Everybody's Doing It

Am I really doing it?

A few minutes ago I was invited to view a friend's new blog. Then I got to thinking, am I the only one without a blog? No, but for reasons of practicality -yes. I was first inspired by the girls over at the dollhouse. Their blog is simply the best. Furthermore, today is Thursday and we all know what that means! Nothing but ice skating class. 2-3:40. What a day to blog... take a break for some waltz jumps and triple salchows... then blog.

Gambling. Essentially, thats what a blog is. If I spend all this time writing, how do I know that even one person is going to read it? Do people even like reading blogs? Publishing a new post is like pulling the lever on the slots. If three lucky 7's role out, then that is 21 people to read my blog. But if I pull a cherry, a diamond, and a star, then what good does that do me? Cherries can't read, diamonds are in the sky with Lucy, and stars like Taylor Swift hardly have the time to read about the lives of their biggest fans. Me.

So I'm hoping that the slot machine rolls out everybody that I love. Because what use is living if you can't love and be loved? Rhetorical.

And GUESS WHAT?! I submitted my mission papers to my bishop yesterday!! ...Elder Benjamin Quinn Coburn. Not quite yet, but it's got a nice ring, huh? I am way too excited to describe. Ok, but here's a secret. I really am scared about having expectations for where I will be called. Of course, everybody wants to be called to Atlantis, or some equally enchanting part of the world. I am trying my very hardest not to expect some place really cool. And no doubt, I will go wherever the Lord needs me.
