under the big top

somehow, in my twenty-one years of life, i had never been to the circus until a few weeks ago.

i daresay that i have never been as entertained as i was on that night.

there were acrobats, eerie dancing poodles, juggling ladies with the underside of their bum cheeks slightly exposed, bad-a guys riding a treacherous hamster wheel in nice silky shirts, roaring lions, a long-haired ringmaster, a lion tamer with spiffy diamond studs, flying russian men on stilts, lots of too-tight leotards, and delicious cotton candy.

and a partridge in a pear tree.

 

and because we are in russia, where everyone and everything is behind on the times

i felt a little bit like we had stepped back in time when we walked into the circus tent.

i'm pretty sure the show, the set, and probably a couple of the jugglers are the exact same as they were in the 1930's.

holla.

clowning around

the other day, a friend of mine said

"syd, you could totally be a stand-up comedian [if you didn't laugh so hard at your own jokes].

your commentary is the best."

it was a total day-maker. 

and since i respect his opinion,

i should probably just do stand-up.

i'm sick of school anyways. i'll just drop out now.

ha. don't worry. i won't for reals. 

here i am embracing my new life calling:

told you face in the hole is a new favorite. 

cause it's hilarious is why.

family pictures

prepare to feast your eyes folks!

for we have discovered the joys of face-in-hole.

and our lives will never be the same again.

i present to you the following works of art:

i call this one "5 little monkeys" 

the title is full of symbolism and powerful meaning. 

this one is titled "and the partridges in the pear tree"

funny right? 

i sure think so.

oh. and i made a christmas card this year!

my goal is to get these sent out asap.

i even think i've figured out the greeting.

wishing you all a very merry christmas!

we hope your holiday seasons are filled with love,

just like the love we have for eachother.

with love and our utmost warm wishes and blessings,

josh and sydney

holla.

drop it like it's hot

ha ha my professor for my study of the pacific islands class just said this:

"if your boyfriend is drinking kava, drop it like it's hot. cause he's gonna get scaly skin all gross like a lizard."

only at byu-h.

ha ha i was dying.

holla.

fuzzy trampolines and perky boobs.

so this is me after getting my wisdom teeth out.

i'm all drugged up and who even knows what i'm talking about.

i'm putting it up because my family thinks it's pretty funny.

okay, okay, i think it's funny too.

and everybody can use a good laugh.

seriously though, i should never do drugs.

sorry that it's slightly choppy. oh well.

prior to this i also did the following:

-- called all of the nurses and my mom wieners for laughing at me.

-- freaked out because i thought my hair was blonde.

-- called my mom a midget numerous times.

-- thought that arnold schwarzenegger carried me to the car, because he is strong (while pointing to my muscles), even though "he is a slimeball that cheated on his wife."

-- tried to explain something regarding the statue of liberty (we still aren't sure on this one...)

-- told my mom that if she left me alone she would go to jail

-- also told my mom to not get a mexican to babysit me because he would be mean to me.

-- said i was the eiffel tower, because i am so tall.

-- thought a little man was peeing in my mouth.

oh bless my heart. :)

ps.

remember that one time i had mac envy?

well folks. all is cured.

for my wildest dreams came true last night, and i am now the proud owner of a macbook pro.

after much deliberation, he has been named marvin baxter gillman.

my life feels complete now.


holla.
