I was reading an old Journal entry of mine *titled "Random Survey." Here is a list of the ones (besides things like "Who did you last talk to?" obviously) that I would change if I took the survey again.


41. If you could be anywhere, where would you be?: With my family.

New answer: La Grange. Rebecca is in La Grange. Kelly's up there too.



55. Do you wear shoes in the house or take them off?: Shoes mosta the time.

New answer: Socks or bare feet, now that I live in a house and not a dorm.



70. What is the best accent?: I dunno.

Irish, all the way. Or maybe East Indian.




71. Who do you want to kiss?: NOBODY

Although there is a specific somebody to fill this slot, out of respect/reverence I will leave it simply as "Somebody."



79. Do you like your nose?: My nose Rul3z

This hasn't changed. My noz3 pwnz your sou1.








* For the record, essays, books, papers, songs, journals, etc., are titled, not "entitled." This is a grammatical rule; you are not *entitled* to your opinion.

Well, my mission papers are off.

For anyone who doesn't know, that means that soon the Lord will call me to serve and preach His gospel somewhere in the world. It might be in the U.S., or it might not be.

So we can play a fun game: Where do you think Shaun will be called to?

I just had the funnest night. Kelly, Sarah, and I went to WalMart and got hair color (the kind that washes out in 8-10 shampoos) and did purple hair! I did red at first, but it wasn't nearly extreme enough, so we did purple on me too and it looks great! We put purple highlights/streaks (I dunno the difference) in the girls' hair. It was way fuN!

So you left me a comment. Thanks, really. I still wish you had an explanation for me, though. That wasn't very nice.

And fasting ..... Wow. Fasting is the COOLEST thing ever, because you can get so much closer to Heavenly Father--I don't think an hour went by that I didn't pray. It just works somehow. So amazing. The Church is TRUE!

I've been reading the coolest book: A Return to Modesty by Wendy Shalit, and most of the following are her ideas.

I went to the student health center today.

Query: What is so attractive about a woman in scrubs and white tennis shoes with a stethoscope around her neck?

Elucidation: A woman whose dress is modest, whose demeanor is bright and unassuming, and who has committed herself to the comfort and service of others is more--she is more attractive than a slothful woman, devoted to her own sensual pleasure, crude of speech, who wears such tight clothing because she knows she's just going to take it off soon.

Explanation: As society that glories in "sexual liberation," we secretly yearn for "old-fashioned" and "sexist" values.

The whole reason women are no longer treated like ladies is that they refuse to act like ladies. Feminism, originally a blessing to women, went too far and threw off the social constraints that made women special. Now women can be the sexual animals they insist that they are. Men haven't helped the situation, but they've certainly cooperated with the women's movement. The modest, virtuous lifestyle that used to be associated with women has been cast off in favor of the sexually perverse lifestyle.

It's a counterbalance: men who respect female virtue will promote a society of virtuous women, and women who are virutous will promote a society of gentlemen. And then, goodbye to sexism and hello to Peace.
