My Random Blogging Therapy
I didn't really know what to expect when I drove over to the chapel. It was CROWDED with not just our ward people. I immediately saw Helene, Brandon, and Michelle. Helene was hungry so they talked about going to Panda Express. I just treated Brandon like he was Poly and asked him if he was going to take care of me since I had $4 period. He was a sweetie and agreed. What I like about Brandon is he isn't going to think I have a thing for him just because I asked him to buy me dinner. I didn't bring any blankets with me either. Once again he helped out there. After dinner I laid down and was enjoying lying there when Michelle decided it was a good idea to throw grass all over me. I was not amused. She apologized but I was sooo ticked at her for doing that I shook out the blanket and moved to the other side of Brandon near Helene.
I couldn't stay mad at her though.
I was happy to see David there. It was nice to lay down and I could've fallen asleep. It wasn't too hot which was great.
When the fireworks FINALLY happened it was with NO MUSIC from any sound system set up. There was no entertainment before, after, or during the show.-STRANGE. BUT it was free and I guess I got what I didn't pay for.
David and Michelle started discussing all the different chemicals that were used to create the different colors. They were ruining it although David said he used to work with explosives so it was probably natural for him to think about that. I stopped them and asked them if they knew who Wordsworth was and what Murder to dissect referred to-their discussion killed simply enjoying the fireworks for me. David asked if it was a library reference. I Facebooked him the poem I just cut and pasted along with an explanation. THIS is not ruining our friendship.
Debating with myself if I want to go see the fireworks from the chapel where my ward has an unofficial party. I haaate traffic and I'd be leaving my AC-DECISIONS, DECISIONS-I get paid Thursday-the day AFTER the 4th and I have 4 dollars and a bunch of change. NOT really what I want to hang out with my ward who is getting dinner at some pizza place. I'm scared to pray about it because I'll probably get told to go and be social. It's actually something VERY cheap for me to do 2nite. We'll see how I feel later.
I'm glad David and I are friends again. He told me I've been cool lately. I told him I feel the same way about him and I do. I don't really know what the hell happened in the first place. I'm actually not going to worry about that and just be his friend. I didn't see either of his fans there tonight which made me veeery happy. I probably shouldn't be happy for my ward members to NOT attend an activity BUT I am. I printed him Toccata and Fugue in D minor because I looove that Bach piece. It's a little morbid and very Halloweenish but I love it. When I used to give tours at the conference center I had MANY opportunities to play the organ there or the grand piano on the second floor. Since I couldn't play anything it just SUCKED. I always wanted to play Bach on that organ. It would've been incredible. I started listening to classical music before my mission because besides church music, that's all my mission allowed. My friend worked at the front desk at the Aloha Center. The center houses the snack bar, post office, game room, Student leader offices, bookstore, and a 7-11 type store. Dances are held there too. I made him play my classical music when I was preparing for my mission. It developed my love for various classical artists and it was fun to freak the students out with blaring classical tunes. I hope David enjoys it. He did thank me for the music but his initial reaction lacked enthusiasm. There was a time on my mission when I would get up half an hour earlier than I had to just to workout to Beethoven. Yes the birds R still chirping BUT I want my fitness OCD to be on track again!!!
A girl from Haiti shared her conversion story and what she experienced with the earthquake that killed 240,000 people in less than a minute. Our ward was kind and sincere but still had some questions I found offensive. HOWEVER-the intentions were pure if a little arrogant and condescending. I think Heavenly Father wants me to develop patience and long-suffering or I wouldn't be here on the Logan Farm associating with individuals who seem like they've been living in a Cache Valley cave the last decade.
It is so nice to get along with David. He said I've been cool lately and I think the same of him. I have been working on my attitude BUT I think he's changed too. Whatever, I'm just glad there's no more drama. Its tiring. I'm not sure what the hell happened in the first place but I don't care and I don't want to look back.
I'll just be moving forward. Time for me to take out my contacts, sleep and try the zumba thing again!!!
I went to bed at 10:15pm-very nice. I got up at 6am BUT my body wanted MORE sleep AND my zumba intentions remained intentions.
My "healthy" breakfast was actually oreos and milk.
Sooo bad start to my OCD lifestyle change.
Yesterday I read Ammon again in Sunday school. I've read his story a million times but this time I was struck by how immediate his ability to recognize an opportunity was. I guess he was focused on spreading the gospel so much that he saw everything in those terms. The men who are tending the sheep begin to weep when outsiders scatter the sheep. They weep and are terrified because they know they will be put to death for losing the sheep. I was a little annoyed by this description. Seriously? The servants just sit there crying about how they will eventually lose their lives. Ammon gets them to help gather the sheep and actually try to figure out a way to keep the sheep together. If my life depended on something I wouldn't just sit there crying. What does Ammon do? He is happy and excited because it means he can manifest the power of God. He is excited because the servants will see this and want to learn more. Wow!!! That wouldn't be my immediate thought although I'm glad it was Ammon's. Ammon is probably the greatest missionary EVER. I read this so much on my mission. I only read it again because no one wanted to yesterday.
Sleep by 10:15 EVERY night.
Zumba EVERY morning, weight training MWF
Fitness OCD!!! It's that time!!!
Yes the birds are still chirping-I am in that -L state BUT I don't need to do anything about it right now!!! I love that David plays the piano. I wish I had stuck with it. Bach is in the public domain so I SHOULD be able to find some music online that he can legally play for me.
David's fans kept nicely away from him today OR he kept nicely away from them. Whatever, whoever it was veeery nice for a change!!!
I FINALLY feel like there's absolutely no drama there which is sooo great!!!
I bore my testimony. I try to do that every other month. I could do it EVERY month several times a day but it's good to hear from more than just me. I hope this great mood continues because I love it!!!
