so this week me and my roomie Caroline are going without facebook! In a way its a really good thing but the thing is, i think i will still get around it. I mean it wont phase me at all really cuz i still have youtube and i have this. so really i dont think it will do as much good as it should. But i guess it still is good. At least this is almost like a journal entry right? :) so at least its sorta productive.
This whole thing came about because of Elder Olsen's talk that he gave at our fireside last night. It was all about how technologically plugged in we and how we dont ever take the time to just sit in silence. I actually do do that sometimes. I love to go on walks and just think. Its sorta like my quiet time :) but anyway so we are not going on fb this week and we are even going to try a day of no cell phones or at least no texting. We were initially just going to turn them off for a day but then we figured, What if there was an emergency of some sort or another. That wouldnt be good. But im not sure if we will do the no phones thing. We will see.

school activity & stupid boys
So i went to this "speed dating thing" with my friends Jacob and Aaron. It was pretty cool. The most interesting people i met were 2 guys from asia and 2 guys from New Zealand. After ward we had banana splits which were awesome! Ive been craving ice cream for like ever but i didnt wanna buy any cuz its to expensive and i dont have money. So it was definitely a blessing :D Then i met this guy Joseph and he was really cool. Super sweet and very spiritual. Physically less appealing but so nice. He was really genuine as well. So i was feeling good after ward, happy and then Jacob and Aaron had to kill it for me. I was already tired but Jacob asked if id like to watch an episode of a show with him so i agreed but i went home to change first. I came back and they were gone. Tempted to just go home i txt Jacob asking where he was at. He was at the front Bus stop house and invited me over. We sat talking to Andrea for like 45mins. I was not in the best mood. Then finally we left and went back to Jakes and Aarons. They have this little coffee table at their place and it was pushed against the couch so i started moving it and just as i got it moved Aaron jumps on the couch and stretches across it. So i sit on the other couch. Jacob gets his laptop and moves the coffee table over to where we're sitting and looks online for a tv show of some sort. I was expecting Supernatural or Big Bang Theory like usual but no. The first thing he pulls up is Family Guy. I ABHOR that show!!! Its stupid and dirty and i hate it! I hate all the sexual innuendos & jokes, the cussing, and the lack of morals. Thats whats wrong with America! I didnt say this though. I just asked Family Guy?! and he caught on and asked what you dont like Family Guy. I told him no! but he just said well we will watch some of it and then if it gets kinda bad then well watch something else. Funny thing, we werent even watching it for 2minutes before he decided to change it because it was horrible although he was laughing. Then Aaron comes up with the idea to watch this movie Grown Ups or something like that with Adam Sandler. Inmy head i was thinking Great a movie and Adam Sandler. He can be funny but a lot of his movies are gross and perverted. The plot line of the movie wasnt bad but they threw in so much crap that was not needed. And of course the boys had to laugh at almost all the perverted parts. I didnt realize before then how base both of them were. It was disappointing and it just placed me in an even worse bad mood. And the marriages and the family life of all of them was just horrible! Those werent even marriages! How could you call such belittling and everything else a marriage?! And the little perverted boys! It just made me really mad and sad and upset. I was ready to go home. Unfortunately Maddie came over and a conversation started up. Maddie's great. Shes really sweet but at 12:30am! Luckily there was a break in the conversation at which time i excused myself and went home. Just the contrast between how sweet and pure and spiritual Joseph was to how carnal and base Jacob and Aaron were was shocking! It was so horrible! Its definitely given me a lot to think about. I mean i came to a church school to get away from all that crap! I was sick of hearing all the swearing, all the sexual connotations, jokes and everything else, and all the base and disrespectful stuff that i had to go to high school with and knew that would exist if i went to a regular college. Here it really isnt bad at all. Actually its fantastic but i hate that even some of my friends now act that same way. Its really disappointing. Its no wonder Jacob is 26 and single and Aaron like 25. Theyre both still super immature!
