I really don't know what to talk about, so I'll talk about what I did today. First I got up at 5 o'clock, went to seminary at 6 where we got breakfast burritos from Brother Pinon. We could only get a breakfast burrito if all 16 of us passed off the scripture mastery of the week. This week, it was Genesis 1:26-27. Surprisingly it took everyone until we had only ten minutes left to finish it. I had passed it off a day earlier, so I worked on passing off 3 other scripture mastery scriptures. You see, there’s this girl in my class named Jodi and we are always neck and neck. We’re the best in the class, but last year she beat me at memorizing all the scriptures. I swore to myself that I would not let that happen again. I have my pride you know! So this year I'm going to memorize all 25 scriptures first; not second; not third; first!! I have 8 memorized so far so I'm tied with Jodi. It doesn't help that we're both extremely competitive! At the end of seminary we got either a breakfast burrito or a breakfast sandwich, depending on preference. Sister Pitts also made cinnamon roles in the Annex building for her students, so naturally I had to steal one!! Lol!! Here's something really funny that my friends and I do. I carpool with a family named the Harpers and a boy named Josh. So you have Sister Harper, Adam, Dale, Josh, and me. I swear my friends are wacko!! They’re awesome. Josh and Dale are convinced that Mr. Barbour, my teacher, is a dog. I don't know where they get these crazy things from, but it's pretty funny. Josh always asks, "How’s the Barbour?" There’s a painting near the entrance that depicts Jesus teaching, and the basket in the corner is the Barbour, the man with a crazy hat is the Quack, and well, we don't have one for Shimmy dude yet, but there is a man in the picture that we named Bill!! Josh is always asking me. "Is the Barbour bald, because if he is that would be hilarious because he's a Barbour!!" Josh is such a DORK!! I love him; he's one of my very best friends. I tell everyone about my teachers. Josh, Adam, and Dale absolutely love the Barbour even though they've never met him. I think that's enough.
DINGBAT OUT!!

FRUSTRATION and Favorite Actors
OH MY GOSH!!!! I HAVE WAITED FOR FOR TRULY MADLY DEEPLY FOR TWO WEEKS NOW!!!!!!!! I WANT IT SO BAD!!!! I've learned so much more about it It's weird, he dies of a sore throat I found out. I mean literally, all of a sudden he stops breathing. I swear I am absolutely in love with Alan Rickman. He portrays the character of Jamie with such finesse, and subtleness, and naturalism. He acts a lot like Rex Harrison, who is amazing at what he did on stage! And OH MY GOSH, Juliet Stevenson is absolutely amazing as an actress, especially in this movie. I don't have many favorite actors, but most of my favorite actors are British. I like the ones who focus on naturalism. I love that. Some of the best ones are David Niven, Charlton Heston, Kay Kendall, Rex Harrison (OF COURSE), Alan Rickman, Juliet Stevenson, Maggie Smith, Richard Harris, Tony Shalhoub, Stanley Tucci, Meryl Streep, Nicolas Cage, and Julie Andrews.
My top 6 Actors (in order of most favorite to least favorite):
1. Rex Harrison
2. Alan Rickman
3. Meryl Streep
4. Julie Andrews
5. Tony Shalhoub
6. Stanley Tucci
Well, I don't have much more to say for this time around,
Dingbat out!!!

Jugard and the Titan Crab (Beyonders cont'd)
Galloran (the Blind King) gave Jason the title of Lord of Caberton and gave him a ring and a pinyard. Galloran gave Rachael an Orantium and Rachael and Jason set off to find the sea cave. Jason and Rachael argue about who is going to jump off a cliff into the sea. Jason is extremely stubborn and insists on jumping so he strips down to his boxers. Rachael and Jason flip a coin to see who will jump and Rachael wins, but Jason jumps anyway. He dives right between two very sharp rocks to avoid getting hurt. Jason swims into the sea cave. He then climbs a 10 foot ledge. On top of the ledge is a man with wiry muscles and white/gray hair twisting a piece of seaweed that makes it glow. Jason tells the old man that he is sent by Galloran. But the old man stays quiet and stares. Jason looks away and stays quiet. He didn’t want the old man to think that he is pushing him. Finally the old man speaks and tells Jason he is wise because he demonstrates patience and wisdom. The old man says his name is Jugard. Jason asks if the old man knows a syllable of the word? The old man says the fourth syllable of the word is “en.” So Jason now has two of the six syllables: “A” and “en;” the first and the fourth. After the old man and Jason had been talking for a while, Jugard talks to Jason about how it is relatively impossible to get out of the cave because the only way out is a little elevator and it is occupied by a Titan Crab. Five people had tried prior and they had been killed by the crab. Jugard tells Jason to take a peek at the crab and Jason does. Jugard named the crab Macroid and it is a female. Jason notes that the crab has black armor that is almost 100% impenetrable. Jason and Jugard hear a splash. Rachael shows up saying she was chased by a strange creature. She climbed up the ledge while there was a creature jumping 8 feet high up the 10 foot ledge. Jugard throws his seaweed down over the ledge so they can see what the creature is. The creature that chased Rachael is Puggles the bore hound. Puggles is chasing Rachael and Jason because he has been conscripted, which means that he was reprogrammed in his brain to have only one desire of chasing down Rachael and Jason. Puggles was conscripted by Conscriptors.
