What A Day

I voted today! Hurrah! Pretty cool that the year I turn 18 is an election year, eh? My first time voting was Courtney's too. Ch'yeah, I felt pretty cool wearing my sticker around campus today. Although I am pretty tired; my system doesn't do well after waking up at 4:30. x_X

Today in seminary, our study skill was "modernizing" where we would modernize scripture stories (dur). Anyway, I came up with this one in two seconds--see if you can guess the story! xD

An evil was growing in the world and its influence subtly affecting everyone. This evil had a plan to take over the world, but its secret somehow leaked. One man knew of this secret and decided he had to tell the world to save it. The man kept no facts hidden and pleaded with everyone to see the danger, trying to persuade them that he knew how to prevent it, but no one seemed to want to listen. The people finally tired of the man and his ridiculous claims and deemed him insane. He was shipped off, never to be seen or heard from again, almost as if he died. Yet there was one individual who took the man's words into account and felt like the man had been telling the truth. This converted man left all the other unbelievers but began to spread the word and warn people. More and more started to see sense in his words and eventually people were able to protect themselves from the evil's murky plot.

Gold star for whoever guesses correctly!

Some updates:

• Bummer about Obama. Sucks that I have to become an adult under him. A little worried, to say the least. Hopefully, however, he'll only last for 4 years after people realize what a mistake they made. Honestly, why can't more people get some brains?
• Prop. 102 passed! Hallelujah! I read a big long argument about gay marriage rights on Facebook though and it's very irritating. I'm trying not to be mean or overbearing so I'm refraining as best I can but I just feel so angry! Some people are just jerks, y'know?!
