Tonight Hot Sauce and I went to the Occupy Provo meeting. They have a meeting everyday. They're not camping out anywhere yet because they can't find a legal way to do so. But they're staging protests every day. They're pretty cool people.

This being Provo, a good chunk of them are BYU students and, I'm assuming, Mormons. They're mostly PoliSci ( Read more... )

I had so many thoughts today I was gonna write down. Some were about Ephesians 2. Some were about the weirdest thing I've noticed about Protestantism. Bur I'm so tired my fingers don't really move ( Read more... )

I know I'm kind of tough and assertive sometimes. I had to learn to be because for a long time I've been the girl who had to take care of herself. When I was in France with a group from college, the guys in our group made a big deal about talking about how the girls should always be safe and take a guy with them when they went out into town or ( Read more... )

I've made two resolutions that I've kept for two weeks now, and I'm feeling so willpowery it's exciting ( Read more... )

Remember all my dear cute students from Taiwan? Well, a good chunk of them are currently in Provo, Utah. And I am teaching a few of their English classes. And I ran into the other group that I'm not teaching (that contains most of the ones I know the best) in the middle of the Cougareat today and had my picture taken like 43 times and got at least ( Read more... )

Do you know how many half-Japanese babies I know in my little world? A lot. It's funny, but that's what happens to people in my line of life, I suppose.

Today I went to Yuko's baby's blessing. It was really sweet of her to invite me. I would have felt like I was intruding  but she invited me rather explicitly, and the whole time there I felt totally ( Read more... )

I wasn't chronicling "things" well, so I decided instead to just be productive with my time. It has worked pretty well.

Yesterday I self-published an ebook. It's a little Mormony but may be interesting nonetheless. I made it 6 dollars because I wanted to make a little bit of money if anyone is interested, but I also didn't want it to be cost ( Read more... )

I liked the way Tatiana phrased it on Facebook today: "I'm pretty sure the rapture is happening every day. It's just that none of us are making the cut."

10 For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee ( Read more... )

My thing today was spontaneous. I was at my research job and K started talking to me on google chat. She sounded a little down in the dumps. So I decided to check out a book and go give it to her. We had been talking about being mental illness hypochondriacs so I found the book that started it all in me: ABCs of the Human Mind. Published by Reader' ( Read more... )
