your love is NO ONES biz-ness but YOURS!
Hi Alexa,
I am sure that you get a bunch of emails and don’t have time to reply to all of them but if you do have a chance to reply to my email I would really love it. I came across your blog and did some reading on it and was very impressed by you and wanted to ask you what you thought about a couple of things. I am LDS or a Mormon, I live in Utah and am surrounded by Mormons and LOVE all of them but I have a problem with this whole gay thing. I have friends and friends dad’s who are gay and I just really have a hard time with what the church is saying about gays. I know that the church tells us that everyone is equal and that we should treat EVERYONE with respect and love, no matter what but then why do they not have equal rights? It is a very hard thing for me because I love my church and the joy it brings into my life, but I do not know what to tell my friends who are gay…..it is such a hard thing. You are such a beautiful girl and have a lot of passion and opinions which I think is great. you are influencing a lot of people and I’m glad to see you are using this influence in a good way. Please tell me what you think, I really would love to see what you had to say about this……besides ‘stop being a Mormon’ 
Thanks,
Dan
Hey Dan,
Thank you so much for this email. I’m not a religious person at all. I’m spiritual. I believe in god. I think. I believe there is something bigger than us out there. But who knows? What I/people in general believe in is all very personal and subjective. But I know believing in something gives people hope, and being hopeful is a great thing. Hope can help you get through the day, when ordinarily, you wouldn’t feel strong enough to. But, ultimately, all your strength comes from you. All that aside, I’ll tell you how I feel about the churches’ opinion on gay marriage/gay people not getting equal rights:
I think it’s fucking bullshit! Gay people, straight people, Caucasian people, Black people, Asian people, Latino people, etc- we’re all just PEOPLE. We all come out of a vagina. We’re all just somebodies baby. Babies who (hopefully) grow up, learn how to walk and speak and read and write. We all breathe, wake up in the morning and go to sleep. We all experience happiness and excitement. We all get sad and cry. We bleed, we pee, we’re ticklish, we wear clothes, we fuck, and we make love. We make babies, we have mothers, and brothers, and sisters and cousins. We feel nervous, we feel pride, we get scared, and we’re brave. We work shitty jobs, or we have epic careers. We play sports, route for teams, and we serve our country. And, if we’re LUCKY, we fall in love. We ALL share these things, and MORE!
So to have some group of people section themselves off and put themselves on a pedestal and say: ‘no, THIS is the way!’ ‘THIS person gets this and THIS person gets that’ ‘these people deserve this, but these people don’t’ is NOT right. It’s wrong. It’s unfair. And most of the world knows it!
All we’re talking about is who a person chooses to love and have sex with! Who cares? This is none of our business. In reality, religion separates us from one another. Isn’t it supposed to bring us together and give us a deeper understanding of ourselves and love in general? People are so eager to belong and need to think their way is the only way or the right way. Personally, I don’t have a problem with people who are religious. It’s fine. It has nothing to do with me. I just want people to be happy. But that mentality is not reciprocated by the church. And, to me, if lovely tax paying people’s happiness (who are just minding their own business) is at the expense of a churches outdated belief system- THAT bums me out. THAT I cannot ignore.
If I were part of ‘the church’, I’d be WAY more concerned with stopping alter boys from being molested by their priests, rather than trying to stop the legalization of gay marriage- hypocrite jerks! That’s how I feel.

allergic:
i can’t tell if I’m sick or if i just have allergies. once upon a time, two years ago, i went to get a scratch test at an allergists on la cienega. i had no fucking clue what i was getting myself into. he scratched up both my arms, leaving me looking like the sloppiest of junkies OR worse, a scratching meth head! i left saying I’d call to schedule my next appointment rather than make it then and there.
when i got downstairs to the valet- it was one of those situations where you park your own car but give the valet your key in case he has to move it later- there was a HUGE FUCKING DENT in the back of my car! the valet dude had backed my car, HARD AND FAST, into a wall! WTF?
i was ALREADY all scratched up, super low blood sugar and starving! and NOW i was pissed off to the max! i screamed, made super angry faces, huffed and puffed, filled out a claim form (all the while thinking, ‘how do i fill this out? it looks confusing! i’m not a grown up. shouldn’t my mom be doing this? oh shit, i AM a grown up, kind of.’)
from there, i had a dissappointing meal at real food daily, but took home a slew of different vegan desserts and basically (no, not basically) TOTALLY binge ate them ALL ON THE DRIVE HOME. what? i was emotional.
so, since then, i’ve never gotten to the bottom of my relationship with allergies. all i know is that these past 3 days have been a steady progression downhill for my nose, eyeball sockets and throat. i took a claritan yesterday, but didn’t notice a change.
i even steamed all day at the Olympic spa- a Korean day spa. i call it ‘the naked spa’ cuz it’s a bunch of ladies walking around all naked. me included! sometimes i go there with my mom. but most days i go alone, because i’m not always in the mood to bro out naked styles with my mommy. plus, having to make constant conversation with people during a hangout sesh really unnerves me. it’s too much pressure and fills me with dread. not ALL The time, just MOST of the time.
while naked in the sauna, a woman walked up to me(also completely naked) and started to chat. no biggie. i could handle this. i actually find it easier to talk to a stranger than someone who knows me or someone who might have a preconceived idea of me. we talked about how much hotter the dry sauna was than usual. she told me about another Korean day spa called ‘natura‘.
when she left, i wondered if this was all a ploy to murder me. what if it was her job to lure unsuspecting white girls into Korean day spas? a spa I’d never heard of. once inside the so called sauna, poisonous gas would be emitted and i would pass out. from there, i would be sold, sexxed, eatin and/or murdered. it was ALL too easy. and i had figured it out before the rouse had even had a chance to begin. i’m still curious though, so i’m gonna give this ‘natura‘ place a looksies. if anyone knows anything about it, let me know.
i went home, ordered extra spicy Thai food (for the second day in row). and just like the first day, it was delivered by the same uuber cute Asian delivery dude. the night prior, we had shared an awkward silent eye contact exchange. i wondered if he thought i was beautiful. instead, i asked him if his sweatshirt was american apparel. he said, yes.
he was so cute. i over tipped and thought i’d never see him again. i SWEAR i didn’t even think of him when i ordered from the same place the next night. now he probably thinks this is my crazy plan to fuck him. maybe it is. but the crazier thing was, his outfit was even BETTER tonight. more upmarket/fashionably street. i asked him if chop stix were included. he said “i don’t know. did you ask for them? i don’t pack the bags.” OF COURSE HE DIDN’T! he was JUST delivering them! probably helping out his family. i knew he had better things to do and places to be. but i was sure i detected a slight smile beneath his surface. SEXUAL TENSION! I KNEW IT! and as i over tipped again, i said goodbye; holding his gaze and making meaningful eye contact. all the while wondering if he liked MY outfit.
shopping didn’t make it better:
I’m a little glum. Lately I’ve been keeping away from even looking in forever 21. And today, when I decide to venture in….the inventory is seriously disappointing. I used to love going inside, getting lost for hours, running into stylish girlfriends of mine and making the covert hand to the lips gesture signifying “you never saw me here.” But not today my sisters, not today. And what’s worse is that it looked as though the men’s selection was way hipper! What the fuck is that shiz all about? Oh well, at least we’ll have cuter clothes to borrow from the boys we’re making out with. (even though TECHNICALLY the dudes we sleep with should not even know what forever 21 is, and should only sport apc, American apparel, and MAYBE a touch of opening ceremony. but i said ‘making out with’, not ‘fucking’! so that leaves the spectrum wide open!) oh xx1! although it wasn’t your day….I haven’t given up on you yet! Or even you, heritage 1981! I’ll be back, I just hope you are too! WHOOPSIES UPDATE: I blogged too soon! I ended up finding an awesome pine green and black plaid flannel and a super cute spaghetti strapped billowy tank top. keep spending money at xxi! it’s all good!
Hope your Christmas was awesome! did you watch ‘a Christmas story’ or ‘home alone 2: lost in new york’? that’s good. hope you didn’t eat too much, you’ll only regret it. i feel like I’m always telling you that. but you can handle it! i know you can! you sexy Christmas goddess you! well, in case you missed the hills last Monday…..allow me to show you what you missed. i know I’m supposed to be a hills hater, and my target audience would feel the same way, but if the hills is your guilty pleasure, like it is mine, this is the most epic hills yet! emotions will really start to flow and tension will escalate when Lauren and Heidi are at the same event. keep in mind, they used to be BEST friends, and now they never talk! all because of Spencer. i was in tears. check it out! xo H.A.G.S.
