Life lately

You know what kind of ruins lent? When the next day, you totally forget your goal and eat 3 dollars worth of tater babies and chicken chunks (they were delicious, btw). So guess who changed their goal?? HANNAH! It is now just cutting out french fries (being more specific makes it easier to remember) and a few unsavory words from my vocabulary. And since I changed my goal, I have been doing great.

I don't understand why people say mean things, when they don't have to say mean things. In fact, they don't have to say anything. Real happening:
'
H: Do you know what this restaurant has on the menu that isn't deep fat fried? All the chicken dishes I get are fried.
D: Why? (imagine it said in a really snarky, superior tone)
H: I gave up fried food for lent, and I'm trying to decide what to get.
D: Oh, so what, you're Catholic now? (seriously snarky guys, imagine as much snark as you can.)
H: You don't have to be Catholic to observe lent.
D: Whatever. Lent. That's dumb. Shmoo shmoo shmoo shmoo I'm a huge jerk.

Okay, so maybe that last part wasn't a direct quote, but you get what I'm saying. Seriously. I wasn't asking his opinion of me observing lent, I was simply asking him a menu-related question (that he failed to answer, btw). I guess any opportunity to talk is an opportunity to be a huge jerk, for him.

I used to think he was awesome, too. What a sense of disillusionment.

Anyway, in other news, I saw the Scarlet Pimpernel at my school 4 times because I have a life and stop judging me. I also finished my stand up comedy act for the school talent show, and have been practicing for my audition this Friday. Otherwise, I'm just preparing for life at the BYU.



Pictured: Me and a freedom rider at the Sundance Film Festival last year. They made an amazing documentary, and I got to meet him! He was there! F'realz! So cool.
