Oops

Sorry guys, Emmy was on my iPod. Unfortunately I already deleted my photos so she's gonna have to keep them on hers. Thanks Emm! (:

My life in photos

Like my last post, I have to get rid of some photos to save room for my iPod. Includes just me, my high school days, my brothers wedding, gmas old dog(Nellie), cat(Beast), old friends and a post I made about Josh Groban because I love him! (;

Funny photos (:

These are some funny photos I like. Just so you get to know what I think is funny. (: And I have to get rid of them in my iPod to save room but I wanted to keep these somehow. (:

What am I so afraid of?

While growing up I was always outgoing, crazy and a bit fun. I'm still like that but I realized that I've grown some stage fright. It's confusing too. I didn't get it when I was singing/acting in front of a huge crowd(elementary, middle and high school); I don't seem to get it when I show off or have a bit of authority. I seem to get it when I have to be more serious or be myself. People always say "just be yourself and you'll be fine". But I want to impress people and that's not by being goofy.
"Why would we care, Sam? Why are you telling us this?" you may ask. Well people really do wonder why I seem so nervous when I'm actually comfortable being myself.
On Saturday(Feb./2/2013) I was in an interview for Oakcrest LDS girls camp. My friend had warned me that there were a lot of woman there to interview me. Yes, about 10-15 woman. They were in a half circle and I had to sit in the front, where I felt spotlighted. I'm nit going to blame them at all. I suppose I should have told them about my fright. But I didn't want to seem so weak. I stuttered and "uh-d" and even forgot some questions as I was answering them. Worst of all, I always build myself to a dream of working there but have to tell myself there was a small percent I'd even get accepted anyway. I keep looking at the stupid things I did and can't think of anything good.
Another question, why did the spirit keep telling me to apply when I was so focused on an LDS mission? My life has been about let downs, I can't stand this one. Yeah...

Anyway, what am I so afraid of? Being serious when that's not who I am? I want to be more serious during interviews, testimonies/talks, etc.
If you read this, think you can help?! (:
