I got this award thing at church today. It’s part of my church’s youth program, but it’s not really something you win. It’s something young women aged 12 to 18 earn. I’ve been working on mine since I was 12, and to get it I had to complete about 10 or so goals each year between 12 and 16, and then between 16 and now I had to complete four projects that required at least 20 hours of work per project. So, it’s a pretty big deal. It was pretty nice. One of my old seminary teachers showed up as a surprise, which was really sweet. She drove in all the way from Arlington at 7:00 in the morning to be there. She’s so nice; she was the best religion teacher I’ve ever had. Also, one of my youth group leaders from Arizona was there, which was really fantastic.

And, it also got the bishop to say “Harry Potter” over the pulpit on Easter. Is that blasphemous? Hehehe. (He was just talking about my projects, one of which I counted as the whole PotterWar thing. That certainly took far longer than 20 hours, so I think it counts.)

We played games all afternoon, but I’ve been dead tired ever since I woke up. I had to wake up at 7:00am this morning after waking up way too early yesterday and going to bed way too late. I almost fell asleep standing up this morning.

Later in the afternoon I got a notebook full of cute letters from a lot of my friends. 🙂 I started giggling when I saw one from my friend Chris — I had just talked to him, saying “Guess what? I got this award at church!” He was so good; didn’t spill any beans and just congratulated me like normal. Good work, Chris. 🙂 I also got one from another good friend, Sabbrielle, saying maybe this award will help me meet “Greggers” so I can finally send out those hilarious wedding invitations. Hehe, I think I’ll wait a bit for that. But if Greggers wants to show up and start giving me lovely presents and paying me to go travelling with him, I’d think that’s lovely. 🙂

Okay, everything else I’m trying to write I’m having to erase because it’s just too crazy. I think I need to get some sleep now. If this entry didn’t make sense it’s not my fault. It’s sleep deprivation. Yeah. Thank goodness I can sleep in tomorrow like crazy, wake up whenever I want when the breeze comes in through my window, and then fall out of bed. I might even decide, after doing that, to just lay on the floor for a while. Geeze, there I go again, just babbling into nothingness. I’m going now, good night.
