Genesis 1:1

I thought Blogs were for girls, old people and married couples. I am neither. I also feel like I’m starring in that movie that just came out, “Julie and Julia”- who knows maybe I’ll strike gold with my blog, make a book or a movie out of it, I don’t know what it would be rated though.

“Hey are you in Provo? Smile”

“Who is this?”

“Oh…um its (name withheld) from stdev last semester”

“Oh, ha I’m not in Provo actually”

“Okay then, have a happy new year! You can delete my number again now. Smile”

That was just about as exciting as my New Years got.

Then there’s this other girl, let’s call her Lizzy (even though that is her real name). One of my roommates decided that he would go against everything I believe in and set me up on a blind date. Dating isn’t against my rules, blind dates are. She texts me, sends pictures of her and is actually related to a famous Mormon, But she also dated my roommate who has wears shirts that says, “Babe magnet”… so now what. How do you get out of a blind date?

I never believed in “Karma” until college started. Each semester I am assigned to live with a different roommate. Freshman year, my first roommate got braces so he wouldn’t have to go on his mission, my second roommate played Sudoku and the ocarina instead of attending his classes. This year I actually lucked out though, no Zelda instruments or violent sleep talking… however I can hear his personal prayers, should I tell him, or should I answer them?

I saved a person’s life today. I went into the library to use the Video Phone, but there was a deaf kid sitting there, asleep. I wondered if I should throw paper at him or nudge his arm, when all of a sudden the fire alarm starts blaring in my ear, not his because he’s deaf. I wondered if I should wake him up, or let him burn for hogging the Video Phone. I decided to give him one strike, and woke him up to tell him that the fire alarm was blaring and he would have three degree burns all over his body if he didn’t act now. We left, ventured out into safety within minutes, and walked away more appreciative for the sanctity of our lives. Even though it was only a drill, I don’t think the deaf kid knew that, so it still counts as a purple heart.
