Peter's Place to Ponder

One disaster after another

I am sure you all remember the last time I wrote about a date I had with Molly, which led to me writing to Governor Huntsman about the smut here in Utah. Well, Mr. Huntsman has not written me back, which makes me think he doesn't care much about our state. And he isn't the only one. My Elders Quorum President pulled me aside a couple weeks ago and told me he is concerned that I am too riled up about this pornography issue. He said something about needing balance and tolerance and some other crap, and I was shocked and appalled that his priorities are so out of whack. I am hoping the bishop will launch an investigation into the EQP's life soon to figure out where these apostate views are coming from. Maybe then they will call me as the EQP like they should have originally. I mean, I had been home from my mission for three weeks when this guy was called, and he has been home from his mission for nearly seven years! How in the world did they think he could still be in touch with the Spirit when he has been home that long. I told them so then, but I will do my best not to rub it in when they have to release him because he advocates smut.

So anyway, back to my point. Molly and I went out again on Monday. I hadn't wanted to make it a big public thing, because I get kind of tired of our laundry being aired on the Internet, but Molly mentioned it, so I guess the cat got out of the bag. Anyway, we planned to go to the temple to do some baptisms, but the temple was closed for Family Home Evening. I should have taken that as a sign that the evening was ruined, but I didn't. So we went to dinner, and everything tasted good, but there must have been something wrong with it. Why? Because about 20 minutes after we left the restaurant, we were walking around Temple Square, and we stopped and looked into each other's eyes. We knew the time had come for our first kiss. As I leaned in to kiss her, she got a look in her eyes that I have never seen before. I couldn't figure out if it was excitement or nerves. Turns out, it was food poisoning. Just as my lips were about to touch hers, she put her head down. Before I could feel rejected, she threw up on my shoe.

The rest of the evening was spent cleaning off my shoe and holding a damp cloth to Molly's head. We had to reschedule the first kiss, and the entire night was a disaster.

  • Dear Mr. Parley,

    I certainly appreciate your stand on smut, which is why I can't understand why you insist on kissing Molly and making her a willing participant. I'm sorry she got sick, but maybe the Lord is at work.

    Sincerely,

    Samuel Whitaker

  • Yeah Pete, weird crap like that can happen. While on dates, I've been robbed, had my car window broken out, and had to drive two hours through a snowstorm. Just feel glad you didn't get food poisoning too.

    P.S. Calm down about the EQP, the bishop is far better qualified than you to make the Lord's callings in your ward.

  • Dear sam's a creep,

    Peter is the one trying to get Molly to kiss him and I'm the creep? Have fun at your next PG-13 or R-rated movie. HA!

    Sincerely,

    Samuel Whitaker

  • Actually, I do quite enjoy most PG-13 movies. I must admit, I watch them only for the rebellous rush that I get.

    Have fun watching Barney. HA! (but watch out for teh homoeroticism)

  • Dear Mr. sam's a creep,

    It's Mr. Whitaker to you.

    Being of an innocent mind I'm not sure I would recognize homoerotocism, unlike you in your sullied world.

    If you get a rebellious rush out of watching PG-13 movies, then that should tell you something. There's a process I know that will help you with that. It's called repentance. You should look it up next time Will & Grace goes to commercial. HA! again.

    And furthermore, I DON'T KNOW WHY SO MANY OF YOU ARE SO BUSY CRITICIZING ME INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON MOLLY, WHO IS ILL FROM FOOD POISONING!!!!!!!

    GET SOME PRIORITIES PEOPLE!!!!!!

    Sincerely,

    Samuel Whitaker

  • Whatever man, get off the computer and go take your meds, before your daddy has to pull you off.

    P.S. I've never seen Will & Grace, however, I do recommend Family Guy, very funny.

  • Umm, Peter you really shouldn't be judging who the Lord calls. I think you need to be less judgemental. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

  • Wow peter, you reaaaaally blew it this time! I am disgusted. first of all, bishops do not INVESTIGATE. They wait at the door, eager to hear the first knock. And where the heck do you get off saying that spirituality is lost by returning home from a mission. If your idea of spirituality is living in a tiny bubble, then yes, but to me spirituality blossoms on a mission and continues to develop throughout real life.

    And, because I can't resist: here is my kissing suggestion: don't do it. i mean, don't do it until you've thought about the next step.

  • You have to schedule a kiss? Also I am sorry but I think you need to get off your high horse, people shouldn't be elders quorum presidents because they have been home from their mission too long? What about bishops? Have they been home too long too? Should we send them back? Overall, I think you should leave Utah for a day and rethink your judgement calls.

  • You have to schedule a kiss? Wow, how exciting. I'm sorry, I'm LDS and all but you come off very judgemental. You think someone shouldnt be an EQP because he has been home for too long? Well send your bishop back to the field, and the high council members. Get off your high horse, you should be proud you served a mission but that doesnt make you the save all of the world.

  • Peter you are a sinner, skipping Family Home Evening to go on a date. That is not something I would expect from the next EQP. The Lord was punishing you for your iniquity. Don't worry though, if I was in your ward I'd still vote for you, oh wait no I wouldn't.
