30 Days in Pictures: Day Seven

Day Seven – A picture of your most treasured item



Maybe this is really cliche. This was a difficult one, and I had to think really hard about it. I thought of taking a picture of my bookshelf because of how much I love books, but realized that books don't count as one item. So I tried to think of the book that I've read the most and means the most to me. I came up with my Scriptures. I've had this set since my 16th birthday. The binding is falling apart, a lot of pages are bent, and some pages are still stuck together from the time I accidentally spilled milk on them one day in seminary. But even with all the wear and tear, I refuse to get a new set because of all of the notes and highlighted passages and love I've put into these.

30 Days in Pictures: Day Six

Day Six – A picture of a person you’d love to trade places with for a day



This is Sarah. She does really cool things, other than just winning poker games. She tends to be a magnet for fascinating people (why do you think she's friends with me) and does things like spend 5 years in religious cultures radically different than her own and supports her siblings in Miss California pageants.

30 Days in Pictures: Day Five

Day Five - A picture of your favorite memory



Presented: a bunch of Mormons and a bunch of Evangelicals eating dinner at Chili's in/near La Mirada, California. In November of 2009, my friends and I took a trip to BIOLA University for the National Mormon/Evangelical Student Dialogue Conference. This was the first thing that came to mind when I thought of my favorite memory; the whole thing: the drive there, the people I was with, the conference, the people I met, the food I ate, and even the ridiculous wait at Chili's for a ticket split about 20 ways.

30 Days in Pictures: Day Four

Day Four – A picture of your night



I think whoever wrote this 30 day thing expected people to answer this one with pictures of late-night escapades with friends, but I am a boring person who does boring things at night like sleep.

30 Days in Pictures: Day Three

Day Three – A picture of the cast from your favorite show



Since "show" isn't specified, I decided to interpret it fairly loosely. This is Ira Glass. He hosts the weekly NPR radio show, This American Life. I first fell in love with TAL 2 Novembers ago when some friends and I were travelling via minivan to southern California, and one member of our group had some episodes on her ipod. The show tells the not-so-regular stories of regular people. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're heartbreaking, sometimes they're moving. You can subscribe to This American Life podcasts for free on itunes. You won't regret it.
