A Few Words Before I Fall Asleep...

I just wanted to take a moment to write about a few things. I just went to a graduation for a friend of mine and once again, it has hit me how quickly time passes. This time next year, I will be graduating. It seems weird that it will even be that long though, because I've been taking college classes for a semester now. Before my Senior year officially begins however, I still have a lot going on this summer.
I'm exciting about taking one last wack at going to efy, that'll be a blast. My sister finally gets to go with me and I'm excited to see her experience one of the best weeks you'll ever have in your life. Youth Conference is going to be several stakes, so I'm excited about that too. I'm also going to Girl's Camp one last time this year. I'm in two shows at the UofO this summer, as well as heading out to Disney World for a week... it's going to be funfilled, I will be spiritually fed and laugh a lot. I'm so excited.

Temporarily Obsessed

So today I have added another obssesion along with Rent. :) Well actually I've loved Josh Groban for quite some time now, but today it;s really hit me that I desperately want to see him on stage...in person. Someday he will tour again and I will purchase the ticket to wherever is closest to me at the time. *sigh* It's just become a goal now. I will see him eventually!
Anywho, since my recent obsession with Rent started yesterday evening, I wore "rent style" clothing today. Heehee it was fun, but I was really missing the finishing touch of something like Mark's scarf. When I walked into Company One today, I saw that Weston had his Rent shirt on, which made me feel happy and frustrated. Happy, because I wasn't the only one thinking of the show and frustrated, because I really want a Rent shirt. The Company One kids are singing Seasons of Love in their showcase so I got to hear that today as well!
I need to get on here when it's not so late, so I can write more coherently. Maybe tomorrow.

A (short) list of long term "worldly" goals:

-To own an official Rent t-shirt
-To have a cd player in my car
-To see Josh Groban in concert
-To steal Mark's scarf.

Hope you all have a fabulous day!

No Day But Today

...yes, I've been listening to Rent. That's okay though, it's been a couple years since I've really allowed myself to be consumed by the show, haha. I'm sure I'll move on to something else in a few days. I watched part of a documentary on Jonathan Larson and his journey on working on the show Rent. The people in the feature length film talk a lot about his life, what he did day by day and what his additude was like. I hadn't known (until last night) that he died suddenly the night before opening night, or that he had several friends that had died from various diseases. The show was extremely important to him and it was neat to see his friends and family describe his determination in making his show a success. I really do like the show. True, there are many situations and lots of material that isn't the most appropriate but I still like the show for how it makes me think. It opened my eyes to a bigger world than myself. It shows a different side of life and it's truly interesting. I don't know, I'm going on and on, haha... it's been a long day. But, I am still continuing to listen to this show. "One Song Glory" is on right now. Adam Pascal, who was in the OBC is a wonderful man to listen to. (:
If anyone is reading, hope you have a wonderful night. It's now 10:30, which is my cut-off for the internet on a week-night. ;)
