Things I like

So I'm starting a new blog of random things I like and my opinions on them. I don't really care if anybody reads it. It's just going to be there for the sake of being somewhere. Writing stuff down is therapy. But until I get started on that blog, here are a few of my favorite things.

- Folk rock. I don't know why, but lately I've been listening to very calm and settling music. Check out Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Andrew Bird, and Blind Pilot. They might just brighten up your day.

- Tweets. Haha this is probably the nerdiest thing ever, but I love getting tweets(updates on twitter) from bands. Yeah. It's just one of those little enjoyable surprises.

- Texts from Last Night. It's a website that has a bunch of drunk/funny texts that people send in that they got the night before. I highly reccomend you check it out.

- Texts for real(not another website). I love knowing that somebody is thinking about me enough to text me.(calls too)

- Ice Cream. Best invention ever.

- Gadgets. This is way nerdy... but I have to confess my love for electronics. I love anything from Mp3 players and cell phones to laptops and desktops. I can't explain why.... so don't ask.

- Staying up late. It's not that I can't sleep, I just feel like I put work into something if I'm staying up until the wee hours of the night doing it. Ya know? That is mostly when I blog, read, brainstorm, and just ponder.

- Making people happy. I don't make people happy so they think better of me. I do it because the thought that I just made someone happy makes ME happy. Plus sometimes people who deserve to be happy have no way of becoming happy. Only you can make them happy. (so much happy for three lines of text...)

-Tish Tish. Yep, it's true. I miss her so much. I'm so grateful for her sincerity and love. She's more of an example to me than she could ever know. She makes me so happy :)

- The Church. Most people don't know how much happiness it actually brings. But trust me, it's a lot.

Well. My battery is about to die.

Farewell and good night

Dear Blogger World

This is my first real blog of the summer. I seem to write most of my posts between June and August. So we will see if the pattern continues. This could be the first of many to come.

So it has taken me a very long time to,I guess, feel comfortable with this, but there are a lot of big things happening in my life. First off, I will be leaving everybody for 2 years starting in a few months (I would guess sometime in september). This is a big thing. It will be the ultimate test of my spiritual, emotional, and physical strength, but It's something I really want to do. I've been told that I need to serve a mission my whole life, but up until now I haven't had the chance to decide for myself. Nobody is forcing me to do it. I have decided on my own that I want to serve. It should be a great life-changing experience :D Second: It has taken me 19 years to realize that I'm growing up. Up until about February, I had never really thought about marriage. It's been a scary thought and I thought it was way too far in the future to start worrying about. But oddly enough it has crossed my mind a lot. But we'll have to wait and see how I feel about it after my mission. With Hannah married, Morgan engaged, and a lot of my college friends/neighbors married, I'm starting to wonder when my time will come. It's weird to think about how old I am. I graduated from High School over a year ago, I've finished a whole YEAR of college, and I'm Ninteen years old! Oh how time flies.

It has been so good to see everyone again. I think I have hung out with all of you at least once this summer and there are definitely more good times to come. Hiking, camping, boating, biking, long-boarding, this kind of stuff really needs to happen soon!

For me, it helps to know that people know what I'm saying/thinking/doing with my life. It's hard for me to feel content with just figuring out my own thoughts. I have to share them with somebody else. I hope you guys read this. It also makes me feel more comfortable writing more stuff. I guess we could just hang out and talk haha. But until then, here are my thoughts. Comments are wonderful :) I love you all!

Dear Berto

Berto just posted a blog about how he thinks everyone is too lazy to blog (basically). And he wrote a substantial post in 6 minutes. So I am going to take 6 minutes and show him that I cannot write a good blog in that short of time. Crap I got distracted and only have 3 minutes left!

Life update:

- Im home from school

-I have no jorb

-One of my best friends in the world moved to Alaska

-I saw mae a few weeks ago, that was pretty epic

-one minute left

I love you all and hope we can all blog more!
