Hee Hee.  This week is going to be great! Know why?  Its HOMECOMING!!!! That means its spirit week, but most importantly its burning of the H time.  For those of you who don't go to Hillcrest, you wierdos, Burning of the H is like the best thing ever! We do a HUGE fireworks show, and its just way cool, plus we light an H on fire, in honor of HILLCREST HIGH, the best school in the valley.  And, of course, there's that dance to go to.  I asked a cute girl to go, so I'm really excited.  Um, if you still haven't read it, read my venting on the STUPIDEST THING EVER, and please leave me your opinion, because I want to know if I'm just blowing smoke out of my ears, or if I have a legit reason to be ticked off at this whole thing.  Thanks Guys, you rock!

Today was pretty boring. Not much happened today. Connor Phelps, my best friend, returned an onside kick in Hillcrest's football game last friday against Copper Hills, even though we got beat 33-10. Hopefully tomorrow's game will be better. Um. I did ask a girl to homecoming, and chewed out the girl i used to go out with for dumping Connor on his butt because he asked the "wrong" way (See Post Below). I was pretty brutal, and i felt pretty bad about it. That's life in a nutshell. No venting, no nothing.

STUPIDEST THING EVER!!!!

Ok, here's the deal. I found out that if you have the balls to ask a girl face to face to a dance, it doesn't count!! In this wonderful state of UTARD, apparently you have to ask a girl by leaving some kind of trinket on her front porch.  Personally I think this is wrong.  There was a time when a young man had to work up enough courage to call the cute girl in math class on his telephone in his house (yes there was such a thing), and ask her if she would like to go to a school dance.   Or there was even a less technological way to ask her, you could see her in the hall, or at lunch, walk up, sit down across from her, and say ten words: "would you like to go to  the dance with me?" But, no Joe, we have to do it the right way, the traditional way.  I'm letting you in on a little secret here, it was actually a longer tradition to ask a girl face to face than this doorbell ditching stuff which came up in the last 20 years. It takes more guts for a guy to ask a girl to her face than it does for him to go to wal-mart and find a cheap trinket and a card, set it on a girl's porch, ring the doorbell and take off running like a dog with its tail between its legs.  It probably sounds like I'm talking like I'm from Mars, but I think it shows character for a girl to be able to turn down a guy to his face than to give him a load of candy and a letter saying "no." If you feel differently, leave me a message.  I want to know what you guys, the few who read this blog, feel about this

HOLY CRAP!!!

Dang it, I knew this day would come, and honestly, I'd been dreading it. Curtis McDonnald had been trying to get a hold of me for about a week, but he'd always managed to call when I wasn't around, so I didn't have to talk to him, and life was good. I figured it was some reminder about the special needs mutual on thursday, and I knew what time to be there, so I thought what's the rush. He called again today, and I actually called him back because I figured he'd had something important to tell me, but no. He casually asked me to...(are you ready for this)...SPEAK in STAKE CONFERENCE!! The first thought that shot through my head was "holy crap, you've got to be kidding." Then he continued, and I didn't think it could get any worse, but like everything else in life, it did. He didn't want me to speak in the priesthood session, or the adult session, no... he wanted me to get up and speak in the freaking general session. "holy crap" ran through my head like lightning, and i had no idea what else to say but yes. People tend to babble when their brain short circuts, but i tend to agree with everything, and tonight was no exeption. Such is my life's current drama
