”
3. You remind me of Nick, but he’s not a celebrity yet. Traddles, from David Copperfield.
4. Felonious ;-)
