Top 3 things I miss from home

Going to School is nice, but every so often I come home and I when I get back to school I start to miss things. So here are the top 3 things I miss from home.

1. My bed.

My bed is freaking amazing. When I lay down for the night it's like I've entered this feathered queen size cocoon that magically coddles me to sleep. Needless to say my school mattress is like a I'm sleeping in a lightly padded ditch that squeaks with every turn I make.

2. The cooking

I know that sounds very typical of any college student but it sure is nice having a pantry full of food that I can snack on whenever I want, and to have a mother and father that will cook for me occasionally  So I guess with the cooking my family comes along too. If not because they are the ones that cook, but because I do love my family. At school my cooking is not all that bad, but I hate shopping so much that near the end when I have no food I have to get really creative with the meals I produce.

3. The temperature of the house. My apartment is not really cold at this moment in life, but once winter comes in with all it's snow fury I know that my apartment will be kept on the cold side. That will make me bed down in my lightly padded ditch for my winter season hibernation. Well there you have it the top 3 well almost 4 things I miss from home, but as I always say life goes on.

unavoidably human

I would have to say that most of us go through life hoping to be A) noticed or B) unnoticed. We're all hoping that be noticed when we look like this 

But unavoidably we are only noticed when we look like this

Of course there's always the factor that we hope to be noticed by this guy

But are only pursued by this

I know this rings true for me and how my life typically works out. Of course it doesn't matter how we're noticed after a while because we get passed our prime and I know when that happens everything's coming loose and you know what, life goes on.

Crap.

Have you ever been watching something and thought, this is crap, but kept watching? I mean it isn't crap because it was risque but because the acting is sub-par, the plot is weak and the whole show is just ridiculous. I guess I just described every show on television, maybe that's why I keep watching. There's just nothing more out there and I have conformed into the mindless viewer producers dream about. Well, that ends now my friends. I am taking a fast from crappy television. Of course if I fail, life goes on.

Oh my goat I want to throw up

It's high time I let go of facebook so I don't have to face the reality of my age. I realize that at the age of 20 I am still young and am no dried up California raisin,  but it's still hard to feel too young when the girl I sat next to high school is now pregnant with her firstborn. Great Gatsby! Married and Pregnant a mere two years after graduation! This is quite a blow to my concept of age. Then of course the marriages. As predicted more people, excuse me, girls of my graduating class have become engaged this summer. I guess that's life though, and as I always say life goes on.

Top three ways to further anger an irate person

1. Asking "What's wrong?" when the person clearly does not want to talk about it.

This one can be a little hard to detect unless you know the person well. Still, there are a few signs that can be seen in a lot of people. One of these signs is the hostile eyes. A person who does not want anyone to talk to them will have a angry look in their eyes that seems to say I dare you to talk, and if you do it will be your last words. Yeah, someone who is seeking someone to ask what's wrong doesn't look like that; they more have a pleading look that is seeking for anyone to rant all their problems to.

2. Seeking to fix the problem before the person is ready to calm down, especially if you are the problem.

If someone has been shooting flames out of their eyes in your direction all day it probably is not the best idea to talk to them quite yet, unless you're prepared for a) a lot of shouting and profanities or b) a response that sweeps over the problem and further angers the person in question. It's true you should probably try and see what the problem is if it concerns you personally, but be sure you choose a good time. The the best time to talk to someone is when you first see them the next time because you don't have the chance to do anything that would annoy them yet.

3. Assuming know exactly why the persons mad and telling them they are angry when they are not.

When asking someone why they are angry when they are not angry, the person may become mad. It is best not to assume you know what someone is feeling when it is not blatantly obvious because a) the person is really fine and not upset in anyway or b) the person was trying to hide the emotion which means they do not want to talk about it, which leads to point 1.


These are all just mild observations so it could not be true for everyone. Just keep it in mind you are dealing with someone who may or may not be upset. Of course if you forget, life goes on.

A sea of matrimony

For Lent I gave up facebook. On Easter night I signed back in. I innocently looked at the events I had been invited into and I will never be the same. There were 7 weddings that I was invited to, all of which are to take place this summer. 7 weddings. All of them I was connected to through the bride each of whom are my age, the ripe old age of 20. 7 weddings, 7 brides, leaving me as the president of the spinsters club. 7 weddings and these are not even counting the 2 possibly 3 that are happening this summer within my extended family and 4 other weddings of other acquaintances and friends of mine. That makes the total to possibly 14 weddings and this is not even counting the other engagements that are likely to happen as soon as the semester ends. I cannot believe it, I am drowning in a sea of marriage, relationships, and engagements. But that doesn't matter and my life goes on.

I guess I still provide entertainment

I was sitting in institute and my teacher asked how our relationship with Christ was different between when you were in primary and now. All I could think was that when I was in primary I use to tell jokes when I prayed. I don't do that anymore, I guess I figured that whenever God needs a laugh He can just take a look at my life.Not that my life is a joke, things are actually pretty good right now, in fact it's kind of boring. I better tell a joke when I pray next so God doesn't get any ideas. I mean I have no doubt that He has an excellent sense of humor it's just sometimes I don't always get the humor immediately when He tells a joke, but I do always laugh afterwards. You know what it's all good, some humor could be nice and regardless, life goes on.
