Just because I have thoughts.

I was looking at this girl's myspace profile, at her pictures. She probably has about 30, in all these different poses and in all these different clothes. One specifically in these lack of clothes. (Not naked, but wearing a swimming suit. Or maybe underwear. I don't really know.)

Anyway, so I'm just really glad that I don't need that. I don't want that. I don't want to have the attention of my body in all these provocative positions. I don't want the image of me with less and less clothes circling around the internet, and that is something I'm grateful for.

I'm happy with who I am, and I'm glad that I'm interesting enough that people like me anyway.

As was once said by one of my friends from church, "girls who do that to get boys attention are just stupid. At least I know when a guy's talking to me, it's because he actually wants to talk to me, not because he thinks I'm easy."

Hooray 2010!

So graduation was this week. It totally rocked. Chaelomen's was on Sunday, then mine was on Monday.

Chaelomen gave me bunny ears. I didn't notice for the first picture, but I did for this one.


We all look the same, so I circled me. Within a 2-person radius.

I played cymbols for my last concert. Woo haha.

I got my Five Star Diploma :D

(Which means that I:

-earned 23 credits

-had at least a 3.5 GPA

-got proficient or advanced on all my CSAP scores

-got a 23 or more on my ACTs

-met CDHD requirements

-participated in all state-mandated assessments)

He refused to give me a kiss haha. But politely.

It was fun. Definitely a lot better than the ones I'd been to the past few years, playing in the band.

Dear Bishop,

I have recently changed wards. My records were requested out of the Woodglen Ward and into the Single's Branch.

It was also been brought to my attention that last time I tried to change wards, my records were requested right back. Although I'm glad you don't want to lose such a precious gem as me, I would appreciate it if we didn't request my records back again.

I find it important that I actually end up in this directory, in case people need or want to contact me.

Yours Truly,
Samara

P.S. Tell Mom not to cry. I'll go to the Woodglen Ward at least one more time, just for her.

So close...

I had my last band concert last night. :) It was fun haha. Usually mass band concerts are really boring, because they hand out all the awards and everything, which about doubles the time of the concert. But yesterday, everyone in percussion stood around telling jokes. It was fun.

And let me just say that I'm really glad that I don't have any more concerts ever. It's awesome. One of the girls yesterday was crying because she was sad to be leaving band, and that just blows me away. I didn't know anyone liked band that much. I mean, I'll miss all the kids in band and everything, but the joy of not having to be in band anymore totally outweighs all that. Well, actually. I'll miss a few of the kids in band and everything.

I was just never really good friends with most of the kids in band, and I'm glad I got to know all of them, but the only time I've ever defined myself as a band geek was freshman year, when I really enjoyed band a lot, but after that things went downhill. So I don't really mind losing contact with everyone. We still have facebook, too, if I still want to keep tabs on anyone, I can.

I'm really excited to graduate :D I'm getting all the announcements out this week.
