I'm way kray!

KRAY: CRAZY!

Thank you Pono Santos for the inspiration for the title of this blog :P (lets just say that insanely impulsive frisbee defense playing, writing 21 page papers, and general quirkyness have merited a special place in this amazing woman's heart, and I feel really unique and lucky to be thurrr... also I'm pretty sure I get her to say "Imma cut you" more than many people in the world could :P :D :P)


It's kinda late... considering I have work in a few hours, but I'm super wired, and like so many things are going on in my head right about now... Let us list... and maybe elaborate on a few?
1)   I love frisbee... we played today, it was fantastic (I'm getting better at playing offense! but don't worry, I'm   staying true to my defensive roots!!! :P)
2)  I started a countdown on my phone last week counting down the days until Monday August 27th 2012 (when I can turn in my mission paperssss! There are currently 440 days left until I can submit those babies, and thats 63 weeks minus one day! I was thinking first about 440 things I want to do before I turn in my papers... and then was like Woahhh snap girl, that is kinda a lot of janx to do! so then I decided to go with 63, that involves memorizing (and internalizing) some hymns, scriptures, and such as, reading a few books, becoming an EFY counselor, attaining a certain number of volunteer hours at the Utah State Hospital, etc.... I don't think I quite made it to 63, but dang, I've got a lot of plans!
3)  I've found that in like ALLL of the craziness life's been blessing me with, that something is like missing kind of... I'm not sure how to explain it, but its like this teenage angst almost, like I'm missing something that I can't explain. Last time I realized I was missing something it was like... after I had it in my life for a bit; like I had electricity and light bulbs, but someone had to give me a light switch, and then I had to find the courage to use it, and I didn't realize until after I'd turned on the lights that I'd been chilling in the dark.... It's like that, except I feel like I'm kinda in that "in the dark" place, even though I know how to (and am successfully) using my light switch... maybe after that missing thing comes into my life I'll figure out a less nebulous metaphor?
4)   I've been thinking about the bakery a LOT, prolly cuz I'm there 6 days a week, and making all the rice krispies for BYU is a bit taxing on the brain... anyway I realized that as much as I love my job (like I do love what I do, I mean management isn't always the best, but like, I LOVE making stuff, and that's kinda what counts when all the fluff in life is boiled out... anyway, yeah) I was thinking about that, and how in a couple years (most likely after the mish, but maybe before?) I'm going to be working at a place that I'm going to LOVE even more, like there are going to be so many opportunities as I'm learning more in school, and growing further and further away from my birth date.... kray huh?

yeah, so midnight ramblings... (summary of thoughts?:)
I'm going to be on a cruise in a couple of days!!
Spring Term is OVERRRRRR (almost)
I have the most AMAZING friends in the world.
I'm the luckiest person I've ever had the chance to meet.
I love writing... and writing small if it is on paper
Hearts rock the world
Baking is the BEST
oh yeah
and
I'm
WAY KRAY!

:D God is great, life is good and people are kray (in the best possible way!)

The Church is True!

"You clean up well"

First of all BESTEST 63 word sentence EVERRR:
"While according to psychological studies and gospel principals, instituting an organization based on the eradication of ignorance, and the importance of building a secure foundation of chastity, charity, and compassion, seems to be a logical and excellent idea; unfortunately, for any group of humans living in the world, logical ideas cannot entertain all of the irrational imperfections received from the affliction of mortality."

okay, so I am REALLY enjoying writing this 20 page monstrosity of a paper (mind you it's like 20 pages of body, not including the title page, T.O.C., abstract and references)... anyway I'm serriously enjoying this way too much... well maybe enjoying isn't the bestest description ever, but I am kindof really satisfied with the work I've
put into it.

p.s. I received one of the, to me personally, best compliments ever the other day about my writing... (b/c if any of you know my workkk, it's usually like super Heather-y in tone/voice and such as), but anyway, after reading an opinion piece of mine (super heather-y voice), a rhetorical analysis (kind of bored voice), and my old literature review from Psych 303 (basically a research paper, definitely a more academic voice), and now my super-organized-but-not-fantastic-yet-draft of my current research paper, Aimee (my awesome teacher whom I adore) said to me "Heather... I don't know how else to say this, but you clean up well." hahaha I LOVE IT, she hoped i wasn't offended, but for realziez, love, so much love, I am in love with how in love I've become with writing again... it's like... a relationship that is killer, because there is so much tension and problems, that you have to leave, but then come back to with so much knowledge of how to react to conflicts, as well as so much more personal growth, that a little spark of passion creates a forest fire of motivation to take yourself to the next level.

It really is... special to say the least.

Anyways, God is great, life is good, and people are crazaaayyyy! (in the best possible way of course)

The church is true, and I'm so impressed how every day a deeper understanding of the Atonement can bring me closer to Jesus Christ and my Heavenly Father and how much joy and light that brings into my life. I am surrounded by SO many beautiful, wonderful radiating examples of genuine love, that it surprises me every single day without fail.

Also, it is kind of really awesome that comfort can be found amongst all of the anxiety and whirlwind of to do lists filled with: assignments, tests, laundry, ward activities, WORKKK, volunteering and all that crazy janx. There is always, ALWAYS comfort to be found from Jesus Christ. aaaa-men


Wow, I was so not expecting this post to turn into what it has.. lol but anyways again....
Peace, Love and Happiness :D
