Well yet another blog post for me!
This week was really fun.
In English class we are writing self essays. This is an essay that tells a story about yourself. I choose to do several scenes from my mission. It was very uplifting to relive those things that happened to me, the challenges, the triumphs, the wonderful feeling of the spirit, and the wonderful knowledge that I gained. It has been quite a great experience to write about something that I care about so much, and in such an artistic way too. My writing teacher is very good at what she does. The tips tricks, and the sense of community she has makes for an amazing class.
I went on another date with Lacee again! It was pretty nice. I was planning on taking her to the temple, but the baptismal area was full of people. It was kind of a bummer and I felt like I let her down. She had been facing some trials lately, and I was hoping to rise her spirits. We ended up going to the pizza pie cafe. Josh was a fricken jerk and he pored salt and peppers into my Mountain Dew. Both times I thought it was my food reacting with the drink so I didn't notice for quite a while. The pepper was especially funny because I kept drinking and drinking and wondering to myself "Why the heck is it getting hotter and hotter???" Ohhh the Halerity ^_^; We went back to my place to play some Bang, A cowboy card game where you shoot each other :D. It's a pretty solid game. We ended the night watching Dr. Horrible's sing-a-long blog. It was a fairly good movie. The storyline concepts, and quirks were amusing, however I was expecting it to be a full blown comedy. I was sadly mistaken -_- it just kinda ruins the movie for me when I expect something and get something completely different. The same thing happened when I watched "Stranger than Fiction." I expected a full blown comedy, but it ended up being this really deep movie with a message and stuff. The message and the movie was great! It was just kind of tainted because of my dumb expectations ^_^;. It's like looking at a candy bar, biting into it, and instead of chocolatey goodness I taste a big juicy stake. Both are good, but it's just kinda of strange and disappointed in a way. I hope the metaphor helped ;)
Something wonderful happened this week as well. I was able to finally get some closure with a really good friend of mine. I had written this guy for 2 years while I was serving in California on my mission. A lot happened between us and it was quite a tragic and dramatic experience. I really wanted to see him when I got home, but it just didn't work out that way. Everyday for a while I just had this faint nagging at the back of my head. I just didn't feel right, and it was bugging mhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gife not knowing what the heck it was. I decided that I would set up a time when I could talk to him on the phone. I finally got a hold of him and told him the thing that I needed to say for a really long time. "I'm sorry." The conversation we had was wonderful. We both expressed deep understanding and consensual caring for each others feelings. It was absolutely amazing. Everything turned out just fine. After the conversation the burden was off of my shoulder. It was the best feeling I had felt in along time. There is something very essential about closure. Having something lingering is just like filling up the balloon waiting until it pops. I was so glad that I was able to do that and get the closure I needed so bad.
Well, I think that is all I can think of right now. Last Sunday we had some wonderful Nugget in a Biscuit all tribute to this video It is now an official Sunday ritual we perform. What better way to kick off the week than with a mash potatoe glob of chicken nugget buscuit in the barbeque sauce! MMM!
Until next time. Stay cool!
