the Angel Murkurker

Jeremy and some of his friends have recently created a youtube channel. They call themselves the Angel Murkurker. I know, it is a silly name for sure.

Anyway, Jeremy and his two friends who created this channel have all graduated and have their BAs in media arts. They are all silly people. They take turns writing and directing. Jeremy directed the video they posted today.
Please watch it! But DON'T LET YOUR KIDS WATCH IT UNLESS YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN IT AND APPROVE OF THEM WATCHING IT.
I would put it in a Horror/Comedy category. I wouldn't think it is appropriate for anyone younger than 14. But use your own judgment.

I think it is really funny. Here it is:

grandaunt and granduncle to Julianosaurus Rex

Jeremy says that grandaunt isn't a real word but it is. I looked it up.

I'd rather be a grandaunt than a great aunt.

Hillary has born a babe named Julian Rex Dastrup. He was born on Sunday, February 20, 2011 at 2:58 and was 6lbs 13oz and 20 inches long. We went to visit the Dastrups a few hours after he arrived. MAFS (my mother MaryAnn Free Smith) was driving and she got so excited and distracted that we got pulled over for speeding! She had only ever had 2 tickets before in her life. Oh well, I guess it can be a good story.

When we got to the hospital, the little Julianosaurus Rex had just made his first little poop. So cute. Jeremy and I both got to hold him and he is the cutest little munchkin ever! I don't think Jeremy had ever held a newborn until then, it fun to see him gingerly holding the little man. The baby is so little and he likes to be in a ball and in the dark like when he was in his little cave womb. He's a little furry and very calm. His eyebrows are white-blond and some people think he might be blond, we'll see. He looks so much like Scott.

I just want to hold Julianosaurus and kiss him over and over!

He is so precious.

Man pleads guilty

My aunt just sent me this newspaper clipping about the man, Justin Hicken, that hit me with his car. A lot of people have expressed to me the anger they have towards Justin Hicken.

Because he is only getting 3rd degree felonies, I hope I can somehow let him know how this affected me both physically and mentally. I hope he never uses drugs or alcohol again.

the Social Network

Facebook isn't working. It reminds me of the Social Network. It started not working at 10:15, just a few minutes ago. Strange. I wonder if it isn't working for everyone else.

Guess what... I am graduating in April.

It works again.

The Mailbox

Jeremy and Catey made this together this afternoon. Phoebe the dog didn't help much but she tagged along and kept company with us. You're a good dog, Phoebe Smith. (I sang that to the Grinch song in my head.)

Pedestrian gets hit by a car in Springville

Hillary and Scott are having a boy, just so you know. Also, I found out that Hillary's mom is having another baby boy in December, so the two babies can be friends like Hilly and me (Catey).

August 25 was the first day of school for my last semester. I was on my way to catch the bus but I got hit by a car while I was still on the sidewalk. It was really strange because I was waiting for the crosswalk signal when suddenly and briefly I saw a maroonish or reddish SUV heading towards me, next thing I knew, I was in the ambulance. I can't really remember pain, but I'm sure I hurt and I've probably just blocked it out. I do remember my leggings, tights, leotard, and sweater getting cut off of my body and how the scissors were cold but smooth as they grazed my skin. The very first thing I remember thinking was, "That car totally hit me! I really got hit by a car." I was absolutely in shock and couldn't believe what happened. I then gave the EMTs Jeremy and my mother's phone numbers because I wanted them with me. I remember wiggling my fingers and toes and discovered that I wasn't paralyzed, I was totally relieved.

The driver that hit me was drunk and high on heroin, which is dumb in the first place, but it's even worse that it was only 7:15 a.m. and he'd been in court for a DUI only the day before.

Turns out that I had what is called a "tibial plateau fracture" and a partially torn meniscus in my right leg, my left ACL was torn, I had a concussion, I needed staples in my head, and my nose was broken, along with some other face bones that didn't need to be fixed.

A tibial plateau fracture means that the top of the tibia, near the knee, has a fracture. In my case, part of the medial side of the top of my tibia broke off. They repaired it with a plate and 8 screws and told me not to walk on it for 12 weeks, though I didn't feel like walking at the time anyway. My nose got fixed and was painful for a little while, but it is okay now. The ACL will be fixed after I can use my right leg, so probably not till the end of November. I was very blessed to not be dead, paralyzed, or brain damaged.

I'm getting really bored of this post, so I may add to it another day. I just wanted to say something about this since it really affects mine and Jeremy's lives. People have shown so much kindness and charity and we have been full of gratitude to them and to the heavenly beings that kept me in as good as condition as I am. I just want to say thank you to all who have shown us support and DON'T DO DRUGS because they are bad!
