No flippin' kidding. No more wearing high heels without socks.

I have a date with a shy pre-mi that usually is uncomfortable with talking to anyone, let alone girls, but he is somewhat comfortable talking with me! Hooray for helping shy guys get out of their shells! I'm a firm believer in pre-mis being comfortable with conversation before they have to talk to sometimes unfriendly strangers; also believe in pre-mis casually dating before the mission so as not to freak out around girls when they come home.

Either way they freak out when they come home.

Me neither.

Tacky, tacky, tacky.

I wish I had something relevant to say regarding this.... maybe I'll go back in time to when men wore high heels and try them on. Or wait for them to come into style.

Eh, true, but I would argue not as much if you casual date before hand. Otherwise, you're adding the anxiety of your first dates with the RM syndrome (battling the irony of being scared of girls that you're supposed to marry them ASAP.) It seems like it would be more stressful. I have a friend that never went out on a date before his mission, and I worry about how he will deal with it when he comes home.

Yeah, my brother is in the same boat. He, for his own odd reasons, isn't planning on going out with anyone until he gets off his mission. Maybe I can make an argument that way to persuade him to go on a casual date before he leaves. (Although he will freak out anyways when he gets back assuredly.)

It's still not good, even if you do it right. This is from our choir teacher. Although he may be a high school teacher, he's good enough to get us invited to Austria next summer for ten days, where we will be the only high school choir, and only one of a few non-professional (read: college) choirs for the 200th (I think) anniversary of Haydn's death. The rest are all semi-professional choirs. We'll be singing in some of the greatest concert halls in the world.



I'm pretty excited, in case you couldn't tell.

Maybe this thread should be renamed Drama 3.0 . . .

Just wanted to interject to congratulate you, and say that is completely, unabashedly awesome. Take good pictures.

Dude, he's in high school. Kind of negates definition of "REliving."

My choral glory days were probably in 7th grade. I was in the Salt Lake Children's Choir. (I was even a poster girl!) We went to Vegas and LA. And sang for the opening of Libby Gardner Hall. Ralph Woodward Jr. is an excellent composer.

I was in All-State Choir too. To my annoyance, the Tabernacle was being renovated, so we sang in the nice marshmallow that is UVSC's basketball stadium.

But yeah. I was no choral prodigy like some of you seem to be. That would be a fun thing to get back into, but I've never really been a stand-out soloist--mroe the type who can hold a tune and a section together.

Okay, I feel better now.

Tell me it was Craig Jessop... oh, please, let it be Craig Jessop!

Actually, I'm interested to hear this story -- tears are the nectar of life to a poor, cynical old soul.

This is one time I'm going to have to agree, if for no other reason that damning someone to hell is a rather . . . interesting way to start off a relationship.

However, as brother Craig put it, "Chemistry is my love child." And Calculus BC is fun too, especially if you're the ounly junior in the class. Sorry. I had to brag a little bit. I hope you forgive my pride. Except Swicket. I know he thinks I'm silly and inane, as well as the fact that he is inconsistent, first ridiculing you all for nominating yourselves to my cabinet, then thinking that I would have a significant other, let alone children.

Who is the momma of Craig's baby?

MSN? Soooo 2006. :P

Chemistry is the illegitimate love child of English and me.

Almost Portia, you almost had 6 posts in a row again. Go for the gold!

Yeah, whatever, mate. : P
