Stake Conference Part Two

The other day I realized I forgot a very important part of my latest Stake Conference adventure.  Sunday after conference we were driving back to our apartments. Because almost everyone in our stake lives in the same complex pretty much everyone around us on the road was coming from UVU to our complex, just like us. When we hit a stop light I turn to look at the car next to us, and something bizarre took place. A boy about my age opened the back door of the car, walked around to the side of the road, picked up a big rock (there were decorative rocks along the edge of the road), went back to the car and shut the door.  A few seconds later the light changed and we all drove off, everyone in my car laughing and very confused. Probably my favorite part about this was that he left the car door open as he grabbed his rock. And he was so matter-of-fact about it, like this was something completely normal. 
My question is- what was the rock for? Maybe it was destined to become a pet rock and he was going to name it Steve. Or maybe he needed a way to prop his apartment door open. Or a new paper weight? It was pretty big to be a paper weight. Anyways, I thought it was pretty great. It's the kind of thing that only happens around teenagers.
And on a side note, if you are ever in need of a good laugh, convince your roommates to do restorative yoga. I couldn't concentrate on my homework. I was sorely tempted to video-tape it and then put it on here so everyone would know what I mean, but I decided to show mercy on my friends. Besides, they know where I sleep. Revenge would be all too easy for them.

Starburst Commercial


I know I'm posting twice in one day, but I can't resist. This is my favorite commercial in a long time. My roommate and I have been quoting it non-stop since we first saw it.

A long overdue post on my adventures last weekend

I have been planning on this post since last Saturday and just haven't had the time. Well, I 've decided to make time. So there ninja homework and tutorial video. You'll just have to wait.
Last weekend was Stake Conference. For those who aren't LDS, it's basically just a really big church meeting, and there's an adult meeting Saturday night. I got a ride from one of my friends to the Saturday meeting. We were going to be late because we had to pick someone up from work, but we figured we could all be just a few minutes late.
Unfortunately, there were two basketball games in the area that night, and we got caught in traffic. And then somehow... we got totally and completely lost. The place we were going to wasn't very far, yet we ended up on the highway. So basically we came at the building from the opposite direction.
Guess how much of the conference session we made it to?
Twenty minutes.
It was an excellent twenty minutes.
We laughed about it the whole time, and thankfully we were on time to the session the next day. It was very spiritual, every speaker did a great job.
