Swiper, No Swiping!

I am so far from perfect, it's not even funny. In D&C we've been learning about the Laws of Retaliation and Forgiveness. What a coincidence that we're learning that right when my stuff gets stolen . . . again. Okay, so I've gotten over the last time my stuff got stolen. I mean, I'm a little sad still, since there was a lot of sentimental value to those items, but I don't want to beat the people anymore. However, now that I'm struggling financially and in many other ways, and the person who most likely stole my money knows that, I have a hard time forgiving and not retaliating. I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for the early saints to forgive their persecutors.
What do you do? How would you handle the situation? It's not like I can accuse this person of doing it because I'm not 100% sure and that's an awful thing to accuse someone of. But, if I can't confront this person about it, how do I know I can trust them and trust that my stuff is safe ever again? It's not exactly hard to break into my room after all. What do I do? What should I say?
Help!

Corney Boys are Cute

I heard this song a few months ago and absolutely fell in love with it. I wish all guys had the same thoughts about their girl. Guys, if you want to get a girl, sing her this song and she's yours!

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they’re not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She’s so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don’t see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say

When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are

Her nails, her nails
I could kiss them all day if she’d let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy

She’s so beautiful

And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you’re searching for
Then just stay the same

So don’t even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say

When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are

Boo . . . Continued

I had an absolute blast last night. At least 4 cars worth of people went to Salt Lake to go through the Nightmare on 13th house. Hilary's brother put it all together and she was adamant that I had to go. No questions about it. Of course, she knew I was a freak out and tended to overreact to scary things like this. So, she made me invite a boy to be my 'protector' for the night. I asked one of my FHE brothers to come and he agreed, but I think only reluctantly. All throughout the house I had a death grip on his hand and I don't think he was down for that, being a somewhat, recent RM. Oh well. I warned him.
The haunted house was extremely long and smelled really rank. I guess that was on purpose? The only things that really freaked me out were the pitch-black sections, the claustrophobic places, and the creeps that lunged out from the dark abyss. A lady told my FHE brother that if you were smart, it would take you about an hour to get through the house and I think we hit that quota. We were fast and smart, (only ran into a few walls and mirrors) but it was a long haunted house.
No matter how scary or awful the house could have been, it all would have been worth it to see Hilary come walking out with her hair sticking in every direction, pasty white skin, and a look in her eyes that said she had seen things that would haunt her for the rest of her life!

Boo . . .

I love Halloween, but I hate scary things. I CANNOT sit through a scary movie without the blanket over my head and I most definitely CANNOT deal with haunted houses. They make me want to cry. Yes, I agree with you that it's all fake and what is there to really by afraid of, quit being such a baby! But, you know what? There's that little thing inside my brain that turns off all rational thought when I get scared. I don't care if it's not real. It's still freaking scary!
With that big rape story that happened over the Summer, I can't tell you how many times people have warned me to be careful. Especially since I live South of campus. They've practically beat it into me. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I now have mace on my keychain and I'm rearing to use it, but I have been so on edge lately. I can remember at least 2 distinct times when I've jumped 5 feet in the air and started to run in a serpentine pattern just because a runner came up in my peripheral vision.
Have I made myself found pathetic yet?

Things I DON'T want to write about:

My audition in a week.
How far away February is.
The fact that my apartment is FREEZING.
I'm craving hot apple cider and caramel apples.
My work gives me crappy shifts: a.k.a. Halloween.
The hole on my heel.
We have too many cookies in the apartment.
I have to go to ballroom on Tuesday.
What to get people for Christmas.
I've lost my All-sports pass.
I need to start my Art History paper
Thanksgiving is so far away.
I won't be a teenager anymore.
It's almost Monday.

Timeout

I really am not in the mood to write anything today. I keep racking my brain, but I've got too much on my mind to think about what I should write on my blog. I really have no desire to do anything concerning school, and yet, school doesn't care. In fact, just because I just said that, school is going to slam me down with another giant obstacle to overcome. I'm tired. I've been trying to make things work for so long. It feels like my body can't go on any longer. When will life give me a hiatus? Thanksgiving is too far away and Christmas is years away. Why doesn't BYU believe in giving breaks. We're not machines. I'm just so tired.
