Radiating Joy

So, my last post was about a month ago...

In that time, I have fallen in love with spring, and become addicted to The Office. I have also discovered I am much, much better at using watercolor paints than I am at using the other kind that I can't spell xP It's, like, acryllic, I think... O.o. Maybe I'll get some pictures of my pictures up sometime ;)

Anyway, I really just wanted to check in. Life has kind of come to a griding halt lately. I have plenty going on, I suppose, but... you know how it is? It's just a routine that I go through, every single week.

Oh, yeah, speaking of routines, Savior of the World practice has been bumped from every other Sunday and the first Tuesday/Wednesday of the month to every other Tuesday AND Wednesday, plus every other Sunday. I try not to complain, and I try to have a good attitude, and I try to tell myself that I'm growing spiritually, like they promised I would. But I don't see how pretending to be an angel and walk across the gym like a stuck-up model is going to help me grow spirtually. Or how dressing up in bright colors, and prancing around the Primary room, celebrating Mary's and Joseph's wedding will help me grow spiritually, either. I think it's just a bad idea for a Youth Conference. But I try so hard xP (Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what you're all thinking - 'she shouldn't be complaining,' or 'if she just had a better attitude, she would have fun...'

I'll be honest. I ditched out on practices tonight. I had a pretty rough day, and I just didn't feel like going and acting happy - because I'm supposed to radiate joy. Grrrrrr... Grr! (In case any of you don't know, that's what they told me when they assigned to be Mary's cousin. I hate it when people act like a small part is so great and grand and huge. I seriously think they should just tell you what you have, and you go on with life. But, the whole radiating joy thing definitely makes the whole thing funnier - especially when the unorganization is making me frustrated. I slap on a smile and I radiate joy.)

Well, I'm going to go practice prancing and radiating joy. I'll see you all later ;).
