Stupid people upset me

This week in the daily universe, the byu newspaper, there was a letter to the editor about modesty. The person writing the letter was of the opinion that byu should use uniforms and somehow this would magically fix all modesty problems. yeah. anyone else see that this would not in fact fix the modesty issue at byu? has this person never seen gossip girl? even though the kids of the upper east side have to wear uniforms they change them so they barely resemble the uniforms they started out as. and yes, i realize i just used gossip girl to back up my opinion. it is fine. the real issue is that the modesty rules are not ENFORCED. and until they are people are just going to keep dressing immodestly and breaking the honor code. trying to impose stricter rules is not going to fix anything. if people are breaking the rules we have now, why wouldn't they break different ones?

another letter to the editor talked about how the video games in the basement of the wilk in the bowling alley should be taken out as they depict killing LARGE game animals and this is just wrong because it is wrong to kill animals. the author then presented several examples of general authorities talking about killing SMALL animals, like birds. yeah, he was ridiculous. killing large animals for hunting and killing small animals for no reason are two completely different things! C'mon! it was during my lunch break, while everyone was reading the newspaper and discussing this particular letter that everyone discovered i own a rifle.

so people, please don't be stupid. or you will upset me. k, thanks.

Today, my girlfriend asked me if I was thinking aout marriage. I did not want to answer, so I tried to chew it over with twix. Time did not stop, and I ate it awkwardly. She just stared. MLIA

Today, my grandpa told me he had alzheimers. I've known about it for two years. MLIA

Today, I took a quiz on Facebook and it told me I am actually black. I looked at my skin and I was still white. MLIA

Today, I rode a plane home. There were no snakes on it. MLIA

Today, I was at the store and the store clerk said "If you need anything, I'm Jen." I didn't need anything. She was still Jen. MLIA.

Today, I decided to tan on the balcony. I took my top off and my neighbor came out and saw me. He's a guy. So am I. We greeted each other. MLIA

Today a Japanese person spoke to me in Japanese, but I don't speak Japanese. So I said "I don't speak Japanese". MLIA

Today I installed a program and it asked if I had read and agreed to the terms and conditions. I hadn't, but I clicked 'yes' anyway. The program didn't know I lied, and began to install. MLIA.

Hey remember that time...

When I found a human tooth, down on Delancey?

When I went and saw Mae, paid $5 to go to the acoustic performance after, sat like 4 feet away from dave and zach, and then met them and got pictures with them after the show?

When i went dress shopping with jaimie and her family and jaimie bought the 2nd dress she tried on, only after trying on about a bajillion and a half more dresses before going back for the second one?

When i got asked out on a date by a black man?

When i accepted the date with the black man?

When i got called to be the family home evening co-chair?

yeah those are seriously the only semi-exciting things going on in my life currently. sorry the update was boring but i figured it was time. Here are pictures from the mae concert. it was aMAEzing. fact.

dear marci

i miss you making your bed at like 10:00 at night.

i miss you forcing me to look at pictures of small children on people's blogs.

i miss you always somehow needing to be in the bathroom at the exact time i am in the bathroom.

i miss the cody shrine.

i miss you storming into the room in a huff, usually saying something like "can we talk about [insert dramatic topic here]?"

i miss laying in bed on sunday morning telling myself that i will get up and get ready for church if you get up--even though you're thinking the exact same thing about me.

i miss spontaneous lady gaga dance parties.

i miss pretending to know who you're talking about when you're trying to tell me important ward gossip.

i miss you telling me that my eyebrows look terrible.

i miss trying to figure out whose turn it is to buy milk and toilet paper.

i miss you getting up and walking across the room just to tell me something that you could have easily told me from where you had been.

i miss you trying to make me go to ward prayer and i miss coming up with excuses not to go.
i miss winning that battle.

i miss you saying things like "i'm not very good at drawing poinsettias" or "get on my bed."

i miss you answering every text or phone call, no matter what time it is.

i miss being able to tell when you're out on the gk because i can hear your laugh over every other noise.

ME-OW.
