Two Things

Today I heard two things.

1. "Don't question the simple."

                        If there were more to the simple, it wouldn't be simple.

2. A Poem

If you are walking looking down, you walk alone.

But you will not fall.

If you walk looking around, you walk with men.

You may sometimes fall, and they might not help you up.

If you walk looking up you will walk with God.

You will fall often, and He will be there to help you up.

They may or may not have been from the same person. I am not sure. 

I don't even know if I got the poem right. But I heard them both.

College Life

You likely have seen these before.

This is life of a student.

For those who are going through Finals and like tests... Good Luck.

I have been all of these.

Firsts

Lately, without especially realizing it, I have been trying new things.

MANY new things, some are new because its been SEVERAL years since the last time.

(Mostly... they are completely new.)

The last few weeks:

I rode a bullet bike on a major road going rather fast.

I have had several types of meat in my burritos.

I have had the sauces served to increase spicy-ness on my burritos.

I have eaten coconut.

I have allowed a friend to take care of me and be there while being ill.

I have accompanied an archer in their practice.

I have had a fishing license.

I caught two fish in two consecutive nights.

I ate fish and almost liked it.

I watched all the sessions of General Conference (by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) without falling asleep/leaving/playing conference bingo/eating treats.

I have gone shooting clay pigeons and did not hit one.

I ate potato salad and enjoyed it.

I let my computer be without me in the possession of another person for an almost complete 24-hour period.

I went to an international food banquet, where: I saw asians sing for live entertainment.

I have gone several weeks of my college life without access to goldfish (the snack that smiles back) :)

Yesterday:

I FLEW A KITE!!!!!

(like this one)

April Fools

Now, I only just realized that today is April 1st, which is, as tradition has it, is April Fools. I find myself every year in a conundrum. How am I to prank someone!? I do not wish to be cruel, but that seems to be the only type of pranking that comes to mind. How is it that a person can have a kind prank?

Perhaps a birthday-party-surprise of a thing?

I don't know. Perhaps I can send in a request for a solution to BTA (Between Two Arms).

Dreamer

Zoom Zoom Zoom!

When I was little, I came up with a dream that seemed just within reach of possibility. It was to ride on a bullet bike. Of course, the only time* I ever knew a person who had one, my mom was opposed to the danger of the bike (bells of 'rebel' should ring in your head).

Yesterday, I rode on the back of a bullet bike, going over 60 mph.

That was my dream: to ride on a bullet bike, decked out in bike gear, on a major road, going fast!

-The exception: I thought the only way to accomplish this dream was to do so on my own bike, in which case I would be the driver, the reality was better :) What is more fun for a girl with this dream than to ride behind a guy!?-

*before this last year

vrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmm!

:D

Amongst Other Things

Tonight:

Yum.

Other things:

I LOVE SNOW!!!!

Oh. Yea.

I had a party: Movies, Kool-Aid in Martini Glasses, Chip Dip, Fruit Snacks, Cookies, Sugar-edged Champagne, Juice, and Martini glasses! I was by myself for several hours. My invites wouldn't show up.

I had 4 people come. In a 6 hour time period, the married couple made 2 people at once.

I wanted to make cake too. :(

It was fun though. Who doesn't need to party by themselves every once in a while?

Smell

I love it.

I love when I smell the smell of a great smelling guy, and realize that it is embedded into my clothes.

And to think, I resisted wearing the article because I thought it should be washed.

Odd. Isn't it?

Not to me. I consider it quite normal to wear a jacket again and again before laundering.

-Story-

Last Wednesday, I was on a date (give yourself a few moments to regain composure and read that sentence enough times to realize it is true, the prayers said on my behalf have worked). As it fortunately turned out, it was snowing. We got into a snowball fight. Besides everything else, my jacket was soaked. His smell must have rubbed off on my sleeves from him holding my wrists so that I could not do more damage (ie. snow to the neck, face, ect.). It took me a week to realize that! I liked the smell.

I think that I may sleep with this jacket nearby in case I want to smell.

I hope my sniffer doesn't break!
