getting a move made on

As much as I would like for this blog post to be about a girl I met who pulled some moves on me, it is merely about how a guy at my work, who does not describe himself as transgender, but rather "intersex" left me a note while I was working last night, that went a little something like this...

(his cell and home number)

Savante
Hey handsome, give me a call sometime,
I would love to get to know you better.

so basically I was a little shocked to say the least, but then I realized after asking a few other co-workers who were also working at the time, that I talk a lot, and I am friendly, which I guess could come across as "hey I want you".

the better part of this story is that when I talked to him today, he said he didn't know I was mormon, and then proceeded to tell me about how he was in the Issaquah 6th ward, or something like that, and that the bishop had to ask the general authorities if it was ok to have Savante in the ward, and they said that it was, depending on what gender he identified with. but then he says something to me about "well then I had to decide which half goes to priesthood and which half goes to relief society".

needless to say, this has been one interesting week for me :)

girl scout cookies help fund what exactly?

Well I heard that there was a big controversy surrounding girl scouts, and what they use the proceeds from their cookie sales for. I heard that the money doesn't even go to help fund girls going to camps, or help the homeless, or anything like that, but rather they help the girls afford Jonas Brothers concert tickets! So my father wanted to see what they said on the site what the benefits were for the girls selling cookies. In the site under the section of the site that said "Benefits for girls" there were some bullet points, and there was a picture of a sailor, so naturally my father was surprised and made a great comment, which was "The benefits for girls are... SAILORS?!" maybe that isn't as funny to all of my readers as it was to me, but I laughed quite a bit about that.

permit, phai thai, and people

Well I haven't blogged in a while, which I know deeply saddens most of you, but I have had some new developments in my life, such as receiving my driver's permit, trying my first dish of Phai thai food, and my first time driving I almost drove into a curb due to being distracted by a lovely daughter of god...

I tried driving with my dad in the Redmond High school parking lot on sunday, and because I know lots of friends who live near there, I called all of their families to tell them to stay away from the parking lot, if they valued their lives. My first thought about driving is that it is difficult, my second thought is that I might shorten my father's life significantly if I practice driving with him too often.
