Destination day trips are fun, but I've been working so much, I think I'd be happiest just being able to do what I ordinarily love doing most . . .

Probably not -- I tried. I don't think the "exactly" was in the right spot. Can you do anything with my post above?

Hey it was out of love. Elphie turned Fiyero into a scarecrow to save him from being beaten to death, and then he risked his life by being set on fire in order to save her life during the attack.

Loss of consortium yes, but it's just a fairy tale.

She turned him to straw to save his life and not be tortured by the guards.

If Elpheba is happy with him, we should all just not worry about it.

I gather you are not planning on SF or north but I thought I would tel you that it is probabyl just as well. Although the temperature has dropped and we have a nice off-shore flow going (light westerly breeze) the air quality still stinks. The fires are still going strong up north and are still affecting us here.

Because, that's not what I like to do. I don't like the monotony of routines. I like to do things that are different, that I've never done before. Doing something new is what I like doing. Besides that, I know it's maybe hard for other people to understand, but relaxing on the beach is kind of boring. I can only do that for an hour or so before I'm ready to move on and do something different. I don't really care for movies much either. Unless I'm laying in bed watching a dvd, two hours is a long time to just sit and stare at a screen. I like to do things that involve moving around, seeing things that are new, going places different. This makes me sound very ADD, doesn't it. I'm not, I am just not really a sedentary kind of person, and I like change.

Yes. I think the final decision has been made and I am going to Disneyland tonight to ride the new Toy Story ride, then to dinner, spending the night in Aliso Viejo at the friends house. We're driving to San Diego tomorrow morning, and going to Seaworld in the morning, leaving in the afternoon to go do some baptisms for the dead at the SD temple (I have to get that done, because the bishop won't give me a recommend to get the endowments out until I have, and the temple date is approaching at an alarming rate), go back to Seaworld for some night show that looks sort of interesting.

Then Sunday morning some friends in the ward are having a french toast breakfast for me, and Monday evening after fhe my roommates are having a dessert party at our house. Somewhere in there we're also going to go hike Crystal Cove, which I've never done, but hear is really pretty.
