My adventure in becoming a [Good] Mormon

Archive for December, 2010

101 things-stolen from an FB friend

  1. I’m doing this because watching TV feels like I’m sulking on new years
  2. I rearranged my room and I love it.
  3. But because I always feel like I’m wasting time in my room, I don’t like to stay in there, even though it’s uber cool now
  4. I get too into video games and then get easily scared (ie. any FPS (especially bioshock), tomb raider). So I go months without playing my favourite games until I build up my courage again.
  5. It seems in games where it’s possible, I often unintentionally and unknowingly have sex
  6. I’m feeling like I’m going to throw up, but thankfully haven’t yet. I think it’s cause I’ve eaten nothing but fruit, chocolate, egg nog and a bagel
  7. When singing alone, I rarely sing like a girl, I sing like a man. Ex. Leonard Cohen in his younger days: I can kinda sing that low.
  8. I love to dance sporadically (and when I’m alone) and it usually consists of high speed flailing
  9. I am very self conscious when I dance in public. It’s one of the few times where I feel fat
  10. I am in an emotional knot, dreadfully confused and unsure of many important things in my life. It terrifies me
  11. I’ve tried to write 3 different novels and kept getting lost in my plot, so I gave up.
  12. I like writing poetry
  13. I’m going to u of c for anthropology and archaeology.
  14. It’s unlikely that my job, if I get one, in those sectors will be high paying
  15. I’m ok with not being rich because of ^. With archaeology, when I travel, I plan on doing humanitarian work there too, so I think I’ll be ok (it works out in my head)
  16. My dream job is an astronaut. I’m too short/blind though.
  17. My completely unfeasible dream job is a cargo ship captain…In space. If that ever is possible, you will never hear from me again, or rarely, because I will be off in space, delivering cargo to far away civilizations
  18. I cry when I’m happy, overly excited, angry, frustrated, overly worried, nostalgic…uh…angsty I believe is the word….Basically, I cry lots. But you won’t see it usually
  19. Sometimes, when there’s a lot on my mind, I just sit at the computer desk, stare at my star trek poster and listen to music
  20. I wish I had more talent in the creative areas that I enjoy.
  21. I want to go through a black hole. Not to kill myself, I don’t want to commit suicide, but that is how I want to die.
  22. I suck at speaking my mind, I can write it way better
  23. I don’t often speak my mind for fear of crying. And there are….about 6 people who I can’t, for whatever reason, cry in front of. It confuses me
  24. I tend to have an overly optimistic, overly imaginative frame of mind. It’s probably gonna end up hurting me in the end
  25. I think John Lennon was extraordinarily good looking
  26. As was Leonard Nimoy
  27. I tend to like older men….Let’s not get into how much older though 😉
  28. I have, at points long ago, considered becoming anorexic and cutting myself. But that was ages ago. Now I’m too darn optimistic LOL
  29. I really enjoy fasting. Except for stomach grumbles
  30. Religiously, I have a ‘base’ religion (Mormonism) with a ton of add-ons (evolution theories, not pangea but the theory where the world is alive, noetic science/holistic stuff, other religious ideals etc). it makes sense in my head but there’s no way I could ever fully explain it XD
  31. I love reading well written fan fiction
  32. I think relationships are overrated and people make too big of a deal over having a significant other
  33. I like non-sensical songs and songs in other languages
  34. Talking about the circulation system and doing full animal dissections makes me sick…But just body parts are cool to dissect
  35. Nothing makes me angrier than animal and child abuse
  36. Cats on catnip=funniest thing ever
  37. I want to live in Ireland and Lithuania
  38. I can also sing like Lennon in Twist and Shout XD
  39. I overuse XD
  40. I’m scared of losing any of my friends. Ever
  41. I’m scared of the dark, walking home alone at night and being home alone at night
  42. I’m out of facts, but then saw 42 and LOL’d
  43. I love church. I would spend time there every day if possible
  44. I’m really shy. Me being loud around people I don’t know is an attempt to avoid shyness
  45. I decided today I wasted my youth by not rebelling at least once
  46. biting my lip/cheek makes me angry
  47. I plan on going on a mission when I’m 21
  48. I get into arguments way too easily
  49. I’m reeeeally tired currently
  50. When I’m really annoyed with people, I like have a 2+ hour bath and reading while listening to Leonard Cohen
  51. I’m probably too open with people
  52. On occasion, when I find a tv show/movie I absolutely love, I will watch it daily. Ex: Moulin Rouge, Star Trek (I watched ‘First Contact’ almost every day for a month), V for Vendetta
  53. I hate painting my fingernails. But painting my toenails is ok
  54. I wear my pajamas 24/7 at home. It’s not that I’m lazy, I just feel uncomfortable in anything not 3 sizes too big for me
  55. If not morally restrained, I probably wouldn’t have an issue being a nudist
  56. Which makes me laugh because I’m self conscious when dancing
  57. I hate having dry hands
  58. I enjoy cuddling people. Not in a relationship type way, I just like being close to my friends
  59. That’s probably a huge factor into why I love church so much
  60. I like to try to help people solve their problems, even though I seem to fail at solving my own
  61. Not that I’m nosy, but I love learning about everyones life
  62. I never really was upset over learning Santa wasn’t real
  63. But i’m 99% certain when Santa came to my house, he was my current Bishop. which makes me laugh
  64. One of my new years resolutions is to foster a child or something similar
  65. I looooove juice…And bubble tea ^^
  66. Another resolution:too not be so pushy with everyone and just go with the flow
  67. On the anniversary of my baptism, my mom said she’d rent a nice car and take me to the Temple. I’m excited
  68. I wanna take one of those ‘find-yourself’ road trips with a friend
  69. i’d probably end up more confused though
  70. Becoming Mormon is the best choice I ever made.
  71. Despite common belief, I have only ever found one of my teachers attractive and that was a while back
  72. I wish I had taken an extracurricular activity in elementary and stuck with it.
  73. Outside of school and church, I have no clue how to go about making friends…Even in church at points. It scares me
  74. I’d like to get into photography, sculpting, glass blowing, artistic metal working and jewelry making.
  75. I use songs to help figure out how I’m feeling. This is the current emotion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iol0B-clFFM&list=PLEFC80563401CF44A&index=171&playnext=6 sadly happy XD
  76. Things that embarrassed me years ago still pop up to annoy me on occasion. I hate it
  77. The best days of my life were at band camp, my baptism and the Temple.
  78. I’m a completely hopeless romantic
  79. I like to dress nice and do my hair prettily. Not cause I want to impress anyone, it just makes me happy
  80. I’m dancing to this at my wedding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uwh2QloOnS0&list=PLEFC80563401CF44A&index=172&playnext=7
  81. When I say someone is good looking, it 99% of the time doesn’t mean that I want to be in a relationship with them. The way I see it, it’s like they’re like a nice piece of art, but you would never purchase it to hang in your house
  82. I would love to be able to write like Leonard Cohen
  83. I want to try singing publicly, ie. Talent show, choir, etc…But I’m too chicken
  84. I’m out of juice…I’ll probably finish this jug by tonight
  85. I trust people too easily and forgive them even easier. Yet no one has back-stabbed me…Well, except one, long ago.
  86. I feel old
  87. I like to walk. Everywhere
  88. I have scars on my left shin, right ankle, the underside of my left arm and all over my hands
  89. When I was little, i was convinced I could tell time by the freckle on my wrist. And that a wallet sized photo of myself was my driver’s license
  90. I think I’m a jerk to most people
  91. But people say otherwise
  92. I don’t particularly like junk food (chips, etc) but I really love chocolate in small amounts
  93. I sleep talk and will sleep walk if anything star trek or phantom of the opera related comes on the tv/stereo. Don’t ask me why
  94. I like to cook/bake but often lack the motivation/creativity/ingredients to do so
  95. Secretly, I love horses. But I don’t express it often because I think it makes me look like a loser (and star trek doesn’t? LOL)
  96. If it wasn’t so expensive, i would dress in a steampunk style every day. Goggles and all
  97. As much as I love space and such, the stereotypical grey aliens terrify me. I really hope they don’t look like that.
  98. I like to read scientific stuff that I just barely have a tiny bit of knowledge on ex. Particle physics, noetic science, space in general, m theory, string theory etc
  99. I love to shop online
  100. Shopping in public makes me nervous, especially clothes shopping with anyone but family. The one time I went shopping with a friend, i stuck him on the guy’s side and avoided him till I bought my stuff LOL. Otherwise, I will browse, find what I like, make a note of it and come back alone or with family
  101. I use music as themes for everything. You can pick almost any song off my playlists on youtube and they have a meaning attached

my wedding song

So I’ve decided now on both my funeral and wedding songs now ^^

*bounce bounce*

I is happy Cass.

Cause I got a nice TV for my room for Christmas.

I had a mashed potato fight

In….2 days over a week, I will get to see one of my missionaries again, cause he’s going home, yay!!/=(.

After like….7 months I talked to said missionary

I just spent an hour and a 1/2 drive daydreaming about happy stuff, for once.

I realized why I looooove stargazing…It may sound corny, but to me, each star is like a hole in the veil that lets me glimpse eternity

While stargazing with binoculars, I happened upon an absolutely amazing cluster of giant blue stars (due to closeness/color, I’m assuming it’s a nebula or was one at some point in eternity), that actually made me exclaim ‘Holy Toledo!!’ and mash my face into the binoculars.

Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.”
— Marilyn Monroe

I think it’s Optimism’s fault. Or maybe that’s False Hope talking XD

Spoke too soon!

Well, after an hour’s flurry of checking buses and flights, things have been rearranged so Char can come here. It was unlikely at first, but considering she has CRAPLOADS of food (ex. 5 gigantic aluminum trays of baked goods), it would all go to waste if she didn’t. Plus, it’s cheaper for her to drive here than me to fly there.

Now begins the frenzied grocery shopping and cooking!

Maybe this was a blessing in disguise, I felt really bad leaving my  mum home alone.

Well my Christmas just flew out the window….

So I was supposed to go to Saskatchewan to visit my sister, Char. I was going with my sister Cris. Then last night, the brakes on their van go…Which isn’t too much of a problem for our trip, we can just take their truck.

Then this morning, they end up taking my niece to the Children’s hospital because she’s vomiting non-stop. Turns out she has some crazy virus. So they had to go home with her and put her on some meds. Now we definitely aren’t going.

And, my backup plan of flying there won’t work because flights are insanely priced.

My mom and I didn’t buy any stuff for Christmas dinner because we assumed no one was gonna be here. No family is coming in and our tree isn’t even decorated because we’ve been too busy. I have no further backup plans, I hope someone else in my family does…

And nope, can’t bus there either

How to be alone

“HOW TO BE ALONE by Tanya Davis

If you are at first lonely, be patient. If you’ve not been alone much, or if when you were, you weren’t okay with it, then just wait. You’ll find it’s fine to be alone once you’re embracing it.

We could start with the acceptable places, the bathroom, the coffee shop, the library. Where you can stall and read the paper, where you can get your caffeine fix and sit and stay there. Where you can browse the stacks and smell the books. You’re not supposed to talk much anyway so it’s safe there.

There’s also the gym. If you’re shy you could hang out with yourself in mirrors, you could put headphones in (guitar stroke).

And there’s public transportation, because we all gotta go places.

And there’s prayer and meditation. No one will think less if you’re hanging with your breath seeking peace and salvation.

Start simple. Things you may have previously (electric guitar plucking) based on your avoid being alone principals.

The lunch counter. Where you will be surrounded by chow-downers. Employees who only have an hour and their spouses work across town and so they — like you — will be alone.

Resist the urge to hang out with your cell phone.

When you are comfortable with eat lunch and run, take yourself out for dinner. A restaurant with linen and silverware. You’re no less intriguing a person when you’re eating solo dessert to cleaning the whipped cream from the dish with your finger. In fact some people at full tables will wish they were where you were.

Go to the movies. Where it is dark and soothing. Alone in your seat amidst a fleeting community.
And then, take yourself out dancing to a club where no one knows you. Stand on the outside of the floor till the lights convince you more and more and the music shows you. Dance like no one’s watching…because, they’re probably not. And, if they are, assume it is with best of human intentions. The way bodies move genuinely to beats is, after all, gorgeous and affecting. Dance until you’re sweating, and beads of perspiration remind you of life’s best things, down your back like a brook of blessings.

Go to the woods alone, and the trees and squirrels will watch for you.
Go to an unfamiliar city, roam the streets, there’re always statues to talk to and benches made for sitting give strangers a shared existence if only for a minute and these moments can be so uplifting and the conversations you get in by sitting alone on benches might’ve never happened had you not been there by yourself

Society is afraid of alonedom, like lonely hearts are wasting away in basements, like people must have problems if, after a while, nobody is dating them. but lonely is a freedom that breaths easy and weightless and lonely is healing if you make it.

You could stand, swathed by groups and mobs or hold hands with your partner, look both further and farther for the endless quest for company. But no one’s in your head and by the time you translate your thoughts, some essence of them may be lost or perhaps it is just kept.

Perhaps in the interest of loving oneself, perhaps all those sappy slogans from preschool over to high school’s groaning were tokens for holding the lonely at bay. Cuz if you’re happy in your head than solitude is blessed and alone is okay.

It’s okay if no one believes like you. All experience is unique, no one has the same synapses, can’t think like you, for this be releived, keeps things interesting lifes magic things in reach.

And it doesn’t mean you’re not connected, that communitie’s not present, just take the perspective you get from being one person in one head and feel the effects of it. take silence and respect it. if you have an art that needs a practice, stop neglecting it. if your family doesn’t get you, or religious sect is not meant for you, don’t obsess about it.

you could be in an instant surrounded if you needed it
If your heart is bleeding make the best of it
There is heat in freezing, be a testament.”

Very Leonard Cohen-esque. But not as super melancholy.

I’m going to Saskatchewan tomorrow. In those six hours, I am going to attempt to write something. Hopefully similar to that, but very likely not.

I did write something today. I was out for dinner with my mom and grandparents. It’s always fascinated me how transparent old people skin is.

“Tracks of blue

Weave ‘cross the plains,

white as snow.

Rivers of life

That keep her going.

Don’t slow the flow.”

I got to sit in a pub today while out for dinner. People are more fascinating there. I enjoy watching beer be poured, it’s intriguing.

Cute quote from a facebook page:

“You fight like a married couple, you talk like best friends, you flirt like first loves, and protect each other like brother and sister, obviously its meant to be.”

I got a new hat today. I luuuurve it ^_^

Fable III……

I hate to say this, I feel like I’m such a traitor but…Meh.

Maybe I’m just bitter because I just saved the world on a shoe-string budget, killed off my favourite NPC and now my husband left me because apparently I don’t get to keep the castle at the end…Even though I’m the queen. Oh and, 98% of my citizens were killed off so no replacement husbands can be found.

The map drove me insane. You couldn’t navigate by it, you just got a basic idea of the location of places.

Combat was waaaay too easy in this one. I was knocked out 3 times. In the WHOLE game. In the previous 2 I actually gave up a few times because certain areas of combat were so hard.

Male NPCs…Not amazingly good looking. So husband hunting is not as enjoyable. They all look relatively the same.

Also, a lot of the side quests are lost on someone like me. I just can’t be full-blown evil, I’ve tried, I don’t enjoy one minute of it, so there go half the side quests. The morally good side quests are all a tad boring (some of them), so I don’t feel like doing them. I suppose, maybe later during the break, I’ll sit down and do them just cause I feel like fable 3 wasn’t as satisfying as the first or even the second.

Clothing-Not enough. I’m a girl, I like to play dress up. And while I do love corsets, they get boring after a bit.

They need to change how things alter your characters appearance. I spammed my magic and didn’t get any glowing tattoos!! But I was insanely tall because I used ranged attacks so much….Being 8 feet tall was kinda…Odd…I can see being slightly taller than everyone else, but by that much?

Oh, and I never got fat this time :D.

They kinda had a basic structure that’s been reused…every.freaking.game. 1)Adventure in Albion. 2)Fight gladiator style in a Colosseum type place. 3)Board boat to other side of world. 4) Fight a bit over there 5) discover final boss 6)go back to mainland 7)after a short bit, fight final boss.

It was sooooo predictable. I liked it in the second one cause there was such a gap between I and II, it was kinda a tribute to the first. But there’s only been a year between two and three.

The final boss…While a cool idea, I didn’t like how it wasn’t a villain I knew and worked against the whole game. You knew that in the second game. But in this, first it was the tyrant king, then you just randomly take up his fight with the Crawler, which was a very easy fight.

Also, I expected an epic battle when I overthrew the King. Not just him throwing down his sword and giving up quietly.

And the second half of the game: the whole ruling-the-kingdom idea was cool, but it was very black and white. You couldn’t kinda make a bargain or have any middle ground with those who raised concerns. I don’t think that’s asking too much.

The socializing bit: Touch=cool idea, but tedious at times. In the other fables, you could select from a variety of expressions to use. In this, you have good, bad and neutral and can only choose one from each of those sections at a time. I miss the expression wheel. Powering up expressions was a good idea, but I don’t have the patience to sit the for 5-10 minutes to build up a friendship. When you got to the love stage with an NPC, the date idea was cool. But the male NPC’s are such pushovers. Here’s an idea: NPC heroes. That way, they aren’t such pushovers…Or even, main character NPCs that you can hook up with, cause those guys kick butt!

Weapons: uh…wow. Boring much? You can no longer buy weapons, you just have them? Fable 1 had craploads of weapons to choose from and now you just get sword, hammer, rifle and pistol and then like four others you find. I want a battle axe or mace!! And I prefer the bows!

And I like to think I make a pretty decent fable wife/mother. I do it all…Kinda. My hubby is a big enough of a pushover, I don’t need to stay home to cook/clean and be…Whatever that stereotypical name is…_____ Homemaker or whatever.  Cause I go adventuring, he stays at home and takes care of my kids…Well, he should. But often times, I find him at the bar >.>…That’s why I abolished alcohol. Anyways, Robert (my husband who left me) and I have one kid, very cute little boy, then I adopt this adorable kid later on. I move them to the castle when I become queen then BAM! I LOST my adopted child, but it said he was still there…What the frak?? And they once again limited the number of kids I could have…

These are just my hater comments. I do love fable, but this felt like there wasn’t much that was new. I think they were banking on the idea that fable 2 would be so amazing that not much would need to be added. But I felt it was too quick/easy, but dragged on in places it shouldn’t.

There was a lot of good. The story line was kinda cool and how it was tied into the series made me happy. But I remember reading that it would access your fable 2 saved data and base your hero off of that. I was looking forward to that!!

And…I CAN’T MAKE IT TO DRIFTWOOD BECAUSE OF THE CRAP MAP!!

I also miss the kind of religious aspect…Donate at the temple of light OR sacrifice someone on the wheel of torture (gender blenders FTW!!)

This song means a lot to me. The weekend of my baptism, I listen to the Moby CD that this song is on, non-stop. After everything baptism-like, I was sitting at my table, reading my friends’ testimonies from the journal the missionaries gave me. This song came on and I just started crying because I was so amazingly happy.

Besides that, this song is just plain awesome ^^.
