Fast Sunday

Today is Fast Sunday. The last fast Sunday I was sick so I didn't even go to church! I missed out. You never know where inspiration is going to strike! Like institute last Wednesday. Holy Cow. I had so many questions! And there were so many good comments made by other people it helps me remember why I love institute :) because my first semester of college my institute class was ok but the teacher was just not my favorite. Sometimes the right teacher makes all the difference. Also yesterday I went with my little brother, his friend Tyson, my dad and my home ward's bishop. They are great folks :) except john and Tyson kept trying to bike sandwich me :p they had to do 50 miles but I just went the first little bit with them and did 20 miles. It felt good to challenge myself like that! Some of the hills were rough though and bike seat make your butt hurt REALLY bad. Even if you get a super cushy gel seat it doesn't even matter. You still will feel like you have been riding a horse for 9 hours. Then I did the last 3 miles they had to do with them! If I had just done like 3 more yesterday I would have ultimately biked a marathon! That is my new goal. Biking a marathon.  

Sunday

Sunday's are the day's I feel the best about myself because I go to church and that's fo sho' where I need to be. Also it is like the only day of the week I ever get ready so I feel like compared to every other day of the week I probably look like a supermodel (ok probably not but there is a big difference trust me lol). It is just a good day! I get to see my pals, go home and make cookies and take them to people and stuff, and play board games. Rest, relax, rejuvenate, and focus on the things that matter and that are important. I love it :)

And Now You're Weird

I hate when you have a friend who is a guy and you have lots of fun together and stuff and then one day out of nowhere he is a complete weirdo. Allow me to elaborate. This kid and I have hung out numerous times and we have fun and stuff we aren't best friends of course because when guys and girls are best friends they fall in love and get married and stuff and yeah. Don't want that business. But anyway we were pretty good friends but I have noticed we can only be good friends if nobody is around. He is one of those people that if his other guy friends are around all of the sudden I don't exist. Like he has to put up a front or something. Is this kid a true friend? Probably not as much as I previously thought. Is he stupid? Yes. Am I that concerned about this? Not really lol. From now on I will just kindly ignore this kiddo. I feel it is nicer than other alternatives.

Parents

Today while on Facebook I saw an argument between a mother and her daughter. It was sickening. not just because they were publicly fighting on Facebook but because the level of immaturity of the daughter and ridiculous she was being to her mom was pretty much insane. Apparently she lied to her parents about where she was so they took away her car and she was like: this is so unfair! I hate you! You don't understand me! I made one mistake and you punish me! I can't wait to move out! Why don't you trust my friends nothing bad was going to happen! I wish you guys were more like friends instead of parents! I don't push you guys away you push me away! I wish I wasn't alive! One day you will see what you've done to me! For someone who thinks they are so mature and ready to be out on their own these are some really immature arguments. I totally understand where her parents are coming from. You lie you lose privileges that is just how it works. People like this that can say stuff like that to their parents make me sincerely hope they get a child JUST like them so they cans see exactly how hard they are to handle. Parenting is not easy. It is actually the main reason why I am nervous to have kids someday because every kid is different some things are effective for some kids and some aren't so you have to figure out each individual child's needs and attend to them as best you can while juggling a whole bunch of other things too. Also other people are very quick to judge you if your kid misbehaves. "She is a terrible mom because she can't control her kids. She needs to discipline them more". It is terrifying because you never stop worrying about them even when they are older because if you mess them up then they are gonna mess up their kids and then your whole family tree is ruined basically. I can just see all my ancestors watching me saying "Oh Ehrin! Way to go that kid is a menace to society!" I think a lot of people don't understand and probably won't until they have kids of their own.      

Life is Grand :)

Life is awesome these days. I am actively looking for a job who knows if I will ever find one. I got a shot today and took our car to the shop so the AC can be fixed. Its been a good day because I actually had something to do lol. I get really bored sitting around my house all day because I don't have a job and I  would really love one! I also ride my bike a lot these days and that is fantastic. The world should have a lot more bike riding. It would solve most major problems the world has! It would help people save money on gas and help the obese people get healthier. Yeah. More bikes sounds good to me. Oh! These bikes will probably need to have baskets because a: that way we can carry around small critters such as puppies, kittens, hedgehogs, and lizards around with us. b: room for pool accessories for when summer rolls around and you want to go to the pool. c: seriously baskets are necessary end of discussion.  

I Need...

I need a job I feel like I am wasting my life. I have filled out a zillion applications. I have also rode my bike around a lot for fun. And I went long boarding last night. Long boarding is LOTS more fun when you go with an attractive person ;)

I am Copying Lennyx :)

So like the title says I am copying my roommate Lennyx (soon to be ex-roommate after 2:00 today) and I am going to write down some things about my roommates and my first year of college and stuff lol.

Kelsey: Kelsey Steed was my first best friend at college. We would have special talk time and have cereal parties. She was always my "awkward buffer" when I got invited to go on a date with a weird guy or invited to hang out with a weird guy lol. I am seriously so grateful for that. Without her a I may have gotten kidnapped that one time in that one kids apartment when we made those one cinnamon rolls ;) hahaha! We would talk about the people that bugged us the people we liked and the people we thought were insanely attractive!! Sometimes our RA Sierra Gish (a.k.a best RA ever) would join us :) we made mini smores with skewers out in front of Juniper because candles were not allowed inside. We took pictures around campus. I went to QSA with her a couple times and she came to basketball games with me a couple times. We went to the howl together and watched in horrer at how the other were dancing around us. We watched Epic Mealtime and had cooking adventures. We have never even had a fight except for that one time whenI logicized her into submission. Oh. Excpet for that one time when I punched her with my boxer knuckles and she sat on me lol.
Denise: Denise Lorenzo is hilarious. She doesn't realize it a lot of the time but she really is lol. She is a sorority girl and she straightens her hair just about everyday. Some people call her Dora as in Dora the Explorer. She is scrappy and does not take crap from anybody but is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. She is also smarter in the mornings aparently lol. She works hard in everything she does because Y.O.L.O. is her motto lol. She is one of those people that is always there to pick you up when you fall and I love her :)
Sarah: Nanna Syrup haha! Sarah is definitely one of the people I am glad to have met this year. She has helped me grow up and realize how to be considerate of other people without being a total pushover. She is just cute little Surrah Bell :) whenever she is making something in the kitchen that actually requires cooking she shouts out "Look at me being all domestic!!" haha. She is a friend to everyone and is one of those people that helps you se both sides of the situtation. She knows when to help people and when to just let them do their own thing and make their own choices. She is going to be an awesome mom :) My favorite memory's of Sarah are her laughing so hard that she is laying on the floor and that one time when we were painting the walls in Juniper and their was a cat in their dorm room. Or the time we went and looked at Christmas lights and then came home and read the book "Snow" by Dr. Suess. That was definitely the naughtiest childrens book in the world lol.
Kamille: Kimille Lundeberg is one of the coolest people I know. She is not afraid to be messy and have fun and she doesn't care who sees. She has so much confidence! She is also a great dancer. I probably won't ever forget the red bull dance we went to at the school or that one night when we made mint brownies and sang into our spatula's and tried to learn how to do the spongebob in our teeny kitchen. I appreciate her letting us use her computer when we all watched movies. It was also really fun making her a birthday cake! And the time we went to Sand Hollow was way fun too even though we both got sunburnt because of my lousy spray on sunscreen blew away in the wind. (Sorry bout that lol). If it weren't for her we probably would have never had people ever come over to our apartment. She's a prankster and she snorts when she laughs and I am going to miss her :)
Lennyx: Lennyx Hatch. Wow. Where to begin? I remember finding out she was going to be my roommate last summer and thinking "She has to be cool. What kind of un-cool person would have such a cool name?" I also remember when became friends on facebook and then her boyfriend friended me right after like a creep ;) haha jk Ryan is totally cool also! We are in my opinion probably the perfect roommates for eachother. We both like to do the same things like workout and talk about food and nutrition and be outside. We also both like to go to bed early. She has helped me grow so much as a person both physically when we go rock climbing or go to the aerobics classes. And spiritually when she would ask me questions about church and why things were the way they were. I love the way she sings when she makes food like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She has awesome style and I am very thankful she gave me some of the clothes she did not want anymore! lol She is always up for adventures and we have definitely shared some delicious meals! Especially breakfast it is both of out favorite meals lol. I am definitely going to miss her a ton and I hope she does well at Weber next year doing Dental Hygiene and Nutrition! I am going to miss watching How I Met Your Mother as our pre-workout ritual.
