Well, There You Go

1. "People"? I ain't "people." I am a - "a shimmering, glowing star in the cinema firmament."

2. “I ordered a muffin, but I think they gave me a small planet.”

3. “Shh! I'm listening to reason.”

4. “Well, the problem is you can't fight off an army of blood-thirsty Vikings with a shenai, it's illogical”

I saw this “game” on Facebook the other day. People are suppose to see if they can guess the movie just from the quotes. Strangely, I couldn’t find quotes to all of my favourite movies, apparently they are that obscure. Come on, tens of people of have seen The Third Wheel.

See if you can figure out the movies listed above. Cheating is prohibited. You can’t just type the quote in the Google. That is lame.

So don’t worry, things have turned out okay from the other day. I realized that I can’t change others and I can’t worry about what everyone thinks of me. People are going to make, what I think, are stupid decisions. There will, sadly, be people out there that don’t like me. I just need to keep doing what I am doing and let the chips fall where they may. No more getting in the middle. No more trying to appease both sides of a fight that wasn’t even mine to begin with. I don’t get paid enough to be a mediator.

So last night was our Christmas Beverage Bash. It turned out pretty well, and in mid party, we had seventeen people. I know that doesn’t sound like a lot, but for the size of my house, it was pretty full. Jenny’s strawberry/banana/pineapple/orange slush turned out to be a big hit and I happily made all of our food using our amazing Magic Bullet. We rounded out the night with a hilarious round of MOC2008, so it really did feel like the Weekday Eves of yesteryear.

So remember the brother/sister friends we have now? Well they both graced our party with their attendance. At one point in the evening, the sister pulled me aside and asked me why I haven’t been out with her brother since the ward Christmas party. I smiled and said, “Well, because he hasn’t asked me out. Besides it has been a crazy couple of weeks, so we haven’t even run into each other anywhere.”

The sister went on to tell me that she is pretty sure that her brother likes me and would love to go out with me, he is just too shy to do anything about it. She tried all night to try and convince me that should ask him out, and wanted me to ask him out for some time this week, while he was at our party. So now I am the one pausing for thought. (Yes, you can laugh.)

From our ward Christmas party experience the brother didn’t seem too shy to do anything, in fact, he seemed quite the opposite. I never did ask out the brother at our party, it seemed kinda lame, and what with Christmas coming up, an inappropriate time to make any plans. But should I attempt something for the new year?

If the brother was interested, wouldn’t he do something? Why can’t he chase me for a while? Do I really want to wear yet another person down to date me? Will it all just end the same? Why is this so hard? Shouldn’t this be the easy part?

Any advice you have, would be appreciated.

Counting the slow hours left of work until our Christmas holidays begin. Waiting to hear from Elder Garner. Excited to see T. Tawny Dog. Still changing the fate of 2008.

As Always,
