To Fast or Not To Fast
Dear Journal,
Well I just found out that Dialtone is a diabetic and its fairly serious, to the point that he is not allowed to go without food for more then a couple of hours. Which means NO fasting.
Now this is the dilemma that I am faced with do I make him feel even worse sitting there eating in front of me when he is dying inside to do his duty and fast like everyone else or do I not fast myself and make him feel a little bit better about having to eat when no one else is?
Oh Yeah, Capn' Crunch hear I come!!!
All kidding aside I really do think than Dialtone feels a little better about this when I join him in a bowl of the good stuff.

30 Naked Guys
Dear Journal,
OK I just want to say that there is something really wrong in forcing thirty 19 year olds to shower together. I thought that I got all of my public showering out of the way in High School, this Sucks!
There is just nothing like rubbing cheeks with some dude you've never met before that just happens to be on your floor and showering at the same time. I noticed that there were a few guys with their soaps hanging from their necks, Come on this isn't prison and that is just a little too paranoid, even for me.
I did find out that if you were quick enough to get the Handi shower stall you had a little bit of privacy but unfortunately so did everyone else. And don't even think about showering alone at some odd time of the day because there are roving elders with a trash can full of ice cold water that will sneak up on you and dump it all over you, not cool, well actually really cool if you think of it that way.
All I can say is I can't wait to get to Florida.

Suck and Blow
Dear Journal,
Is it BAD?
That is the question I am asking myself today. Is what bad? is probably what you are asking me.
Well after the whole Pizza incident (Which by the way was sooooo goooood!) I, along with my other co-conspirators found ourselves in pretty hot water as far as breaking MTC rules goes.
I was sitting there getting balled out by a red faced, overweight, 70 something year old man. And, although I knew that I totally deserved it, I couldn't help but let my mind wander back to a few months before coming on the old mish.
I think to protect myself my mind detaches from the moment rather then deal with the harsh reality that I'm being faced with. So I thought back to a night that I spent playing kissing games with a bunch of girls. We played "Suck and Blow" where you sit in a circle, (Guy, Girl, Guy, Girl) take a playing card and you put it to your lips. The first person sucks it in and passes it to the next persons lips and they suck it as you blow it. The great parts of this game are the little mishaps that occur at just the right times to steal a cheap kiss from the girl you are passing to. I think I became a master of the just in time drop.
That same night I remember this girl named Lanita (who was extreamly HOT came over to the couch where I was sitting, sat on my lap, Kissed me, then licked my face. It was very strange but exciting all at the same time.
Anyway, back to my original question should I feel bad for not fully paying attention while getting cussed out and thinking about HOT women licking my face.......Man I AM in sooo much trouble!
I bet they can't wait to get rid of me and my buddies!

Pizza-Impossible
Dear Journal,
So me and a bunch of the other elders were feeling a little naughty today, you would have thought that we stole the Angel Moroni off the Salt Lake Temple or something for how guilty we feel right now but it sure tasted good at the time.... Let me explain..
We started talking a couple of days ago about how a nice large pizza from Domino's or Pizza Hut would taste after eating all this crazy food from the MTC for the last few weeks, well one comment lead to an idea, which lead to a letter being written to one of our buddies on the the outside to set up a little pizza excursion, and well, let's just say our bellies are full but the guilt is worse then the heartburn at this point.
It was a pretty brilliant plan where we had look outs and the pizza guy tossed the boxes over the wall to us (Our buddy had treated us, tip and all) then we snuck them back up to our room and enjoyed the heck out of them.
I think we are going to have to go come clean about this one.

The Chow
Dear Journal,
I was always told that the food here was good (and it is) but nobody ever told me that it would sit in your gut like a rock for about 6 hours. Then just about the time you start feeling better you go eat more..
I'm pretty sure that I have gained about 5 lbs and I've only been here a little while. I'll probably be about 20lbs heavier when I leave this place.
Not like anyone here can help but gain wait all we do is Eat, Sit, Eat, Sit, Eat again, then go to bed. We do get a little basketball in every once in a while.
I think that I may have an eating disorder....I have become addicted to Crunch Berries, man I love that stuff! I could eat it all day long. I better keep it under control Elder Dialtone told me if I eat too much of it I will start peeing pink and green streams. It sounds bad but that might be kind of cool to see.
Later!

Service??!!!
Dear Journal,
So they told us the other day that we would be doing service 3 times a week and that our assignment was building 3 bathrooms.
I always remember doing service in our ward and how good it felt, but getting up at 4:30AM to scrub nasty toilets that other elders who can't aim and pee all over isn't my idea of feeling good.
Oh well I lucked out the rest of the week and get sinks and showers so that shouldn't be too bad.
Man I could sure go for some Pizza right about now.

Mystery Vitamins
Dear Journal,
I'm a little embarrassed to write about this but here goes. So they gave us these vitamins that we are supposed to take religiously...excuse the pun, the only problem is all the rumors I've heard about them.
From what all the other Elders are saying they not only give you your daily allowances of the needed vitamins but they are also designed to lower your desires toward the opposite sex!! That is all fine and dandy since we can't really look at them in that way anyway and if that were the only rumor I would be popping a couple a day just to make it easier not to flirt with the sisters.
The problem is what it is supposed to do to you with prolonged use..... They Make you Freaking Sterile!! I don't know about these other elders but I want to have some kids someday!
I tossed mine in my bag and I don't think I will be taking anymore of those in the future!

Camera
Dear Journal,
I got a package today from Mom.
Guess what was inside? A new
Digital Camera! Mom is the BEST!
She sent a note with it and some
Candy, Jerkey, Twizzlers, and
a bunch of other treats. The Note
said that she wouldn't be able to
keep up with all the film that I
would be sending home so she
sent me this new 12 megapixel
Fuji with a 30 gig memory card!
She is the best!
I wonder how quick I can fill that card up?

Pictures
Dear Journal,
I have got to be the best photographer
that has ever set foot in the MTC.!
I have already gone through 6 rolls of
Film for my 35 mm Camera. Me and my
district are always finding stuff to take
pictures of, from the front gates to the
new batch of greenies, to the wacky
things that we do in our dorms!
Yesterday I took a picture of Elder
Dialtone picking his nose, It was
awesome!
I sent them all home for my Mom
to develop, since it was her idea
to bring this dinosaur (You know,
the FILM camera)with me. She
said that it was my Dad's and that
it takes much better pictures then
a Digital Camera.
I just know she'll love all of those
pictures.

Always buy Cotton-Poly!
Dear Journal,
Well today I got to see what the MTC doctors office looks like up close.
No, I didn't get hurt, but my Companion Elder Dialtone did. I think he was getting a busy signal there for a while!
I learned a couple of important lessons today.
NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, Buy the silky slick G's and NEVER run into the room and jump into your turned down bed that is up against a brick wall, wearing only your Silky slick G's at full speed.
I do have to admit, Dialtone looks pretty funny with that giant goose egg in the middle of his forehead, he's like a freakin 2 legged Unicorn!!!!
Anyway we both got a good laugh out of it and after his head ache goes away it will probably seem even funnier!

First Day at the MTC
Dear Journal,
Today I start the best 2 years of my life! I am so excited I can't even stand it!
OK, that's a lie, man I am such an idiot. Here I am starting my first day in the mission field and I am telling lies.
I hope that no one else reads this but....I am scared out of my mind. How the HECK am it going to get through the next 23 months 29 days and 3 hours.
It was really weird to get dropped off here at the good old MTC (Missionary Training Center) just incase you forgot.
They took us into this MASSIVE room, there must have been a thousand Missionaries there. I saw some freakin Hot Sisters there too.
Crap! there I go again, I am going to be up all night repenting for all this stuff..... Still there was this blonde, and I totally would have asked her out.
They showed us this video and I knew what was coming next... the old water show.
I knew that my Mom and Sister would totally loose it, so I pulled the Hug n Run move to avoid getting sucked into their tractor beam of tears! It worked, but I kind of felt bad after, though when I got through the door and stood in line with the other elders and sisters I was really glad I wasn't boo-hooing all over the place like some of them.
Anyway they gave me a companion..... Elder Dialtone, He seems OK. I guess we'll see more tomorrow.
