I learned a lot of stuff lately. Basically, it is all about me. But, honestly, who can blame me for being so wonderfully awesome?
Why is Maria so wonderfully awesome? Well...
First of all: Maria Walen is google'able. Go ahead, try it. Google: Maria Walen
Secondly: I am a language! Yeah! So all those years that I was saying I didn't even understand "Maria Talk" I was totally being truthful.
Thirdly: I learned how to make a website!!! And it is super easy! You should check it out. Side note: A different person, one who shall not be mentioned changed the background... which I am NOT happy about. Grrrrr. grrr. grrr. grrr
To sum it all up, yep I am awesome. Little did you know.

A Story Annie could relate to...
or so I think...
One Sunday, namely last Sunday, I went to church. Then I left church. I went home. Later, Elder Armstrong (senior missionary) called and told me I left my green scarf. This I knew. Then he also told me I left my purse there. That I hadn't realized.
I told them I would come by and pick it up a little later.
So I did. I rang their apartment; they let me in. I was let into their apartment to find they had company. Lots of company. Elders. MANY Elders. And the mission president & his wife.
Elder Armstrong: Maria, come in, come in. Let me introduce you to everyone.
Bewildered Maria: Uh, hello. I am so sorry, I didn't realize you had company!
Elder Armstrong: Its fine! Have you meet President Cannon?
Maria: Yeah, at the airport.... I think. Um, well.. actually I think that was the area president. Never mind. Nice to meet you.
President Cannon: Yeah, must of been someone else.
Elder Armstrong: And this is his wife.
Maria: Hello.
Sister Cannon: Hi
Elder Armstrong: Come, take your coat off and join us.
Maria: Oh, no.. no.no. I couldn't. I feel bad that I int erupted your evening as it is. And, uh, I am, uh, not exactly, uh, we'll, um, I am only wearing my pajamas. So I think I better go.
An Elder: Oh, it is okay. We have lots of chaperons.
President Cannon, most Elders, and I turn RED. Maria laughs lightly.
Elder Armstrong: Well, let me go get your purse for you. I found it left in the primary room...
Maria: Thanks. Have a great night everyone, bye.
Outside of the apartment
Maria mutters about how awkward and embarrassing that was. Uses an Annism, "Ahh, I am so awkward!"

BRRR!!!
Brr!! It's cold up here!
There must be some Dakotans in the Atmosphere!
My fingers are frozen.
I am pretty sure Utah ruined me.

Oranges, Apples, & Kiwi
One day my friend and I were on the Metro in DC going from our REALLY nice hotel to some lovely tourist, nationally historic spot. On this Metro, a super cute boy walked on....(allow me to elaborate: tall, dark hair, clean cut, handsome, charming, great smile (it lights up his whole face)... you get the picture). I tried hard not to look at him the whole time... I think I failed. He got off a few stops later. I turned to my friend and asked if she had seen this Apollo like man. She hadn't and became upset that I hadn't pointed him out while he was on the Metro.
She then proceded to say that we ought to have a code. She outlined that if I saw a cute guy, I was to say, "I think I'll have an orange." If she saw a woman she would love to look like, she would say, "I think I'll have an apple for breakfast."
Later when we were getting off of the Metro (at the Metro Center) to switch to the Red line, we were walking along and I was reading the map. She was just walking along. I looked up and she was about to run over a little person. I tried to warn her that she was about to run over her, but alas I was too late. She clobbered the poor thing.
She turned to me again and asked why I didn't warn her. She now said that I ought to say "Kiwi" if she were about to squish a little person. We were to the escalators at that point. (Now, you know I am a classic blonde...) Knowing I was going to mess up this system at some point or another, I told her in all honesty, that I was going to get them all messed up and just start saying, "Apple, Orange, Kiwi!"
She looks back at me and says, "You mean you'll be attracted to an androgynous short person?"
Highly unlikely.

Extra, Extra! Read all about it!
Fargo Forum
Weather patterns have recently caused much confusion to the citizens of the Fargo-Moorhead region. Due to El Nina and global warming according to national scientists, warm weather has permiatted the area causing unnatural high tematures of 25-30 degrees and once as high as 45 this December. Snow falls and melts to soon for anyone to enjoy. Citizens are becoming upset and children are having a difficult time keeping their focus while in school. City official have gathered together to try to arrange for colder tempatures, but have failed to come up with a plan.
The second phenominon that has affected a broader 70 mile radius of Fargo, has been the earthquakes that get a Richter scale reading of 2.0. These earthquakes that have been going off every day starting around 10;30 and last about 10 minutes and then occur about another 30 minutes later, have now ceased. Confusion is high, but do not despair: researchers have found the cause. A local hotel, the Econo Lodge, located on 13th Ave and 34th St S is where they have radiated from. Local authorities have questioned all personel about these earthquakes. They all claimed to not have the faintest idea of what was happening. After detailed explaination of these earthquakes, one recptionist stated that their washer for laundry made "armaggedon like noises and shaked as if it were trying to emplode upon itself." Investigations and test have proved the washer to be the source of such tribulation. It has since been fixed.
