tired

i'm tired... and not just because i feel like i haven't slept in months, but i'm just exhausted, i feel so spent like everything i have to offer the world is already out on the table, and i keep trying to do more because i don't feel like i do enough. and because there are thing i need and want to do that i haven't been doing. i feel like i need to just a month that i can remove myself from people... in general... i think that is something that has really tired me out, people and what they think of me, or at least what i think they think of me.
i just want... i don't know what i want right now, that's a problem to. i know what my end goal is, but i just don't know what i'm gonna do to get there. i hope i've made the right choices in the past... and i don't have more regrets.

prayer and faith.

I've been really stressed as of late, mostly because of my summer schedule, I've gotten cast in the fall play, which is preformed just a few weeks into school so must be rehearsed for over the summer. and then i am also on Orem high seminary counsel, which not only do we have the summer seminary program to run, we have meetings all through the summer, then on top of that i am still trying to find a job... and that isn't turning anything up at all...

i guess i just need to trust in the lord and pray...

nettiquette... a few basics and some pet peeves of myself!!!!!!!!

For those who don't know what netiquette is... going Google it! so now that you've read up on it, and for the people who won’t because I know there will be, here are the basic rules to being polite and right on the net.

1.Remember that there is a real person at the other end, just because you can’t see hem doesn’t mean they’re not there.
2. be who you really are. If you wouldn’t do it in person, you had better not do it in real life!
3. be aware that each website has its own social codes. Watch and learn before you participate.
4. be respectful of others time. Just because they don’t answer you right away does not mean they aren’t interested in what you have to say, however make what you have to say matter.
5. Use the power of anonymous, but know what you are talking about. People will be more likely to listen if your writing is good, then if you just say whatever and move on.
6. You have experts and novices online, become an expert and help the novices.
7. Refer to number one; even if the person deserves to be put down don’t take too long about it. Even though the Internet fights can be funny it gets old fast.
8. Reading someone’s real letters is against the law, so why read their emails?
9. Just because you have power does not mean you can take advantage or are above the netiquette rules.
10. Everyone is or was a novice, be polite and don’t get mad at them for a simple mistake, but if you feel you must do it nicely or in a private email.

Now I know some of these seem kind of like common sense. when I first found these and started to rule my Internet life by them a few of them I thought we silly, I mean really I understand if you take a while to answer my email, all I ask is that you eventually answer my email. And really why would someone other than a creep or a suspicious spouse read some ones email. (And as for the suspicious spouse, if you have good reason or stumble upon it I understand)

So any way, I love these rule and have never really had to think about the putting people down, because I know I'm not an expert yet, I'm kind of in between expert and novice. I've had experts help me along the way and I’ve "witnessed" some awesome lessons.

So now to the reasons behind this post.

I’d like o add to these rules that unless your page blog or even facebook is on either the highest security or private, you should never state personal facts, about yourself, but especially about others.

A few days ago I happened across something about a private subject that concerned a dear friend of mine. It really concerned me that this person, who had nothing to do with the situation, would post about it when she obviously didn't have all the information. I sent an email explaining my concern, to which I not only received a reply I received a post. She didn't name names but it was dripping with venom. In the rules about it says to put people down quickly and end it soon, which I attempted to do, I also tried to be as polite about it as possible, but she continued to attack me. I have now given up and am a little discouraged.

I have no regrets about my actions, and am just sad that his had to happen...

Oh well I just thought I’d update you...
