Trying to get the attention of that special someone??? Here are some lines that may help you with getting a date!!! So what was it like, falling out of heaven? You don't seem bruised at all. If you were a taser, the entire room would be stunned. Am I dying? You have to know. You're an angel, right? Do you have a bandaid? I scraped my knee when I fell for you. You must be tired because you've been running through my mind all day. Are they LDS because we live in Utah? We have that covered too!!!  I just got off my mission, and I’m looking for my next companion.    Is your name Virtue? Because you’ve been garnishing my thoughts unceasingly.  You seem familiar. Did we meet in the pre-existence?  Guy says: “You know, I’m constantly on a spiritual high.” Girl: “Oh yeah? Why?” Guy: “Because not even Moses got to see a vision every day—and I get to see you.”  Even with the Liahona, I ...

My name is not Dorothy, but I am trying to find my way back to Kansas. You know, Kansas. The place where I feel best about myself? Maybe you don't know, but take it from someone who yearns for that place. I wanna go back to those days. If I could, I would take all my friends to see the good me. The me that still believed in invincibility. The me that didn't know that for some people, Santa was a creepy, forty year old that wore a wife beater and got stoned every other day. I want them to see the boy who didn't understand the concept of pain and sadness. The boy who cried because he saw his dad crying, but still didn't understand why. The boy who would laugh and smile all day for no reason other than why not. I want to show my family and my friends and my peers all that I once was. Show them what the real world can do to someone who has absolutely no problem with life. Let me have that frame of mind back. At least for a da...

I remember when my belief in love was completely shattered. My "girlfriend" was my best friend was my biggest support. My parents "loved" me and would do anything for me because they enjoyed being around me. I was told lies of "I love you" and they meant a lot to me, but they ended up meaning as much as salad means to Stanley from The Office. I was lied to about love. How could they harm someone so much? I'm pretty sure that could have been tried for cruel and unusual punishment. My girlfriend was too much for me to handle and even though I was the one to break it off, I'm pretty sure she wasn't too upset about it. I went through a depressing stage in my life and my parents decided to do something about it. Something I never thought they would have done. They sent me to a behavior hospital.  I guess I may be leaving a minor detail out, but that can come out later. I could tell you, but you would probably forget. My parents had decide...

I know I'm human because when my mom was making me feel like nothing tonight, I felt something. I was able to feel the loneliness and sadness that I have come to live with so often. I felt my heart bleeding out all the dreams and hopes I've wanted. I asked myself if nothing could be felt. I decided to get back to me after my mom was done getting mad. I came back to myself with an answer. It was yes. What I told me next was something that I would have never expected me to speak of. I told me of a sad story. I told me of a boy who was chasing his dreams on his bicycle and when he was in arms reach, he fell off and broke his leg and arm. He was unable to chase his dreams after that. I asked him what his dream was that he was chasing. He told me it was happiness and although we was temporarily injured, he would catch it one day. I told him that his pursuit of happiness was foolish and that no one can ever be truly happy. He looked me square in the eye and said that only t...

It's never too early for Christmas, so... -1 supersonic water slide -1 actual, real pool with sharks, to match the new water slide -1 TV taller than me (or even better, a TV taller than you, mom) -2 trees that grow cinnamon rolls -One lump sum fair market value payment for my manual labor around the house since birth (with interest) -1 dragon the breathes fire -1 dragon that breathes that fire extinguisher stuff -3 meteors taller than me -The smell of Wednesday -1 panacea for an affliction of a cumbersome ideal -My handwriting as a computer font -1 new towel (the non-evil kind) -Hope -New Family -Happiness -Love

This is for the dreamers. For those who love and love, but don't receive any back. This is for the weary. The miles they've ran chasing it like a butterfly. This is for the brokenhearted and downtrodden. This is for the pessimists. This is for the jealous. This is for the nervous. This is for the ones who have never experienced it. Go for i t. You'll never know what'll happen if you don't try.

Growing up scares me. I'm afraid of every aspect of it. I don't think I could handle the stress of bills and taxes and having a job and raising kids and remembering everything that needs to get done and keeping up with football and basketball. More than that, I'll miss being a kid. I'll miss worrying about when the cartoons are on and I'll miss the peace of mind that I received when my Dad told me they didn't start for another 10 minutes. I'll miss watching Disney movies with my family on Sunday nights as I stuff myself with no bake cookies. The cookies never had peanut butter in them. That meant the world to me because I couldn't get down anything that even smelled of peanut butter. What I'm doing now and where I will be in 10 years will all depend on how I think. But go 5 years into the past, and it was all based on passion. If I heard the ice cream man, I wouldn't think, "If I buy ice cream now, I don't think I...
