BLEH.

(that was the barfing noise chunk makes. on "The Goonies".)

i really don't like this blog. i love the period of time in my life that it covers, but i don't feel that i've portrayed what i can/should to the world.

particularly because i went through my indie brat phase immediately after it began. haha.

therefore, it's going to die. (and by die, i mean i'm going to stop writing in it. i don't think i'll delete it. yet. maybe.)

i wanted to have some awesome-special-reboost as my 100th post, perhaps redeeming everything... but i wasn't paying attention, and it's actually just the post in which i announced my mission call. but i think that's fitting. because that's why this is ending.

I believe The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to contain the most true gospel on the earth right now. And I know it's the one true way to happiness. Therefore, although I am conSIDerably flawed, I have chosen to dedicate the next 18 months (beginning April 27th) of my life to sharing it with others. I will be a representative of the church all day, every day, 24-7. It's just something I need to do. I want to help people to find love and happiness and worth in their lives; I've been so blessed, I know there are lots of things I need to do in return. And, for me personally, this is one of them.

SO. i will write til my bday. or something. maybe til i leave. i'm not having anyone in my family post my emails on my blog or facebook, i'd rather just write an old-fashioned letter to anyone that wants to hear from me. (and i've love to hear from you!) i'll post my address later. when it's closer. BUT. this is the official explanation of why this blog is going to be done when i leave.

i love blogging, i think i'll do it somewhere else, when i get back...we'll see. :)
