General Conference and Raptors

General Conference is one of those introspective, ambitious times of year. I feel a little bipolar because I think about how I can be so much better than I am now. It makes me excited and then depressed and excited all over again.

I want to be a lot more service oriented. I try to feed people and give people rides and such but I think it would be good to do something more scheduled, on a regular basis. It seems kind of hard right now since I'm starting to make plans to move but I think it wouldn't be bad to look into it anyways. Something I've always wanted to do is become a temple worker... Maybe I can make plans to be one at the Mesa Temple or one of the newer ones when they finally finish construction?

I want to get over all my worries about dating/marriage. I feel like I have such lofty visions for myself. I've been told by some that I'm pretty intense. To top it all off I don't "like" like men very easily. I know that I could be truly passionate about the right guy, that it'll feel like my rib cage has been unlocked and my heart has burst out and its oozing EVERYWHERE. If I haven't found someone who feels right and who feels the same way back, well, I'm sure Heavenly Father has things under control. I just have to not loose motivation and keep a look out. I'm pretty sure my true love is just a ninja or has an invisibility cloak or something....

Finally, I need to focus on being instead of doing. I think this would be a good skill to master for all dimensions of life, not just parenting which they used for a primary example. I have a bucket list but maybe it would be worth while to create a "to be" list...

To end things on a completely unrelated note, I decided I'd draw you all a picture. Yesterday I was making up a story and I decided I like the idea of a Velociraptor wearing mittens instead of socks because of the big toe claw. It ended up being a really random story but I thought I'd illustrate the idea since I liked it that much. I'm thinking I could very easily write a children's book and aim it for the girly, science nerdy audience.

  1. I love the velociraptor with mittens. What would a smitten mitten look like for a dinosaur?
