I don't know where to begin, and I have no idea how I'll EVER end. This girl is amazing, fantastic, wonderful, gorgeous, brave, strong, humble, assertive, open, honest, funny, talented, intelligent, sexy, unique, loving, accepting, non-judgmental, and my best friend. I love her to pieces. I love her to bits. She's a keeper and I know it. I don't remember my first impression of her because it was a while before we were introduced and even longer before we were friends. Neither of us can even recall our first meeting or how our friendship exactly was sparked. Nevertheless, we're stuck with each other now.
Our families went to the same church, and my family switched to her school while we both were in gr.5. My sister hit it off with her sister; same with our brothers. However, we weren't in the same class and I left the school before we had a chance to be friends. Both our sisters were in squirettes together and as soon as we were of age we followed suit (11 years old). By that time we were already two peas in a pod. I also distinctively remember going to her house after school every chance I got in gr.6 and probably the end of gr.5 as well.
Whatever it was that brought us together, I'm sure glad it did. She has been my rock, my sun, my vent, my protector and companion through so many years - our friendship has endured much longer than all but one of my relationships. She stuck with me and helped me deal with puberty, boy trouble, moving far away, depression, family issues, new jobs and faith. Along with encouragement and her deep, bright mind she has opened my eyes to so many things I could easily be missing out on with out her by my side. She has helped shape who I am.
I hope she realizes what a difference she's made in my life. I hope she understands the power she holds and all the good she's done and will do. She is a gift to the world and I thank God I was able to have her be such a big part of my life. Big hearted, she is humbly caring. She might not see it, but I do. Whenever I really need her, I know I can count on her to be there. She quickly lets people into her heart and will do her best to protect them and be a good friend. Thankfully, she's got a good head on her shoulders and can take care of herself as well. With out judging, she doesn't follow the crowd and sticks to who she is. Honestly, I'm in shock right now that I know someone so beautiful, let alone have them as my best friend.
When I look at Raven, I see the beauty that radiates from her heart. Looking at some of her photos today however, I was caught off guard with what a gorgeous woman she is. She has beautiful facial features - sexy eyes with an enchanting sparkle, a welcoming, chipper smile created by large supple lips, flawless teeth, and smooth skin covering this angelic face, - accompanied by long brown hair and a thin, toned, elegant figure.
I'm in love with being you're best friend. :)

YOU CRAZY.
AHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dislike this font because it's not FULL OF EMOTION. I'm FUCKING EXCITED! AND THIS JUST LOOKS SO .. monotone or bland. I am red like a lobster.
Well this weekend. Ahhh this weekend :)
It was good.
Are you catching on yet?
I think by the end of this post you will perhaps grasp that my weekend was THOROUGHLY enjoyable. VERY ENJOYABLE INDEED. AHHH IT WAS SOOOOOO GOOOOOODDDDD ! XD
Oops. I wasn't going to go on about it because I know that Raven wanted to be there with me and stuff; I don't want to make her feel left out. I hope that she'll be happy that I THOROUGHLY enjoyed my weekend though :) And there'll be other times too!
PLUUUUSSS once I'm done getting all this out on a blog then I won't mention it again. .. Or as much at least :P
(Although there are some things that I don't want to post on the Internet for everyone to see - yes I'm paranoid - and therefore will tell Raven about it on the phone or in person. These are things that she will very much like to know)
So, where to begin?
After endless scheming over the coming up weekend, I had given up hope. Plans for camping with a group of people, which originated in May, fell through. Some people were away on vacation, some had family plans and others just don't have me high on their priority list I suppose. Feeling dejected I half-heartily asked Jenn if she would come up to my cabin on the lake that weekend. She had plans with her boyfriend but she was going to see if she could fit in a short visit to me as well.
My cousins have a nice cabin right on this popular lake; the beach is always crawling with people. It is an ideal place for a couple of teens looking for trouble, but a little intimating for me by myself. Nonetheless, I was excited to go up and soak up the sun! I called Jenn after work on Friday, right before we headed out, just to confirm that she was or wasn't (the latter more likely) coming up at all. To my surprise she said yes - SHE COULD COME FOR THE ENTIRE WEEKEND.
Immediately after I hung up the phone we bolted and picked Jenn up along the way. My stomach was growling so I grabbed a croissant at her place. I wasn't particularly thirsty but we decided to bring the rest of her rum anyways ;)
We went swimming, walked,ate dinner, got ice cream and just chilled. I'm almost surprised we didn't run out of things to talk about! We just kept going and going and going and it was perfect.
After the kids went to bed we went for another walk to find a candy store my cousin mentioned. Luckily we ran into people as soon as we didn't know which turn to take and this one guy offered to show us the way. We found what we were looking for, but its kinda too bad the store was closed when we got there. He was muscular, male and into partying.
We met up with some of the guy's friends and exchanged numbers. At 10:25 we booked it home for our 10:30 curfew. Good thing my cousins aren't as strict as my parents.
Under the cover of darkness we ended the night by going for a dip in the lake. Floating on your back on a calm lake during a warm summer's night is the best way to star gaze.
SATURDAY!
Woke up early to kids screaming. Apparently we were babysitting. Compensated by an invitation to go boating when they got back. Sun was hot and water refreshing. Tubing was hilarious and wake boarding was exciting. Third time on the board; I'm terrible at it, and I love it. Not a bad way to spend a morning; maybe sleeping in is over-rated.
Showered! Such a nice feeling! Ate lunch and laid on the dock. After 3 hours? we headed back inside, got dolled up and decided to find a liquor store. An hour of walking later we decided to turn back.
Boy from last night got us a boot and we picked up our purchase on our way back to the house. Just in time for dinner! .. or what was left of it anyways. :P Cleaned up, downed a few shots (chased with energy drink) and went for geloto. CAN YOU SAY YUM?
Texted our new buddy but with no response we just walked, looking for places suitable for such beverages - not easy with signs forbidding it and families everywhere, not to mention a handful of cops.
Home on curfew but escaped to the dock in front of our cabin and took off as soon as Geoff and Diane were inside.
Heard yells from a near by dock and went to check it out. Three fifteen year old girls with coolers and candies made for a good chat. They went to Holy Cross, my old high school! (Raven! One of them had a thing with Sam Garzitto!!!)
Jenn was walking away, chatting on the phone, and I followed.
Kept on walking and made a fool of myself by going up to a group of random people sitting on the dock. Took it out on Jenn :(
FINALLY met some friendly people going for a swim. They told Jenn to go in too. Without hesitation she hung up the phone, took off her shirt and jumped in!!! XD
Went back to their place to warm up, and had vodka spritzers in our hands pretty much as soon as we were in the door. Can you believe it was a bit sketchy?
It was a really nice house, filled with muscular men drinking and listening to music. There wasn't one girl!! Until later. Jenn was Alex, and I was Samantha; when I had it together enough to remember.
Jenn might be the most loyal person I know. She made sure I didn't drink too much, warned me when a guy was being particularly creepy and didn't respond to any flirting due to her new relationship. She kept her cool and was a blast to be around. At a quarter to 2 in the morning she suggested for likely the 5th time that we should head home. I tried to convince this one guy to go swimming; my way of drawing him away from the party with me. His mommy came to take him home though. What a shame, he was FINE! Was left with his friend, who wasn't a bad fall back. Went for a dip and then headed back to my place. Privately Jenn offered to give the two of us space if I wanted.
SUNDAY.
Woke up with a start, lying next to Jenn in our bed, and threw a shirt on. 5 min later Geoff pops his head letting us know that we have to leave in half an hour. Washed face, brushed teeth, and dressed. Stuffed my clothes into a bag and sat in the car, and left the house at 7:30 IN THE MORNING and went to church.
That would be the end of my memorable weekend at Cultus with Jennifer Morgan :)
I'm burnt from head to foot with the exception of two strips where my bathing suit was. The room hasn't completely stopped spinning yet, though its 1:50 in the afternoon. The nausea and headache seemed to have made themselves at home. All signs of a good weekend :)
I'll recover before all the screaming kids at camp tomorrow right???????? :/
Well this weekend. Ahhh this weekend :)
It was good.

Suck it up, bitch.
I've been very frusterated lately. I suppose my period should start soon. Its usually ever 3 weeks, I think its been over now. Last time it only lasted for barely two days, when usually its a solid 5 at least. A couple of days ago I thought it had started, and it fit with timing and hormones.. but nope. I'm happy I don't have to worry about being preggers :)
I'm frusterated with people at work. Oh well. The kids are safe and happy most of the time. Its fun to people watch I suppose. REMEMBER: Don't react and stress; observe and be amused. :) Let the bosses take care of it ;)
I don't like responding to comments really. I started the blog for the same reason Raven did. But then my motives changed. Turned more into a diary, an outlet. I don't want it to be a discussion really. Sorry hun. Comments are fine though :) <3
I have much much much more to say, but Geoff is coming in to take back his computer, so I'll put it away for now.
I miss you Raven.

SPEED.
I'm reading a book written in poems about someone on meth.
I worked today. Kids were cute, but I don't remember what they said. Its really cute to see their little obsessions; one boy loved the movie Mama Mia.
I've only done something once this work week after work. Well on Monday I saw my friend Josie in the morning and Tuesday I hung out with Jenn so I suppose it was really only yesterday after work that I didn't go out. Maybe I would have done something tonight, but I have to work at 7. 7 till 10 and then a 40 min walk home. And get up at 6:30? Maybe I'll push it back to 7? At least tomorrows the weekend, not to mention pay day! Though I'm planning on saving my money. I don't like saving.
I'm used of being on the go all the time, this is slightly uncanny (I've been meaning to use that word for awhile).
Yesterday my devotion was: "You shall not covet" Exodus 20: 17 (and I read the passage Ex 20:1-17)
The little summary was saying that this commandment is of high importance and that all sins come from wanting something you don't have.
"When we don't covet we pretty much eliminate our reasons to disobey the other commands." - Julie Link
True, a lot of my sins do derive from such a concept, but is it actually wrong to want? Good comes of wanting as well, doesn't it? Is it wrong to want to move to the island, even though I'm happy with everything here? Is it wrong to want a promotion?
"When you covet someone else's things,
Thinking that they're better than your own,
Just remember that God's gifts to you
Were designed for you and you alone." - Hess
"Contentment is realizing that God has already given me all I need."
I think thats a really comforting thought, that you have everything you already need. But.. are we not allowed to have more than we need?
And without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever would approach him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Hebrews 11:6
Does that mean if you don't believe in God,or in anything, then you can't go to heaven? It might not be that he rejects those who do not believe, but that their disbelief blocks the path to meet him.
Hebrews 12:7 is interesting as well.. but doesn't really get at my point. Something to read though for sure! Sheesh! Why wasn't the bible this interesting when I was taking religion and catechism? :P
BLAH. I have to go to work now.

Raven?
I don't have anything interesting to say today (anything that anybody with a brain would find interesting). Today was not an interesting day (thats another lie). I want to go for a run, but my knee was really sore today, so it probably wouldn't be the best idea. Maybe I could go swimming, but the pool is a half an hour walk away. Doing a bunch of sit ups is no fun.
I think I'll just have a bath and read :) YAYYY FOR READING.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE UNIVERSE AND ETERNITY WE ARE ALL INSIGNIFICANT AND ALL OUR PAIN AND JOYS MEAN NOTHING. Its not a nice thought. It induces an intensified version of the emotion you feel when running around in big circles to nowhere.
Raven, I love you. You're the only person who reads my blog and props to you! I'll dedicate a whole blog to you asap, but right now I just don't have that UMPH to do you justice <3
Life is a grindstone. Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us.

KALT DIK
6 year old: Miss Sunshine! Miss Sunshine!
Me: Hang on. Hang on.
6 year old: But Miss Sunshine! Miss Sunshine!
Me: Just hang on okay?
6 year old: MISS SUNSHINNNEEEE!
Me: *ignoring him beacause I'm talking to someone else, then..* Alright, what is it?
6 year old: Miss Sunshine, I'm,I'm not allergic to anything. (:P)
5 year old: NO! You can't sit there! I'm saving it for Miss Sunshine! (:D)
6 year old: Is my water peanut free? (??)
5 year old: He was bullying me!
Me: Well, did you tell him you didn't like it?
5 year old: I told him he had no brains and three noses, but he just wouldn't listen up! (XD)
7 year old: {between sobs} I miss my mom! I just wish my daddy and mommy were together so I wouldn't have to go back and forth between them. (
I'm working at a summer camp with kids ages 5-12 for the next two months. Today was my first day, and I realized I'm going to have to keep a record of the things they say, they are just priceless. I love kids.
