The one where I contemplate charisma.



I wonder if people were born to be fun and boring. You know there are people that are just fun and exciting to be around. They are charasmatic and clever and they make you laugh and feel special. And then there are those people that are just boring. They might be nice and a great christian and everything. They could volunteer for charities every weekend and be the best person you've ever met, but they just aren't very interesting to be around. They don't seem to have a lot to say, and they don't stand out in any way. I wonder if people were born to be one of those or the other. I mean, was God just like, "Oh this person is going to be boring and have no charisma." That seems kind of cruel. Or were people born without charisma and they have to work at it? Or was everyone born with charisma, they just have to choose not to use it.

Yes, these are the types of things I worry about.

I was sick yesterday and today. But I think I am getting a little bit better. But my nose is still really stuffed. And I had fun today after youth, I went out with Brian and a bunch of the guys from youth. I was kind of upset that I didn't see Josh today, though. I mean, I did, but his mom was sick or something, so him and his family left early to go home. Which sucks because I love hanging with him. But I still had fun, so it's cool.

Ripping and burning stuff out of my brother's CD collection. Fun stuff, man.
