Mostly I just want to say that people judge too much. And jump to conclusions too much. What may be easy for you, could be like climbing a mountain to some one else. A big mountain, like Everest. So don't just assume that some one can just change because you say "It's easy" or "Just do it" or "Well, you have to" Because no, they don't. Let them do it in their own way in their own time. Like Sister Hansma said in the Family History Library "Anything that's worth while takes time." So there.
And back to the judging thing... if you don't know the details, or especially if you don't know the person, don't judge. I mean, sometimes don't you ever do anything you might be ashamed of. It doesn't mean you're a bad person and in the end you don't have the same goals as everyone else. It just means you messed up. But that's the great thing about the atonement is it lets you get back up and keep progressing and moving forward. you don't know what that person's situation is. What they've done, what they're doing, etc, and you don't need to know. Especially if you aren't very close to them. What you can do is show love and support. Just live how you know you're supposed to and trust in the Lord. this isn't coming out how I want it to. My point is not to judge. Don't think you know better or what is supposed to happen or ... ugh hopefully from my scattered thoughts you can pick up why you shouldn't judge. I'll try to explain more but I've never been great at explaining things.
Every one's situation is unique to themselves. I think that's a way Heavenly Father shows his love for us is by giving us all trials and tribulations that are for us. Like he wasn't just like "I'll give Asia a problem with porn and America a problem with coveting." No he went with each of us and gave us what it was we could each handle and trials that could bring us closer to him individually. I think it's amazing. That's a lot of people.
There maybe that's why you should just love others and not judge. And if you are judging maybe you should pray for help to stop and stop talking condesendingly (?) to me about who you are judging because quite frankly I'm sick of it. And the end.
This is my life. It's funny and awesome. And this is where I will tell you about it.

My Book List
So I was working in a library this summer and I saw all these books that I wanted to read. So I decided to start a list of books to read before I die. But now I want more. SO I want you guys to give me your suggestions of books to read. It can be anything, from children's books to classics. I like biographies also so I really do mean anything. Or if you like an author tell me them too and I'll check out some of their books. Even activity kind of books. maybe I'll do the activities, or recipe books. Really I just like books. I just need to get a library card because as we all know having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card.

"And that's about it."
So Lindsey made me want to tell more funny stories. She told me to tell the one about when Tom went to her apt.
This was before we were dating. Lindsey was having her Pumpkin Party and so I made a pumpkin pie for it. But Lindsey lived far away from me. I lived in Wyview which is by the football field, and she lived at 700N. And unfortunately it took me all day to make the pie. Because it wouldn't cook. But in the end it was good so whatever. But it wasn't done until after dark. And I was going to walk the pie over that night so it would be there because in the morning I was going to Tom's badminton match and then there was Lauren's bridal shower. So I needed to take it over the day before. Anyways so I called Tom and asked him to walk with me over there so I wouldn't be alone. He said yes because he liked me "And that's about it" It's about a 40 min walk especially with Tom and a pie. Tom likes to walk slower and I didn't want to drop the pie. So we finally get there. Lindsey's roommate Aubrey has a boy back in her room. Lindsey doesn't know what to do. So Tom goes,"Do you go to BYU?" they say "Yeah" "Do you know the honor code?" [no response] except Aubrey looked confused I guess because she's deaf and didn't hear what Tom said so her friend had to tell her. Then I guess they scowled at him. Anyways, then we were just sitting there talking, and her other roommate came home. she was sitting at her computer doing something I don't even know. So I know Tom has to get back and take a quiz so I kept asking him if he wanted to go so he could do it. so Lindsey's roommate decides that she should yell at Tom for making me leave and that he should just go home and they could give me a ride home. I was like no you don't understand. I'm the one asking him he's not saying anything. It was weird. Also Tom put on this wig that looked really dub that I had gotten to use at football games. and we were going to leave but he wouldn't take it off so I refused to walk across Provo with him wearing that. That's when she yelled at him too to just leave without me. It was just a funny situation. When we finally left sans the wig, Tom said he didn't really like Lindsey's roommates. and the whole situation was really awkward. Later he told me that he also felt awkward because he thought Lindsey knew that he liked me. ANd I was like oh Tom that was obvious to everyone. HAHA it was funny.

I'm telling you a funny story because lindsey is whining at me. She keeps doing it. Now she's laughing at nothing. She's weird.
One time when Tom and I were doing our laundry and this girl in our ward came in. Let me describe this girl to you. She is dumb. "And that's about it." No really she's just one of those people who thinks she's way super spiritual she's a "holier than thou" type. So she was dating this guy in our ward. He is actually really cool but he had just left on his mission. So Tom says to her "So are you going to wait for Chase?"
"Well not officially," she whispers back because that's how she talks,"But in my heart I'm waiting for him. I want to go on a mission so he has to wait for me too."
I at this point am trying not to laugh because she is so dumb.
"Oh that's nice." says Tom
When she left we both started laughing.
The real funny part is that now shes engaged. Apparently to a guy she's only seen 8 times before but whatever.

Sometimes we lie to ourselves...
So I agree with Lindsey so far this summer has had good moments but overall has sucked like a dyson vaccuum.
Sometimes things just don't go as planned, but it's all about making orange juice with your lemons right? And leave everyone wondering how you did it.
That's why I'm trying to break my shy shell. Let me tell you it's not easy nor do I like it.
Imagine you've never really had a good conversation with anyone besides good friends. Now you suddenly have to. Not fun
I know what you're thinking, how did you get good friends with out conversing with them first. Don't ask me God just loves me I guess and sent these great people to me. We were just suddenly good friends and that's always how it's happened with me.
I call it the kindergarten effect. Cuz you know when you're little that's how you become friends with people you meet someone on the playground and you guys are just bff's.
Anyways, it's also hard to do because I work three jobs. But don't worry I'll make enough for tuition. so that's good. But I don't get to go to ward activities and they've stopped telling me about fhe. Which is a bad idea cuz that's just kinda rude. Tom never gave up on the people who wouldn't come. He went to their apartments and asked them to come pretty much everyweek or called them. One girl came once or twice and trevor hardly ever came. but he tried.
yeah...
