Something Good, and Something Bad

So, this is going to be an interesting post to write. First off, President Monson came to speak to us at the BYU devotional today. Can I just say, I completely covet his speaking skills! He is soooo funny, and has such great inflection/timing/pace...everything. So, ya. At the devotional the combined BYU choirs got to sing also. We sang "I Stand All Amazed" and can I just say, I think we sounded pretty dang good. There were less brilliant moments, as with every live performance, but all in all, it was dang good. It was funny, because we were watching the CES fireside at my apt on sunday, and people were commenting on how wonderful the choir sounded, and I just said "wait until tuesday devotional. Thats how a real choir sounds!" I'm such a choir snob...and dang proud of it now. Anyway, he gave a great address on the recent prophets, and shared some personal insights about the type of men they were. It was great!

Now for the less positive. We, here at the library, have been blessed with several new student employees. Some of them are smashing, and some of them...well, I want to smash. Luckily the ones in my cubical are incredibly barable. However, one of the newbies is ridiculously obnoxious. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm obnoxious too and I know it, but still. I was talking to Emilemily about it the other day, and we were reminicing about the annoying people in the past, including a certain someone who couldn't seem to stay out of our conversation. I had to tell her that this new guys is like 100x worse. He even just pops over in the middle of our conversation to stand there...very awkward. I have to say though, I definitely think he has a little something for my dearest cubical mate, Sydney. He definitely has a little crush on her, and loves to talk over the cubical wall to her (which is interdit).

Anyway, this whole ordeal has just reminded me of when you start off a new semester, even in your ward, and these new people come in and try and take over everything. You just have to sit them down and say, listen up Bleu, we're the vets of the ward, just let us do our thing! Ugh. My cousin tells me that I need to be nicer, and more accepting of people, though. So, I may give that a try... I would just like to submit though, that when I go into a new ward, I like to spend some time understanding the way the ward works, before I try to dominate it with my keen intellect...indeed, one may say that taking ones time is the propper way to do so. Anyway, this has turned into a bit of a rant but...such is life!

This is a first...

Well, I never thought that I'd do it...I never thought that I'd be one of those people who actually sits down and blogs...but alas, those times have changed. Due to popular demand, I am now going to try this whole blogging thing out and see what happens. As I sit here and wonder what on earth to talk about, I can't help but think that my writing a blog isn't going to be nearly as funny or entertaining as talking to me in person :) Not that I'm all that entertaining in person, but still...you get the point. So, I figure in this little blog, I'll be talking about all the things that are very me...thus the Lee-isms (Thank you Syd). I'm prolly gonna throw up some recipes, some flirting tips :) and some pet peaves, or just anything that I can think of, but lets be honest here, I'm not really one who goes around thinking too often...haha. In other exciting news, Dr. Staheli has a greed to give me private conducting lessons. I'm gonna get into that masters program, even if I have to step over some people to get there. Anywho, I should probably go and make something of my weekend. I'd hate to sit here and do nothing, but...such is life.
