it followed me home. i am most displeased. as for the trip, just imagine: me, in a small cabin, with a bunch of adolecence females, surrounded by five feet of snow, for three days. weird weird weird. nah, actually it wasn't all that bad. we had fun, and i'm excited for camp. i'm gonna be the coolest ycl ever. it's the week before efy too. by the time i go back to work, i'll be twitching convusively. YUS!
on a completely other note (minor), the siblings' stake dance was a party. i'm such a nerd. but it's okay. i'm glad the m-vites came. though i got snow down my collar...
hmmm, and speaking of snow, i have a thought for you to ponder, before i finish and go to cal; how did nephi know what driven snow looked like? they don't have snow in jeruselam, do they?

geese
the three birds meandered slowly and half-blindly through the snow. for some strange reason the bluebird was in the lead. though she was the only fowl among them that knew where they were going, she was not a winter bird and had, um...trouble. but finally the group landed.
what was not expected was the fact that they had to wear SKIRTS. and have DANCE CADRS! so instead they watched making fiends. All. Night. Long. let's pretend to be postal workers!

paired up
i went shopping with my dad today. to...The Mall. my mom refused to take me. it's too graphic. but by easing my father behind the wheel of only car with gas in it by saying i needed to go to the library, ( i really did. those cds are two days overdue.) i manuvered the Pickup to...The Mall.
i've needed shoes since october. half of my "nice clothes" were completed by a pair of flip flops. no longer so, and i've been wearing winter shoes since. but i long to wear that other half. not having any money myself, i am dependant upon my parental figures. however, when approached with the subject, my mother shudders and either says, "later" or that the boys are practically falling out of their shoes. she's never really liked shopping herself, especially at...The Mall.
now, the boys have the unfair advantage of feet that are yet growing. i haven't budged since eighth grade. i get shoes once a year. maybe. they get shoes every couple months. and thus i finangled the black flats out of forever young and onto my rather reluctant feet.(i like them, but how can i love them after my flip flops? they're just...aquaintances.) but it got me thinking about the extent to which i manipulate my parents and, quite often, cause contention within their relationship. everyone does it; it's human nature. mom isn't gonna sway, so you sweet talk daddy, and then slip away when the two start to talk. a couple needs to have a very stable relationship before children. while kids do strengthen the bond, it needs to be able to withstand the inevitable tug-of-war that children will inflict upon their parents.
that's my profound thought, and geeky shopping experience for the day. *sigh* maybe if i "forget" my shoes tomorrow it will make me feel better. except that people check my feet now. weirdos.

too much time on my hands
avoiding my homework, lalalalala. i do need to read and do math soon. plus, i've been on the computer WAY too long for good health or hygiene. i need a hobby. i need to call amicus. is it too late for that? i know not.
but, i should leave you with something edifying before i depart. hmm..this'll work:
A turkey should never be carved until it has been out of the oven at least 30 minutes. This permits the inner cooking to subside and the internal meat juices to stop running. Once the meat sets, it's easier to carve clean, neat slices.
happy saturday all!

i talked to ryan today. first time in a month. he got his call today too. funny how that works. he's going to Tahiti. not what i expected.
it's strange. i don't know how i feel. i've always known that he would leave. it's a given. but now that he's set to leave...
i wish that i had a better relationship with him. i wish that i knew how to fix the mistakes that i've made in the one we have. i don't know how. i want to be his friend so bad. why is it so hard? i don't understand and that scares me. i don't know what to do.
