curious and dandy: Needle

Woah. Hold up. It's almost Christmas.
I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!

Everyone is just... so much more happy around Christmas. And everything is just prettier, and Christmas break is just... great. Just great.

I went to some freaky Chinese trip this weekend. I thought I would hate it, but I really didn't. I had fun, but I definitely wouldn't have if Richard and Taft weren't there. I don't really remember what we did there, except for our exploration of the cottage and me carving a nasty smelling stick. I am so tired, haha.

Sunday was awesome. I went and played the piano for the Canyon Breeze care center's sacrament meeting, and I loved it. I love them all so much, and they just have such a sweet, simple spirit about them that I just adore. I will never turn down an opportunity to be around them.

Today was a milestone for me, even though it really isn't for everyone else.
I donated blood today. I went with Jake, Seth, and Max, but I was the only one eligible to donate because they messed up their parental consents, haha. I am terrified of needles. I wasn't iron-deficient, despite my predictions. I can honestly say that it was really hard for me to do, and they only reason I went through with it was because the boys had waited for me and were being supportive. And I knew that what I was doing was for a good cause. I am excited to know that I can make myself do hard things and I won't necessarily suffer for it.

I HATE needles.
