This Week

So...i have had a crazy week. On monday, my sister came home and we went to the dodger game. On tuesday there was an earthquake! it was so crazy! then i had my first behind-the-wheel class. it was great because i can finally drive. today i went to the beach and julie and katie are spending the night. i am so excited for tomorrow because my mom and i are going to chicks so i can try on my lettermen's jacket and send it in to lettering. i am really happy.

i have been reading this new book, "what does it mean to be human" and i really like it. it is a compilation of essays and philosophies of different people's definition of what they think it means to be human. it's cool because it has really smart people, but it also has regular people. the people range from scientists to homemakers, musicians to college professors. i really like it. it has the dalai lama, elie weisel, jewish rabbis, a bunch of people. the best part is i get to write down what i think each author means by what they say. i have to write a journal entry about each one stating whether i agree or disagree. i really like that because my ultimate goal in life is to tell others how i feel and the fact that i get to write it all down and my teacher can read it really drives me up the wall.

i finally finished "the great gatsby". UGH! i hated it...to say the least.

my new nick-name

my sister asked me why i called myself porkey. it is not at all because i think i am fat. i know i am not fat. i am named after the kid from the little rascals. i love to say otay so it stuck! we (my crew) all have names from the little rascals and the sandlot. my name from the sandlot is birtrum. i figure porkey was better, so i chose that one. what do you think?

crazy week

so this week has been amazing. i went to utah to visit my brother and sister/go to efy. it was so great. we went and saw the very majestic light of the full moon reflect off of the clouds while on the ski lift. we saw the dark knight, which-by the way-was amazing. i have never seen such a movie. i went to church in a college ward. that was very interesting. i also saw step up 2. now that was some crazy dancing. then on monday i went to efy. i met some great people and had an awesome experience. i showed off my magnificent dance moves at the dances and my incredible coordination while playing frisbee. the food wasn't all that great, but it was better than nothing. the boys were very nice and courteous, and the girls were very friendly and fun. saturday we hung out at temple square and wandered. we went on an interesting picnic after crossing a stream. we saw beautiful creations on the alpine loop as well. the best part was visiting anne. it's only been one day, but i miss her already!

how to begin

no one ever really knows what to say except that their life is boring. well i have vowed NOT to make people feel sorry for me and to dedicate this blog to how boring my life is not.

i do not want to subject others to the droning complaints that most people post on myspace and all of those other creepy cyberspace places. i want people to see how i love life and everything that comes w/ it...even the hard and boring things.

i guess i'll start off with the exciting adventures of a fifteen-and-a-half-year-old driving for the first time. it has been a scary experience at first-especially w/ my mom screaming at me for driving over the curb-but i got over it and i must say it is the highlight of my day. i like to watch the clock tick down in my history class as i wait in anticipation for my mom to come pick me up and take me to she church to drive in circles (you think i'd go crazy!).

alright, since i wont say my life is boring, that is all for now.

peace out?
