i always thought you made a better door

than a window, but who am i to tell. i can hardly wait to pull this blindfold over my eyes.~airtight-so many dynamos

i went home this weekend, and had a great if not so restful time. pip and i went to see kung fu hustle, which of course was pips choice. it wasnt as bad as his normal ones are, i actually enjoyed it. the stuff was completely unrealistic, but that added a comedic tone to the movie. i wanted to see hitchhikers guide to the galaxy to see if its as good as the books, though ive never actually read the book, just listened to it on book on tape. but thats not pips kind of movie. any time u have to use your brain to get something hes out. haha. he got a 10 out of 150 on his research paper and the teacher wont let him redo it. thats like a .6 percent. he went from an A in the class to an F and probably cant bring it up. i started laughing which probably wasnt the best response, but then i changed it to outrage at the teacher to sympathize with him. empathy isnt one of my strong suits, but i can pull it out when i need to. i doubt i have any non-strengths, (weaknesses) because i am just amazing at everything. bow to me. if u want. maybe. gpa and gma came to eat with us and he is doing better than last time i was home. the surgery and sickness really took a lot out of him, but he was actually able to mow half their yard on saturday. he smiled a lot, which has been unusual for the past several months. hes not the kind of man to like being helpless in a bed. gma of course picks out his clothes to wear, has for years, and he wore this old buttondown shirt that was definitely from the seventies. there were some rainbow stripes and then stripes of this blue and white design. it was amazing. keith and i teased him about it. i think that might be the first time ive actually teased him, it felt kinda weird doing it and i prolly wont do it again.

david, do you have force powers. i didnt know if wizards passed on their genes to the future generations, because that would be amazing if you did. have you ever seen mall rats, the force is definitely strong in silent bob. but ud be a wizard and not a jedi, but u think a wizard could conjure up things like force powers. randy and i are nearly the same person, sort of...its kinda weird how many of the same strengths you share with others. i wonder if there is anyone who has all 5 of my strengths and in the same order. just thinking about it makes me feel inadequate. im not an individual like this culture has been telling me for nearly 21 years. i am not an original snowflake. i am the crap of the earth. sorry, fight club reference. i need to watch that movie again. its been almost a year i think. its beautiful, having brad pitt and edward norton. two of the hottest people on the planet in my opinion. today the kids performed a play for us at church. it took them 3 months to work on, but they did everything for it. even created the characters and wrote the script, which i found amazing. i definitely didnt have the creativity to do taht when i was 7 or 8. i guess theyre 9 or 10 now. lose track when u go away for college. mara recited a verse from luke 6 which says "blessed are you when men men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets." she went on to say that christ suffered and died and we will do the same when we live a gospel life. she said christ was rejected and beaten and we should expect that same treatment. all that from a 10 year old girl. wow.
