I hate....

I hate hate hate jumping photos! Stop jumping!

Why are you jumping? So you can time yourself with the camera, like a contest to see if you can beat the flash? If this is why you do it, just go outside and try to jump over the garage door sensor without it noticing you, way more fun and way less annoying.

i think people who wear their high school varsity jackets are idiots.

i also secretly love how BYU always has unattractive people in their advertisements...it makes me feel like this world is getting a bit more realistic about the people in it. (i also realize that this last confession is hypocritical...but whatever...you HAVE to love me....we're friends/family!)

lets have a big family reunion of friends. 

chocolate

i brought so much chocolate back to new york from kosovo, and i was gonna mail most of it to "some people". but instead i ate most of it myself...which was a good idea i think.

I tried to brush it off....

but it keeps eating away at me....PROP 8!!!!!!!

Did the church ever officially instruct members to oppose the civil rights movement on the grounds that blacks could not hold the priesthood? President Monson has taken a matter of doctrine, limitations of gay's in church activity, and asked us to extend that to public policy. As far as I can tell, despite the fact that blacks were officially unequal in the priesthood, the prophet never asked us to enforce that same inequality in society. This is why am have been so shaken by this whole thing. For the prophet to go so far as to essentially command all saints to oppose same-sex marriage either means it is really important or he is a complete fraud.

I don't see how I can just sweep it under the rug and casually say that they must be mistaken on this one. I can say that when my sunday school teacher refutes global warming or evolution, or even when general authorities do. Of course they have never told me to vote against global warming initiatives or fund creationist education advocates.

I guess my confession is that I'm closer to the edge than I want to be.

This is coming about four months late but....

uhh this is kind of embarrassing BUT

When Broken Social Scene came to SLC I had my friend Parker lift me up so I could knock on their tour bus window and give them the "I love you" hand signal. Kevin Drew gave me a weird look and the "OK" hand signal.

Do not judge.
when i think about my friends i miss provo terribly, but when i look through provo facebook albums i want to throw up and never go back there.
i have no motivation.

this paper is taking me FOREVER!

when i am busy with school and things (like i am now) i never feel like i can spare any time for things like clipping my finger-nails. so it goes undone for weeks sometimes.
