Unnecessary Quotation Marks 8

I think I just found the greatest website ever. Here are two pictures from the site. If you don’t think they’re as awesome as I do… go make a snowman or something.

Away in a Manger 4

One thought at Christmas has always impressed me the most–the thought of the selflessness of the birth of Christ. I am amazed what the savior was willing to give up to come down here and to help me. I think Tad Callister says it best in “The Infinite Atonement”: That night, God the Son traded [...]

Things That Are Weird 4

These are a few random things in life that make me laugh. Or at least smile inwardly and think that humans are weird. If you have one you saw today, feel free to throw it into the comments. 1. The avoidance of eye contact with a stranger when you’re walking down the sidewalk–Every one of [...]

Quirkopottamus 5

Apparently there’s a game going around the mighty world of blog that goes something like this: Write a blog about six things (only six) that make you quirky Tag six people (only six) that you want to do the same thing Link to the person who tagged you, as well as the six who you’ve [...]

Hunting and Fishing 11

If you ask any girl, she’ll be happy to tell you how much harder dating is for her team. “How in the world,” she’ll ever-so-swiftly point out, “would you get a girl to go on a date with you if you weren’t allowed to ask them out? Not only that, but you’re not allowed to [...]

The Soundtrack to Life 3

It has always amazed me that music can carry such emotional power. The right song at the right time can take your thoughts and absolutely turn them around, solidly placing them on a new track. I sometimes joke that songs like this were taken off the soundtrack to my life–they seem to mold the moment [...]

Thoughts That Escaped My Head As I Sat On My Bed Thinking About How Little I Like Trix Now That They’re Not Shaped Like Fruit 4

I’m one to randomly blurt out my thoughts and feelings; for some reason, I feel dishonest when I keep them inside. I suppose it’s because I have a lifelong interest in trying to make the self that others meet (my outside) match the self that only I have ever met–the one I converse with inside. [...]
