Day 24: Favorite Quote/Scripture

Alma 26:12

"Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."

Day 22: What Makes Me Different

Catch up.

Cue: Backstreet Boys "What Makes You Different"

Ahem.

Well, I am not sure what makes me different. I asked Ashley and she said my sense of humor. Which I suppose is true because I'm, well, kind of a freak. I think things are funny that everyone else thinks are weird/immature/dumb etc. I also make witty jokes that are often plays on words that nobody gets. So I look dumb, or I laugh alone.

I guess the combination of being left-handed and adopted also makes me different.

I would say that I never match my socks, but Lacey's started doing it too. I've done it since I was like 14. I started because I liked having variety and now I kind of just do it because it's too much of a pain to sort my socks after I do laundry so I just grab the first two that are roughly the same size.

Um....I'm a white girl that speaks Spanish? That's not different for BYU but for the rest of the world I think it is.

To end how I started, I still love Backstreet Boys. Yeah boy, that love has been going on since I was 9.

Other than that, I really don't know. I feel kind of like what Lauren said in her post about this....we are all different together. Our differences make us similar. I think it's just the random combinations of traits that make us unique. So there ya go.

Day 20: A Letter.

Catch up.

Dear Katherine,

You are my babooshka, my puddle of warmth, my makooshla. Your graceful elegance brightens my day with the hope of a better world.

Your inspiring dance moves inspire me to inspire other people, and I love you. I love the way you sleep like a mummy, with your hands crossed over your chest. You look so peaceful. Now I sound like a creeper. Change of direction.

Your sarcasm is so funny. You say you love when I get all defensive and mamma-bearish, but I love it just as much when you do that because you get out the whole finger-snapping head-shaking black-girl-authority and people quiver in their stupid little boots.

Anyways, I love you and I'm glad you are my roommate forever and ever and ever.

Love,

Falala

P.S. I love men.

Day 19: Sweet Memory

Ketchup.

So I have totally been slacking......losing motivation....being too tired etc.

I have so many great memories I am trying to decide which one to write about.

Maybe I'll write about the times where my brother and I stayed up until ridiculous hours

of the morning making amazing movies such as "Baby Time" and "Gangsta vs. Nerd." Not only was it fun making the movies and acting like idiots, but it was when we first started making movies that really brought my brother and I close to each other. He is such an awesome kid and I love getting to spend time with him and doing crazy/ridiculous things with him.

Or perhaps I'll write about the time that I got grounded for three weeks in high school and my good friend Nick Reyes took pity on me and brought me a "Grounding Survival Kit." It was complete with an entire box (as in Costco box, not dinky 6-package box) of Gushers, dinosaur sponge capsules, and much more.

There are also those times where I'm woken up from a nap by my dear doggy licking my arm. I love it. And I realize I already posted this picture but this is just fitting since he is licking his snout.

Or last summer. That was perfect.

Like how I cheated? :]
