So what

So basically it's been a long time since i've written. Life is going by pretty freaking fast and crazy. I can't really explain anything, or why it is as it is. Oh well.

Catch up:

Still don't know what i'm going to do with my life. I was at my parents house this past Sunday, and had everyone asking me what i'm going to do with my life. Heck if I know. And of course when everyone, oh yeah everyone consists of: Mom, Dad, Grandma, Aunt, Uncle, Sister....is asking what you're going to do, they give their advice too. Basically what it comes down to, is probably just me majoring in Spanish and doing something with my life that i don't know. So if anyone has any bright ideas at what i should do, let me know k?

Weddings. I've gone to one, and there will be 2 more done by this weekend. I have one today, Blake Ross, and one on Saturday, Ace Stryker. It's crazy. I still can't fathom Mike and Jake getting married. I guess its just that time of life right?

Stuff: I went on a river trip a week ago. River Rafting for a week, seriously amazing. It's the second year in a row i've done it. I am pretty sure it will become a yearly thing. My roommate Mike was telling me how it just helps him relax, and it's his power-charging trip for the year. I think it's going to have the same affect on me as well. It was so nice to just relax, and not worry about anything at all. Fabulousness.

Right now it is 3:24 am. I am at work right now, taking calls from Spain....basically (i use that word alot) i get paid $16.93 for doing nothing. Can't complain.

I don't really know what else to write about. Thats it for now...life is about the same as usual. Only i am kind of dating a girl right now. But i learned from past experiences that writing details isn't a good thing cuz people get the wrong idea and i never hear the end of it....so if you want to know details, you'll have to ask :)

That is all. Have fun not reading more :)

Stepping Out

No, not out of the closet. But a bubble. What kind of bubble? Well i guess there aren't many bubbles you can step out of. I know that I actually am a pretty social person, but i'm not usually one to actually make an effort to make friends. It just sort of happens for me. I think other people just automatically sense that i'm a friendly person and that they can talk to me, and even share things with me. It's kind of uncanny how people seriously just randomly open up to me. I don't mind it at all, i think it's just one of the talents the Lord has given me. So anyway, the reason i'm even talking about this....
Tonight we had a ward activity. We went up the canyon to a park, and made tinfoil dinners and just played outdoors games and stuff. Since it is spring/summer term right now, basically Summer Semester, and there is like no one around, the stake joined our ward with another ward. Since our ward is mostly full of people that are already working in a career or older and more established, they thought the other ward would be way small and joining it with ours would make things nice. Well, the other ward anticipated only having at maximum like 50 people there for this coming semester, but it really turned out they have a huge ward still. So joined with our ward, now the combined ward is extremely massive, thus making it even harder to get to know people. So anyway, tonight at our ward party i kind of made it a point to try and get to know some of the people there. I mean i honestly still don't know even half the people in my own ward, but i guess you can never really get to know everyone. So tonight i just really thought, you know, i have no reason to not make friends with other people. We were playing Frisbee, and had been playing like seriously over an hour or so, even longer than that, so i got pretty tired. I went over to get some water, there was none, and there was a girl sitting there just watching people play so i went and sat down and started talking to her. She wasn't really my type, and when i realized that...i guess you could say my normal reaction would be to kind of break away and go play again, or distract myself....probably not right or a good thing? I don't know. But i decided to just sit down and talk to her. Who doesn't like to sit and talk with a new friend right? Basically she just opened up to me. Even she was like "i don't know why i'm telling you all this stuff." Kind of validated my knowledge of how easy it is for people to trust me. I could probably get into trouble, and abuse this gift i have, but I use it wisely and i enjoy being a person people confide in. So anyway, now when i'm at church and i see her, i will be able to say "Hi Laura, how are you doing?" And she will feel happy because we are friends now. I also made another friend, Emily, while we were eating dinner. She's pretty cool, and she brought her dog with her, which made an easy in cuz i love dogs. She, i normally would take interest in, but she may have come along to late..... I will keep you in suspense. Just know for now that there is a girl named Allison, and she is amazing! :)

Being Human!!

Whoever put it in their head that it is a good idea for people to have to work on Saturday, should be punished to full extent. I do realize that many places, such as food places, retail stores, and certain businesses do their best on weekends. However, I work in a call center with many other people as well. Ask me, is the call center EVER busy on a Saturday? Generally no! Sure it gets busy sometimes, but that's rare and hardly merits me to work on a Saturday. Of course the gracious company i work for, decided that if you work after 2 YEARS for the company, IN the call center, only THEN would you have the opt out of working Saturdays. I suppose this is a pretty fair deal considering it IS a good company to work for, and they do pay well. But honestly....most people don't even last here beyond a year.

Many times I've debated on quitting my job and finding something else more exciting and unboring. The only thing that stops me is the money i make here, and some of the benefits. If it weren't for that, I'm sure i would have quit long ago. Apart from the benefits, lets be honest. How FUN is a job where i sit on my butt all day answering phone calls from people who most likely aren't going to have ANY idea what they want or what's going. "I've been a distributor for 12 years, but can you explain to me how to use my ADR points?!?!" GET WITH THE PROGRAM!! If you are going to do a business, you should understand what's going on! If you are going to buy products, having a monthly order, DO NOT call me and tell me "i didn't know my order was automatic!" or "You sent me products i never ordered!" First of all, I DON'T send you orders, you send yourself orders! The Distribution Center sends you orders. If you are going to be on an automatic ordering program, UNDERSTAND what the word AUTOMATIC means! I do realize that if you are new to the company that things need explaining, and I'd be more than happy to help you understand these simple things. Just don't make it harder than it needs to be! I'm a person too! I have needs just as well as you do. Everyone makes mistakes and knows they need to improve on certain things, but at the same time we need to learn to deal with circumstances, that even though truly may not have been our fault, with ease and patience. What's the point of causing your Aortic Artery to explode because there is so much blood pumping to your brain from you're ridiculous, unnecessary, ranting and raving. The truth is, i do like my job. I was reminded at how good of a job i have last Tuesday at our company party. I just truly wish the people in the world would get a clue and figure out how to function as a normal human being. It really is not that hard.

OK well enough of my ranting now about my fabulous job. I saw the movie I Am Legend yesterday. I went in kind of knowing what it was more or less about, but still it was a REALLY good movie. Will Smith really is such an awesome actor. I hate when people diss on an actor because of maybe one movie they did way back in the day, or a TV show they starred in that was amazing in the 90's. Anyone that has watched any kind of tense movie with me, knows I'm a jumper. But hey, isn't that the purpose of the director? He did his job, and that's that. Overall i give I Am Legend 4 stars, out of 5. The only thing it really lacked was more of an explanation of how the situation we were presented came to be.

I work til 5:15. Hopefully i can get off early. That is all.
