Stout Hearted (Wo)Man

Recently I've been able to be a little helper and help edit some of Alice's papers for a communications class she is taking for school. She recently sent me a little survey asking questions about her so that she could assess how much she discloses about herself to other people. I think that on the whole, she discloses about 75% more than I do with most people. If you are in my "circle of trust" as my sister calls it, you get to hear more about my personal life. But if you are not, you don't know nearly as much about me as you think you do. Don't ask me why, but I don't like to disclose. I have nice little compartments I keep the different parts of my life in, and I like it that way, thank you very much. I am noticing I am relaxing a little bit as I get older. I think it's because I"m caring a little less as time goes on who knows what, because if they are going to judge me, I don't like them anyways.

I found some of the questions intriguing, and almost made her do one for me to see how well she answers the questions for me. In fact, still might. Think I'm gonna. Excuse me while I go email. Okay, a few lucky people have now been officially harrassed. If you didn't get one, don't cry too much.

So finally to my point. I liked the question what does it take courage for Hollibery to do, and I would like to practice disclosing and tell you that the following takes me courage to do:
1. Stand up to mean men. Although if they tick me off enough they help me override that initial fear. I don't like bullies. They make me mad. But that's a topic for another time.
2. Kill spiders.
3. Go somewhere high up without a railing, or a safety belt, or a window, or all three.
4. Stand up for myself in arguments with friends.
5. Use bathrooms that aren't clean.

And in conclusion, my mind, when pondering the subject of courage, is of course drawn to this:


This is what the song is supposed to sound like:



Of course, both of those clips just make me miss this:

BYU Men's Chorus. Despite most of them moving like white boys in this particular clip, they are amazing, and I am going to marry them.
