Every single girl my age from my stake in Georgia besides myself and one other girl (who moved in a few months before I moved, so does she even count?) is either engaged or married.
Every single girl my age from my stake in Colorado is single besides two girls. Nope, make that three.
It's still kind of odd.

Let's be friends
I just deleted about 100 of my "friends" on Facebook.
It's not that I disliked these people, or even that I didn't know these people at some point (it's a firm rule of mine that I never accept the friend request of someone I've never met).
No...these were mostly the vague friends from high school, people I talked to in class but never hung out with. Some are the younger people in the wards I've lived in that, well, are five years younger than me and have never spoken with me in my life. I do hope they don't get offended or anything.
It's oddly freeing to delete all of these people from my friends list...their lives are completely separate from mine. I haven't seen or spoken to them in years, so why am I "friends" with them? It's like their lives become a source of minimal entertainment when I'm bored.
Their are a few more people that I could probably delete, but I'll save them for my next Great Facebook Purge. It never hurts to have a few extra friends lying around...

Team Sports
I'm not a very athletic person...I realized just how dumb I sound when talking about the team sports that are a bit less popular in America. So here's a random list of how well I understand the most popular team sports, from the best knowledge to the worst.
- Baseball - it's pretty darn basic as far as rules and strategy go.
- Soccer - I grew up playing it, but I'm the first to admit my knowledge isn't perfect.
- Basketball - also pretty basic; NBA Jam anyone?
- Volleyball - I know much of the rules...it's an application thing.
- Football - I've got the basic premise down, as well as most of the positions and rules. Don't ask me about the plays though.
- Hockey - again, I know the basics, but I have no idea about strategy or anything.
- Rugby - basic idea...like football, but without pads, more contact, and throwing people into the air.
- Lacrosse - I know that you throw the ball to each other with sticks, hit people, and try to throw the ball into the goal. Yay!
- Cricket - Something with hitting the ball and running back and forth between two posts...I think.
- Polo - It's on horses. With sticks and a ball.
All in all, I will never be a sports expert. In a perfect world, no one would ask me about them, but this isn't my world to control. So...ask me how to play baseball, or about college football teams. I know more than your average 6-year-old girl!
