Confessions of a Mormon Otaku

1. If You Could Hie to Kolob - An LDS hymn that is currently my top favorite.
2. I Am a Child of God - Another LDS hymn that I've loved since childhood.
3. Perform This Way - Weird Al's parody of Lady Gaga's Born This Way.
4. Passion by Utada Hikaru - I know it's in Japanese, but I do know all the lyrics, as well as the translation of them.
5. The Atop the 4th Wall theme song - I am such a nerd.

Grumpy.

According to Facebook, I have 120 friends. Which is kinda pathetic in Facebook terms. Then again, Facebook itself can be quite pathetic at times.

Since I plan on being a novelist, it's only fitting that my major be English with an emphasis in Creative Writing.

Yes, I'm officially a college student now. Utah Valley University offers classes near me. It's only one class for this semester, but it's a start. Guess what the school mascot is? No really, guess in the comments, flist. No cheating by looking up the school on Google or Wikipedia, though.

Dear younger brother,

I know I said that I hated you back when I was delusional, but that's just it. I was delusional. I honestly thought that you were the source of all my problems back then. Now I know that it was just the way our trials were timed. I love you with all my heart, even when you are a pain in my rear. I'm sorry that I never really played with you when you were a kid, too. Again, the delusion thing is partly to blame. The other part is our age difference. I am so sorry about saying that I hated you.

You'll probably never read this, since you're not on LJ and probably don't even know it exists. But I can tell you when you wake up this morning.

With all sincerity,
Your "little" sister

I'm not bullied by others anymore. My biggest bully now is my own self-doubt.

I was getting my braces adjusted when the first tower was hit. I got home to find the news on television and a scar in a NYC skyscraper(I lived in Florida and was homeschooled at the time). I also watched the second plane hit and both towers fall.

At first I thought it was all some horrible accident. Then I saw the second plane hit. I really didn't cry until I tried to explain the whole thing to my younger brother, who had turned 5 that day(by providence, we had the party the day before so his cousin could attend). I'm not really sure why I took it upon myself to do that other than I felt that I had to.

As a quick aside, I was living about an hour south of where President George W. Bush was at the time he was told of the attacks.

I first really understood the reality and seriousness of evil that day.
