Urban Poly Princess

Crappy food, crappy atmosphere BUT nice ward peeps. I suppose I should get to know my ward members better. I just don't find them all that interesting. I'm sure the feeling is mutual. They were talking about hiking at one point. It is one of the reasons why I need to get the L out of here. I keep trying and forcing myself BUT the type of things I enjoy R NOT what my ward members enjoy. I ALWAYS feel like I'm forcing myself to have fun at our activities. I missed Douggie's wedding luncheon today in South Jordan. That makes me sad. I wanted to celebrate with him. His wedding is tomorrow. He is amazing and I have no doubt his future is VERY bright. I was his mentor when he was 9 years old. I've known him forever. It's so weird to know someone that long. He has ALWAYS been a good person. That's not a mystery to me. His parents raised him well in the gospel. He is going to be a church leader one day. I know that just from knowing him. I didn't have any revelation telling me that. He's lived his life in such a way that he is prepared to serve his father in heaven well. Personality-wise it is obvious Douggie will lead. My friend has lived his life well but it isn't obvious the way it is with Douggie. I know what my future holds. I'm probably like my friend because I'm pretty sure people dismiss me as someone who lacks substance. We can't judge. It's easy to do that BUT I think what I learned from my friend is that you can't judge people by their obvious characteristics. I think I need to be more like Douggie. He is obviously great-you can tell that within 5 minutes of meeting him. I just thought of something. Douggie isn't physically gorgeous. He's not ugly but maybe he had to develop the qualities he did. People are interested in me immediately usually just because they like the way I look. Has that made me slack in developing certain qualities? My friend is gorgeous. This is the reason why I wanted to get to know him in the first place. He has to get in your face before you can notice this however. It is obvious he gets a lot of female attention. He hasn't had to treat people very well. I don't think he treats people badly on purpose. I just think he's gotten away with a lot without being called on his behavior. Mystery solved!!! I'm probably going to attend fhe Monday because I want to buy Sarah something for her birthday and I should be able to buy her something Monday when I get paid. Sarah is THE reason why I'll attend fhe AT ALL now. I was trying to tell her how I've been in different groups already and I was going to attend another group BUT she said something about feeling like she was one of my sisters since we're in the same group. She is a good reminder to me that I should attend the fhe I was assigned to and lose the attitude. My friend I knew in Tonga lives in New Zealand. She is my Facebook friend. She told me I was making her hungry because I posted how the Pizza Pie Cafe was how I thought it would be. My response was that I'd rather eat some New Zealand chocolate. She asked me to message her my address and she's going to send me some next week. I didn't respond that way for her to do that but she is!!! YES that is VERY Poly AND I don't think any of my white friends would do something like that. I last saw her when we were 12. THIS is why I always wanted to marry someone Polynesian. My mother sent me an article about how the gospel culture was more important than any of our worldly cultures. I know that, I just wish it were different.
