Here It Is!

Finally, the long awaited New Year's Resolution post. I know it's February, but this is my blog and I can do whatever I want of course.

1. Stop spelling out swears when I want to say them

2. Stop saying piss

3. Stop saying douche bag and douche canoe

4. Stop judging people

5. Write in my journal at least once a week, preferably more (in a word document)

6. Read more for fun

Ok, that's all (or at least all I can remember). You might think this is a sissy list, but I think these are important things. Ben inspired me to do a review of how well I'm doing once a month. Then I can remember. (By the way, if you're not a friend of Ben's, you should check out his blog anyway because it's pretty interesting).

1-3: I'm doing better. It's still hard when I'm angry or upset (especially while watching BYU screw up in sports), but it is getting a little better. Also, number 3 is particularly bad when I am ranting about guys. Go figure.

4: This one I'd forgotten about until about two weeks ago. Do you know how hard this is? Especially if you've made up your mind what you think of someone. I'm struggling here, but working.

5: Uh...I haven't done this at all. Starting off the year without a computer didn't help. Maybe it will happen. I hope so.

6: I am reading more for fun. It's still not a lot. My classes this semester are basically killing me, but I will hopefully survive. It doesn't leave a whole ton of time for reading, but I just bought some cute little editions of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and Wuthering Heights. They have those nice ribbon book marks in them that I love. Hopefully this will inspire me. Plus they're small so I could carry them around quite easily.

Ok world, that's all for today. I know you're all so excited to finally get to read this post. Sorry for the delay!

wanna hear a funny story? so last semester, my roommates and some of our fhe brothers wanted to watch youtube on my laptop, but they needed to know my password, so i said, "it's 'skadoosh.'" you know, from "kung fu panda"...if you've seen it. anyway, then one of my fhe brothers asked, "how do you spell that?" i really thought it was pretty easy to spell, so i looked at him and said, "you really don't know how to--it's s-k-a-doosh." of course, they all thought i mean, "douche." i had no idea why they were laughing until i realized what i'd said. haha.

Caroline, that's an excellent story. Sounds like something I would laugh at as well...or accidentally do.
