faces

Sometimes it is funny to look in the mirror and pull faces until you can't even recognize yourself and then contemplate what life would be like if you actually looked like that. Then it's also fun to create a personality for the various faces that you make.

Vacuums

When I'm vacuuming with a hose I can't help but suck up things that aren't mean to be sucked up by vacuums. I do this solely for entertainment. I've always done it. Sometimes you get the hose clogged and you have to fish it out with a hanger or something. Just barely I couldn't resist sticking the hose into a box of baking soda. It made a small windstorm.

packaged up

Like the hot-headed fury that smashed white knuckles against a two-toned gray frustration that comes from inconsistency. Just work, damn it.

Attach

Sometimes I can get really attached to people I don't even know that well. Sometimes I don't feel any attachment at all to people I know really really well. I don't understand this.

"I don't care what they say," he thought fiercely, and his vision
blurred as he flew out toward the Far Cliffs. "There's so much more to
flying than just flapping around from place to place! A... a... mosquito
does that! One little barrel roll around the Elder Gull, just for fun, and
I'm Outcast! Are they blind? Can't they see? Can't they think of the glory
that it'll be when we really learn to fly?
"I don't care what they think. I'll show them what flying is! I'll be
pure Outlaw, if that's the way they want it. And I'll make them so
sorry..."
The voice came inside his own head, and though it was very gentle, it
startled him so much that he faltered and stumbled in the air.
"Don't be harsh on them, Fletcher Seagull. In casting you out, the
other gulls have only hurt themselves, and one day they will know this,
and one day they will see what you see. Forgive them, and help them to
understand."

people

When someone invites me to hang out, I usually care more about what people I will be with more than I care about what we're doing. In fact, most of the time I don't care at all what we are doing, but how much I want to go depends on how much I like the people.

a scene that would only take place in the BYU dorms

Every Sunday morning the first counselor in the Elder's Quorum Presidency goes around to every door at 8:30 and wakes everyone up if they're not already awake and then tells them "Half hour 'til church." Today at 8:30 I had already showered and I was standing there wearing only my gym shorts and my white collared shirt and my hair was still wet and the parts that were dry were sticking out very frizzily. The first counselor walked in and saw me and said, "Yeaaaaaaaahhh" and then he might have said "that's what I'm talking about" but I don't remember for sure, but I think he did. Then he said, "You look sharp." In my head I said, "No I don't."
