But, but . . . Czech is awesome! All of my friends consistently rate Prague as their favorite European city!

It's sad to think about moving.
But it's a new adventure!
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
aww yeah, moving is a pain and it's hard to make new friends. On the other hand, I've heard fantastic things about Chicago, so maybe that will be exciting?

One of my good friends just got a mission call to NYC! "There's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York, these streets will make you feel brand-new, big lights will inspire you!"

Dead Cat's birthday is so important that it should be celebrated year round!

Less than one day after a massage and my shoulders are already a knot of tension, again.

I know how you feel Katya. But thankfully, things should calm down a little bit more me after the end of this month. At least, that is what I tell myself. ;D

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
On another note,
I recently joined another ward. Hooray. But I just remembered that my picture for the last directory was awesome. So I'm trying to get to it so I can save it to my computer before it's too late, because the picture I took for the new ward has my bangs in the middle of my forehead like a ... person that ... looks weird.
Anyway.
I can't find myself in the directory.
And I can't get to my own profile either. I'm not in the new directory yet...
So, sad. I loved that picture. I could always email the photographer, she might still have it. Is it worth it, though?

Apparently my subconscious is of the opinion that giving birth is easy and can happen alone in a bunk bed in less than two minutes with zero pain. Ha, good one subconscious!
