so a few MAJOR things happened December 2010.
I went to the temple to be endowed. It was incredible and beautiful and overwhelming and great. So great. BFF Kara came with me- the perfect choice.
My dad moved to Mexico.
My dad's BFF died tragically of a heart-attack while mountain biking (SUPER awful).
My baby Brother landed in and began his mission in Germany. He is in Bamburg currently.
I became unemployed.
that's basically it. I guess it's sort of a lot for one month. Oh yeah- add that to Christmas and New Years with all the hubub that entails. New Years was A.W.E.S.O.M.E. this year (usually one of my LEAST favorite holidays) because it was rather low key, and somehow really incredible and fun. You should find an excuse to have a dance party in the street sometime. It's great.
This new year is going to be full of adventure. I'm feeling a little apprehensive about things as I write this and come to the realization that a lot of things in my life depend on other people's acceptance of me as a person:
+I am applying to 5 graduate schools. So many people will be judging the paper representatives of me in the coming months.
+I given pressure for the first time EVER over Christmas festivities about not dating anyone/being wed. The prospect of dating someone is intimately tied with another person's acceptance and love of me.
+My house has taken a dramatic shift; the end of an era, some have called it. Three new random housemates incur a great deal of stress in the notion that they might hate us and our house's culture.
-one of them flirts with every male-type who has entered our house thus far-
-one of them I have never seen-
In the meantime, I am working at the Central Utah Arts Center. It is Awesome. You should probably check it out.
I write press releases for their shows, and sometimes do other stuff. I'll post the latest.

Hey, guess what, I accept you as a person. I can't employ you nor can I teach you how to play any musical instruments. Oh wait, the nose flute. Wanna play the nose flute?
i miss you.
ps. you are an excellent writer.
A few things: You expressed the feeling of graduation quiet well. You also described the shift in our housing dynamics perfectly. The end of an era, yes. But we can still continue our inspiring and invigorating experiences. Let the games begin!
*quite. not quiet.
(I'm... tired?!)
I love spontaneous dance parties and planned ones.
