Just In Case You're Wondering

I'm sick of reintroducing myself. Perks of being a twin.

But just in case you're wondering...

Boring stuff:
My name is Isabel Whitney Latimer
I was born in San Diego, CA.
I moved to Utah the summer before seventh grade.
My dad and step mom live in La Jolla, CA.
I have six sibling total.

Less Boring stuff:
I ultimately want to live in Los Angeles.
I want to film and inspire for a living.
I'm currently learning how to rap... if that's even possible.
I'll get my mission call around the middle of April.
I love to go target shooting with my 22 rifle.
I pole vault, but I'm less than amazing and totally okay with it.
I actually like the sound of ticking clocks and heaters.
I like the smell of rain on pavement, heaters (again), and Hawaii.
I love creating art.
I didn't study for my Anatomy test... oops. Better go do that.

My Paris

My Paris was never France. I tried living there and realized too late that it wasn't for me. My Paris is Los Angeles, California. Warm weather all year, busy streets, and endless opportunity. Although, while living in Paris, I learned that it doesn't matter where your are. What matters is your state of mind and your effort. Are you willing to spend more time on your journal or blog? Oh gosh, this is turning into a pep rally... The point is, I'm not trying to fit in anymore. I'm moving to LA. Au Revoir!

Here's the truth.

The truth is I don't know if I really want to go to BYU. I'm just worried my mom will be sad if I don't. And I might be sad too.

The truth is I hate when people start a conversation with, "How can I tell you two apart?" Isn't the answer obvious? Just get to know us.

The truth is I love writing, but for some reason I suck at it in this class. 

The truth is I probably thought you were cute, but knew you'd never ask me out. 

The truth is Nelson, I did care about the film festival even though I said I didn't. 

The truth is I wonder how so many people can know me when I don't even know myself.

The truth is I dread writing blog posts because I know I'll never be good or dedicated enough to make the top 5. 

The truth is I cuss more than I'm okay with and more than you'd know. 

The truth is someone probably deserves my spot in Creative Writing 2, but I'm too selfish to give it up.

The truth is I'm sick of this writing format, but I'm too lazy to think of another way.

Ghosts of the Past

Let's Get to Know Each Other

You might know that I’m a twin, I’m on student council, I moved from San Diego, CA in seventh grade, and that I laugh at everything. 

But you don’t know that my parents divorced when I was three, being a twin can suck, and most of us didn’t join student council to put it on a college application, we actually care. 

If you knew me, you would know that my favorite color is dark blue and that I could spend a good 30 minutes showing you pictures and videos of my cat. 

You would know that I prefer living by the ocean and visiting the mountains and that when I go skiing, I go straight down the hill because I feel like I’m flying. 

You would know that I’m super outgoing, but overthink everything. 

You would know that I collect corks, but haven’t done anything with them. 

You would know that my mom and step dad are pilots and that flying makes me nervous. 

You would know that I suck at texting and would prefer calling. 

You would know that I love dancing, but I’ve never been asked to a dance. 

You would know how much I love movies and that anytime you watch a movie with me, I will be paying close attention the camera angles and script pretty much the whole time. 

You would know that I want to travel the world and make a difference. 

You would know that I have bad circulation so my hand/feet are always cold and I have headaches all the time (I should probably drink more water too).

You would know that I love history and old things.

You would know that I don’t want to care what other people think, but it’s really hard not to.

You would know that I would love to get to know you, any of you. You would know that I love meeting new people. 

Let’s get to know each other.

When you forget.

When you forget my name.
When you forget the song you used to sing me. 
When you forget about that time you taught me to bake a cake.
When you forget about chocolate milk, Hawaiian bread, and Magical School bus.
When you forget about that night we slept over at a museum. 
When you forget about holding me in your arms. 
When you forget about the brown cat and the grey cat.
When you forget about the students you taught.
When you forget about those times you took us to the movies.
When you forget my face.

I Will Remind You

I love you
