Only at BYU....

If a teacher swears in class the whole class gasps but then no one is surprised at the disscusion of
Jesus Christ

Can you find posters advertising womens seminars one of which is Flirting made Easy.


When you look for housing you first have to specify for married or single housing


There seems to be a lack of guys from the ages of 19-21(19 year olds are all leaving, 21 year olds just got back, 20 year olds more or less don't exist)

About half the graduating class each year is married

You can find many many many people in the freshman class that are engaged

People can date for ten days and then get engaged

You know everyone in your area because they are in your ward and when you ask people what the ward is like when you look for a new apt.

Basically only freshman live on campus.

18-19 year olds are nick-named "Pre-mi's" and guys over 21 are RM's

when they surran wrap signs and statues during rival week

you hope you don't have a roommate from Utah.

I'm sure a lot of other things too I'm just too lazy to think of them

Anyone else excited for valentine's day?

I like you

I like you
Not because you play the piano
But because you only like to play for me
Not because you cook for me
But because you think about what I want
Not because you take me out
But because you want to
Not because you tell me I’m beautiful
But because you mean it
Not because you kiss my hand
But because my heart stops when you do
Not because of the color of your eyes
But the way you look into mine
Not because of what you do
But because you’re doing something
Not because you like me
But because you are you.

She drew on her Shoes

A favorite pair of shoes
is an important thing
often they're old
often they're comfortable
sometimes crazy people love
new, tight, pristine shoes.

Her shoes were once white
now somewhere between
off-white and brown
with blue and black stars
and hearts scattered
her name on the sole

She has a pair of heels
bright red and tweed wedges
she likes to wear them
they make her feel beautiful
even if the squeeze her toes
but they're sunday shoes.

She likes the shoes
that are covered in
dirt and ink the ones
that can get wet.
A favorite pair of shoes
is an important thing.


Animals of Light

Startled I thought
I heard something
scurry across the trail
of water on the ground
looking down I thought
I saw a mouse, but
all there was, was
light gliding over the water
like a bird in flight

Snow-fall

Leaning over the back
of my couch
to look out the window at
falling snow
reflecting at the beauty of each
small white flake
Smiling as I very slowly
slip and Wam
Note to self face plants on
a couch hurt.

New

Making the boots fit

Each morning she pulls
herself out of bed
with a shiver and a sigh
simply drops her head
to face today and all the
tomorrows full of dread.
Age is glorious it's
beautiful never vain
and no mater how much
we hate it, it advances again
each day brings wisdom and doubt
and she wakes a bit more insane.
Wisdom and glory come of a
devestating cost,
it seems as our minds
expand our limbs become lost
beneath pillows we lose ourselves
like trying to find a window under frost.
And a pair of well worn leather
boots lie in the corner
will they work or not, as she pulls
and tugs and hopes for the former
with the zipper pulled 3/4ths up
because they just won't fit.

Cow goes Moo

shuffling along the ice
in my too-small
heart covered rain-boots
along with the other
thousands shuffling along
being pushed with the flow
someone breaks away
and pushes into me
ow!
then I proceed shuffling
as to not be trampled
as I move
I become angry
forced to walk in
a line-a formation
I stop and yell
at the sky
MOOO
and then shuffle on
as I reflect
I think-at least
there aren't any whips
