The Mercenary, The Hero,and The Orb

*This is a story i am currently working on. I will randomly post excerpts every now and then as the stoy grows.*


The Mercenary stood alone on the hill looking down upon the humble homestead placed at the entrance of a mountain gorge. To the unknowing eye the simple homestead looked as if it had been placed there quite on accident, but to the mercenary it was a strategic placement and an impressive hurdle in reaching an elusive enemy. Settling down into a semi-comfortable position the mercenary prepared for another hard night outdoors. It was not a wise move on her part and she despised sleeping out in the open, but now was not the time to be moving around. The wind had picked up significantly as the sun began to set and with the sun gone all the night creatures of the region would be out looking for a meal. She would be lucky if she went unnoticed at all. Just as she sat pondering the sorts of creatures she would spend the night fighting off, as well as the chill of the wind, a light began to glow brighter and brighter in front of her. Before the mercenary could notice, the light compounded into a singular glowing orb almost invisible to the naked eye.
"You really should be much further along the trail don't you think?" With a shriek unbecoming of one with her training the mercenary jumped up and drew her sword.
"Who goes there and what do you want? Tread carefully for your next words may very well be your last!" As she looked around with her senses, her eyes finally rested upon the spot were the orb was trying very hard to become transparent. It wasn't the most ideal errand to be sent on and as far as orbs go this one was just like the others in their dislike for mercenaries. Orbs prefered those with magic, and held little respect for anyone but their masters. "Speak Orb, for I know you and I both know we wouldn't be talking unless you were sent." This particular mercenary frightened many Orbs in general, but the Orb knew she wouldn't hurt him so he felt free to show his contempt.
"My master sent me to you to ask what was taking you so long. I would think one with your reputation would have caught it by now." Yes he was pleased with the reaction he had gotten out of her, but what he hadn't counted on was her suddenly cutting through him with her sword.
"I take it she hasn't captured her prey just yet." At first the Orb was confused at hearing his master's voice, but as his Awareness slowly came back to him, he realized that that blasted woman had actually done him a favor and unintentionally sent him home.
"I found her huddling into herself at the top of the hill overlooking the Gorge of Ages. She didn't seem too pleased to see the entrance." He didn't continue to tell his Master about the house he had seen, for he knew that bit of news would be most displeasing.
"And why did she not go on through? Surely she is not afraid of the stories." The Orb bounced up and down in anticipation, it was hard not to answer a direct question let alone think about lying. "Answer me Orb! Why has she stopped?!"
"Well Master I would assume it has something to do with the house that is placed at the entrance." He quickly had to duck out of the way as the Master had thrown the ledger he had been holding.
"THERE IS A HOUSE AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE GORGE OF AGES?! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?" Pacing back and forth, the Master began to murmur words under his breathe that made the Orb feel highly uncomfortable.
"Master perhaps you should sit down and think about this before you do anything rash." Immediately he regretted drawing attention to himself, the Master turned slowly towards the Orb and pointed directly at him.
"You my most trusted Orb are to go with our mercenary friend and you are to stay with her until she completes her task. You are to report to me daily on your travels. Doy ou understand me?"
"But Master I can't be with that, that, woman! She ran me through not but a few moments ago, and you of all people should know how she hates anything to do with magic! I refuse to go." The Orb had managed to maintain his certainty until his last refusal. No Orb had ever outright refused the Master, and they both knew it. The Master began to walk towards to Orb with a meaningful look in his eye.
"You are going and you will be doing as I said or else I will Dismantle you and feed you to the Nagus." With that the Orb promptly vanished from the chamber and appeared before the mercenary where he had left her, but this time she was not alone.
"So this is the little bugger that was giving you trouble! Why Narissa you would think an Orb would be easy for you to handle." The Orb suddenly dropped two feet in the air at hearing the mercenary's name. No one knew what it was and for years he speculated that she liked to keep it that way. "Now tell me Orb, what are you doing back here? Surely you didn't come to torture poor Narissa again." After gaining some composure the Orb yet again dropped in shock a who was addressing him. It was Conaire, the hero! What would a hero be doing sitting around a campfire with a mercenary? The Orb voiced as much and to his dismay it was made known to him of their friendship.
"Look at him Con! The poor thing can hardly believe his Awareness!" Narissa let out a laugh at the sight of the Orb hanging in mid air looking green with it's colors swirling in a confused mass. "Listen Orb, you can tell your Master that tomorrow I will be on my way through the Gorge and that he need not worry so much. I will have the mark in no time." When the Orb remained in it's place she let out a sigh. "Why are you not leaving? I would think you have had enough of me for one night Orb. Go now!"
"Issa let the Orb speak! No doubt he wouldn't have come a second time unless sent here." At that the Orb seemed to find his Awareness again.
"My Master wishes me to remain with you until you finish. He was rather rude about it and gave me direct orders which unfortunately I can not ignore. I am stuck with you until this whole thing is over. I suggest you hurry up and finish it!" With that the Orb turned a satisfied shade of yellow. Narissa and Conaire looked at each other and seemed to be discussing something silently and than as if they had reached a decision they both lept to their feet and drew their swords. Orbs are not ones who enjoy sudden and rash decisions and what the hero and mercenary had just done seemed both sudden and rash. Before the Orb knew what was happening and for the second time that night his Awareness was cut in half as a sword was sent through him. The last words he uttered that night,"NOT AGAIN!" left Narissa and Conaire laughing until the sun came up.
"Not again!

Interesting happenings of happening...ness

I ripsticked last night...for two seconds before I went flying off the board and into Kenny's arms....good thing he was standing there and is basically a rock otherwise I would have most likely really injured myself! I was embarassed and slightly attracted might I add. I mean really the guy has got some MUSCLES....and he smelt really good hahaha Okay so I had a total damsel in distress moment last night and it was brilliant. Sue me for wanting to share it with everyone!





Secret of mine...I LOVE lying to stupid telemarketers! Yeah they called asking for my mom just now and I was like "I don't know when she is getting home...I am just the babysitter." Yeah I don't know why but I just really enjoy it...maybe it is because I am super pro at lying and I don't really get the opportunity to show off my skills anymore. *Sigh* I would have made a GREAT con artist if I had any interest in it at all...perhaps though I could be a spy...I could do spy things!


I could totally be a spy...look at that hair! Does it not scream of SPY HAIR! Anyways I am busy applying to about a million different jobs right now and I am going to my first doctor's appointment Next Monday. *Bleh* but I guess it is necessary so whatevers.

I have a wager with Charlie that at the New Year's Eve Dance that not only will I NOT get any numbers that I won't be giving any out AND the majority of those I dance with will be the guys in our group. Yeah take that Self Esteem! BAHAHAHA Okay so basically I just want to prove to him that just because HE thinks I am...attractive I guess....does NOT mean that every other guy does. This'll learn him good!

Well got to run off now and do some laundry...since I need clothes to wear and all mine are dirty!

Reflections

So I have had the flu this week and boy does it SUCK! I am feeling horribly icky and I need a hug, but of course no one can hug me because I am contagious. *bleh*

Here is my Christmas gift list:
Green Ipod Nano
Green Sweater
Choclate
Pajamas (and lots of them)
Gregory MaGuire books (almost every sinlge one!)
Gift Cards

Oh yes a good Christmas afterall!

So I am seriously tired of everyone getting engaged this year and getting married. Next year promises to be even worse! I am happy for these people yes I am, but honestly why can't it be me or even me going on a mission?! I am pretty much just tired of every other day being like... "I'M ENGAGED!" and whatever. BOO!

Okay well I will have to post more some other time since I am about to eat Christmas Dinner with the Family!

Oh Frostbite!

So awkward moment today when I was talking with my mom...so she asked me all sly like "So will you do it?" and I though she was talking about her proposal form awhile back and I kinda got all flustered and was agreeing and she thought I was agreeing to me going and running the water bill over to the Water District! Nice save on that one really hahaha I was agreeing rather reluctantly for only having to go deliver a bill....sheesh I am surprised she didn't really catch on although she probably did but is far too crafty to actually admit it out loud to me. Save me some dignity or whatever.

In other news I have decided that I no longer enjoy Nevada as a state. It denies me of a perfectly awesome Winter filled with sled rides, snowmen, and ice skating on a pond or whatever. I have not gotten to ride on a sled in forever and I don't have any chances to go on a sleigh ride EVER. BOO Nevada for your fail of a winter. Who ever said cold temperatures and sprinkles instead of snow was winter? I certainly didn't! I vote that we have snow for Christmas no matter where you are. I spent the whole day watchin Christmas movies and you know what they all had in common? SNOW! That's right!!!

My life is pretty boring and today I fell asleep filling out this mental health thing that I have to fill out...holy cow the thing asks me about my temperment as an infant! How in the flip am I supposed to know?! I seriously have to ask my mom about all the questions because I really don't keep that much track of my mental health and she seems to have an answer to all those questions. UGH personal health histories can go and die.

I wish my life has more meaning. I used to know what I liked to do for fun and if I had a lot of friends or just a few or even what my favorite food was, but now....I can't really tell you much about myself. That is what depresses me the most about everything. I know what the root of my problems are and what I want...well in regards to the problem...but it isn't what others would think I need. IDK if that makes sense but yeah. I am happy for other's successes and what they are achieving, but sometimes I just get so fed up with everyone else getting what I want and I get nothing no matter how hard I try. Although I know my trying hasn't always been the best, but the few times I actually ahve really put my full effort into achieving my goals it all just turns to S@#T and I don't understand why.

Well I am going to bed now after a restless night of not sleeping...well actually I might not be going to bed but rather just sit here on the computer doing who knows what.

OH Missionaries!!!

I miss the days when I was taking the lessons...those times with the elders and those who were there at the lessons were the best times. Seriously I have always been able to get along really well with missionaries and I am really missing the awesomeness that them...well especially Conor Dalton and Ben may who are the greatest guys on the earth and they were the BEST missionaries EVER!!!!!

Anyways I thought I would let everyone know that I decided to post a picture with each post now because i like pictures on my posts...they make them pretty hahaha.

I spent the day in Vegas with my step-dad and we spent a lot of time just goofing off and lookign around because we were waiting for the truck to get fixed which it ended up not being fixed so we have to go down AGAIN! Tomorrow 9or today) I am going to the basketball game to do my reporting on it. Maybe I can get someone into going with me so I am not like this completely lonely loser sitting taking notes....sounds like a good plan.

I NEED to go christmas shopping already but nope I haven't gone. I mean I am trying to be all cheap and chunty and what not so I am not going all out, but still I would like to have at least something to give to people besides my awesome smile....jk jk jk I know it isn't that awesome.

So I think someone tried to hold my hand not too long ago and I just realized it...well his hand was sitting between us (we were sitting close) and his hand was kinda brushing my leg. I thought he was scratching his leg (like I said we were sitting CLOSE) cuz when I looked down he quickyl stuck his hand under his leg so I thought nothing of it, but later his hand was back between us and was kinda touching my leg and his palm was facing up and he even kinda reached towards my hand at one point but then my phone rang (good timing Barbara) and I had to answer which i did with my right hand (the hand he was reaching for) my usual hand. I didn't think anything of it because it didn't happen again, but right now it popped in my head and I was like...FETCH!

Why is my life such a failure at times?

My Life Would Suck Without You

To my dearest friend Barbara who reads my mind and then asks me questions about it...

Let me just say that I love you in the most platonically straight way even possible and I have the most non lesbionic tendencies towards you. Most people probably find our relationship weird and strangely disturbing but I like to think of it as magical and adventurous. Only we could truly understand the deep connection we have and that we don't have to say anything to know what the other is saying.
Only you would I try crumb donuts and nacho cheese with. Only you would I wrestle for inanimate objects that really have no meaning...like cell phones and...other stuff. Only you would understand my strange urge to just go driving and somehow always ending up at Overton park. Only you would burst out into random song with me and stay up late listening to me even though I always keep talking after saying good night like fifty times...well you stay up most of the time. Only you would really let me come out wearing your clothes and different outfits everytime I set foot in your room. We have so many good memories together like all our crazy photo shoots...the weird makeup makeovers where we made ourselves look like trannies or really low pay hookers....the random road trip to Provo and than the other one when I moved up there...the Encore Trip (nough said)...OUR lovely wigs...That time you came to st. george...the other time when you came to California and we were attacked by the evil sprinklers...The unmentionable movie we saw this summer that I swore I would never watch again...the amazing like whole month we spent together this summer after the accident...the Jonas concert (even though I wasn't even watching it with you)...all our random texting and our conversations...VIVA LA BUBBLE!!!I think you get the point yeah? Good because I really have to pee right now but as usual I want to talk to you and I can't stop typing. OH! So I totally love how even now as I type this I am texting you! BAHAHAHA Brilliant. We are often too alike for our own good you know? Sorry for all the shenanigans I somehow rope you into...but you know you like it...that's what SHE said...you know her....the slut with the big boobs and too much denture cream. Love you always bestie...and in the most strictly professional sense....and non lesbionic in case anyone was wondering although pretty sure if one of us was a guy we would so be in lvoe but unfortunately we both like guys so we must try to find someone else to fill that void...hahahaha

How can we find our soul mate in someone we aren't even remotely attracted to? Although I am pretty sure that whoever we marry...they are going to be STUDS!!!

LOVES YOU!!!!!

NADIA!!!

Report this!

I AM NOW A FREELANCE WRITER FOR THE MOAPA VALLEY PROGRESS!!!!!

What is it that I report you ask? Well let me tell you...SPORTS! That's right I am dabbling into the sports reporting side of journalism. While I do enjoy sports I would rather report on the art happenings but hey journalism is journalism and I enjoy watching sports and writing so why not do it?! HUZZAH! A way to make some money!

I went to Vegas today with Kenny and ended up in the college library for an hour while he was in his math class. I found a ton of interesting books, but of course I didn't really read them because I was so overwhelmed with the sheer awesomeness of these books in this library. College libraries are pretty much awesome....end of story.

I gave Sister Bischoff my Christmas present for Elder Bischoff that they are sending in a big box of presents for him. Apparently I am the only one who gave him a spiritual type gift. I gave him this pictures of ALL the prophets dressed in white and in the temple. Oh yes I am brilliantly epic like that and I am soooo thoughtful...actually I just got the feeling that he could use it. Charlie told me today that he and some others are going to be suggesting I be on the Activities Committee for the ward since I am smart and really fun and I have tons of good ideas....this is waht he told me...seriously he said all those things and I was like O_O "I'm WHA???" Really people see the oddest things in me and I am like "If you really knew..."

I am so bored! I mean usually I have no problem with doing nothing but right now all I want to do is go out and do something! BAH HUMBUG! Okay I didn't do that correctly but oh well. I really need to go Christmas shopping and soon while I still have some monies and what not otherwise not many people are getting gifts although I am pretty sure I have some gifts for some people already. YAY for being vague!!!!!!

Well that Sucks

Today was not a bad day for me overall, but it seems like everyone else was kinda having a rough time of it. Charlie with all his problems and Erica is experiencing a major life melt down and my little sister taylor got left out fo going to lunch with me quite on accident and I ended up not going Christmas shopping like I wanted which means tomorrow I am going super early so I can make it back in time to take Taylor to lunch. Oh joy! HAHAHA

The job hunt is still on, but I am still pushing forward hoping soon someone will actually call me for an interview at least! I am applying for a front desk job here in town and then the library job in vegas and than i also have inquired about a nanny job in vegas. I have applied to a billion other places but you wouldn't know it since I ain't heard diddly squat. *sigh* I hate not having a job. I am even considering going to work at Juicie Jucie again *shudder* although even my mom told me I probably shouldn't go there to work again since the boss lady there is NUTS! So let's all hope I get a job soon!

Okay so I am glad that none of my friends in town really read this blog because of what I am about to say and other things I have said. Well anyways I kinda am interested in this guy and he isn't a member but I really don't care about that because he is actually a positive influence in my life, but anyways Erica saw a picture of him and she said "I approve of him being the uncle of my children" Yes the loads of hypothetical children that Erica has...THOSE children...no real ones...yet...BAHAHAHA but anyways he is as erica put it "cute in a good way" not like...pretty boy cute but the GOOD kind of cute, because we all know the difference.... XD The saddest thing is that we aren't even dating and my sister is already talking about stories to tell at the wedding! *sigh* if only it were that easily simple hahaha. But anyways I am thinking about asking him on a date or something or over to do something but idk what...maybe he can help me make Jenny and Dennis' baby present I am making...I am going to be making a Baby Mobile! Oh yes I am crafty like that. Oh snap yeah I basically am going to be really creative with my gifts this year and I figure most of them can be like....idk dollar store gifts or some kind of craft that I make...oh back to the guy! Well we will have to see what happens.

Heavenly Father certainly has a way of reminding us of His presence and love you know? Right now I have a friend who is kinda suffering through something and I never realized til now that I having been through similar situations can help them when I myself had no one who knew how to help me. I was wondering when going through that trial why I was being subjected to it, but I know now that Heavenly Father knew that I would be able to live through it and would be able to help others out. I don't really think any of my friends would have been able to go through it without any solid help or at least someone to vent to who knew what they were going through. Now I am not being conceited I just finally realized one of the ways that the Lord has been using me! This is an exciting thing for me you know? To be a help to my friends and family. IDK my patriarchal blessing does kinda elude to that fact, but I never really reflected on my life enough to see it actually happening! Silly girl!

Ding Dong the...girl is engaged?!

Yeah that's right people this girl is ENGAGED...well to be fair I should say A GIRL is engaged and no that girl is not me although I am pretty sure I wouldn't be posting a blog on it...okay i would but I would probably title it like "HOLY FETCH I GOT ONE" or "HE MADE UP HIS MIND" or even better "I'M FINALLY ENGAGED!" although I doubt I will be needing that one until I am like way old and all my siblings and cousins are married and I am the last one after being the first one to be born. Yeah I don't know how well I will handle being "Auntie Nadia" for so many years but by golly I will do it with grace and pride and not one hint of bitterness!!!!

Now that that is out of the way I guess I should explain what it is I am writing about...I am writing because in this past week two girls in the branch got engaged within days of each other and now that is basically all anyone can talk about! UGH! Seriously I am happy for them but it really gets my goat when the guys all act like it is the end of the world when someone gets engaged. I do believe it was said that their supply was getting smaller....and they said it right in front of me! Like really do you need to act like I am one of the guys and than say thins like that? It hurts my already poor self-esteem and on top of that it insults me that you don't seem to think I could even be in that little supply pool.

I have suffered from low self esteem for eyars when it comes to guys and with two big relationships that both the guy has ended rather unexpectedly it really has got me worried you know? Don't get me wrong I do understand that I am great and yada yada yada cuz I get people telling me that all the time, what I don't get is why they tell me that and they ask why I am still single and than they complain that there are no girls around to date...right in front of me. One time that same scenario happened...like exactly as I said it all within the same five minutes! Boys are stupid end of story and I really wish that a smart one would come along. Maybe I am supposed to remain single for a reason...okay I have a reason to be single already, but what I am talking about is....well i am not going to say it outloud or type it because honestly I don't know who all will see this but let me tell you it is a very VERY good and kind and charming and really awesome all around reason to be single...at least for another year and a half or so.... XD

Still though it would be nice if I could at least get asked on a date every once in awhile...just saying....


In all honesty folks I am thrilled for all my friends and acquaintances who are getting married and having babies! I am so grateful for the life that I do have and that I have been given and I wouldn't change it for anything!!!!!! I know I sounded whiny above but trust me I was stating it in a matter of fact kind of tone. I am not one to be pety and I know that those girls absolutely deserve that happiness!!!!!

The First Presidency Christmas Devotional tonight was just what I needed really. I love hearing from our leaders and especially from the Prophet and hearing the comforting and uplifting words he had to say. Also the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was in awesome form tonight and I really got in to the Christmas Spirit which we all must really remember is the Spirit of Jesus!

Propositions

Apparently my mother has a proposition for me but she doesn't quite know how to word it properly and I think she was generally surprised when I stated I didn't have a clue as to what it was. I honestly don't even want to think of it until she presents said proposition. Ruins the whole surprise and my imagination will take a hold of me in the worst way possible and I really want to think my mom has a better imagination than mine. Although I don't think she is going to propose that I put my plans for world domination into effect...no somehow I don't think that is it.

I wowed my family with dinner tonight and my stepdad was surprised at my cooking prowess and my mom asked me if I was hiding any other talents. I told them I have the useful ability to learn choreography and music quickly. Somehow I don't think they found those skills quite as handy as cooking an exquisitely edible meal. I did enjoy cooking and I would liek to further my kitchen skills seeing as I totally guessed on what to put in this pasta mixture I made.

I REALLY miss singing...like really bad and I miss performing. I always enjoyed it and was really happy when I performed and when I was in the Colorguard. I posted pictures for you all hahaha although they aren't the best quality. There is something about performing that really just brightens up my day and I have no clue why!! It isn't like I enjoy solo stuff but I really did enjoy my solo in colorguard tossing a triple on rifle for the world to see. I practiced for weeks to get it down perfectly and I almost cried when I performed it perfectly at our last competition (it hadn't been in the routine for the other competitions). Than with Choir I did get a duet but they guy couldn't get his timing down. I on the other hand had it down and I really wanted it to be a solo instead since I could sing his part which could stand without mine. Anyways the whole choir ended up singing our parts and I wanted to kick my singing partner where the sun don't shine for lacking in the basic talent of timing. I think I need to get back into singing.

My mom got me reading those Sookie Stackhouse Novels which the HBO series True Blood is based off of...I gotta tell you that these books are waaaaay more awesome than Twilight although that really is not hard to do...hmmm well anyways the vampires are REAL vampires which means none of that sparkly crap and they are a billion more times likely to kill you than even the Volturi. Heck they could kill everyone in the Twilight series and than have enough energy to go over to the Harry Potter people and destroy them. Seriously the Supernaturals in this series are way more amazing and amusing than anything I have every come across and I have been quite satisfied with the reading although I do have to skip over the few racy bits in the books...yeah no need to read about sex but the rest of the books is genious.

GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THAT SHOW! I by far love the mattress routine more than anything else they have done! BAM! I just had to proclaim my gleekness for the world to see hahaha I am a Glee fan beyond everything else.

and now I am off to bed. Good night everyone and try not to think too hard about lifes worries because they certainly are not worrying about you! I love you all and goodnight!

HMMM...

Well tonight was certainly interesting. I went to watch The Ultimate Gift at a friend's house and of course needed a ride since I didn't know where it was and my car is still out of gas. Anyways I got there and I found an empty seat next to a incredibly handsome guy and than another equally attractive guy sat next to me. The whole movie I was afraid to look around like I normally do for fear of either thinking I was looking at them. So my neck now hates me because of the forcing it to stay in one position for the entire movie. Yeah I know I am a spaz at times, but I do have control over my actions....when I really want to excercise that control.

After the movie ended (which btw the move is a must see for everyone!) The first guy left and I was sitting there having a pretty decent and semi-private conversation with the second guy since everyone else was on the other side of the room. We were talking about everything when i realized he is amazingly intelligent, has awesome eyes and teeth, is really attractive, and I am pretty sure he finds me genuinely interesting which is surprising. After about an hour of just us talking ANOTHER attractive male makes his way over to us and he inserts himself into the conversation. Now Guy Number Two is kind of new to our group of friends...like within the last year or so while Guy Number Three has been in the group since before I have been in it meaning I know Guy Number Three better and there is massive speculation that he likes me and has liked me for some time. The problem is that I like them both in the sense that they are both awesome guys but I find myself drawing more towards Guy Number Two. This is all guess work people and nothing has happened with either guy except some heavy flirting, but I felt like they were both massively vying for my attention tongiht and I have to tell you it was really awkward.

A friend of mine (who has his own girlfriend) came over to talk to me about something and both of the other guys completely and unnecesarily (excuse the next phrase) cock-blocked him.
What is the deal with that? He isn't even interested in me and they basically stopped him from talking to me by continually asking me questions and talking to me and ignoring the fact that he had come over and tried to speak with me. He and I were laughing about it later, but at the time I got pretty miffed.

On the way home Guy Number Three gave Number Two and I rides home with Number Two sitting in the back. I don't know what to make of it, but whatever I am going to keep being me and I will let the two of them duke it out because honestly if either of them are even wanting to have any kind of anything with me they need to just come out and say it rather than act like they were.

The movie was pretty good though and it almost made me cry a couple times. I suggest everyone watch it because for reals, Abigail Breslin as a goth girl cancer kid is amazing in it and the main character is amazingly cute. Of course the movie can be a tad predictable, but for the most part it is genuinely funny and charming.

TOTAL RUDENESS!!!

Can we legally kill someone if they completely deserve to be destroyed? Seriously I think there needs to be some kind of legislation about that.
...but than again I would most likely be killed myself so nevermind.

ANYWAYS tonight for FHE the branch went to Vegas for this Choir Concert thing down in Vegas that Brother and Sister Flynn were in...anyways on the way back (we were all in Oliver's huge van) and I was sitting next to Jason Gates (the brother of my ex Jaren) and we were all blasting each other and making gay jokes. Jason and I have always had this physically rude relationship where we beat on each other and I was bugging him by way of hugging him when all of a sudden he started yelling "I'M NOT JAREN!"

O_o

It gets better...I was actually hurt by him yelling that and everyone in the van had gotten really quite and was looking at us and I told him that he had hurt my feelings and it wasn't funny to joke about Jaren and I and he got quite. Than a little while later he starts yelling it AGAIN!!! This time he wasn't even provoked, I was just talking to him!!!! I looked at him and asked him why he was saying that and the jerk says, "Well you two dated."

AAGH! What kind of an excuse is that?! I would NEVER confuse Jason for Jaren and I told Jason I was going to write Jaren and tell him what Jason said and than Jason went off saying how this girl in town is "waiting" for Jaren. Why on Earth does he think I even want to know this stuff? Everyone at this point was looking from him to me back and forth trying to figure out what was going on and the way Jason was saying things it was making me look like I myself am waiting for Jaren which I obviously am not seeing as I have been dating and in some serious relationships before and after he left. Everyone pretty much was siding with me though so I felt good about that, but it got me riled up for some reason and it is bothersome.

...oh and I so totally did write Jaren and I told him what went down. He will get a good laugh out of that.
