You know what is great?
Hormones.
Actually, they aren't great.
well, sometimes they are, but not right now.
see? the effects of hormones at work.
to make a long, blabbering story short, Tonight was a cray cray (crazy) night.
to start things off, my friends and I did stuff-a-bus.
what is stuff-a-bus? it's a service project that Utah State Cervice Center holds ever year. CAnned goods are donated, and the hope is to stuff a school bus full of the food and deliver it to the Cache Valley Food Bank.
Tonight, our job was to go around to houses and ask people to donate any extra canned goods. let me say, we met some pretty interesting people, got about 100 empty soda cans, and Jordan and I figured out the meaning of awkward--80 times over.
anyway, as the night, aka two hours, wore on, jordan and i grew tired.
we may or mayn't have skimped out on some houses. we didn't. did. okay.
after we collected all of the canned goods, we made our way back to the car.
there, Daryn, Laiken, jordan and I went to the sev and got some delicious hot chocolate.
that made me VERY happy.
fast forward to me sitting in my bed. it's become a usual thing.
i was having the TIME OF MY LIFE discussing who i'd ask to the skyline winter formal, funny memories from high school, and laughing at funny comments.
then, i happened upon this:
sophie rose barton
what a beautiful girl, right?
she passed away in june--a devastating loss for everyone.
even me. i knew sophie when we were very little, we danced together.
she was HILARIOUS!
Anyway, I came across her facebook wall, and all the posts everyone has left.
she touched so many peoples' lives, and everyone misses her.
i began reading all the posts, and i couldn't help but cry.
how could someone with such a beautiful spirit, and who is obviously one of the most gorgeous girls ever seen, just...be gone?
she obviously was needed for something greater.
I don't know why it hit me so hard, but i was overcome with emotion.
sophie is a musician. an AMAZING musician.
My favorite song of hers is called "Break through"
some of the lyrics:
"I light the candles in my room
I look up to the midnight moon
and I, I think of you"
oh sophie, you have touched more lives than you ever knew you would, i'm sure of it.
you have influenced mine.
thank you.
sorry about that little emotional blurp.
so, after i cried my eyes out, i decided to watch the office.
HOLY POOOOOP. the openers to the two most recent episodes are UNREAL!!!
"is there anything stanley won't notice?!"
michael and andy decide to go to mexico....
click them. you KNOW you want to.
if that won't get the happy juices going, i don't know what will! (happy juices??? what the....)
I have never chuckled so hard to myself. ohhhhh michael scott and the dunder mifflin family, what would i do without you??
i heart life
i heart my crazay hormones
i heart my family
i heart my friends
i heart people who influence me
i heart laughing
i heart emotion
i heart love
