04/07/09 Life: the most confusing game ever devised

Well, that went fast. You'd think ten hours of spiritual goodness would seem a bit longer... I dunno, I guess the saying about flying time and fun was accurate after all. -shrugs- They were good. I especially liked Elder Holland's talk on Christ. Very moving. -nods- I don't think we often consider what he went through. And alone, as was mentioned in the talk. To think that anyone could do that... Thought-provoking stuff.

I have a cat on my lap. Some of you may know that I hold no certain love of cats. They always seem to be less open than dogs. And they hold grudges. Dogs don't hold grudges. Cats are /okay/, though. When they're not scratching, fighting, or meowing unceasingly in the middle of the night, that is.

Can't you read, cat? I said when they're /not/ scratching. If you want to be petted, how about you keep your claws to yourself.

So... It's spring break. If I was anyone special I'd probably be doing something, but I'm not. I should find a book to read. My life needs structure again. Maybe I'll go today. It's raining. That's a good time to go, right? The only day that it rains for weeks? I've got bad timing. (Again, I need structure. Maybe if I'd got that book earlier, I would have thought to go to the library sooner...)

Not much to say, today. Conference was good. The food was good. Company's so-so (just kidding).

I'm beginning to learn a little about myself, though. In games like monopoly, I can almost always make something happen, yet I never end up benefiting from it. Whether it's some psycho trade or changing the color to the one I want in Uno, it never seems to do me any good. Maybe I just have bad luck. That'd be a good excuse, right? I mean, I'm decent at chess. There's no luck there. Maybe I've got a jinx or something. The activities I plan always seem to fall through before I get to actually do them. There's probably a spiritual lesson I could learn from this. I'm not getting it. -sighs- I /need/ a book. Or I could write one... But that takes forever. I'm going to go fry my brain. Maybe some Japanese will make this english stuff make more sense.
