missionaries!

okay. so this is something many of you have already heard but i am posting about it anyway. on monday i got a tape from loveless. it was very good. i quite liked it. (loveless, if you are reading this... thank you.) some definite highlights (remember that childrens magazine?) were when he said that he really liked vampires. obviously he is insane. which works out because i obviously am as well. He also likes soccer. this is a big plus. i want to start playing again. i almost went over to westridge today to kick the ball around alone but didn't have time. dang it. anyway, he comes home on april 6. this is ridiculously soon. i am kind of scared for my life, as alec would say. but that is good. so i sent him a reply tape. it was interesting. maybe. i don't really know. i did tell him that i have not kissed anyone since before i was 16. I AM AN IDIOT! oh well. maybe he likes dumb girls who normal boys run away from.

so... moving on. i also got another letter from mike. it was NINE pages long. that is pretty substantial for him. can i just say that i find it kind of annoying that he uses scriptures and missionary lingo to flirt? he said, in response to my inquiry as to why he decided to tell me all of the things he did now, that as the scriptures say, he was putting milk before the meat. all of his stuff up to now has been "milky" now he thought it was time to include some meat. i think that this may do with my telling him that his first tape was too serious and blah. He also said that he wanted to let me know that he is a "potential investigator." I was laughing so hard i had to put the letter down and walk away. he says--and i quote--"to us, as missionaries, this means that a person has shown great interest in the church but has not yet committed to do anything." what the heck? he has shown great interest in me? when? i guess the tape kind of counts. where did he learn that that is how you woo someone? it was all very cute and whatnot... it was just so mike.

one thing that was actually quite good was that he said he liked my idea about kissing in the rain. (if you recall, his comp asked me about dream kisses.) he said about the whole paintball kissing thing (10 things i hate aobut you) , "yeah, that would be awesome. although, i like being outside with rain. that would be cool. i'll pray for rain in march." i assume he means next march when he gets home. okay. that is pretty cute. once more, he said things you just don't picture mike saying. but then, i suppose it is easier when you are miles and a year away from any kind of consequence. and he was still really serious in parts. and he was kind of offended because i called him anal in the tape i sent him.

OH! this is the last thing. i promise to stop obsessing about boys. so you guys know about the song i sent him, right? norah jones. all about how i was waiting for him to come home and turn me on. HA! i knew he would react to that. he asked how serious i was about that whole message. i think it is fitting to tell him what he told me... "you know, take it for what it means." yes, it is a little harsh... but i think he can deal with it.

moving right along... i saw cinderella at scera with my nieces. they loved it. i loved it. i think i want to take some kiddies to go dog go the musical right after finals. they would like it... and i am sure i will as well. it IS dr. suess. what is there not to like? and so... i will end with this sentiment... bite the big one , junior.
