Hey, it's been a while.

Can I make the most random post EVER?

K thanks.

I don't know what it is lately, but my friends and I have been having deep conversations every night. We tend to just sit around and talk. We talk about politics, relationships, religion, nicholas cage and how we hate him, gossip, fashion, you name it.

Today my mom and I talked for two hours. Oh how lovely it is to have her in my life again. She always has the perfect things to say. She and I talked about how we can be our own worst enemies. The inner-dialogue on a day to day basis can be brutal. I told her I say mean things in my head, things no one would ever say to me. I think it's Satans way of trying to hinder progression.

Tonight I was watching Pretty Woman, one of my favorites. In the film, Vivian said: "the mean things are easier to believe."

I think that's true, compliments are difficult to accept, but insults, we hang on to those.

On Sunday I watched General Conference with my family. I have never enjoyed Conference like I did this time. I was actually sad when it was over. I particularly enjoyed Elder Holland's talk and Elder Christopherson. My dad and I had a long discussion about how if the Government was organized like the Church is organized, maybe we'd be in better shape as a country. I was joking that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir should line up inbetween Iraq and Iran and sing "Come Thou Fount"

I think all war would cease immediately...

This economy makes me sad. Today a friend told me how she was in management for an International company. After she was laid off she tried for months to find work. In desperation, she applied for a seasonal position at Target. They wouldn't hire her...

Things seem really screwed up. We spend billions of dollars on war, while every country suffers financially and we go further and further into debt. So if we had world peace, we could all just keep our money and circulate it back into the economy? I am the first to admit I don't know much about politics or war but I think simply, and I am naive. Things just don't make much sense.

I wish my love for beautiful things and blogging could be lucrative! But that's just silly.
