Are you ready for this? Okay sit back and be ready for this adventure I'm about to take you on. Bring a Jacket, and some snow shoes. The day is Tuesday, May 20Th 2008. The sky is dark and wait.... the sky has absolutely nothing to do with this story. Lets move on, I had been at work approx four hours already, with six to go (for those of you that are good at math, yes that's a ten hour day). I was working as usual, cutting graphite on the cutting table that the techs and myself use to do lay-up with. I had my headphones on and I was jammin. Seconds later I began to smell smoke. I asked my co-worker if he too smelled the smoke, because it seemed to be thickening the air. Once we had both come to the realization that something had to be on fire, we began to search for the source. We seriously searched the entire room that we were in and found nothing, but had I just looked down at my feet I would have seen the massive ball of fire forming. It was not until there were HUGE flames that we noticed the electrical unit underneath the cutting table had sparked, shorted, or spontaneously com bust and caught the material I was working on, on fire. Needless to say... I FLIPPED (I hope all of you who know me get the mental picture with this story, because its great!). My first reaction (aside from freaking out, and almost pissing myself) was to find a fire extinguisher, and you guessed it, there were none in sight. So I ran half way across the building to find my supervisor and scream to him that the place was going up in flames. I know that you are supposed to stay calm in a situations like this, but I am finding out that I am not so much the calm "type". My supervisor ran into the room and put out the flames by stopping the crap out of the material. "Ah! My hero!". I sat outside of the room in my "safe zone" until I saw no more flames, when the fire was out I proceeding with heroin ism into the room.
So the fire was out and everyone was safe. Then the stages hit. The stages I'm talking about are stages that only someone fully comprehends after seeing their life flash before their eyes in a big ball of fire (feel how intense this is getting??). Stage one: laughter, and not the giggly school girl type, its the kind that people get sent to padded rooms for. Stage two: crying, although being the emotional wreck I am, I never hit this stage, surprise surprise. Well I never completely hit that stage, I did muster up one slight tear, but the rest... the rest I held back. Stage three: Disappointment, Damn the building didn't burn down, I have to stay at work. GRRRRR!

10 years ago: I was 15, got my name "Poof buck ball", for my frizzy nappy-ass curly hair, my buck teeth, and my overweight chubby body. Oh fun times.
5 years ago: I was 20, I had just confessed to my friends and family that I am a lesbian. I lost a good portion of my LDS friends and struggled with finding any sort of acceptance. My coming out story was nothing but tragic. I also lost my niece Marrissa and times became even harder for me. I am so glad this part of my life is finally over.
5 months ago: Mainly working as much overtime as possible, trying to pay off bills. I got into a new car because the transmission went out in my pathfinder. Then the transmission went out in my Rodeo. Grrr....
5 Snacks I enjoy:
1) Iced Tan Mocha from Beans and Brews
2) Doritos with string cheese. YUM!
3) Peanut M&M's
4) Tostitos and Sour cream and Salsa
5) Cafe Rio is a snack right???
5 things I would do if I were suddenly a billionaire:
1) Go to Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia
2) Buy a house, a hummer, and lots of clothes :)
3) Buy boobs!!! haha
4) Buy a studio, and voice lessons and guitar lessons
5) Pay off my debt - my family's debt - and save / invest everything else so that my money would work for me! (I agree with my sis on this one)
5 of my bad habits:
1) Emotional eating
2) Swearing... for a lack of a better vocabulary
3) Not cleaning as much as I should
4) Making sure that my friends and acquaintances are happy... even when I am not, and not doing the same for my family.
5) Texting ALL THE TIME
5 places I have lived:
1) West Valley until I was in fourth grade
2) Sandy until I was 20
3) Arkansas for a month with my grandma, until I crashed her riding lawn mower... hahah. long story.
4) Midvale for a year, in an apt. with my girlfriend at the time
5) Back to Sandy where I currently reside
5 jobs I have had:
1) Incredible Pets. It should have been called incredible shits... I cleaned puppy and bird poop off the walls! yes the walls!!!! needless to say my job there lasted a month.
2) Radio Shack came next... eww Brenna your an ass! Ok people so I never worked at Radio Shack! gahhh...
3) Jps Carstar. I worked for my daddy, answering phones. I had no idea what I was doing. My phone conversations went something like this (mind you... this is only my side of the conversation) "Jp's Carstar.... ummmm yes, just one second, I need to place you on hold" ***presses the hold button*** "DAD!!!! the phones for you!!!" Then I had no Idea what the customer had even wanted because I really hadn't listened to a word they had said because my anxiety had got the best of me. So basically the customer had to repeat their story all over to my dad when he got on the phone. It was not too long until I got moved to the back to do detailing of cars. Yay me!
4) UPS. Just shoot me now. 3 years of my life were spent in this hell hole. However some good did come out of it. This is the place I met Josh Adair, one of my best friends. So things do happen for a reason.
5) Edo Fiber Science, where I build parts for fighter jets. I am one of the only women working there. Its a pretty satisfying job, I'm pretty proud of what I do.
5 things people don't know about me:
1) I cant sleep with the light, music, or TV on. It has to be completely quiet and dark. Oh and I'm a very light sleeper, practically anything will wake me up.
2) I courtesy smell my own farts. Shudddup you probably do it too!!! I cant be the only one! I just have to see if its lethal or not. hahah. TMI?
3) I can not listen to a song I like and NOT sing or dance to it. I have to. I also dance in front of the mirror when im at home.
4) I may get a lead position at my work :)
5) Almost my entire back is covered in tattoo's.
