Ah, two of my cousins are pregnant! That’s so cool. My cousin’s son is so cute and sweet. I wish they lived closer so I could see them more. I’m so happy for them! They’re going to be good parents.

My brother just got a cat! It’s name is Boo Boo Kitty f*ck. Lol. My brother is weird. I like to call it Boo Boo. It sounds like a funny cat.

I LOVE chocolate milk!!! It’s so great! I love Nesquick. One of my friends kept talking about his love of chocolate milk, so I some new variations of chocolate milk, and now I love it too. Seriously- skim of 1% milk with Nesquick- Awesome! My old roommate suggests blending it with a blender. I haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds like a good idea.

Wow! I've spent so much time at church lately! I mostly go to church, go to class, go to my apartment. People have been calling me constantly to discuss religion. It's been funny. I've thrown dinner parties, gone to dinner parties, talked on the phone- and someone brings it up. It's been interesting. I've had so many people question my beliefs from every side (atheists, Mormons, reverends, ex-Mormons, Christians, etc.). It’s confusing. I’ve had people call me zealous or say that the church I wanted to start was crazy. I’ve had people stop talking to me for months because they didn’t like my religion. But, I’ve never had anyone be so persistently mean or blasphemous toward my beliefs on purpose. I’ve had to keep my church friends and my other groups separate, so there won’t be horrible fights. My gay friends want to convert my church friends and vise versa, lol. I talked to a pastor for about an hour and a half this morning, then I talked to some missionaries for two hours this afternoon, then my neighbor came over and wanted to talk about religion, then my friend called and wanted to talk about religion too. Oye Vey! I’ve had such intense conversations, I’m confusing myself now. I have so much to think about now. I was at church for 8 hours the other week, and 13 hours this week. Next week looks about the same. That’s not bad necessarily though, just different. I think, I hope. Yeah, it seems good, maybe, yeah, I think so. Hmm.
