"It's all fun and games until someone yells Avada Kadava"

Guess I'll have to explain this title... So Megan Bahr and I were up on campus watching people walk by. I brought my camera because I thought a bunch of people would be all dressed up for the Harry Potter movie tonight at midnight. I told Megan this and she said, "I wish we had our own magic Harry Potter world..." and I replied back, "Ya, well it's all fun and games until someone yells Avada Kadava." (The Killing Curse). She laughed a little, but was mostly upset I killed her dreams of a magic world...

So here at college I've really been into doing fun things like being in movies (Deception and BYU vs. UoU Food Drive) other fun random activities. Last night as a pre-celebration of the Harry Potter movie coming out, I went to the Harry Potter Fest that BYU put on. But I didn't go as a wizard, I went as a snitch. Yep, the golden ball that the seekers must find in the Wizard game of Quidditch.

Basically my job was to run around with a gold outfit during the game of Quidditch and not got my flags pulled. It was a lot of fun!

I've noticed that most of the best and most fun things I've done at college have been spur of the moment decisions. Carpe Diem!

Also, today I found out that my family got a puppy! Its a little Beagle puppy and they're planning on naming it Bailey. It's been over a year that Greta, my last dog died. She was a Yellow Lab and such a nice, sweet dog. I kinda feel a little sad that we are replacing her, but I'm also pretty excited for Bailey :)

I'm pretty pumped for Thanksgiving Break, it's definitely a much needed break! We only have a few more weeks until finals and I'm definitely feeling it drawing closer and closer. I'm just going to have a nice relaxing Thanksgiving here at school, but will definitely miss my family. I won't see them (and Bailey now too) until Christmas.

Overall life is pretty good, we've had some flooding problems in our hall but thats about it. I think I'll end with a funny little status I saw on Facebook:

My First Post

Well, I have joined the blogosphere! Pretty crazy, I never really saw myself ever making one but here I am! I'm not one really to toot my own horn, so I think this blog will mostly be about insights and experiences I've had that people will enjoy.

I guess I should start off explaining the title. My life is crazy and sometimes I feel like things that happen in my life could be a sketch for series for a comedy show. Sometimes situations are just so bizarre or badly timed that I think that someone must be watching me on a screen and just laughing non-stop. I hope to share these experiences so that the world can get enjoyment out of "my comedy show."

I don't claim to really know anything, in fact I've heard it said something along the lines of, "You don't really know anything until you realize that you know nothing." But I sure have one heck of an opinion.

I guess it's important in my first blog to come straight out and say that I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or Mormon). Recently it has become kind of an unpopular thing to say, but I'm proud to say I'm a Mormon true and blue.

I do think of myself as a pretty tolerant and respecting person no matter what lifestyle,   and that is why I ask the same for mine. I'm no hippie, but I do believe that the world is   full of too much hate and could use a little more understanding and brotherly love.

I guess this is a good start, I don't know, I'm new to this whole thing?? But if anyone has really bothered to read any of this, thank you :)

I think I'll try to finish each post with a quote or scripture that might spur some thoughts:

"Each person knows that he is a something.
He also knows that a something could not be produced by a nothing.
Therefore, whatever brought man and everything else into existence also had to be a 'something'.
It follows that this 'something' which did all of this organizing and arranging would have to be all knowing to the full extent required for such an organization and arrangement.
This 'something' would therefore have to be superior to everything which resulted from this effort.
This element of superiority makes this 'something' the ultimate good for all that has been organized and arranged.
In the Anglo-Saxon language, the word for supreme or ultimate good is 'God.'"
-John Locke
