Life with Character

It just now sets in that President Gordon B. Hinckley–my prophet–is gone. Well, it really set in during Seminary as we sang “We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet.” My class is normally extremely good at singing, but today none of us, no matter how hard we tried, could keep a pitch, as choked up as we were. Instead of normal lessons, we spent almost the entire time talking about President Hinckley. I didn’t know him as well as I should, but I always remember his sense of humor, at least, and how well he could connect with the youth of not only the LDS church, but the entire world. I love seeing pictures of him with the cane his doctor ordered him to use, carrying and waving it around rather than leaning on it.

So, here I am at BPA…It’s not as exciting, or as organized, as I thought it’d be. Seriously. For a BUSINESS competition, this place is insanely disorganized! And, really, I have almost no reason to be here at the moment since I already did my events, Fundamental Accounting (Ugh…) and Fundamentals of XHTML. I think my biggest problem with it is that I’m in a dress. Mostly, it’s because I was in a dress before the sun even rose. There is something wrong with any day that requires the wearing of a dress. >>’

Anyway, I’ve been sitting here for hours waiting for the award ceremony. During that time, I at least got to work on my forum. I had to completely delete and reinstall it last night due to an SQL error and just barely got the categories and forums in it up. There’s really not much there, but now I can at least open the link to it on the main site.

Once again, I’ve found a new obsession. Okay, not a big one. More of a passing fancy, I guess. One Sentence. It’s a website for true stories told in one sentence. Most are mind-bogglingly depressing, but so well-written you just have to come back to read more.

 Alright, there’s my plug for the day.

Yeah, I’m still alive. Sorry! Once again, my life has been eaten by various forms of entertainment. For instance, I got a Wii for Christmas! That should be excuse enough, right?

 Alright, so I’ve been sluffing working on my website. Now, however, seems like an awesome time to be working though! I’m currrently sitting in homework club at school–although I don’t need to be, mind you–and I can amazingly enough get to my website from here! Unfortuately, it’s only a matter of time before they attempt to block my website at school for no good reason and any sort of access to it. Hopefully, when and if that happens, I’ll be able to persuade them otherwise.

Anyway, today’s the big year! This year I’m going to try my hardest to edit and finish Forsaken Game. At the moment, I’m working on Chapter Five, Melancholy. For the longest time, I almost completely forgot about what was going on in the chapter and it was very close to sinking into infamy. Now, luckily, we’ve got a pretty decent idea of what it is.
