I'm Not Imaginary!

Do you ever those days when you just don't want to go to church, but you know you should, so you go anyway, and it turns out it was a good thing you went?
Yep, I had one of those days, and I'm really glad I went to church.  If only to prove I'm not imaginary. ;)  See, my friend Mari has a sister that goes to school in another state, so she rarely visits.  Last time she visited I wasn't at church, so even though Mari told her about me, we didn't meet.  Well, she visited today again, and I just didn't want to go to church (I'd subbed at the home ward as librarian, since Mom is still in New York), but I figured I probably should go to my own ward.  I ended up not sitting with Mari during sacrament meeting, and but she was with her sister.  When I didn't show up, her sister joked that I was imaginary.  But then I sat with them in Sunday School, and it was all cleared up.
In all seriousness, though, church was amazing.  I'm really glad I went.  Like I knew I would.

Fare thee well, friend!

A Second Lesson

You know, you'd think I'd learn my lesson.  I should learn to get the idea the first time.  But no, once again I decided to write outside in the sun.  Meaning I now have a sunburn.  A rather painful sunburn.  It's even on the tops of my feet (I wasn't wearing socks)! 
I think part of it has to do with the fact that my family is all red-headed.  There are ten in my family, eight children, and of those eight children, only three are brunettes.  The rest are all some form of red-head.  And from what I've heard, red-heads burn easier than most.  I think somehow I got "burn easily" gene even though I'm not a red-head.
Really annoying.  And painful.

Fare thee well, friend!

Clingy Kitty

Wow.  Turns out that Merida is really clingy when there's only one of us at home.  Remember how Mia is in New York this week?  Well, Mom and Dad planned a vacation in New York for everyone else around it.  Except, with finals coming up, I wasn't able to go.  Just me and my kitty at home now.  And she is starving for attention.
It certainly doesn't help that I'm at school most of the day.  When I get home, she desperately wants my attention, rubbing up against my legs and meowing super loud.  Poor kitty, she gets so lonely over all on her own.  ;)  I love this kitty-cat.

Fare thee well, friend!

Guys Playing Girls

O.o 
o.O
This is weird.  I'm watching Hamlet for my Shakespeare class, and you know how guys used to play girls?  Yeah, it's really weird.  It's is ridiculously strange to hear a guys voice coming from someone who is supposed to be a woman.  No wonder they preferred to have boys who hadn't hit puberty play the women.  Adult men just can't pull it off all that well.

Fare thee well, friend!

Alone...

This year my high school's choir was given a great honor.  They were invited to sing at Carnegie Hall in New York City!
Carnegie Hall.
In NEW YORK! 
And I can't go.  Why not?  I'm not in high school anymore!  My sister Mia, on the other hand, has the opportunity to go.  Am I jealous.  Very.  Not only is she in New York, but she's enjoying a thunderstorm!  I love thunderstorms, but we never get them at home (that's one of the reasons I love Florida so much: epic thunderstorms!)! 
But honestly, more than jealous, I'm feeling a bit lonely.  Mia and I have shared a room for years.  Now I'm the only one... There's no one to talk to before bed... I'm really kind of weirded out by this.  Of course, I'm planning on London next year, so I suppose I deserve it. ;) 

Fare thee well, friend!

Cuddles

I was beginning to think Merida, my kitty, hated me.  She's been sleeping all over the house lately, and didn't seem very interested at all in coming back to the bedroom.  I was okay with that, I guess, but I missed her cuddling.  She's the kind of cat that is never very all that interested in cuddling. 
I don't know what happened last night.
She was in the windowsill while I was getting read for bed (she likes to stare outside, since she's not really allowed outside), and then by the time I was ready to hop into bed, she was hogging my blankets.  So I moved her, being the selfish being that I am, and deposited her on the side of the bed closest to the wall.  I expected her to go off in a huff, like usual, but instead she just... snuggled.  Which never happens.
Then today, when I got home from work, she came and rubbed up against my legs until I cuddled with her again.
What has happened to my cat?
Not that I mind.  I enjoy cuddling with my kitty. 

Fare thee well, friend!
