My Celebrity Look-Alikes

So... I know these Celebrity look-alike generator thingys are really just to make people feel better about themselves by saying "Wow look how much I look like this really hot movie star" OR even better having someone else say "Oh you are so much prettier than them" ... but I did it anyway.

At least I'm honest, eh?

Here were my results:

1. Jennifer Love Hewitt (the only one I'm proud of)



2. Gackt (Okay I lied. I'm proud of this one too. He's very pretty)



3. Katharine Hepburn (Not my favorite Hepburn... but will do)



4. Roy Dupuis (I know, uncanny, isn't it???)



5. Clara Bow (Kind of creepy.. but I think we have the same headband)



6. Amy Weber (apparently she's some kind of WWE Diva... haha... yeah, right)



Lesson learned? There is fun to be had and time to be wasted on these fairly inaccurate celebrity matching websites. Also: I'm just happy to be pretty little me.

Raw

So, Alexander and I were having fun typing back and forth on my computer the other night and I was reading it again and thought some of the parts were quite entertaining... some clips:

Happy Birthday Alexander! In... like 17 days you will be DUH DUH DUHHHNNNNNN
23!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what is so special about 23?
You are a year closer to being as cool as me.
rude.
sometimes you are borderline mean.
At least it's only borderline.
Jesus Christ said---you are either hot or cold, but if you are luke warm, aka borderline, He will spew you out of His mouth!
Harsh bro
The guilty take the truth to be hard.
Satan quotes scripture.
Satan doesn't use real scipture.
Scipture? I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that word. Yeah he does... just out of context
Ya, not real scripture.

. . .

Jesus is awesome.
That is using the word correctly actually.
really?
how do you use it incorrectly?
My shorts are awesome.
so you have to use it with a person?
Well it comes from the word "awe" so it has to be something like REALLY worthy of awe, you know?
where'd you learn that?
I'm an English major. I like words
so does jason mraz.
he has a song about words.
and rhyming words and reading pages and pages and pages of more words, more words than i have ever heard.

. . .

haha, who ever made up the sound of a laugh?
haha
Babies do it. I think it's just natural. Or maybe they copy people when they hear it.

So. I have to leave in 8 minutes. I almost forgot about that whole curfew thing.

Lame! I suppose I should get going then. Thanks for reminding me. And the espagueti.
thanks for being here
and for cutting the veggies.

thanks for being in my life.
thanks for living.
YOU CAN THank my mom for that one
you used to only be a zygote.
It's true. I've grown so much. I owe her a lot.

It's true, he is a vital part of me living also.

Why we love MLK (ending hatred one thinker at a time)


FREEDOM

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's own understanding without the guidance of another. This immaturity is self-incurred if its cause is not lack of understanding, but lack of resolution and courage to use it without the guidance of another. The motto of enlightenment is therefore: Sapere aude! Have courage to use your own understanding!" (Kant)

I remember listening to a talk that President Monson gave at BYU last year. He told us that we needed to become THINKERS. He said there weren't enough thinkers in the world... and I've been thinking about it ever since.

"Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think." (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.)

Who or what do we allow to do our thinking for us? Our political leaders? The news? Our friends?

"It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance." (D&C 131:6)

Was Martin Luther King, Jr. perfect? No. But what made him stand out? He was a thinker. He thought about the world around him. He thought about the injustice he saw. He thought about it until he realized nothing would change unless people would act.

"Be the change you want to see in the world." (Mahatma Gandhi)

There is a lot of good in the world. There is a lot of hope. There are a lot of good people in the world. We must continue to be good, but not only that. We must act. We have to defend those things, those values that are priceless to us. Our families. Our religion. Our freedom.

"The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict." (MLK)

I don't want to be neutral.

Sparknotes

Does anyone else think it's blasphemous to advertise Shakespeare in "modern English?"

I think William would agree.

WWWSD?
