Quote

My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;

And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes. (D&C 121:7-8)

The best list I ever made

So, I am a perpetual list maker. I make lists of everything. Lists of what I need to do this week, a separate list for what I need to do today, another list of goals I have for church, another for songs I want to download, places I want to go, blogs to look at, movies to watch, recipes, clothes to buy, etc. You get the picture. I have these lists floating around in various places, and sometimes I lose track of them. I lived in NYC for four months this summer for an internship and I have to say I have never met so many bizarre people in my life. Today I found this list, and it totally made my day!

Weirdo's in New York:

  • Guy yelling to me and Louise: “I used to Hate women, but now I love em’!”
  • The random guy asking to take pictures of me for vogue and wanting to take me to the Hudson to catch “the perfect lighting,” only to find out his camera didn't actually work and my phone was conveniently out of battery. I think I narrowly escaped with my life on that one.  
  • Three black girls hitting on a guy with Asperger's syndrome on the subway
  • Crazy homeless man telling Eric he was gonna rip his head off
  • The guy with a giant sea urchin hanging from his nose in the subway. ???
  • The guy rapping really loud into his phone recorder.
  • The guy singing an apology voicemail to his girlfriend on the subway. After each recording he would stop, listen to it, erase it, and do it over again. He did this at least 5 times.
  • When I was at work one day I heard a lady saying over and over again, "Hello! Are you alive??! Hellooo??" Another coworker and I were completely curious and went outside to investigate. There on the sidewalk was a man who really looked like he was dead. We nudged him a little with our feet and he didn't budge a muscle, so we ran back inside and told our boss and she told us to call 911. When the cops arrived they looked at my coworker with disgust and said, "Why in the he** did you call us? It's just Louie!" Apparently this old homeless Louie made a habit out of getting completely drunk and passing out in the middle of the sidewalk during the middle of the day. How were we supposed to know it wasn't someone's grandpa that had a heart attack and died!?
  • During the (completely disgusting) gay parade one Sunday I got asked out for drinks by a guy while he was simultaneously trying to sell me metabolic enhancers.
  • When I went to see the midnight showing of Twilight, every time Jacob came on the screen a woman behind me would say, “Man, he’s got a big bellybutton, that boy has got a huge bellybutton!”
  • These people decked out in baby diapers and onesies. Unfortunately, this is the only weirdo picture I captured.


I love New York.

Horrible Bloggist

So....About 600,000,000 things have happened to me since the last time I blogged. I'm hoping to get all caught up before I leave on my mission on January 26th. I have a lot of free time right now living in Pittsburgh with my sister...but we'll see how much blogging I can get in with 3 kids trying to destroy all of my belongings 24/7 haha.

Peace.
