12/12/08 Hmm... Put this off for a while...

Wow. Life pileups are hard to sort through...

Okay, in the last month since I posted, we've gone on a campout, visited with D&T and the Rosers, had Thanksgiving, spend more time with the Rosers up in Washington, saw the festival of nativities, got some Christmas stress dealt with (poorly), and turned -not-so-sweet sixteen!

And this, my friends, is why blog posts are a daily requirement. If you put it off for just a month, there's not telling how much you'll miss. Of course, daily blogs often have wide stretches of dull-your-brain-with-a-rock rants and babblings, but as far as personal history goes, I'd think this was the lesser of two crimes. Lost information is a good deal more saddening than information infused with useless comments. Or at least, for the writer. XD

So... Where to begin... Um... I'm older. Fixing to drive any day, now... Might be able to look at scoutwork even. -nods- Life is, as a general observation, good. The holidays are looking much less intimidating, although I still want to find gifts for Mom and the guys. I need something computer-ish for Joe, something odd and mission-friendly for Andrew, and something deep and heart-felt for Mom. You see my problem?

As always, I'm running late, so I'll have to leave a 'to be continued' sign in ominous letters when I go. And, seeing as I've been holding off for over a month now, I may yet withdraw my hitherto followed tradition not to post over the weekend.

To Be Continued...
Muhahahaha!!!!

11/10/08 Well, don't I feel smug?

So I was checking my inbox, and I see a notification that someone had posted a comment on a /really/ old post. Naturally, I run to reexamine this post, and lo and behold, I realized I have the ability to see the future! I know you're jealous. It was in may, last year. In the post, I talked about our ward finally having enough young men to administer the sacrament without volunteers. In that post, I mentioned that this could only mean on thing: Ward division. Sure and truly, not a year goes by before our stake is totally reformed. Coincidence, spiritual intuitiveness, or supernatural powers? I wonder this. XD

So, anyway, today was parent's day in seminary. Hooray, hooray. And I got to walk the dog! It was good.

I made some more salad dressing– Dang, salad is good...
Anyway, yeah, that made my day bigtime. Not to mention I took a few good whiffs of strawberry scented candle. Heaven....

I'm happy. Can you tell? -sighs- Good stuff. Yep, not even the fact that life is going at breakneck speed towards Christmas is dampening my mood. Hopefully I'll get something done, then. -nods- I think I'll go, now. -grins and runs off-

11/06/08 Hmm, leadership is an odd thing.

I mean, it's good that it's rewarding in other ways, because there's not much that leaders can really do other than lead. They can even mess around. As soon as they do, everyone else either gets upset or thinks it's okay. Still, at least you get the satisfaction of a job well done. Every leadership responsibility, no matter how small, when accomplished brings a certain sense of fulfillment. I like it. Yeah, Bishop had to leave seminary early today. So, the presidency was in charge. Kind of messed it up. You see, a few people start messing around, and soon you have all out anarchy. -nods- Not pleasant.

In other news, the election is over with and boy am I happy those commercials are over. I might post my essay on here, but it'll be a while, I'm afraid. I've got other things that need doing and I haven't quite found the time to copy it onto the computer.

Christmas is too close, and I don't like that. I seriously need to get this work done, but other things keep popping up. -grumbles- So yeah, I gotta go.

11/03/08 Hmm, elections

Tomorrow will be a changing day in U.S. History. Or not. Either way, it takes care of this week's YM activity. We're working the election! Fun. Stay up late, weight lift, and act serious. Goody. Mom says I should go to be on time tonight. I guess it makes sense.

Anyway, I've got a surprising lack of topic. It's dead. This being the case, I might skip out on you. I know, I do it a lot, but what do you expect from a teenager who forsook social involvement for leadership and personal development? Speaking of which, though, I learned that reading the Book of Mormon and actually taking notes is very time consuming. One of those thinking things.


Other than that, I got nothing. Bye people. I have to go think about Prop 8 and write out a decent essay.
