Song of the Day!

Hello Everyone! (More Like "Hi Self!") So if you are going to want to continue viewing my song of the day, you will have to do so here. I've decided this seems like a good way to practice my writing and let my thoughts flow more freely. Today the song is Place in this World by Michael W. Smith. The story of how I discovered this song is an interesting one. It first entered my life when I was in 8 grade and that year's madrigals sang it. At that point, the song meant nothing to me. However, when I found it again on Mrs. Hayward's website the next year, it really hit home! It really reminded me of one of my friends, so I downloaded the piano music and fell in love with it. Just recently, I have started reflecting on myself in this song. I am to this day ever so grateful to have discovered such a beauty. (Remind me to go off on a tangeant about the word grateful sometime.)

 "Looking for a reason, roaming through the night to find my place in this world. Not a lot to lean on; I need Your light to help me find my place in this world." Isn't that so beautiful?! Just help me discover who I am and who I need to be! I need to know my purpose so that I can fulfill it and not wander in the dark wondering where I'm going. Help me discover myself. Yeah, I would really recommend listening to this song. It changes my life!

Little Chillin's

        Hey Ya'll! The wedding plans are coming along nicely! The newest addition is the names of our children. It has been established that we are going to have 8, but we decided their initials have to spell COUNSELS when put in order. The word COUNSELS originated last year in our Geography class. We both started having twitches in our eyes. We decided to come up with a code, since yelling out, "You're eye is twitching again!" wasn't going to go well. Jessie picked up my book, turned to a random page, and decided the code name would be the first word she saw. Of course it couldn't be something like shoelace, or soufle, or pineapple, but it was counseling. From then on that has been the one trait we hold most dearly to each other, our counseling.

           Here are the requirements for each of our children. We have names we think would work nicely, but if you have any other suggestions email me! We could have a baby name contest!

Child 1: Female, Adopted Asian, Name starting with C
Child 2: Male, Quintuplet, Name starting with O
Child 3: Female, Quintuplet, Name starting with U
Child 4: Male, Quintuplet, Name starting with N
Child 5: Female, Quintuplet, Name starting with S
Child 6: Male, Quintuplet, Name starting with E
Child 7: Female, Adopted Asian, Name starting with L
Child 8: Male, Adopted Asian, Name starting with S


Our ideas for names are the following (These are improvements since the first names were Zebediah and Zazzles):

Cammy
Octavian
Ursula
Nigel
Siberia
Edvard
LizzyBeth
Stephen


The name Cammy originated from Chameleon. LizzyBeth is the way it is because we wanted Elizabeth, but E had to be male. So LizzeBeth is the next closest thing. If you have any other suggestions that are relatively unnormal, then email them to me! Anything is better than Zazzles. (I had to promise to name our fish that.)

Social Status

So today in sunday school, we were talking about the talents that we each have.... We were discussing how I was musical, and I added that I also had pretty good social skills. The day before, I was at a choir performance and was demonstrating how horribly I can sing in falsetto. One stranger turned to me and said, "No offense, but I thought there was a handicapped person back there." I was also able to convince two others that they were colorblind. (For those of you who are wondering, it took some crafty improv from some of my other friends as well.) I also performed a stunning version of Stars I Shall Find in interpretive dance. I consider all of these as rousing examples of how social I can be. Later that day in church, I was walking with one of the people in my class. When we saw others in the class, we walked over. I decided that would be a good time to demonstrate my falsetto ugliness again... The other person turned to me and said, "Yes, you have miraculous social skills. Walking up to people and making goat noises sure helps you make lots of friends." For the friendless out there, you should really try imitating goats and creeky doors. You're welcome,

This is All Happening So Fast...

Hello Everyone! So the other day in chemistry, some interesting things happened. We were eating pie, and I thought someone mentioned marionberries, which I love. So I asked, "Did someone say marionberry?" Then Jessie turns to me and says, "Did you just propose? Yes!" So I guess I'm engaged... Here are the wedding plans:

• We will be married on April 1, 2019
• Our colors will be indigo and dandelion yellow
• We'll have a Hindu style reception
• We'll live in Bellingham, Washington
• We'll have 8 children. 5 will be Quintuplets, and the other 3 will be Asians adopted from Vancouver.
• Jessie already has most of them named, but they were all odd and in Slovak so I can't remember them. 

Hopefully nothing happens between now and then to ruin these plans. Of course, maybe I do want something to happen to ruin them...

1463

Hello again! I'm sure you have all been wondering, "Geez, I wonder who Logan had randomly stalked today!" I have to say, nobody. But I have had a stalker. They lived in my ear and muffled my hearing for the week. I named him Pat. Pat really liked to make it so I couldn't hear out of my left ear. What I could hear came across as an echo which was slightly a different pitch than the real sound. It was annoying. Luckily, Pat has moved in to stalk someone else.

    The other day I heard my Seminary teacher say the number 1463. I can't remember exactly what he said, but the number stuck in my head. I have decided it is the key to the universe and everything will revolve around it. It must have been Pat telling me his address....

Expanding Horizons

I have been given a challenge by one of my good friends! The challenge is to make 3 friends tomorrow. This will probably be hard, but I'm determined to do it! Anyone else that wants to do it with me go ahead! Email the results and I'll put the progress on here! (I like to pretend like I'm talking to a lot of people even though it's mostly myself)

Email Exchange

If anyone has seen the It Just Gets Stranger  blog, you know how hilarious it can be. So I decided to send the following email to the owner, Eli McCann:

Greetings from a closet! I read on your website that you would listen to my secrets, so here it goes. I secretly enjoy sleeping in large pots. When I'm not surfing on your website, I enjoy surfing on the ceiling. Sometimes I pretend I'm a walrus floating on ice in the Caspian Sea. It would be awful lonely there. I know your feelings towards O2. I had a pet tomato plant named mater. When he tragically froze, we had him cremated and his ashes were spread through his homeland. I have a nasty habit of throwing toothpaste at old people. My falsetto voice is named Gloria. Those are all of my deepest secrets.
   It seems to me that you have not been your normal self on your posts lately. There are probably many causes, but my best guess is it is because of the tsunamis in slovakia. Just hang in there buddy. I sink into the same slovakian depression every year around this time. I have found that coloring pictures can help resolve this issue. So I found my 48 box of crayons and drew this just for you:

I hope you thoroughly enjoy it. I have found coloring solves all of my problems, and hope to see you turning to it more often as well.

Sincerely,
Wesley(or whatever other fake name you like)

PS. I feel like there should always be a ps, so frogs.


And three days later, I got this response:

Dear Wesley,

The attached image has brought me nothing but great joy and magic. I will forever retain it. Until I forget my password to this email account, that is.

Eli

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
