Un-boring

I have interesting and exciting friends and family.

Occasionally I fall into the habit of feeling sorry for myself, usually when I’ve been particularly lazy or tired. At such a time awhile back, I thought to myself, “Am I boring?” and, being in a moment of self pity, I thought, “why, yes, yes I am”.

Then I got over it, as I always do, with a hot meal, a good nights rest, and some scripture study. I don’t think I’m un-interesting (although I have been rejected by a girl who said she “wasn’t interested”. I could go on a whole other rant on what I think that could mean.) I think I’m a modestly interesting person (and not in way of “My, what an interesting shade of green”). The seeming lack of brightness I think stems from the fact that I surround myself with characters that shine so brightly that an ordinary person might feel a little dim.



And so, since it is boring to talk about oneself all the time, as blogs tend to do, I think I’ll talk mostly about other people that I love. They are all much more interesting than me. You’ll love it. I’ll probably ask permission from most people before I expose their lives to the internet community, this is not a guarantee.
I do have to write a few things about myself though. Since my last post I’ve gone from graduand to graduate. It’s an anticlimactic finish to a roller coaster education.



Also graduating was my younger sister Amy. She got her cap and gown and degree, but decided not to go to her own convocation. I don’t really blame her.



My dad was so proud that now all seven of his children have post-secondary degrees or diplomas. I think Amy was a little embarrassed.

Anyway, I need to get back to work. Being self employed has the one setback of the fact that you only get paid for the work you do. The flip side is that I don’t have to feel guilty of slacking off while I’m on the clock.

Oh, and my sister-in-law wanted me to send her this picture. Just click on it for high res.




Peace out.
