L...is for the way you look at me

Yep. If any of you listen to Nat King Cole, you've probably guess my next topic. L-O-V-E.

"True love is the greatest thing, in the world-except for a nice MLT — mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe."
-The Princess Bride. 

Bahahahaha, sike. I'm probably the least qualified person ever to talk on the subject of "L" word. But today I am going to address the "L" word.

Have you ever noticed how many things you "L" word in one day?! I myself "L" word a good morning breakfast of bacon, chocolate chip pancakes, eggs, and some 2% milk to wash it all down. I "L" word my new purple hoodie I found at Wal Mart. I "L" word hanging with my buddies. Now I've never "been in L word" but just right there I've "L" worded 3 different things.

Lately I've noticed how often people (especially girls) throw out the "L" word to everyone and anyone. (Yes, I realize you are probably reading this and it's dawning on you who you are, and that you are the inspiration behind my post. haha. It's all in good fun. No insult or malice intended.) Back to the subject:

Why do we feel the need to say the "L" word when "like" is more than effective. Facebook has it figured out! If they could get a double like I would "double-like" that. But I definitely wouldn't "L" word it. "L" words are like steak dinners. You shouldn't give em out all the time. Pretty soon people will start taking your steak dinners for granted and treating them like the smarties you get during Halloween. And everyone knows smarties are the worst. How about we start mixing in these words:

like
adore
enjoy
fancy
appreciate
have a weakness for
care for
find irresistible
hold dear

I hope this helps improve your vocabulary. And brings more meaning to your "L" words. Oh and I hope you all "L" word this post...

will smith may have been right



Today was stake conference. Me, Tim, and Brent were about 5 minutes late, which means we were exiled to the overflow to watch the broadcast. I had no idea this was a multistake broadcast until we got there. Well as we were walking in, all 3 of us noticed a super gorgeous blonde in a red coat. We all looked at each other, and in the unspoken guy language we all were thinking the same thing. daaaaaang!

Well as luck would have it she sat but a couple rows away from us in the overflow. Now if you've ever met me, you know I'm not scared to talk to a girl. But for some reason this time I totally chickened out and didn't say anything to her after the meeting. It might be a good thing that I didn't say anything, because we think she might be a robot. Here's why:

She seems like there isn't a physical flaw. White teeth, perfect hair, great physique. First sign of a robot. Next, as we were leaving the meeting so was she; and she had her truck parked right in front of the church. No girl is that good looking AND drives a truck unless they are married and they're borrowing their husband's. And obviously she's single because she was in the single's ward meeting. Also, the license plate was from Arizona. That means she likes warm weather as opposed to cold. It was at this point that Brent concluded: "Yep definitely a robot!" We all decided that having a robot girlfriend would be cool, for a few years. But inevitably we would have to kill her with great prejudice during the robot apocalypse...
