The fair was so much fun!!!!

You have no idea! I got to meet up with most of my guys, and do most of the things I wanted to do. I even got to do a couple of extra things that I didn't really intend to, either. It was pretty fun. I got this snake and elephant right before the fair closed. They are so cute!

I attempted to do something with my nails (on the bus, no less.) I'm sure you can't tell that it's blue/purple each other nail, but that's what i did. And I spiraled my piggy tails. 

Here's my outfit of the day, don't mind the badge, but I wore a skirt and my favorite longer shirt. 

The guys next to each other in red and black shirts are two of my buds, they went on the big slide together. 

I was just trying to track them on my cam. Yay for action shot mode!

They really enjoyed it. If I didn't have a skirt and had remembered the slide was there, I'd have gone, too!

The Unit: G, Timmy, my boyfriend, me, and Rick. We were missing B. 

Ghost wings! Hot!

They no longer sell the sauce. :'(

Alton's Ghost wings. 

Timmy says my boyfriend and I took it like G's. (We forgot he's sensitive to spice, so I bought ice cream after. Sorry Tim!) 

See, 'Twas no problem!

A strawberry cone and Mint bonbon Ice cream. So refreshing.

More later, class is about to start!

Grudges

My post Kind of Sweet had one lesson from my mom, the one about going out and having fun no matter what. This one is about grudges.

Some people have grudges against others for reasons they probably don’t care to explain, or reasons they are just telling everyone about all of the time. I know people who are always talking about their grudges, but one thing I learned from my mom is that holding the grudge doesn’t hurt the person you’re mad at. Telling everyone who will listen probably doesn’t do much, either, really.

They’re going on about their lives completely indifferent about the fact that you’re mad at them – unless they thrive off of that kind of attention, and most of them don’t. They either don’t know, or genuinely don’t care that you’re mad at them. Which brings me to something a bit more disturbing, but I used to hear it a lot in church – I don’t know why. Pastors seem to be obsessed with telling people to let others know what they’re mad at someone for before they die, so they don’t die not knowing why you’re mad.

It makes sense, but that was … probably a bit awkward to read. I apologize, I’m not usually that morbid, I think…

Well, anyway. I don’t know what people do to get over their grudges, but I guess just think of it as a life lesson. People will do things – often unintentionally- that piss you off. Just go about your day – hard as it may be, and live your life to the best of your ability – and have fun with it, too. Don’t let them keep you down. (If they do care that you’re mad at them, and they want you to stay mad, the best way to get back at them without really getting back at them at all, is to have the most fun of your life, because then they’ll see that you aren’t affected by them, and they’ll likely stop – or at the very least find a new target. Unfortunate, but true.)
