So. Life is going really good here at BYU. Although, something is wrong with one of my classes.. none of my homework is being posted as in...

So what's up for today... um.. I have to mail Bryan's 14 page letter that was written at 2 in the morning, find out christer's address and write him, write weston, go return my library books, spend hours in the lab, talk to Karl... (more about him in a minute), go to the academic advisement center, call joey, and finish the rest of my homework.

I am the WARD ORGANIST. and I am on the ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE, and I am the WARD I-CAN-ACCOMPANY-JUST-ABOUT-ANYTHING-ON-THE- PIANO-AND-SEEM-TO-HAVE-LOTS-OF-FREE-TIME-SO-GO-AHEAD-AND-CALL-ME. Sheesh.

Oh.. I need to tell you guys about beth. Beth is my totally-my-roomate-but-living-in-another room roomate. Alli, my first roomate, ordered a single room before she came here, and then 3 days into the semester, one opened up, so she moved out, leaving me with my own room and room..mate.. less. (think hercules... "you were supposed to convince the river guardian.... and here I am river... guardian...-less.")

Anyway, Beth, or Elizabeth, is the girl who lives across the hall and up a number... (so across the hall and to the right of me.) and she has an amazing voice. She's like the next Kelly Clarkson I'm not kidding. (I think I referenced her a couple posts ago.) She's taken me under her wing. and has been teaching me how to be myself. We'll go down and she'll have music for me to play on the piano, and she'll sing. Just like that. She'll go.. "Come on laura.. lets go play." and I'll be like "Ok". She's sleeping on the other bed right now.

She was really really loopy the other night. Like really.. and she decided to try and find something to do at 11:30, and was trying to take me with her. Well, after she hooked up with a couple guys.. me thinking that they'll knock some sense into her, that its monday, and there's nothing open at 11:30, and there's school on tuesday.. I went back upstairs to my dorm. Well, 3:30 am, I get a phone call on my cell.. (I'm sleeping, just minding my own business, when my phone starts to ring, and I am suddenly out of my bed wandering around my room looking for my cell, which as soon as I became aware of my situation, didn't even realize was ringing.) it was beth, and she was calling to tell me that she was locked out. and I relaxed and was like.. you're more than welcome to sleep in my room... (she's done that before when her laundry has taken over her bed) and she's like.. no babe.. I'm locked outside the building. and I was like.. you mean I have to get up.. and she's like yep. So at 3:30 in the morning. I am leaving my dorm, to walk down 3 flights of stairs, to open the door, to ask where the heck did she go, to spend the last 4 hours... and of all the answers.... she found A BONFIRE.

an outside note here, I think this situation is utterly hilarious. she was really loopy to the point where, when we were outside the sports camp hall, and guys were whistling at us, she was like "I think I'm the first thing with ovaries that they've seen in a long time." Anyway back to my story...

So I opened the door.. and wandered back up 3 flights of steps, and back to my wonderfully now cold bed.

the bliss of life.

So Karl.

What do I say about him?

He's going to read this and laugh and make fun of me. Sheesh

so How do I describe him. Perfect? Not a good enough word. I like him. Alot. Does that describe him. Guess What? He likes ME! We're practically Gf/bf in my opinion, though we haven't officially called ourselves that. He's Christer's brother, and since day one we have hit it off. We've talked on the web cam for hours, and played games over the internet, and called each other's phones alot. You want me to describe him? k. (stop laughing Karl.) he's really really sweet. There isn't anyway that anyone can hate him. He acts in the interest of others. He worries about how others will feel based on his actions. He has a strong testimony of the Gospel. He's very sympathetic and tender, and yet, knows when to be sarcastic. He has the most BEAUTIFUL EYES I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. He'll like roll them (kinda) when we're talking, and it will make me laugh. when he actually looks straight at the camera, and I can totally see his eyes, I have to smile. He makes me smile when he smiles.. (I'm lovesick.. can't you tell?) and the best part is.. I HAVEN'T MET HIM IN PERSON YET. at the time of writing this sentence, I have approximately 33 days, 23 hours, and 38 minutes till I meet him.. give or take.

He's in michigan. (does that answer your question.) So just out of funness...
First words I ever said: so..... you are christer's brother?
Karl: let me check
Karl: ye
Karl:s
Karl: that means yes

Me. so what day are you coming out?
Karl: haha, around the 29th i think
Karl: Of august
Me: oh
Karl: yes, august 29th
Me: That's like a month
Karl: yeah I know
Me: more than a month
Karl: it'll be a long wait, I know
Me: look at me.. I can fo math....
Me: and not type
Karl.. and you can spell too!

Karl: a girl with a computer science major who's a year ahead of me in college already = jealous... it puts me to shame.

Me: just how much did christer tell you?
Karl: Every detail, down to what kind of nailpolish you wear
Karl: but let me guess
Karl: you aren't wearing any!

Me: (reading his facebook profile) wait a second
me: Star wars
Me: not star trek?
Karl: Star wars = life
me: star WARS?
Karl.. Star Trek is second ot star wars
Karl: I'm sorry, but that's the way it is
Me: ok that's it... no more talking to me..
Karl: FINE!!
Me: You're not allowed...
(at this point I proceeded to set my messanger status to appear offline... and waited 10 seconds before switching it back)
Karl: Gasp
me: j/k
Karl... I'm speechless

Karl: a plant told me I was going to live long today
me: oh really?
Karl: it was this little plant I bought at target
Karl: yeah!
me: and it told you
Karl: it had a fortune on its leaf after I watered it!
Karl: and it was like "live long"
Karl: so I'm listening to it...
me: and prosper?
Karl: no.. just live long
Karl: So it could be a miserable long life
Karl: stuck in a home, probably
Karl: with arthritis
....
Karl: I'm gonna be playing video games till my brain melts when I'm old.
Karl: what else is there to do?
Me: Exactly
Me: I'll be doing that too
Me: We can do it together
Karl: cool, you can have someone wheel you over to my home and we'll have video game tournaments.

Me: don't tell me you ALWAYS follow the rules
Karl: oh yes, all the time. even when TPing
Karl: Gotta do it right

That was all during the first conversation with him. He makes me laugh, and I'm able to be myself around him, which is one of the more important characteristics...
So. I think this is enough for one post... I'll come back later...
