I was on the phone one day with my best pal Bailey, and in response to something she said, I responded saying, " I don't think that's inappropriate." My roommate Britney who was in the kitchen said, "Eva, you don't think ANYTHING is inappropriate."
I must say that Britney and I have EXTREMELY different backgrounds and our stories couldn't be more different. However, we have one very important thing in common, which is the gospel. So I of course took great offense to her comment and said, "Whatever Britney! I think genocide is inappropriate."
I really (not) stretched myself there with that comment, and probably proceeded to offend Britney again and again by the usual words that come out of my mouth. I think it could be argued that I don't filter my thoughts enough or that I don't think before I speak, but in my own defense I maintain that I just call it like it is. And if you can hang, then you can hang. And if you can't, then you can't.
This morning my roommate Emily and I were talking about how it "seems" that every topic we discuss is always something to be joked about. We seem to just make light of everything and turn it into a joke. But we quickly rebuked ourselves and made a list of things that we absolutely do not joke about...
THE LIST:
1. The Doctrines of the Gospel
2. The Temple
3. Abortion
4. The Death or Unfortunate circumstances of our loved ones
5. Mac Users
Keeping it classy.

You guys are not completely inappropriate-you two girls love the gospel with a firey passion and there is no doubt of your testimonies. I love your list, by the way,#5 is...typical. ;)
Thanks Bailey. I'm glad you see the good in us!
And MAC is a lifestyle. Love it!
I Miss you =[
