Because I don't believe When the morning comes It doesn't seem to say An awful lot to me All alone, all alone

Some random things:

*Last Sunday I was called to be a primary worker, and I'm stoked. I get to be in there with my baby bro, and this way Da can go to Sunday School, and I'll get experience with little kids

*I took pictures in The Beyond today, and it was BEAUTIFUL out there. I stood out there for like 10 minutes just looking at it

*I made three types of bread, and homemade brownies

*Nail polish is pretty interesting, and Wikipedia is awesome

*My list of "most favourite hymns" keeps growing. Pretty soon most of the hymns will be in there. But my most most favourite hymns are:
"Called To Serve" #249 (Has always been and will always be my first favourite)
"Lead, Kindly Light" #97 (First song I sang in church choir)
"Come Ye Thankful People" #94 (Second song I sang, I think, and that low F is just...awesome)
"Come, Come, Ye Saints" Men's Choir version #326 (Sounds so much cooler than the regular version, and again, that low F)
"Choose the Right" #239 (Really easy to play)
"The Morning Breaks" #1 (It's just pretty, and we sang it in BoM class once)
"Far, Far Away on Judea's Plains" #212 (Pretty also)
"Silent Night" #204 (I just like to sing the alto part)
"Angels We Have Heard on High: #203 (Fun to play, and I love the tenor and bass parts)
"Praise to the Man" #27 (Gotta love those Scottish folk songs)
"The Lord Is My Shepherd" Women's version #316 (Again, better than the original version; This song is so much prettier this way)
"For All the Saints" #82 (We almost sang this in choir, but didn't, but I liked it a lot after hearing it again on the Hymns CD)
"Master, the Tempest Is Raging" #105 (Fun to play)
"Be Still My Soul" #124 (I can actually play this one without going deathly slow, and it's pretty)
"Abide with Me; 'Tis Eventide" #165 (Pretty when played an octave higher, without bass and tenor parts, but pretty when played normally also)
"Christ the Lord Is Risen Today" #200 (I've only ever played the soprano and alto parts, but it's fun)

And I have secondary ones, but these are my absolute favourites and the ones that I chose to put on my iPod.

*You can't have a bad day when you listen to hymns all day

*The day is more satisfying and you feel better about yourself if you've worked for most of the time

*It is SO MUCH FUN to drive alone at night, blasting a song that you know, and singing so loudly that you strain  your vocal cords, and you start sounding horrible because your voice cracks, but it doesn't matter 'cuz no one can hear you

*It is SO MUCH FUN to play (or in my case, pretend to play) the real piano (not a stinky keyboard. So not the same), and when I was in The Beyond, I was thinking how awesome it would be if there was a piano out in the middle of the snow and I could play it outside

*I hate rap and R&B, but the Gorillaz are cool, 'cuz they're a mash-up of rap and rock and they're not vulgar. They're awesome. What would they be classified as? 

*I want to bleach my hair lighter, just for the heck of it, and 'cuz I've only gone darker

*I miss BYU-I
