I have recently felt empowered to do anything and everything I want. I am currently training for a 1/2 marathon and the other week I ran 10 miles for the first time in my life. That is something I thought I would never do because I've never really enjoyed running. With this new feeling of empowerment I decide to undertake another thing that I never thought I would be able to do. I am learning to play the guitar. I started on Saturday with a guitar I found at my parents house, and already I know half a song and like 10 chords. I guess I just got sick of always saying I wish I could play, when for heaven's sake, what was stopping me? So the fact that I know 10 chords is further (farther?) than I ever thought I would be. It's slow going of course and I have blisters on my fingers, but as long as I stick at it I will be able to soon say, "I play the guitar."
The other day I was driving to the store and I saw a sign that said "Siamese kittens: $20" I thought that was funny because the first thing that popped into my mind was a picture of actual Siamese, or conjoined kittens. Where are they conjoined, I wondered. Then I started really wondering if there was such thing as conjoined kittens and sure enough, I found this picture and others like it.
This morning I was running along Canyon Road in Provo and I saw this sign:
Oh great, I thought. There is a man with a top hat doing a tap dance ahead. Needless to say, I never saw him. Maybe he was taking his morning break or something.
I went to my friend Megan's house yesterday and met some of her friends. She introduced me to a guy named Mike who then said, "nice to meet you Abby...now how old are you?" I looked at him funny for about 30 seconds thinking why on earth he needed to know how old I was. Like ohhh you're 19, okay cross you off my list. Or what if I was 25 would he be thinking, welp, too old for me? I told him I was 14 attending EFY and just here visiting my friends. He finally realized how it was a little strange to say that and then we all started laughing. Apparently he thought I was a different Abby that he and my friend Megan had been talking about earlier, and it would have made more sense if I was her. We had a few good laughs about it.

Ha ha! You're funny. I like you.
I was cracking up about the football player incident in the RB, by the way. I can recall having to pass by herds of athletes running and jumping around in there...but never throwing up over the railing. Also, that conjoined cat picture is little disturbing to me and that's good that they warn you that there might be some tap dancing ahead, because it really could cause an accident. Not to mention the trouble it may have caused you, as a pedestrian, trying to pass through a tap dance routine...it's probably much better that he was on a lunch break or something. :)
I did laugh at loud!
Why do you always have disturbing pictures--nasty toes (Scott couldn't believe you posted that!) and now a 2-headed kitten! You are quite funny--you must have gotten that from me.
