I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LADY GAGA; I CAN'T HELP IT, SHE'S AMAZING.

SURPRISINGLY, BETWEEN LADY GAGA AND ROMANS 5, I HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY UPLIFTED SPIRITUALLY TONIGHT.

I HONESTLY JUST WATCHED STAR WARS TODAY WITH SOME FRIENDS FROM 10 AM TO 1:30 AM.

YEAH... SO, MY LIFE IS GREAT... 'NOUGH SAID.

WATCHING MY MOM ATTEMPT TO PRONOUNCE FRENCH WORDS IS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS.

ZEA-LOTS!!!!

TODAY WAS GOOD; I LOVE MY WORK, I LOVE PEOPLE, I LOVE MY FRIENDS, I LOVE MY FAMILY, AND I LOVE ME.

YEAH... FAST FIVE IS A PRETTY FREAKIN' AWESOME MOVIE, I MUST SAY...

"TO BE A FISHER OF MEN? IMAGINE, HELPING PEOPLE COME TO GOD, HELPING THEM FIND MEANING AND JOY IN THEIR LIVES... THAT WOULD MAKE BEING A MERCHANT SEEM INSIGNIFICANT INDEED." -DAVID BEN JOSEPH FROM FISHERS OF MEN BY GERALD LUND.

JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY SAYS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE TAKEN OFFENSIVELY, DON'T LET IT BUG YOU; JUST REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD, HE LOVES YOU, AND HURT FEELINGS AND ANGRY WORDS WON'T GET YOU AND CLOSER TO HIM.

I FEEL LIKE I'M COMPLETELY FREE WITH THE BRIGHT, BIG FUTURE IN FRONT OF ME... IT'S SOUNDS DRAMATIC, BUT I KNOW MY LIFE IS GOING TO CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY FOR THE BETTER STARTING TOMORROW.

ALRIGHT, THIS IS IT: TWO FINALS TOMORROW AND I AM FREE... I DON'T THINK I WILL BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT DUE TO STRESS/EXCITEMENT / DREAD / FEAR / RELIEF / FEAR / DREAD / RELIEF / EXCITEMENT / EXTREME STRESS.

I'VE GOT FINALS TO TAKE TOMORROW, AND YET I REALLY FEEL AT PEACE... NOT BECAUSE I FEEL PREPARED, NOT BECAUSE I'M FINE WITH WHATEVER I SCORE ON THESE TESTS, BUT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I WILL STILL BE ME AND STILL BE LOVED BY GOD AND MY FAMILY IF I ABSOLUTELY FAIL AT LIFE.

"There are only two things I look forward to in my life: A Law and Order at night... and a Law and Order in the morning." Bahaha, my mom is perhaps one of the funniest comedians I know.

TODAY WAS GOOD; 'NUFF SAID.

WELL, I FINISHED MY VERY FIRST FINAL TODAY; LET THE GAMES BEGIN.

I KEEP TELLING MYSELF THAT I CAN HANDLE THE REST OF THIS SEMESTER, BUT IT IS DANG FREAKIN' HARD.

ON SUNNY DAYS LIKE THIS, I CAN ALMOST TASTE SUMMER AND IT MAKES ME HAPPY. I FEEL PRETTY, OH SO PRETTY, OH SO PRETTY AND WITTY AND GAY!!

I CAN SEE THE LIGHT, I'M ONLY TWELVE DAYS AWAY FROM SUMMER. I. AM. STOKED.

I WANT TO WRITE A NONFICTION LOVE SONG, BUT I JUST DON'T HAVE ONE YET.

IT WOULD'VE BEEN SO FUN TO LIVE IN THE 40's OR 50's... JUST MINUS THE SEXISM AND RACISM.

TODAY IS THE BIRTHDAY OF BOTH CHRIST AND THE CHURCH; THIS IS SIGNIFICANT AND VERY DELIGHTFUL. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHRIST, YOU ARE THE MOST AMAZING BROTHER/GOD/BEING/SPIRIT/FRIEND/CREATOR/PERSON IN ALL OF THE MULTIVERSES (EVEN BIGGER THAN A UNIVERSE... THAT'S HOW AMAZING YOU ARE).

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE VISITING WITH GRANDPA AND MARY ONE ON TWO. :D

I HAVE A LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH MY CONSCIENCE; SOMETIMES IT IS A COMFORT, SOMETIMES IT IS ANNOYING, BUT WORST OF ALL: IT IS *ALWAYS* FREAKIN' RIGHT...

I WENT TO GENERAL CONFERENCE TODAY; IT WAS AWESOME.

TODAY HAS BEEN GO, GO, GO AND EXHAUSTING, BUT IT IS SO RELIEVING TO TURN IN MY BIG EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY PROJECT... THANK GOODNESS. NO THANKS, THOUGH, TO MY PARTNER WHO HONESTLY MADE NO CONTRIBUTION.

BELL HOOKS IS AWESOME: "DON'T SUPPRESS YOUR ANGER OR REJECT IT, HOLD ONTO IT AND MAKE IT THE COMPOST FOR YOUR GARDEN." SAW HER TODAY, IT WAS GRAND.

YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET? VISITING WITH YOUR PROFESSOR AND GETTING HIM TO "GUIDE" YOU THROUGH YOUR PAPER *COUGH BASICALLY DO IT COUGH* CAN BE REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL.

"I CAN'T RUN, MY EARRINGS ARE TOO HEAVY!!"

Today went from bad to alright to okay to fine to good to great to good to fine to okay to alright to bad to worse and then to feeling like absolute crap; I feel completely drained.

"It may seem odd to think of having a relationship with ourselves, but we do. Some people can’t get along with themselves. They criticize and belittle themselves all day long until they begin to hate themselves. May I suggest that you reduce the rush and take a little extra time to get to know yourself better. Walk in nature, watch a sunrise, enjoy God’s creations, ponder the truths of the restored gospel, and find out what they mean for you personally. Learn to see yourself as Heavenly Father sees you—as His precious daughter or son with divine potential... If life and its rushed pace and many stresses have made it difficult for you to feel like rejoicing, then perhaps now is a good time to refocus on what matters most."

-Uctdorf.

I FEEL LIKE I JUST WANT TO BE A SUPER STELLAR, LAID BACK, SUNNY 'SUMMER' TYPE GIRL RIGHT NOW.

MAYBE THE BEST WORDS TO DESCRIBE TODAY ARE: IT WAS QUITE ALRIGHT.

LET'S NOT LIE TO OURSELVES TODAY; I DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING HERE.

I CAN'T GET OUT OF THIS FUNK; I DO NOT FEEL GOOD AT ALL.

WELL, TODAY WAS DEFINITELY VERY, VERY TIRING. STAYING UP UNTIL WAAYY LATE LAST NIGHT WITH HOMEWORK, WAKING UP WAAAY EARLY TODAY FOR WORK (AND WORKING ALL DAY) AND THEN HANGING OUT WITH JACKIE... YEAH, I'M EXHAUSTED.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS WERE I DON'T FEEL REALLY BAD OR ANYTHING, BUT JUST REALLY BURNED OUT.

SO, TODAY WAS GREAT-- HONESTLY, I WAS JUST HAPPY ALL DAY LONG.

IF ALMA COULD TAKE A BREAK AFTER ALL HIS WORK AND GO HOME TO RELAX, THAN I CAN TOO. <--- SHOOT. HOW'S *THAT* FOR BOOK OF MORMON KNOWLEDGE? BOO-YA!

WOW. 68% ON MY BOOK OF MORMON TEST; I'M GETTING THERE! HA HA...haaa.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAROLINE, I HOPE IT WAS A GOOD ONE.

YOU WOULD THINK THAT BECAUSE I HAD SUCH A BUSY AND TIRING DAY, VERY LITTLE SLEEP LAST NIGHT, AND BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I NEED TO WAKE UP EARLY TOMORROW (NOT TO MENTION THAT IT'S DAYLIGHT SAVINGS SO I NEED TO WAKE UP EVEN EARLIER), THAT I WOULD ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO GO TO SLEEP, NOW WOULDN'T YOU? ALTHOUGH, HERE I AM, TIRED BUT RESTLESS.

IT'S INCREDIBLY ANNOYING THAT THIS SEMESTER HAS ACTUALLY MANAGED TO MAKE ME *NOT* ENJOY SCHOOL.

ALRIGHT, YEAH, THIS WHOLE 'LOVING MYSELF' THING IS surprisingly REALLY HARD TO DO...

FIRST YOU HAVE TO LOVE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU CAN LOVE ANY ONE ELSE... I'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF SELF-LOATHING LATELY, AND I'M GOING TO CHANGE.

IT SEEMS LIKE I'M GETTING IN OVER MY HEAD HERE WITH SCHOOL, WORK, FAMILY AND FRIENDS.... I'VE GOTTA GET A HOLD OF ALL THIS AND STOP TELLING MYSELF, "DON'T WORRY, IT WILL ALL BE FINE WHEN SUMMER COMES AROUND..." BECAUSE SUMMER IS TOO FAR AWAY.

YOU KNOW THAT MAN YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH? YEAH, WELL HE'S MINE.

NO MATTER WHAT, EVER SINGLE WOUND HEALS; YOU CAN QUICKEN THE PROCESS WITH THE APPROPRIATE REMEDIES, CARING AND PATIENCE.

YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE THE ABSOLUTE SCUM OF THE EARTH? WELL, THANK YOU, BRYCE, FOR MAKING ME FEEL THAT WAY TONIGHT.

MY ABSOLUTE WORST ENEMY IN THE WORLD: SLEEP. IF ONLY MY BODY WOULD AGREE WITH ME THAT SLEEP IS A POINTLESS WASTE OF TIME... GR!

IF YOU TREATED YOUR FRIENDS THE WAY YOU TREATED YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE VERY MANY FRIENDS LEFT, WOULD YOU? JUST. PLAIN. SAD.

HUMAN BEINGS ARE ADAPTATION EXECUTERS, NOT FITNESS MAXIMIZERS.

IT MAY SEEM LIKE A DIFFICULT TASK, BUT IT IS IN FACT POSSIBLE TO GET VEGETARIAN FOOD AT WENDY'S... AND SO WORTH IT.... ALSO, EVERYONE NEEDS A GOOD MALE ROLE MODEL AND A MARMOSET.

IT MAY SEEM LIKE A DIFFICULT TASK, BUT IT IS IN FACT POSSIBLE TO GET VEGETARIAN FOOD AT WENDY'S... AND SO WORTH IT.... ALSO, EVERYONE NEEDS A GOOD MALE ROLE MODEL AND A MARMOSET.

SOMETIMES, YOU JUST HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF: "WHO IS JOHN GALT?"

SOMETIMES, YOU JUST NEED A BREAK FROM SCHOOL TO WATCH AN AMAZING MOVIE IN SALT LAKE CITY, EAT GREAT FOOD, AND LAUGH WITH YOUR BROTHERS.

I FEEL THAT I'M BEING STRETCHED SO THIN AND SO FAR TO COVER EVERY SINGLE BASE THAT I'M GOING TO JUST POP.

BEAT ME, HATE ME, YOU CAN NEVER BREAK ME.
WILL ME, THRILL ME, YOU CAN NEVER KILL ME.
JEW ME, SUE ME, EVERYBODY DO ME.
KICK MY, KIKE ME, DON'T YOU BLACK OR WHITE ME.

SOME DAYS YOU FEEL LIKE CAPTURING EVERY MOMENT, EVER CONVERSATION, AND PUTTING IT IN A JAR SO THAT YOU COULD HOLD ON TO IT FOREVER.

I MAY HAVE TO WAKE UP BRIGHT AND EARLY TOMORROW, AND I MAY HAVE JUST SPENT HOURS JUST CHILLIN' WITH MY PREGNANT AND AWESOME COUSIN STEPHANNIE UNTIL THE WEE HOURS, BUT IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT.

AND P.S: TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY *EVER* WHERE "VALENTINE'S DAY" WAS REALLY "SINGLES' AWARENESS DAY" FOR ME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE; THIS IS SAD.

IT'S ALWAYS NICE WHEN YOU CAN TAKE SOME TIME OFF AND JUST DECIDE TO CATCH A MOVIE WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE.

I AM HE, AS YOU ARE HE, AS YOU ARE ME, AND WE ARE ALL TOGETHER.

BIRTHDAYS HAVE BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO BE GOOD FOR YOU; THE MORE YOU HAVE, THE LONGER YOU LIVE.

SINCE IT FEELS GREAT TO LOVE SOMEONE, AND IT FEELS GREAT TO BE LOVED, AND NEITHER PARTY IS HURT IN THIS SITUATION... WHY DON'T WE ALL JUST LOVE EVERYONE AROUND US?

This is more than a sentence, I'll just say now... So, whatever.

JACKIE, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY
AND GOD BLESS YOU THIS DAY
YOU GAVE ME THE GIFT OF A LITTLE SISTER
AND I'M PROUD OF YOU TODAY

JACKIE, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACKIE
JACKIE, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACKIE

I WISH YOU LOVE AND GOODWILL
I WISH YOU PRAISE AND JOY
I WISH YOU BETTER THAN YOUR HEART'S DESIRES
AND YOUR FIRST KISS FROM A BOY

JACKIE, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACKIE
JACKIE, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACKIE

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE ONLY REAL GOAL IN LIFE IS TO LOVE AND BE LOVED AND ENJOY HAPPINESS... "ESPECIALLY WITH, UH, PARSLEY!!!"

LIFE HAS MANY CURVEBALLS, BUT, WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT, IS LEARNING HOW TO DODGE THEM AND USE THEM TO MAKE YOU A BETTER PLAYER.

MY WHOLE LIFE I'VE FELT LIKE 80+ YEARS SEEMED LIKE PLENTY TO LIVE, BUT RIGHT NOW, IN THIS MOMENT, I FEEL LIKE I'M JUST STANDING STILL, CAUGHT UP IN EVERY MOMENT, BUT MISSING MY WHOLE LIFE ENTIRELY... IT'S ALL SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS.

YOU STRESS OVER ONE THING ALLLLL DAY LONG, AND THEN WHEN YOU GET DOWN AND DO IT, IT WAS THE SIMPLEST TASK... GR.... ;D

I AM TRULY, GREATLY, UNEQUIVOCALLY, AMAZINGLY AND DEFINITELY BLESSED.

THIS MAKES UP FOR THE PAST FEW SENTENCES: I LOVE ME, JACKIE, MY FAMILY, MY LIFE.

OH MY, I DID NOT EXPECT THE WATERWORKS TODAY; I WILL DEFINITELY MISS THEM!

SURE, SACRAMENT IS GREAT, BUT I TRULY BENEFIT THE MOST FROM SUNDAY SCHOOL AND YW'S LESSONS.

I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO STICK MY PARENTS IN A ROOM TOGETHER AND SAY "ALRIGHT, NOW PLAY NICE."

"I'VE HAD A CATHETER IN FOR A WEEK."

I WISH MY FIRST WORD WAS "QUOTE," THAT WAY, IF I PLANNED REALLY WELL, I COULD MAKE MY LAST WORDS "END QUOTE."

TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY OF MY EXISTENCE IN WHICH I RAN, JUST FOR THE SAKE OF RUNNING AND EXERCISE, AND... AND... ACTUALLY *ENJOYED* RUNNING.

PROCRASTINATION IS WHAT KILLED THE CAT
