Kikay is more prolific then I at writing.
I really can't understand how she does it.
The words just seem to fly onto the page via her fingers.
While for me....hours will pass and I'll only get half a page written.
I know we use different methods.
For me...I think I'm a bit more...idk I want to say methodical, but it's more of the sense of "I plod along" trying to make every sentence sound right, every conversation flow the first time. So I often stop to think, consider and figure out what actually is happening.
But at the same time....I don't.
I've been trying a new writing style where I just write down the scenes in my head.
It's more difficult in some ways as I fell my writing is a bit flat, the scenes can't fully be fleshed out until the moments that happen before are written.So I have a cross between methodical writing and then a slash and dash style where I jump from scene to scene.
While for Kikay....it just flows.
At least it appears to.
I know there are times when she too has to figure out what happens next and needs to stop and think.
And one thing she's told me with writing...
is that if a scene isn't working...perhaps you're missing a piece or something needs to change.
I hadn't really considered it before now.
I mean I've thought about it.
but I already know I have lots of holes in my stories.
Yet.
I think I'm seeing pieces of that.
At least...that something needs to change.
You see before this past semester of school started,
I'd been working on writing a story.
But I found....no joy in writing it.
I could get it briefly.
But the missing pieces made it hard to make the story flow.
Plus I complicate things by alot most of the time. Wanting to include too much information, or too many character viewpoints.
In anycase.
I rather dropped the story.
For one...I wasn't sure how to end the story.
For two...I didn't know my characters as well as I wanted to.
Pieces were missing. I needed to know what they could do.
I still don't know what they do.
But last night I had a moment of insight to this story I've had on the back burner.
And it deals with relationships.
I was trying to force certain characters together...but they were like magnets placed together so that they oppose each other rather then snap together.
Yet...on a random thought.
I paired a different character with the main character....
and suddenly the story makes sense again.
This relationship works. it flows. I can feel the story writing itself in my head. (now to get it on paper...)
And the other characters are content with the rearrangement.
It's like they're saying "FINALLY YOU STUBBORN GIRL YOU SEE WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO TELL YOU!!"
lol.
Yes...I can be rather stubborn in wanting things to happen a certain way in my stories.
Yet this new idea has me excited all over again for this story.
A new beginning, a new relationship. A scope that isn't humongous. I can feel the weight of history behind the main character, yet...this story isn't focusing on that.
The focus has moved elsewhere,
and I like it.
The pieces mesh.
It flows.
I need to write it down. ^^
So exciting. :) lol
Oddly though...this happy moment for me....came from some rather sad news.
It's been in the atmosphere, even the earth is weeping from the tragedy that happened yesterday morning in Connecticut.
As a way to try and work out the grief I feel at so many lights being blown out at once...
I started working out a scene. I just let the images flow into my mind.
If a gunman appeared....who would be the saving angel? What would they do? Who would the target of the gunman be? Why?
And into my head flowed the main character from this story I'd put on the back burner. They would be the rescuer. They would do this. Because this person was in danger, because this person had this problem and decided to end it violently.
It may be a different way to deal with the news elementary shooting.
Yet, I feel a fresh breeze blowing through my mind. The foggy cobwebs are clearing and a story is emerging.
How it will end is yet to be decided.
But, good always comes from bad.
Good will triumph in the end.
And that, is the message I want to bring to this back burner story.
Hope.
Peace even in the midst of tragedy.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream
I didn't sleep well last night, possibly due to the news of the shooting. I had a dream where I was in a tower with a spiraling staircase. There was a woman with me, frightened and we were trying to get out. To survive, but this evil witch -like from the story Hansel and Gretel- wanted to eat us. I even saw a pancake shaped pale blood that she called 'ham' that she wanted us to eat. And I was trapped. She had killed so many others already and she was going to kill us, but she had a grip on me...by some unexplainable means that prevented me from doing anything against her, even though this frightened woman was going to die. I felt helpless. I could do nothing....
yah....not a dream to want to remember.....

An Institute Letter
People come to me for advice pretty often.
On a variety of topics.
It still leaves me rather confused, cus I often don't think I have the right authority to give advice.
Yet....I actually do think I give good advice....even to myself.
You see, yesterday I received a letter in the mail.
It had my name on it, and it looked familiar.
Why?
Well. It was a letter to myself, written by myself to my future self.
()_()
lol I'd written it at the beginning of this semester in my institute class.
As Sister T wanted us to write down goals for our semester on what we would do.
This...is my response.
9/6/12
Dear Sarnic;
So its the end of the semester. Strange how four months can pass so quickly. Its actually hard to focus right now as I barely got to class on time as I- we've just been hired at Starsmet! Woot! Its odd to think that I'm just starting training and now you feel like you've been working there for forever. I hope that the job remains exciting and that you've helped to improve and brighten the work area there. This is such a great opportunity to meet new people everyday and work with animals! Got to love those snakes and rats ;) Soo apparently I'm supposed to talk about goals. What a boring topic. In any case I hope by this point -four months later- that I've made more friends as at the moment I don't really have anyone to call and hang out with now. I hope you're brave and make new friends this semester via institute and work.
Okay. Business Goals. There is always so much to want to do. Right now.
1. Keep the job, love the job, love the people. -Shouldn't be that hard ;)
2. I hope Institute continues to work out and that I'm able to stay in all four classes. Work first of course for now. But Institute is a high second. :) <3
3. Find time to sign. Practice Practice and hopefully our test in December goes well. After all my goal is to become an interpreter and pass that dumb performance test. I hear that there are deaf people/clients at Starsmet hopefully you've used them to practice and not been shy.
4. Work on the piano. At the beginning semester time I'm working on relearning songs so I can enjoy playing.
5. Write! By now I should be in the habit I hope besides taking time to read After work I'm taking time to write and not only for writers group.
6. Again make new friends. Keep being your smiley self and hopefully a boyfriend is on the horizon ;)
I know myself well enough that not every goal I make I follow through with.
Especially with writing. Don't continue to let yourself be intimidated by the unknown or the fear of failure. Its fun to go out on a limb I mean I'm going out on a limb by getting a job. Just compare it to things already known. It helps to keep the fear back and hidden curled up in a tiny corner. I mean work is just like that internship right? don't be afraid to fail. Keep your head high. Your spirits up. Your smile bright and always the Lord at the forefront of your thoughts. Conference talks in the mornings can help with that. Also don't be afraid to ask for help/advice with anything. You don't have to do it alone. Afterall your eternal someone won't leave you so accept help when its offered. Let the guys help. :) They like that and it gives you an excuse to chat with other people. Also let your talents shine :) by working on your talents -reading, writing, signing, piano, fencing. Life isn't about work only or lazing about on the computer watching TV. Continue to work on things you like to do. :D There will always be someone better at what you do, but your light can shine just as bright as theirs. don't hide who you are. Let confidence be your guide and tell yourself you can do it. You know life isn't easy, its odd to be out of college, yet life doesn't have to be hard either. Keep it easy going. Be supportive and help out where you can. To me, if my goals only last a couple more days I won't be disappointed. When it matters I will make it happen. I'm tenacious like that. :) Perhaps telling yourself "it's a calling" will help. I am strongly dedicated to Institute even when I'm no longer a co-chair. Like your job you can be responsible and dedicated to other things. Dedicate yourself to talking to people. Dedicate yourself to reaching out to friends -fencing nights anyone? - Dedicate yourself to signing, to writing to whatever you may have your attention now. :) Afterall dedicating yourself to finish another episode of case closed or finish another book isn't that hard. Your other goals should receive the same amount of dedication.
In any case I'm super proud of you and all you've done this past four months. Keep your head up. Keep the faith, keep the standards and STAY DEDICATED!
Love you lots Sarnic. You are my favorite person on any day. :)
Sincerely Sarnic.
lol strangely enough, this letter gives me such a boost of confidence. a "YAH LETS DO THIS THING!" sort of feeling.
I'm glad I wrote this to myself. ^^ lol I even made myself smile! :) haha.
And in case your curious about my goals here's an update.
1. Check! LOVE MY JOB!
2. Unfortunately I had to drop out of the class that I wrote this letter in. :( My work always scheduled me for during that hour, but I managed to keep my other three institute classes going and worked to make up days I missed when I was able to by going to other classes the teacher taught.
3. This goal dropped by the wayside. The test for December has been put on the back burner....as I really just enjoy being where I am right now and I'm not quite sure....signing is what I want to do with my life anymore. I had a conversation with a fellow signer the other night where he works as an interpreter...and I found myself glad that I wasn't in his shoes....so for now, back burner. We'll see where it ends up in the future. :)
4. This goal also dropped by the wayside a couple of weeks after my letter. But I think I will make it my goal next semester. Go to the Institute and practice the piano. :)
5. Writing. Well good news. This is a goal I've kept to. :) I've been working on writing, finding my groove of things lol. Right now I have three different stories I switch between in writing depending on which one catches my attention, but I am writing little bits and pieces and slowly piecing each story together at least every other day. :)
6. Making new friends.....I haven't really made any. I do talk to people and I love being around most of my co workers. But...still don't really have anyone to hang out with after work/institute. Soo a continuing goal for next semester.
lol and no...no boyfriend yet either. :)
Like I said. :) I knew I wouldn't keep all of these goals, but the ones that really matter to me, I've kept. ^^ WOOT! lol :)
I hope you found some good advice in what I wrote to myself. :) lol I found some good advice in there as well strangely enough...its like I knew just what to say to myself or something. :) lol
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream
I had a couple come in wanting me to take their three hamsters as they couldn't care for them anymore. I knew policy stated that I couldn't take in any of the animals because they couldn't be guaranteed to be healthy and stuff like that, but I came up with a solution, if they take three other hamsters, I could take these ones and nobody would even known the difference. So I made my mark on the hamsters and took them in.
Then I was in my parents home, and we discovered...rattlesnakes inside. At least three. And we were working to get all three out of the home without any of us getting bitten.
I then ended up on a playground, and I was wondering aimlessly around when these couple of kids came up to me and asked if I would help their group with a project. Where I would need to pretend to be a dog. We got to the sandbox where there was already a dog and a cat chained up to the swing sets. I rescued the cat from the dog, and the teacher came up to the kids and said that she thought we were going to find another dog or cat, not a person to play the animal...so I wasn't quite sure if I should be there....
Then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)

He Likes Children
Last summer I received a letter from a woman who has emerged from a long period of Church inactivity.
She is ever so anxious for her husband, who as yet is not a member of the church, to share the joy she now feels.
She wrote of a trip which she, her husband, and their three sons made from the family home to Grandmother's home in Idaho.
While driving through Salt Lake City, they were attracted by the message which appeared on a billboard.
The message invited them to visit Temple Square.
Bob, the nonmember husband, made the suggestion that a visit would be pleasant.
The family entered the visitors' center, and Father took two sons up a ramp that one called "the ramp to heaven."
Mother and three-year-old Tyler were a bit behind the others, they having paused to appreciate the beautiful paintings which adorned the walls.
As they walked toward the magnificent sculpture of Thorvaldsen's Christus, tiny Tyler bolted from his mother and ran to the base of the Christus, while exclaiming, "It's Jesus! It's Jesus!"
As Mother attempted to retrain her son, Tyler looked back toward her and his father and said, "Don't worry. He likes children."
After departing the center and again making their way along the freeway toward Grandmother's, Tyler moved to the front seat next to his father.
Dad asked him what he liked best about their adventure on Temple Square.
Tyler smiled up at him and said, "Jesus."
"How do you know that Jesus likes you, Tyler?"
Tyler, with a most serious expression on his face, looked up at his father's eyes and answered, "Dad, didn't you see his face?"
Nothing else needed to be said.

A Half Hour to Curfew
Why is it...that on nights I can stay up late....
Nothing happens?
But as soon as I have to go to bed Early....
That's when the party starts?
I really don't know.
It's like a temptation.
"Stay up late and have fun!"
Or "Go to bed early and actually be awake for Work."
Responsible as I am...I go to bed.
But still...
>.>
Why must the party start then?
I want to have fun! :) lol
Well.
I kinda compromised last night.
As LaKai came home and complained of hunger, but not wanting to eat anything at the apartment she asked what restaurants there were to eat at.
So I listed off a bunch.
And ended with Olive Garden.
So off we went a haring at like 9:30 at night to Olive Garden.
Where Kikay, LaKai and I proceeded to eat lots of bread sticks, good food, and goof off. :)
Yah... I had a 10pm bedtime.
I ended up going to bed at 10:30.
But it was worth it. :)
Being able to just goof off, laugh our heads off, make fun of each other....
Ah, it was like a breath of fresh air compared to the dour mood of our place this past week due to finals.
I wish it could have lasted far into the night.
Perhaps it did.
I wouldn't know ;) lol I was asleep. :)

The Dream
I'd gone into work, to prepare for the impending regional vp's visit, and Reth was being a bit confusing on what she wanted so I went to take a break...and discovered that my Itouch had cracked further. And not just further...it had cracked like the jagged pieces of a broken heart you draw. I thought it couldn't be bad...but it was...through the whole device. It was broken in two, but I hoped that it would be fixable, that I would still be able to use it though it looked like a useless endeavor.

The 12 Days of Finals
You know those moments that just hit you.
And you're like "WHAM!" Creative juices have hit me!
Yah. :) I got that yesterday on the spur of the moment.
As it's that time of year for college students to stress out and take their finals.
So for fun, on my Facebook status I posted: On The First day of Finals your teacher gave to you: A twelve page paper to redo.
Of course...since I don't have finals...I put the lyrics as "your/you" instead of "my/me"
But...I didn't want to stop with the first day....
but unfortunately finals only last like....four days.
Not a very long song,
Yet, for fun I wrote out a 12 Days of Final Song. :)
I did switch up the 'First Day' though as I put 'my/me' back into the song.
So if you want to use the 'your/you' version, just use the lyric provided above. :) It still works with the rest of the song. :)
The 12 Days of Finals
FREEDOM!!!! :D Christmas Break Here I Come!!!
5th day -P.E. -Ouch. I would not want to take that final :S
6th day -A Geography/History type class.
7th day -Again...it could be multiple classes. :)
8th day -Math ooo dreaded math finals.
9th day -Possibly a Theatre class, or any class that makes you do a group project.
10th day -Spanish class. Crazy teacher to give 10 different quizzes.
11th day -An Art class. :)
12th day -Probably English/History class...but really any class that makes you do research papers.
Whew.
Just reading through all those finals is enough to get me stressed out. :D lol
I'm so glad I don't have to do all those....a person would go crazy getting all that done. ^^;;
Hope you enjoyed!
If you have suggestions for other 'Finals' to take. Just post them below. It will be fun to mix and match everything together. :)
You're halfway done! Keep on going with Finals! :D

I'll be watching the leaves.

The Dream
I entered into a scene where Indiana Jones a bit older with grey hair came flying into a room -kinda like Spiderman does to the car thief in the Amazing Spiderman movie, to take down the bad guy, but he comes in a moment too late as the guy he tackles shoots the girl with Indy, killing her.
The girl's sister finds out about this and vows to make Indy pay.
Indy doesn't know the girl who died had a sister,
So he has no problem hiring the girl a few years later as his...secretary -the one who plans all his meetings and keeps track of everything...like Pepper does in Ironman. She wears her brown hair back in a ponytail, and wears black rimmed glasses. She has a cool self possession of someone who 'holds another's life in their hands' in the sense that she controls who Indy talks to and doesn't...again like Pepper.
Also in the picture is a blonde woman...kinda like Marylin Monroe who wears scandalous dresses and is flirting with Indy, they're almost together but not quite.
Also there is a youth, about the secretaries age, with black curly hair and an open face. He's a little bit clumsy, but acts kinda like a page boy or something an errand boy?
The Secretary feels like she has everything in control, and as the Monroe woman wanders around she sees a picture frame of the Secretary dressed in a blue silk shirt, only to discover that it was actually the girl in the secretaries office.
A celebration happens and champagne is poured into champagne glasses and given to...the four...only the Secretary isn't given any though she is sitting on the couch as well. It was like she was in two places at once...but for a moment a 4th figure showed up.
In any case, feeling jealous she leaves..out of sight, and the Monroe woman tries to tempt Indy to join her in a different room moving her body in such a way to give away her intentions. The secretary puts a stop to it, and the Errand boy gasps in dismay...in his toga now and runs out of the room.
For you see the Errand boy loves the Secretary, but the Secretary is focused on her revenge of Indy..but she's possibly in love with him, Indy is just there, and Monroe is trying to get Indy to fall for her....yah it's a big mess.....
Then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)
-S.N.D
And you're like "WHAM!" Creative juices have hit me!
Yah. :) I got that yesterday on the spur of the moment.
As it's that time of year for college students to stress out and take their finals.
So for fun, on my Facebook status I posted: On The First day of Finals your teacher gave to you: A twelve page paper to redo.
Of course...since I don't have finals...I put the lyrics as "your/you" instead of "my/me"
But...I didn't want to stop with the first day....
but unfortunately finals only last like....four days.
Not a very long song,
Yet, for fun I wrote out a 12 Days of Final Song. :)
I did switch up the 'First Day' though as I put 'my/me' back into the song.
So if you want to use the 'your/you' version, just use the lyric provided above. :) It still works with the rest of the song. :)

lol Okay I admit that 'Genotyping in Biology' is like two syllables too long, but I couldn't think of anything else in Biology to do....that would work. lol.
So just a quick run down. This is the classes for which you have to do everything listed above.
1st day -Biology class
2nd day- History of course.
3rd day- An English class or Poetry class.
4th day -Could be any class(es) that deals with books really...5th day -P.E. -Ouch. I would not want to take that final :S
6th day -A Geography/History type class.
7th day -Again...it could be multiple classes. :)
8th day -Math ooo dreaded math finals.
9th day -Possibly a Theatre class, or any class that makes you do a group project.
10th day -Spanish class. Crazy teacher to give 10 different quizzes.
11th day -An Art class. :)
12th day -Probably English/History class...but really any class that makes you do research papers.
Whew.
Just reading through all those finals is enough to get me stressed out. :D lol
I'm so glad I don't have to do all those....a person would go crazy getting all that done. ^^;;
Hope you enjoyed!
If you have suggestions for other 'Finals' to take. Just post them below. It will be fun to mix and match everything together. :)
You're halfway done! Keep on going with Finals! :D
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream
I entered into a scene where Indiana Jones a bit older with grey hair came flying into a room -kinda like Spiderman does to the car thief in the Amazing Spiderman movie, to take down the bad guy, but he comes in a moment too late as the guy he tackles shoots the girl with Indy, killing her.
The girl's sister finds out about this and vows to make Indy pay.
Indy doesn't know the girl who died had a sister,
So he has no problem hiring the girl a few years later as his...secretary -the one who plans all his meetings and keeps track of everything...like Pepper does in Ironman. She wears her brown hair back in a ponytail, and wears black rimmed glasses. She has a cool self possession of someone who 'holds another's life in their hands' in the sense that she controls who Indy talks to and doesn't...again like Pepper.

October 1992 General Conference Saturday Morning
Gordon B. Hinckley -Sin Will Not Prevail
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
-Sarnic Dirchi
- "This is the last and great dispensation in which the great consummation of God's purposes will be made, the only dispensation in which the Lord has promised that sin will not prevail. The Church will not be taken from the earth again. It is here to stay."
- "Intelligences ... were organized before the world was."
- Our personal intelligence is everlasting and divine.
- I believe that in the pursuit of education, individual desire is more influential than institutional and personal faith more forceful than faculty.
- Knowledge acquired here will be ours forever.
- Measured by this celestial standard, it is apparent that those who impulsively "drop out" and cut short their education not only disregard divine decree but frustrate the realization of their own potential.
- "It all depends," I would respond. "Preparation for your career is not too long if you know what you want to do with your life. How old will you be thirteen years from now if you don't pursue your education? Just as old, whether or not you become what you want to be!"
- Choose what you will learn and whose purposes you will serve. But don't place all your intellectual eggs in one basket of secular learning.
- Individuals with malignity of purpose often wear the mask of honesty. So we must constantly be on guard.
- We may know so much, yet learn so little. "Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? Again I ask, Where is wisdom?
- Wisdom is to be found in pure intelligence--in that divine light which can guide people in all countries, all climes, and all continents.
- Where is wisdom? It pulses and surge with the Lord's light of truth!
- Our Father in Heaven loves each one of us. And though we sometimes walk into prisons of our own making, He is there with keys to unlock the doors that bind us.
- As difficult as a physical captivity or prison is, there are other captivities or prisons even more devastating. They are very subtle and take various forms in life, like (1) taking advantage of another; (2) bearing false witness to get gain; (3) knowing things to be true and not defending them; (4) stealing the morality of another; (5) destroying the innocence of a little child; (6) being captive to alcohol or drugs; (7) or financially digging a pit for another, causing hardship and destroying his ability to take care of his needs and so on. There are many prisons which come form our sins or the sins of others "according to the captivity and power of the devil" who leads us away.
- Prisons often cause the offended to lose faith, hope, and even the ability to care for their own.
- Years ago, an acquaintance of mine was captive, for over twenty years, to a serious alcohol problem, which bound him every day. He would leave work, buy his alcohol, drive into the countryside, and drink until he could barely find his way home. He truly was under the captive spirit of the devil and lived in hell. A faithful home teacher loved this brother, saw him often, taught him to pray for help, and prayed for him often. One day while he was driving his pickup truck into the countryside to begin his daily alcohol ritual, he felt a powerful influence to stop his truck, walk out into a field, fall to his knees, and plead for help from his Father in Heaven. Later, he tearfully testified that as he arose from his knees, the desire to drink alcohol had completely left him. He had been delivered from a twenty-year prison. God heard his prayer, felt the desire of his heart, and opened the prison doors that bound him.
- Certainly, a Latter-day Saint will demonstrate the freedom he has received by walking in all morality and all honesty, as taught by the Lord. For his word is his bond--sacred and honored. his life becomes the testament that it is all true--every principle and every word that proceeded from the mouth of the Savior and His prophets. By living these cardinal principles, we are truly free and we become the witnesses of His word.
- "My brother, you belong no more to evil, but to good. It is your soul I am buying for you, and I give it to God."
- "When you find THE WAY, you will be bound--it will become an obsession--a magnificent obsession."
- May we live our lives so we will all be free with no prisons for ourselves or others, only a magnificent obsession filled with freedoms and blessings ahead.
- The time has come for all of us to feast on the fruit of our own testimony as opposed to the testimony of another person.
- This is not a time to panic, but it is definitely a time to prepare.
- You will remain much safer and infinitely happier if you will place your energy into current obedience rather than saving it for future repentance.
- Into each of our lives come golden moments of adversity. This painful friend breaks our hearts, drops us to our knees, and makes us realize we are nothing without our Lord and Savior. This friend makes us realize we are nothing without our Lord and Savior. This friend makes us plead all the night long for reassurance and into the next day and sometimes for weeks and months. But, ultimately, just as surely as the day follows the night, as we remain true and faithful, this strange friend, adversity, leads us straight into the outstretched arms of the Savior.
- The challenge for each of us, in order to prevent having to receive constant wake-up calls, is to remain obedient once we have turned upward.
- While the world is in commotion, the kingdom is intact.
- Keep expanding our minds, for they require exercise as surely as do the muscles of our bodies.
- One of the dangers I see in retiring is that we withdraw from the world. We turn inward as society seems to say, "We have no more use for you." With the aging of our society, more and more of us are going to retire.
- There is no retirement from the service of the Lord. We believe in eternal progression. We should continually grow spiritually throughout our lives. The gospel challenges us to endure to the end.
- So many of us are afraid to leave our "comfort zones" and thus cheat ourselves of some of the greatest adventures of our lives.
- Some have an idea that as we get older we can't learn languages. That is not true.
- I pray that you and I might wear ourselves out in the service of the Lord so that at the end of our useful, productive lives we can exult with Paul: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness."
- Every blessing I have in my life, everything I hold dear and precious in m heart, I can trace to my membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to my love of the Lord, to my testimony of his divine gospel, and to the responses I have made to the opportunities for service.
- I guess one of the greatest mysteries of mortality is why mankind fails to learn from history.
- "We are here a repository of old-fashioned values, an American success story."
- "If religion, as Karl Marx once wrote, is 'the opium of the people,' in Utah it is the amphetamine. Thanks largely to the influence of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ... Utah has become the envy of its neighbors."
- Clearly, the members of the Church face tremendous challenges in the latter days. We must not only resist, but mount a counteroffensive against the temptations of the world and its teachings, if we are to preserve our uniqueness.
- Despite the challenges we face, I plead with each one of our to stand firm in your convictions.
- "In ... [any] tempestuous sea of uncertainty, the pilot must be one who through the storm can see the beacon in the harbor of peace."
- At such times when we feel the floods are threatening to drown us and the deep is going to swallow up the tossed vessel of our faith, I pray we may always hear amid the storm and the darkness that sweet utterance of the Savior of the world: "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid."
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

Alleyways of Bowling
I wonder where I got it from....
I mean...it can't possibly be true for every place.
but yet, every time I go...I still have the same thought....
So.
I went bowling with my work.
No big deal right?
Right.
Just bowling.
:) I actually managed to get triple digits lol.
Which made tearing off a fingernail mostly worth it.
-Odd that. In Recent years, it's like every time I go bowling, no matter if I clip my fingernails or not...I always tear one. Perhaps I'm holding the ball wrong or something lol.
In any case.
Just thinking back.
I have this random connotation that Bowling Alleys....are where the gangs hang out.
Probably the most random place for a gang to hang out really.
But...the thought is still there.
It's probably some experience from childhood or something.
Who knows.
I can't place it.
But even though I find bowling a ton of fun :D
-Especially when I do pretty good.
There's just this look to the place....that makes me think it's rather shady...
even if the business isn't shady at all.
But with my creative thinking...I tend to think there's stuff that goes on in the back...
Yah...
I'm just weird.
Perhaps it's all the black light lighting lol.
But in any case.
I don't usually think about it.
Maybe a vague impression when entering.
Or when the lights go to the black lights.
Or maybe when leaving.
Hmmm
Yah...I think it might be the look.
Lets redesign the buildings! ;) haha
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.

The Dream
Kikay and I were being followed by this car...and this dark haired...kinda Japanese looking guy who was taller then me stepped out. He was rather...awkward. In that he didn't really know how to interact with us. But basically it came out that he wanted to ask me out on a date.....
Then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)
