Feelin' pretty good....

Life has just gotten pretty awesome in the last couple days. There have been a bunch of ups and downs, but I've finished so far back again on the up end. My sickness is getting a bit better. My throat started to swell up something fierce Friday night and it was terribly painful, so on Saturday morning I demanded that we go somewhere where a doctor could see me. (when you get that sick, you get a bit grumpy). I had gotten up in the night with pain, and looked in the mirror to find my left tonsil inflamed, and my uvula 4 times it's size. (It was a sign...that I was sick) Thankfully, we saw a doctor, and I was told I had Strep Throat, although the test came back negative. The doctor said she was pretty sure, so I'm still not sure if I have it or not...Then I got the biggest shot I've ever had, and that was it. The throat problem continued on until this morning, and now it's feeling much better.


The rest of Saturday went really well. Not only did I have work off (and got paid for it :D), but I also was able to go on another really great date with Andrea. We were able to hop over to "A Little Taste of Britain", and eat some native food from our mission. It was close, but not quite the same, BUT the battered Mars bar at the end made up for it. After playing Quelf with my fam, we lit off some fireworks (legal ones...mostly....), and finished just talking on the porch swing. It was great. Now we're officially dating, and I'm really happy about it. :)



Several blogs ago, I talked about how facebook is taking over every ones lives, and the world as we know it. This time, I want to put a plug in about texting. First, I want to start with a confession. I am quite the texter. I text6,000 most of the time, and I enjoy doing it. To put it clearly, in the month of June alone, the total sent and received texts from my phone were over 6,000. It's sad, I know...

So I decided (with help) to throw in some pros and cons here of texting.



Let's start with the cons.

Firstly, texting takes away personality from a conversation (minus the emoticons, but still). It can often be difficult to tell the tone that a person is presenting in those words. (much like a letter). There is also no body language involved, minus your fingers, but...they can't see those either. Also, texting takes you away from the world. It is very distracting, and you are paying more attention to your phone, than you are to what is going on around you (especially driving). When that beep goes off, a lot of people immediately drop whatever they are doing, and look at the phone. (like in a doctors office, classroom, work, family dinner, etc) Speaking of beeping, to other people, it can get incredibly annoying to hear it go off over and over and over (hence why they invented the vibrate feature). It also creates a laziness in language, and even is causing it to break down. Words and acronyms like LOL, ROFL, G2G, and TTYL didn't exist before this. Even in texting people abbreviate so much to the point of ridiculousness. "Hey bro, Hws it goin? Were gng to Jims hse l8tr. Cya!"....serious? Texting affects the educational world as well. Several students use the discreetness of their phone, to allow them to cheat, or again, distract them from the lesson. Also, combining with the language degradation, it has been causing writing abilities to go down significantly. (http://www.techlearning.com/)



Leaving the cons aside, there are also several benefits from being able to text.

Being discreet is also a positive part of texting. You can quietly have a conversation with someone without interrupting something else (as long as it is in an appropriate place. Texting also helps you get to the point a lot quicker than normal conversations. Instead of a whole build up to something, you can take off a small piece, and send it to someone, and you'll have your answer quicker. Texting also helps save the awkwardness of the ending of some conversations. In fact, you don't always have to end a conversation with someone while texting, it's almost like a continuous thing going. You can also have conversations with someone throughout the day, and still do the things would normally be doing. For me, I enjoy texting for that reason. I like to keep up to date with my friends and such, without having to interrupt anything, and they can text me back when it's convenient.



Anyway, that's all I have for now. What do you think? Are there any pros or cons that I missed. Feel free to comment!

Finally....Drugs!!

You know you haven't blogged in a while when Blogger stops automatically signing you in, and you have to do it again. (man, those 5 seconds lost that I'll never get back....) As to the title here, I am still finding myself sick, contrary to what the doctor predicted, SO...he ordered me in a prescription today, and hopefully now my recovery will quicken. Thankfully...it's still just a cough. But you have NO IDEA how annoying it is. Some mornings it will seems like I'm all better, then around ten it comes back, almost like that annoying person that never seems to go away. No matter how far you try to separate yourself from them, they come back. And let me tell you, Bronchitis is a masterful hunter. Humperdinc would be most jealous (Princess Bride reference if you didn't get it...I'm not really sure how do spell his name). It gets embarrassing sometimes, I'll be in the middle of a conversation, and then right at an important part, the cough will come. The thing is, it doesn't leave me woozy either. I have a really bad coughing fit, so much that people will beginning to look at me, then I'll stop and look like nothing had happened. It's weird....

ANYWAY, on to the topic of tonight. I want to share with you my Most Embarrassing Moment. It still embarrasses me to this day a bit, although I can laugh about it, but I figure, the more I share it, the less embarrassed I will feel about it. It all starts back in band camp my sophomore year. Yes, I was in marching band. *sigh* Now I need to defend that fact that I'm not a nerd again. SO, most high schools generally feel that people in the marching band are "band geeks", and to be fair, they are mostly right. EXCEPT...for Davis High School. In Davis, it's actually a really cool thing to be in the marching band. I think the saying went, "if you weren't in the marching band, you were friends with someone who was. We had up to 300 members at a time. Even some of the SBO's were in the marching band. Also, Kaysville, the city of the Darts, LOVED the marching band. There were so many supporters at our competitions (especially Davis Cup) and parades and such, it was unbelievable. So my point is, Davis High Marching Band: cool people.

ANYWAY...(again), on the Thursday of band camp we usually make a trip to Delta to go swimming in the public pool. It's AMAZINGLY refreshing after many hot days in the sun, especially when it's your first year. The pool is pretty large, and we have all sorts of traditions there, like making huge waves, or whirlpools. It also has two diving boards, a high and low one. I prefer the high dive to the other one, so I spent most of my time on that. (Also, I want to add that I was 50 pounds skinnier then) That year I was sporting a swimsuit that only tied up in the front, and wasn't too tight around my waist. (can you already see where this is going?) After several jumps, I thought I should go for a straight dive in the water. I lined myself up, jumped, went vertical, and went straight down into the water with a lot of force. I got to the bottom of the pool, and had the strangest sensation, like I was missing something. I looked up, and there, floating above my head, was my swimsuit. (dun dun dun) I hastily grabbed it and put it on. After that, I hesitantly came to the surface of the pool, hoping no one had noticed, but from some of the stares and smiles, I knew I hadn't gotten away with it. I was embarrassed beyond all belief. Long story short, I was pretty quiet the rest of the pool visit, and I had a lot of looks the rest of the time swimming.
So yes, that was my most embarrassing moment. I hope you got a good laugh at it. That's it for now. I hope to post again soon.

5 Second Games

Perhaps I have become the "blog every other day" type....I enjoy blogging. I really do, but since I've been ill, the desire to blog at night has decreased significantly. The doctor said I should be better in a week or two, and that was last monday, so here's hoping. Yesterday wasn't so bad, but today my cough wanted some attention, so it made itself noticeable.
Yesterday was very enjoyable though. Not only was I feeling a bit better, but I got to go up to Wyoming again to meet more of Andrea's family. It was really interesting to meet them, because I was strangely reminded of my own family in the way they made sarcastic remarks, and bantered all of the time. It made me feel a bit more comfortable in that respect.
One of the better parts was going outside and playing games with her nephews. We ranged from baseball, to hide and seek, to golfing, and we finished with a game of 500. With the baseball game, the rules can be quite interesting when you play with young children, especially with where the bases are. They would hit the ball (it was plastic) and run to a random place. I was so confused that I was unable to get them out. Even after over 10 years of baseball experience, I was owned by two young boys. Next came the game of hide and seek. Now, nothing against Andrea's family or where they chose to live, but there wasn't really any places in their open backyard to hide. I think we found a total of 4 or 5. With four of us playing, they were used up pretty quick. BUT, we played several times, so we had to get a bit creative. I ended up hiding behind her dad once, and another time I cheated and sneaked through the fence, and hid in the front yard for a while. The other games were equally fun. Sometimes her nephews would forget that they were playing one game, and start another before the other had finished (like the time I hid behind her dad...), and we would switch games every few minutes. It was a blast.
Also, how could one forget finishing with a few roasted marshmallows and some fireworks. Not to mention their family friend playing around with black powder on the fire, and almost losing his eyebrows. :D
Anyway, just thought I'd share that fun day with you. There were a lot of other things that went on (like Beyond Balderdash!!!), but those were a highlight. I really enjoyed myself.

Spiderman, My Friend

Bleh, I just want to say that today took forever. I had another early morning meeting at 8AM, and worked until 615PM. It was a bit crazy at work too because they had me doing everything. I worked at my desk, then covered the receptionist desk while she was at lunch, then worked as a temporary teller on the teller line, etc etc etc. (I'm like a swiss army knife I swear) It just made the day interesting. The good part is it finished with a fun trip to a friends house to go swimming. I was also grateful because I didn't cough as much then, probably due to the water, and more importantly the steam from the hot tub.

Anyway, I've had more than one request to talk about my obsession with Spiderman, so I'll give it a go here. A long time ago in my younger years, I remember watching television with my brother, and a television show came on that was called Spiderman. (it was the newer one where Peter Parker narrates his life) This was my first introduction to the super hero. It sparked my interest, but not much came of it then. My favorite super hero ranged through the years for me from the Power Rangers, to the X-Men. Then one bright sunny day in the evening (yeah...huh?) my brother and I decided to go to the movie theatre to go see a movie that had come out that was also called Spiderman. We saw it in the Kaysville theatre so it had been out for a while, and was probably close to coming out on video/dvd. I was instantly mesmorized and enthralled. I LOVED THAT MOVIE!! It was great. The next movie came out in 2004, and I waited in line for over 11 hours to see the premiere. The third movie came out, and I waited in line for over a day to see it. I even had a Spiderman mask, web shooters, etc. It was amazing! Those movies, well, more specifically Spiderman 2, tie for first on my favorite movie list.

The reason I like those movies so much is that I feel that I can relate to Peter Parker in some ways. Not that I have super powers or anything, just some of the situations he's been in that I feel I have experienced....somewhat...in a different sort of way. It's hard to explain. I also like Spiderman a lot because I feel he is a bit more human-like that some other heroes in the sense that he deals with a more normal life. He's not a billionaire or somthing unrealistic (yes, I know spider powers aren't realistic either, but you are missing the point). He has to deal with a girlfriend (or love interest), getting and keeping a job, and making his way through school, all while dealing with a friend whose trust has been betrayed. You really start to feel bad for the guy in the end.

Now, I know Spiderman probably would lose in a fight against some other heroes/super powered guys (Superman, Darth Vader, Voldemort, etc), but that doesn't make him any less cool in his world. He's a nerd, yes, but "nerds are cool" -Andrea. I just want to say that I think Spiderman is awesome, and I am not ashamed to say that. Plus, there are some good thoughtful lines from the movies.

"With great power, comes great responsibility..." -Ben Parker

"Knowledge is a gift to be used for the good of mankind." -Otto Octavius (Doc Oc)

There are plenty others, but I've run out of time to blog.

So yes, Spiderman is my favorite hero out of all the rest. William Wallace comes in a close second.

I'm back!!

Man, what a slacker I am. It's been almost a week since I've put a blog post up. However, I'm am fully prepared with a legitimate excuse which I hope those of you who had been asking why I hadn't put one up in a while will understand. (wow, that was a long sentance...)

I've been pretty sick with Bronchitis. It's super lame. It's given me plenty of annoying symptoms, and I have a few others that don't come with it, yet I'm guessing are related. The two biggest are that I have this really bad dry cough in my lower throat that won't go away (hence the annoyance) and it helps maintain this six day migraine that I've had that ALSO won't go away. Other syptoms include morning dizzyness, upset stomach (well, more just like a weird feeling, not to the point of blowing chunks), no appetite (I've lost 9 pounds!! Woo!!), body aches, general constant exhaustion, and the inability to sleep. Yeah...it sucks. We didn't even know what it was until we finally went to the doctor yesterday and he told us. Our ideas before ranged from as little as a cold to as far reaching as the swine flu and male menopause (THANK GOODNESS!!). The trip to the doctor was very interesting too. On my way there, I discovered that chewing gum was more effective at supressing my cough than the cough drops were. Go figure....Also, I was surprised to find that I had a fever of 101. I thought I had a long enough list of symptoms already to make some people think I was making it up or somthing, then I get there and they add two or three more! Weird...

The down side is that unless it gets worse in the next week, I don't get any medicine, the doctor just told me to trust in my immune system....*sigh* So now I just take two Extra Strength Excedrine Migraine and a Melatonin (it's a natural herb that helps you sleep) before bed, and that usually works. The whole day is like a roller coaster though. My symptoms come and go as they please, and I never know which one is going to stop by for a visit. (you'd think they'd give a bit of a notice or something. How rude....)

So here's hoping that I get better soon. I didn't mean this blog to be one generally for complaining, it's just fun to see what I was going through on paper (electronic paper, that is...), and to basically get caught up on everything. I should have a topic going tomorrow.

Also, in my absence from my blog, I've been able to formulate some good ideas for future blogs. Such ideas include "Spiderman, My Hero", "Like? or Lust?", "Drama, Is it REALLY Necessary?", "My Most Embarassing Moment". So here's to hoping that they actually get posted.

Fail...

So I forgot yet again to do a blog post yesterday. I think I might give up the goal to blog everyday. I think I'll change it to "Blog everyday I can, and every day that I'm not completely tired." How does that sound? Good? Good.

Unfortunately, tonight is another one of those nights. I'm EXHAUSTED!!....and I don't know why. I worked from 845 to 615 today, just like a normal day at work. However, we were UNBEARABLY slow. (think I can CAPS enough words?) So you'd think that I'd have a bit more energy....but no, I don't. It's reallly weird. It's like my body is asleep, but my mind is awake. It doesn't really make sense to me. Maybe a doctor would be able to figure out. Perhaps it's those hot dogs in BBQ sauce my brother gave me last night that tasted a little funky. Who knows?
Anyway, I was planning on doing a blog about Spiderman, but I suppose that will have to wait. Perhaps tomorrow I will....if I'm not exhausted again. My stamina has been a little wacky these days. I'm tired a lot, have a few more headaches than usual, AND I'm thirsty all of the time. What does this mean? I dunno, but I think I'll go to sleep now. (Maybe those voodoo spirits will help me out...)

I remember....

Today was especially good. (like salted pork....If you don't get that reference, I'll understand) I was able to go to lunch with a dear friend of mine. As a quick background story, we met years and years ago while at a birthday party for another friend, and everyone was downstairs. She came late because of a driving exam thingy, and rushed down the stairs and (I don't know why I was in this exact location) slammed open the door, crushing me behind it. That's how my friendship with Lindsie began. She stuck around with me through a really bad break up with a mutual friend of ours, and we enjoy good times together still. It's just great to have a friend to be completely open with and let everything out that's been on your mind without fear of judgement. Even though we only get to see each other about once a month these days due to one reason or another, it's still great to see her. We had a good time. :D

I only got one comment requesting a topic on my last post (I'll still accept requests on something you want me to blog on, just drop a comment by on any post, and I'll see what I can do) and it was asking about my very earliest memory. It's a little hazy, but here goes.

The farthest back I can remember is when I was four years old. I can't get and further back than that. I'm sure in the next life it will be fun to see what went on before that, and what kind of young baby I was. (my mum says I just threw up a lot, go figure) If I recall correctly, it is of me and my mum driving in a car in north Kaysville up to take me to preschool. I remember the colour of the seats were grey, and I couldn't see above the dash very well. I also remember looking to my right and seeing a tree. The preschool I went to was in a blue building, that looked more like a storage place. It was in this plot that didn't have much in it other than long dead grass, and a few trees here and there. Thinking about it now, it seemed a little dreary, but at that age I didn't mind. The playground was just a simple metal swingset, and a small wooden teeter-totter. I especially liked my first day of class because there were these small blue platform things on wheels (only about a square foot big) that we would lay on our stomachs, and push ourselves around with our feet. That's all I can really remember. All other memories come after that, but none other after that day. I hope that answers your request. (any others?)

"I'm going to make the sound of an elephant!" "QUACK!!"

Ah yes, tonight was an excellent night, which finished off with a bunch of clips from the show "Who's Line Is It Anyway" that I watched with some friends. We mostly watched a part called Sound Effects, where audience members do the SFX for the two actors (Ryan and Collin). It was HILARIOUS!! My stomach and cheeks hurt from laughing so hard. I love it.

Unfortunately for tonight, I'm not feeling especially in a bloggy mood. (there goes that word again....is it a real word? Hmm....

I keep having these great ideas for blogs I want to do on certain topics (these all come during the day) but when I get to my computer to write, I don't feel up to writing a long, drawn out thing about them. I mean, yes, I'm sure I could do a short little blip about them, but if it's an especially good topic, I'd feel unsatisfied unless I wrote about it to the full potential in my mind (which, sadly, is only a few paragraphs). However, I'm especially fond of requests. If any of you who end up reading this, (and I'm really not sure who does these days) would like me to talk about a certain topic and my feelings on it, feel free to ask. I'll try to do my best. If it's something I can't talk a lot about, or there isn't much for me to say about it, I'll let you know. BUT, ask away. :D

Attitude is EVERYTHING!!

Today was a weird day. 'Nuff said.



I have had the opportunities throughout the years to counsel my friends through thick and thin. At some times, I wonder if my secret calling is the psychologist of my different groups of friends. It's interesting...Don't get me wrong though, it's not like I'm upset by it. I find myself being grateful that they consider me a good enough friend to confide in, or come to with their problems. Now I don't by any means consider myself and expert at all when it comes to advice, or on any of the topics that they bring me. All I can do is give them my honest opinion, and share any advice I have. After that I try to stick by them and try to keep them happy. I just quickly wanted to expound on one of the biggest pieces of advice that I follow, and encourage them to do the same. It's two principles I learned before my mission, yet were reinforced a lot while I was out serving for two years.

It's the principles of attitude and desire. These two things fuel most of what we do. If we have a strong enough desire for something, or for something to happen, it causes us to act, to move, and to do what needs to be done in order to obtain our desires. If something happens to us, whether good or bad or whatever, our attitude determines how we respond, or go about it. When we can get these two principles in order, life will go well.

Everytime a friend tells me they are angry at what someone did, I ask them who made them angry. The reply is always that the other party caused it. In reality, it is only us who chooses our attitudes and emotions. You've heard it before, but the only person who can make you happy, mad, sad, etc, is YOU. You choose how to react in a situation, not anybody else.

When a friend tells me that life isn't going well, I ask them why, and what they are doing about it. Usually the answer can be "I don't know", (which means, "I don't care" or "I haven't thought about it". -P. Moffat) or a long list of things comes out of how everything has gone wrong for them lately, or one thing or another. Most of the time, they aren't doing much to fix it. This is where desire comes in. If their desire was strong enough for their life to get better, they would do something about it. No matter how many times they tell me that they do want it to get better, I always remind them of that.

True desire fuels action, and most of what we get in life is the result of our desires. Of course, things do happen that we didn't plan for, and they weren't our desires. That's when attitude comes in, and we choose how we deal and react to it.

These are just my thoughts, I could keep expouding on them, but I'd start to repeat myself, so I'll end here.

"Can she get a sample of that one?"

Epic win. (I'll spare you the details. She's already upset with me about it as it is...)

I just got back from Provo, and yet another awesome date with this girl. (the one that is upset with me for winning the competition) It was our second date, and things are looking good (or at least I hope they are). We definitely had a good time.

Tonight I'm blogging about freedom, and how great America is seeing as it's that time of the year, and this blog will be posted throught the 4th of July. Isn't it great that we (all the Americans that read this) live in such a great country that affords us so many great blessings and opportunities? We get so much here that most countries don't have. It seems like too many people like to point out how many things are going wrong here, and fail to notice how good we really have it. Everyone like to point fingers at any of the presidents we have while we have them, or at congress, or the government, etc. Now, I don't mean to excuse whenever they do something wrong, but people should be grateful that at least they have a decent government. Our ancestors FOUGHT so we can have the country that we have now. The Revolutionary War, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, and many other wars were fought to protect the freedoms we enjoy, and provide freedom for others. This is the "land of the free", the "home of the brave". OUR FREE COUNTRY!! And now, just like every year before, we get to celebrate that we have it. I for one, LOVE America, and LOVE the message that it gives the world. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

P.S. ..."One Nation, Under GOD..."

PONY! PONY! PONY!

If you are already looking at me funny due to my title, I'll explain. Acutally...now you are probably giving even weirder looks because you can't actually LOOK at me, seeing as this is a blog post, and you are reading it after the fact. Not to mention that it still wouldn't be me anyway, since it's a webpage, but anyway....

Today at work I had to help a member who had some serious issues, and the whole ordeal took almost an hour. We were originally trying to get her and her sister a joint account together, but she had a bad past with America First and caused it losses, so we spent forever trying to resolve it, and a million other things she had to do, and in the end, they decided to give up and not open the account anymore, so yeah...BUT at the end of the day, one of the loan officers sitting behind me starting singing Lady Gaga, and her and all the other peoples on the loan side surrounded me (five people) and started chanting "Pony! Pony! Pony!" and presented me with this small, pink toy pony that you'd probably get in a McDonalds Happy Meal, and informed me that it is passed around the loan side to those who did the most member service for the day, or had a hard member to deal with. It was pretty epic...odd, but epic. They all cheered and had big grins on their faces. Not knowing how to react to such an odd situation, I decided to smile back, and pump the toy pony in the air and celebrate too. So now anyone who comes to my desk to open a new account, gets to see this pony with a toy comb in its' hair.



Anyway, that's all I'm really in the mood for blogging about today. It's late, and I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow; work, family get together, and a date. It's going to be great. So yes, I'll try to be a bit more bloggy another time. (bloggy?)





P.S. God Bless America

Pokemon and Cami

What a day...I am EXHAUSTED!! I feel kind of bad for not putting a blog post up last night, but I got home late from wasting my time at the Last Airbender premiere. (super lame, I don't recommend it...at all) I only got around 4 hours of sleep, and I worked all day. It's been a bit crazy. I'm surprised I'm still awake at all now.

With the lack of an idea for my blog tonight, (again, probably due to my brain not functioning correctly in my current state) I resorted to outside sources for an idea to blog about. I was told to blog about Pokemon, and my good friend Cami.

Pokemon....the long, drawn out fad that seems to never die. I remember when it came out while I was in elementary school. It was the coolest thing ever at the time. Everyone started collecting the cards, and not a single episode on saturday cartoons was missed. Soon my friends and I would pretend we were Pokemon trainers, or just the pokemon themselves. Then we would right songs about them. (don't laugh, you know you did it too) Eventually, everything that we could find that involved it, we collected, bought, and traded for other stuff our friends had. I dare say it was the biggest fad of my generation. (beyond yo yo's, skateboards, and pogs) It pretty much ran our lives. Then the video games came out, and that reinforced everything again. (or was it vis versa? and the video games were first....I honestly can't remember) I'll never forget the day that Pokemon cards were banned at my elementary school. We were DEVASTATED!! No more "battling" at recess...no more gawking at other kids cards...how would we survive?? Well somehow we did...and the fad still didn't die. Then came the knock off shows that tried to make money off of the fad; Digimon, Monster Rancher, etc. Those caught on for a bit...then died too. Yet as my interest faded in the show, and soon the games, it still seems to stick around. This young boy that goes out into the world and tries to catch these creatures so he can use them to fight someone elses' creatures. They also never seem to stop finding new ones too. First it was 150, then another 100, then another...and another. It's getting ridiculous...(as if it wasn't enough in the first place.

I think it's well beyond the point, sort of like Power Rangers. The first set of them growing up were AWESOME! (for my age I mean) But those kept going on, and on, and on into oblivion as well. Has creativity been left by the wayside when it comes to childrens television? (I say yes, due to the fact that they made a show about Piniatas that are alive and have adventures....) Now were several years down the road, and it's still around and children are still eating it up. I mean I'm sure it's good business to keep something going that is still working, but the same thing happens every episode I swear! First we join the trainers as they go on their adventure, then they meet some person they become friends with for that episode only, then they meet a new Pokemon, then Team Rocket tries to steal it, then they get defeated, and the episode ends with the new friend thanking the trainers as they leave. The End. It's ridiculous. But oh well....

Cami Cami Cami.........Cami happens to be a Sister Missionary that I met on my mission while serving in England. She was a very dedicated missionary in spreading the Gospel to others despite having the occasional trouble with her leaders and her getting along (gotta love that CSP....I'm joking.....sort of). Cami also flew home from the mission with my group of missionaries, and we sat together on the plane. She was quite disappointed with me when I watched the movies on the flight home. Her and I ran into each other again in a random trip of mine down to Las Vegas. She prefers that I call her Sister Russell, like she was in the mission, but not everyone can get their way :P and I'm sure she will live. She also happened to train another Sister Missionary, Sister Andrea Winn, who happens to be the person who suggested the two topics for tonights blog. (coincidence....) They served in the same area as me for a time while I was in Birmingham. Really though, Cami is a cool person, and fun to get along with.

That's all for tonight I guess. I apologize for the randomness. You can blame Andrea for that one....ha ha!

P.S. Why shouldn't you take a Pokemon in the bathroom? Because it might Pikachu!!

P.S.S. How do you get Pikachu on a train? You Pokemon!!
