I think that this band is on to something...

As I sit here wasting time as I am prone to do (especially when I am off track), I have been listening the cd "Even If It Kills Me", by the Motion City Soundtrack. If you have not heard this cd, get it, it has turned into one of my top 5 favorite cds. In this day and age it's RARE to find a cd that you can listen to all the way through, and this is one of those. But I digress...

Any friend who knows me well knows that I often say the phrase "this song is so true". Well this song is no exception. I will try to link it in here but if that doesn't work (as is likely) here are the lyrics that really make an impression.

"I'll get lost, messed up and bored when I'm alone too long
I can't sleep, function or eat when I'm not with someone"  

"What if it was you?
You that I needed all along
I felt like a fool,
Kicking and screaming and pretending we were wrong"

"What a disaster it would be if you discovered that I cared
A little too much for friends but not enough to share"

  Don't you wish boys really felt that way... how cute is that ? Of course songs like that just make us hold on to those pathetic hopes we have that boys really do think things like that. So Motion City Soundtrack, please stop feeding into girls insane wishes... but go back to making cd's like this. Your newest is too angry and I don't enjoy it as much.

I think my life has reached a new low...

I have recently moved out ( I am 27 after all... it was more than time), so it was time to officially move my records to the ward I have been attending for the last 14 months. Then this happened...

On Sunday Rachel (a new roommate) and I went to new member meeting (which as a side note I find a complete inefficient use of time but that's another story). They make you sit in the big circle and introduce yourself, you know the drill. The person on your R had to ask you a question, so Rachel says "where do you like to travel ?". I know this is hard to believe but I storta froze b/c I couldn't think of what place I wanted to say. I am sure it was like 5 seconds but when you are in that situation you feel like it's 2 minutes b/c everyone is staring etc. So I went with " well my dream is to go to a Final Four game and see every baseball stadium in the country". To which some boy in the corner says "when you do that, will  you call me ?". I laugh and we go on.

I then look @ said boy and think "he's not too horrible, perhaps this can be my in". He then goes and says " I just got home from the Georgia Macon Mission". To which I think " of course you did, you are a baby". I then have to ask him a question (as he is sitting behind me on a table so I guess that was to my R). I say " is Statesboro in that mission (even though I already know it is) ?" and he replies "yes, it is".  I feel like that is a pretty random question to just ask so I follow it up with " I lived there for 6 months". A boy yells out " I think there is a connection going on, I sense a date". To which Mr. " I JUST got home" says (loudly, to this whole room) " well, yeah, she's kinda cute"

I then turn bright red while everyone else laughs nervously. So there you go, I am now getting shot down by boys a good 6 years younger then me... great..
