Confessions of a Mormon Otaku

Once upon a time, I had a beginners understanding of French. Now all I can remember is the above phrase.

I actually plan on majoring in Japanese once I get to BYU(don't know when, but I will make it happen!). Other languages I want to learn are Mandarin Chinese, Quenya, and Sindarin. Notice that half of these languages are Tolkien constructs. That's how much of a nerd I am.

The dimples I get when I smile and the color of my eyes. Actually, the only physical thing I would change about me is my current weight. Personality wise, however...

To be honest, I can't think of just one piece of advice that my dad has shared with me that's stuck with me most. It's all good stuff. If only I would actually listen to it.

Fluffy the polar bear. Actually it was more of a white teddy bear than an accurate representation of a polar bear, but whatever. When I outgrew her, I gave it to my younger brother. Once he outgrew it, we donated it. I can't remember where, exactly. She wasn't a very large teddy bear, but I loved her all the same.

My mom's talents. While I do have a good many talents of my own that I like(singing and acting come to mind at the moment), my mom has talents that I would find very useful. She's great at multi-tasking and understanding how her children are feeling.

I'd also want my sister's talents. She loves to draw, and she get's better at it every day. Not only would I love to be able to draw like her(I have so many fanart ideas that I fear may never be realized), I would love to have her dedication to getting things done. Not sure if that's a talent, but I want, no, need it, badly.

I don't collect anything at the moment, as I have no cash. However, I would love to collect scented candles. Especially ones from the Yankee Candle company.

I'm not sure how I got interested in scented candles. I am one of those people that love to watch campfires burn, and I like things that smell nice, so I guess that's how it started.

Whenever my sister and I come across a display of Yankee candles in a store, we play a little guessing game. One of us closes our eyes while the other gets a candle and holds it up to their nose to try and guess the name of the scent. It's kinda silly, but still enjoyable after all these years.

Well, other than an Avatar: The Last Airbender movie that does not suck on toast, I think it would be really interesting to see an anime version of LOTR. Not that Peter Jackson's films are bad. They are what got me into Tolkien to begin with. I just think it would be really cool, especially it it were done by Studio Ghibli.

My city is nice looking and all, but there just aren't any places within it that I would consider "destinations." I think the only reasons you would visit my city are: A)You have family here, B)You have friends here, or C) You are looking to move here. Which is really sad because Utah has a lot of great destinations that are really beautiful, like Temple Square(obvious choice is obvious) or Park City.

So yeah, my town kinda stinks in that regard. But it more than makes up for it with the great people I know.

My first crush actually returned the feelings, if you can believe it. At age 3, no less. I'm pretty sure it lasted until kindergarten. The crush sorta came back when we were 11, but by the time I moved to Washington, our relationship had evolved to where he was part of the family rather than a potential love interest (his mom was single, and my dad was his Scoutmaster before we moved).

Three words: Motivation, motivation, motivation. Specifically, motivation to do stuff I don't want to do, like study for the ACT or do laundry. If I could get that down, I'd be so much happier.

I've been answering a lot of questions on the Writer's Block lately, haven't I?
